Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1221: Time Is Running Out (5)

Gu Nuan glanced at the document she placed on the table and raised an eyebrow, "Have the terms changed?"

"Yes. My husband said that there are some things he truly finds hard to part with, so in the circumstance of being unable to give them up, we can only ask for Chairman Gu’s understanding."

Speaking of doing business with Americans, it’s all much the same. Don’t think that Americans, even though they portray themselves as democratic, really cooperate for mutual benefits and win-win situations. No. Americans are the most cunning businessmen in the world. Otherwise, how else would America still be the leader globally?

What makes America the leader is not money, not US Dollars, but technology, high technology. In stark contrast, current Chinese companies are not lacking in funds, but they lack technology, cutting-edge technology.

When Gu Nuan initially chose to collaborate with Bauer, it wasn’t the land he possessed that attracted her, but the research institution in his hands, regarding new construction materials and methods that seek breakthroughs in world architecture. These will fundamentally change the future of the real estate industry.

Americans are indeed the most imaginative world-class adventurers. For the Chinese, for example, building a hotel on the moon seems to only exist in science fiction novels at this stage. But for Americans — like entrepreneurs such as Bauer — they have already gathered the world’s most famous scientists to study this field. This, of course, boils down to the domestic development culture of America.

These are the things Gu Nuan values the most. With the rapid advancement of technology, it can be said that technological development in nearly a hundred years has been a great leap, far exceeding human development over the past thousand years. She must contribute to Changda and the architectural development of future Chinese people to ensure they do not fall behind the world. Perhaps she may see such a day in her lifetime.

However, Americans are aware of this too. Mastering the latest technology is equivalent to mastering the future, so generally, they throw outdated technology to the Chinese, while holding onto the latest. Then, they make the Chinese devour these useless things, gaining money from them to create more valuable technology. The result of this cyclical development is, naturally, that the best things are always in the hands of Americans.

Gu Nuan doesn’t understand why Li Changzhi ultimately chose to marry someone like Bauer, because Americans are too clever, and to them, marriage is like a contract, no different from doing business, with all terms clearly listed before marriage. Whatever benefits Li Changzhi hopes to gain from this marriage might not be easily attained.

This is evident just by looking at the situation of the Xiao Family’s fourth child, Xiao Shuzhu.

How Li Changzhi fares is actually not what Gu Nuan is concerned about. What concerns her is that this American actually trusted Li Changzhi enough to have her negotiate with Gu Nuan.

Was Bauer being careless, or did Li Changzhi display too much confidence in front of Bauer?

If one were to ask where Li Changzhi’s confidence comes from, it certainly isn’t from marrying this American. On this point, Gu Nuan sees it clearly as well. Li Changzhi is not conceited about her beauty, but rather unsatisfied with her business acumen.

Li Changzhi said, "Chairman Gu is a smart person. Both my husband and I believe that Chairman Gu has no reason to refuse such terms. Because for Chinese companies to expand their new industries in the United States, essentially, the US government is happy to see Chinese companies investing in America, but they may not necessarily like to see Chinese companies taking away American technology." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"You mean, under the previous cooperation terms, the US government might not approve?"

"That’s certainly the case. We’ve revised these terms in order to further our cooperation with Chairman Gu."
