Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss Chapter 1400: A very tiring day in 1399

Chapter 1400: A very tiring day in 1399

Tan Rou and Lin Yu had to take turns explaining to the king what a metro was and how high-speed rail operated.

The nation J was severely affected by desertification, characterized by abundant sandstorms and sandy landscapes, making even road construction challenging, let alone high-speed rail.

The king was very interested, he asked, “Based on what you two envision, when could my country possess such transportation?”

Given the situation in Nation J, it was estimated that even in fifty years, they would not be able to construct metros and high-speed rails, as their level of technological development did not meet the requirements for building metros. Moreover, since the civilians in Nation J were quite poor, would the king agree to let them use the metro at an affordable price?

The king would definitely not do that, in his eyes, everything in the country belonged to him, including the money in the civilians’ hands.

Tan Rou gave Lin Yu a look, signalling him to chat with the king.

Lin Yu said, “Your Majesty, we mustn’t rush things. Right now, the projects we are discussing involve robots and locators, so let’s settle this issue first. Besides, Miss Tan Rou isn’t a specialist in transportation, even if you question her, she wouldn’t know the answers.”

Tan Rou concurred, “Yes, I don’t know much about that area. I’ve told you all I know. If you’re interested in transportation, perhaps you could have your research personnel look into it.”

The king could tell that Tan Rou didn’t want to talk anymore, so he switched the topic, “I heard from Mr. Lin that you want to use my country’s satellite to study locators; which satellite do you want to borrow?”

Nation J had satellites, but their satellites were not built by them, they were purchased. The king was very wealthy, so buying several satellites was not an issue.

After hearing the king’s words, Tan Rou was momentarily confused by what the king had said. Locators had already been developed, so how could they possibly need to borrow Nation J’s satellite to study locators?

What Tan Rou meant was that the operation of the locators required Nation J’s satellite; only if the locator and the satellite could work together could the locator be effective, otherwise the locator would just be an ornament.

“Perhaps Your Majesty has misunderstood my explanation,” Tan Rou clarified, “I don’t mean to borrow Nation J’s satellite to study locators. Instead, our company’s locator needs a compatible satellite system to function properly. We are not very familiar with your country’s satellite positioning, so further study is needed.”

The king, not wanting to listen to so many technical terms, said plainly, “Just discuss whatever you need directly with Rake; he will cooperate with you in the research. But I must warn you, if you intend to steal our national secrets, I will not let you off easily.”

If not for the crowd there, Tan Rou really wanted to roll her eyes at the king; what nonsense was he talking about? What was the level of development in Nation J, and what was the level of development in her own country? Anyone with a brain could tell which country had higher technological standards.

The king warned Tan Rou not to steal Nation J’s secrets, but even if Nation J placed their secrets in front of Tan Rou, she wouldn’t give them a second glance. Backward countries with backward thinking and backward technological standards made Tan Rou’s head ache just thinking about it.

Furthermore, dealing with this arrogant and ignorant king, Tan Rou really wanted to slam the table and leave; she could pay the breach of contract fee because she just didn’t want to cooperate with such a person.

Seeing that Tan Rou was getting impatient, Lin Yu hastily said, “Your Majesty, please be a.s.sured, Miss Tan Rou is a very structured businesswoman and they are highly committed to contractual agreements, so you don’t need to worry about them stealing Nation J’s secrets.”

The king still trusted Lin Yu, and upon hearing his words, he nodded slightly, “Okay, let’s leave it at that then, I have other matters to attend to and must leave now. You all can continue the discussion.”

Tan Rou couldn’t wait for the king to leave, so she said with a smile, “Please go ahead with your affairs, I will discuss the project with Mr. Rake.”

After the king left, Tan Rou murmured to Lin Yu softly, “Mr. Lin, do you think this is a good deal?”

Lin Yu just smiled and didn’t respond.

Tan Rou felt mentally exhausted; no work had ever made her feel this drained before.
