“Hahaha, everyone in the world knows that I, Little Swift, am the most law-abiding person!” Little Swift suddenly burst into laughter, “So the Supreme Court’s injunction is still in effect, but it doesn’t apply to our railways at all.”
“What? That’s impossible!” the reporter said in shock.
“Come, give me a close-up!” Little Swift beckoned to the live camera, which flew over on its own and focused on the injunction in his hand.
“Look, this is what the injunction originally said: prohibiting the American United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company from building pipeline railways on American soil. That’s right, isn’t it!”
“That’s correct!” The reporter nodded, after all, it was written in black and white, and he was the one who brought this injunction. There was no way he could deny it.
“Exactly! This injunction only prohibits us from building pipelines on the surface, but it doesn’t prohibit us from building pipelines underground!” Little Swift said with a smile. As these words were spoken, both the reporters on the scene and the audience in front of the screens widened their eyes, and many had already guessed something.
“Actually, there’s something I haven’t told everyone, and that is that I myself am a member of the World Environmental Protection Alliance, initiated by Ms. Versailles. I personally regard environmental protection as the most important task and mission in this world, so how could I do anything that would destroy the homes of animals?” Little Swift said emotionally.
World Environmental Protection Alliance. Hearing this name, many people couldn’t help but recall that it was this environmental foundation that had taken the lead in initiating a joint lawsuit demanding that the previous American United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company stop its pipeline construction.
At the same time, this environmental foundation had become the most renowned environmental fund in recent years, organizing numerous environmental movements worldwide, including the vegetarian movement, the movement demanding that enterprises not pollute water sources, the movement against afforestation in deserts to protect desert biodiversity, and so on.
In any case, their actions became more famous than the last, igniting the environmental awareness and sentiments of countless people worldwide, making it one of the most well-known international environmental foundations. Who would have thought that Little Swift himself was actually a member of this environmental foundation?
And in the future, when this video logs onto various bullet screen websites, a sentence will sweep across the entire screen: “High energy ahead.”
Thus, after Little Swift revealed his identity, the reporter who had been aggressive just moments before, looking at Little Swift as if he were an enemy, said in an extremely incredulous tone, “What? You are also from the World Environmental Protection Alliance!”
Well, it turned out that this reporter was also a member of the World Environmental Protection Alliance. Both of them being members of the same organization made many viewers laugh hysterically. Later, this became a popular internet meme.
“How is this possible?” the reporter muttered to himself. Little Swift said solemnly, “This is the truth. Due to my personal reasons, I could not disclose this matter. However, when I saw someone who shared my ideals throw a shoe at me, I realized that the time had come to make this public.”
“In fact, like you, and like all the people who support environmental protection outside, my ultimate goal is to build this world into an environmentally friendly world where humans and nature coexist harmoniously.”
“But I also love our country, and I don’t want to see our country lagging behind in any aspect. Therefore, when I saw the perpetually elusive pipeline of the American United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company, I decided to take over this company and achieve a win-win situation, both protecting animals and allowing our citizens to have high-speed and high-quality travel!”
“Fortunately, we found the path of laying pipelines underground. This is an extremely perfect solution. Firstly, we can have such a pipeline. Secondly, this pipeline is buried underground and will not cause any interference to the land environment on the surface. All animals can still run freely on the land as before. This is the solution given to us by God!”
“But we developed this technology too late. We had been researching the technology for building pipelines on the surface and had invested trillions of dollars in research and development funds for this purpose.”
“Although the technology has been successfully developed, it cannot meet the environmental protection requirements, and the Chinese have taken the lead, developing this technology for laying pipelines underground.”
“Regarding this, our entire board of directors discussed and researched for a long time. Finally, we made an extremely difficult decision. For the sake of the great cause of environmental protection, we will completely abandon our mature surface ultra-high-speed magnetic levitation vacuum pipeline technology, which we have already invested trillions in, and temporarily purchase the underground ultra-high-speed magnetic levitation vacuum pipeline technology from China.”
“Fortunately, I have many Chinese friends, such as our world's richest man, Mr. Huang He. My relationship with him is very deep. If it weren’t for his discovery back then, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to stand here and chat with you today!”
“Mr. Huang He himself attaches great importance to the world’s environmental protection cause. When he learned of my needs, he immediately paid 120,000% attention and helped us communicate with the Chinese authorities, finally finalizing the technical licensing matters, allowing us to start construction of our underground ultra-high-speed vacuum magnetic levitation pipeline immediately.”
“Moreover, for the development of the world’s environmental protection cause, they agreed to transfer all their technology licenses to us at a symbolic price of one US dollar. Here, I take this opportunity to pay my highest respects to all our Chinese friends who helped us in this technology negotiation!”
After the explosive shoe-throwing performance and Little Swift’s own impassioned speech, the atmosphere at the scene and in the live broadcast reached a climax.
Especially when Little Swift later announced that the isolation barriers were completely opened, inviting all the protesters and environmental activists demonstrating outside to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony, and everyone was given a shovel to symbolically move the soil, countless people couldn’t help but shed tears. It was such a moving scene.
This was a scene destined to be recorded in history. Protesters and those being protested, environmentalists and those being environmentalized, were tightly united, working together. What a beautiful picture!
Later, a famous painter created a renowned oil painting titled “America · Unity is Strength,” which became a world-class masterpiece, permanently displayed in the center of the National Museum of the United States, becoming a classic oil painting that inspired countless Americans to unite.
Of course, these are all subsequent events. After the groundbreaking ceremony and the live broadcast concluded, and as all the shareholders of the American United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company gathered in a temporarily built luxurious banquet hall for a dinner party, quite a few directors still found Little Swift and expressed their dissatisfaction, questioning why he suddenly staged such a performance.
“You’re just gilding the lily!” a young director said with great concern, “Now the whole country and even the whole world knows that we are using Chinese technology, and we have Chinese funding behind us. If these matters become widely publicized, the entire situation will be difficult to control!”
“After all, online public opinion is too terrifying these days, and sometimes even we can’t control it, leading to uncontrollable storms!”
“Mr. Director, it is precisely to prevent such storms from occurring on the internet in the future that I arranged this performance at today’s groundbreaking ceremony!” After listening to the director’s complaint, Little Swift directly picked up the microphone and said in front of all the directors in the banquet hall, admitting that it was a deliberately arranged performance, meaning that the reporter who threw shoes at him was actually arranged by him.
“Everyone, the internet is all-pervasive nowadays, and many intelligence matters cannot be kept secret from everyone. And our environmental issues, the problem of using Chinese technology, and my personal background with Chinese capital are all things that cannot be hidden and will definitely be discovered in the future, thus becoming major troubles for us.”
“So, rather than facing these public opinion troubles later, it is better to reveal these troubles now in a created environment that is absolutely beneficial to us, and then completely resolve them.”
“Just like this time, after this great reconciliation, even the most ardent environmentalists will no longer criticize our pipeline railways. More importantly, in the future, no one will question why we are using Chinese technology. Because all of this is for environmental protection, for the consideration of the world’s environment, not for our own interests!”
“Now that we have voluntarily exposed it, then in the future, there will be no more such troubles to bother me. Our use of Chinese technology is even a great deed that benefits the present and lasts for future generations, solving all potential future problems in one go. Shouldn’t my performance have been necessary?”
As Little Swift finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause from the scene. Everyone marveled, no wonder Little Swift could become the financial god of the black community. This wisdom was truly astonishing.
“Mr. Little Swift? Are the Chinese really willing to transfer their technology for one dollar?” Amidst the warm applause, a director couldn’t help but ask, which was what they truly cared about.
“Yes, the price in the transfer agreement is indeed only one dollar!” Little Swift nodded, “However, this was achieved with the guarantee and facilitation of Mr. Huang He at my strong request.”
“The price is that in the future, the purchase price per kilogram of all conductive coating materials we procure will be 1.8 million US dollars more than the originally agreed purchase price. We expect to purchase a total of 300,000 kilograms of such special materials, which will amount to an additional 450 billion US dollars, precisely the price of the technical license we originally agreed upon!” Little Swift said with a smile.
“However, please rest assured, everyone, this special conductive coating can only be produced by Jiangnan Group worldwide, so only they have the final say on the purchase price, and no one will know about our small additional expenses!”
