Attending an international conference like this was often exhausting.
The first day was exciting and thrilling, but the second day was full of boring, endless meetings.
The funding part was already agreed upon. The China Ministry of Foreign Affairs already negotiated with various countries prior to the meeting. China was going to invest 10 billion, the US was investing 5, EU investing 2, Russia investing 1, the Japanese investing 800 million… Totalling US$20 billion.
The only problem was setting up a budget committee for the project.
For some reason, the American representatives' attitudes totally changed on the second day. They were curt and aggressive.
Especially Director Carson; whenever he talked about setting up a budget committee, his smile quickly disappeared.
However, this was somewhat understandable.
