Chapter 731: Chapter 311: Mysterious Process_3 Chapter 731: Chapter 311: Mysterious Process_3 Yan Fei spoke assertively, “Considering that you have compensated Dream Technology for its losses and demonstrated your sincerity, the patients with incurable diseases from your three countries can still come to Dream Island for treatment. However, the cost of their treatment will be substantially increased, to fifty million US dollars per person.”

At the news conference on Dream Island, Yan Fei had announced the treatment cost for the Terminal Illness Hospital was five million RMB, but that was the price for domestic Chinese patients; at the time, he did not mention the treatment costs for patients from countries outside of China. Now, Yan Fei was bringing it up for the first time, suddenly raising the treatment cost for patients from these three countries to fifty million US dollars. This increase was staggering, at least seventy times more than the base price for Chinese citizens.

The negotiator from Canada was the first to express dissatisfaction, saying, “Mr. Yan Fei, the treatment cost for us in Canada is too expensive. Why can't it be the same as the treatment cost in China? The disparity between five million RMB and fifty million US dollars reaches a factor of seventy…”

Yan Fei replied calmly, “China is my homeland, and I have Chinese blood running through my veins. Therefore, all Chinese people are my relatives, and what's wrong with looking after my own kin? As for you, if you don't agree with the price, then simply don't come for treatment. After all, the number of patients we can treat each day is limited. If your people don't come, we can treat more Chinese people instead.”

The negotiator from Canada, who had been angry, suddenly had an epiphany. Those patients with incurable diseases who had a strong desire for treatment were actually the wealthy people within the country. For them, spending fifty million US dollars for a chance at life was an extremely good deal. Other ordinary patients with incurable diseases hardly had any money at all; even if the price was lowered to five million RMB, they wouldn't necessarily be able to afford it, so the price increase was virtually irrelevant to the general populace. In that case, why bother fighting for benefits for these ordinary people?

Because he suddenly understood this, the negotiator from Canada no longer objected and tacitly accepted Yan Fei's raised prices. The negotiators from Japan and Australia, with their agile minds, had already thought through the key points and thus did not speak out against it either.

Yan Fei said, “As long as you abide by the agreement, then we can renegotiate after two years. It is not impossible for you to re-enter the Directory of Friendly Cooperation at that time. By then, your treatment costs could be significantly reduced.”

The negotiators from the three countries fell silent for a moment before responding, “We have no objections to this clause.”

Yan Fei smiled and said, “Very good, it seems we are all very sincere and have reached so much consensus. Now let's discuss the third condition, which is that when personnel from Dream Island and Dream Technology are in your countries, you shall not arbitrarily arrest our people unless there is concrete evidence that they have violated your domestic laws, and not without our agreement for the arrest.”

A negotiator from Japan asked, “Do our law enforcement officers have to inform you before they can make an arrest? In that case, wouldn't your people on Dream Island effectively have extraterritorial rights on our territory?”

Yan Fei responded, “I personally have no inclination to protect wrongdoers among my people, and I also detest criminals among them. So once you have confirmed their wrongdoing and provided sufficient evidence, we will not obstruct your enforcement of the law, nor will we extradite them back. Thus, they will not enjoy extraterritorial rights. What we seek is fairness and justice, and we will not abuse this privilege to cause chaos; you can be completely reassured of that.”

The negotiator from Canada asked, “What if they are deemed to have committed a crime by another country that demands their arrest and their extradition to that country?”

Yan Fei said coldly, “Absolutely not. If your country treats our personnel in such a manner, then all the agreements we have reached will be nullified, and your homeland will face scorched earth.”

Yan Fei knew all too well the tricks these countries played with each other, fabricating charges to notify other countries to arrest and extradite individuals. It was a common ploy among powerful nations, which is why Yan Fei had made his position clear in advance to prevent any loopholes being exploited.

The negotiators from the three countries exchanged glances and then stated, “We have no objections to this clause either.”

Yan Fei continued, “As long as you don't act recklessly, we will abide by the agreement, and our personnel will also comply with your laws and regulations while in your countries.”

Then Yan Fei said, “The fourth condition is that your three countries must not unjustly slander Dream Island or Dream Technology within your own nations. Even if you discover any issues with our company, you must contact us directly and not unilaterally release evidence that could be detrimental to Dream Island.”

“Furthermore, you must strictly control the media journalists within your country. Any reports that are unfavorable to Dream Island must be backed by concrete evidence. Should anyone carelessly publish false information against Dream Island, you must severely punish them, and such punishment must meet the standards of Dream Island and compensate for our economic losses.”

Yan Fei's fourth condition was to completely eliminate the possibility of these three countries smearing Dream Island at the national level. As long as they did not smear Dream Island from an official standpoint, civilian efforts were unlikely to cast Dream Island in a bad light, allowing the products from Dream Island to circulate freely in these three countries.
