Tielin believed it was clear Rutger had clearly put a lot of thought into his offer and in most cases a nation would probably jump to accept, this situation though was not one that was a normal diplomatic conversation. "Your offer meets all my requirements in terms of energy production. This project though was never just about electricity, it was about showing my people that we can stand toe to toe with the modern world and achieve what nations we've seen do incredible things can. If I let you build it, operate it, profit from it then I may as well have taken the Rokkenjiman offer, joined the MAEA and been viewed as a puppet. I want this project to be funded by us, most of the work done by us. I therefore propose that you permit us to buy parts from you that we assemble, under supervision of experts from your nation. I do though agree we would require instruction and supervision in the early operation. As such I will give AES 15% of the profits the site make in return for them providing supervision and training for 10 years. After that period it shall drop to 5%, and then two years later 0%. They will not be taxed on their income. Lijiang shall meet the whole cost of the project, I believe $7.5billion for the size you suggest would be fair from my readings, however remember that sum includes acquiring the nuclear materials, something we already have. I suspect many will call this a vanity project but it is one our nation needs."
