Chapter 1269
"Between Director Li and Deputy Director Nie..."

On the way to the meeting room, Gao Yaqin asked Li Xuewu softly.

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "It's a little complicated, but it won't be necessary for Nie Xiaoguang to use a knife."

"Oh——" Gao Yaqin nodded in understanding. She had understood what Li Xuewu meant. "Young man."

"Well, Director Li is still generous."

Li Xuewu replied, but didn't go into details. No matter how you explain this matter, it's not right and you have no position to speak of.

Therefore, it can only be understood but not expressed in words.

As for Nie Xiaoguang, Li Xuewu admired his courage and tenacity. At least in terms of revenge for his father, he had the passion of a young man.

But my starting point was wrong, and I didn't understand what he said, let alone what contradiction was involved.

Fortunately, Lao Li was smart enough to take advantage of the opportunity.

Those jokes the two people made on the phone just now were exactly about this. Don't really think that they believe in some metaphysical evil spirits, do you?

Nie Xiaoguang also came at a good time. At this moment, Old Li was in a very high position, as the popularity of the group had pushed him to too high a level.

If you lose your balance when you fall, you will never be able to recover.

So this was exactly the time when Lao Li wanted to take a step back, ease relations with his superiors, and cool down his own popularity due to the groupization of Red Star Factory, but he could not find a suitable reason or excuse.

This blow was not in vain. Not only did it allow Lao Li to perfectly avoid the landmine laid by Nie Chenglin, but it also earned him enough goodwill.

No matter what, Nie Chenglin was a senior cadre of the organization. He could train and study, but he was responsible for jumping off the train and committing suicide.

Now that Nie Chenglin's son has stabbed him, someone will surely investigate the right and wrong and make clear their questions, and then they will understand that it was not his wish.

On the other hand, he took the initiative to forgive Nie Xiaoguang and attributed all these things to the mistakes made by a young man in an impulsive manner.

What did Old Li mean by his advice to Li Xuewu?
Not only should they not punish Nie Xiaoguang, they should also do the opposite and demonstrate their tolerance and magnanimity, for both their superiors and those below to see.

He also needs to do this for the comrades in the system who envy, hate and hate him, so as to appease their hatred, because he is in the limelight.

So, one knife can bring so many benefits.

I'm sure Old Li thought of this when he was stabbed. When he found out it was nothing serious, he must have been secretly happy.

Even if it's just a little skin breakage this time, he will have to recuperate for a week or half a month so that he can openly avoid the rumors and attacks.

Now, there is a big cut on his stomach. Who can still doubt him? I heard that there is a large pool of blood, it must be true.

Not only have the open and covert attacks disappeared, the old wounds and hidden dangers disappeared, the criticism from above and the heated discussions from below have disappeared, and the leaders and the masses still have to come to see him.

At the very least, Director Han of the General Office of the First Ministry of Machine Building should come to see him, and Nie Xiaoguang's mother or brother should also come to thank him.

Li Xuewu didn't consider anyone else but Nie Chenglin.

He dared to bet that even when Nie Chenglin died, he never thought that his son would be so reckless and easily waste the mine he had laid for Lao Li with his life, and the blessed fortune he left for his son at the cost of his life.

If Nie Xiaoguang had not been so impulsive, and the situation had changed in the future, the organization would sooner or later have dug up Lao Li's old accounts and investigated the Nie Chenglin incident.

Even if you don’t die, you will be skinned alive!
As for Nie Xiaoguang, if he accepts the offer and joins the factory, and lives a comfortable life, Li Huaide will ensure that he will have a worry-free and trouble-free life.

Even if he didn't work in the factory, this blessing would sooner or later fall on him or someone in his family. At least Kuang Yusheng still remembered the kindness of Director Nie in promoting him.

Nie Xiaoguang’s brother and mother may not be able to see this, or even if they do, they can do nothing about it, so they choose to avoid the spotlight and stay away from their hometown.

Not giving Li Huaide a chance to make compensation would be tantamount to continuing and preserving the disaster that Nie Chenglin had planted at the cost of his death.

They would never have thought that Nie Xiaoguang would be so stupid.

Now Nie Xiaoguang has only one way, that is to express his gratitude to Li Huaide. Maybe he will even shed tears of gratitude.

He had no choice but to go to the factory to work. As long as he was in the factory, Li Huaide's good reputation would be spread.

Li Huaide also conveyed this message to Li Xuewu, you are the one who saved the person, so it is up to you to make the arrangements next.

How to arrange?

Li Xuewu really wanted to slap Nie Xiaoguang a few times, but he didn't know where to start.

After all, you can't hit someone who doesn't know he's wrong, and you can't reason with a fool.

That's why he said he didn't contact the security department, and he wanted to expose Nie Xiaoguang to the public so that he could calm down and reflect on himself.

He had to erect this arch of honor for Old Li, had to arrange for Nie Xiaoguang, and also had to tie up this stubborn donkey.

If there is another time, Nie Xiaoguang may not be so lucky, and Lao Li will not show mercy.

In this world, people don't always kill with a knife.
-

"Let's not exchange pleasantries, shall we?"

Li Xuewu was wearing a jacket with his shirt open, and a white shirt underneath. He looked clean and capable, and more mature and stable than he had in the afternoon.

Chantal shook his hand and said, "Are you worried?"

"Hahaha--"

Hearing her words, everyone on both sides laughed.

"I'm afraid you'll be worried!"

Li Xuewu is a man of few words, especially at the negotiation table, where he will fight for every inch of ground and will not tolerate any loss even from a single word.

The negotiations began the moment we entered the room.

There were flashes of swords and sabers, and the two sides were fighting back and forth, wishing they could bite off a big piece of meat from the other side so as to gain more benefits for their own company.

"What's the point of being anxious?" Chantal said as she sat down. "No matter how anxious you are, you have to sit down and talk slowly."

"Haha, President Chantal is right," Gao Yaqin sat opposite her and said with a smile, "Friends should talk slowly if they have anything to say—"

"I heard that you used to work in the foreign trade system?" Chantal looked her over and said, "I have to say that your organization has a natural advantage. At least in terms of human resources, Red Star Factory will never lack excellent talents."

"In fact, every family has its own problems," Gao Yaqin said frankly, "We are very short of management cadres and professional and technical personnel."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a systematic mechanism for cultivating talents from kindergarten to university."

"Well, that surprised me."

Chantal nodded, looked in the direction of Li Xuewu who had just sat down and asked, "Does the university established by Red Star Factory have an architecture department?"

"Not this year," Li Xuewu said frankly. "Due to budget and business needs, the Department of Architectural Engineering was not established in the first year of school."

“But I would say, maybe next year there will be one.”

He smiled and tapped the table with the pencil in his hand, and added: "It depends on the results of today's negotiations, if everything goes well."

"Hehehe——"

Inside the meeting room, translators quickly translated what the leaders said at the negotiation table into the corresponding language, and these greetings also helped them adapt and adjust.

Li Xuewu's confident answer made the atmosphere much more relaxed, and the negotiations began in this relatively relaxed state.

Chantal flipped through the documents naturally, looked in the direction of Gao Yaqin, Li Xuewu and Dong Wenxue and said, "I think we can have a frank talk."

"Instead of wasting time on haggling over small details, we should look forward to more development opportunities in the future," she paused and continued, "We both firmly believe that the other is a rare partner that cannot be abandoned."

"We have the same ideals and goals, and we have the same purpose to fight for, so we should be more proactive in negotiations."

Gao Yaqin and Li Xuewu looked at each other, and Dong Wenxue also looked over. After the three of them exchanged glances, they all understood what the other meant.

Li Xuewu and others understood Chantal's speech. It was nothing more than one day's inspection that broke down the other party's psychological defenses, and they had no more cards left.

After revealing the limited cards he had, he actually thought about going all-in with the Red Star Factory.

CNC machine tool technology, non-ferrous metal metallurgy technology, helicopter manufacturing technology, welding rods, marine crankshaft heat treatment technology...

Red Star Factory has more or less mastered almost all the technical processes that the Santaya Group can provide, or already possesses some of the technologies.

It really proves the old saying that only when you have it, will the other party really give it to you!
In fact, just like the last cooperation, the technical support provided by Santaya Group is within the scope of existing technology and is particularly cautious and trivial.

They provide next-generation technology that Red Star Factory does not have, which is at least one era behind. As for the technology that Red Star Factory already has, they will provide targeted technical support and will not give it all to you all at once.

This is also why, even though both parties had signed a contract for the manufacturing process of the cargo ship, the Red Star Factory still went to the Jiangnan Factory to learn from it.

Because the engineers of Santaya Group were not fully taught, they didn't even expect that Red Star Factory could deliver the giant ship on time.

It’s always like this when cooperating with foreign companies.

Old Li also expressed similar sentiments, saying that these stingy Europeans were not as open-minded as the kids next door whom he hated so much.

From the very beginning, Li Xuewu never thought about seriously cooperating with Sanhe Corporation, including the electronics industry, hardware industry, etc.

On the one hand, it is cautiously acquiring technology, on the other hand, it is guarding against the strategies and calculations of the little devil, and at the same time it has to plan the Northeast Asian economic circle.

However, so far, Sanhe Corporation has only been cautious in transferring the new generation of technology, and has not made any other plans.

On the other hand, although the cooperation between the two parties of the Santaya Group is larger in scope and closer in intensity, suspicion and tactics have never stopped.

Until now, he is still holding tightly onto the thing in his hand, which makes me feel stingy and awkward just by looking at him.

After listening to the translator's narration, Dong Wenxue glanced at Gao Yaqin but did not speak.

Gao Yaqin also maintained a rather indifferent attitude and did not show the enthusiasm and confidence that she expected from Chantal.

"What kind of cooperation support do you hope Red Star Factory can provide? Or, what are the prospects for the future cooperation between the two sides?"

In the end, it was Li Xuewu who took the initiative to continue the negotiations.

Perhaps having sensed the attitudes of the two main leaders of the Red Star Factory, Chantal also became cautious.

"The first is to speed up the negotiation of cooperation in construction projects. The Santaya Group has the confidence and ability to work together with you to create brilliant achievements in construction-related businesses."

"The second is cooperation in non-ferrous metals and mineral resources. As an international trader, the Santaya Group has a broader business base..."

She explained it very clearly that in addition to the construction projects that had already been contacted and had a certain basis for cooperation, this time the mineral resources were standardized.

“Sentaya Group is willing to provide advanced metallurgical technology, continue to carry out in-depth cooperation with you, and actively promote the rapid development of related industries.”

"Finally, the Santaya Group hopes to carry out comprehensive technical and industrial cooperation with the Red Star Factory to build an emerging technology incubation industry chain..."

Dong Wenxue guessed it right. The Santaya Group was targeting the technology reserves of the Red Star Factory, which has a complete technology chain of metallurgy, steel rolling, heavy industrial production and light industrial production.

What does that mean?

It's very simple. The Santaya Group collects advanced production technology and development intelligence from all over the world, provides them to the Red Star Factory, and then shares the technological achievements.

In other words, the Santaya Group used the Red Star Factory as a reactor, constantly throwing various residues and waste into it, attempting to synthesize a new technology under specific conditions, or integrate it into a set of industrial technology.

Be it new technology or a complete set of industrial technology, these are not the basis of profitability; the basis is the supporting production machinery and equipment.

How many third countries in the world are crying out for this kind of package equipment and technology that can achieve industrialization.

Do you remember how these industrial technologies in the mainland came about?
Yes, we tightened our belts and let countless people starve to death in exchange for the free aid that the Russians had promised.

Just tell me whether these technologies are worth the money.

Now the Santaya Group wants to use newer technologies and more advanced technical theories to support the rapid iteration and update of the Red Star Factory so that it can fully develop and become a laying hen, and continuously develop and produce a complete set of technologies that can hatch chicks.

Of course, you can't say that they are getting something for nothing, nor can you say that they have been planning this for a long time and are taking advantage of you and are bullying you because you are incompetent.

All I can say is that business cooperation is like pimping, it requires mutual consent.

"CNC technology, metallurgical technology, aircraft manufacturing, shipbuilding..." Li Xuewu flipped through the memorandum he had just received, summarized the technical dependencies the other party had just mentioned, and continued, "In the hope of obtaining the mainland's construction market, mineral resources, and industrial technology resources."

He raised his head, glanced at Gao Yaqin and Dong Wenxue, smiled slightly and said, "It seems that we really have something to talk about today."

"It's okay, let's negotiate."

Chantal raised her hand and gestured over here, saying, "You can also propose the content of the cooperation you expect, and we will discuss and study it together."

"In fact, today during the day, the Secretary-General and I accompanied you to visit the development of the relevant industrial sectors and we have already put forward our views," Gao Yaqin said after a light cough, "We will not refuse technical cooperation."

"But as you just said, we should be open and honest, based on fairness, rationality, mutual benefit and win-win, rather than being cautious and using technical cooperation as a means of coercion and temptation."

She said sharply: "It is precisely because we have expectations for this cooperation that we will cooperate with the Santaya Group to sit at the negotiation table."

"You should know that we put aside our ongoing inspection activities and organized this negotiation meeting with special care."

Gao Yaqin spoke at a moderate pace, with clear enunciations. Her tone was not serious, but respectable enough.

"I still hope that you can honor your promise and come up with sincere negotiation conditions that are acceptable to both of us."

She gestured to the two people beside her and said, "We sincerely hope that the friendly, mutually supportive and healthy cooperative relationship between the two companies can continue."

After signaling to the translator that "that's it", Gao Yaqin ended her speech and reminded Chantal that her suggestion was not sincere enough.

Obviously, after listening to the translator's translation, there was a slight discussion among the negotiating representatives of the Santaya Group.

If you have the skills, you will be strong.

The Red Star Factory was quite stubborn and tough. After expressing dissatisfaction with the technical cooperation proposal put forward by the Santaya Group, it also expressed disdain for the demands put forward by the Group.

After a day of inspection and visits, Chantal had guessed that Red Star Factory would not be too enthusiastic about the technical cooperation she proposed. This was something she had not expected. Although she was surprised, she remained calm.

At this moment, she ignored the commotion of her own negotiating representatives and took the initiative to ask, "I don't understand your request for cooperation."

She looked around at the three people, then fixed her sight on Li Xuewu and said, "I should have made it very clear. If you have any intentions for cooperation or requests, you can bring them up and discuss and study with each other."

"I understand what you mean, and I think you should also understand what Deputy Director Gao means."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to answer the other party and responded: "Regarding the cooperation matters you proposed, we have no intention of cooperating at all."

He was really ruthless. He flipped the table and said bluntly: "Regarding construction cooperation, mineral resources and industrial technology, we have consulted with the leaders and have given you a clear answer, that is, we can talk."

"Now is not the time for us to propose our willingness to cooperate, but for you to provide the negotiation conditions that are fair, reasonable, mutually beneficial and win-win, so that we can fully consider and judge whether you have enough sincerity to respond to our negotiation and cooperation arrangement."

"Thank you, that's all."

Li Xuewu made his explanation directly in French, further and clearly conveying the intention of the supervisor to the negotiating opponent.

There are some things that Gao Yaqin is not comfortable saying too clearly, but Li Xuewu must show the necessary tough attitude.

Even when explaining relevant viewpoints, it is more convenient to use French in order to master the rhythm and respond quickly to the other party's questions.

Obviously, Chantal was fully aware of his aggressiveness, and this was not the first time the two sides had clashed at the negotiating table.

She also knew that Li Xuewu was the most difficult obstacle to overcome in this negotiation. It was almost universally acknowledged that all foreign businessmen believed that he was the first person in charge of the Red Star Factory's foreign trade negotiations.

Therefore, the negotiations only became intense at this point. What happened before was just appetizers and minor skirmishes.

Chantal certainly cannot fall into the negotiation rhythm given by Li Xuewu. She must fight back. The strategy of retreating to advance is a good one.

"Then, based on this as the basis for negotiation, what kind of technical cooperation do you expect to obtain that is in line with the basic principle of fairness, rationality, mutual benefit and win-win?"

"You mean we should propose the negotiation terms?"

Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and said, "This doesn't seem to be in line with the negotiation procedure. If I talk too much, will you think I am deliberately obstructing the negotiation?"

When Chantal heard him say that, her heart skipped a beat, and then she leaned back slightly with confidence, sitting back in her chair and watching him praise her.

What Li Xuewu said might not be true. They were just testing each other's bottom line. Just because she gave up the right to speak, it didn't mean she had nothing to say.

"You should know that the Red Star Factory has obtained the qualification to form a group industry," Li Xuewu said, "which means that there is no need for our factory to expand into new industrial fields at present."

“Instead, we should reorganize and organize the existing industrial production technology, deepen and carefully polish it, and integrate and create a technology system that is in line with the group’s development context.”

He knocked on the table and said, "We all know that biting off more than you can chew is a good thing. If you can't give us what we need, it means that our need for technology is not as urgent and impatient as you think."

"Unless you can give us the best CNC technology currently available in Western Europe, come visit the Red Star Factory again in three years and I will definitely let you see the CNC machine tool production equipment cluster."

Li Xuewu said very seriously and confidently: "Including non-ferrous metallurgy technology, since we can determine that the slag contains these industrial vitamins, we have the confidence and ability to extract them, it's just a matter of time."

"In the fields of aircraft manufacturing, shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing and other industrial production, while the Red Star Factory already has complete production lines, I am not sure how much the technology you provide can help us improve actual productivity."

He said with certainty: "Looking back at the price we need to pay, a business cooperation document that can be provided to senior partners is the most valuable asset. Today we must be responsible for the Red Star Factory in ten years."

Inside the meeting hall, translators were translating Li Xuewu's words, mainly for the leaders and representatives of the Red Star Factory.

Maggie Roman and Zhou Gancheng, who were sitting in the audience, maintained the necessary silence and attention.

The second in-depth cooperation between Red Star Factory and Santaya Group is not only a focus of attention at the foreign affairs level, but also a testing ground in the field of economic cooperation.

The top leaders of both sides tacitly maintained due restraint in the cooperation between the two enterprises and took the initiative to provide a more relaxed environment for cooperation and development.

In other words, the British don't know the ropes. If they really come to negotiate, we will open up more conditions for related economic and trade cooperation.

After all, I was in the wrong because of what happened in November last year.

"So, what do you want?"

Chantal has a comprehensive understanding of the Red Star Factory and an even more comprehensive understanding of Li Xuewu, and vice versa.

This is the convenience and inconvenience of having acquaintances sit at the negotiating table.

No one in the entire Red Star Factory knows more about the situation of the Santaya Group than Li Xuewu, including its president and the complex relationships behind it.

The fundamental reason why Chantal can firmly control the international trading group is that this company is not just a commercial enterprise.

Call it white gloves or a combination of interest output, that's what it is.

Li Xuewu, on behalf of the Red Star Factory, rejected her proposals and was determined to ask for a huge sum of money.

Sure enough, after the preparation, when she asked directly, Li Xuewu pushed a document over to her.

“These are the mineral resources that Red Star Factory can control and the partners it has already contacted.”

"This is the Red Star Factory's industrial regional and technological level development plan. We have never had any illusions about the advanced industrial production technology of the West."

He pushed the technical documents prepared for the negotiation to the middle of the conference table and said, "I also hope that you will not harbor illusions of monopoly. There is no technology in this world that can be monopolized by us."

"If you want to continue this negotiation in the form you expect, then according to the technical level development plan I provided, we will calculate and deduce whether we will agree to the relevant cooperation conditions you provide based on scientific research breakthroughs and the years of production realization."

"Of course, if you are willing to add more bargaining chips, such as the production technology of the Jaguar helicopter, we will also fully consider it..."

Wait, something extraordinary seems to have been mixed in here.

Chantal was looking through the technical information and related hierarchical planning provided by Li Xuewu with her representatives, and suddenly raised her head.

"Are you serious?" She confirmed seriously, "I don't know how you know about the Jaguar helicopter, but I'm sure it hasn't been fully mass-produced yet. You want me to put it on the negotiation table?"

"We started research and development in January 1963, and the first flight took place in April 1965. By now, we should have completed the production parameters and process flow design, right?"

Li Xuewu casually stated the exact development time of this helicopter, even down to the exact month, which shocked the French people on the opposite side.

Code! There is a problem with confidentiality!
Although Aerospace Industries had no direct relationship with them, and the British Westland Company that joined later had even less relationship with them.

But! The person on the other side could actually accurately call out the R&D time and estimate the approximate production and industrial design time. This is terrible.

Chantal was also a little dazed. Are we going off the topic?

“Your factory has just acquired the ability to produce helicopters,” she reminded Li Xuewu, “but it’s just a small helicopter from the 40s.”

"I'm pretty sure it was a helicopter."

The point that Li Xuewu emphasized seemed to be different from what she said, but his attitude was very clear, that is, he wanted the twin-engine helicopter that France had just developed.

If you say that the helicopter production line that the Red Star Factory is currently planning to build can produce small helicopters that meet the needs of reconnaissance and rescue, etc.

What Li Xuewu specifically requested now was a medium-sized multi-purpose transport helicopter capable of carrying ground-to-air strike capabilities.

Do you know what multi-purpose means?

It means that it can be modified by martial arts or magic.

"How about Skylark III?"

Chantal was really anxious. She couldn't waste her time on endless negotiations, so she came here with the purpose of achieving quick results.

If she could quickly complete a deep cooperation agreement with the Red Star Factory, she would be able to shift her focus completely back to China, which would take her at least a year.

Of course, if she marries a 60-year-old man, she is coveting his property and betting that he won't live longer than her. Do you really think she likes old men?
As long as she can stabilize the Red Star Factory, she will have the confidence to develop on both fronts and place more industrial development capabilities in the mainland in the hope of gaining greater benefits.

At the same time, by dividing the resources within the enterprise into two baskets, once problems arise in the domestic business, the whole enterprise will not be wiped out.

The last time her husband abandoned her at the Red Star International Hotel, she felt a deep sense of crisis. This time, problems with her husband's work further deepened her sense of crisis about crisis prevention and handling.

Therefore, even if it means paying a little more, she hopes to save time, finish her trip in the mainland as soon as possible, return to France, and deal with the mess there.

The Skylark III is also a helicopter, a light, single-engine, seven-seat multi-purpose helicopter produced by Aerospace Corporation.

However, this aircraft was a bit early, with its first flight in 59.

Of course, it is larger than the KH-4 that the Red Star Factory is about to mass-produce, but not much larger. It is also a single-engine helicopter capable of carrying weapons.

Moreover, last year the mainland purchased 15 aircraft from France, 10 for the Air Force and 5 for civilian use. Don't ask who the civilian ones were used for.

The military uses of Skylarks include aerial observation, photography, sea and air rescue, liaison, transportation, training, etc.

This thing can also be equipped with anti-tank missiles, anti-ship torpedoes and other combat missions.

How should I put it? It is definitely better than the KH-4, but not as good as the Jaguar, or even as good as the Gazelle. I won't explain what the Gazelle is here, it is also a single-engine missile.

“I still like the jaguar.”

Li Xuewu was quite stubborn and even produced a relevant economic and industrial comparison report.

"Jaguar can benchmark mining cooperation."

He nodded seriously and said, "You should know the important position of non-ferrous metals in the international market. We know it too."

"But you don't have the relevant metallurgical technology," Chantal reminded in a serious tone, "Even if you get the relevant technology, you can't exchange these mineral resources for the production technology of Jaguar."

"So we have to discuss cooperation with the Santaya Group."

Li Xuewu's words can make people angry to death, and now he still has the point, "Talk about Jaguar, and talk about technical cooperation and development of non-ferrous metal metallurgical projects."

"We only want jaguars. I didn't even ask you for bobcats."

"Bobcat? You really dare to think so."

Chantal was so angry that she laughed. "How about I help you talk to Westland and ask them if they are willing to sell the Bobcat?"

"I don't think Westland Company needs your help in making an introduction," Li Xuewu smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "The research on mountain cats is too slow, and there is no good news yet. Let's wait a little longer."

The atmosphere suddenly tensed, and the Santaya Group's negotiators all raised their heads and looked over, their eyes looking as if they had seen a ghost.

They just guessed that the aerospace industry’s confidentiality was not good enough and the secrets were leaked, but now they didn’t expect that Westland had also leaked the secrets?

Chantal gritted her teeth and stared into Li Xuewu's eyes, hoping to get some truth from him so as to determine whether his source of information was true or false.

Do you think she wouldn't suspect that Li Xuewu was cheating her?

But, how can I still have doubts now?

It has been more than a year since the aerospace company's first flight, so the news may have leaked. This is understandable. As far as Bobcat knows, there is really no news!

"Let's just use Skylark III. Your current production line can produce it."

Chantal said seriously, as if she was doing this for your own good and considering you, "Your transportation conditions are insufficient, so I will give your company a Mystère 20E business jet as a gift."

She said generously: "This way, it will take less than four hours to fly from Beijing to Steel City."

"The Falcon 20E business jet can accommodate 10 passengers, has a cruising speed of Mach 0.8, and a range of 1000 to 1500 kilometers," the engineer of the Santaya Group explained, fearing that Li Xuewu didn't understand the business, and said, "The price is no less than 20 US dollars."

I need you to tell me?
Obviously you understand!
"How long does it take to fly from the capital to here by Cougar?"

Li Xuewu turned around and asked this question as if he was teasing him on purpose. Then he looked at Chantal and said, "If you want to talk about this business jet and Skylark, then we can only talk about cooperation related to construction projects."

He turned to Gao Yaqin and asked with a smile: "Do you like business jets?"

"Sorry, I'm airsick."

Gao Yaqin answered Li Xuewu's question humorously. She did not mention that she had no experience of riding on a business jet, nor did she follow Li Xuewu's words to refute the other party.

Some people may think that Li Xuewu is crazy, as he is like a dog, holding on to other people's new models and insisting on using a small horse to pull a big cart.

In fact, this is not the case. Even if there is no cooperation with Red Star Factory now, the several models he mentioned will be introduced to the mainland in the future.

Including models such as the Gazelle, Squirrel, Dolphin, Super Puma and Super Hornet.

It can be said that the development of helicopters in the mainland has followed the French. You can tell from the appearance of the aircraft that it has a bit of baguette flavor.

Why did Li Xuewu plot against the Jaguar?
Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The relationship between France and the mainland has been very good in recent years, but it became bad after a few years. It was good again after a few years, and then bad again after a few years. Anyway, it has been constantly changing.

The good years were really damn good. Any technology could be sold, any cooperation could be discussed, and any economic transactions could be carried out.

But every time things go wrong, all economic and trade issues will cool down, and technological cooperation will also be cut off. It's a very strange relationship.

While the relationship is quite good now, France is well-known in Western Europe as the anti-America leader and is not stingy with its technology exports to us.

Throughout history, in fact, a considerable portion of core technologies were traded from others. Although due to various relationships, the other party behaved like a bitch, being fickle and turning their backs on you, but in the end - right.

Seeing Li Xuewu's disdain for Skylark and Falcon business jets, Chantal's back teeth were about to break.

You can't talk about culture with a bastard and a gangster, because he has no idea what you are talking about or whether it has any practical value.

"Even if I gave it to Jaguar, you wouldn't be able to make it," she still patiently emphasized, "The uneven level of your industrial level simply can't support you to complete such a high level of industrial production. This is determined by the comprehensive strength of your industry."

"Then let's change our thinking," Li Xuewu tapped the table with his fingers, looked at her and said, "We don't care how you operate, but we are willing to cooperate with you to jointly build a production line and operate this project together. How about that?"

If you can't beat them, cooperate with them. If you can't get what you want, just pee on them. That's probably the routine.

Even though Chinese people value moderation, Li Xuewu is unwilling to move toward moderation. Instead, he makes concessions in cooperation and continues to bind the Santaya Group.

"Can we discuss the joint development of mineral resources?"

Chantal seemed to be interested. She looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "If, I mean, if we jointly set up the Jaguar production line, are you willing to develop non-ferrous metal smelting technology and the development and application of related mineral resources?"

In response to Chantal's question, Li Xuewu looked at Gao Yaqin and Dong Wenxue, and the two of them also looked at him, and the three of them looked at each other.

Without any verbal discussion, they understood each other's intentions and opinions with just a glance.

"Yes, as long as you have completed the preparation of relevant technologies and production equipment, the corresponding negotiations can begin immediately."

Gao Yaqin, as the negotiating representative, made a confirmatory statement.

Li Xuewu added: "What I just said also counts."

Seeing Chantal looking over, he emphasized: "Skylark and Falcon business jets, as well as the corresponding CNC technology, aircraft manufacturing technology, etc."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "As long as you can confirm the relevant technology and equipment, we can start negotiations on engineering construction."

"You weren't just..." Chantal really wanted to spit at him for being shameless. Who was it that showed disdain towards Skylark and the business jet just now!

"Oh, you mean just now——"

Li Xuewu said nonchalantly, "Deputy Director Gao is prone to airsickness, but our Director Li is not. He may prefer business jets."

France's CNC technology, aircraft manufacturing, shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing, etc., although Red Star Factory has the potential for substitution and independent research and development.

But time is money!

If we can use trade or foreign affairs means and conveniences to acquire relevant technologies and directly shorten the R&D time, we can save a lot of money.

Another thing is that the faster production can be achieved and the faster technology can be mastered and accumulated, the faster Red Star Factory can achieve technological advantages.

"You see, our negotiations were fruitful."

Li Xuewu smiled and spread his hands, saying, "We have found the corresponding negotiation conditions for the construction projects and mineral resources you expect."

“What about technology and industry cooperation?”

Chantal knocked on the table, stared into Li Xuewu's eyes and asked, "I promise to cooperate in accordance with your wishes, abide by relevant policies, and strictly follow trade rules. How about that?"

"On this basis, I'll say one thing for you to consider."

Li Xuewu sat up straight, looked at her and said, "Red Star United Savings Bank and Oriental Times Bank are preparing to cooperate in acquiring iron ore in Australia..."

This is his doctrine of the mean.

PS: When Australia first started exporting iron ore in 1960, the first shipment was to Japan. Since the 60s, Japanese steel companies have quietly bought Australian and Brazilian assets through trade consortiums such as Mitsui & Co., Mitsubishi Corporation, and Itochu Corporation.
