After finally figuring out how the system works correctly, Chen Nian felt extremely comfortable.

Of course, this does not mean that he does not have to think about learning in the future, on the contrary, it puts forward higher requirements for the depth of his learning.

Only when you have reached a sufficient level can you select the most important nodes in key projects, and use these nodes to form fission reactions, make the technology explode with the highest efficiency, and then give back to your source.

The source points obtained in this way are the real rewards, and the source points obtained in learning should be said to be a kind of salary.

Very user-friendly system.

I don't know where it is better than those capitalists.

Chen Nian sighed secretly, and walked all the way back to his residence.

And now he has a clear goal.

The analysis of the hot isostatic press must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and even find a way to promote localization.

Because only self-research can generate new knowledge and form knowledge increment.

From this point of view, I chose to stop the introduction of AL-31FN, and I made the right choice.

At the same time, when Chen Nian was thinking about how to realize the localization of hot isostatic pressing equipment, in the QUINTUS headquarters in Sweden, two men in suits and leather shoes were sitting opposite each other, drinking coffee in a leisurely manner.

Watkins, I suppose it's been a long time since we've seen each other?

Yeah, Jack. We haven't seen each other for nearly 30 years since the year we graduated. Is Ms. Wensi okay?

It's not bad. I heard that she had a heart problem last year. I went to see her. But generally speaking, for an eighty-year-old, her body is pretty good.

Watkins nodded and said with emotion:

I really miss the wine at Miss Wins's house. I still remember her favorite song, summer wine, Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring. Isn't that her wine?

If you put it this way, maybe we should have a few drinks tonight.

Jack replied with a smile.

I don't have summer wine here. The wine here is the same as the climate, cold and hard.

Well, too much chatter.

How about it, what is your company's plan?

As soon as these words were spoken, Jack's expression changed immediately.

A second ago, he was still a gentle middle-aged man catching up with old friends, but this second, he turned back into the number one sales representative of the DSI company, exuding a resolute and irresistible aura.

We're not going to sell them equipment — and we're not going to say no too clearly, of course.

We will use harsh conditions to make them retreat.

After all, as you know, the relationship between our two countries is fairly friendly. Now the Soviet Union—no, Russia is the biggest enemy.

Watkins hummed and said in agreement:

Even I can feel this. Since the Soviet Union was gone, the Russians have become more and more annoying. On the contrary, the Chinese are very comfortable doing business with them.

The price is perfect, there are few things to do, and the follow-up maintenance fee can make a lot of money.

Jack heard the implication of Watkins' words, mentioned the matter of making money in such a conversation, and also showed his kindness to Huaxia. There is no doubt that this is to negotiate terms with himself.

So, he didn't hide it, but said bluntly:

Watkins, I understand what you mean.

In this world, it is natural for businessmen like us to live for profit, but the problem is that we should pursue longer-term interests.

They placed a large purchase order this time, a total of 20 units, but have you ever thought that if you sell these equipment to them, it is very likely that this will be the last time that your QUINTUS will export heat isostatic equipment to China. Is the press on?

Watkins frowned, and asked:

How do you judge this? According to our company's internal forecast, with the current technical level of the Huaxia people, it is impossible for them to imitate the hot isostatic press in a short period of time.

The two technologies of high-voltage module and hydraulic module alone are enough to nail them for years.

Twenty years? You underestimate them.

Jack smiled mockingly, and continued:

Huaxia people can always do things that surprise you. Going back 10 years, they are even nervous about using electricity, but now?

Do not despise your opponent, my friend.

After listening to Jack's words, Watkins fell silent.

After a while, he asked again:

You don't want to sell the hot isostatic press, are you afraid that they will seize this market? In fact, what you are really worried about is everything about fighter jets and the interests on the sea.

certainly.

Jack replied unabashedly.

But you are businessmen after all, and DSI is a company that needs to make money after all.

Someone will make it up to us, just as we will make it up to you.

At times like this, our two families need to unite, let go of our rivalry, and face our enemies together.

Watkins smiled and said:

For us, Chinese people are not necessarily enemies

Ten million dollars, plus two technology exchange summits.

Jack threw out his own price tag, and this price tag, no matter where it is placed, can be said to be extremely attractive.

But Watkins still did not let go.

Too little. This time, China's import demand is 20 machines. For the price of one machine, plus follow-up maintenance and technical support work, we can earn at least 20 million US dollars.

But the $40 million needs to be spread over the next ten years—you know what discounting is, right?

Without hesitation, Jack interrupted Watkins, who was silent for a moment, and finally said:

15 million US dollars, other conditions remain unchanged.

make a deal!

Jack agreed decisively. In fact, the price hadn't touched his upper limit at all.

Watching his reaction, Watkins shook his head helplessly, and asked instead:

Do you really think that restricting the import of hot isostatic presses will stop the Chinese from making new planes?

Recently, I have heard a lot of rumors, which seem to be inconsistent with your judgments.

A secretive smile appeared on Jack's face, and he lowered his voice and said:

The hot isostatic press is just one piece of the puzzle, and that's why I'm here to talk to you.

Washington's will is strong and his goals are clear.

It's impossible for them to let the Chinese make that 'imaginary' plane, because that would have a major impact on Washington's plans.

Besides me, there are many people running around in every corner of the world.

And their purpose is actually the same as mine.

The noose has gradually tightened, and Huaxia's new project will be strangled in the cradle.

Yeah?

Watkins looked flat and perfunctory.

Looking at the smug man in front of him, a strange premonition rose in his heart.

Perhaps, Washington's actions will eventually become a farce, and he and his company will get a lot of money for nothing.

But is it possible?

Maybe.
