Chapter 3294 Why are we always the ones who get hurt?
As Yang Xiaotao and Li Rong shook hands, everyone understood that the joint venture to build a factory in Japan was a done deal.
The meeting then proceeded with a discussion between Yang Xiaotao and Li Rong, during which Uncle and Old Chen also participated in analyzing the pros and cons.
As for those behind the round table, they could only listen.
Just by listening to a few people talk, one can understand the significance behind the construction of this factory, which has important guiding significance for future work.
"Alright, let's proceed as we discussed."
Finally, Qing Lao stood up and ended the meeting.
Everyone left immediately, but Yang Xiaotao remained seated and showed no intention of leaving.
Seeing this, Uncle Chen and the others did not move. The others knew that there were still things to discuss, so they quickly left the meeting room.
After everyone else left, Yang Xiaotao said again, "Actually, there's a third benefit."
After leaving the West Garden, Yang Xiaotao got into the car briskly and then found Li Hongfeng and the others waiting in the car.
"It's done."
Yang Xiaotao sat in the passenger seat and spoke happily.
Xu Yuanshan immediately started the car, but shook his head and complained, "Now that it's done, we'll be busy again."
The three men burst into laughter upon hearing this, but Old Hong said, "Does that mean you're not busy if there's no such thing?"
Li Hongfeng said in a serious tone, "That's right. Anyway, the three of us are already very busy, so we don't have to worry about having too many lice."
Each of the three spoke at once, and Yang Xiaotao turned to look at them, saying, "Why do I feel like you guys are talking about me?"
The three exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter.
In the courtyard behind.
Old Qing, Uncle, Boss Peng, and Old Chen sat together, and Tang Mingyue poured tea for them and then stood aside.
"This third benefit, haha, is unexpected."
Old Chen spoke first, then picked up his teacup to sip his tea, making a couple of clicking sounds as he did so.
I don't know if it was because the tea was delicious or because I was thinking of something happy.
"Lithography machine, I've heard of that."
Suddenly, President Peng spoke, his voice loud and clear, which was convincing.
"Old Peng, have you heard of this thing?"
The uncle was somewhat surprised; it was the first time he had ever heard of this thing, and he had no idea that President Peng knew about it.
General Peng smiled and said, "It's nothing special. It's just that the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry was working on a new missile guidance system a while ago, and I heard that they needed this when I went to inspect it."
"At the time, I did some research and thought that the development of lithography machines in China was not bad, at least it could support the domestic research needs."
"But after hearing what Yang Xiaotao said today, I realized that there is still a long way to go."
After Mr. Peng finished speaking, Mr. Chen smiled and said, "So, if you want to develop, you must first recognize the gap between each other."
"If you don't even know where the gap is, there's no point in trying to catch up."
After listening, President Peng glanced at Old Chen and said, "Yes, yes, you're right about everything."
"Now you're getting all excited, why didn't you say anything at the beginning?"
"Don't tell me you already knew."
Old Chen was speechless after being rebuked by Boss Peng, but he still showed no sign of admitting defeat. "Oh dear, there are a lot of things to do this year. We need to think carefully about the fiscal expenditure."
"Is your education system still short of funds?"
As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at her uncle.
When Uncle Chen looked over at the old man Chen, the old man who was watching the play with Qing Lao quickly put down his teacup and said, "Education is a matter of great importance to the country. The more we invest in it, the better it will be for the development of education."
"So, naturally, the more funds the better."
Upon hearing this, Old Chen immediately smiled and said, "No matter how poor we are, we can't be poor in education; no matter how hard life is, we can't let our children suffer."
"In that case, I can spare some of the money from the computer purchase in Singapore. You can see how much you're short and I'll make up the difference."
Old Chen spoke casually, with great enthusiasm.
"Oh my, our head butler is quite something today."
Uncle said happily, and Old Chen patted his pocket, "Of course, this is several hundred billion foreign exchange earnings. Taking some out to build a school for the children is a piece of cake."
As he spoke, he glanced at President Peng again.
Upon seeing this, both Qing Lao and his uncle laughed.
President Peng was speechless. "Old Chen," he said, "you, as the head steward, have to treat everyone fairly."
"Have you forgotten our camaraderie?"
"Old Chen, we've had drinks together before."
After much persuasion from General Peng, Old Chen reluctantly agreed to the subsequent purchase of ships and aircraft.
Anyway, the money will eventually come back into his pocket after going around in circles, so he has nothing to worry about.
"Alright, stop fooling around, let's talk about something serious."
Qing Lao suddenly interrupted the three of them, and after looking down, he said, "The West-East Gas Pipeline project is being done very well."
"But now that Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan are involved, we need to speed up the progress of this project."
"The league is about to make another big move, but the outcome is still uncertain."
"But what needs to be done must be done as soon as possible, and made a reality so that no one can say anything about it."
When Qing Lao said that, Chen Lao and his uncle both turned their attention to Peng Zong.
Peng then said, "The Alliance is about to start another moon landing."
After he finished speaking, the entire courtyard fell silent.
After a long while, Old Chen muttered, "This is a case of 'planting willows unintentionally and they grow into lush groves.'"
"It has a really strong aftereffect."
The three of them fell silent.
Who could have imagined that the space-based weapons developed back then, the Star Wars, would end up like this?
"Also, Britain is launching a satellite next month, and it's said that this guy took ten tungsten rods with him, each weighing a ton."
"It is said that this is currently the world's largest satellite."
As Mr. Peng spoke, he started laughing.
But after saying that, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Old Qing sighed, "The truth will eventually come out."
"My biggest worry right now is that it will all happen overnight."
"You all agree, right?"
The other three exchanged bewildered glances. If this were to be revealed as false, it would be a huge disaster for China's reputation.
It's possible that even countries with good relations could turn against each other.
After all, they were given real US dollars, while they were given a useless lump of iron.
Well, it's not entirely true to say it's useless, since this thing can still fool people.
Spending money to buy peace of mind—that's the goal.
If you calculate it that way, then the money is worth it.
Now it all comes down to the shelf life.
"Hopefully nothing untoward happens in Britain."
Old Chen muttered again, but this time President Peng didn't say anything more.
He also hoped that the British troublemakers would stop messing things up.
"Let's be prepared for any eventuality; we need to get this natural gas pipeline done as soon as possible."
Qing reminded him, and Chen nodded.
But after nodding, he struggled again when he was thinking about who to choose.
Originally, the nine-part series was my favorite. But now...
As Yang Xiaotao just mentioned, he will focus his attention on the upcoming factory construction on the Japanese island and the research and development of related equipment and instruments.
Moreover, there is still much for the Ninth Department to do.
For example, the development of new CNC machine tools was hampered before the development of the Jiaoyang 75. Now that computers have been developed, CNC machine tools naturally need to be put on the agenda.
Moreover, the research and development of CNC machine tools is a major event concerning the domestic manufacturing industry.
That's really impressive.
Then there's the upgrading of artillery reconnaissance radar, aircraft fire control radar, and communication facilities; all of these require Yang Xiaotao to be on-site to coordinate.
In addition, Yang Xiaotao also needed to make the final decision on matters related to communication satellites.
Sometimes he wondered if he could develop a technology to split Yang Xiaotao into several parts, with each part responsible for a specific area.
Unfortunately, there is only one Yang Xiaotao.
The three of them, Qing Lao and Chen Lao, were unaware of Chen Lao's ulterior motives. After checking the time, Qing Lao smiled and asked, "Have you been watching TV lately?"
Qing Lao brought up another topic, and the four of them started discussing it again.
The next day, Yang Xiaotao brought Li Rong to meet Dawson at the Grand Hotel.
Although the number of attendees was small, the results achieved were remarkable.
The three engaged in a heated debate in the conference room.
Finally, when Yang Xiaotao slammed his fist on the table and threatened to overturn it if he disagreed, Dawson backed down.
The three eventually reached a preliminary agreement.
First, Party A is Huaxia Red Star Group, and Party B is China Resources Group represented by Dawson.
Parties A and B formed a new company, Sanlian Group, to produce the Jiaoyang series of computers.
The company address and personnel management of both parties shall be the responsibility of Party B, while Party A shall be responsible for providing technical support and for the research and development of new technologies and product iteration. Party B shall not obstruct or refuse any of these matters for any reason.
Second, Party A will provide technical personnel to guide the production of the Jiaoyang series computers, and in return, Party A will receive half of the profits from the core components (including thirteen components such as the microprocessor).
Third, the company's employees' salaries shall be paid by Party B, and Party A shall not interfere with the transfer and arrangement of factory personnel, nor shall Party B interfere with Party A's audit of the group's finances.
Fourth, the sales areas of computers manufactured by Sanlian Group must not harm the Chinese market.

After working for a long time, the three of them finally came up with ten acceptable cooperation conditions.
Of course, Yang Xiaotao felt he had been taken advantage of in this situation.
After all, without its own technology, Dawson would find it difficult to even seek cooperation.
It's a matter of each getting what they need.
"Yang, Li, tonight we're going to celebrate the completion of our cooperation. How about we get together for a get-together?"
Dawson smiled, as if he could already see computers being produced on the Japanese islands and then quickly sold all over the world, bringing in huge sums of money.
“Hey, Mr. Dawson.”
Yang Xiaotao, however, looked serious and did not agree to participate in the party. Instead, he solemnly said, "There is an old Chinese saying: 'He who travels a hundred miles is only halfway there at ninety.'"
"It means that if you have to walk a hundred miles, and you have walked ninety miles, you can only be considered to have walked halfway."
"Many people feel that success is just around the corner, but they never succeed."
"so."
Looking at Dawson earnestly, Yang Xiaotao said, "What you need to do now is return to Japan as soon as possible and lay the foundation for our cooperation."
After hearing this, Dawson also showed a determined expression. "Yang, thank you for reminding me. I will rush back to Japan as soon as possible to finalize the factory."
"But don't worry, there's nothing that merchants from the United States can't do on the Japanese islands."
"We'll celebrate with drinks on the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony."
Yang Xiaotao nodded in agreement, and then the two prepared to leave.
Dawson saw the two to the door, and as they reached the door, he suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, Yang."
"May I have a tour of your factory before I leave?"
Yang Xiaotao stopped and turned around, saying calmly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dawson, that's confidential. We're not opening it to the public for the time being."
"Please understand."
Dawson chuckled, "Haha, I was just curious, don't take it to heart."
"As you know, I have great respect for copyright. Don't worry, I didn't mean anything by it."
Yang Xiaotao laughed along, but in his heart he wished he could beat the guy up.
Do you really think I don't know anything?
"Let's go, we'll talk again next time."
Yang Xiaotao said goodbye and left with Li Rong.
Dawson dropped him off downstairs and then returned to his residence.
As soon as I entered, I saw Jack and Wade.
“I brought it up, but they disagreed.”
Dawson walked to the side, picked up a bottle of wine, and poured himself a glass as a reward.
Jack frowned. "They won't allow a visit?"
"Yes, that's right, very firm."
Dawson swirled the red wine in his glass and spoke casually.
Jack frowned even more, and Wade said directly, "Can't you be a little more forceful? Last time, when the Japanese sent people over, they were allowed to visit."
Why doesn't it work for you?
"In that case, we won't be able to explain ourselves to our superiors."
Wade complained, and Jack felt uncomfortable too.
The purpose of infiltrating the team this time was to gather intelligence on China's Jiaoyang Computer.
Because they received information that the disassembled Jiaoyang 75 and Chenxi-1 were completely different products.
The approach of physically disassembling the Dawn-1 satellite frame by frame to finally compile the design drawings is completely unworkable.
The Jiaoyang 75 is like a single unit; it's difficult to disassemble.
Moreover, without intelligence support, the cost of blindly disassembling it would be no less than designing a new computer.
The two men brought experts with them, all to witness the production process of the Jiaoyang 75.
As long as the process is written down, they will have a framework when they return, and they will have something to report back to.
But now, Dawson is saying that the other party won't let them visit at all, which is completely blocking their way.
Faced with Wade's questioning, Dawson merely smiled contemptuously, "To get it over with?"
“Sir, that’s something you should be thinking about, it has nothing to do with me.”
After finishing his drink of red wine in one gulp, he said, "Don't talk to me about patriotism or honor."
“We are Americans, and you don’t need to use patriotism as a pretext to enrich yourselves in front of me.”
"Also, I am not alone."
After saying that, he put down his wine glass and went back to his bedroom.
He knew who the two men were and what their purpose was in wanting to visit the factory.
But this is not in his interest.
His goal was to collaborate on building a factory, selling computers, and profiting from it.
On the contrary, the actions of these two individuals are undermining this cooperation, which is not in his best interest.
So, who in their right mind would be willing to help them?
Jack and Wade looked worried as they watched Dawson leave.
"I have a feeling that our mission is going to fail."
Jack said dejectedly.
Wade sighed beside him, his mind a complete blank.
He then picked up the ashtray on the table and slammed it to the ground, cursing, "Damn it, why did you have to bring the two of us here?"
Why are we always the ones who get hurt?
Wade was met with Jack's lifeless eyes and a bitter smile.
