"Not for sale?!"

Before Hugh and them could react, Yang Zhenguo was anxious first.

This stinky boy is really stiff-winged, and he dares to say anything.

TWO DAYS AGO, THEY TOLD YANG WEINING THAT THEY WOULD SELL THIS SOFTWARE TO THE AMERICANS, WHY DID AUTOCAD BECOME A NON-SALE PRODUCT WHEN IT CAME TO THE REPORT MEETING?

Yang Zhenguo just wanted to speak and reprimand, but Leng Buding was pulled by Lu Wenjun's shoulder, signaling him to be restless.

Lu Wenjun has been dealing with Yang Weining for more than a month, and he knows that this kid will not speak indiscriminately, maybe there is some deep meaning behind the "non-sale".

Yang Zhenguo understood Lu Wenjun's eyes, frowned, and understood that he was in a hurry.

This kid shouldn't be so out of tune.

However, when he thought that Lu Wenjun, an outsider, knew his son better than himself, Yang Zhenguo was a little unhappy.

Fortunately, at this time, the attention of Hugh, Harper and others was focused on Yang Weining, and they did not notice the abnormality of the two Chinese speakers at the report meeting.

Otherwise, the clues will definitely be seen.

As for "not for sale", Hugh has heard a lot.

In their opinion, there is never a saying that it is not for sale, and some just depend on whether the price you give is high enough.

A few years later, there was a famous Toshiba machinery incident that illustrated this truth.

After World War II, nuclear submarines were regarded as the backbone of the "second nuclear counterattack" due to their superior performance, which was valued by major powers and became an important bargaining chip in the Soviet-American arms race.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Navy had the largest submarine force in the world, with a total of 306 submarines, including 78 ballistic missile submarines and 228 attack submarines.

In order to maintain its superiority over the Soviet Union, the United States has made use of its advanced science and technology to concentrate its efforts on developing underwater antisubmarine technology while improving the quality of its submarines.

At the end of the 70s of the last century, the American John Walker Jr. leaked the secret that American sonar could track Soviet submarines to the Soviet side, reminding the latter to eliminate the low-frequency noise of nuclear submarines mainly caused by propellers as soon as possible.

The Soviets were shocked by the news and immediately took a series of emergency measures to reduce noise, the most important of which was the redesign of the new seven-bladed large side-tilt propeller, which required large precision machining machinery.

And the Soviet side did not have precisely such processing capabilities.

At that time, the "Paris Coordination Committee", which was in charge of export control in the West, listed such high-grade machinery as an embargoed material for strategic purposes, and the Soviet Union was greatly troubled by the inability to obtain such advanced technology and equipment.

It wasn't until 1980 that things took a turn for the better.

The Soviet Union, on the pretext of processing "other components", offered to the RB trade mission the purchase of several sets of CNC machines.

When the information reached RB Toshiba Machinery Company and saw that it was profitable, it hurriedly signed a contract with the Soviet side privately, and also adopted the method of concealing the world and the sea, deceived the RB Ministry of International Trade and Industry and customs personnel, and provided the Soviet Union with four MBP-110 milling machines with very high machining accuracy and efficiency in the name of ordinary machine tools, and sent people to Leningrad in the Soviet Union for installation and commissioning many times.

Not long after, the United States was surprised to find that the noise of the new attack nuclear submarines of the C-class, S-class, M-class, and Akula-class newly developed by the Soviet Union was significantly reduced, which was completely comparable to that of the US military's existing nuclear submarines.

The detection and tracking of Soviet submarines by the US sonar system is no longer a matter of hundreds of nautical miles, but must be within 20 nautical miles to be effective.

In particular, in the vicinity of Gibraltar, there was even an incident in which the US nuclear submarine "Augusta" collided with a Soviet nuclear submarine while carrying out a tracking mission.

When the news broke, the US government and the opposition were greatly shocked.

Later, after an investigation by the CIA, it was finally discovered that the culprit was RB Toshiba.

After the incident was revealed, it not only caused an uproar in the United States, but also caused public anger in Western countries.

For a time, Toshiba and the RB government became the target of Western allies and were criticized by all sides.

Under pressure from the United States, the RB Metropolitan Police Department conducted a surprise inspection of Toshiba Corporation, seized all relevant secret information, and arrested those involved.

In the months that followed, the U.S. government and opposition were furious, repeatedly condemning RB and imposing sanctions on Toshiba.

At that time, RB Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone had to apologize to the United States, and RB spent 100 million yen to publish full-page "confession ads" in more than 50 newspapers in the United States.

But all this has been to no avail, the improved performance of Soviet submarines, the reduction of noise, means that the sonar anti-submarine system, which the United States has painstakingly operated for decades, has basically failed.

The U.S. Navy's already hard-to-maintain technological superiority is in danger of being lost.

It is estimated that the cost of developing and replacing new, more effective detection technologies and equipment would be between $20 billion and $40 billion.

In order to make a small amount of money, Toshiba sold advanced machine tools to the Soviet Union, allowing the latter to win the initiative in an underwater war with the US military, and then posed a serious threat to the US navy and strategic nuclear forces, as well as the entire Western defense system, and the indirect losses caused by this were immeasurable.

Of course, the CAD software written by Yang Weining, although it has an important role in promoting a country's manufacturing industry as a whole, only plays a role in icing on the cake for the United States.

AFTER ALL, CAD IS ONLY AN INDUSTRIAL CATALYST, EVEN IF THERE IS NO AUTOCAD, THE UNITED STATES WILL LAUNCH MORE CAD PRODUCTS IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS, AND GRADUALLY IMPROVE, AND FINALLY COMPLETE THE OVERALL INDUSTRIAL UPGRADING, AFTER THE COLLAPSE OF THE SOVIET UNION, BECOME THE WORLD'S ONLY SUPERPOWER.

What Yang Weining has to do now is how to shout a good price for this product in his hand.

Anyway, now Americans are all local tyrants, and if they don't slaughter them, they don't slaughter them for nothing.

Hugh secretly scolded Yang Weining in his heart, but on the surface, he said politely: "Since it is not for sale, then I will not force it, but Mr. Weining Yang, after visiting in the past few days, I have been deeply impressed by the level of aviation technology of your institute, I wonder if you are not interested in cooperating with our Grumman company?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene secretly scolded Hugh for being insidious.

On the surface, Hugh did not mean to buy AUTOCAD, but the implicit meaning of this statement is not that it is possible to cooperate with the Chinese through technology exchange?

The Chinese's thirst for advanced aviation technology is clear to everyone here.

This time, the delegation came in the hope of taking money out of the pockets of the Chinese.

Who would have thought that after today's report meeting, Hugh would be directly made into an equal exchange of technology.

For a while, Edward Williams, Roman Rohdes and others also had to follow up: "Mr. Wei Ningyang, Boeing (Lockheed) also hopes to cooperate with your firm." ”
