Young friends are here today

Swing the boat and the warm wind blows gently

The flowers are fragrant and the birds are singing

Spring is intoxicating

Accompanied by a song with a bright rhythm of "Young Friends Come to Meet", the friendship banquet in the hall on the second floor of the North ~~ Beijing Hotel finally reached a small climax with unique Chinese characteristics, and the negotiators and staff of China and the United States, who were originally a little unable to let go, finally let go of the previous restraint under the most popular pop song at the moment, and danced with the uplifting melody

"Little Lu, why don't you go down and dance?"

"Zhu Lao, don't make fun of me, I have hard arms and legs, and I don't look like a Yangge, this kind of ballroom dance still doesn't look like that!"

"Really?" Zhu Guangrong's eyes that seemed to see through everything revealed two intriguing looks, and then smiled meaningfully:

"Then how did I hear that your lover has some expertise in dance, how could you not?"

Zhu Guangrong said that Lu Jiadong's lover is none other than Chen Ziyue, who went to school in Bei~~~ Beijing, Lu Jiadong presided over negotiations in Bei~~~ Beijing, Chen Ziyue naturally often came over to take care of Lu Jiadong's life, and over time became familiar with Zhu Guangrong and others, but Lu Jiadong was very similar to shouting wrong.

Chen Ziyue's dance skills are indeed first-class, especially ballroom dancing, which is so good that he has no friends, he was the president of the school's ballroom dance club when he was in Yangcheng University, and he transferred to Bei~~~ Beijing as a part-time dance teacher in the school.

It's just that Lu Jiadong knows that his wife has always regretted that he can't teach his ballroom dance well, but in fact, Lu Jiadong is not not serious about learning. But no matter how hard you try, you always can't figure it out, either stepping on your feet or running around, anyway, you can't step on the dance point:

"Maybe it's just talent!"

In the end, Lu Jiadong could only sigh like this and gave up studying, and because of this, perhaps he Lu Jiadong was a well-deserved focus at the technical seminar. But at a ball or a sorority, the young military expert would hide from the spotlight and quietly enjoy the wonderful performances of other focal points.

However, Lu Jiadong's actions fell in the eyes of others, but there was a kind of humility and courtesy, and it was said that even his wife's dancing skills were so powerful, how could the extremely smart Lu Jiadong not even twist Yangge as he said, I think I just didn't want to be in the limelight, so I did. Everyone admired and respected Lu Jiadong's low-key style of acting even more.

Zhu Guangrong is the same, after a period of contact, this authoritative expert in the field of tanks and armored vehicles, not only praised Lu Jiadong's own technical ability, but also praised him for his personality and responsibility. There was less seriousness between the words, but more ridicule. But the pair of eyes that have always been rigorous and realistic still wrap Lu Jiadong's figure in an admiring look

"I still think it's better to watch others dance!" At this time, Lu Jiadong is also smart, neither denying nor affirming, after all, this kind of thing is difficult to explain, on the contrary, sometimes it backfires, making people feel a little hypocritical. The best thing to do is to prevaricate the past without being salty or light, and then change the topic:

"By the way, Zhu Lao, yesterday I asked Qinghua to bring you the overall plan of the previous new tank, I guess you have already seen it!"

"Take a look!" Zhu Guangrong's kind smile always hung on his face. The transparent eyes naturally saw through Lu Jiadong's careful thoughts, but he didn't break it, but nodded:

"It should be said that it is still in line with the technical requirements of tank armored vehicles as a whole, and some of the high-tech applications can also be solved from the introduction of foreign technology, but"

As he spoke, Zhu Guangrong couldn't help but pause, with a slight hesitation in his eyes, and Lu Jiadong responded with an indifferent smile:

"Zhu Lao, it doesn't hurt if you say it, there are many problems in the overall plan of our new tank, and we need an authoritative expert like you to check it!"

"I can't talk about the gatekeeping, I just want to say my own opinion!" When it comes to the technical problems of tank armored vehicles, Zhu Guangrong seems to have changed as a different person, and the whole person looks much more energetic, pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, and continues with a serious and serious expression:

"Actually, the data of this new tank is still very good on paper, but it still does not meet the tactical needs of the troops in some aspects, such as"

"Hi~~ Lu, why did you come here!" Just as Zhu Guangrong was about to explain in detail to Lu Jiadong about the overall plan of the new tank, a very discordant and awkward Chinese quickly reached his ears, which made Zhu Guangrong couldn't help but twist his brows, and then followed the voice, only to find out that it was the chief negotiator of the American Gage Cinda Company, Paulson:

"Sorry, Mr. Zhu, I interrupted your conversation, I wonder if I can talk to Mr. Lu alone?" Paulson spoke not very fluent Chinese, with an apologetic but kind smile, nodded at Zhu Guangrong, which made Zhu Guangrong can't help but be frightened, but after thinking about it, Paulson is a foreign guest after all, plus the technology transfer agreement that Gage Xinda Company he represents is about to perform, Zhu Guangrong smiled at Paulson with the same gentle smile:

"No problem!" Then he turned his head to Lu Jiadong's side and continued: "Xiao Lu, since that's the case, let's wait until we have time to discuss it!"

After speaking, Zhu Guangrong touched the cup with Lu Jiadong and Paulson, and then turned to leave, Paulson looked at Zhu Guangrong's back gradually submerged in the crowd, and couldn't help nodding to Lu Jiadong and praised:

"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect your partners to be so professional and polite!"

"Mr. Paulson, aren't your fellows the same?"

"They?" Paulson shook his head helplessly as he looked at the Negotiators from Gage Cinda in the center of the dance floor, but soon this helplessness was overshadowed by his rational emotions, and continued to Lu Jiadong:

"Our agreement has been approved by the U.S. government in principle, and the biggest obstacle at the moment is Congress!"

"Oh?" Listening to Paulson's words, Lu Jiadong's eyebrows raised: "Is it such a cost-effective agreement." Is your country's Congress still going to obstruct it?"

Hearing the word "cost-effective", Paulson's heart couldn't help but have a wry smile, for China only to pay a set of core data and related samples of silicon carbide in the main armor of the Soviet T-80 tank, to get the MB870Ka-500 diesel engine and its supporting system, XHM-1500 transmission system, high-precision rigid system, advanced electronic gyroscope system to complete the production and manufacturing production line and related processes, such an exchange ratio, the word cost-effective can be said to be well-deserved.

But it's the other way around. For Gage Cinda, this word is not talked about in any way, but it is just a series of conditions to change the core data of silicon carbide in the main armor of the T-80 tank, and then grasp the right to speak in the field of advanced anti-tank ammunition, so as to barely keep the company from being carved up by several military-industrial complexes.

Of course, it is also in the interests of the US Government to do so, because after all, now that the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony has once again set off an upsurge of confrontation and is fighting to the death with all its national strength, the United States very much needs China to hold back the Soviet Union in the Far East. Let this red-painted furry bear end up and take care of itself.

Because of this, using the relevant technology in the MBT-70 tank, which had long been thrown into the pile of old papers, in exchange for the main armor structure of the T-80 tank, which was the most advanced in the Soviet Union at the moment, was simply a bargain for the United States, so for the US government, they did not care whether these technologies were the treasures of the Gage Cinda Company, let alone asked what would happen to the Gage Cinda Company in the future after losing these technologies. Anyway, it can hold China at present, and it does not allow China to get the most cutting-edge technology. It is the most in line with the current practical interests of the US government.

It's just that this is indeed a very cruel reality for Gage Cinda Company, and because of this, Williams, chairman of Gage Cinda Company, is very angry, originally he thought that he could get a certain amount of subsidies from the government, but he didn't expect the U.S. government to let such an attitude, so Williams instructed Paulson, who was in China, to fight for his interests again. While preparing the corresponding materials to be submitted to the Congress, I am ready to break the net with all the enemies as a last resort!

Paulson was helpless, but there was no better way, after all, he was now tied to the interests of Gage Cinda. As the saying goes, if the skin does not have the fur, it will be attached, if Williams really runs to the Congress, then he Paulson will not have any good fruit, because of this, at the stall of the banquet, Paulson will urgently find Lu Jiadong to see if there is a turnaround:

"Mr. Lu, as you know, the export of high-tech in the United States is not something that can be done by the government with a word, but requires the consent of Congress, and large-scale technology transfer like the one in the agreement cannot bypass the inquiry of the US Congress, so"

"As far as I know, the introduction of high-precision precision machining equipment and related production lines on our agreement is in line with the scope of the technology import and export agreement signed between the Chinese government and your country in 79, not to mention that we only need one or two sets of equipment, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sample, and it does not meet the audit standards of the US Congress."

As he spoke, Lu Jiadong couldn't help but pause, raised his eyebrows upward, as if to say: "If Gage Xinda Company wants to regret it, it's okay, there are still many military-industrial complexes waiting in line behind you!"

How could Paulson not see what Lu Jiadong meant, in fact, he had long known that there were no tricks to brush up in front of this young man, but it was only because of many years of professional habits and the residual luck psychology that Paulson mustered up the courage to give it a try, but after being exposed by Lu Jiadong, Paulson did not feel any embarrassment, but showed an admiring smile and nodded:

"I know that no matter what you do, you can't hide it from Mr. Lu's insight! That's right! Our agreement does not meet the review requirements of the US Congress, and with the support of the US government, it can indeed be passed without hindrance, and Mr. Lu must be very clear about this, but since you know the international situation and the technical situation in detail, then I think you should also know the situation that our Gage Cinda Company is facing now."

Although Paulson did not finish his words, this begging for mercy that is similar to land reparations has been said very bluntly, that is, our Gage Xinda Company has taken out all the things at the bottom of the pressure box, although a life has been saved, but no benefit has been reaped at all, and my heart is a little unpleasant, thinking that you Chinese eat meat and drink wine, whether you also share some broth or something for Gage Xinda Company to drink, as everyone knows, at this time, Lu Jiadong has already prepared a bowl of delicious broth in his hand, waiting for Paulson to come to the door to beg for mercy:

"Seeing that our Chinese attitude has always been that people respect me, I respect people, since Gage Xinda Company and Mr. Paulson are good friends and good partners of the Chinese people, we naturally want to help with all our strength in case of difficulties, Mr. Paulson, how are you like this, I think that the previous 'Jaguar' tank project of your company and the North Plant was stalled because of some unpleasantness, but I think it should be continued!"

"Mr. Lu, what do you mean" Seeing that Lu Jiadong was speaking generously, Paulson was a little stunned, and just said subconsciously, but before he could continue, he was stopped by Lu Jiadong's hand:

"Mr. Paulson, I haven't finished talking yet, in fact, I think the 'Jaguar' tank project is good, we can deepen this cooperation, the tank turret developed by Gage Cinda is not a good idea to install on the new tank, but if it is installed on the original site as part of a Soviet T-55 or Chinese Type 59 improvement project, it is indeed a very good modification program, you know in today's world"

"There are dozens of countries in the world equipped with T-55 and Type 59 tanks, and the number is tens of thousands!"

"And with the use of Chinese production, the cost can be minimized, so that this improved tank will be more competitive, if coupled with the support of Gage Cinda company's perfect sales network around the world, I believe it will achieve very good results!"

"Mr. Lu Bulu, please let me call you dear Lu, this is definitely a win-win cooperation"

Paulson was a little incoherent, and the whole person was even more excited (to be continued). )
