Among the many guests at tonight's cocktail party are not the powerful dignitaries of the pan-Hong Kong British government, but also the predators of the business community.

In Hong Kong, the cosmopolitan metropolis of business, these people are no less energetic than the senior officers of the British Army stationed in Hong Kong, and some of them are even more effective in what they say.

On what basis did Hughes Field bring Williams to introduce him to him?

Could it be that Hughes Field and Williams have a deeper personal relationship than the people downstairs?

Did Hughes Field have any other intentions in doing this?

A series of thoughts flashed through Yang Weiping's mind, but on the surface, he and Williams seemed to be a pair of old acquaintances reunited after a long absence, and the smiles on each other's faces were so natural and enthusiastic.

"William, this beautiful young lady, is Yang's secretary and, of course, the woman most closely related to Yang, Qiu. Hughes Field pointed at Qiu Fang with his right hand and said mysteriously: "Don't underestimate her, I bet that if you fight her, you will definitely not be her opponent!"

"Hello, mysterious Oriental beauty!" Williams bowed slightly to Qiu Fang very gentlemanly.

"Hello!" Qiu Fang smiled and nodded, then put away her smile and stood coldly behind Yang Weiping, staring at the British officer's every move with a hint of vigilance in her eyes, as if she was afraid that the other party would suddenly attack and be unfavorable to Yang Weiping.

Williams, who was originally going to wait for a kiss salute, was suddenly a little embarrassed by Qiu Fang's move.

"William, I forgot to tell you, Autumn is a very traditional Oriental woman, and she is very unaccustomed to our European manners. Seeing this, Hughes Field hurriedly explained.

"Hehe, that's a shame. Williams shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Field, you brought Colonel William over to introduce us to each other, I think, you should be more than just let us know each other and make friends, right?" Yang Weiping smiled and looked tentatively at Hugh Field and asked.

"Yang, of course I want you to be friends with William. Hughes Field replied solemnly, "However, William does have more important matters to discuss with you. ”

Sure enough, Yang Weiping was secretly vigilant, and quietly said "oh", waiting for Hughes Field's next words.

Hughes Field's expression became serious and explained: "That's right, Yang, the batch of precision machine tools we brought in from Europe are more sensitive, and they belong to the strategic prohibited materials embargoed to the East. Although Hong Kong is a territory of the British Empire, because it borders China, the use of such embargoed materials must be registered with the Ministry of Defence to prevent loss!"

Yang Weiping secretly said that the British are really not vegetarians, and the batch of precision machine tools that he traded with the Germans before, he also changed his hands several times in the coat of the Japanese before they were safely transported into the warehouse of the Tiangong Smelter and hidden, it seems that the British have done a tighter blockade of the Asian region than the Germans.

But he thought about it, it shouldn't be right, he didn't handle this batch of equipment from beginning to end, and even if the British wanted to check it, it was impossible for them to have anything to do with him.

"Field, this batch of equipment was ordered in your name, is there any problem?" Yang Weiping asked with a frown in his eyes and puzzlement.

"There was no problem with the equipment, but I was telling people at the time that it was a new type of alloy for machining. Hughes Field replied with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "So, they asked me for some samples of this new alloy you invented." ”

! I originally wanted to beat Lao Tzu's 6063T6 alloy idea! Yang Weiping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Yang, I think you should know that this new alloy you invented is also very valuable in the military aspect, right?" Williams didn't go around in circles anymore and went straight to the point. …,

"Aluminum alloys have been used in the military field for a wide range of purposes since they were first introduced. Yang Weiping smiled noncommittally: "As for the specific use of this new alloy I invented in the military, I haven't had time to conduct in-depth and detailed research." ”

"Mr. Yang, after our materials science experts have conducted multiple tests and analyses on the samples provided by Field, the experts have found that the new aluminum alloy you invented can be actually industrialized and mass-produced, and has a variety of variable uses!" Williams said seriously: "Just a little change in the composition of the alloy containing silicon, manganese, copper, strontium, magnesium five elements, can be changed into a new alloy for different purposes." And most importantly, these alloys can be industrially produced, which is invaluable compared to the samples that are still in the lab!"

"Do you want to get all the processes to achieve industrial mass production?" Yang Weiping looked at Williams with an indifferent expression and said with a smile: "Colonel, are you talking to me as the chief of staff of Shigang Air Base, or do you have other identities?"

"Yang, William is a colonel intelligence officer in MI6 of the British Empire Ministry of Defense!" said Hughes Field with a solemn expression on the side, pointing out Williams' true identity.

Hearing Hughes Field say this, Yang Weiping secretly gasped.

The British MI6 is a world-class intelligence agency on a par with the KGB of the Soviet Union and the CIA of the United States. Holy shit, the British guy's nose is too smart!

"Field, you mean, we have a chance to do business with the British Empire's Ministry of Defence?" Yang Weiping asked with a look of excitement and inexplicable excitement.

The word "we" made Hughes Field feel very good, and he nodded happily and replied: "Yes, Yang, if our bicycle can be labeled as aerospace and military materials, it will definitely be able to quickly seize the global market in the shortest possible time!"

"Colonel, what benefits can I get from cooperating with you?" Yang Weiping took a deep breath and asked calmly.

"What benefits do you want?" Williams asked with a smile and no reply.

"The reason why I didn't patent this new alloy globally is because I am sure that even if someone can analyze the composition of this alloy in the laboratory for at least ten years, it will not be possible to achieve industrial mass production. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently: "I believe that the Americans and the Soviets will be very interested in this." ”

"I can apply for the qualification of a special supplier of the British Empire Ministry of Defense for your Tiangong Aluminum!" Williams replied solemnly.

"That's not enough. Yang Weiping smiled and shook his head and said: "If I choose to cooperate with the Americans and the Soviets, I believe they can also win this qualification for me." ”

"If you want money, you can make an offer. Williams squinted slightly, stared at Yang Weiping's eyes tightly, and said in a flat tone.

"Colonel, you should know that as a shareholder of Field, I am not short of money. Yang Weiping still shook his head lightly and smiled.

"And what do you want?" Williams asked with a smile, apparently patient.

Yang Weiping reached out and touched his trouser pocket, and when Hughes Field saw this, he quickly took out a Havana cigar from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it over.

"Thank you. Yang Weiping took the cigar, slowly turned the cigar in his hand on the special match drawn by Huce Field and roasted it for a while, then nodded his cigarette and took several puffs in succession silently.

Taking advantage of his cigarettes, Hughes Field and Williams each lit a cigar, and the three men stood quietly on the edge of the balcony fence, spitting clouds and mist.

After about five minutes, Yang Weiping raised his head and said, "First, I want to build a new materials laboratory in Europe, and you will provide the necessary equipment and space. ”…,

"No problem, I can promise you this now!" Williams replied with a nod without hesitation.

"Second, my alloy is very widely used in the weapons industry, and I hope you will apply for a license for me to legally engage in arms research and development, manufacturing, and trade in Europe. Yang Weiping unhurriedly opened the second condition.

"The arms business is not very easy to do. Williams said with a slight frown.

"I'm only doing R&D in the early stage, and whether I can design a new weapon that is competitive is my business. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently: "I only need to have the legal qualifications to engage in weapons research and development now." ”

"If your research results can be shared with the resources of the British Empire, I think I can help you get this request from you. Williams slyly put up a string attaché.

Yang Weiping lowered his head and pondered for a while, thinking in his heart that cooperating with the British in this regard should be beneficial and harmless in the short term, as for the future, hehe, the laboratory can be declared closed anytime and anywhere.

"Well, if the weapons I developed can be sold to the British Empire, of course everyone will be happy. Yang Weiping nodded generously and replied, "Third, I hope to become a material supplier to Rolls-Royce Ltd." ”

"I can put you in touch with this. Williams didn't give a clear answer, but replied thoughtfully: "However, with this new aluminum alloy you invented, I believe Rolls-Royce should be interested." ”

"Fourth, Tiangong Aluminum invested in British Aluminium with technology, holding 12% of the shares. Yang Weiping put forward the fourth condition very seriously.

"This can't be, three percent at most!" Williams didn't want to refuse.

"Ten percent!" Yang Weiping saw the other party reply, knowing that there was a play, it was estimated that Williams had already been authorized in this regard when he came, so he began to bargain.

Williams hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "Five percent!"

"Eight percent!" Yang Weiping gave in again.

"Six percent at most!" Williams added another percentage point.

"Seven .5 percent!" Yang Weiping continued to fight unrelentingly.

"Six .five percent!" Williams stared at Yang Weiping fiercely and said, "Mr. Yang, don't be too greedy!"

"Seven percent!" Yang Weiping also looked at the other party with sharp eyes, and said in a decisive manner: "This is my last concession! In addition, it must be added that without Field's consent, Alcoa is not allowed to sell this material to any bicycle manufacturer in the world!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Yang's condition, I think it's very reasonable!" said Hughes Field, nodding his head in agreement.

"Deal!" Williams let out a long breath, stretched out his right hand towards Yang Weiping, and said with a wry smile: "Yang, you are really a shrewd businessman!"

Yang Weiping smiled and stretched out his right hand to hold the other party's right palm, and said indifferently: "William, I'm giving face to Field, if I cooperate with the Americans or the Soviets, I can be sure that I can get better conditions than them." ”
