"They still have to talk to the state government, and they can't answer us right now. Yulia negotiated fiercely with those people again, but still did not get a satisfactory result.

"Let's talk about it slowly, anyway, we're going to stay here for a few days, and Sergey and Roman will be here in two days. Let's go, let's go back and change clothes, in fact, what I want to buy most is the place where we live, but unfortunately they don't sell it!" Hong Tao was not interested in this investment, his heart was all on the Sea Launch Platform.

Hong Tao stayed in a holiday villa on a hillside on the outskirts of the city, and the appearance looked a little old and green. But the villa is very large, it is Stalin's holiday home on the Black Sea, and the interior is very elaborate, even the semi-underground swimming pool is filled with seawater. Every year Stalin would come here for a few days and meet with the Soviet dignitaries in the living room on the first floor. It's a pity that no matter how much money Hong Tao pays, the state government doesn't sell it, and it is usually not even open to the outside world, so it is already a special discount to let Hong Tao and them live in.

Hong Tao and Yulia had only spent less than a week in Sochi, and with the arrival of Sergey and Roman, the small villa immediately became lively. They are not as light and simple as Hong Tao, and they can't wait to bring out all the good hands in the family, each of them has 4 or 5 bodyguards alone, and they are much more powerful than Hong Tao. And they can toss more than Hong Tao, they basically can't see people every day, they move around, and they never come back until dark. Roman simply moved his bed directly into the living room, sleeping under a large portrait of Stalin, who said he wanted to feel the memory of the Soviet Union. It's a pity that he didn't feel enough, so he was dragged by Sergei to Moscow together. Except for a phone call every few days, it seems that he doesn't plan to come back. Listen to Sergey. He was interested in Moscow's nightclubs and might want to open a Red Star branch there.

"It's almost settled. Your money is powerful, the military and NASA have reached an agreement, they will get a piece of the pie, and the original technology leakage can be discussed immediately. You are ready to prepare, it is estimated that in more than half a month, there will be a reply from their side, and then you should raise funds. 500 million dollars! When I first saw you on the ice hockey rink, I never dared to think that you could have 500 million. If you want to take revenge on me for the abuse I made to you in the first place, it should be time. But Roman and Sergey didn't run away either. In mid-October, the two of them deliberately returned to Sochi from Moscow, bringing good news to Hong Tao.

"Can you find out about such a confidential matter?" Hong Tao felt a little incredible, a small political commissar of a secret unit abandoned by the former Soviet Union, a Russian immigrant who had never returned here in his life, could have such great energy?

"This is the credit of Sergey, it has nothing to do with me. Roman shrugged.

"What you said to me at the beginning proves once again that you are right, many of my colleagues who did not have a chance to escape, they are now transformed into powerful figures, and I am a small businessman...... Fate is so unfair! Fortunately, I was kind to them at the beginning. I've also helped a few people's relatives, and my father's affairs have nothing to do with anyone else, and now it's time for them to repay me. Sergei said it quite lightly, but Hong Tao could imagine it. He should also be worried to find those old colleagues and colleagues, politicians, and turn their faces when they say they turn their faces. There is no pattern at all.

"Well, now I owe you a great favor! I'll give you an idea, and I'll pay you back. You're not a good person to do business. You don't like to do business either, you go on with nightclubs, but don't focus on that, you come and do this project with me, how about having you a little more grounded in my heart?" Hong Tao has never been so grateful to Sergei in his heart, no matter what his purpose is, at least he is taking risks for himself, which is grateful.

"You're going to have to be too fast, and I don't think I'm going to help you!" Sergey felt like he was at a loss.

"Look, you look down at your feet again! Raise your head and look forward, your country will not continue to decay like this, have you ever heard of a man named Vladimir Putin?" Hong Tao actually wanted to ask Sergei this question all the time, but he couldn't bear to ask it all the time, and now he finally couldn't help it.

"I've heard of it before, but I don't know him, I haven't been in contact with him, and Ratz should be more familiar with him, they both spent time in the former GDR. Now that he's the head of the Presidential Affairs Administration, he should be pretty good, do you need to get to know him?" Sergei was a little surprised that Hong Tao could ask such a specific name.

"If you believe me, it's best to have more contact with him, don't ask why, and think of it as a long-term investment. It doesn't matter how much money you spend right now, it's worth it. If Sergei and the others don't return to Russia, if they don't get in touch with this Sea Launch Platform project, Hong Tao is estimated that he will never mention Putin to Sergei in his life, let alone encourage him to get close to the future Russian neo-Tsar. As for why he wants to talk more now, Hong Tao himself doesn't know very well, and he didn't even think about the gains and losses, so he said it casually.

In view of Hong Tao's consistent style of being a god, Sergei didn't dare to believe it or not, and deliberately took out a small notebook and wrote the name Putin on it, for fear of forgetting. Roman was not optimistic about what Hong Tao was doing, and he thought the same as Yulia, this kind of investment was too risky, and the profits were insignificant in comparison. What he can't see through the most is that Hong Tao wants to bring the two natural enemies of the United States and Russia together to do business, and it also involves a lot of national defense secrets.

Regardless of whether it hurts or not, at the end of November, people from four countries actually gathered at the headquarters of Boeing in Seattle and mysteriously entered the office building of Boeing's Integrated Defense Systems Group. In addition to the three private lawyers and accountants, Hong Tao, Singh, Yulia, and Rada are all young people under the age of 30, standing with representatives of the other four companies, and the youngest has to be called uncle.

For example, the highest average height is the representative of the Norwegian Kvarner Group, among the 7 or 8 of them, the shortest one is a little taller than Hong Tao, Hong Tao has always wondered, with such good physical conditions, why is Norway's volleyball and basketball level not very good?

Another example is the most educated, and that is the delegation of Ukraine called the Southern Design Company. There were all kinds of men and women, the homes of experts, and the largest number of people, of course, the representatives of the Boeing Company, who, as landlords, had their conference tables almost full. Russia's delegation to the new company, which was jointly established by NASA and Xueyan Investment, is the most beautiful, with 5 old handsome guys among 9 people.

The Integrated Defense Systems Group is NASA's largest contractor, providing military aircraft, missiles, launch vehicles and weapons systems to dozens of governments around the world, as well as conducting research projects with the U.S. Department of Defense. How can I say it, the big arms dealer can no longer describe it, after World War II, almost every war in which the United States participated in and led it was behind it.

But the United States is a very strange country, you say such a big defense organization, it is actually a listed company. It is not supported by government grants, nor is it in the sequence of government agencies, and if you want aircraft missiles, you have to pay for them, even if the US military wants to use them, you have to pay for them. It's the same with other countries, except that it has an agreement with the U.S. government that it can sell differently or not at all for different countries.

Of course, what Hong Tao has come into contact with now is probably just an ordinary office of this group, and the real secret things are basically not visible, and it is impossible for others to see them; even so, Hong Tao, a participant with a Chinese passport, was vetoed by Boeing, and how could he finally solve it? There was no other good way, Hong Tao could only go back to Toronto first, get a naturalization oath ceremony, and officially become a Canadian citizen. And he didn't do it twice, anyway, he also became a naturalized citizen, so just join two, Han Yan is still helping him apply for Swiss citizenship. Canada and Switzerland are both countries that recognize dual citizenship, as for the use of dual nationality, Hong Tao is not very clear, so he is busy using it.

Now that he has become a Canadian citizen, Hong Tao's identity is no longer a big obstacle, and he has made it clear that he will not participate in specific technical exchange sessions and will not send people to attend these meetings. He is just an investor of the Southern Design Company and a joint venture partner of the Russian Skynet Company, and he can attend the necessary company meetings, and he has no time to read the superfluous things, and he can't understand them, so he doesn't have to worry about any leaks. In fact, he really can't send such a person to play with rockets! Where does Hong Tao find that kind of talent? What is the use of it?

The meeting on the first day was just a formality, and since the four shareholders were confirmed, everyone had to sit down and chat, get acquainted with each other, and then talk about the next issues. So everyone sat in the conference room, speaking English with different accents, but talking about different things, and the first person to talk to Hong Tao was the vice president of Boeing's Integrated Defense Systems Group, Mark Levin.
