Chapter 51: The Stage Ladder

Once the elevator at Marina Bay Golden Sands Hotel is running, it jumps up like a rocket, and the floor numbers are beating fast. Lei Yujian raised his hand and looked at his watch, and then said to Xinti: "You have shown me the plan for the treaty fighter before, remember." ”

"Ah, I've been giving up for a long time." Xindi shook her head helplessly, "With my strength, I shouldn't have thought about such a big list, so let's keep to myself." ”

"Hey," Lei Yujian laughed, "If you say it well in a while, you can have as much money as you want in the future." ”

After saying that, the elevator gradually stopped. He took Hindy out and down the hallway into a lavishly decorated restaurant. The ceiling and four sides of the hall are decorated with elegant and noble wall panels, and the beams and columns are symmetrical and prosperous. The decorative palette is composed of vermilion, sapphire blue, black and gold. The floor is made of natural stone with beautiful patterns. There are crystals in all corners of the place.

Xindi followed in, wearing a scarlet jacquard silk cheongsam-style dress, which glowed wonderfully under the glow of the crystal chandelier.

The sound of the piano echoed in the restaurant, but Cindy was surprised that the large hall was empty, except for the two people sitting in front of the bartender at the bar, talking to each other as if they were doing some business. In addition to the double lemon soda, there are also a lot of information and charts scattered in front of him.

One of them was bald, thin, and in his forties, with a nervous expression and restrained movements. Xindi seems to have met each other at the defense exhibition, and is an arms middleman.

The other appeared to be younger, but very thin. I feel less than forty years old, and the specific age is not easy to judge. His posture was noticeably relaxed and casual, with a crisp black suit, a tie that looked expensive, a large shiny back, and gold-rimmed glasses. She had never met anyone like that, and there were only two types of people in the gun market who would appear to be polite and dressed in suits, one was a translator and the other was a technical expert involved in the negotiations. But it is unlikely that either type of person will buy such a suit and tie.

Lei Yujian walked straight over, came to the man with gold-rimmed glasses, turned the high chair beside him to Xinti, and motioned for her to sit down.

Xindi was a little nervous, she used to basically only deal with mercenaries, but the feeling exuded by this person wearing gold-rimmed glasses made Xindi feel that the other party was by no means an ordinary person. And...... He had his back to him, and if Hindy was sitting in the chair next to him, it would be a little too close.

Xindi took a breath, and sat down. But even though she tried to keep her movements small, her legs in black fishnet stockings accidentally touched the outside of her buttocks.

The gold-rimmed glasses looked back, and his expression was not sad or happy.

Hindy smiled at him.

He ignored it and turned back again.

At this time, Lei Yujian walked behind the gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Manager Liang, business is still so busy." ”

"It's not that I'm busy, it's that it's hard to find what I want." The person known as Manager Liang raised his hand and pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, held the information in his hand and looked at it for a while, and then threw it to the side, "There are too many things in the market, and there are few good ones." ”

Lei Yujian stepped forward and looked at the information: "Oh, this is the latest F-15SE, the best fighter you can buy on the market." ”

Manager Liang sniffed disdainfully, then took out a handkerchief from his jacket and wiped it, but did not answer.

The bald arms dealer next to him leaned over: "Yes, it's better than the performance of government aircraft." ”

"What did my people ask you, and how did you answer?" Manager Liang tilted his chin and didn't look at the other party with a straight face.

"Hidden ...... You say that stealth performance ......" said the bald arms dealer, "the F-15SE is already the aircraft that optimizes stealth characteristics as much as possible......"

Xindi listened from the sidelines, knowing that this was a bottleneck in the arms market. Although customers wanted fourth-generation stealth fighters, the post-war treaty stipulated that only third-generation and lower aircraft could be freely traded on the market, which were much inferior in stealth performance and were not rivals to fourth-generation aircraft.

"It's useless." Manager Liang pinched the data of the radar scattering area, and moved casually, "It's ugly, it's ugly!" ”

"But," the bald arms dealer resigned, "we can't get a fourth-generation fighter, and it's ......"

Manager Liang shook off the information and startled the other party.

The document flicked on the table and slid in front of Xindi. The attention of several people around her also shifted to her side.

Lei Yujian turned his head to look at Xinti, hoping that she would speak and seize this opportunity.

Xindi was startled by the coated paper that suddenly popped up in front of her, and she slowly pinched the paper with her fingers together. At this time, seeing the bald arms dealer staring at this side, Manager Liang also rarely squinted at himself. But the other party is so high up that he doesn't know if it's appropriate to interject. Xindi bowed her head and looked half shy, and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to solve, mainly because the backward radar scattering area is a bit large...... But the plane is indeed a good plane. ”

Xinti had previously ordered a low-altitude navigation pod for the KF-15SE for Lee Min-joon, and had learned about this aircraft during casual conversation.

"Yes, yes." The bald arms dealer quickly answered, "You're a connoisseur too." ”

Manager Liang reached out and took back the F-15SE omnidirectional radar scattering area chart, half-tilted his head and squinted, but did not speak, still with that cold expression.

Xindi was a little flustered, I don't know if this is waiting for myself to continue, so she said: "F-15 is one of the best third-generation aircraft, before the war, the manufacturer designed a conformal bomb bay for it to increase lateral stealth, if you get the canceled camber tail back, in fact, lateral stealth is okay." It's the backward ......" Speaking of this, she peeked at Manager Liang.

The other party still didn't speak, but his hands were shaking impatiently.

Xindi hurriedly finished speaking: "Rearward, in fact, it can be modified with the F-15S/MTD binary nozzle modification kit, in this way, the stealth performance of the whole aircraft is not too inferior to the fourth-generation aircraft." As long as...... As long as, yes, as long as the fuselage and vent are purchased separately, the restrictions of the proliferation treaty for stealth fighters can be circumvented. ”

Hearing this, Manager Liang suddenly had a snicker on his face, but he deliberately didn't let this smile appear on his face.

"Oh, that sounds like a pretty good idea." Lei Yujian leaned in behind and said, "You've studied it before?" ”

"Ah, yes." Hinty was a little embarrassed by her hasty interjection, "I used to work with the representatives of Jupiter Corporation on a special fighter plan to circumvent the treaty. This kind of, huh...... I've named it the F-15SS Treaty Fighter, and I can use a decentralized procurement scheme, and there are several other options. It's just that I wanted to try, but the other side asked for more than 8 aircraft to provide modifications, which would cost nearly $1 billion...... I just had to give up. ”

Speaking of which, Hindy was a little distracted. Thinking back to that small shop in the castle tower, it was a fantasy to do a business of this level. But obviously the market is there, and she is also very unwilling.

At this time, Manager Liang suddenly raised all the other materials to Xindi's chest. Xindi felt that it was sudden, so she quickly took it with both hands.

Then Manager Liang said to the bald arms dealer: "F-15SE, the first batch of 24 aircraft, as long as the fuselage." Engine and nozzle I'm looking for someone else. ”

Xindi sat next to her, leaning back and inhaling softly. There will be 24 at once, which is still the first batch. It would take $3 billion, and I wouldn't dare to think about it.

"Ah, no! Don't, don't do that, Manager Liang. The bald arms dealer was about to be happy when he heard about the 24 at first, but he didn't want the engine, but he felt that he had suddenly fallen from heaven into the fire pit, "We do a small business, and we make money from the engine, and the fuselage is completely lost to you." ”

"Tsk," Manager Liang frowned, very dissatisfied, picked up another stack of papers in his hand, held it up in front of the bald arms dealer and shook it, "No, your offer is not right." ”

"That's it, that's it, Manager Liang." The bald arms dealer was a little about to cry, "According to what this lady said, I'll get you the binary spout modification kit, and I'll purchase the engine, but the price won't change, can I?" We've made a big concession on that. ”

"Hiss......" Manager Liang was a little impatient, "Didn't you hear?" You have to purchase separately to circumvent the treaty, otherwise the special investigation team is coming, and you will wait to jump into the sea. ”

"We have a way, Manager Liang, please rest assured, rest assured." Bald Arms Dealership.

Manager Liang sighed, never looking at the other party: "Okay." After speaking, he took the tablet computer used for the transaction and looked at it, "You gave me two planes, that is, you purchased 24 planes, but delivered 26 planes, understand?" As he spoke, Manager Liang completed the terms modification and payment procedures.

"But ......"

Without waiting for the other party to respond, Manager Liang suddenly handed the tablet to Xindi: "You help me see if this is the case." With that, he put the tablet down, then took out his cigarette and lit it himself, looking indistinguishable.

"Huh? But ......," Xindi felt a little sudden.

Lei Yujian leaned over and said to Xindi: "Manager Liang has adopted your plan, can you give it another look?" ”

"Oh, okay then." Xindi moved the tablet to herself, then swiped her fingers and flipped through them one by one.

At this moment, Lei Yujian saw Xindi's preoccupied appearance, and then looked at Manager Liang's expression, and felt that things should be similar.

After reading it, Xindi handed the tablet back: "No problem at all. ”

Manager Liang took it, and without looking at it, he handed it to the bald arms dealer and asked him to confirm the transaction. The bald arms dealer looked relieved but helpless and closed the deal. Then he bowed to Manager Liang and left.

Seeing that the arms dealer was gone, Manager Liang unceremoniously spat out a smoke ring and said to Xinti, who was sitting next to him: "Your treaty fighter plan is not bad, can I invite you to a glass of wine?" ”

Xindi nodded slightly.

"Mix a glass of New Dongdu Commander Wine for this young lady." Manager Liang said to the bartender.

Just one cup? Hindy wondered if she was going to drink alone.

After a while, the wine was ready, and a gin based magenta cherry lemon cocktail was handed to him, decorated with three fruits.

At this time, Manager Liang picked up his bag and said to Lei Yujian: "I should go too." ”

Lei Yujian stood behind and greeted with a smile: "You are busy, you are indispensable everywhere." ”

"I'll have to see the old man in a moment." Manager Liang said.

"Then, please say hello to Mr. Fu on my behalf."

"Hmm." Manager Liang answered, and then turned to leave.

In the center of the hotel hall, only Lei Yujian and Xindi were left. The pianist was still playing in the corner, the bartender was wiping the bottles in the bar, and there were no other customers.

I saw Manager Liang hurriedly walking out of the hotel and gradually moving away. Lei Yujian slowly turned around and said to Xindi: "How is it?" ”

"The one who wants to show me is ......," Xindi looked out the door.

"Yes, Manager Liang."

"It's so casual to sign such a big order." Xindi sighed.

"Well, there are a lot of people looking for him to act as an agent." Lei Yujian replied casually, and then, slowly pacing over, said to Xindi sternly: "How is it, do you really plan to step on a big stage?" ”

Xindi stood up: "Who wouldn't. ”

"But at least you'll have to give up the old shop, and that's fine."

Xindi was silent for a moment, after all, no matter how small that shop was, it was also her retreat and a place to stay.

Before she could answer, Lei Yujian said again: "Not only the store, maybe your past life, or even yourself, have to give up." ”

"Hmmm......"

"I think you may need time to think about it again," Lei Yujian patted Xinti on the shoulder. "I'll send you back first."
