Chapter 14 This Basket Makes "Please" Bigger
[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site " ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Maximus was shouted by Harry Ford, and immediately reacted to what a terrible fact he had said.
Oh, my God! This is the most confidential thing in Hughes!
Yes, Hughes added a bomb to the Austar, and it was not the kind of self-destruct device set up for the need for secrecy, it was a real bomb, as for the purpose, although the top management did not have a name, but as the senior vice president of Hughes Company, as a shrewd businessman who is well versed in the commercial satellite launch market, it is not difficult for Maximus to deduce the reason why the company did this.
In recent years, commercial satellite launches in the United States and Europe have repeatedly failed, and the destruction of satellites and arrows has occurred from time to time, which can be said to have led to a downturn in the commercial satellite launch market, and many large companies have suspended or postponed their plans to own commercial satellites in view of this situation.
As the United States, which has always monopolized the international commercial satellite launch market, naturally does not want to see a new competitor emerge in this market, which is not very large in the first place. Moreover, the Americans have always believed that the Chinese are far more difficult to cope with than Russia, and as a large country with a population of more than one billion, as a large country with nuclear deterrence capabilities and satellite launch capabilities, China is undoubtedly a powerful potential opponent of the United States in the commercial satellite launch market.
So, is it to wait until this opponent grows up and fights with himself? Or do you want to kill him while he's still in his infancy? This choice is obviously easy to make.
Although Hughes does not have to worry about who will launch the satellites he produces, he is an American company after all. Obviously, the national will of the United States is above all else, so it makes perfect sense for companies to do something about satellites at the suggestion of the government or the military or security agencies or big business.
Although there were some in the upper echelons of the Hughes company who opposed such nefarious acts that could lead to the discrediting of their own companies, the voice of support prevailed, and the national interests of the United States must be fully respected.
So among the two satellites produced by the company for the Osset. Hughes joined the induction explosive device, such a device. After the rocket lifts off, the main control components of the satellite can be blown up, limited to the capacity and the consideration of detection, the yield of explosives will not be too large, but Hughes engineers believe that regardless of whether the rocket will be affected, the satellite that rises into space will definitely not be able to transmit any ground signal.
Merely. This matter is very secretive, even among the senior management of Hughes, there are only a few people who can know about it, Maximus knows, Harry Ford knows, and a few people know.
However, how did Fan Wuxian know about this?
Maximus immediately soaked his underwear in a cold sweat, and suddenly he found that his wine was blown away by a strong wind. disappeared without a trace, and the silence in the room and the cold gaze of everyone gathered on him made him feel as uncomfortable as pins and needles.
"Guys, I think I drank too much and told such a ridiculous joke." Maximus wiped the cold sweat from his head and said to everyone in a curt. "China's liquor industry is indeed very developed, and the power of this kind of liquor is enough to turn a senior executive of a multinational company into a gibberish in an instant, and my current situation is probably like this."
However, everyone obviously won't believe his explanation, since Fan Wuxian suddenly asked such a sentence for no reason, and Maximus replied such a sentence very smoothly, the connection between the two is seamless, what can this mean?
It can only show that the bombs in the satellite that Fan Wuxian said do exist, since there are bombs in the Australian satellite. So among the three satellites that Fan Wuxian bought. Will it be as clean as he says it will be?
This is a very serious problem!
Fan Wuxian didn't say much, just patted Maximos on the shoulder. With a smile, he said, "Dear Mark, I hope that my satellite will not be a wreck when it is launched into space, and if that is the case, I believe that the compensation will bankrupt your company." ”
Maximoston was covered in a cold sweat and hurriedly assured Fan Wuxian, "Dear Fan, I think there is some misunderstanding in this, our company will not put bombs in any satellite. ”
"Oh?" Fan Wuxi looked at the people in the room and asked with a smile, "But when I asked just now, Mark, you didn't seem to say that, could it be that I have a problem with my ears and have auditory hallucinations?" ”
"Well, it must be so! Auditory hallucinations! Maximus immediately agreed, "People who drink too much alcohol can easily have hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, and other unreal feelings, and I think I may also have a false emotional response, we really shouldn't take drunk jokes seriously, you should know that this is not in line with the general rules of business activities." ”
A general at the base listened to the conversation between the two people and wanted to question Maximus, but as soon as he moved his mouth, he was stopped by the general, who was very aggrieved and wanted to ask why he didn't let himself speak, but he saw the general smiling and pointing at Fan Wuxi, meaning to let him wait and see what happened.
The admiral felt that Fan Wuxian asked such a question unexpectedly, of course, it would not be untargeted, although I don't know how he came up with this seemingly very incredible question, but the admiral thought that with his person, it was impossible to ask such a very embarrassing question, and there would be no follow-up.
Sure enough, Fan Wuxian smiled at this Maximus, and then touched his arms with his hand, as if there was something hidden, he stared at Maximus very unkindly, with a wicked smile on his face, "Dear Mark, I think that although people will get drunk sometimes, there should be no drunk, right?" ”
When Harry Ford and Maximus saw Fan Wuxian take out a small tape recorder from his arms, they had murderous intentions. This Fan is disease-free. It's so bad!
How can anyone drink with a tape recorder in their arms?! It's not clear that you're here to frame people!
"Well, let's hear what this little thing has recorded." Fan Wuxian pressed the rewind button of the tape, and the room suddenly fell silent, only the sneering sound of the tape being reversed.
After pouring the tape, Fan Wuxi pressed the playback button. It was a blank space before, and suddenly Fan Wuxian said. "Oh, I almost forgot that the good stuff should be enjoyed first."
So he pressed the pause button, took out the small earphone from his arms, stuffed it into his ear, and then put one end into the earphone hole of the tape recorder, and then played it again.
This guy is so bad! The people in the room had wanted to hear the replay of the recorded sounds. As a result, no one thought that Fan Wuxi would play such a hand again, isn't this a hanging's appetite! I've seen people hurt, but I've never seen people who hurt people like this!
Maximus was a little anxious at this time, and asked Harry Ford in a low voice, "Did I just say that loud?" ”
"What do you think?" Harry Ford was in a worse mood at this point, he hated the company for making such an old Jewish man senior vice president, and involving him in such an extremely confidential matter, right? Finally poked out a big basket for the company!
Add bombs to the customer's satellite. If this kind of thing spreads, it is not only how big the impact will be on the market, but those insurance companies will be the first to come to the door and track down those cases of failed launches in the past from beginning to end.
Most people think it's impossible, but they just need an excuse. It's just an excuse to hit Hughes and make a profit for itself.
This excuse was actually said by Maximus, who had drunk too much, in public at the banquet, and it was also recorded!
After listening to it for a while, Fan Wuxian smiled, suddenly threw the tape recorder to the general, and then said, "Hehe, dear Mark, although your voice is not charming. But it's worth a lot! But I don't care much about these things. Is there a bomb that is going to be a bird for me? You've discussed it! ”
After finishing speaking, Fan Wuxian shook his hand. walked away.
The people in the room stared at each other, and they couldn't figure out why Fan Wuxian would do this, he coldly overshadowed Maximus, which was equivalent to breaking out the big scandal of Hughes's company, but he easily threw the evidence of this matter to the military, what does this mean? No one can guess.
The admiral was holding the miniature Walkman and suddenly felt a little crying and laughing.
"What a fuss about nothing!" The admiral thought in his heart, Fan Wuxian suddenly played such a hand, it was really beautiful, when the people in Hughes Company thought that he was going to use this as a threat and ask Hughes Company for any conditions, he actually threw up his hands and quit?! But this thing is equivalent to a hot potato, and it is troublesome to hand it over to anyone, and the admiral is holding this Walkman, feeling that he has been used by Fan Wuxian again?
However, he thought about it in his heart, could he use this incident to get some benefits from Hughes? At least Maximus and Harry Ford have such a big basket in their hands, they definitely don't want the company to know about it, and it is also a good thing to take this opportunity to learn more about the research progress of Hughes and their so-called most advanced commercial communication satellite.
"This Fan is not sick, he is really acting like a whimsical and unpredictable!" The admiral shook his head, put on headphones, and after listening to it for a while, he instructed his secretary with a strange expression, "This is important physical evidence, put it away immediately, affix a seal, send it to the confidential room, and send six guards to guard it twenty-four hours a day." It's important to remember that no one is allowed to touch this thing unless I'm physically present. ”
"Yes." The secretary turned the tape recorder with a serious expression, and immediately waved his hand and took the two soldiers with him to take this thing away.
Maximus and Harry Ford craned their necks, watching the incriminating evidence taken away, and they were very depressed, if this matter broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But after Maximus's mind cleared up. Suddenly I felt that this was not the worst thing, if the thing was in Fan Wuxi's hands, it would be more troublesome, because this guy acted in an undisciplined manner, it was all based on personal preference, and if he really released this tape, it would definitely cause an uproar. Now that he suddenly threw things to the senior generals of the Chinese side, this is not a turning point.
Military. can't mess around as unscrupulously as Fan Wuxie.
Maximus's brain immediately kicked off, and he thought about what he could make the other party give up the evidence in his hand, he had some not very important confidential information about the Hughes company in his hands, and if he could exchange these with the Chinese military, it would be much smaller than the loss to the company after the audio tape was exposed.
So Maximos made a color towards Harry Ford, and the two of them thought of one thing at this time, dealing with the Chinese ** side. At least it's much easier than dealing with Fan Wuxi's cunning little villain.
At least in such negotiations, formal diplomatic rhetoric can still play a role, especially the traditional friendship between China and the United States, which can sometimes be used as bargaining chips.
"Mr. Admiral, I think we should consult carefully on certain matters." When the old Jewish man had figured this out, he was much better spirited, and immediately gave his advice to the Admiral with great enthusiasm.
The admiral looked at the two ants on the hot pot who were obviously anxious. But he wanted to pretend to be a foreign devil who looked like nothing happened, and felt very funny, so he nodded in agreement, "Well, don't worry, don't worry." As long as it is under the framework of one China, we can discuss any issue. ”
The two foreign devils immediately became a little dizzy, and said in their hearts, how could this big man be tainted with the habits of a little villain when he spoke? That's not a good sign!
Not to mention that they were all over the place here, but Fan Wuxian left the table directly.
He Yun's task was to follow Fan Wuxian closely and be responsible for all his affairs in the base, especially after Du Pengfei pulled out his gun, he was even more asked to be inseparable, so he followed.
Fan Wuxi looked very happy, and there was something in the innermost part. He Yun listened carefully. It seems that we ordinary people are really happy or something. The tune has never been heard.
"Hey, why did you just bring the recording to someone else? If you keep it, can you threaten the people at Hughes and promise you what conditions? He Yun felt that Fan Wuxian didn't look like a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune, otherwise he wouldn't have carried out this surprise attack and recorded Maximos.
Then after Fan Wuxian succeeded, he easily left the physical evidence to the military, and he completely extracted it from this matter, which really made He Yun feel very difficult to understand, could it be said that Fan Wuxi's personality is actually very noble? Impossible!
Fan Wuxi glanced at He Yun and smiled slightly, "What if you don't give them to them?" Did you see that when I pulled out that tape recorder, the eyes of the military were straight? ”
In fact, the bureau has always been very concerned about Hughes's communication satellite products, so after Fan Wuxian put forward a proposal to steal satellite land, their reaction was so positive. Although China's science and technology have been improving, there is still a big gap in microelectronics and chip design compared with the United States, which cannot be denied, otherwise China's computers do not have to rely on imports from the United States.
Fan Wuxian sent such a good handle to the hands of the military, of course they were more tight.
"Won't you get nothing?" He Yun still felt that he couldn't understand Fan Wuxi.
Fan Wuxi smiled slightly, "If you are willing to give up, if you are not willing to give up, how can you get it?" ”
Maximus and Harry Ford worriedly followed several engineers from the base back to the debugging site where the satellite was located, the work there could not be stopped, and as for the negotiations, it didn't matter if it was delayed, anyway, three satellites would be launched without illness, and there was time to talk.
The base commander followed the admiral to the confidential room, and watched with some puzzlement as the admiral with a strange expression took out a miniature tape recorder, then put on headphones, and after listening to it for a while, his expression became equally strange.
The last two laughed out loud in unison, "Hahahaha-"
The first watch was delivered, and the little wolf went to fill his stomach, and then continued to code words, hoping to get the second watch before twelve o'clock. Ladies and gentlemen, in vain, and the big ones of the monthly passes, please please support it. **********! ~! [To quickly find this site, please search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network]
