Chapter 1784 The Director of the CIA Visits
"Zhang, what should I do?" Ellison looked at Zhang Lan pitifully, hoping that Zhang Lan would give him an idea. 9W0W7W8.8C3A4I6h5o7n8g6w7e9n8x0u2e30.9c7o9m8
If it's just himself, then he can naturally ignore these so-called officials who are full of brains, even if these people are leaders at the level of governors in the United States, it doesn't matter, but since he is here to support the Alice Group this time, Ellison naturally understands in his heart that he can't go too far, at least for the sake of the face of the Alice Group.
"Huh? Don't think too much about our feelings, Mr. Ellison, you know, whether you have the intention of investing here or not, the higher the gesture you make, the more arrogant you behave, and the more you will gain in the end, and you have no doubt about that. ”
"But...... Will this really work? Ellison was a little skeptical, scratching his head, a little hesitant, a little puzzled, "If I do this, it really won't cause me any trouble when I enter this mysterious realm in the future?" How can I be completely incomprehensible about this situation? ”
The more arrogant you are, the more you gain? If it is according to this theory, doesn't it mean that if you raise your nostrils to the sky, you will get more than you expected? How could something so ridiculous be in this world? At this moment, Ellison was extremely skeptical that his IQ level had dropped.
"No, no, no," Zhang Lan shook her head, with a thief smile on her face, "Mr. Ellison, if you think about it this way, you are now in a mysterious country with a 5,000-year-old brilliant civilization, and everything you don't understand, as long as you think that this kind of thing is 'Chinese characteristics', it is completely understandable." ”
So that's the case, Ellison suddenly realized
Zhang Lan also smiled very proudly: for those foreigners who have been unable to understand all kinds of strange things in China, which they cannot understand at all, this explanation is simply the best medicine for all diseases, and when they can't figure it out, as long as they think that this kind of thing is "Chinese characteristics", they will suddenly realize: this is what happened
It's just that Zhang Lan felt a burst of bitterness in her mouth.
With Zhang Lan's explanation, Ellison didn't even come forward himself, but just arranged his personal assistant to deal with and deal with these officials, and the news fed back from the personal assistant made Ellison admire Zhang Lan more and more: Mmmm, it's really the same as what this kid said, the more powerful he is, the brighter the smiles on the faces of these officials, and if you hit him on the left cheek, he also took the initiative to put the right cheek up.
This circumstance, for Westerners who attach great importance to the dignity and freedom of the individual, is completely incomprehensible: why did such a thing happen? In their impression, whoever violates their dignity must be regained in any case.
When the staff who joined in later learned from the colleagues who had been operating this at the beginning and asked why this was the case, the previous staff members mysteriously passed on to the professor to solve the puzzles: "You don't understand, do you? This is Chinese characteristics."
It turned out that everyone suddenly realized: the "Chinese characteristics" that the Chinese have been preaching are just that
Many people instantly showed undisguised contempt on their faces, and at the same time kept rejoicing in their hearts: such "Chinese characteristics" do not want to be fortunate that I am not Chinese, if this kind of thing happened to our national political party, I would have been ousted from power by the angry people long ago
Perhaps, this is the so-called "Chinese characteristics".

Jill walked in with a look of surprise on his face, holding a piece of paper in his hand.
"What's the matter?" Looking at the belief in Jill's hand, Alice asked without raising her head.
"Miss, Potter. Goss would like to visit you, I wonder if you can arrange a time? ”
"Potter. Goss? The CIA's one? Alice was stunned for a moment, and put down the pen and papers in her hand.
"Who else could it be besides this Bush Jr.'s eyes and ears?" Jill pursed his lips with disdain, and it was clear that Jill looked down on Potter. Goss, the director of the CIA.
There are probably not many people who can say that the world's most famous CIA director can use this tone.
"So, did you say something?" Alice paused and asked.
"No," Jill shook his head, "but I reckon it's very likely that we came to negotiate a batch of military aircraft that we sold to the domestic military some time ago." ”,
"Not so fast, right?" Alice's ruddy mouth opened slightly, and she looked at Jill in surprise, a little incredulous, "The level of secrecy in the domestic military is too ......" said this, Alice shook her head, some didn't know what to say, in Alice's opinion, this matter has only been a few days, and it is really ...... to let the CIA find the door so quickly
Even Alice didn't know what to say.
Jill keeps pouting, as the person in charge of many practical things, in some things, Jill knows much more than Zhang Lan and Alice, this kind of thing, although it sounds a bit ridiculous, but if you think about it carefully, it seems completely normal, because speaking of which, this is actually a kind of "Chinese characteristics".
"And how do I reply to him?" Jill blinked, "Reject it outright or ......"
"I'll meet him," Alice waved her hand, "it's not a big deal, it's useless to keep these things there, and it's good to exchange them for money." ”
Yes, since the first one has already been sold, it is nothing to sell to the second and third, as long as you can afford to pay for it, then there is no problem at all.
However, according to the little ancestor's point of view, there is no problem in selling it to you, but it is difficult to say what specific configuration it will give you. In the same case, the F-16 is more complete in function and powerful than the second-hand F-16A/B sold to Taiwan by as much as twice as much, and it is still the kind that does not have the capability of ground attack, but the price is at least twice as high as the price purchased by the military by the Americans themselves
This is a trick that not only Americans can do.
Alice Group is not stupid, after all, the models sold by Alice Group, no matter which one it sells to, are not the top models.
As for whether the Americans will want this question, Alice smiled: As far as the scientific and technological level of the Americans is concerned, in fact, for them, electronic technology is really not their biggest headache, and for the Americans, the most troublesome thing for them is actually how to solve the inexplicable crash and speed increase of the V-22 "Osprey" tiltrotor plane.
Although the V-22 "Osprey" tiltrotor is far ahead of other helicopters in the world in terms of speed due to its unique structure, its performance is far ahead of that of helicopters in other countries in the world, but in terms of speed, it only has a maximum speed of more than 550 kilometers per hour, which is really much worse than the maximum speed of more than 900 kilometers per hour of the tiltrotor of the Alice Group.
As long as the power problem can be solved, the other problems are really not too big a problem. Of course, it would be nice to have access to Alice Group's fuel cell technology and electric motor technology by the way.
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Seeing that Alice had already made up her mind, Jill nodded and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute," Alice shouted as Jill turned to leave, "You inform Potter. Goss, keep a low profile, don't get us in any trouble, or he'll be responsible for the consequences. ”
"Understood." Jill smiled and nodded.
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Porter. Goss is really low-key enough.
Ya is the head of the Ford Motor Group of the United States: Bill. Ford's entourage came as a member of his entourage, and even the formalities were also done by Bill. A security guard on board Ford's luxurious private jet. It's really embarrassing to let the dignified director of the CIA appear here as someone else's subordinate, this popular fried chicken in the US intelligence community.
"Miss Alice, it's not easy to see you." In a small conference room inside the large conference room, Potter. Goss said to Alice with a wry smile.
"How could it not be easy?" Alice's face was dazed and puzzled, looking like Potter. Goss's complaint didn't work as well as it should, "If it's difficult, then ...... Porter. Look at you, Mr. Goss, haven't you become my guest of honor now? ”
Well, at this moment, the CIA, who had not dealt much with Alice before, but who already knew a lot about this super-rich woman who was famous in all walks of life in the United States, knew that if he didn't get into the topic quickly, this beautiful girl like an angel would not give herself face.
Given Alice's continued strength, Potter. Goss decided that it was better for him to get to the point directly and quickly, "Okay, Miss Alice, I came this time mainly to verify the accuracy of a piece of information from you: according to the information we have obtained, your group has reached an unprecedented military equipment procurement plan with the Chinese side, including your group's unique and unique aircraft: tiltrotor aircraft, I don't know ...... this news".
"That's right, the message is correct," didn't wait for Porter. After Goss finished speaking, Alice nodded happily and admitted this, "I think this information is the information you got from the Chinese government or the military high-level, now I can assure you that this news is correct, and at the same time, and then I can solemnly inform you of one thing: all weapons and equipment sold to China are openly sold to all countries." ”
Belch...... Rao is Potter. Goss's emotions had already been tempered with steel, but when Alice so bluntly admitted her actions and indicated who these things would sell in the future, Potter was able to do so. Goss's eyes widened instantly, and there was a mixture of disbelief from excessive ecstasy.
"If I am not mistaken, do you mean that you will sell these equipment, no matter which country is willing to pay for it?" After a long time, Potter. Goss's lips trembled, and he asked Alice in disbelief.
"Of course," Alice nodded, looking at Potter. Goss's eyes seemed to be looking at a retarded person, "Not only the United States, but any country in the world, even a papal state like the Vatican, as long as they are willing to take money out of their wallets, we will sell these things to them, does Mr. Potter have any doubts about this matter?" ”
"No, no, no, of course not" Potter. Goss hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, feeling that his heart was quickly filled with sudden happiness, as for Alice's disdainful eyes? Potter, who was already excited and wanted to sing a song. Goss gives selective ignorance.
Happiness came so suddenly, I didn't expect it at all
When he was beaten up in President George W. Bush's office that day, Porter was beaten up by Mr. President. Goss turned gray in his hair for the sake of a perfect solution to the matter.
In order to solve this problem, he first sent a humble letter to Alice through secret channels, hoping to get a chance to communicate with Alice face-to-face. The feedback came back from Potter. Goss's surprise, Potter, who had already prepared to be rejected. Goss was surprised to find that Alice Group had sent him back a message at great speed: he had agreed to his request to visit Miss Alice.
Until this time, Potter. Goss only vaguely saw a glimmer of hope for a solution.
Then, in the days leading up to her arrival, she began to think about how to convince this rich woman who didn't buy anyone's account to open her factory, and even how to convince Alice, Potter. Goss hadn't slept well for days, but who would have thought that he had just spoken, and before he could get to the point, Alice told herself that the Americans could buy the same things they sold to Chinese, as long as you were willing to open your wallets...... For Americans, as long as it is a problem that can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
Doesn't this mean that the work I was afraid of and did before was actually all useless? For a moment, I thought of my previous worries and the efforts I had made, Potter. Goss was mixed in his heart, happy and depressed, and of course, more happy: in any case, this matter was successfully resolved, and his position should be much more stable for some time to come.
It is precisely because of the understanding of the technical indicators and performance of this batch of equipment of the Alice Group that Porter. Goss understood in his heart how important these weapons and equipment are to the United States ** team, which is known as the world's strongest army and is actually the world's strongest army, although the United States has the most powerful maritime combat force and amphibious combat force on the planet, but the weapons and equipment owned by the United States are naturally no problem compared with other countries, but if they are compared with various weapons and equipment developed by the Alice Group...... Alas, don't say it.
Thinking about it, Potter. Goss's mouth was full of bitterness, and he couldn't understand why, with hundreds of years of experience, a first-class art company, backed by the whole country, was not as good as Alice Group, a company that had been developed for less than 20 years, in the research and development of new equipment?
Is this guy okay? Silly? Looking at Potter with a stupid and stupid look. Goss, Alice was secretly amused in her heart, but it was not a good idea to let this guy be stupid here, "Mr. Potter, Mr. Potter......",
"Uh...... Oh, Miss Alice, what's the matter? "After being woken up by Alice, Potter. Goss realized that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly shook his head to clear his head, and asked with some shame.
"It's nothing, it's just that Mr. Porter doesn't know what he's thinking," Alice smiled and shook her head, "In addition, I just want to trouble Mr. Porter to tell Mr. President that if the U.S. ** side wants to purchase some weapons and equipment from our Alice Group to strengthen the U.S. ** team, we have a larger and broader cooperation to discuss, for example, the civil aviation aircraft procurement plan reached between our Alice Group and the Civil Aviation Administration of China." ”
Oh, I see, Potter. Goss understood, and Alice's words meant very bluntly: of course, there is no problem in selling things to you, but you have to pay for some other benefits in addition to money.
Damn these money-only bastard businessmen Potter. Goss scolded in his heart
Porter. Of course, Goss did not think that Alice's real remarks meant that the Alice Group wanted to cooperate with the United States on a larger scale, and he understood that Alice really meant to convey to President Bush through his own mouth: If you want to get our products, in addition to money, you must be prepared to come up with more things.
Alice was talking about "the civil aircraft procurement plan with the Civil Aviation Administration of China". Of course, Goss knows that it is a civil aircraft procurement plan with a total amount of hundreds of billions of dollars, which originally belonged to Boeing and Airbus, and was snatched up by Alice Group by one-third, so that the two companies originally divided equally, basically each accounted for 50% of the order, and suddenly reduced its market share from 50% to 33%...... It is said, well, just that it is said that because of this incident, the shareholders of Boeing and the shell company were sent to the hospital with several cerebral hemorrhages and heart attacks.
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth, Mr. President," though I'm so angry in my heart, but Porter. Goss, however, had to take the "Ninja Magic" to the extreme, and at the same time, Potter. Goss also wants to be able to get more things," Miss Alice, excuse me...... In addition to the weapons and equipment sold by your group to the Chinese side, do you have any plans to sell other equipment? ”
"Other equipment? I don't know what Mr. Potter is talking about......" Alice looked at Potter with interest. Goss glanced at it, and felt interesting in his heart: You are the director of the CIA, and it is your specialty to engage in intelligence, but how can you ...... now?
