"For example, I wonder if Miss Alice has any intention of transferring or licensing your company's technology in the aerospace field?" Gritting his teeth, even though he knew that Alice Group was unlikely to agree to this request, he could think twice, Potter. Goss spoke it out anyway.

If you can succeed, then everything is naturally fine, if not, it is not a big deal, this is originally expected, compared with the gain, it is just a small temptation, it is nothing.

"This one...... Aren't we working together now? Alice smiled, and with a fluttering remark, Potter. Goss's words were blocked, "Of course, we would love to work with NASA, but before we can do that, I think we need to build trust, Mr. Potter, what do you think?" ”

Alice's meaning, of course, it just doesn't work.

"Of course, of course," Potter. Goss sneered, and at the same time wanted to smack himself a few times: What do you have to say when you are idle? It's really full

Thankfully, Alice didn't share with Potter. Goss calculates the meaning of the aftermath, even if this matter is so light and passing.

It's a bit ridiculous and a little incomprehensible, the whereabouts of the director of the CIA should be closely monitored by domestic intelligence agencies abroad, and should be one of the priorities of work, but the funny thing is that because the US government and the CIA have arranged it very cleverly, Porter. Goss's stand-in made several high-profile appearances in the United States, so Potter. Goss secretly came to China to contact the CEO of Alice Group this time, and the domestic intelligence agencies didn't know anything.

I got a satisfactory answer from Alice, Potter. Goss rides Bill again. Ford's private jet quietly returned to the United States, while Zhang Lan and Alice were the same as Bill. Ford exchanged views on a few things.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Miss Alice, you're really generous this time" Bill. Ford shook his head in admiration, looking at Alice's gaze with admiration

Alice's assassination but miraculously safe and sound, although it was blocked by the domestic official from the channel, but just like the mystery of this country, all what happened in this country, no opinion can be completely confidential, less than half a month after the incident, Alice was assassinated when she was playing in a certain place in China, and the news was quickly placed on the desks of dignitaries around the world...... Of course, those who are qualified to know know know, and those who are not qualified to know will still not know.

However, this is not what makes those foreign politicians admire and fear the most, what really makes them feel admired and scolded Alice's black heart is the harsh conditions that the angry Alice has set for the Japanese government: If you want to completely end this matter, in addition to the previous conditions, the Japanese government must give Alice 5% of the annual fiscal revenue as Miss Alice's "shock".

When they first heard that Alice had made this condition to the Japanese, everyone was scolding Alice for being crazy and just an attempted assassination, and that she dared to ask for 5% of the financial income? What's not crazy? But after carefully weighing the strength comparison between the two sides, everyone was surprised to find that Alice Group really had the qualifications to offer this condition to the Japanese.

For a time, the world's major political leaders turned out to be silent

Naturally, it's impossible to hide such a thing from Bill. The world's super-rich people like Ford are also aware of some of the inside stories of this. That's what Ford would say.

"It's just a fluke," said Bill. Ford's admiration, but Alice shook her head, showing a calm expression, "If it weren't for luck, maybe the place where we talked would have to be changed now." ”

Bill. Ford laughed

From Alice's words, he heard Alice's strong confidence: even in the face of the world's most elite assassination activities, Alice can ensure that her life will not be too threatened.

After more than ten years of contact, Bill has already been captivated by Alice's various magical performances. Ford didn't doubt Alice's words in the slightest, and sometimes, Bill. Ford even wondered if God wanted to take Alice's life, would she be able to dodge it?

Over the years, relying on the cooperation with the Alice Group, the Ford Motor Group has firmly occupied the second place among the three major automobile manufacturers in the United States. Ford has always felt that the right thing that he and even the Ford family have done in their lives is to establish a good cooperative relationship with the Alice Group, otherwise how could they be so beautiful today? ,

"Miss Alice, there's something I want to ......" After a round of pleasantries, Bill. Ford finally cut to the chase.

"Mr. Ford, you're here to help the Japanese as a lobbyist?" Alice waved her hand and interrupted Bill first. Ford's words, "If you're a lobbyist for the Japanese, then you don't have to say that, it's not that I don't give you face." ”

"Uh......" Bill. Ford was stunned, shook his head, and smiled, "How is that possible?" The Japanese don't have such a big face...... I would like to ask, does the Alice Group have any plans to build a shipbuilding industry in the United States? ”

Well? Zhang Lan looked at Bill. Ford at a glance: Why did this guy suddenly ask this question? Could it be that the Ford Group is interested in intervening in the shipbuilding industry? Can't you? The market of the shipbuilding industry in the United States has been almost divided, and now that they are involved, it is difficult to say whether they can get orders, even if it is the Alice Group, it has taken a lot of effort to have today's market.

Or rather...... After following the Alice Group to get involved in aircraft manufacturing, the Ford family, which has made a lot of money, wants to insert a foot in the marine transportation tools after the sky and land? This Bill. What good can Ford do when he comes up and mixes it with one foot? Doesn't he himself understand this?

Certainly not as the most successful business family in the United States, Bill. Ford, of course, doesn't fail to understand these truths, so to speak, Bill. Is there another reason why Ford asked about this?

"What does Mr. Ford think? Why don't you speak up? Alice smiled a little bit, Bill. Ford said.

"This ......" Bill. Ford sneered, "Actually, this is not our Ford family's plan, but the intention of the U.S. government, they commissioned me to find out what you mean, Miss Alice." ”

So that's the case, Zhang Lan and Alice suddenly realized

It turned out that the U.S. government and military had taken a fancy to the strength of the Alice Group in aircraft carrier manufacturing, and they also knew that under the pressure of the Chinese government, it was absolutely impossible for the Alice Group's shipbuilding base in Lu Province to manufacture naval weapons and equipment for the U.S. government, but the performance advantages of the ships of the Alice Group were so superior

Since you can't get this power from China, why not just let the Alice Group set up their shipbuilding plant in the United States? No one will be able to say anything at that time, not even the very traditional suppliers of military ships in the United States, because the products that the Alice Group can produce and supply, they will not be able to provide

Indeed, after Ellison purchased from the Alice Group the gambling ship, which was defined as a "cruise ship" and of course a conventionally powered skid take-off version of the American Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, the U.S. government and military conducted secret tests of the ship.

The results of the tests took the US military and government by surprise

In addition to the power system and skid take-off deck used by the Alice Group on this ship, this ship is a cut above the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the same displacement in terms of structure, design concept, and performance.

For the U.S. military and government, the two shortcomings of Ellison's gambling ship are precisely not the problem of short legs? This is not a problem, it is directly on our nuclear propulsion system; Still using a skid take-off deck? That's no problem, can we use our own steam catapult propulsion system?

With the concept and structure and performance of the Alice Group in shipbuilding, combined with the Americans' own power system and catapult system, what kind of terrifying weapon will this be a terrifying weapon for maritime warfare? What's more, don't forget, the Alice Group has also built a maritime mobile research base equivalent to the deck area of five Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and the U.S. government has made a preliminary decision to order one such aircraft carrier from the Alice Group

What kind of combat power is this? When the time comes, who will dare to challenge the global hegemony of the United States? As soon as they thought of this question, these military engineers and technicians who participated in the test couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

In view of the difficulties that may be encountered in purchasing this superweapon directly from the Alice Group, at the end of the report, all the US military personnel involved in the test have consistently stated that the US Government has used all means to relocate the shipbuilding industry, especially the core industry, of the Alice Group to the United States. ,

This suggestion was immediately highly valued by the US government and military

The U.S. government and military research and development departments have no doubt about the seriousness of these scientific researchers' proposals, and it is precisely by following in the footsteps of these scientific researchers that the United States can stand on top of the world's powers. In this case, this matter was naturally arranged as quickly as possible.

But a new problem has arisen, since the U.S. government has this idea, before Porter. Why didn't Goss talk to him about it?

But Zhang Lan and Alice immediately laughed: Potter. That guy Goss is obviously the role of a tinker, how could he possibly know about such a major matter? Even if it was the one he dealt with before, I'm afraid it was more likely that it was because of his potter. Goss's missteps in intelligence work, right? To a certain extent, such a thing is directly related to the global hegemony of the United States, and a "small" CIA director does not carry enough weight.

But...... Zhang Lan was a little strange how the U.S. government found Bill. Ford this guy's head?

Bill. Of course, Ford understood what Zhang Lan's eyes meant, and touched his nose with a wry smile, "Now in the whole United States, who doesn't know that the relationship between the two of us is good." ”

Oh, so that's the case, Zhang Lan suddenly realized

Emotional Americans, this is not stupid, right? Who says Americans are different? Bush Jr.'s grandsons, didn't they just see Bill. Ford and Alice have a good relationship, so they plan to engage in a roundabout policy, planning to "save the country by curves"?

"Miss Alice, if you think it's not easy, it's because I never said it." Seeing that Alice's face didn't seem to be very happy, he was afraid that he was worried that he had picked the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon. Ford hurriedly said to Alice.

"Well, there's no need to worry, I'll think about it." Getting a look from Zhang Lan, Alice nodded, and said slowly, "But I'm curious, what kind of preferential conditions does the U.S. government plan to offer in order for us to invest?" ”

In this way, this is Bill, who has no hope in his heart. Ford, suddenly hearing Alice say this, his heart suddenly overjoyed and happy came too suddenly, he didn't expect that he had lost hope in the first place, but hope suddenly came at this time

Although Alice did not express her position directly, her remarks have already indicated Alice's meaning: as long as the conditions offered by the US government can satisfy Alice, then this cooperation will be negotiated.

To be honest, even if he was prepared for the most optimistic thoughts, in the beginning Bill. Ford didn't expect to hear such a huge piece of good news from Alice's lips.

Quickly gathered up his scattered thoughts, Bill. Ford secretly clenched his fist and told the conditions promised by the US government one by one, "Before I came, Mr. President, let me tell you that if you intend to build a shipbuilding plant in the United States, the government cannot make much concessions in terms of land, but in terms of taxes, the US government can exempt all taxes for the first three years, and within 10 years after the three years, the taxes levied on these shipyards of the Alice Group will be refunded by 30% in other forms." ”

Speaking of which, Bill. Ford couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit: although the tax ratio of the United States is not high compared to China, but because the United States is the most developed country in the world, whether it is for foreign investors or domestic investors, it has always been the same, unless it is the decision of the local government in a very few underdeveloped areas, the conditions for investment promotion and cooperation promulgated by the federal government, there has never been such a thing. Oh my God, tax exemption for three years, and then 30% of the tax paid for the next 10 years and 10 years? How did such a thing not fall on my head?

To put it bluntly, at this moment, Bill. Ford was really naked jealous and envious.

But this guy is not stupid, he knows that as long as he keeps hugging the thighs of Alice Group, then when Alice Group eats meat, he will always get some soup to drink. But......

Bill. Ford glanced at Alice secretly, and the two eyeballs were suddenly shocked and almost fell to the ground: how do you look at Miss Alice's expression, it seems to be ...... Doesn't seem to be satisfied with the preferential terms offered by the federal government?

Sure enough, after listening to Bill. After Ford's words, Alice, who had been frowning, finally spoke, "That's all?" Without? ”

God, hear Alice say that, Bill. Ford felt like he was going crazy, when had the federal government ever offered such favorable terms to individuals? If such a thing falls on your head, God, even if you let yourself kiss Satan's toes, then you will be very happy to ......,

Lord, forgive me, I don't really mean to blaspheme your glory or be ungodly to your faith...... Bill. Ford thought to himself.

But despite the shock, Bill. Ford was surprised to find that he didn't think it was too strange, deep down in his heart, there seemed to be a voice telling him that it was like this, that was it, and that only Alice who reacted like this was the Alice who should be.

"Well, that's it." After cleaning up the mess in his mind, he reconfirmed what President George W. Bush had told him before the machine came, and confirmed that he did not miss anything. Ford said cautiously to Alice.

"Okay," Alice nodded, frowning slightly, "Mr. Ford, please tell President Bush that if it's just such a condition of cooperation, then I'm sorry, I personally don't think it reflects the sincerity and confidence of the U.S. government." ”

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be sure to relay your words to Mr. President," said Bill. Ford nodded cautiously, and at the same time added a sentence in his heart: I also believe that President Bush will definitely show greater sincerity for those incredible weapons in your hands.

Everyone is not a fool, naturally they all understand that the conditions offered before the negotiation and contact are actually very watery, who agreed to the other party's conditions at this time, then who is the big fool of the first day, this point, not only Bush Jr. and Alice understand, Bill. Ford naturally understands this.

"By the way, Miss Alice, may I ask, I wonder if you have any ideas for expanding the production line of aircraft in North America?" Don't want to dwell on this issue any further, Bill. Ford shifted the subject.

Alice Group's aviation equipment manufacturing company in North America is currently producing nothing more than light and ultralight aircraft, although for various reasons, the U.S. government has to purchase aircraft from here for various purposes, and at the same time sells extremely well in the private jet market. Ford understands that the majority of profits in the aviation equipment market still fall on large and medium-sized aircraft.
