Chapter 980: Minesweeping Equipment
"Do you remember where I met you?"
"In Vietnam. What, are you going there again? ”
"This time I went to Laos and Cambodia. Two of my brothers were on leave without pay and specialized in the timber business, and when they went to Laos and Cambodia last year, they found that there were also a lot of huanghuali that could be used in this business. ”
Wuyang said: "It is about the same latitude as Vietnam and Myanmar, and there should be Huanghuali, but why have I never heard of it?" ”
Du Bin said: "Laos has always been relatively closed and has not had much contact with the outside world, but now it is said that it will also be open to the outside world, and outsiders can invest and buy resources." Cambodia is a free country, but after so many years of war, hundreds of millions of landmines and some unexploded bombs are still left, and thousands of people are killed and injured every year due to the accidental detonation of landmines and bombs. Laos' landmines have not been fully and systematically cleared, which is why their huanghuali has been able to survive. ”
"If we go to cut down huanghuali, don't we also have to take great risks?"
Du Bin smiled and said: "That's for sure, but risks and opportunities coexist." Laos, Cambodia's Huanghuali, so far has not been cut down, the number must be large, and the purchase price is not high, as long as we find a way to clear mines, we can buy cheap Huanghuali, this risk, is still worth taking. ”
Wuyang remembered that Huang Ke's research institute could produce demining robots, and while arranging for him to produce them immediately, he obtained the qualification to go to logging through formal diplomatic channels, and it could be implemented soon.
The reason why it is necessary to follow the formal diplomatic route. The main thing is that demining is too difficult. Huang Ke Research Institute's demining robot. The main body is only 60 cm wide and 40 cm long. Coupled with the forward extension of the robotic arm, it is only 1.2 meters and weighs less than 100 kilograms, which is completely capable of demining in desert areas like Iraq, but in tropical jungle areas such as Laos and Cambodia, the war has stopped for decades, and the trees have grown. Such a little guy is not used at all. Huang Ke's research institute also has a sample, which is a demining tank produced by the United States, that is, two front reach arms are installed on the main battle tank, which are similar to the front reach arms of bulldozers, but instead of shovels, two rows of large metal balls. The metal balls weigh half a ton each, and roll all the way through, whether they are anti-tank mines or anti-infantry mines. will all be detonated. Some shrubs and small trees were knocked down casually. Only large trees and cliffs can stop it from progressing. The entry of such a behemoth into the territory of another country without the approval of a sovereign state is bound to give rise to international disputes.
"Du Bin, how are you going to go in and cut wood?"
"Boss, my brothers don't have this power, so I'm here to report to you. They went on their own, they were accidentally blown up, their lives were gone, what do they want money for? If your company comes forward, start-up capital, demining equipment, you can definitely find it, and things will be much easier. ”
Wuyang thought for a while and said: "Our company can do all this, but we lack such people." There are many people who dare to take risks, but few people who understand Huanghuali. Can you entrust this matter to your brethren? If they agree, what are the conditions? ”
"If they can get the formalities done, cut down in the name of justice, and the safety is guaranteed, of course they are willing to preside over it. Their conditions are not high, and they cut down Huanghua pears, and give them one or two every year. They only went to three people, and the expenses were not very much. ”
"It's okay to spend more, the main thing is to get something. With the harvest, you will also be given one or two every year. Du Bin, this matter can't be rushed, the diplomatic channel has been passed, and the demining equipment has been manufactured, and I will inform you. ”
"Okay. My two brothers passed after the Chinese New Year, and we had to look for Huanghuali first to see how many there were and where they were distributed. ”
"If it's dangerous, don't go."
"Go to a local person who is familiar with the road to lead the way, just take the big road, there will be no problem. When the demining equipment arrives, you will be able to avoid taking the wrong road. ”
"It's okay, the vigilance must be high, and you must not take it lightly."
"Okay. Boss, I'm leaving. ”
After sending Du Bin out, he immediately called Huang Ke, "Xiao Huang, last time I saw a tank minesweeper from you, can you buy a few?" ”
"What do you want to do with it?"
"It must be used for mine clearance. Just now, I was invited to go to Laos and Cambodia to buy huanghuali, but they were full of landmines left over from the war, and they had to be cleared first. ”
Huang Ke said: "The last time I bought this car, it was also a coincidence. This kind of tank is people's standard equipment, and there are very few of them, and it is estimated that it is difficult to buy them again. But it doesn't matter, I can arrange for someone to go to Russia or Germany, contact the tank manufacturer, and ask them to modify it. Russian and German tanks are no worse than American, and it is not very difficult to manufacture and install this minesweeping equipment. ”
"Xiao Huang, it's not that easy, it's an arms deal." Wuyang used to buy Russian submarines and missiles through friends, which were used to salvage shipwrecks and island defense, and when he heard that he could buy them from Russia, he wanted to continue to find people, so he didn't have to trouble Huang Ke.
"You can rest assured, arms smuggling in the world is now an open secret, as long as you are willing to give money, you can get the most sophisticated weapons, let alone a few tanks, or for mine clearance, for peaceful purposes."
"Okay, you can get 5 first. Xiao Huang, the forward mechanical arm and steel ball, are often bombed, and you have to prepare a few sets of backups, otherwise you often have to wait for accessories. ”
"Boss, this kind of mechanical arm and steel ball are made of alloy, and the strength is much higher than that of mines, anti-infantry mines are not fine at all, and anti-tank mines are just leaving a white mark. If it's negotiated, I'll let them do the alloy analysis. ”
Wuyang said: "This alloy composition is a valuable trade secret, can we not disclose it to them, let our own metallurgical enterprises analyze and produce, buy a tank and come back to install it." ”
Huang Ke said: "Then it's better to buy tanks in domestic military enterprises." It is said that the new domestic tank is very good and can completely replace other people's. We are such a big country, arms exports. It's not as good as a small country. Let's support the development of national industry. ”
"It's for the best. You go and get in touch and be able to supply it by October this year at the latest, when the dry season arrives. ”
"Okay, there will be results in these two days, if you can't contact in China, go to Russia or Germany to contact to ensure that you can have something to use on time."
Hung up the phone. Zhu Jiaxiang came in. "Secretary, I came here without an appointment, and I didn't disrupt your work schedule, right?"
"It doesn't matter, I don't usually have particularly important work, so I don't make arrangements. Would you like to sit down and go for a walk with the other comrades? ”
"No, in two days, I will work with Secretary Han to officially give New Year's greetings to the leaders of the four major families in advance. However, I am a little embarrassed that I don't bring anything to cover my hands now. ”
"There's a process to everything. It's good to get used to it. Come, drink tea. ”
"Thank you. Clerk. I'm here today to treat you to dinner. ”
"What are you doing with that form? I invite you to eat in the cafeteria, a simple four dishes and one soup, save trouble. ”
Zhu Jiaxiang smiled and said: "I know you won't go, but the children have to ask me to come, so I have to come hard, look at this ......"
"Li Xuan and Li Ying are back?"
"Li Ying came back from winter vacation, and Li Xuan arrived home yesterday. When I came back, I wanted to invite you to dinner and thank you. ”
"Thank me for what?"
"You have encouraged her, her training performance has been improving in the past few months, and she has now signed up for the 50-meter, 100-meter butterfly and 4×100-meter relay training, according to the training results, she can definitely participate in the competition in these three events, and the leaders and teachers all say that it is very likely to win the championship."
"Yes, a good boy, promising."
Zhu Jiaxiang said: "She is 20 years old this year, and next year's competition may be her last time to participate in the Olympic Games, so she should give it a go." However, those who engage in sports, I am afraid that they cannot have much hope for how much success they have. If you win the Olympic Games next year, it is best to go to a university for a few years, get a diploma, arrange a job in the future, and then live a stable life. If you can't win the championship, you will definitely retire next year, and the country won't care about anything. Secretary, the child likes you, listen to you, or ask you for more help. ”
"Jiaxiang, the child is young, and he is hazy about the affairs of men and women, we are adults, can we be confused?"
"Secretary, what you say is reasonable, but we, as parents, can't control our children, so we can't help it. Even if you do me a favor and fool the child, you will fool her until the end of the Olympics next year, and then let her go her own way. ”
"Jiaxiang, it's okay for you to let me fool, aren't you afraid of making the fake come true?"
"As I said, after the Olympics, we'll leave her alone. Now she has to train, and if we give her a slap in the face, we will definitely ruin her, so we can only go with the flow, anyway, we have fulfilled our responsibilities as parents. We both came from a young age, and at that time the rebellious psychology was very serious, and my parents said that if I went east, I would prefer to go west. If my parents left me alone and let me go, I might have gone east. Life is such a short few decades, and it is a blessing to be able to live a few years as you like. What happens in the end, parents can't care about it for a lifetime. ”
"Well, go to dinner with the future Olympic champion. It's only past 10 o'clock, it's too early, and then drink tea. ”
Zhu Jiaxiang said: "Secretary, thank you for being able to appreciate the light. But I'm still in trouble. ”
"What's the trouble? Is it Liying's business? ”
"That's right. This child turned out to be very cheerful, and since he knew that it was not our own daughter when he was in junior high school, he talked a lot less, and he was stuffy in his heart. The academic performance used to be the middle level of the class, since then, the results have improved by leaps and bounds, the midterm exam is the 13th in the class, the end of the semester to the 13th in the grade, graduated from junior high school, the second in the grade was admitted to the city No. 1 middle school, and the college entrance examination was admitted to Fudan Medical College with the third place in the city's science department. ”
"Such a good boy?"
"That's it. When she came back from winter vacation this time, her personality suddenly changed, and she became talkative and smiling, her mother asked her if she was in love, and she said no, she just talked to Brother Li on the phone. ”
Wuyang's old face turned rare red, "When we talked on the phone, we just talked about the weather, study, or something, and we didn't talk about other topics." ”
Zhu Jiaxiang said: "Secretary, Li Ying also said so. What may have caused her misunderstanding was that you gave her her phone number. After she got in touch with the employees of your family company. Those sisters were very enthusiastic about her. Give every care you to, and she will mistake you for being interesting to her. ”
"I said, let them take care of her, Li Xuan is your daughter after all, and she has no relatives in the East China Sea, but I didn't expect it to cause a misunderstanding."
"When she came back, she yelled that she wanted to call you to make an appointment, and her mother and I persuaded her that Lixuan would come back and make an appointment together. This was only held down for a few days. ”
"Jiaxiang, this is really your trouble, what are you going to do?"
"Li Ying is different from Li Xuan, after all, she is an adopted daughter, and she has no competition tasks, so it is enough for her to complete 5 years of undergraduate study. Secretary, this is my trouble, but if I have your help, it will not be a trouble. You must lend a helping hand. ”
Wuyang said, "How can I help?" made Yihe full of wind and rain in the city and made himself stink. I'm afraid it still won't help. ”
"This can only be discussed between you and the children, and we husband and wife will not talk nonsense. As long as you're happy. ”
"Jiaxiang, you're fooling around."
"Secretary, the current atmosphere is still about chastity, and when we must abide by the three obedience and four virtues? Forget it, let's go. The children are waiting in the car in the underground parking lot. ”
Zhu Jiaxiang got up to leave, Wuyang greeted Hu Yunping and Xu Zhengliang, didn't let Xu Zhengliang go to drive, and went downstairs by himself. There is a car from home in the parking lot, and sometimes there is no need for a bus to do some private business. It is true to say that the distinction between public and private is false, and it is true that you don't want to be noticed.
As soon as she opened the car door and entered, Zhu Lixuan opened the back door and got into the car, and Zhu Liying was only half a beat slower. "I didn't see you just now, where did you come from?"
Li Xuan said, "We are in Dad's car." See you out of the elevator. ”
"Where are we going?"
Li Xuan said: "You promised to give me the shares of the gold mine, it should have been produced by now, let's go over there and have a look, okay?" ”
"Okay. Hey, what's going on with your dad? ”
Li Ying said: "When we fall in love, what does he mix with?" ”
Wuyang looked back at the two sisters, Li Xuan's complexion was darker than last time, Li Ying's plump face was white and tender, the fluff was clearly visible, and when she said witty words, her face was flushed, looking pink, and her big black eyes were breathtaking.
"Brother Li, are we beautiful? Is it cute? Seeing Wuyang staring at them, Li Ying said again.
"Pretty is for sure, cute, I'm not qualified." Wuyang turned his head and started the car.
"Brother Li, I am very familiar with several sisters in the East China Sea, and I have become sisters who say everything. We all know about you, and we don't want you to do anything, just treat us like our sisters in the future. Can we call you Afternoon Sun? Li Ying said.
"If you take a name, you can call it however you want. However, is the life of Zhuqing and their families what you want? You'll have to think about it. ”
Li Ying smiled and said: "Sister Zhuqing, Sister Guo Jia, and Sister Mingfang, they live like fairies." You can go to work or not, you have money in your hands, as long as you have a new car, clothes or something, you can buy it immediately, you don't frown, go home from work, the nanny gets everything right, wash your hands and eat, and then you go to the park to wander around, Saturday, Sunday, occasionally come to a card game, the child doesn't have to care. If I graduate from medical school in the future, I will have more spare time to study medicine and improve myself. ”
"It's just a superficial phenomenon. Liying, you are studying medicine, you may know that when women reach their age, they are the most vigorous in some aspects, but they are far away in the East China Sea, and it is rare to go home once or twice a year. ”
"Those businesses can be managed by others."
"After all, I'm not at ease, business, it's just going against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat."
Li Xuan said: "There is already so much money, it's okay not to do business." ”
"But even if you stay at home, you can't stay with me every day, and I have a lot of women."
Li Ying smiled and said: "But what are these compared to a lifetime of hard work?" Most women are busy from Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday have to do housework, but also send their children to this class and that class, and when the children grow up, they are old, and they have not enjoyed a day of easy life. Don't talk about anyone else, our mom is like that. Because it was a girl, my grandparents didn't help a little, at that time there was only one room in the house, and I couldn't live at home if I hired a nanny, so I still had to get up at night to take care of us. ”
Wuyang said: "At that time, including now, most people came over like this, and it can't be said to be bitter. ”
Li Xuan smiled and said, "But we want to live a better life." Wuyang, Li Ying said, in your family, giving birth to girls is more popular, is it true? ”
"Yes, the boy has to divide the property, and the girl just marries."
Li Ying said: "You are talking nonsense. Sister Zhuqing told me, you are very powerful, basically you give birth to boys. ”
"You say that, too?"
"After you told me my phone number, I went to Sister Zhuqing and lied to them that I was your girlfriend, and they all believed it, so they didn't hide anything from me. Wuyang, I don't want you to take the name of a boyfriend for nothing, but we haven't even held hands. Is it parking, let's do something between boyfriend and girlfriend? ”
"No, let's keep this pure relationship. You are a college student, it's okay to fall in love, Li Xuan is not allowed to fall in love, next year's Olympics have passed, let's celebrate Li Xuan together, and then we can't be pure anymore. ”
Li Ying said: "Li Xuan, remember, Wuyang wants to celebrate your achievements, but you have to train hard and compete well." ”
"Liying, don't worry. Ever since Wuyang said that he would give me a share in the gold mine, I knew that I had entered his eyes, and the momentum of training was enough. A girl, a woman, can win glory for the country, it is only these two years, and she must fight. After retiring, I will be at home with my husband and children, and I will serve the afternoon sun comfortably. ”
Wuyang said: "Li Xuan, thank you for having this heart. You have to train hard, but you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and don't exhaust yourself and get tired. ”
"Don't worry, the guidance is better for us than our parents, although the training is strict, but the care is meticulous. As long as you listen to them, you'll be fine. ”
"How do you schedule your training, is it tight?"
"I train six days a week, six hours a day, and after I participate in three events, I have to add two hours in the evening, and I also take the initiative to practice for a few hours on Sundays."
"Are there many teammates like you who participate in three events?"
"Not much, usually just two projects."
Li Ying smiled and said: "Wuyang, our Li Xuan is now the absolute main force, the favorite to win the championship." ”
Li Xuan said: "Winning the championship can only be said to be hopeful, not popular." There is still a gap between our swimming and traditional powers such as the United States. Fortunately, it will be held in our country next year, and we are more accustomed to the venue, temperature, etc., and we also have an advantage psychologically, so there is still hope. ”
Wuyang said: "It is said that many athletes in the United States are amateurs, is that true? (To be continued......)
