“…… We tentatively agree to your proposal, but with one additional condition. Ford has set up an office in China to research the market and explore the possibility of expanding business in the region, and you will need to provide the necessary assistance. ”

Wade replied to Li Lu like this.

He has also been in Huaxia for almost a year, and before he came to Guangming Factory, he stayed at the main factory for half a year. So he knew how difficult it was to open a private factory in China. It is said that employing more than a certain number of people is punishable by law. As strange as Wade was, he also realized how powerful the connections are behind the people who can start private businesses.

He made a report to the family on this as the main condition, and received such a reply.

"As far as I know, three years ago, Ford set up a Huaxia office in Huaxia to explore the possibility of a joint venture to produce heavy-duty trucks. Does Ford need another office? Li Lu expressed his doubts.

Wade said, "Passenger car business. ”

"I see."

Li Lu thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "So, the one who lent me money was a financial company under Ford Corporation?" ”

Wade didn't hide it either, nodding slightly.

"Why don't you lend me more, if you're willing to borrow them." Li Lu smiled.

If it weren't for such a high-level serious venue, Wade would have jumped up and pointed at Li Lu's nose and yelled at you, don't fucking get an inch!

Suppressing the anger, Wade gritted his teeth and said, "Lu, don't go too far. Don't forget, you have only a few Soviet servicemen operating 2S3 guns, not very important technicians and no high rank! ”

Li Lu patted Wade's arm comfortingly and whispered, "Mr. Wade, don't be angry, you listen to me slowly." Don't increase the loan amount, but can you sign an add-on agreement and lend me another amount of money if I can repay the loan on time? ”

Frowning slightly, Wade nodded slowly, "It's not a big problem to sign documents such as the memorandum, you can repay the loan on time, which proves your ability to repay, and then give you a loan, naturally there are not many problems." This is possible. How long you plan to repay the five million dollars, of course, interest is not factored in. ”

"I've already said it, six months." Li Ludao.

Wade smiled, "Lu, don't be kidding, talk seriously." ”

Li Lu said very seriously, "Yes, six months, I'm sure." ”

Wade stared at Li Lu and stopped talking.

How could he believe that five million dollars, repaid in six months, and the debtor was still a small investment company with a value of only about 100,000 dollars. Could it be that Li Lu will use Huaxia coins to buy US dollars to repay? How could Wade not know how strict Huaxia's management of foreign exchange was.

In fact, Wade agreed to help with this, and he was already mentally prepared to accept a bad debt! Although the price is somewhat excessive.

"That's how the contract was signed, and it remains to be seen if I can repay it in six months. Besides, I don't plan to pay it back, I believe Mr. Wade, you are also mentally prepared, aren't you? Li Lu smiled lightly and said in a low voice.

Wade was completely speechless, he was sure that Li Lu was bragging.

Tilting his head slightly and looking at Niu Jun over there, Li Lu seemed to have a good heart, and Niu Jun, who was acting as a translator over there, also happened to look at it, and immediately dodged Li Lu's gaze. Since coming back, Niu Jun has faced Li Lu again, and he has been completely the same as before, speaking in a small voice, not daring to look directly into Li Lu's eyes, and often subconsciously avoiding Li Lu.

Li Lu was so busy that he didn't have time to understand what had changed for the time being.

And Wade's judgment is not wrong at all, Li Lu does not have any certainty of repaying $5 million in six months, but he knows that even if there is a chance that the stock that has grown close to $200,000 in market value has the slightest chance of skyrocketing, it is not a difficult thing to earn $5 million in six months.

Besides, what about bragging, you Yankees don't dare to sentence him to death.

One is willing to borrow, the other is willing to borrow, in the set of jungle survival ideas in Li Lu's mind, he also thinks he has a point.

“…… Okay, now I would like to invite Mr. Wade, deputy general manager of technology of Chrysler Defense Company and head of the foreign technical team, to introduce the battlefield performance of the Asian Tiger tank to the leaders in detail. ”

Over there, Pei Lei finished his speech and returned to his seat, and Wang Jiaqing called Wade's name. Li Lu has been paying attention, so he hurriedly reminded Wade. Wade gathered his thoughts, picked up the folder, and walked to the blackboard.

He first bowed slightly to everyone and said hello, and behaved generously and decently, as if he was not the negotiator who was scheming with Li Lu just now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I would like to thank Mr. Li Lu, Mr. Zhang Weiwei, Mr. Zhao Xu and the unnamed soldiers of the army for providing us with personal security. In the process, there was a soldier who died on the battlefield to protect us, and I learned that his name was Xu Rudong. I am very grateful. ”

Wade said in a deep voice, bowing again, this time at ninety degrees.

There is still a war going on over there, and the leaders and technicians present here are all in a very heavy mood. They know what kind of environment their homeland is facing, and they know that soldiers die almost every day. They who are in the military industrial system do not want to manufacture more advanced weapons and equipment to provide to the troops in the shortest possible time, help the troops win battles, and let more soldiers go home alive.

After sorting out his emotions, Wade said, "Obviously, this is not a sensational occasion, I am only speaking about the actual combat situation of the Asian Tiger tank. I personally followed the combat unit and participated in all the battles at a certain stage. The Asian Tiger was brutally tested, and throughout its use, the Asian Tiger performed very well, especially in terms of mobility and night combat performance. But it also exposed some problems, such as the fact that the battlefield maintenance is relatively cumbersome......"

Wade talked eloquently, and every word he said was an advantage or disadvantage that had been exposed through actual combat experience. What kind of tank it is, pull it to the battlefield and walk around a few times, and everything will be clear. So as we all know, Wade has the most say in this regard.

The leaders listened very carefully, and this is related to the research and development of the second generation of domestic main battle tanks. The ultimate goal is to use the Asian Tiger tank project to accumulate technology and promote the research and development of the domestic second-generation main tank. The domestic second-generation main tank began to establish the project as early as ten years ago, but it has suffered some impacts in the past ten years, resulting in extremely slow progress of the project and great loss of technical personnel and technical data.

Therefore, the eyes of the leaders above are on the Asian Tiger tank project, and by absorbing the technology of the Asian Tiger tank, they will speed up the development of the second-generation domestic main tank.

Artillery and engines are key.

"Mr. Wade, let me interrupt and ask you to focus on the actual combat performance of the artillery." A unit leader who was a grassroots commander raised his hand and said to Wade.

Li Lu was at Wade's side to perform simultaneous translation, ensuring that everyone in the conference room could hear every word clearly. He then interrupted Wade and translated the question from the troop chief.

Wade said, "Mr. Li Lu's understanding is more in-depth, I asked him to talk about it in detail, and I will make a supplementary analysis for specific technical indicators later." ”

The leaders glanced at each other and nodded slightly, in their eyes, such a good young man with a foreign language must be an important technician of Guangming Factory, and it is no problem for him to report.

Wang Jiaqing pointed at Li Lu, "Xiao Li, you report." ”

Zhan Huaming also interjected at this time, and said with a smile, "Xiao Li, I heard that you also participated in the war, and you must feel more deeply, you can talk about it." ”

Li Lu suddenly understood that Zhan Huaming was very likely to compete with Wang Jiaqing for the position of the number one leader of the Guangming Factory after the transfer.

Li Lu and Wade nodded in greeting, walked to the position of speaker, and gave a detailed account of the specific combat performance of the M68A1 108mm rifled gun carried by the Asian Tiger tank, and gave their own suggestions and opinions from the perspective of the commander.
