If he hadn't come in with consciousness, Li Lu would have thought that this was a charity gala in the 21st century.

In this slightly classical-style ballroom, all the décor is completely different from the atmosphere of the 80s that Li Lu has felt in the past year.

The charm of the cosmopolitan city is about the same, and even during the Anti-Japanese War era, it was still possible to sing and dance safely and get drunk and drunk.

The generous and decent host was invited from the TV station, and the appearance of shaking his head and talking seriously made Li Lu have the illusion of entering the scene of the elementary school party, and at the same time, his consciousness also returned to the situation in the eighties.

The previous part was very boring, and it was a long story, if it weren't for a large number of beautiful girls, Li Lu would feel very depressed. Zhang Weiwei and Huang Guanghui obviously won't be moved and bored, the excitement in their hearts, the first time they saw such a grand scene, they had to blow it when they went back.

Wade and Lloyd seemed to be intentional, sitting next to Li Lu on the left and right, and the two took turns talking to Li Lu from time to time, and the topic slowly turned to the current foreign technical cooperation in China that is in full swing. There is no doubt that Wade appeared in Shanghai for the McDonnell Douglas aircraft project, and Lloyd also wanted to seek cooperation opportunities on behalf of MBB.

Apparently, Li Lu was more interested in Lloyd.

Who told him that the McDonnell Douglas aircraft project would eventually be a failure, but MBB is different, and now it has not started to cooperate with Huaxia, and the project has not been seen, so it cannot be said to be a failure.

Unexpectedly, Li Lu was thinking about how to cut into this topic, but Lloyd took the initiative to kick it out, he said, "Mr. Li, Wade told me that your company is very strong, I don't know if you are interested in developing in aviation?" ”

Lloyd was also bold, and he obviously knew that in the case of China, there must be government support behind this kind of project cooperation in aircraft development, and it almost took the strength of the whole country to have that kind of strength. The reason why he took the initiative to mention Li Lu was because his perception of Huaxia was that any powerful enterprise was supported by the government.

Don't forget, Wade is the highest representative of Chrysler Defense in China, and most of the profits of the Asian Tiger tanks purchased by Iran's Puda Company belong to a consortium of foreign enterprises headed by Chrysler Defense Company.

Therefore, Wade is very aware of Li Lu's current energy.

It is not that there are no basic conditions for engaging in aviation aircraft, and the most important thing is to hold a large amount of US dollar foreign exchange.

Even if he hadn't met Li Lu in Shanghai, Wade would have taken Lloyd to the dry port to look for him - that man was stupid and had a lot of dollars.

Li Lu said to Lloyd, "We are a defense company, but if it is related to defense, BB Company is a well-known aviation aircraft development company in West Germany. ”

Lloyd shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Li, we are interested in Asia's huge passenger aircraft market, military aircraft, and we have no plans to get involved in the short term. ”

It seems that there is not much change from the history of another time and space, Li Lu nodded slightly, glanced sideways, the auction has begun on the stage, and the way in which the movie stars lead out antique paintings, each movie star is responsible for the auction of an antique painting, and at the same time acting as an auctioneer, which is also quite creative.

Li Lu was not very interested in this, thinking that he would just bid for an object and donate the money later, so he concentrated on chatting with Lloyd, and he said, "I still trust MBB's technology in civil airliners, but I don't know how much Mr. Lloyd knows about China's aircraft research and development projects at this stage?" ”

Lloyd sighed slightly and said, "Mr. Li, from my personal point of view, I think it's a pity that your domestic large aircraft project has been canceled. I've been in Shanghai for more than a month and had the pleasure of visiting one of the prototypes, and overall it's really good. But the project was denied subsequent funding, and in fact it was already in name only. ”

There was a round of applause, and the first auction item was won by a gentleman, and everyone responded with congratulatory applause.

After a pause, Li Lu and Lloyd applauded politely.

The banquet hall fell silent again, and Lloyd said in a deep voice, "Huaxia is a big country, and it is very short-term to rely on the introduction of aircraft, and it should have its own research and development capabilities." Mr. Li, we at MBB have proposed to cooperate in the development of a 100-seater passenger aircraft, but the authorities in your country are not enthusiastic about this, and they prefer to cooperate with McDonnell Douglas. ”

After a slight hesitation, Lloyd whispered, "Mr. Li, do you know anything about the McDonnell Douglas project?" ”

"I've heard a little." Li Lu nodded slightly.

"Producing non-technical components such as the tail, the door, and the mid-section fuselage will not help your country master the technology of aircraft development." McDonnell Douglas' sincerity is debatable. ”

He can say this, whether it is out of the straightforwardness of the technicians, or because Wade has more trust in Li Lu, the most important thing is that even a foreigner like him can see the problem, but sadly some people in China still firmly believe that it is better to buy than to build.

Li Lu didn't even tell Lloyd that they were not only going to stop the big plane project, but also to destroy all the data and dismiss the R&D team that had gathered the country's elite.

That's why I'm here.

He just wished he had brought enough money with him.

"Mr. Lloyd, would MBB be willing to cooperate with my company in business-to-business cooperation? I mean, in the absence of other endorsements, there is no diplomatic negotiation, pure cooperation between companies. Li Lu frowned and asked.

Lloyd shook his head slightly, "I can't give you a definite answer, but I personally think it's okay, provided that your company has the basic conditions." I'm afraid you're not referring to Red Star Defense? ”

"That's right, it's not Red Star Defense." Li Lu said slowly, "Even, we have to sign a secret cooperation agreement." ”

"That's impossible." Lloyd said.

Li Lu whispered, "What if I make it a condition for cooperating in the development of oil fields in the Persian Gulf?" ”

Lloyd froze.

"Do you know about the Nanu area, preliminary exploration has shown that it is very likely to be a super oil field." Li Lu whispered.

"You, Mr. Li, you, you mean, the exploration and development rights are in your hands?" Lloyd didn't believe it and stared at Li Lu.

"Okay, let's congratulate Zhao Gongzi on winning this Ming Dynasty Ruyao teapot!"

Speaking into the microphone is a tall and graceful woman, there is an auction item on the stage, she pointed at it with a slender jade finger, and her voice is sweet, "Zhao Gongzi won this item at a high price of 20,000 yuan, congratulations to Zhao Gongzi, on behalf of the soldiers on the front line, I thank Zhao Gongzi for his generosity!" ”

A personable young man with a slanted mouth stood up and generously waved his hand to everyone present.

Li Lu looked over, but saw that Zhao Gongzi was sitting at the main round table in the center, wearing a white tuxedo, combing a shiny big back, he was quite handsome, and his style was quite like the Shanghai Tang bigwigs in the thirties. It's just that Li Lu keenly discovered the frivolity and violentness between this person's eyebrows and eyes. Judging from the hypocritical compliments of the people around him, he could tell that this young man's family background was certainly not simple.

Raise your hand and go out with 20,000 yuan, how can it be an ordinary person.

Zhang Weiwei found that Li Lu was staring at that Zhao Gongzi, his eyes rolled, he turned his head to a local state-owned enterprise cadre accompanying foreign businessmen on the side, and asked in a low voice, "Who is that person?" So rich. ”

They were brought by Wade, and although the escort at this table felt strange, he did not take it lightly. is so familiar with the high-level representatives of foreign businessmen, maybe it is the son of some family, although it looks rustic.

Therefore, he politely whispered, "He is the son of Vice Mayor Zhao." ”

Zhang Weiwei suddenly understood, smiled and thanked him, and stopped talking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the grand finale of the evening." The host walked out and said enthusiastically, which immediately mobilized the emotions of hundreds of people in the banquet hall.

The host introduced, "The next auction is the last donation of tonight, and it is also the finale of tonight!" ”

He paused, and the audience was very quiet, and all eyes were on him.

This party was led by the Organizing Committee of the Flower Rooster Award, and naturally a large number of movie stars and everyone from the literary and artistic circles participated. The people who were in charge of introducing the auction items and making guest appearances as auctioneers were all actresses with good faces, and they were all famous.

The host is very good at whetting his appetite, but he doesn't dare to go too far, there are many big people sitting in the audience, and he can't afford to offend any of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure some of you have already guessed." The host said loudly, "The donor of the last auction item is Mr. Lo Wai Kwun. Mr. Lu Huiguan is the chairman of Nanyang Rubber Group, and the hotel where you are here at this time is also the property of Chairman Lu. ”

He smiled slightly, "Chairman Lu donated a famous painting from his collection - the water hibiscus picture of the Song Dynasty!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, and those who did not understand the value also pretended to express their shock. Obviously, there are many knowledgeable people here who are engaged in art, and some famous paintings have been heard of to a greater or lesser extent.

Song Dynasty's "Out of the Water Hibiscus Picture" is a fan painting, the painting is actually very simple, a lotus, but very exquisite, the author's pen power fountain generally emerges from the feeling, fully embodies the freshness and refinement of the bud, hence the name of the water hibiscus.

Li Lu was shocked, he knew very well that this painting was a national treasure-level famous painting, and it was a priceless treasure that should be collected by the National Museum, but it would appear on this small charity auction night.

All the antique paintings that were auctioned off in the previous auction were not even qualified to set off this painting.

How did Lu Huiguan get this painting?

"In order to match this painting, let us use warm applause to invite the water hibiscus picture, and the winner of the 13th Flower Rooster Award for Best Actress - Miss Bai Xue!"
