"Aren't you going to listen to the price on my side?" Xu Yuan said helplessly.

Elena shook her head and said, "The president won't nod, even if the price you offer is tempting. ”

Although this matter seems to be nothing to talk about, Xu Yuan has never been the kind of person who will give up easily.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke.

"Don't really want to talk about the price? I'm referring to rocket engines. ”

"I said it was okay...... Wait, what are you talking about?! Elena was suddenly stunned and looked at Xu Yuan in shock.

"Didn't I say that clearly enough? The price of a rocket engine. Xu Yuan smiled.

Putting away the shock between her eyebrows, Elena looked at Xu Yuan quietly, and said quickly.

"What do you want?"

According to the materials submitted by the Star Trading Company and the observations of Russian experts, the performance of their rocket engines is more than one level higher than that of the engines that Russia is proud of.

On more than one occasion, Roscosmos has proposed to the president that it would like to order a batch of rocket engines back by virtue of Russia's friendly relations with Qatar.

Although it may not be possible to imitate it, at least it can be borrowed from the following part of the design.

Elena never thought that Xu Yuan would actually agree to sell the engine, so she didn't mention it at all.

Happiness came so suddenly!

Xu Yuan's gaze swept over Elena's body, and said in a playful tone, "Guess? ”

In the face of that undisguised gaze, two red clouds floated on Elena's cheeks, but she soon sensed the banter in that gaze and glared at Xu Yuan fiercely.

"I can't guess."

Xu Yuan stretched out five fingers.

"In five years, within five years, the Russian International Space Station replenishment project will be contracted by Wishing Star Trading, and after five years, we will sell the samples and blueprints of the rocket engine to you at the market price."

It's a bargain to trade a five-year contract for an obsolete piece of technology.

As for why it is said "outdated", it is naturally because when the space elevator is made out by Xu Yuan, all rocket launch technologies will be outdated.

Because of the advent of the space elevator, the launch cost of tens of millions of dollars will be directly compressed to hundreds of dollars.

"I can't give you an answer, I have to ask my superiors first." Elena said with difficulty.

Xu Yuan made a gesture of please.

Elena nodded, stepped aside, took out her phone, and dialed it to the headquarters in Moscow.

After making this call for a long time, I saw that she suddenly looked dazed, and walked to Xu Yuan's side with the phone in her hand.

"Our superiors would like to consult with you personally."

After speaking, she handed the phone to Xu Yuan's hand and took two steps back.

Putting the mobile phone to his ear, before Xu Yuan could speak, there was a strong Russian accent of English.

"Up to three years."

This voice was somewhat familiar, but Xu Yuan couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.

"Three years is too short."

"We have to think about the technology change on our side."

"You can rest assured that even after five years, even after eight years, the rocket engine will still be in the lead." Xu Yuan replied in an affirmative tone.

There was silence on the other end of the line for two seconds.

"Three years, three years later you sell us the engine technology, and the replenishment mission of the ISS, we outsource it to you for eight years for $400."

"Deal!" Xu Yuan said without hesitation.

Although the expression on his face did not change at all, Xu Yuan's heart was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.

40 billion US dollars, he can get the space elevator out in two years at most, and the cost of delivering supplies to the space station can even be compressed to one million a year!

"It looks like we're on the same page." received Xu Yuan's affirmative reply, and the voice on the other side was obviously a lot more relaxed, not realizing that he had been miserably trapped.

"I always feel that your voice is a little familiar, before you hang up the phone, can you ask who you are?" His face was not red and his heart was not beating, Xu Yuan said happily.

"Didn't our Foreign Ministry lady tell you?"

"She only told me you were their superior." Saying this, Xu Yuan was suddenly stunned.

Wait, Hélena uses "we", not "me" superior.

The other side was silent for a moment, and then spoke in a relaxed tone.

"You can call me Putin, and if you have the chance, you are welcome to come to Moscow......"

Holding the phone in his hand, Xu Yuan was stunned.

Wait, it was the President of Russia who was talking to me about business just now?!

And I still pit him?!

……

The 12th quantum satellite was successfully launched, and Xingyuan Trading announced that it would provide paid wireless services for the whole territory to Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Morocco, Malaysia and other countries.

According to the cooperation project with local telecom operators, as long as the user handles the service, they can get 12 hours of wireless experience.

After the experience time is exhausted, users can apply for service packages with different network speeds according to different regions.

At present, Wishing Star Trading Co., Ltd. is discussing cooperation with telecom operators in Berry, Canada, the United Kingdom, France and other countries, and is considering promoting global wireless to North America and Western Europe.

On the other hand, the war between the Source Shadow International Group and the Merkava consortium continues.

However, neither side has made any new moves, but there is a stalemate in the areas where they have already made moves, the Ministry of Justice is still collecting evidence on the anti-monopoly investigation, and the Merkava consortium is still busy saving the fire of the bank.

What is more troublesome is that the company responsible for providing security services for banks has completely upgraded its server firewall and upgraded its defense against hacker attacks.

According to Leng Hui, the bank's upgraded security system is like an iron bucket, and the original loopholes have basically been filled, unless an internal computer can be used as a backdoor, even if there is a quantum computer as a broiler, it is no longer so easy to hack remotely.

After all, they raised so many technicians, and they didn't eat for nothing.

On the other hand, "Ling" collected news about the two companies on the Internet, summarized it and presented it to Xu Yuan.

"The Federal Reserve injected $100 billion into banks, the Pentagon convened a number of cybersecurity companies to hold an Internet security summit, and information security in the financial sector was the focus of discussion at the summit."

"The Federal Reserve actually took action, and it seems that Merkava Bank is stable for the time being." Xu Yuan frowned slightly.

Just as he was thinking about what to do next, Nie Shuying's phone suddenly called.

"Hello? What's up? ”

"Someone is looking for you and wants to talk to you in person."

"Who?"

"Lodge, a shareholder of Merkava Bank."

After receiving a call from Nie Shuying, Xu Yuan immediately went to the company.

He was asked to be interviewed by a representative of the Merkava consortium, who was in an unusual capacity.

After some discussion, the two came to the conclusion that there is an 80% chance that the Merkava consortium's visit is for reconciliation.

In the confrontation with the Source Shadow International Group, they were finally unwilling to consume it.

They lost at least $10 billion for that $1.5 billion freshwater project.

Of course, Xu Yuan also lost a lot of money here, and the most profitable source technology suffered a loss for the first time, which has explained a lot of problems.

But if this battle is carried out to the end, the first to be unable to bear it must be the Merkava consortium.

Even if the Federal Reserve helps, even if they upgrade the cybersecurity shield, Xu Yuan has a quantum computer to support it, and it is only a matter of time before the defense is broken again.
