Chapter 380: Lend-Lease Act
"Falk squid! These damn shitty houses. ”
When Maxwell saw the report of the signing of the Shan-US agreement, he immediately burst out loud.
He had a five-day war with the Eastern Tang people at the Outer Space Conference, but he didn't expect that the Western Continent Alliance had privately signed a cooperation agreement with the Eastern Tang Dynasty-Galactic Alliance.
These days, he has not communicated with Layton and others, hoping to make the Xizhou Alliance change his mind by playing the emotional card and the safety card, in the case of both soft and hard.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he and the Mi Lijia were tricked by the Xizhou Alliance like a fool, how could this make him not angry.
"Mr. Mike, we are in a very passive situation right now, and we must find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible." Alice also had a very ugly face.
"Their agreement has been signed, and the 350 billion Chinese yuan of the Xizhou Alliance will be put into the account of the Dongtang people, if the contract is broken at this time, the Xizhou Alliance will not get a penny back, and they will not give up the quality projector." Maxwell calmed down and analyzed.
"Let's give up the plan to buy a mass projector and cooperate with the Dongtang people to build a mass projector, but we require that the mass projector must be in the territory of Mi Lijia." Alice thought for a moment and said.
"It's unlikely that they'll say yes." Maxwell shook his head and said, if the mass projector is built in the territory of the Mi Li family, the people of the Eastern Tang Dynasty will definitely not agree.
"Let's get in touch with the Dongtang people privately." Alice said unrelentingly.
Although Maxwell knew that Alice was whimsical, she was a member of the federal parliament after all, and Maxwell could only nod and agree to Alice's proposal.
Sure enough, after the two sides made private contact, Alice and Maxwell once again returned in vain.
Even if Maxwell retreated and proposed to build mass projectors in Central America, Zhao Hongxing and Wang Tu insisted that there would be a maximum of three mass projectors, and there would be no more mass projector projects in the short term.
January 12th.
Shanghai Hilton Hotel, venue of the International Conference on Outer Space.
This time, the Mi Li family, Mao Xiong, Tianzhu, and John's family all gave up the idea of buying a quality projector, and instead proposed to lease the quality projector.
"If you want to lease the mass projector, you can only wait for the construction of the mass projector in Wenchang, Qiongzhou." Zhao Hongxing said with a smile.
"You have two mass projectors in Kaohsiung and Pakistan, and we are willing to lease part of the launch." Maxwell said hurriedly.
"I'm very sorry that the Kaohsiung and Pakistan-China bases involve confidential information, and we have no plans to lease them to other countries for the time being." Wang Tu directly refused.
It has been agreed within the Space Development Committee that even if it is a lease, it will delay time, and when the construction of the Qiongzhou Wenchang mass projector is completed and then put into use, the time is almost the end of 2020.
In one year, with the addition of the two mass projectors, the space advantage of the Eastern Tang-Galactic Alliance will become greater and greater.
As for why they agreed to lease the Qiongzhou Wenchang quality projector to them, it was mainly to prevent these guys from jumping off the wall and breaking the net with the Dongtang-Galaxy Alliance.
"But......," Andrew was about to speak, the representative of John's family.
Zhao Hongxing directly interrupted: "Nothing, do you have a spaceship now?" Do you have any supporting facilities? No, yes! You don't have any of that, what's the use of renting a mass projector now?"
"Uh......" Andrew thought for a moment and nodded.
Maxwell and the others also knew that what Zhao Hongxing said was the truth, and the spaceship was indeed a big problem, because the specifications of their spacecraft were completely different from the spacecraft of the Space Development Committee.
Since you want to lease a mass projector, the specifications must be in accordance with the spacecraft of the Space Development Commission, otherwise your own spacecraft cannot be used on the mass projector, and it will be a waste of money.
But when he thought of the specifications of the Space Development Commission, Maxwell's face was ugly, and the technical standards that NASA had worked so hard for decades were going to be overturned overnight, and his liver hurt when he thought about it.
"In addition, the Qiongzhou Wenchang mass projector launch share, the Space Development Committee can take out 30%, 5% of the launch share as a share, after the construction of the mass projector is completed, the auction will be held, and the highest price will be awarded." Wang Tu said with a smile.
"Is 30% too little?" Maxwell asked, frowning.
"It's already a lot, if the timing is reasonable, at least 10,000 tons of transport can be launched into outer space a year, and of course, the Western Continent Alliance also has a 40% launch share." Wang Tu reminded maliciously.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Tu reminded him, Maxwell and the others immediately reacted.
The Space Development Committee took out 30% of the launch share of the Wenchang mass projector, and even if they ate it all, it would be 30% at most.
What's more, as long as there are forces that have the heart to show their strength in the universe, they will not miss this 30% launch share, and the four families of Mi Lijia, Mao Xiong, John's family, and Tianzhu will definitely get at least one copy.
In addition, the Camel Alliance, the Association of Southeast Asia, Judah, Samba and the like are also very likely to intervene. In this way, there are more monks and less porridge, and the competition must be very fierce.
If you can divide a part of the 40% in the hands of the Western Continent Alliance, you can get a larger share of the launch.
"Mr. Leighton, your Xizhou Alliance occupies 40% of the launch share too much, why don't you give 20% to everyone!" Maxwell said, staring at Layton.
Too much? Why don't you go to the Eastern Tang people, they not only have a 30% launch share of the Wenchang mass projector, but also Kaohsiung and Bazhong, their share is 230%, and Layton despises Maxwell and others in his heart.
"Our share of the Xizhou Alliance is not much, there is no superfluous." Layton refused outright.
However, in the face of the joint pressure of Mi Lijia and Mao Xiong, the Xizhou Alliance finally had to come up with 12% of the launch share for auction.
However, the insidious Layton directly divided the 12% into 12 shares for auction, deliberately disturbing the idea that the rice grain family wanted to take the lion's share.
Watching the Mi Li family and the Xizhou Alliance tie the knot, Wang Tu continued to fan the flames: "In order to avoid the illegal use of the mass projector, the Space Development Committee will conduct a comprehensive review of the countries that apply for bidding. ”
Maxwell's face changed: "If you haven't been judged, can't you participate in the auction?"
"That's right, if you don't pass the jury, you're not eligible to participate in the auction." Wang Tu replied with a smile.
"And what are the judging criteria?" Maxwell asked with an ugly face.
"Well! We need to study it carefully, after all, this is a matter of peace and the future of mankind, and we must be cautious. Wang Tu said with a smile hidden in his knife.
Obviously, there is a lot of room for maneuvering in this judging criterion, and the devil knows what kind of guarantees the Space Development Committee will use to judge.
Soon Wang Tu sent a copy of the "Quality Projector Lend-Lease Act" to everyone present.
Maxwell and the others hurriedly studied it carefully, and when they looked at it, they found that the so-called Lend-Lease Act was a big hole, and the evaluation criteria for bidding qualifications were very vague.
In particular, the last sentence: The final interpretation of this bill belongs to the Space Development Committee.
That is to say, if the Space Development Committee says that you are qualified, you will have it, and if you say that you are not qualified, you will not have it.
And Wang Tu didn't give them a chance to choose, if they didn't accept this lend-lease bill, they wouldn't use it to participate in the auction.
