Cai Siqiang didn't expect that just after returning from Lao Li's house after taking a "reassuring pill", he received a call from Mr. Liu, asking him to enter Beijing for an interview. At this time, although Deputy Director Sun Hong did not say anything on the phone, Cai Siqiang still guessed that it was very likely to talk about the current problems faced by SAL.

It's just that Cai Siqiang is very strange, he didn't come to the door to complain at all, Old Man Liu actually took the initiative to summon him, this is more weird, SAL This matter involves too many things, so big that even if it is placed on a big guy like Old Man Liu, it is an extremely heavy burden, it stands to reason that Old Man Liu does not need to take the initiative to take this kind of tricky thing One by one, it is utilitarian to say, if Cai Siqiang and they come to the door, Old Man Liu will release a great favor, but if Old Man Liu takes the initiative to ask, The weight of this favor will be much lighter.

"Duke, what do you think about this?" Cai Siqiang received the news, and had to call Duke to discuss it, he briefly explained the matter, and then asked.

Since it may be necessary to talk about the crisis that SAL is facing now, this matter can be big or small, SAL has a lot of feelings in the hands of Mr. Liu, in addition to Duke's remarkable achievements in military research and development, which has played a vital role in the upgrading of the military's main battle equipment, and it is regarded as a return on official affairs, there is really no interest in private Although Mr. Liu also has 3 children, but now they are all officials and businessmen, but take the academic route, and now he is either working in the research institute or teaching in the school.

This is very rare among the high-level bigwigs at the vice-national level, so Old Man Liu has a high prestige among the high-level leaders, and has become a very important balance point among various interest factions, and it is also an important reason why he can climb to the first person in the army, but without the support of his own interest groups, it is also very inconvenient to do things in many cases, and he is constrained everywhere, so Old Man Liu often needs to use extremely high political skills to move between various factions.

Therefore, if Old Man Liu wants to do something outside his own territory, he has to use his unique influence to leverage all forces to operate, which is naturally not an easy thing. Cai Siqiang didn't understand these subtleties at first, but after forming an alliance with the old Li family, he gradually learned about these secrets of the high-level from this old family.

"You can look at this thing, you have always been better at this aspect of things than me, you are the longest in the brothers" Duke is busy solving the problems in Billem's design, not thinking much about these things, anyway, he has now made psychological preparations for the worst outcome one by one Lost the entire American market, although there is a pain of breaking hands and feet for the SAL consumer electronics industry chain, but the impact on the entire SAL is not too big.

"However, Old Man Liu has always been good to us, you try to follow his old man's wishes in this matter, just return him a favor, we don't have to force anything." Duke thought about it and added, to be honest, he didn't think as much as the old Li family, taking this matter into account with the future strategy of the national economy and people's livelihood, etc., in his eyes, this matter was purely a plot of the CIA against him, the battlefield was in the United States, just above the court, there was really no need to mobilize people in the country.

"Duke, why don't you go with me, to be honest, I always feel a little weird this time, and my psychology is very unsteady." Cai Siqiang heard Duke say this, his psychology was a little bottomless, he knew that although Mr. Liu called him to Beijing this time, he actually gave Duke face, but Mr. Liu knew that on the one hand, Duke was busy solving big problems in scientific research, needless to say, Cai Siqiang also knew that what Duke was making now must also have a strong military use, so Mr. Liu would rather let Duke stay at the scientific research site and not interfere.

If Mr. Liu takes the initiative to take care of things, this is not a return of favors, but a greater favor, in this case, is it acceptance or rejection?

If he hadn't communicated with Eric of the old Li family, Cai Siqiang would definitely have no choice, and there was no reason to refuse this kind of strong reinforcement sent to the door, but now that it has been judged that the national team will take action regardless of whether SAL asks for it, there is no need for Cai Siqiang to take such a big favor.

Although Cai Siqiang knows that Mr. Liu has no requirements for private interests, but the requirements in official affairs often keep Duke busy, Cai Siqiang believes that what kind of space exploration center Duke is engaged in in front of him must also be the meaning of the military, and it is a very secret new weapon that can spend tens of billions of dollars one by one, if you want to say that it is just to look at the stars in the sky, kill Cai Siqiang and don't believe it.

It's just that among the things that Duke does now, there are many things that are highly confidential, and even Cai Siqiang doesn't know, although Dong Feng has a certain involvement in some things, but after entering the military industry, Dong Feng has been cautious in this regard, and there are some things that can't be said that even Cai Siqiang and Zhao Jianwu haven't mentioned, this is not to hide from them, but to protect them, the more you know, the more troublesome it is.

As long as you look at Dong Feng's security measures now, you know that sometimes it is a huge burden to know more secretly, and now Dong Feng's security level is stricter than the provincial and ministerial standards, and going abroad is comparable to that of national leaders, who need to be approved and reported at various levels before they can make the trip.

No way, the international intelligence community knows that D** has now become the most active company in China's domestic military research and development, and now basically the PLA has participated in all kinds of cutting-edge conventional weapons, although Dong Feng, the general manager of D**, does not know the details of research and development, but he is very clear about the progress of related research and development projects, and this alone makes him one of the most wanted prey of many foreign intelligence agencies.

"There's no need, I don't have this kung fu, I'm busy here" Duke rejected Cai Siqiang's proposal, "You don't have to think too much about this, let's just have one principle, don't ask for people, it's a big deal that the American market is lost, and we can't afford this loss." If it's to breathe a sigh of relief, let's wait for a chance to get revenge later, and I still have some way to make some trouble for the Yankees. ”

Since the Americans smeared Duke for using hacking methods to attack, Duke still can't take care of this, and after waiting for a while, he really wants to do something in this regard, and now the Internet is everywhere, although there is no need to expect to get the core things of the Americans on the Internet, but if you find some trouble for the Americans, Duke is confident that he can still do it.

But Duke doesn't have that time yet. Cai Siqiang had to go to Beijing alone to meet Old Man Liu.

As soon as Cai Siqiang arrived in the capital, Sun Hong came to the door and took him to a courtyard in the capital.

"Xiao Cai is here, please take a seat." Old Man Liu saw Cai Siqiang enter the house, smiled and waved hello. "I invited you from thousands of miles away, because I want to talk to you about something, you won't blame me, an old man, for being troublesome."

"Hello old man," Cai Siqiang greeted Old Man Liu respectfully, and then presented a gift box twisted in his hand with both hands, "A little heart is not respectful, and please don't dislike it." ”

Old man Liu glanced at the gift box, it was a box of high-grade Tieguanyin, his face sank, and he glanced at Sun Hong, this glance made Sun Hong can't help but be frightened, Cai Siqiang is so clever, he immediately saw the clue, "Old man, you can't blame Brother Sun, it's the younger generation pestering Brother Sun to inquire, it's just a few taels of tea, it's completely a little bit of the younger generation's mind, if you see it like this, the younger generation won't dare to come to the door next time." ”

"Xiao Sun, this is something you provoked, I will punish you to take it down and quickly soak a pot of it, if the heat is not enough, you go and learn from Vice Premier Wu for a month and then come back." Old man Liu is not uncannibalistic, seeing Cai Siqiang say this, he knows that this is indeed the young man's heart, although he has always forbidden people around him to reveal some of his preferences, but there are exceptions to everything, if a person like Cai Siqiang really makes people come to the door empty-handed, they are indeed a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, chief, make sure to complete the task." When Sun Hong heard Old Man Liu say this, he knew that this matter had been revealed, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, and he was secretly grateful to Cai Siqiang in his heart. Now the Duke line is one of the things that Old Man Liu is most concerned about, Sun Hong knows that if he wants to go out of Old Man Liu's office and take a higher position in the future, it is a very critical opportunity to seize the Duke line, which only needs to look at Qin Tairan's promotion speed.

Although Sun Hong has not yet figured out how to get closer to the Duke line. But for the people around Duke, Sun Hong has studied it with his heart, like Cai Siqiang is one of the objects he focuses on, so when Cai Siqiang asked him about Old Man Liu's hobbies and was ready to do what he liked, Sun Hong showed a little bit of tone. Of course, he knew Old Man Liu's requirements for the people around him, but Cai Siqiang was not an ordinary person, and Sun Hong bet that Old Man Liu would not see outside.

However, before the dust settled, Sun Hong was still a little uneasy, and now after seeing Cai Siqiang's explanation, Old Man Liu really didn't see outside, and a big stone in his heart finally landed.

Since Old Man Liu likes to drink Tieguanyin, Sun Hong naturally put a lot of effort into making tea, so soon he brought a box of good tea brewed with mountain spring water, but he still didn't have his share in the next conversation, which was very rare for Old Man Liu, because Sun Hong knew that Old Man Liu would avoid him only when talking about very special things.

But this kind of thing is pitiful, since Sun Hong served as Old Man Liu's secretary, Sun Hong remembered that this kind of thing could be counted on one hand, and even if Old Man Liu discussed military aircraft with a big boss of the Military Commission, he would not avoid him.

What does Old Man Liu want to talk about with Cai Siqiang to be so mysterious, Sun Hong closed the door gently and exited, while his mind was full of questions.
