After all, the cooperation with the Li family is also a temptation that Duke can't refuse at the moment.

Without the Li family's participation, Duke would not have wanted to enter the mainland's energy supply market for at least a few foreseeable years, no matter how advanced his reactor was, at least it had nothing to do with this market.

Although Duke is confident that it will open a gap from a third world country and enter this promising market, there are now more places in the world that lack electricity, and there are always countries and regions that need cheap electricity, but this road to independence is not necessarily easier than cooperating with the Li family, but may be much more difficult.

Because to open up gaps in different countries, Duke and they have to work with more people to make it possible, and for most countries in the Third World, there are different potential forces in the country when it comes to infrastructure.

The way Duke can think of to open the gap is actually nothing more than to use money to open the way, cooperate and share benefits with local influential latent forces.

There is no other option.

In this way, there are more things that need to be done than the cooperation with the Li family, and the risks in each cooperation are actually not less than the cooperation with the Li family. Where you can open a gap with money, you can't usually count on laws and agreements at all either. Without a tough backer, it is difficult to avoid black eating black.

Marx has long said that 100 percent profit makes people ignore all laws; And with a profit of 300 percent, people will not be afraid of crime, and even the danger of hanging their heads. For third world countries with unpredictable political situations, it is understandably difficult for Duke to take advantage of the tiger's mouth.

Relatively speaking, in this regard, even if the Li family wants to do something, they will not adopt the practice of eating ugly red fruits, but mainly use some commercial operation methods to achieve their own goals.

Since the Li family is still willing to play together within the rules, then things can have a certain degree of predictability, if they can't play others within the rules, then they can only blame themselves for being stupid, or blame themselves for their hard lives, the law of the jungle is no exception, SAL can go to this day, not also on the road of many well-known companies.

In terms of competition within the rules, Duke is becoming more and more confident in Cai Siqiang. In recent years, the rocket-like development and the huge scale that has swelled dramatically have not destroyed the management of SAL and made Cai Siqiang lose control of many powerful subsidiaries, but through a series of acquisitions, he has improved the mixed use of senior management at home and abroad, ensuring the rapid and stable completion of the internationalization process of the enterprise.

The unique shareholder structure and full empowerment have enabled Cai to use generous executive packages and incentives to attract high-end talent, whether it is Sirius or New Nokia, these foreigner-dominated companies are tightly controlled through a centralized management system.

After he solved the architecture and key technologies, Zhao Jianwu's huge R&D resources quickly completed the construction of this system, so that the flow of people, money and materials of various subsidiaries of SAL could be perfectly displayed under Cai Siqiang's eyelids.

Coupled with the fact that Duke also has more than $20 billion of covert reserve funds lurking in the hands of dozens of investment companies in different countries, it can be said that in terms of management and funding, SAL will not leave many flaws that can be attacked.

"Old man Liu, for me, I really never thought about these things, we just want to do things according to the rules and make money cleanly." Thinking of this, Duke also woke up from the initial shock and confusion. But why did Old Man Liu suddenly teach himself such a lesson?

"Are you wondering why I'm talking to you about this today?" Old Man Liu seemed to have seen through Duke's inner thoughts.

Duke didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly, the gap between his acting skills and Cai Siqiang's is far greater than the distance between the Oscar winner and the Golden Rooster actor. What's more, facing the old man in front of him who seems to have insight into everything.

"Two reasons," Old Man Liu stretched out two fingers, "First, now the military can use your technological breakthroughs in many aspects; Second, at some point, I also need to use your economic influence to show my eyes. He was not polite at all, but it was still too simple, and Duke was waiting for him to explain further.

"There is no need to talk about technical matters, new materials, machine tools, computers, and now nuclear energy, these technologies are all the shortcomings that we are now restricting the advent of new weapons and equipment, I can tell you a product change, you will understand how important it is for us, after the application of new materials of Xincheng Special Steel and Hillington Company, the quality and performance of our aero engine samples have been improved by at least 30 percent."

Old Man Liu said this, his mood was obviously a little excited, and even his voice raised a few degrees, "Duke, do you know, this thing has been restricting the development of our war eagle for decades, and now we finally see the hope of a complete solution." If this new prototype passes the test for a longer period of time, we will be able to finalize production, and you need to continue to cooperate and come up with more and better materials. ”

Duke doesn't know much about this aspect of information, he is not a military fan, naturally he does not know that among the mainstream fighters in China, because the quality and performance of aero engines cannot meet the needs, they have been relying on imports, basically the number of fighters and core performance parameters, the other party can be deduced and limited through this engine.

This kind of feeling of being controlled by others is really uncomfortable for Mr. Liu, who has always been in charge of the equipment industry, otherwise he would not be so excited when he talks about these things. However, for new materials, even if Old Man Liu doesn't mention it, Duke will continue to invest in research and development, and his lotus pile will be advanced to a higher power, and the material performance required is not worse than that of these military industries.

"The second aspect is the economic reason, due to the special military system, it is inconvenient to participate in economic affairs, many military enterprises have been transformed into local areas, and their own children who are not able to do so are really incapable in this aspect, so in the economic aspect, there has been a lack of influential and weighty economic forces to support their own ideas, resulting in some matters involving investment It is difficult to speak.

For example, although I have been calling for investment in the research of new materials for many years, there has never been a group of sufficient weight willing to invest vigorously, which is equivalent to vain. We have not been able to produce many key materials in the military industry, which directly leads to the inability of some of our key equipment to break through.

Therefore, I need someone to support it, of course, not to say that everything is invested by one company, but after there is a certain amount of initial investment, it will be convenient to win the policy support of the state and expand the production and research of these results. For example, your machine tool industry, once you break through the technical barriers, I will open my mouth to ask for policies, which have a certain production capacity and have a relevant technical foundation of the enterprise merger to Shenda machine tool, as soon as possible to form large-scale production. ”
