Chapter 292: Conferring a knighthood and meeting beauty
After the meeting with Hua Lao, Li Qinghua stayed alone and discussed with Su Ming about the next batch of Thor procurement, and at the same time asked Su Ming to agree to the technology transfer that he had agreed to before, Su Ming was a little depressed, and asked him: "How do you ask me to transfer technology to you, I let you study it yourself, but you can't research it, how can you blame me, in the past, I didn't have centralized technology in my own hands, I purchased others, and now I have my own, I have worked hard to research it, Just because you buy dozens of planes cheaply, I have to transfer them to you, how is it possible? ”
"Mr. Su, this is what you once promised." Li Qinghua didn't dare to call Su Ming Xiaosu anymore at this time, but called Mr. Su seriously.
"I promised, the promise still counts, as long as you can complete the centralization, I can still only supply your Thor body, don't blame me if you can't do it, technology transfer is impossible, I finally researched it."
"Let's not talk about the centralized technology, can Thor's body manufacturing technology be transferred?" Li Qinghua then asked, any kind of key technology is not willing to be controlled in the hands of outsiders, this is the thinking that the Chinese are used to, concentrated technology is being studied anyway, Su Ming also agreed that it can be replaced after having it, Li Qinghua hit the idea of Thor on the body manufacturing.
"Of course you can, but it doesn't include the PW-S dual-energy engine." Su understood him at a glance, or not to say that the people's hearts are not exhausted, and they haven't said it well here, and they think of it again.
"Well, forget it." Li Qinghua smiled bitterly, there is no need to discuss just a shell, the main thing is the engine inside, the country has also studied it with great strength, but there are no results, just a pile of metal powder has been harvested, for the situation of the engine being destroyed, after the appearance of other countries, Su's reaction is very strong, but his own country has done this, Su has not expressed any dissatisfaction, but the Thor that damaged the engine is useless, after consuming a few Thor, Naturally, the research came to a halt.
After all, the preciousness of this thing is extraordinary, at that time, Su Ming specially allocated it to them for centralized research, being tossed like this, Su Ming had already been mentally prepared for such a long time in addition to seeing the face of the country, if they didn't fight against Su Ming, they would be weird.
Since technology cannot be transferred, Li Qinghua is not in a hurry to procure them, and the current 120 planes are basically enough.
Su Ming is not in a hurry, the price of the state procurement is carried out according to the original agreed price, which is several times worse than the one sold to others, and now the production schedule is so tight, his own side has not been fully satisfied, and at the same time, Su Ming can also expect that after this conflict in the Taiwan Strait, Thor will definitely become famous, and there will be a lot of requests for purchases at that time, and there is no need to waste business power on such a cheap price.
Sure enough, the conflict in the Taiwan Strait has not yet ended, and dozens of inquiries about Thor's intentions have been sent, some have asked for a display in the past, some have asked to participate in the bidding, and some have directly sent procurement requests, among which the two countries with the highest specifications are the United Kingdom and the two countries.
It is said that this side is naturally close to the battlefield, and it is friendly with the United States and Taiwan, and he has already obtained all the battlefield situation, and he has long had the intention of purchasing this advanced new weapon, but unfortunately Su Ming has been unwilling to agree, even Mihoko can't come forward, and he is also very wise to know that it is not easy to get it here in Su Ming, and has been thinking of other ways.
However, the Su clan is very strict with the management of the sold Thor, and they have never had the opportunity to get it through other countries, but they have not given up the channel on Su's side, after all, this channel is the most orthodox channel, and it has long been considered to arrange Thor under the ship at sea to replace the role of the aircraft and make up for the lack of helicopter combat power.
It is said that the "Osumi" tank landing ship under construction is actually similar to a light aircraft carrier, except that it can only take off and land helicopters, but Thor's offensive surname is far superior to that of helicopters, and it does not need to occupy so much space like helicopters, and its logistical requirements are not as high as those of helicopters, and it is precisely the air power that is inherently suitable for carriers.
He had been salivating for a long time, and had even prepared a lot of conditions to exchange interests with the Su family, but Su Ming had never made any statement, and had been spending it here, but this time, after Thor showed his surname that was far beyond imagination, he couldn't sit still, and in addition to the officials of the Ministry of Defense, a deputy minister also came to lead a team and came to visit Su Ming in the name of visiting Pakistan.
And Britain is also because of the lack of aircraft carrier strength, the Harrier fighter has a short range, a small bomb load, and the speed can only reach subsonic speed, in addition to the implementation of ground attacks, basically inferior to Thor in any aspect.
And each aircraft carrier is only equipped with eight Harrier fighters, if it is replaced by Thor, it is not a problem to equip eighty, and the price of Thor is pitifully low compared to fighter jets, one plane can be worth several Thor, so Britain is also very tempted by Thor, but they are not so direct.
They first told Su Ming through the Hong Kong side that they were ready to confer the title of Honorary Citizen of Hong Kong and the Honorary Citizen Award of the Commonwealth on Su Ming, and at the same time, in recognition of Su Ming's efforts and contributions to charity, they were ready to confer the position of Justice of the Peace and the title of Baron for life on the Hong Kong side.
A series of flashy titles did not smash Su Ming unconscious, but shocked the Pakistani side, because they were also members of the British Commonwealth before, knowing what these titles represented, even Sun Xian felt very happy, it seems that everyone still prefers the feudal society, and getting a baron's aristocratic title will make people faint, a title that does not even have the right to inherit, feudal poison.
But how to say that people are also kind, Su Ming knows why the other party is so expensive, that Justice of the Peace is just that, the British title or something is not often taken out, this represents the glory of the British royal family, and there are offerings every year, don't be in vain.
Su Ming pretended to excuse himself, although the British had already spent a lot of money on this, Su Ming felt that it was not enough, but Britain was also one of the five major ones, and it was also the former world hegemon, although it was said that the glory was no longer there, but the influence was still very great.
If you can do business with this country, Su's influence can be further improved, which is also a direction that Su Ming is considering more and more, he can no longer bury his head in business, the arms business is not an ordinary business, and many times it must be considered from political factors.
Just like Yueben's request, although the bid is very high and very sincere, but for the country of Yueben, whether it is Su Ming himself or considering the reaction of public opinion, Su Ming does not dare to take this risk to sell to them, although Su Ming feels that there is no problem in selling to them, it is impossible to conquer the world with only one weapon, not to mention that Su Ming does not plan to sell it in large quantities.
However, the news from the British side also gave Su Ming an excuse to get rid of the entanglement of himself, otherwise Su Ming would really not be able to get rid of it, these people were really shameless, Su Ming even felt that even if he scolded them or punched them, they would discuss with him with a smile on his face to ask for cooperation.
However, although both sides are constitutional monarchies, there is no comparison between the royal family and the British royal family, and even if the emperor comes forward to grant someone something, it is estimated that it will not be accepted, but what method can be used to impress the other party, this is something that this delegation has been considering.
I also know that if I confer an honorary citizen on the other party, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive, not to mention the knight or something, it has long been abolished, in addition, there is really nothing to do with it, the key is that it is not rare to have people, and the only advantage is that there is a princess here? The British royal family doesn't have it, but the key is that this princess is a little old, not to mention her appearance.
After Su Ming came to Hong Kong, he stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Hong Kong arranged by the Hong Kong Governor's Office, and at this time, in addition to Sun Xian, there was another Luo Shaojun, after all, the future baron could not even have a follower, and he came alone, even Sun Xian also specially ordered a few dresses at a high price for the dinner party.
Su Ming didn't object, he was a dignified baron, he couldn't even have a female companion, at least if he brought Sun Xian to the scene, he wouldn't be embarrassed, and Sun Xian was more in line with the aesthetics of Westerners, but at this time, Sun Xian was suddenly called back by her sister Yun, saying that there was some new business coming to the door.
Su Ming has the heart to call another female companion over, think about his own women, most of them are not suitable, so when Su Ming participated in the Hong Kong Honorary Citizen and Commonwealth Honorary Citizen Award awarding ceremony on the first day, in order to avoid anyone suspecting his surname orientation, he didn't even bring Luo Shaojun, and attended the ceremony alone, which was called a simple style by many people and a gentleman's style.
Su Ming scolded in his heart, he has the style of a gentleman who is a fart, when he is willing to stand alone in the crowd, accept everyone's attention and judgment, isn't this really unable to find a companion, and he is unwilling to come out with a male companion, when the ceremony is over, Su Ming took Luo Shaojun to find a café to drink coffee, and suddenly found a familiar figure in the corner of the café.
