Chapter 211: Desert Powder Keg
After Megumi Mitsui finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Wang Ye was silent for at least half a minute, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, gestured to Megumi Mitsui, and then said:
"You don't mind if I have one, do you?"
Megumi Mitsui shook his head, and then Wang Ye lit it on his own, and finally spit out a cloud of smoke.
Between the smoke, Wang Ye looked at Megumi Mitsui, smiled and asked:
"Actually, I have a very curious question, if our cooperation plan can be reached, then in the end it will inevitably be revealed one day, for various reasons, in various ways, I think you should expect it, right? Don't you think you can keep your secrets forever? ”
"In that case, then why did your grandfather let you hold the shares on your behalf?"
"In this way, the day the matter is revealed, I guess you may have to go to prison, and the Japanese authorities, under the high pressure of the United States, should not be able to shield you, right?"
"Or are you noble enough to sacrifice everything for your family?"
Faced with Wang Ye's question, Mitsui Hui smiled and said as if she was not worried:
"Thank you for your concern, but you don't need to worry."
"It's true that our officials can't shield me, but what about yours?"
"As long as the project is implemented, there will be no Mitsui Hui in this world from now on, only a woman named Li Hui will remain, and I, as a key person who has brought so much important equipment and technology to your country, and as a witness to the good-neighborliness and friendship between our two countries, what kind of honorary citizenship will I get, right?"
"When the time comes, if I don't leave the country anymore and don't return to Japan, will the Americans come here to arrest people?"
"Even if they ask for it, will your officials agree to it?"
Hearing this, Wang Ye's brows twitched unconsciously, in fact, Wang Ye was not too surprised by this answer, but felt a little physiological discomfort.
In normal history, in the next 20 years, for various reasons, through various ways, countless Japanese stayed in China, and the stay here was not a temporary stay on a visa, but in various permanent residences, even naturalization, or silent ways.
Among these people, there are not excluded a very small number of noble people, but the vast majority of them, on the one hand, do it because of profits, and on the other hand, they also carry out some secret work in their spare time.
"You guys are really unscrupulous for the sake of profit!"
"I really learned the set of ancient Chinese families in the past!"
In the end, Wang Ye couldn't help but sigh with emotion, just like during the Three Kingdoms period, the three brothers of the Zhuge family belonged to the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, which was essentially the separation of the family, in modern terms, it was the "global layout", and in the end, no matter which of Wei Shu and Wu won, they are still the gate lords.
"No, it's not for profit, it's for survival."
Regarding Wang Ye's statement, Mitsui Hui shook his head and refuted it, and then asked again:
"It's not too early, Wang Ye, I'm done."
"Next, it's your turn!"
In fact, when Mitsui Hui just finished talking about the conditions, Wang Ye still had a little intention in his heart, but when he heard Mitsui Hui finish talking about her "self-protection strategy", to be honest, Wang Ye was resistant to this cooperation in his heart.
The reason is very simple, if Megumi Mitsui really stays in this way, objectively considering her important contributions, maybe she will have to be given a petty official, plus her status in this company, as well as some Japanese people in the company, maybe there will be some snake and mouse nest operation.
It is said that if you are not afraid of slowness, you are afraid of standing, Wang Ye would rather walk slowly step by step in a down-to-earth manner, rather than provoke such a sassy thing, in case she is the core at that time, and a domestic version of the "Mitsui family" will be created, and even in the future, through finance, it will be involved in other fields, such as journalism and the media industry, isn't this pure disgusting?
In the end, although the mutton was eaten, it was really worth it to make a fuss?
"I think that if you insist on your terms of cooperation, there is a good chance that cooperation will not be achieved."
"Let's talk about the most intuitive question, you just said that let me own 60% of the shares, and let me pay money, even if it is to build a factory in China, there must be at least three or five million investment, right?"
"How can I have so much money?"
Hearing Wang Ye say this, Mitsui Hui snorted coldly and said:
"You are in the desert and have extorted so much money from me!"
Wang Ye was not surprised by Mitsui Hui's answer, waved his hand and said:
"I can only spend that money abroad, and I can't get it back home."
"I have a total of a few thousand dollars in savings in China."
What Wang Ye said was the truth, after returning from the desert, Wang Ye reported his situation.
For example, tens of millions of dollars from Mitsui, as well as the consulting fees paid by Dubai to himself, and the reason for reporting is very simple, only Zhengda can be bright, otherwise it will be the same as Toshiba, and be pinched by others, anyway, Wang Ye now wants to eat, drink, and drink, and have people, and in the future, as the scale of the consortium gets bigger and bigger, he can enjoy what he should enjoy, to put it bluntly, it is useless to ask for money, and he is not afraid to say it at all.
In the end, the matter was reported directly to the top, and the leader instructed that this was his "legal income" and could be kept abroad, but he could not take it back to China for the time being, because there was no relevant legal support now.
"Do you agree with the removal of these objective questions?"
As soon as Wang Ye's words fell, Mitsui Hui pointed to the essence of the problem and said, Wang Ye nodded and said:
"What do I disagree with? The point is that objective problems cannot be ruled out. ”
"To be honest, I don't have the confidence to convince the leaders above, or why don't you try to contact the leaders directly, if you can negotiate terms, of course I have no opinion."
In this regard, Megumi Mitsui shook his head, and then said:
"No, this project must be kept strictly confidential."
"We can't really talk to the above, only you can."
In the end, Wang Ye nodded and said:
"Alright! Anyway, I'll help you convey it secretly, and as for what attitude it is, agree or disagree, I don't know. ”
Hearing Wang Ye say this, Mitsui Hui stood up, walked over and stretched out his hand:
"In that case, then I'll wait for your good news."
"I hope you don't keep me waiting too long."
Wang Ye nodded, reached out and shook her hand, while sighing in his heart.
Although Wang Ye's heart was resistant, he finally agreed to try to promote this plan, and there were five fundamental reasons.
First, the interests are fascinating.
Mitsui is not only a machine tool, large-scale integrated circuits and semiconductors are also very strong, if you can cooperate with them, then the domestic chip mass production is not a problem, and then you can develop the domestic semiconductor, hardware, software industry, now only 83 years, Apple has only been established for seven years, there are infinite possibilities, as long as the operation is good, the future is likely to be no chip is stuck neck, the problem that the domestic operating system can not be promoted on a large scale.
Second, stabilize Mitsui first!
After all, the machine tool transaction has only been carried out for the first order, and if they categorically deny it, what if they suddenly tear up the agreement? I can report them myself, but the huge benefit is gone!
Third, the problem exists, but it can be overcome.
For example, their snowball technical solutions seem to be trapped by them, but as long as the company's Huaxia technical personnel are enough, and then fully carry out self-research and technical follow-up, it will not be a big problem.
For example, Mitsui Hui becomes Li Hui, will there be any moths, as long as the supervision is strict enough, then she will not be able to set off any waves, it is really not good, and she will directly send those dishonest people in.
For example, it seems that they have made a lot of money and taken away most of the profits, but in the context of this era, they have also obtained valuable technology, and they will definitely not lose!
Fourth, it can also give the above a wake-up call.
Throughout the eighties and nineties, the business contacts between the two countries were very close, and in the name of support, cooperation, and aid, they made a lot of money, took advantage of the benefits, and created a lot of moths, leaving a lot of hidden dangers for the future, so from now on, from the beginning of 83, which was not so open, we must be careful to infiltrate!
Fifth, to strike at the United States and the West.
Raising tigers is a problem, who can be sure that tigers will not break free from their shackles and then eat people?
Mitsui is betting on domestic learning and scientific research capabilities, they think that as long as they continue to have money for research and development, the country will never be able to catch up with them, and can only continue to buy their technology, while Wang Ye does not think so, as long as there is a certain foundation, then the domestic self-research speed will be surprisingly fast!
With the advantage of numbers and concentrating on big things, as long as it can catch up with the next advanced level, Wang Ye dares to say that Huaxia's machine tool is the world's best-selling machine tool!
After all, who doesn't love a good product at a good price? Although it is not the price of cabbage, we can be cheaper than you as much as you sell in the United States and the West!
All in all.
Because of these five reasons, Wang Ye is willing to promote this cooperation plan to try, and give a detailed report of his ideas to the above, as for whether it will succeed or not, it depends on the meaning of the leaders, whether it is successful or not, anyway, more than 1,000 machine tools are enough for the time being.
"By the way, I have one more question."
"Why did you give yourself the name Li Hui, where did this Li come from?"
Faced with Wang Ye's question, Li Hui looked entangled for a moment, and then said in a flat voice:
"The ancestors of our Mitsui family, in the Tang Dynasty, used to be sent to the Tang Dynasty as envoys to bravely cross the ocean and come here to learn advanced statecraft and production technology, as well as to conduct commercial trade."
"In this process, I was rewarded by Emperor Li."
Hearing this, Wang Ye almost couldn't hold back his laughter, as far as Wang Ye knew, the Mitsui family should have originated in the era of 16xx at the earliest, the head of the family gave up his status as a samurai and chose to become a businessman, but he didn't expect that they could actually pull the era of sending Tang envoys a thousand years farther away than 16xx!
"Awesome!"
In the end, Wang Ye tried to hold back a smile and said this, but Megumi Mitsui didn't say anything, and then the two sides left the room.
After leaving the workshop, it was as if nothing had happened between the two of them, and after a simple coordination by Megumi Mitsui, the transportation work began in earnest.
At the request and command of the engineers accompanying Megumi Mitsui, some of these arriving machine tools began to be loaded and ready to be transported by car, while the other part needed to be transported by rail, because relatively speaking, the railway was more stable, and the long-distance car bumpy transportation did not meet the mobile standards of precision equipment.
In addition, there were hundreds of boxes, and it was impossible to transport them quickly, so Wang Ye stayed at the port that night, and as for the engineers and the staff of the consortium brought by Megumi Mitsui, they worked all night.
Early the next morning, Megumi Mitsui came to say goodbye.
"I'm waiting for your good news in Yanjing."
"Before the Spring Festival!"
The two of them said a few words briefly, and Megumi Mitsui left in the car, leaving only a middle-aged man named "Nobijian", who is said to be the person in charge of the engineer, responsible for the next equipment transportation, installation and commissioning work, and looking at the car that went away, Wang Ye sighed, and the light in his eyes flashed slightly.
For the next two days, Wang Ye was guarding the port and didn't go anywhere.
As for the cars and trains that are constantly being sent out, there are long or short packages, and the inch-headed young men who are actually loaded with guns and ammunition are guarded, they belong to the security section of the consortium, and they also belong to the militia, and the relevant actions have also been reported, and they have only one task, that is, to escort the goods back to the factory safely.
As for the consortium, the factory area that belongs to the "machine tool center" has also been busy, and at the same time, it is different from other parts of the consortium, although there are walls between other parts and parts, but the significance of isolation and warning is higher than the defensive significance, and the wall here is above the power grid and sentry!
After all, the consortium is a semi-military unit and needs to implement a certain confidentiality strategy, and the installation and commissioning of the machine tool center may involve foreigners, Wang Ye has long taken this into account and done a good job of relevant protection.
Just when the machine transport is in full swing.
Desert, southern Jordan, Gobi Mountains.
In a rather secluded valley, there is an army hidden, and unlike the ordinary wandering forces, they look more like a professional army, and even more surprising is their equipment!
I saw that in the valley, there were a large number of various equipment, including gas tank mortars, steel tube rockets, all kinds of military cars and trucks, even rocket artillery like Katyusha, all kinds of howitzers of large, medium and small calibers, and even more exaggerated, they actually had tanks!
Although these tanks are sprayed with desert gray paint, you can still see the former army green camouflage in the corners, and from the appearance point of view, these tanks have T-54A, T-55, T-62, and even a small number of T-72 tanks, adding up to at least fifty or sixty units, and what is even more exaggerated is that in the flat area behind the valley, there are actually hundreds of rotorcraft parked!
But if you take a closer look, you will find that these rotorcraft, as well as at least two-thirds of the gas canisters, mortars, steel tube rockets, and the like, are not produced by the Red Star Consortium at all.
In terms of size, these gyroplanes are at least a quarter larger than those of the Red Star Complex, not to mention the gas tank mortars and steel tube rockets, all of which are larger, and it can be seen that these steel pipes do belong to the "people's transfer army", that is, normal five-inch and six-inch steel pipes, with an outer diameter of 127 and 152 mm, as for the surrounding hills, there are a large number of air defense positions, and even a small number of air defense radars and air defense missiles can be seen, the overall scale can be said to be quite amazing!
At this moment.
In the far middle of this valley, inside a huge tent, the meeting was going on.
"Next, your mission is to keep attacking."
"And Yemen in the south will also cooperate with you in launching an attack at the same time."
"We call this military operation the Desert Spring! With weapons, war, and blood, come and welcome your spring! ”
"And we are your most powerful backup!"
Inside the tent, I saw a gray-haired white man say this, hearing his voice, many people in the tent had fanatical expressions on their faces, and the swarthy middle-aged man at the head nodded and said again:
"Now I have only one question."
"That is, what should we do if the United States goes directly to the war?"
To this question, the gray-haired white man shook his head and said with a smile on his face:
"This possibility, the probability is not very large."
"Now, the war between Iran and Iraq continues, the war between Pakistan and India has begun, and Afghanistan is also in chaos, not to mention the African region, where their forces are so dispersed, so the probability of direct military action is not high."
"Even if it really happens, you can instantly break it into pieces and continue to fight guerrillas with them in a mobile way, and when the time comes, we can also find an excuse to intervene directly, they can organize military operations, then we can too."
"All in all, unless they want to completely ignite the powder keg of the desert and provoke a third global war, they should only be able to provide all kinds of support like us."
Hearing the white man's statement, the swarthy middle-aged man nodded, and then said:
"Got it, I hope you'll keep our agreement."
"Otherwise, we don't have enough combat power to challenge the behemoth of Saudi Arabia."
As soon as the swarthy middle-aged man's voice fell, the white man burst out laughing, and then said with a confident look:
"Don't worry, my friend!"
"We will never be stingy with our friends, unlike those Americans, who just talk well!"
"Just like this time, I think you should be satisfied enough, right? And that's just a small beginning, and there's more to come! ”
"That's our sincerity!"
The swarthy middle-aged man nodded at the white man's statement, and then the two sides talked for a while, and the white man left, and disappeared directly into the mountains in the car.
"Let's go! Get ready for battle! ”
"First goal! Caral Oil Base! The second target, the Royal Air Base of Vess! ”
Finally, the dark-skinned man gave the order, and then the whole valley began to be noisy, countless soldiers were busy, and the vehicles began to move.
Within half an hour, the once crowded valley was empty, and only a large number of gyroplanes remained.
And this army rushed to the south, and the target was the Caral oil base, which was not far from the border, and this oil base had been attacked many times in the past month, so it now had a large number of garrisons.
The sky gradually began to darken.
