MTL - Warship of Great Power-Chapter 763 Laiyang is in Shandong, so what does it matter to us in Mingzhou?
Chapter 763 Laiyang is in Shandong, what does it matter to us in Mingzhou?
Of course Qin Tao knew that there would be such a day.
For five thousand years, the motherland has always been strong, and it was the place admired by the barbarians in the West. It was not until modern times that the closed country led to the decline of the country, and the door was opened by foreigners with foreign guns and cannons.
The great motherland is on a great journey of national rejuvenation. As before, the motherland will become the most powerful country in the world. However, this will violate the interests of many people. , various means will be used.
Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, and the Mingzhou Group is powerful. Therefore, if you shoot the first bird, the opponent will definitely take the Mingzhou Group. Can you be afraid because of this? of course not!
Qin Tao has been prepared for a long time. When this day comes, Qin Tao will face the opponent's sanctions and beat back all the opponent's sanctions. He will also set an example for other companies and let the big guys see , all imperialism is a paper tiger!
At the same time, set an example for some people, don’t be afraid, it is an honor to be sanctioned by the opposite party, if you are praised by the opposite party, there must be something wrong!
"Boss Qin is Boss Qin, different from others." The big guy was very emotional: "Since Boss Qin is prepared, we can rest assured."
"Well, let's talk about today's harvest."
"On the first day of the exhibition, our sales were very good, accumulated..." Yuan Liming introduced.
At eight o'clock, the meeting ended, Qin Tao walked out of the meeting room and looked at the sky full of stars above his head.
"Brother Tao, what will they do next?" Zhao Ling asked Qin Tao.
"This kind of confrontation must not be a one-off, but a long-term one. They are just starting to make a move, and they will be more scrupulous, so they will make small troubles first, and in order for them to stand on the moral high ground, they will definitely pour dirty water on us first." Qin Tao said: "However, we are not afraid of the shadow being crooked. If they want to make a move, we will do it. Our biggest hole card is not to do business with them at all."
The other party wants to sanction itself, what is the biggest trick? Impose tariffs, hefty fines, confiscate assets, and more.
Mingzhou Group has avoided these situations from the very beginning. Simply put, Mingzhou Group does not do business with the other party at all.
Mingzhou Group's civilian ships are being built for the whole world, but they never build ships for superpower ship owners, and they don't have any business dealings with them at all. Anyway, Mingzhou Group's civilian ships are very advanced, so don't worry about no orders. I'm just worried about not being able to produce.
The other party can't directly sanction, so they can only find a third party, that is, their dog legs, such as Maple Leaf Country, Kangaroo Country, etc. Qin Tao doesn't have much contact with these countries, and if he has any, he imports from Kangaroo Country Just some iron ore.
Will the other party use this to make a fuss?
The other side of the ocean.
"Mingzhou Group is developing too fast, and it has already threatened our military development. We must find a way to stop their development!" Jordan said: "This air show, the things exhibited by Mingzhou Group, let us all Surprised, everyone, fifth-generation aircraft, aerospace aircraft, if this thing is produced, it can fly above our heads at any time!"
Among other things, just the Baidi aerospace plane shocked Jordan. He already felt that if he didn't do something, his life would definitely be difficult in the future.
"Don't mess with us first, are the NASA people here? Tell us, is this thing reliable? Are the Orientals fooling us, just like we fooled them back then?" George said. .
A woman came from NASA. She brushed her hair and sorted out her words: "Actually, speaking of aerospace aircraft, we have been researching it. Since we were working on the Blackbird, we have been working on it. We worked hard in this direction, and later we had the Goddess of Dawn project, but we gave up because of the collapse of the Red Empire due to financial reasons. Now, if we want not to be left behind, we should continue to invest in our Goddess of Dawn. "
The Goddess of Aurora is a mysterious aircraft. In the mid-eighties, this project was exposed, saying that it was a replacement for the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft. It has higher performance and uses a unique pulse explosion engine, so that it lives in the United States People on the west coast are often disturbed by this noise.
But later, this kind of aircraft was silent. Reminiscent of how the Red Empire was dragged down, many people are guessing that this Aurora Project is just a fool, trying to let the old man develop the same project to consume their national strength.
No one knows that this project was really carried out, but it was cut off for various reasons.
Now, seeing that I am behind, I have to rush to the same project.
Although it is not as powerful as the Baidi Aerospace plane, the performance of the Goddess of Aurora should not be underestimated. It can still reach the world, and can still detect and attack. Therefore, this project can compete with the Baidi Aerospace Plane.
"Mary, I called you here not to ask you to talk about the Goddess of Dawn, but to ask you to see from a technical point of view whether it is possible for the Orientals to make this kind of aerospace plane."
"Is it unclear what I mean? Jordan, don't you have a little common sense in your head?" Mary was also annoyed. This guy, who often gets stuck with their NASA funding, actually refuses to say it now.
"Mary's meaning is indeed very clear. The Orientals have this ability, especially the Mingzhou Group. Since they can tinker with the fourth-generation stealth aircraft and surpass our progress in the vertical take-off and landing fighter Shanghai, of course they also To get the fifth-generation machine out, we should start from two aspects.” Made, another woman present, said: “On the one hand, we need to allocate funds to support the Aurora Goddess project, and on the other hand, we want to prevent the development of Mingzhou Group. "
"Then, how much budget do you need for the Goddess of Dawn?"
"Give us a billion dollars first, let us carry out basic research, we are already far behind, we must catch up, we have to work overtime, we have to work hard..."
"What, a billion? Up to a hundred million!"
Just because of funding for NASA, the scene broke out again.
Somewhere in the remote desert, the weather is hot, and only at night will it cool down, and people will come out for activities.
However, this night, just after nightfall, there was a howling sound in the sky. They looked up and saw several bright spots flying by, leaving bright lines in the sky, just like shooting stars.
The bright line gradually extended to the ground.
Boom, boom, boom!
Explosions sounded, and the flames lit up the dark night sky.
The fire police car sounded, countless people were retreating, and countless people rushed to the scene.
"It should be aimed at our building. Fortunately, this kind of homemade rocket has a poor aim and hit the flower bed of the square." After the fire was extinguished, a technician said after analyzing the scene.
"Look, what is this?" At this moment, a person shouted.
It was a steel pipe, an ordinary steel pipe, but at the end of the steel pipe, there were several square characters.
They can understand the code of GB/T3091-93 next to the square characters, but they don't know those few square characters.
"Quickly, find someone who understands oriental characters!"
Soon, a translator was brought over. He looked at the words on it and read it softly: "Laiyang Steel Pipe."
"Investigate the origin of these steel pipes immediately!"
They have been hit by gas tank rockets many times before, but after the bombing, there are wreckage everywhere, and no complete sign can be found. This time, they finally found it.
Investigate, investigate!
The east gradually reveals the light of dawn, and a new day has arrived.
Qin Tao and Zhao Ling were still asleep when they were awakened by the knock on the door.
"President Qin, President Qin!"
Qin Tao was still rubbing his eyes, but Zhao Ling got up skillfully, put on her clothes, and went to open the door.
"Mr. Yuan, what's the matter, knocking on the door so early in the morning? Is there an accident at the air show?"
"No, the air show is very good, we just received new news." Yuan Liming said: "The superpower found evidence that the steel pipes produced by your Mingzhou Group were used by special personnel to endanger world peace."
"So fast?" Qin Tao was also surprised, he had just stimulated the other party, and he found the evidence immediately.
"Yes, it is said that the Laiyang steel pipes you exported are used to make gas tank rockets, which continue to explode in civilian areas."
"What? Laiyang steel pipe?" Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "It's none of our business, don't they all have geography knowledge? Laiyang is in Shandong, and we are in Mingzhou! Really, the ability to splash dirty water is too low. "
"Mr. Qin, this incident has spread, and many reporters have gotten the news." Yuan Liming said, "Do you want to stop going to the air show today?"
If today passed, I would definitely be surrounded by reporters.
Qin Tao shook his head: "Why don't you go? Not only will I go, but I will also hold a press conference!"
Reporters have the most sensitive sense of smell. They have heard about this news before the outside world knows it.
Mingzhou Group is producing weapons and secretly helping some elements who threaten civilians!
Mingzhou Group's position is problematic!
Various theories have been circulated.
So, when Qin Tao appeared, they immediately discovered him and surrounded him.
"Everyone, take it easy, go to our booth, I'm going to have a press conference there."
The reporters flocked to the booth, looking for the most suitable position, and the long guns and cannons were set up.
Qin Tao walked to the booth, behind him was the beautiful Baidi Aerospace plane.
"Today, I just received a shocking news." Qin Tao said: "I am very surprised, I did not expect that in order to discredit us, they can be so shameless and gossipers are so inferior. Now, I don't want any of you to ask questions like that, I might be tempted to hit someone, I'm young and I have no self-control."
Behind the reporter, a large group of people surrounded, Stanley and Daniel stood there, a little excited, this President Qin, what excuses can he have, this is not splashing dirty water, it is the truth!
"The wars in the Middle East make us very concerned. We are peace-loving. We have always called for the abandonment of violence and the use of negotiations to resolve disputes. We have never done any business with them. Everyone is a reporter. Some From your own channels, you can investigate which countries have exported a large amount of weapons to them, and have built up such a powerful force, and how the civilians living there have been treated during the five wars. I just want to say now, It is the most despicable and shameless to use Laiyang Steel Pipe to slander our Mingzhou Group, and it is also the most stupid! Didn’t the person who spread the rumors read Chinese Geography in advance?”
Stanley frowned, and asked Daniel beside him, "Daniel, do you know the place Laiyang?"
Daniel shook his head: "How do I know, there are so many yang in the east, Shenyang, Guiyang..."
Stanley was a little helpless, so he didn't know? You are clearly very clear, okay?
"Everyone look at our map."
On the big screen next to it, the pattern of a rooster has already been displayed, and two positions have been marked.
"This is Laiyang, which is located in Shandong, and this is Mingzhou, which is the headquarters of our group." Holding a laser pointer in his hand, Qin Tao pointed out the target: "These two locations are thousands of miles apart! Laiyang Steel Pipe, shut us down What's going on in Mingzhou? I advise those who spread rumors to study our map in advance! Although our Mingzhou Group has many subsidiaries, I can guarantee that we only have one steel plant! It is in Mingzhou, and we don't have to Go to inland cities, because transportation is inconvenient, we need to import iron ore!"
"Moreover, I also want to say that the Chinese characters sprayed on it can't explain the problem. It may be sprayed on purpose by someone with a heart. This time it is Laiyang steel pipe, and next time it may be Rheinmetall." Qin Tao said: "These steel pipes are for civilian use. , you can see the evidence of the other party, next to the Laiyang steel pipe, there is a code of GB/T3091-93, what does this code mean? Let me explain to you, it is galvanized welded steel pipe for low-pressure fluid transmission, that is Water pipes! We are made in China and have spread all over the world. We export a large number of civilian products. Even if this Laiyang steel pipe is exported, it is still an ordinary water pipe. How does the user modify it? What does it have to do with the exporter?"
These words are justified.
Stanley sighed: "Those guys are a little too impatient, chasing rumors, confusing right and wrong, and they didn't investigate in advance. It's embarrassing."
"Yes, but what did President Qin say just now? They need to import iron ore!" Daniel said: "Mingzhou Group mainly builds ships and cannot do without iron ore. Should we report this news back? "
Stanley nodded: "Yes, this can capture the lifeblood of the Mingzhou Group."
At the air show on this day, everyone’s enthusiasm for watching the aircraft faded, and the mood of eating melons came up. They were even more curious about the project of making rockets from water pipes and gas tanks. They spit stars and talked happily.
Qin Tao and Zhao Ling paced and came to the booth of Genghis Khan Aviation.
Zamotayeva stood there, communicating with several customers who came to consult.
"Please rest assured that our 40-megawatt-class gas turbine has very advanced performance. Even in high-temperature areas, it will not fail. Ours is of military quality. Don't worry."
"Trial? We don't provide trial. If you order, you can start selling four sets. Please rest assured that the price is absolutely fair and the quality will definitely satisfy you. You should know that a certain competitor is also developing this level of gas turbine. If the customer If we only buy one, we are worried that we will buy it back to disassemble and study our technology, and we will only consider it as a real customer if we buy it wholesale, after all, our gas turbine can propel a warship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons."
"Okay, then let's think about it."
After seeing off the client, Zamotayeva watched Qin Tao and Zhao Ling approaching, and said hello: "Mr. Qin, Secretary Zhao, are you here? It's strange to say that at our booth, this consulting product is currently on sale. The number of customers for gas turbines under development has increased, and this is already the third wave.”
"Then do you know who is behind them?" Qin Tao asked.
Zamotayeva pondered for a while: "It should be the country that needs this kind of gas turbine. They need an aircraft carrier with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons... Could it be Ah San?"
Gas turbines have high power and small size, so they can only be used for military use, because civilian use cannot burn oil, and military use is also used on warships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons. So, at present, only Ah San needs it.
Ah San has already started to build an aircraft carrier by himself, but the progress is slow. Although the LM2500 gas turbine is scheduled to be used, it can be replaced at any time if necessary.
In contrast, the gas turbines of Tianjiao Airlines are very suitable for them. Even if they use two, they can push their aircraft carrier to reach a speed of 28 or 9 knots. Moreover, the Tianjiao aircraft carrier is provided by Motor Sich. Third, it will be easier to accept psychologically.
However, Ah San was still unwilling to take the initiative to come forward, so he hired some people with western faces to contact and negotiate. Several calls were also sent.
"If it's Ah San, shall we really sell it to them?" Zamotayeva looked at Qin Tao hesitantly.
She has lived in the East for a long time, and of course she will consider issues from the perspective of the East. The East will definitely not want to see Ah San's strength. The accidents of Ah San's navy are all inseparable from the Mingzhou Group. relation.
Now, Ah San has come to purchase gas turbines, which will be installed on their aircraft carrier. This will be detrimental to the East.
"Of course, we want to do business after all." Qin Tao said: "If Ah San is really willing to purchase, then our research and development funds will be more abundant, and we can better complete the development of this engine. You can also get good benefits by ordering four, why not do it?"
"Then what do we need to do?"
Qin Tao shook his head firmly: "Of course not. In business, you must be honest."
No need to do anything, just leave it to Ah San, Ah San can use it, okay?
Don't forget, the current aircraft carrier is designed according to two LM2500 gas turbines, and the air intake is only that big. If it is changed to two 40-megawatt gas turbines of Genghis Khan Aviation, the air intake demand will be doubled, and they can fully Power on?
If you think about it, you will know that it is impossible. At that time, the other party can’t blame Genghis Khan Aviation’s engine for problems. It is obviously their design flaws. They have to modify the hull themselves, so the aircraft carrier will have to return to the factory for another year or two. .
You don't have to do anything, just let Ah San suffer.
"Boss Qin, I heard about the Laiyang Steel Pipe. I think this is just the prelude to a storm. You have to be prepared."
Qin Tao nodded with satisfaction. This Zamotayeva has grown up and has a keen sense of international relations. Now, the interests of Motor Sich and Mingzhou Group are tied together. If Mingzhou Group is hit hard, then Motor Sich will also have problems.
"We are prepared, and it will not affect the development of our group." Qin Tao said: "Our Genghis Khan Airlines will continue to grow and develop. Even if it is not exported, it is only for our domestic use, and the quantity is very large."
Zamotayeva nodded: "Well, we are optimistic about the development of Mingzhou Group and the future of Genghis Khan Airlines."
The other side of the ocean.
"Which idiot came up with this idea, he didn't know to look at the map of Dongfang in advance, Laiyang is not in Mingzhou at all!"
"However, according to the news from David, this batch of Laiyang steel pipes came from Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant."
"What's the use? If I knew it, I would have painted out the words Laiyang Steel Pipe and changed it to Mingzhou Steel Pipe! Now, if we continue to entangle this matter, we can only let the outside world continue to laugh at us."
Everyone was very angry, the first action was a complete failure, then what?
"Everyone, I just received a suggestion from the Lockheed technicians who visited the air show that the iron ore used by the Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant is mainly imported from the Kangaroo Country. If we want to sanction the Mingzhou Group, we can cut off the Their supply of iron ore!"
"This is a good idea!" Jordan became excited: "Mingzhou Group's main business is shipbuilding, and shipbuilding is inseparable from steel. Mingzhou Iron and Steel Works is the most important steel supplier of Mingzhou Group. As long as the supply of iron ore is cut off , then their production cannot continue! Once a large number of civilian ships delay delivery, they will face high compensation! Warships cannot be produced without steel plates, especially the aircraft carrier. If there is no high-performance steel plate, The aircraft carrier has to be stopped.”
"Everyone, I think we should seriously investigate. Is Mingzhou Group really inseparable from the iron ore from Kangaroo Country?" Made said, "We can't make jokes anymore."
"We have already investigated." George said: "Mingzhou Group signed a contract with Football Country to mine the iron ore there. However, in terms of trade volume, the iron ore exported by Football Country can only meet the needs of Mingzhou Group. Thirty percent of the demand, and 70 percent of their iron ore, is purchased from the Kangaroo Country. Therefore, as long as the iron ore from the Kangaroo Country is cut off, the Mingzhou Group will face 70 percent Ten iron ore gap, this is something they cannot solve."
"Okay, then the iron ore supplier of Kangaroo Country will publicly declare that due to the problem of Laiyang Steel Pipe, they will stop exporting iron ore to Mingzhou Group! Their iron ore cannot be turned into a weapon!"
