Five days later, Zhao Ye and his two followers flew to Washington. This time they did not dare to rush to the door alone as they did before.
Standing in front of the country's embassy here, Zhao Ye still felt a little hot in his heart. Why? When a bullied child found his mother, he felt a little aggrieved.
"Hello, we are from China. If you have anything to do, please contact Ambassador Chai here." Zhao Ye said to the guard.
"Coming from China? Do you have a letter of introduction?"
"Ah? You need a letter of introduction when you come here?" Zhao Ye was a little confused. He had never heard of this!
"Oh, if you are locals, you don't need to. But didn't you say you are from China? How come you don't have a letter of introduction for people from China?" the guard said plausibly.
"Ah? Well, we didn't prepare a letter of introduction for this!" Zhao Ye was defeated by the other party's logic. In other words, what they said was really correct.
"If you don't have a letter of introduction, then you won't be able to meet the ambassador, you can only meet the person in charge of reception." The guard said that there was nothing wrong. Of course, the ambassador of a country cannot be met by just anyone.
But you can meet anyone. As long as you tell your purpose, Zhao Ye believes that there will be important leaders to receive him.
"Wait a minute, is Gao Qiming here?" Gao Xiaojun suddenly interrupted and asked.
"Eh? Are you looking for the military attaché? Who are you? How do you know him?" The guard was very vigilant, and he was very wary of anyone who could name the military attaché stationed in the embassy.
"Hey, that's my third uncle. I'm here to visit relatives." Gao Xiaojun said to others with a playful smile. Zhao Ye and Sijia on the side also had bright eyes. Does this kid have such a relationship?
"Are you really the nephew of a high military attache?" the guard asked in disbelief.
"How can this be fake? If you call out my third uncle, you will know it at a glance."
So, the guard called the phone and directly reported that a relative of the military attache had come to visit, and asked the military attache to come out and pick him up.
Gao Qiming, who was talking about something in the room, felt baffled when he heard the message from his secretary. He was thousands of miles away, where did his relatives come from?
Ambassador Chai thought for a while and then said: "Lao Gao, don't be careless. Someone may use this excuse to contact us. Let's go out and have a look. If you don't know him, you have to pretend to know him."
"Don't worry, I understand!" After Gao Qiming said that, everyone came to the door together.
Ambassador Chai stood at the door of the hall where he could see the door and stopped walking forward. Gao Qiming continued to walk towards the door with a guard.
"Xiao Jun'er? Why is it you!" Gao Qiming was really surprised when he saw Gao Xiaojun. Who would have thought that he could see his eldest brother's son thousands of miles away. To be honest, he didn't see much of him in China.
.
"Hey, third uncle, I heard that you became the military attache stationed in M. I didn't even catch up to see you off when you left, so I had no choice but to come here to see you. You have to pay me for the air ticket back home.
!" Gao Xiaojun was as out of tune as ever.
"Come in first, let's talk if you have anything to say." Gao Qiming didn't want to talk too much here, so he led Zhao Ye and the three of them into the embassy.
"Really your nephew?" Ambassador Chai asked in surprise.
"A true nephew! I met him a year ago, when he was injured in the battle and was recuperating in the hospital. It's unmistakable."
After Gao Qiming finished explaining to the ambassador, he turned to his nephew and asked, "Xiaojun, what are you doing here?"
When Gao Xiaojun was about to speak, Zhao Ye stopped him. Then he motioned to Gao Qiming and said, "Boss, let's talk in another place." This is not because Zhao Ye is not polite, but because he is in a position in the corridor.
Reached a red dot.
Regarding this thing, Zhao Ye was not sure whether he was pretending it, so he did not say anything. Gao Qiming and Ambassador Chai frowned, and their hearts became alert.
Fortunately, there was nothing unusual in this room. Zhao Ye opened his mouth and told what he had just discovered.
"Comrade Zhao Ye, how did you find out?" Gao Qiming was really shocked. Does this Zhao Ye have special powers? When you pass by the corridor, you can find the monitoring equipment? How amazing is that!
Zhao Ye took out something the size of a cigarette box from his underwear pocket. This was specially made before he came to the United States. He originally wanted to give it to Scarlett and the others, so that they could have fun even when he was not present.
A certain degree of defensive capability.
But he didn't expect that it would be of great help to him at this time.
"This is an anti-monitoring device. You see, as long as there is a monitoring device within a certain range, it will alarm." After saying that, Zhao Ye put the things in his hands on the table.
Gao Qiming picked up this thing and looked at it carefully. In addition to a small screen, this little thing only had a few buttons.
"Did you discover it based on this little thing?" Ambassador Chai also asked curiously.
"Well, yes. Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhao Ye. I used to be the technical director of the Jingcheng United Factory. I was later transferred to the new factory in Guanzhong as the director. At the beginning of this year, I was ordered to establish a new enterprise.
It’s called Lihua Group. I currently serve as the chairman of this company.”
"Oh, you are Zhao Ye, I know you! You founded the Apple company here." When Ambassador Chai heard that it was Zhao Ye, he immediately became happy.
"Yes, I also heard my elder brother say that Xiaojun is working as your assistant now. And this is Xiaojun's girlfriend, Chen Sijia, right?" Gao Qiming's words came directly to Chen Sijia and he glared at Gao Xiaojun, but
Perhaps because of the occasion, he didn't refute, just smiled awkwardly.
Gao Xiaojun expressed great affirmation to his third uncle's amazing assist, but he didn't say anything due to the environment, but he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
"Comrade Zhao Ye, why did you come to country M? Do you have any mission?" Ambassador Chai was more concerned about this. He felt that Zhao Ye would definitely not come to the embassy for no reason just to let his assistant come visit relatives.
.
"Wait a moment!" After saying that, Zhao Ye picked up the device on the table again and pressed a button.
"This thing has an anti-eavesdropping function. Let's be prepared." After saying that, he put the thing on the table again. Then he introduced the situation he encountered.
Gao Qiming was extremely curious about the device on the table. But as Zhao Ye told it, his mind slowly entered the incident described by Zhao Ye.
…
"That's too much. What's this? They're just robbers!" After hearing Zhao Ye's description, Ambassador Chai stood up in anger. These capitalists are so shameless. They bully people so openly. Do they really think we are?
Is it possible to be a vegetarian?
"Ambassador Chai, I have thought about this issue carefully. We must condemn Merck's actions, but if we want to solve the problem, this alone is not enough."
"Of course it's not enough. For such a matter, we have to go to court with them! In addition, the embassy can even submit a note to the United States to urge the other government to resolve such a matter."
"Ambassador Chai, if this happens, time will be extended indefinitely. The other party is a pharmaceutical company, and it is not without the power to fight back at all levels. If the other party is determined to waste time with us, it will really take a long time.
We cannot afford to wait for ten or eight years, let alone fight such a lawsuit. After all, in the United States, litigation costs money, and it costs a lot of money!"
Ambassador Chai took a few steps back and forth, forcing himself to calm down and think about how to deal with this incident. This was the first special commercial incident he had encountered since taking office, so he took it very seriously. Protecting the people of the country is in M
It is one of the embassy's responsibilities to protect rights and interests from infringement.
"Do you have any ideas?" Ambassador Chai saw that Zhao Ye was calm and composed, and did not look like he was helpless about this matter, so he thought that he might have his own plan.
No matter what the plan is, now that he is here, he wants the embassy to cooperate.
"Ambassador Chai, we do have a plan, but before that, I hope you can contact the country and ask if our country is interested in fighter jets like the F14? Or is it interested in the Phoenix missile?"
…
A week later, a delegation arrived in the United States. It was led by a general from the General Air Force.
This delegation was formed urgently in the country. After the delegation was formed, domestic meetings were held overnight to discuss how to achieve this arms purchase.
After many discussions, there is only one problem: no money!
Is the F14 good? Is the Phoenix missile advanced? There is no need to discuss this at all. Is the main fighter equipped by a first-class person good? Why would someone use it if it is not good? Not to mention the Phoenix missile, which is also a first-class fighter.
Human equipment in active service.
This is just in the honeymoon period. If you miss this time point and want to buy such equipment again, don't even think about it.
The thing is indeed a good thing, but one thing is that it is too expensive! How expensive is it? Even a first-class person can hardly afford to use it! A few years ago, a country in the Middle East purchased this kind of aircraft.
The price at that time was more than 37 million U.S. dollars! You know, that was 37 million in 1973. In later generations, this price will definitely exceed 200 million U.S. dollars, which is much higher than the F22 in later generations.
This was the price a few years ago. It is now the late 1970s. With the economic stagflation in the United States in recent years, prices are expected to increase a lot.
This is the price of a single aircraft. Every time the aircraft flies for a period of time, it needs to be maintained. Calculated, the maintenance cost of this full cycle is not cheaper than an aircraft. Back then, classmate Xiao Yin’s family bought 80 aircraft.
, coupled with 764 Phoenix missiles, the total purchase amount reached 15 billion US dollars!
After knowing the news, the General Logistics Department gritted his teeth and finally did not dare to directly agree to the purchase. This is not because we are belittling ourselves. You must know that our GDP at this time is not as big as this number! Is it possible that the people of the whole country are not as big as this?
You don't even have to eat just to buy such a weapon?
