Lu Weidong’s answer shocked everyone, including the top leaders.
The big leader was speechless. He rarely showed such a gaffe expression.
There was silence all around, and you could hear a needle drop.
Finally, the big leader came to his senses first, and he immediately applauded.
Everyone woke up and applauded.
The applause was like thunder, echoing fiercely in the cabin.
An hour later, everyone reluctantly left the big plane and headed towards the rest house.
After the luncheon, the senior leaders began to visit production lines and other places. They walked around 10,000 acres of land, and then went to the May 11th Military Factory.
Everyone visited the Xiaolong fighter production line and expressed condolences to Director Zhang and other leaders of the May 11th Factory.
After the dinner, the senior leaders and others went to inspect the various garrisons in Luohu.
At present, the air force, A-level missile force, army, special forces, etc., have the strength of a group army, and they are responsible for the entire southern defense line.
Early the next morning, the large aircraft was pulled out of the factory by a tractor and drove onto the runway.
The target of the large plane is the northwest launch site, which is filled with rocket parts and military reconnaissance satellites.
Now, on May Day, the motherland launched its first military reconnaissance satellite. However, it has many flaws and is far inferior to the communication satellite brought by Lu Weidong.
Therefore, the above requires the 533 Research Base to produce three military reconnaissance satellites and rockets.
The big leader looked at the large aircraft slowly driving out. He said to Lu Weidong: "Last night, the military listened to the data of the large aircraft and was very satisfied. If the test flight is successful, the large military transport aircraft will be produced first. Weidong, what do you think?" Lu Weidong listened and nodded: "This is right! However, the chief of the oil country has reserved one. Do we use this price in our country?"
The big leader heard this and said in surprise: "What? There is already an order?"
"Yes!" Lu Weidong smiled.
"How much?" the leader asked seriously.
"About 25 million US dollars!" Lu Weidong smiled.
When the people around him heard this, their faces suddenly became full of excitement, and they started talking in whispers.
The big leader was stunned, rubbed his cheek, and smiled bitterly at Lu Weidong: "This must be a lot of profit, right?"
"No! Our four major manufacturing research centers almost went bankrupt. We invested a total of about HK$500 million in this project and spent five years of research budget." Lu Weidong said helplessly.
After listening to the big leaders, everyone showed a hint of understanding.
Everyone's faces showed admiration and admiration.
"Weidong!...Hey!...You alone can stand up to a group of our research institutes!" The big leader sighed, his expression full of sighs.
"Yes! Yes! Comrade Weidong is a genius in the world! A rare genius!"
"Yes! Yes! Comrade Weidong, he is more powerful than all of us!"
"With Comrade Weidong here, everyone feels at ease!"......
A group of experts behind the great leader praised and sighed.
Lu Weidong responded with a smile and said nothing.
At this moment, Director Li ran over. He stood in front of the leader and saluted, "Comrade Chief, get ready!"
The big leader returned the greeting. He glanced at his watch, raised his head and shouted: "Start! Take off!"
"Yes!" Director Li immediately ran over and ordered the crew of the large plane to take off.
Following Director Li's order, suddenly, the slight roar of a large plane floated over. The sound was very small, like running water rushing by.
At this time, the big plane started and slowly headed towards the end of the runway in the distance.
The speed is as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, the plane rises, climbs the clouds, shuttles through the blue sky, and disappears into a small black dot.
Test flight successful!
Everyone looked at this scene with shock and surprise on their faces.
"Crack!" Everyone applauded automatically, and the applause was like thunder and lasted for a long time.
The big leader immediately said to Director Li: "Immediately report to the superiors that the test flight was successful and has already left for the northwest launch site."
"Yes!" Director Li agreed and rushed away happily.
The senior leader led a group of leaders to express condolences to a group of people including the 533 factory technicians and aircraft reserve pilots.
At this moment, a congratulatory message was sent from above, pushing everyone's joy to a climax.
At noon, a banquet was held, and the senior leaders expressed condolences to everyone.
After the banquet, we rested for half an hour.
The big boss called Lu Weidong, Director Li, Director Nie, and Factory Director Liu to him.
The secretary closed the door and retreated.
The senior leader lit up a cigarette, smoked it, and blew out a smoke ring. The senior leader said to Lu Weidong and the others: "The greater your achievements, the more attention you pay. The four of you should be more cautious in your work. Oh! That's right! We, Comrade Weidong, are not here.
Lie, I forgot! Comrade Wei Dong, we old man has the sword of Shangfang."
The big leader suddenly smiled bitterly.
Everyone laughed in agreement and looked at Lu Weidong with a joking expression.
Lu Weidong could only smile bitterly and said: "I am also cautious in doing things! This is an essential character for our technicians."
After hearing this, everyone smiled even more.
The leader nodded slightly, smiled at Lu Weidong and said, "Weidong, you are right! How many large aircraft can we produce per month at the moment?"
Lu Weidong listened and said: "About two at most! But..."
Seeing the hesitation on Lu Weidong's face, the leader hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Are there difficulties? But there are insufficient funds?"
Director Li on the side understood what Lu Weidong was thinking, and he said to the leader: "Currently there are insufficient production lines and insufficient factory buildings. We have already reported it to the superiors and applied to merge Langshan and Bao'an into Luohu and set aside 200,000 acres of land."
The big leader frowned and said, "Wouldn't this require more investment?"
Director Li smiled and said: "So, we originally planned to export a batch of large aircraft as soon as possible."
After hearing this, the big leader waved his hands and said: "No! The army needs this kind of super-large military transport aircraft. We can't compete with them! I estimate that an order will be issued soon to produce large transport aircraft in the future to meet the demand."
After hearing this, Director Li looked at each other, Director Nie and Factory Director Liu, and the three of them looked at Lu Weidong.

Lu Weidong smiled and said: "Boss, I wonder how many large transport planes the military needs?"
The big leader shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know about this! However, I think it will probably keep you busy for a few years."
"Of course, Guo Jia can't treat Weidong badly! I think there will be compensation. Weidong, can you tell me your request? At the moment, do you have any difficulties that you need Guo Jia to help you solve?"
"This...this...is this okay?" Lu Weidong hesitated.
"Ha! Don't worry! Whatever you need, we will give it to you. Before coming here, the old man asked me to transfer the message. We will fully support you and support you unconditionally." The big leader said seriously.
After hearing this, Lu Weidong scratched the back of his head. After thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly and said: "It's not too difficult right now. The oil countries in the Middle East have united and want to modify the contract and prepare to trade in Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, and pounds. This
I didn’t agree, but after thinking about it, I became a little worried.”
The big leader didn't know why. He hesitated and said, "Isn't it better to use pounds or US dollars? Weidong, you have saved 500 million barrels of oil. We all think it is too much."
At this time, the leader's excited tone softened somewhat, and there was a hint of worry between his brows.
This is full of anxiety over Lu Weidong’s blind hoarding of oil.
From the perspective of the big leaders, if oil prices fall, this will be a huge loss!
"No! It's not enough! It will take two years to stockpile! I estimate that we need to stockpile two billion barrels of oil." Lu Weidong said.
After hearing this, the big leader's face froze and he was speechless for a long time.
Director Li, Director Nie, and Factory Director Liu also took a deep breath, with shock on their faces.
Two billion barrels of oil, this is six billion US dollars, equivalent to twenty times the total foreign exchange of the motherland.
This is too scary! It’s too scary!
Could it be that... Lu Weidong wants to put everything he has right now on oil?
This is a crazy gamble! It has never happened before since ancient times!
The big leader was stunned, and he was speechless for a long time.
Seeing that everyone was shocked, Lu Weidong slowly spoke up and explained.
"Three big leaders, as I have emphasized before, oil is the basis of industry. Without oil, it is impossible to build a strong industry."
"If we don't have a strong industry, how can we become the leader of underdeveloped Guojia?"
"How can we continuously produce products and dump them on other countries' markets?"
"Oil can provide industrial blood, tap our productivity, and make our national destiny stronger and invincible."
"If there is no oil, how can we compete with Aramco and Asso?"
"Right now, what everyone sees is that oil is freely traded! It's about three dollars a barrel. However, if the price rises to sixty dollars a barrel in the future, what will happen if oil countries ban sales in the future?"
"This is not unfounded worry! This is my prediction based on the current environment in the Middle East."
"In the future, the oil countries in the Middle East will definitely make big moves! War is still the norm in their region! We cannot predict what will happen in the future. However, we can predict some through clues. In short, be prepared for a rainy day and hoard oil on a large scale.
It is necessary.”
Lu Weidong's words silenced the four leaders.
Especially the big leader, he nodded repeatedly with a solemn look on his face.
After Lu Weidong finished speaking, he nodded and said: "From an economic point of view, what Weidong said is right!... Uh...! Okay! The old man has spoken, and we shouldn't care about this matter. After all, it's yours."
career."
Having said this, the big leader raised his head and said to Lu Weidong: "Weidong, since you are in trouble, how can we help you?"
Lu Weidong said: "In the future, when we import oil, we may be forced by oil countries to trade in US dollars or pounds. However, in my opinion, isn't this cheaper for the United States and Britain? Let me think about it, since the oil countries have Guo Jia, they are willing to use Hong Kong dollars
Trading, this is a good thing! It is good for us. Therefore, in the future, we will import oil and prepare to trade it with Hong Kong dollars, instead of exchanging weapons."
"This situation will definitely allow the Hong Kong authorities behind the scenes to take advantage! It can make the Hong Kong dollar stronger! Let the Hong Kong dollar become an international currency! This is of great benefit to Ah Ying. We are at a loss! Therefore, I hope Guo Jia will intervene,
Start negotiations on Hong Kong dollar issuance rights."
After hearing this, the big leader lowered his head and thought for a moment. He suddenly raised his head and said in shock: "I understand!...Is oil linked to the Hong Kong dollar?"
Lu Weidong listened, smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "With our current strength, this can only last two or three years. I predict that in the future, Aramco will link oil to the US dollar! After all, the International Gold Pool Agreement has gone bankrupt.
Aramco has launched a plan to prohibit countries from exchanging U.S. dollars for Aramco gold. At one point, the link between gold and the U.S. dollar has collapsed, and they will inevitably look for alternatives, and oil is the best substitute."
The big leader was shocked after hearing this. He stood up suddenly and said in shock: "Seriously? Really?"
Lu Weidong smiled slightly and said: "This is the conclusion that our Xiangjiang economic experts have reached through various sources of intelligence. We are more than 50% sure of this. After all, Aramco controls the vast majority of global oil transactions."<
/p>
The big leader's face became solemn, and he looked thoughtful.
Director Li, Director Nie, and Factory Director Liu were also shocked, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
After a while, everyone suddenly realized something. They looked at Lu Weidong as if they were in another world.
At this moment, no one doubted that Lu Weidong’s hoarding of oil was a stupid idea.
The big leader raised his head, looked at Lu Weidong and said, "This is important information! You didn't tell anyone else, right?"
"No!" Lu Weidong shook his head.
The big leader immediately looked at Director Li, Director Nie, and Factory Director Liu and said: "Today's conversation is classified as top secret! No one is allowed to leak it!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Director Li, Director Nie, and Factory Director Liu stood up in a hurry and nodded heavily.
The big leader waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit down. He said to Lu Weidong: "It seems that I need to go back early! Weidong, your current important task is to prepare to expand production immediately. As for the large military aircraft, we will talk about it later. I will go back and report immediately."
Situation. Just wait for orders!"
"Understood!" Lu Weidong stood up and nodded heavily.
The big boss waved his hand and glanced at his watch.
Now, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon. The big leader immediately stood up and said to everyone: "Right now, are there any planes taking off from Luohu Military Airport?"
Director Li immediately said: "Boss, there will be a cargo plane going to Sijiu City at six o'clock in the morning and evening."
"Hehe! It seems that my luck is very good! Okay! I'll go back right away!" After the big leader said that, he immediately called the secretary, gave instructions, and prepared to go to the airport.
After hearing the news, everyone hurried over to see him off.
At half past five, a team entered the military airport. Half an hour later, the cargo plane carrying the leaders took off and headed straight to the north.
On May 5th, in the evening, the motherland launched another satellite into space.
On the 6th, still in the evening, a satellite was launched.
On the 7th, a satellite was launched.
Three consecutive satellite launches, and they are military satellites that can monitor the world, made the two countries Amerika, Azerbaijan and Afghanistan a little nervous.
The Space Competition Club is no longer a one-man show between Aso and America.
The strong rise of the motherland has made both parties fearful and fearful.
