Nowadays, the food problem is the most important problem. Once the worries about food are solved, many other problems will be solved.
Now, the emergence of Borneo provides the best opportunity to solve this problem.
Du Fei estimated that it would take at most three years until all the arable land in Borneo is cultivated and the scale of food cultivation is fully expanded.
By then, the two grain producing areas in the northeast, one in the south and one in the north, will soon fill up the domestic reserve granaries.
If you are rich in food, you can raise pigs and chickens.
If people eat more meat, they will eat less grain.
And just as Du Fei was happily thinking about the future, suddenly the phone on his desk rang.
Du Fei came back to his senses, reached out to pick up the phone and said "hello", then showed a smile: "Oh? He wants to see me? That's good~ let him come."
After finishing speaking, Du Fei put down the phone with a playful smile on his face.
The person who called just now was Director Wang of the aircraft manufacturer, saying that it was McCain from the foreign expert group who wanted to meet with Du Fei.
Du Fei had already predicted this situation, and if McCain was smart enough, he would take the initiative to find him.
As expected.
About an hour later, a car parked in front of the fire equipment company.
With a serious expression, McCain got out of the back seat of the car, glanced at the unit plaque with white and black letters, and raised his black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand.
Behind him was a guard from the security department of the aircraft manufacturing plant.
This is special treatment for foreign experts, both for protection and surveillance.
McCain stepped through the door.
The guard inside received the notice in advance, confirmed his identity, registered, and asked the guard to go to the reception room, and then took McCain to find Zhang Wenzhong.
Zhang Wenzhong took people inside to Du Fei's office.
Du Fei put down the work at hand, stood up with a smile and said: "Mr. McCain, please sit down."
McCain had no expression. He stared at Du Fei and said solemnly: "It's you. I guessed it right?"
This was nonsense, but Du Fei knew it well, and said to Zhang Wenzhong with a smile: "Old Zhang, you go back first, I will talk to Mr. McCain alone, and by the way, prepare lunch for lunch."
He raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's almost noon, we can't let our foreign friends go back hungry."
Zhang Wenzhong responded and exited.
Du Fei then looked at McKay King and said with a smile: "Mr. Jin, don't be impatient. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
McCain took a deep breath and faced Du Fei's smile, which made him feel troubled.
When he was young, his father was a big shot in the local area and took him to some social drinking parties.
There he saw some bigger figures who could make his father flatter him, and their eyes were exactly the same as Du Fei's.
That kind of look that seems to have mastered everything, that kind of expression that can crush you to death at any time, but still smile.
McCain kept reminding himself to stay calm and never be impulsive at this time.
Being impulsive and angry won't solve any problems, it will only make him fall into a more difficult situation.
McCain pursed his lips and sat on the sofa.
Du Fei smiled: "What should I drink? Coffee or Coke? I like your Coke very much."
"Thank you, just boiled water will do." McCain didn't think any bullshit Coke could make him happy.
Du Fei didn't care, and poured him a cup of warm boiled water, put the cup on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and sat next to him: "Relax a little, don't be too tense, I think we will become 'better'
friend."
Hearing that Du Fei added an accent to the word "gentle", McCain said helplessly: "Mr. Du, you are Mr. Bush's friend and a big shot. I am just an insignificant little person..."
Du Fei interrupted him: "Mr. Jin, you are too arrogant to belittle yourself. In my eyes, you are not a small person. Your value is far more than 1.2 million US dollars."
Hearing this number, McCain's heart sank.
If there was any luck in his heart just now, it was completely gone now.
He knew that what happened this time was confirmed, and it was the hateful Easterner in front of him who did it.
But this is the scariest thing, because this vicious predator regards him as its prey.
McCain regretted that he shouldn't have coveted the business trip subsidy. If he hadn't come, he wouldn't have had so many unnecessary troubles.
But the matter has come to this, and there is no use regretting it. He can only try his best to deal with it.
McCain had enough time to say: "Sir, I know that Cindy can't buy those dogs for no reason...I mean the so-called insurance. She is my wife. I know her very well, and she will not sign anything for others.
Guarantee agreement..."
Du Fei smiled: "Of course, you can trust your wife, but what next?"
McCain said helplessly: "Sir, I want to know what exactly you want me to do? I'm just a technician. I really don't want to cause trouble or be found by those fbls."
Du Fei didn't want to hide it from the beginning. In fact, he was able to find McCain so quickly because he deliberately hinted at it.
"Don't be nervous, we Huaguo people never make things difficult for our friends." Du Fei said calmly: "On the contrary, we are very generous to our friends. I heard that you still have a house loan of 1.2 million US dollars."
McCain's face turned even more ugly.
Du Fei continued: "I don't think my friend should be tortured by the pressure of debt."
McCain pursed his lips and remained silent.
Du Fei continued: "Isn't it 1.2 million US dollars? Look, it's not a problem at all for me."
McCain took a deep breath and begged: "Sir, what do you want?"
Du Fei reached out and patted his shoulder: "You don't understand what I want?"
McCain shook his head instinctively: "No way, I can't betray my motherland."
"Motherland?" Du Fei sneered: "If I remember correctly, you should be Irish, right? Your motherland is in Europe, what does it have to do with America? Besides, I just asked you to do your best to complete this cooperation project.
Is there anything wrong with this?"
McCain knew that Du Fei wanted more than that, otherwise there would be no need to spend so much time on him.
"Listen to me, Your Excellency, I know your purpose, but it's useless for you to come to me. The backwardness of your aviation industry is systemic. Even ten of me can't change this situation."
Du Fei said lightly: "Of course I know, but I know you must have a way, Mr. Jin."
McCain was helpless and angry: "You are forcing someone to make things difficult for you! If you insist on doing this, then I have no choice but to report it to the boss and apply to return to China. I hope it will not affect the current cooperation by then."
Du Fei smiled and said, "Are you threatening me?"
McCain gritted his teeth: "It's not a threat, it's a reminder."
Du Fei stretched out his hand: "Of course, you can go at any time, but you have to understand one thing. This cooperation is not only our need, but also your Wanshengtun's need. Maybe you haven't read the newspaper these days...
…”
As he spoke, Du Fei took out several English newspapers from the drawer and threw them one by one in front of McCain: "Halloween Post, Big Apple Times..."
McCain took it over, and the front page headlines were all articles reporting on the ongoing aviation cooperation between the two parties.
As described above, they dismantled the fighter plane and showed it to our experts without any concealment...
The ending praised this cooperation as a great victory of unprecedented, incredible, unparalleled and unimaginable significance.
McCain couldn't help but turn pale after reading this.
He is not only a technician, but his family used to be wealthy as well. He followed his father and was influenced by his words and deeds, and he has a deep understanding of Zhengzhi.
He understands what this trend of public opinion means.
This has become a positive achievement. Anyone who wants to deny this cooperation or even discredit this cooperation will be a slap in the face.
When the time comes, someone will shut him up completely without Du Fei taking action.
It literally means ‘shut up’.
"See?" Du Fei chuckled, seeing that McCain had already thought of the pros and cons: "Believe me, you have no better choice. By cooperating with me, you will not only get the order for this project, but I will also
The bank in Xiangjiang will open an anonymous secret account for you, with 1.2 million US dollars already deposited in it."
McCain still persisted. Although he was shaken in his heart, he still gritted his teeth.
He knew that once he gave in today, he would never have a chance to look back.
Du Fei waited for a moment, but when he saw that he still hadn't let go, he took out his last bargaining chip: "Mr. Jin, I'm sorry that this may touch upon your painful past, but I still want to remind you that your father may not have committed suicide...
…”
McCain's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of shock: "What did you say!"
Du Fei did not explain. He stood up and took a brown paper document bag from his desk and handed it over: "You can see for yourself."
McCain quickly opened the document bag. Inside was a thick stack of English materials, some handwritten and some copied.
McCain's lips trembled slightly and he began to read quickly.
Du Fei was not in a hurry, sitting on the sofa and waiting for him to watch slowly.
In about forty minutes, McCain finished reading all the materials and looked up at Du Fei again.
He didn't ask any nonsense like, 'Is this all true?'
Moreover, much of the information provided by Du Fei is consistent with his original memory.
Furthermore, his father's character was such that even if he went bankrupt, he would never commit suicide.
He felt very suspicious at first, but he was just a young man in his twenties who had lost everything. Even if he had suspicions, he did not have the resources or energy to investigate, so he could only hide his suspicions in his heart.
Now it was as if Du Fei had directly brought it to the table and made the matter clear.
McKay King said: "Can you help me get revenge?"
Du Fei smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
McCain pursed his lips. Those who could be brothers with Jie Bushi certainly had equal strength.
The person who forced his father to death was a local factory owner who was a multi-millionaire and a big shot in their area.
But compared to Du Fei and Bu Shi, they are several levels behind.
More importantly, Du Fei was able to master so much in a short period of time, obviously investing a lot of resources.
McCain fell silent, but this time he spoke in less than a minute: "Okay, you win. McDonnell Douglas is currently developing a fighter jet code-named F-15..."
Du Fei's heart trembled, he didn't expect an unexpected surprise.
Originally, he did not expect McCain to know the technical details of the F-15 because McCain had no experience participating in the F-15 project on his resume.
After asking again, I found out that although McCain was not involved in the project, because of his position in the company, he had access to a lot of development progress and technical details about the F-15.
Du Fei couldn't help but be overjoyed.
In the entire 20th century, the most successful fighter jet has to be the F-15, and the Su-27 in conjunction with it can be said to be an instant hit.
However, although the Su-27 is famous, it cannot withstand the collapse of the SLA, and it is not as good as the F-15.
Previously, Du Fei's purpose in engaging in this cooperation was not really to let America's experts help us improve our fighter planes. His real purpose was to get in touch with these people.
Only by contact can it be possible to interact and get something you want.
The goal in his mind is Northrop's YF-17, which failed to compete with the F-16 next year, which is the F-18 that will be used on aircraft carriers in the future.
To be honest, Du Fei didn't dare to have the idea of F-15.
Who knows that unintentionally planting willows will create shade.
McCain took the initiative to mention the F-15. Isn't it a coincidence?
But then McCain dropped a bucket of cold water.
McCain had regained his composure at this time, and even when he was sure that his father had not committed suicide, something changed in his whole person.
It seems like he has returned to his youth, the McKay King who thrived in college and competed vigorously in international competitions.
He reacted sharply and thought clearly. He mentioned the F-15 because he knew the weight of this aircraft. Only by using the most important bargaining chip could he maximize his value with Du Fei.
In fact, the F-15 is not a piece of cake that can be seen or even touched by Du Fei.
McCain said: "I can provide you with some F-15 technology, but you can't use it directly."
Du Fei nodded happily: "Of course, we never betray our friends."
McCain smiled, already in the mood, and he didn't trust Du Fei's promise.
But it doesn't matter, as long as his value is greater and he may provide more important technologies in the future, he is not afraid that Du Fei will sell him.
He will even receive a steady stream of benefits from Du Fei. In America, money means everything.
McCain then said: "Du, can I call you that?"
Du Fei said: "Of course, we are friends, Mike!"
McCain said: "Du, I don't mean to offend. With your current technical level, even if I bring you a complete set of drawings of the F-15, you still won't be able to build it, including the engine, radar, electronic control bus, combat system...
There are shortcomings in every aspect. To put it bluntly, your level is at least twenty years behind America."
Duffy said nothing, because what McCain said was the truth.
And he must have a purpose for saying this, otherwise there is no need to tell such a truth that can easily make people angry.
Sure enough, McCain continued: "Instead of focusing on the technology of the F-15, you should fundamentally improve the level of the entire aviation manufacturing industry."
Du Fei's heart suddenly moved: "Do you have any ideas?"
McKay King said: "I can start a class and bring in the best aviation experts in your country. I can give them America's most advanced ideas and the most advanced technology to improve the level of your industry."
While Du Fei was listening, his brain was thinking rapidly, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh that McCain was smart.
He first revealed the details of the F-15, and then revealed his true intentions.
Obviously, this small class teaching method is the safest for him.
With this small class, as long as he can tell something substantial, Du Fei will not force him to show off the technology of the F-15.
As long as he doesn't leak his technology, he has no mistakes in principle. As for giving lessons to Huaguo Ren, it is just part of the cooperation between the two parties, and there is no fault in him.
However, in Du Fei's opinion, this idea was just to comfort himself.
If America really found him guilty, there would be no need for evidence, let alone going to court.
The prerequisite for his preparations is that people should reason with him, talk about the law, and talk about evidence.
As for McCain, I am afraid that he may not know this, but he has just taken the first step and still wants to leave a way out for himself.
Unfortunately, in this situation, there is no so-called escape route for anyone.
…
The next day, in the canteen of the aircraft factory.
In the large private room of Xiaozao on the second floor, a blackboard was hung on the wall. The large round table in the middle was removed and replaced with school tables and chairs.
In the evening, Factory Manager Wang called McCain here under the guise of inviting him to drink.
Those who participated in this 'small tutorial class' were a few people from the passenger aircraft project team who came from Beijing Aircraft Factory, Shenyang Aircraft Factory, and Shanghai Aircraft Factory.
There are a total of twenty places, and Du Fei's family must have taken up the majority, taking up ten of them.
There are ten left, half of which are from Shenyang Fei Factory and Shang Fei Factory. But in fact, these people from Fei Factory have already entered Du Fei's urn and cannot return them.
McCain stood in the front and talked directly about the most cutting-edge things in America.
The following experts are also unambiguous. They are all the top people in the country. The questions raised are quite sharp and hit the mark.
Du Fei also set up a camera and two tape recorders to save all the audio and video of the scene.
During the day, the two project teams were also progressing step by step in improving the J-8.
Because Du Fei planned a $500 million pie, Li Aode also showed some skills in the hope of winning the project.
But he was not as sincere as McCain, but he felt that Huaguo should be grateful if he showed some similar techniques.
But having said that, even if Li Ao had to show his true skills, he would not be able to defeat McCain this time.
This competition has been over since McCain started taking classes in the small private room in the cafeteria.
When the results were finally announced, Li Aode looked extremely ugly.
His and McCain's improvements to the J-8 were very similar in appearance. They both eliminated the nose air intake and replaced it with two-rib air intake.
The thickness and strength of the wings are increased, and new types of anti-air and ground missiles are mounted on them.
The difference is that McCain uses more advanced radar and flight control systems, as well as electronic equipment internally.
Although these things need to be imported from America, the result is better-looking than Li Aode's plan.
During the final plan discussion meeting, Li Aode kept staring at McCain, as if he was scolding you for not practicing martial ethics.
For the sake of those 500 million US dollars, we have no shame and take everything from outside. Can those advanced technologies be given to flowers and fruits!
McCain seemed as if he hadn't seen it, but he was sarcastic in his heart.
Cooperation was proposed by the big shots above and approved by the commander-in-chief. We are all part-time workers. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?
How can I just bring out the best technology? I also gave lessons to their experts and charged them 1.2 million US dollars~
…
After the meeting, Du Fei directly announced that McDonnell Douglas had won the cooperation project.
As for General Dynamics, I can only say that it is very regrettable, but it did not let these people go back empty-handed. In addition to the promised salary, everyone was given a gift and a red envelope of three thousand US dollars.
There were only ten people in total, and they did a great job. They would definitely tell them how their trip to Huaguo was when they got back.
Spending this 30,000 US dollars will certainly produce a worthwhile effect.
This is a wedge. Some engineers or technicians from America may come to work here in the future.
After sending away the General Dynamics people, Du Fei went straight to Zhu's father to report the situation.
Dad Zhu looked at the results, took off his glasses and squeezed the bridge of his nose with his hand, looked up at Du Fei, frowned and said: "If we improve according to this plan, our aircraft will purchase at least 30% of its parts from America."
Although Dad Zhu is not a professional, his words hit the point.
Du Fei explained: "Dad, there's nothing we can do about it. We have too many shortcomings. 30% of them have already gone through two rounds of screening. If you can use our things, use our own, but some of them are really irreplaceable."
!”
Dad Zhu pursed his lips and said with a serious expression: "But this time, I'm afraid they will pinch his life. The relationship between the two families is good now, but what should we do if there is a conflict in the future?"
Du Fei said: "That's what I think. Now is an opportunity. Nico is under a lot of pressure to end the war as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would not be possible for him to agree to sell us these things so happily. Apart from being slightly more expensive, there is nothing."
question."
Dad Zhu nodded. The flight control buses and radar systems used in these aircraft were not available even if he wanted to buy them in the past.
Du Fei continued: "Let's take this opportunity to build dozens of new J-82s for emergency response. This improved fighter, according to America's generation, is a second-generation fighter even if it cannot reach the third-generation aircraft.
The level of combat effectiveness and modernization of the second-generation aircraft is far higher than that of conventional second-generation aircraft. With these aircraft, we will have aircraft that can be used for at least the next ten years."
Dad Zhu said: "You want to use this time to develop our own third-generation machine through imitation."
Du Fei was silent for a few seconds: "Dad, it's not that I have the ambition of others to destroy my own prestige. With our current basic conditions, it is very difficult to build a third-generation aircraft within ten years to be honest."
Dad Zhu frowned, but he still believed in Du Fei's judgment.
Being able to start from scratch and build a Jingfei factory in a few years is enough to show that Du Fei has a very deep understanding of this industry.
See more clearly than experts in the field.
Du Fei insisted on building a large turbofan aircraft before, instead of following the trend and building a jet aircraft, which is proof of this.
Dad Zhu said in a deep voice: "In other words... for a long time, the fate of our fighter planes will be in America's hands."
Du Fei nodded silently, this is reality and there is no way to deny it.
Instead, Dad Zhu waved his hand: "Forget it, anything is better than nothing. At least there are ready-made things that allow us to follow suit. As for the issue of parts import, as long as Sulian is here, everything will be easy to discuss.
