Chapter 2697 No one can stop the freedom of France
After chatting for a while, my uncle suddenly spoke up and changed the subject.
How are your preparations going?
Hearing his uncle's question, Old Chen nodded, "We've been arguing with them for days, and I guess we'll have to settle things today."
"We've prepared a whole table of food for this purpose, and now we're just waiting to see if the other party will eat it."
After hearing this, Li Rong laughed and said, "Personally, I think they should eat at least three dishes."
He held up three fingers and said to the three men, "The first one I definitely want to collaborate on is in the pharmaceutical field."
"I don't need to say more about that, do I?"
Old Chen nodded. "This has been raised many times in previous discussions, but we haven't given up on it yet."
He then looked at Yang Xiaotao and asked, "What do you think?"
Yang Xiaotao spread his hands and said, "Commander, I know the difference between having a full meal once and having a full meal every day."
After he finished speaking, the room erupted in laughter.
The uncle nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, our comrade has a very clear understanding."
Li Rong continued, "The second one is aviation."
"According to our understanding, the aircraft we sell have had a significant impact on their market."
"I guess they're trying to test our opinion this time!"
Old Chen hummed in agreement, but did not offer any further comment.
After all, these matters were handled by President Peng, so it was not appropriate for the rest of them to say more.
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Their Mirage fighter jets are still pretty good."
After he finished speaking, the people attending the meeting behind him laughed again.
Li Rong smiled and then closed her third finger. "I think the third one should be in the aerospace field."
"During this period, both the Alliance and the United States were making great efforts, especially the United States landing on the moon, which greatly stimulated the Western countries."
"France has always touted itself as the leader of the free world, and the newly appointed Pompidou has big ambitions. We are also the fourth country to independently launch a satellite."
"Only by cooperating with us, the fourth oldest country, can France, the third oldest, challenge the first and second oldest countries. Therefore, cooperating with us is beneficial to both sides."
After Li Rong finished speaking, a smile appeared on her face.
Old Chen, who was standing to the side, raised his hand and clapped enthusiastically.
Yang Xiaotao quickly clapped as well.
"Our female strategist's analysis is truly insightful!"
The uncle joked from the side, while Old Chen laughed and said, "These are exactly the three dishes we prepared."
"I wonder what kind of good wine they've prepared for us."
Yang Xiaotao immediately became interested upon hearing this and said to his uncle not far away, "If I remember correctly, France participated in the United States' moon landing mission and provided a lot of parts."
“I think we can have them serve this jar of wine.”
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Old Chen immediately shook his head, "Don't even dream about it. If they dare to take this thing out, the United States will be in an uproar."
Yang Xiaotao blinked after hearing this, "We can't even mention it?"
Old Chen raised his eyelids and looked at his uncle beside him; the two of them smiled at the same time.
West Garden.
Thuram, Krishnamurti, and the other two returned to the area.
However, this time it was Qing Lao who took the initiative to invite the other party over, and the meeting was more formal.
The elderly man, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, looked hale and hearty. Beside him, the portly Thuram wore a black suit with a flamboyant red tie.
As for Krish, he was wearing a gray suit, nothing particularly eye-catching about him.
However, Wang Lei, the head of internal affairs standing at the door, remained sufficiently vigilant.
Because he sensed a kindred spirit in the other person.
At this moment, all three of them turned their attention to the two women who were busy in front of them.
Tang Mingyue stood in front of the photocopier, explaining to Shuya.
This photocopier was made by Yang Xiaotao and his team at Mr. Chen's request, working overtime to complete it.
Yesterday, it was sent to Elder Chen by the Ninth Department, and then transferred here.
After a brief learning process, Tang Mingyue was able to operate the photocopier accurately.
The current use of this method is intended to showcase the country's technological development level to France.
This is also what Qing Lao meant.
If we want to change foreigners' impressions of our country, we can't just shout a few slogans or make a few noises on the international stage; we need to show real results to prove ourselves.
"This is our 'Shiguang' photocopier."
"Its working principle is to use optical principles to scan digital graphics."
As Tang Minyue spoke, she placed a piece of paper with the bilingual message "Long Live Friendship" into the photocopier.
"After placing it in place, press this button to make a copy."
After saying that, Tang Mingyue immediately pressed the button.
The next second, the machine made a buzzing sound, and then a piece of paper popped out from underneath.
Shuya immediately stepped forward and pulled it out, then covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Oh my god, it looks so much like it."
Tang Mingyue smiled and continued explaining, "You can also set the number of copies."
As he spoke, he pressed the numeric keypad, and the photocopier started working again, producing five sheets of paper with a whoosh.
Shuya picked it up again, put it together with the one she was holding, and said to Thuram and the other person, "Look at this, it's amazing."
Krish then compared two of the copies back and forth, before nodding approvingly, "Your photocopiers have surpassed those of the United States."
"It's incredible that such ordinary-looking paper can be photocopied."
Qing Lao just smiled and said, "These are the results of our comrades' hard work."
"It's also for the convenience of office work."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shuya immediately agreed happily, "This is so convenient."
"With this kind of fast copying machine, those of us who do copying can save more time instead of spending it on boring hand copying."
Tang Mingyue, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.
Organizing materials is always a challenge, especially copying documents. It's tiring and mentally taxing, and sometimes mistakes can happen if you're not careful.
With this photocopier, their work pressure will be greatly reduced.
Tang Mingyue continued, "This paper can still be used."
After saying that, he took a piece of paper from Shuya's hand, then pulled out the paper box, placed the side with the writing on it, put the paper box back, and started the copier again.
The next second, the same piece of paper appeared.
Now both sides have text.
"This also saves paper," Tang Mingyue explained.
Shuya was shocked to see that the handwriting was identical at the beginning and end.
"Oh my god, what am I seeing?"
Thuram patted his belly exaggeratedly, reached out and took the paper with "Long Live Friendship" printed on both sides, and said loudly, "Hao, your technology is developing too fast."
"This is amazing!"
Qing Lao just smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the hard work of our comrades."
Thuram leaned closer, "Hao, we've been friends for years, this machine..."
"you want?"
Old Qing naturally understood the temperament of the person in front of him, and knew the purpose behind his words as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Yes, yes, of course I have to have such a good machine. When I get back to my office, my dear secretary will be so excited that she'll hug and kiss it."
As he spoke, Thuram went up to the photocopier and kissed it, making Tang Mingyue extremely embarrassed.
Shuya and the others, however, were not surprised at all.
This guy isn't just thick-skinned, he's utterly shameless.
"Okay, this one is yours."
Without hesitation, Qing Lao immediately agreed.
"Really? Oh, that's great."
Thuram stepped forward and gave Qing Lao a hug, a gesture that made Tong Xiaolong, who was standing nearby, very nervous.
Tang Mingyue clenched her fists, afraid that the other party would do something outrageous.
"Hao, I can't take your money for nothing."
As he spoke, Thuram's face showed a look of heartache, and then he reached into his robes.
At this moment, Tong Xiaolong almost rushed forward and threw the damn fat man face-first into the mud.
But the next second, Thuram took a wallet out of his suit.
Just when everyone thought Thuram was going to take out money, he pulled a photo out of his wallet, leaving everyone stunned.
"Hao, this is a picture of Peggy. I found it at their house. I know you still miss her."
Thuram was filled with memories and reluctance, but after listening to him say these things, Qing Lao subconsciously took a step back, then immediately glanced at the house next to him, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Thuram, you've misunderstood."
"We are friends, and gifts between friends do not need to be reciprocated."
"And this is your wife, Thuram, so you'd better put her away."
Old Qing reached out and urged him on. Thuram was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Hao, you really are a good friend."
Old Qing smiled and said, "Yes, we are all good friends."
After Thuram confirmed several times that Ching Lao didn't need his 'Peggy', he put the photo back in his wallet.
Tang Mingyue, standing to the side, was also worried for Qing Lao.
Recalling what happened that night, the 'emotional abuse' still sends chills down her spine.
Fortunately, Qing Lao made things clear this time.
However, these three people are ultimately a 'hidden danger' here, and we need to speed up the process as soon as possible.
Soon, with Qing Lao and Tang Mingyue intentionally speeding up the process, the meeting came to an end.
"I've asked my comrades to arrange a discussion meeting. You can go and listen in and have a chat."
Old Qing saw the three of them off at the gate, shaking their hands warmly as he spoke.
The three had been informed of this arrangement beforehand and knew that the real topic would be discussed at the exchange meeting.
"Hao, you must go to France."
"I definitely have to go to Mary's Bar!"
Thuram held Qing Lao's hand and spoke earnestly.
Mr. Qing nodded, "I'll go when I have time."
The three bid farewell to Elder Qing in turn, and then, led by Tang Mingyue, took a car to Elder Chen's location.
After seeing the three leave, Qing Lao was about to go back to his office when he remembered something and immediately instructed Tong Xiaolong, "Prepare the car, I need to go out for a bit."
Tong Xiaolong didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately went to arrange a car.
the other side.
The three people sitting in the car remained silent.
After a long silence, Krish finally spoke, "This was specially arranged."
Thuram nodded. "Everyone has noticed that."
"However, the fact that they gave it to me so readily and without hesitation means that they really made the photocopier."
"It seems we underestimated them."
Shuya crossed her arms, and the wrinkles on her face deepened.
"It's not that we underestimate it, it's that we've never taken it seriously."
"Actually, they were ahead of us in research in this area as soon as they were able to manufacture calculators. Now, their achievements in aerospace are no worse than ours."
"It's just that we've always refused to believe it."
As soon as Shuya spoke, the other two fell silent.
Because among the three, Thuram seems to be the leader, but the real core is the old woman, Shuya.
Because the other party was the head of the Pompidou office.
"My only concern right now is whether our high-profile cooperation with the other party, even in economic and political trade exchanges, will provoke opposition from others?"
Krish said with some concern.
Shuya shook her head, "The so-called opposition is nothing more than an exchange of interests."
"Why should we care about what others think when this place can bring us benefits?"
Thuram scoffed, "Many people in this world remember the former British Empire."
"But little did they know that the freedom of France once shone throughout the world."
"United States?"
"hehe!"
"alliance?"
"hehe!"
"No one can stop France's determination to pursue freedom!"
