Chapter 2815 Yang Xiaotao's Hidden Intentions
After handing over the computer to Yang Zhi, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Dahai walked outside.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's serious expression, Wang Dahai came up to him and asked, "Something on your mind? Tell me."
Yang Xiaotao turned around and saw that the local officials were still following, so he said, "Director Wang and I, could you help prepare some food?"
The group exchanged glances, then nodded. The party secretary in charge smiled and said, "Minister Yang, please rest assured, we will definitely take good care of our distinguished guests."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then the group left. Yang Xiaotao and Wang Dahai went to a corner.
Yang Xiaotao took out cigarettes and the two lit them. Wang Dahai spoke again, "Is it about that computer thing?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head.
Wang Dahai's eyes darted around again, then he asked in a low voice, "Was it that helicopter?"
Yang Xiaotao looked up and asked, "Brother Wang, how did you figure that out?"
Wang Dahai laughed heartily, "Look at the way those helicopters look at each other. If I couldn't tell, wouldn't I be wasting my eyesight?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded seriously and said, "Brother Wang, to tell you the truth..."
“When we were negotiating the deal, I told them that we had to choose between the computer and the helicopter. They had to give us one of them.”
"But who would have thought that they would sell us computers, but not this kind of computer?"
"Do you understand now?"
Wang Dahai took a drag of his cigarette, let the smoke swirl in his lungs, and then exhaled. "That's because in their eyes, this helicopter is better than that computer."
"Yes, that's what it means."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Wang Dahai became suspicious again, "But why would this Dawson helicopter, which is such a good one, fly over here?"
"Shouldn't they hide?"
"That's what I'm wondering about too."
Yang Xiaotao also couldn't understand what Tongsen meant.
He clearly didn't want to sell, yet he flew over to show off. What was this guy thinking? He had no idea.
"Perhaps he's just showing off."
Wang Dahai spoke casually, holding his cigarette butt. Yang Xiaotao nodded noncommittally and then revealed his purpose.
"Brother Wang, no matter what the other party's intentions are, the meat has been delivered to the door. Let's think of a way to eat it."
Wang Dahai's eyes lit up, and then he waved his hand and said, "You mean this?"
Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes. "Don't do anything reckless. This could cause an international dispute."
Wang Dahai smiled, then tentatively suggested, "Should we contact them and buy the plane?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head again, "No, if they were willing to sell, we would have already made a deal. Even if we told them, there's a high chance they wouldn't sell."
"And you're right, the other party is very likely just here to show off."
Wang Dahai took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit it with Yang Xiaotao's cigarette butt before saying, "No matter what the other party is thinking, we need to figure out what we're going to do first."
"Hide the plane?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head.
"Then what are we doing?"
Yang Xiaotao threw his cigarette butt on the ground, then his eyes lit up. "The airplane can't be left behind, but the airplane's blueprints can be left behind."
"design diagram?"
Wang Dahai looked at Yang Xiaotao in surprise, then remembered Yang Xiaotao's abilities, and suddenly regained his composure, taking a deep drag on his cigarette. "Then we need to keep them calm. At the very least, we need to keep the people here tonight so that the plane can stay."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "We also need to lure the pilot out."
"Okay, leave this to me."
"I also need some professionals to assist me; they have to be reliable."
"I'll call Lao Liu. They have plenty of manpower. If we leave now, they can get here around 8 or 9 pm."
"can."
"I also need professional tools and equipment for disassembly and measurement."
“There’s a machinery factory in Dengzhou. I know the factory manager. I’ll call them and have them send over the best parts.”
"Row."
The two men smoked and discussed their upcoming plans. After Yang Xiaotao had considered all aspects, Wang Dahai solemnly asked, "Brother Yang, how much time do you need?"
Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "As long as we have enough people, six hours should be about right."
Wang Dahai threw his half-smoked cigarette on the ground and then said seriously, "Okay, you just need to prepare, leave the rest to me."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Okay, I'll go and calm that guy down first."
"Okay, let's split up."
After saying that, Wang Dahai quickly ran towards the office building.
Yang Xiaotao then strolled toward Dawson's rest area.
Not long after, Yang Xiaotao met Dawson again in the meeting room.
Meanwhile, Dawson was inside fiddling with the projector.
"Yang, come here quickly, I'll teach you how to use this projector."
Seeing Yang Xiaotao approach, Dawson waved enthusiastically. Yang Xiaotao looked at the projector in front of him and immediately smiled, "Dawson, there's only a projector, but no film."
Dawson's eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers. "Yang, do you think I would make such a mistake?"
As he spoke, he took out seven or eight tape boxes from the original box, each with a name on it.
"Look, I prepared it for you all a long time ago."
As he spoke, Dawson walked to the side, picked up a metal box bigger than a washbasin, and said with a smile, "This is my favorite movie. I don't know if you've heard of it."
Yang Xiaotao was also keen to get closer to the other person, so he asked, "What's your name? Tell me."
"Roman Holiday, this is a movie that was made a long time ago."
Yang Xiaotao laughed. He might not remember other movies, but this one was shown by his English teacher when he was in school, so it left a deep impression on him.
Of course, it's not because I envy the male protagonist.
"Audrey Hepburn?"
Upon hearing this, Dawson immediately perked up. "You know her? Oh my god, you actually know her?"
"I knew it, I knew it, she is an angel fallen to earth, an eternal goddess."
"Her Princess Anna is so beautiful."
“Yang, I have all of her films at home, including the film reels of her plays, and I also have the performance shoes she used to wear, a pair of exquisite ballet shoes.”
"Yang, you know how beautiful and kind she is, right?"
Looking at the man in front of him who suddenly seemed like a different person, Yang Xiaotao suddenly had a word pop into his mind: fan.
To connect with fans, you just need to cater to their preferences.
"Yes, Ms. Hepburn was a very beautiful woman, but in my opinion, her inner beauty far surpassed her physical beauty."
As Dawson listened to Yang Xiaotao's praise of his "goddess," a sense of approval appeared on his face.
"Yang, you are a very tasteful gentleman."
Yang Xiaotao thought to himself, "Just because I'm talking to you about goddesses, I'm suddenly a gentleman?"
Then Dawson said, "Yang, since you've also heard of Roman Holiday, why don't we watch it tonight?"
"Don't worry, this is a film I've specially treasured. The picture quality is absolutely fine, and it can also be used to test the projector."
Yang Xiaotao shook his head. "Dawson, watching a movie is fine, but it would be better to choose a different one, something more suitable for our current situation."
“Otherwise, I might not dare to watch it with you, a person from the United States.” Dawson immediately understood the meaning behind Yang Xiaotao’s words, and then sighed, “That’s such a pity.”
But Dawson quickly grinned, revealing a ring of white teeth, pulled something out of the metal box on the table, and then said to Yang Xiaotao with a smile, "How about we watch a story about a guerrilla team blowing up a bridge?"
"We're all in this together, right? That shouldn't be a problem."
Yang Xiaotao took the film and saw the word "bridge" written in English on it. He knew which movie it was. After all, the song "Goodbye My Friend" became a household name after it was introduced to China.
"Okay, no problem for me."
Yang Xiaotao readily agreed, then checked the time before saying, "How about this, it's getting dark soon, why don't we watch it first, and then eat after we're done?"
"Ok, Ok."
Dawson smiled and said, "It will allow more people to come and see."
Yang Xiaotao's face twitched. It was all in English; how could anyone else understand it?
However, having more people is not bad either, at least it can help create a better atmosphere.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements."
After saying that, Yang Xiaotao walked out. Behind him, Dawson clenched his fist. This first step had been taken. As long as they put in more effort, this new type of projector would definitely be able to open up the Chinese market.
By then, I will be able to possess more wealth.
After Yang Xiaotao left, he immediately found a port worker and asked him to bring the port's management director.
Upon receiving the news, the director in charge immediately rushed over to follow instructions.
Yang Xiaotao briefly explained the situation, and the director immediately cleared out the screening room where the port workers usually entertained themselves. He then arranged for a projectionist to prepare and, as Yang Xiaotao requested, found dozens of people to act as the audience. He also gave them instructions to cooperate well.
With the movie arrangements settled, Yang Xiaotao saw Wang Dahai running towards him and quickly went up to him to ask, "Brother Wang, how did things go?"
Wang Dahai took a deep breath and then calmed himself down before saying, "Old Liu has already arranged for someone to come by plane. They'll go to Penglai first and then come over, which will be faster."
"I'll definitely be there before eight o'clock."
"We heard that the machinery factory is coming to help. Their technical director is personally leading the team, and they will be here soon."
"it is good!"
Upon hearing these two pieces of news, Yang Xiaotao felt relieved. He then explained Dawson's arrangements. Wang Dahai felt that this matter needed to be handled quickly, and then he knocked the other party out at the dinner table.
Yang Xiaotao also thought it was a good idea, and the two of them immediately took action.
After Yang Xiaotao and Dawson moved the projector into the screening room, the audience they had gathered had also arrived. The curtains around the room were drawn, and the screening room was pitch black.
Dawson personally took charge of operating the projector, explaining, "Once it's installed, no one needs to watch it; it can project on its own."
"here we go."
"Yang, this is a very classic movie."
The movie started quickly, and everyone in the audience was very engrossed, since it was a foreign blockbuster, even though they couldn't understand the audio.
Yang Xiaotao sat next to Dawson and felt that this guy was definitely a 'movie fan'. He had probably watched this movie countless times and was still watching it.
The problem is that this guy always likes to spoil the plot, which makes Yang Xiaotao lose all sense of novelty.
After the movie ended and the credits rolled, people in the theater gradually left. They had all enjoyed the spectacle, but had no idea what had actually happened.
"So, Yang, isn't this projector really great?"
Seeing the silent expressions on everyone's faces as they left, Dawson felt a surge of joy and asked Yang Xiaotao a question.
"not bad."
Yang Xiaotao gave a fair answer, and Dawson was delighted. He then asked, "So, do you think this kind of projector can be introduced into China?"
Yang Xiaotao instantly understood what this guy meant by giving him a projector.
However, he didn't rush to expose it. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "I think it's great. The people will like it."
Dawson's eyes lit up, and he put his arm around Yang Xiaotao's shoulder and said, "Yang, if possible, we can continue the transaction."
"Of course, this is only part of the deal."
As Dawson looked on expectantly, Yang Xiaotao nodded and then said seriously, "I personally think there's no problem."
"That's great."
As they were talking, Wang Dahai led his men over and nodded to Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao then said, "Dinner is ready, let's eat and chat."
After saying that, he led Dawson to the reception room.
As soon as he entered, he saw a group of people inside to greet him, and then, amidst applause, Yang Xiaotao invited Dawson to take a seat.
Dawson noticed that, besides himself and his two attendants, the helicopter pilot had also been invited to join them at a table.
Dawson frowned slightly, but before he could speak, Yang Xiaotao gestured for everyone to sit down.
Then they started serving the food and drinks.
Yang Xiaotao picked up a bottle of local rice wine and filled Dawson's glass, while Wang Dahai took care of the driver, and the others each had their own goals.
"Yang, I can't hold my liquor."
Dawson's heart skipped a beat when he saw the palm-sized wine glass filled to the brim with wine.
He knew that Chinese men could drink, but he had never seen them drink like this before.
"Hey, this is called 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'. Here, let me suggest something to welcome you."
Yang Xiaotao picked up his glass, and Wang Dahai and the people he had arranged immediately raised their glasses as well. Dawson reluctantly raised his glass as well, saying, "May everything go smoothly."
They bumped into each other and exclaimed that everything was going smoothly. Then, to Dawson's surprise, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Dahai gulped down the wine in their glasses.
Dawson and his companions were dumbfounded.
Under the watchful eyes of several people, Dawson had no choice but to put the wine glass to his lips.
Huh?
This wine is alright.
So the four of them finished the wine and thought it tasted pretty good.
Dawson was even more puzzled, as this was different from the baijiu he usually drank.
However, he didn't say much. He could drink three bottles of this kind of wine.
Yang Xiaotao urged everyone to eat, and this time he specially prepared knives and forks for their convenience.
As the drinks and dishes were served in succession, the atmosphere at the table reached its climax.
Soon after, Shaoxing wine became Laobaigan (a type of Chinese liquor).
After finishing two more glasses, Dawson felt dizzy and his eyelids were drooping.
Before that, the other three had already been lying on the table.
Dawson glanced at Yang Xiaotao, who had already lain down to sleep beside him, and then at the chubby, round face opposite him. He felt dizzy and couldn't hold on any longer.
Snapped
After seeing Dawson collapse, Wang Dahai called out twice to confirm that the man was truly drunk, then quickly beckoned the people behind him to come forward and help.
Then seven or eight people came out from behind, lifted the four people up one by one, and then took them to their residence.
Yang Xiaotao, who had been lying on the table, immediately got up after the four people took him away.
He only drank some rice wine, then pretended to be drunk and slumped on the table.
People are already awake.
"Are you all ready?"
Yang Xiaotao got up and stretched his arms and legs, while Wang Dahai let out a burp, indicating that he had indeed drunk quite a bit.
"Everyone is here, the plane has been pushed into the warehouse, and everything is ready."
"go!"
After saying that, Yang Xiaotao walked out.
