Three Things You Have to Do
Chapter 3126 Three Things You Must Do
As it turns out, sometimes no matter how much you do, you can't withstand the selfless assistance of your opponent.
Yang Xiaotao is feeling this way right now.
Although he really didn't want that assist.
in the office.
Yang Xiaotao sat to the side, not wanting to say anything.
Mr. Qing, Mr. Peng, and Mr. Chen sat opposite each other. One held a teacup in one hand, another flipped through documents in the other, and the third was fighting with his two thumbs.
The three of them were doing their own thing and were quite relaxed.
Seeing that the three of them seemed to be enjoying the show and weren't in a hurry at all, Yang Xiaotao became restless.
It's not good to just waste the whole morning here.
If I had this time, I could go back and play on the computer for a while.
But then, considering the current situation, Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Today, Qing Lao specially summoned me to Chen Lao's office, and he immediately spoke of three things.
First, the matter was discussed multiple times by higher authorities.
The decision was made to continue the space-based weapon program, and the task was assigned to Department Nine.
Secondly, due to the existence of space-based weapons, two opposing views have emerged internationally.
One group, led by Japan and India, wants to restrict this "terrifying" weapon.
These two guys, one is restricted from researching rocket technology, and the other is technically incapable of making it, so they can only resort to this method to seek a sense of existence.
Another option is for countries like North Korea, Siam, and India to acquire this type of "deterrent" weapon.
Of course, they didn't want to be like the Persians and desert camels; they wanted complete control over the situation.
So, just for the sake of opposing, Nam'an and South Goguryeo jumped out.
In short, the world has become even more chaotic because of this alliance.
Third, the alliance wants to introduce production lines for computers, printers, and pagers, and has sent a delegation that will arrive soon.
It is said that the alliance has shown great sincerity this time.
Yang Xiaotao wanted to refuse any of these three requests.
First of all, this is completely misguided command.
Others might not know about tungsten rods and such, but how could the three people in front of them not know?
Especially since some people were there in person, how could they agree to let those people make a mess of things?
They even carry one with every satellite launch. How much did they drink to come up with such a terrible idea?
If you have that ability, wouldn't it be better to bring more instruments and equipment up with you?
Knowing it's a trap, why do you still jump in? What kind of nonsense is this!
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao glanced at President Peng, only to find that President Peng also looked over and smiled at him.
Yang Xiaotao was speechless.
The second thing was even more damn meddlesome, and they even led the resistance, acting as if they had done something heinous.
And the reaction from the Japanese islands—that's far too sensitive.
And Bei'an? That's a damn dream.
As for the third one, that must be a dream, or else he's dreaming.
If the production line is moved there, will it still be our own?
In other words, foreign countries haven't fully mastered computers yet. If they wait until others can copy them, who cares who you are?
Therefore, Yang Xiaotao didn't want to deal with any of these three.
But the three people sitting in front of me have a clear meaning.
After thinking it over, I realized that a complete rejection was impossible.
Therefore, I can only agree to a limited extent!
Thinking this through, Yang Xiaotao straightened up and said, "Three leaders, this is really not a good thing to do!"
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao speak again, Elder Qing put down his teacup, President Peng put down the papers he had been flipping through many times, and Elder Chen moved his hands away, revealing a smile.
It's not that we won't do it, it's that it's difficult.
At least compared to when she first spoke, her attitude was noticeably better.
The three of them didn't even need to exchange glances; they immediately knew what to say.
This is the result of years of experience and tacit understanding in the struggle.
Then Old Chen said, "Tell me, how far can you go?"
Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath before saying, "Firstly, we can only undertake this three more times, which means sending up three tungsten rods."
"Any more would be detrimental to our development."
As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, General Peng shook his head and said, "Three is too few. Our military plan is for ten!"
"The kind of trip that can take you all over the world!"
Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes. "President Peng, you make it sound so simple. Ten sticks? That's such a waste of resources."
"Is it worth spending so much money just to drop a 150mm shell?"
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's rebuttal, President Peng didn't care and just smiled, "Do you know?"
"What outsiders are seeing now is a 30-meter tsunami."
"Imagine what it would be like if this tsunami struck the Pacific coast, the Atlantic coast, or the Indian Ocean coast?"
Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth, and suddenly understood what Boss Peng meant.
At this moment, Elder Qing also spoke up, "We insiders know about this, but outsiders don't."
"Moreover, only a very small number of people know the truth; most are unaware of it."
"It's like a mushroom egg; you can do without it, but you can't live without it!"
"On the contrary, the more we send up, the safer the people at home feel."
"Those who live abroad should keep their claws hidden!"
Yang Xiaotao had already accepted it in his heart, but he still said, "Ten is too many, we can't afford it."
President Peng laughed, "You can't afford it?"
"Old Chen, calculate how much money he made this time!"
Old Chen didn't speak, but just looked at Yang Xiaotao with a slight smile on his lips.
Yang Xiaotao looked at Old Chen, then at Old Qing, and finally took a deep breath, "Okay, ten it is."
"At worst, we can build a satellite and take ten of them up with us."
Yang Xiaotao's somewhat resentful words were like a world opening up to President Peng: "That's a good idea, not bad at all."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao quickly changed the subject, "Our Ninth Department can't handle all the satellite research projects for other countries!"
"However, it can be given to other departments!"
Yang Xiaotao didn't make a definitive statement, after all, there are more than nine such films in China these days!
General Peng shook his head again, "We can ignore everyone else, but the quota for Bei'an must be given!" Yang Xiaotao was confused, but Old Chen explained, "We have comrades in Bei'an!"
"Our comrades?"
Yang Xiaotao looked suspicious, while Old Chen nodded solemnly, "You're young, you might not understand."
"There are people close to us within Bei'an now; those people were once our comrades."
Yang Xiaotao raised his eyelids, still not quite understanding.
However, he has also learned some things over the years.
In previous years, there was a falling out with the alliance. As an important "little brother" of the alliance, Bei'an naturally followed the leader and was not very friendly to the domestic situation.
However, as the alliance's attitude changed, Bei'an had no choice but to swallow his pride and come to Beijing to apologize.
Hearing Mr. Chen say this now, it's highly likely that it's related to internal power struggles.
Giving the other party a spot right now could have an unexpected effect.
"Okay, but you still have to pay!"
Yang Xiaotao finally agreed, and President Peng nodded with a smile, "You can discuss the money yourselves. How much you get is up to you."
Then he added with a laugh, "Of course, only this once, and only one!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded. If there was only one, the other party would probably keep it as a trump card and wouldn't use it easily.
This way, the risk of exposure can be avoided!
"The third one!"
Just as Yang Xiaotao was about to speak, Elder Qing interjected, "This third one is very important!"
Yang Xiaotao gasped. He had originally intended to disagree with everything, but after what Qing Lao said, Yang Xiaotao felt that it wasn't entirely impossible.
"Well, the computer production line isn't working!"
Yang Xiaotao tentatively said, but seeing that the old man's expression remained unchanged, he continued, "The production line standards for printers are too high. I'm afraid even if we give them to them, they won't be able to manage it!"
Old Qing picked up his teacup, took a sip, but said nothing.
Looking at Old Chen again, the latter was just smiling, and Yang Xiaotao had an idea in mind.
"You can take out this pager."
"This is one of our Ninth Division's flagship products. Its performance goes without saying; everyone who uses it says it's great!"
"Furthermore, West Germany is already using it, and the results are excellent. I believe that through this World Cup, it will soon become famous all over the world!"
"Then there are Japan and Southern Goguryeo; people from both places have already come to learn..."
"Recently, Persia and Saudi Arabia have contacted us, eager to send us money."
"If we give them the production line, not only will we lose market share from the alliance and member countries, they might even steal our market share..."
As Yang Xiaotao spoke, the three people beside him exchanged glances and then nodded in unison.
"Okay, then let's go with the pager production line!"
Qing Lao nodded in agreement, and Yang Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do this as soon as possible!"
Peng reminded him from the side, and Yang Xiaotao nodded, then asked curiously, "What benefits can we gain from doing this, three leaders?"
After the question was raised, Elder Qing laughed and said, "There are many benefits, but you should have a long-term perspective."
Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately, not caring what 'long-term' meant; he figured nodding was the right thing to do now.
Moreover, the pager's "flowering period" is not long.
In the future, let alone satellite phones, the advent of mobile phones will relegate pagers to the dustbin of history.
What's more, there's something called 'Little Smart' in the middle of all this.
While both are local communications, PHS (Personal Handyphone System) allows for instant calls, making it faster than pagers.
Yang Xiaotao already has a plan to develop the "Little Smart" within three to five years and gradually replace pagers.
Of course, before that, the profits from pagers must be squeezed dry.
This collaboration with the alliance will allow them to reap the greatest benefits.
After speaking with Qing Lao and the other two, Yang Xiaotao got up to take his leave.
"My lords, I'll go back and make the arrangements now."
Old Qing nodded. "Go ahead and get busy. This has taken up most of your day."
Yang Xiaotao smiled and then walked out of the office.
After Yang Xiaotao left, the three of them looked at each other and then laughed.
"Did we go a bit too far this time?"
Suddenly, President Peng spoke up, but Old Chen shook his head and remained silent.
They know in their hearts whether it's excessive or not.
In the past, there would have been no room for negotiation on these three matters.
Looking at the current international situation, it is unpredictable and volatile, and they need to respond proactively.
The league provided a perfect opportunity for them to take advantage of the chaos.
By confirming the power of space-based weapons, Persia was able to stabilize its domestic situation, and the desert camels were able to secure the benefits gained from the oil war.
Both are equally important for domestic development.
A more peaceful relationship with Bei'an would reduce threats from the surrounding areas.
Furthermore, partnering with the alliance sends a signal that makes those with ulterior motives more cautious.
In particular, it can mitigate the impact of the Natu Island incident.
After considering all these factors, they could only offer some benefits.
Upon hearing this, Qing Lao stood up and said, "Don't worry, this is nothing to him."
"Besides, they made quite a bit of money from this too."
Old Chen smiled and nodded, then stood up. "I now feel that the foreign exchange target of 300 billion is a bit too low."
Old Qing laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Then let's double it again next year."
"If we don't put some pressure on this kid, we'll never know where his limits are."
Just as Mr. Chen was about to nod, Mr. Peng suddenly spoke up, "Yes, yes, let's propose another shipbuilding plan next year."
"You're kidding me."
Old Chen interrupted directly, "That's enough, you're really going to ship these ships one after another for free."
Peng didn't seem to care, and just smiled with his hands behind his back, "Didn't this kid say that an aircraft carrier needs two to work together to form a combat force?"
As he spoke, he gave Old Chen a smug smile.
Old Chen snorted coldly, "You're just bullying the young people."
After he finished speaking, all three of them were stunned.
Then they all laughed.
