Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

No one expected that the Italian media would become a blockbuster without making a fuss. He actually dared to ask any questions. It could be said that he had already thrown the question to Ustinov at this time. Everyone wanted to see how the Soviet Minister of General Armament would answer. After all, this was related to the peace and stability of the European continent.

As for Corriere della Sera reporter, why he asked this question is directly related to the Ranieri family. In the future, competition in the field of flying saucers will definitely be fierce. The United States, Britain, and France have all entered, and these countries are stronger than Italy in the aerospace field. But they were not willing to let it go.

Italians have a strong sense of national pride. After all, they have the glorious history of the Roman Empire and the European Renaissance, the treasures left by their ancestors; so they have always had a strong, but somewhat inexplicable, sense of superiority. At the same time, the efficiency of Italians is extremely low. For an extremely simple task, you may have to visit multiple departments, or the same department many times, and this is even if the language is no problem at all.

In addition, Italians are actually very fragile at heart, so most of them bully the weak and fear the strong.

If it is normal, or when you are alone with your family, you will definitely not dare to provoke polar bears easily. But it's the Paris Air Show now, and with so many people watching, the Soviets probably don't dare to do anything to them. At this time, Italians seem to have returned to 2,000 years ago, the ancient Roman period, and perhaps their hearts have become stronger in an instant.

Of course, the Italians have little confidence in themselves, although they know that the Soviets will definitely not give up the research and development of flying saucers. But even if I don’t ask clearly, I still won’t give in.

If the Soviets are intervening, then Italy should not invest money in this area; it has no confidence at all. They know very well that although the technology of domestic industrial production is not weak, the efficiency is really not flattering. When it comes to fashion and food, the Italians are probably the best. But when it comes to aerospace, I really don’t have much confidence.

However, Italy is bent on seeking the status of a great power and has done nothing; it is also very unwilling. All in all, I felt very conflicted, and my mind was already in a mess even before I started.

Ustinov Jr. smiled and said: "Thank you, Miss Reporter, for your question, but what I want to tell you is that currently, there is no relevant research and development plan for flight projects in the Soviet Union. Whether to enter in the future depends on whether there is one There is a real need. The Soviet aerospace industry has its own development plan."

"If you rush into an unfamiliar or unplanned project, it will inevitably affect the established plan and be detrimental to overall planning. Therefore, I cannot give you a clear answer in this regard. We still have to make decisions based on the stage of technological development."

When they heard that the Soviet Union had no plans to develop flying saucers, everyone at the scene showed incredulous expressions. After all, during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the two sides had always refused to give in to each other. The United States has developed advanced weapons and equipment, and the Soviet Union must have corresponding weapons. Even an airplane can't be worse than you; it can't even be one less person.

Both sides are competing with each other. Why did the Soviet Union give up now? What kind of operation is this?

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that with the Soviet economy and the specific domestic conditions, it is really impossible to fly a flying saucer. At least there is not much capital investment, so it is better to give up voluntarily.

Moreover, the Soviet Union had a planned economy, and everything had to be reported in advance. Moscow will definitely not pass any unreported idea. Bao Zixuan is a businessman and is bound to talk about issues from a business perspective. This has nothing to do with the quality of the relationship, it is just the most basic rules of the game.

If the Soviet Union wanted to introduce flying saucer technology from the Black Cloud Group, it would have to pay a corresponding price of US$5 billion. Although the Soviet military-industrial enterprises are very powerful this time, the domestic hole is not small; this amount of money cannot do much for a big country.

When a customer places an order, it must be delivered on time. These all require costs, and the real profits earned are not much.

It is estimated that at most a few aircraft will be exchanged from Heiyun Group, then everything will be explained.

The Soviets are currently not working hard on flying saucers. Although it is not necessarily very credible, it still makes the atmosphere at the scene more relaxed. Where is Lao Maozi's own strength? If he develops all kinds of weapons and equipment, he will not let anyone survive.

At this moment, the European reporters didn't feel so disgusted when they looked at little Ustinov; if this kid knew, I don't know how they would feel.

In fact, he was helpless. After all, Moscow had decided not to invest any money in the field of flying saucers in the short term. After all, the national economy is very difficult. If we invest billions of dollars at this time to develop projects that will not see any hope in a short period of time, it will be very uneconomical. But deep in the heart of little Ustinov, he still hopes that the Soviet Union can intervene early, otherwise he may not even be able to drink the soup in the end.

The Soviet military industry was very strong, but it can only be summed up in four words - stupid, stupid and rough. Although the power is not small, the precision and electronic aspects are far behind the West. We should strengthen our own shortcomings through flying saucer research and development. But even as the head of the General Armament Department, he is powerless and can only take things one step at a time.

It is hoped that Moscow will attach great importance to it, so that with the Soviet Union's technical strength in the aerospace field, there is still hope of catching up.

As another powerful country in the European military industry, Sweden is also the kind of person who makes a fortune silently. The research and development and production of weapons and equipment are definitely at the world's advanced level. Just because it is not in the core area of ​​the European continent, the population is less than 10 million; therefore, its weight in Europe is not that important.

But no one dares to ignore their existence, so they still have to give them the face they deserve.

Svenska Aftonbladet was founded in 1879 and is one of the largest newspapers in Sweden. It is headquartered in Stockholm. There are 1.5 million copies sold every day; it is very influential throughout the European continent.

The Paris Air Show is the most influential air show in the world. Of course, all countries must send the most powerful news force, otherwise they will not be able to compete with other counterparts.

The Swedish reporter asked: "Hello, Mr. Stillman! I am a reporter from the Swedish Aftonbladet. As everyone knows, Boeing also has a military department. I wonder if Boeing will have relevant plans in the future after seeing the performance of the flying saucer!"

Sweden has decided to conduct research, development and production in the field of flying saucers. Therefore, we must pay special attention to whether aerospace companies around the world will develop flying saucers.

Journalists during the Cold War had espionage-related tasks. It's just that they need to use chat skills to complete the task, which will not cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Moreover, being a reporter is a good cover in itself; therefore, everyone has received special training on how to ask questions.

If Boeing does not enter the field of flying saucers, can it pull it into the Swedish camp? Every country in the world has its own sources of intelligence. Heiyun Group licensed the flying saucer technology to a new American company. The new company has a strong military background and even requires exclusive authorization in the United States.

This makes it difficult for other American companies to enter the field of flying saucers unless they develop their own. At least the road through Heiyun is impossible. But there is another way to play, and that is for American companies to go abroad to develop flying saucers, or to cooperate with foreign companies.

Boeing has no shortcomings in terms of technical strength or economic strength. I asked for such a partner, but I couldn't find one even with a lantern.

Although he and Bao Zixuan had communicated in advance that Heiyun Group's flying saucer technology could be purchased with funds. There is also the support of the royal family, and Sweden’s own economic strength is also good; but I still feel very nervous about spending 5 billion US dollars at once. It can even be said that they have been forced to a dead end, at least there is no way out.

If you invest 5 billion US dollars and get nothing, then the Swedish Saab company is likely to go bankrupt. No one wants to see this kind of thing. Therefore, it is particularly important to find a strong partner. Boeing can not only help it share financial pressure, but can even provide technical and talent support.

I believe there will be no problem at all if the two companies join forces to produce and improve the Black Cloud UFO. It is even possible to let Boeing take more shares. As long as the production base is built in Sweden, everything else can be discussed.

It can be said that the Swedes have good calculations and their goals are very clear. If the plan succeeds, it may achieve unexpected results. But now we have to wait for Boeing's answer, and perhaps there will be countless negotiations in the future.
