Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Izvestia was founded in Petrograd in March 1917. At that time, it was called "Izvestia of the Petrograd Soviet of Workers' Deputies". It was a newspaper controlled by the Mensheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries. After the October Revolution, it came under the leadership of the Bolsheviks and later moved to Moscow for publication. The newspaper had a complete communication network in the Soviet Union and was printed simultaneously in 42 cities in the country.

In 1971, its circulation reached 8.5 million copies.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, Izvestia became a key newspaper that political and financial oligarchs competed for. After a bitter struggle, 51% of Izvestia's shares were sold to Onyxim Bank.

As the organ of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, it did not originally arrange for anyone to come to Xiangjiang to station. Now it is discovered that there is actually a test flight of a ground-effect aircraft in Xiangjiang, which makes the Soviet top officials a little bit uneasy. They were all worried that Soviet confidential information had been stolen, so they arranged for Varenko Popoka, a former Izvestia reporter and current operator of the KGB office in Hong Kong, to come to the Black Cloud Group for an on-site inspection.

The top Soviet officials were also worried about whether spies or domestic officials were deliberately selling technical information to Bao Zixuan during the trade with Heiyun. No matter what kind of payment was made, they would not accept it. Even if cooperation and relations are good, national interests cannot be betrayed. The interests of the Soviet Union are higher than the other. However, most of the current Soviet leaders have experienced World War II, and their dedication is deep in their bones.

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that the News would send a reporter here, but since he was here, he was a guest. It just so happens that I also send a message to the Soviets that I did not steal Soviet military secrets.

Valenko-Popoka organized his words in his mind. After all, he had not worked as a reporter for a long time. Looking at young reporters now, I really miss the days when I was working as a reporter. But he also knew that from the moment he walked through the door of the KGB, there was no turning back. In this life, you will either die in the mission, or you can retire and return to the country to live a life that is not very free.

Valenko-Popoka asked: "Hello, Mr. Bao. Just now, Mr. Mike Briffen said that this aircraft is mainly made of titanium alloy, and the Heiyun Group's titanium alloys all come from the great Soviet Union. Is that right? This means that if the Soviet Union stops selling titanium alloy products to Heiyun Group, the production of this aircraft will come to a standstill. Also, the Soviet Union was engaged in the research and development of ground-effect aircraft as early as the 1920s, and the Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft was in the development process Has China learned from the Soviet Union’s achievements in this regard?”

These two problems are very irritating. One is that I have the raw materials in my hands and can withhold supply to you at any time. At that time, you won’t be able to produce products even if you have the skills, and you will be told clearly to be careful and not to go too far in anything.

The other directly said that you plagiarized. This kind of behavior is a shameful behavior that is despised by everyone in the scientific research process. Once he admits or confirms it, he will have to bear a great loss to his reputation, especially for a high-tech enterprise like Heiyun, and Bao Zixuan is a super genius recognized by the world.

Bao Zixuan: "Indeed, as you said, titanium alloys are imported from the Soviet Union. If the supply is not obtained, subsequent product production problems may not be guaranteed. There is no way. However, we are also actively looking for alternative materials. It’s just that the current performance doesn’t meet the requirements.”

"As for what you said about borrowing, I don't understand what you mean. Mr. Mike Briffin sitting next to me has a doctorate in aircraft design and shipbuilding. It can be said that such talents cannot be found in the Soviet Union. He is a natural It was created for ground-effect aircraft, and I really can’t find anyone more suitable to develop this product than him.”

"As for you saying that the Soviet Union was engaged in research in this area in the 1920s, I really don't know very well. However, I can responsibly tell the world that Heiyun products definitely did not draw on the scientific research results of the Soviet Union."

"After the press conference, you can take a close look at the ground effect aircraft produced by Heiyun. It is docked at the pier by the sea. I can rest assured that you can visit it because many of the patented technologies belong to Heiyun. And let me tell you Enterprises with average design principles and technical parameters cannot produce it, because not every country and enterprise has such precision processing capabilities."

Bao Zixuan's words can be said to be very confident, even a little arrogant. If it is true as Bao Zixuan said, then Heiyun Group must be redefined. However, everyone can see that the Soviets are frustrated, not to mention happy. After all, the residual power of the Western-81 military exercise is still there. But people are also worried about the supply of raw materials. The Soviets really won't supply you, which is really a troublesome thing.

Sitting next to the Soviets was a Chinese reporter from Xinhua News Agency. Although their position should be higher in terms of strength, after all, Xiangjiang has not returned yet. This position is enough now. After all, China's national strength is still far behind other permanent members.

A reporter from Xinhua News Agency asked: "Hello, Mr. Bao. When will this aircraft be available for sale? Are you really ready to put such a powerful product into civilian use?"

This is a very relevant issue for many countries and institutions. Ground effect aircraft are very suitable for application in the military field. The combination of factors such as fast speed, heavy load, and ultra-low altitude is the best penetration weapon.

It can reach the enemy before the radar detects it, or launch missiles at a closer distance to the enemy. These are all things that ground effect aircraft can easily do.

Bao Zixuan: "I really can't answer when it will be mass-produced. Mike will introduce it to you later."

"As for the civilian use of products with such excellent performance that you asked about, the ground-effect aircraft itself is a product developed for transporting express delivery. Heiyun Group is not a military-industrial enterprise. All its products are civilian products, so new products have never been considered for military use. .”

Bao Zixuan made a gesture, and Mike Briffen, who was sitting next to him, said, "The Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft still needs to undergo many test flights. We need to get more reliable data before we can sell it to the outside world."

"Aircraft are different from other products. Once an accident occurs, it is likely to involve human lives. As a responsible company, Heiyun will never let customers bear this risk."

"Therefore, it will not be ready for the market until the end of this year at the earliest, provided that the supply of raw materials can be guaranteed."

Bao Zixuan's move also reassured the Soviets that without your titanium alloy supply, the ground-effect aircraft would not be produced at all. Another thing is to let other countries take a look. Sometimes it’s not that I don’t buy it for you, but the Soviets say they won’t sell me raw materials if they buy it for you.

Mike Briffen's words let Varenko Popoka know that he can deliver to the country. The Soviet Union still has the ability to control the non-proliferation of ground-effect aircraft. That is to work on raw materials. It depends on the domestic high-level officials. It's not something that a person of his level can decide.

The reporter behind asked some questions about Yulin Institute of Technology, and the gossip media was still interested in the personal life of Mr. Bao. They rely on this to attract the public's attention. Since Mr. Bao has said that he can ask questions at will, there really is nothing to worry about.

But for some reason, the Sing Tao Daily reporter was on the right track this time. He didn't dare to ask any excessive questions. He seemed to want to ease the relationship. After all, Heiyun Group and the entire Chinese business community do not want to see them, making development in Hong Kong difficult. The connections Hu Wenhu left behind were gradually lost. At this time, Hu Xian also knew that his arms could not twist his thighs after all.

Some time ago, I went to Mr. Huo Yingdong and wanted to make peace with him, but Bao Zixuan never showed up before he gave up. Now I see Mr. Bao holding a press conference. He first showed his good will, and then asked Mr. Huo to come forward and make peace with everyone so that everyone can live with it.

Huo Yingdong didn't want to care about this matter, but Sing Tao Daily had great influence not only in Hong Kong, but also in Southeast Asia, and could actively promote China's reform and opening up. He came forward for the sake of the national interest. I hope Bao Zixuan can let Hu Xian go if Sing Tao Daily is still of some use!

Sing Tao Daily was the first to jump up on many things. If Hu Xian wants to reconcile, he must first publish an apology in the newspaper. Otherwise, he would not care about this matter, but he must not ignore Bao Zixuan's feelings just because Sing Tao Daily has some effect. Huo Yingdong's heart is very clear about the importance.

Only then did a reporter from Sing Tao Daily take the initiative to show his kindness at the press conference, but these Bao Zixuan didn't know it yet. After all, he hasn't seen Huo Yingdong and others for a long time, and he doesn't know much about many things that have happened in Xiangjiang recently.
