Scholars in the courtyard

#2436 - Private Customization

As the ticking sound from the radio continued, the conversation between the two sides became more intense.

The words used in communication were no longer simple explanations, even some daily expressions were sent.

Fortunately, the communication codes they used were simple and easy, and the telegraph operators were able to decipher them quickly, which facilitated communication between the two sides.

"Your Highness, so we can't buy this plane?"

Faisal inquired.

"Yes, not only can we not buy it, but we also have to spread the word that it is too expensive and we can't afford it."

"Your Highness, do you still want to talk about this plane?"

"Idiot, you can't buy this plane, you have to buy other weapons."

"Your Highness, I still don't understand."

Faisal knew very well that he had to be honest with his master.

If you know, you know; if you don’t understand, you don’t understand.

If you pretend to understand and misunderstand your master's meaning, you will probably become the big cat's dinner.

"China has risen very quickly in recent years. The fact that they were able to defeat the United States this time shows that they are quite powerful."

“We need to make friends with countries like this.”

"Your Highness, I understand. It means spending money to make friends."

"Yes, buy some weapons by the way. Aircraft, tanks, armored vehicles are all fine. We need advanced weapons to protect our oil."

Seeing this, Faisal continued to ask, "Your Highness, do you need to buy Chinese fighter planes? I feel that Chinese planes still have their merits, especially in terms of speed, which is much better than the Alliance's planes!"

Perhaps it was the sincerity and respect shown by Yang Xiaotao and his friends during the conversation in the morning that touched Faisal deeply.

Thinking back to what happened in the alliance, those guys were eager to let him buy it, and even resorted to dishonorable means to do so.

Therefore, compared to the alliance, he would rather cooperate with China.

After the telegram was sent, Faisal waited for more than ten minutes before receiving a reply.

"Idiot, forget about the Alliance's planes. What will the United States think if we buy Alliance's planes?"

Faisal looked at the paper in his hand and fell into deep thought.

What do you think?

You can tell with your toes that the other party will definitely be unhappy.

But this cannot be said.

"But your highness, if we buy from China, will the United States mind? Their relationship is also very bad."

"You are really stupid. How can China compare with the Alliance? In the eyes of the United States, there has only been one opponent, and that is the Alliance."

"China's other aircraft are not taken seriously by the United States. If you buy their products, the Alliance will not care, and the United States will not take them seriously."

Seeing that the tone of the telegram sent by His Royal Highness was obviously unfriendly, Feisal did not dare to say anything more and quickly replied, "Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely have a good talk with Huaxia and bring their plane back."

"ASAP."

The other party only replied with two words, but Faisal felt deeply pressured.

ASAP!

Does it mean that we need to reach cooperation with China as soon as possible?

But how can I cooperate?

I have no idea what's going on.

Looking at the time, I realized that it was already afternoon without me noticing.

Only then did I feel hungry.

But he was in no mood to pay attention to these things. After leaving the telegraph room, he asked his entourage to find Yang Xiaotao and others to confirm the time for the afternoon meeting.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao and his friends walked around the restaurant to digest the food.

"The last time I came here, it was for some kind of 'exchange meeting' and we even played a basketball game here."

Yang Xiaotao was recalling the past, and Tang Mingyue nodded beside him. He also participated in the exchange meeting to welcome Xiao Rizi.

"I thought we would have it again this year, but who would have thought it wouldn't be possible anymore."

Hearing the regret in Tang Mingyue's tone, Yang Xiaotao curled his lips and said, "It's better if you don't come."

"They were just pretending to be nice to us. People who don't know the truth really think they can be friendly."

At this point, Yang Xiaotao remembered what Mr. Peng said when they were in Qindao, and couldn't help but laugh, "But this time we went over their heads, they should be more honest."

Tang Mingyue smiled, while Old Qin smoked a cigarette, also looking proud, "You know what, the sea has been much quieter since the last time we took a plane over there."

"How dare you not keep quiet? He has taken down his nest."

Yang Youning spoke viciously at the side, and Chen Gong just nodded.

They came along on a whim today, but they will have to take care of their own things tomorrow, but what they saw today was really eye-opening.

"Do you think the other party will cooperate with us?"

"If it really doesn't work, let's just sell the J-7. After all, it's a mature fighter and its effects are not bad."

Yang Youning tried to persuade him, but Old Qin shook his head and said, "If there is no J-10 to compare with, the J-7 is not bad either."

"But if this person eats white flour buns, will he be happy if he is asked to eat corn flour later?"

Hearing this, Yang Youning nodded.

Yang Xiaotao said indifferently, "Why think so much? It's still uncertain."

"If the other party just walks away, it will be useless for us to think too much."

Everyone agreed.

After walking for a while, Tang Mingyue left early because she had to report what happened this morning so that her superiors could have a basic understanding.

As for Yang Xiaotao, since Mr. Qin is here, there is no need for him to report.

A few grown men found a corner, took out cigarettes, started puffing smoke and chatting about interesting things.

Just then, a hotel staff member came running over.

When everyone saw this, they knew clearly that the result was probably out.

"Military Yang, Ministry Qin, there is news from the other side."

"They want to have the meeting as soon as possible, at 2:30."

After the staff member finished speaking, Mr. Qin smiled meaningfully.

Tang Mingyue's gaze shifted to Yang Xiaotao.

The smile on Yang Xiaotao's face faded, replaced by a serious look.

It’s a bit difficult to get the other party to follow the script.

After confirming, Mr. Qin looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "It's most likely a follow-up cooperation. What do you think?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded calmly, "Be open and honest and speak your mind."

Old Qin didn't expect Yang Xiaotao to say this. After he reacted, he felt that this was a good idea.

Cut the Gordian knot.

If it works, then it works. If not, don't waste your time.

When everyone arrived at the conference room, Yang Xiaotao walked in and saw Faisal already sitting in his original seat.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao and others come in, he hurriedly stood up and went forward to greet them.

"Dear Mr. Yang, I am here to express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of His Royal Highness Prince Abdul Aziz Al Saud."

“Thank you for treating us, God’s people, sincerely.”

Faisal held Yang Xiaotao's hand and kept talking, not giving Yang Xiaotao any chance to let go.

After he had said all the nice things, Yang Xiaotao finally said, "Thank you for your compliment."

"And thank you, His Royal Highness, for your friendship."

"Thank you for your sincerity to each other. Long live friendship."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This simple answer made Faisal very happy, and he held Yang Xiaotao's hand even tighter.

"Yes, long live friendship."

After the two finished talking, they walked to their respective seats and sat down.

After a moment's silence, Faisal finally spoke.

"Dear Mr. Yang, after careful consideration, we have decided to follow your advice."

"Let's give up on this White Horse fighter and the Blue Ghost for now."

"However, if conditions are ripe in the future, we still want to buy it."

After Faisal finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately.

"Our doors will be open and we will always welcome friends who sincerely come."

Faisal stood up and saluted, "Thank you, thank you all my sincere friends."

Yang Xiaotao stood up and gently returned the greeting.

The two sides sat down again, and Faisal continued, "Although we cannot buy the best aircraft, considering the current situation, His Royal Highness still wants to buy some weapons."

“I wonder if you have any suitable suggestions.”

Having said this, everyone's eyes turned to Yang Xiaotao.

Old Qin even winked at Yang Xiaotao, meaning that he should speak quickly.

Yang Xiaotao nodded and said, "Mr. Faisal, if you need weapons, we have many weapons to choose from."

"I'd like to hear more about it."

Faisal smiled back.

"We have a lot of good weapons, such as the Type 63 rifle, which performed well in the Annan battlefield, as well as rockets and the mole assault vehicle that can carry soldiers for rapid assaults."

Yang Xiaotao did not directly express his attitude towards researching aircraft, but instead started dealing in arms.

"We are also familiar with these. If possible, we are willing to buy some, and we hope you can help mediate."

Faisal said respectfully.

These weapons are not expensive. To them, they are just a drop in the bucket.

"That's no problem. Mr. Qin can make the decision."

Yang Xiaotao said this to Mr. Qin, who immediately responded that there was no problem.

Then Yang Xiaotao continued, "As for the plane, I have a suggestion."

When hearing Yang Xiaotao talking about airplanes and saying that he had a suggestion, Faisal instinctively widened his eyes and listened carefully.

Yang Xiaotao said, "You also know that when we were manufacturing the Baiju fighter, we had many design options, and there were even some directions that we had not yet researched."

“It’s not that these directions are bad, but I don’t have the time, energy or funds to study them, so I didn’t continue.”

Having said that, Faisal already understood what Yang Xiaotao meant.

Then Yang Xiaotao continued to say, "My suggestion is that according to your requirements, needs and habits, we can select the most suitable one and customize a fighter jet for you."

"Specialized, customized?"

Faisal's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, to be precise, it's a custom order."

"This aircraft will be used exclusively by you, which means you are the only users."

Yang Xiaotao's tone became more serious, and he was almost about to say "unique".

Sure enough, as soon as this unique, customized attribute was revealed, Faisal's heart was moved.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the hunger in his stomach eased a little. Then he asked, "Dear Mr. Yang, can I ask how long it will take if we customize an airplane?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao smiled softly, "This won't be too long."

"You don't know that it took us more than ten years to develop the Baiju fighter. During this time, we have a mature engine, a mature design team, and even some parts that can be manufactured at any time."

"As long as you put forward your requirements, we can meet your needs and complete the production test flight as quickly as possible."

"As for the time, the fastest is three months, the latest is half a year."

"You can rest assured about this."

“Because we are professionals.”

After saying this, Yang Xiaotao exuded a strong sense of confidence.

The source of confidence is the system.

When Faisal saw this, his expression became serious.

His intuition told him that Yang Xiaotao was not lying.

Besides, there's no point in lying about things like this.

If it is not completed in the end, they will not buy it.

After much consideration, I still couldn't resist the temptation of "unique, customized".

"good!"
