Super technology leader

"Glug glug glug~"

The hot pot was bubbling continuously, and the aroma wafted through the air, but the minds of the liaison team were elsewhere.

From the moment they sat down, they knew they were up against a formidable opponent.

Looking at the hot pot on the table, the empty seats beside it, the rocket engine against the wall, and everything else in the warehouse, it was all prepared for them.

What does it mean to take someone by surprise?

This is what it means to take someone by surprise!

Over a dozen hours, mostly at night, created a significant information gap, all within the calculations of Tang Chao's team.

But there was no way around it, especially since Tang Chao's team had appeared so suddenly and with such strength.

An organization with aerospace technology more advanced than Tianxia Aerospace Group was not so easy to "deal with."

Watching Tang Chao pick up meat with his chopsticks, Professor Zhang sighed inwardly, impressed by the young man's capabilities, which also conveniently proved his theory.

【Understanding young people is understanding the future.】

He truly practiced what he preached, getting along well with young people and earning their affection.

Tang Chao had just placed a few slices of meat into his bowl when he felt someone watching him. He looked up and met Professor Zhang's gaze.

Observing everyone else's demeanor, he said, "I sincerely apologize for dragging everyone out to work at this hour. It's my fault, so I prepared a hot pot. Let's eat and talk."

"Since I didn't know everyone's preferences, I didn't make a spicy broth, but there are chili peppers in the seasonings. The experts can mix them according to their own tastes."

Hearing Tang Chao's words, Professor Zhang, who didn't know how to start the conversation, didn't stand on ceremony. He said to the others, "Since Mr. Tang has said so, let's start eating. Let's not waste Mr. Tang's kindness, and this old man is indeed hungry."

As the team leader spoke, the others naturally picked up their chopsticks, but the atmosphere wasn't very lively.

Everyone sat around the table. Tang Chao faced the warehouse door, and the others faced the three walls, next to which were rocket engines, visible with a glance.

This would be fine if it were a museum, filled with outdated products, but these were the most advanced rocket engines in the world.

Rocket experts constantly sought to catch up with the world's most advanced technology, eager to study the data, but no one would sell it to them. There was nothing they could do.

Now, these rocket engines, which were embargoed and impossible to observe up close, were just a few meters away. How could they eat?

Tang Chao naturally noticed this, but he wasn't worried. He had more plans in store. He was more concerned about Professor Zhang's presence.

He didn't believe that the professor's appearance was just a coincidence. His background must have been researched, knowing that he was a fan, which was why he was here.

The other side had a plan, and so did he.

Negotiation Tactic Three: Everyone, make yourselves at home.

"Director Zhang, you're too kind. Just call me Little Tang. I admire you very much. If others in the bureau hear you calling me 'Mr. Tang,' I'll be fired."

"And the other experts, don't rush. At least eat something to fill your stomachs before looking at the engines. They're not going anywhere, but if you get sick from hunger, I'll be in big trouble."

Professor Zhang and the experts were taken aback. Professor Zhang didn't expect the negotiation partner to "lower his status," while the experts focused on Tang Chao's last sentence.

One expert asked directly, "We can go look?"

"Of course. They're there to be seen. Look all you want, you can even touch them."

Tang Chao said very casually.

Hearing this, several experts were about to get up immediately, which left Tang Chao speechless but also more respectful of these experts.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "How about this? Experts, finish what's in the pot. After this pot is done, you can do whatever you want. We'll eat the next pot."

"Okay, you said it."

Then, watching the older rocket experts devour the contents of the pot with the speed of soldiers in battle and quickly wipe their hands before heading towards the engines, Tang Chao felt that he was really not suitable to be a negotiator.

Unfortunately, it's always difficult to keep humans rational.

With the aerospace experts gone, only three people remained at the table, along with the empty hot pot.

Tang Chao started refilling the hot pot with ingredients, while Professor Zhang and Little Zhao exchanged glances, both reading an important message in each other's eyes: there would definitely be a big gain today.

Sure enough, after Tang Chao randomly threw a bunch of ingredients into the hot pot, he spoke again.

"Let's eat and chat. We've already eaten, so let's talk business. After all, we're all here for business."

"Here's the thing. Our organization has technology, but it's not very large. Now we want to expand and contribute to the happiness of all mankind, but going the conventional route is too slow, so we came to you. We can make a win-win deal."

"I have a list here, which is our sincerity, and what we want is…"

Listening to Tang Chao get straight to the point, Professor Zhang and Little Zhao were very happy. Filtering out the classic platitudes like "for the sake of all mankind" that many organizations, companies, and groups would say, they quickly grasped the core information Tang Chao was conveying.

"We" indicates that the other party is indeed an organization, whether the number of members is small or not is another matter.

This was consistent with their analysis, because an individual could not possibly have this kind of ability.

"Win-win" indicates that the cooperation conditions should not be too harsh, and also indirectly indicates that the domestic science and technology industry needs to take some shortcuts.

This was their initial speculation, and also Tang Chao's Negotiation Tactic Four: After the conditions are right, only say half of what you mean.

The most up-to-date novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Saying half of what you mean has different effects depending on the person.

If an ordinary person did this, basically no one would care, but the more hardcore strength you show, the richer other people's imaginations will be.

Then, a wave of wild speculation came.

That list!

Professor Zhang gave Tang Chao a new email address, and Tang Chao sent the list over.

This email address was a special one, not only highly confidential but also allowing the rear headquarters of this operation to observe.

The headquarters opened the list, and their hands trembled after reading the table of contents. As they scrolled down the subdirectories, their legs unconsciously became a little weak.

But their spirits became more and more亢奋!

Even without listening to the rear headquarters' explanation, Professor Zhang understood the significance of these things.

He was not an ordinary person.

He had many titles, including Deputy Director of the Military Science and Technology Equipment Teaching and Research Department, Academic Leader of Military Equipment Science, and Director of the Military Future Research Association.

Before retirement, he worked in combat units, research institutes, and military academies for a long time. He was a true big shot.

After reading it, his usual kind and calm expression disappeared, and he asked in shock, "These really… can all be traded?"

"Yes, this is the content of this transaction. If the cooperation is pleasant, we can continue to cooperate in the future."

Compared to the shocked Professor Zhang, Tang Chao was much calmer. After speaking, he continued to eat hot pot, as if these materials were nothing.

But now the Great Giant Zhang couldn't care about that. After apologizing to Tang Chao, he ignored the rocket experts who were still touching the engines and returned to the car with Little Zhao to discuss the situation with the headquarters.

Compared to what Tang Chao wanted to exchange, the benefits the country would receive were incredibly cost-effective, even unbelievably cheap.

Tang Chao's requests sounded like a lot, such as a state-of-the-art comprehensive aerospace research and manufacturing center, an aerospace launch base, preferential policies, and huge amounts of funding, but after comparing and calculating carefully, it didn't seem like much.

The aerospace center needed to have the ability to design and produce various spacecraft, as well as an astronaut training center, and a runway for the highest-standard aircraft, equivalent to several in one.

The requirements for the launch base were the same, requiring a lot, but the country could do it all.

The location would be chosen by Tang Chao himself.

Of course, they wouldn't make things difficult and wouldn't require it to be built on Mount Everest or abroad. If experts determined that a construction site was unsuitable after investigation, they could change the location.

From the requirements, it could be seen that Tang Chao's team wanted to enter the aerospace field, and this exchange could be considered a win-win situation.

Just as Tang Chao himself said, progress through ordinary channels was too slow, and the national team was best suited to do this kind of resource mobilization and infrastructure construction, which could complete the requirements in the shortest amount of time.

And the national team lacked some high-precision technology, which Tang Chao could provide in full, and judging by their confidence in entering the aerospace field, they should have a lot of good technology.

But Professor Zhang and the rear headquarters generally believed that the country was making a profit, and Tang Chao's side was slightly losing, because the applicability of those technologies was too broad.
