Chapter 518: The tide turns

In the evening.

I had dinner with the leaders here. The dinner was simple, with three dishes and one soup.

Not long after we finished eating, the leaders of the China Aerospace Industry Corporation and the leaders of the army came over.

Then we discussed the sale of the Dongfeng-3 missile.

The leaders of the China Aerospace Industry Corporation and the army were very excited when they heard it. Sell, why not sell!

Before, they saw that the China Ordnance Industry Corporation made a lot of money. Other ministries and commissions had to go to the China Ordnance Industry Corporation to beg for dollars. It was inevitable that they would make a lot of favors.

Now it's good, the good days have finally come to the China Aerospace Corporation!

To be honest, the China Ordnance Industry Corporation has become the most beautiful baby in the country every year. It is impossible for them not to envy it.

Even the China Aerospace Corporation has become a subsidiary of the Panshan Group Corporation under the China Ordnance Industry Corporation. It can even be said that it is a subsidiary of the Southwest Ordnance Industry Corporation under the Panshan Group Corporation, which specializes in manufacturing the "Eagle Strike" series missiles and the "Aegis" series missiles for the Southwest Ordnance Industry Corporation.

After deducting costs, the China Aerospace Corporation can only make some hard-earned money and barely make ends meet.

Now, if it can get this $5 billion, even after deducting costs, it will still be a profit of $4.9 billion.

With $4.9 billion, if it is invested in the Chinese aerospace industry, let alone other things, the aerospace industry would have taken off long ago. It is impossible to surpass the United States and the Soviet Union, but at least it does not have to have fighter jets, helicopters, air-to-air missiles, and air-to-ground missiles that it can show off!

In the military industry, the people who live the most comfortably are those in the weapons industry system.

Why can they live the most comfortably?

It's because they have money!

With the huge amount of foreign exchange earned by Panshan Group every year and the continuous capital injection, even the military-to-civilian conversion can help the factories of the weapons industry system to lighten their load, move to the urban area to rebuild the factories, and be neatly incorporated into the local industrial bureau or provincial industrial department.

In contrast, the military-to-civilian conversion of other weapon systems has to rely on state funding, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are poor and destitute.

As for helping Saudi Arabia to build a missile base and train personnel, this is just a small matter.

Seeing these people's statements, the old man has a more determined decision.

As Liu Tao said, now on the international stage, China is just a supporting role, and the United States and the Soviet Union are the two poles competing for hegemony, and they are the protagonists.

If the sky falls, there will naturally be tall people to support it.

China only cares about making money and accelerating its own development. Many development problems are actually money problems in the final analysis. Now it seems to be a problem because there is no money!

If there is money, many problems will no longer be problems.

And with this money, the troops can be equipped with a batch of advanced missiles, and more advanced missiles can also be developed.

The money is delivered to the door, so how can we refuse it?

The next day, the leader took Prince Sultan to visit China's strategic missile base and closely visited the Vostok-3 strategic missile that he was about to purchase.

Before this, no foreigner could visit China's missile base in this way.

After personally visiting the Vostok-3 missile, Prince Sultan was very happy.

Sure enough, this trip did not disappoint him. With a good friend to help, things progressed quickly.

To be honest, he had tried to buy the US military's "Lance" ballistic missiles as a test of purchasing US military medium-range ballistic missiles.

However, the US government believes that Saudi Arabia's move will completely destroy the peace in the Middle East, and one end of the scale will tilt towards Arab countries, which is something the United States does not want to see.

Although Israel has advanced weapons, sufficient funds and technology, and a systematic combat plan. But the country is indeed only the size of a "palm", and a few missiles can destroy a large number of key facilities and institutions in Israel, and the country will face the risk of paralysis.

What's more, Israel does not have a systematic missile defense system. Even though the United States supported Israel's "Patriot missiles" a few years ago, its interception rate in the face of artillery shells and missiles was not satisfactory.

The United States naturally does not want the balance in the Middle East to be broken, so even the "Lance" ballistic missile with a range of 200 kilometers is very taboo, and directly rejected Saudi Arabia's request.

Even short-range missiles such as the "Lance" ballistic missiles are not willing to be sold by Americans, let alone medium-range ballistic missiles.

After several years of hard work, Saudi Arabia had to give up and turned its attention to China.

Because China is the third country in the world with medium-range ballistic missiles.

And in recent years, the relationship between the two sides has been heating up!

Just as the two sides were negotiating on the purchase of Dongfeng-3 medium-range ballistic missiles, Liu Tao took this opportunity to spend some time with his family.

After returning to Beijing, you can't just leave Beijing after finishing your business.

At the same time, Liu Tao also knew the results of the negotiations between the two sides after the US delegation arrived in China.

It can be said that both sides got what they wanted.

The United States cut off a channel for Libya to obtain weapons, and at the same time asked China to cooperate in some aspects. China also imported a large number of crops to solve the problems caused by domestic drought.

In recent years, China has suffered from severe droughts. Every year, a large amount of grain is imported from overseas for disaster relief and water conservancy construction.

If a large amount of grain had not been imported from overseas, it is unknown how many people would have starved to death.

Huaxia has also received support from the United States in terms of "re-entry into the GATT". It can be said that Huaxia's "re-entry into the GATT" has entered the countdown.

Although Huaxia needs to promise further reforms and give a timetable for reforms in relevant aspects, there will be external pressure in this regard, but it is also a driving force for further reforms.

Just when Liu Tao left Beijing, Saudi King Fahd's special plane officially arrived in Beijing to start a three-day visit to China.

Huaxia welcomed King Fahd's visit to China with high standards. This high standard is rare and will not appear several times a year.

This also fully reflects China's respect for King Fahd and Saudi Arabia!

When the two sides held a press conference, there was no mention of military trade at all, but it meant that the two sides would deepen cooperation in economic trade.

After all, these have to wait until they are completed, all matters are arranged, and then released in some form, so that they can have a deterrent effect on necessary countries, and at the same time avoid some external interference.

By that time, everything has been cooked, all the overall situation has been determined, and some external interference has no effect.

Liu Tao took a plane back to Kun City, Yunnan Province.

This time, Panshan Group will set up three companies, and these three companies will be more unique. They will not take 100% control, but will disperse the shares to confuse people.

Because these three companies will go public in the United States!

And the headquarters will be located in Hong Kong, and then research institutes will be built in various parts of China, and some research institutes will also be built overseas, but the main body will still be in China.
