Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 360: Benefits of Long-Range Missiles

Lu Shaohua had already made up his mind, but he was not in a hurry to say it out. Instead, he wanted to sort out the doubts in his mind. However, no matter how he assumed, it seemed unreasonable. Finally, he had no choice but to look up at Chang De and the other three, trying to find some clues from their expressions. But he was disappointed. When he looked up, he saw that the expressions of the four were full of expectation, expectation for his decision, and there was no other expression at all.

"Hey!" Lu Shaohua sighed and said, "There is no problem with the long-range missile technology. I can take it out..."

Lu Shaohua wanted to say something else, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Tianheng. "That's right, haha! It's just a matter of time before our country's military strength becomes stronger."

Lu Shaohua didn't know why Zhang Tianheng was so excited. He frowned and wanted to continue the previous topic, but was interrupted again. "…..."

"The Guangzhou Military Region is located close to the South China Sea, and there are constant disputes in the South China Sea. If we deploy another long-range missile battalion there, I wonder who would dare to act arrogantly." Li Changsheng said, implying that once the long-range missiles are manufactured, they will belong to his Guangzhou Military Region.

"Li Baopi, can you please calm down? Our Northeast Military Region is close to Russia, which is one of the powerful countries. If long-range missiles are manufactured, they will be equipped to our Northeast Military Region first. When will it be the turn of your Guangzhou Military Region?" Zhang Tianheng was not polite at all and shouted at the top of his voice.

"What? You want to practice again?" Li Changsheng showed no sign of weakness and picked on Zhang Tianheng's catchphrase, intending to hit him where it hurts.

"Damn it, what's wrong with your Guangzhou Military Region? Why don't we each bring out a regiment, without weapons, and fight one-on-one." Zhang Tianheng got furious and stood up from his chair with a furious face.

"..." Everyone was speechless. What are wars about now? Isn't it all about weapons and equipment? Yet Zhang Tianheng actually wanted to fight with bare hands. People who didn't know would still think it was the era of cold weapons.

"What era is it now? If you really dare, you can lead a regiment at a time, equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment in the military region, to fight a war of resistance." Li Changsheng retorted.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's set a time and have a confrontation." Zhang Tianheng said with a smile, his eyes shining, as if telling people, 'He Changsheng has been fooled.'

Li Changsheng also understood the meaning from Zhang Tianheng's eyes and didn't care at all.

"I say, Lao Zhang, can't you control your temper? It seems that the allocation of equipment to that military region is the business of the General Armament Department. It's not your turn to have the final say." Lao Deng spoke here.

"Hey, Old Deng, you don't know something. Last time, just the last time, three fighter jets, a cruiser, and a frigate were all distributed to the Guangzhou Military Region and the Nanjing Military Region. I got nothing. Do you think I wouldn't be angry?

"Oh? What's going on?" Mr. Deng seemed unaware.

"Hmph, ask them." Zhang Tianheng pointed at Li Changsheng and Zhao Hu and said.

Sure enough, Mr. Deng turned his eyes towards the two of them, full of inquiries.

"Haha!" Li Changsheng smiled and said, "Well, this happened a few years ago. The research institute copied five types of equipment, and I divided them into two types, oh, for use at sea."

"Hey!" Zhao Hu grinned and said, "I got three types of planes."

"Look, look, all five types of equipment were divided up by them. I still remember that the first stop for those five types of equipment when they were shipped into the country was our Northeast Military Region, but in the end, the cooked duck flew away, and I didn't even get a chance to catch it." Zhang Tianheng said angrily and helplessly.

"Ha ha!"

Everyone laughed. At this point, no matter whether it was Lu Shaohua, Deng Lao or Zeng Jianguo, they all understood why Zhang Tianheng was so excited. It turned out that he was so angry because he didn't get anything last time.

After laughing, Deng Lao did not comment on this topic. After all, he had abdicated. If he was still in power, he could still say a few words, but now his status is different. It is better not to say anything. He changed the topic and said, "Let's not say anything else. Let's ask the owner of the technology what else to say."

The other Dengs knew that Lu Shaohua had not finished speaking, but he was interrupted again and again, so he didn't say anything.

"Hmm." Li Changsheng frowned and continued, "The Phoenix Group's headquarters is in Shenzhen. I know a little bit. Oh, I remember that the Phoenix car that has been making a lot of noise recently seems to be a product produced by your group."

Lu Shaohua nodded, which was considered as an admission.

"So, your Phoenix Group's market value is probably over 10 billion. You should not be short of money, but I'm afraid you may be short of other things," Li Changsheng said again.

Lu Shaohua didn't answer in a hurry, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, "Sure enough, everyone is not simple!" Lu Shaohua secretly kept an eye on the others. Whether it was Zhang Tianheng or Chang De, he paid attention to them. In the end, the result was that none of the four people were simple.

Look, Li Changsheng's words confirmed his guess and hit the nail on the head.

"Indeed, it is no problem for me to come up with the technology for long-range missiles, but there are conditions." Lu Shaohua's words were brief but serious.

In the last transaction, Lu Shaohua exchanged one military technology for one condition. Now there is only one item, the long-range missile, but Lu Shaohua does not plan to exchange one for one, because the importance of long-range missiles is far higher than the last five military technologies.

"Well, let's move on to the second topic." Deng Lao said calmly, then looked at Lu Shaohua and asked, "What do you need this time?"

Lu Shaohua smiled strangely, raised one hand, raised five fingers, and said, "I have five conditions. If you can agree to these five conditions, I will send the long-range missile technology back to China the day after tomorrow at the latest."

From this moment on, Lu Shaohua no longer regarded Deng Lao as his godfather, but as a negotiating partner. He also revealed his businessman's face and began to ask for a huge amount of money.

"It's not too much, but you should still tell us your five conditions first. If we can make the decision, we can agree to your request now." As the person in charge of the negotiations, Mr. Deng did not regard Lu Shaohua as his godson, but as a businessman, a profit-seeking businessman.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua hummed, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down first to deal with the next negotiation. After a long while, he continued. "The first condition is also a relatively simple one. I hope that when government departments purchase some necessary equipment, Phoenix Group's products will have priority consideration."

"Oh!" Old Deng was a little surprised that Lu Shaohua was trying to attract business, but then he frowned and said, "It seems that your company has only produced cars so far, right?"

"Yes, now there are only cars, but by the beginning of next year, there will be several electronic products, and more importantly, computers will also come out." Lu Shaohua answered truthfully.

Deng nodded, but did not agree in a hurry. Instead, he turned to deep thought. After a long while, he said, "I know Phoenix Automobile. The quality is very good. We have no reason not to support domestic products. But I don't know about other products. So before I agree to you, I have to add a condition, that is, the quality must be good. If not, then there is nothing we can do."

Deng Lao's words were equivalent to his agreement, and Lu Shaohua had nothing to say, so he responded confidently. "No problem."

"What about the second condition?"

"The second condition is that I plan to invest in an aircraft manufacturing base in the country, mainly to produce aircraft for civil aviation, and we can cooperate with the country." Lu Shaohua put forward the second condition.

"No problem." Deng Lao agreed without thinking. As long as it wasn't for making military fighters, there would be no problem at all. Lu Shaohua also said that we could cooperate with the country, so that was even less of a problem.

"Well, let me talk about the third one." Lu Shaohua looked up at Deng Lao's face and saw that there was no difference, so he continued. "Some things developed by state-owned research institutes, oh, suitable for civilian use, I have priority to cooperate."

Lu Shaohua brought the idea to the research institute for a simple reason. There are many research institutes in the country with many experts in various fields. Sometimes they would develop some electronic products, and he had the priority right of cooperation, so he could get the technology, develop it into products, and put it on the market to make money.

"Haha! You actually set your sights on the research institute." Elder Deng laughed and said, "With your current financial strength, if the research institute can cooperate with you, it can also save money for the country. Why not do it?"

Lu Shaohua nodded. He hadn't noticed this at first, but now that Deng Lao had said it, it seemed to be the case. He suddenly turned his conditions into a mutually beneficial plan. Lu Shaohua shook his head and smiled bitterly, but it didn't matter. As long as he could make money, it was fine.

After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Deng agreed to three of his conditions. Then it was time to talk about the fourth one. The fourth one was still very difficult. Lu Shaohua was a little afraid that Mr. Deng would not agree. However, as things had developed to this point, he had no choice but to go ahead with it.

"I need the National Research Institute to help me research two satellites and launch them into space within the next five years." Lu Shaohua's words were not surprising, and he put forward the conditions for building satellites. "Oh! My satellite is going to be used for communication, and I will pay for the necessary funds."

Lu Shaohua added one last sentence.

This time, Elder Deng did not speak immediately. He frowned and looked at the other five people, including Zeng Jianguo. After exchanging glances for a long time, Elder Deng asked to confirm. "Only for communication?"

"Yes, I plan to set up a wireless communications company, so I need satellites." Lu Shaohua said truthfully.

The plan to set up a wireless communications company had already been made long ago, but Lu Shaohua had never taken action. Now, taking this opportunity, Lu Shaohua can start.

"If it's just used for communication, then there's no problem," said Mr. Deng.

Seeing that Deng Lao agreed, Lu Shaohua's face lit up with joy and he couldn't help but speak, but after a while, he suppressed the joy in his heart and added, "Although these two satellites will be completed within five years, one of them must be launched into space within three years."

"That shouldn't be a problem." Deng Lao nodded and agreed. He knew that with the current domestic technology, it would not be difficult to build a communications satellite within three years. "Can you tell me the fifth condition now?"

"Well, then I will tell you the last condition." When Lu Shaohua said this, his face was no longer so serious. On the contrary, there was a bit of indescribable weirdness on it.

"Well, go ahead, I'm listening."
