Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

"You really want to know?"

Zhang Weiguo still didn't want to let the two know, for fear of damaging their views of the police.

"Comrade Weiguo, you'd better tell us. Otherwise, I'm starting to suspect that you are a spy for our country."

In fact, although Wang Jianguo’s words were unpleasant to hear, they were not without reason.

After all, in the 60s, if you, a Chinese, took out a small notebook, the police would happily release you. No matter how you think about it, it feels a little wrong.

"Captain Wang, Weiguo can't be a spy." Qian Shuyun defended Zhang Weiguo.

Wang Jianguo realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly explained: "Comrade Weiguo, that's not what I meant. I..."

"Captain Wang, I know what you mean." Zhang Weiguo was a little unhappy at this time, but he still explained, "I just secretly put 200 US dollars in the notebook." (The salary of the police here is 50 US dollars)

"what?"

"This……"

Wang Jianguo and Qian Shuyun felt that their three views were somewhat shaken. They did not expect that the police here would accept bribes so blatantly.

Zhang Weiguo explained: "The national conditions here are different from our country, and the police are not as righteous as you think."

"Does that mean you have to spend money again?" Qian Shuyun asked cautiously.

After all, in her opinion, Zhang Weiguo spent so much money just to stand up for herself.

Zhang Weiguo shook his head and did not give a direct answer. He just said, "Let's get back to the ship quickly."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the boat.

When everyone returned to the ship, Thomas came to Zhang Weiguo and asked, "Zhang, are you all right? I just saw you being taken away by the police. I wanted to ask Captain William to rescue you."

"Thanks, Thomas. We're fine now."

"Oh, Zhang. You must have spent a lot of money this time, right?" Thomas asked with a sly smile.

"200 U.S. Dollars."

"Oh, these vampires. Zhang, you are at a loss. If you had let Captain William come, it would only cost 50 dollars at most."

"Thomas, please go find Captain William as soon as possible next time."

After Zhang Weiguo finished speaking, he chatted with Thomas for a few more words, and then the three of them returned to the room.

At this time, everyone gathered in Zhang Weiguo's room.

Wang Jianguo was the first to speak: "Comrade Weiguo, thanks to you this time, otherwise we might have run into big trouble before we even got to America."

"Yes, Weiguo, this time it's all thanks to you." Qian Shuyun also said.

"No, can you tell us what happened?"

Lu Cheng and Li Ping'an looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

Wang Jianguo quickly recounted what had just happened on the shore.

"The police here are really..." Li Pingan said hesitantly.

"In fact, in these capitalist countries, these small matters can be solved with money, and even some big matters can be solved by lawyers."

Zhang Weiguo paused and continued, "This is why I told you before that you need to pay attention to "money."

"Alas, after hearing what you said, I wonder whether we can complete this mission." Lu Cheng sighed.

Everyone agreed.

After they chatted for a while, Zhang Weiguo asked, "Now we are only a few days away from arriving in America, can you tell us what we are going to buy this time?"

After Zhang Weiguo asked this question, everyone except Li Pingan looked at Wang Jianguo.

"No, it's useless for you to look at me. I don't know either. When I left, Minister Wang told me that I was only responsible for your safety." Wang Jianguo continued.

Seeing Wang Jianguo's helpless look, Li Pingan said, "Let me tell you."

"What we are going to buy this time is called 'vacuum bearing'."

When Li Ping'an finished saying the four words "vacuum bearing", Zhang Weiguo roughly knew what it was.

In the information he obtained from "Miss Qiu" (Nuclear Peace), there was a process for preparing uranium enrichment, in which one of the important equipment needed was the centrifuge array.

The manufacture of centrifuge arrays is inseparable from "vacuum bearings".

However, centrifuge arrays are now banned from sale to my country in Western countries. So is my country planning to buy key components and copy them ourselves?

Zhang Weiguo asked Li Pingan again with doubt: "Comrade Pingan, I wonder how many of these "vacuum bearings" we should buy this time."

“It will take about 100.”

This is going to be difficult. Zhang Weiguo now dares to assert that if he does not use his connections in America this time, let alone buying the "vacuum bearings", it is unclear whether they can get them back intact.

In fact, what Zhang Weiguo is more puzzled about now is that the country would not allow only one team to purchase such an important part.

So he asked, "There shouldn't be just one team on this mission."

"This……"

When Zhang Weiguo saw that Wang Jianguo was a little hesitant, he understood that it seemed that several other teams were also coming to purchase this equipment, but they might not be going to America.

"It's okay. If Captain Wang can't tell me, then forget it."

"Actually, it's not that I can't tell you." Wang Jianguo hesitated for a while and then said, "In fact, when I met with Leader Wang, he accidentally told me that there were other teams, but I don't know the exact number."

In fact, Wang Jianguo was very glad that they had Zhang Weiguo, a foreign expert, to lead them, otherwise they would most likely fail to complete the mission.

After discussing for a while about the next plan and possible difficulties they would encounter when they arrived at America's place, everyone returned to their respective rooms.

After a few days of peaceful life at sea, everyone finally arrived in America.

Captain William then said to everyone: "Zhang, I can only take you so far."

"Thank you, Captain William."

After Zhang Weiguo finished speaking, he hugged Captain William.

"Zhang, I will miss you." Thomas said as he watched Zhang Weiguo and the others leave.

When everyone took a taxi to New York City, except Zhang Weiguo, everyone felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden when looking at the tall buildings here.

Wang Jianguo was a little confused at this time, so he turned to Zhang Weiguo and asked, "Comrade Weiguo, where should we go next?"

"It's getting late now, let's find a place to stay first."

Soon everyone arrived at a 10-meter-high hotel entrance.

The driver said, "Sir, 10 dollars."

Zhang Weiguo looked at Lu Cheng, and the meaning was very clear: take out the money.

Lu Cheng felt a little distressed, as he spent one and a half months' salary in just one hour.

After paying the driver, Lu Cheng looked at the luxuriously decorated hotel in front of him and asked cautiously, "Comrade Weiguo, how much does it cost to stay in this hotel for one night?"

"About $200."

However, Zhang Weiguo felt a little regretful after he finished speaking. After all, he was used to living here when he was studying abroad, and now he brought everyone here out of habit.

In fact, this hotel itself is one of Zhang Weiguo’s assets, and there is now a suite in the hotel reserved specifically for him.
