Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

In the conference room, Prince Salman stared at the rendering of the long-range fire, his eyes full of expectation.

Seeing Salman's expectant eyes, Xu Huasheng laughed.

Suddenly remembered a sentence from a netizen in the future, don't mess with rabbits, rich rabbits dare to make anything, poor rabbits dare to sell anything. If the rabbit is really poor, they dare to sell mushroom eggs.

But now mushroom eggs are definitely not allowed to be sold, but the fuel-air explosive bomb seems to be a conventional weapon! If the rocket is replaced with a fuel-air explosive bomb thermobaric warhead, it will be exciting. I don't know if Israel dares to use an airplane to bomb Saudi Arabia's launch vehicle if Saudi Arabia really has this thing in the future.

"Xu, how much research and development funds are still missing for this weapon and equipment?"

Prince Salman asked quickly, which made Xu Huasheng stunned.

"Well, Mr. Lin, how much funds are still missing?"

Xu Huasheng couldn't help asking.

"Well, ten, no, two or three billion should be enough."

Lin Zuotang wanted to say 1 billion RMB, but thinking about the rich man, he said a little more.

"Prince Salman, three billion US dollars, three billion US dollars is enough. In fact, the technology is not too difficult. You know, we can even develop missiles of thousands of kilometers. This 500-kilometer long-range missile is not difficult. With the money, it will probably be developed in one or two years. At that time, we can sell you a large number at cost price..."

Xu Huasheng said with a smile, and Prince Salman pondered after hearing this. Lin Zuotang next to him widened his eyes.

He thought he was already dark enough, but he didn't expect Xu Huasheng to be even darker. Two or three billion RMB directly became three billion US dollars. This is not doubled, but four or five times.

But if there is really 3 billion US dollars, let alone long-range rockets, the research funds for several new ballistic missiles that the Ministry of Aerospace is preparing to develop may be enough. Thinking of this, Lin Zuotang became excited. No wonder the United States is keen on selling arms. This feels really great.

"Xu, I sincerely invite you to come to our Saudi Arabia again. I believe my father will definitely welcome you very much..."

Salman looked at Xu Huasheng and said seriously again. There are too many good things in China, really too many, I want them all.

"Thank you for the prince's sincere invitation. We are honored. Let's do this. It's time for dinner. Let's eat first and then rest early. Tomorrow I will take you to see something different. Even if we go to Saudi Arabia, we need to prepare..."

Xu Huasheng said with a smile. Hearing this, Prince Salman laughed, and his eyes were full of expectations. There are still good things. There are too many good things in China. Why didn't Saudi Arabia discover them before?

Xu Huasheng accompanied Salman and his party to eat a delicious meal. During the meal, Xu Huasheng and Salman also chatted happily.

Lin Zuotang, the big man, became an accompanying person. This scene made Lin Zuotang sigh in his heart. Hey, this little guy can't help but be convinced. He became friends with Prince Salman in a short time. This social ability is too strong.

"Huh..."

Xu Huasheng was relieved after sending Salman back to the room. After this conversation, he was really tired.

"Xiao Xu, come with me, the leaders want to see you..."

Just after sending Salman back to the room, Lin Zuotang came to Xu Huasheng and whispered. Hearing this, Xu Huasheng was stunned and then nodded.

In an elegant courtyard, Xu Huasheng and Lin Zuotang came.

The courtyard was brightly lit, and there were several old people in the house smoking and chatting.

When Xu Huasheng walked into the room, he saw the Saudi rendering he had drawn at a glance, even the circle of the long-range fire he had drawn was there.

"Hello, leaders..."

Xu Huasheng was not nervous. After coming here many times, he got used to this atmosphere.

"You little comrade, every time you do something, you want to poke a hole in the sky."

An old man looked at Xu Huasheng and said with a smile.

"Leader, can I understand that this is a compliment to me?"

Xu Huasheng said with a smile, and everyone in the room laughed.

"Since you are here, tell us, can this be done?"

The old man looked at the rendering, and Xu Huasheng smiled slightly.

"Leader, it can't be done..."

Xu Huasheng did not hide it and said it directly. Everyone was stunned when they heard this. What does it mean to be unable to succeed? If it can't be done, you are still fooling Prince Salman.

"Commander, when I say it can't be done, I don't mean it can't be done at all. It means that the final effect will not reach this result. Dear commanders, first of all, there is no problem with photovoltaic power plants, seawater desalination plants, agricultural areas, high-rise buildings, light industrial areas, and many infrastructure.There is no problem with the construction of infrastructure. But heavy industrial zones, large chemical zones, and large smelting zones are simply impossible. It is not a technical problem, nor is there no money. It is that Western countries, especially the United States, will never allow Saudi Arabia to have such industries. It would be easier if the Soviet Union did not disintegrate, but after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States will be the only superpower. At that time, Saudi Arabia will not be able to withstand the pressure of Western countries at all..."

Xu Huasheng said with a smile, and this made the old people nod their heads.

Yes, Western countries treat Saudi Arabia as a fat sheep. Now Saudi Arabia wants to play heavy industry, develop national defense industry, and build a large chemical zone. You are a sheep and you want to arm yourself. You are looking for death. If you really don't interfere, Saudi Arabia has money and China has technology. When the Middle East is really fully armed, how can Americans play with petrodollars?

"Dear leaders, although the most important things cannot be built, it does not hinder the initial investment. And even if it fails at that time, Saudi Arabia can blame us. Did we not let them build? We have always been good people, providing people, efforts, technology, and strong support. Anyway, we are not bad guys. We Chinese are peace-loving. Win-win cooperation is our purpose..."

Everyone laughed when Xu Huasheng said this.

Yes, it is not China's fault that this project cannot be completed. Saudi Arabia will naturally know who to hate at that time.

"Comrade Xu, your proposal of exchanging oil for products and technology is good, but our country cannot consume so much oil at present. Our oil is still exported..."

In the room, an old man couldn't help asking.

In this era, China has very few cars. China is really an oil exporter and uses oil to earn foreign exchange.

So now Xu Huasheng actually proposed to exchange oil for products and technology, and some people felt it was inappropriate. They still think it is better to use US dollars. If there is no US dollar, Japanese yen or marks will also work.

Hearing this, Xu Huasheng laughed.

"Chief, although Saudi Arabia has money, the investment is too big. They may not have enough money. How about this? How about you give Huasheng Group a qualification, give us the oil you get in exchange, and we pay you in US dollars? "

Xu Huasheng asked tentatively, but with expectation in his eyes. Oil, it would be great if we could get a qualification like the telecommunications industry.
