Bai Yuxue returned to the office, and Xia Yang was busy reviewing documents and signing them.

Duran Malone led the team to successfully complete the mission of Angora. He originally wanted to go to the United States to meet Han Chushuang.

But things suddenly started to happen.

"Push all recent appointments to the front of the queue. I want to go to the United States as soon as possible."

Seeing Bai Yuxue coming over, Xia Yang handed her the signed documents and explained.

She didn't ask her classmates whether they had arranged for part-time jobs in Li Ao. She was just a classmate of Bai Yuxue. If it weren't for Bai Yuxue, Xia Yang wouldn't have bothered with such a trivial matter as recruiting a few part-time jobs.

The white jade snow powder moistened her little mouth. Xia Yang was immediately happy and sat her on his lap. "Are you jealous? Why don't I take you with me?"

Bai Yuxue felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Xia Yang running to the United States in such a hurry to meet Han Chushuang, but after hearing these words, her face turned pale with fright.

Bai Yuxue is a good girl after all. Who dares to meet Han Chushuang, Boss Xia's upright girlfriend, feels guilty!

"No, no, I have to go to school."

Bai Yuxue hurriedly waved her hands away, even if she was beaten to death.

Xia Yang smiled even more happily and kissed Bai Yuxue on the face, "I won't blame you for being jealous. If I blame you, I'll blame myself for being too greedy. Of course, you are also responsible. You look so beautiful and sweet, like the elf that Bai Xue incarnates.

, I really can't help it, otherwise I wouldn't have attacked you regardless of your sister's stop."

Xia Yang's love talk has now reached the point of proficiency.

These words, which were not love words, not only took all the responsibility for Bai Yuli's third party interference on her own shoulders, but also drove away the last bit of discomfort in Bai Yuxue's heart, making her heart feel as sweet as honey!

"Bad guy, you just bullied me this morning, and now you're so nice to me, what bad ideas do you have in mind?"

Bai Yuxue asked delicately, but her whole body was squeezed into Xia Yang's arms like a bird.

"What kind of bad idea can I have? Of course it's the bad idea to make you work more. Please handle all the recent appointments as soon as possible so that I can make time to go to the United States. After all, Sister Chushuang has been here for a long time.

It’s been a while, and I haven’t even gone over to see her.”

Xia Yang coaxed.

The effect is good.

Not only was Bai Yuxue not jealous this time, but she was somewhat understanding and nodded obediently, "I will take care of it, but there are a few appointments that are difficult to push forward, such as the appointment at Lawson Council. I will make arrangements now and ask Councilor Lawson to come and meet in advance.

you."

After saying that, Bai Yuxue obediently slid off Xia Yang's lap, held the documents and went out to make arrangements.

Bai Yuxue is very efficient, three o'clock in the afternoon.

Lawson came over and brought someone with him, Blanche's uncle Lieutenant General Lane, who came with the two brothers.

Are they brothers after all, or Blanche's family genes are too good.

Lane is as handsome as Lawson, with blond hair, charming blue eyes, tall and straight figure, and a straight military uniform. Although he is over fifty and is considered an old handsome guy, he is more attractive than Lawson.

As soon as Lawson arrived, he sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and asked Bai Yuxue to brew the best Huaixia coffee. His attitude was very arrogant.

However, Xia Yang had a smile on his face, because Lawson had previously said that he would help him get the order for the troll engine, and he probably got the order, so he had such an arrogant attitude.

really.

As soon as Xia Yang sat down on the sofa, Lawson arrogantly threw the two documents in front of him with a snap.

"One is an order for one hundred Trollen engines. The Air Force's existing transport aircraft engines are somewhat backward, so we are ready to replace your Troll engine. The specific technical requirements are all in the document. The other is a commissioned order from the War Department.

, the Ministry of War is not considering purchasing turbine engine technology from you, but is asking your company to develop a turbine engine for a main battle tank. Renn will tell you the specific requirements."

Lawson asked Ren to talk to Xia Yang.

But Ren looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.

Xia Yang was not in a hurry, and felt cheerful. As soon as he invested in the United States, Lawson brought over the engine order.

You must know that aircraft turbofan engines are not cheap, usually accounting for 30% of the total cost of an aircraft.

Naturally, the Troll engine is also expensive. No matter how much respect is given to Lawson and it is modified according to the Air Force Department, no matter how cheap the price is, it will not be less than four million US dollars per unit.

Then the Air Force Department's order for 100 turbofan engines is US$400 million.

I also think back to what Elaine said a few days ago that she had cleaned up the Security Bureau and made sure that Paul’s incident would never happen again.

Obviously, this is the capital of Spur trying to reassure him.

Thinking of this, Xia Yang knew in his heart that it would be better if he could do this earlier. Of course, even if the capital of Spur reassured him earlier, he would not change his investment in unmanned aircraft and intelligence fields in the United States.

After all, compared to the United States, which attracts talents from all over the world, Spurs is still a little behind.

After Xia Yang finished thinking about it, Ren's expression on the opposite side became relaxed, as if he had thought it over, and then he looked at Xia Yang, with a smile on his face and his blue eyes narrowed, making him look even more charming.

Seeing Xia Yang makes Xia Yang a little jealous, but there is nothing he can do about it, he is born handsome, from childhood to old age.

“Mr.

Ren's words made Xia Yang almost spit out the coffee in his mouth.

The order for the research and development of tank engines was gone, but a larger order for the research and development and production of main battle tanks came.

The problem is that Li Ao does not produce tanks. Of course, if the Army Department provides enough US dollars, everything will not be a problem.

"Lieutenant General Lane, I also need to discuss your proposal with the shareholders. After all, you know that our Li Ao does not produce tanks. The acquired Laisuo tank factory now only produces trucks, so whether it is to transform the tank production line or to re-establish the tank production line

, In addition, there are tank research and development costs, etc., all of which require large sums of money. In addition, you know that most of our company's funds have recently been invested in projects such as fighter planes and warships, so funds are extremely tight, and we may not be able to accept your tank.

R&D and manufacturing projects.”

There are a lot of things in Xia Yang. To put it simply, pay the money first.

Renn suddenly laughed and shook his head.

Lawson continued to taste the coffee. He was surprised that he had never seen someone who could take advantage of Boss Xia, and he probably would never see him in his lifetime.

Renn laughed and then said sternly, "Mr. Xia, in terms of funds, you can rest assured that the Ministry of War still has funds to purchase tanks, so I hope that Mr.

There is a high degree of confidence that it will be passed.”

"I won't tell you the reason. Mr. Xia, you should have guessed that the original Cheetah main battle tank project of the Ministry of War was to develop a main battle tank comparable to the M1A1. However, our Ministry of the Army has invested continuously for five years, and there are still many key points.

The technology has not been broken, and the core engine will eventually need to be entrusted to Mr. Xia's company for research and development. Therefore, many people in the Army Ministry are dissatisfied, including me. Before I came to see Mr. Xia, I was considering entrusting the entire Cheetah tank project to Mr. Xia.

The overall company develops and produces.”

Ren said it very sincerely.

Xia Yang's expression was full of uncertainty, and then he asked carefully, "Lieutenant General Lane, when you talk about a main battle tank that is comparable to the M1A1, do you mean the American M1A1 Abram tank?"

Renn didn't know why Xia Yang asked like this, but he answered without hesitation, "Of course, since the Ministry of War has decided to develop a new generation of main battle tanks, of course it will develop the best one."

After listening to Ren's words, Xia Yang really didn't know whether to say Ren was big-hearted or impatient.

The American M1A1 will soon become famous. In the Desert Storm operation against Yinla two years later, it destroyed 2000 Yinla tanks without any damage to itself.

Of course, the main reason for such an astonishing disparity in combat ratio is that the Yinla tanks are all old Ross tanks.

Ross shrewdly dumped a large number of old tanks to Yin La.

But 2000-0 is still scary.

At the same time, the advancement of the m1a1 tank can be seen.

The United States started researching the M1 tank in 1971, and it was not put into service until 1981.

In other words, it took almost ten years to develop the m1, and then another four or five years of research and development based on the m1 before the improved m1a1 was developed.

After five years of research and development by Wren and the Army, they ran out of patience.

After thinking about it, Xia Yang said directly to Renne, "I can convince the shareholders to agree to undertake the research and development of the Cheetah tank project, but I have two conditions."

"Mr. Xia, please tell me."

After investing a large amount of money and waiting for five years, the Cheetah tank is still difficult to produce. Renn has long lost his patience and now almost all the Cheetah tank project is entrusted to Xia Yang's company, so let alone Xia Yang only has two conditions, as long as it is not excessive, ten

He agreed to all conditions.

Xia Yang raised two fingers, "First, transfer all the existing research and development results of the Cheetah tank to our company. We will discuss the specific technologies and transfer prices separately. Second, the order from the Ministry of War is no less than 200 units. First, we will

If you pay a 20% deposit, the price will be based on the m1a1 cost, which is US$8.5 million per unit."

The American M1A1 tank is famous for its majesty, but its price is also notoriously scary.

Eight and a half million U.S. dollars per unit, which is the cost of domestic sales. If there is no external sales of 10 million U.S. dollars, don’t even think about it.

However, the American M1A1 tank is not the most expensive. The most expensive is the French Leclerc main battle tank, which sells for as high as 10 million US dollars.

Of course, this is just the price in the 1990s. Twenty years later, due to inflation and technological upgrades, the cheapest of these top tanks will cost US$20 million each.

"Can."

Ren agreed to Xia Yang's request without saying a word. After all, Xia Yang's request was not excessive. The only payment of 20% deposit up front was a little bit borrowed. However, in order to order warships, the Navy Ministry had paid a lot of money before.

A deposit of one billion. Looking at it this way, it doesn't matter if the Army Department pays a deposit in advance.

Based on the calculation of US$8.5 million for one Jaguar tank, two hundred units would be US$1.7 billion, and a 20% deposit would be US$340 million, which is not too much.

"I will persuade the Ministry of War to agree to the commissioning plan of the Cheetah tank as soon as possible and start cooperation with Li Ao as soon as possible, but how much time do you need?"
