Lawson was very efficient. He brought the news less than a week after returning, but it was not that he agreed to Xia Yang's conditions, but that old Speaker Miles wanted to see him.

That afternoon, the Eight-Eyed Trident luxury car drove into a quiet small farm in the suburbs.

Xia Yang got off the car and happened to see old Speaker Miles coming out of the cowshed, probably feeding the cows. He was wearing a Sper farmer's two-piece suit, suspender jeans, and a cowboy hat.

If Miles was dressed like this and walked down Spur Street, no one would guess that he was Speaker Spur.

However, Xia Yang was not surprised. He had heard many rumors about old Speaker Miles.

Miles inherited his family's cattle farm when he was young. After graduating from college, he didn't want to work or raise cattle, so he went into politics.

However, he never sold his house in Sper and lived on his family's cattle ranch.

"Hi, Miles, your cattle farm is not very clean."

Xia Yang greeted Miles with a smile and made a smooth complaint.

But no, there is cow dung on the ground. You have to watch it when you walk, otherwise you will step in it.

"Beef is cheap these days, and I don't have the money to hire too many people to clean it. You, a rich man, just make do with it. But you can still do it, unlike Lawson who has to wear a mask and double layer every time he comes over."

Miles had a smile on his face, as if he was praising Xia Yang.

But Xia Yang sighed, "Myers, you misunderstood. I was tricked by Lawson. This bastard didn't tell me about the bad environment here at all. Otherwise, I would have come over wearing a gas mask. Well, it's anti-nuclear pollution level."

of."

The smile on Miles' face suddenly solidified.

But then Xia Yang gave him a visiting gift, a bottle of rare red wine.

Miles smiled again.

"This is good wine. You can buy my cattle farm."

Xia Yang was helpless, "It's almost the same. I can't find the cheapest one at home, so you'll have to settle for it."

Miles' smile froze again, and then he shook his head with a smile, "No wonder Lawson is so angry that he wants to curse every time he mentions you."

"He is not angry with me, but jealous of me and jealous that I am more handsome than him."

Xia Yang didn't blush at all.

"I agree with this. You are more handsome than Lawson. Lawson looks too dazzling, like a blond prince. I don't like it!" Miles agreed.

Xia Yang had a dark look on his face, was he praising him?

The two of them talked and laughed, walked into the living room and sat down.

Miles' home is no different from any other Spur farmer's home. The wooden tables and chairs seem to have been made by himself. They are a bit rough, but simple and sturdy.

If I have to say a difference, it is that Miles has a lot of books at home.

There are several large bookshelves in the living room, filled with books, and there are also many bookshelves in the next few rooms, and each bookshelf is filled with books.

It seems that Myers spent all his money on books, because Sper's books are very expensive.

It seemed that he was the only one in Miles's family. He poured coffee for Xia Yang himself, and then told him the purpose of meeting Xia Yang.

"Lawson put your request in parliament. At present, everyone is divided into two sides. Some people think you are right. In modern society, people need weapons to protect themselves, and the country needs weapons to protect itself. The research and development funds for advanced weapons are limited to

It’s difficult to make, so your weapons company is needed.”

"But some people also think that you are purely motivated by your own selfish interests. If you agree to your conditions and allow you to sell weapons freely, your company will develop into a giant, which will bring greater harm."

"Currently, no one on either side of the parliament can convince anyone, so I asked Lawson to call you over and want to hear your opinion."

Having said this, Miles put away his smile and became solemn, showing the majestic side of the speaker.

Xia Yang knew that it would depend on today whether he should move the Laisuo factory next. He thought for a moment and said, "The first question is first, for personal gain. I don't deny this. Li Ao Company and Laisuo Company

The tens of thousands of employees in several factories are not my relatives. Why should I invest hundreds of millions and billions of dollars to open companies and factories to fund them? The reason is naturally to make money, not to mention private ownership. Isn't this the cornerstone of the capital of Spur?

.”

Miles nodded, "I agree with this and fully agree that wealth obtained through one's own efforts must be respected. Those who are lazy have no right to share it. As for those who are weak and have lost their labor force, it is our responsibility. After all, you

You paid a large amount of tax and you continue talking."

After listening to Miles's words, Xia Yang knew that Miles was still leaning towards him and continued, "As for your second question, my company will develop into a giant and bring harm. Before answering,

Before this question, I would like to ask the Speaker, how many weapons manufacturing companies do you know in the world?"

Miles thought for a moment and replied, "There are many, including the United States, the Russian Federation, France, etc. The arms manufacturers in these countries are strong, and almost all arms transactions in the world are divided up by them."

After saying that, Miles somewhat understood what Xia Yang meant.

"Since Speaker, you know these giant arms companies, you can imagine how fierce the competition I face is. If I want the company to survive, I must invest more money to ensure that the products are more advanced, otherwise I will not be able to sell them at all."

"Just like destroyers, the United States and Britain are already preparing to develop a new generation of warships that use integrated electric drive."

Xia Yang is talking about the American DDG destroyer and the British Type 45 destroyer.

"My company has followed up on this kind of advanced warship and invested 10 billion US dollars in research and development. If the research and development is successful, you will all benefit and be able to buy more advanced warships. But once the research and development fails, what do you think about my company?

I can withstand such huge losses several times, so there is no need for you to worry. Besides, even if I succeed by luck, I deserve it, right?"

"As for what harm will happen if I make the company bigger, Speaker Miles, do you think I can do any harm to control the Parliament and control Sper?"

Xia Yang asked two questions in a row, but Miles smiled again, "You won't, because you don't have the need. After all, with the wealth you have now, it is easy to get power, but you have never talked to Lawson

No matter what you ask for, Lawson is often angry to death. This is what I appreciate most about you. You respect the rules and maintain them. In modern society, there is division of labor and cooperation. If you are a businessman, you should do your job as a businessman. The same is true for me.

If you stretch your hand too far, you will be disliked there."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xia Yang nodded, "This is also my point of view, greed is the greatest disaster."

"I also agree with this view."

Miles smiled and nodded, then couldn't believe it, "Modern weapons research and development costs so much, a destroyer requires an investment of 10 billion US dollars just for research and development."

Xia Yang smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, 10 billion US dollars is only an initial investment. No one can say how much money will be burned in the end. Of course, there is no way around it, because everyone wants to spend the least amount of money to buy

To find the most perfect product, this is the situation where a warship can perform multiple missions, such as air defense, ground attack, anti-submarine warfare, be quiet enough, have fewer crew members, and be easier to maintain, etc."

The U.S. DDG destroyer has a displacement of up to 14,000 tons, but only requires 140 people to drive it. You can imagine its degree of automation and high technology.

Miles thought about it and felt that this was true. Just like if cars could fly, people would like them more and wouldn't have to worry about traffic jams.

It’s just that the investment risk is greater.

"Well, you have obviously convinced me. Go back and wait for my good news."

After the matter was communicated, Miles directly drove Xia Yang away, saving a dinner.

However, Xia Yang was very happy. With the words of old Speaker Miles, this matter would be stable, and the export of arms would be much freer in the future.

After all, when Dimon and others sell weapons to foreign countries, they are more or less subject to the instructions of the U.S. capital.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that Spur is the capital. In addition, Xia Yang knows that it is also related to his good reputation and always abiding by the rules.

Old Speaker Miles kept his word, and within three days, the matter came to an end. However, no one came to inform. Instead, New Zealand, Sweden and other countries went directly to Li'ao to discuss the purchase of weapons.

Obviously, the capital of Sper has given up making a fuss about the advanced weapons and equipment produced by Li Ao, allowing these countries to freely purchase and trade with Xia Yang.

It's the same as Xia Yang guessed before.

Because the liberalization of the Spur capital will not impose any additional conditions.

The order volume is much larger than the previous twelve Iron Dome battleships.

No one wants to have someone make mistakes and attach various conditions when buying something. After all, the weapons they buy are not cheap, and no one will be happy if they spend a lot of money to buy something and still have to be punished.

Therefore, after the capital of Sper stopped dictating, these customers became much more comfortable and became much more generous.

In addition to the previous twelve Iron Dome battleships.

Five countries including Norway, Ruifeng, and Holland also purchased eight Sea Devil submarines.

In addition, a lot of second-generation Trailblazer armored vehicles, Lurker tanks, Dragonfly helicopter gunships, and Predator fighter jets were sold.

However, the purchase quantity of each company is not large. Twenty second-generation Trailblazer armored vehicles, ten Lurker tanks, five Dragonfly armed helicopters, etc. are purchased in small quantities.

If Ruifu, which has strong industrial strength, is sold back, it will definitely be researched into imitation.

Although each company does not purchase much, there are many countries that cannot afford to purchase, including Spain, Norway, Holland and more than a dozen countries. In the end, the total orders reached 30 billion US dollars.

In addition to the previous orders, Xia Yang will not worry about no orders and no work in the factory for the next three years.

But this is not what makes him happiest. The happiest thing is that these customers have never considered other arms companies when purchasing weapons and equipment.

In countries like Denmark and Holland, all the weapons and equipment on land are purchased from Germany, such as Leopard 2 tanks, etc. In addition, the fighter planes flying in the sky and the warships swimming in the sea, if it were not for the American F16 fighter plane, Aegis battleship, if not for France's Rafale fighter jets and battleships.

Obviously, these countries were very satisfied with the results of the Iron Dome battleship on the high seas and in Kuwait, so they came here specifically to purchase it, and by the way, they also purchased other weapons to test the waters.

So by connecting with these countries this time, I won’t have to worry about having no business coming to my door in the future.

The reason why Xia Yang is so confident is naturally that he has confidence in his own products. In addition, countries such as the Netherlands and Norway are not big enough to invest tens of billions of dollars in research and development of weapons, and there is no guarantee that the research and development will be successful.

Therefore, purchasing weapons and equipment from other countries is their best choice. When the time comes, they will shop around and get a good taste of the quality of the weapons.

Xia Yang took another 30 billion US dollars in orders in one go.

This made the Sper capital secretly glad that the decision not to dictate was the right one. They received 20 billion US dollars more orders than before, and they received a large amount of tax revenue. At the same time, it also stimulated countless downstream industry chains.

This is also true.

After receiving these orders, all the hulls of the Iron Dome battleships were handed over to other shipyards for production, and the Laisou Battleship Factory concentrated on the production of Sea Devil submarines.

No way, the hull is the most technically demanding part of submarine manufacturing.

In addition, companies such as Sper's steel factory, titanium factory, etc. are expanding their production capacity and working day and night to supply the materials needed by Laisuo factory.

In addition to Spur, many local factories have received large orders.

If the money is not flowing out to outsiders, it is natural that there will be no shortage of orders from one's own companies. For example, Liu Taobao's Hualian Electronics received a large number of orders for high-performance chips and electronic equipment, and Bai Yuqiong and Luo Ling's Meike received a large number of orders for communications and network equipment.
