Chapter 1318 The World's Number One Weapons Salesman

"Aleksei!" In a hotel in the capital, Ilyasov met his old friend and former competitor, Alexei Leonkov.

"Askar!" Leonkov stepped forward and gave Ilyasov a big hug.

At this moment, Ilyasov felt a little ridiculous.

Another friend whom I hadn't seen for more than ten years, unexpectedly met again in China.

Compared with the grey-haired Ilyasov, Alexei dyed his hair black and looked very energetic in a neat suit.The two are only four or five years apart in age, but at first glance, they seem to be a generation behind.

Engaging in his industry and making himself look more spiritual seems to be a professional requirement.

However, Ilyasov still saw deep fatigue in the eyes of his old friend.

"Thank you for coming, Aska." Leonkov took Ilyasov's hand and said, "I didn't intend to disturb you, but several experts on the other side are your students, maybe you There is a way to convince them..."

"I'll try my best." Ilyasov smiled wryly, "I can't say how much influence I have on them."

"How could it be? I've heard all about it. After you arrived in China, you received a very grand reception!" Leonkov said.

Ilyasov was stunned for a moment, and then he realized why a guy who had been away from the front line for more than ten years was so valued.

It turned out to be here.

For a while, Ilyasov didn't know how to explain to Leonkov.

More than 20 years ago, the two gradually went on different paths. Ilyasov slowly gave up his job in the design bureau and returned to the campus, pinning his hopes on the next generation.

And Leonkov has been working on the front line of fighter design.

It's just that, for them, the design and manufacture of front-line fighter jets is becoming more and more difficult and stretched.

With the repeated reductions in military expenditures, various equipments are becoming obsolete, supporting facilities and workers are gradually being lost...

What was placed in front of Leonkov gradually became a clever woman who can't cook without rice.

Only by selling armaments to the outside world can we subsidize some households.

Arms is a huge market, but the United States occupies most of the market, and the real bulk is earned by the United States.

Looking around, there are hardcore brothers from the United States all around, and there are not many countries in Russia that can sell equipment.

China happens to be one of their exporting countries, partly because the two countries need this bond to maintain the relationship, and partly because China still needs to learn their superior technology from them.

But the problem is that in the past two years, China has replaced Russia and become the world's second largest arms exporter, second only to the United States, and has already mass-produced fighter jets that surpass the Su-35.

Why buy it when you already have it?
This is where the problem lies.

And more importantly, how to sell arms to a country that hardly needs to buy arms?

Of course it can only be sold in tying.

At present, the only technology that still has a significant gap between China and Russia lies in engine technology.

China still has a certain gap in the two technologies of three-dimensional thrust vectoring engines for light fighters and large military turbofan engines for heavy fighters.

China hopes that Russia will transfer these two technologies, and in return, it can purchase some aircraft, but the problem is that these two technologies are the foundation of Russia, and they will never sell them anyway.

Negotiations have stalled here.

Russia wants to be able to transfer some other technology, and this negotiation comes from that.

The Chinese side sent some experts to evaluate the technologies provided by Russia to see if there is anything worth spending money on.

Leonkov hopes Ilyasov can help convince Chinese experts that the technologies are still valuable.

"The information you will come into contact with next is all confidential information and cannot be disclosed to anyone." Leonkov took out a thick stack of information and placed it in front of Ilyasov. In this room, you cannot take it out of the room..."

Ilyasov took out the information and looked at it. Unspeakable sadness kept pouring out as he watched.

These technologies are almost the most pressing things in Russia except for several key engine technologies.

If these things are really sold, Russia will have nothing to lose.

But if you sell it, you can exchange it for some money. If you don’t sell it, in three to five years, these things will be waste paper for China.

But the question is, will China spend so much money to buy it in order to save three to five years?

In the room, there was silence, except for the sound of flipping through the papers, the only sound left was the panting of human beings.

It took a whole day for Ilyasov to learn the details of these techniques.

In fact, he has already been exposed to most of these technologies.

After reading it once, he had already found a few key points, and he had a plan in mind.

The next day, negotiations officially began.

Ilyasov and an expert group composed of several other Russian experts participated in the negotiations with the Chinese expert group and the person in charge of military procurement.

When Ilyasov walked into the conference room and saw Gu Xiaobai sitting in the corner, his eyes almost popped out.

Why is this guy here!

In the conference room, four or five experts were surrounding Gu Xiaobai to ask for his health.

"Xiaobai, how did you sleep last night? Have you read all the materials?"

"Well, it's okay, I can't play with my mobile phone, and I didn't bring my textbook, so I went to bed at eight o'clock in the evening." Gu Xiaobai was a little bored.

If I had known that my phone would be taken away and I couldn't communicate with the outside world, I wouldn't have come so early.

"Did you go to bed at eight o'clock? Could it be that you didn't read the materials?" A man with hair that didn't have too many comb teeth next to him said.

"Hey, hey, my Xiaobai reads the materials, unlike you old men, who need to read them at night by candlelight. I guess Xiaobai will finish reading those materials in half an hour..." He Shisong was so proud that he seemed to be praising himself.

"Really? Young people are so nice. I remember when I was young..." The man with the comb teeth brushed his hair.

"Bah, just brag about it, I don't believe you can remember this thing just by looking at it! Don't put gold on your face..."

The atmosphere is very relaxed.

"Why is he here too!" Ilyasov asked Leonkov.

Leonkov said: "By the way, you also know Gu Xiaobai... This is great, can you ask Gu Xiaobai if he can help us shoot a MV..."

"You asked Gu Xiaobai to shoot the MV for you?" Ilyasov almost couldn't help complaining.

Leonkov was also extremely helpless.

Not only the Su-35, but even the Su-57 is like his child.

But not long ago, Su-57 was also teased by Gu Xiaobai into a mess.

So far, Gu Xiaobai has teased half of the only fifth-generation aircraft in the world.

Although this news did not spread on a large scale, it has long been known among military fans.

How could he have a good look at someone who slapped him in the face?

But no way.

Now Gu Xiaobai is the number one weapons salesman in the world.

It's just so awesome, you can't accept it.
