don't call me singer

Chapter 1587 Send a pillow to your door

On the outskirts of Moscow, a black car with a government license plate was driving on the road.In the green belts on both sides of the road, the snow has not melted.

In the distance, the sky is a little gloomy, and it seems that another snow may fall at any time.

Ilyasov sat in the car and looked out the window.

Except for the different seasons, the scenery outside the window seems to be no different from when he left.

When he left, he thought he was just taking his students to participate in a competition, but he didn't expect to stay in China.

And when he stayed in China, he thought he would die here, but he didn't expect that he would come back after only two months.

For him, these two months were full of magic, but they also had regrets.

He never dreamed that it took Gu Xiaobai just two months to make the Sky Concert Hall rise from the sky.

But it is still far away from what Gu Xiaobai dreamed of, making the Sea Dragon Palace fly.

If you give him a few more years...

Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

but……

There was nothing he could do to help.

When Gu Xiaobai needed him back then, he wanted his experience and ability in technology integration.

But in such a short few months of contact with Gu Xiaobai, Gu Xiaobai absorbed knowledge from him like a sponge.

When he first arrived at the Sea Dragon Palace, Gu Xiaobai often had an attitude of "asking for advice" towards him, but now he doesn't even dare to call himself Gu Xiaobai's teacher.

The vehicle slowly slowed down, and Ilyasov reacted.

Got home.

A beautiful two-story building, located in the old community.

This is Ilyasov's home.

The vehicle from the government department stopped in front of the door, and Ilyasov got out of the vehicle, turned around and shook hands with the visitor.

"Sir, allow me once again to pay you my respects." The government official shook his hand very seriously before leaving.

"Thank you." Ilyasov thanked.

"In your house, there may be several guests waiting for you..." the government official said, then turned and left.

Ilyasov froze for a moment, but was not surprised.

Sure enough, hearing the sound of a car outside, his door opened, and several familiar faces came out of the room.

Some are his students, some are his colleagues, and some are officials who have only met a few times.

Ilyasov smiled wryly, sure enough, what should come has come.

Ilyasov walked up the steps, without taking the handshake of the middle-aged official who reached out, he said: "I remember before, you said that the technology I mastered is no longer needed."

"Professor Ilyasov..." The official was suddenly embarrassed.

"Teacher, please come in!"

"Teacher, please sit down."

"Teacher, drink water..."

Next to him, several of his students hurriedly and courteously let him in and brought him tea and water.

Those who didn't know thought they had come to someone else's house.

Ilyasov looked at his few remaining students, and felt embarrassed to disrespect them too much.

He was full of peaches and plums all his life, but now these peaches are all in the peach orchard of another family.

In the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, in Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier...

Just not in Russia.

Those who can stay are either really not good enough, or they really sacrificed a lot. This time, they are basically the latter.

He sighed, sat down, and said, "I know what you want to do, but I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do it."

"Professor, don't rush to refuse, first listen to my conditions..." The official still wanted to speak, but Ilyasov waved his hand, "Listen to me first."

"Although the Sky Concert Hall is great, I can't build it."

"First, Gu Xiaobai hired me only because of my experience in managing large-scale projects. My job is to assist the management engineers and coordinate some transactional work. I don't have much technical involvement."

Having said that, Ilyasof paused: "Second..."

The second important point comes.

"Second, we can't afford to build an aircraft like the Sky Concert Hall."

Let’s not talk about technology or technology, the second point is the cruelest reality.

"Can't afford it?" The official licked his lips subconsciously and asked, "How much does the Sky Concert Hall cost?"

After all, we are one country.

If you really want to make it, you can still make it...

Yes.

Thinking of the difficulties in applying for funding, the official suddenly felt guilty.

"Considering the materials and manufacturing difficulty, several billion dollars." Ilyasov said very indifferently.

This sentence shocked everyone present.

Then the official smiled dryly: "Stop joking..."

"So expensive?"

"This is too exaggerated."

"Gu Xiaobai has so much money?"

"Why is he willing to spend so much money?"

"Just build an airplane?"

"Teacher, stop joking..."

Even Boeing Airbus Lockheed Martin cannot invest so much in new products.

With such a high investment, if the project fails, even the Americans will probably commit seppuku.

This kind of method of investing billions at every turn, third-rate novels dare not write like this.

What is the concept of billions of dollars?
That is tens of billions of RMB, hundreds of billions of rubles!
In 2020, Russia's annual military expenditure will only be US$617 billion.

Basically, it is one-tenth of Russia's military expenditure!
Of course, Russia's military expenditure is indeed a bit small, but Russia's annual GDP is only one province in the country, and the proportion is not low.

Ilyasov is, of course, exaggerating.

Moreover, it is more than ten times exaggerated.

No exaggeration, he was really worried that these officials would force him to build a sky concert hall.

But on the other hand, he did not exaggerate, and was even very reserved.

Except for Gu Xiaobai, other people in this world can't build such a sky concert hall even if they spend tens of billions of dollars, let alone billions.

No way is no way.

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do... I'm tired and I'm going to rest. You all go back. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later." Ilyasov issued an order to evict the guest.

His students looked at me and I looked at you, and then said: "Then let's go back first."

"Teacher, please rest well."

"We'll see you again tomorrow."

After all, they still don't give up.

Walking out of the room, a student of Ilyasov said in a low voice: "The teacher is crazy, talking about billions of dollars... This is too exaggerated."

"That may not be possible. I thought about it just now. I'm afraid it can't be built with billions of dollars... This kind of super large project, I am afraid that only the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War have such strength..." The official said.

After thinking about it carefully, he somewhat accepted Ilyasov's idea.

It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, he has to go back and report to his superiors.Now I can only convince my superiors from this perspective.

"Spending so much money to build such an aircraft, what is he planning?" Several students still didn't believe it.

"Do you know how much money Gu Xiaobai earned from a sky tour?" the official asked.

"How many?"

How much money can a performance make?

Although Russia's economy is not very developed, its artistic foundation is still there. Most of them have gone to concerts. Think carefully about the concerts they have seen. Some concerts cost only a few tens of rubles...

"You know, the average price of tickets to the Sky Concert Hall this time is hundreds of thousands of dollars. There are a total of [-] places. How much is that?"

"Okay... hundreds of millions of dollars?"

Hundreds of millions of dollars for a show?

What the hell!

So profitable!

In the performance market, other companies' tours throughout the year may not make so much money!

Even if it is converted to the entire cultural market.

A movie can have a box office of [-] million US dollars, and it can also enter the rankings that year.

"This is just a ticket. Don't forget that Gu Xiaobai's performance will be broadcast live all over the world simultaneously. As for the broadcast authorization fee... you can do the math yourself."

Calculate, how to calculate?
But without too much calculation, Ilyasov's students were already frightened.

Even if costs and taxes are removed, there will be hundreds of millions of dollars left.

If one can earn hundreds of millions of dollars, I would also like to build a sky concert hall.

On the way back, everyone was silent.

An unspeakable sense of powerlessness arises spontaneously.

Then, when the official reported to his superior, he was naturally shocked again.

However, for Gu Xiaobai's sky concert, all ticket prices, broadcast fees, etc. were made public. After simply collecting some information, they looked at the final figures, and they were ready to move again.

want to make!
If such an aircraft is built, how much money can tourism earn?

Russia is really short of money, and it is also really short of military spending.

To what extent is the lack of military spending?The Russian military has opened a travel company.

Recently, many Western technology giants are speculating in space concept stocks, vying for the first launch of space tourism.

Tickets cost tens of millions of dollars, more expensive than the Sky Concert Hall.

Those so-called space tours are only at an altitude of [-] kilometers, not real space, and there is still an unreachable distance from the altitude of hundreds of kilometers where the space station is usually located.

And if your requirements are not high and you still have some spare money on hand, you can also take a MiG-29 fighter jet and fly to an altitude of nearly [-] kilometers to experience the beautiful scenery on the edge of the earth, as well as twice the speed of sound and nine times the gravity.

It can be said that it is high in quality and low in price, and children are not deceived.

Absolutely worth the price.

That's not counting, Russia is also engaged in real space travel!

As long as tens of millions of dollars, one or two years of training, you can go around the space station, and even experience a space walk!
That's right, spacewalks and other things that people all over the country pay attention to can be experienced next door for only tens of millions of dollars.

Tens of millions of dollars is a lot, but is it worth it?
Not even letting this little money go, one can imagine how far Russia is short of money.

Each organization creates and adopts itself, which is even more pitiful than Gu Xiaobai's tearful tour to support himself.

If you think about it carefully, if you have the Sky Concert Hall, can you set up a package with the MiG 29 and the Mir space station, and the product line will be enriched at once!

Sometimes, the brain circuits of the furry bears are also unpredictable.

Ilyasov thought that he had helped them dispel those unrealistic thoughts as much as possible.

But after he fell asleep and reversed his jet lag, he found that the official was waiting outside his door with a smile on his face.

"Professor, can you introduce us and help us cooperate with Gu Xiaobai."

"Cooperation?"

Ilyasov felt that these guys were really delusional...not changing.

"That's right, do you think Gu Xiaobai would be willing to come to our country to exchange technology and give some guidance to our project..."

Ilyasov couldn't laugh or cry, and was a little sad.

In a trance, it seems to have returned to the situation when he went to China and taught He Shisong and others more than 30 years ago.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, is it the other way around now?
"What's the reason? What can you give Xiaobai?" Ilyasov asked.

"Uh...don't you lose face?"

"I don't have that much face." Ilyasov shook his head.

No matter what the official said, Ilyasov shook his head like a rattle.

Ilyasov loved his country, but he did not trust his companions.

Decades ago, it was such a group of high-ranking people who hollowed out this country.

What if these guys brought Xiao Bai here to get some skills from him?

What if the method of "getting" some technology is too much?

After being rejected by Ilyasov without temper, the official left Ilyasov's house an hour later.

A question has been lingering in his mind.

How could you invite Gu Xiaobai?
Only to find another way.

A few days later.

A news came that more than a dozen top schools in Russia had invited Dongwon University through the "Sino-Russian Comprehensive University Alliance".

Invite Dongwon University School Song Contest to Moscow State University for the final.

At the same time, Russia will also send their best campus singers to participate in the final competition.

Ilyasov was shocked when he heard the news.

Since I can't invite you alone, then I invite you all!

Although the cost of inviting so many people is high, it is still less than the cost of inviting Gu Xiaobai alone!
Moreover, once it rises to the group, it is no longer a private issue, but an exchange between the two countries.

This matter is not even up to Dongyuan University to decide on its own.

Considering the current relationship between the two countries, is this invitation likely to be successful?
Moreover, Dongyuan University can also share the cost!
This approach is also very Russian.

Sure enough, after the invitation was sent out, a response was quickly received.

One of the two finals of Dongyuan University's school song competition will be held in Russia!

In addition, the relevant departments of Russia also sent an invitation to Gu Xiaobai in private, welcoming Gu Xiaobai to Russia to hold a "sky concert".

This means that Russia's airspace has been completely opened to Gu Xiaobai, allowing Gu Xiaobai's Sky Concert Hall to fly.

Gu Xiaobai was dumbfounded when he received a call from Ilyasov.

But thinking of my own mission, this is considered sleepy, will someone give me a pillow?

Although it is only Russia, but as a first step, it is okay.
