The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 465 Far East
As we all know, since the Opium War in 1840, the modern history of the past 200 years is a history of humiliation for the Yan Kingdom.

In the course of these 200 years, the people of Yan Kingdom have endured unimaginable sufferings, and among them, the great power that did the most damage to the territory of Yan Kingdom and plundered the most interests was the former Tsarist Russian Empire.

Going far, as far back as the Western Han Dynasty, General Huo Qubing's soldiers pointed directly at Lake Baikal, and the Han army came here with thousands of horses and horses. It has been the territory of the Yan Kingdom since ancient times.

In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi signed the "Nerchinsk Treaty" with Tsarist Russia, directly ceding nearly [-] square kilometers of Lake Baikal to Tsarist Russia.

To put it closer, it is even more a history of blood and tears.

After 1840, the Qing Dynasty completely declined.

In 1858, Tsarist Russia forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the "Aigun Treaty", which not only forced the Qing Dynasty to cede more than 60 square kilometers of land in the Northeast, but also included the "Tumen River Estuary" that originally belonged to the Northeast into the territory of Tsarist Russia.

So far, the Northeast Hei and Kyrgyz provinces have completely lost their access to the sea, lost the opportunity to directly enter the "Sea of ​​Japan", and became inland provinces.

In the past, when the economy and trade were underdeveloped, the lack of seaports did not have much impact, but with the beginning of global trade, seaports directly affected the economic lifelines of Hei and Kyrgyzstan!
It is no exaggeration to say that the slow development of the Northeast in recent years has a great relationship with the loss of the seaport!

Hu Lai had a good understanding of this period of history, and at this time he was shocked when he heard Director Wang suddenly mentioning this matter.

From Director Wang's point of view, could it be that the higher-ups have ideas? !
but……

Before he came back to his senses, Director Wang changed the topic, with a wry smile on his face.

"However, if this matter is to be done, the difficulty behind it is too great!"

"The historical factors, social factors, etc. involved in it will make this matter very complicated. It is definitely not a 'manned moon landing' that will make them make up their minds."

Director Wang's words completely annihilated the excitement that Hu Lai had just ignited.

Think carefully, indeed.

Not to mention historical factors and social factors, the pressure of domestic public opinion alone is enough to make it difficult for any decision maker to make such a decision!

Return the land or cede land for compensation?

Such a thing will be nailed to the pillar of historical shame!

Thinking of this, Hu Lai sighed slightly, took a sip from the teacup on the table, and said in a slightly disappointed way:
"Yes, the territorial issue is a very sensitive issue in any country... Once it is fermented, public opinion will be unimaginable!"

After a pause, he looked at Director Wang again, and sighed:
"It seems that this matter is almost unsolvable..."

The voice fell, and the office fell into silence.

Unexpectedly, after a few seconds, Director Wang's voice suddenly sounded.

"Actually... it's not like there's no chance at all."

Ok?
Director Wang continued to explain:

"Actually, today's Da Mao is in a very dangerous situation, whether it is the international environment or its own economic development, and they have completely lost their initiative strategically!"

"To be precise, they have now entered the most recessionary and weakest period in decades. Of course, this is an excellent strategic opportunity for us."

"Especially after they got stuck in the quagmire of Europe, their control and management of the Far East has declined significantly, and their population in the Far East has become smaller and smaller..."

Having said that, Director Wang paused for a moment, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"If...if this time, in the name of economic cooperation and joint development, we can let them loose a hole, so that we can enter the land that originally belonged to us to live, do business, and trade..."

"In the future, we may not have no chance!"

Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he said:

"Far East Economic Zone?!"

"Assimilation? Infiltrate in the name of the economic zone and increase our influence in the Far East?!"

Director Wang nodded heavily.

……

An hour later, the two sides held a meeting.

On Yanguo's side, Factory Manager Zhang and Director Wang were still the leaders, together with several comrades from the Ministry of Commerce, they formed the Yanguo delegation.

Hu Lai didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, but after communicating with Director Wang, it also aroused his interest.

but.

He did not attend the meeting in person, but followed the meeting remotely through online video.

On the other side, Yuri Lev and several officials who came with him attended the meeting of the Da Mao delegation.

After the members of both parties entered the conference room, the simple courtesy, the meeting entered the theme.

The first to speak was Yurilev.

"Manager Zhang, Director Wang, thank you very much for providing us with the opportunity to communicate alone."

"Let me explain, we didn't speak at the meeting yesterday because too many people participated in yesterday's meeting..."

"We would still prefer to have a detailed discussion with your company individually."

Factory Manager Zhang and Director Wang smiled at each other, tacit understanding.

After a while, Director Zhang said with a smile:

"Mr. Yurilev, it's all right."

"With the friendship between our two countries, it is also good to listen to your opinions alone."

A smile suddenly appeared on Yurilev's face, and he said:

"Thank you for your understanding, Manager Zhang."

"Don't worry, we came here with sincerity this time. We are willing to sign an agreement and join the 'Moon Joint Development Program' led by your country. We also hope to cooperate with your company on the 'Manned Moon Landing' project."

Hearing this, Director Zhang and Director Wang nodded frequently.

Just as the two continued to listen, Yurilev changed the subject and said:
"but……"

"To be honest, Manager Zhang, although we are not worried about your company's successful 'Manned Moon Landing', we still want to know how far your company's 'Manned Moon Landing' technology has been verified?"

"In other words, we want to know clearly that your company can achieve a real 'manned moon landing' in a few years? Three years, five years? Or a shorter time?!"

"Only when we know the exact time can we decide how much we will pay."

Hearing Yurilev's question, Director Zhang smiled friendly, then shook his head and said:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yurilev, but to what extent our technical verification is our commercial secret, we can't disclose it to you now."

"However, I believe that you have visited the aerospace department of our Phoenix Group these days, and observed our 'Chang'e Series' launches at close range. Based on your professionalism, you should already have your own answer in your heart."

"But I can tell you the time of 'Manned Moon Landing', and this is what we will announce to the world next."

"If there are no accidents, we will realize Yan Kingdom's first 'manned moon landing' within two years, sending two astronauts to the moon."

within two years.

Hearing what Director Zhang said, Yurilev's expression didn't change much.

Not only him, but the accompanying personnel beside him were also very calm. Obviously, the answer within two years was within their expectations.

The expressions of several people fell into the eyes of Director Zhang. After a while, he coughed lightly and said:

"Mr. Yurilev, I have already told you what you want to know, so let's get back to today's topic."

"Since you said that you hope to cooperate with our Phoenix Group to 'manned moon landing', you also saw the situation yesterday. The United Arab Emirates Space Agency paid 60 billion US dollars to buy the 'ticket' for the second round of moon landing."

"Although Adelaide Space Agency did not give so much money, it also provided us with a lot of good reciprocity policies."

"so……"

"In what way do you want to cooperate with us? Seeing the friendly friendship between our two countries, we can give priority to cooperation with you under the same conditions!"

After Yurilev received the answer from Director Zhang himself that he would be able to land a man on the moon within two years, he felt at ease.

This time node is similar to the moon landing time they calculated based on the various "manned moon landing" projects completed by the Phoenix Group and various aerospace data released.

It's pretty reliable.

Thinking about this clearly, he looked up at Director Zhang for two seconds, and then said:
"Of course, we have prepared enough sincerity."

"The first is the cooperation with your company. We are willing to increase the purchase of chips, cars, computers and other commodities from your company."

"Secondly, we can increase the export supply of crude oil, natural gas, grain and other commodities to your country..."

"In addition, for your company's 'Manned Moon Landing' project, we can provide technical support, such as scientific research personnel in the field of aeroengines and aerospace materials."

"Finally, as long as we can work together to land on the moon, we can transfer some technologies to your country... such as high-thrust rocket engines, nuclear aviation engines and even nuclear submarine technology... We all have quite advanced scientific and technological achievements in these technologies, and they are also expensive. The relatively weak link of China, I think your country will be interested."

"The transfer of these technologies is our greatest sincerity, which other countries cannot give to your country; I think their weight is enough to allow us to have a place in your country's 'manned moon landing' cooperation."

Factory Manager Zhang shook his head without changing his face, and replied lightly:

"not enough."

"not enough?"

Yurilev was obviously surprised.

Although he didn't talk about the core content of the cooperation in more detail, according to the deduction last night, just the introduction of these few technologies should be enough to arouse Yan Guo's interest!
But at this moment, the attitude shown by the director Zhang in front of him was not as enthusiastic as he imagined.

What went wrong?

At this moment, Director Zhang said:
"Aren't you talking about purchasing our chips and increasing crude oil exports? Are these things we are cooperating with?"

"As for scientific research personnel to support us, to be honest, we don't need it now, our team is enough to complete our project."

"Among the conditions you put forward, only the transfer of technology can interest us a little bit, but not much..."

Having said that, Director Zhang paused, and leaned back on the chair in a relaxed manner.

"Actually, to tell you the truth, we have completely conquered the high-thrust rocket engine technology, and we don't need your technology!"

"And just now I told you that manned moon landings will be possible within two years, but... if we are purely technical, we can now achieve 'manned moon landings'!"

Is it technically possible to land a man on the moon? !
Yurilev and the others were obviously stunned. They did know that the Phoenix Group had recently developed the latest hydrogen-oxygen rocket engine - Hot Wheels.

but.

Because the Phoenix Group has not released any data to the outside world, the outside world knows little about the "Hot Wheels" engine and cannot fully determine its performance!

And now!
Factory Manager Zhang actually admitted that there is no problem with manned landing on the moon on the technical level!

For a moment, he was a little uncertain whether what Zhang Zhang said was true or not.

At this moment, Director Zhang continued:

"Besides, your nuclear aero-engine and nuclear submarine technologies are even less attractive to our Phoenix Group, and we can't use them."

Yurilev was silent for a while.

However, he quickly realized that what Director Zhang said that the Phoenix Group would not be able to use the nuclear technology was nothing more than a rhetoric, and the implication was that these technologies could not impress Yan Guo.

He took a deep breath and didn't intend to circle around.

"Manager Zhang, Director Wang, we came here with sincerity."

"Since you are not satisfied with the conditions we have given, you can also put forward your demands so that we can communicate more effectively."

Manager Zhang nodded slightly, looked at Director Wang tacitly in the blink of an eye, and said:

"To be honest, many of your technologies are no longer what we urgently need. If you just transfer the technology, it is not very attractive to us."

"Now we hope that the two sides will carry out more in-depth cooperation in economic and trade exchanges."

Economic and trade exchanges?
Yurilev frowned subconsciously, and immediately thought of plans such as free trade zones and tariffs mentioned by several NASAs at yesterday's meeting.

After a few seconds, he tentatively said:
"Free trade zone? Economic zone?"

Factory Manager Zhang thumped in his heart, but there was no slight expression fluctuation on his face.

He thought for a while, then nodded and said:

"Free trade zones and special economic zones are indeed good options."

Although Director Zhang's affirmation was already very cryptic, Yurilev still felt very keenly in the next second that this should be the condition Yan Guo wanted.

Before he could speak, a Da Mao staff member accompanying him suddenly whispered in his ear:

"Yurilev, we have already had a lot of economic and trade cooperation with Yan State. It can be said that the basic economic and trade cooperation that can be carried out has basically been signed."

"If it's a free trade zone or a special economic zone, the only one left to cooperate is the Far East..."

Far East?

At the meeting table at this time, it is obvious that there is not enough time for Yurilev to think about the key points of the Far East, and the accompanying personnel cannot understand the real intention of Yan Kingdom for a while.

but.

Originally, today's meeting was a preliminary discussion on cooperation with the Phoenix Group, and I didn't expect to reach a conclusion in one go.

Thinking of this, Yurilev calmed down and said:

"Manager Zhang, the problems in the Far East Economic Zone have exceeded my authority, and I need to report to the higher authorities."

"But don't worry, there will be a reply soon."

Director Zhang nodded slightly, then shrugged and said:

"Well, I hope you will come up with a sincere plan as soon as possible..."

"Our patience is limited."
