Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 869, Making a Fool of a Family of Loyal Martyrs

That evening, Yang Xiaole sent Xingxing and Yueyue to Wang Qiuju's house to sleep.

The reason, of course, is that he often has to go out to pick up goods and may not be home often.

And with school starting in a couple of days, it's definitely not good to have no one at home cooking, so the two little ones naturally went to cook.

They rested at Huang Xintong's place that day.

"How are you? How was your day?"

Yang Xiaole lay on the bed, hugging Huang Xintong and smiling.

Huang Xintong touched her belly and smiled: "Hmm, it's good. My parents are very kind. I've heard that people in mainland China are quite conservative, so I was a little worried."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled.

"They're alright, they're used to it."

Huang Xintong smiled, pursing her lips.

……

The next day, after getting up, Yang Xiaole went to Qianmen Street.

Feng Xue was already waiting there.

"When did you arrive?"

At the entrance of KFC, Yang Xiaole looked at Feng Xue and asked her with a smile.

Feng Xue smiled and said, "I just arrived! Yes, my dad is looking for you!"

"what?"

Yang Xiaole felt a little uneasy when he heard that his "father-in-law" wanted to see him.

After all, what he did was somewhat unethical. Although it was Feng Xue who took the initiative, he was a man and couldn't shift the blame to her.

If a man isn't interested, even the most beautiful woman can't get close to him.

He won't give himself that many reasons.

Seeing his expression, Feng Xue smiled and said, "Just kidding! He asked me to tell you that they've agreed to the ship you mentioned before. They want you to go to them to discuss the details."

Yang Xiaole breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, I understand. Did they say when?"

"He didn't say that, but he said to contact him if you have time."

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment after hearing this and agreed: "Okay!"

As long as I don't cause him trouble, that's fine.

Looking around, he said, "Let's go! I'll take you to see the shop and then we'll go through the formalities."

After saying that, he led her toward Qianmen Street.

"Why is it on the corner? Will it sell well like this?"

Arriving at the entrance of a shop, Feng Xue looked around and asked.

Yang Xiaole looked at the house located at the intersection and laughed, "What's wrong with this place? It's an intersection, and people coming and going can see it. There are no obstructions nearby. With some renovations, both sides can see the shop signs."

This is a nice house!
The traffic is so high.

Upon hearing this, Feng Xue hesitated for a moment before finally nodding slightly: "That seems to be true! You can see it whenever you pass by, and there are quite a lot of people passing by here."

"Yes, there are many courtyard houses nearby, and quite a few people live in them."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly.

Most of the residents here are elderly people from Beijing.

Whether it's work or other things, they receive more preferential treatment than those who come later, and they also have a little more money.

"Yes, let's take a look first. As for the renovations, I'll find someone to do them!"

The house has two floors and a fairly large area, making it a good choice for selling home appliances and audio-visual products.

The exhibition hall is located on the upper and lower floors, and there is a small courtyard in the back that can be used as a warehouse.

And the house isn't particularly old.

We'll make some minor renovations, improve the interior, and price it slightly lower than the market price.

There's absolutely no worry about selling them.

People's living standards have improved now.

The next few years will be a seller's market; in the future, it will be all about service.

The two looked around for a while, and then went to get their licenses.

Electrical appliance licenses are processed a little slower because they involve the industrial and import/export sectors.

Over the next few days, Yang Xiaole helped his father and Feng Xue set up the two shops.

The renovation will take some time.

The supply channels have all been arranged, and we're just waiting for the renovations to be completed so we can start selling.

As for hiring, Yang Xiaole didn't bother with it.

Let Feng Xue find someone herself.

He's almost done with his work and is now preparing to go to Hainan Island.

However, before that, he still had to go see Feng Guanhua.

Yang Xiaole drove straight to Feng Guanhua's workplace, and spoke with the people at the post.

They called him and told him to wait.

After a while, a car came and picked him up.

This time, instead of making him wait in the conference room, he was taken directly to the office.

After arriving, there were layers of checks.

Finally, we arrived at our destination.

After Yang Xiaole was brought in, the person who brought him there left.

Looking at Feng Guanhua sitting there expressionless, Yang Xiaole thought to himself, "The old man is definitely doing this on purpose."

After watching the person leave, Feng Guanhua pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit down!"

There wasn't much of an expression on his face.

Yang Xiaole sat down upon hearing this.

Feng Guanhua put down the pen in his hand, crossed his hands and placed them on the table, staring straight at him.

Nor spoke.

Yang Xiaole looked at the other person and said with a smile, "Uncle Feng, you were looking for me!"

Feng Guanhua led troops in battle for many years in his early years, and with his high position in recent years, he has a very strong presence.

If it were an ordinary person, or even someone a level or two below, they would probably be restless and uneasy by now.

Unfortunately, Yang Xiaole is none other than...

Even if he were to be one level higher, it wouldn't affect him.

Feng Guanhua stared at him for a while before calmly saying, "Regarding the cruiser you mentioned earlier, the higher-ups have already agreed, but there's a problem: transportation. This is a very sensitive matter and cannot be discovered."

"Agreement is one thing, but if a suitable solution isn't available, the higher-ups would rather abandon the plan."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He could understand, of course.

A cruiser is indeed important, but compared to international relations, it's not worth causing trouble.

If it does not align with actual interests.

"I know their plan: to use the time difference caused by Earth's revolution around the sun to keep the ships sailing on the high seas, stopping during the day and sailing at night. Finally, at night, they'll bring the ships into port, but they'll need to build shelters there to prevent satellite imagery..."

I gave a brief explanation of the situation.

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, he laughed and said, "Moreover, once they enter our territorial waters, our ships are allowed to approach and accompany them, and our aircraft are allowed to be armed and parked on the ships."

Security is a concern for the other party.

Such a powerful warship, if we don't allow the other side to get close and accompany it, it's easy to make a big fuss.

After all, it is a large nuclear-powered cruiser.

Feng Guanhua's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

He was originally going to talk about safety issues.

In that case, there's no problem.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem. How long do you estimate it will take to complete? Will the payment method be the same as before?"

"It's estimated to be until the end of the year. The payment method will remain the same as before. Once you receive the goods and check that there are no problems, we will then make the payment to the company in Hong Kong."

Feng Guanhua nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Okay, I understand. Let's do it that way."

The two then discussed the details further.

The details were finally finalized.

The two made it sound simple, but it required a lot of manpower and resources to coordinate behind the scenes.

Only one person can do it.

Feng Guanhua, in any case, lacked the ability and authority to do so.

Without that person's authorization, he couldn't have done many things, even if he wanted to make some contribution to the mainland.

The two talked for a long time before finally settling on the details.

The matter has been settled.

Seeing that Feng Guanhua still had a stern face, Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Feng, there are E-3 early warning aircraft and SR-71 'Blackbird' reconnaissance aircraft over there." Upon hearing this, Feng Guanhua's eyes widened.

"real or fake?"

It's not surprising that he could get his hands on the Russian equipment.

But it would be strange if we could get our hands on the models from the big, pretty place.

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded: "Yes, the bald eagles have quite a few bases in the Middle East. They say they have a way! Do we need it?"

The E-3 early warning aircraft and the SR-71 "Blackbird" reconnaissance aircraft were both models that the Bald Eagle only entered service in the 1980s.

He still remembers what happened in 81192.

It was after that incident that an EP-3 electronic reconnaissance aircraft was salvaged, and since then, the development of reconnaissance and early warning aircraft in mainland China has been rapid.

After the machine was salvaged, thousands of researchers from all over the country gathered together to study it.

He did indeed acquire an early warning aircraft before.

But there should be some from the Bald Eagle side as well.

Both of these models were top-of-the-line for their time.

The E-3 early warning aircraft is a large early warning aircraft that performs strategic-level airborne early warning missions.

The "Blackbird" can reach a maximum speed of Mach 3.5, approximately 3800 kilometers per hour, and fly at an altitude of over 3 meters. It has all-weather reconnaissance capabilities and can transmit high-resolution images in real time.

This aircraft carried out many high-risk reconnaissance missions in the 80s, becoming a benchmark in the field of aerial reconnaissance at that time.

Actually, the important thing about these two fighter jets is not the aircraft themselves.

It's the electronic equipment on top.

These words made Feng Guanhua's expression turn somewhat serious.

"If this gets leaked, it will be a very big deal."

Yang Xiaole said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's the same as before, the plane will land at night."

At Blackbird's speed, it should only take about an hour.

We'll get a few from the Middle East then.

Anyway, if things get chaotic in the Middle East, it won't affect us here much.

Be messy.

The more chaotic things are over there, the better it is for the mainland.

Two thousand years from now, peace will be needed, and by then, we'll have gathered almost everything we need.

Feng Guanhua pondered upon hearing this.

"I still need to ask about this, after all, the impact is just too great."

We currently have a good relationship with the United States, so it wouldn't be good if this affected our relations.

Yang Xiaole naturally understood the reasoning behind it.

Offending both extremes of this era carries significant risks.

But it's soon.

By next year, the Russian bear's decline will be on the verge of collapse, and the bald eagle will cut off many collaborations, and many previously open equipment will be subject to renewed embargoes.

It gets stricter every year.

In the end, a state of opposition was formed.

"Alright, Uncle Feng, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"

Feng Guanhua just stared at him.

That bastard stole my cabbage and won't even give me a proper title.

How could he not be angry.

However, when he thought about how his daughter was already forty and still had no interest in dating, he immediately lost heart.

Moreover, he already knew how precious the medicinal wine Yang Xiaole had been giving him was.

Looking at Yang Xiaole at this moment, he felt a mix of emotions.

The Yang Xiaole of today is not the same Yang Xiaole of the past.

Personally, since it was his own daughter who was so eager to pursue him, he couldn't really say anything. After all, there's no right or wrong when it comes to matters of the heart.

From an official standpoint, Yang Xiaole is no longer someone who can be easily manipulated.

The person above has been watching him for many years, and especially in recent years, as the strength behind Yang Xiaole has gradually come to the surface, no one dares to make a move.

After all, it has brought too many benefits to the mainland.

Whether it's the economy or technology.

In terms of technology, he acquired too many high-end products.

Economically, it was also among the first to respond to the influx of large amounts of capital from the mainland.

It can be said that the group behind Yang Xiaole accounts for more than 80% of foreign investment entering the mainland. It is only in recent years, when foreign investment in the mainland has started to increase, that the proportion has slightly decreased.

The reason why the higher-ups didn't arrange a meeting is also due to their own considerations.

With him and Wang around, they can act as a buffer.

Thinking about it, I comforted myself, this guy has kept the Feng family line going.

Thinking about it now, this guy isn't so bad after all!

Feng Guanhua tried his best to comfort himself.

I'll discipline this guy when I retire and take care of my grandchildren.

that is it.

We can't delay things at the higher-ups.

Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you. The three Y-10 aircraft have completed their tests."

Yang Xiaole raised an eyebrow.

Several years have passed since we last discussed cooperation.

He hadn't paid much attention to this kind of news.

"Oh, Uncle, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Guanhua said, "After the Y-10 completed its testing, all its performance indicators met the standards, but the aircraft still has many problems. Although 95% of its airborne components are domestically produced, there are still 58 key technologies that need to be imported."

In recent years, various systems have made breakthroughs, but ultimately they are still limited, and their performance lags far behind that of foreign models.

The engine noise is loud, and the aircraft is not comfortable...

Short lifespan, poor range, and high fuel consumption all reduce economic value. ......

He rattled off a whole bunch of things.

Yang Xiaole listened quietly.

He then asked, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, the higher-ups are asking if it's still worthwhile to continue the research? After all, the investment is huge, and if we don't get satisfactory results later on, then..."

They were worried that the losses would be too great and that Yang Xiaole would be dissatisfied.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "It's okay, let's continue our research. If the engine doesn't work, then we'll research the engine; if the avionics don't work, then we'll research the avionics system; if the materials don't work, then we'll research the materials."

I'm prepared to operate at a loss for 20 years.

Upon hearing this, Feng Guanhua took a breath.

That's billions of dollars!
"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, sure!"

Seeing that he said that, Feng Guanhua didn't say anything more.

"Okay, I understand. That's all."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly, then said as if remembering something, "Oh, right, there's something I need to remind you of."

"whats the matter?"

"The reform of state-owned enterprises is now imminent. At that time, many people will definitely use joint venture financial means to turn public property into their own."

Upon hearing this, Feng Guanhua frowned.

"What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaole recounted the methods used by Old Liu in his later years.

This is actually a helpless situation.

Because many things now have loopholes, and even if they are legal and compliant, there's nothing that can be done about it.

I also briefly mentioned the story of the Liu family, a family of loyal martyrs.

"Please talk to Chief Wang about this and ask him to be a little more careful."

This involves financial techniques, and if I go into too much detail, Lao Feng might not understand, but Lao Wang is different.

Even if he doesn't understand, he has a think tank behind him.

Even if these think tanks aren't particularly familiar with this method, at least they're taking precautions by revealing it themselves.

After listening, Feng Guanhua frowned.

He felt like he understood, but it also seemed like he didn't.

However, he still said, "Okay, I understand. I will tell the higher-ups."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole nodded, said goodbye, and left.
