Chapter 02 General Dynamics
Xie Wendong pondered for a moment and asked: "Who is this person?"
Dongfang Yi: "This is Nicholas Chabraga, the president of General Dynamics."
"General Motors?" Xie Wendong searched for this familiar name in his mind: "This seems to be the name of a kind of car."
When mentioning "General Motors", most Chinese people can think of the famous "GM", think of the "Shanghai GM" running all over the streets, think of the American "Buick", and think of the business legend Welch. But few people think of it.
Another "general" - the arms giant General Dynamics (gd for short).
General Dynamics is the largest arms dealer in the United States and one of the defense contractors.
Its industry is divided into four major areas, one is navigation equipment, mainly manufacturing warships and nuclear submarines; the other is the aviation field, including commercial aircraft and fighter jets; the third is the information system and technology sector; the fourth is the manufacturing of offensive weapons. Its research and development
The F-16 fighter jet is the most produced fighter jet in Western countries. It is currently engaged in four major businesses: ship systems, combat systems, information systems and technology, and aerospace.
This integrated defense group company, headquartered in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland, has 72,000 employees and total revenue of US$21.2 billion in 2005. It is known as the sixth largest arms dealer in the world.
Most of Xie Wendong's arms are imported from Russia. Everyone knows that Russian weapons are second-rate at best and far inferior to American weapons.
But there is nothing we can do about it. The U.S. government has too strict controls on ZG’s arms exports. Even Xie Wendong, who has great hands and eyes, it is almost impossible for the United States to import weapons in large quantities.
Xie Wendong had no business dealings with General Motors, so he had no impression of General Motors. He turned to the first page of the document, which introduced the basic situation of "General Dynamics" in detail. After a few glances, he was puzzled.
Said: "What does this have to do with me?"
Dongfang Yi pulled out a piece of paper from a thick stack of documents and handed it to Xie Wendong: "We got news that this General Dynamics company has developed a laser weapon. This laser weapon only costs a few dollars each time it is fired. It is very lethal.
Very huge. If the United States equips its military with this kind of weapon, many countries will suffer, including the government. For the benefit of the country and the people... (the five crosses are omitted below)."
Dongfang Yi is a typical lobbyist. Whatever he says can be said with great justice and involve the interests of the country and the people.
Yuan Hua has a straightforward personality and does not make many twists and turns. He said cheerfully: "The old man above wants you to steal this technology."
"Pfft," Xie Wendong almost choked on his own saliva and said, "Go steal the most advanced laser weapon in the United States. The old man really treats me as a master key."
The most advanced laser weapon in the United States involves too many things. The U.S. military, FBI, CIA, GD, U.S. government, and Xie Wendong have all dealt with these people before and are well aware of its dangers. Every step of the way
They are all walking on thin ice, and if they are not careful, they can die without a burial place.
Dongfang Yi smiled and said: "If you can't do it, then I'm afraid no one can."
Xie Wendong shook his head: "Brother Dongfang really praises me too much."
Dongfang Yi also shook his head: "I'm really not trying to flatter you. Please listen to me patiently first. In addition to being the president of General Dynamics, this Nicholas has two identities."
Xie Wendong is listening.
Dongfang Yidao: "Nicholas was born in California, USA. He graduated from Harvard University's Department of Ordnance Manufacturing. He is the top arms manufacturing expert in the United States. At the same time, he is also the brother of a gang called Blue River in California, USA. You can use the gangster gang
If you contact Nicholas as the eldest brother, you won’t attract the attention of the U.S. government.”
The experiences of Nicholas and Xie Wendong are very similar. They were both born in ordinary families. Both of them have a black left hand and a white right hand. Both of them have great ambitions and a desire to challenge and stimulate.
Nicholas! Xie Wendong silently kept this name in his heart. In the future, this person will be his opponent. Becoming Xie Wendong’s opponent, I don’t know if Nicholas is lucky or unlucky.
"I can't agree." Xie Wendong clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the sky.
Yuan Hua: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Xie Wendong rolled his eyes and pointed to the sea in front of him: "Of course I know. Minister Yuan, what did you see?"
Yuan Hua said nothing and looked at Xie Wendong with wide eyes.
Xie Wendong shrugged and said slowly: "This is my home, here are my family, brothers. I can do anything for them."
Yuan Hua was smarter than a thousand old foxes and five hundred Dongfang Yi, so he couldn't detect Xie Wendong's hidden meaning.
He showed a mysterious smile and said calmly: "If you help us get the technology of laser weapons, I will apply to the higher authorities to send a group of military experts to design an air, sea and ground defense for your small island.
system."
Xie Wendong's eyes lit up, what he was waiting for was Yuan Hua's words.
The defense system is not as simple as a few cannons and a few aircraft. It is an all-round protective cover and an extremely strong door. Back then, the Rothschild family's killers almost destroyed the entire Paradise Island using warships.
If Paradise Island has a national defense-level defense system, even if ten warships attack you, it will not be conquered in a short time. This kind of system is the core technology of a country, and no amount of money can buy it back.
.
In contrast, Yuan Hua does not suffer. The value of a laser technology can far exceed the value of a defense system. What's more, it is not very difficult to just deploy a defense system on these five small islands.
"Does Minister Yuan mean what he says?" Xie Wendong asked rhetorically.
Yuan Hua's face straightened: "My words can represent the Prime Minister."
Xie Wendong narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, I agree. I wonder how long the country can give me?"
Yuan Hua: "At most three months. You should understand why you fall behind step by step. In addition, in order not to make the US government suspicious, we will not give you any assistance this time. You have to rely on yourself for everything."
Xie Wendong nodded, he had already thought of this.
After Yuan Hua and Dongfang Yi stayed on Paradise Island for a week, they first took a flight to Darwin, then transferred from Darwin to Australia International Airport, and then returned to BJ from the international airport. Before leaving, Xie Wendong prepared a suitcase for each of them.
As for what is contained in the box, it is naturally self-evident.
Xie Wendong has a characteristic: he does not spend money that should be spent, and he is not stingy at all with money that should be spent. There are only two types of people who criticize money. One is extremely poor, and he is jealous.
There is also a type of people who have too much money to spend. They love money enough, and money no longer arouses their desire to conquer.
During the time when Yuan Hua and Dongfang Yi stayed at Paradise Island, Xie Wendong did not tell them the reason for their visit, only that they were here for vacation.
Seeing his brothers raising their families one by one, he really couldn't bear to ruin their peaceful lives anymore. He decided not to tell them that he wanted to complete the difficult task alone.
Before leaving, Paradise Island held the largest bonfire party in its history. Peng Ling looked at the fireworks in the sky and nestled in his arms like a kitten.
"Wendong, are you leaving?" Peng Ling said calmly.
Xie Wendong was stunned, how could she know this?
Seeing that Xie Wendong didn't speak, Peng Ling's eyes flashed with something crystal clear. She didn't show any sadness or reluctance, as if she was used to it: "Wendong, you are a man who always likes to hide things in his heart. Although I see
I don’t know what you are going to do, but a woman’s consciousness tells me that you are leaving.”
Xie Wendong was stunned for a while, then nodded slowly: "If it was for myself, I could choose not to go. But this time it's for others, and I have to go."
The reason why he didn't replace "others" with "you" was because he didn't want Peng Ling to feel too burdened.
Peng Ling nodded virtuously and silently: "I understand. Because you...you don't belong to anyone, and no one can have you exclusively."
Xie Wendong flicked Peng Ling's cheek and said: "No matter who lives in this world, they should live meaningfully, right? Some people live for themselves, and some live for others."
Peng Ling said sadly: "Women are all selfish. I originally hoped to completely monopolize you, but if you continue like this, you will gradually become another person... and you will no longer be Xie Wendong. At that time, say
Maybe I won’t like you anymore.”
Xie Wendong stared at her, not knowing whether it was pain, sadness, or gratitude.
He suddenly realized that she was still so considerate, so good that it made people feel guilty.
Xie Wendong said: "If I leave, will you...be lonely?"
Peng Ling's originally gloomy eyes suddenly turned soft and bright beyond words: "After you leave, I will never feel lonely again. Because I know there will still be someone with me."
Xie Wendong frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Who is this person?"
Peng Ling stroked her belly and said with the joy of being a new mother: "Your child."
Xie Wendong almost jumped out of his skin and lost his voice: "You already have my child?"
Peng Ling nodded: "It's just because I already have your child that I'm willing to let you go. It's also because I already have your child that you can leave with peace of mind... You should also understand this."
Xie Wendong suddenly regretted that he had agreed to Yuan Hua so quickly. If Peng Ling had a child, could he still leave? If he left, wouldn't he be worse than a bastard?
Peng Ling noticed his concerns and said softly: "Go back quickly, my child and I are waiting for you at home."
Xie Wendong: "..."
He finally left, taking Yuan Tianzhong, Xiong Zhangqing and Li Songda with him.
He didn't bring any of the giants like Sanyan, Gao Qiang, Li Shuang, Jiang Sen, Liu Bo, and Ren Changfeng, and he didn't even say hello. Now, they all have people they love, and they have the right to choose their lives.
