Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2558 Where does the confidence come from?
in the office.

Hearing Alfat's question, Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a second, and then his heart suddenly started pounding.

When these words are spoken, everyone knows what the other person means.

Moreover, the other party is really a rich man.

I can’t say anything else, but if I invest tens of billions of US dollars, the other party will never frown, and it can also help him solve the funding problem.

It's a win-win situation.

But the next second, Yang Xiaotao threw this idea out of his mind.

Sometimes, having money isn't enough.

Especially for projects like this one that concern national security, purity is even more important.

This purity must be a touch of red.

So he could cooperate with the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, and he could also cooperate with President Qu and President Yu, but he could never cooperate with anyone outside the country.

This is just like it is impossible to allow foreigners to participate in Mushroom Egg, even if they just change their nationality.

This is a matter of principle.

Otherwise, you will give others an advantage, and you may end up doing something bad with good intentions, giving others an advantage and asking for trouble.

Especially in the current situation, the development speed and achievements of the nine departments have long been a concern for some people.

The more this happens, the more careful you should be.

His thoughts turned over in his mind for several times, but there was no change on Yang Xiaotao's face.

Looking at Alfat who was looking expectant in front of him, Yang Xiaotao was reluctant to refuse, but he couldn't be too willful.

“There is no need for investment yet.”

Yang Xiaotao said this softly, and Alfat was a little disappointed.

Yang Xiaotao then continued, "However, I can apply to my superiors to sell you a satellite phone. It will be convenient for you to contact me when the time comes."

The next second, Alfate jumped up from where he was standing, "Great, great."

"Ahem, let me first explain. This phone call is not cheap, and the call charges are not cheap either. They are all calculated by the second."

Yang Xiaotao quickly spoke to calm down the excited Alfate, but the latter smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I still have this little money."

"By the way, Brother Yang, do you have it now?"

"I want to try it first."

Alphate's face was full of curiosity.

He had been in the Ninth Ministry Research Institute for quite some time, so naturally he had heard about the satellite phone.

But he was so focused on the research and design of the car that he didn't pay attention to anything else. When he heard it, he just said "hmm" and didn't go into it too deeply.

But after talking to his father on the phone, he realized that the things he didn't care about were so valuable.

It’s a pity that I can’t fulfill my father’s instructions and can’t make investments or deepen our relationship.

But that's fine, as long as I can use the satellite phone.

"This is not enough. Our current production must give priority to meeting the needs of relevant departments."

Yang Xiaotao said seriously, of course this was not nonsense, there were really too many people staring at him.

He had a general idea about what happened on Kashima, but he knew nothing about the satellite phone.

It is clear that in the sea and air experiments, this satellite phone perfectly completed the communication task.

Although there are still some 'flaws', it is undeniable that it has changed communications.

This kind of "wireless phone" is the key to victory at the critical moment.

Therefore, after returning to Sijiu City, President Peng informed Yang Xiaotao and asked him to do as much as possible and arm all parties as soon as possible.

At the same time, this item is listed as a strategic material and is subject to control.

What this means is that you can only make this thing, but who it is used for needs approval from above.

Of course, as the R&D and manufacturing party, President Peng generously reserved ten places for the Ninth Department.

Giving ten out of three thousand can be considered a "favorable treatment".

As for how to arrange the remaining 2,990, that is not something the Ninth Department should ask.

As a result, the original distribution method agreed by Yang Xiaotao was completely disrupted.

The promises made to Wang Huzi, Han Xuanfeng, Dean Qu and Dean Yu do not count.

Of course, the assistance that Dean Qu and Dean Yu promised to provide to Yang Xiaotao did not arrive.

Wang Huzi and Han Xuanfeng, who knew the news, also called them specifically to ask for more shares.

If Yang Xiaotao hadn't said it, there were only 3,000 channels in total, and with 3,000 satellite phones, Yang Xiaotao wouldn't have any left over.

As for the idea of ​​using these ten phones, forget it.

Later I found out that the two of them had received the same number of places as him, ten.

This also made Yang Xiaotao feel a little more balanced.

After sending Alfat away, Yang Xiaotao sat in the chair and was a little distracted.

Lou Xiao'e saw that Yang Xiaotao had changed like a different person after sending Alfat away, so she approached him carefully and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did something bad happen to you?"

Yang Xiaotao came back to his senses, glanced at Lou Xiaoe, and then shook his head, "Nothing."

"It's just that I missed out on hundreds of billions of dollars. I feel a little sad."

Hearing this, Lou Xiaoe’s eyes widened.

She was sure she had heard it correctly, it was several hundred billion.

But, is it just heartache?

She felt that the gap between her and Yang Xiaotao's realm was getting bigger and bigger.

“We still have to make money.”

Frowning as he looked at the documents on the table, Yang Xiaotao rubbed his cheeks hard, thinking of a solution.

Mr. Chen’s office.

Mr. Zeng from the Security Department came over early in the morning to have tea.

When Mr. Chen saw the other party coming, he took out his collection of tea. The two of them drank tea and chatted in the lounge, talking about the changes over the years.

"Old Chen, do you think this kid can resist the temptation?"

Mr. Zeng drank a bellyful of water, looked at the time, and felt that it was about time, so he asked Mr. Chen what he thought.

The last time they monitored Arafat's conversation, they heard the news about the satellite phone. The good news is that this news was not mentioned by Arafat, but was obtained by Mosidov from other sources.

This saved the nine departments from some trouble.

At the same time, it also reminded them that the matter of the satellite phone could no longer be hidden.

The bad news is that Mosidov wants to get involved and invest in satellite research with his huge financial resources.

He knew the difficulties that the Ninth Department had been facing recently, especially now, because developing a communications satellite would cost a lot of money.

At this time, the other party proposed to inject capital and invest, and give money to Jiubu. Can Jiubu resist?
Can Yang Xiaotao bear it?

Anyway, in his impression, young people can easily lose control of some things.

Especially since Yang Xiaotao has a very good relationship with the other party, this opportunity is even more rare.

But Old Chen waved his hand and said, "Old Zeng, stop talking. I have confidence in this kid."

"He, though, seems unreliable and a bit impulsive in some things."

"But when faced with major issues, we can still stick to the bottom line."

Mr. Zeng just smiled and said, "Do you trust him so much?"

Then he whispered, "This kid wants to build a communications satellite. How much money will it cost? Don't say you don't know."

"Now we are entangled in money issues. Aren't you really worried that he will agree with just one nod?"

"After all, we are still in a cooperative relationship."

Elder Chen continued to shake his head, "Worried? Worried about what?"

"It's just money, it's not a big deal."

Mr. Zeng shouted, "Money is not a big deal. You make it sound so easy. How about you help me solve the funding problem for this year?"

Old Chen glanced at him and said, "Let's talk business. Can you stop talking nonsense?"

Mr. Zeng lowered his head to drink tea, while Mr. Chen changed the subject.

"Besides, we don't really ask him to make it right now, so just take your time."

"Others may not know the situation of the Nine Departments, but don't I know it?"

"As long as he is not anxious, others will be anxious."

Mr. Chen spoke calmly, his face full of confidence.

Mr. Zeng was speechless. This was the first time he had heard of this. However, he quickly reacted and looked at Mr. Chen with a teasing look. "I say, they have made a lot of money for us, but some people only give them a penny. Is that appropriate?"

"Now they are just waiting for money, and what they do is not for themselves, but for the construction of the revolution."

"Some people are so stingy, hehe."

Hearing what Mr. Zeng said, Mr. Chen's face suddenly turned red for no reason, but he recovered in an instant and said unhappily, "Stop being sarcastic and making indirect accusations here."

"I'm stingy? Go look at other departments. Which one has as much liquid funds as the ninth department?"

"Who doesn't tighten their belts to make a living?"

"Also, look at the current situation of the Ninth Department. How many people are watching it? The welfare of the workers alone is enough to make other factory departments envious."

"How will the other side view this? How will the other machine departments view this?"

“Some even proposed to emulate the Nine Departments, but is this realistic?”

Mr. Chen became more and more excited as he spoke. He was really pissed off by some brainless people at last year's annual meeting.

"The output value of a branch factory of the Nine Departments is higher than that of all the factories in a place just by exporting tractors and tricycles. The money it earns is even higher than the fiscal revenue of a city."

"If you want to be on par with the Ninth Department, then show us this achievement. Otherwise, where will you get the money to increase the welfare?"

After saying this, Mr. Chen picked up the water cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp. "It's not that I don't want to give the Ninth Department more support. I also know that if I give the Ninth Department one point of support, I can get ten points of profit in return."

"But, I can't. The Nine Departments are already at the top now. If I give them more, it's not caring, it's harming them."

At the end, there was a deep sense of helplessness in Mr. Chen's words.

At the same time, there is also an unspeakable resentment.

When did the revolutionaries start to become jealous?

After listening to this, Mr. Zeng just remained silent.

Perhaps one does not meddle in matters that are not one's business, and does not know the pain involved.

He just poured a cup of tea for Mr. Chen, calmed down his mood, and then said softly, "So, do you think they can do it this time?"

"This time, even the old guys from the Chinese Academy of Sciences retreated in the face of difficulties. They all hid inside and kept silent for the sake of self-preservation."

"Just leave it to them like this."

"I heard that many people are waiting to see them make a fool of themselves."

Old Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled and said, "Since ancient times, there have been few people who add icing on the cake, and many who take advantage of others' misfortunes. This is not uncommon."

"As for whether they can do it, I still have confidence in it."

Mr. Zeng didn't expect that Mr. Chen would not even consider it and trust Jiubu so much.

“Where does the confidence come from?”

Asking subconsciously, Mr. Chen smiled confidently, "Where did it come from? Of course it was given by my strength."

"Come, let me analyze it for you."

"I won't talk about the technical aspects. You won't understand even if I tell you. I'll just talk about the most important thing, the funding."

Then Mr. Chen began to analyze each industry of the nine departments.

"Look, among the commodities currently exported by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in addition to the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, there is also the Calculator Factory and the Red Star Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. These are the three industries that make the most money at the moment."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at the high-quality projects of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. Which one is not a treasure trove?"

"Let me tell you, the annual foreign exchange income from health products alone is more than 16 million US dollars."

"Now there is one more scalper insulin, and this number will double again by next year."

"You may not believe it, but if we give you any one of these three departments, the money it earns is enough to cover your annual budget."

Mr. Zeng's eyes widened. Due to special reasons, funding has always been a huge problem for their department, especially for overseas expansion, which requires real money to pave the way.

He naturally knew how much it cost.

I didn’t expect that one of the nine industries would have such strength.

Suddenly, he remembered that Lao Zhang seemed to have mentioned that he wanted to cooperate with the Ninth Department to manufacture airplanes.

No wonder.

If there was such an opportunity, he would be willing to do it.
