Chapter 3303 Let me see your sincerity
I sat in Mr. Chen's office for a while and took the opportunity to give a brief report on recent events.
At the same time, I also learned about the situation abroad from Li Rong.
I learned quite a few interesting things while doing this.
"The Alliance has made preparations for the moon landing. It was originally scheduled to start in June, but it seems that it was called off at the last minute. They are currently doing final checks, so it will probably take place either this month or next month!"
"However, news has come out that there is a problem with the computer they are using!"
Li Rong sipped her tea leisurely and said, "This is all just hearsay. If you're interested, you can call the Internal Affairs Department; they know the details."
Yang Xiaotao shook his head after hearing this, "No need for that, I'm just listening for fun."
Old Chen glanced at Yang Xiaotao, then said, "Don't always take this as a joke. If they actually went to the moon, who knows what the international situation would be like?"
"Furthermore, things are bound to get turbulent again domestically, so don't take it lightly!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, but then he thought that in later generations, only the people of the United States had successfully landed on the moon, and the last time they went was three years ago. In the past two days, the United States had been calling for more moon landings, but there had been no actual action.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao asked, "Does the United States have any follow-up lunar landing plans?"
After listening, Old Chen looked at Li Rong, who pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "I really haven't heard of any concrete actions."
"Previously, only news of follow-up lunar landing plans was reported; nothing else was known!"
After saying that, he looked at Yang Xiaotao and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the problem?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head. "It's just that it feels strange that the United States suddenly went up so much in the past few years, and then suddenly there's been no movement."
After listening to Yang Xiaotao, Old Chen looked at him thoughtfully and then said, "Then analyze whether the United States will continue to land on the moon?"
Yang Xiaotao was taken aback, as were Li Rong and Liu Lixue, who were also surprised by Old Chen's abrupt question.
Seeing that Old Chen wasn't joking, Yang Xiaotao also fell into deep thought.
Connecting the dots and considering the "Star Wars" program in another timeline, Yang Xiaotao said this time, "I think that as long as the Alliance doesn't go there, the United States won't continue!"
"But once the alliance really takes off, the United States will definitely not sit idly by."
"What's the basis for your judgment?"
Old Chen looked serious, but inwardly he was shocked by Yang Xiaotao's judgment.
Because, after combining various intelligence information, they also came to this conclusion.
Yang Xiaotao didn't notice the change in Chen Lao's expression, but Li Rong, who was standing next to him, sensed the difference in Chen Lao's attitude.
Her years of familiarity with him made her immediately realize that what Yang Xiaotao was about to say was likely related to strategy.
Thinking this, Li Rong's expression became serious, and Liu Lixue also became cautious.
At this point, Yang Xiaotao said again, "There aren't many bases, just two!"
"First, the United States will not watch the alliance grow stronger. The two sides have already fought to this point, and it's not a matter of one side taking a step back to open up a new world."
"At this point, whoever retreats first will face an abyss. Therefore, the United States will not allow the Alliance to develop. Once the Alliance lands on the moon, the United States' lead will be shortened, and the sense of crisis will return!"
"Therefore, a new round of Star Wars will inevitably continue, and may even be more brutal!"
Old Chen nodded silently, agreeing with their views on this point.
"As for why the United States doesn't go directly to the moon now, it's probably because they have the will but not the ability!"
Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed and said, "At the very least, they don't want to continue investing in this area until the Alliance successfully lands on the moon!"
"why?"
Li Rong asked the question, and Yang Xiaotao replied directly, "Because they are also under a lot of pressure!"
"Economically, politically, militarily, and in factional struggles within them, etc."
"Moreover, this pressure doesn't just come from the alliance; we also deserve some credit for it!"
Upon hearing this, the people present instantly understood what was going on.
As China continues to rise and gradually gains a foothold in the international arena, its voice and influence are also increasing.
The pressure, especially in the technology sector, is gradually replacing the alliance's position.
Among these developments, the emergence of electronic computers and the existence of computers posed a particular challenge to the United States.
It should be noted that the United States has always been ahead of the Union in the field of precision instruments.
But now, the rapid rise of China has made them feel threatened.
In particular, China's potential is being tapped step by step, and the terrifying advantage of the whole country being united and concentrating resources to fight to the death is something that the United States does not possess!
Similarly, there is its increasingly powerful military strength.
Airplanes, tanks, missiles, nuclear submarines, and even the rumored nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
Although it hasn't been officially confirmed, the carrier-based aircraft have already been developed, so what's the intention behind it?
Under such circumstances, even the United States, as the dominant power, needs to be cautious.
If the second and third brothers cooperate, his position as the eldest brother will be in serious trouble!
"So what should we do?"
Liu Lixue suddenly spoke up and asked a question, and Yang Xiaotao and Old Chen looked over together.
Instantly, Liu Lixue's cheeks flushed; this was definitely not the place for her to speak.
Old Chen didn't speak, but looked at Yang Xiaotao and casually waved his hand, meaning that since it was his people asking the question, he was responsible for answering it.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao simply shook his head, "We don't need to do anything."
"They do their thing, we do ours."
"As long as we develop and become strong, we won't have to do anything; they will all have to put us in the right place."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he ignored Liu Lixue and looked at Old Chen, "Leader, we still need to pay more attention to the alliance, especially the member states related to the natural gas pipeline."
Old Chen nodded. "This work has already begun. Don't worry."
"Keep an eye on this matter in Britain. I heard that girl from Hong Kong is here too, so be careful."
Yang Xiaotao looked bewildered. "Boss, what should I be careful about?"
Li Rong smiled with her head down, and Liu Lixue, who was next to her, seemed to have thought of something and also laughed.
Old Chen glared at him, "I told you to be careful, so be careful. Don't cause any international problems, understand?"
Yang Xiaotao was still confused. "Boss, please don't speak so ambiguously. I really don't understand."
If you don't understand, go home and think about it.
Old Chen waved his hand to dismiss Yang Xiaotao.
Even after leaving the office, Yang Xiaotao still didn't understand what Old Chen meant.
In the car, Liu Lixue noticed Yang Xiaotao was lost in thought, so she took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Yang, what do you think will happen if they all land on the moon?"
Yang Xiaotao leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, and said, "I'll just get on then."
"Besides, the moon isn't the only one; there's Mars after that."
"I guess they'll run to Mars then."
Yang Xiaotao spoke casually, but Liu Lixue's eyes lit up upon hearing it.
"Mr. Yang, do you think there are aliens on Mars?"
"There's nothing on the moon, but Mars is much bigger. There should be people in such a big place."
"Mr. Yang, could this be considered an alien?"
"Nobody's here."
Ignoring Liu Lixue's expression, Yang Xiaotao abruptly ended the conversation, still pondering the meaning behind Old Chen's words.
When the car returned to the Ninth Division, Yang Xiaotao, who had been pondering the matter the entire way, still couldn't figure it out. He simply stopped racking his brains and went straight to the research institute, immersing himself in the computer research department. The Jiaoyang computer had been on the market for over a month, and sales had already exceeded two million units. At this rate, it was time to speed up the development of the upgraded Chinese operating system.
Just as Yang Xiaotao returned to the Ninth Division, Hathaway also arrived at her residence. As soon as she entered, she couldn't wait to pick up the satellite phone and call Howard in Hong Kong.
"Brother, I met with the person in charge here today."
Hathaway didn't stand on ceremony with Howard and went straight to explaining the situation that day.
The person on the other end of the phone sounded like they were working, but there was a series of slapping sounds coming from their voice, which made Hathaway's imagination run wild, while also leaving her somewhat speechless.
It's only a few o'clock.
Besides, is your health still good at your age?
Howard, on the other end of the phone, got up, left the computer room, and went to the balcony, saying, "I can tell from your voice that things aren't going well."
Hathaway took a deep breath and said, "At the beginning, I had a very good conversation with Mr. Chen and Ms. Li, and our conversation went very smoothly."
"But then, things changed after Yang Xiaotao, the one you told me to keep an eye on, came."
"Oh, what did he say?"
He said they didn't use anything from the pigs.
After a long silence on the phone, Howard suddenly burst into laughter.
"Big brother!"
Hathaway was a little angry. She had called him for advice, and now he was mocking her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Howard apologized repeatedly, then took a deep breath and said, "Hathaway, this is normal."
“This isn’t child’s play. It’s not like you can just say whatever you want and expect them to agree to it. Especially if the other party is in this position, and you can persuade them with just a few words, then maybe the world really would be at peace.”
Howard leaned against the railing, the sea breeze blowing, his voice filled with helplessness.
The Hong Kong issue has been troubling him ever since he arrived here.
In particular, Hong Kong's achievements in recent years stand in stark contrast to the stagnation in mainland China.
Therefore, some people in China are already clamoring to own it forever, so that they will have a stable source of income.
But in his view, this was simply wishful thinking.
Putting aside everything else, just considering the military development over the years, nowadays not only Britain, but even the United States wouldn't dare to easily approach the other side's coastline.
Why has Annam in the south been able to entangle itself with the United States for so many years?
On the surface, the alliance is providing support, but in reality, the weapons and ammunition are all being sent from the north.
Moreover, the weapons sent over were stronger and more numerous with each passing year.
He even felt that if the other side wanted to take it down, they wouldn't even need to mobilize the forces from the north; they could simply send a small team to Taiping Mountain.
Moreover, Hong Kong's rapid development was also due to the support it received from the other side.
Otherwise, this is just a small bay; do you really think you can raise a real dragon here?
Furthermore, Hong Kong is not a monolithic entity.
At the very least, he knew that many people from the mainland were establishing themselves in Hong Kong and had already begun to achieve success in the economic and cultural spheres.
It is expected that political action will be launched soon as well.
These are all things that are giving Howard a headache.
"Okay, I underestimated things."
"You, Mr. Howard, so wise and intelligent, please tell me what to do next?"
Hathaway had no better options than to turn to Howard for help.
Howard snapped out of his daze and then said solemnly, "Since we're asking for your help, we should be prepared to get ripped off."
"So instead of being led by the nose, we should take the initiative and let them see our sincerity."
"Sincerity?"
Hathaway chewed on the word, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"However, the family's opinion is to strive for the greatest possible benefit."
Hi, Hathaway!
Howard interrupted him directly, and then said solemnly, "Don't pay attention to those old men."
"If you still want to complete the mission, if you still want to use this to gain influence within the family, then throw those damned old fogies aside!"
"Remember what I said: when dealing with them, you must use sincerity to earn their sincerity in return."
"Only in this way can you complete the task and achieve success."
Howard's voice was full of determination, and Hathaway remained silent.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Okay, I think I know what to do."
The two then hung up the phone.
Hathaway put the phone on the table, then walked to the window and looked at the scene outside, so different from Britain, pondering how to show her sincerity.
The next day, Hathaway requested to see Mr. Chen again and spent the entire morning in his office.
Yang Xiaotao was not present this time, so their conversation went very smoothly.
However, it was only a smooth process; Mr. Chen did not give a definite answer.
However, Hathaway's sincerity pleased Mr. Chen greatly.
That's a very sensible reaction from them.
After Hathaway left, Old Chen called Yang Xiaotao.
"Boss, what did they say?"
Yang Xiaotao tilted his head, holding the phone between his fingers, while reviewing documents with a pen.
"She changed her approach this time."
Old Chen laughed heartily, "We're playing the friendship card. Based on our cooperative relationship, we've decided to provide a batch of chemical equipment to help us expand our production scale."
"Of course, they also suggested increasing the quantity purchased."
Old Chen recounted his conversation with Hathaway, and then concluded by saying, "I think she has understood what we mean."
"Try to find some time to talk to Comrade Li Rong."
"No matter what, they are guests from afar, and they even brought us gifts. We can't make things difficult for them."
Yang Xiaotao nodded and said, "Understood. I will have someone send you the list tomorrow. If you agree, we can discuss it according to this."
"List, you better watch your men, don't scare them away."
Upon hearing the word "list," Old Chen's forehead immediately creased with disbelief. This guy was trying to rob the rich!
"Don't worry, this little bit is just a drop in the ocean for them."
"If you can't even meet this small request, then you're really not being sincere."
Yang Xiaotao put down his pen and said dismissively. Old Chen was speechless, but finally reminded him, "Watch your manner of speaking, don't act like a bandit."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Yang Xiaotao also put down the phone, then shook his head inexplicably, "What do you mean by being like a bandit? I'm a very kind person, okay?"
"Right, Xiaoxue?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Lixue quickly lowered her head and nodded vigorously, "Yes, that's right, very kind."
But in my mind, I was thinking about the scene at the security department's training ground. They were so kind and gentle.
