Therefore, even if Li Jiandong could develop it, he might not actually be able to afford it.

There is no problem in developing this equipment, but the problem is.

Once you have developed the equipment, you have to use it.

You can't just put it there and watch it.

Once you start moving, you need to invest continuously.

Without some money, do you think you can afford it?

This is what Li Jiandong is worried about.

So, this time, when the ugly country said it wanted to help the big country modify 7 types of aircraft, Li Jiandong was actually not worried.

This was also the case in the original history.

Besides, this plane is not a very advanced thing.

To be honest, you should just watch it.

Anyway, there are more advanced ones, but Li Jiandong also hopes that this time the leader can take this matter into consideration.

It is understandable that this ugly country is wholeheartedly seeking the death of the great country.

If it weren't for the tremendous pressure from the Russian bear in the north, it would be impossible for our country to establish diplomatic relations with a big country.

When he arrived at the laboratory, Li Jiandong opened the system drawing and took a look.

Now 10, 11, 15, and these key models except.

The others have already accumulated enough experience and can be directly upgraded and developed at any time.

This is definitely great news for the air forces of major countries.

However, the annual maintenance cost of these equipments is at least calculated in billions.

Nowadays, the foreign exchange income of major countries is only tens of billions or hundreds of billions a year.

It is simply a pipe dream to want to maintain such a large air force.

Not to mention the navy and the army.

Not to mention the peasants in the army.

The navy is a real money-eating beast. How can they survive with less money?
Looking at these, Li Jiandong couldn't help but sigh.

“We still have to do foreign trade.”

After saying that, Li Jiandong called the big boss and wanted to meet him.

……

"Comrade Jiandong, are you saying that these 7 types of aircraft were bought by the ugly Chinese who wanted to spy on the secrets of our great country?" The leader looked a little strange.

Li Jiandong nodded: "That's for sure, but the leader doesn't care."

"We already have the latest model of aircraft, and they are much more advanced than those of the Ugly Country."

Hearing this, the leader said excitedly: "Then Comrade Jiandong, why don't you develop it?"

"You also know that we are in a period of transition now. Sometimes stability is also very important."

"With these new equipment, the Ugly Country won't dare to do anything to us."

Seeing the leader say this, Li Jiandong said helplessly,

"Boss, this is why I came to see you."

"It's because we have no money, Joe."

After this was said, the big boss lost his temper.

Yes, a penny can make a hero fall.

"Comrade Jiandong, the lack of money is a consensus across the country."

"You know this, but it's no use telling me." The leader said helplessly.

Li Jiandong said: "Boss, this is our chance."

"Opportunity?" The big boss looked at him curiously.

Li Jiandong said: "Hasn't the senior leader already started to develop the economic zone?"

"Yes, it has just been planned. It was planned a long time ago."

"That's it, but we can't just plan one, we have to make use of all the demons."

"The imperial capital should also be utilized to attract investment and development."

"Although there will be some problems in the process, as long as the general direction is correct."

"Let the people be patient for now. Making money is the top priority."

"Then we will try to bring in foreign factories and transfer the industrial chain to us."

"I have planned before, our development will be divided into three steps."

"The first step is to actively enter the international industrial chain order and first take over the low-end industrial chain of developed countries in Europe and the United States."

"Low-end industrial chain?"

The big boss frowned, as if he didn't think it was a good word.

Li Jiandong explained: "The low-end industrial chain is like making clothes, shoes, etc."

"Through OEM, we can provide daily necessities to developed countries in Europe and America, earn foreign exchange, and ensure our employment."

“This phase will take at least twenty years.”

"Then after twenty years of accumulation, it should be around 230000, and we will go all out to sprint to the mid-range industry."

“We will use the wealth accumulated over the past 20 years to find ways to strengthen our own business.”

"We will use these companies to find ways to impact the high-end industrial chain and eventually reach a stage where we can take up a share of the global market."

"It doesn't make sense that the Ugly Country can live a good life, but we can't." Li Jiandong said directly.

The big boss was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "Jiandong, are you sure this will work?"

"Yes, the big plane is about to come off the production line, and we will definitely be able to fix it."

"Moreover, some of the products produced by our other industrial chains have already started to be exported."

"Isn't this the best proof that we are poor now?"

"If you want to develop the entire industry chain, you definitely don't have that much money. Large aircraft and Internet satellites are used to make money."

"At the same time, I led my colleagues from the research institute to conduct weapons research and development and open up a trade route for the great country."

"Under such circumstances, our great country can make money in three steps: large aircraft, Internet satellites and gunpowder trade."

“It took at least 2010 years to accumulate wealth, so it was around .”

"That's when we developed and gunpowder weapons exploded."

"With great accumulation, success will come soon." Li Jiandong said cheerfully.

There was indeed nothing wrong with Li Jiandong's plan, and it even made sense.

This made the big leaders couldn't help but clap their hands.

"You're right. This protection is really good."

"Jiandong, is it really possible?" The big boss is also a human being.

Faced with something that could influence the fate of the country, he himself did not dare to agree to it rashly.

If something really goes wrong in the middle, it will be irreparable.

"Don't worry, big boss. This will definitely work."

"Jiandong." The big boss sighed: "You also said that the Ugly Country will not let us develop so peacefully."

"We are not stupid. This time we will modify the Model 7 aircraft for the Ugly Country."

"I also know that this is not right, but this is also to allow the Ugly Country to give us the green light and allow us to smoothly reform."

"You said that there are capable people in the Ugly Country. Can they just sit back and watch us develop without doing anything?" said the leader.
Hearing this, Li Jiandong said happily: "Big leader."

“All great events in the world should be carried out in accordance with the time. It’s not that they are not happening, but that the time has not come yet.”

"This ugly country will not let us develop properly, but this ugly country has also committed many evils."

"In the future, he will definitely have no time to take care of us."

"Besides, this northern bear is putting pressure on us."

"But we have to hurry. The leader of this Russian bear is a bit crazy now."

"I think in a few years at most, the entire Russian bear will disintegrate."

"The Cold War is about to have a winner." Li Jiandong said with a sigh.

"What?" The big boss looked at Li Jiandong in disbelief.

It’s not that the top leaders don’t trust Li Jiandong, but that the Russian bear of this era still has the afterglow of the alliance.

Just two years ago, the Russian bear held military exercises.

Such a wooly bear is so powerful.

In order to resist the pressure from the Russian bear, the big country even deployed millions of troops on the northern border.

But then you turn around and say that the Russian bear only has a few years left.

No one can accept this.

"Big boss, please analyze the specific situation. I have no way to tell you."

"In short, don't worry, great leader. If a great country wants to develop, it must start from now on to take three economic steps as soon as possible."

"In recent years, the Russian bear has put pressure on us. The ugly country is determined to win us over."

"Once the Russian bear disintegrates, that will be the time for the ugly country to come and cause trouble for us."

"But it doesn't matter. There are still a group of people in the Middle East who are eyeing the Ugly Country."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I think those oil-producing countries will fight to the death with the Ugly Country."

"When the time comes, it will be time for us to make a fortune quietly." Li Jiandong said happily.

Although he didn't know why Li Jiandong was so confident, the leader couldn't help but nodded when he saw Li Jiandong like this: "Okay, I believe you."

"I don't know why, Li Jiandong, but I think there's nothing wrong with what you said."

"Anyway, with you here, I feel assured about the scientific research of our great country," said the leader.

Li Jiandong then told him the purpose of his visit: "The big leader."

"I need you to allocate a piece of land in the suburbs of Sijiu City for me to do secret weapon experiments."

"These weapons are specifically used for foreign trade." Li Jiandong smiled mysteriously: "Of course, they are also used to develop weapons that can destroy the Ugly Country."

If someone else said this, the boss would call him a lunatic.

But since it came from Li Jiandong's mouth, the big leaders dared not ignore it.

"Okay, Comrade Jiandong, go and see which place you want."

"I found it. If you are satisfied, just write a report and it will be approved immediately."

"Thank you, great leader."

After leaving the boss's office, Li Jiandong immediately returned to the steel mill to find his apprentices.

But recently, because they are too busy, Sha Zhu, Jia Dongxu and others are not here.

Only Xu Damao was there.

When he heard that his master was going to build a laboratory in the suburbs, Xu Damao happily followed him around.

He took Xu Damao to the outskirts of Sijiu City and looked around at the surrounding land.

Not to mention, these places are quite suitable as laboratories.

After looking for a long time, Li Jiandong finally found a relatively hidden place.

"Xu Damao, remember that part of our laboratory will be built here in the future."

"Master, what are you doing? Do you have a secret weapon?" Xu Damao asked curiously.

"Master has many secret weapons, you have memorized them now."

"This area will be kept strictly confidential from now on. All of you should follow Master when the time comes."

"We have to find a way to use the equipment here to earn excess profits for our country, okay?"

"Master, you are really obsessed with the gunpowder business."

"It makes money, it's not shabby."

Li Jiandong put a note on the land he was going to use.

Soon, the approval document was issued.

Since it is land requisitioned by the state, it will naturally be implemented quickly.

Li Jiandong then directed the engineering team to start construction around the area.

Anyway, there is only one goal, which is to build the laboratory as quickly as possible.

On the other hand, several buyers who had previously looked to big countries for weapons came to big countries again this time.

Li Jiandong once again served as the leader and began to happily discuss the transaction with these buyers.

During the conversation, Li Jiandong even spoke frankly.

"As long as you buy this batch of weapons from us, we can guarantee to get you some other good stuff."

"You mean as long as we buy these things, you will also give us other things?" Several big customers were very surprised.

I didn't expect that you could do business this way, buy one get one free.

Li Jiandong nodded happily: "I invited you here just for this matter."

"This time we plan to provide you with weapons in batches. I remember you seem to have a great demand for them."

"It's just that your demand is great, and we hope you can buy more."

"Our gunpowder company is open 24 hours a day," said Li Jiandong.

After hearing this, several big dog owners also thought about it.

"Tell me the truth, Mr. Li, you know about buying gunpowder."

"We are not just buying weapons. We are not just buying weapons for you. We are also buying weapons for the Ugly Country."

"The main purpose is to buy weapons for the ugly country, but why buy them for the ugly country? I think Mr. Li should understand the reason better than us."

Li Jiandong nodded: "Of course I know about this matter, the main thing is to buy peace of mind."

"Yes, that's why we have no problem buying your weapons, but how much can you guarantee our safety?"

"As for this, you can rest assured. The firecrackers I gave you before are enough to ensure your safety."

"As for the subsequent security, we will definitely provide it when our strength improves."

"But right now we really don't have the power to protect your safety, so you might consider buying less."

"But you can rest assured that in a few years, you will not regret your decision," Li Jiandong said with a smile.

First tie up the big dog owner and try to make some good business.

At least it would be good if it could help big countries earn more offshore.

Both parties got what they wanted and soon reached an agreement on this cooperation.
After reaching an agreement on cooperation with the big dog owner, Li Jiandong ordered several military factories to work overtime together with the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

This time, the weapon that Li Jiandong gave to Gou Da Hu was an upgraded version of the foreign trade version.

It is much better than the foreign trade version, but slightly worse for personal use.

However, at least the after-sales service is guaranteed.

This is one of the reasons why big dog owners are willing to do business with big countries.

Reasonable price and first-class after-sales service

This is serious hardcore behavior anywhere in the world.

After finishing all these things, about seven or eight days had passed.

Li Jiandong saw that he had not been home for some time.

As soon as I got home, Qin Huairu complained about me.

Li Jiandong took a long time to coax her into submission.

After coaxing her, Qin Huairu said, "A few days ago, our eldest son sent us some things from Mazu."

"Would you like to take a look?"

Li Jiandong was curious because his eldest son was doing business in Mazu and had recently obtained a license.

He suddenly sent something back, could it be something good?

"Take it and take a look."

Qin Huairu then stood up and brought over a box.

All I saw was an antique box.

The box is a rectangle, but not too big.

Li Jiandong took the box and looked at it carefully, only to see a jade unicorn inside.

"Jade Unicorn." Li Jiandong was a little surprised.

"My son said he bought it from a local collector in Australia."

"It is said that it was stolen by the Eight-Nation Alliance."

Li Jiandong also hurriedly looked at it carefully.

Through his identification skills, Li Jiandong determined that this thing was a real jade unicorn.

Through identification skills, Li Jiandong confirmed that this was Tang Yu Qilin.

This quality of Tang Dynasty jade Qilin is really rare.

At least there is nothing to complain about the value.

Seeing Li Jiandong exclaiming, Qin Huairu asked curiously, "Old Li, is this thing valuable?"

"This is not a question of whether it is valuable or not. Do you know what era this item is from?" Li Jiandong looked at Qin Huairu.

"do not know."

Qin Huairu was originally a rural woman who didn't know many words, so naturally she didn't know the value of this thing.

Li Jiandong said: "This is something from the Tang Dynasty, more than a thousand years ago."

"Most importantly, good things like this are priceless."

"I didn't expect my son to get it. I'll give him a call."

"Ask if there are any left. If there are, make sure to get them back."

"Then hand it in." Li Jiandong said.

Qin Huairu was not clear about Li Jiandong's motives and thoughts.

But she has followed Li Jiandong all her life and listened to Li Jiandong.

Naturally, everything was done according to what Li Jiandong said.

After Li Jiandong put Tang Yuqilin away, he immediately called his eldest son.

On the phone, the eldest son also told Li Jiandong about the recent events in Mazu and several cultural relics dealers.

Li Jiandong became interested when he heard this: "Son, take a good look at those cultural relics."

"If you have anything good, try to get it back no matter how much it costs."

"Dad, some of these cultural relics are too valuable. We may not be able to afford them."

The eldest son’s worries were not in vain.

Li Jiandong also knew what his eldest son was thinking.

But now that the cultural relics have appeared, there is no reason not to bring them back (end of this chapter)
