Chapter 382 Don't Give the General Face

The departure time of Gulfstream One was 3 hours later than expected, and the details about the Scepter of Xianxi were also finalized.

Schiaparelli-Dior said they will take care of everything, they are working with Cartier, which can help a lot.

Cartier, who is fascinated by making watches, has enough experience and patience in fine design.

"Where is the banquet arrangement?" Sitting on the sofa, Li Zitao asked about the upcoming itinerary.

"8 o'clock tonight, Waldorf Astoria Hotel." Tia flipped through the itinerary.

"Tomorrow." The itinerary back to the United States will be very full this time. Since he wants to surprise his fiancée with a wedding, he needs to make sure everything is on the right track.

"Meet with Tiffany's jewelry expert, George Frederick Kunz, at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss the final cutting process of the diamond ring."

"Go to Pioneer Technology at 2 p.m. to see Capet's new products."

"Check wedding invite list at 9pm."

After listening to what Tia said, Li Zitao stretched back on the sofa and said, "It seems that we are busy."

The plane landed at the New York airport on time, and Ava had been waiting for a long time.

She will be in charge of the next formation, and Tia will return to the Qinghua Building in Chicago to be responsible for the communication between the company and Li Zitao.

"Why do they suddenly want to hold a banquet?" Sitting in the car, Li Zitao still couldn't figure out why MacArthur held this banquet.

"Maybe they see potential in skunks." Ava handed him a document, with a weird smile on her face.

"This is..." Looking at the complicated design above, although Li Zitao didn't quite understand it, he still knew the words on it.

The results of the first test of the turbojet engine, did they really do it?

"Is this true?" Li Zitao asked in disbelief.

"Of course, but it's not mature enough, and it will take a lot of tweaking to actually implement it on an aircraft, Johnson said."

Ava doesn't know much about engines, but Johnson said that this is very important and will change the current development of the aviation industry.

So every word he said, Ava clearly remembered it in her heart.

"Very good." Clenching the document in his hand, Li Zitao roughly guessed what MacArthur wanted.

The car parked in front of the resplendent Waldorf Astoria Hotel, a 42-story luxury hotel located on Park Avenue and the world's first skyscraper hotel.

Since its completion in 31 years, it is also currently the largest and tallest hotel in the world.

"Thank you." Smiling to the waiter who opened the car door, Shen Dong put a $5 bill in the other's hand.

Now Shen Dong has become his full-time driver. With his strong anti-reconnaissance ability, he is more suitable for the job of driver.

Li Zitao did not give up the grove around him, but he didn't want to gossip about him and make Adelaide, who will become his official wife next month, lose his temper again, so his future itinerary needs to be more secretive.

"General MacArthur." As soon as he came to the banquet hall, Li Zitao saw MacArthur not far away.

Today's banquet is like an army club, except for the middle-level generals of the army, there are countless hot girls, interspersed with revealing clothes.

"Charlie, you are really punctual." Looking at the wall clock on the wall, MacArthur joked.

"Of course, haha..." Taking a glass of margarita from the waiter's tray, Li Zitao asked with a smile, "Maybe we should have some fun at the club."

The atmosphere at the scene was not so elegant, but more like a strip club.

Looking at the embarrassing expressions of the waiters, Li Zitao really didn't know how they turned a blind eye.

"Soldiers don't know how to be a gentleman. Thank you for your arrangement." MacArthur has no money to arrange all this.

"Tell me about you!" The two came to the corner side by side.

"The Ministry of Defense wants to reach a new cooperation with skunks, but there is one thing, they must accept their supervision.

"MacArthur put forward his conditions.

"That's impossible." Li Zitao put the empty wine glass on the table, pointed at the waiter not far away, and said with a blank expression, "Are they awake?"

"Charlie, this is your good opportunity. As long as you can satisfy them, the national defense license you want will be much simpler."

Before MacArthur came, he thought that he would refuse, but he also had something that Li Zitao was interested in.

Li Zitao's effort to obtain a national defense license is not an effort within the military.

But because of the comprehensive consideration of all aspects, his application was finally rejected. Presumably this condition will make him change his mind.

"I'm not so interested in national defense licenses anymore... People are always fickle, aren't they?" Toasting a surprised MacArthur, Li Zitao didn't seem to care about his conditions at all.

Li Zitao has done too many things like painting big cakes.

As soon as the other party said it, he knew that this was a castle in the air, unattainable, and it was completely used to fool him into being fooled.

After letting go of his obsession with the national defense license plate, he also clearly realized how much it would cost to achieve this.

His skin color is the biggest obstacle. Everyone will speculate whether he has other purposes, his racial inclinations, his care for his compatriots, and his layout in China.

The excessive number of employees in the three northeastern provinces, and the low commodity prices that hardly make money, this is not a business in anyone's eyes, but more like some kind of protection.

"Don't be like this, Charlie, although it won't allow you to get a license directly, it will at least bring you one step closer." MacArthur spread his hands and smiled.

"But I don't need that right now, someone will pay for the skunk's new technology, won't they?"

Li Zitao leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed and said leisurely.

"Well, what do you want?" MacArthur raised his hand with a wry smile, sat down and waited for his offer.

"Supervision is impossible. If you want to get technical support from skunks, why don't you help me win the latest order from the Navy?" Li Zitao said with a smile, as if he was joking.

"Navy, you know it's the Navy holiday period." MacArthur frowned and looked at him.

According to the Supplementary Treaty signed in London in 1930, the Navy has no possibility of expanding the naval tonnage in the next 4 years until 1936.

"But I know they plan to gradually replace the battleships, don't lie to me." Li Zitao is very clear about the "Washington Naval Treaty".

"That's a good distribution of benefits." MacArthur said helplessly.

"Then let them share the benefits. My shipyard needs new orders." So far, Li Zitao's shipyard has only his orders.

Oh, yes, there are new orders from CGT, but in the end it is his own money, and he needs to grab new profits from the current nautical market.

And now the only thing that can invest in the maritime industry is the government, which is a well-known piece of cake.

"Charlie, you can't touch other people's cakes. That's the rule. The skunk's turbo engine is only just being tested, and it will take a long time before it can be used."

MacArthur's face was a bit ugly, and Li Zitao's condition that he had no room for maneuver ruined the friendly atmosphere.

"Then wait for the British to pay for it, or France or Italy, I think they would like to be the test subjects."

What national defense license, now he understands that as long as someone has the technology that everyone desires, even the Ministry of National Defense will take the initiative to see his face.
