Chapter 686 Brigadier General Inspection Mission
The deal was watched by a think tank. Li Zitao stayed at home with peace of mind, accompanied his wife and son, and occasionally stayed overnight when Bergman and other women returned to Hollywood.
To say that the most memorable thing about Hollywood is the grove leading to Beverly Hills, a terraced stage of a manor on the right.
All the white pine trees were planted there, and Li Zitao remembered it very clearly, and he also left many good memories in it.
And Bergman, Vivien, Ava, all left traces of love.
"This tree has been hugged by countless goddesses. If fans know, they will definitely ask why they are not a tree."
In the white pine forest, Li Zitao pointed to a somewhat crooked white pine tree and said.
Marlene Dietrich leaned against the tree trunk with a cigarette in her hand, playing with the smell: "Shouldn't they find the man who bent the tree trunk first?"
"Why, he has never done anything wrong. These are just trades between you and me. Eating a banana is better than eating countless flavors, what do you think?"
Li Zitao sat on it with his hands on the tree trunk, watched her throw away the cigarette calmly, and came to him with an attitude and squatted down slowly.
...
...
In the middle of the month, the price of silver has risen, and the leverage fees and commissions alone are a lot of money every day.
The fluctuations during this period caused Li Zitao to lose a lot of money, about 4 million US dollars, but it is still within an acceptable range.
If you want to make money, you must first know how to give, and a beautiful knife will not fall from the sky for nothing.
The 8-person team formed by the company was responsible for this transaction, and Li Zitao left it to them.
To be honest, even if he really loses, Li Zitao has nothing to regret, but it's only 100 million, just a small goal!
As far as the assets in his hands are concerned, casually dumping some shares is enough for several generations to spend a lot of money everywhere.
On the 18th, the weather was good, and the cold current blowing from the Pacific Ocean made people wear thick winter clothes.
Li Zitao also changed into a black cashmere sweater, gray sweatpants with cashmere thermal pants, a coffee-colored overcoat, and a black cowboy hat on his head to go out.
Today he is going to Skunk to accompany the delegation from the UK to visit Skunk's Universiade and helicopter.
Thinking of the performance of the helicopter last time, Li Zitao hoped that it would be more competitive this time.
Now is the time to scramble for orders. Losing the chain at a critical moment means losing a lot of money, which will make him very sad.
Today, Ava and Tia are by his side. Last time, Bai Xue performed well. Li Zitao specially gave her half a month's leave, and went back to spend time with his mother and younger brother.
"Is there any movement on Morgan?" Apart from worrying about business matters, he is most concerned about the movements of Morgan and the FBI.
It seemed that neither of the two families was willing to let him go. The FBI had already made a move, but he blocked it. Morgan didn't respond.
"No." Ava shook her head.
"Continue to pay attention." Li Zitao felt a little uneasy when he was so introverted. Wouldn't Little Morgan hold back his energy and make a big move?
The convoy arrived at Skunk in half an hour, and the delegation hadn't arrived yet. Li Zitao and Kelly Johnson, who was in charge of the reception, chatted casually in the car.
"After the improvement and upgrade of SH-1a, the stability has been enhanced...but the outer armor has been weakened a bit seriously." Johnson's expression was awkward.
To describe it as serious is not enough to explain the situation of SH-1a.
The entire frame is actually covered with a layer of iron, which can be pierced with a pistol, and the survival rate on the battlefield is almost zero.
The design team is considering whether to shrink it as a whole to ensure its survival rate and safety and stability.
"During the demonstration, focus on firepower and mobility, and here they come." Seeing the Ford approaching on the road, Li Zitao pushed open the door and got out of the car.
"Brigadier General Hugh Dowding, welcome to the Skunk International Research and Development Center. I'm Charlie Lee." Li Zitao stepped forward and shook his hand.
"Your Excellency, I have heard your name many times, and it is my honor to meet you.
"Hugh Dowding smiled heartily.
At the critical moment, Li Zitao's aristocratic status was quite useful, which also made him feel more and more clever about his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Did she have already calculated that she would conflict with the royal family, so she won the title for him as soon as possible so that he would not be coerced by the royal family.
"Johnson, the person in charge of the R&D center." Li Zitao introduced Johnson beside him to the British brigadier general.
"Mr. Johnson, I'm looking forward to seeing the skunk's products, can we start now?" Dowding said directly.
"Of course, this way please." Invited Dowding to sit on the convertible Wrangler, Li Zitao sat beside him, and Johnson stood in the co-pilot, pointing to the two sides and walking while introducing.
When the car arrived at the airport behind, Dowding immediately stood up and looked at S-101 and SH-1a parked on the runway with bright eyes.
"S-101, a heavy transport aircraft, with a flight speed of 509 km/h, a maximum range of 3400 km, a self-weight of 33 tons, and a load of 40 tons.
The British MK main battle tank, this aircraft can transport 6 tanks at the same time, but they must be unloaded by manpower after landing. If you want to stick to the ground, you can also accommodate 3 tanks. "
For a combat brigadier general, Johnson did not falsify the data, which is Li Zitao's request. The reputation of the skunk is more important than money in his heart.
How much effort he has put in to get the skunk to where he is today, and he has waited for 5 years. If he gets a bad reputation, no one will ever look at him again.
"Where's its armor?" Dowding looked around S-101 with great interest.
"There is equivalent armor in the test field, maybe you should try it yourself." Johnson said, pointing to the test field in the hangar next to it.
When I came to the test site, there were several armor plates of different thicknesses inside, and two heavy machine guns were mounted a hundred meters away, with bullet chains already attached.
Dowding put his hand on the gun, looked at the armor plate not far away that was full of bullet holes, and personally operated the Browning heavy machine gun to shoot forward.
After the bullets were emptied, Dowding stepped forward to check the armor and found that only two bullets were about to penetrate the armor, which made him smile with satisfaction.
Then Dowding inquired and observed carefully about various detailed data, internal structure and operating system.
Before continuing to visit, Dawding couldn't help but want to place an order immediately.
"Brigadier General Dowding, this is our vertical flying machine. It can go up and down vertically. It is very convenient, highly maneuverable, and has certain attack capabilities..."
Coming to the helicopter, Johnson boldly invited Dowding to sit on it, and then went up to order the pilot to take off.
At this time, Li Zitao couldn't watch from below, so he sat on it.
The performance of SH-1a today is quite stable. Except for the initial shaking before lift-off, the rear is very brilliant. The forward-leaning dive and the threat of the machine gun to the ground have opened the eyes of Commodore Dowding.
After SH-1a landed, Dowding looked around at the huge R&D base and joked, "Charlie, I really want to pack this place up and ship it back to the British Empire."
