Chapter 891 Returning to China and the Undersea View Room
In the Pacific Ocean, under the seemingly calm sea surface is an undercurrent of imminent danger.
The headquarters of the US Pacific Fleet is closely monitoring the situation and movements of the two US tankers.
"Zizi... This is the industrial tanker, is there anyone, has anyone heard it?" The sudden sound mixed with electric current caused the entire command post to boil.
"This is Pacific Fleet Command, Industrial, I can hear you." The correspondent's reply was quickly answered.
"Thank goodness, I finally got in touch with you guys...we are out of Japanese control and are currently..."
The coordinates of the Industrial soon reached the commander-in-chief, and then sent to Washington.
Soon, a fully equipped aircraft carrier formation set off to the coordinates, and they had to reach their destination before the Japanese caught up with the two tankers again.
"The Industrial has escaped the control of the Japanese, and they are on their way back." Upon hearing the news, Li Zitao's expression was full of surprise.
Even he didn't expect that the industrial number could save the day by itself.
The specific details will not be known until the return of the Industrial and Green, but at least they are now known to be safe.
The aircraft carrier formation sent by the Pacific Fleet has safely received two oil tankers, and they will return home safely soon.
It's a pity that it's been a long time since I got home.
At least until the Washington ban is resolved, they will all berth at the port and cannot go to sea.
Mobil is still negotiating with Washington. This restriction is undoubtedly unfair and fatal for a company with global operations.
This will affect the company's profitability, including their own pocket income.
Li Zitao had personally spoken to Roosevelt after he finished his fireside chat with his growing influence.
However, Roosevelt once again stated that he could do nothing about it.
"Roosevelt, we are friends, but a friend who always wants to take but doesn't know how to give will eventually lose everyone's love."
This time, Li Zitao did not end the topic easily. In fact, after saying this sentence, he used a very rough movement to slap the phone on the microphone buckle again.
Presumably Roosevelt will be depressed for a long time about this, and I hope he will not sleep until dawn tonight.
Li Zitao naturally understands the enormous pressure he is under, but that doesn't mean he has to understand every time.
Once, twice, three times...
For the sake of his friends...and the president, he can make some compromises and share some of the pressure for him.
But it can't be him every time, it's like a routine, and it doesn't feel right.
Li Zitao, who expresses his dissatisfaction with this, is not sure what effect he can achieve.
But his counterattack didn't stop there.
The most obvious sign is that the prices of all the arms under his banner have increased by 30%.
This is only the initial stage. If there is no response from Washington, this increase will increase to 50%.
Raw materials are increasing in price, labor is increasing in price, and even the price of women on the street has tripled. Why can't they be the only ones who can't increase their prices?
You must know that the various products currently provided by the skunk are in short supply not only in the United States, but also in the Union, and almost in the global market.
If it wasn't for the skunks to cooperate with the US government to strictly control the flow of products, they could obtain dozens of times the current profits in other ways.
There is no doubt about it.
You must know that on the black market, the price of a 'Lightning' model fighter plane is close to 900,000, which is 8 times the original price.
Moreover, there is a price but no market.
"Boss, there is news from Mobil that the two tankers have arrived at the port safely, and the crew members can go home after being investigated." Tia brought him the first good news.
"Very good, I want to meet the monk as soon as possible, please let them hurry up?" Li Zitao was impatient to wait for their so-called investigation.
"I will communicate with them as soon as possible." Tia nodded and took this matter down.
In fact, the so-called investigation is just a formality.
Preventing an unknown danger from occurring is more preventive than practical.
But it is one of the necessary links.
However, it is another result for someone to say hello.
After Tia called in person, the monk and his party of six were released on the spot, and were sent on the plane to New York by the other party.
Zhao Si was also on the plane, and his temporary identity was the technical consultant of the cruise ship.
The status of three times a day makes Lao Zhao feel like he is living in a movie. Fortunately, this matter is coming to an end.
After arriving in New York, Lao Zhao didn't follow the monk to the apartment, but got into another car directly to the suburbs.
The purpose of his coming here is to obtain a precious raw material, and by the way, there are some data that need to be communicated with certain people.
This is related to the confidential project that he is currently leading the research and development. From the beginning to the end, Li Zitao will not meet with him, and there will be no intersection between the two.
Li Zitao never knew that he came to the United States, let alone how he got here, and how he should leave. This has nothing to do with him.
He only knows that the 'Fat Boy' project is progressing well, and it seems that there are new results coming out recently.
"Monk." In order to express his importance to him, Li Zitao greeted him personally at the door of the apartment.
"Boss... Long time no see." The monk was also very excited to set foot on the land of America again.
Because it meant that he could finally see his wife and son.
Even though he has suffered countless discrimination and oppression here, the monk has to admit that this place has become his home.
Because everything he knows, cares about and cherishes is here.
"Welcome home." Hugging him and patting him hard, Li Zitao smiled with relief at his tough body and lines: "It's good to be back."
"I just want a bowl of mixed sauce noodles, preferably with a glass of real whiskey, those wines that have been mixed with water are like horse urine." The monk said with a laugh.
"It's all prepared for you, the chef of Jinjiang Hotel, and a whole layer of wine, you can choose whatever you want."
Greeting everyone to enter, the luxury of the apartment stunned everyone who thought they were mentally prepared.
Especially after seeing the 'fish tank' that occupies the entire floor, tiger sharks and whales are kept in it, and I can't close my jaw when I stand on the viewing platform.
"Keeping sharks in your own home, boss, aren't you being too self-willed?" When he sat down to eat, the monk was still surprised by this incident.
"It's nothing." Li Zitao said with a light smile, "How about I invite you to live in Honolulu's underwater hotel for a month after it's built?"
"Undersea Hotel?" The monk asked quite interested.
"Yes, direct the seawater to the ground, and create a natural cave passage to connect it to the sea, and put some sharks, starfish, and seahorses."
"Transplant another piece of natural coral, but we have to wait." Li Zitao patted him on the shoulder.
This is not a small project. It is initially estimated that it will take 5 years, and it will take about 10 years for the final completion.
Li Zitao needs to spend enough time and patience to create a unique underwater view room in the world.
