Chapter 1341 Who Is the Overall Situation?

Du Fei looked at Old Wu with a complicated expression.

Although the old man in front of him was here to "cause trouble" for him, he couldn't hate him when he saw the old man's appearance.

Old Wu had no selfish motives, he just didn't want to miss this opportunity, even though he knew that Youtai was not trustworthy, he still wanted to give it a try.

You know, this is not completely risk-free for Old Wu. Once he cooperates with Youtai as he said, he will be responsible for any situation in the future.

The old man was determined and even had a mentality of "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"

Despite this, Du Fei couldn't agree with this almost gambling method, because it was impossible to win in this way.

Maybe in the eyes of Old Wu, even if he couldn't win, as long as he could get some technology through negotiations in the early stage, it would be worth it, but in Du Fei's eyes, as long as he didn't win, he would lose, and there was no middle term.

Du Fei also said seriously: "Mr. Wu, I respect your character and courage, but are you sure those cunning Youtai people will give us the technology? Even if they give it, they will definitely leave a backdoor or poison pill. We are the weaker party in technology, and even if they do something, it will be difficult to find out in a short time. What should we do if they turn against us after they get through this difficult time?"

"This..." Mr. Wu was silent, but his eyes were still firm. After a moment, he said: "Comrade Du Fei, I know it's not easy for you here. The transaction volume with the Middle East should be not small, but things have priorities, and we still have to put the overall situation first!"

After listening, Du Fei couldn't help but frowned and looked at Director Wang next to him.

Director Wang was also a smart person. He frowned when he heard something wrong.

Du Fei looked at Mr. Wu again: "You said to put the overall situation first, and I agree with this."

Mr. Wu thought he had persuaded Du Fei, and was about to speak up.

Du Fei's next words made his expression stagnate.

Du Fei continued, "Mr. Wu, I don't like what I said. Please don't bother with a young man like me. It's true that the overall situation is important, but who is the overall situation?"

The middle-aged man with Mr. Wu changed his face slightly and wanted to take the opportunity to interrupt. Du Fei glared at him, which made him hesitate for half a second.

Du Fei raised his voice and started to speak: "Do you know how many weapons I sold to Jieji last time? How much are they worth?"

Mr. Wu was stunned, obviously he didn't know.

Du Fei was more certain that this old man was being used as a gun by someone.

As for who used him, ordinary people certainly don't have this ability. Only the most trusted people around can use close relationships to do this.

Without Mr. Wu speaking, Du Fei asked himself and answered: "One hundred and thirty million, US dollars!" Du Fei deliberately paused before saying the currency unit.

Mr. Wu was surprised. He only knew that he had sold some tanks and rocket launchers before. He had sold them before, but they were not worth much.

I didn't expect that there were so many, and they were still US dollars!

This made him suddenly feel bad.

This feeling is not because he is afraid of being slapped in the face by Du Fei. At his age, he no longer cares about the emotional disputes of his youth.

What makes him feel bad is that there may be something wrong with the people around him.

Although Mr. Wu is old, his thinking is still very agile and his reaction is quite fast.

Especially when Du Fei glared at the middle-aged man next to him just now, what does this mean?

Regardless of what he thought, Du Fei continued: "Not counting the past orders, this time, Colonel Ka of Libya has ordered another 20 gunships, a total of 200 million US dollars!"

Du Fei emphasized the US dollar for the second time and continued: "There is also the Kingdom of Babylon, which is also a Middle Eastern fruit family. It has ordered six H-7s, each for 50 million US dollars. Here is another 300 million, still in US dollars!"

In fact, the order from Sadamu is just an intention and has not been finalized, but there is nothing wrong with saying it here.

Du Fei can't say he is wrong for trying to collect chicken feathers to make a duster.

Mr. Wu's face became even uglier. He knew that he had stepped into a pit this time. Just now, he had a big face to tell others that "the overall situation is important".

As a result, they calculated that this was 600 to 700 million US dollars. If converted into RMB, according to the official exchange rate, this would be more than 2 billion.

In fact, his idea was not wrong. In the current economic environment, technology is more important than money for the planned economy in China.

But everything must be viewed dialectically. Water can put out fire, but if the fire is too big, it can also evaporate the water.

Although technology is more important than money, if there is too much money, it can also crush it back.

600 to 700 million US dollars is really too much!

At least for now, no one in China dares to say that so much foreign exchange is not important. If someone dares to say so, Mr. Wu will go up first and give him a big pocket without anyone saying anything.

When Mr. Wu came, he did not intend to take advantage of his seniority and force Du Fei to admit this matter anyway.

But he is not a pedantic old scholar. After hearing Du Fei show him the data, he immediately realized that this matter was wrong.

This time, not only did he kick the iron plate, but there might be problems with the people around him.

Old Wu had nothing to lose face for. After realizing the problem, he immediately changed his expression and said like an old child: "Boy, did you really sell so much foreign exchange?"

Du Fei was a little surprised that the old man's attitude changed so quickly. He didn't get angry or show his face.

He thought that the old man was interesting and said with a smile: "Look at what you said. How dare I say nonsense in front of you? If you call your superiors tomorrow, I will be in trouble."

Old Wu immediately waved his hand: "No, that can't be done." He patted Du Fei's shoulder and sighed: "Don't they say that talents emerge in every generation? You young people are capable. Tsk, tsk, tsk, how much is it?" But he didn't need Du Fei to answer, and asked himself: "More than 600 million US dollars! It's true that we should consider the overall situation. You are the overall situation~"

After saying this, Old Wu couldn't help shaking his head, with both emotion and relief on his face.

At this time, Du Fei was completely sure that the old man in front of him was not a villain, nor was he here to show off and slap his face.

Although it was a bit like that at the beginning, Old Wu's character and position were really impeccable.

The only bad thing was that he didn't know people well.

Du Fei suddenly felt much more relaxed. After knowing the situation at Old Wu's home, he really didn't want to confront such an old man.

Then his eyes swept over the middle-aged man next to Old Wu.

The man's face was ugly, and he subconsciously rubbed his fingers to hide his uneasiness.

There must be something fishy about this person.

As for whether Old Wu was pretending, Du Fei didn't doubt it.

This old man has no problem with his position and awareness, and he must have some broad mind to be able to reach the top level in a field.

This trip here is purely to deceive the people around him.

Du Fei said meaningfully, pulling Old Wu aside.

The middle-aged man next to him wanted to follow, but was stopped by the clever Wang Changyou and talked about other things.

Old Wu glanced at him and had no objection.

Du Fei went to the side and said with a little lip: "Old man, what do you say about this matter?"

Old Wu frowned, and understood what Du Fei meant, whether he should clean up the mess himself or let Du Fei do it for him.

Old Wu hesitated, glanced at the middle-aged man who followed him, and whispered: "Can't you be flexible and give him a chance? It's not easy for the Guo family to train a scientific research talent, we can't just kill him with one blow."

Du Fei said disapprovingly: "If it were you, would I be flexible? I believe you are sincere for the development of our technology, for the benefit of the Guo family and the people, but others...what they think in their hearts, I'm afraid it's not certain."

Old Wu pursed his lips and sighed.

Du Fei continued: "Besides, you said it yourself, it's not easy for the Guo family to train a talent, let alone let the bad apples mix into our team. Otherwise, the position is incorrect, the greater the ability, the greater the harm, you should know this better than me."

Old Wu's eyes dimmed, sighed and said: "Forget it, forget it~" He turned around and looked at the middle-aged man who was talking to Director Wang, and said with hatred and regret: "Misfortunes caused by heaven can be forgiven, but misfortunes caused by oneself cannot be lived."

Old Wu did not lower his voice. When the man heard it, his face changed drastically and he hurriedly called "Teacher".

Old Wu waved his hand: "Don't call me teacher, I'll ask you to talk later." After saying that, he looked at Du Fei again, pursed his lips, said nothing more, and walked out with big strides, but after walking a few steps, he obviously became weak, as if a shadow was shrouded him.

Just now, he was trying to hold on in front of Du Fei, but he couldn't hold on after all.

After all, he is already over 80 years old.

He can be inseparable from his side and has gained a lot of trust from Old Wu. He must be his proud disciple.

Otherwise, his words would not be so effective, and he will be his academic successor in the future.

This is just like practicing martial arts. As the saying goes, a young man is afraid of a strong fist. A famous martial artist must teach one or two top disciples in his later years. First, they can help the teacher to block things, and second, they can inherit the school and form a system.

It's the same for doing scientific research. When you are old and can't do it anymore, you have apprentices to support you so that you won't lose face.

But Old Wu chose the wrong person.

Later, the person next to Old Wu was taken away by Luo Chu. After a simple interrogation, he confessed directly.

He explained that he had a college classmate who claimed to be a Youtai person who was stranded in Huaguo. This time, he gave him 10,000 yuan, plus some things, and asked him to do a favor.

This person knew the temper of Mr. Wu. If he really told the truth, there would be no chance. It was impossible for him to collude with foreigners.

He was reluctant to part with the 10,000 yuan, and because of some other things, he was caught by someone, so he had to bite the bullet and deceive Mr. Wu.

Upon learning this situation, Mr. Wu was so angry that his hands trembled. He cursed this student for being short-sighted and selling himself for a mere 10,000 yuan.

A bright future was ruined in an instant.

However, for Du Fei, the appearance of Mr. Wu was just a small episode.

Except for the fact that Mr. Wu's sudden appearance made him a little nervous at the beginning, it didn't have much impact.

And taking a step back, even if Mr. Wu didn't wake up in the end, and really wanted to fight to the end, Du Fei would not be afraid of him.

No matter how respected Mr. Wu was, he couldn't control Du Fei.

Du Fei's fire equipment company, unlike other companies, has no direct management unit and is directly responsible to the top leader.

Old Wu can only use his influence to put pressure on him. As long as Du Fei holds on, he has no other choice.

Du Fei was not surprised to learn about the situation.

In order to prevent him from exporting weapons to the Middle East, the Youtai people will definitely do everything they can.

Although they can get Baden and Labalon to leave, that doesn't solve the problem.

They can also find ways to trip him up when they leave the country, such as making a fuss on the transportation route...

Thinking of this, Du Fei pursed his lips slightly. If nothing unexpected happens, the other party is already doing it.

The things that Ah Mai gave to Aiji were delivered in advance last time. The next step is to give the plane to Colonel Ka, so he can fly directly over and there is no chance to take action.

If there are more equipments to be transported to the Middle East, as long as they are transported by ship, there will be problems on the route in all likelihood.

Du Fei sat on the chair in the office, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and put it under his nose to smell it.

Although he knew where the other party would start, he didn't know.

After thinking about it, the probability of Nanyang seems to be greater. There is no other reason, because there are a large number of pirates on the sea route of Nanyang.

As the old saying goes, live by the mountain and eat by the mountain, live by the water.

However, if it really comes to the Nanyang territory, it will be easier for Du Fei, because Kuching has six gunboats on hand.

With a range of more than 6,000 kilometers, the gunboat is enough to patrol in Nanyang, including Malacca, and the Induyang further west.

Speaking of Malacca, Du Fei's previous decision to join the Straits Co-management Committee by all means finally showed its benefits.

As a member of the committee, Du Fei's gunboat can legitimately come and go over the strait.

As several other fruit families along the strait, there is no reason to stop this legitimate behavior of maintaining the security of the strait.

Otherwise, the gunboat's range is useless.

After crossing the strait, the gunboat can fly freely within a radius of 3,500 kilometers, and can reach Sri Lanka at the farthest.

Within this range, the safety of the cargo ship is guaranteed. Du Fei does not believe that Youtai dares to use higher-level force. At most, they will hire local pirates.

This is also their inherent means of using money.

There are probably two parts of pirates in the South Sea: one part is under the command of Eagle, including local pirates who have been recruited, and mercenaries from the original Slater Mercenary Group; the other part is more scattered, and there are also shadows of various fruits behind them. The strongest one is Siam's Su Chai.

This person has a quarter of Huaren blood. He served in the Siamese Navy in his early years. Later, he suddenly became a pirate, did several big things, and made a name for himself.

As for going west beyond this range, Du Fei can't control it.

Of course, if the customer must escort, it is not impossible.

Du Fei also has connections in the four kingdoms of South India, and can use their airports to let the gunboat patrol.

But this is a value-added service, and it must be charged separately.

…

After sending Mr. Wu away, Du Fei stayed quiet for a few days.

The setbacks in Shanghai and Mr. Wu seemed to make Baden and Labalon discouraged, and they did not act rashly.

They simply left the country, first went to Hong Kong, and then went to who knows where.

Du Fei was too lazy to care about them. It was already June, and there would be a fight over there in more than three months.

I don’t believe they will have the time to stare at this place by then.

That afternoon, Du Fei took the time to visit Mianhua Hutong.

He didn’t come here because he was busy for a while.

When the weather was hot, Qin Huairou wore a tight T-shirt, which made her figure more prominent, especially on her chest, where the vertical stripes were exaggeratedly propped up.

Du Fei sat on a bamboo rocking chair in the yard as a boss, while Qin Huairou was cutting a watermelon that had just been pulled out of the well with a knife.

Du Fei took a look and said with a smile: "Where did you buy this watermelon? There are so many seeds."

Qin Huairou pouted: "Who said it was a new variety? There weren't so many seeds in previous years."

She took a piece for Du Fei.

Du Fei didn't care. It was natural to spit out seeds after eating watermelon.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard, and then Qin Jingrou said: "Sister, it's me~"

Qin Huairou was slightly surprised: "Why is this girl back?"

Going to open the door, Qin Jingrou pushed the cart in.

I haven't seen her for a long time. Qin Jingrou has become more mature. Her hair is longer and tied into a ponytail.

Because of her extraordinary talent, she dare not wear tight clothes. She wears a loose women's shirt on the top, a pleated skirt on the bottom, and white leather sandals with slightly heels on her feet. It is considered a very fashionable dress in this era.

Pushing the bicycle in, she was not surprised to see Du Fei. Obviously, he had guessed it a long time ago.

He should have found that Qin Huairou had left work early, so he guessed it.

Qin Huairou usually doesn't come late or leave early, there is only one situation, that is, Du Fei comes.

Qin Jingrou smiled and called "Brother Du Fei".

Du Fei responded, thinking that this girl was holding back something.

Qin Huairou asked her why she came suddenly, and Qin Jingrou didn't pretend, just looked at Du Fei, but said that she would take something and leave.

Qin Huairou pouted: "What did you leave here?"

Qin Jingrou said: "The book I came to read last time is on the kang in the east room~ You can help me look for it, I'll eat a piece of watermelon first." After that, she picked up the watermelon from the plate and ate it.

Qin Huairou went into the room, Qin Jingrou took a bite of the watermelon, moved to Du Fei, glanced at the room, and whispered: "Brother Du Fei, I miss you."

Du Fei turned his head.

Du Fei was sitting and she stood with her body bent, just in time to see the inside of the collar.

White.

A ravine is unfathomable.

She couldn't help but dazed, and then met Qin Jingrou's sneaky eyes, her cheeks slightly red, Du Fei glared at her, but she was not afraid.

She whispered: "Brother Du Fei, you touched me last time, I will be yours for the rest of my life, if you don't touch me, I will be an old maid for the rest of my life."

After saying that, she twisted her butt and ran into the house.

Du Fei was speechless, thinking how could this woman be so stubborn~

When he first traveled through time and met Qin Jingrou, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and six or seven years have passed in a flash. She is already twenty-five or twenty-six and still not married.

In this era, women who get married at the age of twenty-three or twenty-four are considered late to marry and have children, not to mention that they are still single at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six~

After waiting for a while, Qin Huairou and Qin Jingrou came out of the house.

Qin Jingrou was carrying a military bag on her back, with a green strap across her chest, which further highlighted her assets.

But she didn't say anything else, and said to Du Fei: "Brother Du Fei, I'm leaving first." He said "goodbye" to Qin Huairou, pushed his bicycle and left.

Qin Huairou closed the door and came back, sighing: "This girl is possessed. She asked for leave from a long distance and ran back just to see you and say a word."

What could Du Fei say.

Although Qin Jingrou was beautiful and had a good figure, he really didn't want to attract peach blossoms anymore.

What's more, Zhu Ting had already warned Zhu Li last time, so that was the end.

Qin Jingrou was mentioned specifically, and if she committed crimes again, it would definitely cause unrest in the family.
