Chapter 14 This Basket Has Been Bigger

Maximus was yelled at by Harry Ford, and he immediately realized what a terrible fact he had uttered.

God! This is the most confidential matter of Hughes Corporation!

That's right, Hughes added a bomb to the Ausstar, and it wasn't the kind of self-destruct device that was set up for the sake of secrecy. It was a real bomb. As the senior vice president of the company, as a shrewd businessman who is well versed in the commercial satellite launch market, it is not difficult for Maximos to deduce the reason why the company did so.

In recent years, commercial satellite launches in the United States and Europe have repeatedly failed, and starships and rockets have been destroyed from time to time. It can be said that because of this reason, the commercial satellite launch market has been depressed. Many large companies have also responded to this situation. All have suspended or delayed their plans to own commercial satellites.

As the United States, which has monopolized the international commercial satellite launch market for a long time, it is naturally unwilling to see a new competitor appear in this small market. Moreover, the Americans always believe that the Chinese are far more difficult to deal with than Russia. As a big country with a population of more than one billion, as a big country that also has nuclear deterrence capabilities and satellite launch capabilities, China is undoubtedly a major player in the commercial satellite launch market for the United States. powerful potential opponents.

So, wait until this opponent grows up, and challenge yourself? Or kill him when he is still in his infancy? The choice was obviously easy to make.

Although Hughes does not have to worry about who will launch the satellites it produces, it is an American company after all. The national will of the United States is obviously above everything else. It is suggested to move some hands and feet on the satellite. Also very reasonable.

Although some of the top managers of Hughes Company once opposed this kind of evil behavior that might cause their company to lose credibility, the voice of support was overwhelming. The national interests of the United States must be fully respected.

So Hughes added an induction explosive device to the two satellites the company was producing for Orset. This kind of device can blow up the main control components of the satellite after the rocket is lifted into the sky. Due to the limited capacity and the consideration of being discovered, the equivalent of explosives will not be too large, but the engineers of Hughes Company believe that no matter whether the rocket will affected. Satellites ascending into space will definitely not be able to send back any signals.

However, this matter is very secretive. Even among the top executives of the Hughes Company, there are only a few people who can know about it. Maximus knows it, and Harry Ford knows it. There are still a few people who know.

But how did Fan Wubing know about this?

Maximus's cold sweat immediately soaked his underwear, and he suddenly found that his alcoholism disappeared without a trace as if blown away by a strong wind, while the silence in the room and the cold eyes of everyone gathered on him, It made him feel as uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles.

"Everyone, I think I probably drank too much to make such a ridiculous joke." Maximus wiped the cold sweat off his brow. He said to everyone in a dazed manner, "China's winemaking industry is indeed very developed. The power of this kind of liquor is enough to turn a senior executive of a multinational company into a nonsense in an instant. My current situation is probably like this."

But everyone obviously wouldn't believe his explanation, since Fan Wubing suddenly asked such a sentence for no reason. And Maximus replied very smoothly. The two are seamlessly connected,

What does this mean?

It can only show that the bombs in the satellites mentioned by Fan Wubing do exist. Since there are bombs in the Australoid, will the three satellites that Fan Wubing bought be as clean as he said?

This is a very serious problem!

Fan Wubing didn't say much, just patted Maximus on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Dear Mark, I hope that when my satellite is launched into space, it won't be a Wreckage, if so, I believe those compensations will put your company out of business."

Maximus was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly assured Fan Wubing, "Dear Fan, I think there is some misunderstanding in this, our company will not add bombs to any satellite."

"Oh?" Fan Wubing looked at the people in the room, and asked with a smile, "But Mark, you didn't seem to say that when I asked just now, maybe there is something wrong with my ears, and I have auditory hallucinations? "

"Well, it must be like this! Auditory hallucinations!" Maximus immediately agreed when he heard it, "When people drink too much alcohol, it is easy to have hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, and other unreal feelings. I think I may also have a false emotional response, we really shouldn't take drunk jokes seriously, you should know, this is not in line with the general rules of business activities."

A general at the base listened to the conversation between the two men and wanted to question Maximus, but the general stopped him as soon as he moved his mouth. He felt aggrieved and wanted to ask why he was not allowed to speak. The admiral smiled and pointed to Fan Wubing, which meant to let him wait and see what happened.

The admiral felt that Fan Wubing asked such a question out of the blue, and of course he would not be aimless. Although he didn't know how he came up with this seemingly incredible question, the admiral thought that it was impossible for him to ask After such a very embarrassing question, there is no more to follow.

Sure enough, Fan Wubing smiled at Maximus, and then touched his chest with his hand. It seemed that there was something hidden. He stared at Maximus very unkindly, with a serious look on his face. With a smirk, "Dear Mark, I think that although people sometimes get drunk, things like tape recorders shouldn't get drunk, right?"

When Harry Ford and Maximus saw Fan Wubing pull out a small tape recorder from his pocket, they both wanted to kill someone. This Fan Wubing is really too bad!

Who would have a tape recorder in their pocket while drinking? ! Doesn't it make it clear that they are here to frame people!

"Well, let's listen to it. What did this little thing record?" Fan Wubing pressed the rewind button of the tape, and the room fell silent, only the sound of the tape rewinding.

After rewinding the tape. Fan Wubing pressed the play button, there was a blank space before. Suddenly Fan Wubing said, "Oh, I almost forgot, you should enjoy the good things first."

So he pressed the pause button, took out the small earphones from his pocket, stuffed them into his ears, and then inserted one end into the earphone jack of the tape recorder. That's when it started playing again.

This guy is so bad! The people in the room wanted to listen to the playback of the recorded voice, but no one thought that Fan Wubing would play such a trick again. Isn't this an appetite! I have seen hurtful people, but I have never seen such hurtful people!

Maximus was really anxious at this time, and asked Harry Ford in a low voice, "Did I speak loudly just now?"

"What do you think?" Harry Ford's mood was even worse at this moment. He hated why the company let such an old Jewish man serve as the senior vice president, and let him participate in such extremely confidential affairs, is it okay now? Finally, he made a big mess for the company!

Adding bombs to the customer's satellite, if this kind of thing spreads out, not only will it have a great impact on the market, but those insurance companies will be the first to come to the door and track down those who have failed in previous launches from beginning to end. In this case, are those failures caused by the deliberate use of bombs by the Hughes Company?

Although most people think this is impossible. But people just need an excuse, an excuse that can hit Hughes and make profits for themselves.

This excuse was uttered by the drunk Maximus in public at the banquet, and it was even recorded!

After Fan Wubing listened for a while, he smiled happily, and suddenly threw the tape recorder to the general. Then said. "Hehe, dear Mark. Although your voice is not charming, it is valuable! But I don't care much about these things. Whether there are bombs is none of my business? You can discuss it!"

After finishing speaking, Fan Wubing shook his hand and walked away.

The people in the room stared wide-eyed, unable to figure out why Fan Wubing would do this. He slapped Maximus abruptly, which was tantamount to breaking out a big Hughes company scandal, but he easily dismissed this The evidence of the incident was thrown to the military. What does this mean? No one can guess.

Holding the miniature Walkman, the admiral suddenly felt a bit dumbfounded, "Much ado about nothing!" The admiral thought in his heart, Fan Wubing suddenly played such a hand, it was really beautiful, the people in Hughes Company thought he was going to use it This is a threat. When he asked Hughes for some conditions, he actually quit? ! But this thing is like a hot potato, and it would be troublesome to hand it over to anyone. Holding this walkman, the admiral felt that he was being used by Fan Wubing again?

But he thought about it in his mind, could he get some benefits from Hughes by taking advantage of this incident? At least Maximus and Harry Ford have such a big mess in their hands, they certainly don't want the company to know about it, take this opportunity to learn more about the research progress of Hughes Company, and their so-called most advanced Commercial communication satellites are also a good thing.

"This Fan Wubing is really acting like a powerful and unconstrained style, so unpredictable!" The general shook his head, put on the earphones, and after listening for a while, he ordered his secretary with a strange expression, "This is the most important thing. Immediately collect the physical evidence, put a seal on it, send it to the confidential room, and send six guards to guard it 24 hours a day. You must remember that unless I am personally present, no one is allowed to touch this thing.”

"Yes." The secretary turned to the tape recorder with a serious expression, and immediately beckoned, leading two soldiers to take the thing away.

Maximus and Harry Ford stretched their necks, watching the criminal evidence being taken away, feeling extremely depressed in their hearts. If this incident were to break out, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, after Maximus regained consciousness, he suddenly felt that this was not the worst thing. If the thing was in Fan Wubing's hands, it would be more troublesome. Because this guy has no rules, it all depends on his personal preferences, he really wants to announce this tape. It will definitely cause an uproar, and now he suddenly dumped things to the senior generals of the Chinese military. This is definitely not a turning point.

The military cannot mess around like Fan Wubing.

Maximus's brain immediately started to work, and he thought about what he had to make the other party give up the evidence in his hand. He had some unimportant confidential information of the Hughes Company in his hands. If he could use these The exchange by the Chinese military is much smaller than the loss to the company after the tape was exposed.

So Maximos flirted with Harry Ford, and the two of them thought of the same place at this moment. Dealing with the Chinese military is at least much easier than dealing with that cunning little villain Fan Wubing.

At least in this kind of negotiation, formal diplomatic rhetoric can still play a certain role, especially the traditional friendship between China and the United States, which can sometimes be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

"Mr. General, I think we should discuss some things carefully." After the Jewish old man figured this out, his spirit improved a lot, and he immediately suggested to the general with enthusiasm.

The general looked at the two foreign devils who were as anxious as the ants on the hot pot but wanted to pretend nothing had happened. He felt very funny, so he nodded in agreement, "Well, don't worry. Don't worry, As long as it is within the framework of one China, we can talk about any issue."

The two foreign devils immediately became a little dizzy, and thought to themselves, how could this big man have acquired the habit of a little villain when speaking? This is not a good sign!

Not to mention that they were full of evil thoughts here, but Fan Wubing left the meeting directly.

He Yun's task is to follow Fan Wubing closely and take charge of all his affairs in the base. Especially after Du Pengfei drew his gun. He was asked to be inseparable, so he followed out.

Fan Wubing looked very happy. There was something horizontal in the innermost part, He Yun listened carefully, it seemed that it was something about ordinary people, I am so happy today, the tune has never been heard before.

"Hey, why did you bring the recording to others? If you keep it, can you threaten the Hughes company and promise you what conditions?" He Yun felt that Fan Wubing did not seem like a person who was indifferent to fame and wealth. , otherwise he would not have engaged in this surprise attack and recorded Maximus.

Then after Fan Wubing succeeded, he easily left the physical evidence to the military, and he was completely removed from the incident. He Yun really found it hard to understand. Could it be that Fan Wubing's personality is actually very noble? ? impossible!

Fan Wubing glanced at He Yun, and smiled slightly, "What if we don't give it to them? Did you see that when I took out the tape recorder, the eyes of the military people were straight?"

In fact, the bureau has always been very concerned about Hughes's communication satellite products, so after Fan Wubing proposed to steal the satellite, their reaction was so positive. Although China's technology has been improving, there is still a big gap in microelectronics and chip design compared with the United States. This is undeniable. Otherwise, China's computers would not have to rely on imports from the United States. Godson, which has been engaged in for many years, still cannot be listed in large quantities.

Fan Wubing sent such a good handle to the military, so of course they were more concerned.

"So you won't get anything?" He Yun still felt unable to understand Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing smiled slightly, "If you are willing to give up, if you don't give up, how can you get it?"

Maximos and Harry Ford worriedly followed several engineers from the base back to the commissioning site where the satellite is located. The work there cannot be stopped. If there is no disease, three satellites will be launched, and there is plenty of time to talk.

The commander of the base followed the admiral to the confidential room, and watched with some puzzlement that the admiral with a strange expression took out the miniature tape recorder, and then put on the earphones. After listening for a while, his expression became equally strange.

The last two people laughed at the same time, "Hahahaha----"

The first update was delivered, and Xiaolang went to fill his stomach, and then continued to code, hoping to get the second update before twelve o'clock. Ladies and gentlemen, Baibai, and those who still have monthly tickets, please be sure to support me.
