Chapter 1295 They Gave Too Much

The moment Sultan said this, Rogge was fully alert.

He knew that something big was coming.

The Saudi delegation to China was of high standard and involved a wide range of areas, including energy, military, scientific research, education, etc., in addition to the aerospace field.

So much so that, although the superiors had conducted multiple rounds of investigation and discussion on Saudi Arabia's intentions, they had not reached a relatively unified conclusion until the reception mission began.

All relevant departments agreed that they were the main target of the other party's visit, and the others were just a cover.

After all, although China's economic output is expected to be the third largest this year, there are too many debts in the past development, and it is a country with a population of more than one billion, so all aspects are far from being "rich".

In this case, a high-quality customer who is generous and does not care about the payment method is an extremely attractive sweet potato for the competent authorities in any field.

Of course, in China, all walks of life have unified leadership, and the money earned in any industry cannot directly become an internal treasury.

If it is just a small fight, there may be room for operation, but no one dares to have such a large-scale national cooperation.

What's more, this is foreign exchange, which cannot be used directly in China, so the links involved are even more complicated.

But this does not mean that overseas business is worthless.

On the contrary, even if only economic accounts are counted, for those departments or projects that are capable of creating additional benefits, the superiors will also make preferential considerations when allocating funds in priority-

Chang Haonan, who did not have the current status at the beginning, accumulated resources for himself little by little.

And if political accounts are counted, it goes without saying.

With the increasingly close connection between China and the world market since joining the WTO, and the huge benefits brought to the national economy and reputation by the "first going overseas" of some industries in recent years, the superiors have long had the idea of ​​further promoting changes in the international division of labor.

If this action is implemented in all aspects, it is bound to be collectively resisted by those old developed countries.

Therefore, they can only gradually increase the stakes by boiling the frog in warm water, prolonging the relatively stable external environment at this stage, and by the way, continue to create cracks in the other party's camp, which is already not very solid.

However, for the booming industries in China, this also means that there must be a first come first served in terms of support and attention.

The National Defense Science and Technology Commission took advantage of the east wind and not only jumped into the top six in the institutional sequence, but also allowed Ding Gaoheng to take another half step before retirement. Everyone saw it.

Although that half step is just a second-line idle position, who dares to say that they don't want it?

If you can seize this opportunity, it will not only replicate the operation of the Science and Technology Commission in the past, but at least it will be a political achievement that can be officially mentioned.

And Saudi Arabia's visit at such a critical juncture is simply a pillow.

Therefore, Rogge suppressed his excitement and gave the other party a positive but official response:

"We Chinese have always advocated international cooperation in the field of space exploration, and are willing to share scientific data with friendly partners on the basis of equality, mutual benefit, peaceful use, and inclusive development, and jointly conduct research to make pioneering contributions to the peaceful use of space by mankind..."

"..."

Direct investment in the space station, and a foreign astronaut will be stationed there.

Although this matter does not violate the development principles of manned space engineering, the scope of its implementation is too large.

Not to mention that he is the second-in-command of the space agency, even Director Sun Yanlai cannot make a direct decision.

However, in his opinion, since Sultan can put forward such a shocking request, it undoubtedly shows that the real goal of the Saudi delegation's visit is their aerospace industry.

Although the aerospace system has gained a lot of benefits under the Science and Technology Commission/Industry and Construction Commission in recent years, Rogge, as an excellent comrade with great ambition, does not mind making further progress.

So no matter what, the other party must be stabilized first.

Even as he was speaking in an official tone, he had already stretched out his hand and gestured behind his back a few times, asking an inconspicuous entourage behind the crowd to report the situation to the capital.

Try to ensure that after the trip to Qiong Province today, both sides will sit down and start negotiations directly.

Don't give the other side too much time to react.

What if you regret it.

At this time, the translator on the side had already conveyed the slightly lengthy statement just now to Sultan.

The latter is actually not a full-time administrative staff, and it is inevitable that he is a little confused by such a set of jargon.

Fortunately, the key words "advocating cooperation" and "willing to communicate" were still captured.

Chinese people speak tactfully, which conforms to the stereotype.

So Sultan didn't think much about it, but continued:

"We understand that this matter involves many links, and the cooperation between our two sides has just begun. It is indeed not convenient to involve such an in-depth project in a short time..."

When he first heard this, Rogge was quite surprised.

He really didn't expect that this big bearded foreigner with a lavish face could understand the ways of the world so well, instead of just thinking about throwing money to solve the problem.

However, the next moment...

"So, Mr. Luo, why don't we talk about the previous cooperation first?"

"Um?"

The rapidly changing topic almost caused Rogge's brain to shut down, and he subconsciously issued a modal particle.

And this, of course, requires no translation.

Sultan thought he didn't express himself clearly, so he continued to explain before Rogge could react:

"Cooperation must be done step by step... In order to express sincerity, we can talk about several other projects first, such as navigation and positioning, and natural disaster detection systems..."

"Mr. Luo, you must also know that although we have a cooperative relationship with the Americans, we cannot obtain the most accurate P code in the GPS system. In addition, we have also introduced some new seawater desalination and agricultural technologies in recent years, including recently The Binhai Nuclear Power Plant, which is still negotiating with Rosatom, is greatly affected by the unstable weather in the North Indian Ocean and needs to provide stable early warning of disasters..."

Obviously, this is unlocking Internet thinking in advance.

Accumulated recharge xxx unlocks higher permissions.

However, Rogge next to him didn't care about that.

It's the hidden meaning of Sultan's words just now.

When he first listened to the first half, Rogge felt that the other party was simply telling lies with his eyes open. Although Saudi Arabia can only be regarded as a second-level ally of the United States and does not have the highest authority of the GPS system, the combat effectiveness of your Saudi army How about it? Don’t you have any idea in your mind? It doesn’t matter whether you get the P code or not, right?

So he has almost confirmed his idea, and the other party just wants to find a reason to invest.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

But the content in the second half seems quite real.

After all, Saudi Arabia has long had close trade relations with China, and even its desert agricultural technology was based on Chang Haonan's experimental area in eastern Mongolia Province to a certain extent.

Moreover, although the weather conditions in the northern Indian Ocean are not as crazy as those in the South China Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, extreme phenomena such as tropical cyclones often occur.

Anyway, it sounds reasonable no matter how you listen to it.

This time, Rogge was a little hesitant.

The two projects that Sultan mentioned just now were those that the bureau and the Industrial and Construction Committee had discussed in advance, and he could promise to cooperate.

It's just how the promise is implemented that makes a big difference.

If Saudi Arabia had the same idea as him at the beginning, and just wanted to accumulate the recharge amount, then it would naturally follow the original plan and do whatever it takes, and wait until the end to give the other party an application permission of the same level, and then in Saudi Arabia Just build a batch of related ground stations in Wudi.

But if people are really ready to use it urgently, then after the investment funds are received, they will definitely have to change the priority of project construction.

Although there are still many differences between China and Saudi Arabia in terms of stance and ideology.

But in business, when Chinese people do business, regardless of how much money they make, the most basic goodwill must still be guaranteed.

For example, if Saudi Arabia really needs the second-generation Beidou satellite positioning system that is under construction and is expected to provide services around the world, the coverage order will definitely shift from Pacific priority to Indian Ocean priority.

These issues must be clarified before making a principled statement.

"Dr. Sultan..."

Rogge took a deep breath and lowered his voice:

"To be honest, your generous move...even your desire to directly participate in the construction of our country's space station is really beyond our expectations, so I can only say now that these requirements do not violate the basic principles of our country's aerospace development, but more importantly I’m afraid we’ll have to wait for a specific response after returning to the capital.”

When the other party has been questioned, this move is to retreat in order to advance.

There are many secrets in the country of Saudi Arabia, but they mainly focus on the internal struggle within the royal family. In terms of overall strategy, there is not much to hide.

So he doesn't worry about the other party being too strict.

Sure enough, Sultan hardly hesitated:

"Perhaps Mr. Luo should know that the Persians plan to use their Messenger rocket to launch a satellite next year?"

In fact, Rogge had just joined the management of the space agency not long ago, and Persia is not really a space power, so he really didn't know.

But since the other party said so, he couldn't admit it on the spot.

That's so embarrassing.

So I had to nod.

"If the launch is successful, which is actually very likely based on the current situation, then they will become the first country in the Islamic world to launch a satellite, and we hope to be the first country in the Islamic world to launch a satellite. astronauts into space."

"I see……"

Rogge replied with emotion——

It's all a struggle.

What a fierce struggle.
