Chapter 712 Post-War Settlement
In fact, Wu Yifan's understanding of B2 basically comes from various news he has heard and seen these days. He probably knows that this is a very powerful strategic weapon.
Then……
It’s gone.
Although he also majored in aircraft design, he did not study seriously when he was in school, and he was not very interested. He basically relied on cramming and cramming to survive before the exam. After graduation, he threw away his professional knowledge for two years. , has long been forgotten by now, so there is no technical concept.
The reason why he felt that this thing was not suitable for him to keep was firstly because he felt that the biggest contributors to the downing of this plane were the comrades on the domestic technical front and the air defense force. Secondly, he was also worried that he was outside almost all year round. If he accidentally If too many people know that they have such a treasure in their hands, they will inevitably make some unnecessary associations.
In short, it is safer to find a way to send it back to China.
Moreover, the commemorative significance of this fragment is very high. After sending it back, it can further harmonize the relationship with the country -
Although he has taken a lot of risks in the past few months, compared to the piecemeal buying and selling in the past, he has actually made money much faster.
In addition to the advance payment from the "Friendship Plan", just by transferring a series of technical data from the Azov Steel Plant back to China, he and his partners received profits that were almost equivalent to last year's entire year. Only four months have passed.
What's more important is that after embracing such a big leg, the expectations for the future are much higher than in the past.
After all, the red-top businessman…
Ahem.
Looking at the fragment of the plane in front of him, Old Wu had already begun to enjoy the fact that he was at the pinnacle of his life.
Just like some people, after just a casual glance from the goddess, they want to think of a name for their child.
Barsak next to him naturally didn't know what the other party was brainstorming at this time. He only saw Lao Wu's eyes shining, as if he was looking at the lover in his dream, so he naturally thought that the other party couldn't wait to take away the fragments:
"So... do you need me to wrap it up for you? Or, if you think it's too big, you can handle it a little bit."
"Deal with it?"
Wu Yifan looked at Barsak.
The latter nodded:
“The most important part of the piece is the one with the serial number on it, so you can cut out the less important parts and that would be more convenient if you really want to keep it as a personal collection. , such as...making it into a handicraft and framing it."
"You should understand that this thing will definitely not be seen by others for at least a short period of time, so you can only appreciate it by yourself..."
Although Lao Wu didn't know whether the fragments were technically valuable, he originally wanted to hand them over to the state instead of collecting them himself. How could he let others just cut them up casually? So he quickly waved his hand:
"No...I don't want to..."
However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he definitely couldn't tell the other party the truth about the situation, so he had to change his words in a hurry:
"I heard that there are many spies from various countries in the Balkans. I just flew here this morning. If I go back right away, everyone will know that I must have gotten something here, and it will attract unnecessary attention."
"It's better to leave it with you first. When I need to return later, I can take it with me in my... uh... cargo. You know, I'm professional in this regard."
The reason why Lao Wu knew Colonel Danny was because he had cooperated with him on this type of business several times before. As a close confidant of the latter, Barsac naturally understood what the other party meant by "goods."
Since the 1990s, the military has been having a hard time. If it had not been for cooperation with people like Wu Yifan, it would have starved to death long ago.
And now a war has just been fought. Although it is a tragic victory in terms of the result, on the surface it is a fair ceasefire after all. Moreover, judging from historical experience, it is still difficult to get war reparations from the Americans. So much higher.
More importantly, the economic sanctions imposed by the EU have not been lifted.
Therefore, there is a high probability that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Thinking of this, Barsak suddenly changed the topic:
"Speaking of which, since Ermao asked you to be responsible for the construction of the military camp, you must have the raw material supply channels and construction capabilities?"
"certainly."
Old Wu nodded:
"Why do you ask this suddenly?"
For Eastern Europe, construction raw materials are not a problem at all, and his engineering team comes from an engineering brigade that he has cooperated with in Sanmao.
The Major shrugged:
"Although the war is over, you should also be able to see that the entire country's production was almost completely destroyed by bombing, so we need people to be responsible for post-war reconstruction. Europe and the United States are still sanctioning us, and it is difficult to find people with suitable efficiency and price. people to do it.”
"That's no problem. I also have a lot of legitimate businesses..."
Wu Yifan felt that he had to bring the team over anyway, and there was no difference between staying for half a month and half a year.
But after agreeing, his tone changed:
"However, in business, you must also have a reliable payment method, such as precious metals, US dollars, euros or other hard currencies."
"I'm afraid it will be more difficult for the U.S. dollar and the euro, but the current idea above is to exchange the mining rights for several mineral veins in the middle."
This answer surprised Lao Wu:
"How could you, a major, know this?"
“Colonel Danny is now our national hero and he has accepted an invitation to join Parliament.”
"That's it..."
Wu Yifan lowered his head and hesitated.
This exchange is indeed very tempting.
The mineral vein in the central Balkans is a rich gold mine. If you can get the mining rights for 10 years or more, you can definitely make a lot of money.
But if he calms down and thinks about it, this kind of investment cycle is too long for him.
And if he wants to operate a gold mine for a long time, he will definitely not be able to continue to wear the skin of a "Buryat businessman".
After much thought, it would be safer to find another way of cooperation.
So he shook his head:
"I am in the business of making quick money. Mining is too big a business and the funds are slowly withdrawn. It does not meet my investment standards."
"However, I have been doing foreign trade business over the years, and I have met many large companies that have the ability and willingness to do so. I can serve as an intermediary and contact you."
Barsak just asked casually after thinking about this, and did not continue to pester. He just left a new contact information for Lao Wu.
…
a few days later
China, Beijing.
Chang Haonan was also discussing with Ding Gaoheng the topic of the follow-up impact of the Allied operations.
"Yesterday afternoon, three of our military observers have arrived in the Balkans in advance to supervise the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and reconstruction work. A company-sized peacekeeping organization has also begun to be deployed from various military regions. It is expected that after the temporary camps are completed, the final It will be available as late as August this year.”
Ding Gaoheng was obviously in a very good mood today. While making tea, he was talking about what happened in the week after the ceasefire agreement was reached:
"This is the first time that we have sent an organized security force to perform a peacekeeping mission, which is also a precedent."
Ordinarily, peacekeeping missions have little to do with the military technical department, but after all, this was the idea that Chang Haonan first proposed.
Although the specific execution process is almost completely unrelated to the original plan——
Even Chang Haonan did not expect that the effect of the 200 VDV Superman would be so immediate that the United States directly proposed the establishment of a multinational peacekeeping force, directly giving up some chips to China and Russia. It won’t happen anymore.
"In addition, this morning, the exchange rate of the euro against the U.S. dollar has risen to 1:1.1100. It has finally been able to keep it from falling below 1:1, otherwise it will be a big trouble for us..."
Seeing Ding Gaoheng finish making tea, Chang Haonan quickly picked up the teapot and poured water:
"Thanks to the fact that on the 18th, the EU acted like a fool and did nothing the whole time... So the international market first learned about the suspension of Allied operations, and only a few hours later did it know that the hotel was occupied by Americans. It was raised.”
"If this process were reversed, I'm afraid the panic in the intervening few hours would be enough to pierce the euro... This detail should have been taken into consideration at that time..."
Having said this, he still felt a little scared.
After all, the core of the entire Balkan crisis is actually the fight for the euro.
Ding Gaoheng was very open-minded and immediately comforted:
"It is impossible to 100% avoid accidents in the execution of a plan, so when making plans, especially macro plans, you should focus on the big and let go of the small. If you really focus on the details, it will lead to a loss of flexibility. Once a certain step occurs, Problem, it will be easy to lose everything later..."
"Now that there is a second currency in the world to compete with the US dollar, we have won a big win anyway, not to mention that this time we also broke the American military myth, with an F117 and a B2. But it’s a big profit.”
"Speaking of this."
Chang Haonan stopped picking up the tea cup:
"Before I came this time, Lao Wu contacted me through the company and said that he had obtained a piece of debris from the B2 bomber. Also, he was currently preparing to exchange the mining rights of a gold mine vein for a complete war machine. Post-reconstruction project.”
There are actually two main ways for Wu Yifan to contact the country. If it is through the company, it will be directly contacted by Chang Haonan; if it is through an overseas agency, it will be contacted by the relevant domestic departments.
And because of well-known reasons, the foreign agencies in the Balkans are currently in a highly sensitive stage, so the former path is safer.
Although Chang Haonan's tone was so calm that there was almost no change in tone, the content he said made Ding Gaoheng shake his arms and almost spilled all the tea...
