In response to China's offer of economic assistance, Yugoslavia sent a large-scale inspection delegation to China. The main purpose was to witness China's industrial capabilities and assess whether China had the ability to assist Yugoslavia in restoring its economy.

Novakovic, an economic official involved in the Sino-South African negotiations, was one of the main members of the delegation. After the Central Committee of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia made the final decision, he immediately organized people to fly to China on a chartered flight provided by China.

Sitting in the slightly luxurious and exquisite cabin of the aircraft, Novakovic and many Yugoslav officials were amazed. He asked a Chinese co-organizer next to him: "This aircraft is manufactured by your country."

?"

The Chinese clerk is quite old, about forty years old. He may have witnessed too many miracles over the years, so he is quite accustomed to this, but there is still a vague sense of pride in his heart. He said: "That's right.

, this 62 large wide-body passenger aircraft is a new passenger aircraft launched by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Co., Ltd. last year. It has a standard three-class cabin layout of 30 seats, a cargo capacity of 70 tons, and a maximum take-off weight of 36 tons. Haha, it has successfully surpassed the Boeing 747.

Becoming the largest passenger aircraft in the world."

A Yugoslavian still didn't believe it and asked: "Is it really more powerful than American planes?"

Novakovic glanced at the man with some dissatisfaction, meaning not to make him unhappy.

The Chinese clerk did not take it seriously and said: "This is natural. Our passenger aircraft is more advanced than the Boeing 747, and the price is only about 85% of the Boeing 747. Therefore, once it was launched, we received many inquiries from airlines.

, but our domestic airlines are ranked first in the order list, so it is impossible for foreign airlines to get our aircraft for at least three or four years."

Novakovic praised: "The achievements made by Chinese comrades in the aviation industry are really admirable. I know that your COMAC has several other commercial aircraft, one of which is the 619 narrow-body passenger aircraft.

Our country’s airlines have considered purchasing them before. Well, your country is also very powerful in military aircraft manufacturers. I heard that your country signed a large order with the Americans for the production of attack aircraft, is that right?”

The Chinese clerk also heard a little bit about this, but it was impossible to disclose too many details. He said: "Yes, our country will cooperate with the United States to produce our country's powerful attack aircraft."

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Novakovic knew that these were confidential topics for the military and it was not appropriate to ask more questions. Then he tentatively asked: "Our country's aviation industry started late and its technical level is insufficient.

In this cooperation, I wonder if I can join your country in assisting us in building an aircraft manufacturing plant?"

This question is too purposeful. In the past, I heard that economic assistance from other countries rarely aided the construction of high-tech industries such as the aviation industry. The Chinese clerk was also surprised, and also criticized the Yugoslavs for wanting to take advantage.

He didn't change his face, but said: "We can discuss this matter when we go to China. Well, I'm afraid it won't be possible to build a production line for the entire aircraft, but subcontracting the processing and production of some aviation parts to the Federal Republic of China can also be done.

It’s not a bad idea.”

In fact, the Chinese clerk feels that it is very unacceptable. Although Yugoslavia is not as good as Western Europe, the United States, and Japan, the production costs including employee wages and material prices are much higher than those in China. China can obviously afford the whole package, why?

Spend more money to have the Yugoslavs produce accessory parts?

Novakovic didn't have too many hopes. After all, his idea was a bit surreal. Few countries were willing to help others with such "heart and soul". Even if they could get an aircraft parts manufacturing plant, it would be a big gift.

Already.

The large passenger plane 62 took off from Belgrade and could fly directly to the capital without the need to land and refuel. After the Yugoslav delegation arrived in China, they received a grand welcome from the Chinese side. This also made many Yugoslavs feel happy and felt that they had not seen it before.

It's a bit embarrassing to entertain the Chinese delegation.

However, the Yugoslav delegation soon became slightly disappointed. Most of them had never been to China and had almost no idea about China. However, after Lai Zhenping had given away so many gift packages, they felt that China would not be too weak. But

After arriving in China, they felt a little cold. As the capital of the Chinese dynasty, the capital did not have the highly industrialized and modern appearance they imagined. There were not even many cars running on the wide roads.

There are indeed some modern buildings in the city, but most of them are quaint alleys. Looking at the clothes of people on the street, they are far less fashionable and decent than the residents of Belgrade who are suffering from the disaster.

Several Yugoslav officials have already begun to mutter to themselves: "I have been deceived. China is too poor."

At this time, Novakovic looked out the car window, shook his head slightly, and said: "Maybe China's per capita living standard is not up to the level of our Yugoslavia, but have you noticed that the residents here are different from us Yugoslavs?

different?"

An official laughed and said: "It's different of course. They are all yellow-skinned Asians, and we are white-skinned Europeans."

Novakovic shook his head again and said: "I'm talking about the difference in mental outlook. Coming out of Belgrade, the people there were enveloped in a depressive mood. Everyone was depressed about their livelihood and future, and some

People have become lazy and care about everything; and the Chinese in the capital, no matter what job they are engaged in, can feel the spirit of simple proletarian laborers in them. They may be thinner than us Balyu people, but in the face of

But their attitude towards life is ten times more enthusiastic than ours. They don’t smile very much, but when they do they look very satisfied. To put it in a more superstitious way, their faces all glow red.”

Someone asked: "Comrade Novakovic, what do you mean?"

"China is in a rising period, a rapid rising period, and it is difficult to determine how long this rising period will last. We have all seen the economic data released by China before. The economic growth rate has been above 2 for several consecutive years, and this growth rate

It is actually still accelerating. China is different from us in the Federal Republic of China. It is a huge country second only to the Soviet Union and Canada in area and a population of one billion people. I am afraid that after a few decades of development, the average level will still be relatively low, but as a socialist country

, as long as they are determined to do something, they will be able to burst out with amazing power."

After listening to Novakovic's words, everyone nodded in agreement. Most of the people here are relatively pragmatic officials, and they will not compare the situation of Yugoslavia, which has only more than 20 million people, to China. Furthermore, China's current international situation

The influence of Yugoslavia is not comparable to that of Yugoslavia. In recent years, China’s “conquests in the east and west, and wars in the south and north” have gained a reputation in the world. Everyone even knows that the so-called Nanyang Republic covers an area of ​​one million square kilometers.

The country is actually a colony developed by China in an incredible way. China is also a country that has generally good relations with the Western world and retains its socialist system and people's democratic dictatorship. Yugoslavia also has a close relationship with China in this regard.

If China didn't have a few tools, it wouldn't be possible to do so many great things in recent years. Furthermore, even if China is poor, poor people are still willing to take money. It would be a fool not to take advantage of it.

When Qi Yiming finalized the strategy for Yugoslavia, it actually caused dissatisfaction among some people. His country still needs to develop, so it is not cost-effective to throw so much money to Yugoslavia. Of course, Qi Yiming will not directly refute these old minds.

, after all, he lives in a real world, not in the world of online novels. Many YY masters who seem to understand but not understand think that the best way to accumulate wealth is to only get out but not get in. Qi Yiming, who was born in economics, thinks this

Of course he scoffed.

This kind of thinking is a remnant of mercantilism during the period of geographical discovery. The fact that it can be accepted by modern people is itself a reflection of insufficient knowledge. Reasonable economic development and international balance of payments must make progress and progress. Why do you like Japan if nothing happens?

Giving loans to other countries is not a special way to balance its own international balance of payments. In recent years, China has made money at a faster rate than Japan. The huge amount of arms trade income alone is an astonishing figure, let alone

Export of general civilian products.

Of course, a large amount of funds can be invested in the construction of the country. After all, the country is currently relatively weak in all aspects, but Qi Yiming has outlined a series of projects and projects, and there is still money left, and he still has a large amount of cash in his own account.

Engineering construction does not mean that everything that is missing can be launched at once, there is a sequence and development route. Rome was not built in a day, and it is definitely not a lie.

He used a large amount of money for loan assistance and investment, which is by no means the kind of international aid in Taizu's era. These money and investments will eventually reap more benefits. China's tentacles can penetrate deep into Yugoslavia and obtain a lever to leverage Europe.

It is a node, and it is still in the "softest underbelly of Europe". The geopolitical investment alone is worth it. And the investment is profitable. It is impossible for the Chinese to make all the money. This is unrealistic.

Expanding channels itself is also a way to increase income, and in addition, loans will also have interest in the future.

Although China is not as harsh as the United States and attaches too many political conditions, China has national resources that the United States cannot mobilize. A large number of Chinese workers, technicians, and managers can enter Yugoslavia and use the Chinese model to frame Yugoslavia.

The federation can only have one result in the end, and that is for the Southern Federation to get closer and closer to China, until one day it is completely embedded in China's economic system, becoming an inseparable part and becoming a semi-puppet-like existence.
