Although it was already early in the morning, little Paul still stood at the door to greet the guests. When the two met the British butler, they couldn't help but have another evaluation of Li Mubai.
The politeness of the British butler made Ding Shoucheng and Cen Qianjin realize what a professional is and what a butler is. Although his Chinese is not fluent yet, and he still has a bit of a London accent. But under Ding Yigen
Tell these two elders that this housekeeper has only been in Xiangjiang for a week. Immediately, this kind of professionalism makes people awe-inspiring. There is no distinction between high and low professions. The difference is whether they are attentive or not.
Li Mubai was sitting in the small reception room on the second floor, waiting for the arrival of these two elders. Originally, he should have gone downstairs to greet them in person, but he still had some work on hand. He asked his butler to greet them, which was already a courtesy to these two elders.
A kind of respect. If it were someone else, they wouldn't even be able to get in through the outside door.
Opening the door, Ding Shoucheng and Cen Qianjin saw a pile of documents on the coffee table in front of Li Mubai's sofa, with various patterns on them. It was a bit far away, so they couldn't see clearly what was drawn on them. But for what they just said,
Any little bit of dissatisfaction was resolved instantly.
"Hello, second uncle, you don't mind if I call you this, right?" Li Mubai saw that the two people had arrived, put down the drawing pencil in his hand, and stood up. After a few steps, he came over and bowed slightly.
The etiquette and handshakes that Chinese people treat their elders are foreign things to foreigners. What Li Mubai likes more is these etiquette left by his ancestors.
"I don't mind, why would I mind." Ding Shoucheng nodded with satisfaction. Li Mubai showed the etiquette of a junior, without any disrespect. With Li Mubai's current identity and status, he would definitely treat someone like this.
Not much more.
Although he was not dissatisfied with Li Mubai's politeness at all, he could feel the distance in his tone. With that deliberately created sense of distance, he placed his position very low. It seems that although Li Mubai is
I respect him as an elder very much, but if there is a stalemate between the two parties, he, as the elder, would not be able to embarrass others, right?
After understanding Li Mubai's little thoughts, Ding Shoucheng had to take another look at Li Mubai. This little guy's current achievements were definitely not due to luck alone.
"Let me introduce to you. This is Major General Cen Qianjin, a member of the Standing Committee of the General Science and Technology Commission and the head of the Scientific Research Ordering Department." At this time, Ding Shoucheng had already placed Li Mubai on an equal footing with himself. Don't look at it.
He is young, but whether it is status, status, or scheming, it is not something that a twenty-three-year-old can achieve.
"Hello, General Cen." Li Mubai extended his hands to the general, which could be regarded as a sign of respect. However, the superiority and distance between him and Ding Shoucheng could be distinguished at that time. Li Mubai did not
Don't care what the other person thinks, but face two people with different relationships from your own standpoint.
"Hello, Mr. Li." Although Cen Qianjin admires Li Mubai's research results very much, it does not mean that he does not know his identity or the purpose of coming today. Business is business, and private matters must be
Make way for the interests of the country.
"Please take a seat." As the host, Li Mubai naturally moved the two of them to the sofa on the other side. Although this is just a small living room, this small is relatively speaking in this villa.
This small living room alone covers an area of more than 60 square meters. It is filled with classical European-style furniture, full of aristocratic elegance and luxury.
"Want some red wine, whiskey, or vodka?" Li Mubai was not a wine lover before, but now he found that each wine has its own culture behind it. By tasting different wines, he can feel the culture of different countries.
Certain characteristics and cultural heritage.
Although Cen Qianjin is a major general, he has rarely participated in such occasions. Even if it has happened before, he was not the protagonist at that time and it was not his turn. But as a typical northern bold man, he
I still prefer stronger wine.
But Ding Shoucheng is not like that. He attends many clubs and social events. Although the quality is not necessarily higher than here, he still has a certain understanding of these types of wines.
Later, Cen Qin brought in a glass of vodka, while Ding Shoucheng brought in a glass of whiskey, and Li Mubai's favorite was red wine.
"There are no outsiders here, so I just said it directly." Li Mubai took a sip of wine and said: "Although some technologies are very advanced, they do not necessarily mean they are suitable for the country. I think both of you should understand the reason for this. I
I once tried to ship German precision machine tools back to China, but unfortunately failed."
This was the first time Li Mubai mentioned it, and it was also because Ding Shoucheng appeared here, and also because a major general appeared. He saw the importance and sincerity in the country, so Li Mubai would naturally not engage in simple and crude tactics.
"Although I didn't get the German precision machine tools back, I didn't gain anything at all." Li Mubai stood up, took the drawings he had just drawn, put them on the table, and said, "Before I give these to you,
I hope the military will sign a confidentiality agreement with me. It’s not that I don’t believe in the military. However, I will not gamble my safety and future with other people’s character. Maybe this sentence sounds selfish, but I also
There are also my difficulties and last resort. I don’t want to say it, and I won’t explain it. This is a necessary condition.”
The drawings in Li Mubai's hand were not completed yet. He pushed them forward and motioned for Cen to take a look.
Less than five minutes after he got it, Cen Qianjin’s eyes shone. As expected of a member of the Standing Committee of the Science and Technology Committee, he could see the value of this drawing at a glance. However, he also discovered that this drawing was not complete, and there were some details.
Critical data and components are missing.
Seeing Cen Qianjin finish reading the drawings, Li Mubai took the drawings on the table into his hands again.
As the two people watched, he turned on the lighter, ignited the drawing in his hand, and let the bright red flames fly up.
"You..." As soon as he said one word, Cen Qianjin swallowed everything he wanted to say next. This drawing belongs to Li Mubai, and the right to deal with it is naturally in his hands. However, this drawing is really
It's so important.
"General Cen, if I can draw one copy, I can naturally draw the second copy." Li Mubai clapped his hands and let the ashes scatter at his feet.
"I don't think I need to elaborate on the value of this drawing. General Cen should know what it means better than I do." Li Mubai picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and continued: "This confidentiality agreement must have at least one
Those who have resigned from the Military Commission include one current member and one who will be next in line.
The Standing Committee of the current term must prepare a letter, and at least three or more heads of the same level in the government must prepare a letter. At the same time, the red stamp of the Military Commission, the Security Department, the Science and Technology Commission, the Working Committee, the Party Committee, and the Government is also required. This is everything.
The premise of cooperation is to protect ourselves, and I hope the two elders will forgive me."
These conditions have been carefully considered by Li Mubai, because in addition to this blueprint, there is another important task. From ancient times to the present, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Li Mubai will never allow his plan to have any consequences.
If a little flaw appears, he will definitely die without a burial place. At that time, no one can save him. It is precisely because of this that he will strangle all possibilities in his infancy.
"This is our first cooperation. I have shown my sincerity. If the country thinks my request is excessive, then I can understand, but I just want to say that many technologies still have time to catch up. If you miss it now, haha..."
Li Mubai did not say the next words, he believed that someone would understand what he wanted to say.
"It's getting late, so you two can just stay here all night." Li Mubai drank the red wine in his glass and said, "In three days, I will go there at the invitation of Prince Abdullah of the royal family of Kuwait.
Relaxation in the Middle East.”
After speaking, Li Mubai opened the door and walked out.
Everything he can say and do has been done and said, and the final result is beyond his control. If this confidentiality agreement is not reached, then he will have to choose another way to serve the motherland. Although later
The difficulties will be great, but Li Mubai will not give up. He also knows very well that his strength alone is far from enough, but without meeting anyone who can fight side by side with him, he has to choose to be alone.
Walking on the road.
A satellite phone was left in the room. Although it was already early in the morning, Cen Qianjin and Ding Shoucheng knew very well that many people in the country were awake and waiting for their news.
When Cen Qianjin got on the phone and gave a complete report on the drawings he saw and Li Mubai's requirements, the other end of the phone was silent for a long time. After a long time, he said in a deep voice that he understood.
There is no instruction. This matter is definitely not something that can be decided by one person or faction. Li Mubai's request covers almost all the authorities that may be involved, whether it is the previous preparation or the subsequent one.
The official seal makes people feel the heavy heart.
How much stimulation does it take to propose such a condition? How much distrust does it take to propose such a crazy condition?
But even so, Li Mubai's attitude was still very clear. It was not that he was unwilling, but that he was afraid.
After listening to Cen Jinjin's report, an ancient general, Yue Fei, appeared in the leader's mind.
Li Mubai is worried that he will become the second Yue Fei!
