Chapter 1295 They gave too much
The moment Sultan said these words, Rogge became very energetic.
He knew the big one was coming.
The delegation sent by Saudi Arabia to visit China this time has a very high standard and covers a wide range of areas. In addition to the aerospace field, it also includes a series of aspects such as energy, military, scientific research, education, etc.
As a result, even though the superiors had conducted multiple rounds of research and discussions on Saudi Arabia's intentions, a relatively unified conclusion could not be formed 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 cover.
After all, although China's economic aggregate this year is expected to be only three to two, there are too many unpaid debts due to past development. In addition, it is a country with a population of more than one billion, so it is still far from reaching the "enabled" level in all aspects. money” point.
In this case, a high-quality customer who spends generously and does not care about the payment method is extremely attractive to 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 we just do it on a small scale, there may be room for maneuver, but with such large-scale national-level cooperation, no one dares to think wrong.
What's more, this is still foreign exchange and cannot be used directly domestically, so the links involved are even more complicated.
But this does not mean that overseas business is without value.
On the contrary, even if only economic accounts are calculated, superiors will give priority considerations when allocating funds to departments or projects that have the ability to create additional benefits——
Chang Haonan, who didn't have his current status at the beginning, had accumulated a little bit of resources for himself.
And if you take into account political considerations, that's not to mention it.
As the connection between China and the world market has become closer since joining the WTO, and as some industries have "first gone global" in recent years, which has brought huge benefits to the national economy and reputation, superiors have already made plans to further promote changes in the international industrial division of labor. idea.
If this kind of action is implemented in all aspects, it will inevitably encounter a collective backlash from those established developed countries.
Therefore, we can only gradually increase the stakes by boiling the frog in warm water to prolong the relatively stable external environment at this stage, and at the same time continue to create cracks within the opponent's already weak camp.
However, for various industries that are booming in the country, this also means that in terms of receiving support and attention, there must be a first-come, first-served basis.
The Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense took advantage of the east wind and not only became one of the top six institutions in the organization, but also allowed Ding Gaoheng to take another half step forward before retiring. Everyone saw it.
Although that half step is just a side job, who dares to say that they don’t want it.
If we can seize this opportunity, not to mention re-enacting the operation of the Science and Technology Commission, it will at least be a serious political achievement.
And Saudi Arabia came to visit at such a juncture, just to send pillows.
Therefore, Rogge suppressed his excitement and gave the other party a positive but official response:
"We in China 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, jointly conduct research, and make pioneering contributions to mankind's peaceful use of space..."
"..."
Direct investment in the space station will require a permanent foreign astronaut.
Although this matter does not violate the development principles of manned space engineering, the scope of impact when implemented is really too large.
Let alone the second-in-command of the space agency, even Director Sun Yanlai would not be able to make a direct decision.
However, in his view, since Sultan could make such an earth-shattering request, it undoubtedly showed that the real goal of the Saudi delegation's trip was their aerospace industry.
Although the aerospace system has gained a lot of benefits under the Committee of Science and Industry/Committee of Industry and Construction in recent years, Rogge, as an outstanding and highly motivated comrade, does not mind making further progress.
So no matter what, you have to stabilize the other party first.
Even while he was speaking in an official tone, he had already reached out and made a few gestures behind his back, asking an entourage who was following the crowd and not in a conspicuous position to report the situation to the capital.
As much as possible, we will ensure that after today's trip to Qiong Province is over, the two parties will sit down and start negotiations directly.
Don't give the opponent too much time to react.
What if you regret it?
At this time, the translator on the side had already conveyed the somewhat lengthy statement to Sultan.
The latter is actually not a full-time administrative staff, so he was inevitably a little confused after being hit with such a set of slang.
Fortunately, the key words "promoting cooperation" and "willing to communicate" were still captured.
Chinese people speak politely and conform to the stereotype.
So Sultan didn't think much about it and just continued:
"We understand that this matter involves many links, and the cooperation between us has just begun. It is indeed not convenient to involve such an in-depth project in a short period of time..."
When he first heard this, Rogge was quite surprised.
He really didn't expect that the bearded foreigner in front of him with a disgusting face could understand 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?" "Huh?"
The rapidly changing topic almost caused Rogge's brain to shut down, and he subconsciously issued a modal word.
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 is 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 Sultan mentioned just now were those that the bureau and the Industrial 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 will 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 entire Islamic world to launch satellites, and we hope to be the first country in the Islamic world to do so. astronauts into space”
"That's it..."
Rogge replied with emotion——
It's all a struggle.
What a fierce struggle.
