Great Britain, atmosphere in the Downing Street office today was even more tense, and Stanley Grafton and others could feel the volcano of anger that was about to erupt from John Major.
That is really very angry!
"Fuck, fuck, why can the East successfully send people to the moon? And bring them back smoothly? What about us? We invest more than a billion pounds every year, but do we just throw that money away?"
"The East publishes their investments every year, and almost all of them are invested in economic development and construction. Look at their big projects, such as the Three Gorges Dam, the Shanghai-Chengdu high-speed railway, the nuclear power plant, and the West-to-East Water and West-to-East Power Transmission Projects. They are all big projects."
"There is almost no investment in aerospace research, only a few hundred million yuan, less than a fraction of ours."
"But look, they have already landed on the moon, and the next step is probably to start a large-scale lunar base construction project."
"Given their Eastern nature of liking farming, the base construction project is almost certain. By then, the moon will be theirs. And you are still laughing here?"
John Major was extremely angry, with a hundred, a thousand complaints. At this moment, all the words that came out of his mouth turned into sharp blades and shot at his subordinates like Stanley Grafton.
Allenbach and the others didn't dare to say a word, and no one dared to interrupt John Major at this time.
Otherwise, John Major would criticize me fiercely, and that would be terrible.
Probably because he had been talking for a long time and felt a little tired, John Major took a sip of water and then continued:
"Stanley, tell me first, is there any way to avoid being surpassed by the Eastern powers in the field of aerospace?"
Stanley Grafton, who was named, was immediately in trouble.
But if he didn't speak or give any suggestions at this time, it would definitely not work, so he racked his brains and stammered, and finally came up with a suggestion that was tolerable.
Learn from North America and cooperate with the Eagle Sauce!
This is a pretty good idea. John Major nodded immediately after hearing this.
In fact, he had already thought of this solution just now. After all, there is such a big commotion in the East now, and he believes that the Eagle Sauce will not turn a blind eye or turn a deaf ear to it.
As long as the Eagle Sauce wants to hold back the East, it will definitely be willing to bring Great Britain along to play with it.
But the Americans now have a hard time expressing their grievances.
why?
Herbert Walker has been through quite a bit lately.
In particular, William Jefferson was assassinated at home and chose to withdraw from the competition.
Although there might not be anything shameful involved, this matter was a huge trouble for Herbert Walker.
This is a big problem, and if you don't handle it well, you will be doomed.
"What else? Alan, tell me."
John Major looked at Ellenbach again, and the latter was instantly speechless.
Good man, he had just prayed not to ask himself, as if he hadn't seen himself.
It turns out that Murphy's Law really applies: what you fear will come true.
Fake!
While John Major and others were busy figuring out how to deal with this matter, Herbert Walker in Washington was really feeling very upset.
My goodness, this time you really don’t want him to complete his re-election comfortably, right?
Ever since Tang Dake was brought back to the fore, Herbert Walker discovered that there was an expert guiding him.
Herbert Walker was still busy putting out fires at this time, trying to minimize the impact of William Jefferson's withdrawal last time.
But as it stands now, it doesn't seem that easy.
Ugh!
Difficult!
Aren't ordinary people in the United States supposed to be forgetful?
Why is William Jefferson so well remembered?
If it weren't for the recent marketing campaign of Lafite in 1982 that swept the world, with Herbert Walker personally taking part and even instigating many people to participate, the negative impact would have been slightly reduced.
But there is still a long way to go before he can achieve re-election.
Now it is that bastard Tang Dake, who has a master behind the scenes directing him, who has been pulling Herbert Walker's braid and won't let go, making the latter really uncomfortable.
But he had no other choice but to feel uncomfortable.
As we approach the end of the year, the last hurdle of this year, I am afraid it will be really sad.
Before, he should have been debating with William Jefferson, but now, facing the young man Tang Dake, Herbert Walker might not be able to win.
What?
Keep thinking of ways!
In Moscow, Nikolayevich also received news from the East that the lunar spacecraft was brought back to the country smoothly.
In other words, this little brother of Dongfang has really become the second in the world.
At the very least, in the field of space exploration and moon landing, apart from the Eagle Sauce, they in the East are the best.
And most importantly, the launch cost in the East is really very low.
They have built two space stations directly in space, one is the Nantianmen Space Station more than 400 kilometers above the ground, and the other is a lunar orbit space station.
Just these two space stations are enough to reduce Eastern's launch costs to just a few million dollars each time.
The cost of each launch in Washington or Moscow is at least tens of millions of dollars. Even if fireworks are set off, it will be at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
Hundreds of millions of dollars are no joke, it's scary!
"When can we build a space cannon? I want to shoot down the Nantianmen Space Station in the east."
In his office in the Kremlin, Nikolayevich looked at everyone and made his shocking remarks.
Everyone was shocked. Oh my god, are we really going to attack other people’s space stations?
Is it possible?
That's really too cruel!
"Mr. President, why don't you reconsider this? There are many high-tech weapons in the East. I'm afraid our weapons can't cause any damage to the Nantianmen Space Station..."
Konstantin, who was standing opposite Nikolayevich, made a bold suggestion.
Nikolayevich is a relatively open-minded person and is relatively open to other people's suggestions, so Konstantin dared to speak like this.
"Don't we have any weapons that can compete with them?" Nikolayevich frowned and said with some displeasure. The Moscow Alliance just collapsed, not all the weapons were destroyed, and the strength was still there.
After all, there is an old Chinese saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Moscow is bad, it is still a big country.
So, after the alliance collapsed, only one tenth of its strength remained?
Constantine heard this and shook his head:
"It's not that we don't have any, but we have too many things to consider. We can't afford to provoke the Eastern power. They are no longer what they used to be."
Is this Nikolayevich still dreaming of becoming a "great power"?
Do you really think that the great Eastern country is made of mud?
You know, the power of today's Eastern superpower is really terrifying, and it is not an existence that can be easily provoked.
What's more, Moscow's alliance has just collapsed. Is it appropriate to make enemies with its next-door neighbor?
Not suitable!
Therefore, most people, including Konstantin, are persuading Nikolayevich to give up that unrealistic idea and first resolve the current economic difficulties in Moscow before discussing other things.
Back in the capital, Chen Guohua had no idea that the outside world was worried about the moon landing. He was currently in the living room of his home, chatting with Song Xuyan and a few others.
"Old Chen, your method is absolutely amazing!"
Gu Baishun gave Chen Guohua a thumbs up, laughed a little exaggeratedly and said:
"You don't know how much the global wine sales have increased dramatically in the past period of time, especially the wine from Gallic Rooster in 1982, which has become a disaster."
As one of the leaders of the Black Gloves, Gu Baishun rarely has a vacation, and it is also rare for him to come to Chen Guohua's home to taste the fine wine in his cellar, so today, Gu Baishun naturally has no taboos and will not return until he is drunk.
The 1982 wine that Gu Baishun mentioned was naturally related to the global wine wave caused by the top beauty and billionaire Margaret in North America some time ago.
I can’t afford the 1982 Lafite, and I’m not even eligible to enter the auction. How can I buy it?
If you can’t afford the 1982 Lafite, can you afford the 1982 Gallican wine?
Of course no problem!
The most important thing in marketing is to have a gimmick, and at the same time, the product needs to be sold successfully.
Sales are certainly not difficult. After all, Qianduoduo supermarkets and other retail stores around the world are not just for show.
Therefore, under this great marketing wave, the sales volume naturally increased very quickly.
There are many updated information on the Internet about the benefits of drinking wine, as well as tips on how to taste and when to drink, etc. There are so many different kinds of information.
All in all, wine is a very popular word during this period.
Logically speaking, Gu Baishun is just the person in charge of the black gloves, so he should not be very clear about these things.
But in fact, he also discovered it by accident.
The underground dark forces that rank high in the world, such as Black Bear, Poison Dragon, Christmas Family, etc., are actually under the control of Gu Baishun.
When these dark forces were handling tasks, words such as 1982 wine and 1982 Lafite frequently appeared, which attracted Gu Baishun's attention.
So he went to Wang Dingzuo to ask for some information and checked it out. Only then did he discover that the sales volume of wine had skyrocketed to such an exaggerated level.
"Need I say more?" Wang Dingzuo, Song Xuyan and others nodded repeatedly and then raised their glasses to indicate that they wanted to drink.
Chen Guohua raised his glass with a smile, clinked glasses with them, and then said:
"Our aerospace engineering and other scientific research projects all require a lot of money. I think the wine project can make money for many years, but the words "1982 wine" can't really be used for many years. This is very different from our liquor."
Wine is a fast-moving consumer product. For such a product, let alone a high unit price, even if the unit price is not high, as long as it sells quickly, the profit will be high.
It’s a pity that beverage companies like Coca-Cola and Pepsi are not so easy to grab, otherwise, you could make more money.
"Old Chen, do you think it's possible for there to be another opportunity to make money like the global financial crisis?"
Gu Baishun suddenly spoke up, and was immediately rejected by Song Xuyan, Wang Dingzuo and others.
funny!
The global financial crisis triggered by Tokyo has not yet completely ended its negative impact, and now they are doing this again. Isn't this killing the goose that lays the golden eggs?
Nowadays, there is no very poor place in the world, and any slightly richer place is being targeted.
Unless a new product or technology is developed, and the new product has enough influence, there will not be enough to share.
"Old Gu, if we're talking about ways to make money, I think organizations like your Dark Night King are more suitable."
Chen Guohua suddenly spoke, which immediately attracted the attention of Gu Baishun, Song Xuyan, Wang Dingzuo and others. Especially Gu Baishun, he asked directly:
"Old Chen, you don't mean to just let them rob, do you?"
This is definitely not right, and how much can you get by robbing? It won't last long.
"Old Gu, you are right, we are going to rob!"
When they heard Chen Guohua say this, Gu Baishun and the others suddenly widened their eyes with disbelief on their faces: Is this true?
Are you really going to rob?
"Of course it's true, you don't think I'm joking?"
Seeing their surprised expressions, Chen Guohua laughed and said:
"It's easy to understand, because I'm just a pure, passionate young man, um, a young and middle-aged man, hahahaha..."
Then, Chen Guohua briefly talked about where one can make money at present.
As for the black gloves, in Chen Guohua's opinion, there are indeed many places where one can make money, such as Tokyo, South Africa, Moscow, Europe, the Middle East and other places.
"How can there still be money in Tokyo? The real estate bubble has burst, so where is the money?"
Gu Baishun widened his eyes in surprise, looked at Chen Guohua, and asked hesitantly.
Song Xuyan said:
"Old Gu, please stop talking. Let Old Chen speak. Just because you don't know something doesn't mean Old Chen doesn't know it either. Although Old Chen has never been to Tokyo, he knows more than us and sees things more clearly."
Seeing this, Gu Baishun had no choice but to wait quietly for Chen Guohua to continue speaking.
It is now 1991. The Tokyo real estate and stock market bubbles have already occurred for more than half a year, and Tokyo's economy has long been in ruins.
But because of this, the whole of Tokyo became very chaotic.
Especially those dark forces that were unwilling to accept this began to become restless.
It is said that corruption breeds many dirty things, and the saying that when you are poor, you will seek change is also applicable to Tokyo at this time.
By the 1990s, dark forces such as the Yamaguchi-gumi had already developed.
Due to the real estate craze in the past few years, a large amount of hot money was attracted to Tokyo, and it also attracted many gold diggers, workers, etc. who came to Tokyo.
There are simply too many people from all over the world who sneak into Tokyo.
For example, people from Northeast China, Peninsula, Haizhou City and many other places all went to Tokyo. (End of this chapter)
