Chapter 211, Aucma Small Friction Fish Nest Fighter

February 28, 1960, the second day of the second month in the lunar calendar, is the day when the dragon raises its head.

The Dragon Raising its Head Festival is commonly known as the Qinglong Festival, also known as the Spring Ploughing Festival, the Agricultural Festival, and the Spring Dragon Festival. It is a traditional Chinese folk festival and occupies a very important position in the hearts of ancient farmers.

In the north, where the drought is more severe, many farmers can't help but look bitter when they see the cloudless blue sky.

Today is clearly the Spring Ploughing Festival, but the scene of "the rain falling on the streets as soft as butter" has not come yet. How can we start the spring ploughing?

Not only the farmers are worried, but many leaders in Lingjing Hutong are also worried.

Today, the leaders of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street came to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and walked into one of the courtyards.

There are many researchers, professors, experts, etc. in this courtyard, including many members of the Meteorological Bureau. They gathered together mainly to find a way to solve a problem: artificial rainfall!

Artificial rainmaking technology is no longer new abroad.

As early as 1946, Sam scientist Vincent began conducting artificial rainmaking experiments. He tried to increase precipitation by spreading specific substances, such as dry ice and silver iodide, into the clouds to promote the growth and condensation of cloud droplets.

In 1958, artificial rainmaking operations were carried out in our country for the first time, marking an important step for our country's artificial rainmaking technology to move from experiments to practical applications.

However, artificial rainmaking has many limitations, especially the requirements for air humidity and cloud thickness within a certain range.

But in the north, take Beijing for example, never mind the humidity, the sky is always blue and there is rarely any cloudy weather.

Even if it is cloudy, it will not rain. Who knows how much dry ice needs to be spread to make it possible for rain to occur?
But our country is extremely short of resources right now, how can we waste them at will?
"Professor Wang, Professor He, how is the technology improving now?"

The leaders are very concerned and anxious.

The Dragon Raising its Head has arrived. If it doesn’t rain, spring plowing will definitely be delayed.

Spring plowing is a big event because it is related to the grain harvest, and it is impossible not to pay attention to it.

"There are still several key equipment and technical points that we haven't mastered yet. The main reason is that they were delivered too late and the time was too tight. We have been working overtime for more than a month."

Hearing Professor Wang's words, the leader smiled bitterly but said nothing.

It’s not that the technology and equipment were delivered too late, but that the leaders were short of money. These technologies, equipment, and related materials had to be obtained on credit.

The contract is still written in black and white, I can't leave.

It is impossible for Zhao Mancang to destroy the transaction between the two parties personally, because if he did so, he would not be able to gain experience points from Ma Jiugong and others.

You know, every time I trade with Ma Jiugong and the others, I can gain at least three or four hundred experience points, and at most thousands.

Such a tool person is really qualified, so Zhao Mancang must seize the opportunity.

The emergence of credit books is due to the increase in the number of transactions between the two parties, the friendship that exists, and the high level of trust, which makes this possible.

The artificial rainmaking equipment and related materials were transported from Sam to North America. Ma Jiugong and his team didn't know the hardships involved, but the prices were low, and the key was that they could be purchased through "barter", which was a great deal.

Less than a week after the leaders inspected the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the first experiment was carried out in the area around Beijing.

At the border between Beijing and Tianjin, a heavy rain finally occurred, causing pools of water to appear on the long-dry land.

The creek was no longer dry, but flooded.

What a rare downpour it was, it lasted for more than an hour.

Moreover, this cloud layer also drifted in other directions, attracting many clouds to gather together.

Many planes appeared in the sky, and F104 supersonic fighter jets were also dispatched to carry out the artificial rainmaking project, and at the same time to familiarize themselves with fighter jets.

Heavy rainstorms occurred in several areas around the capital, providing some support for spring plowing.

But the bad news is that after the transaction with Zhao Mancang was completed, the artificial rainmaking materials were quickly consumed, with nothing left.

Ma Jiugong and Yuan Yushan received another order from above, asking them to contact "Comrade Li" and provide more artificial rainmaking materials next time.

In fact, there are many factories that can produce materials such as silver iodide, but the raw materials behind these materials also take time to mine and process.

However, there are so many drought-stricken areas across the country that we simply cannot wait.

On the day when the Dragon Raises its Head, Zhao Mancang had already appeared on the streets of Manhattan. Randolph Daniel, the head of the New York branch of "Women's Health", standing opposite him, was giving a work report.

Randolph had previously been to Hong Kong and Kowloon, where he helped lead a team of accountants to assist in the acquisition of six banks, including the Chinese Bank.

Zhao Mancang saw the other party's contribution, so promotion and salary increase were essential.

It's a bit difficult to get a promotion because the other person is already the head of the New York branch. We can't transfer him back to the Hong Kong and Kowloon headquarters to work, right?

To be honest, the magazine "Women's Health" is now at a point where it is not far from being split up.

why?
Because the sales of "Women's Health" in New York are almost reaching 35,000 copies per issue, and it is not far from 40,000 copies.

In other words, the influence of "Women's Health" magazine is already very high, so at this time it pays more attention to regional operations.

Although Hong Kong and Kowloon are also English-speaking places, their cultural attributes are different after all. This colonial city has a stronger Confucian culture.

On the other hand, New York has a purely Western bald eagle culture, and conflicts can easily arise between the two sides.

Of course, despite such cultural differences, the Hong Kong and Kowloon editorial teams have contributed greatly to the fact that "Women's Health" has achieved an impressive sales volume of 35,000 copies per issue in New York.

Zhao Mancang still hasn't figured out how to cut it specifically.

The Hong Kong and Kowloon Headquarters is, after all, the headquarters. If the branches are too strong, it will only make the headquarters appear weak and incompetent, which is definitely not acceptable.

Zhao Mancang was struggling over whether he should move the headquarters directly to New York.

Then New York will coordinate the development of Hong Kong Island and Great Britain.

After Randolph finished his report, Zhao Mancang had already made his decision.

"Randolph, since the New York branch of Women's Wear has done so well under your leadership, I believe you can definitely do even better. I will give you six months to set up the editorial department of the New York branch. In the future, the three sections of our Women's Wear magazine will be managed by your New York branch."

Randolph was overjoyed when he heard this.

According to the boss's instructions, for the part of "Women's Wear" published in New York, their New York branch will be responsible for the editing of three major sections, except for the other sections which remain unchanged.

As long as this loophole is opened, then the entire editing work of "Women's Health" in New York will probably be completed by their New York branch in the future.

How should I put it? This is a very good thing.

In this way, in the future, the sales of each issue of their New York branch will top the entire "Women's Wear" company, and even the headquarters may be moved from Hong Kong and Kowloon to New York.

After all, Hong Kong and Kowloon are just colonial cities with a population of just over three million, of which only over 200,000 are British.

It's impossible that every one of the more than 200,000 British people will buy "Women's Wear"?

Even so, the market in New York is so huge, and the national population is over 180 million. As long as a few hundred thousand of them buy it, the New York branch will be invincible.

Anyway, for now, the advantage is on the side of the New York branch.

Zhao Mancang could understand Randolph's happiness, but he did not spend too much time on "Women's Wear".

Because this magazine is just a casual move of his. If it is useful, that would be great. If not, he can just consider it as some pocket money.

People like Orley have already entered Wall Street, and it's time for them to start making trouble.

On the outskirts of Long Island, in a very ordinary construction office, used as a temporary training room, a financial brokerage company named Aucma was born.

Aucma is no different from other financial brokerage firms on Wall Street. They earn commissions by making phone calls and asking people to invest in stocks they recommend.

Referring to the movie The Wolf of Wall Street, Zhao Mancang only wants to build this company into that kind of enterprise, with only one goal: to make money!

At the beginning, Aucma started in Long Island, and after it became successful, it moved to Wall Street.

Anyway, recommending others to buy stocks is legal for the time being, and all procedures are formal.

As long as you don't overdo it, it's not a big problem.

In addition to this company, Zhao Mancang also invested in related companies such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. He did not invest in some companies with exaggerated market capitalization.

For example, IBM. He does not have sufficient funds now and is not suitable to hold shares of this company.

Because this company has long been a big player in the industry, it has even been sued for monopoly in a federal court. You can imagine how powerful IBM is.

Such a company has a very high market value, so it is certainly not suitable to invest in at this time.

In addition to investing in these companies, Zhao Mancang also invested in a number of laboratories as he also wanted to obtain relevant technologies.

These technologies can be patented by his company and then licensed to other supplier factories to complete the processing.

For example, Mario Aviation, this company needs a lot of aviation-related technologies. Then there is the Causeway Bay auto parts factory in Hong Kong and Kowloon, which also needs a lot of auto-related technologies.

Zhao Mancang now has a global layout and invests all over the world, mainly in North America and Great Britain.

After staying in New York for more than a week, Zhao Mancang came to California and met with Zhuang Xiaoting as soon as possible.

The latter's expression was quite interesting. One moment he was very surprised, and then his face drooped.

After a fierce struggle with the other party, Zhao Mancang left after dinner as he did before.

I am always busy with business and never have more time to spend with each other.

"A bit of a scumbag."

At this time, Zhao Mancang didn't know whether he wanted the other party to have a boyfriend or not.

He had clearly told her that he would not marry her, but Zhuang Xiaoting seemed to have set her sights on him and was determined to marry no one else.

Fortunately, Zhuang Xiaoting is still young, only twenty-two or twenty-three years old, still young.

If we look at it from the perspective of future generations, of course it is the young people.

But in this day and age, most people get married at the age of sixteen. Even in the colonial city of Hong Kong and Kowloon, many people get married early.

After separating from Zhuang Xiaoting, Zhao Mancang began to make large-scale purchases, mainly purchasing materials related to artificial rainmaking, food, generator equipment and new energy power generation technology.

Although these all require a lot of money, especially new energy technologies such as wind power, solar power and other power generation technologies, they may not be able to be acquired, but everything depends on human efforts.

It took Zhao Mancang a week to purchase the relevant materials he needed. All the materials were transported directly to the warehouse at Medford Airport, and then some were sent back to Tokyo or Hong Kong and Kowloon by shipping, while some were transported by himself using the system space.

Before leaving, Zhao Mancang left a piece of intelligence information to Sam's intelligence agency, that is, there is a businessman in Moscow who wants to sell a large amount of rutile.

Zhao Mancang still had a lot of rutile, and he had not sold it all before.

Last year, he last traded with the arms dealer Francis in the waters near Hawaii, but the rutile was not sold at all because he had discovered what was behind the other party, which was a scam.

Since it was a scam, it was impossible for Zhao Mancang to take all the rutile to Hawaii.

It is now March 1960, and Zhao Mancang can no longer wait. It is time to sell some of the rutile.

Otherwise, the rutile in his hands would be a waste of money.

A few days later, at the Tianjin Wharf, Zhao Mancang conducted a transaction with Ma Jiugong and others and brought back a batch of artificial rainmaking equipment, generators and food that they urgently needed.

It is spring now, and the above-mentioned supplies are all things that are in urgent need in our country, and can even be said to be necessary.

The remaining batches of supplies can only wait, because it will take ten days to half a month for sea transportation to reach the Tokyo port or Lingguang County warehouse.

There is no rush.

Anyway, the supplies coming from Sam will not be inspected, whether in Tokyo or Lingguang County.

Zhao Mancang did not stay here. After finishing the transaction with Ma Jiugong and others, he returned to Lingguang County and asked the person in charge to ship out the supplies needed by Wanjia Supermarket.

Wanjia Supermarket currently has three stores in California, and the fourth and fifth stores are under construction. The relevant supermarket managers, sales clerks, etc. are also already in internship.

As long as the fourth and fifth stores open, these employees will be able to take over.

The dual-post system is currently a feature of Wanjia Supermarket. As the company is expanding, the sixth and seventh stores are already in the process of looking for locations, and the eighth and ninth stores are almost ready for planning.

With sufficient funds and all profits retained, Wanjia Supermarket's development is of course quite rapid.

Therefore, in the future, more and more goods will be sent out from Lingguang County.

In order to share the pressure, Zhao Mancang will have to ship the goods from Hong Kong Island and Tokyo.

Especially in Tokyo, their trade exchanges with Sam are becoming more and more frequent, and the goods sent from here will not arouse Sam's suspicion.

Therefore, it is very necessary to invest in a trading company in Tokyo.

However, these do not attract much attention for the time being. Zhao Mancang has now arrived in Moscow to prepare for the subsequent sale of rutile.

Central Moscow, Tomsk Oblast, Kargasov region.

It is March now, and the temperature in Hong Kong and Kowloon is already over 20 degrees Celsius, but here it is still below zero, and there is even heavy snow.

Zhao Mancang, with only his two eyes exposed, has been here for two days but has not seen anyone from Sam Intelligence Agency.

"These bastards are so slow, aren't they? I've done so much, and they haven't shown up yet?"

Zhao Mancang, cursing, came to the meeting address he had previously arranged for the SAM Intelligence Agency personnel, wanting to check whether the SAM people had arrived.

No need to ask, of course he didn’t come!
"Are they planning to buy it for free?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Mancang's face suddenly turned ugly.

When doing business with Sam's people, you have to be more careful, otherwise the other party may either rob you directly or use force to pressure you.

Just as Zhao Mancang was waiting patiently, on the other side, nearly twenty SAM intelligence personnel had already arrived in the Kargaso area and searched this ghost place many times.

Since they did not find any information about rutile, they all went into seclusion.

In the United States, rutile is indeed a very precious mineral, but even the United States Intelligence Agency agents in Moscow have no idea what rutile can be used for. At most, they know that titanium dioxide can be refined into titanium metal, but they don't know anything about titanium alloys.

These SAM intelligence agents did not know any information about titanium alloys, so naturally there was no possibility of leaking the information.

At most, it just lets people in Moscow know that rutile can be refined into titanium metal.

Since rutile is not a mineral so precious that it requires high confidentiality, it is impossible for the news from the Kargas region to be blocked so tightly.

However, a few days ago, before Zhao Mancang arrived here, the agents of the Sam Intelligence Agency had already plowed the entire area several times.

Even the KGB agents who came following the scent showed up.

The two sides had several frictions and competitions over this matter, with both sides winning and losing. After all, no matter how strong Sam's agents were, they were playing away games, so it was understandable that they could not defeat the KGB.

Unfortunately, Zhao Mancang didn't know any of this, because he thought the people at Sam's Intelligence Agency were slow to react. "The message from headquarters has been delivered. Let's plow this place again. If there is nothing, then we will withdraw."

A dozen SAM intelligence agents gathered together, their expressions becoming serious.

After hearing the commander's words, someone immediately complained:

"God, those fat guys, what do they know? Besides drinking coffee and reading the newspaper, what else can they do? The entire Kargas region is huge, but we've checked every place that could possibly hold over 30,000 tons of rutile. There's no way."

This makes sense, but the officer sneered:
"Are you questioning the higher-ups' decision by spouting all this nonsense? Have you forgotten that mysterious man from last year? How did he manage to steal over 50,000 tons of rutile in one night?"

All the agents in the room fell silent.

Everyone frowned, obviously a little scared and finding it hard to imagine.

The KGB worked hard for a long time last year, but found nothing about the more than 50,000 tons of missing rutile, not even a trace of it.

This incident was a major blow to the KGB, but it was also a major blow to the agents of the SAM Intelligence Agency.
None of them could guarantee that if they encountered that mysterious man, they would not be able to escape unscathed.

"Take a ten-minute break. After ten minutes, we'll start the action. Is that okay?"

Once the commander spoke, everyone had no choice but to agree, no matter how dissatisfied they were.

At the same time, where the KGB agents were, they were also holding a meeting.

"Our intelligence personnel just reported today that the agents from the Sam Intelligence Agency are here because they received a message from a mysterious person who wants to complete the transaction with the Sam people for the remaining 30,000 tons of rutile."

The KGB had enough channels to obtain information, and it didn't take too long.

In fact, they have been fighting with SAM Intelligence Agency for so many years, and of course they have infiltrated each other long ago, and there are countless double agents.

Agents are human beings too, and undercover agents are also human beings.

As long as one is a human being, he or she will have weaknesses and will be greedy. The emergence of all intelligence is actually the result of weighing the pros and cons.

As for the so-called national loyalty?

Even a dog wouldn’t recognize this thing!
The KGB agents were immediately in an uproar, and several of them even had tears in their eyes. They hurriedly asked their superiors whether the news was true.
Because for these agents, catching the mysterious man is their job, and besides that, it is also about honor, revenge, etc.

Due to the more than 50,000 tons of rutile that Zhao Mancang moved from Moscow last year, the KGB agents suffered a heavy blow, and many people were killed and injured in the process of investigating the case.

After all, if they want to solve the case and track down the suspect, conflicts are inevitable. Especially when they learned that the final destination of the rutile was Sam, they wanted to rush into the North American continent and kill all those Sam Intelligence Agency agents.

"The information is definitely true. You don't need to doubt it. Now let's discuss how to find this mysterious person and capture him."

The KGB agents offered suggestions one after another, and after more than an hour of discussion, they finally came up with a more detailed and specific plan: call for help!

That night, all KGB agents and SAM Intelligence Agency agents set out to conduct another carpet search in the Kargaso area.

In addition to these two groups of people, there is also a hidden ghost, that is, Gabrek, an agent of the third-party British Sixth Bureau.

As a Great British, Gabrek is the top agent of their Sixth Bureau, code-named Ghost, and his strength is comparable to Ghost.

Because he is one of the strongest agents, he was sent to the Kargaso area to see what Sam and Moscow were trying to do.

A total of three groups of people appeared in the streets and alleys of the Kargaso area, but these people came lightly and searched very quietly without disturbing anyone.

Zhao Mancang, who was hiding near the agreed address for surveillance, was almost out of patience. Then he suddenly heard gunshots and woke up instantly.

"Finally took the bait?"

Zhao Mancang was extremely excited. He hurried out of his warm little nest, put the hut into his space, and then quickly walked towards the source of the gunshot.

He specially built this warm little nest because there is a lot of snow in this damn place called Kargaso. Although it is March, the latitude here is too high. Even if it is the real dog days of summer, there will only be about a month of summer, and it will soon enter the quick-freeze mode.

Therefore, in the Kargas region, which is still very cold in March, if Zhao Mancang doesn't want to freeze into a popsicle, he must make a warm nest. Otherwise, how can he carry out surveillance?

"Someone?"

Just as Zhao Mancang approached the scene of the incident, he suddenly discovered that there was a third party.

I guess he wants to do something like the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind. But if you want to be the oriole, you need to have the ability.

Gabrak did not notice Zhao Mancang, but he felt palpitations in his heart and his palms were sweating, which meant that there was someone stronger than him nearby.

Every time he encountered such a situation, he was very clear that he was being targeted.

This is not a good thing!

Zhao Mancang had no interest in Gabrak, because after just observing for a while, he knew that there was only one person on the other side.

There are not many people who come to the Kargaso area alone. Zhao Mancang is one of them, and Gabrak, who has strong concealment skills, is another one.

Agent Sam and the KGB who broke out in conflict in front were Zhao Mancang's targets.

However, Zhao Mancang did not expect that these Sam agents were so incompetent that they were discovered by the KGB so quickly, and it seemed that the Sam agents were losing ground.

"What a waste of labor! I didn't expect Sam to be so weak in the Kargas region. He still wants to buy my rutile? You're dreaming!"

Seeing that Agent Sam was beaten back again and again, and even at the cost of three casualties, Agent Sam broke through the encirclement and escaped, ending this hasty and quick little friction, Zhao Mancang commented speechlessly.

The minor friction was over, and Gabrak was planning to slip away, but Zhao Mancang didn't want to let him go.

Half an hour later, Zhao Mancang blocked Gabrak in a warehouse in the Kargaso area.

"Friend, you've been chasing me for so long, isn't it time for you to come out and meet me?"

Gabrak was very depressed and wanted to hit someone.

He always wanted to get rid of Zhao Mancang behind him, but the latter was very strong, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not get rid of Zhao Mancang.

Helplessly, he could only lure Zhao Mancang to this silent warehouse, intending to kill Zhao Mancang here.

"Haha, I advise you to surrender. I don't want to hurt you, but I don't want to see you either." Zhao Mancang's voice came from all directions, and Gabrak's face changed suddenly.

In fact, he knew that Zhao Mancang was very difficult and extremely dangerous, but he did not expect him to be so unpredictable.

Bang bang bang!
In fear, Gabrek fired first. When Zhao Mancang heard the sound, he was immediately happy.

He thought Gabrak could hold on for a while, but he didn't expect that the other party would lose his mind after just a short fight.

It seems that breaking down someone's defense is actually that simple.

Zhao Mancang did not give the other party any chance. After the other party fired a shot, he also fired two shots, directly hitting the other party's thigh and gun-holding arm.

Two consecutive shots, almost without any order, hit his thigh and arm.

It was obvious that he wanted to save my life and capture me alive.

Gabrek's expression changed drastically. On the one hand, he knew very well that he would most likely be treated inhumanely if he was captured alive, but on the other hand, he did not want to die.

No one is free from greed and fear, but only those who have experienced it will understand how beautiful life is.

Thinking of his wife, children, and the money he had accumulated over the years, Gabrek fought back with all his might, but he tried his best to save his own life.

However, all this was in vain because he was facing Zhao Mancang.

What's more, to Zhao Mancang, Gabrak was like a target. He could hit him when he wanted to, or rest when he wanted to. The initiative was in his hands.

After a few minutes, Gabrek was forced to raise the white flag of surrender.

He just wanted to live, but didn't want Zhao Mancang to continue shooting him. Otherwise, he might really die here from excessive blood loss.

"You've been holding out for so long, you're really tough. I thought you'd hold out to the end, haha!"

Zhao Mancang laughed, then said in a cold voice:

"Turn over, lie face down, spread out your limbs, and have no weapons in your hands or mouth."

In this way, Gabrak was captured alive by Zhao Mancang.

After controlling the opponent, Zhao Mancang immediately gave him a few injections, which directly paralyzed him.

I didn't faint, but except for my brain, my limbs were completely unable to move.

Only then did Zhao Mancang feel at ease to interrogate the other party.

What Zhao Mancang had never expected was that the other party was so cooperative that he actually revealed his identity.

It's unexpected, but quite reasonable.

A British agent? Codename Ghost?
Zhao Mancang frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't decide what to do.

The next day, Zhao Mancang finally made up his mind. He planned to trade rutile with Great Britain and inform Great Britain of the news about rutile.

"I have some news, but you have to pay for it. Is that okay?"

Gabrak looked at himself and saw that he was tied up tightly, rolled his eyes and said: I don’t think I have the right to refuse?
I am at the mercy of others. If he could resist, he would not accept Zhao Mancang's proposal.

Unfortunately, he was no match for Zhao Mancang.

"Fifty million dollars for a piece of news worth tens of billions of dollars, how about that? Isn't that a good deal?"

When Gabrek heard what Zhao Mancang said, he was shocked. Damn, 50 million US dollars?

Even if we sell him, he's not worth 50 million US dollars!
As for the news worth tens of billions of dollars, haha, so what?

Who knows whether the so-called news of tens of billions of US dollars is just Zhao Mancang’s nonsense?
However, Gabrek had no right to refuse. He had to cooperate with Zhao Mancang and send the information back to the British Bureau 6, or use his own small treasury to purchase the information.

How to choose is a very simple matter.

However, Gabrek used another piece of information about the KGB to pay for the 50 million US dollars, that is, information in exchange for information.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang immediately asked with interest, "Then tell me first, what exactly is the news?"

If possible, Zhao Mancang still wanted to sell the rutile to the British, because he really didn't want to trade rutile with the Samians now.

But the British didn't know anything about rutile, and he couldn't guarantee whether the British would still spend a lot of money to buy rutile after knowing the specific information about rutile.

In short, in order to sell the remaining 30,000 tons of rutile, Zhao Mancang had to try every possible way and means.

"I know that in Moscow they hid about ten tons of gold on a street in the capital."

Upon hearing Gabrak's news, Zhao Mancang rolled his eyes in annoyance:
"Fuck, do you want me to die? It's just ten tons of gold, and you want me to take risks? You underestimate me, don't you?"

Ten tons of gold is equivalent to 350,000 ounces. At the current price of US$38 per ounce, the total value is only US$13.3 million.

He just asked for 50 million US dollars to buy a piece of information, and ten tons of gold is not easily available. How could he agree to it?

Faced with ten tons of gold, these people in Moscow may not send out the KGB, but may directly dispatch a small force to protect it.

Although Zhao Mancang was conceited, he did not want to provoke such a force, and he disdained to provoke more killings for no reason. It was just ten tons of gold, and he really didn't think much of it.

There is not much gold in the world. As far as the current global situation is concerned, Sam has the largest gold reserves, with at least 20,000 tons of gold.

Because after World War II, when the Bretton Woods system was established, the reason why the US dollar was pegged to gold was because they had more than 800 million ounces of gold reserves.

The second place should be Moscow, whose gold reserves are more than 3,000 tons.

"Sir, you have to know that that is ten tons of gold." Gabrak wanted to persuade Zhao Mancang, but the latter was not a fool, so he refused directly.

There was no choice, so Gabrek had to continue to tell other news, but most of the news he told was rejected by Zhao Mancang.

It's like getting more than a dozen extremely important pieces of information for free.

After the other party finished speaking, Zhao Mancang still insisted that the other party contact British Office 6 to get money to purchase the information, or let Gabrek buy it himself.

But that seems unlikely.

Zhao Mancang didn't care about these things and made a decision for the other party directly, asking him to contact British Bureau 6, or to deal with him now.

In order to survive, Gabrak had no choice but to 'compromise'.

A day later, Zhao Mancang took Gabrak, who was knocked unconscious by him, away from the Kargas region and came to the city of Moscow, near the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

Among the many pieces of information Gabrek told us was information about the MiG-21 fighter.

The MiG-21 fighter jet, nicknamed "Fish Nest", was a fighter jet designed and developed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau in and was equipped to the troops in .

Zhao Mancang now really wants to obtain all the relevant technical data and parameters of this aircraft, and it would be best if he could get their test fighter jet.

These latest fighter jets developed by Moscow were already in mass production at the Sokel Manufacturing Plant in Gorky in the second half of 1958.

Faced with such a fighter jet, Zhao Mancang was of course drooling over it.

Mario Aviation is developing related passenger aircraft and is in great need of such fighter technology. Moreover, the technical data of the MiG-21 fighter jet that has been sorted out by Mario Aviation and sold to Sam Intelligence Agency can also be sold to Ma Jiugong and others at a low price. It's like killing three birds with one stone, which is really great.

In other words, our domestic industrial foundation is too weak now, and even forcing it to grow will be of no avail. Otherwise, Zhao Mancang would have wanted to help a long time ago.

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, Zhao Mancang has already overcome the most basic needs such as physiological needs and safety needs. At this stage, he is at the two top levels of respect needs and self-worth realization needs.

At this level of needs, Zhao Mancang would not be so superficial and simple when considering things.

Of course, there is no rush for these. What Zhao Mancang needs to complete most now is the technical data and original model of the MiG-21 fighter.

Gabrek, the British agent, was thrown by Zhao Mancang in an ordinary detached house in the suburbs of Moscow and given an anesthetic injection. He would definitely not wake up while he was out on a mission.

After making sure there were no worries, Zhao Mancang took action.

The Mikoyan Design Bureau office is heavily guarded, and it is quite difficult to sneak in here without being noticed.

But for Zhao Mancang, the problem is not big.

It took Zhao Mancang two nights to determine the technical data of the MiG-21 Fishbed fighter. Because it was too scattered, he could only find a way to find the location of the original test aircraft model before taking action.

Because once he alerts the enemy, he will most likely lose everything.

At a military base airport in the suburbs of Moscow, Zhao Mancang finally saw the test aircraft model.

"It's fucked up. Someone even inspected this plane at night?"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Mancang was completely stunned. Why was it so difficult for him to take the plane away?
"Forget it, forget it. Let's get the technical data first, erase all traces, and then take the original model away. Finally, we'll go to the Sokel Manufacturing Plant."
