Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 268 Agreed in principle! (First update!)

"Is it really that useful?" Hao Jin questioned. He didn't know if the thing was useful or not, but he did know that it was very useful for causing destruction.

There was no way to stop them!

There's no way to stop it!
After a period of data verification and comparison, they discovered that the only way to stop these things was to take action against the manufacturers.

The disclosure of related software algorithms is strictly prohibited.

Across from him, Fang Yaoguo nodded vigorously, confirming the matter once again: "It works very well!"

Having received his confirmation, Hao Jin's curiosity did not dissipate; instead, it became even more serious.
"Then what are your plans next?"

"To meet that living father?"

"Speaking of which, he had just called me before you came to see me and said something that really made me lose my composure."

Do you want to listen?

Hearing Hao Jin call Lin Yi "living father," Fang Yaoguo was a little flustered, but when he heard Lin Yi say something that made people even more flustered, he immediately became interested.

He sat up straight, looking quite interested: "Tell me about it!"

"He asked me to apply for permission for him to manufacture and launch satellites and rockets!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a collective gasp of astonishment rang out from the other side.

The sound was so long that it made the temperature in the room drop a few degrees.

After inhaling deeply and exhaling heavily, Fang Yaoguo asked, panting:

"What does he want to do?"

"Does he want to launch a satellite?"

"No, the documents he provided earlier stated that the drone he had was not yet fully operational and required satellite positioning and navigation!"

"Is he planning to turn this thing into its complete form?"

"Is he crazy?"

"The country started developing a navigation system in 02, cooperating with France. We were cheated for a long time before we finally decided to develop BeiDou."

"We've barely gotten any results yet, and he... he just went straight for it?"

"I don't know!" Hao Jin shrugged and answered quickly.
"He just told me to apply, and I don't know how far he's gotten."

"Moreover, whether it will work out or not is another matter."

After hearing Hao Jin's words, Fang Yaoguo slowly closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and then suddenly opened them again:
"So, what do the higher-ups think of this kid?"

When asked about the opinions of his superiors once again, Hao Jin rolled his eyes and then began to put on airs:
"No need, that would be a waste."

"Use it, this kid has inexhaustible energy, he's always messing around, it's so annoying."

After observing his pretentious manner, Fang Yaoguo patted himself down, smoothing out the wrinkles in his clothes:

"I'll go talk to my supervisor about this and see if I can get through to them."

"Anyway, we were planning to collaborate with this kid's company on research and development."

"If this can be accomplished and the results are good, it will be more convenient for our comrades when they are operating abroad."

Fang Yaoguo took the responsibility upon himself, and Hao Jin was happy to see it happen, since he had been working overtime for the past two days and was almost exhausted.

If he goes to see his supervisor again, the supervisor will have to give him more work.

Hao Jin took back the documents he had just given to Fang Yaoguo, putting them away neatly one by one, and nodded with his chin:
"Then I'll head back first and call that kid while I'm at it?"

"You're just saying that!" Fang Yaoguo snorted, rejecting Hao Jin's suggestion, then held out his hand: "Give me his phone number, I'll contact him directly later!"

"Okay!" After copying Lin Yi's phone number to Fang Yaoguo, Hao Jin turned around and left with the documents.

After he disappeared in front of the office building, a young man walked towards the jeep from a distance, opened the driver's side door, and plopped down inside.

After adjusting the seat and seatbelt, the young man looked in the rearview mirror:

"Boss, where are we going?"

"Go find the leader!"

"Alright! Hold on tight!" The jeep roared, did a drift in the parking space, then slammed on the gas and sped out of the security bureau gates onto the highway!
On the other side, Suzhou.

Lin Yi stood by the phone for a long time, but did not receive a reply from Hao Jin. He sighed, took out his phone, and sent a message to Eisent.

This guy has already established connections in the Middle East; we might be able to extract some useful information from him.

Holding the phone in both hands, taking a deep breath, a reason comes to mind:
[Mr. Eisent, I've noticed something's off in the Middle East these past few days. Is war brewing? Also, could you help me find a way to escape?]

After sending the message, Lin Yi stared intently at his phone, waiting for a response from the other end.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the other party finally replied.

[Yes! We're going to take on Iran! Don't tell me your bunch of boring relatives have gone to Iran again!]

This is the effect you want!

What I want is for the other party to think that I have relatives in Iran!

Lin Yi edited a crying emoji with letters, sent the emoji, and immediately added a message.

There's no way around it, Japan can't support so many people. If my parents weren't still alive, I would have already immigrated to America.

My aunt is in Iran. My previous relatives were near Saudi Arabia, where they made money, and my aunt wanted to make money too.

She didn't go to Saudi Arabia; she went to Iran alone.

They said it was hard-earned money, and they've been sending us messages these past two days.

I say I'm afraid of fighting, but I'm even more afraid of coming back, so I wanted to find you, Mr. Eisent, to inquire about the specifics.

If war really breaks out, I'll send my aunt back; at least she'll be alive!

Kuwait, Arifjan's military camp.

Eisent looked at the long string of messages that had just arrived, sighed softly, typed out two comforting messages, and sent them over casually:

I'm afraid I can't arrange that for you!

The 5th Fleet has blockaded the Strait of Hormuz, and missiles are ready. The UAE and Turkey have also shut down flights transiting through Dubai to Iran.

The only way your aunt can leave is by car.

The only countries you can leave from are Turkey and Uzbekistan. Forget about Pakistan; it's too chaotic there.

Therefore, my personal suggestion is that you contact your aunt and tell her to quickly stockpile supplies and stay at home until the war is over.

The message had barely been sent when Lin Yi sent his message back:
How long will that last?

Eisent instinctively wanted to answer the question, but after typing a few letters, he stopped.

This...this is confidential.

But he quickly dismissed the idea, because the people on the other side were using that piece of junk software developed by America's military.

If you can get the software installation package, it means the other party is one of your own.

Of course, these are just people categorized as "our own people," not truly "our own people." Some information that is supposedly confidential but is actually dispensable can be revealed.

When it comes to the crucial moment, you have to betray your own people.

After recalling the relevant intelligence, Eisent avoided direct questions and, using the most tactful language possible, carefully crafted the message before sending it:
[War will break out, but it won't be too intense; it will just be a long-lasting conflict, continuing until Iran agrees to our demands. These are General Benjamin's exact words.]

Suzhou.

Lin Yi read Eisent's last message over and over again, and finally his anxiety subsided.

This is a tactic that America often uses when dealing with tough nuts to crack.

Launch a fierce attack first. If we can take it, we can occupy it like we did in Iraq.

If they can't take it, then they'll stall. After all, America was once the world's leading industrial power, with countless engineers and technologies at its disposal.

If this drags on, America can definitely hold out, but their opponents absolutely cannot.

Once the opponent can no longer hold out, they can take the opportunity to blackmail them and obtain more favorable conditions.

America used this tactic countless times, from World War I to World War II and then to the Cold War, and succeeded in all of them except for the one time it failed on the Korean Peninsula.

This time, the strategy against Iran is likely an attempt to replicate past successes.

Otherwise, America would have to fight on four fronts.

No, frontline combat.

From Syria to Iraq, then from Iraq to Iran, and then from Iran to Afghanistan, these four countries form a line.

Even a country like America can't withstand fighting on multiple fronts.

Therefore, after the war begins, they will definitely leak information to Iran and offer them a way out.

Iran has already taken the initiative to seek peace, and now that it has another way out, it will only kneel down even faster. In order to show its determination, Iran will definitely reveal some important information.

of course.

It definitely couldn't be information about their nuclear weapons, so that leaves only other information.

For example, their own aortic communication base station is given to foreigners, or to their henchmen.

In short, Iran is determined to sell!

Having reached this conclusion, Lin Yi took a deep breath and sent another message to Eisent:
Thank you, Mr. Eisent. I'll contact my aunt right away and tell her to stock up on food.

[To express my gratitude, I will not charge you for designing this defense system!]

【goodbye! 】

After sending the message, Lin Yi found Little Sader's contact information and sent him a message directly:

【exist? 】

Sadr was probably on his phone; the message was sent and the other party replied immediately:

Yes, what's up?

With his fingers tapping the keyboard, Lin Yi sent the information he had just received, along with his own conjectures, to Little Sader:

According to newly acquired intelligence, America is serious this time, but the intensity of the war will not be high. Their main purpose in doing so is to exert pressure, while also trying to avoid fighting on multiple fronts.

Iran might slide on its knees, so you guys better be careful, especially that Justice League; you'd better stay away from them.

After sending the message, Lin Yi saw that Little Sader's status had changed to "typing".

After typing for five or six minutes, a concise message was sent:
The Justice League, Hezbollah, and the Badr organization—everyone has slipped away and gone into hiding since yesterday. Nobody knows where they've gone.

Iran probably never imagined that the little brother they nurtured would one day suddenly abandon them.

But you can't blame their underlings; blame the Iranians for their own stupidity.

At this moment, they actually took the initiative to show weakness and seek peace.

This time, Iran is in deep trouble!

Seeing the gloating in the message, Lin Yi's eye twitched. He forced a smile, edited a smiling emoji, and sent it to Little Sader.

After sending the emoji, he edited another message and sent it:

[That puts my mind at ease, haha.gif]

The message was sent successfully, and he dejectedly tossed his phone aside, deciding to give up.

Now that things have come to this, worrying is useless and will only make things worse.

Instead of making things difficult for yourself now, you should rest well now and have the opportunity to make things difficult for others later.

Having figured this out, Lin Yi felt much clearer-headed and his mood improved considerably.

He sat back down at his computer, created a new document, and began to think about how to annoy others.

Before he could finish writing his plan to annoy others, his phone rang.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed that an unfamiliar number was flashing on his phone screen; the number's location was Beijing.

And it's a landline phone!
who is it?

Hao Jin?

However, Hao Jin has his own contact information, so he can just call directly if he needs anything, and he won't use a landline to make calls.

who can that be?

With a nervous heart, he picked up his phone and answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, the person on the other end immediately began introducing themselves:
"My name is Fang Yaoguo, I'm from the Air Force. I'm here to talk to you because I have something to discuss."

"To show my sincerity, I'll do the thing you asked Hao Jin to do for you."

"I will now relay the leader's original words."

"Private enterprises engaging in aerospace and satellite launches can put pressure on the major aerospace groups. This competition and mutual progress among them will lead to mutual improvement. Therefore, in principle, we agree to Xiaomi Heavy Industry Group's request to apply for a qualification for private aerospace activities."

"These are the leader's exact words."

"As for the relevant qualification certificates, they will be escorted over by a specialist."

"have you understood?"

The voice on the other end suddenly became authoritative, giving Lin Yi the feeling of being asleep in class in middle school and then the teacher suddenly calling on him.

He suddenly stood up and roared, "I understand!"

After receiving his response, another voice came through the phone:

"Now that you understand, today is the 4th. If you have time tomorrow, come to Yanjing."

"We'd like to discuss the unmanned combat system you mentioned in your document!"

"We are very interested in what you have said, so we would like to talk to you about it."

"Before you leave, call this number and someone will pick you up from the airport."

That's all I wanted to say. We can talk about the specifics when we get there tomorrow.

beep...

It wasn't until the busy tone on the phone disappeared that Lin Yi finally snapped out of his daze, and then he let out a long breath.

I've been receiving bad news these past two days, but now I finally have some good news.

It’s really rare.

While feeling moved, a question arose in his mind: he had clearly asked Hao Jin for help, so why was it the Air Force that handled this matter?

Or did Hao Jin and the Air Force reach some kind of shady deal?

And the counterparty in the transaction is oneself?
After thinking about all sorts of random thoughts for a while, Lin Yi cleared his mind, took out his phone, and sent a message to Hao Jin.

Do you know Fang Yaoguo?

I sent it, and he immediately replied: [I know him. Did he call you?]

[I called, and they want me to be in Yanjing tomorrow!]

Then come over as soon as possible!

After reading the last message, Lin Yi returned to his computer, closed the previous document, and created a new one.

The essence of unmanned combat systems: exchanging industrial goods for human casualties!
