Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 344 He Cannot Die! (Second Update!)

Speaking of winning, Dmitry burst out laughing. Under everyone's gaze, he held up three fingers, "A triple win!"

"Back then, the Galileo project was initiated by the French president who sincerely invited China to participate."

"Later, when China was betrayed, it was France that mediated and tried to keep the project going."

"Given the invitation from France, they will most likely go at this time."

"And if we kidnap people at this time, then France will bear the brunt of the anger."

"Broken up their relationship, that's the first win!"

"By capturing Lin Yi, the chairman of Xiaomi Heavy Industry, we gained control of their technology and their current R&D status, which is the second win."

"Using this incident to solidify America's stance is the third win."

"In short, as long as Lin Yi goes out, we will always be invincible."

After Dmitri finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.

Price sat in his chair and slowly wrote down the words with his pen.

Previously, he had only heard of Dmitri's reputation and knew that the guy was despicable and treacherous, but he had never had any dealings with him and had only heard about him.

This time, he finally saw the guy's insidious side.

These methods are shameless, but very effective.

America's enemies should be dealt with like autumn leaves being swept away, simply wiping them out completely.

Only in this way can America be guaranteed to always be far ahead.

After writing down all the text and checking it again to make sure there were no errors, Price put away the paper and pen and said to Dmitri:
“Director Dmitry, I will convey your full proposal to the President.”

"You should receive the president's instructions around this afternoon."

"From my conversation with the president, he seems to prefer living people."

"Therefore, your second and third plans are more suitable."

"Especially the third plan."

After speaking with Dmitri, Price turned to look at Torres:
“Minister Torres, since Director Dmitry has already provided a solution, there’s no need for us to continue the discussion.”

"I'll go back to the White House first and hand over the relevant proposal to the President for his decision."

"Next, you may need to prepare some logistical work."

"Because the president prefers to apply pressure."

"Understood!" Torres simply nodded, indicating that he would do it.

Finally, Price turned his gaze to Harrison:

"Director Harrison, I need you to give us a count of how many decommissioned satellites we can use before noon."

"I will convey the proposal you mentioned to the President. Whether the President uses it or not is his business."

"As subordinates, we must do our jobs well."

After saying what he wanted to say, Price stood up, nodded to the group, and turned to leave with what he had just recorded.

The conference room door closed, and the men inside exchanged glances. Harrison was the first to break the silence:
"By the way, has the CIA confirmed it's true?"

“Not sure!” Navarro took the question, shook his head slightly, and then nodded under Harrison’s expectant gaze:

"We have too little information at the moment to analyze it directly."

"But one thing is certain: another navigation system has been added to the world, and according to the classification of Chinese enterprises, it is controlled by a private company."

"Perhaps in the foreseeable future, we will witness the rise of capital."

"Alright, our president is busy with something, and we have a lot of work to do, so we'll be leaving now."

"goodbye!"

As Navarro and his companion left, Harrison followed them away.

Just as he was about to step out the door, Torres called him back.

Instead of keeping Harrison in the conference room, Torres took him directly to the rooftop sunroom.

Bathed in sunlight and sipping coffee, Torres suddenly asked:
"From your personal experience, do we still have a technological lead?"

The question was crucial. After figuring out Torres' question, Harrison quickly picked up his coffee cup and used it to cover his facial expression.

He took a small sip of coffee, shook his head, and replied:

"I can't tell!"

"Because I'm just a nobody in the aerospace field. The starry sky is as vast as the sea. They may surpass us in some aspects, or they may not surpass us at all."

In short, I can't judge!

After rambling on and on, Harrison downed his coffee in one gulp and got up to leave.

After Harrison left, Torres slowly got up and left the sunroom.

Driving towards the White House.

Meanwhile, Dmitry and Navarro returned to the George W. Bush intelligence center and to Navarro's office.

Navarro poured Dmitri a cup of coffee, sat down on the sofa next to him, and asked, holding the coffee:

"Let's continue with the topic you mentioned earlier, which is the issue of this year's profits."

"You said you wanted to find other growth points, do you have any ideas?"

When asked about money, Dmitry put down his coffee, leaned back on the sofa, and lazily asked, "What's the use of having ideas?"

"It's no use. My idea is about to be killed."

Navarro's ability to become the director of the CIA was largely due to his own merits, in addition to his previous assistance to the president.

Dmitri's words only briefly crossed his mind before a key name came to mind.

Xiaomi Heavy Industry.

Frowning, he asked, half-seriously and half-jokingly, "Your new growth point is Xiaomi Heavy Industry?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding!" Dmitri remained lazy, still nestled on the sofa.

Finding himself somewhat incredulous after his casual answer, Navarro changed his posture and stated his previous thoughts:

“At the beginning of the year, after our drug revenue started to decline, I began to think about a question.”

"What exactly is it that can guarantee profits while posing extremely low risks?"

"For this reason, I also conducted research on several industries."

"In the end, I concluded that only items classified as daily consumables can guarantee safety while ensuring sufficient profit."

"Then I started looking for these kinds of everyday consumables, and that search led me to a situation that filled me with despair."

“Those are everyday consumables, which are usually produced in large factories or farms and are not lacking at all.” “Trying to engage in speculation and smuggling is a complete waste of time.”

"During this investigation, our people inadvertently discovered a batch of home appliances in Japan."

When the topic turned to home appliances, Dmitry paused, leaned forward, and looked at Navarro with a broad smile:
"Want to guess whose goods these appliances are?"

Judging from Dmitri's expression, Navarro almost instinctively thought of a name, which he uttered with some skepticism: "Xiaomi Heavy Industries?"

"Yes! Xiaomi Heavy Industry!" Having received the answer, Dmitry shifted his position, lounging lazily on the sofa, his gaze fixed on the ceiling as he continued his explanation:
"Our people told me at the time that the batch of home appliances had a very important characteristic."

That means saving 50% on energy!

“They conducted simple tests, and the percentage was less than 50%, but around 47%.”

"At the time, I was thinking, should I send someone to China to find this manufacturer, get the goods, and then smuggle them?"

"After all, the desire to save money is a common consensus among people all over the world."

"I got distracted by other things and forgot about it."

"Later, Xiaomi Heavy Industry's high-performance battery emerged out of nowhere."

“I remembered this again. Putting all these things together can make more money.”

"So when their people came to America to deliver batteries, I detained them and had them give their boss a business card."

"Then that guy called twice and then stopped."

"I was originally thinking of finding an opportunity to contact that guy and see what he was thinking."

"But now, there's no need to think about it!"

These words left Navarro unsure how to respond.

Are CIA salaries high?
It's tall, but not really tall.

For a typical family using it normally, it's perfectly adequate.

The problem is that nobody wants to be ordinary. Everyone wants to live in a big house, drive a luxury car, go to the sun and sand, go skiing, travel, eat meat and drink alcohol to their heart's content.

If you want these things, your salary won't be enough, so you'll have to start some businesses.

But the industry is difficult to develop, and there is also other competition.

Then we can only engage in gray-area business, but gray-area business is not easy to do either.

It also depends on the timing. If Xiaomi Heavy Industry's products are really as Dmitri said, then it will be a golden road to wealth.

However, their subsequent actions could very well lead to the complete disappearance of Xiaomi Heavy Industry.

This would cut off their source of income.

A source of income was cut off just like that; if it were him, he would also be unwilling to accept it.

But despite their resentment, they are Americans. As long as America remains a stable country, those in high positions can continue to depend on America and continue to exploit it.

If this country is gone, then everything they have achieved will have been for nothing.

Standing up, Navarro took the coffee cup from Dmitri and made him another cup of instant coffee. He then prepared to skip the topic and discuss the specific implementation plan.

After making the coffee, he returned and, as if possessed, asked again:

"How much money can you make in a year by smuggling their home appliances?"

Dmitri was stirring his coffee when he heard this. He looked up and stared at his partner with a puzzled expression.

After a few seconds, he said blankly, "In the Americas, you and I can probably get twenty or thirty million each year."

"If we include Europe and Africa, it's not impossible for the number to reach hundreds of millions."

“Dollar?” Navarro suddenly asked, his eyes revealing a desire that Navarro himself hadn’t noticed.

The question was absurd. Dmitry rolled his eyes and replied, "We're American, we don't use dollars, so what do we use?"

These two sentences turned Navarro into a cat on a hot tin roof in an instant; he kept pacing around in place and pounding his head.

It would occasionally let out two low, muffled groans, like a caged beast frantically banging against the cage.

He maintained this state for about two or three minutes, then lowered his arms, and the ferocity on his face softened.

Finally, he returned to Dmitry: "We cannot let him die, nor can we let him be captured!"

"Huh?" Dmitri was taken aback by the strange words, but he quickly realized that the "he" Navarro was referring to was Lin Yi.

Once he figured out who his partner was referring to, Dmitry jumped up, distanced himself from Navarro, and demanded:
"are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy! I'm serious!" Navarro, completely changed from his previous madness, sat down opposite Dmitri with his coffee, slowly sipped it, and explained calmly:
“From America’s perspective, this person is a threat, and we must kill him as soon as possible to eliminate the threat.”

"From the CIA's perspective, and from our perspective, it would be more advantageous for us if he were alive."

"As long as he's alive, he can keep creating pressure, and that will make the CIA seem very useful."

"At that time, the CIA can take the opportunity to acquire some rights and benefits that did not originally belong to us."

"Let's look at it from our respective perspectives."

"Xiaomi Heavy Industry is very technologically advanced. Based on what they have shown so far, they can be called a giant."

"There are so many opportunities for us to make money with companies like this."

"Countless!"

"You don't make much money in one go, but what if you do it multiple times?"

"Then the other company and we are naturally in an adversarial relationship, and it is only natural for us to take their money."

"Even more justifiable than drug trafficking!"

"Therefore, he cannot die!"

Dmitri offered his own assessment of Navarro's lengthy explanation and the nonsensical reasons he gave:
"You have a lot of fallacies; you almost convinced me."

"Now, let's hear from our great CIA Director Navarro: how can we ensure this guy doesn't die?"

When asked about his method, Navarro appeared confident and calmly replied, "It's very simple!"

"In your plan, you're going to organize an astronomical extravaganza in France, and then have France invite that guy to France."

"Then we'll arrest him."

"This has happened before."

"We can launch a counter-public opinion campaign while simultaneously initiating public opinion, by compiling publicly available information about these events into professional articles to counter public opinion."

"With both sides gaining momentum at the same time, I think that with Lin Yi's intelligence at Xiaomi Heavy Industry, he should realize something is wrong when he sees these things."

"If he senses something is wrong, he won't go to France."

"Your plan will fail, but it will also let others know that the other side is not stupid and not so easy to fool."

"Our weight will also increase at that time!"
