My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 164 An Unprecedented Shock

"President Qin! What you just mentioned... about the rocket engine? Is it true?!"

Jiang Pinwen almost held his breath as he pulled Qin Yuan to a relatively quiet corner, his voice extremely low, but every word revealing barely suppressed excitement and urgency, "Which design bureau is it? They...they're really willing to sell?!"

"It's true." Qin Yuan nodded firmly, his expression calm. "It was Grenev, the deputy director of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, who mentioned it to me personally."

"They have several NK series rocket engines sitting idle in their warehouse. According to him, the Soviet Union's strategic focus and resources are not currently on space exploration and heavy launch vehicles, so these stockpiles have been kept in storage."

"Their design bureau is short of funds and really wants to use it to exchange for some funds and urgently needed supplies."

He changed the subject, his tone becoming cautious: "However, Mr. Jiang, we need to carefully consider how to implement this, as there are too many issues involved."

"Discuss? What do you mean?" Jiang Pingwen pressed, his brows furrowing slightly.

"The key lies in two points." Qin Yuan held up two fingers. "First, which domestic unit has the capability and qualification to receive this? This is not ordinary equipment; it requires the highest level of technical and security assessment."

"Hmm, you make a good point. So, what's the second one?"

"Second, can we offer enough leverage to truly sway the Soviet Union?"

Qin Yuan emphasized, "It's not just about money; we may also need the large quantities of daily necessities and light industrial products that they urgently require."

"This is, after all, a sensitive transaction concerning core strategic technologies. It's not like buying vegetables at a market. The other party also needs to go through procedures, needs someone's approval, and may even need higher-level approval from Moscow."

Jiang Pingwen was also confused by his concern, but after Qin Yuan's analysis, he immediately calmed down.

Yes, rocket engines are vital national assets. Even if the other party has "idle" rocket engines, the transaction is by no means easy and will inevitably involve complex political, technological, and commercial games.

I was indeed too hasty just now.

But he was well aware of the domestic demand for this type of technology.

Once it is confirmed that the other party intends to sell, the relevant domestic departments will definitely make great efforts and exert tremendous sincerity to facilitate the matter.

He took a deep breath, gripped Qin Yuan's hand tightly, and said in an extremely solemn tone, "Mr. Qin, the information you provided is extremely important!"

"Regarding the rocket engine issue, I will immediately report to my superiors, to the highest department that has jurisdiction over this matter! After that, it is very likely that comrades from relevant departments will come to you to learn more about the situation and discuss countermeasures."

He paused, his gaze fixed intently on Qin Yuan: "Regarding the Soviet Union, I implore you, you absolutely must find a way to stabilize and maintain this line!"

"We must not let these valuable engines be snatched up and bought by other countries or companies... especially those in Europe and America!"

"Please let us know what support you need. We at Sichuan Airlines, and even at higher levels, will fully cooperate in any way that is within our capabilities!"

Qin Yuan immediately nodded solemnly, his tone steady and reliable: "President Jiang, rest assured, this is the proper course of action, and I will follow up with all my might, both for public and private reasons."

"The headquarters of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau is in Kuibyshev. I worked there for a while and built up some connections. I will try my best to maintain those relationships and wait for further news from home."

……

While Qin Yuan and Jiang Pinwen were having a private conversation, the game chat group for "Across the Business World" was in an uproar because of the "live broadcast" by the players on site.

[Overlord of Shu]: Everyone, Lord Jing has arrived at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport! Holy crap, he's even younger than I expected! And guess what? He's with a Russian girl! Blonde hair, blue eyes, amazing figure! Superb temperament, definitely a top-tier NPC!

[Attached photo: A slightly blurry distant view of Qin Yuan and Elena disembarking from the plane]

[Sichuan Hot Girl]: Pah! What a spineless coward. That exotic beauty is obviously a high-level NPC, just a perfect model created from data. What's so pretty about her? The focus is on Master Jing! Can't you film more of Master Jing?!
【Northeast Tiger Bro】: "Russian girl? What kind of Russian girl? Do you have any clearer photos? I'd like to see Jing Ye's face! Does the real person and the system ID match?" 【Shu Zhong Ba Wang】 immediately uploaded a few more slightly clearer photos: "【Pictures】【Pictures】This is it, the man is Jing Ye, super handsome, he has a really strong presence!"
The woman was the Soviet beauty who came down with him. Jingye really has connections in the Soviet Union; he can even have a beauty of this caliber by his side. Impressive!

The group chat was immediately flooded with comments of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

But soon, a sharp question broke the formation.

[Chengdu Local Buddy]: Wait, stop staring at the pretty girls! What happened during the interview? The reporter was asking questions perfectly fine, so why was the Sichuan Airlines CEO suddenly interrupting them? And he even pulled Jingye away? What's going on?

A player with the ID "Tianfu Airport Ground Staff Xiao Zhang" chimed in: "I was maintaining order at the scene! I was close by and vaguely heard a few words!"

"What did you hear? Tell us quickly!" the crowd urged.

[Zhang, ground staff at Tianfu Airport]: "It seems like Mr. Jing mentioned something about 'rocket engines'! Yes! That's the word. Then Mr. Jiang's expression changed immediately. He became very excited and quickly pulled Mr. Jing to the VIP reception room. Reporters weren't allowed to follow!"

"A rocket engine? What the hell is that?" [A playboy from Yanjing] was stunned.

[Yangcheng Chaozai] reacted extremely quickly: "Holy crap?! Could it be that Master Jing managed to get this thing from the Soviet Union for the country?!"

[Shuiyuanlutong] was completely stunned: "My God... if this is true... wouldn't that be the beginning of another epic achievement?!"

[Shenzhen Tech Ape]: "Gentlemen! As you all know, the background of this game world is that of two superpowers. Although the Soviet Union's light industry was weak, it was the undisputed hegemon of the military and aerospace industries!"
If we could successfully import strategic technologies and products of this caliber from the Soviet Union, the impact on China's industrial progress in related fields would be immeasurable!
This could even... alter the future course and timeline!
"Master Jing's path... is absolutely the right one, absolutely amazing!"

[Yangcheng Chaozai]: "Brothers! Is it too late for me to buy a ticket to the Soviet Union?!"

[A Shanghai proverb]: "Wouldn't it be better to go to America? America is stronger!"

[Haidian Xiaodao]: "Brother Hu, don't be impulsive. The US is a long-established capitalist power with a mature market, strict rules, and is full of giants and financial tycoons. Where is there room for ordinary people like us to develop?"
On the contrary, in the Soviet Union, where Jingye was pioneering, the rules were undefined, opportunities abounded, the risks were high but the rewards were even greater, offering more chances to earn achievement points and amass enormous wealth!

[Yangcheng Dachao] concluded: "At the very beginning of the game, when almost all players were still struggling in China, Jingye decisively chose the risky path of the Soviet Union. Looking back now, his vision and courage were incredibly sharp and farsighted!"

[Fashion Godmother]: "If...if Jingye really gets his hands on a rocket engine...then his background and importance will be completely unmatched."

At the national level, he will be treated like a treasure and protected!

Moreover, according to what he just told reporters, the scope of border trade will continue to expand in the future... I have a strong feeling that Far East trade will definitely grow into a behemoth that monopolizes border trade with the Soviet Union!
Jingye's current ranking is probably... just the beginning.

She paused, then typed out a line of text that sent a shockwave through everyone:

"The top three positions that have been maintained in the game for seven or eight years are probably going to be broken by him alone."

These words struck like a hammer blow, plunging the entire chat group into an instant silence.

Changes in the top five might be acceptable, but the top three...

[Shadow Emperor], [Eternal Green], [Southern Financial Holdings]

These three names, like three mountains, have been pressing down on the top of the rankings for far too long!
Their wealth, businesses, and influence are almost unshakeable in the eyes of most players!
Now, a "Master Jing" who started from scratch and rose from humble beginnings has shown terrifying potential to challenge or even overturn the top of this pyramid!
All players, regardless of their ranking, were filled with immense shock and an indescribable sense of urgency.

From this moment on, the landscape of the game seems to have truly begun to change.

But, Master Jing... can he really do it?

A silent shock and unprecedented anticipation spread wildly in the hearts of every player.
