Chapter 332: Eating Roast Duck at Quanjude
Let this world be filled with love? Why not go to Hokkaido, to the island country to say this? Looking at Andre's back as he left, Bush Sr. looked helpless.
Barbara, who was standing aside, was looking at the marshmallow in her hand. Just when Andre left, the woman next to him, who was holding two marshmallows, stuffed one of the marshmallows into her hand.
This time, Bush Sr. came to China from the United States. Of course, he was not just here for fun, but also brought an important mission from the US government. Although the parties are different, it is obvious that the United States is now in a passive state strategically, and the United States will be more attentive in the fight for China. It can be said that once the United States loses China, it will lose the entire Far East.
Bush was just riding and thinking at the same time, otherwise he would not have hit the damn rock. Looking at Barbara behind him, Bush said, "Let's go, it's getting late, we should go back."
Soviets, don't be so complacent, you haven't got the Far East yet!
It was getting darker outside.
Mr. Tang from Shenfei, who had come to the capital by plane to report to Mr. Deng, was sorting out documents in the guesthouse. He was feeling very confused, but also had some expectations.
Whether it continues to develop the J-8 or introduces the MiG-23, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation will be the most important aircraft manufacturer in China and the main fighter aircraft supplier for the Air Force!
"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling" Just then, the phone rang.
Picking up the phone, Mr. Tang heard a strange tone of voice: "Hello, is this Mr. Tang? I am George Bush, the former director of the U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing. Do you remember me?"
Suddenly, Mr. Tang remembered an incident a few years ago. It was this person who arranged for his daughter to study in the United States, and waived all the fees. Now, his daughter is still in the United States.
"I remember, of course I remember." Mr. Tang's tone immediately became friendly: "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing. I heard that you came to Beijing. I'm also in Beijing at the right time. How about we have a meal together? Let's go to Quanjude to eat roast duck. The food there is really good. I'm craving for it too. I'll pick you up in a while." The voice inside was also extremely cheerful.
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Tang was still a little surprised. He had just arrived in Beijing, how did this person know about it? However, Quanjude's roast duck is really a must. There is nothing wrong with having a meal, right? He still sticks to his principles. If the other party wants to get his secrets, he will never tell them.
Soon, a car from the American office stopped outside the guesthouse.
"Mr. Tang, you have always been busy with official duties and have no time. Today is a good opportunity." Bush Sr. took him kindly, got into the car, and drove straight to Quanjude.
Sitting in a private room, watching the chef's knife flying, soon, the most delicious part of the duck, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, was cut into a plate, dipped in sauce, coated with shredded green onions and cucumbers, wrapped in dough, and put into your mouth.
This mouth-watering taste fills the entire tongue, it smells so good!
"Mr. Tang, you are the helmsman of Shen Fei. It is fate that we can get together this time." Bush took the red wine and poured it into Mr. Tang's glass: "Come, let's have a drink."
After three glasses of wine, Mr. Tang's face began to turn red.
"Mr. Bush, you came to see me not just to reminisce about the past, right?" Mr. Tang was drunk and couldn't help but ask the questions in his mind. Needless to say, he knew that the other party must have a purpose.
If the other party asks about any secrets, don't tell anyone!
"That's right." Seeing that the time was right, Bush took out a document from his briefcase and said, "I do have something I want to ask of you, Mr. Tang. I have a document here for you to take a look at first."
Mr. Tang picked up the document and took a look at it. He sobered up immediately.
F-16 Falcon fighter performance data.
The F-16 fighter jet uses the latest aerodynamic research results from the United States, and adopts new technologies such as wing slats, air combat flaps, wing-body fusion, relaxed static stability, fly-by-wire control and high-overload cockpit to improve the aircraft's air combat performance. The maximum overload is 9G, the climb rate is 324 meters per second, and the maximum range is 3,800 kilometers.
………
The data listed item by item are very intuitive. When compared with our own J-8, the performance of the J-8 is simply that of a civil airliner!
In order to achieve their strategic goals, the United States has proposed advanced weapons plans to China. Now, when the Soviets are promoting their MiG-23, the Americans can no longer hold back and come forward to promote theirs!
Bush Sr. was commissioned to make this trip to China. After Carter came to power, Bush Sr. had already entered the business world. He had very close relations with fighter plane manufacturers such as General Dynamics, and this time, he was here to lobby for General Dynamics.
With his previous identity and status, he could even visit the leaders of the Third Ministry of Machine Building and other ministries directly. However, Bush Sr. was well aware of the ins and outs of the matter. If he went to lobby directly, it might not be effective. He could first convince the people below, and then have them report to their superiors. This would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The first step is to make the leaders of Shenfei realize the advanced nature of their F-16 fighters! Let them know that the performance of their fighters far exceeds that of the Soviet aircraft, and equipping them with their own fighters is the most correct choice for China!
Moreover, whatever conditions the Soviet Union puts forward, we can put forward whatever conditions! Even if we don't carry out the big arsenal plan, but simply export fighter jets, we must let China introduce American weapons and equipment!
"The variable sweep wing technology is outdated." Bush Sr. was taught these words by the staff of General Motors before he set out. He had a good memory and memorized all the words: "Now, the world's advanced technology is winglets and wing-body fusion. By relaxing static stability and fly-by-wire systems, the maneuverability of fighter planes is even better. Moreover, a great feature of our fighter planes is their long life. The Soviet engines need to be overhauled after 300 hours, but our aircraft engines can be guaranteed to last for thousands of hours, which can greatly save the cost of use. Mr. Tang, what do you think of our aircraft?"
"I'm personally very interested in this aircraft," Mr. Tang said, "but I can't guarantee what my superiors think."
"As long as you can explain your position to your superiors, that will be enough." Bush said, "Our diplomats will present our new fighter jet sales plan to you."
"This is a small token of our respect." Bush handed President Tang a bank card. At this time, Huaxia had not yet issued bank cards, so this card was from a Swiss bank.
