Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1995 The Middleman

Therefore, the Chinese government has officially negotiated with Ukraine to purchase the Tu-160, and there is basically no possibility of success. Moreover, if it does so, it may also affect the current second batch of Su-27 procurement contracts between China and Russia. After all, this Not an ordinary aircraft, but the world's top strategic bomber.

In order not to startle the enemy and cause unnecessary international diplomatic troubles, it is necessary to find a third party to purchase this strategic bomber.

In the early years, the country has been doing this through "patriotic Hong Kong businessmen", and it has been tried and tested. In the 80s and [-]s, these Hong Kong patriotic businessmen not only obtained a lot of advanced technology and equipment for China, but also Moreover, through their channels, they helped some overseas Chinese with top technologies to return to China, which made a great contribution to China's breakthrough in the technological blockade of Western countries. Although the Chinese government also gave them generous rewards, but paid Compared with the capital and the technology obtained, it is definitely worth the money.

In addition to foreign trade and export, Poly Corporation has been helping the country to import and purchase some advanced foreign technologies in recent years. In the early years, Poly Corporation had contacted Dassault Corporation of France and planned to purchase a batch of Mirage 2000 fighter jets. But in the end, due to the country's insufficient foreign exchange reserves and the excessive asking price of the French, the deal was aborted. However, Poly has indeed made a contribution to the country. He also made it possible for the Chinese military to contact and purchase foreign advanced technology.

But this time, when it comes to the purchase of the Tu-160 bomber, Poly is powerless. In fact, every move of Poly is now closely monitored by Western countries. possible.

But Tianyin Group is different. As early as the end of the 80s, Tianyin Group had already started foreign trade activities with the former Soviet Union countries. At that time, Duan Yun's ex-wife Cheng Qingyan was mainly responsible for the foreign trade with the Soviet Union. After the couple divorced, the foreign trade department of Telling Group still remained. Through various trades with Russia and other CIS countries, Telling Group can profit tens of millions of dollars from it. An important department of Soviet talents, until now, there are still many experts from the former Soviet Union who have obtained visas to come to China through the various branch channels established by Tianyin Group in the CIS countries, and come to work in Shenzhen.

At present, Telling Group not only has a registered office in Russia, but also has offices in Belarus and Ukraine at the same time. In addition to a few managers sent by Telling Group, most of the staff in the office are Some of the local employees have government and business backgrounds. They take Tianyin Group to offer them salaries several times higher than the local ones and various rewards and dividends to engage in Tianyin Group's foreign trade business and talent introduction.

Poly Company has also paid attention to the foreign trade system of Tianyin Group for a long time, and has also seen the strength of the foreign trade department of Tianyin Group.

You must know that when the country saw the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, it immediately formulated a "dual introduction plan" to introduce talents and technologies from the former Soviet Union, trying to bring some important talents and technologies from the former Soviet Union to the country through various channels.

But in fact, during the nearly two years since the implementation of the dual-introduction plan, the process has not been so smooth, because there were many countries coveting the technology and talents of the former Soviet Union at that time. In addition to China, the United States, Europe and South Korea are also doing their best. To snatch the technology and talents of the former Soviet Union, and compared with China, European and American countries have penetrated more deeply into the former Soviet Union. In addition, many Soviet experts themselves were more yearning for the affluent life in Europe and the United States at that time, so China’s dual-introduction plan competitors are too The number of talents and technologies introduced is very limited. Until this year, a total of more than 1000 Soviet experts were introduced.

However, Tianyin Group, as a private enterprise, has successfully introduced more than 800 experts from the former Soviet Union within two years, and it also includes Belarusian national treasure-level microelectronics experts like Dr. Dastan. This has undoubtedly aroused concern from relevant domestic departments. highly valued.

It can be said that Tianyin Group, as a private enterprise, has almost tied the talent introduction plan of the former Soviet Union with the country's double introduction plan. This is definitely beyond the expectations of many domestic high-level leaders. The Yin Group conducted an investigation, which shows how much the Tianyin Group shocked the country's high-level officials when it introduced talents from the former Soviet Union.

However, through the investigation of various departments, the relevant investigators not only did not investigate and deal with the problems of Tianyin Group, but also found that Tianyin Group used this group of talents to make great contributions to related domestic industries, so when the superiors were required to report, He gave a very high evaluation, and it is precisely because of this that Tianyin Group not only became the first private enterprise in China to obtain a license to enter the automobile industry, but also participated in the bidding for the development of a new generation of military vehicles. thought of things.

But this time, the country wanted to introduce the Tu-160 bomber left by the former Soviet Union. When Poly was unable to do anything, they also began to turn their attention to Tianyin Group.

"I may really be powerless in this matter..." After hearing Xu Shaoqiang's plan to introduce the Tu-160 bomber through the Tianyin Group, Duan Yun's face showed a bit of helplessness, and he continued: "This thing But the country's most important weapon, the Americans have been staring at it very closely. I will tell you that, in fact, I thought about this as early as two years ago, but the feedback given to me by the Ukrainian office is that this This is absolutely impossible. Ukraine has very strict security on Tu 160 Airport, and as far as they know, spies from the United States and Russia are also closely monitoring these bombers, not to mention selling the planes, even if they want to steal them. A component is also impossible."

"That's it..." Hearing what Duan Yun said, Xu Shaoqiang showed a bit of disappointment.

In fact, this is also expected by Xu Shaoqiang, because even if the Soviet Union disintegrates, a lean camel will be bigger than a horse. No country will relax its vigilance against this important weapon of extremely important strategic value.

"It is impossible to buy the plane, but if you have the blueprints and materials, you may have a chance to get it." Duan Yun said after a moment of pondering.

"That's fine!" Xu Shaoqiang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said to Duan Yun: "But these are state secrets, can you really get these blueprints?"
