The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 417 Want a five-axis machining center?

Of course, listing in the United States is not something that can be achieved overnight.

No matter how fast it goes, it will take at least a year.

However, the further you get into the game, the greater the price you will pay.

With Jinlong Technology Group's ability to attract money, as long as it reveals the slightest hint, those investment banks on Wall Street will pounce on it like mad dogs to compete for food.

It was already very late when Liu Tao left Stone Manor.

It was already early morning when we returned to the hotel room.

Early the next morning, Liu Tao welcomed an unexpected guest.

This is a woman with a great figure, which makes people want to conquer her at any time.

After hearing the other party's purpose, Liu Tao was surprised.

"You are very brave. As an intelligence officer, you dare to appear in front of me openly." Liu Tao looked at the woman with some admiration.

This is a swallow, a swallow specially trained by the Soviet KGB.

When it comes to intelligence gathering and espionage, the Soviet intelligence organization KGB is best at, and probably the most well-known of all intelligence gathering methods is the "honey trap."

They use beautiful women or handsome men to lure their targets and make them reveal top secrets without knowing it. At the same time, they use advanced electronic eavesdropping, video recording and other means to secretly record and photograph various "pornographic evidence" to blackmail, bribe and subvert their targets.

Beautiful women who have undergone special training are called "swallows", while beautiful men are called "crows".

Of course there is another type, called 'mole'.

The so-called 'swallows', 'crows' and 'moles' are actually the names given by the KGB to spy agents.

"Swallows" and "Crows" are very different from "Mole", the difference is that "Swallows" and "Crows" usually use sex to seduce people to obtain intelligence information, while "Mole" has real agent skills and needs to do many dangerous espionage activities.

The erotic training of Soviet spies was world-class, and their professional training enabled them to possess outstanding abilities.

For people in Europe and America, the woman named "Ekaterina" is like an irresistible poison.

But for Liu Tao, who has the most beautiful woman in China as his wife, Ekaterina seems a little bit inferior.

Ekaterina deliberately leaned forward slightly, making her pride obvious.

Liu Tao shook his head slightly: "If you continue like this, I think there is nothing good to talk about between us. I will ask my guards to ask you to leave."

Ekaterina's body froze. She didn't expect that the man in front of her would be so indifferent to a beauty like her.

But she knew very well that the security personnel protecting Liu Tao in Hong Kong amounted to a company of soldiers.

"Mr. Liu, I came here just to have an in-depth exchange with you, nothing else." Ekaterina spoke fluent Chinese.

Liu Tao secretly sighed in his heart that when it comes to training agents, the Soviet KGB is indeed impressive.

Chinese is notoriously difficult to learn. It is not easy for Europeans and Americans to learn Chinese, but Ekaterina speaks fluent Chinese.

Obviously this is a special training.

Liu Tao smiled faintly and said, "I think you have found the wrong person. You should be looking for our comrades in the intelligence system."

"It just so happens that your majors are related, and it is convenient for communication." Liu Tao had no intention of having an in-depth communication with a swallow.

He is a germaphobe.

"No, I came here specifically to see you." Ekaterina said, "We have accurate information that you have sophisticated CNC machine tools, and we want to buy sophisticated CNC machine tools from you." Liu Tao said noncommittally, "You Soviets know the situation of China best. Your technicians were our teachers back then, teaching us step by step. You know very well what our level is."

"You are in need of precision CNC machine tools, and so are we. I think your information is wrong." Liu Tao said with a faint smile, "And even if we have precision CNC machine tools, you can buy them through formal channels. There are already some channels for communication between China and the Soviet Union."

The Soviet Union had a strong industry.

However, the Soviet Union was mediocre in terms of precision CNC machine tools.

The lack of precision CNC machine tools made the Soviet Union quite inadequate in precision machining.

Restricted by the Batumi embargo, it was not easy for the Soviet Union to obtain precision CNC machine tools, especially five-axis machining centers.

Not to mention the five-axis linkage CNC machine tools, even the three-axis linkage machining center has a huge role.

Liu Tao did not plan to export CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union, although such CNC machine tools are often very expensive and have huge profits.

However, once the number of CNC machine tools is large enough, the Soviet Union can completely change its previous production model.

The current Soviet Union is already stressful enough, and if it escalates further, life will become even more difficult.

High-end CNC machine tools play an extremely important role in the aviation manufacturing industry, aerospace manufacturing industry and other top manufacturing fields, especially the highly demanding military equipment manufacturing technology field, as well as ordinary civilian manufacturing fields.

Because of the existence of the Paris Coordinating Committee, Western countries have always imposed an embargo on high-end CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union.

Ordinary three-axis CNC machining centers are difficult to obtain. Even if they can be obtained, they are obtained through international smuggling channels. Not only are the quantities small, but the quality cannot be guaranteed.

Panshan Group specializes in producing machine tools, which it first uses for its own needs and then sells in small quantities to domestic state-owned factories.

As for the five-axis machining center, only Panshan Group has it.

Many systems that require five-axis machining centers are sent to Panshan Group for processing.

Liu Tao stood up and without chatting with Ekaterina any more, he asked the guard to ask her to leave directly.

Then, Liu Tao began to think.

It seems that he has been targeted by the KGB, which is not a good thing.

Liu Tao did not dare to underestimate the KGB, one of the best intelligence agencies in the world. He would feel troubled if he was targeted by it.

Fortunately, he was almost always in China and never went abroad. At most, he was in China and hardly gave the KGB any chance.

"The KGB is truly powerful. They can even get such top-secret information." Liu Tao whispered to himself.

The five-axis machining center is a top secret matter and very few people know about it.

But the KGB actually got the intelligence and came to the door at the right time.

Frowning slightly, Liu Tao was wondering whether it was a leak from within Panshan Group or the KGB obtained the information from other sources.

Holding the mobile phone, Liu Tao made a call. He had to report the situation to the working group.

Afterwards, Liu Tao called his guards and asked them to increase security and not allow even a fly to enter his room without his permission.

At the same time, Liu Tao asked his secretary to adjust the itinerary temporarily.

This time, the KGB's Yan Zi came to his door, which made Liu Tao feel a sense of crisis.
