Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Military industry experts from the Ministry of National Defense began to discuss specific details with representatives of the five companies, but Bao Zixuan did not participate. This is the engineer's job, he has other things to do. Although the U.S. military put a stop to it, the richest man Bao didn't want to give up. The prototype car must be produced within the specified time, and it will definitely surprise the world by then.

The five car companies represent the pinnacle of American automobile manufacturing, and senior officials of the Department of Defense also want to take this opportunity to build good relations with them. In addition, there are still many things to discuss with Bao Zixuan, and an opportunity must be created no matter what.

Tender meetings, detail matching, and other things were added, and the day passed quickly. The Ministry of National Defense arranged a small dinner, which was regarded as a kind of entertainment. Of course, it could also enhance mutual feelings and make each other more familiar.

The dinner was very small, and the Ministry of Defense was a highly confidential organization. Not just any cat or dog can easily enter.

Many operations of the Department of Defense are incomprehensible. For example, Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger openly expressed his love for Ford cars and finally announced a tender for missile launch vehicles. These operations will not be that simple. At least Bao Shaofu has sensed some conspiracy.

At this time, the enemy is in the dark and can only try to see what the Americans want to do. It is estimated that some clues will be seen at the dinner party. The best way at present is to remain unchanged in the face of changes.

The dinner party was really small, with less than 30 people in attendance. There are only two representatives from each company, plus senior officials from the Ministry of National Defense and military industry technicians; they can be said to be urban elites.

Although the scale is small, the specifications are definitely very high. There are not only many rich people inside, but also stars. The Minister of Defense is a civilian, but other senior officials in the Ministry of Defense are senior military generals. There are two four-star generals alone, which is the highest military rank in the United States in peacetime, which shows how seriously the Department of Defense takes this matter.

Although I don’t understand what Americans mean, I can only continue at this time. The dinner party is very simple, and no one will actually eat anything on this occasion.

On this occasion, it would be difficult for Bao Bao's age not to be remembered. Many female soldiers or waitresses smiled kindly at him. After all, this young rich man was known as the world's number one diamond king. Any relationship that happens may change the fate of your entire life.

General Ian Wright was an old acquaintance of Bao Zixuan, so it was normal for him to come up and say hello. So he walked up to Mr. Bao with a wine glass and said with a smile: "It's good to be young. Mr. Bao is always surrounded by beautiful women."

Although I didn't know what the lieutenant general meant, he came over to say hello. You must express something, this is the most basic politeness issue.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "General Ian Wright is joking, you are someone who has been here before. I believe you should have been more popular when you were young, right?"

This is a way of complimenting each other. It is impossible to talk about things right away.

Ian Wright: "It may be different from what you think. I spent most of my youth in military camps. I stayed in Vietnam for a long time, and I didn't see so many beauties at all."

It is estimated that this boy would not dare to tell the truth, even if he is surrounded by beautiful women, he would not be able to admit it. After all, the two have different identities. If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of them, it will be very embarrassing.

Bao Zixuan: "Soldiers are a sacred profession. They not only have to fight the enemy on the battlefield. They often lose time with their families. I personally envy and resist professional soldiers. Sometimes life is really contradictory. , even I don’t know how to describe it.”

Bao Zixuan has decided that as long as the people from the Ministry of National Defense don't speak, he will never take the initiative to say anything. The U.S. military must have important things to discuss when it invited itself over from Japan; it couldn't just be a tender that has little to do with Heiyun.

Since Ian Wright doesn't want to get into the topic yet, he can't be in a hurry.

Although I have made friends with Bao Zixuan several times, I know that this is a young man who cannot be described by his age. In many cases, this kid can keep his composure better than Lao Jianghu. It may be because he has been honed over the years, or he doesn't need to worry at all. Most people who come to him basically have something to ask him for!

If he doesn't speak, he can only speak first. After all, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberg is still waiting for news. Let's say hello to the other party here first, as a way to pave the way for the leader to come over and discuss it.

If both parties are not prepared at all, it can easily cause unnecessary trouble.

Ian Wright: "What does Mr. Bao think of the military's replacement of military vehicles? Heiyun Automobile has a good chance. After all, from a technical and performance perspective, your company's vehicles do have their technical and cost advantages."

"We are friends, and we need to be reminded of many things. Your identity is destined to make it impossible to get too many orders, let alone orders for models with high technical and confidentiality requirements; so I hope you can be prepared in advance."

Although anyone could have guessed the outcome, I didn’t expect Ian Wright to be so candid. Could it be that this kid wants to be friends with me, but it doesn’t look like it!

Guessing it is one thing, but hearing it from other people's mouths is another story. Ian Wright told this, but at great risk. No matter how friendly you are, the warning should be given. There must be follow-up plans, otherwise it would be impossible to tell him so much.

On the contrary, Bao Shaofu was more relaxed and had never thought about the military vehicle order before. And whether it can be obtained has no impact on Heiyun Automobile at all.

Bao Zixuan: "Heiyun Motors' current shipment volume is very tight, and the order list is very full. I am not particularly concerned about whether I can get military vehicle orders. Of course it is best if I can, and I won't be too demanding if I don't. After all, it is not about waiting. After all, Heiyun Group still has some financial and technical reserves."

The young rich man just didn't talk about it. Ian Wright understood that he was waiting for him. Although he is a lieutenant general, in this case, his military rank is not much different, if not the lowest.

Ian Wright said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Bao has good relations with mainland China and Middle East countries."

What do Americans mean? Do they want the Black Cloud Group or themselves to be spies? They don't worry about whether their appetite is big enough. The richest man in Hong Kong is not that cheap.

But his expression doesn't look like it. Even someone as powerful as the U.S. military wouldn't be so arrogant. As the most well-known super-rich man and technical genius in the world, no one dares to look down on Mr. Bao.

Although I don't understand what Ian Wright means, since people have already asked, it is impossible not to answer anything.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "You can't say how familiar I am, but Heiyun Group has invested in several projects in mainland China and the Middle East."

The relationship between these two places and the United States is not very good, and the whole world knows it. Bao Zixuan couldn't deny it; nor could he overexplain it, as that would make him feel guilty.

Ian Wright: "Mr. Bao may have misunderstood. The Ministry of National Defense has absolutely no other intentions. I just want to ask you for a small favor, and in my opinion, it is a win-win situation."

Isn’t it difficult to force Heiyun Group to participate in some secret project?

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you for the trust of the U.S. military, but Heiyun Group is just a company. It does not want to participate in the game between countries at the moment, not before, not now, and not in the future."

"So I can only apologize to Your Majesty the General. After all, this is not something that a company can participate in. Even if the Heiyun Group is getting stronger, it will not be so arrogant."

Ian Wright: "You seem to have misunderstood me. The military will never use private companies to achieve certain goals. I invited you here from Japan this time just to talk about business."

Bao Zixuan: "As long as it's business, we have to talk about it. Others may be beyond my ability. After all, I am a businessman."

It seems that the young man in front of me is really a businessman, and we can only discuss cooperation with him from a business perspective.

Ian Wright: "The U.S. military's plan to replace new military vehicles will not change unless unexpected events occur. A total of more than 300,000 new military vehicles are involved in service, which also means that 300,000 military vehicles will be withdrawn from active service."

"Many military vehicles were previously produced by Jeep, and the Ministry of National Defense does not want the vehicles to become scrap metal. If they are sold after simple repairs and maintenance, it will be an explanation to everyone."

"Although the U.S. economy is relatively developed, every military expenditure is paid for by taxpayers through hard work. The military cannot waste resources. Finding a company that can sell it back is the best option."

"Looking at all the car companies in the United States, only Heiyun Group is the most suitable. Military vehicles have their limitations in design. Most civilian purchases are made by military enthusiasts or just for fun, so sales are limited."

It turned out that he was waiting for him here. Ian Wright's words made Bao Shaofu deep in thought.
