While Ye Zhou was busy solving various problems in production and manufacturing, in a small office in Hong Kong City, an old man and a young man were having a casual conversation.

"Wen Xiao, you probably know the purpose of coming to you this time. You know that our Navigator project targets the research and development of the most advanced aero-engine technology in the world, and the talents we attract are also from around the world.

The best in the field.”

"Look, you are doing research on thermal power, which is a key technology in the field of aerospace engineering. If you independently lead a research group in the project, you will definitely be able to make amazing achievements in the future."

"To be honest, we are very satisfied with your ability. But on the other hand, we also think that maybe your ability in other aspects will give us a greater advantage."

"Don't get me wrong, we are not trying to deprive you of your right to conduct research. On the contrary, we will strongly support your research. However, at the same time, we also hope that you can help us do something that can produce tangible benefits."

"Of course, if you prefer to focus on theoretical research, we also respect your opinion."

The person sitting opposite him was Wen Xiao. The latter pondered for a moment and then asked:

"Mr. Tom, can I ask in advance what exactly do you mean by 'jobs that can produce tangible benefits'?"

Tom, who was sitting opposite, coughed, adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and answered:

"We want to hire you as our technical consultant to analyze China's aero-engine industry and figure out the technical advantages and technical weaknesses of China's aero-engine enterprises. These industry analysis reports will be published in a public form - you know

Yes, in fact, this type of report is not a secret in our country. Every year, a large number of practitioners and economists conduct similar analyzes on our country’s aviation and aerospace companies.”

“Such reports will promote the healthy development of industries and enterprises to a certain extent. Of course, more importantly, they provide a basis for investors’ decision-making.”

"I won't tell you that we are noble to help the development of China's aviation industry, of course not. We just want to obtain more information and help ourselves make more money, that's all."

Wen Xiao nodded and continued to ask:

"Why me?"

"It's very simple. You have sufficient technical background, and your personality and interpersonal skills are stronger than others. You are the most cost-effective option we can find."

"To use a word that may not be so appropriate, your price is not too expensive, but it is very useful, right?"

There was a smile on Tom's face, and Wen Xiao opposite him also smiled back at him.

"Mr. Tom, you are very sincere. So, can I ask, if I agree to take this technical consultant job, what will be the reward?"

"It's very simple. The first thing is of course the economic aspect. This is an era of market economy. We will pay you for your labor. In addition, we will also provide you with the best scientific research resources and priority places for cooperation. I think

, these conditions should be attractive to you, right?"

Wen Xiao nodded and replied:

"It's really attractive, and it even makes me feel that the work I'm about to do is a bit insignificant in the face of the conditions you put forward."

"Then you can do better. Of course, better quality work will also bring better quality pay."

Tom said with sincerity on his face.

"I understand, then I wish us a happy cooperation."

Wen Xiao stretched out his hand to Tom, and the two simply held their hands across the desk. After smiling at each other, this transaction full of subtext came to an end.

After leaving Tom's office, Wen Xiao secretly sighed.

He knew very well what the other party wanted to do.

What technical consultants and industry analysts are actually just a cover for cover. What these people really want to know is the information on the development status of China's latest aviation technology.

They want to know whether China's aerospace industry can pose a threat to their own status.

And my position with them is more like an intelligence agent than a so-called technical advisor.

However, I don't seem to be disgusted with such an identity.

Is it betrayal? Gu Hao

He doesn't think so.

In terms of the current technical level of China's aerospace industry, there is actually no aspect that can surpass the West. In other words, whether the information is confidential or not, it cannot actually change its backward nature.

It is a backward technology, so what can be kept secret?

What's wrong with using these backward technologies in exchange for some tangible benefits?

The worst thing is to wait until your own research team produces results, and then use part of the results to compensate.

Wen Xiao thought so, and the remaining guilt in his heart disappeared in the blink of an eye.

...

After Wen Xiao left, Monte came to Tom's conference room again.

"How was it? Did the conversation with him go well?"

Tom nodded and replied:

"It went quite smoothly - he didn't even counter-offer. Just as I thought, as long as we can offer enough conditions, he will never refuse us."

"You have done me a favor this time. However, after he comes to my side, do I still need to discuss with you what kind of work he will be responsible for?"

"What kind of work do you want him to do?"

Tom frowned and asked.

"A lot, technical analysis, upstream and downstream industry analysis, and the research direction judgment you mentioned... But to be honest, what I want to do most is let him directly enter the Liming Aviation Development Factory, where we

You can get first-hand information.”

Monte leaned back on the sofa, with a nonchalant expression on his face.

"I don't think you can convince him to join Dawn Aviation so easily. After all, analyzing intelligence from marginal information and directly obtaining intelligence directly and actively have completely different meanings."

"He can accept working for us, but he probably won't accept working for us on something that pushes the bottom line. Especially when this matter involves the country."

"You know, Chinese people are sometimes very strange. They are only interested in profit, but they take certain principles more seriously than anyone else - not betraying the country is one of them."

After listening to Tom's words, Monte had a somewhat sarcastic smile on his face. He tapped the table with his hand lightly and replied:

"These people you are talking about and the person you just talked to are actually not the same type of people at all."

"Yes, there are some people in China who do exactly what you said, but this Wen Xiao doesn't know how to do it."

"He does not have that firm concept of family and country in his heart. He is a... advocate without borders."

After a pause for a few seconds, Monte continued:

"On the other hand, it doesn't matter if he rejects us at first, I kind of try to get him to sink in a little bit. Have you heard of the broken window effect? ​​When a window in a house is broken, the whole house

All the windows will be damaged in a short period of time.”

"And now, we have broken one of Wenxiao's windows. Is it still far away from the day when all the glass is broken?"

Tom nodded in agreement, but then asked:

"How do you know they won't patch up the broken windows?"

Monte laughed and replied:

"Who will make up for him? Himself? Or his country? Tom, don't forget, from the moment he stepped into this office, he was actually abandoned by himself and his country at the same time.
Chapter completed!
