Chapter 88 Hush Money? Not Enough!

The Fifth Machine Ministry.

It was late at night, and everyone had already gotten off work.

The regulations of the work system of two days off a week and eight hours a day were well implemented.

However, the lights in the conference room were brightly lit, and the leaders were holding an emergency meeting.

Liu Tao's face was still a little red, and he still smelled of alcohol.

When he got home, he just gave some instructions and went to sleep. It was not until nine o'clock that his mother woke him up. He washed his face and hurried here.

". The total order this time is 130 million US dollars. Like last time, they want a 10% kickback." Liu Tao reported, hiding his accidental slip of the tongue about Iraq's fight against the Persians.

The conference room suddenly became quiet, and every leader looked incredible.

Liu Tao always gets a big contract every time he returns to Beijing.

This contract is simply creating history, and it is bigger than the previous contracts.

130 million US dollars, even if the 10% kickback is deducted, it is still 117 million US dollars!

After the last incident, everyone knew that kickbacks were common in overseas arms business, in order to better reach orders and promote cooperation.

After a little inquiry, they found that the fact was just as Liu Tao said, 10% was not high, so no leader raised any objection this time.

"Comrade Liu Tao, are there really so many orders?" A leader's voice was trembling.

An order of 130 million US dollars, which is almost catching up with the 167 million US dollars order from Egypt that the Third Machine Department received last year.

The problem is that the Third Machine Department has not seen any money yet, and the Fifth Machine Department has made a lot of money.

"Yes, this is just one order. If nothing unexpected happens, Iraq will have more purchase orders in a short time." Liu Tao said confidently.

He and Al and Rashid accidentally let it slip that it was definitely impossible to be just such a 130 million US dollar order.

This order is not enough as hush money, and it must be a bigger order.

"Heroes emerge young. The delegation of the Third Ministry of Machine Building worked so hard for so long and suffered so much wind and sand to get an order of 167 million US dollars. Comrade Liu Tao returned to Beijing and got such a large order." A leader said with emotion.

The leader sitting in the most core position said: "Comrade Liu Tao, Comrade Baoguo has already told me what you said. Just let go and do it. If the sky falls, we tall people will support it!"

That night, with the assistance of the foreign affairs department, all the contract agreements were completed.

The next day, the contract agreement was signed.

Liu Tao returned to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building with the signed contract agreement and handed it to Wang Baoguo.

"Will you go back to the factory next, or stay in Beijing?" Wang Baoguo put away the contract agreement and looked at Liu Tao.

Liu Tao said: "I won't go back yet. I'll go for a walk and see if I can talk about more orders."

The more orders, the better.

The most feared thing for military factories is not that they can't produce enough, but that they are afraid of no orders!

As long as there are orders, they can be rushed out by working overtime.

No orders, that means hard times will come.

"Okay, you decide on this matter yourself. When you return to Kunming, go to Comrade Wang Tiezhu for the technical data of armored vehicles, radars, etc. He will hand them over to you." Wang Baoguo nodded.

Liu Tao was delighted when he heard this.

With the technical data, spare parts, and the guidance of relevant technicians, it would be much easier for him to manufacture armored vehicles, radars, etc., and he would not need to explore step by step.

"Remember, these are all confidential, and you must not leak them!" Wang Baoguo said.

Liu Tao naturally understood this truth, "Understood, I will definitely keep it confidential!"

After leaving Wang Baoguo's office, Liu Tao went home.

Second sister Liu Honglei was cooking, and brother-in-law Chen Weimin was taking care of the children.

About half an hour later, Liu Ziyu also went home from school.

Next year, Liu Ziyu will take the high school entrance examination. With Liu Ziyu's current grades, there will be no problem in getting into high school.

This year, Liu Ziyu's academic performance has improved a lot, and he has already ranked first and second in the school grade.

Not long after, Liu Zhenbang and Chen Fang also went home.

The family happily ate lunch.

In the next time, Liu Tao went out for a walk.

He chose Thailand as his first stop.

Before, after Laos and Cambodia were successively controlled by South Vietnam, more than 200,000 Vietnamese troops squatted in Laos and Cambodia, which made Thailand deeply worried about the serious military threat from South Vietnam. They even said in public: South Vietnam’s next target is Thailand!

And the fact is that South Vietnam often invaded Thailand and clashed with the Thai army.

But the Thai army was weak and far inferior to the Vietnamese army.

And the "Red Roar" greatly changed the regional situation. Most of the more than 200,000 Vietnamese troops withdrew from Laos and Cambodia. After all, they suffered heavy losses and almost lost their nests.

At this time, Thailand's economy was developing rapidly, and the growth rate was often more than 10% or even 20%. By last year, Thailand's GDP had reached 24 billion US dollars, which can be said to be quite rich.

The most important thing is that Thailand is very close to Yunnan Province. As long as the land route is slightly opened up about 120 kilometers, the land transportation line can be directly opened and land transportation can be directly used.

To open up this 120-kilometer transportation line, you only need to set up a security company that specializes in this work.

Anyway, the last thing we lack is people. Let alone setting up one security company, even setting up ten or a hundred is not a problem.

And whether it is Myanmar, Laos or Cambodia, they all have very good geographical locations and a lot of resources.

For example, Myanmar's mineral resources mainly include tin, tungsten, zinc, aluminum, antimony, manganese, gold, silver, etc., gems and jade enjoy a high reputation in the world, coal reserves are hundreds of millions of tons, oil reserves exceed one billion barrels, natural gas also exceeds three trillion cubic feet, and there is relatively abundant oil.

Laos also has crazy natural resources, with more than 20 kinds of minerals such as gold, copper, tin, lead, potassium, iron, gypsum, coal, salt, etc., tin reserves exceed 60,000 tons, and most of the mineral resources are undeveloped.

Cambodia has gold, gems, and oil.

Moreover, these countries are located in the tropics, with rich timber resources, abundant water, and abundant rice.

If you set up a security company, you will definitely not worry about business in these places, and the returns should be very generous.

The most important thing is that maybe you can borrow chickens to lay eggs and let Yunnan Province have an outlet to the sea!

Liu Tao came to No. 40 Guanghua Road, looking at the building, and secretly looking forward to not returning empty-handed this time.

Liu Tao came to the guard and explained his purpose. The guard kept looking at Liu Tao with doubts in his eyes, but still reported to the leader.

Soon, Liu Tao was taken in. When he entered the gate, he was warned not to walk around or look around.

Liu Tao secretly curled his lips in his heart. It was so formal that people who didn't know would think there were many secrets here.
