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

"Wen Xiao, you probably know the purpose of finding you here this time. You know, our Pilot Project is targeted at the world's most advanced aero engine technology research and development, and the talents we absorb are also the best talents in this field in the world."

"You see, what you are doing is research on thermal power, which is a key technology in the field of aerospace engineering. If you lead a research team independently in the project, you will definitely achieve amazing results in the future."

"To be honest, we are very acknowledging your abilities. But on the other hand, we also believe that perhaps your abilities will bring us greater advantages in other aspects."

"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. But at the same time, we hope you can help us do something that can generate tangible benefits."

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

Sitting opposite him was Wen Xiao. The latter pondered for a moment and asked:

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

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

"We want to hire you as our technical consultant to analyze China's aero engine industry and understand the technical advantages and technical weaknesses of China Aero Engine companies. These industry analysis reports will be published in public---you know, in fact, this kind of report is not a secret in our place. Every year, there are a large number of practitioners and economists conduct similar analysis of our ugly country's aero Engine companies."

"Such reports will promote the healthy development of industries and enterprises to a certain extent. Of course, what is more important is to make a basis for investors' decisions."

"I won't tell you that we are noblely trying to help China's aviation industry develop, of course not. We just want to get more information and help us make more money ourselves, that's all."

Wen Xiao nodded and continued to ask:

"Why me?"

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

"In a sentence that may not be so appropriate, your asking price will not be too expensive, but it is very useful, right?"

Tom had a smile on his face, and Wen Xiao on the opposite side also smiled back at him.

"Mr. Tom, you are sincere. So can I ask, what will I get if I promised to take on this job as a technical consultant?"

"It's very simple. First of all, of course it's economic. This is an era of market economy. We will pay for your labor. In addition, we will also provide you with the best scientific research resources and priority cooperation quotas. 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 going to do is a bit insignificant in the face of these conditions you have proposed."

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

Tom said sincerely.

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

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

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

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

What technical consultants and industrial analysis are actually just a cover for cover. What these people really want to master is the information on the current development status of China's latest aerospace technology.

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

And his position on them is more of an intelligence officer than a so-called technical consultant.

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

Is it betrayal?

He doesn't think so.

In terms of China's current aerospace industry technology level, no aspect 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 confidential?

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

At worst, after your research group makes the results, you can use some of the results to compensate.

Wen Xiao thought about this, and the only guilt that had been left in his heart disappeared in a blink of an eye.

......

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

"How is it? Did the talk with him go smoothly?"

Tom nodded and replied:

"It went quite smoothly--he didn't even bargain. As I thought, as long as we could offer enough conditions, he would never refuse us."

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

"What kind of work do you want him to be responsible for?"

Tom asked with a frown.

"A lot of technical analysis, upstream and downstream industry analysis, and the research direction you mentioned... But to be honest, what I want to do most is to let him directly enter the Liming Aviation Factory, where we can get first-hand information."

Monte leaned down on the sofa, with an indifferent look on his face.

"I don't think you can convince him to enter Dawn Aircraft so easily. After all, the meaning of analyzing intelligence from edge information and directly and proactively obtaining intelligence is completely different."

"He can accept working for us, but he will most likely not accept working for us on such a bottom line. Especially when this matter involves the country."

"You know, the Chinese are sometimes very strange. They are obviously profit-oriented, but they value certain principles more than anyone else---not betray the country is one of them."

After hearing Tom's words, a sarcastic smile appeared on Monte's face. He gently tapped the table with his hands and replied:

"The people you mentioned are actually not the same type of people as the person you just talked about."

"Yes, there are some people in China that are indeed the same as you said, but Wen Xiao, he won't."

"He doesn't have that firm concept of family and country in his heart. He is a... borderless advocate."

After pausing for a few seconds, Mont continued:

"On the other hand, it doesn't matter if he rejected us at the beginning. I have some way to let him sink a little bit. Have you ever heard of the broken window effect? ​​When a window in a house is broken, the windows of the entire house will be completely damaged in a short period of time."

"And now, Wen Xiao's window has been broken by us. Will it be far from the day when all the glass is broken?"

Tom nodded in agreement, but then asked:

"How do you know they won't fill up the broken window?"

Monte laughed and replied:
Chapter completed!
