Chapter 124 Lao Maozi’s Rules
“Brother Tao, how do you feel?” Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao worriedly.
The dinner party has dispersed, and all the old men were carried out. Qin Tao and Zhao Ling returned to the room where they stayed.
Lao Maozi is very generous. All the rooms provided to them are single rooms. Qin Tao and Zhao Ling's rooms are still next to each other.
Qin Tao seemed to have drank a lot today, so Zhao Ling was a little worried.
"It's okay. With Li Taibai here, it will save us a lot of trouble. Otherwise, all of us will probably be carried out today." Qin Tao said: "Li Taibai had a great time drinking today."
"What Li Taibai? He can do nothing but drink. Brother Tao, if you are an alcoholic who only knows how to drink, I won't like you." Zhao Ling said.
Qin Tao smiled: "Being able to drink is also a skill."
At this time, the two of them had entered the room. Qin Tao was sitting on the bedside, watching Zhao Ling pour the water. The back view was so attractive.
“Humph, you guys just like to drink,” Zhao Ling said.
“The culture of the wine table is also very important.” Qin Tao said: “Today’s meal is meaningful.”
"has no meaning?"
Zhao Ling has already seen Qin Tao and Nicholas drinking. They became good friends because of drinking, so they did some business. However, the people drinking now are all senior officials of Lao Maozi. Could these people be able to do anything after drinking? Have you given up some principles?
"Didn't Lao Maozi disagree with us watching the Su-27 fighter jets? After this drink, they failed, so they have to admit defeat and let us watch the Su-27 fighter jets." Qin Tao took the water , then put his mouth to Zhao Ling's ear and whispered: "This is Lao Maozi's rule."
(What happened at that time has been widely spread, and there are many versions. Some said that they talked about the price over drinks, from 50 million US dollars to 30 million US dollars. The hero of East China was still suspicious of the price of 50 million US dollars. attitude, after all, in the early 1990s, the price of the F-15 was less than 30 million U.S. dollars. Inflation will continue in the later period, and the price will continue to rise.)
“What?” Zhao Ling opened her eyes wide.
Before coming out, the plan had been made. The target of the inspection team was the Su-27. However, Lao Maozi refused. Could it be that this meal of wine would make Lao Maozi change his mind?
“Just wait and see.” Qin Tao said, raised his head and drank the water.
“Well, I have nothing to do, you go back to sleep.” Qin Tao finished drinking the water and said to Zhao Ling.
"Who knows if you will vomit in the middle of the night, I'd better stay." Zhao Ling said, pushing Qin Tao: "You lie inside and I lie outside. We still have a gentleman's agreement. Whoever crosses the center line will be the winner." Beast."
“Oh, you are testing me.” Qin Tao said, “I don’t know if I will be worse than a beast tomorrow morning.”
“Then give it a try.”
Zhao Ling lay down.
“Why does Lao Maozi love drinking so much?”
“Brother Tao, tell me, what if I tamper with the wine when you are drinking with others, for example, replace the inside of the bottle with water, and then tear off a little of the label to make a mark?”
Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "Xiao Ling, Lao Maozi hates cheating at the wine table. If they find out, it will be troublesome."
“Then don’t let them find out.” Zhao Ling said, changing the subject: “I don’t really understand, how is that Su-27 fighter better than the MiG-29?”
"The MiG-29 has short legs and can only fly a few hundred kilometers. If it fires a few missiles, it has to fly back, otherwise it will run out of fuel. The Su-27 can fly one or two thousand kilometers. Think about it, if it is deployed to Hainan From the airport on the island, you can fly directly to Nansha and back." Qin Tao said: "Although it can only be purchased by the Air Force at present, in the future, our Navy will also have a share."
There are many similar benefits. The latter uses fly-by-wire control, which is more advanced. The latter has a huge body and has great potential for modification. The latter can become a carrier-based aircraft, which is what is most needed in the country!
Qin Tao's words made him spit out foam and stars, and he kept making gestures with his hands, crossing the center line involuntarily.
Snapped!
A few days later.
“My friends, thank you very much for your warm hospitality. We are going back.” Mr. Lin said to Belyakov who was seeing him off.
They came here just for a visit and inspection. They have already seen the MiG-29 and inspected the Mikoyan factory, so now they are coming to the end of their trip. As for the regrets in their hearts...
"Everyone, please wait!" At this moment, an officer ran over: "We have just received notice from our superiors that our government has approved in principle the sale of the Su-27. You can go to the 126 Factory in Gongqingcheng. Visit the Su-27 we are producing."
His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.
Zhao Ling was surprised for a while. What Qin Tao said was really right. After drinking a meal, he drank Lao Maozi down. As a result, he could get a Su-27 fighter jet?
This is too outrageous, right?
Of course, this is just one of the reasons. There are many real reasons. For example, Lao Maozi must have a good relationship with China and open the door to arms sales. Since he doesn’t like the MiG-29, he must sell Su- 27. For another example, their domestic economy is in recession and they also need to sell their arms. Also, the two sides talked about the friendly years, allowing them to reminisce about the past and express emotions and so on.
In short, the other party relented. Seeing that the inspection team from the east looked down upon their MiG-29, they finally decided to export the Su-27!
Everyone was excited.
Here in Lao Maozi, Mikoyan and Sukhoi are two famous aircraft design bureaus, both headquartered in Moscow, but the production plants are different.
The Sukhoi Design Bureau mainly has two factories, one of which is located in the Far East, the Gagarin Aircraft Factory in Komsomolsk on the Amur River, which mainly produces single-seat Su-27 fighters, and the Irkuts at the southern end of Lake Baikal in Eastern Siberia. The Croatian factory mainly produced the two-seat Su-27UB trainer aircraft. Later, they developed the famous Su-30 fighter-bomber based on this aircraft.
(There is also a less famous Novosibirsk factory. This factory used to produce MiG aircraft. Later, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Sukhoi took a stake in this factory and began to produce Sukhoi aircraft. These three The factory is collectively known as the Sukhoi Three Fantasy Gods.)
The group of people boarded the plane and headed to the Far East.
Li Daming was sitting in a corner of the plane, looking boredly at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. His bulging belly had also gone down. For this guy, no matter how much alcohol he had, he was not afraid. At this time, he felt a little He was bored and looking forward to more similar drinking parties where he could drink to his heart's content.
“Hey, brother, we will be separated from the Air Force after the inspection of Sukhoi. Then, you can follow us and continue drinking.” Qin Tao sat next to him and said to him.
Li Daming was so excited that he nodded repeatedly.
