Chapter 124 Old Maozi's Rules

   "Brother Tao, how do you feel?" Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao worriedly.

  The dinner party was over, and those old men were all carried out. Qin Tao and Zhao Ling returned to the room where they stayed.

  Lao Maozi is very magnanimous, and all the rooms provided to them are single rooms, and the rooms of Qin Tao and Zhao Ling are still next to each other.

  Qin Tao seems to have drunk a lot today, so Zhao Ling is a little worried.

   "It's okay, with Li Taibai here, we will save a lot of trouble, otherwise, we will probably be carried out today." Qin Tao said: "Li Taibai had a good time drinking today."

   "What Li Taibai? He can't do anything except drink. Brother Tao, if you are an alcoholic who can only 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 had already entered the room. Qin Tao sat on the head of the bed, watching Zhao Ling go to pour water, that back view was so attractive.

   "Hmph, you guys just like to drink." Zhao Ling said.

   "Wine table culture is also very important." Qin Tao said: "Today's drink is meaningful."

"has no meaning?"

Zhao Ling has already seen Qin Tao and Nicholas drinking, and they have become good friends because of drinking, so they have done some business, but now all the senior officials drinking are Lao Maozi, how can these people be able to drink after drinking? Abandoned certain principles?

"Didn't the old man disagree with us going to see the Su-27 fighter jet? After drinking this meal, they failed, so they have to admit defeat and let us go see the Su-27 fighter jet." Qin Tao took the water , then put his mouth to Zhao Ling's ear, and whispered: "This is the old Maozi's rule."

(The story at that time has been spread very well, and there are many versions. Some say that the price was negotiated after drinking, from 50 million U.S. dollars to 30 million U.S. dollars. For the price of 50 million U.S. dollars, the hero of East China is still skeptical After all, in the early 1990s, the price of the F-15 was less than 30 million U.S. dollars. Inflation continued in the later period, and the price will continue to rise.)

   "What?" Zhao Ling opened her eyes wide.

  Before they came out, the plan had already been made. The goal of the inspection team was the Su-27, but the old man refused. Could it be that this drink made the old man change his mind?

   "Just wait and see." Qin Tao said, raised his head, and gulped down the water.

   "Well, I'm fine, you go back to sleep." Qin Tao said to Zhao Ling after drinking the water.

"Who knows if you'll vomit in the middle of the night, I'd better stay." Zhao Ling said, pushing Qin Tao: "You lie inside, I lie outside, we still have a gentleman's agreement, whoever crosses the center line, whoever is beast."

   "Hey, you are testing me." Qin Tao said, "I don't know if I will be inferior to a beast tomorrow morning."

   "Then try it."

  Zhao Ling lay down.

   "Why does Lao Maozi like drinking so much?"

"Because it's freezing here, drinking can keep them warm." Qin Tao said: "For Lao Maozi, they can skip food, but they must drink. Every winter, there will be drunk Lao Maozi outside. He fell asleep and died of freezing. The long-term living habits made the old man like drinking very much, and he also regarded drinking as a diplomatic means. Back then, Ah San came to buy equipment, but he was bullied by the old man. Now, the old man If you want to force us, there is no way. If we lose this time, they have to give us benefits."

   "Brother Tao, tell me, if when you are drinking with others, I will tamper with the wine for you, for example, replace the wine bottle with water, and then tear off the label to mark it, how about it?"

  Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "Xiao Ling, Lao Maozi really 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 the Su-27 fighter better than the MiG-29?"

"The MiG-29 has short legs and can only fly a few hundred kilometers. If it is loaded with 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 then 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 great potential for modification. The latter can become a carrier-based aircraft, which is the most needed in China!

  Qin Tao was spitting and spitting, and his hands kept gesticulating, and he crossed the center line involuntarily.

Snapped!

A few days later.

   "My friends, thank you very much for your hospitality. We are going back." Elder Lin said to Belyakov who saw him off.

  They came here to visit and investigate. They have already seen the MiG-29 and Mikoyan’s factory, so now they are going to end their trip. As for the regrets in their hearts...

"Everyone, please wait!" At this time, an officer ran over: "We have just received a notice from our superiors that our government has approved the sale of the Su-27 in principle. You can go to the 126 factory in Komsomolsk. Visit the Su-27 we are producing."

   His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.

  Zhao Ling was surprised for a while, Qin Tao was really right, drank a lot of wine, poured the old man down, and as a result, he could get the Su-27 fighter jet?

   Isn't this too outrageous?

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. There are many other real reasons. For example, the old man must establish 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 own arms. Also, the two sides talked about that period of friendship, let them recall the past, filled with emotion and so on.

  In short, the other party relented. Seeing that the inspection team from the east looked down on their MiG-29, they finally decided to export the Su-27!

  Everyone was excited.

   For 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 Komsomolsk Gagarin Aircraft Factory on the Amur River, which mainly produces single-seat Su-27 fighters, and the East Siberia region, Irkut at the south end of Lake Baikal The Ke factory mainly produces the two-seat Su-27UB trainer aircraft. Later, they developed the famous Su-30 fighter-bomber on the basis of this aircraft.

(There is also a not-so-famous Novosibirsk factory. This factory used to produce MiG aircraft. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, this factory was held by Sukhoi and began to produce Sukhoi aircraft. These three The factory is collectively called the Sukhoi Three Fantasy Gods.)

   A group of people boarded the plane and headed for 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 stomach had already gone down. For this guy, no amount of alcohol was afraid. At this time, he was a little Bored, looking forward to more similar drinking sessions, let him drink to his heart's content.

   "Hey, buddy, we will be separated from the Air Force after the inspection of Sukhoi. At that time, you can continue to drink with us." Qin Tao sat next to him and said to him.

   Li Daming nodded excitedly.
