Chapter 84 Daxia's Speed
South Australia, capital.
Mohan was processing documents while listening to the news on TV.
“The manned spacecraft launched by Daxia this morning has now completed docking with the space station. This is the fifth manned spacecraft launched by Daxia in the past six months.
According to relevant sources, Daxia plans to carry out a manned lunar exploration program in the remaining six months of this year."
Mohan frowned when he heard this.
After thinking for a while, he called his secretary in and asked, "Is there still no specific response from Daxia?"
When the secretary heard this, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
During this period, they raised the export price of Daxia ore three times, and now it has increased by 8% based on the original price.
He even stated several times through private connections that as long as Daxia told South Australia about the effect of Fanjing Stone, South Australia would immediately adjust the price of the ore back to its original level.
But Daxia seemed to have turned a deaf ear to all this and did not make any response. Even the rise in ore prices was just the same as before, with only a slight protest made during the foreign affairs meeting.
Very strange.
He shook his head, and Mohan cursed him inwardly as "useless thing", then waved his hand and drove him out impatiently.
Mohan thought about it for a long time in the office, but he still didn't have a reliable answer. Then he picked up the phone and dialed.
The call was quickly connected, and Mohan did not hesitate to speak immediately: "Is this President Wells's office? I am Mohan from South Australia."
Not long after, the call was transferred to Wells.
"Hi, Mohan. What is it that requires you to call my office personally?"
Hearing the voice of the female president coming from the other side, Mohan quickly replied: "It is like this, I believe you also know that Daxia has recently invested heavily in aerospace projects. This phenomenon is not normal. Does your country have any relevant information about this?"
"Oh, so that's it. You must have made a lot of money from the recent increase in the price of South Australia's ore exports to Daxia, haha."
Mohan was stunned hearing this.
Is this the number one person chosen by Da Piaoliang now?
Is this something a president can say?
He always thought that he was very shameless, but he didn't expect that Wells on the other end of the phone had no bottom line in this regard.
Who the hell has ever seen a president of a country soliciting bribes from a president of the same power?
Mohan felt insulted and immediately had the urge to hang up the phone. However, Daxia's abnormal behavior during this period still made him feel uneasy.
After thinking about it, he finally implicitly expressed that a sum of money would be transferred to the other party's anonymous account.
And Wells on the other side was also very trustworthy after getting the desired results.
"According to our intelligence department, Daxia has broken the routine and vigorously developed the aerospace industry. The main reason is that several technologies of Xinghai Technology have greatly improved the development of aerospace.
Moreover, most of the funds were borne by Xinghai, so it should be said that it was with the support of Xinghai that Daxia suddenly decided to vigorously develop the aerospace industry.
I guess Xinghai also wants to become an aerospace company like our American company Spieth."
The phone call was hung up, and Mohan finally felt relieved. It seemed that nothing big had changed.
After all, the pricing of ore is controlled by South Australia. I think Daxia can only accept it helplessly.
After thinking this through, his face couldn't help but regain its calm look.
Central Daxia, Aerospace City, Xinghai Aerospace Base. Fan Ren stood in front of the huge French window in the office on the top floor of the base. At the end of the surface in the distance, the towering rocket pierced straight into the sky like a sharp sword, and then disappeared.
This is the last manned launch mission this month and the sixth in six months.
After this launch, the Ministry of Space's launch mission will be suspended for a period of time.
"Don't look at it, bro. Ours is much better than that."
Behind him, Liu Jun was sitting with his legs crossed, holding a cigarette in one hand. He had a fat belly after not seeing him for a long time.
Fan Ren turned around and looked at him, then shook his head helplessly, unable to do anything about his appearance.
It has been four years since I graduated from college. The once elegant and handsome rich second generation has become what he is today after going through countless drinking parties.
"When you're done here, remember to wash your teeth before you leave. If Su Yurou finds out that you've been beaten like this, she'll come to me and complain."
As he spoke, he walked to the sofa, picked up a cigarette and lit it.
"If she dares, I'll beat her up."
"hehe."
Fan Ren gave him a thumbs up, but he didn't believe it.
"It's boring if we don't talk about this. Second brother, are we really going to invest all our money in this?"
Liu Jun curled his lips, then looked at him with a heartbroken expression, full of disappointment.
"Well, Mr. Ye and several department heads have helped me set up the framework. Now it's up to us. But it's already good. This time, we took advantage of this opportunity and, with the tacit approval of the Ministry of Aerospace, recruited many graduates of related majors. After a few months of training, they are more or less useful."
Thinking about the hundreds of young engineers recruited from major universities in the base, Fan Ren showed a sincere smile on his face.
Over the past six months, with the help of Li Jiandong and Yin Shangjin, chief engineer of Aerospace City, the newly recruited engineers of Xinghai Base can visit and study at the launch base of Aerospace City at any time and anywhere, and even perform practical work under the guidance of the masters there.
Half a year ago, after a series of discussions and negotiations.
Finally, with the approval of Mr. Ye, Xinghai invested 200 billion yuan in Daxia Aerospace Department and reached a strategic partnership with Daxia Aerospace Department.
There are benefits of cooperation between the two parties, such as technology sharing, mutual talent training base, etc.
At the same time, with sufficient funds, the Ministry of Aerospace plans to launch six manned spacecraft missions in half a year to complete the construction of the "Asgard Space Station" as quickly as possible.
As well as dozens of manned launch missions, the final work of the lunar exploration project was completed at the fastest speed, and the communication system, path, landing test and return test were all completed.
This high efficiency not only astounded Fan Ren, but also made other forces around the world nervous.
What happened to Daxia?
Why are you so crazy?
With a one-time investment of 200 billion yuan, all the launch missions for the next two years were concentrated and completed within half a year.
While being shocked by Da Xia's mysterious operation, one also lamented that among all the forces in the world, only Da Xia had such high efficiency that it could complete these tasks safely and successfully in a short period of time.
But only Fanren and a few insiders know about it.
This time, Mr. Ye changed his previous philosophy of "slow and steady progress", in large part because he was inspired by the great blueprint described by Fan Ren.
Of course, a small part of the reason comes from the fact that South Australia has repeatedly manipulated the export price of ore, and Daxia is helpless about it.
