Chapter 706 Promise (First Update)
"I think the oil field may not be safe, because they are now in too much conflict over there!" Liu Hai finally refused.
Although history has changed a lot, the strength of the bald eagle is still beyond doubt.
Another more critical point is that we can't confront the bald eagle openly.
Even if there are conflicts between the future Taurus and the Gallic rooster and the bald eagle, their strategies for the Middle Eastern countries are consistent.
The reason why the hoopoe can survive in the Middle East is not only the support of the bald eagle.
To put it bluntly, the hoopoe is just a nail there.
If he doesn't make trouble there, no one will support him.
"Do you think the conflict in that area will expand?" Sun Aiguo thinks that the conflict between the Kingdom of Babylon and the Kingdom of Persia is already big enough.
"Director, oil is the lifeblood of industry. Although these countries in the Middle East are rich in oil, you also know their military strength."
"Although some countries claim to have the third-highest military strength in the world, these are all purchased. If other countries do not provide them with weapons and ammunition, then these things they bought will be gone after they are used."
"In addition, they have oil, which will inevitably become a place for other major powers to clash."
"It is impossible for them to do things according to their own ideas, and the style of the current leader of the Kingdom of Babylon is probably a bit too complacent." In fact, from another perspective.
The leader of the Kingdom of Babylon was also a great leader. At least when he was there, the living standards of the people in their country were very high.
However, many people want freedom, but if everyone wants freedom, the whole country will be in chaos.
Although the freedom promoted by the West is very powerful, you will only know it if you join it yourself.
This freedom is also freedom under the rules, and they can even temporarily introduce some bills to change the rules.
"And since oil has become the lifeline of industry, whichever country controls and affects oil will affect the industry of the whole world."
"I think the bald eagle will not give up. The bald eagle will use various means to make the price of oil obey his will."
"It may even force oil to be settled in US dollars in the future. Historically, the US dollar was once tied to gold. Now that oil is an indispensable raw material for industry, do you think the bald eagle will miss such an opportunity?"
"But there is more than one superpower in the world, so these countries may become more and more chaotic in the future. Even if they get the oil fields, what will happen? By then, these countries will be in chaos and will not be able to extract oil at all." Liu Hai took a sip of tea after he finished speaking.
Our country is indeed much stronger than in history, but no matter from any angle, the gap with the bald eagle is too big, not to mention the current fat bear.
To deal with a superpower like the bald eagle, we can only take it slowly.
After listening to it, Sun Aiguo felt that what Liu Hai said made sense.
"In fact, the Bald Eagle is now planning to take control of the oil resources in the Middle East. There are several oil-producing countries there that have very good relations with the Bald Eagle."
"It's a pity that our overall strength is not strong, not to mention that our current foreign policy does not interfere with the domestic situation of other countries."
Liu Hai heard this and said, "In fact, Southeast Asia and the South China Sea should have abundant oil and gas resources."
"The next step is that we should focus on offshore oil exploitation, but the technical difficulty may be higher."
"Of course, the Bald Eagle will not do it so nakedly now, because his biggest goal now is to fight the Fat Bear. It is unknown how long it will take for these two countries to decide the winner." No one expected that the Fat Bear would fall apart in just ten years.
This is something that no one in the world could have thought of, and Liu Hai certainly would not say it.
So the Kingdom of Babylon would not have thought that the Bald Eagle would beat him up in person later.
No one has seen the world pattern 10 years later, so it is inevitable that there are some mistakes in judging the situation. Although it seems that the other party is giving us the oil fields now, this is a good condition.
But once the Fat Bear collapses later, the Bald Eagle will definitely make trouble.
Liu Hai will not take the vaccine until the time is right.
We just take this opportunity to work hard to develop our industry. If we develop for another 10 years, the industry will be stronger and our influence on the world will be stronger.
Why did we want to minimize our profits through dealers in the early days?
Many people have overlooked a problem and think that it is wrong to sell goods at low prices, because the money that should be earned must be earned.
But Liu Hai saw another problem, which is the subsequent impact of market share.
The first is the standard. The higher the share of industrial goods, the more standards of this commodity will affect the country.
Simply speaking, for a socket, if we sell more tools and more industrial products, then the country will tend to our electricity standards in terms of power supply and power structure.
In addition, there is after-sales maintenance. The greater the market share, the cheaper and simpler the after-sales maintenance.
When Liu Hai traveled through time in his previous life, why was Volkswagen's car so popular? On the one hand, there are historical reasons. In history, this kind of car was the best when the automobile industry started.
The other aspect is after-sales maintenance. You can find a repair shop to repair Volkswagen cars anywhere you go. But if you want to buy a niche car, maybe after it breaks down, you can’t find a repair shop on the one hand, and you can’t find a repair shop on the other hand if you want to buy a niche car. If others don’t have spare parts, you might have to wait 10 days and a half to get the car.
If you are going to buy a car, will you buy a niche car that is broken down and there is no place to repair it, even if you find a place without spare parts, or will you buy a car that has cheap and convenient after-sales maintenance?
The same goes for industrial products, especially mechanical products, whether they are lathes, stamping equipment, excavators, loaders, etc.
The machine tools and other industrial equipment that our country is gradually phasing out are basically priced at cabbage prices and then exchanged for resources from third world countries.
Those countries just need these machine tools and other processing equipment that we have eliminated.
As our industry develops, these obsolete equipment will continue to flow into third world countries, and the impact will become greater and greater.
"These two countries are too powerful. According to the news, Fat Bear may have more than 100,000 tanks." Sun Aiguo knew more. He could probably guess how much wealth Fat Bear had, and Bald Eagle was an aircraft carrier fleet.
Although our country's current industrial strength is very strong, it is still much weaker than these two countries. The key is that these two countries have a solid foundation.
In terms of per capita income, our country is still very low. On the one hand, there are too many people.
On the other hand, although our industrial achievements are very eye-catching, the profits we make are not as high as those made by dealers.
Liu Hai said: "The old capitalist powers, together with the bald eagle and the fat bear, are the beneficiaries of World War II."
"During World War II, bald eagles supplied almost all the steel and crude oil the world needed."
"We can't compare to normal, but now we just want to focus on development and let the people live a better and better life."
Sun Aiguo said: "It's tiring to deal with people like Bald Eagle. Recently they offered to sell us the F16, but they are only willing to sell the castrated version."
"Let's not buy from them. Don't give the money to the bald eagle to make money. When I finish my work, I will see how difficult this fighter engine is?" Liu Hai rejected it at once.
"You definitely can't buy it. Gallic Chicken also intends to sell Mirage 2000 to us, but on the one hand, the price is too high, and on the other hand, even the fat bear and bald eagle are opposed to it, and there are also many people in their country who are opposed to it."
"And they don't transfer any technology. In addition, we are already developing a new generation of fighter jets, so some of us here are opposed to purchasing foreign fighter jets, so there is no result yet on this matter."
"But our development in fighter jets is somewhat weak. The development of foreign fighter jets is showing a blowout. It is said that the Bald Eagle's F16 will soon enter service with new carrier-based fighter jets, stealth fighters, and strategic bombers."
"We have too few aircraft-related professionals. Although we have trained a lot of talents over the years, most of them are relatively young."
"I used to think that the aircraft manufacturing technology of our factory was almost the same as the world's advanced technology. However, after a recent meeting, I learned that the technical equipment transferred to us by McDonnell Douglas still lags behind us."
"This does not mean that any one development can make up for it, but that all-round aircraft design and manufacturing is an industry with strong comprehensive performance."
"Originally, the superior department was a little hesitant. After all, the performance of the Mirage 2000 is very good. Our pilots said it was great after flying it."
"Now that you are doing this, the higher-ups will be relieved."
Liu Hai nodded. Historically, our aviation industry only gradually exploded after 2010, because this industry has very high requirements for knowledge.
"I'm afraid I can only do mechanical and power aspects, that is, engines. I can't do other radars." Liu Hai said.
"Um!"
Sun Aiguo asked again: "We don't want the oil field now, so what should we do?"
"After all, if there is no oil field, I'm afraid this deal won't be reached?"
Liu Hai chuckled: "Let them borrow money, or let them borrow oil."
Liu Hai knew that in history, the Kingdom of Babylon went to the next door to borrow money, and then went to beat others because they didn't want to pay back the money, and wanted to directly occupy other people's territory.
Then he was beaten up by a bald eagle. Since you could borrow money in history, you can also borrow oil and borrow money now.
"That's all we can do." Sun Aiguo nodded.
In fact, this later incident became more outrageous. On the one hand, the Kingdom of Babylon and the Kingdom of Persia borrowed money everywhere to buy flying motorcycles.
On the other hand, the dealer finally accepted the oil fields of the Kingdom of Babylon.
But the dealer made a cunning move and directly used the mining rights of these oil fields to Bald Eagle's bank for loans.
Anyway, the banks of these bald eagles suffered huge losses later. Of course, it seems to be a very profitable business now. After all, let’s not talk about how good the oil fields in the Kingdom of Babylon are.
After the superior departments received the news that Liu Hai was going to personally build fighter engines, they stopped buying foreign fighter jets.
Liu Hai continued to work on his magically modified flying motorcycle.
In November 1980, Genri, the most powerful actor in history, became the head of Bald Eagle.
It was the Star Wars project led by this guy that sent Fat Bear away.
When Liu Hai saw the news in the newspaper, he smiled slightly, because as long as Bald Eagle started Star Wars, his novels and movies would probably be bestsellers again.
He had written several science fiction novels, and by then, there would be many movies in this environment, and companies would want to make movies.
He could take the opportunity to make a lot of money again.
In December 1980, the movie "Resident Evil" began to be promoted, and the filming time of this movie was not very long.
At the same time, the first fantasy movie "Orc Invasion" was also promoted.
There was also the animated movie "Gundam". As for "Transformers", it will not be released this year, but next year.
The most popular one is the fantasy movie "Orc Invasion".
This movie has been filmed for many years. It is said that when the filming was at its peak, there were more than 20,000 extras. It is said that all the actors registered in the actors' union were pulled to film.
The total investment of this movie reached 160 million US dollars.
Liu Hai was at his ex-father-in-law's house. Before the last script he wrote, his father-in-law asked his men to fill in the details, that is, the storyboard script.
This is the final version, because it was revised several times in the middle.
"It's almost done now." Liu Hai finished reading the final version of the storyboard script.
The screenwriters in Hong Kong Island are very fast. It was less than a week since they gave their opinions last time.
"Look at these actors, which ones can be the protagonists?" The former father-in-law took out a thick stack of information again.
There was a photo on each piece of information.
"This big nose is unique and can be one of the protagonists." Liu Hai looked and found Uncle Long.
"There is a mole next to this nose, which is a significant feature and can also be the protagonist."
"This actress can be the protagonist." Liu Hai saw Qingxia again, who has very oriental characteristics.
These are the three protagonists in the script.
The former father-in-law nodded, and then asked: "Who among these three people will be the villain?"
There are three people in the plot, one of whom is a traitor, that is, the villain.
"The one with the mole will be the villain." Liu Hai said.
As for the other characters, it doesn't matter, but the final villain boss is a woman, and the prototype is Shimakawa Fangzi.
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it right away." The former father-in-law nodded.
"How is the preparation group for the Three Kingdoms?" Liu Hai asked.
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait a long time for the script. Some things are too controversial. As for the location of the film and television city, everyone thinks Xuzhou is a good place, and there is Weishan Lake next to it." The father-in-law said.
Liu Hai nodded. This kind of super-large project is not suitable for Kyoto. It occupies too much land and the cost of filming in Kyoto will be very high after it is formed.
The place chosen now is famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms. When a film and television city is formed there in the future, it can also drive the local economy.
But Liu Hai seems to remember that Weishan Lake is not in Xuzhou, right?
The former father-in-law is now full of confidence. With the script polished by Liu Hai and the actors selected by Liu Hai himself, the movie will definitely be fine.
The father-in-law does not want anyone to invest, but invests himself, and personally goes to various places to shoot, and tries to restore the scenes at that time, such as the height of those people at that time.
After having dinner at the former father-in-law's house, Liu Hai drove home.
Junior sister has been pregnant with her second child for more than five months, and her diet and daily life are all taken care of by the master's wife.
"I'm back." Junior sister was watching TV on the sofa.
Liu Hai took off his coat before entering the house.
"How do you feel today?" Liu Hai asked after sitting down.
"Everything is good."
"It's almost the end of the year. According to our current dividend ratio, some people can get more than 1 million after tax." Junior sister looked at Liu Hai when she said this.
Liu Hai had already proposed to the higher authorities to implement personal income tax, but most people in the country could not reach the threshold at this time.
"Let's divide it. I'm afraid that the patent fee for this drug has collected hundreds of millions of dollars this year!" The patent fee for this drug is not all given to the Drug Research Institute. The Drug Research Institute instructed that it occupied a very small proportion, and the majority of it still belongs to Liu Hai, the investor.
However, although it is only a small proportion of the patent fee, the base is more than 100 million US dollars.
Of course, part of the patents obtained by the Drug Research Institute belong to the Drug Research Institute, and the rest are the share of the relevant personnel in the laboratory.
Even so, the most people can get more than 1 million.
"After this news is announced, I'm afraid it will cause a strong response." Junior sister said with some worry.
"The more you work, the more you get. I think it's better to promote it, but you can ask the superior department for instructions on this matter." Liu Hai thought it was better to promote it.
"I have already asked for instructions, and the superior department agreed, and the superior department also wants to promote it." Junior sister sighed.
Liu Hai understood what Junior sister meant, but it was reasonable for the superior department to want to promote it. After all, in the field of Western medicine research and development, we basically have no achievements, and now we have finally achieved results, how can we not promote it.
"Then listen to the superior department." Liu Hai said with a smile.
"This orc invasion movie shot in the West is so good, better than I thought." Junior sister looked at her senior brother with admiration in her eyes.
Why Junior sister can see the magic movie, it's because the movie was sent to Liu Hai first, so that Liu Hai can see it first.
"Their movie is indeed a classic." Liu Hai nodded. The main reason is that the props in it look too realistic. The tall orcs in it are all Cosplay props.
As for the large weapons in it, most of them are made of fiberglass. Many shots were taken because the props and costumes are too heavy, and even a group of shots were taken every few seconds.
"After watching the movie Resident Evil, I often feel that my colleagues may bite me in the next second. I dare not watch it a second time."
"That's the effect we want!" Liu Hai smiled. Horror movies are supposed to be this kind of horror.
It's not that blood and gore are considered scary. It's scary enough to make people feel psychologically scary.
"How is Sister Xiaoyun's father's movie?" Junior Sister asked again.
"The script is ready. He will go back to organize people to shoot tomorrow." The former father-in-law can't wait to shoot the movie and strive for the Christmas schedule in Hollywood next year.
"Do you want to get up and walk?"
"I don't want to walk. I walked a lot during the day."
"Then don't walk. I'll give you a massage." Liu Hai then massaged Junior Sister's legs.
