174: Chapter 174 More Money? Huge Changes at Changxing Shipyard!

Once the formal cooperation was confirmed, Lu Zhiguo said:

"Engineer Xu, this is what I have in mind for the subsequent profit distribution."

"For every LG-Turbofan Engine sold, Xu's Heavy Industry Group will receive 55% of the profit."

"At the same time, I will take 11 percent of the shares I hold in Jiangnan Aviation Group and transfer them to you free of charge."

"Engineer Xu, what do you think?"

Lu Zhiguo looked at Xu Hao with expectant eyes.

Actually.

Before this, he had intended to directly give 60% of the profits to Xu's Heavy Industry, with no intention of transferring shares.

But after learning that Xu Hao had independently developed the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber, he immediately made this impulsive decision!

Was it a loss?

It was indeed a bit of a loss...

After all, Jiangnan Aviation was an established aviation company.

Although it was slightly inferior compared to Northern Airlines, it still possessed significant strength.

Moreover, its annual profits were not low.

The eleven percent of shares transferred to Xu Hao free of charge would amount to at least several hundred million in year-end dividends.

The reason Lu Zhiguo did this was entirely because he had gained a deeper understanding of Xu Hao.

If Xu Hao's independent development of the A-225 Transport Aircraft and the LG-Turbofan Engine last time made him realize that Xu Hao was a researcher with a certain level of strength,

Then after learning that Xu Hao could even independently develop the H-20 bomber,

Xu Hao's weight in his heart instantly rose to a new level.

Such a person could no longer be simply referred to as a scientific researcher.

A titan of technology, a pioneer of national science, a technological trailblazer...

These descriptions might be more appropriate.

He understood.

As long as they were tied to the giant ship that was Xu Hao, the future Jiangnan Aviation Group would rise like a skyscraper from the ground, and its meteoric rise would be just around the corner.

It seemed like he was taking a loss.

But from a long-term perspective, it was simply a massive gain!

Of course, Xu Hao was making a guaranteed profit without any risk.

He didn't have to do anything; he could just sit back and collect the money.

The premise was... that Chairman Xu would agree...

Xu Hao had also not expected Lu Zhiguo to invest so heavily.

A 55% net profit share.

And even transferring eleven percent of his personal shares to him for free?!

Xu Hao: ???

This was... a bit too generous, wasn't it?

Even though Xu Hao was not short on money, he was still shocked by Lu Zhiguo's move!

He was also puzzled in his heart.

Lately, why did people keep trying to give him money...

However, after some thought, Xu Hao also understood what Lu Zhiguo was after.

It was nothing more than seeing the value in him.

By giving up so much profit, Lu Zhiguo was essentially investing in him.

Xu Hao thought to himself:

"As expected of a veteran businessman, the calculations in his head can be heard from a mile away."

But that was fine.

It was inevitable for businessmen to pursue profit.

Moreover, this was an established state-owned enterprise, and Lu Zhiguo himself also came from a research background.

In terms of character and ethics, there were no issues.

He thought for a moment and asked with a smile:

"General Manager Lu, doing this really makes it hard for me to refuse!"

No one would complain about having too much money, especially when it was earned for nothing.

As long as he held these eleven percent of shares, he could continuously enjoy the dividends from Jiangnan Aviation.

Not only that.

After the subsequent change in equity distribution, he would also have the right to participate in the board of directors.

It had to be said that Lu Zhiguo was quite bold, and Xu Hao admired him a little.

Since that was the case, Xu Hao would also fulfill his wish.

If Lu Zhiguo was investing in him, then he would invest in Jiangnan Aviation Group.

Don't forget, he was a person with the MOSS Technology System.

Aviation engines weren't just turbofans.

There were many more in the 'Future Technology Mall'...

Xu Hao said:

"Since General Manager Lu is being so straightforward, it would seem petty of me not to agree."

"Deal!"

Xu Hao reached out his hand.

Seeing this, Lu Zhiguo beamed with joy.

"Hahaha, Chairman Xu's agreement is giving me, Lu, a lot of face."

Lu Zhiguo also reached out and solemnly shook hands with Xu Hao.

In this way, not only was the cooperation reached, but the subsequent profit distribution was also confirmed.

The most important thing next was the subsequent research plan.

"Engineer Xu, how will the subsequent research and development of the LG-Turbofan Engine proceed?"

Lu Zhiguo asked with great concern.

The implementation of the research plan was related to the production of the LG-Turbofan Engine.

It was very important.

Xu Hao did not rush to answer but fell into thought.

After the security investigation, Jiangnan Aviation Group now also belonged to the category of confidential units.

In terms of confidentiality, there was naturally no need to worry.

The research, development, and production of the LG-Turbofan Engine were actually centered around two places:

Xu's Heavy Industry and Jiangnan Aviation Group.

But Xu Hao was thinking that the Underground Research Institute of Xu's Heavy Industry would need to undertake other research projects in the future.

If researchers from Jiangnan Aviation were to move in, it might be difficult to carry out future work.

So...

Xu Hao made a decision.

"How about this!" Xu Hao raised an eyebrow.

"I will transfer two core researchers from the LG-Turbofan Engine research team to join Jiangnan Aviation's R&D team."

"Let them lead your researchers in R&D and production. What do you think, General Manager Lu?"

Xu Hao asked.

Lu Zhiguo naturally had no objection.

"No problem, everything will be according to Chairman Xu's arrangements!"

It was the same regardless of where the R&D took place.

On the contrary, he was even more willing to have it at Jiangnan Aviation's own company.

"Then it's settled!"

"Later, I will discuss it with the LG-Turbofan Engine research team and dispatch two researchers to Jiangnan Aviation!"

Xu Hao finalized the decision.

Lu Zhiguo nodded in agreement.

Thus.

The deep cooperation between Jiangnan Aviation Group and Xu's Heavy Industry Group regarding the LG-Turbofan Engine was fully implemented in all aspects.

A weight finally lifted from Lu Zhiguo's heart, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

The smile on his face could not be contained.

After chatting for a while, Lu Zhiguo took his leave.

...

Meanwhile, on Changxing Island along the coast of the Dragon Kingdom.

Various tasks were also being carried out in full swing.

The construction of the airport had already begun.

It was being built entirely according to military airport standards.

When necessary, it could allow various models of Dragon Kingdom fighter jets to land and take off freely.

At the same time.

All ongoing construction tasks at Changxing Shipyard had completely stopped.

Those that could be halted were directly stopped.

Those that could not be paused had been transferred to other shipyards.

The massive Changxing Shipyard now became empty.

And this movement was also detected by the USA's satellites.

CIIA.

"Director Joseph, through our intelligence satellites, we have observed significant movements at the Dragon Kingdom's Changxing Shipyard!"

A CIIA observer handed a satellite observation map to Director Joseph.

Upon hearing it was news about the Dragon Kingdom, Director Joseph immediately put down the documents in his hand and hurriedly took the data from his subordinate.

The satellite observation map showed.

Within the last half-month.

The dry docks of the Dragon Kingdom's Changxing Shipyard had begun to be cleared one after another.

Even those ships under construction or half-built were cleared out.

The intelligence satellite observation map showed that the dry docks of Changxing Shipyard were already empty.

"Fuck! The Dragon Kingdom's Changxing Shipyard must have a major construction task!"

Director Joseph analyzed, and then he immediately ordered the observer:

"Keep a close eye on Changxing Shipyard, and have the intelligence satellites observe it every day!"

Director Joseph had a fierce expression.

The observation personnel, however, looked troubled.

"I'm sorry, Director Joseph, after we took this image, we were discovered by the Dragon Kingdom's Security Department."

"They have already locked onto our intelligence satellite's transit times and have begun technical concealment and camouflage; we can no longer capture images of Changxing Shipyard."

"Damn it!" Director Joseph clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the table.

His face was distorted, and his eyes were spitting fire.

The last incident had caused him to lose all face, and officials at all levels of The White House had been constantly insulting and mocking him.

This time, having finally discovered major intelligence about the Dragon Kingdom, he could not let it go easily no matter what.

"No, I must request help from The White House!"

"There must be something fishy going on at Changxing Shipyard!!"
