55: New press conference

“It should be me chasing after them…”

His words made Chen Chao smile slightly, “Don’t pretend to be poor, I haven’t finished talking about the benefits yet.”

“The land around your factory has been approved and will belong to Shanhai Industry from now on.”

“No matter how large-scale expansion you need, there will be special support, a treatment unprecedented.”

“Also, regarding your helicopter project, a subsidiary of AVIC also has experience in manufacturing aircraft. This company will also be merged into yours in the future.”

Saying that, he placed a chess piece on the board, threatening Xu Ning’s position.

“Are you satisfied now?”

Hearing this, Xu Ning showed a satisfied smile, ignored the opponent’s offensive, moved his own chess piece, and aimed at Chen Chao’s general.

“Double cannons firing, checkmate!”

“I also want two electronics factories…”

“You guy…”

…

In the next few games, Chen Chao became more and more surprised, because Xu Ning’s chess style had completely changed.

He adopted an offensive-oriented strategy, which caught Chen Chao somewhat off guard.

After losing two games in a row, Chen Chao simply overturned the board, “I’m not playing anymore, when did this kid’s chess skills improve so much.”

Suddenly, he remembered something and asked Xu Ning, “Little Xu, I remember you displayed an air defense missile system at the exhibition. Were those scattered parts sent to Tuhachi before not it…”

Xu Ning scratched his head and replied with a smile.

“You still found out…”

Chen Chao’s face instantly froze.

“The rumored incident of Eagle Country’s stealth fighter being shot down…”

Xu Ning scratched his head and said with a smile, “That’s right, I did that. Considering how difficult it is to shoot down such a plane, I didn’t modify the weapon’s performance much…”

“Seeing that you didn’t ask, I didn’t mention it either…”

“However, Uncle Chao, please rest assured, I have tampered with the exported air defense missile systems. When our fighter jets fly over in the future, they will never react at all.”

Xu Ning patted his chest and gave a guarantee.

Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and examined Xu Ning.

“Good boy! You kept such a big matter from me!”

Facing Chen Chao’s scrutinizing gaze, Xu Ning couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“Uncle Chao, I didn’t do it on purpose, mainly to avoid attracting the attention of Eagle Country.”

“Hmph! In any case, you have to equip our military region with five hundred sets when you get back, and you must give me a discount!”

“Okay, okay…”

…

When Xu Ning returned to Longhai Shipyard, it was already late at night, however, everyone was waiting for his return, which made him feel warm inside.

Tang Ziwei told him that the reporters who had been staying at the hotel before had all been taken away, and she heard that they had attended a new press conference.

Xu Ning guessed that this might be Chen Chao’s doing. The news of the exhibition seemed to have been suppressed. Foreign countries hardly mentioned it anymore, which made Xu Ning breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon after, the news of the merger of the four major military industrial enterprises into Northern Industries came. On that day, Xu Ning hung up a new sign in front of the gate of Longhai Shipyard, “Shanhai Industry”.

Chen Chao fulfilled his promise. Now, Xu Ning not only owned Shanhai Steel Plant, but also Shanhai Aircraft Industry Company and Shanhai Electronics Factory. The number of employees of Shanhai Industry exceeded 10,000. Excluding fixed assets, the working capital reached over 40 billion.

With the expansion of the factory area and the increase in the number of workers, Xiao Jianhao’s position was also promoted from Battalion Commander to Regimental Commander, and security work was further strengthened.

…

In the Factory Director’s office, Xu Ning was reviewing relevant documents of Shanhai Aircraft Industry. As the knock on the door sounded, Tang Ziwei walked in with a foreign guest.

“What’s wrong, Factory Director Tang?” Xu Ning looked up and was stunned.

“Master Hassan Sagide?”

Following behind Tang Ziwei was the Master Hassan whom he often contacted. When Hassan saw Xu Ning, tears welled up in his eyes, and he stepped forward excitedly to shake hands.

“I finally saw you! When I heard that Longhai Factory was closed, I couldn’t describe how sad I was.”

Master Hassan felt that his efforts had finally paid off. He had gone to great lengths to find Xu Ning, and the situation in his country was getting more severe by the day. If he couldn’t find Xu Ning this time, he really didn’t know how to face his country.

Seeing this, Tang Ziwei said with a slight embarrassment, “Little Xu, then I’ll go out first.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

Tang Ziwei closed the door gently after leaving, leaving only Xu Ning and Master Hassan in the room.

Xu Ning invited Hassan to sit on the sofa and asked, “Master, why didn’t you just call me directly?”

Hassan’s face became a little bitter, “I wanted to, but while I was back in the country, someone broke into my office and stole many documents, including your contact information.”

“That scoundrel spy seems to be tracking the source of our new weapons. I heard that other embassies were also attacked.”

“They not only took the documents, but also cleared my call records!”

Hassan’s hands trembled with anger, “If I catch him, I will make sure he pays for it!”

“I found this place based on the clues in my memory, but I found that Longhai Factory had already closed down.”

Mentioning this experience, a tear flashed in Hassan’s eyes. After hearing this, Xu Ning couldn’t help but sigh.

“Then is there anything you need from me this time?”

Hassan immediately stood up and asked seriously, “Do you still remember our agreement? We hope to use that priority right to order the batch of tanks you once gave us, a total of 500!”

Xu Ning showed a look of realization. He had been busy with domestic affairs recently and almost forgot about the situation abroad.

“I’m sorry, the cooperation at that time was a matter of Longhai Factory. Now we are Shanhai Industry, and those tanks are no longer in production.”

“What?” Hassan exclaimed, almost unable to believe his ears.

Xu Ning continued, “However… we have a new model of tank, I wonder if you are interested in learning about it?”

“What is its name?”

“Its name is ‘Qiongqi’.”

“Qiongqi?” Hassan repeated, with a look of confusion on his face. Although he had lived in China for many years, he was still unfamiliar with this name. However, this was not the key now. What he was more concerned about was the performance of this new tank.

“Mr. Xu, may I ask which is stronger, this new equipment or the tanks you gave us before?”

Xu Ning replied with a smile, “To be precise, this new equipment is called [Qiongqi · I].”

“We plan to continue to improve it in the future. Speaking of the comparison between it and the BH90 Tank…”

He thought for a moment, then said firmly,

“[Qiongqi · I] has significant improvements in power and firepower.”

“Oh?”

Master Hassan’s eyes lit up, obviously interested in Xu Ning’s words.

But before he could speak, Xu Ning added,

“However…”
