57: Great opportunity

Xu Ning thought for a moment, then said, "It's really gone, absolutely gone."

"How much did you actually earn from that last batch of anti-aircraft missiles?" the other party pressed.

Xu Ning was silent for a moment, finally replying in a low voice, "Forty billion US dollars..."

Chen Dongchao seemed to suddenly remember something, springing up from the bed, "So that huge sum of foreign exchange with unknown origin was your doing!"

It was no wonder he was so surprised, because the last time the higher-ups discovered a large sum of foreign exchange entering in batches, he was in charge of handling the matter. That money went through multiple accounts, changing hands several times, making the exact amount difficult to determine.

They only knew the amount was massive, so the higher-ups decided to have him conduct a comprehensive review, which resulted in uncovering quite a few spies who had been bribed by foreign powers.

Because of this matter, Chen Dongchao inadvertently offended many people, to the extent that Wang Qiancheng and the other person later found an opportunity to deal with him. At that time, Xu Ning was in Tukhachevsk and was unaware.

"So all of this started because of you!"

Chen Dongchao pressed one hand to his chest, considering whether he needed another fast-acting heart relief pill, "Is there anything else you're hiding from me? You'd better confess everything!"

"And five oil fields..."

Chen Dongchao was so angry he immediately wanted to rush over and let Xu Ning taste the flavor of a whip dipped in chili water.

"Chen Dongchao!"

Just as he was burning with anger, a loud female voice came from Xu Ning's end of the phone, like a clap of thunder.

"You're not sleeping late at night, what are you messing around with over there!"

Subsequently, the other end of the phone fell silent.

"Hello? Uncle Chao?"

Xu Ning called out several times but received no response. Just as he was about to hang up, he finally heard a reply.

"Kid, I know about the channel matter. I'll deal with it immediately. Let's stop here for today."

After speaking, only the busy signal remained on the phone.

Xu Ning held his phone, looking confused, not understanding why Uncle Chao would have such a reaction, "Could it be menopause?"

Since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped dwelling on it and continued flipping through the materials of Shanhai Industry Company in his hand. He had basically finished reading this material and was just waiting for the production line adjustment to be completed, after which he planned to go there with Tang Ziwei and others.

For Xu Ning, who had been fortunate enough to witness the J-20 (Mighty Dragon) stealth fighter jet, all of this held extraordinary significance.

At this moment, Chen Dongchao quietly walked out of the room, put on a jacket, came to the study, and after making a cup of tea, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

The call connected quickly, and a firm voice came from the receiver, "Hello, is something the matter?"

"Xu Lao, the matter is like this..." Chen Dongchao explained.

After listening to his narration, the voice on the other end of the phone slowly said, "Understood..."

"Alright, I understand. I will send someone over again to ensure the safety of that channel."

"The situation over there has indeed been complicated recently. Your reminder is very timely. If the other side were to notice, we would be very passive."

"Then thank you very much, Xu Lao."

"Don't thank me. After so many years, this is the first time you've contacted me at night."

"I guessed the matter wasn't small, but I didn't expect it to be this big."

"So much foreign exchange, even I was startled."

"With such a talent, I'm secretly delighted and can't wait."

"In the future, if he has any problems, he can come directly to me. I will take special care of him."

"Understood, Xu Lao!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dongchao finally let out a sigh of relief.

When he looked up again, his gaze fell upon the chessboard on the table.

What was set up there was the last unfinished game of chess with Xu Ning.

Although he had reneged on that game last time, he had always kept the matter in his heart, so he reset the chessboard.

He wanted to find a way to break the situation so that he could give Xu Ning a surprise next time.

Looking at the chessboard, he suddenly started laughing, shaking his head continuously.

"Haha, this kid..."

One week later.

After the unremitting efforts of Wang Shuo and his team, they successfully upgraded two production lines.

If the management personnel on the other side are unsuitable, they can be directly replaced.

After a two-hour flight, they arrived at their destination.

As they had been notified in advance, when the three arrived, the President of the Aircraft Industry Company, Zhang Jianlong, was already waiting at the entrance.

Wearing black-rimmed glasses and a white shirt, he saw Xu Ning and their car from a distance. Without waiting for the car to stop steadily, he quickly walked forward to greet them and open the car door for them.

After everyone got out of the car, his gaze swept over each person, finally settling on Tang Ziwei.

Seemingly confirming something, he immediately stepped forward and grasped Tang Ziwei's hand, his face full of excitement.

"You must be the head of Shanhai Industry, right? I have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time."

"Now that we are merged into your company, we hope to receive your support in the future."

This action stunned everyone present.

It was Tang Ziwei who recovered first. She quickly withdrew her hand and pointed to Xu Ning beside her, saying.

"You've made a mistake. He is our Chairman Xu Ning."

"Nice to meet you. Please give us your guidance."

To ease the awkwardness, Xu Ning quickly stepped forward to shake hands.

Zhang Jianlong's face immediately turned red. He never expected that the Chairman of Shanhai Industry, who could make the company independent from the aviation industry, would be so young.

He quickly grasped Xu Ning's hand, using laughter to cover up the recent awkwardness.

"Let's not stand at the entrance anymore, please come in quickly."

"To welcome you, we have specifically arranged the test flight of the new fighter jet for today."

"Oh? A new fighter jet?"

Xu Ning's interest was immediately piqued. He quickened his pace and followed Zhang Jianlong inside, with the others following closely behind.

"That's right, we call it J-7E!"

Upon mentioning this, Zhang Jianlong's eyes instantly lit up.

"In 1964, our J-5 trainer successfully made its maiden flight."

"At the end of 1981, the J-7A became our first export model."

He gave Xu Ning a thumbs-up.

"After nine years of effort, under the unremitting struggle of several Engineers, we developed the J-7E based on the J-7A!"

Xu Ning thought to himself: J-5, J-7, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group... It is indeed here. He had a premonition when he saw the company address, and now he was even more certain.

This time was truly fortunate, Uncle Chao introduced a great opportunity!

Thinking of the future J-20, Xu Ning's face showed an excited expression.

Soon, the group arrived at the test flight observation point.

It was so simple here that there were only a few wooden tables by the runway, not even a rain shelter.

Xu Ning had checked the information and knew that the company currently only undertook the production task of nose cones for a foreign company, and the remuneration was extremely low, almost like working desperately for money.

Therefore, he was already mentally prepared for the company's difficult situation.

Seeing that everyone was in place, pilot Wang Zhendong started the J-7E.

"Boom!"

Amidst the roar of the engine, the J-7E accelerated and sped forward, like a long rainbow rushing towards the blue sky.

Everyone's eyes followed closely.

The J-7E in the high altitude was agile and free, soaring like a swimming dragon.

"Clap clap clap..."
