134: Cooperation: The establishment of a multinational company!

January 19th.

After two consecutive days of negotiating cooperation details, Dragon Country and the Shatt Royal Family officially signed a contract.

Secret meeting room at the Yan Capital State Guest House.

The crystal chandelier illuminated the gilded dome brilliantly, and a projection screen behind Prince Khalid of Shat Country displayed a magnificent star map of the BeiDou System covering the Arabian Peninsula.

Every time Prince Khalid, as the Defense Minister of the Shatt Royal Family, personally witnessed this BeiDou star map, his heart swelled with emotion!

As one of the wealthiest countries in the world, the Shatt Royal Family had a large annual fiscal surplus. How could they be content to be automatic teller machines for the world's major powers?

All along, a powerful military, national security, and international discourse power have been the ultimate pursuits of the Shatt Royal Family!

And now, through close military cooperation with Dragon Country, their goals are clearly being achieved step by step!

They are even gradually becoming a regional military power!

"Your Royal Highness, this is the cooperation agreement that both sides have discussed and agreed upon!"

"If there are no issues, this agreement will take effect after you sign it!"

Peng Lin said, pushing a gold-embossed document towards Prince Khalid.

On the title page of this document were the words "Dragon-Saudi BeiDou Strategic Cooperation Agreement."

Prince Khalid was clearly even more eager than Dragon Country to finalize this cooperation.

The moment Peng Lin handed him the document, he immediately and impatiently signed his name.

"Chief Engineer Peng Lin, I very much look forward to Dragon Country completing Beidou-2 as soon as possible, and even the day when the Beidou Satellite Navigation System covers the entire Global!"

"The Shatt Royal Family will definitely have more opportunities for cooperation with Dragon Country!"

Prince Khalid said, shaking hands with Peng Lin after signing the document.

In addition to military cooperation, the negotiating team brought by Prince Khalid also reached a major economic cooperation agreement with Dragon Country.

The Shatt Royal Family highly valued the development prospects of BeiDou. When the Beidou Satellite Navigation System completes Global coverage, the two countries will jointly establish a multinational company named "Energy Guardian" through technology and capital investment.

This company will be invested by the Shatt Royal Family, with Dragon Country providing the technology, to develop a Global shipping positioning system for Global oil tanker transport ships.

This Global shipping positioning system can not only provide electronic charts for the cockpit of oil tanker transport ships, real-time marking of reefs, ocean currents, and Global marine weather conditions.

It can also increase the efficiency of shipping dispatch for oil companies by more than 40%, saving hundreds of millions of dollars in demurrage fees annually.

The Shatt Royal Family hopes to significantly increase its influence in the international oil energy transportation sector through the "Energy Guardian" multinational company!

To enable Shat Country's industries to develop comprehensively in areas such as oil exploration and international transportation!

And Dragon Country also wants to leverage Shat Country's huge influence in the international crude oil sector to get involved in the international marine transportation and energy transportation industries!

This is definitely a "win-win" mutually beneficial cooperation!

... Afternoon of the 19th.

Prince Khalid declined the celebratory dinner carefully prepared by Dragon Country and hurriedly boarded his special plane back home.

Because he also wanted to report this good news to the King of Shato in person as soon as possible and claim credit.

At the same time, when Marshal Xu Yong'an learned from Peng Lin that the Shatt Royal Family had once again signed a multi-billion dollar cooperation order with Dragon Country, he was completely stunned!

Especially the lavish gesture of the other party being willing to prepay 3 billion US dollars in cooperation funds, which left Marshal Xu even more shocked!

Because this meant that the huge research and development funds invested by Dragon Country since the inception of the BeiDou project were not only fully recovered but also achieved large-scale profits!

Due to his extreme excitement, Marshal Xu's wrinkled hands tightly clutched the document Peng Lin handed him.

The winter sun outside the window pinned his shadow to the wall, like a solidified statue.

"Ten billion US dollars, this is almost one-thirtieth of Dragon Country's annual GDP!"

"With the injection of this fund, it would even be enough for our Beidou Satellite Navigation System to complete Global networking ahead of schedule!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an's Adam's apple bobbed as he squeezed out a hoarse voice.

He had never imagined that the BeiDou System, which Peng Lin had strongly advocated for, would have such broad prospects!

"Oh, Chief Designer Peng!"

"During your negotiations with Prince Khalid of the Shatt Royal Family, more than a dozen countries, including Iraq, Pyramid Country, Siam, Libya, Algeria, Syria, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Venezuela, Malaysia, and Indonesia, have sent special representatives and high-level delegations to our Dragon Country to discuss BeiDou cooperation matters!"

"Even Greece, a NATO member country, has come to us for contact due to territorial disputes with Turkey!"

"Currently, the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have organized a total of more than a dozen negotiation teams to discuss cooperation with these countries!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an said to Peng Lin after calming his excited mood.

After the advent of BeiDou, more and more countries around the Global began to show increasing interest in Dragon Country's advanced weapon equipment.

If cooperation agreements could be reached with most of these dozen or so countries, then in early 1980, Dragon Country's total international arms sales might reach 20 billion US dollars, surpassing last year's total!

"The comrades from the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are professionals in negotiations!"

"With their negotiation teams contacting other country delegations, I can rest assured!"

Peng Lin also smiled and said to Marshal Xu Yong'an.

He was only more knowledgeable in technology and the future development of BeiDou; for cooperation negotiations, the relevant personnel from the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were more professional.

Under normal circumstances, only a very small number of cases, like the Shatt Royal Family, which required "special customized" services, would need Peng Lin to personally take charge and provide technical introductions.

Therefore, after a brief break from negotiation matters, Peng Lin once again devoted his energy to the research and development of the J-10 Fighter Jet project.

He opened the system panel and found that when Beidou-1's networking was completed, the system judged that task as completed.

Next, it was a test of funding and construction speed.

To achieve Beidou-2 Asia-Pacific networking and BeiDou-3 Global networking, Dragon Country still needed to launch at least more than twenty satellites.

As for other technical problems in networking, they had all been overcome by Peng Lin long ago.

Subsequently, Peng Lin checked the progress of the J-10 project:

[Research Project Name: J-10 Multi-role Fighter Jet]

[Difficulty Assessment: S]

[Task Progress: 7%]

[Task Reward: 10000 Scientific Research Points]

[Remaining Scientific Research Points: 13567]

The completion of the Beidou Satellite Navigation System, coupled with the rewards Peng Lin received from the completion of various scientific research projects at Changhe Weapon Industry Group, made his scientific research points "rich" again.

And what truly surprised Peng Lin was the technological breakthroughs achieved by other military industrial units such as Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation (XAC), and Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group.

The J-10 Fighter Jet project was not only independently developed by Changhe Weapon Industry Group but also jointly tackled by the entire Dragon Country's aerospace military industrial units!

Currently, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation has made breakthroughs in the aerodynamic design and control law development of the J-10 Fighter Jet's canard layout, Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation (XAC) in the fighter jet's landing gear, and Hongdu Aviation Industry Group in the integrated flight, fire, and thrust technology!

Dragon Country's independently developed new third-generation fighter jet project is rapidly advancing!
