Chapter 380 The Domineering Polar Bear, Eggs from a Chicken!

    In the recent file, both the Tower and Sandaocun proposed a lot of cooperative contents.

    Rather extensively, there were hundreds of items, among which dozens were directly related to him.

    However, there were no polar bears in these files.

    This somewhat puzzled Su Heng.

    Facing Su Heng's question, Qiao Zhenhai did not beat around the bush, directly saying:

    “The polar bears have indeed proposed a cooperation plan. However, unlike the Tower and them, most of the polar bears' cooperation is military cooperation!”

    "Military?" Su Heng raised an eyebrow.

    The doubts in his heart were completely resolved at this moment.

    "Yes, military!" Qiao Zhenhai nodded slightly, then continued: "In fact, the Tower Village and Sandaocun also proposed similar cooperation plans. These have not been decided yet, so we have not yet drafted a cooperation plan...…"

    Su Heng understood, paused for a moment, then spoke slowly, "The demands they are making are quite difficult?"

    "Not exactly difficult, just a bit greedy..." When asked, Qiao Zhenhai shook his head slightly.

    "Greedy?"

    "Yes," Qiao Zhenhai nodded, "They want our powered armor and electromagnetic weapon technology, as well as our stealth fighter jets and the thunder god thunderous drones, and those hypersonic weapon technologies..."

    Upon hearing this, Su Heng couldn't help but curl his lip.

    "Indeed, it's quite greedy."

    "These technologies, any one of them, even the lowest-level Thunder and Thunder God drones, are not something that can be given to people easily."

    The result is that these villages, the Tower Village, wanted drones, and even wanted stealth fighter jets, hypersonic weapons, and even powered armor and electromagnetic technology!

    A toad yawns—such a grand demeanor!

    It's also understandable why Qiao Zhenhai said that the village side hasn't drafted a cooperation plan, with such a ravenous appetite, there's no need to draft a plan.

    If Su Heng had to do it, he would definitely kick the other party out of the door!

    At this moment, Qiao Zhenhai continued:

    "However, it seems that the polar bears have also seen that we haven't traded these ideas, so they are making a second choice now and want to cooperate with us in developing engines and aircraft radars, as well as purchasing the technology of eagle drones and judge drones..."

    "Seeking the upper level will get the middle one?" Su Heng raised an eyebrow.

    "About the same," Qiao Zhenhai nodded, "They deliberately propose a scheme that we can't accept, and then put forward a lower-level scheme to lower our threshold of acceptance. Their method is a bit clumsy, but the nature hasn't changed..."

    "Hehe..." Su Heng shook his head, "So what do you, Qiao Lao, think now? Should we cooperate with them?"

    Qiao Zhenhai looked at Su Heng, directly said: "One of the purposes of my coming this time is also to consult your ideas. Most of these technologies are provided by you, little Su, we think your ideas are very important..."

    Upon hearing this, Su Heng was also lost in thought.

    After a long time, Su Heng raised his head again and looked at Qiao Zhenhai, said:

    "What compensation has the polar bear offered?"

    In response to the question, Qiao Zhenhai immediately said, "Resources! A vast amount of resources!"

    "After our negotiations, the polar bear is willing to offer resources worth 600 billion Dragon currency to exchange for the technology of the Tianshan engine, and 1,380 billion Dragon currency to exchange for the active phased array radar technology of the Tianlong fighter!"

    "As for the eagle drones and judge drones, the price they have offered is resources valued at 150 billion Dragon currency..."

    "These resources include, but are not limited to, mineral resources such as copper and iron, as well as various grain and meat resources..."

    "So many?" After hearing what Qiao Zhenhai said, Su Heng was somewhat surprised.

    Even Su Heng himself had not expected that the polar bear village would be willing to offer such a high price.

    You see, even the Qianlong Camel, when they bought the eagle drone technology back then, only put forward one hundred billion dollars. At that time, based on the exchange rate at that time, one hundred billion dollars was only 70 billion Dragon coins.

    It may sound like a lot, but you should know that the psychological price at which Su Heng sold the eagle drone production line was only 20 billion Dragon coins for a large-scale production line!

    Although those 20 billion were sold for the production line, not the technology.

    But the production line itself includes technology!

    But without Su Heng's permission, the camels could not use his technology to expand the production line.

    And so is the production line for the Judge drones.

    Compared to the Eagle, the Judge is even less technologically advanced, so its selling price is lower!

    Even the rich and generous Sandamun Camel, did not offer too high a price.

    Just a few tens of billions.

    And even if it were just tens of billions, Su Heng had made profits of hundreds of times!

    Of course, selling these things to the rich and generous Sandamun Camel, there was also a factor of good relationship with Sandamun Camel, and Sandamun Camel had purchased a large amount of drone materials.

    But in any case, the technology of low-level drones like the Eagle and the Judge is far from reaching the standard of selling for hundreds or even thousands of billions at once.

    And the Tianshan engine and the Tianlong fighter's active phased array radar.

    These two technologies, although in some sense can be called "priceless treasures", are not exactly "priceless" if it's said hard.

    The polar bear is willing to shell out over a trillion and nearly two trillion Dragon coins at one go. What does that mean?

    It is well known that the polar bear is famously poor!

    Substantial money is spent at one go, which is somewhat surprising.

    "Yes," Qiao Zhenhai nodded in response to Su Heng's surprise, and continued, "This time, they have indeed shown enough sincerity. Although the price for the Tianshan engine is a bit low, only six hundred billion, but for the Tianlong fighter's active phased array radar, they have offered a sufficient amount! One thousand three hundred and eighty billion! To be honest, we old guys are tempted!"

    "If it was a year ago when the Black and White Eagle Greencoin was not depreciated, this one trillion and more would be almost equivalent to two hundred billion dollars. With enough time, the polar bears could have developed this technology themselves..."

    Two hundred billion dollars, sounds like not much.

    But you should know that the total research cost for the Black and White Eagle's Raptor fighter project, from start to finish over thirty years, was only a bit over six hundred billion dollars!

    This cost includes the engine of the plane, stealth materials, design of the plane itself, weapons system, radar and so on!

    The same applies to the polar bear's T50 stealth fighter. From the initiation of the project to now, the total cost has not even reached one hundred billion!

    More than half of that came from the Elephant Village!

    That's right, they exploited the village's credit in order to obtain research funds, and even used trickery to deceive and exploit the village.

    It can be imagined how heavy these two hundred billion dollars are!

    With such a massive sum of money, how could it not be tempting?

    Even if it were not Qiao Zhenhai, if it were one year ago, Su Heng himself would have to be tempted.

    After all, whether it's the Tianshan engine or the Tianlong's active phased array radar, or the Eagle and Judge drones, for Su Heng, as well as for the current Long Village, they are all only second-class or even third-class technologies...

    There's no need to say much about the Tianlong's active phased array radar; it is a product for export. How could such a thing be the most advanced?

    The Tianshan engine, which is mounted on the Jian 20, is an engine improved from the original Tianlong fighter's engine based on the Jian 10 variant fighter engine designed by Su Heng. It is also one of the most advanced engines in the world.

    But in the end, it is still just a product for sale to other countries.

    Although so far, the Jian 20 fighter has only a few buyers, such as Camel.

    But——

    "Why is the price of the Tianshan engine so much lower than that of the active phased array radar?"

    After thinking for a moment, Su Heng opened his mouth again.

    According to what Qiao Zhenhai said just now, the polar bear offered 1380 billion Dragon coins for the Tianlong fighter's active phased array radar, while the Tianshan engine's price was only 600 billion, which is more than a fold!

    Certainly, the radar is important, but is the engine, which is the heart of an aircraft, any less important?

    "The low price is normal. The polar bear's engine technology is not bad either, although it cannot compare to ours, it still belongs to the world's top level. It's just that the lifespan is a bit shorter."

    Facing Su Heng's confusion, Qiao Zhenhai directly said.

    After a pause, Qiao Zhenhai continued, "In fact, this time they are buying our engines not only because they truly want to improve their own engines, but also more importantly to obtain the material technology of our engines. Our Tianshan engine has a lifespan of up to 10,000 hours!"

    "Compared to their own engines, our Tianshan engine is two to three times higher! It is not inferior to the engines of Black and White Eagles, and is even superior to them!"

    "The polar bear has always wanted to improve their engines, but due to the design philosophy constraints in the past, they have not been able to make improvements in the past. And after the old polar bear died, the polar bear didn't have money to improve them either, which made their engines always in an awkward situation."

    "Now that they have the chance, they naturally wouldn't want to miss it..."

    Upon hearing this, Su Heng nodded slightly.

    In that case, it can be understood.

    To put it bluntly, the polar bear's demand for the engine is different from their demand for the radar. The radar is a weakness for the polar bear, and they can't find a substitute. The polar bear has a pressing need for radar. As for the engine, the polar bear already has their own engines that can be used, so there's no urgent need!

    At this moment, Qiao Zhenhai opened his mouth again:

    "However, they are also not without demand when purchasing our radar and drone technologies. They need us to sell them a large number of related industrial products and help them build a qualified semiconductor production system..."

    "??? Su Heng was completely taken aback. "

    Quickly, his eyebrows furrowed: "Help them build a semiconductor system?"

    Exporting industrial products, Su Heng did not see that as a problem.

    Even if the polar bear does not ask for it, they will still have to export it. Why not make money if you can?

    But to build a semiconductor industrial production system is completely digging a hole for oneself!

    Not to mention the issue of whether the products from Long Village will sell well or not after establishing the semiconductor system.

    Ignoring all of that, when can the semiconductor system be completed?

    How much money, manpower and material resources will it take to complete it?

    That's what a trap looks like!

    "They are like this" Qiao Zhenhai nodded slightly, "However, they seem to know that their request is too much, so they have given commitments at the same time, willing to open their port on the western coast of the Pacific Ocean, allowing our goods and commercial activities to pass through their territory directly!"

    "Moreover, they invited us to help them develop the Eastern Great Ice Plains, and allowed us to invest and trade in their large ice plains!"

    Upon hearing this, a look of surprise passed through Su Heng's eyes.

    The two conditions, sounding not so great.

    But it should be noted that in recent years, Long Village has not less than once contacted the polar bear to request them to lift the restrictions on the port in the western Pacific Ocean!

    However, the polar bear side has never responded, and even can be said to have directly refused.

    Once these ports are opened, the economy of several provinces in the north of Long Village will definitely soar!

    It's difficult to recreate an economic zone like the Double Triangle, but creating a secondary economic zone with no difficulty coefficient at all!

    Helping the polar bear develop the Great Ice Plains sounds like it's a loss for Long Village.

    But those who have taken over the development project know that there are a lot of profits in things like this!

    Moreover, the polar bear also allows Long Village to engage in investment and trade in their large ice plains!

    What is this?

    Another form of "opening the market"??

    "Is the polar bear not afraid of inviting wolves into their homes?"

    After pondering for a moment, Su Heng spoke slowly.

    "Invite wolves into their homes?" Hearing this word, Qiao Zhenhai's lips twitched.

    All right, so you want to put it that way?

    There was something he wanted to say, but after thinking carefully, it seems that Su Heng is right.

    In a helpless way, Qiao Zhenhai could only sigh and smile bitterly.

    Shaking his head, Qiao Zhenhai shook off the thoughts in his head and then said meaningfully:

    "There are some things that are a trend, we understand, and the polar bear is not stupid, they also understand!"

    The trend?

    Upon hearing Qiao Zhenhai's enigmatic riddle, Su Heng was first taken aback.

    And he quickly responded as well.

    At this time, Qiao Zhenhai continued, "This time, the polar bear did not come empty-handed. They also brought hundreds of items that were once taken from us in the past. Each item is a treasure worth hundreds of millions of Dragon coins!"

    "……” Su Heng fell silent again.

    Bang!

    At the moment when Su Heng fell silent, Qiao Zhenhai slapped him on the shoulder.

    A soft voice echoed quietly in the office.

    "Little Su, if there is such a day, the names of us old guys will be inscribed on the monument!"

    "And your name, little Su, will also be sung for a thousand years! In the future, as long as Long Village exists, there will certainly be your mark in any textbook of any Dragon Villager!"

    The soft voice caused Su Heng to fall silent once more.

    Countless thoughts kept flashing through his mind, one after another.

    It seemed as if it was a day, or perhaps a century later.

    Finally, Su Heng came back to his senses.

    Afterwards, Su Heng looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Jiao Lao, since they want to cooperate, why don't we make it big?"

    "??" The sudden voice startled Qiao Zhenhai, causing him to freeze.

    Subconsciously, he asked, "What's big?"

    "Hatching Chickens with Eggs!" Su Heng's gaze was intense.

    Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhenhai was stunned again.

    But after only a moment, he came to his senses, and his spirit was immediately revitalized: "South Sky Gate??"

    "Yes! South Sky Gate!"

    Su Heng's eyes sparkled.

    "The South Sky Gate project is extremely costly, and you, Qiao Lao, already know that. Even if we open up new sources of revenue and save on expenditures, and increase the military budget by ten times or even several times, it still wouldn't be enough!"

    "However, if we borrow chickens to lay eggs and use the money and resources of the advanced naval forces in the world's Angles to help us build South Sky Gate, then all of our efforts will be multiplied!"

    "If everything goes smoothly, it will take at least ten years, and at most three to five years, for our first South Sky Gate to be launched into space!"

    "By then, the era belonging to Long Village will come to an end!"
