After hanging up the phone and thinking about it in the room until the afternoon, Yang Dongxu could only sigh and give up this opportunity.
He is not a big capitalist, and his circle of connections is limited to Yanjing and not even domestic, so it is not easy to organize a huge transnational fire-fighting team.
Secondly, extinguishing the fire and exchanging the oil field is just an opportunity to purchase the oil field. It does not mean that the oil field is yours if you put out the fire. Kuwait is very rich in oil resources, so the oil reserves under each of its oil wells are also very rich. An oil well can easily cost billions, or even tens of billions.
Although Yang Dongxu now has money in his hands, if he tightens his belt, he can only win an oil field that is rated as average and inferior. Although winning the oil field is equivalent to holding a hen that can lay golden eggs. But putting Baodu on the oil fields was too risky, and the occupation of such a huge amount of money also made it impossible for him to implement other plans, so he had to give up after careful consideration.
"I'm short of money, I'm still short of money." Yang Dongxu shook his head and walked out of the study with a regretful look on his face. The opportunity was a good one, but it was a pity that he missed it.
...
...
Unknowingly, the time came to the end of April, and Yang Dongxu, who had been keeping an eye on the big talent pool in the north, finally got something. A computer hardware research and development team finally left the Soviet Union three days ago after Wu Aibing sent people to continue public relations.
Although Yang Dongxu, who did not enter the country but took a boat directly to Hong Kong, has not yet seen him, the news made him overjoyed. Because in addition to the more than ten people in the R&D team who he desperately wanted, the 'poaching' this time was very thorough. Not only the people in the laboratory were evacuated, but also various equipment and materials in the laboratory.
Of course, because of these people and equipment, Yang Dongxu also paid an "intermediary fee" of 150 million US dollars. Although such a high intermediary fee made him feel sad, when the professionals Zhou Ya found, they were very concerned about various aspects of the R&D team. When the results and the evaluation results materials of Dongxu being developed were delivered to Yang Dongxu, he felt that the agency fee was absolutely worth it.
Yang Dongxu didn't know much about technology, but after comparing the various achievements of this R&D team with those in the United States in the evaluation materials, he could clearly see whether they were good or bad. However, there was one thing that made him a little disappointed, and that was this R&D The team focuses on computer hardware, not both software and hardware.
"If you can't play with concepts, let's play with entities first." Putting the evaluation materials in his hand on the desk, Yang Dongxu rubbed his forehead.
Both software and hardware are huge markets worth hundreds of billions of dollars, so although hardware production may sound less impressive than software development, the two are actually complementary to each other.
And focusing on hardware is actually more in line with the current domestic market. After all, although the software market is great, it is currently unable to open the market in China because the installed capacity in the country is pitiful and there are no computers. How can you make software popular?
So if we focus on hardware, we should focus on hardware. Selling computers in China is also a high-end industry now. If we can break the industry barriers and bring down the price of computers that often cost tens of thousands of yuan each, we can make computers more popular. It is also equivalent to cultivating a market for software development.
The people in the laboratory went to Hong Kong, but the equipment went directly to Shenzhen through certain channels. The construction of the laboratory had been quietly completed by Hurricane Construction more than a year ago, and it has been waiting for its 'owner' to arrive and use it.
When the people in the laboratory worked through some connections in Hong Kong and entered the country with legal status, Yang Dongxu arrived in Shenzhen a day earlier.
Compared with the Shenzhen in his memory, Yang Dongxu still feels that the current Shenzhen is very backward, but he now has the foundation to take off.
It is different from other places where I have been paying attention to the above 'sound' and basically waiting. As China's rising pearl, Shenzhen has a relatively freer business climate.
Although the officials in Shenzhen are also paying attention to the voices above, compared with doing nothing in other places, they only listen but do not speak, do not participate, do not wait for the results, and just immerse themselves in doing their own things.
Therefore, even though the voices above have been arguing endlessly in the past few years, Shenzhen's development has not slackened at all. Instead, it has made great progress and has become the main force driving domestic economic development.
"How did you make yourself so dark?" Yang Dongxu just got off the plane and saw Wu Aibing who came to pick him up. Compared with the Wu Aibing whom he met a few years ago, the current Wu Aibing is much thinner and darker. It was like a pampered young man who was thrown into a black coal mine to dig coal for several months.
"Is this what happened after you spent more time exercising in your free time?" Wu Aibing smiled, showing his teeth that looked whiter than before.
"Is it chaotic in the north?" Yang Dongxu asked.
Although he knew for sure that Big Brother in the north was experiencing domestic turmoil, after all, he had not been to the Soviet Union during this period. He had only heard about the specific situation but had not personally experienced it. But now seeing that Wu Aibing had trained himself like this for several months, it was obvious that things in the north were much more chaotic than he had imagined.
"In Toy's words, the tigers have disappeared, and all the wild wolves and wild dogs have come out to show off. Many factories over there have stopped working, and even schools have suspended classes. Even half of the civil servants are on vacation. Social unrest and the government have Failure to do anything naturally led many people to take desperate risks. When I was in Moscow with my bodyguards, I encountered roadblocks and robberies in broad daylight. You can imagine how chaotic other places are."
You can't appreciate the value of peace if you haven't experienced turmoil. When he was in China, Wu Aibing didn't feel that there was anything good about the country. He even occasionally scolded officials who were pigs for not doing what they did.
But what he had experienced in the Soviet Union in the past few months made him fully understand that the country may not be rich, it may not be developed, and it may be considered a slum by foreigners. But compared to now, where he looks confused and scared all day long and doesn't know what tomorrow will bring, he The Soviets should do something. People in China live very energetically.
"If it's too dangerous over there, just pull all the people back. We've already made a lot of money by poaching the people from this experimental group and bringing back so much top-notch equipment."
"It's still manageable. After I came back, Jie Chengwu didn't go to the Middle East, but stayed in the Soviet Union. There were less than ten people there, and most of the time we were looking for brokers to spend money on things. So it’s not dangerous. And the escape route has already been arranged. If anything happens, you can retreat at any time.”
"You have to take control of yourself. If you really encounter any danger. Don't think about saving money, and don't think about poaching people. Save yourself first and then withdraw. If the money is gone, we will make money. If the talent is gone, we will find it. , but you only have one life." Yang Dongxu got in the car and patted Wu Aibing on the shoulder.
"I will know how to measure this." Wu Aibing nodded, then glanced at Du Fei who was driving in front and said: "I was not prepared to come back after arranging the people and equipment on the boat this time, but Ivan dragged me One thing I told you was that it was inconvenient to call or write to you, so I had no choice but to come back and dictate."
"What's going on?" Yang Dongxu sat up straight, and Du Fei looked around the car through the rearview mirror, carefully checking whether any suspicious vehicles were approaching.
"He has some equipment sealed in the warehouse and asked you if you want it. There are also some technicians with sensitive technologies asking you if you want to take it over." Wu Aibing subconsciously looked around, and then whispered.
"Why does he want these things from me?" Yang Dongxu frowned.
Needless to say, the so-called sealed equipment must be arms. In recent years, it is no secret that many Soviet war equipment depots have been pulled out and sold on a large scale. Although even the most advanced fighter jets cannot be obtained in their entirety, disassembled engines and other As long as you are willing to spend money, you can definitely buy the core components.
Yang Dongxu has shown his disinterest in these sensitive things from the beginning, and Ivan also knows this. So it was strange that he suddenly asked Wu Aibing to bring Yang Dongxu such words to him.
"He has almost sold the things that should be sold, so I want to clean up the stock." Wu Aibing smiled meaningfully.
Seeing Wu Aibing's smile, Yang Dongxu seemed to figure out something: "Do you want those things?"
"It's not that I want it, it's that Du Suo needs it. Bringing these things back to China is definitely a way to die, but they are of great use in the Middle East." Wu Aibing said.
Yang Dongxu frowned and fell into thought. The so-called 'goods foundation' obviously means things that the higher-ups despise and don't want, and it would be a pity to lose Ivan. However, these things are despised by the country, but they are all good things for Du Suo and others.
So Ivan asked Yang Dongxu to clean up the goods. In fact, it was because of Du Suo's hint that Wu Aibing took the lead. However, although there is a tacit understanding between the two parties in terms of 'goods foundation', it was Ivan who took the initiative to bring up the sensitive technical talents.
"If Du Suo needs those things, just get them to the Middle East. As for talents...does he have any convenient talents?" Yang Dongxu asked after a while.
"Those flying in the sky, and those flying higher." Wu Aibing pointed upward.
The ones flying in the sky are airplanes, and the ones flying higher are probably either rockets or satellites, but Yang Dongxu cannot touch any of these three things, at least if he wants to stay in the country, he cannot touch these things, because As long as it doesn't begin with the Chinese character "国", it's a crime to ask about it, let alone do it yourself.
"If he's fine, why would he come to me with something like this?" Yang Dongxu asked with a frown.
"Ivan said that he is optimistic about the future development of aviation and satellites, so he said that if you are willing to take over these people and equipment, he will not pay a penny and is prepared to invest in these people and equipment."
"Old fox." Yang Dongxu cursed secretly, and instantly understood why Ivan was looking for him instead of the country.
Obviously Ivan is looking for a basket to share the eggs, and if these eggs that he is more optimistic about are placed in the hands of the country, he will definitely not have to think about taking them back in the future, but if they are placed in Yang Dongxu's technology, the two of them can invest in a company. If it succeeds, he will make a lot of money.
