Early the next morning, Cao Zhiqiang made a long-distance call to Masashi Sada in Tokyo and informed him of the flight number and pick-up time to Japan. Then the group took a hotel taxi and went straight to the Capital Airport.
Since we are going abroad this time, we have to go to the customs to go through the formalities first. After completing the formalities, we can go into the waiting room and wait for the plane.
In the waiting room, I saw many men, women and children in suits and ties, all flying to Japan. It seems that there are many people traveling to Japan these days.
Among them, there was an old couple next to them who were very chatty and took the initiative to chat with Cao Zhiqiang.
After chatting, I found out that the old couple were going back to visit relatives. The old lady was from Japan and the grandfather was from China.
Due to various reasons, the old lady stayed in China and married the old grandfather.
Later, after China and Japan reestablished diplomatic relations and allowed individuals to travel overseas to visit relatives, the old lady resumed contact with her natal family in Japan.
The somewhat restrained young couple next to them are the children of the two old people. This is their first trip to Japan, mainly to visit their grandparents in Japan.
To put it simply, those who could go to Japan during this period, apart from government officials, were mostly foreigners, or those who had relatives in Japan.
Generally speaking, those who are sent abroad by government are mostly middle-aged and elderly people in their forties or fifties, so young people like Cao Zhiqiang are mostly overseas Chinese, or like the old couple, have relatives in Japan, so they come over to chat actively. .
When I heard that Cao Zhiqiang was sent abroad on official business, I was amazed again and again.
After all, it is rare these days that someone can be sent abroad at such a young age.
However, I don’t know if it was Cao Zhiqiang’s illusion.
After hearing that Cao Zhiqiang did not have relatives in Japan, the old couple was okay, but the expressions of the children of the old couple were obviously not so warm, and they even felt a bit contemptuous.
Cao Zhiqiang estimated that the young couple felt that Cao Zhiqiang had no foreign relatives and was not worthy of their status.
Also, if you have an overseas relative during this period, especially if you have a relative in a developed country like Japan, it will definitely be a sign of honoring your ancestors, so it is completely normal for the young couple to have such thoughts.
No matter what, since his children are no longer very enthusiastic, there is no need for Cao Zhiqiang to be hot-faced and cold-blooded.
Furthermore, this time I went to Japan, the situation itself was more complicated, so there was no need to have more contact with these ordinary people.
Didn't you look at Anping and Xu Chun, and kept looking back and forth at the old couple and their children who took the initiative to talk?
It is estimated that these two people have begun to doubt the old couple and the young couple, and feel that those people are deliberately approaching Cao Zhiqiang.
Not only that, Cao Zhiqiang also felt that some service staff in the waiting room seemed to look here from time to time.
If it wasn't an illusion, then those service staff who kept looking this way just now were most likely disguised as domestic investigators.
Cao Zhiqiang estimated that if these people continued to chat with him, someone would go back and investigate the old couple's details.
Of course, it may be that I am overthinking and being suspicious. Maybe those service staff are really service staff. It is just because I am so handsome and elegant that I might look at myself more.
Forget it, no matter what, there is no need to make things difficult for others.
Regardless of whether those service personnel are special personnel pretending to be special personnel, just assume they are.
In this case, let's not continue chatting with those two uncles and aunties, otherwise they will be suspected of being suspicious persons.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang deliberately yawned, then closed his eyes and lowered his head to fall asleep, and stopped chatting with the old couple.
Sure enough, after seeing Cao Zhiqiang bowing his head and taking a nap, the talkative old couple, or more specifically the old man, stopped chatting with Cao Zhiqiang and continued chatting with Cao Zhiqiang's secretaries, Anping and Xu Chun.
Cao Zhiqiang, who had closed his eyes and fell asleep, thought that Anping and Xu Chun would refuse to chat very coldly.
But they never expected that Anping and Xu Chun would turn into enthusiastic chatters and start chatting back and forth with the old couple, and even took the initiative to chat with the old couple's children.
Seeing how enthusiastic they were chatting, Cao Zhiqiang, who was still sleeping with his head down, secretly lamented.
It's over, this old couple is a family member, and they will definitely be investigated.
But this is what you came to chat with yourself, and it’s none of my business.
Also, the information I provided before is so valuable, and the fabricated "mysterious organization" is also very mysterious. One of the excuses for going to Japan this time is to contact this "mysterious organization".
Such a precious channel must be given special attention by the superiors.
You know, in the early 1980s, there was too little foreign exchange in the country. Even if other people's good things were opened for sale, most of them couldn't afford them.
In addition, open sales in the Western world mainly sell finished products, but related technical data are not included and are not provided by open stores.
For example, when the Black Hawk helicopter was later introduced in China, in addition to the finished product, what they wanted most was the technical data of the Black Hawk helicopter. Unfortunately, they would not provide it. They would only provide the finished aircraft, but not the technology, especially the helicopter's flight control technology and engine. technology.
You know, for helicopters, the most important technologies are flight control technology and engine technology. Without these two technologies, it is actually very difficult to reverse engineer just by relying on a few physical helicopters.
Many laymen at home and abroad like to say that China likes to copy technology and reverse engineering, which is actually true.
But what many people don’t know is that reverse engineering itself shows strength, and not any country can do reverse engineering.
To put it bluntly, reverse engineering can only give you a reference and avoid some detours, but the most important thing is to look at your basic scientific research capabilities and basic industrial capabilities.
In other words, if you are not good at it, even if something is given to you, you will not be able to reverse it.
From this we can see the complexity and difficulty of reverse engineering.
Just like now, if you give a domestic PW4000 engine produced by Pratt & Whitney Company, which is the engine commonly used on the Boeing 747, and you try to reverse it in China, there is a high probability that you can only copy the cat and try to reverse it. Loneliness, and then treat it as technical accumulation.
If nothing else, let’s just mention the single-crystal material used in this engine. It cannot be made in China right now, let alone how to make it.
In addition, why this engine is designed like this, what are the specific aerodynamic principles, what are the manufacturing processes required, metal fatigue, and actual operating parameters and other indicators, it is difficult to deduce through reverse engineering.
However, it would be different if Whitney Company, while providing the engine, was also willing to provide a full set of information, including design and production information, material and process information, etc.
The current domestic industrial foundation is weak, but it is not that weak.
Not to mention anything else, at least the country had received comprehensive assistance from the Soviet Union before, and it was assistance in all categories, which was equivalent to laying a solid industrial foundation for the country.
In addition, there is no shortage of high-tech talents in China, and the number of outstanding senior technicians is also very large. Therefore, once Western high-tech technology is available, it will definitely be more attractive than the real thing.
However, it is difficult for Western society to easily provide technical information, especially top-notch technical information, to China. You can't buy it even if you have money, let alone no money.
Therefore, the "secret organization" provided by Cao Zhiqiang, which can obtain high-precision technical information and physical objects, is very impressive to the relevant personnel.
More importantly, the price charged by this secret organization is very conscientious.
For 35 million US dollars, you can buy a complete set of technical information and four sets of physical objects of the "Firepower Discoverer", which you can't find even with a lantern.
Let's not talk about the value of technical data, let's talk about the cost of four sets of "Firepower Discoverers". The purchase price of the Mi Army itself is more than 30 million.
In fact, the current purchase price of the Mi Army is almost 20 million US dollars for a set of "Firefinder" radars, and four sets are 80 million US dollars!
As for the so-called mysterious organization, the price sold to China was only 30 million for four sets of physical objects. This was simply making a profit at a loss, not to mention that they still provided the goods first and paid later!
I went out to inquire about it and found out that those who trade military equipment internationally, no matter whether it is overt or covert, do not give the goods first and then the money.
The money is given first, and the goods are given later, and the goods are not necessarily given when. Maybe the relationship is bad and the contract can be broken at any time.
Deliver the goods first, pay later, the materials are real and cheap, and there are no additional requirements. Who wouldn’t love such a conscientious secret businessman?
In other words, there is no risk in this transaction at all in China. If you don't want such a good thing, you are really mentally ill.
Precisely because this thing is so good, the superiors actually attach great importance to Cao Zhiqiang, otherwise the white-haired old man who calls himself Uncle Lin would not be allowed to come forward in person to see Cao Zhiqiang.
That Uncle Lin was willing to take action in person was actually more to give Cao Zhiqiang a platform, or to give Cao Zhiqiang a little confidence, and to encourage him by the way, telling Cao Zhiqiang to be bold and confident.
Originally, Uncle Lin had a lot to say, but he didn't expect Cao Zhiqiang to be so enlightened, so he didn't need to say more.
In other words, as long as Cao Zhiqiang can continue to connect with that "mysterious organization" and continue to provide some technologies and physical objects that cannot be obtained through normal channels, then the power that Uncle Lin represents will be Cao Zhiqiang's backstage and thigh.
With Uncle Lin's thigh, it is completely different from Uncle Xu, and the gold content is different.
After all, Uncle Xu has been relegated to the second line, and Uncle Lin is not only a higher level, but also still in his position.
It can be said that with Uncle Lin as his backbone, as long as Cao Zhiqiang doesn't go too far, ordinary minor problems can be solved for him.
Of course Cao Zhiqiang understood the meaning and the weight, but he didn't think there was a problem.
Anyway, the technical information and military equipment signed into the system cannot be used by an ordinary person, so it is better to sell them to the country in exchange for favors.
It's just that the way Cao Zhiqiang obtained it was too incredible, and it would definitely not be possible to say it clearly. In that case, even if he was not sliced and studied, he would still have to be protected, or put under house arrest in disguise.
But using this non-existent "mysterious organization" as an excuse is no problem.
In fact, there are many such "secret businessmen" in the world these days. It is not that we have never come into contact with such people in China, and our relationship with such people is not bad.
Cao Zhiqiang is lucky enough to be such a middleman backed by the state. If he wants to rise in the future, won't it be easy?
Of course, this kind of thing must be kept secret, and the relevant departments will definitely focus on protecting Cao Zhiqiang.
Therefore, when I go to Japan this time, at least in China, it is absolutely impossible for the relevant departments to just send two people to follow him and call it a day. There is a high probability that more people will be sent to focus on it.
It seems that there must be many secret agents in this capital airport, pretending to be service personnel to protect this place.
So these two couples came over to chat, which was clearly causing trouble for themselves.
Oops, wait, if that's the case, doesn't that mean that his past information and current connections have been thoroughly investigated?
The rest doesn't matter, the key is that he has had ambiguous relationships with several women, will this also be found out?
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang subconsciously opened his eyes, and his expression became uncertain.
But after thinking about it again, Cao Zhiqiang sighed, closed his eyes again and continued to fall asleep.
Forget it, what's the use of worrying about this now?
It's already like this. If people really want to investigate, I can't stop it.
If you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter. It's just a relationship between a man and a woman. It's not a big deal to those big shots. What's more, I'm not married yet, and I'm not messing around on the surface. I just have a closer relationship with a few outstanding women.
Most of the women Cao Zhiqiang has been in contact with so far have no problems. The only troublesome one is Hao Shuwen.
After all, her background is different and she is a true second generation.
But the relationship between Hao Shuwen and him was clearly that of brother and sister. No one could prove that he had an improper relationship with Hao Shuwen.
Even if we have fooled around in the room together many times, who says that having a man and a woman in the room is not serious?
In what age did a man and a woman alone in the same room do nothing but do bad things?
Can't we just play cards behind closed doors or talk about art?
Anyway, as long as you don't get caught doing it, it'll be fine.
If someone really asked him why he was so good to Hao Shuwen, he could say that he liked the relationship behind Hao Shuwen, so he got close to recognizing his god sister, which makes sense.
By the way, there is also the matter of Wei Dajun. Will this matter also be found out?
Probably not. After all, Cao Zhiqiang used too much force in this matter. Strictly speaking, it was not an unjust, false or wrongful conviction.
After all, Wei Dajun and his group were indeed criminals. When the police arrested them, they not only found the 10,000 yuan given by Cao Zhiqiang, but also the firearms, which was irrefutable evidence.
Moreover, when the special department investigates, it is impossible to investigate blatantly. It can only investigate secretly, which has limitations.
Anyway, Dr. Wu and Officer Zhou, who helped initially, are unlikely to tell the truth.
Therefore, there is a high probability that this matter will pass the test. Even if a problem is indeed found, the higher-ups will probably turn a blind eye to the minor issue of falsely accusing people.
In this way, Cao Zhiqiang took a nap while reviewing his previous actions, and then carefully checked whether his previous actions would be discovered by relevant departments and whether they would become a big problem for him.
The final conclusion is that there are problems, but they are minor problems. Even if they are detected, they are not big problems.
Anyway, as long as I behave myself in the future, I can usually pass smoothly.
In any case, I am the "middleman" who comes into contact with that secret front!
Cao Zhiqiang kept thinking and thinking with his eyes closed, and finally fell asleep after thinking about it three times.
At some point, Cao Zhiqiang was shaken.
"President Cao, wake up, wake up quickly, the plane is coming!"
Cao Zhiqiang blinked and looked at Anping, who kept shaking his arms and reminding himself, and then realized that he was waiting for a plane at the airport.
After blinking and waking up completely, Cao Zhiqiang yawned and stretched. Then he stood up suddenly, twisted his neck, laughed, and waved his big hand: "Let's open the way to Tokyo and do big business." !”
