Chapter 6 Picking up leaks
Seeing Ford go out in a daze, Pan Hongsheng couldn't help but be a little funny: It turned out that this guy was really suppressed by his own words!
As an extremely selfish politician, he cherishes his political life more than anything else, and he is right to blackmail the other party's bargaining chips.
It's just that this behavior is really stupid, paying off debts with ore? I have no face and no sincerity. I didn't expect to meet Minister Chen, who knows the goods.
But Minister Chen's face did not change color and his heart did not beat, which surprised him. On the surface, Minister Chen's fierceness is also unambiguous.
"What method did you use to make him submit?" Minister Chen looked at Pan Hongsheng with a smile: "I have dealt with this boy several times, and he is also a master who only likes to take advantage of himself and not suffer losses. I don't know what means you used, but one thing to remember is that he has a big card in his hand. Don't force him to collapse; otherwise, we are not good. It's over!"
Hearing this sentence, Pan Hongsheng couldn't help but be stunned: the bottom card? What's the bottom card?
"Young man, you still don't know some old things. I can only tell you that it is a high secret and a big secret of our country currently held by the U.S. military. Even so, don't be too afraid, because we also have a big handle of the other party!" Minister Chen smiled: "China and the United States are already holding each other in check. The United States does not want us to become stronger than replace him, but the trend is unstoppable, and the historical trend is irreversible! Young people, it's up to you in the future!"
In the afternoon, Pan Hongsheng arrived at the dock on time, and the bald McHale had been waiting there for a long time.
"Meet you again, Mr. Pan!" McHale waved stiffly: "You look good, at least for now."
"Your hairstyle is also good," Pan Hongsheng's face did not change color: "It's very popular."
McHale couldn't take advantage of anything, and immediately looked fierce: "Mr. Pan, I want to remind you: This is a formal handover of state property. Didn't Minister Chen come?"
"Don't worry, I have the right to be a plenipotentiary!" Pan Hongsheng smiled faintly: "It won't bother you, but it's handed over by military personnel on your side. It doesn't seem to be in accordance with the Constitution, right?"
McHale's face is a little unnatural: "Now the government is making up to save money. As you said, we don't bother you."
The words are not speculative, and both of them no longer talk, just waiting for the goods to be opened and accepted.
"Where is your ship?" McHale asked doubtfully, "You know, this is 1,400 tons of ore, which can never be loaded by your ship alone!"
"Well, we naturally have our approach. It's not too late to consider these problems until the acceptance is qualified!" Pan Hongsheng saw that the door of the warehouse had opened, so he took three steps and two steps forward.
A smell of corruption, coming head-on! After Pan Hongsheng looked at the ore, he almost cursed: "This Nima... is also ore!"
I'm afraid that, as Minister Chen said, this ore has been stored for at least several decades. Not only has the epidermis been rusted, but some of the ore has been completely calcified.
"Isn't this fucking a matter!" Pan Hongsheng smashed the ore in his hand fiercely, and the ore fell to the ground and turned into powder!
"Serase your anger, calm down..." McHale smiled at this time: "I can't help it. After all, it's a mineral from decades ago..."
"Fortunately, our ship didn't come!" Pan Hong was a little trembling: "Just this thing, still metal ore? How much is it? I think it's the most inferior mineral deposit! With this thing, do you still feel sorry for that virtue? Poor and crazy, isn't it?
McHale was perfunctory when he suddenly saw the president's special car coming.
Seeing this scene, Ford said with a green face, "Do you want it or not? That's it!" You can watch the rest!" After saying that, he excitedly opened the doors of several other warehouses, and saw that several warehouses were empty or a pile of debris. It was difficult to care about the warehouses of the federal government, but the guards were extremely lax!
Pan Hongsheng looked around in disappointment, and suddenly there was a metallic thing shining.
"Did you see it? As a president, I only have a lot of debt, and there is nothing else!" Ford said in a sincere and powerless tone, "You can find these warehouses as you like!" As long as you can find something that can offset the interest, I will pull it back for you for free!"
Indeed, as the other party said, this huge federal government warehouse is like a waste acquisition station.
It's no wonder that due to the long-standing fiscal deficit, presidents of all over the world have taken out and sold the things that are slightly worth a little money here. The rest of the things are not eaten by dogs, and it is also difficult for this ambitious Ford. This is the only thing to make money.
Ford probably felt a little embarrassed. Seeing that Pan Hongsheng didn't say anything, he said a few words to McHale and left.
Pan Hongsheng just aimed at that thing, but he never said it.
That thing was one of the products of the space program that year. Pan Hongsheng saw the "concept weapon" marked on it.
Apollo's landing on the moon ignited the boundless ambition of the U.S. government.
The whole world has not been made to eliminate the war. They have tried to take a step ahead and occupy space.
But those huge and dreamy plans in those years turned into empty talk because of the depletion of funds.
So Japan took advantage of the war wealth in the Korean War and its economy rose rapidly, and began to replace the United States as the world's largest economic power.
But after all, the Japanese failed to keep the fruits of their victory. Under the threat of American financial policy and military sticks, they had to spit out all the economic achievements. I remember that there was a time when Americans tried their best to attract Japanese to invest in their own countries, but with the decline of the Japanese economy, these space plans were rooted. Ben doesn't have any financial support.
Pan Hongsheng touched this metal armor, which was designed as anti-gravity power armor.
The creativity of many science fiction works in those years came from this. This slightly dusty equipment with a strong atmosphere of the future seems to lament that it is not the right time.
"This thing... looks good." Pan Hongsheng tried his best to pretend to be indifferent: "What is this thing? Scientific research equipment?"
"This..." To be honest, as a military person, McHale doesn't know much about these things. He asked the warehouse manager behind him and raised his voice and shouted, "This is not scientific research equipment! This is combat equipment! According to our Constitution, even if these combat equipment are to be disposed of, they will be turned into scrap steel! I can't give you this!"
"Forget it! That's it? Still combat equipment?" Pan Hongsheng sneered: "You don't even think about what kind of combat equipment will be put here? Do you have anything decent to pay off debts? It's going to spread..."
A cheeky guy like McHale also blushed slightly. He could see that Pan Hongsheng was interested in this thing, but he was not sure what the function and significance of this thing was.
After taking the details of the armor with the administrator, he read it aloud: "Space Warrior Armor, inventor Dr. Minotaur, 1990... 90 years of things, hehe, forget it. If you like it, take it, but..."
He whispered to Pan Hongsheng, "We need to leave 30 tons of ore. Although the color is not good, we can still sell some prices in the market."
