Chapter 69: Opportunities for publicly funded trips are few

After having lunch at Ha Gong Da, Zhang Lao's group finally left; watching the vehicles drive off, President Liu looked at Qin Miao with a complex expression.

San Shui, regarding overseas sales, do you have any plans?

Sure!

Even the president knows this nickname San Shui! Qin Miao felt a bit embarrassed: "Well, I don't have any plans yet; anyway, I'm leaving next week, so I'll use this time to think…"

Good, you must perfect the plan; doing business overseas isn't as simple as you imagine, you must make thorough preparations.

Hmm, I know." Qin Miao nodded: "Then during this time I'll stop my current work and focus on making the strategy."

Strategy?

That is the plan proposal……

Good!

Everyone else looked at Qin Miao with complex expressions.

You little brat, this is clearly just wanting to slack off, isn't it!

However…… selling this truck cannon is indeed a major matter concerning Ha Gong Da's future development; others cannot obstruct it……

In this complex mood, they watched Qin Miao happily…… head back to the faculty dormitory; this guy clearly just wants to go back to sleep.

I haven't taken a nap in ages! Qin Miao woke up, opened his eyes, and outside it was already dark!

Since that's the case, I might as well keep sleeping and get up tomorrow morning……

Wait!

Qin Miao's blurry gaze swept over a person sitting at the desk.

The weather had turned cold; she wore a gray windbreaker all over, looking quite stylish, her hair hanging loose behind her, and because she was reading with her head down, she occasionally needed to tuck her hair behind her ears with her hand.

Under the desk lamp, the girl's earnest look while reading had a special beauty.

From her mouth came a faint sound.

Mar-ha-ban……Ahlanwasahlan……

Having heard clearly what the girl was saying, Qin Miao swoosh…… sat up suddenly.

The girl turned her head and looked at Qin Miao.

You're awake? Have something to eat now; an hour ago I brought back food from the cafeteria…… seeing you still asleep, I didn't wake you……

Miaomiao, you……

My sister's place has a stove; I'll go heat it up for you.

After Qin Miao washed his face and brushed his teeth, waking up, Chu Miaomiao had already brought over the heated food.

A serving of pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and a serving of chicken stewed with mushrooms; both are hearty dishes.

Let's eat together; you made so much I can't finish it……

Since the last time he came back during the National Day holiday, Chu Miaomiao and Qin Miao's relationship has become much closer; she visits him more often, and the two eating together has become quite common.

Hmm.

Do you know Arabic?" Qin Miao asked: "That's a minor language."

For over twenty years, the most common foreign language in the East was Russian, but that doesn't mean there were no other languages; it's said that in the 1970s the Capital offered all six foreign languages! Some schools even offered Arabic as well.

After the country opened up, English's status became important; most high school students take English as their foreign language, of course, in the Northeast Russian remains common.

As for Arabic…… after the resumption of the college entrance exam, English, Japanese, Russian, German, French, Spanish, and Arabic became the foreign language subjects of the exam. However, only a few years later, in 1983, Arabic was abolished.

The reason is simple: basically no one chose it; maybe only a handful per province—how could you set up testing sites?

Hmm.

You wouldn't have taken Arabic in the college entrance exam, would you?

Of course not, I just…… studied it for a while in middle school, learning it with my mother." Chu Miaomiao said: "My mother…… used to work as a diplomat there."

Qin Miao widened his eyes; he only knew Chu Miaomiao's father was a high official, never expecting that her mother was also not an ordinary person.

Chu Miaomiao was in middle school then; the college entrance exam hadn't been restored, domestic affairs were chaotic, schools didn't teach properly, she spent most of her time self-studying at home, and thus learned an extra foreign language with her mother.

Now……

Chu Miaomiao looked at Qin Miao: "Brother San Shui, this time going abroad, I want to go with you……"

Chu Miaomiao had already prepared a bunch of arguments; after all…… this time we're going to a dangerous place!

Qin Miao going abroad was absolutely a secret, but after seeing off the leaders, Zhang Honghong found her sister and told her the whole story about Qin Miao going to a war-torn country to sell arms.

Chu Miaomiao was anxious at the time, but…… after a few minutes she calmed down, realizing she couldn't stop Brother San Shui from going—after all, this is for Ha Gong Da and for the country! So she decided to go with Brother San Shui……

Of course, she's not just a decoration; she speaks fluent Arabic and could serve as Brother San Shui's translator abroad!

Great.

What?

Chu Miaomiao widened her eyes and looked at Qin Miao: "You don't object?"

Why would I object? Going abroad for travel isn't that easy; with this good opportunity, let's go abroad and have a look!

Travel?

Promoting arms sales abroad, yet in Qin Miao's mouth it's called going abroad for travel?

Qin Miao smiled: "I was thinking of taking you on a publicly funded trip; I just lacked an excuse, but since you know Arabic, let's both go out and have fun for a few days!"

Brother San Shui, isn't there fighting over in Yituo? You…… aren't the slightest bit worried?

I never said I was going to Yituo.

Slap!

A piece of meat on Chu Miaomiao's chopsticks fell onto the table.

The Brother San Shui I know isn't like this! Using arms sales as an excuse to go travel? How would you explain it when you come back? How could you face the school leadership, the military leadership, and even Zhang Lao's trust?

"Waste is shameful." Qin Miao grabbed that piece of meat and put it into his mouth; in this era there's no pig feed, pigs raised on grain—this meat is fragrant!

Wait, in Miaomiao's eyes, there's actually... disappointment?

Miaomiao, what's wrong?

San Shui, you really aren't planning to sell the Truck Cannon?

Of course I'll sell it.

How can we sell if we don't go to Yi Tuo?

Let's go to Yue Tuo!

Miaomiao's head is full of questions—what kind of thinking is this?

Qin Miao chuckled; this line of thought is certainly not something an ordinary person could come up with.

In 1981, the Air Force's firmly guaranteed project to replace the J-7 with Marconi equipment was unexpectedly cancelled! This really screwed Chengfei over. Then... Yue Tuo unexpectedly took an interest in it, successfully resolved the 100 million yuan compensation issue, and Chengfei could still make a profit.

As for this batch of J-7s, Yue Tuo had none equipped; once they got them, they directly handed them over to Yi Tuo.

It's only 1980 now, and Yue Tuo still won't come knocking on its own, so we need to be more proactive and go to Yue Tuo to sell.

As for exactly how to sell... Qin Miao already has a complete plan!
