Chapter 650 Fully Open
Qin Hao chuckled, "Did you drink vinegar today?"
Xu Siyao hummed and pouted, looking at him she asked, "Did Ruobing move into your villa?"
Qin Hao nodded, "She had some trouble, and then she moved in."
Xu Siyao said, "I want to go too, my dad agreed, and I'll move over after Ms. Yang has her baby."
Qin Hao nodded awkwardly, "Okay, okay, let's go eat."
After they went downstairs, the nanny had already prepared lunch, and the whole family sat together harmoniously and enjoyed the meal.
A little after three, Qin Hao left Xu Siyao's house and sat in his car looking at the military uniform beside him, a smile on his face.
"Where to, Mr. Qin?" Leng Xuan asked.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Hao said, "Let's go to Jianghai University. I'll go see Xia Qing, and the rest of you can go back. You alone will be enough."
Leng Xuan nodded, now understanding Qin Hao's strength, realizing that having those people with him or not didn't really make a difference.
Arriving at the university's gate, Qin Hao was about to call Xia Qing when he suddenly saw a car driving out from inside. It was He Qizhi's car, and sitting in the passenger seat was none other than Ye Xiaolu.
Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, then put away his phone and said, "Follow them."
Leng Xuan quickly followed suit. He Qizhi went to the far-off Xushan District from Jianghai University. They stopped at a hospital in Xushan District, and Qin Hao was perplexed when he saw the hospital—they should be going to a hotel, right?
Could it be that Ye Xiaolu was pregnant?
Qin Hao said, "Leng Xuan, follow them and see what's going on."
Leng Xuan got out of the car and followed them. About twenty minutes later, Leng Xuan returned and said, "The two of them got a full-body check-up and nothing else."
Qin Hao said, "Let's go, let's go home."
This matter made him feel somewhat uneasy, as he didn't know whether he should tell He Tingting or not. Telling her would seem like he was meddling too much and potentially destroying someone's family.
Back home, Qin Hao sat on the couch, idly watching the TV news program:
The delegations from West Basistan, East Chao Country, and Yinna Country arrived in Xuan Country this afternoon to discuss the purchase of the Warhawk Intelligent Unmanned Fighter.
West Basistan and East Chao Country could be considered as Xuan Country's little brothers, especially West Basistan, which would always firmly stand by Xuan Country's side in any matter.
Yinna Country was also one of the countries with the highest level of diplomatic relations with Xuan Country. During the war, Xuan Country had offered assistance to the Oitans, and there is a stone pillar in the Freedom and Independence Square of Yinna Country, which bears the names of the countries that had helped them.
The name of Xuan Country was conspicuously listed, and while many believe that the Federation and Yinna Country have a close relationship, this is not the case.
The Federation favored and assisted Yinna Country simply because of the significant influence of the Oitans; they had to make that choice, or else the Federation would experience great turmoil.
The Federation was divided between the business empire interest faction and the national interest faction, and the business empire's influence was stronger than that of the national interest faction.
The business empire interest faction was in turn divided between the Oitans' interest faction and the natives' interest faction.
In their opposition to the national interest faction, the Oitans' interest faction and the natives' interest faction joined hands, otherwise they could not suppress the national interest faction.
The representative of this native interest faction was Silin's Ross family. The reason they are considered part of the native interest faction is that they had come to develop in the Federation earliest, while the Oitans only began to rise after World War II.
If you were to really talk about the relationship between Yinna Country and the Federation, the Federation should be more like Yinna Country's gun.
During the time Xuan Country was blockaded by the Federation, Yinna Country still provided military assistance to Xuan Country. Of course, they also reaped benefits from it, but sometimes money doesn't necessarily buy help.
...
The next day's news reported again on the matter: East Chao Country had purchased two Warhawk series fighter jets from Xuan Country.
West Basistan had also acquired three, and Yinna Country bought ten.
Without a doubt, Xuan Country definitely made a huge profit again from these sales, and, of course, Qin Hao would earn a bit as well, since they were using the intelligent chips from his company.
Over the next few days, more than thirty Warhawk Intelligent Unmanned Fighters would be delivered, and once the experiments concluded without any problems, they could be sent off.
Xuan Country reserved five aircraft for itself, which would eventually need to be deployed within its own air force.
However, Qin Hao didn't see the need to keep them anymore, because the air-energy engines were about to be released. These planes could be completely disposed of to make a profit, and then they could develop air-energy fighter jets.
The air-energy engine, coupled with artificial intelligence technology, would completely overpower the current Warhawk fighters.
Around eleven in the morning, Qin Hao received a phone call from Chang Jing: "Mr. Qin, the delegation from East Chao Country is here at our company. Could you meet them? They're here to discuss business."
A delegation from East Chao Country coming to talk business with me?
Their economy isn't very developed; could they be looking to introduce intelligent chips? That possibility doesn't seem very high.
Qin Hao: "I understand. You handle the reception for now, I'll be right over."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao left the villa and got into his car.
Upon his arrival at the company, Qin Hao encountered the envoys from East Chao Country in the reception room, a group of nine people, eight men and one woman.
"This is Mr. Qin," Chang Jing introduced to those present.
The female interpreter from the envoy group echoed, "This is Mr. Qin."
"Hello, Mr. Qin," the middle-aged man leading the delegation greeted him.
Qin Hao nodded slightly, then sat opposite them: "What sort of cooperation are you looking for with me?"
The leader of the group said, "We would like to invite Mr. Qin to invest in building factories in our East Chao Country. We will offer Mr. Qin many incentive policies. I know Mr. Qin is in charge of the Xinghai Association and your companies cover various industries."
It was impossible to keep the affairs of the Xinghai Association a secret. East Chao Country was looking to attract investment to promote economic prosperity.
Qin Hao nodded slightly. East Chao Country indeed was a good place; in the future, Qin Hao would have to deal with the world market, and Xuan Country's factories alone could not satisfy global demand. Building factories overseas was a necessary move.
Since East Chao Country wasn't very developed, the cost of labor and various other aspects would be very low.
Qin Hao spoke up, "I would like to know about the preferential policies your country can offer us?"
"We can offer tax reductions, and for buying land to build factories, we can also provide very substantial concessions, to the point that for certain key projects we can offer the land for free."
Qin Hao: "I am interested in knowing which sectors you plan to open up for cooperation."
"Aside from the military sector, we are willing to open up any other field to Mr. Qin. However, Mr. Qin would need to comply with our local laws. We would need to hold a certain share and you cannot unilaterally raise prices. The selling prices need our official review and approval."
Qin Hao was genuinely stunned by their offer—it was tantamount to full openness.
This included numerous lucrative industries such as telecommunications, electric power, real estate, finance, insurance, and so on.
Although East Chao Country wanted to hold some shares, they would also need to invest money to do so. Without an investment, they would have to exchange other things, and if they had nothing to exchange, the shares would be unrelated to them. It's not about not wanting to invest; it's about not having the capacity.
