The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on Zhao Guoyang's face through the blinds of the curtains.

Zhao Guoyang, who woke up in a daze, picked up the watch on the bedside table and looked at it. It was less than six o'clock.

Today is the last day before the Chinese delegation's return, and it is also the day when Hornasek, president of the Brno Arsenal, invited him to have lunch together.

As the leading wealthy businessman in Czechoslovakia, the activities of Horacek were arranged very thoughtfully.

Just last night, he called and made an appointment with Zhao Guoyang again, telling him that there would be a special car to pick him up at 8 o'clock this morning.

Zhao Guoyang naturally would not refuse such etiquette randomly, and agreed very readily.

Zhao Guoyang is still looking forward to his upcoming meeting with this legendary arms dealer today.

Hornasek is very powerful in Czechoslovakia and can speak in many departments of the government.

If you can maintain a good relationship with this boss, it will be very beneficial to the future development of "Xingtai International" and "sunmoonstar".

After lying on the bed for a while, Zhao Guoyang said to himself: "I don't know what Mr. Horacek's personal preference is... I'll just go to the store outside to buy some gifts later. You can't go there empty-handed, right?"

When Zhao Guoyang finished washing and went down to have breakfast, he realized that his worries were really redundant.

Just when he just sat down, Minister Gu Jianbin rushed over there with a letter.

Seeing the boss coming, Zhao Guoyang quickly prepared to stand up and say hello.

Minister Gu laughed and patted Zhao Guoyang on the shoulder and said, "Researcher Zhao, don't be polite, you can sit down."

While talking, Gu Jianbin placed a gift bag on Zhao Guoyang's table: "Researcher Zhao, didn't Mr. Horacek invite you to his villa today to talk? You should remember to bring this gift with you. This is specially prepared by our embassy..."

"Ah...this, I..." Zhao Guoyang was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to say something thankful, he was stopped by Mr. Gu with a smile.

"Researcher Zhao, what is this little gift worthy of your help to our embassy and making such a huge contribution to the delegation?" Gu Jianbin looked at Zhao Guoyang very seriously and said.

Zhao Guoyang scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed.

Speaking of which, although he did help the embassy and the "delegation" earned enough face, he also made great efforts to acquire the shares of "Skoda".

But Zhao Guoyang himself also got a lot of benefits.

For example, when several bigwigs were in a meeting yesterday, they clearly told Zhao Guoyang that after receiving the report, the leader above had made a decision: no matter whether this "acquisition" can be accomplished, he will be given a certain personal reward after the delegation returns to China.

Although the leader did not say specifically what the rewards were.

But being able to make such a promise before the matter is settled, obviously the leaders are really satisfied with their performance this time.

Now, I was invited to visit Mr. Hornersek, and the embassy also thoughtfully prepared gifts for myself, which was really not easy.

He pointed to the very exquisite gift package with his finger, and Gu Jianbin explained: "It is our specialty of China's 'blue and white porcelain' vase. Although it is not a genuine product from the Ming and Qing dynasties, the craftsmanship is absolutely impeccable."

As far as he goes, Zhao Guoyang no longer politely to this Minister Gu.

He said "hmm", took the gift package, and thanked the other party for a few words.

"Researcher Zhao, I won't remind you about today's meeting."

Gu Jianbin spread his hands calmly and said, "To be honest, with your ability and insight, I'm afraid you're more thoughtful than I thought about it!"

"On this point, we all agree..."

Mr. Gu's words were a great praise to Zhao Guoyang. After hearing his praise, Zhao Guoyang could only pinch his nose and be humble.

After Zhao Guoyang finished breakfast, he was about to accuse Minister Gu of guilty, went to the room to clean up, and waited for the phone call from Horacek, and someone came trotting in front of him.

Those who came were familiar faces, embassy staff and secretary Tang Xing.

Seeing the young secretary's hurried look, Gu Jianbin was a little confused: "Xiao Tang, what's going on?"

Tang Xing quickly explained: "Minister Gu, it is someone from the Brno Arsenal who has come to pick up Researcher Zhao, and is waiting at the door..."

"Uh, so fast?" Gu Jianbin couldn't help but raise his hand and look at his watch.

"It's less than seven o'clock... It seems that Mr. Hornersek really attaches great importance to you, Researcher Zhao!"

Listening to Mr. Gu's kind-hearted teasing, Zhao Guoyang didn't have much to say, so he could only remain silent.

After joking for a few words, Gu Jianbin patted Zhao Guoyang on the shoulder and said, "Since everyone is here, I won't delay you, Researcher Zhao. I hope everything goes well..."

"By the way, if we ask our embassy to send someone to answer, just call me!"

...

The town of Karlovy Vary is a famous spring city in the Bohemia region of Czech Republic, 120 kilometers away from the capital Prague.

Here, the Tepra River passes through the city and divides the town into two. On both sides of the river are colorful buildings built along the mountains.

Among these buildings, the most conspicuous one is the super villa with a "b.h" hanging next to the river.

Zhao Guoyang thought about this sign in the villa for a little thought and guessed the meaning.

Obviously, "b" represents the Brno Arsenal, and "h" naturally represents the surname "Honasek" of the owner.

It is rare in the entire Czechoslovakia that can name luxury houses in wealthy areas by their family's surname.

When the Mercedes-Benz carrying Zhao Guoyang stopped in front of the "b.h" villa, a beautiful butler-like figure came over.

"Hello, Researcher Zhao! I am Mr. Hornacek's personal assistant - Ivanova."

After the beautiful housekeeper shook hands with Zhao Guoyang with a smile, he introduced himself.

"Uh, Hello Miss Ivan!" Zhao Guoyang nodded, and the calm and indifferent temperament he showed made the other party obviously a little secretly surprised.

"Researcher Zhao, please come with me. Mr. Horacek is already waiting for you in the study!"

While saying this, Ivanova made a "please" gesture and sent Zhao Guoyang into an electric scooter.

This kind of electric scooter is similar to the kind that Zhao Guoyang saw on the golf course a few days ago. Generally, in Europe, only rich people who pay attention to it can use it.

This is not to say how expensive this kind of car is, but that villas of average size cannot use it at all.

Of course, the size of this "b.h" villa is definitely enough.

After Zhao Guoyang got on the bus, he drove the scooter for about ten minutes before he arrived at a mansion.

Under the leadership of the beautiful butler Ivanova, Zhao Guoyang followed suit and entered this extremely quaint mansion.

After Ivanova pushed open a door, Zhao Guoyang saw the big man wearing reading glasses looking at some book.

"Sir, Researcher Zhao has arrived!" Ivanova reminded softly.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Hornacek raised his head and nodded at Ivanova, then slowly walked down from his seat.

"Researcher Zhao, I'm very happy to meet again!" When he walked to Zhao Guoyang, the boss happily held his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Hornersek! This is my kindness!" Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly and gently placed the gift he brought with him next to him.

Horacek glanced at the gift with great interest and said with a smile: "Researcher Zhao is so polite, thank you!"

After chatting for a while, a servant had already brought Zhao Guoyang fresh milk tea unique to Czechoslovakia.

After the guest and host took a seat, after a few gossips, Horacek went straight to the topic and said, "Researcher Zhao, I really want to have a deep conversation with you!"

Listening to the boss's sincere words, Zhao Guoyang nodded silently, indicating that he understood.

Horacek was very satisfied with Zhao Guoyang's reaction. He took out a box from the table and opened it. Slowly, he rolled up the cigar and said, "The last time Researcher Zhao's words at the dinner were really thought-provoking."

"I really want to know what you think about the future development of the world's military industry and how we should go on the road to Czechoslovakia."

Looking at the other party's earnest gaze, Zhao Guoyang thought for a while and then said calmly: "Mr. Horacek, as the 1990s, the rapid changes in science and technology in the world have also brought great opportunities to the development of military technology."

"However, due to the multidisciplinary, marginal, cutting-edge characteristics of military technology, the further development of military technology actually faces many difficulties and restrictions."

"In recent years, major military-industrial powers in the world, especially Western countries, have been working hard to take various countermeasures to maintain their military-industrial technological advantages. In order to achieve more points in the future comprehensive national strength competition," he said.

"One of their main countermeasures among them is to take the path of internationalization! Although the military industry in Czechoslovakia has always been very strong, if it is still a tide of internationalization, the result may not be very beautiful..."

"The road to internationalization is really so important?" Horacek frowned slightly when he heard this.

"That's right!"

Zhao Guoyang said firmly: "Since the 1970s, international cooperation between countries around the world in military technology has been continuously strengthened. After entering the 1970s, this trend has expanded and attracted widespread attention from the international community."

"To give the simplest example, after the Gulf War, Israel and the United States joined forces to develop its own anti-missile system - the David Stone Chaser. And the United States is also happy to see its latest achievements and can withstand the test of actual combat."

"To a certain extent, such cooperation is a win-win..."
