Chapter 254 Make the impossible possible
Prince's silence didn't stop Tausi from thinking.

When a person's mind is completely occupied by "numbers", then his behavior may be a little strange.

The MPs on the stage were still chattering non-stop.

It's just a recitation of the importance of [Automobile Transport] and the execution manual.

Tao Xi didn't care about this, instead he looked around the scene to see who he knew other than Prince.

When he saw the Raytheon representative, he cheekily dragged his stool and moved over there.

The chair made a harsh "squeak" sound as it was dragged on the floor, and the councilor immediately threw the manual in his hand on the table.

All eyes on the scene were fixed on Tao Xi.

When Tao Xi found that the eyes of the people around him were all on him, he looked around with a puzzled expression. At this time, the originally angry expression of the congressman became much kinder in an instant.

The congressman with a strong smile explained: "Mr. Taoxi, the meeting will end in a while, do you need any help?"

"Oh!"

"I thought the presentation was over!"

"It's okay, you talk about yourself, don't worry about me, I'm going to inquire about something."

"Look at how many bids General Motors made at the arms presentation and how much money it made."

The congressman continued his introduction very obediently.

Only then did the colleagues present realize the influence of Tao Xi, a colleague in Congress!
When Roger Smith heard Tao Xi's blatant provocation, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently to the audience around him.

Prince had no choice but to drag the bench and followed Tao Xi's ass.

"squeak"

The unusually annoying noise caused the congressmen in the venue to swear "Fxxk"

When Prince heard the swearing of the congressman, he continued to go his own way with a face of indifference. The "squeak" noise seemed to be a slap in the face.

Just as the congressman was about to ask a question, the colleague sitting next to him muttered, "Old Shay's grandson"

The red-faced congressman continued his speech, but Tao Xi here had already started his "inquiry".

"Hey! Do you know me? Little Adams and I are good friends!"

The representative of Raytheon, member of the Adams family, Isaac Adams, twitched his muscles unnaturally. In the previous term, Tao Xi single-handedly kicked Adams off the throne of the family heir.

How could he not know.

"Hehehe, Mr. Taoxi, I know you. Emilio is my mother's brother."

"Oh! Then we are on our own. Let me ask you something. How many orders did General Motors get at the promotion meeting just now?"

Aissas thought about it seriously before answering: "You are talking about consumables and ammunition promotion meetings. What they got were some leftovers, the contract for M1A1 tank tracks and 7.62 million 100mm bullets."

"The estimated value of the executed contract is around US$16 billion."

Tao Xi started laughing when he heard the word "scrap", and gradually became vigilant when he heard that the amount was only 16 billion US dollars.

Perhaps the main destination of the other party is the US automobile transportation contract.

But Prince stared at the thick-skinned Taoxi in front of him with a look of surprise on his face. You must know that the reason why Emilio, the most promising political star of the Adams family, lost his status as a congressman was all caused by Taoxi. Caused.

He actually just chatted with others openly and aboveboard!
On Prince himself, he doesn't have such a thick skin.

But Tao Xi tilted his head and thought seriously if he bought the Land Rover now, would he still have time to grab the order.

Since Marko decided that the DeLorean auto plant would focus on pickup trucks and small cars, Tausi had plans to acquire another auto OEM.

The main technical support of Delore Automobile is the Suzuki Group's patents and the group of Soviet technicians hired with high salaries.

But how could the United States, which has finally hardened itself, adopt Taoxi, an automobile company with Soviet technology as the main body and Suzuki Group as the auxiliary?

So [acquiring Land Rover] is indeed a good idea.

"Is Land Rover a supplier of the British military series now?"

Prince was confused by Tao Xi's thoughtless question: "Are you asking me? Who should I ask?"

But Aisas, who was on the opposite side, said directly: "Land Rover was acquired by the current British Airways. It was just the year before last. They are also the largest supplier of arms to the British Air Force."

When Tao Xi heard this, he immediately became interested.

"Sigh~"

"It just so happens that I still have a helicopter production line that is half dead. You said that if I can buy British Aerospace, will I be the largest arms supplier to the US Air Force in the future?"

When Aissa heard Tao Xi's words, his complexion was as ugly as if he had eaten a stool.

"Hey! Raytheon is the largest arms supplier to the U.S. Air Force!"

"BAE and Raytheon are the biggest competitors!"

Prince Shea complained to Tao Xi with the expression of looking at the bumpkin in the country, but Tao Xi asked Aisas indifferently: "When will the bids for automobile production and transportation be opened?"

"Should be a week later than the consumables for munitions."

"If you really intend to buy British Airways, it is not very likely that British Airways is the largest funder of the British Conservative Party."

"They will not allow an American shareholder to exist."

"If you are interested, I can introduce you to a British Airways shareholder who is actually very interested in you."

A big meeting is held at the top, and a small meeting is held at the bottom.

Prince didn't know how long the promotion meeting lasted, but the anger of the congressman above was almost written on his face.

What surprised Prince the most was that until the end of the presentation!

Aisas and Tao Xi walked out shoulder to shoulder.

A qualified automobile company is not a qualified automobile company if it does not have military purchase orders.

In order to make the DeLoreau Motor Company his third carriage, Tausi and Isaac came to the 888 Presidential Suite at the Haley Principal's Conference Hotel in Manchester in person.

"Hey! Tao Xi, nice to meet you!"

"Hahaha! Aethas, I knew you wanted to know Tao Xi. If it wasn't for Tao Xi, your mother wouldn't have the ability to let you sneak into Raytheon as a military purchase representative."

An old man in the presence of an old god crossed his legs.

His hands were crossed together on his knees, if it weren't for his white mustache, which was particularly joyful, maybe Tao Xi still had a little bit of nervousness.

After all, the surname Churchill in the UK is still very rare.

Ever since Isaac Adams entered the hotel, he felt a little cramped, and he didn't know if it was Tao Xi's illusion.

Isaac Adams has been so excited since arriving in London!

Yes, that's right, excitement.

"Wow, Aethas, you are still too young. If you have one-third of your uncle's stability, I think your mother will definitely be able to stand in London, the former political center, and attend various balls."

Tao Xi did not speak hastily but waited cautiously for the other party's question.

"Tausi, I can sell Land Rover, but there are many ways to sell him."

"He has two business segments, the four-wheel vehicle business and the military foundry business. If you can meet my requirements, I can deliver a complete Land Rover to you in the shortest possible time. I can give it to you too."

Tao Xi was not very surprised to hear the other party's request.

If the other party really came up and made friends with him, then he would really have to worry about it.

"Tell me, I'm a businessman after all."

"I'd be a little sad if you talked to me about something that didn't interest me."

The old man who tilted his head pouted his mouth to signal Aethas Adams who was sitting beside him to speak.

Aissa took a deep breath and looked into Tao Xi's eyes seriously and replied: "As far as I know, you have a transport ship route near Somalia, and they have a lot of influence near Somalia, if you If you don’t mind, I hope you can come forward and communicate with them to help us build a temporary airport nearby.”

Tao Xi was frightened by the overly obvious words of Aisas, sweating all over his back.

What kind of shit route, isn't it just a bunch of shady pirates?It's really a pity that they are of high quality and can speak so freshly and refinedly.

"That's all?"

"No, no, this is just the beginning. I remember that you still own a large piece of seaside land in Hokkaido, Japan. I hope you can also help us build a temporary airport here."

Tao Xi couldn't help but slander when he heard Isaac's request: "With so many airports, are you planning to provide a temporary maintenance station for the U.S. Air Force?"

"of course."

"In return, we will share these two locations with British Aerospace Corporation. If there are aircraft that need to be repaired or refurbished in the future, we can also recover some costs appropriately."

Tao Xi knows a little bit about the situation in Hokkaido. It is not that the Japanese government is unwilling to provide land to these large US military suppliers, but that some Japanese people are actually disgusted with foreigners building military bases on their territory.

But Tao Xi is different. Now 80% of the population of Otaru City has to rely on him to make money.

The Panamanian Commercial Bank under Taoxi has the strength to bear all the infamy, but if it is placed in other roles, it will either step down or the people will march.

But Japan has a U.S. military base on Guam Island, but why did Somalia establish an air force service center?

Didn’t you beg you to buy the land in Somalia?
Do you have to let him show up?
Is Somalia going to war?
Tao Xi, who suddenly thought of this, quickly shook his head and said "deal" to the two people around him, and left decisively.

Ask what you should, don't ask what you shouldn't, he's only here for a deal!
Tao Xi really didn't have much interest in the British Museum, but he couldn't help his little sweetheart Tajana Pardis, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, pleading.

In fact, sometimes a girl can't live without worrying about food and clothing, because she tends to be idle and have new hobbies.

For example, Tajana Pardis didn't know when she became the VIP of Sotheby's Auction House, and a black card with gold leaf waved lightly.

A deposit of £10 was paid in.

"Since when have you been interested in these bottles and cans?"

"Hmph, men are not by my side every day, why don't you let me go shopping here?" Tajana Patis looked at the auction held in the British Museum today with great interest as she stepped on her long legs.

When Tao Xi saw the shocking price above, he felt a little distressed.

On the contrary, Tajana Pardis was able to tell the ins and outs of those things in different categories, and the agent at the side clearly recognized Tao Xi, and his arrogant look seemed to be afraid that Tao Xi would run away!
Tajana Pardis seemed to be very satisfied with the existence of the auction broker, showing him the intimate relationship between Taoxi and her from time to time.

"Honey, I really like this painting. It was painted by Van Gogh."

"Buy! I have money!"

Tajana Pardis was very satisfied when she heard Tao Xi's answer. When she was about to show her affection again, a booth that gathered many people attracted her attention.

"This water lily is so realistic! Is this also in today's lot?"

Seeing that his commission has been settled, the agent introduced him enthusiastically: "Miss Tajana! You are really discerning, this lot is our finale today, Mr. Monet If the appraiser's guess is correct, the estimated transaction price of this lot will be more than 5000 million US dollars!"

Tajana Pardis couldn't help but gasp when she heard the price.

She can buy a piece of art with hundreds of thousands of dollars, or buy a pair of Van Gogh's brushwork with Tao Xi's love for her, but she can't be ignorant and spend Tao Xi's so much money!
Tao Xi seemed to see Tajana's love for this painting.

Since she came here, she basically couldn't move her footsteps, and the agent on the side kept fanning the flames and muttering to Tao Xi: "This painting is the work of Mr. Monet in his later years. The style of this painting is suitable for Your wife's."

Tao Xi groped his chin and couldn't see these things at all.

But these things can't resist his love for his woman, he thinks that he can wait for the auction to start to surprise his little sweetheart.

Sotheby's seems to have set a high standard for this sale.

There were not many people present, most of them were old men and women, and the only one that Tao Xi was familiar with was an old British aristocrat.

Tajana Pardis kept sitting next to Tausi and gave him various introductions.

"Why do you like these things?"

"Actually, I don't like these things either, but I don't know why the bosses of those luxury goods companies like to participate in this kind of auction. I started to study these things in order to make my own clothing brand more compelling."

"When you were still in Japan, I suddenly thought, if I opened three luxury women's clothing stores in New York, London, and Paris, and the clothing stores were filled with these antiques, would my clothing store be invisible? It has its own style."

Tao Xi couldn't help but nodded in agreement when he heard Tajana's explanation.

I have to say that this idea is really good, maybe it can really make her tinker with something.
