"What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Commander Kang quickly coughed lightly, "Little Yueyue, is there something else you haven't said?"
Commander Kang was quite embarrassed by his question, after all, the young girl had brought back quite a lot for China from her trip to Japan. He felt that asking such a question was a bit excessive.
Without Commander Kang needing to say more, Tang Yue understood China's current predicament. "Commander Kang, if we apply for funding from higher authorities, how much can we get?"
Commander Kang pondered for a moment, "I heard from those scientists that your blueprint is highly feasible and basically achievable. In that case, even if the country tightens its belt in other places, it will definitely allocate the funds for this project."
However, I haven't calculated the exact amount yet. Do you know how much it will cost?
This question stumped Tang Yue. She shrugged, "Commander Kang, I don't know anything about prices."
After asking his question, Commander Kang realized he had asked a stupid one. After all, the little girl was too young, and no matter how capable she was, she couldn't possibly pay attention to everything.
Chang Yin was much more direct. "We can definitely get funding, but it's impossible to reach the full amount." As he spoke, he looked at Tang Yue. "You have money."
This wasn't a question, it was a statement. Tang Yue wanted to roll her eyes; this guy had her cornered.
"There are some, but not many. I don't know if it will be enough."
Commander Kang got excited. "How much do you have?" It wasn't that the higher-ups didn't support their work, but China was just too poor right now; every penny had to be carefully budgeted. Things were incredibly tight. Commander Kang felt that things like saving face were completely unimportant.
Tang Yue thought for a moment, "I don't know the exact amount. But can I use US dollars and Japanese yen? I don't have any large sums."
Tang Yue asked with a straight face. The little bit of money she had was all obtained from the secret agents. It was the foundation of her family's livelihood, and she would never give it up.
Besides, with only a few tens of thousands of yuan, she felt there wasn't much she could do with it. It would be more suitable to use American or Japanese products.
Even though they were somewhat prepared, Commander Kang and Chang Yin were still taken aback. "You really have rice dollars?"
Commander Kang stared intently into Tang Yue's eyes, genuinely not wanting to hear her say no.
Tang Yue nodded, "When I was in Japan, I wanted to experience what it was like to spend money to buy things, but I didn't have any Japanese yen, so I went to the bank and took some. There was a lot of money stored there at the time, so I took more than I needed. But I don't know exactly how much."
Commander Kang was very satisfied, his wrinkled face beaming with smiles. "Haha, that's wonderful!"
Tang Yue had a question: "Is it really okay for China to spend this money?"
Tang Yue knew that the money had serial numbers on it. Commander Kang smiled mysteriously, "That's not something you should be worrying about." Then he stared intently at Tang Yue.
Tang Yue didn't hesitate. "Okay, Commander, you can arrange for someone to retrieve it from the conference room next door later." She knew how to retrieve things remotely, so she could certainly put it down.
Commander Kang, disregarding everything else, hurried out of the office. Chang Yin, unable to contain her curiosity, followed him. Tang Yue kindly left a space by the door.
The moment Commander Kang pushed open the door, the entire conference room was packed, a sea of red and green filling his vision. Commander Kang had to crane his neck to see the ceiling. He was speechless. His carefully prepared expectations had once again been shattered by Tang Yue.
Poverty limited his imagination. His idea of robbing a bank was completely different from what Tang Yue described. His idea of robbing a bank was simply taking as much as he could.
But he forgot that this little girl was someone who could take away a warehouse full of treasures, so losing the money from the Japanese bank wasn't a bad deal.
Tang Yue stared at Commander Kang's expression, which remained blank. He seemed unsure of what expression to wear.
But this signaled to Tang Yue that Commander Kang was very dissatisfied. Tang Yue understood; when she went abroad again, her first target would be the banks there, because China was desperately short of money.
It's not easy to do much at a bank. Tang Yue felt a little regretful; why hadn't she thought of that back then? She should have taken more.
Hey, where does the Northeast border again? Maybe I can go there for training and grab some more?
Commander Kang and Chang Yin had no idea what Tang Yue was thinking. If they did, well, they probably would have supported her too. As long as it didn't force the US and Japan to change their currencies, they could take whatever they wanted.
“Commander Kang, I suggest we keep the blueprints in the lab. I made two copies before giving them to them, just in case one was damaged or lost. Now they come in handy.”
Commander Kang felt speechless. After all this commotion, it turned out the little girl had two more copies. If he had known this, why had he made such a fuss?
Chang Yin grasped the key point: "You have a photocopier?"
"Yes, there are. Didn't I say? It seems like there are several."
Often hidden...
Commander Kang...
The photocopier was invented in the United States, and China only successfully produced it this year. They don't even have a single one in the South Island yet. And this little girl immediately asked for several.
Seeing that there was no room left in the room, Tang Yue generously placed five photocopiers in Commander Kang's office. She also thoughtfully placed a blueprint on Commander Kang's desk.
She thought photocopiers were too useless and assumed that China wouldn't need them either, so she didn't pay any attention to them at all. If it weren't for the fact that Da Tou Zhen used one to photocopy blueprints, she would never have even thought of it.
