Kolokoltsev was unhappy:
"I don't want seem, maybe, or probably. I want certain, definite, and certain. Do you want me to report my guesses back home as intelligence? Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?"
Even the Russians always think about who should take the blame before doing anything.
A special agent suggested:
"We can ask the Chinese to open the X-ray machine cover and take a look at the internal structure and parts. I strongly suspect that the Chinese only built the shell, and the parts inside were imported from the United States. They just assembled it."
If Lin Sanqi were there, he would definitely say: "You really have a knack for association? We are definitely not the conscience of the United States."
The staff of the Russian embassy secretly found an ambassador from the Eastern European country of Romania, and the two of them talked in whispers for a long time.
At this time, Lin Sanqi was just like a street gym salesman in later generations, holding an English version of the X-ray machine instruction manual and handing one to every foreigner he saw.
Anyway, these instructions will need to be provided to representatives from various countries who have purchased X-rays.
The representative who was still hesitating might make up his mind after seeing this instruction manual + product promotion paper, and just wave his hand and order another 100 units.
The more X-ray machines these foreigners buy, the more Lin Sanqi will profit, which is why he is willing to be used as a pawn.
Otherwise, with so much time and no benefit, he would rather go back to Changping to harvest corn.
"Hello, please support our Chinese X-ray machines."
"Yes, our model is the world's most advanced 750 mAh large X-ray machine. Currently, only a few countries such as the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and France can produce it."
"Our price is $50,000 per unit, and we support food trade. No, no, no, we don't want minerals or timber. We only accept US dollars, British pounds, or gold, or food."
"Sir, our country has no additional requirements for trading with us. No political demands, no embargoes. We are a friendly nation. Only rogue hegemonic powers threaten us all the time."
"We hope that everyone in the world can enjoy the benefits of modern medicine. We want everyone to be equal, and that everyone, regardless of race, can enjoy the right to health."
While distributing information, Lin Sanqi did not forget to mention a few words about the two superpowers of Yin and Yang from time to time.
Director Hank Allen of the United States was surprised when he heard this and asked a subordinate next to him:
"What's the market price of a 750 mAh X-ray machine in the United States?"
"Sir, the current market price in our country is between $80,000 and $100,000 per unit. Different manufacturers have their own pricing, but it's definitely not less than $80,000."
"So, China's X-ray machines have an advantage simply in terms of price. Plus, they don't have export restrictions. Where do they get their core technology and accessories?"
At this time, the representative of Romani raised his hand:
"Mr. Lin, we in Romania have purchased 10 X-ray machines from your country. We have a small request. Could you disassemble one of the machines on site so we can inspect the components?"
In the past, China and the Russians had the same stance, so their friends overlapped and their friendly countries were almost the same.
When the big brother made a request, almost all of the younger countries responded, and all expressed their desire to see what was going on inside the machine.
Even the US representatives were quite interested. Although they did not ask any questions, several smart secret service personnel had already taken up advantageous positions and prepared the best viewing positions.
Lin Sanqi didn't suspect anything was wrong and didn't even ask the leader behind the scenes for permission. He just nodded and agreed:
"OK, of course not a problem. Our 'Shanghai Brand' X-ray machines all use proprietary technology, and all components are domestically produced. If you're interested, we can disassemble all five X-ray machines on site for everyone to see."
When Leader Cheng heard this, he felt secretly anxious, thinking that he really lacked experience in foreign affairs reception.
"Why did Xiao Lin agree so easily? I just saw that the Russian representatives have been colluding with each other. It's obviously a conspiracy of theirs."
When Leader Jing heard this, he chuckled:
"Don't worry, we have no qualms about this. If we say it's domestically made, it's domestically made. Even if the king comes, it's domestically made."
The staff from the Logistics Department of the Chinese Medicine Hospital quickly stepped forward and opened the outer shell of the X-ray machine, revealing the movement structure inside.
The representatives of other small countries are still just outsiders watching the fun. As long as it looks beautiful on the outside, they are not interested in knowing how it is made inside. Even if they knew, it is impossible for their country to make it.
The representatives of the United States and the Soviet Union were suddenly excited, and some staff members had already quietly taken out their cameras.
Lin Sanqi quickly stepped forward to stop him and said:
"Everyone, please watch, but don't take pictures all the time. This is a bad habit. There are many confidential technologies of our country in here. You can remember as much as you can, but you are not allowed to take pictures."
Representatives from the United States and the Soviet Union put away their cameras in disappointment, while professional agents took the time to study the differences between China's domestically produced X-ray machines.
All important internal components are stamped with the word "Shanghai", which is very eye-catching.
Americans thought, this doesn't look like it was produced in Russia. The parts are so small and sophisticated that they even surpass their American machines.
The Russians were also puzzled, thinking that this machine did not seem to be made in the United States, otherwise why would there be Shanghai logos on all the metal parts?
Americans are very arrogant. The bald eagle is printed on their parts. They may allow China to put its own brand on the appearance, but they will never put its own brand on the parts.
Lin Sanqi then signaled the staff to bring out a film reader.
"After seeing our X-ray machine, you may not have a direct impression of it. Now I will show you a few sets of photos. This first set of X-ray films is three X-rays of the same fractured patient, taken on the same part.
This one was taken with a General Motors X-ray machine in the US, the second one was taken with an X-ray machine from the Izhevsk factory in the Soviet Union, and the third one was taken with the Shanghai X-ray machine you see in front of you. You can compare them yourself."
As soon as the lights on the three film readers were turned on, the film was clearly displayed in front of everyone.
"Wow, the Chinese films are so clear."
"The first and second images are a bit blurry, but the fracture is still obvious. If it were a bone fracture, it might have been easily missed."
"How amazing! China's X-ray technology has surpassed that of the United States and the Soviet Union?"
The foreigners were whispering to each other, and Lin Sanqi thought to himself that he was cheating a bit. After all, his machine was 750 mAh, while the machines from the US and the Soviet Union were only 400 mAh, and they were old models that had been produced for more than 10 years...
But he deliberately didn't say it out loud. This is business war, hehehe~~~
After a while, the staff changed to the second set of X-ray films.
Lin Sanqi was still shouting hard:
"This set is chest X-rays, still using X-ray technology from three countries. Everyone is knowledgeable and can use their own wisdom to compare them."
The US representatives were so angry that they laughed: "Fake, how can you compare like that? There's a generation gap in technology, okay?"
The Russian representative's face darkened with anger: "These damn groundhogs are maliciously belittling us!"
Seeing that neither of them could get any useful information, the Americans and the Russians started to discuss in a low voice, and then their staffs dispersed to look for their allies.
In 1960, the world was divided into two parts:
One part is the Western countries led by the United States, including all developed countries in Europe, which are in the US camp.
The other part is the socialist countries headed by the Russians. Whether we admit it or not, China is also part of the Russians, including most countries in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
So when the two big brothers want to cause trouble, the younger brothers can only help to cheer them on, whether they like it or not.
Just when China thought that today's product promotion would be very successful, another small country jumped out.
"Mr. Lin, you said that you produced all these X-ray machines, but as far as we know, your Chinese side hasn't revealed any information before. This makes us suspicious."
Lin Sanqi thought that it was normal for the other party to have such suspicion. It was just like a poor family suddenly driving a Ferrari sports car and claiming that it was made by themselves, which would definitely arouse suspicion.
But I can admit it in my heart, but I have to be tough in my words:
"That's easy to explain. Good science and technology must be kept strictly confidential. We can't just shout about our achievements to the whole country and the world right after we've made a small achievement, right?"
Leaders Jing and Cheng, who were not far away, immediately became alert when they heard this. Their rich experience told them that there was something wrong.
Sure enough, the representative of another small Eastern European country raised his hand, apparently about to speak... (End of this chapter)
