The first day of the International Space Business Conference passed. Su Qingyun and Ji Yue were in the hotel. After washing up, they chatted.
"I guess we'll be on the front pages of newspapers around the world tomorrow." Su Qingyun smiled. "I can imagine what provocative headlines these media outlets will come up with."
"It's okay." Ji Yue said calmly, "This is a process we all have to go through. From doubt to belief, we've all come this way. Don't worry."
"Yeah, I know." Su Qingyun nodded. "In fact, sometimes, the more suspicious we are, the more we take it seriously. Maybe it can even become a booster to help us achieve our goals."
Ji Yue also smiled, "That would be the best."
As they chatted, they fell asleep.
The next morning, everyone got up early. Chen Shouchun and the other two also got up early. When the five of them went downstairs to the restaurant to eat, there were not many people in the restaurant.
Breakfast was served buffet style. A few people took their plates, picked up some food, and then found a secluded place to sit down.
"I received a message from the Huaxin News Agency early this morning," Huang Zuoyi said as he ate. "Our report yesterday really did cause a huge stir. We were featured on the front pages of many countries."
"The headline in Country A's newspaper was 'Chinese people overestimate their capabilities and dream of entering the international aviation market.' It was very straightforward."
"The headline in Country S's newspaper was 'A declining ancient nation has risen. Can it capture a share of the international aviation market?' That was considered quite tactful and respectful."
"Then there's Country F. Their newspaper headline is 'China's fledgling aerospace technology prepares to participate in international competition,' which is relatively objective."
"There are other countries as well, all of which are very impressive," Huang Zuoyi continued, citing several examples. "Whether they say good things or bad things, at least it proves that we've caught their attention, which is good. We should view it positively."
"Yes." Chen Shouchun nodded. "Our performance at the meeting has also been reported back to China. This morning, Minister Jiang called me and highly praised our performance yesterday. We were rigorous and conscientious, neither humble nor overbearing, and we displayed our style. We deserve praise and encouragement."
"Qingyun, you played a considerable role in this." Chen Shouchun looked at Su Qingyun with a smile.
Su Qingyun swallowed the bread in his mouth and said with a smile: "This is of course the result of our concerted efforts."
Chen Shouchun nodded. "Okay, let's not argue about who got the credit. Now let's talk business, about our mission."
His expression became serious, and the other four people also became serious and put down their knives and forks.
Before they came, the Ministry of Aviation Industry gave them the mission for this trip.
"Minister Jiang mentioned earlier that our mission this time, in addition to successfully completing the report, is to ideally achieve international cooperation with other countries in the aviation field. This task is quite significant. Does anyone have any ideas? Please share them."
Chen Shouchun looked at the few people with anticipation.
Several people frowned and began to think.
"I think we must first choose a country as a breakthrough point." Ji Yue thought for a while and said, "As long as there is the first person to try it out, those who come after will see the benefits and naturally follow suit."
"Yes." Huang Zuoyi confirmed his idea. "We discussed this before coming here."
"So many countries are attending this conference, and the relationships between many of them are complex. We only have two days to cover them all, so we can only choose one country as a breakthrough point and concentrate our firepower on it, striving to break through this tough obstacle. As long as we can get other countries to see it, there will be no worries about future cooperation."
Chief Engineer Wang frowned, "So which country should we choose?"
"First, rule out Country A."
"Country A can't do that!"
Su Qingyun and Ji Yue said it in unison.
The three of them looked at the two of them instantly.
Chen Shouchun smiled. "You two seem to be on the same page, but we think the same way. Country A is targeting us too strongly, and that's clearly unacceptable. They're already trying to deal with us, and it's impossible for them to cooperate with us. Therefore, they are the first country we need to eliminate."
"Yes." Huang Zuoyi nodded. "Country A must be eliminated first. Even if we cooperate with them, it would be like courting disaster. Forget win-win cooperation. The first thing we have to be wary of is each other."
"So what's the better option?"
Su Qingyun thought about it, hesitated, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Qingyun, what do you want to say? Feel free to say it." Chief Engineer Wang looked at her and said gently.
Su Qingyun organized his words and said, "I think there are two more suitable options. One is Country F. Their aviation sector is a world leader, but the development of the aerospace sector is still unsatisfactory, so their needs are very urgent. If we choose to cooperate with them, it will be beneficial to both parties."
Chen Shouchun and the other two fell into deep thought.
"Qingyun, please continue." Huang Zuoyi said, "Who is the other country?"
"The other one is Country D." Su Qingyun continued, "Country D is somewhat similar to us. They experienced a decade of stagnation in aerospace research due to the war. We also experienced a decade of stagnation in scientific research due to... some reasons. To some extent, we are in the same boat."
"Like Country F, which I just mentioned, they urgently need to change their current situation, so they're also eager to seek international cooperation. Furthermore, there's another important point: Country D, due to historical factors, has also faced international discrimination at times, just like us. I think using them as a starting point will make it easier to start."
Su Qingyun carefully explained the pros and cons of the two countries, and everyone fell into deep thought.
"I think Qingyun's two ideas are very good," Huang Zuoyi said after thinking for a moment. "Although the international situations of Country F and Country D are much better than ours, they do have some similarities. Their attitude towards us isn't as sharp as Country A's. I think we can try to gain some ground."
"Okay, then we'll find a way to start with these two countries. It would be best if we could reach cooperation with both. If not, choosing one will also be considered mission accomplished." Chen Shouchun made the decision. "After the morning meeting, we can talk to the spokesperson and head of their delegation."
"good."
All five of them nodded.
