Chapter 1401: General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade

Of course Aldrin is not alone. He still has experts in other fields beside him. For example, he is talking now, Bill, a famous economic expert.
Bill looked at Qin Guan with a sharp look in his eyes. What kind of space activities do you want to do, do you have to completely abandon the economic results you have achieved now?
Qin Guan smiled: "Of course not. Of course we want to develop the economy, but we also know that only the country’s surrounding environment can have good development opportunities. If we don’t participate in this space competition, then our space There will be crises. At this time, can we do business with peace of mind?"
There is one sentence that Qin Guan did not say. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, if we had not fought a war in the border area of ​​the Northeast, would we have a chance for development? I'm afraid we will never have peace.
Yes, we attach importance to economic development, but we also hope to have a good external environment. This requires our own hands to prop up the space. There is nothing we can do. We are forced to get involved.
After all, until now, you have not said that you want to unite us to develop a space program. Of course, if you invite us, we will refuse it. We don't have the funds to accompany you to do this, but now, this is a good reason.
Bill can't go on. Once these stubborn Han people make up their minds, if they really want to do something, they will definitely do it.
Going on, maybe it will arouse the other side's resentment, and in the end everyone will not be able to step down.
Bill thought this way in his heart. He felt that there was nothing else to gain from coming here this time except for participating in this meeting of Han State and knowing that Han State has a huge space program.
Han is a great country, and the people of Han are a smart nation. If they look for such a direction, then, in space, Eagle will not only face the bear country, but will also have the power of Han. .
This is obviously not good news for them.
"Okay, let's talk about our high-thrust rocket plan." Qin Guan continued the meeting: "This is a political task assigned by the superior. It is as arduous as our atomic and hydrogen bomb tasks. We must complete this large thrust as soon as possible. The development of rockets must not delay the construction of our space station."
The Yingguo people can only be the audience there, listening to Qin Guan's spitting stars, and talking about specific knowledge, they are actually very clever.
"Our development direction must be a liquid oxygen kerosene engine." Qin Guan continued: "Eagle Country's Saturn-5 uses this kind of engine. We can no longer use highly polluting propellants. We must benefit mankind and reject it. Pollution."
The representative of the Eagle country can only continue to listen, what Qin Guan said about the various cycles of the engine, how to avoid mistakes, and so on.
Finally, the meeting is over.
"Well, today's meeting, we will end here." Qin Guan said: "Take advantage of the arrival of these Eagle Country friends, let's go to Quanjude to eat roast duck, take the account of our North Industries Corporation, and I will treat you."
(Hua Xiong is a bun, thinking that Quanjude roast duck is no different from the roast duck that costs 18 yuan on the street. Later, I learned that this is not something that ordinary people can eat. When you go in, it can be as little as a thousand.)
The old spacefighters all smiled, as long as Qin Guan is there, they will definitely not treat everyone badly. Now, everyone has wasted half a day to play with Qin Guan and eat delicious food. That is normal, for sure. It was Qin Guan's treat.
Qin Guan greeted him, and Quanjude set aside the largest box. These old astronauts were not paid very high. When the society has begun to develop and the people who get rich first continue to appear, they still guard against poverty. Compared with other industries, the aerospace industry is still an industry with high investment and no return.
The master wearing a tall white hat began to cut the roasted duck piece by piece, and then everyone could use their hands, dip the sauce, and roll it up to eat.
Qin Guan was not polite, and demonstrated to the visiting Yingguo people, telling them how to eat.
This is the first time Aldrin ate roast duck. When he rolled these weird things and stuffed them in his mouth, he chewed twice and gave a thumbs up: "OK, OK!"
Han is the most famous food culture in the world. The various snacks here are full of praise. Now, Aldrin feels that any duck meat that has been eaten before cannot be compared with it. It is oily but not greasy, crispy but not cracked, and the taste of the special sauce is endless.
Bill on the side ate carelessly. He watched Aldrin’s food, and finally couldn’t help it. Holding the wine glass, he said to Qin Guan,
Mr. Qin, our friendship with Han has grown more and more in recent years. Deep, now, I can’t bear to watch Han Guo step by step towards a bottomless abyss, don’t we have much room to turn around?"
They came this time to prevent the Han nationals from their space program. The Han nationals are also building a space station, so how can it work? Outer space, that belongs to the bear country and the eagle country, can't let outsiders intervene in it.
Qin Guan was in a good mood while eating roast duck, and said, "It is impossible to say that the project is discontinued. Now the superior is stimulated by your president’s speech. He has made up his mind. However, if you delay for a few years, there are still ways to do it. of."
"What way?" Bill asked.
"Restore our status as a founding member of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and give us general most-favored-nation treatment." Qin Guan said: "In this case, people in our domestic economic circles will be mobilized and jointly proposed. Continue to develop the economy one by one, which will allow the upper level to think about the current policy and continue to tilt towards the economic direction. Apart from anything else, at least the manned space and space station plan should be delayed by five to ten years.
Qin Guan’s words shocked the other party. He thought that Qin Guan was asking for funds, technology, and equipment. He even made a fuss about Eagle Nation not helping them train astronauts. But now, Qin Guan has proposed it. A sharp question.
Some people may not know this GATT now, but if it is the World Trade Organization, it must be known to everyone.
In those days, Han Guo worked hard to join the World Trade Organization for several years, convincing each country one by one.
And this GATT can be regarded as the predecessor of the World Trade Organization. Now, Qin Guan is making another major layout, that is, entering this organization in advance!
In this way, the trade exchanges between Han and the world can be greatly improved, so that more Han manufacturing can occupy the world, and the economy of Han can take off.
These peaceful environmental opportunities in the 1980s are too rare. Now, as long as there is an opportunity, you have to find ways to benefit. Anyway, manned spaceflight was not intended to be launched immediately. It was just a pre-research plan. It does not matter if this project is delayed for several years. Economic development is the first priority, and to develop the economy, you must join this organization!
