After all, cooperation with the Li family is also a temptation that Duke cannot refuse at the moment.

Without the Li family joining, Duke and others would not have thought of entering the energy supply market in the mainland within at least a few years. No matter how advanced his reactor is, it would be impossible, at least it has nothing to do with this market.

Although Duke is confident of opening up the gap from third world countries and entering this promising market, there are more places in the world that are short of electricity, and there are always countries and regions that need cheap electricity, but this independent path is not necessarily easier than cooperating with the Li family, but may be much more difficult.

Because to open a gap in different countries, Duke and others must cooperate with more people to achieve success. For most countries in the third world, there are also different potentials in terms of infrastructure.

The way Duke could think of to open the gap was actually nothing more than using money to open up the way, and cooperating and sharing interests with influential local potential forces.

There is no other way to choose from.

This method requires more things to do than cooperate with the Li family, and the risks in each cooperation are actually not less than those in cooperation with the Li family. You can usually not rely entirely on laws and agreements to open up gaps with money. Without a tough backer, it is difficult to avoid black things.

Marx has long said that 100% profit will make people desperate for the law; while 300% profit will make people not afraid of crime or even the danger of being hung up. For the third world country with unpredictable political situation, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is for Duke to seize food from a tiger's mouth.

Relatively speaking, even if the Li family wants to do something, they will not use the ugly and naked fruit method, but will mainly use some commercial operation methods to achieve their own goals.

Since the Li family is still willing to play together within the rules, things can be predictive. If you can't play with others within the rules, you can only blame yourself for being stupid or blame yourself for being miserable. The worst of the weak is no exception in the business world. Isn't SAL able to reach this day by walking on many well-known companies?

In terms of competition within the rules, Duke is becoming more and more confident about Cai Siqiang. In recent years, the Rockets' development and huge scale have expanded rapidly, not only did not destroy SAL's management, but Cai Siqiang lost control of many powerful subsidiaries. Instead, through a series of acquisitions, it has improved the mix and use of senior management personnel in China and abroad, ensuring the rapid and stable completion of the internationalization process of the company.

The unique shareholder structure and full authorization allow Cai Siqiang to let go and use generous executive treatment and incentives to attract high-end talents. Whether it is Sirius or New Nokia, these companies dominated by foreigners are closely controlled through a centralized management system.

Establishing a global management system is simply not worthy of a computer genius like Duke. After he solved the architecture and key technologies, Zhao Jianwu's huge R&D resources quickly completed the construction of this system, allowing the flow of people, money and materials of SAL's subsidiaries to be perfectly displayed under Cai Siqiang's eyes.

In addition, Duke is also lurking in the hands of more than 20 billion US dollars in secret reserve funds in the hands of investment companies in dozens of different countries. It can be said that in terms of management and funding, SAL will not leave many flaws that can be attacked.

"Mr. Liu, for me, I have never thought about these things. We just want to do things according to the rules and make money cleanly." After thinking through these, Duke also woke up from the initial shock and confusion. But why did Mr. Liu suddenly teach himself such a lesson?

"Are you a little surprised why I would tell you this today?" Mr. Liu seemed to see through Duke's inner thoughts.

Duke didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly. His acting skills were far more than those of Cai Siqiang than the distance between the Oscar actor and the Golden Rooster actor. What's more, facing the old man in front of him who seemed to have insight into everything.

"Two reasons," Mr. Liu stretched out his two fingers, "First, the military has now used your technical breakthroughs in many aspects; second, at some point, I also need to borrow your economic influence to watch." He was not polite at all, but this was still too simple, and Duke was waiting for his further explanation.

"There is no need to explain the technical matters in detail. New materials, machine tools, computers, and now nuclear energy. These technologies are all our shortcomings that restrict the emergence of new weapons and equipment. I can tell you a product change and you will understand how important it is to us. After applying the new materials from Xincheng Special Steel and Hillington, the quality and performance of the aircraft engine samples we produce have increased by at least 30%.

Mr. Liu said this, and he was obviously a little excited, and even his voice increased a few degrees. "Duke, do you know that this thing has restricted the development of our War Eagle for decades, and now he has finally seen hope of a complete solution. If this new prototype passes a longer period of testing, we will be able to produce it in a fixed manner. Speaking of which, you still need to continue to cooperate and come up with more and better materials."

Duke doesn't know much about this information. He is not a military fan. Naturally, he doesn't know that among the mainstream fighter jets in China, since the quality and performance of aircraft engines cannot meet the needs, they have always relied on imports. Basically, the number of fighter jets and core performance parameters can be derived and limited through this engine.

This kind of feeling of being controlled by others is really bad for Mr. Liu, who has always been in charge of the equipment industry, otherwise he would not be so excited to talk about these things. However, for new materials, even if Mr. Liu doesn't mention them, Duke will continue to invest in research and development. His lotus pile will be promoted to a greater power, and the material performance required is not bad at all compared to these military industries.

"The second aspect is economic reasons. Due to the special military system and inconvenient participation in economic matters, many military-industrial enterprises have been transformed and assigned to local governments, and their incompetent children are really lacking in this aspect. Therefore, in terms of economy, they have always lacked influential and substantial economic power to support their propositions, which makes it difficult to speak in some matters involving investment.

For example, although I have been calling for investment in new materials research for many years, there has never been a large-scale group willing to invest heavily, which is vain. We have never been able to produce many key materials in the military industry, which directly leads to the inability to break through some of our key equipment.

So I need someone to support it. Of course, it is not that all of them are invested by one. But after having advanced investment and certain results, it can be convenient to obtain national policy support and expand the production and research of these results. For example, once your machine tool industry breaks through the technical barriers, I will ask for policies and merge enterprises with certain production capacity and relevant technical foundations into Shenda Machine Tool to form large-scale production as soon as possible."
