Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1319

Xie Kai looked at the old driver’s uncle and smiled even more. It turned out that the Soviets couldn’t bear it.

He opened his mouth and said, “It’s really time to talk about business. In terms of friendship, there is a lot of time to deepen. First of all, I think the price of the RD-33 engine is the main point of difference between our cooperation…”

The two sides have a big dispute about the price of the engine.

After the Soviet Union refused to provide engines to China, China has been communicating and negotiating with the Soviet Union. Later, the Soviet Union quoted a price of US$3 million per unit, which China simply could not afford.

When the price was quoted, the Soviets were either to blackmail China, which was unable to produce turbofan engines, or they used high prices to make China abandon the introduction.

For the Super-7A, which sells for only US million per fighter, US million per engine is almost unacceptable.

With the improvement of the performance of avionics systems and the increase of other radar systems, the manufacturing cost of the Super-7A fighter has reached nearly 7 million U.S. dollars.

If the engine is really at the price of 3 million US dollars per unit proposed by the Soviets, even if a cooperation is reached, China will only work for the Soviets and there is almost no profit.

For such things, Xie Kai will naturally not do it.

Oleg looked at other people in the Chinese side and did not speak. A young man appeared and looked at Xie Kai unhappily. “The price of the engine has been quoted before. Each unit is 3 million U.S. dollars. For this price, it is already It’s very cheap.”

Xie Kai rolled his eyes directly and wanted to punch the highest person in charge of the Military Industrial Committee.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t do it. This old guy is definitely not a good person, especially he has always been reluctant to cooperate with China, and even banned the export of engines for 404, all of which he contributed to.

Xie Kai said: “Mr. Chairman, at this price, if you are willing to make an AL-31 engine, I think we can easily reach a cooperation. Of course, for a medium thrust engine such as the RD-33, you must have to charge 3 million US dollars. The cooperation between the two parties cannot proceed. This is not sincere.”

As Xie Kai said, it is really AL-31. Although the price of 3 million US dollars will be much higher this year, the engine is indeed worth so much money.

Hearing Xie Kai said that the cooperation could not continue, Alexei Federov became anxious.

If you can’t really talk about it, then there is nothing to do with the Mikoyan system. All other cooperation is based on engine cooperation.

For the Mikoyan system, the engine is the biggest source of profit!

Although Alexei is only the head of the MiG fighter manufacturing plant, he now represents the entire Mikoyan!

This is not the first time that the MiG-29 has exhibited at the Paris Air Show, and the Mikoyan executives have hardly come.

Unlike the Su-27’s first appearance at the Paris Air Show, many people came from the top, except for the chief engineer and chief designer Simonov.

Alexei hurriedly said, “Thanks, the RD-33 engine has excellent performance. With inflation, the price will definitely not be settled according to the original price. Of course, the price can be negotiated, and even the engine has not been negotiated. Other cooperation Let’s talk too much.”

Alexei’s words showed their eagerness.

Oleg gave him a stern look, and even Misavichowski felt that this guy was too eager and looked at him gloomily.

Isn’t this telling the Chinese that they are eager to cooperate?

Now that the words have reached this point, Misavichvsky, as the Minister of Aviation, will not be twitchy.

Looking at the Chinese personnel, he said: “Since you think the price is high, how much do you think is appropriate? It is absolutely impossible based on the previous US$1.15 million. When these engines were provided at the beginning, it was to maintain the friendship between the two parties and express our sincerity.”

Xie Kai curled his lips. It is obvious that your own operating rate is insufficient and you need orders to feed the huge factory.

There was no nonsense, and a price was quoted directly: “1.3 million.”

Wang Chengfeng originally planned to learn how to negotiate with foreigners from Xie Kai.

The equipment sold by 404 is expensive, but the cost of the things it buys is very cheap.

As the person in charge of AVIC, he is in urgent need of such ability.

In the process of introducing international aviation technology, Chinese teams with poor technical foundations have always been blackmailed by foreign countries at high prices.

In many cases, there is even no way to negotiate, and foreign quotations are not allowed to negotiate at all. Either accept the other party’s high price or give up cooperation.

But Wang Chengfeng did not expect that Xie Kai’s negotiations with the Soviets were like bargaining at a vegetable market.

What didn’t make him want to understand was that the Soviets did the same.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

He didn’t make any introduction about the technical performance and their domestic policies, and he just bargained directly. The new price quoted from the Minister of Aviation Industry of the Soviet Union shocked him.

“$2.7 million!”

Oleg looked at Xie Kai, “How many engines do you need? The quantity is also related to the price.”

Naturally, Xie Kai knows that quantity has a lot to do with price, and he calmly said, “Mr. Chairman, we need a lot of quantity. The specific quantity depends on whether the price is sincere. If the price is really insincere, we don’t need one! ”

Xie Kai’s answer made Oleg almost runaway!

The Soviet Union is not sincere yet?

Those who took the initiative to invite the Chinese delegation to negotiate with them did not expect that several Chinese leaders would not say anything, and let a young man harass them.

Savagevsky saw that Oleg was about to get angry, and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and said to Xie Kai: “Thank you, this price is already very sincere. Now all kinds of prices are not available. Stop rising, the dollar is also depreciating…”

Bai Yanjun and Ge Minglang sat there, listening to Xie Kai negotiating with the Soviets without interrupting, as if the negotiations had nothing to do with them.

Wang Chengfeng, Zhao Zheng and others were the people who looked at 404 weirdly, and didn’t understand what they were doing.

Negotiations like buying vegetables in a vegetable market, you come and I bargain.

This is something that Wang Chengfeng and the others have never encountered in international negotiations before.

Xie Kai looked at Misavicowski with a look of contempt, “Uncle Sky, you and my father are classmates, do we need to have a friendship between us? There is no way to bargain at this price.”

At the beginning, the Soviets had a substantial profit for a unit of US$1.15 million.

For the same type of engine in the international market, the price is only 1.5 million to 2 million US dollars. The direct price of the Soviets has doubled than the internationally cheaper price.

I really don’t see any sincerity in cooperation.

There is no way to talk about this situation.

Alexei saw that the price gap between the two sides was too great, and if he continued, he had to talk about it.

He didn’t want to see such a situation happen, and said to Xie Kai, “Thank you, what we now provide is the latest engine from the Klimov Design Bureau, upgraded from the RD-33, and has both thrust and fuel consumption. A big improvement…”

When Xie Kai heard this, he interrupted him and asked playfully, “RD-93?”

Before the Soviets could answer, Xie Kai said angrily: “Gentlemen! Please don’t treat us as idiots. Everyone knows what is going on with the RD-93 engine. It is completely the RD-33 engine. There are no performance parameters. Any difference, the intermediate thrust is 50KN, and the maximum afterburner thrust is still 81.4KN!”

Xie Kai’s words shocked the Soviets.

The Chinese people actually know the parameters of the RD-93 engine.

This is the plan they came up with before, in order to make the Chinese feel that they are justified in raising prices.

Who revealed it to the Chinese?

Oleg looked at Misavsky with an angry face.

Misavichowski also looked gloomy. Where did Xie Kai know the parameters?

Didn’t you let him back the pot?

The Soviets did not expect that Xie Kai knew more than just the performance parameters of the RD-93 engine.

Xie Kai continued: “The so-called RD-93 engine is just a change of the upper accessory casing of the RD-33 engine to the lower part of the engine. The entire engine structure has not been modified much. Regardless of the thrust or fuel consumption, there is no change. If it is. It’s RD-93, there is really no need to discuss…”

Zhao Zheng looked surprised, and finally knew that Xie Kai was amazing.

He whispered to Bai Yanjun next to him, “How did this kid know the performance parameters and results of the latest Soviet engine? Your intelligence system got it?”

Knowing the performance parameters and knowing the structure makes it easier to negotiate.

Bai Yanjun directly shook his head and said with a wry smile, “We don’t know how to get many of this kid’s things. But it may be his own channel.”

Only think so.

Xie Kai has been in the Soviet Union for many years.

Even Xie Kai herself was shocked after seeing the expressions of the Soviets.

He really didn’t expect that the Soviet Union had now developed the RD-93 engine.

Isn’t this engine specially made by the Russian Klimov company for the design of the Xiaolong fighter?

The RD-93 engine is only used by Xiaolong fighters in the world, and there is also no fighter in the Soviet Union that uses this engine.

The Super-7 project has come out, and Xiaolong is definitely impossible to appear.

And the Soviets actually did it…

For the entire engine, only the upper accessory receiver is changed to the lower part of the engine. In order to adapt to the change in the position of the accessory receiver, the position of the driven bevel gear in the transmission has changed, and the performance is not improved.

Seeing Oleg staring at him suspiciously, Mishavski shook his head with a wry smile, and told the Chairman of the Military Industrial Committee with his eyes that he had never contacted Xie Kai.

As the chairman of the Ministry of Aviation Industry of the Soviet Union, it is impossible for him to betray the national interests of the Soviet Union, let alone tell the Chinese about the RD-93 engine.

This was originally designed to blackmail the Chinese people’s money.

He couldn’t explain it at all right now.

I knew I shouldn’t have said that Xie Kai’s father was a classmate in order to ease the embarrassment.

“Thanks, if you really want to reach a cooperation, you are really sincere, and the price of the engine must be.”

Ogg didn’t talk nonsense, and told Xie Kai directly: “It must be based on the number of you, no matter how much, less than 2.5 million US dollars, there is really no need to talk about it.”

Xie Kai looked at the arrogant old guy and despised them more and more.

The poor in the Soviet Union can’t even afford to eat, and they are still swollen here to fill up the fat.
