Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 418

“The contract is signed, half of the advance payment is paid, and the remaining funds are paid in succession when delivered.” The Soviets were also cruel, “If you can’t accept such prices and conditions, cooperation will be difficult to achieve.”

“No, the price is too high!” Xie Kai is still not satisfied with this price.

Even after more than a decade of inflation, the price of an RD-93 engine is only around US$2.4 million.

That was the price in 2005.

How much can one dollar buy now? And when we enter the 21st century, how much can one dollar buy?

Two hundred units, that is 300 million US dollars.

Xie Jianguo and others have been completely frightened by Xie Kai.

“Xie Kai, please pay attention to the occasion. This is not a place for joking.” Xie Jianguo reminded Xie Kai, “If a contract is signed and the contract terms cannot be fulfilled, then diplomatic disputes will be caused.

200 engines, if it were a single-engine light fighter, it would be two hundred.

And for a double-engined medium-sized fighter, this would have to produce one hundred.

Pakistan can use so much?

Or, does Xie Kai really expect to export to domestic sales like the 359 tank?

If you want the Air Force to spend a small amount of money to purchase such a fighter, unless the performance is as good as the 359 tank, the Air Force cannot refuse it.

No one can guarantee this.

Of course, Xie Jianguo is not very familiar with the Super Seven Project fighter project.

“According to their price, we need 300 million US dollars of foreign exchange. Where can we get 300 million US dollars of foreign exchange?” Xie Jianguo reminded Xie Kai quietly.

Faced with such a situation, other people couldn’t put forward any opinions.

The whole team is almost a foil for the Xie family and his son.

“Up to an additional US$50,000 per unit. 200 units also require US$210 million. China’s foreign exchange reserves are only three to four billion US dollars! Even with this amount, we don’t know how much it will cost to get our superiors to agree. , Let the state approve…” Xie Kai began to complain, “If you agree to this price, we can accept other conditions. Funds will definitely be paid in strict accordance with the contract.”

“Why do you buy so many engines? Are they rusty in the warehouse?” Xie Jianguo asked Xie Kai a little angrily.

He didn’t consider the influence or anything.

Cub selling Ye Tian doesn’t feel distressed.

Xie Kai doesn’t treat national interests as the same thing at all.

Hundreds of millions of dollars. If the design fails, Pakistanis are unwilling to join in. Then, these engines will only become a pile of scrap iron.

The Air Force needs advanced fighter jets, but the engine is like this, which determines that the performance of fighter jets cannot be improved too much.

No matter what they say, the Soviets have no concessions on prices.

Finally, it was very late to see the time. Negotiations started at noon. It was already late outside. There was still a price gap of 420,000 between the two sides.

200 units, that is a gap of 84 million US dollars.

Xie Kai only increased the price by US$1.08 million per unit, and the Soviets paid more than US$1.5 million.

Almost, this is their true reserve price.

In desperation, the two sides can only suspend negotiations.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

There was no tension in the negotiation, and neither side even mentioned the negotiation anymore. Xie Jianguo and Kaletovsky took their respective men to the restaurant of the hotel.

What Xie Kai didn’t expect was that the hotel actually provided drinks!

Yes, drinks are provided!

However, I thought about it later that Iraq under the rule of Silly Damu is arguably the most enlightened. Women can participate in work, and it is not a religious country. Naturally, there is no strict prohibition on drinking like Saudi Arabia and Persia.

Xie Kai can’t stand it a bit. After the two old men drank too much, they actually began to recall their youth and youth. Xie Kai also heard how many old fathers were popular with Soviet beauties when they were studying in the Soviet Union…

“Dad, drink some strong tea to hangover.” With the help of the hotel waiter, Xie Kai finally helped him back to the room, asked the waiter to make some tea, and made a cup of strong tea for him. , I want to hangover him.

Xie Jianguo suddenly woke up from a drunken state.

“Do you know what you did today? If you sign a contract and fail to fulfill the contract, what impact will it have? You will become a sinner of the country and the nation!” Xie Jianguo’s face was serious, and there was still a half-drunk appearance. ?

Before fighting with the Soviets, Xie Jianguo was brave and invincible, and in the end he was even more unconscious…

It now appears that he is not drunk at all.

Installed!

The old guy actually did a great show.

Xie Kai feels that he understands that when he was in the Soviet Union, that was the way it was supposed to be, so that so many Soviet girls fell in love with it.

“Dad, it’s okay. Isn’t it just over 200 million foreign exchange!” Xie Kai said easily, “Don’t worry about this, I will solve it. As long as the agreement is signed, everything is not a problem.”

“Isn’t it more than two hundred million?” Xie Jianguo didn’t get angry, raised his hand and was about to beat Xie Kai. In the end, he staggered and sat on the bed feebly. After drinking so much alcohol, there was no reaction at all. normal. “Speaking clearly, do you think the base prints money? Where did you come from the hundreds of millions of foreign exchange? And it’s still US dollars! How big is the base’s funding gap demand, you don’t have points?”

Xie Jianguo’s anger came out.

“Dad, Iraq has more than two billion U.S. dollars in military purchases!” Xie Kai had already been attacking the idea of ​​the Iraqi money.

“There is no word in the horoscope! Even if it is signed, the money must be settled by the National Bank. We have no foreign exchange!” Xie Jianguo looked at Xie Kai coldly, “The other party is the Soviet Union, not a small country.”

“Don’t worry, Dad, it’s really fine. As long as the Soviets buy it, we will buy it and store it. As long as the engine is available, the design is completed there, and the prototype can be trial-produced directly. When the time comes, we will test and improve. , The speed of research and development will be much faster…” Xie Kai could not say that he got so many engines from the Soviets, because he was worried that the Soviets would get stuck in the supply of engines.

Especially after knowing that fighter jets are only used for export, in order to grab profits, the price of the engine will never be cheap.

“Two hundred engines, even if you need so many to produce prototypes and prototypes? Are they left in the warehouse to rust? It will also affect the service life.” Xie Jianguo does not think Xie Kai’s explanation is reasonable. of. “First purchase a few units, use them, and wait until the development is successful in the future, and then order from them. There is no need to occupy precious foreign exchange, and it will not cause too much pressure on funds.”

“After the research and development is successful, if the Soviets threaten us with this and propose to increase prices or add additional conditions, what should we do? Or, the domestic engine can break through in five years and give us something to replace?” Xie Kai is also on fire. .

Why can’t my father figure this out?

The engine is afraid of the Soviets getting stuck.

At the beginning, the turbofan-15 had not been fully tested, and the turbofan-10 engine was not completely stable, but the prototype of the J-20 could not wait. The replacement of the J-10 had to be carried out. In desperation, we had to start from the old age. Maozi bought the engine in his hand.

As a result, knowing that domestically produced engines and J-20 fighters were about to succeed, Lao Maozi sold a batch of junk Su-35 fighters that the Chinese Air Force had never wanted!

Mao Zi even brags that the Su-35 fighter is better than the J-20, and it is cheaper and more in line with China…

Xie Kai doesn’t want to encounter such a situation, so knowing that the funds remain in the base account, even if they are used for other investments, the income will be much larger than the price increase of the engine.

He does not want to be constrained.

The domestic power system is now unsatisfactory, and the aviation industry cannot solve the heart disease. If he wants to engage in fighters, he has to guard against it.

Internationally, such cooperation is easily affected.

“Isn’t the base cooperating with Rongfei Power and preparing to invest in engines?” Xie Jianguo couldn’t refute, and finally said weakly.

“Far can’t quench near thirst.” Xie Kai shook his head and said. “Dad, there is no other way. Only with the engine in hand can we study with confidence. Two hundred units, with Rongfei’s production capacity, cannot be digested in a short time. And when Pakistan saw these engines , Will be relieved to invest.”

“Will the base agree?”

“They will agree, and they have to agree. If there is a way, who is willing to do such a thing? More than 200 million U.S. dollars, the soft sister currency is 6,000 or 700 million, even if it is deposited in the bank, there is more than 10% interest in a year ! How much do you have to do to spend on the base?” Xie Kai was helpless.

The domestic aero-engine heart disease cannot be solved, and the power system is not up to date. Xie Kai is also helpless.

In his time, the engine had just been solved.

The technological gap of decades cannot be solved in a short time.

“Dad, what position is Kaletovsky?” Xie Kai changed the subject. He didn’t know how to connect with the Soviet Union.

Unexpectedly, the person of the other party was actually known by the old man.

In the Soviet Union, the status is not low.

“Deputy Minister of Aviation Industry of the Soviet Union. Are you going to start from him?” Xie Jianguo looked at Xie Kai, “There were a lot of contradictions between him and me.”

“Didn’t the woman still marry him in the end?” Xie Kai didn’t care, and then looked gossip, “Dad, did something happen between you and his wife?”

Xie Kai’s words made Xie Jianguo jump up, but Xie Kai’s slap was thrown away.

“No one is old or young, how could I raise you such a thing!” Xie Jianguo was very upset about her son’s disrespect for Laozi. “If something really happens, do you think negotiation can be so easy?”

“Easy?” Xie Kai didn’t find it easy to negotiate. “These bastards offered three million U.S. dollars at the beginning, cut the price by half, and won’t cut the price anymore.”

“Kaletovsky is greedy for money.” Xie Jianguo gave Xie Kai a message, “But we didn’t have a budget, so we only brought tens of thousands of dollars with us.”
