Chapter 355: Conquering the City
It is important to know that this 28% cost reduction rate is not only a single component such as control equipment, but a complete set of systems including drones.
And the target is still the discovery of H company-2, which is not a high-end product, if you compare it with the high-end bullet A, Zeus-3 is only 60% of the cost of bullet A at most.
The reason for this is very simple, most of the supporting suppliers of Company H are domestic enterprises in the United States, and most of them are military enterprises, no matter how good or bad their products are, the price is amazing, even the most ordinary power connectors, will be sold at a sky-high price, the reason is that you have nothing to say, because they are leaders in this field.
Since he is a leader, he naturally has to have a leader's price, otherwise how can he be worthy of such a bull~~~ gimmick.
After all, in addition to the aircraft, the core of the drone is the operation control system, because this thing is the same as the kite line, how far the kite can be put and how high it can fly, not the problem of the kite itself, but whether the kite line that operates it is strong and long enough.
Therefore, even if Company H used the flight control, control and communication transmission system built by the theoretical framework provided by the Tengfei Factory, it did not take the Tengfei Factory into account.
Because there are a lot of spare parts and key equipment in China can not be produced at all, of course, Tengfei factory can import these spare parts and key equipment, the problem is that H company is not wood, Tengfei factory imports they naturally have to intervene, coupled with the binding of intellectual property rights, it can be said that Tengfei factory is dead.
However, all this is not tied to the vest of Action Aero Systems, because except for the US$600,000 that Ascendas passed through Port City, turned to the Ministry's branch in Singapore, and then passed through CITIC's offshore company in the Cayman Islands.
That is an authentic German company, exuding the majestic atmosphere of the Germanic people from the inside out, coupled with the H company's focus on how to deal with the Tengfei factory, how to cooperate with the Indonesian national aviation manufacturing group, the purebred German descent of the actor aviation systems company is like entering a big supermarket, in the huge industrial chain of the West to choose their own suitable parts and equipment.
After all, in addition to those American leaders, there are many followers who are not, otherwise who will go to those corporate leaders in the United States?
So Canon's optical accessories, Toshiba's integrated circuits, Dassault's software outsourcing, Thomson's radar, Ericsson's information transmission, and even Samsung's capacitive resistors......
All of them were taken over by Action Aerosystems, and then relied on the alternative integration research of American products commissioned by Ascendas Factory over the years to do aeronautical computer research, and it was easy to perfectly integrate these irrelevant parts together, which gave Zeus-3 a different soul.
So shop around, buy things, naturally more cost-effective, this is still in order to compete for European high-end UAVs, save time and the result of hasty selection, if there is enough time, Evans and Owen slowly talk one by one, the price will be lower, after all, the control and communication system of the UAV is not a high-end thing, the core is still in the architecture and integration, so the same component in the huge industrial chain in the West is simply not too much, the price can be easily cut.
So after reluctantly saying a few words about the engine, Evans drank all the coffee in the cup, and then wiped his mouth with a paper towel before saying seriously: "In this case, we will ignore the engine for now, this is something that Zhuang has to consider, what we need to do now is two points, the first is to press the supplier's price by 8 to 10 points, and the second is to try to win the orders from the Federal Republic of Germany and France." ”
Owen nodded: "That's right, as long as the orders from France and Germany are taken, low countries such as the Netherlands, Denmark, and Belgium will not wait and see, and even Nordic countries such as Sweden and Finland will choose our products." ”
"That's true, so I think let's go our separate ways, you know the technology, and you can talk to Valencier who Zhuang sent over, or you go and get in touch with the suppliers, and I'll continue to do my old job, going to Germany and France to sell Zeus-3. ”
"No problem, that's it. Owen took a sip of coffee and agreed, then drank the rest of the sip, picked up a tissue and was about to wipe his mouth away, when he suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "By the way, remember to bring that article "Floating Objects on Eight Thousand Meters", it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Evans laughed when he heard this, and patted the briefcase next to him: "Always ready!"
......
The excitement of the two was very fast, especially Evans, who went to Bonn, the capital of Germany, that night, and met with the West German officials in charge of procurement the next day.
Just three days later, West Germany announced that it would purchase 12 sets of nuclear protection drone systems for Chernobyl nuclear contamination in accordance with the European Community's latest nuclear protection drone standards, with a total value of $70 million.
Then a list of bidding companies was announced, and Company H and several well-known leather bag companies were listed, and if it were not for the last actor Aviation Systems, it would be a replica of the original sweep of H Company across Europe.
But because of this, West Germany's move immediately caused a shock in European countries, especially those Nordic countries that were still waiting and watching, and immediately contacted the actor company after the West German procurement announcement, and soon their bidding list invariably appeared with the name of the actor aviation system.
At the same time, major European newspapers, radio stations, television and even movie theaters have reported and publicized Martin's article "Floating Objects on 8,000 Meters," a veteran Washington Post correspondent, and the praise for the article has reached the point of madness.
As for the author Martin, he has been praised by major European media as the conscience of all mankind, comparable to Dante, Hugo, and Dickens.
Of course, while praising the article and the author, the European media will also inadvertently express that the Europeans have lived up to Martin's expectations in the article and developed a drone that can carry out nuclear protection at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters.
The American aviation giants on the other side of the ocean learned that the Europeans were about to take "Eight Thousand Meters of Floating Objects" and the author Martin into outer space, and a mouthful of old blood almost sprayed into outer space, but there was nothing they could do but watch the Operator Company conquer cities in Europe.
