Chapter 578: Kevlar—Kevlar Material

Hans did not expect that he would bring a large number of German engineers to maintain the S-70 helicopter in China, and he would not pass the first hurdle of the quality audit of raw materials and spare parts.

It is true that the German Leipzig Company has specified a huge amount of liquidated damages in the contract with the Chinese side, but it is only to restrain the Chinese side from making small moves and cannot perform the contract normally, so Yodel and others set the liquidated damages at a particularly high level when formulating the contract.

Out of the so-called principle of reciprocity, Yodel readily agreed to the Chinese side's demand for huge liquidated damages.

There was no objection to this and other senior executives of the Leipzig company, feeling that this was just a psychological comfort for the Chinese, and that they Germans were a well-known rigorous and connotative people who respected the spirit of contract, how could they breach the contract?

Of course, even if you take 10,000 steps back, Leipzig really wants to play some flower work, and it is strange that you can see it by the ignorant dead brains of the Chinese.

Coupled with Leipzig's self-belief that its technical level can crush China's people, and all kinds of spare parts and materials are enough to blind the eyes of Chinese, it is not to take the so-called breach clause finalized by China seriously.

The one with the signature is called a happy and neat.

As a result, just as they rolled up their arms and sleeves, ready to tear off a few pieces of meat on the fat sheep of China very unceremoniously, Gu Jingyou in the Chinese review panel unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water on his head.

Hans knows what to say, and to be honest, Hans has prepared for the worst for the so-called expert review team in China.

Although Hans is a German man, he still understands this truth very well, and has also made corresponding countermeasures, but Gu Jingyou is not just dismounting, but directly flipping the table as soon as he comes up, which makes Hans a little confused, he has not seen this posture in Germany and China for so long, what should I do?

Fortunately, Hans has also been rolling in the mall for many years, and he still has the basic adaptability, so he was stunned for a moment and then narrowed his eyes, looked at Gu Jingyou, who was looking at another material sample with a group of technical experts, raised the piece of paper in his hand, and asked: "Mr. Gu, how dare you conclude that we can't produce Nomex materials in Europe?"

"It's very simple, do you have aramid production plants in Europe? Maybe there are one or two, but which one is not controlled by DuPont in the United States? There seems to be one in the Netherlands that is not controlled by the United States, but it seems that it was crushed by DuPont a few years ago, and finally it seems to have been acquired by an American company called 3M. ”

Gu Jingyou didn't raise his head, but he picked up the current situation of European aramid fiber like the emperor's new clothes, and Hans was stunned and frightened when he heard it, and said how this guy knew the situation of European aramid fiber so well, but before he could react from surprise, he saw Gu Jingyou holding the composite version that looked like a sandwich biscuit in his hand, and knocked it with his knuckles, making a beeping sound:

"This board should be the so-called composite version jointly developed by the American company 3M and the Dutch company that they acquired, what is the name?"

Gu Jingyou said, knocked on his head with his other hand, and then had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly said: "I remember, it's called ARALL material, people who don't know it can really be stunned when they hear it, but in my opinion, it's taking off their pants and farting, two aluminum alloy plates and one aramid 1414 board, is it interesting?"

Oh, by the way, Kevlar 1414 is the internal name of our group's own products, and the American name should be Kevlar, and we will directly transliterate it as Kevlar......"

Hearing the word Kevlar, Hans's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at Gu Jingyou with incomprehensible surprise, but more of a helplessness when someone opened his hole cards.

However, Hans still forcibly pressed the uneasiness in his heart, and the dead duck said stiffly: "Yes, you are right, Mr. Gu, the middle layer is Kevlar material, combined with two aviation aluminum alloy plates, it can completely replace the material of the S-70 bottom plate layer, after all, the price of Nomex material is too expensive, we can't completely use this kind of staggering expensive thing, so part of it will be replaced by ARALL material." ”

It seems that this is not enough to explain the problem, Hans added later: "Many American-made helicopters in Europe are made of ARALL materials as the main material for maintenance, and good results have been achieved, and we have ...... in this regard."

"I don't care what you have, if the helicopter you're repairing can be safe and sound with reinforcing hoses, ropes or car tires, all I can say is that you're really good. Before Hans could finish speaking, Gu Jingyou interrupted lukewarmly.

Hans was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gu Jingyou with a frown: "Mr. Gu, what do you mean by this?"

Gu Jingyou looked at Hans strangely: "Don't you know this? Kevlar materials are divided into three types, the basic Kevlar is used for automobile tires, and the general industrial hose is reinforced; the high-grade Kevlar-29 is used for the reinforcement of ropes or cables and the protective film on the outside of communication cables; and only the last Kevlar-49 is a professional material used in the aviation industry. ”

After speaking, Gu Jingyou looked Hans up and down several times, and then raised his eyes to look at the so-called German aeronautical engineers behind Hans, who were as tall as Tie Hanhan, and asked in not too standard German: "You can't ...... You don't even know such a basic thing, do you?"

Now Hans is really confused, he only knows that the ARALL material jointly developed by 3M in the United States and the Dutch aerospace laboratory can replace aramid honeycomb materials, as for the specific material synthesized by him, he really doesn't know.

It's just that this material is much cheaper than the general aramid honeycomb material and Kevlar material, which is conducive to their Leipzig company to control costs, so they used it to apply.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jingyou just glanced at the ARALL material inside and out, what is the basic type, and what 29, 49, Hans and the others are completely ducks listening to thunder, and they don't know what is going on at all, Kevlar materials still have so many sayings? When buying ARALL materials, how can the Dutch aerospace laboratory make it clear?

"Also, as early as 1985, the aviation-grade Kevlar-49 was only $20 a kilogram, and you dared to ask for $200 per kilogram if you got two aluminum sheets and a low-end product that was not even enough for the Kevlar-29 grade. ”

Before the words fell, Gu Jingyou did not hesitate to turn his head and command the person next to him: "This ARALL material is shoddy, the quality is not up to standard, the German asking price is 20% higher than the normal market price, suspected of fraud, the two phases are superimposed, the liquidated damages can be fixedly punished, don't bother to forget the fraction, directly record 2.5 billion US dollars." ”

As soon as these words came out, Hans immediately stopped, and was just about to explain, so he looked at Gu Jingyou and looked at his brain: "By the way, the aramid paper Germans just now are also suspected of fraud, staple fiber, obviously a product of the Japanese Teijin Company, the usual civilian materials are okay, using them on the plane is tantamount to suicide, if you want to deceive people to take the authentic Nomex materials from the United States, you can make a small Japanese civilian grade to fool people, I don't know what these German irons think, the last one was transferred from 800 million to 3.5 billion US dollars, tsk~~." After only reading two materials, it soared to $6 billion......"

Hans couldn't hear the words anymore, firstly, Gu Jingyou had already gone away, and secondly, he really couldn't hold on, and he was about to fall down after shaking his body, but fortunately, the German engineer behind him supported him, but Hans didn't have time to care about himself, and said in a hoarse voice: "Quick, tell Mr. Jodle, tell Mr. Jodl about the situation here......"
