Yes, Liszt was really stressed to see Mary Johnson, because this beauty was not only his alumnus at Havard, but also had a relationship experience between the two that was not inhumane, and because of this, being hugged by Mary Johnson like this, Liszt's thoughts flew to the big bed in the hotel at once, and he almost forgot what he was doing here today.

"If the beautiful Madame Mary Johnson really marries our handsome and dashing Mr. Liszt, then I have nothing to say but to congratulate you on your final marriage, if not. ”

Liszt was thinking about what to do, a lazy voice came, and Livingst, the president of Phyllis Airlines, who was backed by McDonnell Douglas Company, came over with a smile, nodded politely at Mary Johnson, and then said to Liszt: "Let's come to our Phillips Airlines, I just lack a CEO here." ”

Before Livingst's words fell, the senior executives of the two airlines with Northrop and Grumman backgrounds also surrounded and greeted Liszt, and the tone was very polite, but everyone could see that the attitude of the two towards Liszt was not very enthusiastic.

There are a total of six bidding companies, five of which have the background of large aviation giants, and the H Airlines represented by Liszt are like the little white rabbit that has just come out of the hole, except for a bunch of pink and tender meat, it is estimated that there is nothing worth worrying about.

So after Liszt rejected the acquisition intentions of the three parties one by one, the five people got together and talked about the recent anecdotes in the United States as if they didn't see Liszt.

Even gave him a hug, Mary Johnson, who had a history of glamorous love, didn't look at him again, but chatted happily with the more gentlemanly Livingst.

Liszt was not angry at being snubbed, but he had seen too many such scenes in the past year, and there was no way, the American aviation industry has now shown a high degree of monopoly, and the newly established aviation manufacturing companies are either leather bag companies set up by aviation giants for various purposes, or they are bought by giants.

There are very few new companies like H Airlines that are not controlled by the aviation giants, let alone compete with them, and it is simply impossible not to be excluded.

Fortunately, Liszt had a strong psychological quality and was not hindered by these external forces, so he silently walked to the corner and sat down, took out the prepared documents, read them again, and then closed his eyes and waited for the start of the quotation hearing.

"Knock~~Knock~~Knock~~"

Ten minutes later, as the presiding officer of the hearing, Hovinsky, the head of logistics procurement at the US Department of Justice, sounded the drumstick of the deputies' silence, heralding the official start of the offer hearing.

Two members of Congress and a Justice Department official then made brief remarks, explaining the rules of the hearing, and then gave the floor to the moderator, Hovinsky, who glanced at the bidding companies across from him and asked, "Gentlemen and ladies, you can make an offer." ”

"Feynman's 'Albatross' 3 was quoted at $1.32 million. Norton continued to be aggressive, and Hovinsky revealed his price.

At the same time, Mary Johnson, Livingster and others who heard this offer had ugly faces, knowing that the civilian market price of Feynman's 'Albatross' 3 aircraft was basically maintained at about $1.5 million, and $1.32 million was obviously an attempt to use a low-price strategy to win government orders and crush competitors.

Apparently Norton's goal had been achieved, the Grumman-backed airline executive shook his head, apologized to Hovinsky, and left the venue with his staff with the papers.

Norton smiled as if he hadn't seen this scene and talked to the staff next to him, which gave people a sense of déjà vu in the eyes of others.

Hovinsky looked away from Norton and looked at the other bidders.

Mary Johnson immediately raised her hand: "Our Sky Company's W2 offer is $1.28 million. ”

The W2 aircraft is a new model developed by Sky Company, a small aircraft carrying 12 people, thanks to Lockheed's strong technical support, the aircraft is extremely versatile, very suitable for multi-purpose modification, just came out by the state emergency management departments and the National Guard, coast guard is optimistic.

So the W2 aircraft is also a big favorite in the bid of the Department of Justice, and the $1.28 million is also very conscientious, which makes the host Hovinsky nod with satisfaction.

Before he could turn his attention to other bidders, Mary Johnson added, "And we can guarantee that the maintenance cost will be limited to $15,000 per sortie." ”

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar at the hearing, and the maintenance cost of airplanes, especially manned planes, was incredibly high per hour, so there was a saying that one plane was bought and three were raised; $30,000 per flight was already considered a very powerful cost control, and the cost of each flight was controlled at $15,000, which was unimaginable.

Hovinsky didn't expect Mary Johnson to have this big move, and he was also stunned, and when he reacted, he hurriedly beat the drum in his hand, and the venue was immediately quiet.

Mary Johnson smiled brightly and turned her head to look at Norton, who was the first to speak, Norton smiled bitterly and raised his hand: "I'm sorry, our planes can't achieve such low maintenance costs, but we are willing to make concessions on the unit price, $1.2 million each, with free pilot training." ”

Before the words fell, Livingst also raised his hand: "The maintenance cost of our Phillips company is also not as low as that of Miss Mary Johnson, and we can only make concessions on the unit price, so our 'Little Falcon' R quotation is 1.16 million US dollars, and the cost of a single flight can be controlled at 20,000 US dollars." ”

As soon as these words came out, the bidder with a Northrop background who was still about to speak, after discussing with his staff, finally shrugged his shoulders helplessly, apologized to Hovinsky in disappointment, picked up his things and left dejectedly, obviously unable to compete with Mary Johnson, Norton, and Livingster in this regard.

The three of them glanced at each other and smiled tacitly, this time there will only be three companies left in the bidding bid, and the three of them discussed it before the hearing, and they will drive the other three out first at a low price.

Now that the two companies with the background of aviation giants have been squeezed out by them, their intentions seem to be about to be realized, but the next moment, the smiles of the three of them froze, because in the most marginal corner, Liszt, who should disappear the most, is still sitting there, seemingly chatting happily with the staff around him, and laughing very easily.

How is it possible? H Airlines also shows that the name of the company shows that they are an aircraft manufacturing company, in fact, they don't even have a factory, they are completely supported by the shareholders behind the company, and even the airlines with the support of aviation giants can't bear the low-price strategy of the three, and H Airlines can still hold on?

Hovinsky also seemed to have noticed that something was wrong, and immediately turned his eyes to Liszt, who also raised his hand very cooperatively, revealing a shocking price: "The unit price of our Discovery 1 aircraft is 680,000 US dollars, and the maintenance cost of a single flight is 3,000 US dollars!"
