Chapter 1086: Rubbing the Group
After complaining, McDonald Jr. asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Chen Geng didn't say anything polite to him, and said directly: "Who has the final say on this order?"
"A lot of people," McDonald Jr. did not tell Chen Geng: "The people of the Egyptian Ministry of Defense, the Air Force, and even the people around Mubarak...... Too many people have influence on this, man, you see, this is a big business of hundreds of millions of dollars, and the revenue from after-sales and the sale of ammunition for more than a decade is even more than that, and everyone takes this deal very seriously. ”
Knowing that Chen Geng is playing international arms sales for the first time, McDonald Jr. said bluntly, the so-called everyone attaches great importance to it, in fact, to put it bluntly, "everyone is jealous of this business, in order to win this order, all the companies that are interested in this business and even the political forces behind them will do everything in order to win the order, and what does it mean, you should understand, right?" - although these are all common sense, but Little MacDonald is really worried that Chen Geng does not understand.
Chen Geng actually knows, but knowing and practicing are two different things, since little MacDonald is a lotus root with a good heart, he naturally will not refute the kindness of others, he nodded and said: "I understand, the actual competition is very fierce, right?"
"It's not just fierce," McDonald Jr. smiled bitterly: "Every arms sale, you can see it as a war." ”
A war?
Tut......
But in fact, there is nothing incomprehensible, how profitable is the sale of arms, especially this kind of transnational arms sales, arms sales and subsequent follow-up spare parts supply, weapons and ammunition supply, which is profitable enough to feed a heavy-duty enterprise, who can look at such a big profit?
MacDonald Jr. knows this very well.
"War?" Chen Geng nodded: "Then we will prepare according to the way we deal with war." ”
........................
Leaving aside Chen Geng and McDonald Jr., let's go back to Huaxia.
In order to show Tua's Yak-130, COMAC first had to apply to the relevant departments: "Leader, we are ready to sell our Yak-130 to Tua, you can help us go through this procedure." ”
Of course, the leaders will not deliberately stop it: this is a good thing for the country's exports to earn foreign exchange, and the Yak-130 project is not a national project, at the beginning of the project, COMAC was promised to allow COMAC to find its own market.
But the problem is that the leader will not be stuck, and while you go through the procedure, it will naturally not give you confidentiality: I really didn't expect that the Yak-130 of COMAC Group has now found a buyer, and it is still the Tuai who bought our J-6 and J-7 at the beginning...... Why do you say that Shen Fei and Cheng Fei are so uncompetitive, they were able to sell the J-6 and J-7 to Tu'ai back then, and now sell your new aircraft to Tu'ai to earn foreign exchange and win glory for the country.
Cheng Fei and Shen Fei knew about it, but they didn't know it.
No way, as we said earlier, Cheng Fei is quietly engaged in the No. 10 project at the same time, is constantly digging deep into the potential of the J-7, eager to use all 26 English letters to change, the J-7 from J-7A to J-7Z, if possible, again, from J-7AA to J-7ZZ can also be considered......
As for Shen Fei, they are also very busy, and while they are busy with various modifications of the J-8, they also have to prepare the domestic Su-27......
The big guys are so busy in their hands, and what they want is a third-generation fighter jet, and they really don't have it in their own hands, so Shen Fei and Cheng Fei naturally pretended not to see the leader's words.
But Shen Fei and Cheng Fei, the two wealthy bosses, don't care, some people do, such as Hongdu Factory, after hearing the news, they began to ponder, in this case, can we also take a free ride ?—— grab things directly from Chen Geng's hands, they are not so bold.
For this matter, Hongdu Factory specially sent an acquaintance to talk to Wang Dazhi about this matter, Wang Dazhi was a little curious at first, Zhang Tong is now the executive deputy director of Hongdu Factory, this can be regarded as nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, right? Hearing Zhang Tong say that their Hongdu Factory is fighting the military procurement business of Tu'e, he immediately felt a little funny......
"Lao Zhang, I know that your K8 has been completed, and it is said that it is very good, but the problem is that what people want is a fighter jet. ”
An entry-level fighter, isn't that a fighter?
As for the training planes needed to train fighter pilots, please! Our fighters were originally entry-level trainers developed on the basis of advanced jet trainers, so can't we provide training planes to the Tue side? Or do you Hongdu Factory think that we will give you such a precious opportunity?
"I know, I know," Zhang Tong nodded again and again, at this time, he didn't dare to sell Guanzi, what if Wang Dazhi felt that Hongdu Factory wanted to pry their corner?
Well?
Is it still possible to do this?
Wang Dazhi felt that the brain circuit of Hongdu Factory was simply strange.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he can understand why Hongdu Plant did this: K8 is not a state-funded project, and the start-up funds for this project and most of the subsequent R&D funds are still provided by minibuses.
However, the overseas market is not so easy to develop, but in addition to the difficulty of developing the overseas market, Hongdu Factory is also facing another problem: it is difficult to go abroad.
We all know the reason for this, without a clear goal, you say that you want to go abroad to sell your products? The relevant supervisor is about to ask: "What? You said you want to go out to sell your products? Okay, how many do you think you can sell?"
But who dares to guarantee that you will be able to find customers when you go out?
At least the people of Hongdu Factory don't dare.
I don't dare to guarantee it, but the leader is going to talk to you and say: "What? You are not sure? What are you going out for, do you know how much precious foreign exchange you will waste on such a group trip?"
So nine out of nine, the leader does not approve: you say you are going out to look for customers? Why do I think you go out so blindly, in fact, just to make excuses for your own travel abroad? The final result is nothing more than that you go out for a trip, and at the same time come back with a large bag and a small bag, you will leave a sentence of "no customer found" and forget it is over - don't blame the relevant leaders for thinking so, in fact, in the past few years, there are really many such cases.
But for the Hongdu factory, they also have a hard time, and they also feel that their reasons are very sufficient: the state does not give orders, and we do not take the initiative to go abroad to find customers, what should we do with this aircraft?
Everyone is frozen here, anyway, everyone has their own reasons, and they all feel that they are reasonable.
But this time, I happened to hear the news that COMAC was going to sell the Yak-130 to Tuai, but it suddenly gave Hongdu Factory an inspiration: we can join the delegation of COMAC and go abroad.
As for grabbing orders with COMAC, of course they can't and dare not do it, but the problem is that Turkey and Egypt are also one of the top ten military powers in the world...... Tyrants: If Tu Ai thinks a certain plane is good, and we also think it is good after watching it on the spot, can we also buy a batch?
Hongdu Factory is eyeing the melon-eating masses who are watching Tu'ai's purchase this time: can take this opportunity to contact these onlookers who eat melons and see if they can sell a few training aircraft - if they can sell a few by the way, won't it be profitable?
Of course, as for the funds for going out this time, there is no doubt that Hongdu Factory needs to find a way by itself, and it is impossible for COMAC Group to help them solve it.
Understanding the purpose of Hongdu Factory, Wang Dazhi couldn't laugh or cry: "I said Lao Zhang, are you going to save the country like this?"
"There's no way," Zhang Tong sighed, his expression was really as helpless as he was: "You think about it, but the above doesn't approve the funds, and we can't go out at all...... It's hard in the factory now, tens of thousands of mouths are waiting to eat, what do you think we can do?"
"Alas......"
Wang Dazhi patted Zhang Tong on the shoulder, and he really sympathized with them in his heart.
After entering the 90s, the life of the domestic military industry system is becoming more and more difficult, even if Hongdu Factory, which has a long-term cooperative relationship with COMAC Group and has a good relationship with each other, it cannot guarantee that they will eat dry, in order to feed the more than 30,000 mouths of Hongdu Factory, they are really heartbroken.
However, Wang Dazhi didn't dare to call the shots in this kind of thing, he thought about it and said cautiously: "That's it, I'll report to our chairman, listen to what the chairman means, if the chairman agrees, then it's easy to say anything, if the chairman doesn't agree, then don't say anything." ”
"Understand," Zhang Tong was overjoyed, he didn't expect Shang Fei to be so happy, and hurriedly thanked Wang Dazhi in a stack: "Lao Wang, thank you so much, don't worry, we all know the rules, in addition, this time out, if there is anything in China that needs our Hongdu Factory to help in terms of procedures and procedures, Lao Wang, you can also speak, don't be polite to us......"
....................................
After receiving a call from Wang Dazhi, Chen Gengdaqi said: "Hongdu Factory also wants to go out with us?"
"Hongdu Factory is not having a good time now...... Listening to Chen Geng's tone, Wang Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly introduced the current situation of Hongdu Factory to Chen Geng and the purpose of their going out with COMAC this time: "They didn't have the idea of competing for customers with us, just thinking about seeing if they could take this opportunity to sell their K8 in the Middle East." ”

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

Don't be polite to us
