Meng Haibo and Huang Wenqing, who got the desired answer from Chen Geng, immediately ran to Guo Wenxiang as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, Guo Wenxiang learned that Chen Geng did not reject cooperation with Chengfa Factory, and was also very happy, and immediately reported this matter to the chief and the attitude of Chengfa Factory in this cooperation, and put forward a suggestion to the chief: whether it is possible to make a greater transfer of interests to Mr. Chen Geng, from AVIC to another enterprise with aircraft design and manufacturing capabilities as Chen Geng's partner, and then let Chen Geng give up cooperation with Xifei？

The leaders were also very interested in Guo Wenxiang's proposal.

One of the main reasons why the cooperation process between the two sides has been deadlocked is that Xifei is too important to China's strategic security, and everyone has a misunderstanding of this cooperation, that is, Chen Geng has identified Xifei, and it must be Xifei, but now everyone realizes that they seem to have misunderstood: since Chen Geng can consider the Chengfa factory, why can't he consider other aircraft factories in the AVIC system?

The question is, who to choose?

The answer given by Guo Wenxiang is Ha Fei.

This answer made the heads of the chiefs shine.

Hafei has experience in the design and production of a variety of rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft such as Z-5 helicopters, H-5 bombers, and Y-11 light civil transport aircraft.

It's just a question, can Chen Geng agree?

Coincidentally, Chen Geng informed the Huaxia side that the first batch of prototypes of the light military jeeps he had developed for the Huaxia military had been completed, and asked the Huaxia side to send someone to test the performance of these vehicles.

Isn't this the opportunity?

The high-level immediately notified the delegation still in the United States to see what the performance of Chen Geng's batch of cars was, and at the same time, "by the way" to communicate with Chen Geng about this matter.

........................

"Mr. Chen, we meet again. ”

Seeing Chen Geng, the comrades of the Chinese delegation were very enthusiastic.

It's no wonder that everyone is so enthusiastic, I really don't know how much energy Chen Geng has in the United States, and when he is in China, some ...... Well, in fact, there are quite a lot of comrades, because of Chen Geng's age and skin color, they will subconsciously underestimate Chen Geng's energy, but after arriving in the United States, everyone found that Chen Geng's energy is so powerful that it is beyond their imagination, so that when everyone discusses it in private, the most common words with emotion are: "If it weren't for Chen Geng's help, we would definitely not be able to do this." ”；“ Fortunately, Mr. Chen Geng helped XX say hello, otherwise we might not even be able to enter someone's door today......."

In this case, how could everyone not be enthusiastic about Chen Geng?

Chen Geng was also warm and polite, and with this effort, Chen Geng asked Li Jianguo: "Director Li, what is General Electric's attitude towards your introduction of T700 turboshaft engines?"

Since the last time Chen Geng suggested that Huaxia take this opportunity to introduce the patent and technology of General Electric's T700-GE-701C turboshaft engine from the United States on the "Black Hawk" and "Apache", Huaxia really cared about this matter, and then expressed the idea of purchasing T700 turboshaft engine technology to the US government.

Speaking of this, Li Jianguo's face suddenly collapsed: "The U.S. government agreed......

"The U.S. government actually agreed so happily?" Chen Geng was greatly surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, they agreed," Li Jianguo's expression became even more depressed: "But their offer is really ...... It's ......."

"Huh?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows and motioned for Li Jianguo to continue.

Thinking about its practical heels, you can also think that the government's offer will definitely not be cheap, but considering that the unit price of the civilian version of the "Black Hawk" helicopter introduced by Huaxia in 84 is "only" 6 million US dollars, and the total price of a total of 24 "Black Hawk" plus various other maintenance and support equipment is 150 million US dollars, Chen Geng feels in his heart, no matter how high the energy is?

"The U.S. government was reluctant to sell at first, and then told us through Sikorsky that the T700 is not transferable, but asked us to purchase at least 70 Black Hawk helicopters, which is almost $440 million, and then the technology transfer fee for the T700 engine is $40 million, which adds up to $480 million, and even if we can negotiate the price, we will have at least $460 million......

"it!"

Hearing this, Chen Geng couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

"Really, right?" Chen Geng's sentence "!" made Li Jianguo feel like a confidant in his heart, probably because this incident made him suffocated, and he couldn't help but complain: "How much did we spend on the introduction of the 'Dolphin' helicopter and related complete aircraft and engine technology from France the year before last? It was less than 75 million US dollars, and now we don't want to introduce the whole machine technology, the Yankees have offered a sky-high price of at least 460 million US dollars, which is simply a robbery ......."

Chen Geng very well understands why Li Jianguo thinks so, two years ago Huaxia introduced the "Dolphin" helicopter from France, that is, the later Z-9 helicopter and related patents and technologies, the whole introduction project is divided into two parts, namely technology transfer and the purchase of 50 helicopter complete aircraft, complete engines, parts and raw materials.

Among them, the cost of technology transfer is 45.8 million francs for helicopter technology transfer and 11 million francs for engine technology transfer, a total of 59.5 million francs, which is about 14.16 million US dollars in US dollars, and 253.85 million francs for 50 helicopter complete engines, spare parts and raw materials, which is about 60.44 million US dollars in US dollars.

Combined, the total cost of the entire Dolphin introduction project is about $74.6 million.

Although the "Dolphin" helicopter is only a light medium-sized helicopter of 4 to 6 tons (in fact, the maximum take-off weight is less than 5 tons), and it is not a level opponent of the 10-ton "Black Hawk", but the Yankees' heart is indeed a little darker, and they even gave an offer of 460 million US dollars for the entire project, which is more than six times that of the "Dolphin" project.

"The price...... Tsk......"

Chen Geng doesn't know what to say, to put it mildly, now is the only time window for Huaxia to introduce the T700 turboshaft engine, once this window is missed, Huaxia has no opportunity to introduce this super turboshaft engine from the United States, and in the future, our straight-10, straight-19, and straight-10 will face the dilemma that there is no good engine available, but the Yankees' offer is too dark, and the "Dolphin" helicopter on the "Arje" 1C turboshaft engine only cost how much? $460 million, this is really going to kill the rabbit.

"Forget it, don't talk about this," Chen Geng waved his hand: "I'll take you to see the sample car first." ”

........................

AMC has its own professional off-road vehicle test site, and everyone who came to the test site saw 12 different jeeps lined up on the test site at a glance. The best off-road vehicle CJ7 is equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 engine with a center differential, and the CJ7 is equipped with a set of Quadra-Trac full-time four-wheel drive system provided by BorgWarner, which can lock the center differential in both high-speed and low-speed four-wheel drive modes, and when in low-speed four-wheel drive mode, the torque is amplified by 2.57 times, and we can also choose to install the Trac-Lok rear axle limited-slip differential lock that we are proud of JEEP to improve the off-road performance of the vehicle.

The CJ7 inherits the tradition of Willys Jeep, with the roof and doors removable and the front windshield that can be folded forward to meet a variety of special needs......

The representatives of the Huaxia delegation were amazed: although they had not seen the actual performance of this jeep with their own eyes, they only listened to Chen Geng's introduction, what 5.0-liter V8 engine, what BorgWarner Quadra-Trac full-time four-wheel drive system, what Trac-Lok rear axle limited-slip differential lock...... It's amazing when you hear it.

"These three cars, called the Cherokee, are our best-selling JEEP products, equipped with a time-sharing four-wheel drive system, which can flexibly switch between rear-wheel-drive, high-speed four-wheel drive and low-speed four-wheel drive according to the needs of actual road conditions......

"These two are the replacement products of the CJ7 that we have just developed, and they are also the products I designed according to your needs, I call him 'Wrangler', what you see now is the low-end version of this car, I call him Sahara, yes, it is the Sahara of the Sahara Desert, compared with CJ7, Sahara not only has a time-sharing four-wheel drive system, but also uses a new heavy-duty axle, and has stronger off-road ability.

And compared to the CJ7, the Sahara has a revolutionary commission in terms of comfort, we have abandoned the leaf spring structure on the CJ7, adopted a more comfortable coil spring, and is divided into a standard wheelbase version with stronger off-road ability and a longer wheelbase version with a more comfortable ride, which is this three-door and this five-door.

Like the CJ7, the roof and doors of the full range of Wrangler can also be removed, and the windshield can also be receded......"

"These two are the mid-range models in the Wrangler series, I call him Robinson, compared to the Sahara, Robinson has further improved off-road performance, using a more powerful engine, a transfer case that can amplify torque by 4 times in low-speed four-wheel drive mode, and a heavier axle with higher strength, as well as two front and rear differential locks, this car's off-road ability is very extreme, and it can do even if only one wheel has friction to smoothly take you out of trouble......"

"These two are the most powerful models in the Wrangler series, I call him Robinson Plus, compared to the regular Robinson, the Robinson Plus has all the equipment that the regular Robinson has, but also features a portal axle with almost extreme off-road ability, an anti-roll bar that can be disconnected, and an electric winch system......"
