680 But the Egyptians, who were about to be slaughtered, were overjoyed
"You have to communicate to know. You should be clear that the combat performance of the 359 tank ...... Originally, this was a joint development between us and Pakistan, and we only agreed to it. Xie Kai said.
Before it was said that the 359 tank production line was sold, Mubara was a little anxious.
They were deceived by Xie Kai and gave a threshold fee of 50 million US dollars for the use of technology, and finally built the production line, but they did not produce much and did not make a profit, and Xie Kai sold the production line again.
How will you sell tanks in the future?
When Mubara heard Shekai say this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When the plane arrived in Rongcheng, it was still very early.
The reception car arranged by Factory 132 has been parked at the airport.
Zheng Yucheng personally led the team to greet him, and Xie Jianguo also looked at Xie Kai and smiled.
The eyes of the two were bloodshot.
After the introduction of the two sides, they exchanged pleasantries and went directly to the 132 factory.
Zheng Yucheng and Xie Jianguo took Xie Kai into their car, not because they didn't want to have a good relationship with the customer, but they didn't know about it.
On the phone, Xie Kai didn't say it too obviously, he only said that the Egyptians wanted to buy fighters.
"How is it?" Zheng Yucheng asked eagerly, and Xie Jianguo also stared at Xie Kai.
"The main thing they want to get is the fighter ......production line," Xie Kai explained the situation, "as long as we agree to sell the production line, it won't be a big problem to win." ”
"Sell the production line?" will the above agree?" Xie Jianguo asked with a frown.
"Not in principle. Xie Kai said, "After all, we are international cooperation and Sino-foreign joint ventures." ”
Zheng Yucheng understood, "How much do they procure?"
"Anyway, if it's less than 80, let's not talk about the production line. "How does Xie Kai know how much the Egyptians buy?
Anyway, 80 is a hard indicator.
"If they get the fighter production line, they will become our strong competitors......," Xie Jianguo said worriedly, "If there are too many of them, the engines will be stuck by the Soviets, and it will be troublesome." ”
"Isn't the power factory copying the RD-33 engine? Even if Egypt gets the production line, what will it do? Think about us, we have introduced the bass engine production line from the United Kingdom, and now, isn't it completely produced?" Zheng Yucheng was not worried, "At your price, you won't sell it at the price of the J-7, right? The J-7 can be said to be half sold and half given away." ”
In 80, China signed an arms trade contract with Egypt to export 60 J-7s to Egypt, and soon delivered 20 of them, and then in 82 the remaining 40 were delivered according to the J-7B technical standards.
That price is completely the price of cabbage.
Of course, it is also gratifying, before this, all the J-7 exported by China were military aid!
Yes, military aid, not a penny, and even have to post shipping and training fees.
Just to help fraternal countries improve their national defense capabilities.
It was not until the reform and opening up that the state continued to reduce its military expenditures and exported weapons in accordance with market principles, that the situation changed.
"At least $10 million!" Xie Kai said.
"$800 million, it's worth selling the production line. Anyway, selling Pakistan is also selling, and selling to Egypt is also selling. Zheng Yucheng was overjoyed, "On the Pakistani side, they want to give 250 million US dollars to get technology and production lines?"
"Although this matter is disturbing, we can't go too far in it, and we have to involve them in the follow-up twin-engine fighter project. If the Air Force doesn't want it, let's find a market again, and we'll ......be in trouble," Xie Kai explained why he agreed that the Pakistanis would invest $250 million to obtain technology and production rights according to the original agreement.
Anyway, Pakistan cannot be stronger than China in terms of fighter design.
The manufacturing of key core components is in the hands of 404.
"If nothing else, it's just a big press, they can't afford to invest in it. Xie Kai said. "Besides, the follow-up investment will be even greater, and the $250 million will come in, and our financial pressure will be reduced a lot. ”
Zheng Yucheng was not happy, but he did not object again, anyway, there is something to talk about later.
The convoy departed from the airport and went to the 132 factory, and at this time, the cadres and workers of the 132 factory walked to the office and production workshop one after another.
Huo Haiyuan is now the chief designer of the 404 fighter, and although the 132 factory and the 611 were very troublesome, they reluctantly accepted it after a long time.
In such a situation, the 132 factory and the 611 people protested with the non-reception.
Knowing the contradiction between the two sides, Zheng Yucheng didn't say much.
A group of people, directly led by Huo Haiyuan and several other responsible persons to visit the single-engine super seven prototype being tested.
“...... The Super 7A model adopts canard wing layout, wing-body fusion technology, and large delta wing...... Powered by a Soviet-made RD-33 engine, it can reach a top speed of Mach 2.35...... It has excellent maneuverability...... It can carry 900 kg of ammunition......" Huo Haiyuan pointed to the prototype that is undergoing ground glide tests, introducing this light fighter that integrates many technologies of the J-9.
In particular, the use of a four-degree flight control system for this light fighter, some digital simulation systems and the use of larger-scale computers have made the Egyptians overjoyed.
They originally thought that this thing was probably an improved model of the J-7.
When I saw a prototype that could run on the ground and understood the situation, I was so happy, not to mention it.
"Did they really bring foreigners to see the fighters?" In the office, Xiong Hongyuan asked Li Wenzheng, who was unhappy, in disbelief.
"Everyone is in the test workshop, what else is fake. Old bear, we have to find a way. If they do this, our unit will only be able to produce their fighters in the future,......" Li Wenzheng said worriedly, "the people who robbed us of our business, and let us work for free......
"Director Song, what do you say?" Xiong Hongyuan was also uncomfortable.
404 is doing a bad thing, it's too inauthentic.
But what else can they do but watch helplessly?
"I've been busy studying Project 10 all day, so how can I have time to pay attention to this? Besides, the two fighters of the 404 are both responsible for part ......of the technical verification of Project 10! Director Song wishes they could get it out soon," Li Wenzheng complained.
A lot of people were dug up on the 611 side, but Song Wencong didn't speak.
"We should look at this from a different perspective. The more fighters they sell, the more production tasks we have......" said Zhao Kunxi, deputy factory director, when the two were in trouble.
"If they have too many tasks, will they be able to set up their own production plants? Now they have already built engine factories...... Li Wenzheng said.
"The engine factory, didn't they all live happily before, and they didn't have business, so they wanted it. Investing in a fighter production plant is not a simple matter......" Zhao Kunxi shook his head, "They don't have a production factory, and the more orders they sign, the greater the benefits to us, isn't it? If it weren't for their orders, we would rely on orders from the domestic Air Force, where could we be so nourished." ”
"Who knows about them?" Xiong Hongyuan sighed.
For 404, all cooperative units, it can be said that they love and hate.
Love, because the country does not have too many production tasks, 404, a unit that can always find orders, brings them saturated production tasks.
Hate, because this unit is too disturbing, and it poachs people at every turn.
"We should communicate with them in case there is another big order this time. Our production line, which is used to produce Super -7A, still needs to be upgraded. Zhao Kunxi knew the worries of the two.
But if it goes on like this, it's not a solution.
When the leaders of Factory 132 discussed, the 611 Institute, which also got the news, did not react.
Anyway, they designed fighters.
The Super Seven Project is not a project of 611, even if it is designed by 611.
When the client sees it, it will naturally communicate with the design team.
"The engine was imported from the Soviet Union?" the Egyptians did not expect, they were full of the idea that it was an engine developed by China itself.
"Yes, we signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Soviet Union. Huo Haiyuan nodded and said.
"Then how do you make sure that we have enough engines when we need them?" Muhanad asked Huo Haiyuan.
Huo Haiyuan was speechless for a while.
Until then, they were worried that the engine would smash into their hands, which put a lot of pressure on the design team.
But with customers, people are worried that the engine will not be sufficiently supplied.
"Mr. Minister, you are too worried. Xie Kai said with a smile, "Before this, we signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the relevant departments of the Soviet Union, and in addition, some of the two hundred engines have already arrived." ”
"Two hundred?" the Egyptians were shocked.
The Chinese seem to be doing something unreasonable in this matter.
"Yes, as long as you don't buy more than 200 units, it's not a problem. Of course, after all, our country and Pakistan also have a great demand, this kind of fighter can not only undertake combat missions, but also serve as a training aircraft. Xie Kai said.
The Egyptians were tempted.
After hearing Huo Haiyuan's introduction to some technical aspects, he was already moved.
"Your fighter has not yet completed its first flight. There is still a long way to go from the first flight to the final service......"
"Isn't your country ready to introduce a production line? Before that, you can build a production line. As soon as our side completes the test flight, your country's production line will start manufacturing......" Xie Kai said with a grin.
The Egyptians rejoiced.
But Mubara's brows were tightly knit together.
If the Egyptians had production capacity, they would definitely sell this fighter as a training aircraft to the Middle East.
The Egyptians have much better relations with the countries of the Middle East than they do with the countries of the Middle East.
"Xie, we don't agree to this project!" Mubara reminded Xie Kai. "It's okay to sell fighters, sell production lines, and it's not the scope of cooperation we discussed before, right?"
He disagreed, and the Egyptians were not happy.
"General, you came to us and offered to introduce that the Chinese Super Seven can sell the production line!" Ariaf said to Mubara dissatisfied.
"General, let's come down and communicate about this. Mr. Minister, we can first discuss the respective conditions, such as the conditions for the introduction of production lines or something...... "Xie Kai didn't expect that Mubara's goods would jump out and make trouble.
