"Dad, don't think about Egypt according to our national conditions. They are completely different from our situation. Xie Kai looked at his father and knew that his father was considering Egypt based on the domestic situation.

This is unacceptable.

Egypt has no money, that's a fact.

However, Egypt's allies have money, especially the big dogs in the Middle East, and they want Egypt to be as strong as possible militarily.

"In fact, the main thing is that this contract is related to the upgrading of a huge number of 59 tanks in the Middle East. The performance of the 59 tank lagged behind, and even if the M60 tank gun used in the M68 tank was fused and replaced with a German 1200 horsepower engine, the performance would not be improved much. "Xie Kai understands the thinking of the Egyptian Ministry of Defense and War Products, and also understands the current plan to improve the combat effectiveness of Egyptian tanks.

In the end, this realistic version of the 59 baton, the Egyptians built only 200 of them.

That is, the Egyptians spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the transformation of 59 tanks.

And in the end, they, the tank factory, can only rebuild 59 tanks, and they can't even do engine overhaul and other situations.

Otherwise, how could Xie Kai have the confidence to put forward such conditions?

It is absolutely impossible for the Americans to have too strong tank productivity for the sake of their own orders.

The Middle Eastern countries are not very good at fighting, and the amount they need is not much, but they can't stand the fact that people have money and have no place to spend it.

"Then go your way. Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai with a firm face, pondering, Xie Kai has always had his own opinions on these matters.

The higher the condition, the greater the benefit to the 404.

$1.6 billion will allow the base to fund research more sufficiently.

"Minister, such conditions are too high. According to our plan, if we buy 300 tanks, pay according to their price, and pay another $200 million for the use of technology, we will not make much profit......," Ariaf said to Muhanad with a sad face.

Everyone else is against such conditions, believing that the conditions of the Chinese are too high.

"Paying more than $800 million to acquire the technology to produce a tank that is not the most advanced in the world is really not cost-effective on the surface. Muhanad nodded and said, "Everyone, have you ever thought about the difference between the tank factory built by the Americans and the Chinese?"

"It's no different. Even, the Chinese cannot provide 1200 horsepower engine manufacturing technology, can their tanks be equipped with such an engine?" asked the minister rhetorically.

1200 hp engine, this is the bottom line of the Egyptians.

"Didn't they explain that such an engine upgrade was retained?" said Aliav.

"The Chinese are different from the Americans, and the conditions put forward by the Americans are for us to purchase M1 tanks from their country, and China does not attach any agreements. Muhanad's words silenced everyone, "So far, 200 tank factories, from the ground systems division of General Dynamics to help us build a tank factory, to now, the entire factory, in addition to having the ability to overhaul M60A3 tanks and M88A1 armored rescue vehicles, where is the ability to make new tanks? What about the engine production line? What about the armor manufacturing production line? Where is the main gun production line?"

The silence of the crowd was even greater.

They don't know how to answer.

According to the agreement, the new tank plant that the Americans helped them build should have these features.

Taylordain Continental was awarded a contract by the Egyptians to design a new tank, and the design and testing were carried out in the United States, and after completion, the tank factory established with the help of General Dynamics could only assemble tanks.

The tank gun was imported from the United States, the power system was from the United States, the fire control system was from Belgium, and even the hydromechanical transmission was from the Federal Republic of Germany......

There is no technology that can be obtained by Egypt.

There was not a single component that could be made by the Egyptians themselves.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of our introduction is to obtain our own production technology, so that we can improve the design in our own production process, independently build our own tanks, and provide them to our ......allies," Muhanad stressed.

In fact, cooperation with the Americans simply did not meet expectations.

"Mr. Minister, can the Chinese provide us with technology?" one asked.

"Maybe people didn't pay attention. China has built what it claims to be the largest tank manufacturing base in Asia. Now, due to changes in China's national defense policy and reform and opening up, the main focus is on economic construction...... Getting their second-hand production equipment from Chinese is not a very complicated thing and it doesn't cost too much......," Muhanad said proudly.

"541?" When the Egyptians were planning to get a second-hand production line in China, Xie Kai was also explaining how to make the Egyptians get a satisfactory production line.

When Zheng Yucheng and the others heard this, their eyes widened.

"Yes, 541 production base. Most of the production plants there are basically deserted. Even the current production of 359 tanks, there are many idle production lines......," Xie Kai nodded affirmatively," Xie Kai nodded affirmatively, "Instead of rusting and wasting in China, it is better to apply to the higher authorities to provide these second-hand equipment to Egypt, and the funds obtained will be used to upgrade the new production line." ”

In Africa, Xie Kai's plan is to sell some idle third-tier unit production lines in China.

In the past, the state engaged in the construction of the third line and invested a huge amount of money, but now it is basically idle.

"This requires the consent of the superiors, we have no right to ......" Xie Jianguo was taken aback, "Xie Kai, you have to think about the consequences." ”

Reselling state-owned assets, once someone talks about this, is not a trivial matter.

Xie Kai's courage is now getting bigger and bigger.

"Dad, we're just matchmaking in this matter. If the higher authorities do not agree to sell the used line, we can only order a new one. Xie Kai said. "The Egyptians will not give up. The Americans do not provide production technology, only finished products, otherwise, there is no business for us. ”

Zheng Yucheng and the others nodded.

541 tank base, now a large amount of equipment is idle.

The order for 359 tanks is huge, with 617 involved, plus 404's own production and assembly capacity, the huge production capacity of the 541 tank base cannot be brought into play at all.

The construction of that year, the main thing was the production of 59 tanks, which had long been lagging behind.

The production line is backward, and even if it is used for production, it has to invest a lot of money to upgrade the production line.

"What?" Li Mingshan thought he had misheard, "They want to sell those idle production lines in the 541 tank base?"

"Yes. The specific situation has to pass to understand. Now they are negotiating a contract with the Egyptians on the introduction of 359 tank technology, and they have been talking for more than a month now......" Long Yaohua said with a wry smile.

Li Mingshan understood where Long Yaohua's wry smile came from, but he was even more puzzled, "Didn't you say that the Egyptians were talking about the Super Seven Fighter? Why did it become a tank again?"

"I don't know. You are in charge of military assets, etc., which can be sold, you understand the national policy and the ideas of your superiors, you have to ......," Long Yaohua said. Xie Kai said that after this village, there will be no such shop. The Egyptians are going to ...... the production line"

He just helped get the word out.

"Isn't that kid Xie Kai supposed to go to school?" Li Mingshan's eyes widened, "Huaqing University's management, is it so lax?"

"The school is very dissatisfied, I asked the principal to help him ask for leave, but now I don't dare to answer the phone from there......" Long Yaohua didn't want to mention this.

Disturbing.

"At present, many production lines are idle because of backward technology, aging equipment, and few production plans, and it is not easy to deal with them. The superiors are all worried about this......" Li Mingshan's words made Long Yaohua feel that there was a great possibility of this thing.

As long as the higher authorities agree, for the military industrial system, backward production equipment can be converted into funds to upgrade the production line.

Li Mingshan immediately rushed to Rongcheng.

When I arrived in Rongcheng, I asked about the specific situation as soon as possible.

"The production line has been sold, and the funds obtained have been used to upgrade other technologies, but what about the workers in the production line? How to settle them?" After getting off the plane, Li Mingshan began to ask Long Yaohua and others in the car.

"Chief, to provide the production line, there must be our technical personnel responsible for guidance and training, right? This requires some people...... As for the rest, I think some of our 404 units also need to ......" After getting the news that Li Mingshan came in person, Zheng Yucheng and a few people discussed it. "The entire contract, plus the order for 300 tanks and the technology transfer fee, the production line will exceed $1 billion. ”

"So many?" Li Mingshan asked in surprise.

"The production line is only more than 100 million US dollars...... Xie Kai hurriedly explained.

The leaders can't be misunderstood, the $200 million technology transfer fee is also included in the production line, which is 404.

"You kid, you sold your upgraded technology for 200 million?" Li Mingshan asked Xie Kai rhetorically.

The latter nodded.

"Leave $100 million, $100 million, and it has to go to the military. Li Mingshan said, "You all got the technology from the military for many of the related technologies of the 359 tank before, and you didn't give a penny ......."

"Chief, you can't count it like this! Although this is the case, but we didn't use these technologies at the beginning, and we were idle there......" Xie Kai was naturally unhappy.

Li Mingshan is here to rob.

Technology transfer fees, that's 404.

Zheng Yucheng was silent.

100 million US dollars, more than 300 million soft sister coins.

It's not a small amount of money, but you can do a lot of things.

"Take the research results of other units to sell for money, and other units can't get benefits, do you still want to get them in the future?" Li Mingshan did not force 404 to hand it over, "In the previous cooperation with Pakistan, you only charged a technical threshold fee of 50 million US dollars, and the situation of 404 is not optimistic, so that is not a problem." Now that your little life is prosperous, many units are staring at ......"

"Chief, why don't you take some less?" Zheng Yucheng was a little unwilling.

No one is afraid of money, is it?

Xie Kai also knew that what Li Mingshan said was the truth, it was not that the superiors wanted to rob them of their funds, but that the small days of 404 now made many brother units look hot.

When they developed the 359 tank, it was all based on the research projects of other units.

These technologies do not cost a penny.
