Chapter 883: F_18 "Bumblebee" is here
After returning to the station, Jiang Chen and the others quickly submitted the results and progress of the contact and discussion with Grum and their own analysis report to China, waiting for feedback from China as soon as possible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although everyone was very tired, these manufacturers still did not let Jiang Chen breathe a sigh of relief, but immediately came to the door again. This time it was Northrop and the f_18 "Hornet" fighter they recommended to Jiang Chen. This company and Grum are in competition, so they are chasing very closely. Coupled with the huge orders that Jiang Chen and they confided in before, this company quickly got moved and was ready to actively contact Jiang Chen and them to win orders. However, Jiang Chen and the others contacted Vincent first, which made the company very dissatisfied and anxious. Since Jiang Chen and the others came back from contact with Vincent, this company has been a little impatient to come to the door.
The leader is called Hugo, a typical white European, and I even heard that it is still French wing, and is currently the general manager of the international affairs department of Northrop. Seeing that people came to the door, Jiang Chen and they couldn't help but meet, so he made an appointment with them in the conference room of a five-star hotel. And Jiang Chen and the others finally met this Hugo and his negotiation team, compared to Vincent's casual words and deeds and dress, this Hugo and his team are much more formal, all of them are in suits and leather shoes. This made Jiang Chen on the other side look more like some ** silk that does not enter the stream.
After the two sides met, they introduced each other, and then got to the point. And Hugo also said to Jiang Chen a little impatiently: "Hello, Mr. Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you." In fact, when I knew that you were in charge of contacting and negotiating with our companies, my heart was actually very complicated. You know, I just bought two pickup trucks and three ATVs from your company last month when I was on vacation on a Montana farm. Seriously, they're of pretty good quality, better than a lot of Wakoku cars, especially their sound is great, and a couple of old cowboys on our farm love it. In addition, your ATVs are also very good, it can be said that the momentum of development is very fast, it is estimated that in a few months, someone should accuse you of monopolizing this ATV market. When I found out that you were the head of this business and that you had grown from scratch, I wanted to meet you, to hear your entrepreneurial story, to meet you, a rumored self-made young man. But I also know that since you can develop such a company from nothing to the point where it is now, it must not be luck, and you have the ability, so we are very worried about the person in this negotiation. ”
Hehe, set almost, very old-fashioned way. Jiang Chen smiled at Hugo: "Hi, Mr. Hugo, thank you for your compliment, but what I can do is far from enough, I still need to learn from you who are really successful in this regard." But I don't understand that Monsieur Hugo, who is in such a hurry to meet us, should not be just to express his compliments to me. ”
"No, Mr. Jiang, you and I both understand what's going on, let's not go around the bush, Vincent just finished meeting with you yesterday. Hugo shook his head.
Oh, Jiang Chen said with a sudden expression: "It turns out that Mr. Hugo also came for zero this order, so I don't know what Mr. Hugo used to impress us and persuade us." You know we've talked about a lot of them, and there are a few more to come. I wonder if Mr. Hugo has the strength to stand out from them and get this huge order. ”
"Hahahaha, Jiang, we have brought the world's latest and most advanced fighter this time, and I believe that this fighter will definitely convince you. Saying this, Hugo motioned to the secretary to give Jiang Chen a document for each of them, and then motioned to the staff to turn on the projector in the conference room. I saw the introduction of a fighter plane and various video materials come out of it, and this fighter is the f_18 "Hornet" fighter that shocked the Quartet in later generations. The whole film lasted more than ten minutes, and the performance of this fighter was introduced to Jiang Chen and them from several aspects such as the design ideas, manufacturing process, overall performance, and flight combat cases. And the Chinese and English documents in Jiang Chen's hands also contain these, of course, they are more specific than in the video, which also includes the specific data of this fighter.
After watching the film, Hugo saw Jiang Chen's surprised expressions on their side, and then said proudly at Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, how about it, this fighter can definitely impress you." ”
Jiang Chen glanced at the proud Hugo and then shook his head and said: "The movie is very exciting, if it is placed in Hollywood, it will definitely win the Best Film and Best Director awards." But what you said, Vincent said yesterday, and some of the data they gave us is much better than yours. Mr. Hugo, I'm afraid that's not enough. ”
"No, it can't be. Jiang, I assure you that our data is true and reliable. If it is not accurate, we are willing to take the relevant responsibility, which we can write in the contract. And look at me for sure that Vincent they exaggerated certain facts. Hugo said, shaking his head.
Jiang Chen waved his hand and said, "No, Mr. Hugo, this point you promised Vincent and they have assured us yesterday, and their data is also true and reliable. Of course, there's definitely some propaganda there's going to be there, and that's understandable, and you're not either. For example, the thrust of a single F404 engine you are equipped with is 7200 kg, and what you write in this is about 7500 kg, although it is also correct, but it confuses the real data. And the real fuel storage capacity of your fighter should be 4990 kg of fuel, plus three auxiliary fuel tanks, the total fuel load of the aircraft is 7979 kg. However, your report does not mention three auxiliary fuel tanks, but directly writes 8,000 kilograms of fuel and exaggerates 21 kilograms of fuel. You should know that on the battlefield, one kilogram of fuel can affect the success or failure of the entire air battle, let alone twenty-one kilograms of fuel, as well as the three anchor points that you have overlooked. ”
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Hugo and the others were all surprised, they never thought that Jiang Chen could see at a glance some of the moisture and mistakes they had mixed in this introduction. This made Hugo very embarrassed, and he coughed twice and said to Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, I didn't expect your preparations to be so meticulous. But that's not something we're hiding, you know, as a fighter that is already in service with the military, we have to keep certain performance metrics secret. And the document that you see is actually what we saw at the air show for other people in the industry, and of course it also includes people in the industry on our hostile side, such as Su*. So please forgive me, it's our work that hasn't done it properly. Rest assured, the data we will provide you with is absolutely authentic. These can also be included in the contract, and we can also arrange for your pilots to conduct test flights in advance to check the reliability of its performance in person. ”
