Chapter 747: Recent Developments in the Aircraft Introduction Program

Although Jiang Chen's side is very leisurely now, he can relax for a while. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But abroad, the fat man and the glasses and the relevant salary personnel of the marketing department are working nervously on the side of Lao Mei. Now that all the procedures for the admission of this vehicle have been passed, it is now waiting for the National Assembly to vote on it. Laos and the United States are such a country, although the power of the president is relatively large, but the power of the Congress is also very large, basically equal. Therefore, this matter still has to be voted on in time before it can be approved and put into effect. In fact, it was originally a normal business transaction, but because of the particularity of the relationship between the two countries at this stage, Jiang Chen's car sales plan, his plan to introduce aircraft technology and equipment, and a series of other bilateral cooperation marriages were bundled together, so they needed to be voted on. Originally, Jiang Chen was reluctant to get involved in this kind of thing, but who made this a task, Jiang Chen had to obey. So it was included in the list.

In the past two days, the National Assembly has been deliberating, so activities are going on on all sides. For example, contributing to political contributions, or convincing certain parliamentarians to speak for them. It is said that in this case, it is extremely difficult for Jiang Chen and his automobile company to enter the Laomei market. Because of the three major automobile giants in the United States, there is no group of parliamentarians of their own, so no matter how powerful Jiang Chen is, he will definitely not be able to compare with them. And these companies are naturally reluctant to see a foreign company to share their share. However, it is a coincidence that the relationship between the two countries is close at present, and the United States also intends to support our country economically. Therefore, during this period, both in terms of public opinion and policy in the old United States, it was beneficial to our country. So in this environment, Jiang Chen's commercial trade is naturally not a matter. On the one hand, they don't believe that Jiang Chen's cars can bring trouble to the old American auto companies, and the second thing is that this matter must give way to the national strategic direction. Although these cars have huge opinions, they have passed in this atmosphere.

And for the sake of insurance, the fat man also found a few legislators in Lao Mei, and wanted to ask them to give speeches and propaganda in the congress to ensure the passage of the plan. Of course, for this, Jiang Chen and they must pay a certain amount of political/political donations, about 20,000 US dollars per person. It's not okay to have more, because if you have more regulations, it is tantamount to taking bribes. And if it's less, people don't do it, so they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on this fat man. Although Jiang Chen was distressed by this, he knew that if Jiang Chen and the others continued to operate in Laomei, then there would be a donation every year, which had become an unwritten rule. There's no way, people are the national conditions, and if you have an opinion, it's useless.

And in terms of helicopters, there is also good news. Fat Man: The contact with McDonnell Douglas and Bell Company is very smooth, and both parties are interested in selling them the corresponding production equipment and corresponding technical processes. However, the two have their own pros and cons, it depends on how Jiang Chen chooses. First of all, McDonnell Douglas Company, they are willing to sell Jiang Chen all other technical information and corresponding production equipment except for this engine technology, and the price is very cheap. But there is one condition, that is, they want to take a stake in Jiang Chen's aircraft manufacturing company. In this regard, because of Jiang Chen's explanation, of course the fat man did not agree. But McDonnell Douglas did not let go, and still wanted to seek shares, and even later, this transaction fee dropped and decreased, and it was basically about to be given away in vain. And from the control of this want, as long as there are shares, the lowest time is only 10%, but it was still rejected by the fat man.

McDonnell Douglas's intention is actually obvious, that is, it wants to use Jiang Chen's company as a platform, and then take the opportunity to enter the country on a large scale. Jiang Chen naturally couldn't agree to such a purpose, not to mention the emotions of these old people who had come to Anxi, and said that Jiang Chen himself was not willing to such a company to further attack our weak aviation manufacturing industry. Moreover, in terms of this core engine, McDonnell Douglas also requires that the products produced in the future must be equipped with their engines. For this, Jiang Chen and the others were naturally unwilling. The core technology is always held in the hands of the man-machine, which is equivalent to holding your life, and becoming a tool for others. In the future, Jiang Chen and they will definitely develop their own engines, so Jiang Chen and they are naturally unwilling to compromise on this point. But despite all the differences, McDonnell Douglas is positive. Even their vice president offered to fly to China to have a face-to-face meeting with Jiang Chen. For them to raise this point, the fat man naturally didn't expect it, and immediately told Jiang Chen about the situation. In this regard, Jiang Chen smiled and asked the fat man to tell them, come if you want, Jiang Chen welcomes them at any time.

And this Bell company is also very positive. But unlike McDonnell Douglas, Bell is more like a businessman, and they are willing to want Jiang Chen to sell all the technology of this helicopter except for the engine. Of course, if Jiang Chen's price is right, then the engine technology of this aircraft is not unsellable, but it is more expensive. Not only the engine, but also the other technical information and the corresponding production equipment of the aircraft are very expensive, even double the price of McDonnell Douglas. Although negotiations are still ongoing and the price will be further reduced, the overall price is still much higher than McDonnell Douglas' offer. And in terms of aircraft models, Jiang Chen is also more inclined to this 'little bird helicopter'. Because this aircraft has a wide range of uses, it can be developed relatively strongly, and it is suitable for both military and civilian use. Therefore, Jiang Chen decided to negotiate with McDonnell Douglas first, and if the negotiation is settled, he will give priority to them, and if he can't negotiate in the end, he will choose Bell's plan.

Of course, this project is also one of the more important cooperation projects in the package of cooperation between the two countries. First of all, it is important because it is a cooperation between two private enterprises, and the number of cooperation is relatively large. Although we had a close relationship with Lao Mei during this period, Lao Mei's heart to harm me never died, and they also tried their best to transform us into the same as them. And Jiang Chen's private enterprise was naturally regarded as a breakthrough by them. Another reason is that the current trade between the two countries is extremely unequal, and the United States has spent a lot of money to buy a large amount of raw materials and primary industrial products from our country. However, because of the preciousness of foreign exchange, the things we buy from the United States are very limited, and this project is also one of the relatively large amount of projects we have imported from the United States in recent years. Therefore, the United States also wants to try to promote the completion of this project to reduce the growing trade deficit in their trade with us. (To be continued.) )
