Chapter 183: General Electric's Resentment

The talks began on the second day, and Chen Xu was fully prepared and confident that he would be able to return with a full load. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When Chen Xu got up in the morning and saw a Boeing airliner landing at the air base, he knew that it must be a US negotiator coming from Washington. The level of this negotiation is very high, and the technology transactions involved are all top secret, so the US side sent all high-ranking officials, and there is no intention of fooling around.

The clothes of the officials accompanying Chen Xu were all burned to slag after the Galaxy transport plane crashed, even the eldest brother's travel bag containing traditional Chinese medicine was no exception, which saved Chen Xu from the pain of drinking medicine in the past few days. However, Chen Xu's personal loss was quite large, and the $200,000 watch he wore in his hand was uncomfortable when he rested on the plane because he was uncomfortable resting his wrist, so he took it off and put it in his eldest brother's travel bag, and it also turned into ashes together. Of course, this matter has to be reimbursed by the U.S. government, and Chen Xu's love of collecting famous watches is not a secret, so even if the U.S. imperialists are reluctant, they have to compensate Chen Xu for his personal losses.

The watch is nothing, but the officials have no clothes to change and it is bad, but the Los Angeles embassy helped a lot, after learning about the negotiation team, immediately from the city of Los Angeles to find a tailor to make two sets of Chinese style tunics for the officials, Chen Xu of course does not like a suit that looks very old-fashioned, but asked the tailor to make a set of British suits, so that he can appear very spirited.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Chinese delegation walked into the conference hall in brand new clothes and full of spirit, ready to have a good time with the Americans!

As soon as he walked into the conference room, Chen Xu saw the elder Bush standing in the crowd, and hurriedly walked over to give him a hug and said in surprise: "Mr. Bush, why are you there?" It's been a hard time coming all the way from Washington. ”

"Washington thinks I'm familiar with you, so I'll come over and preside over the negotiations. The last negotiation at the submarine base gave you too much Chinese weaponry, and as a result, I came back and was almost besieged by Congress and the news media, and everyone classified me as pro-China, thinking that my use of weapons aid to strengthen my ties with China was too radical and would cause a strong backlash from the Soviet Union. The elder Bush warmly hugged Chen Xu, and the opening was to complain, obviously after giving China such aircraft and warships, the elder Bush also suffered great political risks.

However, China has succeeded in attracting Soviet military power throughout the Pacific, and the United States imperialism can finally breathe a sigh of relief with such a strong and reliable ally. Only half of the GDR in Europe did not play a big role, and it was a joke to expect the French, who only knew how to spend a holiday under the Eiffel Tower, to be the main force to resist the Soviet army, and the British-stirring stick was always a troublemaker, and the United States had to station 200,000 troops in the heart of Europe in case Europe was annexed by the Soviet Union.

Although some conservative factions of US imperialism have deep grievances, at present, the Soviet Union, the great enemy, it is the most correct choice to form an alliance with the flower planters, so the status of Bush Sr. in Washington has risen instead of falling.

"I'm in trouble for you! Hopefully, this negotiation will strengthen your position in Washington. Chen Xu understands that these politicians are ranked according to seniority, and the greater the credit, the more power they get.

"Don't dare to count on it, I just hope that Mr. Chen won't be too ruthless, and all the things that the United States looks at at home will be cleaned up by you." Bush Sr. laughed, and after speaking, he hung his arm on the back of Chen Xu's neck, and familiarly introduced to Cheng Xu that the negotiators sent by the US side this time were basically important members of the Pentagon, the Department of Defense, and Congress, as well as representatives of the Bell Helicopter Company and General Electric Company.

Chen Xu always couldn't remember the names of people, so he just shook hands with the other party in a formality, and then the two sides sat face to face around the long negotiation table and officially started the negotiation.

The lights in the conference hall are extremely bright, as if to imply that everyone is in the negotiation, there is no secret transaction, and the flowers on the table are freshly picked and put on the table, and you can smell the faint fragrance.

Chen Xu poured a glass of ice Coke into the glass in front of him, and after taking a big sip, he hiccuped and said casually: "The main content of this negotiation has also been discussed, and we agree on most of the contents, the point of disagreement is mainly on the technology introduction of General Electric's F110 high-thrust engine and long-range strategic bomber, and now the United States seems unwilling to transfer these two technologies?" ”

"Mr. Chen, both military high-thrust engines and long-range bombers are core military technologies of the United States, and the transfer of this extremely offensive weapons technology to China gives our government reason to worry that these weapons will threaten the security of the United States in the future." As soon as Chen Xu's words fell, a Pentagon official in a military uniform opened his mouth to retort, saying that in the eyes of the military, it is more about future threats, unlike politicians who need to think about problems comprehensively.

Chen Xu spread his hands and said indifferently: "Threatening the security of the United States? Isn't China an ally of the United States? Instead of worrying about such a meaningless thing as the Chinese threat, the Pentagon would be more appropriate to focus on the Soviet army! ”

Before Chen Xu finished speaking, Chen Weiguo interjected and said strongly: "If the United States is not willing to trade with us, then we will take the technology of V22 to talk to the Soviet Union, I believe that Lao Maozi will be very interested in the electronic technology and material technology on V22, and they will definitely exchange the best bomber and engine technology without hesitation." ”

What Chen Weiguo said was taught by Chen Xu, there must be people who sing red faces and white faces in the venue, Chen Xu is the main negotiation, of course, you can't say that the meeting is dead, in case of an impasse, there will be no one to thaw. can only let the eldest brother be the bad guy, so that even if both sides are embarrassed, Chen Xu can return the meeting to normal as long as he pretends to drink it back.

As soon as Chen Weiguo said this, he really pinched the US side's balls and forcibly held back what the Pentagon officers were going to say next. The V22 technology in China's hands is too advanced, not only the US imperialists covet it, but also the Soviet Union, especially the Soviet Union's electronic technology is not good, if it absorbs the technology on the V22 and develops weapons that are ahead of the times, it will be a disaster for the United States.

The rhythm of the meeting is completely in the hands of Chen Xu, and the United States may not necessarily be in a hurry to eat the technology of V22, but it has to worry about China going to exchange with the Soviet Union, which is what the United States is most worried about!

The Soviets got the V22 technology more seriously than it did for China to get military high-thrust engines and long-range strategic bombers. After all, one is an ally and the other is an enemy, and the Americans weigh it clearly.

"Chen! Let us negotiate calmly, the Soviet Union is an enemy of the United States, and how can it not be a great enemy of China! Since there is a common enemy, it is necessary to cooperate closely, and the most correct choice is to defeat the Soviet Union together. Bush Sr. knocked on the table and brought the pace of the meeting back to the negotiations, he didn't want to repeat the same situation as in the submarine base, where they fought each other, and in the end the United States still paid a lot of planes and warships to get what it wanted. This time, the price offered by the Chinese side was much more polite than it was at the beginning, and the US government could fully afford it, so he just wanted to make a quick decision and call it a day and go home early. Now there is still a group of people in the United States who are trying to assassinate Chen Xu, and if Chen Xu stays in the United States for one more day, the pressure of the US government will be heavy for one day, and it is only right to send this trouble back to China as soon as possible.

"We insist on GE's F110 aero engine, and according to the agreement, GE must share all the technical patents for this type of engine with China, and China can use this engine without restrictions in the future." Chen Xu rubbed his fingers and looked at the representative of General Electric, what he said involved the core interests of General Electric, and people's opinions were still very important.

"F110 is the company's collection of decades of manpower and material resources to develop a military high-thrust engine, to be honest General Electric in the next few decades will have to rely on this engine to eat, if the technology patents are transferred to China, then how can we make money in the future? Besides, the technology of V22 has nothing to do with General Electric, so why should someone else get the benefits, but we have to pay everything. "GE representatives clasped their arms and their faces were full of displeasure, the company suffered the most from this negotiation, and if it was not for national security, GE wanted to refuse to participate in this meeting.

"Mr. Bush, it seems that your internal problems have not been dealt with yet! I don't think it's too late for you to wait until the meeting is over to resolve this kind of benefit distribution issue, I'm not a peacemaker. Chen Xu pinched the soft flesh of his eyebrows, he just wanted to get the aero engine, as for the loss caused by General Electric's payment of engine technology, this is something that needs to be coordinated by the US government, and he doesn't want to help the US government deal with this kind of bad thing at the meeting.

"Mr. Chen, here I would like to ask for General Electric, after China obtains all the technical patents of the F110, will the fighter jets produced in the future be exported to foreign countries?" Bush Sr. is also very helpless about the domestic military industrial enterprises, and obtaining the V22 can indeed benefit the United States a lot, but how to distribute the technology on the aircraft has become a long-standing problem.

GE felt that since they had paid so much, it was reasonable that the technology on the plane should belong to GE, and as for Bell Helicopter, they came up with an experimental model aircraft with no practical value, and even the technology of one of the V22 Osprey's tires was more advanced than it, but it had to account for most of the Osprey's technology.

However, GE's senior management did not have much resistance to selling all the technical patents of the F110, if they could obtain all the technology of the V22. The U.S. military is already discussing that after the Osprey helicopter is put into mass production, it will order at least 600 aircraft of this type, and if General Electric can get this order, then it doesn't matter if it loses all the technology of the F110.

600 aircraft is not only a direct purchase cost, but also the cost of future parts wear, system upgrades, maintenance, etc., which can make GE continue to earn profits, and the company can live a very prosperous life in the next ten years.

Especially in the future, Japan, Nanbangzi, and Europe will also intend to purchase hundreds of Ospreys, and the huge profits behind this have made it impossible for General Electric to give up Ospreys.

Of course, Chen Xu knew the urine nature of those military industrial enterprises of the United States imperialism, so he responded decisively: "Of course, since the Chinese side has bought out all the technical patents of the F110, we can use it as much as we want, even if we buy the engine to the United States in the future, your air force will have to give money according to the price clearly marked!" In the same way, you have taken away the technology of the V22 Osprey, and you can sell it as much as you want, and China will not interfere in any way. (To be continued.) )
