The Iraqis are smart enough to announce the procurement plan that has already been decided in advance, but it is just a gesture of effort, but in exchange for completely blocking the path of the Iranian Air Force to purchase aircraft, which is a good thing that does not need to be considered at all.

"Okay, we can place an order now, the first batch of forty over seven, plus the intention order of sixty aircraft, we can finalize the contract together this time."

If it is peacetime, we can discuss it again, try to lower the price as much as possible, and learn more about the performance of the aircraft, but now that Iraq is at war, everything is simple.

Yang Hui and a few others explained, and then walked into the conference room with the purchasing team, and needed to discuss the specific situation.

Waves of tourists from outside passed until the end of the first day of the air show, and although both parties were very sincere and the progress was unprecedentedly fast, they still could not preliminarily negotiate the procurement contract.

During the four-day air show, Yang Hui talked with the Iraqi side for three days before the contract was preliminarily negotiated.

Looking at the contract text that has been revised many times, each point of the dozens of pages of the contract is the hard work of both parties for three days of overtime, and now it is necessary to take advantage of the last day of the air show to announce the procurement news to be exciting.

Standing up and rubbing his temples, Yang Hui cheered up again and said tiredly.

"So be it, after the preliminary contract is drawn up, we will announce the purchase news today, and then we will discuss some details, and within three months, our first aircraft will definitely be delivered off the assembly line."

Walking out of the conference room, the reporters outside were already like sharks smelling fishy, and they had already received the news the day after the negotiations began.

These were naturally revealed by Yang Hui to his entourage, and this is what he wants now.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, I would like to ask if this procurement project is as advertised. Purchases of up to $200 million? ”

Yang Hui looked at the reporter who asked him, and felt that this was really fate, and he met the reporter of Jane's Defense Weekly again, and it seemed that he was destined to move towards a bright future with Jane's.

As for whether the amount involved is the $200 million announced to the public, this is not a difficult matter.

Draw out the leader of the Iraqi procurement team standing next to him, and now he needs to stand up and announce the procurement news.

"How much money is involved in this purchase. I would like to ask General Abdul, head of the Air Force Procurement Carte Purpuree from Iraq, to announce that I am confident that you will get the information you need. ”

Abdul is also simple, no nonsense, and goes straight to the point: "That's right, our procurement project this time includes a total of 50 Jianjiao-7A supersonic combat training aircraft, with a unit price of 5 million US dollars and a total contract amount of 250 million US dollars." ”

There are not many words, just a few dozen words, but it is revealed that there are too many things to write about. There's so much stuff to dig into.

The commotion was not over, Abdul smiled contemptuously, brother has more exciting news that has not yet been announced, this is shocking? No, cough twice, press down with both hands in the void, signal for quiet below, and there is something to say later.

The quality of journalists in Western countries is high. Although there is inevitably some artistic processing when the final manuscript is published, it is quite dedicated when collecting news materials.

Calm down. With an expression of curiosity, he waited for Abdul to announce the news one after another.

The scene was under control, and Abdul began to speak: "There is another order, which we will also announce now." ”

While talking, Abdul walked to the middle of the booth next to the J-74 model, pointing to the model and announcing.

"At the same time, we have also confirmed the purchase plan for this newly designed Super 7 fighter. A total of 40 aircraft were ordered in the first batch, and there are 60 follow-up intent orders, with a unit price of $6 million. ”

Hearing this news, the entire team of reporters was quiet, and the fifty Jianjiao 7A just announced were already a big dark horse at this air show.

Now there are forty more than 40 Super Seven confirmed orders. Sixty intent orders, adding up to hundreds of orders, this is the biggest winner of this Paris Air Show.

The confirmed orders for this air show alone add up to 500 million, and which military aircraft manufacturer has won such a large order?

Just when everyone is still digesting this big news, there are always people who want to jump out and make a big splash.

"Now that Iraq and Iran are at war, is it a violation of international regulations for you to sell such a large batch of military equipment to Iraq?"

Originally, it was tacitly understood by everyone to make a fortune from the war, but now it is indeed a bit embarrassing for this ignorant rookie reporter to raise this question.

Yang Hui has already had antibodies to this kind of problem, isn't it just an excuse? Simple, gave Abdul a reassuring look, and randomly uttered a jaw-dropping explanation.

"This order was set long before the start of the Iran-Iraq war, when we sold a total of 300 J-7 basic aircraft, and due to the start of the war, we postponed deliveries. Now that the ceasefire trend between the two sides is obvious, we have decided to fulfill the order and upgrade the basic model of the J-7 to the current new model, so naturally the price needs to be renegotiated. ”

This is really a lame reason, but it is really difficult to refute it below, and now the Iran-Iraq battlefield is indeed tending to a ceasefire, and it is understandable that the pre-war orders are now delivered.

As for whether there was this order before the war, there is really no way to confirm it, but it really can't be Yang Hui can go back to China immediately to make up for it, who can say this kind of thing.

Not only that, but the peace-loving Yang Hui decided not to be an arms dealer and wanted peace rather than war.

Yang Hui, who is righteous and awe-inspiring, is upright: "Here, I officially declare that I will never sell military aviation aircraft to belligerents during the war, and call on all military aircraft manufacturing colleagues to act together to defend peace." ”

When the reporters below heard this, they all felt really blushing, and they proposed to let the arms dealers who made a lot of war money defend peace, which is probably the biggest joke in the world.

In the joke, he looked aside the unhappiness brought by the rookie reporter just now, and Abdul was also very satisfied with Yang Hui's statement, after the order for Iraq was confirmed, China would not sell aviation products to the Iran-Iraq battlefield, which meant that there would be no more possibility of exporting fighter planes to Iran.

Abdul immediately echoed Yang Hui's caliber and repeated to make his position clear.

"That's right, now that we have begun to engage with Iran, we have full sincerity, the Middle East needs peace, not war, and Iraq needs to maintain the basic strength that can resist the Iranian air force, which is a strong guarantee for promoting peace."

Yes, now that both the buyer and the seller have begun to talk about peace, there is no need to listen to it anymore, just know that a big deal has been signed and there is news material.

Slowly the reporters finally dispersed, and the tired two sides began to go back to rest, although it was noon, but Yang Hui still returned to the small hotel where he stayed to sleep, and Yang Hui did not plan to personally inquire about the aftermath of the rest of the booth.

Also at the Paris Air Show, there was another group of people, looking at the news they just got, and they had a new understanding of this aircraft manufacturer from China.

"Flory, what do you think of this company, in just three years, this is the second time they have participated in the Paris Air Show, the last time they didn't even have a booth, they began to enter the international market by selling the model airplanes they developed, and this time they won a total of $490 million in orders, the ability is definitely good, you can choose them as a partner?"
