As expected, Yang Hui contacted Northrop's senior management in the United States by phone as soon as he received the news, and as soon as the phone was connected, the roar from Northrop Company shook people's eardrums.

Since it was now Yang Hui who took the initiative to find Northrop to solve the problem, he couldn't hold back for the time being, but he had to interrupt the roar on the other side and leave a sentence to make Northrop stop all kinds of attacks like a spring breeze.

After half a minute of silence: "Well, I will personally come to negotiate this project, and we must negotiate a satisfactory result, otherwise we will never give up." ”

This is why Yang Hui used all kinds of time to conceive and improve his entire plan when discussing various details with FC-17 investors in the imperial capital, and it is best to achieve three carvings in one piece, which is a good plan to maximize the benefits of the entire FC-17 project.

Northrop came quite quickly, after all, it was such a big international cooperation project, and there were so many confirmed buyers, and God would never forgive him if he didn't get involved in the opportunity.

Chartered a business jet overnight, flew directly from the headquarters of Northrop across the Pacific Ocean to the imperial capital of the republic, and rushed to the hotel where Yang Hui was staying along the way, and knocked on Yang Hui's room directly without having time to say anything.

Seeing that Northrop's president Ron had arrived, Yang Hui looked at the time and found that this was just twenty hours, and Northrop's speed of action was indeed fast enough, and he also felt from his heart that Northrop attached great importance to this project, and this time it was necessary to make a decision.

"It's not too early, doesn't President Ron need to be jet lag? It's nine o'clock in the evening here. This private time is protected by law in the United States. Presumably Northrop isn't the kind of company that takes up other people's private time at will, right? ”

Yang Hui was joking at this time, anyway, Yang Hui is not in a hurry now. The specific issue can be discussed tomorrow, but Northrop can't wait for a long time, and he came all the way because the matter is urgent!

glanced at Yang Hui helplessly, and the meaning was naturally self-evident: "It's all at your level, which one of the two sides is not clear, I don't think this kind of joke is funny, it's better to get down to business, how do you plan to deal with the problems of both of us, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate the exclusion of Northrop in the entire FC-17 project." ”

Hear Ron's words. Yang Hui smiled indifferently, to say that Yang Hui really doesn't have any plans to add a Northrop in the FC-17 project now, everyone is a radish and a pit, and how can he be the next Northrop in Rongrong.

In desperation, Yang Hui could only tell the truth, hoping that Northrop would be in the mood to continue listening, and finally see the rainbow as he wished.

"Let's talk about the entire FC-17 project first, the four investors of this project are all to purchase aircraft, and the project contractor is our Southwest Science and Industry. This is already an agreement signed three days ago, and I have consulted with Sifang Investment in advance about the idea of joining Northrop as a contractor, and they all said that they could not accept it. ”

I hurried to hear such an answer. Ron couldn't suppress the anger in his heart at all, he had to vent it, the big deal was that the two sides broke up.

"That's how you deal with it? If only that's it. Then the cooperation between Northrop and your company will come to an end, and I believe that as long as we at Northrop are determined to suppress this project. Other international aviation giants will respond with a supportive attitude, facing a share of hundreds of flights. We at Northrop can even pick up the F20 project from scratch. ”

After saying that, Ron slapped the table and was about to leave, it seemed that he was going to go out and arrange various follow-up methods, which scared Yang Hui, did Northrop take the gun or what's the matter, just a little bit.

If Northrop is let go at this time, won't there be no way to implement the various items of Yang Hui's plan later? For the sake of profit, Yang Hui hurriedly stood up to stop Ron from leaving.

"Alas, don't be in a hurry, we can't directly participate in the current project research and development, but we can find ways in other aspects, Southwest Science and Industry is willing to lose some of its own interests for the friendship with Northro!"

Hearing himself say this, Yang Hui himself felt blushing, and unconsciously, why did his face become so thick? What a model of how the environment changes people!

And with Yang Hui's divine turn, Ron also temporarily stopped the pace of leaving, and after thinking about it, he turned around and looked at Yang Hui carefully, he wanted to see what cards had not been played by Southwest Science and Industry.

"Then what other plan do you have to let Northrop participate in the FC-17 project, and what kind of sacrifice method is the interest of your Southwest Science and Industry, I am suddenly curious now."

Seeing that Northrop was temporarily appeased by himself, Yang Hui didn't want to be more hypocritical, and said bluntly, whether the last Northrop was willing or not, it depended on whether Northrop had this vision.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, he felt a refreshing fragrance, and it was time to speak: "The research and development of the entire FC-17 has been decided, even if we Southwest Science and Industry want to pull Northrop in again, it is impossible, which means a huge amount of liquidated damages." In view of the fact that we need to take into account Northrop's interests, we can compensate Northrop for the production and subsequent life-cycle maintenance of the FC-17. ”

This is Yang Hui's plan, the profitability of an aircraft is not only research and development, but also the logistics maintenance of decades after the fighter is sold, which is the biggest profit point of an aircraft.

It is not insincere for Yang Hui to give such generous conditions, but in Northrop's view, it is completely unfeasible, and it is completely unrealistic to let Northrop be responsible for the manufacturing and overhaul of FC-17's logistics spare parts.

"Wait, this method is definitely not what you should say, the entire FC-17 is a low-cost third-generation fighter for third world countries, requiring low life-cycle use costs, and you don't know the high labor costs in the United States, this kind of project that requires a lot of man-hours can make money in your opinion, but in our Northrop opinion, it is like chicken ribs!"

Ron is an authentic American, so he naturally speaks so directly, and will not beat around the bush at all, and directly points out the key to this plan, but does Yang Hui really not take into account this kind of problem?

I'm afraid that's not the case, in Yang Hui's plan, he never wanted the Yankees to be directly responsible for the later life of the FC-17 full-life flight support, the Yankees are now high in labor costs, so let's not do these jobs in the United States, not all countries have high labor costs.

waved his hand, and then offered the second serial plan: "The high labor cost in the United States is not a problem, and there are many underdeveloped countries in the Americas, such as Latin America." And in Latin American countries, there are still one or two companies that have a little bit of an aviation industry base, for example, Brazil has a state-owned Embraer, and I heard that Brazil is now considering taking this company private and selling it. ”

Having said that, Yang Hui's plans have begun to surface, and the entire FC-17 project has been jointly funded by the Republic of China's military, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Brazil, and Brazil's Embraer will also get a production line because of Brazil's large investment in the entire project.

This is an opportunity, Embraer has the FC-17 production line, then other activities such as providing the FC-17 fighter aircraft for life-cycle maintenance are not a piece of cake, as long as Northrop is willing to spend money to buy the company in the privatization process of Embraer, everything is no longer a problem.

Yang Hui's move can be said to be the best compensation plan that Northrop has thought of, but will Northrop's side really agree with this plan? It is important to know that Northrop came to FC-17 to make money, not to spend a lot of money to buy a down-and-out aviation manufacturing company that looks bleak. (To be continued.) )
