Chapter 406: We're Interested Too
"If everything is as you said, then Malaysia will naturally be very happy to purchase such a Fc-17, after this defense exhibition, we will go back to apply for a budget from China, hoping to purchase a fleet of about 30 sorties, so I hope it can be cheaper, I don't know what the price of an aircraft will be."
Now Yang Hui's main task is to pull one side to invest in FC-17 countries, as for the purchase of FC-17, it is placed in the back, as long as this aircraft is successfully developed, it will definitely receive a large number of orders, and the orders for the domestic army alone should not be less than three hundred.
This also leads to the fact that Southwest Science and Industry has not given a clear price to FC-17, and the low order will not only make no money, but also affect the sales of J-74 in recent years, and the biggest highlight of FC-17 will be lost if the price is high, "cost performance".
"For the price of FC-17, in fact, we have different price points, naturally these prices are high and low, we Southwest Science and Industry still very much hope to sell to friends in Malaysia at a lower price, it depends on whether Malaysian friends are willing to accept our goodwill."
The first time I heard that the seller would want to sell to the buyer at a low price, this is a rare thing, and these Malaysian visiting groups are a little ignorant of the situation, but fortunately, they are the elites of various countries, and the world has seen it, and then they sorted out their mood.
Only then did he wonder with twenty points of confusion: "Then may I ask at what low price can Southwest Science and Industry sell us this fighter, and do we need to pay any price?" ”
As a country's defense minister, he still has no hope for such a thing as pie in the sky. At least there is still understanding, and I directly asked what the price of Malaysia needs to pay.
But how could Yang Hui pit a potential stock? In the future, Malaysia will also be the number one person in the entire southeast region. Especially after the development in the 90s, isn't the procurement of military equipment high-level and large-scale? Now it's time to build a good image.
"Where. We don't need Malaysia to pay any additional price, our military purpose has always been one sentence: purely commercial conduct, absolutely no political conditions attached, we have always pursued a policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. The only thing that needs to be done in Malaysia is to get the deposit in advance, we need to use this money to invest in research and development, our country's military funds are tight, and we need to think of more ways for our research and development units! ”
At this time, there is no need to coax and deceive, and the fact that the military is only willing to invest 40 percent of its R&D funds will certainly not be able to contain fire in future cooperation. It's better to say it now, and the impact on Malaysia is not too big anyway.
Although it costs a lot of money to develop an aircraft, as Yang Hui previously introduced, the aircraft is developed using some mature technologies to develop quickly, and it does not require too much investment in research and development.
In addition, Malaysia also knows that the company Southwest Science and Industry has made many achievements in the international arms market in recent years, and it is guessed that a high-quality company like Southwest Science and Industry will definitely not be short of money.
"Oh! It turns out that this is the case, as long as we are sure to purchase this FC-17 fighter in China. Paying a 20% deposit in advance is certainly not less. By the way, you haven't said what the price of this aircraft is, and after knowing this, I will return to China to apply for a budget from China. ”
When I heard this, I was still asking about the price of the plane, and I didn't understand what I meant. Yang Hui only estimated a rough price first.
"According to our preliminary estimates, the FC-17 will not sell for more than US$15 million a unit, if Malaysia is willing to invest directly in the development of this aircraft. Spread a certain percentage of R&D expenses, and this price can be lower. ”
Seeing that Malaysia still doesn't understand what it means. Yang Hui can only say more directly, but this exposes the problem of insufficient funds in Southwest Science and Industry. This stunned the Malaysian side.
"You mean that you are going to be prepared for us Malaysia to directly contribute a certain percentage of R&D funds, and you want us Malaysia to be directly involved in the research and development of aircraft? I think this is a bit difficult, is it because you still have a big gap in funds? ”
Yang Hui looked at Malaysia's reaction and knew that it would be difficult for Malaysia to invest a large amount of money, and even Yang Hui only needed to say "There is indeed a big gap" now, and I am afraid that the general intention just now will turn into nothingness in a blink of an eye, and Yang Hui can only answer in a virtual way.
"We do have some funding gaps, about 60 percent, we hope that Malaysia can participate in the project to share part of the pressure, now only Malaysia needs to share 20 percent is enough, the rest by our Southwest Science and Industry to find a way, as long as this 20 percent is determined, we can even trade compensation in the future,."
Yang Hui didn't dare to take risks now, he was afraid that he would scare Malaysia away, so he had no choice but to lighten the burden for Malaysia and reduce it again, and even gave trade compensation.
As the name suggests, 'trade compensation' means that after Malaysia has invested money in the research and development of FC-17, it will place some purchase orders for Malaysia in various subsequent projects to purchase Malaysian things to balance Malaysia's funds for supporting the research and development of FC-17.
To put it simply, it is used in Southwest Science and Industry here, which means that in the future, the Southwest Science and Technology Union will purchase some parts and components produced in Malaysia for the production of aircraft in Southwest Science and Industry, which needs to return the investment that has been pulled from Malaysia with great difficulty, and the only advantage is that you can now get the much-needed funds and get the FC-17 purchase order in Malaysia.
Just after Yang Hui gave a series of preferential measures, the Malaysian group began to ponder, and it can be seen that Yang Hui's trade compensation plan is still quite tempting.
And while the four of them were thinking in Malaysia, different voices came from again, interrupting the rare silence.
"We are willing to participate in the development of this aircraft, Brazil is willing to bear the next 40% of the development costs, and send technical personnel to participate in the development of the aircraft, we do not need trade compensation, just like Egypt got the production rights on the L8 trainer aircraft, we Brazil also have the production rights of FC-17!"
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and like the dawn coming, although this short sentence is not too long, it is so sonorous and powerful, so firm and steadfast.
Yang Hui didn't care what the expression of the Malaysian side here was, and directly turned to look at the Brazilians who just spoke, at this time, Brazil that can propose to bear the remaining 40% of the research and development cost is the main one, with Brazil to bear the 40% of the research and development cost, it doesn't matter whether Malaysia is willing to bear the 20% cost, it's a big deal that the Southwest Branch bears the remaining 20%.
"Oh, Brazil's friends are interested in our FC-17? Come on, let's go inside and talk about it in detail, if there is any problem, we will go inside and sit down and talk slowly, everything is easy to discuss. ”
With a smile, he beckoned this team of Brazilians to go inside, and began to talk with this team of Brazilians through the translator, only to know that Brazil has long had the intention of upgrading the current World Cargo fighters, and this time it is to prepare for a deep exchange with the Republic, and it is said that the other team of people who came with them have already discussed cooperation with the Republic Space System.
Now Yang Hui has a bottom in his heart, it seems that Brazil is prepared this time, at least Brazil does have its own ideas, which is much better than Malaysia.
Just when Yang Hui and the Brazilian team walked to the negotiation room in the exhibition hall, the Malaysian side woke up like a dream, looked at the beautiful FC-17 on the side, and thought of the conditions given by Yang Hui and the prelude to the current 'arms race' in Southeast Asia, and fiercely beckoned his subordinates to follow inside.
