Seeing that the leaders and bosses have sat down, the little soldiers and young generals of Marconi Company are finally relieved, if the vice president is really leaving, this negotiation is really very likely to collapse.

Positioning the radar as a radar for second-generation fighters, there are too many options available to the Republican side, American, French, and even Italian. The radar order was taken away by others, so even if this project got all the other purchased equipment, it could not be regarded as a victory.

Spey

George, who sat down, thought for a long time, and slowly said Spey's two self, and his voice dragged on for a long time. Everyone knows what George is thinking.

After thinking for a few minutes, George began to speak.

"I'm not the vice president of Ferenti, nor am I the official in charge of technology exports from the Ministry of Defense, so I can only help you contact China immediately, and I also hope to successfully sign the new radar contract."

What George said doesn't seem to be a fraud, and on the issue of export technology, he is really not qualified to make a decision.

After summing up with others, Chief Engineer Yu expressed his understanding that in order to save time, while waiting for news from the UK, the negotiation team continued to discuss other projects.

"Yes, then we will wait for the reply from the British side, and ask Mr. George to convey a message: If we can't introduce technology, then we will definitely not use this radar to install a new machine."

While waiting, I first received information from the British Ministry of Defense: in principle, there is no objection to normal technology transactions.

If you don't object, you agree, and it's not just the Republic that is happy to hear this, but also the British Ferenti Company, the current Ferenti Company is not living well, and it is naturally happy to have a windfall, you must know that the current Ferenti Company is actually in the same situation as the Rolls-Royce Company in the seventies.

The Blue Fox radar developed by Ferenti with money can only recover the development cost. The Sea Harrier failed to intercept Argentina's Super Flag in the Battle of the Falklands, which made the outside world almost not optimistic about the performance of the Blue Fox radar.

The Blue Female Fox radar that is now under development is even more bumpy, requiring ultra-high performance, resulting in high development costs and high technical risks for the new radar. The Blue Female Fox radar began to be developed after the Falklands naval battle, and it was not until 94 years that it was successfully developed, which spanned more than 10 years.

It is not the first time that the Ferenti company, which also came to the republic, negotiated the introduction of avionics technology for the J-7M fighter, including the subsystem of the Ferenti company.

Negotiations began again, this time it was not an ordinary conference room that could be accommodated, and the personnel of the Ferenti company who came over, together with the person in charge sent by the army, could only find a larger conference room, or it should be called an auditorium.

A new round of negotiations began, and the smiling Ferenti company personnel and Marconi negotiators walked in together.

Yang Hui and Prince Sultan sat in the second row together, neither too far in front of them to hinder the negotiations, nor too far away to see the real-time progress of the negotiations.

The first hand in this negotiation is naturally on the Ferenti company, and the Ferenti company does not dare to open his mouth too much, but for 350,000 US dollars, the purchase of 150 sets of blue fox technology will never agree to this condition, and now Ferenti's president Evan already has his idea.

"This time you want to buy our Blue Fox radar technology, we agree in principle, the only problem is that there are still some problems with the purchase price. Our bottom line is a technical buyout price of 30 million US dollars, and what you get for 30 million is not only the Blue Fox Radar, I believe you also know the relationship between this radar and the wave radar. ”

The purchase of such a radar for 30 million US dollars is simply too hurtful, and the purchase price estimated by Chief Engineer Yu is only 10 million, and this still includes the funds for the production line.

"No, this radar technology is worth 30 million? If you still have such an idea, then we should conclude this negotiation now, and save everyone's time. The UK is not the only country that produces radar, and you are definitely not the only company that is willing to sell technology."

It seems that the negotiations will be concluded at the same time, which seems to be a real joke. Ferenti, based on his previous experience, knew that the Republic was now a poor man who was unscrupulous, and that it was impossible to ask for that amount of money, so he lowered the price.

"Okay, in view of your lack of funds, let's reduce it symbolically, and change it to 20 million US dollars, but you can't export this radar when you produce it, you can only use it yourself, of course, you still have to order 150 sets of radars in advance, and only when the order for this 150 sets of radars arrives, we will transfer the technology."

Sure enough, there is sincerity, this is directly a symbolic reduction of one-third of the price, if you are serious, you don't know that it can be reduced to that level, but 20 million funds are too high.

Hurriedly shook his head, this condition is still unacceptable, this is obviously still not good, 20 million, it is still a serious overrun, and it must be seen some down,

"No, 20 million is still not good, we can even meet the 150 sets of radars you said, and we have to reduce it if we think about 20 million alone, we can't afford this high price. You must know that our project does not have the support of the state, and if we want to come up with funds, we can only contribute money from R&D funds, and 20 million US dollars will definitely not be squeezed out. ”

Ferenti originally thought that this project was still a national project and could be played like Spey, but now it is only a private project, and it is really difficult to think of this fund.

If you can't make a windfall, then you can earn the funds you deserve, and 20 million finally changed to Ferenti's final heart.

"Well, it's only fifteen million dollars, and this definitely can't be reduced. It's already the last price in our hearts. ”

Then there were several temptations, but it was obvious that the offer of 15 million had never been lowered, and it seemed that this was really the final bottom line of the United Kingdom.

Chief Engineer Yu hurriedly changed his approach: "Okay, we won't reduce the price, but we must have a latest-type production line, and at the same time, we also need the core fire control code of the radar, and there are not so many orders for one hundred and fifty sets of products, at most fifty sets, and we can also sell them to the outside world." ”

The four conditions are still worth five million dollars, and just one hundred sets of radars can save at least two million dollars, not to mention the cost of a production line, in general, it is okay and worth it.

Naturally, it is not only the Republic that can calculate accounts, but also the British, and they can calculate quite accurately, directly calculating the value of the four conditions.

"No, this can't work, there is only one production line for the entire Blue Fox Radar, and it is given to you. So what do we use, this will not work. ”

What's not to do, it's just shirking.

"What's this, your Blue Fox radar has already been produced, and the production line is just an overhaul line, and these can be completed on the wave overhaul line."

"As soon as Yang Hui finished speaking, Chief Master Yu made up for it again, you all know that this radar is already lagging behind, so what's the use of the exclusive export right left, it's better to hand it over to us together."

Having said all this, Evan didn't say anything more, that's it, the production line is not for sale and put it there, it won't have a little effect.

"Okay, that's what you said, but then you have to be good for us to sign a contract at next year's Farnborough Air Show, and we must also produce those fifty radars before handing over the production line."
