Bidding farewell to the negotiating team, we went to the corporate headquarters of Northrop, the main American aircraft manufacturer. The San Diego-based aircraft manufacturer had a rough start to the company. Northrop founded the company three times, and after several cycles of the company being acquired and bankruptcy, it finally came to fruition.

Now I see the headquarters of this large company with a history of several decades, which stands out from the crowd and is generally built in a large car parking center, just look at these cars, and know that this should be a means of transportation for the employees of Northrop Company, which shows that this company is indeed more than a grade better than the base.

In '85, Northrop had not merged with Grumman, acquired Lytton Industries, Newport News Shipyard, TRW, and none of the companies that Northrop dared to imagine, and the world's third-largest defense company at the peak of its later generations still has a bleak future.

Although the founder of the company, John. Northrop has been working on the flying wing layout aircraft, where Northrop has been engaged in hot research, and has the official code name B2.

But Northrop's fighter business is shrinking further, and the F20, which the company finally invested in fighter jets, is not as hot as the F5 as expected.

Northnop's current president, Rhett, already has a new plan, and Ryan has no confidence in the F20 facing the competition of the F16, but he has seen a product called Southwest Airlines United Company: an aircraft named Super J-7.

A new idea emerged and went out of control, ever since the company was contacted. There was no news for three days in a row, which made Red very confused. Last night, however, something new had emerged, and the company had sent a secretary-general with full authority to inquire about cooperation.

So Rhett waited in his own office early in the morning. Although you are the president, you must not care about this identity now, and such an important matter must be discussed by yourself.

"Bring this gentleman to my office, I need to have an in-depth conversation with him."

Putting down the phone, Ryan tidied up his dress, trying to give people a solemn and serious feeling, and then pretended to start handling official business, in fact, he was still silently waiting for Yang Hui.

Yang Hui on the other side was also taken into the elevator until he walked into the door of the president's office of Northrop Company. The staff who led Yang Hui to come knocked on the door. Yang Hui saw Ryan, the current president of Northrop, a middle-aged man who was thirty years old and approaching forty years old, and he looked quite serious.

Ryan greeted first: "Hello, I'm Ryan, President of Northrop Corporation, and this time I will talk to you about some things that you still don't understand, so as to enhance the possibility of success in our cooperation." ”

This is an attitude of wanting to cooperate, Yang Hui also responded with a smile, and introduced himself and what the purpose of his visit this time was.

Entering the topic, Yang Hui asked first: "Mr. Ryan." We want to know why your company will choose us as a partner, you know that there are more suitable partners in our country than us. ”

Yang Hui meant something, and naturally he was saying that I was a great Fengtiansuo, at least in the 80s, Fengtian was a beautiful business card in the aviation manufacturing industry of the Republic.

Listened to Yang Hui's questions. Ryan also replied very sincerely: "It's simple, your super seven is in line with our positioning, as for your country's Fengtian." They're not really that good, and they're hooked up with McDonnell Douglas now. ”

For the first time in the United States, I heard about the Peace Pearl Project. It sounds like McDonnell Douglas and Mukden are progressing quite quickly, and this is the first useful news I got when I came to Northrop.

Write it down silently in your mind. Only then did he begin to ask the second question: "You said that only our company's Super Seven is in line with your positioning, I want to know that you now also have an aircraft that overlaps a lot with our Super Seven positioning, what are you going to do with the F20 fighter." ”

Ryan is not surprised that Southwest Airlines United knows that his company has invested in the F20, otherwise Northrop's promotion of the F20 over the years would have been problematic.

is about to talk about the issue of F20, and Ryan is also happy to Yang Hui to bring the topic to F20.

"F20 is a very good aircraft, there will be no disadvantage in frontal hard resistance to F16, the disadvantage of F20 is only in the range, in air combat, F20 can even guide medium-range guidance, which is compared to"

Seeing that Ryan was about to start blowing the F20, Yang Hui was tired of it for a long time, what is there to say, no matter how good it is, it can't change the fact that the F20 was abused by the F16 on the order, it has been several years, and still not receiving an order is the market's response to this aircraft.

"With all due respect, the F20 is not showing the market competitiveness that you expected, and one more thing: we are not interested in the F20, I just want to know what you are going to do with the F20, which is in conflict with our Super Seven, if we want to cooperate, and that's the point."

Yang Hui was impatient, and Ryan stopped blowing about how good the F20 was, anyway, Ryan knew that the F20 battle surpassed the super seven in terms of performance, and other questions would be discussed later.

began to introduce Ryan's careful thoughts, which was also a plan that Ryan had prepared for a long time: "We don't plan to give up on F20, our opinion is to merge with your Super Seven project, and give F20 the name Super Seven, so that our F20 can enter service in your country, and even we can transfer the technical part to you for production and assembly." ”

The more he listened, the more outrageous it became, and when he heard Northrop's plan to steal the beam and change the pillar, Yang Hui almost walked away, but reason told him that it was not suitable for him to do so now.

Holding back the resentment in his heart, thinking of the Yun Shi plane that was also killed by this trick in the later generations, Yang Hui made up his mind that no matter what happened this time, he must destroy Northrop's tricks, Yun Shi I can't control it and don't want to take care of it, but now that it's on the super seven, I can't bear it anymore.

"Mr. Ryan, what you said may be able to fool Mukden and the Modu Aircraft Factory, and the temptation of such a plan is indeed great. Now McDonnell Douglas has used the same tactics to get our country's Cloud Ten plane off the horse, but we are not blind. I can honestly tell you that our Super Seven is going very well and there is no need to cheat with the F20. ”

After saying that, Yang Hui was ready to leave, there is nothing to talk about now, Northrop's idea is very good, nominally it is to cooperate with the base to make super seven, but in fact, he plans to dismount super seven, and then put F20 on top.

This is a copy of the Yun Shi Xia Ma plan, but it is more secretive, but this does not change the facts: that is, F20 wants to replace Super Seven.

Seeing that the secretary general sent by Huaguo Company said so resolutely, he also knew in his heart that his plan would not work, and it seemed impossible to repeat McDonnell Douglas's strategy again.

Countless grass Nima in my heart: McDonnell Douglas, you are damn by God, we have a feud against each other, take away my F18 and write it down for the time being, now you have a Yun Ten and make such a big fanfare, now your goal has been achieved, what should I do with my F20 now?

If the first plan can't be recognized, then start the second plan, or be honest, as long as you can recover some of the initial investment in F20.

Hurriedly stood up to save the angry Yang Hui, this really can't run away angrily: "Hey, Mr. Yang, you wait first, we have other options." What I'm talking about is just a plan, we still have a lot of plans, we can discuss it if we are not satisfied, don't get excited. ”

Take it easy? Yang Hui can not be excited when encountering this kind of thing, and this Northrop can not be excited about treating us as fools.

But when I think about it, I seem to be a little too excited just now, which is not the mentality that the future head of a large company should have.

Well, then listen to what other "pies" Northrop has, Yang Hui plans to break them one by one today, maybe he can learn some tricks to make "pies", then it is not in vain to come by himself, maybe there will be unexpected gains. (To be continued......)
