Chapter 545: Second International User
Tahir and his entourage took a look at the headquarters of Tianfeng Technology Company in the morning, and went to the Chengnan base in the afternoon, focusing on the production and manufacturing of drones.
Li Tianfeng is not worried about leaking secrets, on the one hand, the relationship between the two countries is good, and on the other hand, you can't see anything by looking at it like this.
Chengnan base, No. 1 assembly plant.
Seeing the "Black Ghost" drone being assembled, seeing this aircraft at such a close distance, Tahir's mood was very different.
Tahir said: "Mr. Li, the 'Black Ghost' drone is really as beautiful and huge as I see in the media. ”
Li Tianfeng said with a smile: "Our 'Black Ghost' drone is still very advanced, the most advanced and outstanding drone in the world, and its performance is above that of the Global Hawk drone in the United States!" ”
Tahir said: "Yes, this is the best drone!" ”
Around this drone, Tahir looked at it for a long time, and also asked Li Tianfeng a lot of questions about the drone, especially some questions about performance.
asked a lot of questions, and also carefully looked at the assembly of the "Black Ghost" drone, and then, Tahir looked at the huge assembly plant, Tahir said: "Mr. Li, look at the scale of this plant, you are not just developing this drone." ”
Li Tianfeng did not hide it, and said cheerfully: "Of course, we will also develop a series of aircraft in the future, such as fighters, such as large military transport aircraft, etc., and if possible, we will also get involved in the field of civil airliner manufacturing." ”
New fighters will also be developed!
Tahir was very excited, and immediately said: "Mr. Li, you will also develop a new type of fighter!" That's great! How about cooperating with us in R&D? ”
Li Tianfeng smiled, knowing that the other party had taken a fancy to his own strength and wanted to use his own strength to develop a better fighter for the Pakistani side.
Development of an export fighter aircraft, this thing. Li Tianfeng has long thought about it, such a fighter, the performance should be above J-10, F16 and other fighters, but it is slightly worse than F22, T50 and other fourth-generation fighters. Such a performance positioning should have a wide range of markets.
In other words, Li Tianfeng is ready to develop a third-generation fighter, the most outstanding fighter among the third-generation fighters, but a little worse than the fourth-generation fighter, which can sweep all other third-generation fighters.
didn't think about it, someone who was sleepy and took the initiative to send a pillow, and he was thinking about the development of such a fighter, and the other party proposed it. I want to work with myself to develop it.
Of course, Li Tianfeng also knows what the so-called "joint research and development" proposed by Tahir is, and the Pakistani side must only contribute money, and it is impossible to have any technical help, and Tianfeng Technology Company is responsible for all matters related to research and development.
Li Tianfeng said happily: "Mr. Tahir, this joint research and development can be considered. ”
Hearing this, Tahir was also happy and gave Li Tianfeng a thumbs up. "Mr. Li, you are really a friend. Then this matter is decided, and after I return to China, we will talk about the specific details of cooperation. ”
Li Tianfeng knew that Tahir would definitely not be able to make decisions on such a big matter, and he would have to consult the Pakistani high-level officials to make a decision after returning to China.
Li Tianfeng said: "Okay." No problem! ”
Tahir said: "Mr. Li, my initial assumption of this fighter is that its performance will be above the F16, how about it?" Is there a problem? ”
Li Tianfeng said confidently: "There is no problem, this fighter will be the king of the third generation of fighters." Sweep all third-generation fighters! ”
The king of the third generation of fighters!
Tahir was obviously excited, as the chief of staff of the Pakistani Air Force, he fully knew the significance of this fighter, Tahir held Li Tianfeng's hand tightly, and said happily: "Mr. Li, great, too exciting, after I go back, I will personally report this matter to the president." ”
Li Tianfeng smiled, but still reminded: "We can jointly develop it, but this fighter will not only be sold to you, but will be sold to the whole world, how about it?" ”
Tahir hesitated.
Li Tianfeng smiled and said: "Of course, you will be the first users of this fighter, I promise, and at the best price." ”
Tahir's heart was light, the first user, the best price, these two points obviously impressed Tahir.
Tahir smiled and said, "Mr. Li, what is the approximate price of this fighter?" ”
Since it is a widely exported fighter, the cost performance must be extremely high, and if the price is too expensive, it will definitely be greatly discounted, and Li Tianfeng understands this very well.
With Li Tianfeng's technology, he can naturally develop a fighter that is very cost-effective and not expensive at all, so Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Tahir, the price of this fighter is estimated to be between 20 million and 30 million US dollars. ”
It won't be more than 30 million dollars!
Tahir is obviously happy, such a price, really not expensive, very cheap.
The international sales of fighters are generally three models, taking the F16 fighter as an example, the first is to remove scientific research funds, and the price is about 25 million US dollars. The second is the one that includes research funds and sales profits, and the price is about $38 million.
The third type, mainly for countries with relatively weak technical capabilities, is undertaken by fighter manufacturers for the whole life of the fighter maintenance and related technical services, for such countries, the price of F16 fighters is about 50 million US dollars.
Of course, there is also a local tyrant type, which requires the F16 fighter to be fully upgraded and adopt the latest configuration, so that the F16 fighter will be sold for as much as 80 million US dollars.
With the purchase of an F16 fighter for 80 million US dollars, there is only one such country in the world, and that is the United Arab Emirates, a rich country.
Obviously, Li Tianfeng adopted the first model for Pakistan, directly removing the R&D cost, and the selling price did not exceed 30 million US dollars, of course, provided that Pakistan gave sufficient R&D funds.
Major General Wang next to him, as a person from the military, Major General Wang obviously also knows the price of a fighter, and when he saw that it did not exceed 30 million US dollars, Major General Wang was also slightly shocked.
Major General Wang said in disbelief: "Mr. Li, such a cheap price, I can't imagine that this is the king of the third generation of fighters, if such a fighter is really successfully developed, I believe that it will soon seize the entire international fighter arms market." ”
In the international arms market, in terms of fighters, the F16 fighter naturally dominates, and so far, the United States has exported four or five thousand F16 fighters, which is a huge number.
This is a huge piece of cake, Li Tianfeng has long been eyeing the sidelines, and he has long been thinking about developing an export-oriented fighter in his heart.
Tahir's proposal just gave Li Tianfeng an opportunity, and Li Tianfeng thought in his heart that such an export-oriented fighter might be on the development agenda.
At the Chengnan base, Tahir and his entourage looked at the assembly workshop and the assembly of the "Black Ghost" drone, and after returning from the Chengnan base, the two sides signed a formal contract.
Pakistan has ordered five export-oriented "Black Ghost" fighters from Tianfeng Technology Co., Ltd., totaling $1.5 billion.
The contract was signed very smoothly, and the export "Black Ghost" fighter was basically clearly priced, including control systems and basic maintenance and guidance, with a unit price of 300 million US dollars. Of course, if you want to carry out life-cycle maintenance and in-depth technical guidance, it will be more than 300 million US dollars.
Just like the export fighter developed by Tianfeng Technology Company, the fighter sold to Pakistan will sell it for about 20 million US dollars, excluding the cost of research and development. The normal selling price includes R&D expenses and sales profits, and the selling price should be around 40 million US dollars.
The price is slightly more expensive than the F16 fighter, and the performance is much better than the F16 fighter.
A total of five "Black Ghost" drones, the contract was signed, both parties were happy, Li Tianfeng was happy, and Tahir was naturally even happier.
Such an advanced UAV will equip Pakistan's space in the future, and it is conceivable that the air force strength of the entire Pakistan will also rise.
The "Black Ghost" drone is not only a function of reconnaissance, but also has a powerful attack capability, because the drone can carry two ground-to-ground missiles or bombs, in addition, it can also locate the target and guide the attack.
Tahir stood up, held Li Tianfeng's hand tightly, and said happily: "Mr. Li, thank you so much, from now on, we also have the world's most advanced drone." ”
Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Tahir, the friendship between China and Pakistan has been passed down from generation to generation, and I look forward to further cooperation with you. ”
Tahir said: "There is no problem, after I return to China, I will personally report to the president and wait for my good news." ”
The contract was signed, Tahir left Tianfeng Technology Company accompanied by Major General Wang and others of the military, and Li Tianfeng and other senior executives of Tianfeng Technology Company sent everyone to the gate of the company, and watched Tahir and Major General Wang get in the car and leave.
It wasn't until the convoy disappeared into the traffic on Songzhou Avenue that Xu Lilong retracted his gaze, and then said with a happy face: "Boss, are we really ready to start developing export fighters?" ”
Li Tianfeng said: "Of course, the international fighter export market, this is a big cake, we have no reason not to take a bite." ”
Xu Lilong also knew that this was a huge market, and couldn't help but say happily: "Boss, if we enter this market, it will be great!" It's so exciting! ”
After sending off Tahir and his entourage, Li Tianfeng's work focused on the development of a new type of fighter and began to consider the development of this export-oriented fighter.
Undoubtedly, this will be the world's most outstanding third-generation fighter, the king of third-generation fighters, and the design and technical outline of this fighter is ready to be compiled by Li Tianfeng himself.
Li Tianfeng had just thought about the compilation of the technical outline for the design of this export-oriented fighter, and an unprecedented event had occurred in the international arena, which shocked the whole country!
