Chapter 1126 A Big Business (Three Watches, Three Watches)
It is impossible not to alarm the leaders at the top for such a big matter.
When the leaders above learned the news that Lin Hongfei took all the things he used for patents to invest in the United States, they must ask: Such a good thing, why is Lin Hongfei not investing in our country, he must go to the United States?
How will the military explain it then? said that the cooperation conditions he offered were too harsh, and Lin Hongfei and Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. couldn't stand the conditions of the military's near-plunder, so they had to go away to invest? Even if the military can find other excuses and reasons, don't the leaders above know about the investigation? The results of the investigation were not the same, because the military wanted to snatch things from Lin Hongfei and Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., so Lin Hongfei had no choice but to go away to invest......
The problem is a big deal, this time it's a complete big deal!
By now, it is no longer a question of Lin Hongfei investing in the United States, but the problem has become the stupidity of the army, because some people are clever and have long been preparing to find a suitable opportunity to burn the fire of the army...... Looking at the expressions of those military generals, they looked ugly as if they were dead children, and you can see how serious the matter is.
Regret it, can you not regret it when things come to this extent? But what's the use of regretting?
Especially those generals who were tempted in at the beginning, looking at the expressions of She Jizhong, Wang Jianguang and Zheng Zhi, general manager of the Ordnance Industry Corporation and secretary of the party committee of the group, it was like looking at the enemy who killed his father: Nima! If it weren't for the fact that you two bastards desperately want money, even if a very different condition was offered, what would have come to this?
Now, even if he wants to revise a new condition, even if it is favorable to Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Lin Hongfei...... Lin Hongfei went to the United States, invested and discussed with US Secretary of State Christophe about the special car, which was done on the bright side. In fact, he used this way to complain to the central leadership: Look at me, what kind of bullying I have become, can't you provoke me to hide?
This is simply a gesture of refusal to engage further with the military.
Finally, She Jizhong sighed, "Continue to keep in touch with Comrade Lin Hongfei...... Comrade Lin Hongfei has made such dazzling achievements at a young age, and he is a little proud and understandable, and we must learn a lesson in this regard. ”
Yes, one thing that could have become a big trouble has become another flavor in She Jizhong's mouth: Comrade Lin Hongfei is young and vigorous. We don't know enough about this point, that's why this misunderstanding happened, but it doesn't matter, negotiations, always talk slowly to be successful.

When the phone of the Ministry of Defense found Lin Hongfei. Lin Hongfei's plane was already in the sky, and he asked Cao Jun to push it off under the pretext that he was resting. Cao Jun still couldn't hold back. He asked his boss, "Boss, what happened this time...... Will it cause some trouble for our company? ”
"Not at all," Lin Hongfei shook his head, "this is business negotiations, and the military and the military industrial system fight for their own interests." No one can say anything about this, as long as it doesn't end up tearing the face, it's not a big deal...... When the military and Daimler talked about the project of introducing their heavy-duty trucks, didn't it take more than ten years to succeed? In the field of military industry, it is too normal for a project to drag on for more than ten years. ”
Regarding this problem, Lin Hongfei looked at it very openly.
"But they are bullying others, if it were not for the rights given by the country and the people in their hands, would they dare to do this to us?" Cao Jun was still unconvinced.
"You're really right, they only dare to do this because of the rights given by the people in their hands," Lin Hongfei shook his head with a smile, after such a long time, the anger in Lin Hongfei's heart has dissipated a lot, he patted Cao Jun's shoulder, and said confidently, "Don't worry, the east is not bright and the west is bright, the flowers bloom outside the wall and the wall is fragrant, I said let them beg us, then they will definitely be asked to kneel on the ground and beg us!" ”
Calm down, Lin Hongfei also knew that his decision was too impulsive, not only is it likely to have immeasurable consequences for his company, but it will even have a huge impact on the old man in his family, but Lin Hongfei is such a person, since he has made his decision, he will definitely not regret it...... He also firmly believes that difficulties are only temporary, and when he makes achievements in the United States, it is when some people are ugly and bear criticism, and then he has the same opportunity.
Similarly, this is also a good opportunity for himself, Lin Hongfei is really reluctant to put his eggs in one basket, but there was not enough reason before, but now...... If you think about it carefully, you should really thank these people from the military.

"Boss, you've really got a big problem for me," Jessica, who came to pick up her boss, complained to her boss, "Do you know how excited Mr. Thomas was when he knew that he had a business of at least $500 million waiting for him?" ”
Lin Hongfei knew it, because he saw Thomas, who was flushed with excitement, in the crowd that greeted him...... As a middle and senior manager of Citibank, he actually came to the airport to pick him up, which really shows the importance of this business to him.
Glancing at Thomas, Lin Hongfei smiled at Jessica, "Jessica, you should thank me for giving you a chance to raise your eyebrows in front of your former boss...... I have every reason to believe that Mr. Thomas had great respect for you before that. ”
"Ha......" Hearing his boss say this, Jessica also smiled, thinking of Mr. Thomas's flattering attitude towards him in the past two days, Jessica felt that his heart was sweeter than eating honey, he never thought that Mr. Thomas, who had always been high in his eyes and unattainable as if in the clouds, would have a day of equal friendship with him, "Thank you, boss." ”
In fact, she understands better that she can be respected by her former boss, and who brought her this kind of drug-like pleasure.
"You're welcome," Lin Hongfei said, glancing eagerly at Thomas and smiling. "Mr. Thomas, long time no see?"
Seeing Lin Hongfei take the initiative to greet him, Thomas ran over at a trot, and his face was almost rotten with a smile, "Ha...... Mr. Lin, it's been a long time, you look more and more handsome," at least $500 million in business made him worried, and after a few words of greeting, he simply went straight to the topic. "Mr. Lin, Miss Jessica said that you have a business worth at least $500 million to discuss with our Citibank, can I know what the road is?"
"Let's talk in the car," Lin Hongfei pointed to the Chrysler 300C sedan that had been waiting next to him, and secretly praised Jessica for being sensible. "Mr. Thomas doesn't mind, does he?" ”
"Don't mind. Don't mind. Of course not! Thomaston nodded repeatedly.

"I intend to build a small aircraft engine manufacturing plant and design and research center in the United States, as well as an aircraft manufacturing plant...... Mr. Thomas, don't look at me with such eyes, now I have in my hands a full set of patents and technologies for two small turbine aero engines, and also a full set of patents for four aircraft, which our company is improving in our domestic aviation laboratories, limited by our domestic production conditions. The performance of the engine was not always up to our requirements, and after analysis, we decided that it was best to locate the production plant in the United States. ”
"But you don't have a plane," said Thomas, a bank manager by profession. Immediately realized the loophole in the problem, "I mean, your company doesn't have an FAA airworthiness certificate for the Civil Aviation Administration. ”
"That's right, but we have products that have obtained the CAA airworthiness certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of the United Kingdom, which shows that the level of my aircraft has reached the international level, and I am now actively applying for the airworthiness certificate of the Civil Aviation Administration of the United States FAA, I believe this time will not be too long...... You know that I know a lot of big people, if I engine my strength, I believe that I can get the FAA airworthiness certificate by the middle of next year at the latest, and the most important thing is ......" Lin Hongfei rushed to Thomas
"Well, one more question, you know, the aviation manufacturing industry in the United States is very competitive, how do you make sure that your business can survive and survive well?"
"Pratt, Canada. Whitney's PT6A-27 small turboprop engine has a power of 462 kilowatts and a fuel consumption of about 85 gallons per hour, while our WJ-01 small turboprop engine is now capable of reaching 400 kilowatts and a fuel burn of about 98 gallons per hour......"
"You don't seem to have any advantage." When Lin Hongfei said this, Thomas muttered.
As a de facto U.S. holding company, Thomas is a member of the Canadian Pratt. The Whitney Company still knows something, especially the engine that Lin Hongfei said, because he knows a multimillionaire who uses this engine on his private jet.
"That's right," Lin Hongfei nodded, he didn't shy away from this, "but the price of the PT6A-27 is almost $400,000 per unit, and the pre-determined market sales price of our WJ-01 is about $120,000, and the maintenance cost is only equivalent to 70% of the PT6A series...... Believe me, we're still very profitable! ”
After a pause, he added, "The size of this engine is comparable to the size of the PT6A series engine, and it can completely replace the low-end model of the PT6A series." ”
"Oh God!" Thomas exclaimed.
This time, he really couldn't calm down, as an excellent banker, efficient computing power is the basic skill, with this type of aircraft about 450 kilometers per hour flight speed to calculate, he immediately calculated that the same aircraft, with an annual flight of 100,000 kilometers, 10 years of use, a total of about 1 million kilometers to calculate, fuel expenses are not more than 60,000, less than 70,000 US dollars, which means that the cost of the engine alone, Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. occupies a huge advantage, Pratt & Whitney's engine use cost engine is 400,000 US dollars * 2 + about 370,000 US dollars of fuel expenses, the total amount is about 1.17 million US dollars, while the engine use cost of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is 120,000 US dollars * 2 + about 426,000 US dollars of fuel expenses, the total expenditure is 666,000 US dollars......
God, Thomas clutched his chest with a pale face, and suddenly felt that his heart was not very good: this meant that the cost of the engine of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was only a little more than half of that of the PT6A during the ten-year service life, and considering that the maintenance cost of this engine was only 70% of that of the PT6A, maybe not even half......
When the time comes, who will customers choose, and what questions are there? Pratt & Whitney will definitely be dealt a fatal blow at that time. But he maintained the most basic quality of a banker: skepticism.
Frowning, Thomas said, "Mr. Lin, I admit that what you said is very tempting, but all this is just ...... you say"
Why should I believe what you say? How can you prove that what you say is true?
"That's exactly what I'm going to say to you next, Thomas," Lin Hongfei smiled very happily, Thomas asked this place, which means that he is interested in this matter, which is good, "I have brought all the relevant technical information of our engine, you can ask the experts in aero engines to come and evaluate to see if what I said is true." ”
After a pause, Lin Hongfei added, "Of course, where some secrets are involved, we will take some necessary ...... Well, means, but I promise it won't affect the assessment. ”
"If this is really the case, then there is no problem," since Lin Hongfei dared to say so, Thomas immediately put his mind at ease, as for Lin Hongfei's practice of taking some means at a critical moment, he can also fully understand that this is a common practice between enterprises, Thomas has seen a lot, and he is not surprised, he shrugged, "As long as you really have such an excellent product, I believe this is a good business." ”
From Thomas's point of view, he thinks that $500 million is too much, and this business can be done with a maximum of $200 million, but since Lin Hongfei insists on doing this, what reason does he have to get along with money?
Of course, the posture that should be done still has to be done, Thomas frowned, "But with all due respect, Mr. Lin, this money doesn't seem to be a big problem for you, and you don't seem to need to ask us Citibank at all...... Of course, if you're going to work with Citibank, that's a pleasure for us. (To be continued......)
