Chapter 1773 The Handover of Responsibilities (Third Shift, Second Shift)
"What do you say? You sold this car to the Americans, $1.4 million a car? Ding Ke coughed repeatedly, and his face was red.
Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. wants to participate in the competition of the American MRAP project, this matter is naturally known to Ding Science, and it is also in this way to euphemistically express to the Americans the Republic's support for the United States' ongoing "anti-terrorism" cause, but Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to participate in the competition is one thing, no one has ever expected Lin Hongfei to really be able to grab orders from the Americans: the list of 32 billion US dollars seems not small, but there are many companies that live on this list. Didn't see that among the 10 shortlisted companies, nearly half of them are second-course dealers who eat related food?
In this case, no one is optimistic about Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., but who would have thought that under the condition that everyone is not optimistic about Lu, Lin Hongfei actually took Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to fight a beautiful battle, not only sold their light anti-mine anti-ambush combat vehicle, but also sold it at a very good price: 1.4 million US dollars, which is even comparable to the price of domestic MBT2000 tanks.
In view of the fact that this incident was too weird, Ding Science felt that it was necessary to listen to Lin Hongfei and talk about the reason.
"We have reached a cooperation intention with the military explosion-proof vehicle company, and we will provide OEM MRAP products for the military explosion-proof vehicle company, and the military explosion-proof vehicle company will carry out government public relations, and the military explosion-proof vehicle company will purchase vehicles from us at a unit price of 1.4 million US dollars, and then the profits generated by the after-sales will be divided equally between the two parties."
It turns out that this is the case, Ding Kexue nodded, he is no stranger to this military explosion-proof vehicle company, Zhilu said that this is a company with considerable energy in the American political arena, and couldn't help but ask Lin Hongfei, "Are you familiar with them?" ”
"I'm familiar with their director, Hugo. Hugo is a member of the U.S. Senate and former president of Chrysler Auto Group. Iacocca has a good relationship, and he is also Lee. Iacocca introduced Hugo to me. Lin Hongfei explained to Ding Science, this is a big matter, don't look at Ding Science just asked such a sentence casually, but the relationship between himself and Hugo must be clearly introduced.
"It's a Senator," Ding Science smiled, "I heard that the Pentagon's delivery date is quite tight?" ”
"It doesn't matter, the Pentagon gave each of the five finalists an IDIQ contract of 'irregular delivery and indefinite delivery quantity'. As long as a minimum of 36 light mine-resistant anti-ambush vehicles are delivered by October 04, as many as possible...... Americans are also tormented by the endless roadside bombs on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, and they are about to go crazy. ”
"Ha Lu haha......" Listening to what Lin Hongfei said was interesting, Ding Kexue couldn't help laughing, patting his thigh vigorously and shouting, "This is called self-destruction if you do too much injustice." The Americans are finally suffering now, right? ”
Lin Hongfei said yes with a smile.
Ding Science is right, there are endless sneak attacks of roadside bombs, cold guns and RPG rockets. It is true that the US military in Afghanistan and the US military in Iraq are about to have a nervous breakdown. The weak small body of the HMMWV military vehicle could not even stop the bullets of the AK-47, and even the armored HMMWV was almost like paper paste in the face of roadside bombs, and the US soldiers not only had a strong war-weariness, but even had quite serious war psychological illness, and some troops who needed to carry out patrol missions had even asked to take armored vehicles when they went out, if armored vehicles were not provided. They even dared to directly refuse to carry out their tasks, and if the Pentagon did not hurry up to find a way to improve the protective capability of the patrol units, it would not be impossible for the troops to mutin in a small area.
"Speaking of which, though. This kind of MRAP vehicle that can resist roadside bombs and mines is quite suitable for our overseas peacekeeping forces," Ding Kexue raised his eyebrows and asked Lin Hongfei what he meant, "Xiaolin, how about providing a batch of vehicles for our peacekeeping troops?" Well, 36 too. ”
Over the years, as the Republic has assumed more and more international responsibilities, the number of peacekeeping troops sent to dangerous areas overseas has also increased.
The vehicles used by the peacekeeping forces of the Republic are basically military wheeled armored vehicles modified from peacekeeping vehicles, the space in the car is small, the comfort is very poor, whether it is comfort, defensive performance or overall combat firepower intensity and Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. on the basis of WS2400 developed on the basis of the 6 * 6 light anti-mine anti-ambush combat vehicle is much worse, the price is higher than the price of the light anti-mine anti-ambush combat vehicle, the contrast between the two is so different, It's no wonder that Ding Kexue wants to add a new piece of equipment to our peacekeeping forces.
"Okay, no problem." Lin Hongfei agreed without saying a word, and didn't even ask about the price...... Compared with the wealthy Pentagon, the proportion of profits given by the domestic procurement of military equipment can simply make people cry: too stingy, but despite this, Lin Hongfei still did not hesitate at all.
Lin Hongfei's bold attitude made Ding Kexue very happy, this kid has given himself enough face.
Originally, this was just a move to test Lin Hongfei, but I didn't expect Lin Hongfei to be so arrogant, Ding Kexue was a little embarrassed, scratching his head, "That's it, you can pay as much as you want, and go according to the regulations." ”
"Okay." Lin Hongfei didn't refuse, just do what you want, this is the rule, you charge less money? What about others? Just you, Lin Hongfei's consciousness? This kind of bad rule is absolutely not to be done.
Lin Hongfei agreed so happily, Ding Kexue was also happy in his heart, Da Lu smiled and patted Lin Hongfei's shoulder and said, "By the way, there is an event next month, do you want to participate." ”
"What activity?" Lin Hongfei was a little curious.
"Guess what." A hint of pride flashed in Ding Science's eyes.
"You have to give me a hint, right?" Lin Hongfei scratched his head depressedly, "You don't say anything, how can I guess?" ”
"Okay, this is a highly confidential project of great significance to our country's national defense construction, and your company is also involved, can you think of it?"
"This is ......" Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment, and a trace of excitement suddenly flashed in his eyes, "Our large airborne early warning aircraft made its first flight?" ”
In addition to the large-scale airborne early warning aircraft that is underway, Lin Hongfei can no longer think of any other projects that meet Ding Science's words, and at the same time he is qualified to go and see them, and some projects also meet the conditions of "highly confidential and of great significance to the construction of pot rice", but he didn't get involved.
"Haha...... Ding Kexue laughed very happily and patted Lin Hongfei's shoulder hard, "Good boy, smart enough!" ”
Next month will be the day when the first modified large airborne early warning aircraft of the Republic will carry out its first test flight, and as an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the Republic's airborne early warning aircraft project, if Lin Hongfei does not appear at the first flight ceremony, will it not seem that the entire first flight is not perfect?
————————————————————————
In November 2003, at a certain air force flight test center in Northwest China, a Beijun 200B plane with a big "mushroom" on its back was quietly parked at the end of the runway, waiting for the commander's order.
Looking at the Beijun 200B that was quietly parked at the end of the runway, Lin Hongfei's heart was surging.
Different from the time and space in the past, the large domestic early warning aircraft in this time and space did not use the Il-76 military transport aircraft platform, but used the more comfortable Beijun 200B civil aircraft as the carrier aircraft, and the use of four ND1000B large duct turbofan engines not only provides greater lift for the aircraft, but also is more fuel-efficient than BD1000 in the cruising state.
Because the load of the AWACS aircraft is almost fixed (as far as the equipment and people above), compared with the North County 200B that performs international flight missions, the load of this strategic AWACS aircraft that has not yet been named belongs to the medium load, with a maximum fuel load of 90 tons, a flight range of 10,800 kilometers, and an air refueling capacity, which can be refueled in the air if necessary to carry out air alert patrols and duty time, and there are perfect living and rest facilities on board, The maximum self-sustaining force is as high as 36 hours, that is, as long as the air refueling is carried out in time, the aircraft can fly in the sky for 36 hours in a row!
This number is significant, meaning that when the country is in a critical situation, this aircraft can do more for the country.
As for diet and rest? Don't worry, these issues have been thought of for a long time.
"Pretty, isn't it?" Ding Kexue stood next to Lin Hongfei, looking at the modified Beijun 200B not far away, looking at the fixed big "mushroom" on the back of the plane, and blushing as if he was drunk, "I think this is simply the most beautiful plane in the world." ”
"I think so too." Lin Hongfei nodded, his tone extremely firm.
Although AVIC Group 2 has delivered no less than 48 Beijun 200Bs so far, in Lin Hongfei's opinion, none of the Beijun 200Bs are as beautiful as this.
"Come on!" Ding Science slapped Lin Hongfei's shoulder hard, his eyes were shining, "We old guys are already old, and it will depend on you young people to protect this land and recover the land we haven't recovered yet." ”
Lin Hongfei subconsciously stepped forward, "This is our responsibility!" (To be continued......)
