Chapter 429: Meeting the needs of customers
If you want to talk about the friend factor, of course, there are, but, definitely not all, these days have a lot of fun, Ibrahim is very happy, this will affect his choice, but what can really impress him is naturally the price.
If it weren't for the cheap price, he wouldn't have made a decision right away.
The elite T-72 tanks they are now equipped with inside the army cost more than three million, and the price of one T-72 tank is enough to buy three 69 tanks!
(The price of tanks in the eighties is really hard to find, and there is information that the Leopard-2 at that time was only 1.6 million units?) Well, the T-72, and how much is it? The whole 80s seems to be an era of soaring prices, and it is estimated that the prices are different in January 80 and December 80. )
Moreover, this kind of tank is not low performance, people have air conditioning, people can use universal ammunition, and people can drive easily!
You know, even if it is to the T-72, the operation is similar to that of the T-55 series, there is no unicorn arm, and the two steering sticks cannot be opened.
Now, this tank sells for only a million, which is too cheap, buy two hundred first!
Moreover, in this era, relying on oil wealth, their country has a full reserve of tens of billions of foreign exchange, and it is normal to use 200 million to buy tanks.
As for the other side, it is a factor that cannot but be said, they are going to be ready to fight, and it is good to buy this low-grade tank back and make up for the stocks.
Although the opening is 200 vehicles, Ibrahim does not treat these problems as child's play, he said seriously: "Regarding the specific performance of these tanks, we still need to transport them to our country for testing, and after the test is qualified, our transaction can be carried out, can you accept this?" ”
"Of course." Qin Zhenhua patted his chest, this kind of thing should be said to be Ma Panshan, but now Ma Panshan has been occupied by great joy, and his mind has become blank, and he didn't have time to answer at all.
200 million, 200 million, he is still shocked at this time, a machine factory, about to develop!
In the past few years, the army has been shrinking, orders have been decreasing, and the situation of a machine factory has become more and more difficult.
Ma Panshan, as well as everyone, had the same psychology at this time, and only Qin Zhenhua could keep calm and continue to introduce to the foreign guests.
What about Storm Tanks?
Qin Zhenhua didn't plan to take out the Storm Tank, after all, the Storm Tank is not perfect yet, and it is not a product that can be launched immediately.
And, most importantly, why take out the Storm tank, if you can make money with the 69 tank? When the customer does not like the 69 tank, then consider the export of the Storm tank, and by then, it is estimated that it will be ripe.
Next, it was a matter of details, and the other side put forward some new suggestions, such as improving the tank radio station, having smoke grenades, and so on.
No matter what the other party asked, Qin Zhenhua nodded and agreed, now, the customer is God, what people say, then what must be done.
This day will surely be recorded in the history of the development of a machine factory.
That night, after seeing off the guests, the factory meeting of the first machine factory was held again at night, and Qin Zhenhua, who had always been very disgusted with the night meeting, also attended with great interest this time.
"First of all, let us use warm applause to thank Qin Zhenhua for his contribution, Qin Zhenhua played a key role in this export project." After Ma Panshan finished speaking, he first applauded.
In my memory, this seems to be the first time I applauded Qin Zhenhua at the factory meeting.
It's just that everyone's applause was very warm, but Qin Zhenhua didn't smile.
"Director Ma, we don't have to be happy too early, although we have an intention, but, whether we can succeed in the end, it still depends on whether we can improve the improvement projects required by others within the specified time, for this project, what people say, I have agreed, but there are some things in my heart."
Qin Zhenhua's words brought everyone back to reality, yes, we will do whatever people ask, but there are indeed some things in it that we haven't dabbled in at all.
Like, that smoke bomb launcher!
"Don't say anything else, just that smoke grenade launcher, there is no manufacturer in our country." Zhou Xuejun followed the analysis on the side: "Now, we promise to add them to the equipment, do we want to import them from abroad?" ”
There are many ways to save the life of the tank, using armor to carry hard, which is a hard encounter, and there are also soft defense methods, and this smoke grenade launcher is one of them.
What poses a threat to the tank, whether it is an anti-tank missile or a tank gun on the opposite side, mainly depends on visual aiming, and as for data such as distance, it also has to pass through a laser rangefinder, so as long as you don't let the other party see it, you can protect yourself.
The smoke grenade launcher is based on this idea, and when it is working, it can quickly fire smoke grenades, forming a wide waterfall in front of itself and pouring down a smoke screen, instantly covering the tank tightly, and the tank is not visible from the front.
In fact, in World War II, there were tanks that deliberately created black smoke to obscure the enemy's vision, using this principle, but at that time the engine was used to produce black smoke, and now special smoke grenade launchers are used.
This thing only began to appear in the sixties and seventies, and the domestic 59 tanks and 69 tanks did not have them, and the tanks that were being pre-researched, although they were planned to be equipped with such devices, they were gadgets after all, so when the main body of the tank had not been successfully developed, these attached gadgets were not considered at all.
Now, the construction period is very tight, and we have to modify it, accept the test of others, and pass the test, and the order for 200 tanks will take effect.
"It seems that we have to quickly look for a unit with technical strength in the system, include this device in the research project, vigorously support it, and complete it as soon as possible." Ma Panshan said: "Now, the project about the 69 foreign trade tank is the focus of our factory!" If we don't have the funds, we can apply for a loan! ”
In the military industrial system, there is still no manufacturer to develop this kind of thing?
Hearing Ma Panshan's words, Qin Zhenhua shook his head: "No, I'm against this, the matter of the Red Star Electromechanical Factory is in front of us, do we know that it is a pit, and we still want to jump down?" ”
Before Qin Zhenhua came back, the shameless request for funds of the Red Star Electromechanical Factory had actually spread in the factory, but there was only one family, so they succeeded again and again, until Qin Zhenhua came back and scared them back.
This matter, there is no follow-up, the second-generation tank research and development team is in a big head, and now, Qin Zhenhua has spoken out about this matter again.
