"It's been bought in advance, so let's change it. At present, there are so many bankrupt companies in the United States, is it not enough for us to choose? ”

Viktorf, who hadn't yet understood, replied casually.

Viktorf has encountered many cases where his chosen target has been preempted by others. Many of them are fairly high-quality enterprises, and naturally some people will take the opportunity to grab their fancy factories. There are not so many factories that are bankrupt now, and if someone robs them, just look for a replacement from them, what's the fuss about.

That's right, this is the attitude of Viktov, which is why he is surprised by the attitude of this staff member.

Seeing that Viktov hadn't taken this seriously, the staff member said loudly. "Comrade Viktov, this is not one or two factories that were bought in advance, but several factories of our choice were bought."

Hearing the words of this staff member, Viktov finally paid attention.

"What's going on?"

It was only under the narration of this staff member that Viktov learned the seriousness of the problem. Many precision machinery production plants across the United States have been acquired. In addition, in the aviation, steel, petrochemical, shipbuilding, and vehicle manufacturing industries, many of their chosen targets have been taken first. Moreover, these enterprises are basically factories with their own skills or some new technology, which belong to high value-added enterprises.

So when he heard the subordinates introduce the new situation, Viktorv realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Immediately find out who is buying these companies first."

While the Soviets were shocked to be cut off for their chosen target, their men were in contact with Boeing in Seattle, and they were received by the famous William Edward Boeing. That's right, Boeing is the company that bears his name.

And unlike the king of passenger aircraft in later generations, Boeing now mainly designs military aircraft, although the current military aircraft market has become very narrow because of the peaceful era, Boeing alone still launches a lot of military aircraft, of which Boeing 83 is currently the most military aircraft in the United States military.

The arrival of the Great Depression made life difficult for Boeing, but fortunately they had previously launched the first Boeing 200 monoplane postal aircraft, which made Boeing's situation much better. It's not like James Smith MacDonald, the founder of Douglas & Co., and went bankrupt, but it's not that good.

Therefore, Boeing is also willing to cooperate with other countries.

"Hello, Mr. Fixes."

Boeing, as the company's president, stepped forward to shake the leader's hand and greet him after the arrival of the cooperation representative from Romania.

"Hello Mr. Boeing."

As one of the main persons in charge of this procurement, Fixes naturally greeted Mr. Boeing very warmly.

"Your country's procurement in the United States has revitalized many companies and saved many people from bankruptcy. It also dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Soviet Union, just as your country did to the Red Empire in the border areas, which was to defend the freedom of capitalism. ”

You see, whoever says that he can't talk about technology, Mr. Boeing is very good at talking. Raise Romanian purchases in the United States to the point of defending capitalism.

In the face of Boeing's compliment, Fixes replied casually. "Thank you for your interest in us. In fact, this time we want to introduce technology from Boeing, and we have all eyes on the research and development of monoplanes in your company. China also hopes to reach a cooperation with Boeing to jointly develop new aircraft, so that more monoplanes can soar in the sky. ”

That's right, this time Filkes came to purchase Boeing's monoplane technology. Boeing's management began working on monoplanes as early as 1928, and although their own Boeing 83 series had achieved quite good results, they believed that the era of biplanes was coming to an end, so they focused most of their efforts on monoplanes.

The Romanian aviation industry is also working on monoplanes under Eder's watch. The purchase of Boeing's monoplane technology this time is also to integrate the technology of the two countries and allow the Romanian aviation industry to achieve greater development.

And in the face of Filkes's blunt words, Mr. Boeing did not refuse. "Thank you for your fancy to Boeing, in fact, in the future, as the engine horsepower increases, the speed of the aircraft will inevitably become faster and faster. And the monoplane can play its full performance. This time your country is in the right place, Boeing has the best monoplane technology in the United States. ”

Before the Great Depression, Boeing might have been hesitant to sell its technology, but now it's tempting to sell it. After all, R&D needs money, and the huge Boeing company also needs expenses, so it is natural to be able to sell some of them. Moreover, Boeing basically has no market in Europe, and selling technology is also pure profit, where is there a reason not to sell.

So then the two parties had a bargain about the technology of the monoplane, basically one wanted to sell and the other wanted to buy, so there was a price problem between the two. At this point, there is not much difference between the two parties, Boeing does not want to sell at a high price, and Romania has no idea of picking up cheap, so in the end, Romania will pack away the current Boeing monoplane mature and immature technology at a price of 1.2 million US dollars.

And when the guests of honor of the two parties were having fun, Boeing thought about the passenger aircraft project developed by the company at this time, so he couldn't help but talk about it again. "I don't know if your country has any ideas about passenger aircraft, we are developing a new passenger aircraft. It's a true airliner with an all-metal construction and streamlined exterior with our latest development of a lower monoplane. It will be a masterpiece that spans the generations. ”

Boeing's words made Filx interested. "I don't know about this airliner, there is no physical object at the moment?"

"Yes, it's at our test site, but it's just a prototype, and it's probably still more than a year before it actually comes out."

Boeing said he blushed a little at the end, because the prototype of the new airliner was only built last month, and even a test flight was carried out once.

But Fixes ignored Boeing's expression and asked with interest. "Shall we go and have a look?"

"Yes."

The crowd made their way to Boeing's test site outside Seattle, where a metallic airplane appeared in front of them.

Just listen to Boeing's serious introduction. "This new airliner, length: 51 ft 5 in (15.7 m), wingspan: 74 ft 1 in (22.6 m), height: 12 ft 5 in (3.8 m), empty weight 4,055 kg. We test things with a maximum take-off weight of 6,190 kg. According to our design, it can carry 10 passengers and fly 750 kilometers. ”

The introduction of Boeing reminded Fickes of the Ju 52/1m, which had just become famous in Germany, and this aircraft could also carry two tons, but it could fly 1,500 kilometers.

However, the downside is that this is a freighter, and it is also a triple shipper. Compared with this Boeing airliner with two engines, it is indeed not comparable in terms of comfort. However, considering the slow development of passenger aircraft in Romania at present, it is still good to introduce some technology.

Thinking of this, Fix couldn't help but say. "This airliner looks unique, so if the price is not high, we can also buy some technology."

And Fixes' words made Boeing overjoyed, and it was always good to sell it for money before the development was completed. Immediately at the test site, the two parties discussed the purchase of technology before the future Boeing 247 airliner. In the end, the Romanian side bid 800,000 yuan to buy the blueprints of this aircraft.

In order to preserve the technology of this airliner, Romania is not allowed to use this airliner for sale abroad. Firks agrees with this, as it is only a purchase to boost Romania's aviation industry. In the future, Romania will inevitably have aircraft that have already been launched.
