Chapter 163: Finding a New Buyer
This is simply a bolt from the blue, on the train back, Tu Lao looked out the window at the vibrant earth, and his mood fluctuated.
Ten years of turmoil, so that the country's economy has been greatly affected, but also let the country's science and technology has been greatly affected, and then look at the Western world, these ten years, is their fastest development of the decade, a pity.
When the People's Republic of China was just founded, domestic aviation technology and the whole world were synchronized, and the J-5 and J-6 fighters were comparable to Western fighters.
However, when it comes to the J-7, it quickly falls behind, and its own J-7 has been done from the sixties to the eighties, and what about the West? It has already begun to make a big leap forward.
The West has already begun to prepare for the third generation of aircraft, and it will be so difficult for its own side to introduce even a flat appearance!
"The country has its own problems." Looking at Qin Feng opposite, Tu Lao couldn't help but sigh: "In his position, seeking his own government, the superiors have the consideration of the superiors and look at the problem from their standpoint, and we, if we want to look at the problem from our standpoint, we can only sell our ideas." ”
"Yes, Tu Lao." Qin Feng followed on the other side and said, "We just want to sell this plane, but we are not familiar with foreign countries." ”
In the past, it was all military aid, and it was free aid to third world countries, and at the same time, there was no need for aircraft factories to consider these things, under the planned economy, aircraft factories only needed to be responsible for production.
Now it's different, the aircraft factory not only has to build, but also thinks about how to sell it, and now, everyone is still in a situation where their eyes are black.
The last time I was able to sell the fighter to Egypt, it was because I had been to Egypt and had a cooperative relationship with the Egyptians, and at the same time, I happened to know that the other party's fighter was in a state of scarcity, so I was able to successfully sell my own fighter.
What about the others?
We don't know.
"Tu Lao, there are often wars in the Middle East, and many countries used to be the users of Soviet-made weapons, our J-7 is actually a mapping imitation of the MiG-23, so I suggest that we start with Egypt and ask Egyptian friends to help find new buyers."
Qin Feng suddenly thought of Mustafa, an old friend of Egypt, who had come to his factory to interview and fly fighters last time when he ordered J-7 fighters.
After that, Qin Feng and Mustafa also exchanged letters, and now, they can go to him.
You must know that although the peace talks between Egypt and Israel have caused other countries around them to completely break with Egypt and think that Egypt has betrayed them, in private, they are all Arab brothers, so the relationship between them is very close.
Mustafa must be willing to help him with this, as long as he collects some data carefully, he will know which fraternal country around him is short of fighters.
Your own plane, good quality and low price.
Tu Lao nodded, in fact, his gaze had already looked there.
The Iran-Iraq war has been going on for a few months, and the belligerents there need a large amount of weapons and equipment, and the international argument that it is forbidden to supply weapons to the belligerents is just a piece of waste paper on our side.
Isn't it a fool to have money and not make it? Now that the country is in transition, the military industrial system is suffering, how can you not take advantage of this opportunity?
However, it is not easy to get in touch with the warring parties, you must know that Iraq is a traditional user of Soviet and French weapons, and as for Iran, it is in the most arrogant era, and it seems that the war can be won by faith.
How can we sell our J-7 there, it is worth pondering.
Tu Lao thought secretly in his heart.
As for going back, the first thing to do is to hold a meeting to implement the plan on how to reduce the introduction cost, including reducing the number of introductions, reducing the introduction of production line projects or temporarily not introducing production lines.
After returning to Chengdu, Qin Feng immediately sent a telegram to his old friend Mustafa through a special channel, asking him about the situation of the air forces of the countries around him.
At the moment when he was anxiously waiting, suddenly, a staff member on duty in the office ran over and shouted to Qin Feng: "Comrade Qin Feng, I have your phone." ”
In this era, telephones are still rare, the entire 132 factory, the number of telephones is not much, because the program-controlled switch technology has not begun to be introduced, even internal telephones, most of the time, are transferred by people.
Normally, Qin Feng didn't answer the phone, no one called him for something, if he wanted to call, it would definitely be Shenyang, and the person who answered the phone would cleverly refuse.
Now, hearing the news, Qin Feng was stunned: "Who is it?" ”
"Foreigners." Said the officer on duty.
When Qin Feng picked up the phone in the runway office, the distance brought a feeling of emptiness in the phone.
"Hey, my friend, Qin Feng, are you okay?"
The words on the other side immediately made Qin Feng happy, it was Mustafa!
I just took a telegram in the past, after all, I save money by taking a telegram, and this kind of direct international call, the cost is not affordable by ordinary people and units.
(In this day and age, is there an international call?) There were in the nineties, and in the eighties, please know that it is very confusing. )
"Oh, Mustafa, my good friend, you have received all the telegrams I gave you?"
Originally, Qin Feng was still waiting for Mustafa to send a telegram back, or a reply, but now, he actually called himself directly.
The two of them communicated in English and spoke very pleasantly, and at the same time, Qin Feng also knew that this call fee was very expensive, so he also made a long story short.
"Yes, here, in addition to us, Jordan must have demand, they now, only one F-5 fighter, the number is too small, it is impossible to meet their needs, if it is not for some official reasons, they want to come to us to inspect the J-7 fighter we just received." Mustafa said on the other side.
Jordan!
Hearing Mustafa's words, Qin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Jordan? ”
"That's right, the main force of the Jordanian Air Force is dozens of F-5 fighters, but this batch of fighters is not enough for the Jordanian Air Force to maintain enough air power, but they don't have much money, so they want to find a batch of high-quality and inexpensive fighters from the international market." Mustafa said.
Jordan, which is a small country with a small population, size, economy and military strength, has remained largely stable in its political, economic and cultural life, and its people are relatively well-off.
One of the important reasons is that Jordan has a small but powerful army, and the Royal Jordanian Air Force is an established force.
Their idea is similar to that of Israel, if they want to grow, they must have a strong air force, although after the establishment of the state, due to lack of money, Jordan can only buy some old and outdated second-hand aircraft for training and reconnaissance, but after all, this move laid the foundation for the later establishment and growth of the Jordanian air force.
Now, there's finally a goal!
