Chapter Seventy-Seven: Take the Essence and Remove the Dross

The Air Force delegation came a day early, so Dassault was very hospitable and arranged for everyone to visit Dassault.

When he drove into Paris in Dassault's special car, Qin Feng looked at the surrounding streets, his eyes full of envy.

People come and go, traffic surges, surrounded by high-rise buildings, Paris, as the most famous city in the world, is really so prosperous!

At this time, the largest city in China is the capital, almost all of which are still in the structure of courtyard houses, with a sense of vicissitudes of hundreds of years, and then look at this West, an absolutely modern big city, and, it is said, this is the most romantic city in the world.

At this time, the car happened to pass by a bus stop, and when I looked at the past, there were two people standing, the man was tall and handsome, and the woman was beautiful.

"Immorals." There are already people in the delegation who can't help but whisper their dissatisfaction, what has become of this?

"We have opened the door to the world and gone to the world, we must learn from the West and learn from their successful experience, but the essence and the dross coexist, we must take the essence and remove the dross, and we must not lose our eyes in this world of flowers."

General Lin's words sounded in Qin Feng's ears, and Qin Feng instantly sobered up, that's right, no matter how good the Western world is, it is also foreign, and you can envy it, but this envy must be transformed into motivation, they are so prosperous, we don't envy it, our country will be as prosperous as this one day!

Dassault is headquartered on the most famous Champs-Élysées in Paris, with a general management office in Vaucreçon, and factories or test centers in more than a dozen places such as Saint-Cloud, Vélizi, Laniac and Argenteuil.

As he spoke, the car turned around a street corner and stopped in front of a Dassault landmark building.

Outside the car door, a group of people in suits and leather shoes have already greeted them.

Qin Feng looked at everyone, they were all in green uniforms, and they seemed to be out of step with the world here, and General Lin had already taken steps.

"Welcome to all of you, I heard that you are coming to visit Dassault, and we have been preparing for many days." A middle-aged Frenchman said, "I'm the company's head of overseas sales, Boileau-Boivner, and I hope we can have a wide range of cooperation in the future." ”

With the translated words, everyone immediately understood.

The other party is very enthusiastic and invites everyone to visit the air show, there is only one reason, in order to buy an airplane for themselves.

"It's a great honor." General Lin said: "Our country is reforming and opening up, and the army will also go abroad to see what the advanced equipment of the Western world looks like. ”

The two sides exchanged a few more polite words, and under the guidance of Boileau, everyone entered the Dassault building.

Entering the main entrance, this is a model of a fighter plane that is ready to fly, with a delta wing layout, in line with Dassault's usual style, only changed to a twin-engine.

Many aircraft companies have a habit of placing models in the most prominent position, and they are different from the East.

In China, aircraft development is a secret project, and in many cases, the troops have already been equipped and have not yet been announced to the public, but in the West, it is different, and in the early stage of development, it was publicized everywhere, for fear that others would not know how advanced their technology was.

This model has never been seen before, though.

Qin Feng also glanced at it, feeling that it looked like the Mirage 2000 introduced in aviation magazines, but it had become a double-engine layout, like an enlarged version of the Mirage 2000.

It's weird.

What kind of plane is this?

The French had already noticed that the Chinese delegation was interested in this model of the aircraft, but they did not break it and took everyone all the way to the top floor.

Dassault attaches great importance to the Chinese market.

France remained neutral, left and right, and seemed to be living a very chic life, but, after all, the market was too small to sell many fighters.

If you want to keep up with the world trend, you have to continue to research and development, and the amount of money invested in research and development is astronomical, and Dassault can't afford it.

At this moment, they finally got a good news, the ancient East actually opened the door, this is good!

When they looked to the east, they saw an incomparably large market.

After more than ten years of delay, China's aviation has been out of touch with the world, look at their air force is still using J-6 to fight the world, and a small number of J-7 is only distributed to elite troops.

J-8? The domestic secrecy is quite in place, and now foreign countries don't know that there is a J-8 project, even if they know that there is, the first-class aircraft design masters here only need to look at the figure of the slender man in the air, and they know that they are from a professional interceptor, and there is no way to play a maneuver.

Third-generation aircraft, that is necessary to have enough maneuverability.

And now, China is facing a huge threat from the Soviet Union in the north, and once they open their doors, they will inevitably want to buy advanced military equipment from the West.

In this case, Dassault's opportunity has come!

As long as Dassault works hard, it will definitely make a breakthrough in China, and their orders, to say the least, will be hundreds of planes, how big a piece of fat should this be?

As the head of overseas sales, Boileau has long been targeting this market, and now that China has just opened its doors, he has taken the opportunity of the Paris Air Show to start the first step of sales.

If this huge arms sale is completed, then he will definitely get a huge bonus, and it will be enough to take this bonus for retirement.

Just like this, let the Chinese Air Force make up its mind to buy, of course, it is impossible, this is only the first step of sales, and then, he will continue to make persistent efforts, and even take the initiative to sell to the door, and successfully open the Chinese market.

He's confident.

So, what planes to market to them?

Dassault's main export aircraft is the Mirage F1, which first flew on December 23, 1966 and entered service with the French Air Force in 1970.

It's been almost ten years now, and the R&D cost has long been recovered, and it will be a pure profit to sell it again!

However, it is not easy to fool the Chinese with the Mirage F1, because according to the information obtained by the company's top management, the United States has also made a simplified version of their F-16 fighter, replacing it with a J79 engine, reducing the price, specially prepared for the low-level market of arms sales, maybe it will be sold to China, and its own side should be as soon as possible!

Thinking of the Phantom F1 is simply a shame for Dassault, just a few years ago, the business of the French was robbed by the Yankees on their own turf!
