Chapter 492: Kick us out and go it alone?
The meeting was suspended in the middle of the meeting, because of this request put forward by Brigadier General Farouk, Tu Lao and others realized that the situation was not good, and when the Pakistani people were temporarily resting, Tu Lao also began to study it seriously with everyone.
"I think this Brigadier General Farouk was fooled by Grumman." A person in charge of China Aviation Technology said: "Grumman in this regard, do have a hand, they have long been to the Pakistani side of the ecstasy, last month, Farouk went to the United States to negotiate, in Boeing for a day, in Grumman, a full nine days, according to people who know, at that time Grumman drafted an agreement, said that the government has agreed, Pakistan does not have to compete, just sign it, at that time, Farouk, fortunately did not sign, but can talk about this step, it shows that their relationship is already very good." ”
This comrade is in charge of the US project, and when he talks about this matter, he is still angry: "We also took the initiative to talk to Grumman, and what they said was very simple: design the front fuselage according to the US military standard, do a good job of electronic equipment, assemble it in the United States, ship it to Pakistan, and connect it to the rear fuselage. ”
This is not angry, but angry at the back: "At that time, I asked him, if you do this, who is the chief designer of this aircraft?" Who is responsible for the whole? Do you want to do the whole machine wind tunnel test, strength fatigue test, system test, etc.? How to organize leadership? How much work does China have and how can it cooperate? They can't say anything about this! ”
Grumman didn't think about it at all, or rather, they didn't plan to communicate with them in detail at all, they planned to take it all over.
"I also said what is the relationship between the three parties, and they made it very clear that the Pakistani side is the buyer and the person in charge of the project, and the United States and China are both contractors of Pakistan and are directly responsible to the Pakistani side. However, if the final assembly is in Pakistan, where does Pakistan have the ability to combine the aircraft, and there is still a lot of work, who will do this? ”
"In particular, once Pakistan and Grumman sign the agreement, then Grumman will be paid, and then who will pay for our work, they can't say at all."
Qin Feng, who listened to it, clenched his fists, the other party's intention was obvious, everything was a project of Pakistan and Grumman, what was his own? All we have to do is foolishly provide them with information, and Grumman will use this information to improve the plane, build the front fuselage, and as for the rear fuselage, we will not get anything, because it is produced in an aircraft factory in Pakistan.
So, what's going on with you?
The Pakistani side has been fooled, and it is easy to think clearly, because in the Pakistani side, all the technology is made by Grumman, they provide the entire nose, they have not seen the technology provided by the Chinese side, and they will not give the Chinese side any fees.
Grumman sees this matter very simply, as long as Grumman and Pakistan sign an agreement, they can get to work, ask for information, let Pakistan come forward, and at the same time, once they encounter any problems, they will still come to China, and they will use Pakistan-China relations to pressure China to become one of their engineering departments, as if they can command at will.
It's really beautiful to think, the money makes them earn, and they have to do their own work.
"Yes, we must not give them technical information." Tu Lao said: "If this is the case, then we will be completely kicked out by them." ”
"But how are we going to explain it to them?" Some people also asked that Farouk is now in control of the victory and is determined to win. He was still waiting to get the materials back to Grumman, and then Grumman could start work.
How should you explain it?
"Hmph, they want information, and they can't ask for it empty, simply, let's ask them for information!" Qin Feng on the side said a sentence angrily, this was originally an angry word, but when he heard Tu Lao's ears, his eyes lit up, that's right, since they want information, then let's just ask for a price.
How much? This information is not cheap, and it is worth a plane! It's going to cost $1.2 million!
The meeting restarted, and Brigadier General Farouk looked at Tu Lao and said, "Are all the materials ready?" When it's ready, we'll take it. ”
As far as he is concerned, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, and if he asks you for some information, with the friendship between us, is there anything that can't be done?
"Brigadier General, our information cannot be provided free of charge, if you want information, then please pay us at least $1.2 million in information fees first." Tu Lao said.
When he spoke, the whole conference room was silent, and when he heard his words translated by the interpreter, the representatives from the Pakistani side opened their mouths wide, what? Still want money?
In the past, the J-6 aircraft were all military aid, and even directly pulled out of the equipment sequence of the Chinese Air Force, and then later, such as the J-7, it was bought with money, but it was all a friendly price, they never thought that now they came to the Chinese side to ask for information, and they actually needed money?
"No, no, I think you're mistaken." Brigadier General Farouk shook his head one after another: "We are just here to ask for some information, which you should provide free of charge." ”
If it was just us and Pakistan, the information would be provided free of charge, and it would be absolutely fine, but now, you have been fooled by Grumman, which has nothing to do with friendship, and we must not give it.
"No, one and a half million, it's a must." Tu Lao said firmly.
This is not a bargain at all, this is a fixed price, it must be given, in fact, when Tu Lao said this, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, what if the other party gave it?
These technical materials are their last hole cards, if they are given them, then in the future, they will definitely be kicked out.
They don't give it now, but Tu Lao is still at ease, no matter how the argument is, it doesn't matter, in short, they don't give, if the other party gives money, then will they give the information?
That can't be given either!
Fortunately, Brigadier General Farouk didn't turn this corner, he has been struggling, why are you asking me for money?
1.2 million is not a small amount.
"Hmph, if you don't give it, I'll go to Beijing and find Beijing." Finally, Brigadier General Farouk was angry, he didn't give it here, went to Beijing, and saw what Beijing had to say, hearing his reaction, Tu Lao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
