Chapter 136: Everyone is happy
Philip shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "General Manecozy, rest assured, this delivery volume is not at all pressure on us!" Our Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company has adopted a pulsating assembly line to complete the final assembly of aircraft, and now one of our assembly lines can reach the capacity of 2 small and medium-sized aircraft per day, and in the future it will be able to reach the production capacity of 5 aircraft, which is only the final assembly capacity of a production line. So you don't have to worry about the delivery schedule at all. In addition, we can guarantee that the design and manufacture of both aircraft will be completed within one year, so you can wait for the delivery of your goods with peace of mind! ”
When Manecozi heard this, he was also surprised: "What, your company's final assembly capacity is so strong, that is to say, each production line can complete the final assembly of 150 aircraft per month, which is really amazing, it seems that our Romanian Aviation Industry Company still needs to learn from your experience." So what do you think about the acceptance project at the time of delivery, let's proceed according to the original agreement? ”
"General Manekozy, rest assured, we guarantee that the delivered product will not only meet the target, but even exceed the target requirements, we are a company that pays great attention to credibility, and we will never give it to our customers if it is not a qualified product," Messerschmidt said. In the future, you will even be able to upgrade our products, such as retrofitting to more advanced turboprop engines. ”
Manekozi was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, really? That's great, but what kind of engine is a turboprop, and it's the first time I've heard of it? ”
Messerschmidt said with a smile: "The turboprop engine is a new type of aero engine, and at present, our Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex is investing a lot of money and manpower and material resources to develop it, or it will not be long before this new type of power can be available." It has the same low fuel consumption as a piston engine, but has a higher thrust-to-weight ratio, which means that a turboprop engine with the same power will be much lighter and smaller than a piston engine, and it will have better high-speed performance. If equipped with this engine, our commercial transport aircraft and junior trainer aircraft can also fly at a much higher speed. ”
Abram and the others also changed their faces when they heard this, they didn't expect that the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium had mastered such advanced aviation power technology, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with cooperating with them.
Manekozi said happily: "When the time comes, please be sure to give us the best price for the upgrade!" ”
Philip smiled and said, "That's certain, you have the right to upgrade the product." ”
The ensuing negotiations went very smoothly, and many details of the aircraft delivery were discussed and finalized. For example, when the delivery status of the aircraft is required to be handed over to the Romanian side after leaving the factory, the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industrial Complex must ensure that the total flight time of the aircraft is less than 20 hours, but this does not include the delivery test flight required by the Romanian side. The terms and methods of payment were agreed upon by the parties to pay in full after the delivery of the aircraft, including US dollars, German marks and checks, while the Romanian side was to pay a deposit of US$3 million to BFW, one of the members of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, after the contract was signed, which would be credited to the amount of the aircraft sold. If the seller is not sure that the aircraft can be delivered on time as required by the buyer due to reasons not attributable to the buyer, the deposit must be returned to the buyer within one month, if it is not due to reasons not attributable to the buyer, and the buyer refuses to complete the purchase, the deposit shall be deemed invalid and shall not be refunded.
Of course, there are also heavier fines for breach of contract by Dragon Soul. If the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium fails to deliver qualified aircraft on time, it will have to pay a huge late fee, which is $10,000 for each day of delay. In addition, if the aircraft delivered by the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex do not meet the indicators specified in the contract, the Romanian side has the right to return the aircraft and claim compensation. Even, if the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex fails to produce a standard aircraft within two years, the Romanian side can receive up to $15 million in liquidated damages.
That is, Philip and Messerschmidt were confident enough to agree to the huge liquidated damages proposed by the Romanian side and write it into the contract.
The Romanian side also signed the contract by taking advantage of the steps, and the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex also promised a huge amount of compensation for breach of contract, so Manekozi also felt that he had a lot of face and a sense of accomplishment. After all, it can be said that they have introduced two of the world's most advanced aircraft to Romania, and they can also hand over these two types of aircraft to the Romanian Aviation Industry Corporation for research, so as to improve the design and development level of the Romanian Aviation Industry Corporation, and perhaps enable the Romanian Aviation Industry Corporation to develop its own advanced aircraft.
The Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium can be said to have obtained the largest order in history, because the total amount of this order has reached 21 million US dollars, and through this order, the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium can earn at least 8 million US dollars, and it can even be said that it will get back all the funds for the development of turbojet engines at once. Moreover, once this cannon is fired, there must be many more customers who come to buy this commercial transport aircraft, and in that case, the profit will be even more considerable, because the larger the number of aircraft produced, the lower the cost will be shared. At the same time, the capacity of the pulsating production line can also be fully utilized.
Although there were some obstacles at the beginning, the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium negotiation delegation relied on strong self-confidence and the right method to make the Royal Romanian Air Force accept their offer, which was more than expected, the commercial transport aircraft was 40,000 dollars more than the expected 80,000 US dollars, and the training aircraft was 10,000 US dollars more than the expected 20,000 US dollars. Of course, the value of each propeller and turbocharger included in the gift is only two or three thousand dollars.
When the contract is printed, the contract is valid after the two parties sign their names on the contract on behalf of Philippe and Manekozi and exchange contracts with each other.
Manecozi stretched out his hand and shook it tightly with Philip, Manecozi laughed and said: "This meeting was really successful, it is good to deal with cheerful people like Mr. Philip and Mr. Messerschmidt, we also saved a lot of tongue and time, and I didn't expect to sign the contract so quickly." ”
Philip also laughed and said: "I am the same, I originally thought that General Manekozzi would definitely bargain hard, and this contract could not be signed without a difficult negotiation." What I didn't expect was that General Manekozi and your representatives are smart people, and it is clear that our cooperation can be said to be a win-win cooperation, and I hope that we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future. ”
Manecozi exclaimed: "Good! I like to hear that, and tonight at 7 p.m., we have prepared a grand celebration dinner, so please be sure to be on time! I will send someone to pick you up at the guest house, please be sure to enjoy the light! ”
Philip smiled: "I am waiting for your words, we will definitely not miss it!" ”
