Chapter 377: Investment Fortune Ten
The year 1983 in the Gregorian calendar has finally arrived, and as the new year is about to begin, the whole of Iraq is showing a picture of prosperity.
Militarily, Iraq has gained the strategic initiative and has been suppressing Iran, and the entire international community is not optimistic about Iran at present.
Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini regime is already an unpopular regime, and perhaps within this year, Iraq will oust Khomeini from power, and many military observers have speculated that with the last hijacking, Khomeini's image in the world is simply to the lowest level.
And with the removal of Khomeini, the future of Iran is already silently watched by many major powers, ready to move.
Economically, Iraq is also developing well, due to the occupation of oil-producing areas in the southwest of Iran, Iraq's oil production has immediately increased to a higher level, at this time the matter of the Abadan refinery has also been semi-public, although Iraq is still producing according to OPEC quotas, but has rarely exported crude oil directly, but exported refined oil, and its income has increased significantly.
In a country at war, the national economy has not only not been destroyed, but has developed, if it were not for the black gold buried in the ground, where would such a myth arise!
Politically, Iraq is united in the leadership core headed by President Saddam Hussein, and Iraq's Excellency Qusay, who has sprung up, has faintly become the second person under Saddam, although Qusay did not meddle in the affairs of any Northern Military Region, in the last battle of the Northern Military Region, His Excellency Qusay did not participate in military operations, but only provided logistical help, and after the battle, Qusay returned to the Southern Military District, however, many people can see that His Excellency Qusay, He will definitely become the future successor that the president has deliberately cultivated.
For many countries in the Middle East, where there are many royal successions, although Iraq has been boiled a lot, no one will be naΓ―ve enough to think that the president of Iraq will be elected.
For such a rising star in Iraq, whether he can meet His Excellency Qusay, Cheng Yun has no bottom in his heart, they feel that they are a little sick and rushed to the doctor, they know that they must find a way for Yun Shi to live, so that Yun Shi can grow up!
Thinking of the comprador behavior in China, this project carried out under the instructions of [***] and Premier Zhou has now fallen to such a point, and the scientific researchers who have been fighting for more than ten years can't swallow this breath.
However, what touched Cheng Yun very much was that after they arrived in Basra, they asked to meet His Excellency Qusayy with the intention of giving it a try, and within a day, the other party made arrangements for them to meet with His Excellency Qusay.
In one day! You know, a big guy like the other party doesn't know how many things to do in a day! Cheng Yun began to feel some confidence in this meeting.
In fact, he misunderstood, the bigger the person, the easier it is often. Like the current Zhang Feng, in addition to inspecting every day, there is almost nothing he needs to do, if he does everything alone, he would have been exhausted to death, so Zhang Feng is very relieved to hand over all kinds of work to his deputy, except for various confidential projects.
Knowing that the other party had come for the Yun 10 project, Zhang Feng immediately made the decision to meet with the other party, and he was inspecting the refinery in Abadan at this time, and returned to Basra by helicopter.
At the military district headquarters, Zhang Feng met with the visiting Chinese delegation.
"Your Excellency, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet us." Cheng Yun said: "I have long heard of the prestige of His Excellency Qusay, and when I see it now, it is indeed a hero from ancient times. β
These technicians are really so upright that they can't even make a sycophant, Zhang Feng flashed such a thought in his heart, but he likes such a person.
Since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, you know, now in the whole of Iraq, who dares to treat him as a teenager? His resourcefulness, his military talent, is already very old-fashioned.
Cheng Yun is in his forties, but his hair is already a little bald, which is the result of perennial overuse of his brain, Zhang Feng is still full of respect for such technicians.
The strength of a country is precisely because of the silent efforts of these technicians that the development of national defense science and technology has been achieved; although the other side has developed the Yun-10, which is a kind of transport aircraft, Zhang Feng also knows that the transport aircraft is even more strategic.
If Iraq has enough large aircraft, then there is no need to rely on the power of the Americans to airdrop the trapped troops last time, that is, Iraq has enough strategic transport capacity to send its own force to any place!
Moreover, only with the foundation of this large aircraft can we develop air tankers, early warning planes, and electronic warfare planes on this basis, and these are all factors that will determine the outcome of a war in a future war.
In later generations, China developed the Air Police 2000 large early warning aircraft, but it was limited by the platform of the Il-76 and could not be mass-produced, and the later generations of large passenger aircraft were divided into markets by Boeing and Airbus.
If China's Yun-10 can be put into production, it will definitely be of great significance, and if Iraq can participate in the development and occupy a part of the share, then it can also be very rewarding.
Zhang Feng has always thought so, and now, the other party took the initiative to come to the door, and he naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity.
"Mr. Cheng Yun, welcome to Iraq, Shanghai is an international metropolis, and we are much more humble here." Zhang Feng said in proficient Chinese.
Although I have long heard that His Excellency Qusay can speak Chinese, I did not expect that the other party would speak Chinese so fluently, if it were not for Iraq, Cheng Yun would have thought that the other party was an authentic Chinese.
"Your Excellency Qusay, this place is also very lively, and it will be even more prosperous in the future." Cheng Yun said: "The scenery here in Basra is also beautiful. β
"Mr. Ma Fengshan, is he okay?" Zhang Feng then asked.
For Ma Fengshan, the chief designer of Yun Shi, Zhang Feng is full of respect, after Yun Shi got off the horse, Ma Fengshan could not withstand this blow, looking at the object of struggle, when he was about to succeed, but because of the comprador power to strangle, and finally Ma Fengshan died prematurely due to depression. The R&D team, which had accumulated rich experience in systematic practice, was finally separated after fifteen years of waste.
Hearing that the other party even knew about his own project leader, Cheng Yun was very surprised and said: "Yes, he is very good, if it weren't for other reasons this time, he would have come in person." β
"I don't need him to come, if I have the opportunity, I would like to visit your country once, and by the way, visit this master of your country's aviation industry." Zhang Feng said.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Qusay, we are very welcome." Cheng Yun said that he was a little strange how the Excellency of Qusay in front of him had such a good impression of China.
"Your Excellency Qusay, we are here this time for our Yun-10 project." Cheng Yun said.
"How far has your project progressed?" Zhang Feng asked, although he knew about the project, but he didn't know much about the specific situation.
"Our Y-10 is currently in its final test flight." Referring to Yun 10, Cheng Yun suddenly came to his senses and said: "Our Yun 10, after nearly 100 takeoffs and landings, has flown more than 100 hours now, and has flown over Lhasa, and the test flight results confirm that the high-speed surname can be better than the Boeing 707, the fuel consumption is lower than the British Trident, and the Boeing 707 is equivalent, and it is safe and reliable and easy to indulge, and the adaptation to the airport is also very good." β
After speaking, Cheng Yun felt that he was a little scary when he said it, and he praised how good his plane was, would the other party suspect that he was lying?
Who knows, His Excellency Qusay did not have any doubts, he just asked: "In that case, why not put it into official operation?" β
Officially operational? I'm waiting for that day! Cheng Yun thought that it was just that the test flight would take a long time.
"There are still some problems that need to be solved in our Yun-10, due to the lack of flight sorties, the fatigue test of the aircraft has yet to be carried out; The body skin is made of domestic high-strength aluminum alloy LC4, which has a low toughness surname, and is less sensitive to notch, stress corrosion resistance and fatigue surname. The noise is loud, and the requirements for airworthiness have not yet been standardized, but as long as we continue to test flights, all kinds of problems will be solved, but the problem of funding cannot be solved. Cheng Yun said.
"Funding is not an issue." Zhang Feng said: "I am very interested in your country's Yun-10, I can fully invest, and after Yun-10 solves all the problems, we in Iraq will order 10 aircraft in advance." β
got an affirmative answer, Cheng Yun was very happy, and the other party promised to buy ten crosses, then, the reason why some people above said that there is no market for Yun Ten will be self-defeating.
"Not only my country, but I believe that countries such as Iran and Kuwait will be interested in buying." Zhang Feng said: "How much funding gap do you have? β
When it comes to specific numbers, Cheng Yun doesn't know how to speak, if he talks too much, will he scare the other party away? However, if it is not enough, Yun Ten still cannot be carried out.
"Three million is enough fuel for our next stage of test flights." Cheng Yun said, after speaking, he looked at His Excellency Cusay nervously, hoping that he would not scare the other party.
"Okay, let's invest $5 million to support the Yun-10 test flight." Zhang Feng said: "However, we asked to be able to share technology, and some parts of the transportation 10 can also be produced here. β
Cheng Yun was so shocked that he couldn't speak, the other party heard it wrong, he only said three million yuan, but the other party was very generous, he directly said the US dollar, and added two million!
Five million dollars! You must know that the entire Yunshi project has been carried out for more than ten years so far, and only 500 million yuan has been invested!
With this 5 million US dollars, the Yun10 project is enough to last until it is finally put into production!
