Chapter 584: Discovered by the Americans

The next day, Muyang and Li Wei met at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong, standing on the building, they could see Victoria Bay from afar, and the two of them were sitting by the window at the moment, smoking and chatting about aircraft engines.

This time, the two of them did not grind for a long time for a little bit of price as before, but the two sides gave a general price direction, and then finally met together, trying to reach a node, because both sides did not want to drag on, and wanted to have a result as soon as possible.

In the end, the two sides finally agreed on a unified price before dinner.

New F119-PW-100 engines for $28 million each. refurbished, $17 million each. The F135-PW-100 engines are even larger, at $42 million each.

And Muyang didn't sell all of them to Li Wei, he told Li Wei that there was a customer who had booked 4 F119 and 4 F135 before him, in fact, this is Muyang prepared to leave it by himself, mainly to prepare for the real world, if the real world needs to use it, Muyang can also take it out, after all, in the mission world, even if there is more money, sometimes there is no convenience for things.

Li Wei went to contact the country and report the latest situation to the chief, after all, the final deal still needs to be decided by the big guys, after all, this is a big business involving billions of dollars, and it is not Li Wei who can call the shots.

However, looking at Li Wei's appearance after he came back, it seems that the other party is still very satisfied, after all, he can win such a batch of high-quality engines. China will soon be able to equip them with its own fighter jets, which can then be used for national defense.

Although China has its own engine, there is still a gap between the level and the United States and Russia. This is an indisputable fact, we ourselves have developed our own Chinese engines, and the level is relatively high, which can reach the level of the European 80s, and there is no problem at all with being used in third-generation fighters.

However, what about the fourth-generation fighters, what do we use. If you want to catch up with the F-22, the road is still difficult and long.

Every year, China also buys a large number of engines from Russia. The Russian-made AL-31F engine, which is widely used in Chinese fighters, costs more than $5 million each, but this engine is compared with the F119 or F135. The gap is obvious.

The Russian-made AL-31F engine lasts only 900 hours. And the F119 can be used for 4000 hours, and it can be used for 2000 hours after rehabilitation, this is the gap, the Russian-made AL-31F engine is not as long as the Taihang engine, and the Taihang engine still has about 1200-1500 hours.

The Russian-made AL-31F engine is not the best in Russia, and they will not sell the best to us.

But why is it not widely used in China, it is a simple truth, and the cost is high. Making what you build more expensive than what you buy is the consequence of the gap in basic industry. And there is also a tendency to technical failures. Sudden stops in the air and other problems.

Moreover, now whether it is a Russian-made AL-31F engine or a Taihang engine, it is the engine of the third-generation aircraft, while the F119 and F135 engines are the engines of the fourth-generation aircraft. The nature is different, so the price is more expensive, and the Chinese side can still accept it.

And this is not just a matter of buying for self-use, but also involving technical cracking and self-upgrading.

The next step is how to trade, this batch of goods is too much, the value is too high, it must be foolproof, so Muyang also has to consider how to deliver the goods.

Originally, Muyang was not in a hurry, he was going to find a safe countermeasure to complete the transportation of this transaction, but the next day, Li Wei found Muyang and told him a very bad news, and this news also made Muyang stunned for a few seconds before reacting.

"The first batch of engines you traded, is it with the Iranians." Li Wei asked with a serious face.

Muyang was stunned, how could Li Wei know this news, it was a very confidential transaction, and he didn't even tell Sarah and Lake, where did Li Wei know it, could it be that the Iranians told the Chinese side, but it is not very likely.

"Why do you ask?" Muyang didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either, he just asked ambiguously.

"We got the latest information, the Americans learned that the Iranians have obtained a batch of fighter engines, the models are F119 and F135 engines, because this kind of engine, the United States has not sold it to the outside world, and it is even more unlikely to sell it to Iran, and now the United States is still imposing sanctions on Iran, the Iranians have obtained a batch of 20 engines, the United States has obtained this information, and now it is making every effort to investigate." Li Wei said.

After listening to Li Wei's words, Mu Yang opened his mouth and scolded: "These Iranians are too him. Mom is not reliable, right? ”

Muyang's scolding can be regarded as a disguised recognition of Muyang's deal with the Iranians.

Li Wei continued: "We have also received intelligence, and the Americans seem to have traced the information of the object of the transaction with Iran, but whether you have been identified or not is still uncertain, and our intelligence officers only know so much. ”

Mu Yang reacted immediately, and no longer cared about Li Wei being here, walked to the back room, took out the phone and called Lake, "Lake, where is it." ”

"Hey, boss, we're in Zambia right now, and we've just negotiated a deal for a batch of automatic weapons and a batch of grenades, totaling $420,000." Lake sounded pleased.

Although the value of this cargo transaction is not much, Lake has opened up a new channel, which is the most important thing, you know, as an arms merchant, sometimes channel and reputation are more important than money.

"Lake, something has happened, and I suspect that you are in danger of being exposed, so I will abandon this transaction, move immediately, and hide in a safe place." Mu Yang said very seriously.

Lake was taken aback, and then asked, "Was the trade for THAAD and Global Hawk exposed?" ”

"Yes, so you'd better hide, take Kyle, hide as deep as possible, don't contact me during this time, it's best not to contact anyone, it's better to disappear into thin air." Muyang Road.

Lake was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Okay boss, I know what to do, I will keep an eye on the dynamics, and I will contact you when the limelight passes, I have also been tracked down by the Americans before, and they sent the best agents to check my whereabouts, but they can't find my whereabouts at all, I have my own place to save my life, this nod can be assured." ”

After ending the call with Lake, Mu Yang knew that in the recent period, he should not expect to find the two guys Lake and Kyle, both of whom are wanted by the United States, and they can live happily to this day, and they have a set of means to save their lives.

Muyang called Sarah again. (To be continued.) )
