Chapter 281: The Indians Who Ascended to the Branches but Gave Up Halfway
As a result, the doomed negotiations always make people unconfident, especially when they are still alone, Putin tried his best, and did not get too many benefits, especially in terms of price, Fei Zijun insisted on doing things according to business rules, plus Russia is learning from Western civilization, and can no longer be as unreasonable as before, and finally the price of the Mikoyan Design Bureau was determined to be 240 million US dollars.
At this time, Putin proposed that the Mikoyan Design Bureau could not move out of Russia, but was unceremoniously interrupted by Su Ming: "Since it will be mine after I buy it, why don't you let me move away, and besides, my main body of production is over there, is it difficult to become convenient to cooperate, and I have to move the main body of production over?" Even if you move here, you Russians will have to hire so many workers. ”
However, Su Ming also said that the main body of the Mikoyan Design Bureau can stay in Russia, and he only needs to transfer some people to set up a technology research and development center, but this must not be written into the agreement, he does not want to be subject to any restrictions, everything must be from the perspective of economic interests, and there is only one factor that determines Mikoyan's arrival there, that is, it is the most convenient to be located there.
At this point, Putin and Su Ming argued for a long time, and even Putin proposed that Su could move Mikoyan to Pakistan, but not to China, because their main concern was that after China got Mikoyan, it would no longer buy planes in Russia.
Su Ming laughed secretly, these Russians think that the current China is still the same as before, this batch of Su-27 is already the last batch, and localization has long been mentioned on the road, especially after Sushi provided the most important engine, there is no big problem for Su-27 to implement 100% localization.
However, this kind of thing is also Su Ming's knowledge, because the Chinese side has been constantly negotiating on procurement intentions, the Su-27 has not yet ended, and China has put forward the Su-30 purchase intention, and the Russian side only cares about calculating how to make more profits, and does not think that China has been copying the Su-27 through various means.
Su Ming still only verbally agreed that he would not move Mikoyan to China, Su Ming said that since he promised, he would definitely do it, but if it is written into the text, it will be subject to a lot of restrictions, for example, the situation in Russia has changed, Mikoyan is no longer suitable to stay here, and it is still necessary for both parties to negotiate, this situation Su Ming will never allow it, who knows what Russia will develop, this is the case in countries where the political direction is uncertain, and without a stable political situation, it cannot be reassured.
As for the interests of workers, salaries and treatment, Nekhki has long discussed with Su Ming, like the follow-up service of Russian MiG series fighters, even if Mikoyan is willing, Russia will not hand over such an important matter to a foreign company, but this responsibility needs to be written into the agreement, if Russia needs, Mikoyan must cooperate with all the requirements of the Ministry of Defense, of course, pay according to the price.
The United States immediately expressed its protest against Russia's violation of the Vasena Agreement and the export of controlled technology to China, and at the same time, Britain and France and other countries also expressed concern about this matter and hoped that Russia would make this matter public.
The Wasana Agreement is a new treaty established by Western countries to control the export of high-tech and weapons to certain countries after the dissolution of Pakistan's overall planning, and the main target country is China, which is different from Pakistan's overall planning, this time Russia has also joined in, because this is only an agreement, and it does not have a mandatory surname clause like Pakistan's overall planning, Russia did not take it too seriously, and the United States still shouted for a long time when the plane was exported, and in the end it was not good.
Russia can ignore the opinions of the Americans, but India, a consistent arms exporter and a loyal buyer of the wrongs, has spoken, but Russia cannot but listen, India is mainly equipped with MiG series aircraft, and has only recently purchased dozens of Su-30s, and both China and Pakistan are potential war opponents of India, but these two countries are Su's bases.
No matter whether the Mikoyan Design Bureau falls into the hands of either of these two countries, most of India's air force no longer have any technical secrets to speak of, how can India be willing to buy the Mikoyan Design Bureau itself rather than let the Mikoyan Design Bureau fall into the hands of China or Pakistan, although Russia explained to him that the Mikoyan Design Bureau was purchased by a commercial company and would not do anything that violates commercial principles, and at the same time, Russia offered to help India's active fighters modernize and improve it to avoid future troubles.
In fact, India's current main fighter is still the old model of the MiG-21, because whether it is the MiG-29K or the Mirage 2000, it is a bit too advanced for India's flight personnel and ground crews to fully master the use and maintenance of these two aircraft, and the MiG-21, I believe that the Russians do not have the Chinese to play.
Russia's appeasement did not dispel India's worries, and India continued to send higher-level representatives to stop the acquisition, especially since India is a country after all, and in terms of financial resources and influence, the Su family is far inferior to others, and Russia's official attitude has gradually changed.
The people of the Mikoyan Design Bureau said that they only hoped to be acquired by Su, and no matter how good the technology fell into the hands of the Indians, it would be a waste, not to mention that even people brought technology, there was no soil for Mikoyan's development in India, and the cost of the Indian Ministry of Defense was always only one-xx of the budget, and xx represented double digits.
As the supplier of India's main fighters, Mikoyan knows India very well, in their opinion, India's problems in weapons research and development are not to blame scientific researchers, although when publicizing, the funds for the research and development of these weapons and equipment are very huge, but the actual research and development personnel are very few, Mikoyan in the past, I am afraid that the treatment is worse than theirs, Neheki naturally refused to agree.
Even Putin does not agree with Mikoyan's sale to India, in his opinion, it is best not to sell, if it is sold, it is better to find a more comfortable buyer, such as Su's, at least Mikoyan can develop and grow, sell to Indians, in a few years Mikoyan is afraid that it will cease to exist, but unfortunately other people do not think so, and also want to let Su's compete with Indian cranes and mussels, so that they can profit from it.
Unexpectedly, Su Ming didn't even fight at all, the negotiations that had already reached the signing stage stopped, and Su's loan also stopped, so Su Ming drove Fei Zijun back and began to take Sun Xian to haunt the scenic spots of these nearby countries, and there was no good thing to be interrupted.
Su Ming is really not angry, anyway, he doesn't have any intention to win, he is naturally happy to be able to buy, and there is no big loss if he can't buy it, these politicians, all of them cherish their feathers very much, and there will definitely be no possibility that the money will not be returned if it is not done.
And Su Ming's goal is not only Mikoyan, there are many targets that can be acquired, Russia is not only one Mikoyan, Sukhoi and Tupolev Su Ming are not sure to get it, Ilyushin should still have no problem, and there are radar companies to consider, but don't worry, let's wait for India to finish tossing.
Sun Xian proposed to let the country come forward, use the country's influence in Russia, and at the same time let the country provide some support, but Su Ming refused, as soon as the news came out, Sun Xian received several calls to inquire, those old men knew that Su Ming was not very easy to talk, and now Sun Xian was with Su Ming again, and they all called Sun Xian to ask Sun Xian to persuade Su Ming.
After the Indian people saw that Su seemed to have given up, they thought that they would stop the deal, and immediately went back to repay the merits, and threw the Russians there to look at each other, whether India bought it or not, or simply came to make trouble, but they didn't know that India was not very rich, and although there was no problem with the money to buy the company, the money for the loan to Russia was not so easy to come up with.
They don't know that the most critical point that the Indians are not enthusiastic about is that in the past, if others came to sell something, the person in charge of procurement had a kickback, but there was no benefit to the person who took the initiative to buy the company, who would be willing to contribute, since the transaction had been stopped, what did they spend that effort on, their own research institutions still couldn't eat, what did they buy another one for, and the Russians demanded such a high salary.
The Russians waited for the two classes to fight, but they didn't expect to wait for such a result, and suddenly felt teased by the Indians, and immediately took the initiative to summon Su Ming and asked for the next step, but at this time Su Ming put up a shelf, on the grounds that Mr. Fei's business was busy, and delayed the time, this time it was Russia's turn to cry without tears, but there was no reason, Su Ming's reason was very legitimate, such a business agreement must be signed by the general manager to be effective, and he let go of the shopkeeper, and it was not effective if he signed it.
After waiting for a while, when he felt that the patience of the Russians had been almost teased, Su Ming called Fei Zijun over and signed the agreement with lightning speed.
After the acquisition of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, there was also good news from the Ukrainian side, Ukraine wanted to follow the example of Mikoyan and sell some companies to relieve financial pressure, including Topaz and Antonov Design Bureau, but the difference is that Ukraine is not ready to sell all of them, but in the form of transferring shares.
Explain: The Soviet Union's military industrial system is similar to China's, of course, it can also be said that China is similar to others, the design body is separate from the production body, and most of the technology is in the hands of the manufacturer, such as the Chinese version of the Su-30 and the Indian version of the Su-30 are two different production plant design improvements, Sukhoi only provides part of the technical support.
