"What do you mean? Are they still reluctant to deliver the full version of the model? ”

In Kuchma's office, Forbes asked dissatisfied.

"That's true, according to their feedback, the first batch of technicians we supported have not completed the work according to the contract, and in short, the KPI has not been met."

"So, it's normal for them to be reluctant to deliver the model."

"But at the same time, after talking to their business interface, they also gave me an additional solution."

"If we're willing to sell some of our shares, they can share the technology of this part of the model in the form of technology shares."

"Technology stakes?"

Forbes' brow furrowed, and then continued:

"Kuchma, you know, the Madasich plant doesn't belong to you alone, and it doesn't belong to you alone."

"We have injected capital into you through various means in the early stage, and now we have more than 26% of the shares in our hands, and if we want to make such a major equity change, we must get our consent - that is, the consent of the May meeting."

"I totally understand."

Kuchma nodded, a little dissatisfied.

Previously, in order to gain access to the Western market and the advanced technology in the hands of the other party, they agreed to the US side's equity acquisition request.

The other party, in the form of a white glove, has taken control of a large stake in Madasic.

But the problem is that all they offer is money.

The market, manpower, and technology promised before were not in place.

Are you kidding?

Is Madasic short of money now?

Not only Russia, but also China, India, and the Middle East are also rising, and the annual income is even higher than before leaving the alliance, do we really need your funds?

Don't you know what we want?

If you can't give it, don't stop us from asking for it.

Now Huaxia people have a technology in their hands that can almost be said to change the development path of the entire Madasic, and all that needs to be done is to sell part of the equity.

Moreover, not only the thermosetting characteristic model, but also the recent progress made by the other party in the field of aviation development is also obvious to all, and cooperating with them is not much better than cooperating with you?

So, after hearing this slightly threatening tone from Forbes, his first reaction was to resist.

As if noticing his expression, Forbes's tone softened:

"Kuchma, my friend."

"The strategy of selling equity is not completely impossible, but we have to assess the risks."

"Think about it, if you really use your equity to exchange the model with them, can you guarantee that they will do their best to cooperate with you?"

"You know the character of the Chinese people."

"They will only think about their own interests, and when they have the opportunity to take advantage, they will never be relentless."

"But they don't have a choice."

Kuchma interrupted Forbes and continued:

"The model had to rely on a lot of sample data to function, and the data they lacked the most."

"The model is of no use in their hands, they either work with us, or lock the model in the safe, wait for more than ten years, accumulate enough data and then take it out and use it."

"I think their choice is very clear-—— you can see it from their attitude."

"What they are asking for is not full control, but only equity as a link to deepen our cooperation."

Hearing this, Forbes nodded slowly.

"So, you've made your decision?"

"No, not yet. We have to retain absolute control, so if we want to do this, we have to cut our stake in the May, and that's what I'm here to do with you. ”

Compared to previous meetings, this time, Kuchma showed a stronger appearance.

This is a matter of course, because now they have enough chips in their hands.

Although this "chip" was not created by Madasic, it can only be transferred through it.

May meeting?

If you want to get the technology in the hands of the Huaxia people, then you can only go through us.

The choice is up to them whether to compromise or break up.

But in any case, Madasic has nothing to lose.

After all, the funds for the May meeting have already been obtained, and in the previous transaction with Dongqi, in addition to the model as an additional condition, they have also received consideration support including funds and raw materials.

There is no fear, which is what Kuchma is in now.

He went further, and Forbes had to take a step back.

Thinking of this, Forbes sighed and said:

"Okay, I'll give feedback to my superiors."

"This model is important, and I just hope that you guys will stay calm until the final decision is made."

"Otherwise, all the efforts we made in the early stage will be in vain"

On the other side, in the hotel room.

Meng Qinghao looked at the latest progress report from China, nodded with satisfaction, and drank the cup of Tieguanyin, which was so thick that it was bitter.

"Yes, the domestic start is so fast, it is estimated that it will be on the right track in two weeks, and when the time comes, we should also have a showdown with Madasic."

Peng Hui snorted and added:

"But judging from the current situation, the benefits we can achieve are not big enough-—— 230 technicians, a batch of equipment, that's all."

"Although it was able to support the smooth progress of the AGT110 project, it was clear that it did not meet our expectations."

"You know, our goal, but to eat the whole of Madasic."

"I have received news that the UKR is likely to update the exclusion list in the next two or three years, making a list of companies that are prohibited from selling and prohibited from foreign holdings."

"The Madasich plant will definitely be on this list."

"So, this is our only chance and our last chance."

"Where did the news come from?"

Meng Qinghao asked curiously.

"Spark Working Group."

"Spark Working Group? Are you kidding? ”

"They don't have any accumulation in the UKR, and they don't have permanent personnel, where did they get such sensitive information?"

Looking at Meng Qinghao's surprised expression, Peng Hui spread his hands helplessly and replied:

"I also asked this question but the answer they gave me was yes. Don't ask, don't ask. ”

"In short, the credibility of this piece of information is still relatively high, and from what I know about the UKR, they do have a tendency to do this."

"And the various departments of the UKR are really preparing for this, and the recent frequent shareholding changes of several large companies are preparing for this."

Meng Qinghao thoughtfully put down the cup, sighed and said:

"Unthinkable! This Spark working group is so mysterious, they actually did so many things in such a short period of time"

"Okay, anyway, since it's an order from the superiors, then let's just follow it."

"Let's talk about the next steps."

The two left the sofa and came to the desk, Meng Qinghao took out the plan he had written a long time ago, and said:

"Our first goal is to get the equity and reach more than 20% of the shares, and get a seat on the board of directors."

"Subsequently, we will use this model as a poison bait to launch the poison pill program and induce Madasic to start a new project."

"This has to be a huge loss-making project, and through this project, we want to completely drain their cash flow."

"In order to match this, we need further assistance externally."

"On the Russian side, our people can move."

"The situation of Kesh is two. You get the idea. ”

"I understand."

Peng Hui nodded in reply.

"The overall plan is that we have to get all the shares of Madasic by June next year."

"This is our first step into Europe, and it is also an important outpost for future arms sales, which can only succeed and not fail."

"Good!"

Peng Hui replied solemnly.

Subsequently, the two spread out their plans and began to gradually deduce the recent actions.

As the sky darkened, the lights in the room grew brighter.

These two people who are active in the shadows do not yet know that what they are doing now may go down in history one day in the future.

The news of the UKR is rising, and it will soon be sweeping across Europe

Two weeks later, the third round of negotiations with the Dongqi Group was agreed.

According to the new agreement, Dongqi Group will acquire a 21% stake in Madasic at a price of US$2 billion, and in addition to the 3% stake originally acquired through other companies, Dongqi Group's stake in Madasic will reach a total of 24%.

Of these, 12% of the shares came from the original May meeting.

Of course, the Dongqi Group was completely unaware of this.

All they know is that after the agreement was signed, a series of small companies whose names they had never heard of much gave away their shares.

As for who is in control of these small companies. Who cares?

All they cared about was Madasic himself.

24% of the shares!

It may seem insignificant, but in fact, it is the first step in a springboard.

With this springboard, and with Madasic's position in the UKR, Dongqi Group can completely open up the situation and, to a large extent, free from the shackles of technological blockade!

Huaxia's aviation technology has always been weak, but the reason why it is weak is not that people are not good, funds are not enough, and investment is insufficient.

The most important reason is the lockdown.

There is no way to absorb advanced experience, there is no way to take advantage of latecomers, everything can only be explored by yourself.

In such a situation, it is already good to be able to develop, so how can we catch up and surpass?

But now, everything is different.

Although the other side has not yet arrived, at least, the heavy curtain has been torn open.

——

Of course, the pure "technical" opening is F119, which is torn open by the thermosetting characteristic model.

However, the opening of "industry" must rely on the formed industry and equipment

The agreement was signed smoothly and the dust settled.

After the news came out, the headquarters of Dongqi Group held a grand celebration banquet.

Although several of the protagonists of this acquisition were not present, it did not affect the joy of everyone.

In the opening speech of the celebration banquet, Wang Decheng stepped onto the podium and made a rare long speech.

"This success is obvious to all, from planning to final implementation, it took us less than two years to achieve the first phase of the goal that is expected to take five years."

"Now that we have a 24% stake in Madasic, it means that we have a significant say in the day-to-day operation of this company."

"It can be said that this is not just a commercial success, but a success of our 'going out' foreign strategy."

"Since then, we have a military industry, a window to the outside world, and a road from the outside in."

"The Madasich plant will become our outpost, continuously introducing advanced technology from the outside world for us, and at the same time serving as our springboard to export our results to the outside world."

"It means a lot. I won't say more. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, it is your joint efforts that have brought us to where we are today."

"Of course, I would like to thank the Spark Working Group and the leaders of the Spark Working Group."

When talking about the word "leadership", Wang Decheng's tone was subconsciously heavier.

What he really wanted to say was "thank you Chen Nian", but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again.

After all, the secrecy requirement was there, and it was impossible for him to expose Chen Nian's name in such a public occasion.

But in his heart, Chen Nian is indeed the person he wants to thank the most.

In just a few months, almost all the technical difficulties of the AGT110 heavy-duty gas turbine have been solved, and with extraordinary foresight, an excellent "bait" has been created for Dongqi Group.

Without this poison bait, there would be no possibility of the follow-up poison pill project being launched, and it would have to go through extremely hard work to completely master Madasic.

It is even unclear whether it will be possible to squeeze Madasic dry before the UKR puts it on the ban list.

What kind of person is this?

Wang Decheng sighed and continued:

"Actually, I feel that when this project was first established, our goals were far less ambitious than they are now."

"We just want to cooperate with Madasic, get the full set of UGT25000 technology from them, and then slowly penetrate and strive to get more benefits."

"That's the limit of what we can do."

"But I didn't expect that now we have not only achieved our goal ahead of schedule, but even launched the AGT110 project."

"If someone told me about today's events half a year backwards, I would definitely think it was a fool's dream."

"It's a miracle. But often, the miracle worker does not leave his name. ”

"We can't get close to them, and it's hard for their story to be passed on to the world."

"But I hope that all of you here will leave a place in their hearts."

"We must know that it is their silent work in the darkness that brings us infinite light."

"Alright, that's all for it."

Wang Decheng put down the microphone, raised the wine glass handed by the assistant on the side, and then drank it all.

"Everyone, raise your glass and celebrate the victory!"
