As soon as Gao Ning's words came out, the entire conference room fell silent almost instantly.

Adam Whittle's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say any valid words.

On the one hand, I was extremely shocked in my heart, and on the other hand, I was really unprepared for this before I came.

It was only yesterday afternoon that they received a reply that they could have a meeting to negotiate, and at that time they thought their price reduction strategy was successful, so they came over without thinking too much.

Outcome......

In short, after George, who was sitting at the head of the British side, heard this statement, his first thought was-

Are the Chinese people afraid that they are bluffing?

A year ago, you still had 30% of your core components that could not be produced domestically, and you had to buy second-hand from Rolls-Royce's inventory to replenish them, and you were also ready to buy the production technology of these components at a high price.

As a result, it's only been less than 11 months, and now you say that even the improved model has been made?

Reasonable?

And an improved model that we can't even deliver?

Let's not talk about how Huaxia's technical level jumped three feet high, and the localization of Spey was completed.

Let's just say that if this is the case, what are you doing in the first two years of tossing this big circle and setting up a joint venture company?

How about teasing us brothers?

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem like it.

Bluffing, in the end, is nothing more than to sit on the ground and pay back the money.

But the other party's posture is not called flipping the table, it is simply smashing the table.

The crowd on Luo Luo's side looked at each other dumbfounded, and there was no need for the pickaxe to continue to speak, and they all waited for the other party's response with the mentality of watching fun.

The people sitting in the conference room are all old fritters who have been in charge of negotiating with Rollo in the past two years, and they have not been angry with the British.

It was only after a long time that George, who had finally recovered from the shock, began to rack his brains to organize the language.

"Aero engine is a complex system, and if we do not fully consider the overall design, we cannot guarantee the consequences of hastily changing part of the structure......

Obviously, in the case of complete psychological preparation, all he can think of is this old-fashioned method.

This reply directly gave Ren Bingda a smile:

"Mr. George Brin, I need to remind you that your company did not provide after-sales support services for the aero engines purchased by us......"

The introduction of Spey is a confused account made in a special period, not to mention Rolls-Royce, even if there are many things that Huaxia can't understand.

This wasn't a good thing, but it could be used to ridicule at times like these......

Sure enough, George immediately lost his fire.

Gao Ning next to him then continued:

"Actually, Mr. Brynn, if we can, we don't want to spend additional resources to make design improvements to an old engine like Spey, and to put it bluntly, it's still your Rolls-Royce problem."

"Our problem?"

The verbal bombardment of the two has confused the already helpless Rollo side.

"Of course, twenty years ago, when we first wanted to introduce a turbofan engine, the data given by your company in the promotional materials could reach 8, and we were ready to use Spey as the power of future fighters, attack aircraft and bombers at the same time."

Gao Ning took advantage of the victory to pursue and began to continue to dig over old accounts:

"As a result, after our senior technical personnel went to your country to personally inspect, they found that your propaganda materials were extremely watery, and the real thrust-to-weight ratio of Spey was only 5 levels, not to mention, due to the lack of aftercombustion speed, there was no way to work in an environment of more than 1.8 times the speed of sound, which led to a significant narrowing of the installed object."

"Not to mention the fighter, even the power as a fighter-bomber is very reluctant, so our side has no choice but to make limited improvements on the original basis......"

In a word, we're all wiping your ass for Rollo.

George Bryn's mind was no longer able to turn around, but he instinctively felt as if something was wrong.

In the mid-70s, he hadn't graduated from college yet, and he really didn't know about the hype of water injection.

But even if this is the case, Spey has been using this model for 20 years, and it can't be a problem that was suddenly discovered this year.

Moreover, it has nothing to do with the fact that you set up a company last year and threw away the business of this company this year.

What's more, he found that the topic of the whole conversation was already moving in an uncontrollable direction.

I'm completely being led by the nose on my side.

Although Rolls-Royce is a supplier of Party B, it is also Party B when he is a master, when has he encountered this situation?

Therefore, George immediately decided to ask for an adjournment in order to avoid the front for a while.

By the way, take some time to review what happened.

……

This kind of normal request, Huaxia is naturally impossible to refuse.

What's more, it was the other party who was anxious now, and if time continued to drag on, it would only become more and more unfavorable to them.

After the adjournment of the meeting, the British personnel soon left the venue one after another to go outside for a small meeting.

After Gao Ning watched the last person leave the room, he finally smiled:

"TMD, it was so much fun just now!"

"I wanted to spray them like this earlier, but I didn't have a chance in the past, but this time I finally caught up!"

As the deputy minister of the production department who is engaged in technology, he usually has a lot of contact with the people on Luo Luo's side in his work, and he is even more angry than Ren Bingda.

After all, the latter generally only needs to dock with the other party's middle and high-level personnel, and these people will still be worried at least in terms of face.

On the contrary, the ordinary British employees who were sent to the site often showed swagger.

Although Ren Bingda next to him was a lot more elegant, he couldn't help nodding:

"Yes, it seems that the phrase 'imperialism is a paper tiger' is not only applicable on the battlefield, but also in the shopping mall."

"It used to be majestic, but now let's take out a little bit of chips and go back immediately."

The venue was filled with a cheerful air for a while:

"If this is the kind of process in the future negotiations, then I will have to be rehired after I retire and come back for another 10 years."

"The good days of these foreign companies lying down and making money here are coming to an end......

"If you want to say, that's really always powerful...... The general direction of this negotiation is the ...... he has given"

"Eh, you say that, the turbofan 9 can be improved with the technology of the third generation of aviation development, and I heard that it is also because of Mr. Chang's matchmaking......"

“……”

The other side.

Compared with the jubilation on the side of the pickaxe Fei delegation, the atmosphere on Rollo's side was much heavier.

After leaving the venue, George wanted to find a place to smoke a cigarette and sober up, but was soon approached by Adam, who followed him out.

"George, do you feel that something is not quite right?"

Adam also lit a Marlboro and leaned against the railing on the side of the rooftop.

"Of course not, and very wrong...... How could the Chinese people solve those technical problems by themselves in such a short period of time? ”

George put the lighter in his pocket, exhaled a long puff of smoke, and said:

"When we negotiated the contract for the first time last year, I personally read the list of technology transfers they listed, which was basically the most core and the most difficult part, and even if we handed over all the technical information to them at that time, it would take at least two or three years to work on it...... But looking at their posture, it's not like a bluff......"

"So, George, I have a bold guess."

Adam's hand holding the cigarette waved in the air, looking determined.

"What speculation?"

George can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

"I think that all this may have been planned by the Chinese people for a long time, from the very beginning, it was a trap to lure us in, I have read their art of war books, what is this called...... Go up the house and draw a ladder! ”

Adam put on a look of "no one knows the Art of War better than me", and the more he said, the more energetic he became:

"Do you think, they only came up with a kind of aviation engine with performance close to F404 at the air show last year, since they have this kind of technical strength, how can it take 20 years to not understand the old model like Spey?"

"So I guess that they may have been able to produce all the components of Spey for a long time, and the reason why they signed a contract with us last year is to lure us into the Chinese market again, including this joint venture, and also to increase our sunk costs!"

"Now that we have invested our money in Huaxia and established the team of the joint venture company, they suddenly announced that they would not sign the following contracts, they must want to get something else from us......

In fact, the explanation that the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth makes people feel very reasonable.

"That'...... We must not compromise with them? ”

George asked tentatively.

He felt that he had received a bit too much information this morning, and he had almost lost his ability to think.

"George, what are you thinking?"

With a look of hell, Adam pulled George closer and whispered:

"Anyway, the supervisors of Huaxia are the two of us, and the two of us who signed the contract at the beginning, and it is the two of us who are responsible for docking with Huaxia this year, if the company's investment in Huaxia is lost, who do you think the company will let carry this black pot?"

“……”

George was not really stupid because he was stimulated to slow down his reaction, and naturally quickly concluded:

"The two of us?"

"That's right." Adam nodded,

"So, no matter what, we must definitely find a way to continue this business, as well as the Ciro Company, even if it is only superficially maintained!"

"But they have just said that they will not continue to procure, and this is no longer a matter of talking about conditions......

George has also worked in several third world countries such as Brazil in the past, but it was all Rolls-Royce's unilateral absolute advantage, and there is no market to say, where have you ever seen this kind of negotiation model of smashing the table?

On the contrary, Adam saw it more clearly:

"If there is really no need to talk about it, they just write back and say no."

"Since you called us over, it means that there is still room for manoeuvre......

After some explanations, George's IQ finally regained the high ground.

But he still has some concerns:

"You have a point, Adam, but if we make concessions first, then the conditions behind it will not be easy to discuss......"

Adam's answer is almost without thinking:

"The things given out belong to the company, and the wages we get are our own, and we can give more to the conditions or something......"

"But even if we promise something, the company may not nod?"

"What ...... this?"

This question made Adam find it a little difficult to deal with, and finally had to answer in a bad way:

"I think, since they have laid out such a big game, I am afraid that they have also been carefully thought out in terms of conditions, why don't you listen to it first when you go back?"

"Moreover, what is the actual situation, the headquarters does not know, we can also embellish it a little on the report, anyway, Huaxia is indeed a market with huge potential, I don't think the above wants to give up ...... so casually."
