The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

In principle, the testing center is only responsible for giving conclusions and is not responsible for analysis.

But in fact, the meaning in the test report is already very clear.

"The samples taken directly from the bulk supply this time are completely different from the previous ones."

Basically, it is equivalent to saying that after the supplier passes the first test and gets the contract, it starts to provide unqualified products in batches.

Moreover, the design of this substandard product is quite exquisite.

If it weren't for the small margin of the NH90's transmission system, there would be no problems in a short time.

Even if a problem is discovered later, it will basically only have a slight impact on the lifespan, which can easily be regarded as a normal deviation between the calculated results and the actual situation.

Almost no one would think about it from the perspective of substandard parts.

"Dr. Pierre, please calm down first."

Wang Xibo first briefly comforted Pierre, who was about to explode, then looked at the report in his hand and asked with a complicated expression:

"You...won't you do sampling testing on every batch of samples?"

"Dr. Wang, is this...it's a long story..."

Pierre, who sat back in the chair, shook his head and sighed softly.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xibo was explained to Wang Xibo the reason why this situation occurred.

Of course, Eurocopter Group will also conduct random tests on its products, but after all, destructive testing is required, and the cost of this bearing is quite a lot, so the frequency is actually very low.

In terms of operation, as long as you bribe any insider at the middle level or even at the grassroots level, you can make preparations in advance and deliver a batch of qualified products in a targeted manner.

Of course, this system has a lot of loopholes, but there hasn’t been any big trouble in so many years. The whole world, at least in the high-end industry, has been maintained like this.

Because every component in the industry chain should know that maintaining this seemingly loophole-filled quality system is the best outcome for everyone——

The cost of increasing the sampling rate, regardless of economic, labor or time costs, is simply outrageous, and it is a complete waste of resources.

It is better to maintain trust between each other so that everyone can earn more.

"Originally, of course there were people who tampered with the quality in the past, but they would not take advantage of this loophole."

"The most that can be done is to bribe a third-party testing agency to issue false reports. After all, very few parties can conduct testing completely on their own like us."

Having said this, Pierre closed his eyes in pain and tapped the report on the table with both hands:

"But now, here comes the first guy who completely breaks the rules."

“Once trust is destroyed, it’s almost impossible to rebuild it.”

"This set of things will soon become unusable..."

Thinking from a rational perspective, Wang Xibo can understand what Pierre said.

This kind of operation by NSK is equivalent to lifting the table for everyone to eat, which will greatly increase the operating costs of every link in the entire market.

However, considering that Hua Xia has never been to this table, it is difficult for him to have any empathetic thoughts.

"Originally, we have sent experts from home to investigate this matter, and they should arrive tomorrow morning. But it seems that besides signing and drawing conclusions, he does not need to do anything."

Wang Xibo looked at the appraisal report with a somewhat helpless expression.

After a slight pause, he raised his head again and looked at Pierre behind the desk:

"How are you going to deal with the bearing issue?"

"Although we discovered it in time and did not cause too serious losses, the test flight work will definitely have to be suspended for a while until the next reliable supplier is found."

Hearing this question, Pierre also sat up straight again:

"What to do... naturally it's a claim. This matter will be handled by the legal department, but it doesn't require you or me to put any thought into it."

"But I still need to write a few reports to explain the reasons for the problem to several departments of defense."

Since this matter really has nothing to do with Bingfei and Eurocopter, the follow-up processing is actually not complicated.

On the contrary, to some extent, it proves that the design produced by Bingfei Group is indeed exquisite.

Enough without wasting.

For Pierre, he is currently exhausted mentally and physically by the NH90 project itself. Therefore, although he hates NSK's fraud very much, after considering the overall situation, he decided to focus on technology.

On the one hand, delivering the aircraft as quickly as possible is the top priority right now, and entangled with NSK will not help this process.

On the other hand, as Pierre said before, the bigger this incident gets, the more damage it will do to the past set of market rules based on mutual trust.

Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, this matter will most likely just pass by.

At most, the subsequent claims and court confrontation may attract some media attention, and the NSK Group will be included in the supplier blacklist.

……

That afternoon, that is, the night here in China.

Chang Haonan, who was conducting a summary analysis of the components and test results of Turbofan 10, received a notification from Bingfei Group on the subsequent development of this matter.

He was so angry that he almost got into a fight.

Chang Haonan originally prepared a combination of punches to target the entire Japanese manufacturing industry.

After all, he never expected that the Eurocopter Group would tend to keep a low profile on this matter.

In this way, although NSK will definitely still suffer a huge blow, if the operations in recent months only involve a certain company, it would be a real loss.

Thinking of this, he picked up the red telephone receiver on his desk and prepared to call Lan Xinzhi from the Equipment Industry Department.

But when I put my finger on the number button, the number was not dialed.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally put the receiver back.

"call……"

Chang Haonan exhaled a long breath, calmed down his mood, and whispered:

"It's better to wait and see..."

If Eurocopter decides to stop here, it won't make much difference if he hits his combos earlier or later.

But if we wait a little longer, there might be a chance.

Gambling is a bit like gambling in a way.

You cannot control all external factors.

But if you can always make the optimal choice rationally, then with a large sample size, you will definitely win in the end.

As a result, he really had to wait this time.

When Liu Hongbo, who was tired from traveling all the way, landed in Marseille and finally arrived at the headquarters of Eurocopter, what was in front of him was the investigation report that had already been written.

"We have no responsibility at all in this matter, and Eurocopter's legal department will handle any subsequent matters, so... Professor Liu, all you need to do is sign here."

In Pierre's office, Wang Xibo pointed to the signature column at the end of the report with some helplessness and said to Liu Hongbo.

Originally, all three people should be present at this time.

But Pierre had just been called out by a phone call.

"Did they really buy fake bearings?"

After reading the contents of the report, the latter was so shocked that his eyes almost bulged out.

When Bing Fei reported to Chang Haonan yesterday, Liu Hongbo was already on his way to the airport, so he was almost the last to learn the truth among the relevant personnel.

"Although it sounds outrageous,...it's really that simple."

Wang Xibo replied:

"I'm also surprised that a Japanese company can be so brazen in counterfeiting and use such crude methods..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud bang at the office door.

Pierre almost kicked open the door and walked in angrily, mumbling something.

During this period of time, Wang Xibo learned some French under the influence, but the other party spoke too fast and could not hear the specific content clearly.

However, judging from some keywords, it should be some content that is not easy to pass review.

"Pierre, what happened?"

Wang Xibo tried to calm Pierre down.

"Just now, people from the public relations and legal departments told me that NSK Group rejected our claim for compensation!"

Pierre sat down on the office chair. Originally a white man, his face was almost as dark as Tyrell. He was obviously very angry:

"They said we didn't have enough evidence to prove that their group sent us products with substandard performance."

"what?"

Liu Hongbo, who had learned the whole story from the report, was immediately shocked:

"No, the test report has been slapped on your face, how can you still be so arrogant?"

"Their legal department said that the difference between the sample and the final product may have been caused by a subcontracting by our internal staff during the process, and we need to provide stronger evidence!"

Pierre also laughed angrily when he said this:

"I originally wanted to handle this matter in a low-key manner, but now it seems that I still have to teach them a profound lesson!"
