Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1357

“20 million? Are you sure you are not joking?”

Xie Kai looked at Sun Daogan and Su Xingguo dumbfounded.

The mind simply couldn’t accept it.

What a joke!

“With 20 million funds, I want to introduce the Su-22, a long-range strategic transport aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 250 tons. It’s too bad for you to think about it!”

Xie Kai looked contemptuous.

He himself did not dare to offer such a price to Ukraine. If he wanted to offer such a price, it is estimated that the other party would not counter-offer and would kill him directly.

This is humiliation!

At this price, even buying an An-22 is not enough.

Sun Daoqian looked embarrassed, “We really can’t get much…Yun-8 now has almost no orders. There are tens of thousands of people in the factory who need to support, and we have to take into account the technology upgrade. We just paid off the previous debt… This 20 million is also the reason why you have given a lot of business in the past few years.”

Sun Daogan continued to say that Qin Fei had a hard time.

Su Xingguo nodded and added.

“Xie Kai, it’s not that we don’t want to pay more. Without financial allocation, we just rely on OEM for you… I really can’t pay much…”

The two old guys are completely complaining to Xie Kai.

It made Xie Kai feel like Huang Shiren who forced Yang Bailao to sell his daughters…

“What can we do now? Tomorrow will be formally negotiated with the other party. If you can’t get the money, this cooperation is probably impossible… This is not the cooperation with the Soviet Aviation Industry Department and the Military Industrial Committee. The Soviet Union can use light industry. For product debt repayment, Ukraine will never agree to exchange light industrial products for aircraft technology.”

Xie Kai didn’t want to hear the two complaints.

He didn’t know how to negotiate with Ukrainians under the current situation.

Originally, I thought, no matter how little Qin Fei has money, he can still put out 300 to 400 million. These years, he has cooperated with 10 groups of transport companies, and even the C-910 large aircraft is handed over to Qin Fei for production. How much profit is Xie Kai Naturally know.

But now the other party, a poor peasant, is only willing to give 20 million when he encounters the situation of the rich man who is collecting the accounts, and all kinds of complaints…

Sun Daogan was embarrassed, “Xie Kai, is it really impossible for China CITIC Bank to lend money?”

Xie Kai shook his head and looked at them.

“China CITIC Bank is also under great financial pressure. Many of our scientific research projects have borrowed from CITIC… This time we cooperated with the Soviet Union to introduce the full set of production technologies for the Su-27. The production of fighter aircraft in Argentina was all loaned by CITIC Bank… These funds Add up to more than 7 or 8 billion.”

Xie Kai cannot guarantee.

At present, China CITIC Bank does not have so much funds to issue loans. What’s more, a bank can’t just lend to 404 units, can it?

Both Sun Daoqian and Su Xingguo also knew that the capital of China CITIC Bank was mainly 404’s equipment sales.

Without sufficient funds to issue loans, this matter becomes tricky.

“But what should we do now? We won’t be able to raise much money in the short term…”

Even if Xie Kai feels dissatisfied, he can’t help but talk about it now.

Qin Fei is the best unit to digest An-22. 404 has worked with them for so many years and understands Qin Fei’s situation.

Switching to cooperating with XAC, the two sides will have to run-in for a long time…

“Okay, I will contact them tomorrow to see the situation. If it is really impossible, I can only apply for funds from the military. If the Air Force is unwilling and unable to spend money, it has to give up the introduction.”

Xie Kai’s words directly caused the two people’s hearts to hang up.

Even Xie Kai said that if he can’t find the funds, he will give up. Once he gives up, there is no chance.

Early the next morning, Liu Dongsheng arrived at the hotel.

He helped the Soviets pick Xie Kai to negotiate.

Xie Kai was a little surprised.

“Uncle, why are you here to pick us up? Shouldn’t it be from Antonov? At least it should be from the Ministry of Aviation Industry!”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Xie Kai couldn’t figure it out, and Liu Dongsheng had nothing to do with this negotiation.

Too much participation will make Ukrainians doubt their relationship.

“You go alone?” Liu Dongsheng did not answer Xie Kai’s words, but asked Xie Kai how to come out alone. “Didn’t Qin Fei’s people have arrived?”

“Don’t mention it, Bai Yanjun did not agree to introduce An-22. People from Qin Fei came, but they were unwilling to pay…now it is impossible to let them contact Ukrainians. Besides, they are not suitable for contacting Ukrainians now. Once we show our thoughts, the people from the Antonov Design Bureau will definitely ask for prices.”

Xie Kai didn’t hide anything from her brother-in-law.

In fact, there is no money.

“Don’t you want the engine?” Liu Dongsheng was stunned.

“Engine? Are they really willing to provide engines?” Xie Kai looked surprised. “D-18T?”

They do want engines.

When the Soviets proposed to export the RD-33 engine to China, Xie Kai didn’t agree with it. That thing was too backward.

Liu Dongsheng mentioned the engine again. Obviously, the other party was willing to provide D-18T.

Originally Xie Kai thought that the Ukrainians were just using this to catch them.

Liu Dongsheng told Xie Kai about the fact that Diminov and others forced the people of Madsic Airlines to agree to export the D-18T engine.

Regarding Diminov and the Antonov Design Bureau, they have jointly pressured the Motorsich Aviation Manufacturing Company to agree to transfer the D-18T engine, a high-thrust turbofan engine equipped with An-124 aircraft, to China. , Xie Kai looked shocked.

How eager are the Ukrainians to reach cooperation with them?

“This is a good opportunity!”

Liu Dongsheng nodded, “It is indeed a good opportunity. Ukraine can provide the best things, namely large airplanes and aero engines. Isn’t the country engaged in large-scale civil aviation airliners? There are also military transport aircraft. Engines are more useful than introducing aircraft technology. It’s still big, and more importantly, Ukraine is now extremely short of money.”

These words fully prove that Liu Dongsheng has not been in vain in Ukraine over the years.

Did not spend the money Xie Kai gave him indiscriminately.

Ukraine wants to use D-18T engine production technology to bind An-22 exports, but Xie Kai cannot refuse it anyway.

However, the more technology introduced, the more funds 404 lacks.

The introduction of technology to digest it also requires a large amount of capital.

“The boat will be straight at the end of the bridge, so I’ll take a look at that time. If it doesn’t work, we will find another way.”

Whether it is An-22 or D-18T engines, China urgently needs them.

Liu Dongsheng never thought that Xie Kai really wanted the An-22 aircraft.

Originally thought that Antonov wanted to sell to China in exchange for funds, the reason Xie Kai refused it was to get engine technology.

This time it was not a formal negotiation, but just a pre-negotiation contact.

Xie Kai went not to the Antonov Design Bureau, but to Diminov’s villa.

There are not many people in Ukraine, the general managers and chief designers of Diminov, Yuliav, and Madasic companies.

Xie Kai was puzzled by such a battle, but he was alone, with two bodyguards posing as assistants.

Diminov and Yuliav both looked at Xie Kai with eager faces. The general manager of Madsic Company Bestrov and the chief designer Ivchenko both had no good faces towards Xie Kai.

Forced to provide engine technology to the Chinese, they think this is a conspiracy of the Chinese, and they have no good attitude towards Xie Kai.

Seeing that the other party was so urgent, Xie Kai didn’t say a word, and waited for the Ukrainian side to speak first.

Seeing that Xie Kai did not say a word, Diminov directly asked Xie Kai, “Thank you, what happened to the technical cooperation of the An-22 long-range transport aircraft?”

Xie Kai sighed.

“Minister, it’s not that we don’t want to introduce it. Up to now, this turboprop aircraft that is already outdated, our domestic performance is too backward. This time the cooperation with the Soviet Union is large, and we lack sufficient funds… After all, this is just our unit. There is no financial appropriation support for the introduction of technology.”

Xie Kai did not directly refuse to introduce An-22, but also stated their difficulties.

The introduction of An-22 is not so urgent for China, and it can even be abandoned.

Although this aircraft has a large load capacity and relatively good performance, the Chinese Air Force does not currently have the idea of ​​building a strategic airdrop force. I’m already short of money…

Yuliaf looked at Xie Kai and asked Xie Kai eagerly, “Since you are not interested in the turboprop aircraft that is the most suitable for you, press-22, then you are interested in the D-18T large turbofan equipped on the An-124. Are you interested in engine production technology?”

Xie Kai’s heart trembled. Has the other party reached such an urgent level?

How bad is Antonov’s life?

There is no concealment at all, and the D-18T engine is sold directly.

Her excited face was very calm, and she looked puzzled at the Ukrainian.

“General Manager, isn’t the engine used on the An-124 too big? It’s of no use to us… Besides, the introduction of this kind of high-thrust turbofan engine technology, we don’t have airplanes, so what’s the use of introducing engines?”

Yuliav looked at Diminov. Didn’t he say that the Chinese would be ecstatic if they provided this high-thrust engine?

The other party actually reacted like this!

It stands to reason that for negotiations, at least a few people should come from the other party, and now only Xie Kai is alone. Can this cooperation be negotiated?

Diminov looked at Xie Kai, somewhat puzzled.

He knew that what Xie Kai showed was absolutely different from what he thought. Didn’t Liu Dongsheng help out the test?

If Xie Kai has not experienced the cooperation negotiations with the Ministry of Aviation Industry and the Military Industry Committee before, he still does not know this kid.

The purpose of Xie Kai will never be revealed at the beginning.

Until the end, I will not easily say my purpose.

Throughout the process, the negotiating opponent could not guess his thoughts at all.

Speak out your purpose in unexpected situations. When it was released, the negotiating opponent had no time to refuse!

Diminov asked Xie Kai; “Thanks, do you want to introduce the full production technology of the An-124 aircraft?”

This sentence shocked Yuliaf, Madassic and others!

At the beginning, I didn’t say that I would export the production technology of An-124. Isn’t this kind of technology influential at all, it’s exported to the Chinese?
