Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 697

“Promise? What promise did I give?” Xie Kai looked dumbfounded.

Haven’t said any promises before?

“They proposed to purchase only 20 aircraft and requested a production line…” Zheng Yucheng looked down on the Egyptians with contempt, but revealed the news to Xie Kai.

“Puff…” Xie Kai, who was drinking tea, spouted out just now in order to persuade Mubara to have a dry mouth!

“Twenty?”

Xie Kai thought he had heard it wrong.

“Twenty is also a lot of numbers.” Aliaf said dissatisfiedly.

Looking at Xie Kai and the others, a pair of beanbags are not suitable for dry food.

“They requested that we provide 5 of them, and we will provide the spare parts for the remaining 15 of them, and we will assemble them at the Egyptian factory. Each fighter will be sold at half-sold and half-delivered prices for the J-7, and each is 3 million U.S. dollars…”

No wonder the atmosphere is so tense.

Did the Egyptians come to make fun?

Xie Kai felt that the Egyptians were now possessed by the third brother’s house next door.

“Mr. Minister, for the technical indicators and technical performance of the Super-7A project, did our people not introduce them clearly, or did you not understand them clearly? So that you gave such a price?” Xie Kai returned to calm and greeted these Egypt in heart The eighteenth generation of my ancestors let my anger disappear.

The Egyptian was silent.

“How much do we offer?” Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.

“One plane will cost $12 million, and only 100 will provide the production line.” Zheng Yucheng said.

The conditions proposed by Xie Kai have been slightly increased. After all, during the negotiation, the conditions and requirements will be lowered.

“US$1.2 billion to buy a production line of light fighters, the price is too high.” Muhanad also knew that their counter-offer was somewhat low. “We cannot afford such a cost, nor do we have such a high budget.”

Internationally, the most advanced trainer is still an advanced trainer, and it is only at this price.

“Your Excellency, Egypt is a large African country and has a great influence in the Middle East.” Xie Kai knows that it is not so easy to fool the Egyptians. “If your country can produce trainers, I think it will not be limited to its own use. .”

“Will you agree to our export?” Muhanad asked in surprise.

I don’t believe Xie Kai’s words at all.

When the Chinese sell their fighter aircraft production lines, will they agree to sell them to other countries in addition to their own use?

This is to grab an order from the Chinese.

Internationally, any cooperation to provide production lines has strict limits on the production quantity.

It is even more impossible to allow them to export.

Therefore, many countries sell weapons and equipment, but never sell production lines.

How silly is it to train your competitors?

What Xie Kai means is to indicate that they can be sold to other countries?

may?

Will their superiors agree?

“Why not? We have to provide many key parts and components. Globalization of production cooperation is a trend. Expanding the export market is of great benefit to both of us…” Xie Kai said calmly.

Zheng Yucheng and others did not expect that Xie Kai would make such a suggestion.

Originally thought that the talks could not go on, Xie Kai would come up with a plan to exchange resources for equipment.

There are also many resources in Egypt.

The meeting cannot go on until now, and both parties need to digest and discuss the current situation.

“Xie Kai, what did you think? They gave them the production line and allowed them to export weapons and equipment instead of shooting themselves in the foot?” Xie Jianguo was very dissatisfied with his son’s behavior.

Not negotiating at all.

I don’t want the consequences.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

I know it above, it’s worth it.

Zheng Yucheng’s face is also unsightly. The previous 359 tanks agreed to build a production line in Pakistan and even export it, which has already made them very unhappy.

“Dad, Uncle Zheng, if you only rely on us to sell, how much do you think you can sell this fighter?” Xie Kai asked.

The two were stunned.

I had a budget for how much I can sell, but the project is divided into two.

“The price we want is somewhat high. For Egypt, it is indeed unaffordable.” Xie Kai sighed.

Weapon procurement contracts of wealthy countries are controlled by Europe, America and the Soviet Union.

It is not easy to grab European and American orders for 404 equipment.

“Isn’t there a resource-for-equipment plan before? Egypt also has abundant resources.” Zheng Yucheng obviously disagrees with Xie Kai’s proposal. “Their oil and natural gas can also be used to offset accounts. It is even more reliable than the two Iranian wars.”

Hearing this, Xie Kai only shook his head, “Egypt is not suitable for this kind of plan.”

“Why?” Zheng Yucheng and Xie Jianguo both looked at Xie Kai suspiciously.

It stands to reason that Egypt is the most suitable.

“Geographical location. Egypt controls the Suez Canal, and Europe and the United States fought the Soviet Union in Egypt for decades…” Xie Kai sighed.

Egypt is now in the hands of Western countries. Even if China has no ideas, if there is too much cooperation on Egypt, those grandchildren in Europe and the United States can do it?

Zheng Yucheng and the others are also aware of this problem.

Egypt has been unable to develop because of their geographic location.

Look at other people’s Gaddafi, there is no such an important throat, the small life is very moist.

If Libya changed positions with Egypt, Gaddafi would have been killed.

“Egypt is a big African country, and it has good relations with Middle Eastern countries, especially Saudi Arabia…” Xie Kai said, “Unless the relations with Europe, America and the Soviet Union are not good, how can countries that rely on oil sales purchase our weapons and equipment on a large scale? ?”

“Do you want to sell this trainer to big players like Saudi Arabia?” Zheng Yucheng’s eyes widened. “It’s not impossible. There are still tens of thousands of troops in Egypt to help Saudi Arabia perform national defense tasks.”

“The United States will agree? All Saudi weapons and equipment are purchased from the United States.” Xie Jianguo never thought about this.

He couldn’t understand Xie Kai’s brain.

However, this is indeed very beneficial to them.

“It doesn’t matter whether the United States agrees or disagrees. The important thing is that Saudi Arabia will support Egypt.” Xie Kai said with a smile, “For each fighter they sell, we can get a technical fee; moreover, the core components of each fighter aircraft are Provided by us, the Egyptians simply can’t make it.”

“This will cause technical leaks. Egypt is very close to Western countries.” Xie Jianguo said worriedly.

Chaoqi is responsible for some technical verification of the No. 10 project.

“As long as it is sold, it is possible. But these technologies are low-level, as long as we do a good job of confidentiality at the time. We are helping to build the production line, and we must provide technical support, right?” Zheng Yucheng doesn’t care about this. .

“Yes, as well as the final inspection, we must also be responsible for our technicians. Otherwise, the sign will be in our hands.” Xie Kai said.

Egypt does not have a production line for fighter jets, and it has always relied on buying aircraft to enrich its air force.

In terms of fighter production and manufacturing, there is not enough technology accumulation.

China must provide technical support.

When Xie Kai discussed this matter, the Egyptians were also discussing this matter in the guest house of the 132 factory.

“If it is a light fighter, the market is very small. The trainer has a huge market demand. At present, there are few advanced trainers in the world… With our relationship with Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other Middle Eastern brothers, we can get a lot of orders… “Aryaf said excitedly.

Someone will share the cost of buying a production line.

“Not only that, we can use this to cultivate our own fighter design talents in China, and even establish a complete aviation industry manufacturing system…”

“China’s technology in the aviation industry is not advanced, and they can’t even manufacture power systems…”

For the introduction of Chinese production lines, the Egyptians are excited to establish their own aviation manufacturing industry and develop on this basis.

While excited, there are great worries.

China’s aviation manufacturing industry is too backward.

Muhanad looked at the arguing subordinates and said, “This is a great opportunity for our national defense and military industry. Whether it is the former Soviet Union or the current European and American countries, they only want us to become weapons and equipment. The sales market does not want us to have weapons manufacturing capabilities.”

“China’s technology is not the most advanced. But it is the most suitable for us. They have never developed any industrial foundation until now. These experiences are what we lack…” Muhanad said while observing everyone’s reaction.

Everyone sighed.

It is true.

“Minister, the conditions proposed by the Chinese side are too high. At the current price, we need 1.2 billion U.S. dollars to get…” Aryaf reminded the minister, “We don’t have such a huge budget.”

“Therefore, the price must be negotiated. The quantity will not be that much!” Muhanad said firmly.

Both parties have made a decision, and soon the negotiations began again.

Every time I negotiated, I was so angry and extremely nervous that I could only pause.

During the suspension, there was no idle time. The Egyptian side learned in more detail about China’s technological level in fighter research and development.

“7 million U.S. dollars, 60 aircraft, this is the highest condition we can accept.” Aryaf once again raised their prices on behalf of Egypt.

But the other party simply ignored it.

“The latest and improved J-7 models cost tens of millions of dollars.” Zheng Yucheng shook his head. “Gentlemen, if you still insist, it will be difficult for our negotiations to continue.”

For several days in a row, some specific cooperation conditions of the two sides have been discussed.

But there are disagreements on the most critical price and quantity.

This transaction is related to the production line.

China is unwilling to give up the huge potential market and the opportunity to seize the market share of European and American equipment, and Egypt does not want to give up the opportunity to obtain equipment exports…

“10.5 million US dollars, 80 aircraft, if you agree, you can continue to communicate the details of the contract that has not been reached. If you still feel that it is unbearable, I think, don’t waste everyone’s time.” Just started school, seeing the National Day, Xie Kai Being dragged here is very disturbing.

After understanding the details of the double-issue Super Seven project, Pakistan has not had any opinions and has been urging for the signing of the contract, but the Egyptians have no consciousness of being slaughtered at all.

They can afford to buy high-end equipment from Europe, America and the Soviet Union!

“Yes, if you don’t want the production line, you can buy as many as you want.” Zheng Yucheng also said coldly. “If you want an advanced production line, but can’t afford to make money, is it possible?”
