The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master Chapter 486

Chapter 486 In the past, people asked for things from others, but now people ask for things from me.

As soon as Gao Ning said these words, the entire conference room fell into silence almost instantly.

 Adam Whittle's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he opened his mouth several times, but was unable to say any effective words.

 On the one hand, I was extremely shocked. On the other hand, I was completely unprepared for this before coming.

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

result…

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

 Are the Chinese people bluffing?

 A year ago, you still had 30% of core components that could not be produced domestically. You had to replenish them with second-hand products from Rolls-Royce's inventory, and you were also prepared to pay high prices for the production technical data of these components.

 It turns out that less than 11 months have passed, and now you are saying that you have even produced an improved model?

 Can you be reasonable?

 And it's an improved model that we can't even supply?

Let's not talk about how China's technical level has jumped three feet high, and it has completed the localization of Sibei.

Just say, if that's the case, why did you set up a joint venture after going through this whole business in the past two years?

Sure enough, George immediately lost his temper.

These people sitting in the conference room are all veterans who have been responsible for negotiating with Luo Luo in the past two years. They are very popular with the British. Now that they finally have such an opportunity, they will not let it go easily.

This is not a good thing originally, but at this time it can be used as a mockery...

It's a bluff, and in the end it's just to pay back the money.

Gao Ning next to him continued:

 Are you kidding us brothers?

After a while, George, who finally recovered from the shock, began to rack his brains to organize words.

 Obviously, without any psychological preparation, all he could think of was this old-fashioned method.

"Of course, twenty years ago, when we first wanted to introduce a turbofan engine, the data given by your company in the promotional materials was that the thrust-to-weight ratio could reach 8. Only then did we prepare to use Sibe as an engine at the same time. The power of future fighters, attack aircraft and bombers.”

 But the other party's attitude is not called overturning the table, it is simply smashing the table.

Everyone on Luo Luo's side looked at each other in shock, and Haofa's side had no need to continue speaking. They all waited for the other party's response with a fun attitude.

 Gao Ning took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and began to continue to settle old scores:

“Actually, Mr. Breen, if possible, we don't want to spend additional resources on design improvements for an old model engine like Spey. To be honest, this matter is still your Rolls-Royce problem.”

 “Our problem?”

This reply made Ren Bingda laugh directly:

The two people's verbal bombardment has confused Luoluo, who was already at a loss.

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

The introduction of Spey was a confusing matter made in a special period. Let alone Rolls-Royce, there are many things that China cannot explain clearly.

“Mr. George Breen, I need to remind you that your company has not provided after-sales support services for the aero engines purchased by us..."

“Aeroengine is a complex system. If the overall design is not fully considered and some structural changes are made rashly, our company cannot guarantee the consequences..."

"As a result, after our senior technical personnel went to your country for personal inspection, they discovered that your promotional materials were extremely watery. The real thrust-to-weight ratio of Sibei was only 5 levels. Due to the insufficient afterburning speed, there was no way to Working in an environment exceeding 1.8 times the speed of sound has led to a significant narrowing of installation targets.”

“Not to mention the fighter, even the power of the fighter-bomber is very weak. This is why we have no choice but to make limited improvements on the original basis..."

 In a word, we are all wiping your butts.

Although George Brin could no longer wrap his head around it, he still instinctively felt that something was wrong.

  In the mid-1970s, he had not yet graduated from college, so he had no way of knowing about propaganda water injection.

But even if this is the case, we have been using this model of Spey for 20 years, so it is impossible for the problem to be discovered suddenly this year.

Furthermore, this is not directly related to the fact that you established a company last year and abandoned the company's business this year.

More importantly, he found that the entire conversation was already developing in an uncontrollable direction.

 He is completely being led by the nose.

Although Luoluo is a supplier of Party B, it is also Party B who acts as a superior to others. When has it ever encountered such a situation?

 Therefore, George immediately decided to ask for a prorogation to avoid the spotlight.

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

Such a normal request is naturally impossible for China to refuse.

What's more, the other party is the one who is anxious now. If time continues to delay, it will only become more and more disadvantageous for them.

 After the meeting was adjourned, the British staff quickly left one after another and went to have a small meeting outside.

Gao Ning finally smiled happily after watching the last person leave the room:

 “TMD, it was so enjoyable just now!”

“I've wanted to spray them like this for a long time. I never had the chance in the past, but I finally got the chance this time!”

 As the deputy director of the production department who is engaged in technology, he often has contact with people from Luoluo in his daily work, and he is even more angry than Ren Bingda.

  After all, the latter generally only need to deal with the other party's middle and high-level personnel, and these people at least still have some concerns about face. On the contrary, ordinary British employees who were sent to the site often behaved with arrogance.

Although Ren Bingda next to him was quite elegant, he couldn't help but nod:

“Yes, it seems that the saying 'imperialism is a paper tiger' is not only applicable on the battlefield, but also valid in the shopping mall.”

“Before, we were all very majestic, but now that we have used some chips, we will immediately retreat.”

 The venue was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while:

“If future negotiations are like this, then I will have to come back and work for another 10 years after I retire.”

“The good days of these foreign companies making money here are coming to an end…”

“If you want to say it, Mr. Chang is indeed very powerful... The general direction of this negotiation is what he has given..."

“Hey, you said that Turbofan 9 can be improved with the technology of third-generation aviation engines. I heard that it is also because of Mr. Chang's matchmaking..."

 The other side.

 Compared to the joy and excitement on the Haofei delegation side, the atmosphere on Luo Luo's side was much heavier.

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

“George, do you feel like something's not quite right?”

 Adam also lit up a Marlboro and leaned on the railing beside the rooftop.

“Of course it's not right, and it's very wrong... How could the Chinese solve those technical problems on their own in such a short period of time?”

George put the lighter into his pocket, exhaled a long stream of smoke and said:

"When we had our first contract negotiation last year, I personally saw the technology transfer list they listed. Basically, it was the most core and most difficult part. Even if I handed them all the technical information at that time, I would still have to chew through it. It took two or three years...but looking at their posture, it doesn't look like they are bluffing..."

 “So, George, I have a wild guess.”

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

 “What guess?”

At this time, George can only act as a living doctor.

“I think that all this may have been planned by the Chinese people a long time ago. From the very beginning, it was a trap to lure us in. I have read their art of war book. What is this called... Go up to the house and take out the ladder!”

 Adam put on an air of "No one knows Sun Tzu's Art of War better than me", and became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke:

“Think about it, they just presented an aircraft engine at the air show last year with performance comparable to that of the F404. Since they have such technical strength, how could they not understand an old model like Spey for 20 years?”

"So I guess that they have probably been able to produce all of Sibei's components for a long time. The reason why they signed a contract with us last year was to lure us into entering the Chinese market again, including this joint venture, and also to increase our sunk costs. !”

“Now that we have invested money in Huaxia and established a joint venture team, they suddenly announced that they would no longer sign subsequent contracts. They must want to get something else from us..."

 After explaining the fact that the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, it actually makes people feel very reasonable.

“Then...we absolutely cannot compromise with them?”

 George asked tentatively.

  He felt that the amount of information he had received this morning was a bit excessive, and he almost lost his ability to think.

 “George, what are you thinking about?”

Adam looked like he had seen a ghost, pulled George close and whispered:

"Anyway, the two of us are the supervisors of Huaxia. We were the two who signed the contract at the beginning. It is still the two of us who have been responsible for connecting with Huaxia this year. If the company's investment in Huaxia is watered down, Piao, who do you think the company will let take the blame?"

 George was just stimulated and his reaction slowed down. He was not really stupid. He naturally quickly came to the conclusion:

 “The two of us?”

 “That's right.” Adam nodded,

“So, no matter what, we must find a way to continue this business and Siro Company, even if it's just on the surface!”

“But they have just said that they will not continue to purchase. This is no longer a matter of negotiating terms..."

 George has worked in several third-world countries such as Brazil in the past, but those were markets where Luo Luo had an absolute advantage and had the right to say the same thing. How had he ever seen this kind of table-breaking negotiation model?

 On the contrary, Adam saw it more clearly:

“If there is really nothing to discuss, they can just write back and say no.”

"Since we have been called here, it means there is still room for maneuver..."

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

 But he still has some concerns:

“What you say makes sense, Adam, but if we make concessions first, then the subsequent conditions will be difficult to negotiate...”

 Adam's answer was almost a no-brainer:

“The things given out belong to the company, and the wages we get are our own. We can give in to conditions and other things..."

“But even if we agree to something, the company may not agree?”

 “Is this...”

This question also made Adam find it a bit difficult, and finally he had to answer bluntly:

"I think since they have laid out such a big plan, they have probably carefully considered the conditions. Why don't we listen to it first after we go back?"

"Moreover, the headquarters doesn't know what the actual situation is. We can also modify the report a little. In any case, China is indeed a market with huge potential, and I don't think the higher ups want to give up so casually... "
