Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

Let’s not talk about the miniaturization of the receiver. The focus of the problem is that the receiver needs to be changed to a bottom-mounted type. Only by changing it to a bottom-mounted type can it be installed in a Super Seven aircraft.

When talking about the hydraulic data of the lower hanging, Starovkov took out a very delicate slide rule from his pocket, which once again made the Chinese personnel look at each other.

This was a slide rule with a spiral card mark. Seeing the Chinese delegation, Starovkov looked at the slide rule with surprised eyes. He waved it in a showy way and said, "The products of Moscow Seiko are very accurate. If it reaches three decimal places, it’s not easy to buy, otherwise I’ll give you a few as a gift!”

"..."

Zhao Guoqing also has hundreds of scientific calculators in his backpack. High-end models can also do some simple integral calculations. However, major research institutes and universities in China have already popularized calculators, and even ordinary people have them in their homes... …

The furry bear is becoming more and more unknown to everyone...

…

Mao Xiong Aviation Minister Bekyakov doesn’t seem to have that much patience and keeps asking China how many units it wants to buy...

Director Ma said: "We hope that the Klimov Design Bureau can solve the problem of the engine casing hanging..."

As for how many PG33s to buy, Director Ma can't say. The Super 7 project is used to earn foreign exchange. In the international market, how many PG33s need to be purchased depends on how well the aircraft is sold.

The export sales route of Super Seven is exactly the cost-effective route that is currently lacking in the international market. The indicator given by Chengdu Aircraft is that it cannot exceed 10 million US dollars. And since we have radars that are not weaker than those in the West, they are as expensive as engines. The fire control radar system no longer needs to be outsourced, and the target immediately became US$8.5 million.

A plane costs US$8.5 million, which is impossible even if you think about it...

Klimov's quotation for the PG33 engine is three million US dollars. If China purchases 100 units, the price can be reduced. As for how much the reduction will be, I don't know. It is estimated that it will require arduous negotiations...

Zhao Guoqing finally understood, and he said to Director Ma: "Mr. Ma, what is the price we expect?"

Mr. Ma said: "Two and a half million, at most two and a half million. Chengfei must earn some!"

Zhao Guoqing nodded and said, "Mr. Ma, let me talk to them!"

"..."

Seeing that Director Ma did not express his objection clearly, Zhao Guoqing assumed that he agreed.

Waving Natasha to sit next to him as his interpreter, he opened his handbag, took out a stack of HSBC cashier's checks, and said to Minister Yakov: "Minister Yakov, here is the 10 million US dollar HSBC There is an HSBC office in Moscow, you can check the authenticity of the cashier’s check!”

"..."

The impact of ten million US dollars is still huge. At this time of Mao Xiong, it is considered a big sum of money!

"You want..." Yakov said!

Zhao Guoqing said: "Five PG33 engines will be shipped to China now. We need the Klimov Design Bureau to send technicians to China with these engines to solve the problem of the lower casing with the Chinese technicians..."

"Two million dollars per unit?" Sarkisov followed suit. Seeing the ten million dollar cashier's check, he couldn't say the following words...

Zhao Guoqing said: "If Super 7 succeeds, there may be a demand for hundreds or thousands of units in the future. We hope to sign a memorandum with you. For subsequent orders, we need you to transfer technology and production lines..."

"Hundreds of units, thousands of units?" This is considered a big contract worth more than a billion dollars, but Zhao Guoqing doesn't dare to talk nonsense about this, and there is no restriction in signing a memorandum. It's just that everyone has this wish.

Minister Yakov nodded. Unexpectedly, there would be major gains this time. The Super Seven project has actually been discussed with Mao Xiong for more than half a year. They are very clear about the needs of the Chinese side.

As long as the Super Seven is equipped with a PG33 engine, subsequent Super Sevens can only be equipped with a PG33 engine.

The reason why we didn’t go to Mikoyan first this time was because Klimov approved of the Super 7 project and the Ministry of Aviation approved it, but Mikoyan was against it.

The reason is very simple. The price of the Super 7 does not exceed 10 million US dollars. If it is developed, no one will want the MiG-21 and MiG-25 in the international market, and it will even impact part of the MiG-29 market.

Mikoyan had been lobbying to participate in the overall avionics design of the Super 7, but Chengfei refused.

The most profitable parts of a fighter plane are the avionics and engine. Your Mikoyan appetite is too big. Do you only have one rack left for the Chinese side?

The demands made by Zhao Guoqing during the negotiation were basically within the range that Mr. Ma could bear. As an unexpected surprise, the price was reduced by another half million US dollars. This shows that the total price of Chao 7 can be reduced by another half million, or it may become You can make half a million dollars more by flying.

And these ten million cashier's checks really blinded everyone's eyes.

Zhao Zhongshu wanted to ask Zhao Guoqing.

"Why do you bring so much money?"

A real ten million dollars gave the weak Klimov Design Bureau great desire, and their eyes were always looking at Minister Yakov.

Ten million US dollars plus a huge contract that may be one hundred million or even one billion US dollars later.

Well, Minister Yakov still wants to fight for it.

"The price is too low. You can only buy four units for 10 million US dollars. For the subsequent contract, we hope you will pay a deposit..."

When Yakov said this, the hearts of the Chinese personnel rose to their throats again.

Feelings are feelings, and business is business. Don’t you know what the furry bear is doing now?

Zhao Guoqing shook his head and said: "Minister Yakov, this is our final bottom line. If you agree, we will sign the contract and the memorandum. If you don't agree, then we can only regret it..."

Zhao Guoqing picked up the cashier's check on the table, put it into the lockbox in full view of everyone, and continued: "Minister Yakov, we have done preliminary research on the M88 engine of the French Snake Company and the RB199 engine of the British Rolls-Royce Company. , their engines may be better. If you insist on $2.5 million, I think at this price, we have more choices..."

"..."

Zhao Guoqing said that he bought the PG33 engine because it was cheap. Mao Xiong may still maintain a sense of superiority in front of the Chinese, but they are not confident in the West. The engine parameters of the M88 lag behind the PG33 by a large margin. So what can we do? People publicize it so much!

Tu Jinda quietly gave Zhao Guoqing a thumbs up.

You know how to negotiate.

Teacher Xiao Zhao came on stage for the first time and completely controlled the scene.

Minister Yakov, who wanted to take advantage of the Chinese representative, almost couldn't get off the stage.

He looked around. The comrades of the Klimov Design Bureau had some unnatural eyes. He felt that if this arms sale was illegal, they would definitely not welcome him.

As for the Chinese staff... all of them had very natural expressions... well, I feel like they are really not that urgent...
