Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

"Script? What kind of script?"

"The protagonist is an American naval aviator. The story begins with a carrier group encountering danger, and Tomcat fighters are scrambled."

Pellehac said, "I've read it several times, and it's really well-written.

It combines the protagonist's personal heroism, an enviable love story, the protagonist's change of heart after realizing his mistakes, and the outstanding performance of the Tomcat fighter.

This script will definitely win awards in Hollywood!"

"Grumman Corporation will jointly invest with the Navy to film this movie.

After all, the Navy has been worried about the difficulty of recruiting people in recent years.

Once this movie becomes a hit, a large number of passionate young people will sign up for the military."

"Pellehac, we are not talking about movies, but about how to break the current situation.

What we need to solve is how to sell Tomcat fighters to the East, or at least get the modification contract for their J-8 fighters."

"These two things are not contradictory.

We can contact General Qin separately to discuss the script.

He is a very resourceful person and will definitely have a solution."

"Why would he help us? He's from the East!"

"Helping us is also helping him.

We have already found out that General Qin helped to secure the Black Hawk contract.

The Easterners didn't have money and used bulletproof vests as payment.

These bulletproof vests are produced by General Qin's factory.

Now, if we can reach a cooperation, it means that their bulletproof vest factory can produce more bulletproof vests.

I think he will definitely do his best to promote this cooperation."

"Pellehac is right. Leave the script discussion to you," Billworth said.

On the other side, the Easterners' meeting continued.

"Those Americans are so hateful.

If they quoted several hundred million dollars for the modification fee, we would have given up.

But they actually asked to see our aircraft design data!"

Li Ming was extremely annoyed.

Yes, he eagerly hoped that Grumman Corporation could help them improve their aircraft, but there was a prerequisite: they had to be given a reasonable price for the modification.

They hadn't even started the modification yet, and they wanted the aircraft data first.

This was really shameless!

"That's how foreigners are," Qin Yang said.

"When Factory 132 cooperated with Marconi Company, I also participated.

During the negotiation process, the British were the same.

They pretended to be profound and asked for this and that, but in reality, they didn't have much ability.

The airborne radar they provided encountered many problems.

Fortunately, it was agreed during the negotiation, otherwise, they would definitely have pushed the responsibility to Factory 132."

"How does General Qin know?"

The memoirs of Old Tu!

Everyone has come all the way here, we can't just return empty-handed, right?

I don't care, anyway, I'm just transferring here to Sikorsky."

"General Qin, since you're here, you have to help," Old Liu said.

"Okay, Old Liu, I'll listen to you. How can I help?"

If I knew how to help, would I still be asking you?

Old Liu glared at Qin Yang, displeased: "Of course, everyone will think of a way together."

The meeting fell silent again.

"The only achievement today is that General Qin wrote a script.

The Americans are very happy.

General Qin also asked the Americans to film part of the scenes in our country.

Then we will definitely be able to get close to the Tomcat for many days," Old Lin said.

"Script?"

Li Ming's eyes rolled: "General Qin, can you contact the Americans privately tomorrow?

Use the excuse of discussing the script to test the Americans' attitude?"

"Contact privately? That's not allowed. It's against the rules," Qin Yang shook his head repeatedly.

This kind of thing cannot be done casually.

What if he defected directly?

Stayed in the United States and didn't go back?

There were precedents for going abroad for tourism and never returning.

"How about this? General Qin and translator Nie will contact the Americans together.

Anyway, there are other people in our team who can be translators," Leader Dong finally played a role and made a suggestion.

Nie Xiaoqian's identity is special.

She is not only Qin Yang's lover, but also the descendant of a big shot, with high awareness and high status.

Letting her go with Qin Yang is not considered a private contact.

"Let's do that," Old Liu nodded: "General Qin, the organization trusts you.

This is not the first time you have gone abroad, I hope you can complete the task successfully."

After the meeting, Qin Yang opened the door with the key.

The lights inside were already off.

He tiptoed to the bedside, took off his coat, pulled back the quilt, and lay down beside her.

The person next to him seemed to be asleep, or pretending to be asleep.

Qin Yang didn't care, it wasn't against the law to sleep with his fiancée anyway.

Because of jet lag and many worries, many people couldn't fall asleep, but Qin Yang slept soundly and felt very at ease.

The next day.

"General Qin, we would like to discuss the script from yesterday in more detail," Pellehac greeted everyone for breakfast and said to Qin Yang while eating.

"Of course.

Translator Nie and I will refine the script," Qin Yang said, looking in the direction of Old Liu: "Old Liu, do you have any instructions?"

"Good luck."

So, the others continued to visit Grumman Corporation, and Qin Yang and Nie Xiaoqian began their separate actions.

Pellehac accompanied them, half-heartedly studying the script for a while, and asked during a break in the conversation: "General Qin, what are your thoughts on our cooperation?"

"Your side is too impatient.

You asked for the data without even mentioning the price.

Everyone is very angry, thinking that you want to get something for nothing."

"Get something for nothing?"

"That is, you get our fighter data without paying anything."

The crux of the problem is here!

Pellehac understood that the cultural differences between East and West made the negotiation really difficult.

"General Qin, we don't mean that.

If we can't get the data, we can't estimate the research and development risks and technical difficulties, so we can't give a quotation."

"If you don't give a quotation, we can't give the data, because we don't have confidence."

This has become a vicious cycle!

How to break it?

"General Qin, can you give us a suggestion?"

"Of course, you should quote a price first.

Is that so difficult?"

"We can't quote a price.

What if we lose money if we quote too low?

What if you don't accept it if we quote too high?"

"If you quote too low, you can earn it back from subsequent cooperation.

Now we are only talking about modifying the nose, and later there will be modifications to the avionics and engine replacement.

You have plenty of opportunities to make money.

If the quotation is too high, we will definitely not accept it, but we can bargain.

What's so difficult about that?" Qin Yang rolled his eyes.

Pellehac nodded: "General Qin, how do you bargain?"

"Come, I'll teach you. When bargaining, you have to say this..." Qin Yang rattled off a lot, and Pellehac nodded repeatedly.

The Easterners are really good at twisting and turning!

"General Qin, do you have any suggestions regarding the export of Tomcat fighters?"

"It shouldn't work now.

We don't have that much foreign exchange.

The export of bulletproof vests is also a one-time thing, it's impossible to export them all the time.

Let's get this script done first.

When the Tomcat's reputation resounds around the world, many people will be tempted.

Delay it like this, our economy will develop, and then it will be logical.

Now we can only carry out the J-8 modification project, it is impossible to spend a lot of money to purchase Tomcats."
