Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

What others can't think of, Qin Yang can help them think of; what others can't do, Qin Yang can do!

The French were truly amazed. This President Qin was indeed remarkable, actually providing them with a completely new solution!

They were indeed designing a new generation of aircraft carriers, and they were also considering the issue of catapults. They had already approached the United States, but the Americans gave them an outrageously high quote that they simply couldn't accept.

Now, the solution provided by President Qin perfectly avoided the difficulty of purchasing catapults, and could even launch two aircraft simultaneously!

"But, with this design, all the space on the bow of the ship will be wasted, and there won't be room to park more carrier-based aircraft," Lucas said after a long silence.

"We have a saying in the East: you can't have both the fish and the bear's paw," Qin Yang said. "If you want to spend less money, then there must be flaws in other areas. It depends on how you make the trade-offs."

He had provided a solution, but they were still picking and choosing, complaining about this and that. Qin Yang was not used to indulging them, so he made it clear: if you had money, would you be so stingy?

"President Qin, are there any other innovations?" Raphael continued to ask. He had truly opened his eyes today.

Qin Yang frowned. "As for others, not for the time being. I need to look at the design drawings to have new ideas. I also need to go on the aircraft carrier to walk around and see before I can have a burst of inspiration. Okay, let's stop here for today. You go back and consider it, and give me a reply when you've thought it over."

Except for the very beginning, Qin Yang had maintained the initiative throughout the entire process, which made the French very unhappy. Now that Qin Yang had finished speaking, he was actually ending the meeting!

Qin Yang stood up, and Zhao Guodong also stood up, following Qin Yang outside. After they went out, he couldn't help but give Qin Yang a thumbs up.

"President Qin, you are really amazing! Those French were dumbfounded!" Zhao Guodong said. "From the moment we started negotiations, they have always been high and mighty. We have never seen them become passive."

"So-so," Qin Yang said modestly.

"President Qin, you said you don't understand the navy or aircraft carriers, but what you said scared the French. You are the one who understands naval equipment the most," another person said.

"I was just bluffing them. Now, it depends on what they choose," Qin Yang said. "It's also possible that nothing will come of it, so don't put all your hopes on me."

"The French will definitely agree. They still want to get more design solutions from your brain," Zhao Guodong said with confidence.

"That's all there is in my brain," Qin Yang smiled.

The French also returned to the hotel and immediately began to discuss it.

"The anti-roll device and deck layout are all brand-new concepts, but they are all very practical," Raphael said. "The East is indeed full of talented people, and this President Qin is the most amazing of them all."

"So what? They simply don't want to spend money, wanting to get one of our aircraft carriers for nothing. That's absolutely impossible!" Lucas said. "We are here to sell arms to the East. We need them to spend money to purchase our equipment. We want to make money!"

"We can definitely make money. As long as the Easterners buy our aircraft carrier back, they will need carrier-based aircraft. At that time, your Dassault company will definitely be able to sell a batch of aircraft. You just need to develop the Rafale fighter, and the Easterners will definitely purchase it."

"We must finalize the contract now."

"The Easterners are not stupid. How could they order fighter jets that haven't even had their first flight?"

"Okay, stop arguing," Loris frowned. "That President Qin really opened our eyes today, but we absolutely cannot give the aircraft carrier to the Easterners based on just a few words from him. We do need to make money. But…"

Speaking of which, Loris paused. "However, we need to extract more design solutions from President Qin's mouth. I think we can give him the design drawings of the Clemenceau and help them modify it together. That way, we can also learn more."

"Design drawings? Impossible, impossible!" Raphael said anxiously. "Even if it's just outdated design drawings, that's still our intellectual wealth. How can we directly give it to the Easterners?"

"We don't need to give them the complete set of design drawings. We only give the Easterners some overall design drawings. Even if they get our design drawings, they can't design an aircraft carrier according to the design drawings," Loris said.

"President Qin, we have brought the drawings," Raphael said again.

Zhao Guodong was immediately surprised. The other party really brought the drawings? Things are going so smoothly?

Qin Yang sneered, looking at a large-scale drawing spread out by the other party, with drawings of each cabin of the aircraft carrier inside. It looked very detailed, but it was still too simple. What's the use?

Of course, it's very useful!

The East is completely in the dark about building aircraft carriers, not knowing how to design the internal cabins of the aircraft carrier. Now, although it's only an overall design drawing, each cabin has been drawn very clearly. Everyone can know the specific structure inside the aircraft carrier and know what cabins are needed. This overall design drawing is also invaluable to everyone.

The specific design will be discussed later. Anyway, we will not completely copy this design and need to modify it based on this design.

"We can help you modify the design drawings to make it more in line with your needs," Raphael said. "President Qin, are you willing to work with us? Please rest assured, we don't want consulting fees. We will help completely free of charge."

Qin Yang nodded. "Give us the drawings first. We will analyze it first. After the analysis, we will negotiate with you on how to do it. How about that? You will have to work hard in the future. We may propose a plan that requires modifying thousands of detailed design drawings. This workload is very large."

The French looked at each other a few times, then nodded. "Okay. We are willing to help."
