Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

It's easier to do things if you have a goal, even if the general public won't let go; if you learn from it and learn from it, I believe the other party won't refuse. Of course, everything has a degree, which you still need to master. After all, Pratt \u0026 Whitney is a U.S. strategic enterprise, and many things are not that convenient. If you want to spend money to get technology from Heiyun Group without paying anything, then I'm sorry, but it really can't be done.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Mr. Rentschler, you know that Heiyun Group is not short of money. Therefore, I hope that Pratt \u0026 Whitney will exchange technology. I think this is very fair to both parties."

Hearing the exchange of technology, Scotty Rentschler knew what he was worried about, and it still happened. Major companies in the world know very well what kind of person Bao Zixuan is. There is no problem if you want to license patented technology from Heiyun Group. The premise is that you need to exchange equivalent technical patents.

If you don't have anything, then I'm sorry; if you don't need money, why bother to cultivate competitors? Even if you spend money to buy it, the amount of money paid is too much for ordinary enterprises.

Now that someone has proposed a plan, how can I just reject it? Pratt \u0026 Whitney's technology patents cannot be licensed to Heiyun, so why should you ask the other party to give you the technology patents? Just because you are an American company, there seems to be no such truth in the world.

Scotty Rentschler: "As a top engineer in the field of aerospace power, Mr. Bao still needs to obtain technology from Pratt \u0026 Whitney; I guess you may look down on us with our wealth."

"Furthermore, Pratt \u0026 Whitney does not have any technology patents that can compete with the three-rotor high-thrust engine. Let's talk about the price directly. I think this is simpler for both parties."

On the surface, he said it very politely, but anyone with a discerning eye could see it; this was a direct rejection.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I heard that the U.S. military is bidding for the next generation of fighter jets. I think Pratt \u0026 Whitney will definitely be among them with its technical strength and status. Regarding the research and development of the new generation of engines, Heiyun Group is also very I'm interested. I can definitely cooperate, maybe the effect will be better."

In September 1983, the U.S. Air Force awarded Pratt \u0026 Whitney and General Electric a 50-month demonstration aircraft contract worth US$200 million each. Pratt \u0026 Whitney's PW5000 is a conventional design that emphasizes the application of mature technology; while General Electric's GE37 is a novel variable cycle engine with a bypass ratio that can vary between 0 and 0.25.

Later, these two demonstrators were numbered YF119 and YF120 respectively, and ground tests were planned to begin in October 1986 and May 1987.

The F-22/F119 combination was selected after extensive ground testing and initial flight testing installed on the YF-22 and YF-23. According to relevant sources in the US military talking about the reasons for choosing the F119, the F120 is technically complex and has not yet been actually verified, so its development risks are relatively high. Moreover, the variable cycle design also increases the complexity and weight of the structure and control system; therefore, maintenance is more difficult and the life cycle cost is higher. When choosing, risk and cost are the main considerations, and technological advancement does not play a key role. Prior to this, the F119 had accumulated more than 3,000 ground test hours, including 1,500 hours with binary vector nozzle tests.

The U.S. military’s bidding for next-generation fighter jets is top-secret information. How does this kid know? Could it be that McDonnell Douglas leaked it? No matter how brave Little MacDonald is, he probably wouldn’t dare to do this!

But if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible. After all, that playboy can do anything if he drinks too much. But now it's just speculation and no real evidence. If it is really obtained through other channels, McDonnell Douglas will definitely be completely offended. And he is not an agent of the CIA or FBI. As long as it does not harm the interests of Pratt \u0026 Whitney; knowing who leaked the information, what is the point?

Scotty Rentschler pretended to be very surprised and said: "There is such a thing. It seems that we really need to investigate it carefully when we go back."

"And Mr. Bao, please don't embarrass Pratt \u0026 Whitney. Even if the U.S. military asks Pratt \u0026 Whitney to develop engines for its next-generation fighter jets, it is impossible to cooperate with non-local companies. So you can see if you can change the conditions, otherwise it will be really difficult. It’s hard to explain.”

As the person in charge of Pratt \u0026 Whitney, how could he not know about such a major matter? It was obviously an excuse. But at this time, you have to insist that you don't know, otherwise how should you explain it to the other party.

Speaking directly when it comes to U.S. military secrets, if Black Cloud Group is allowed to participate, then Pratt \u0026 Whitney will definitely be excluded in the future. Even if Bao Zixuan didn't say anything, he would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart. There are many things you can do, but absolutely nothing you can say.

The U.S. military will definitely choose home-grown American companies when purchasing, especially high-end, sophisticated and cutting-edge weapons. No matter how good the alliance relationship is, it is embarrassing; there may not even be a chance to bid. If you are better, you can study with the prince, and then you will be eliminated in the end! Even American companies whose bosses are not American will inevitably be excluded.

In fact, this is not just the case in the United States, but in every major country in the world. Unless there are really no local companies that can take advantage of it, they can only buy from foreign countries; such as the tycoons in the Middle East.

But doing that is very dangerous. Once an emergency occurs, the country will be sanctioned; foreign military industrial companies will not supply you. During the Falklands War, France banned the supply of Exocet missiles and fighter jets to Argentina. The Argentine people have unspeakable hardships, which directly proves that the great power of the country must not be controlled by others; otherwise, they will suffer great losses.

The engine developed by Pratt \u0026 Whitney will be installed on the next generation fighter jets of the US military. If the technical performance and other conditions are known to Heiyun Group. Then things will be difficult to handle, at least the US military will not purchase it.

It may be more troublesome after purchasing, if it is really when fighting the enemy; the engine can be easily locked by the enemy. If it causes huge losses, then Pratt \u0026 Whitney cannot escape the blame. The U.S. military will definitely not let them go given its urinary behavior. And for the next generation of fighter jets, the military focuses on stealth capabilities. If Bao Zixuan knows the technical characteristics of the aircraft engine, then there is no need to talk about stealth; the probability of being discovered is probably higher than that of a third-generation fighter jet.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Rentschler is really a qualified boss who knows how to share power. He didn't even report such an important matter to you; HP's management is really unique."

"Since Mr. Rentschler doesn't know, you can find out more. It won't be too late to talk when things are clear. We are now acquainted. You are welcome to come to Xiangjiang at any time. I will be sure to sweep the bed and welcome you personally."

Since you don't take me seriously, there is no need to continue talking. This makes Scotty Rentschler very nervous. After all, they are not the only company that wants to obtain the Black Cloud three-rotor high-thrust engine technology. Rolls-Royce and General Dynamics have long wanted to step forward.

It's just that I got the first chance, but you only have one chance; if you lose it, you may not know when the next meeting will be.

Bao Zixuan is not easy to fool, and at the same time, this matter is difficult to settle with money. No one in the world has more money than him, and he has a fanatical pursuit of technology; if Pratt \u0026 Whitney doesn't pay something, it will never satisfy this kid's appetite.

Scotty Rentschler: "Mr. Bao, although I don't know whether the U.S. military is developing next-generation fighter jets and whether Pratt \u0026 Whitney is involved. But even if Pratt \u0026 Whitney is really involved, the technology cannot be shared with the Black Cloud Group. After all, this is a matter of confidentiality, and if Heiyun is allowed to know the relevant situation, the military will definitely exclude Pratt \u0026 Whitney."

"I estimate that I will not choose Pratt \u0026 Whitney for any future projects; so I hope you can understand. At the same time, I am very clear that Mr. Bao has his own criteria for judging technology."

"Apart from Pratt \u0026 Whitney's achievements in aero-engines, it is not outstanding in other fields. Mr. Bao, can you change your request, or look at other aero-engine technologies for exchange? It is completely possible to evaluate the technologies provided by both parties. Puhui is willing to compensate in cash."

Since you have already said you don’t know, you must pretend to the end. But we have to give Bao Zixuan an explanation. After all, this guy already has the intention of seeing off guests. Talking about it next time we meet is completely an excuse. It's just that everyone has an identity and doesn't want to say it clearly.

If you don't show your attitude, then Pratt \u0026 Whitney will definitely not get the three-rotor high-thrust engine for a while. And it is also clear that the three-rotor high-thrust engine is in the cards. It is more powerful than Pratt \u0026 Whitney's current engine, and it will definitely not be comparable to other engines. In front of Bao Zixuan, Scotty Rentschler did not dare to be too strong.
