Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

On the flight to Xiangjiang, Zhang Zhenzhong couldn't help it. He leaned up and asked Tan Zhenhua: "Eric, has British Aerospace Systems really agreed to transfer some technology to us?"

Tan Zhenhua turned his face to look at him, and after looking up and down for a long time, he asked, "What do you think?"

Zhang Zhenzhong hesitated for a long time before saying: "I don’t think it should be that easy. I have worked for McDonnell Douglas for many years. It will not be so easy for a large company like this to make such a major decision, and if these technologies involve For the more sensitive part, I am afraid that there will be more twists and turns. At the very least, they still need time to convince their government to release export restrictions. Obviously, the technology we want is mainly concentrated on the overall flight attitude control system of a large aircraft. Navigation and communication systems, weather systems, fuel supply systems, hydraulic systems and other key core technologies. Once these technologies are acquired by China Xia, it is difficult to say that they will not be used in the military field. At the very least, use these technologies as a blueprint for development. There is no problem with a large military transport aircraft, because the properties and usage scenarios of the transport aircraft are very similar to those of the large passenger aircraft, and many of the technologies are common."

Tan Zhenhua nodded and said, "Well, Gareth, what you said is very reasonable, I think so too."

At this time, Zhang Zhenzhong, his face was so wonderful and wonderful. He opened his mouth, but found that he didn’t know what to say for a while. After holding back for a long time, he finally suffocated a sentence: "But Eric, you said at the meeting just now It's..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tan Zhenhua said straightforwardly: "I lied to them—well, actually, it’s not a lie. I did communicate with Mr. Hawke on this issue. He did not reject me in one fell swoop, but Promise to consider carefully, but it will take a while, well, I think I should be a little sure."

Zhang Zhenzhong: "...".

Seeing Zhang Zhenzhong's face full of consternation and surprise, Tan Zhenhua laughed. He said in a mocking tone: "Gareth, you must be saying that in your heart now? "Hey, this kid lie to his teammates, who is it! "Right?"

Zhang Zhenzhong: "..."

"Gareth, I have to tell you a trick-in fact, based on my experience, sometimes it is more important to lie to teammates than to lie to opponents."

Zhang Zhenzhong: "..."

"You see, the main problem we encountered some time ago is that, despite our favorable terms, we are willing to provide a long-term, expensive and guaranteed order, and we are willing to pay a reasonable amount for the technology transfer of the sub-system. However, some foreign suppliers still refuse to transfer these technologies to us. Because our negotiators know that China’s current industrial base is not sufficient to develop these sub-systems in a short time, and are willing to sell these sub-systems to us. The source of systematic suppliers is not sufficient, and the reason for the failure to form effective competition. In the negotiation process, our people have always been at a psychological disadvantage. They are worried that some core clauses cannot be accepted by these foreign companies, which will delay the negotiation progress. As a result, these subsystems cannot complete the R&D and delivery schedules on time, which prevents them from treating these suppliers with a strong attitude. It also encourages the mentality of these subsystem suppliers to try to stay on the market and strive for greater benefits. The whole process is that the pressure from the inside is transmitted to the outside, and it is used by others and fed back, causing greater internal pressure. The manifestation is that more and more people are asking us to abolish the non-systematic requirement explicitly or implicitly. Terms for suppliers to transfer technology simultaneously."

It took Zhang Zhenzhong some time to finally understand what Tan Zhenhua meant, and he couldn’t help but secretly admire him—Unexpectedly, his young boss was actually a master of psychological warfare. He was so cruel that he was even deceived by him, and he was so worried about him. Now, McDonnell Douglas was defeated without complaint.

However, although he understood Tan Zhenhua’s intention to do this, he failed to solve another doubt. He asked: "Eric, why are you so obsessed with Huaxia’s overall technology? If we are going to develop a military aircraft In the case of airplanes, I can understand you doing this, but what we want to build is a civil aircraft. In my understanding, a pure commercial product such as a civil aircraft should use the global mature technology and supply chain system to pursue its use. The safety, economy, and cost are the best results. Even if your approach is successful in the end, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the cost of research and development of this aircraft. From a commercial and operational perspective, this is very uneconomical. ."

"Gareth, you are right. If I consider it purely from a commercial point of view, it is indeed very uneconomical for me to do this, but I have my reasons, and it can be said that it is a kind of helplessness."

"What reason?"

"Because we are China."

...

When Tan Zhenhua got off the plane and rushed to the Xiangjiang Elizabeth Hospital, he was told that Li Shuxiong had a stroke when he was out to exercise early this morning. Fortunately, someone was with him at the time, so he was sent to the hospital in time. With the full rescue of the doctor, Li Shuxiong's condition eased slightly, but he was still not completely out of danger and was still in a coma, so he could only stay in the ICU for observation.

Among the elders of the Xiangjiang "Yonggang Club", Tan Zhenhua is of course the "grandfather" Shao Yifu who is closest, and the "ship king" Bao Yugang is the closest to him, and the one he respects most is the old man Li Shuxiong.

This is not only because Li Shuxiong is the oldest and one of the founding veterans of the "Yonggang Club", but also because when he was in Xijing that year, Li Shuxiong was the first to give out 500 when his family wealth was not rich. Ten thousand U.S. dollars is planned to donate to Tan Zhenhua so that he can build China's own passenger plane.

Although Tan Zhenhua eventually disposes of these money into project shares, he still remembers the old man's heart for China.

When he was in Demon City, the old man's words about "inheritance" made him unforgettable in his life.

So when I came to Xiangjiang this time, Tan Zhenhua decided to stay here for a period of time. On the one hand, he could go to the hospital frequently and chat with Li Shuxiong, who was awake but unable to get out of bed, and told the elderly a few jokes to solve the boredom. ; On the other hand, you can also take this opportunity to help "grandpa" Shao Yifu and other old men make more pots of tea to increase the relationship between "grandparents and grandchildren", and take the time to sort out your recent investments and help them prepare for the next step. Make plans and pre-plans for your actions.

It wasn't until mid-July that the January period agreed upon with Little Hawk arrived.
