Chapter 402 Long-staple cotton for submarines(1/2)

Qin Tao showed no mercy at all and immediately exposed the other party's sweet dream.

You have a good idea, and we are not stupid. How can we let your conspiracy succeed?

The faces of the people in the Pyramid Country were all ugly.

When it came to purchasing submarines, they did not raise such a requirement because Qin Tao had already made it clear to them at the defense exhibition.

If you want to buy it, you have to make a cash transaction. When the final payment is made, the balance must be settled. We don't do credit. The other party will not repay the money you owe based on your ability.

Now, the other party wants to participate in the J-31A project and actually plans to do this. Qin Tao cannot tolerate it.

If you want to invest, then invest with real money. If you want to default on your debt? Then go as far as you can.

Xu Zhengyang thought it was funny. He said that the good customer is God? Mr. Qin is very friendly to many customers and can provide all kinds of benefits, especially to Lao Ba, but he is not so friendly to the Pyramid Country.

How is this going?

Could it be because when the J-6 was exported to the Pyramid Country, Mr. Qin was very dissatisfied with the other party's behavior?

Xu Zhengyang was a little curious.

"Mr. Qin, we really can't come up with so much funds at the moment," Mamish said.

"Then it's not too late to join you when you take it out. We don't have to look at it."

You don’t have money, so what are you going to see?

Qin Tao has no enthusiasm for these people, but these people are very enthusiastic!

They have ideals and ambitions. They want to be the regional hegemon, but what if they don't have enough funds?

At present, looking at the world, only the United States can develop stealth aircraft, and this kind of stealth aircraft is for its own use and cannot be sold. China's stealth aircraft looks very sci-fi. In the eyes of countless military experts, this appearance

The stealth performance is also quite good, which shows that China has done in-depth research in this aspect and is very likely to develop this kind of aircraft.

Therefore, they want to join this plan, want to obtain a stealth machine, and even have the qualifications to produce related components.

But, they have no money!

Qin Tao's attitude was cold, and the fire in their hearts was extinguished.

"Our country's income mainly depends on the canal, followed by long-staple cotton. We don't have much funds available every year." Mamish said: "Mr. Qin, please understand our difficulties."

The Pyramid State is an agricultural country, and its main export product is long-staple cotton. At the same time, due to its geographical advantage, they can also use the canal to earn tolls, and then there is the income from tourism.

It is not easy for them to raise US$100 million in foreign exchange.

Qin Tao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Long staple cotton!

There is also cotton in the country, and the output is not low. However, up to now, it is basically in a state of balance between supply and demand. If the export volume of clothing suddenly increases, then the upstream raw materials will definitely increase.

According to Qin Tao's inference, domestic light industrial products will be quickly exported to the Rainbow Country in the future, and the quantity will be quite large. Under Qin Tao's suggestion, Mingzhou Garment Factory has made preparations to increase production five times.

Even if you take the lead and order a large amount of fabric in advance, one day it will be used up and the price will rise if you order again.

Therefore, importing cotton from abroad should be a good choice.

"In this case, I have a compromise." Qin Tao said.

Mamish was delighted: "What can I do?"

"Don't your country produce long-staple cotton? You can ship long-staple cotton over and sell it to our country. You have shipped 100 million US dollars of long-staple cotton. This money can be used to invest in the J-31A

project.”

"Mr. Qin, you probably don't know something. You also produce cotton, and the quantity imported from our country is not large. If we transport 100 million US dollars of long-staple cotton, you won't be able to digest it at all, and it won't be able to digest it at all.

No company is willing to purchase our long-staple cotton in large quantities," Mamish said with some worry.

Mr. Qin is very powerful, but he is a shipbuilder after all, and he doesn’t understand things like agricultural products at all.

"Since we are good friends, I can help you." Qin Tao said: "You will cooperate directly with our Mingzhou Group. We will sign an agreement to import your long-staple cotton."

"Really? That's great!" Mamish said excitedly: "Mr. Qin, when we order a submarine, can we use long-staple cotton to pay the bill?"

"Yes, we can sign a long-term supply agreement. Can we sell the long-staple cotton next year, the year after that, and the year after that?"

"If that's the case, then we have to give it a 20% discount based on the international price." Qin Tao was a little embarrassed.

"Okay! The superiors should agree." Mamish nodded immediately: "In this case, our submarine order can be officially placed."

At this time, he obviously did not know that after the Rainbow Kingdom completely opened its doors to free trade, all garment factories in China would operate at full capacity to produce export clothing, and the upstream fabric merchants would double their prices because they would have the world.

Purchase cotton!

Then, Qin Tao sold the long-staple cotton from the Pyramid Country to these cloth merchants at double the price, earning hundreds of millions of dollars with a smile, while the people of the Pyramid Country could only watch.

Because they signed a long-term supply agreement! If they dare to tear up the contract, then the related submarine contract will be invalidated.

Now, Mamish is still very happy, because their long-staple cotton is unsaleable and can be sold to China, and the money can be used to invest in military projects. How cost-effective it is.

Now he is afraid that Qin Tao will regret it.

The cooperation intention was thus determined, including the plan to join the J-31A and the plan to exchange long-staple cotton for submarines. After all the relevant documents were signed, Qin Tao happily took them to the Land of Abundance.

The third intended customer of the J-31A came to the J-31A project office, where they saw a full-size wooden prototype.

In the previous research and development of fighter aircraft, wooden prototypes were a necessary process. The aircraft was always on paper. Only when it was on the wooden prototype could its specific appearance be seen and displayed to the audience.

Later, as we entered the stage of computer-aided design, this wooden prototype was no longer necessary. Using advanced computer simulation technology, we can even simulate assembly directly on the computer.

However, to be on the safe side, a wooden prototype is still needed. The J-10 went through this process, and even later made a full-size metal prototype.

As for the J-31A in front of us, the purpose of making a wooden prototype is even more obvious: it can fool international customers!

If you want customers to spend money, you have to make them feel that they are getting value for money. Many military aircraft sales are based on already having finished fighter aircraft and going to customers to perform flight demonstrations. The current J-31A uses international joint aircraft.

In a way that has just begun to be developed, this wooden prototype can attract more customers.

"Why is it black?" When the customer from Pyramid Country saw this wooden prototype for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh at its color.

Fighters of this era have begun to use camouflage colors, most of which are sky blue, so that they are not easily seen against the background of the sky.

However, the wooden prototype in front of you is painted black all over, so it is easy to spot it from the sky in broad daylight.

"You may not understand modern warfare. You can look at the wars in the oil areas in the past few years. Were air operations more frequent during the day or at night?"

The rules of air operations have been rewritten! With the continuous development of modern aviation technology, more and more battles will be fought at night. Therefore, it is understandable that the color of the surface skin of the aircraft has changed to black.

This will help you hide yourself better at night.

"Moreover, this color of paint is also because it is a stealth coating." Qin Tao continued to introduce.

Stealth coating!

After hearing Qin Tao's words, an officer from the Pyramid Kingdom couldn't help but stepped forward and reached out to touch it.

Qin Tao smiled and said: "There is a rumor recently, I wonder if you are interested."

"Mr. Qin, please speak."

"Not long ago, designers from Dassault Company went to the United States to visit the F-117. One of the designers was very interested and touched the surface of the aircraft with his hand. The Americans did not pay attention, but they did not know that this designer

The engineer had already scraped off a layer of the coating with his fingers and hid it in the cracks of his fingernails. In this way, the French obtained the secret of the invisible coating."

At this time, the Pyramid Army officer who was touching the model quickly stopped.

"Of course, the surface of this aircraft is just ordinary black paint. It is a model after all." Qin Tao smiled calmly and motioned for the other party to continue: "This kind of coating is very delicate. If you buy it in the future, then

It needs to be taken care of carefully.”

"You already have a stealth coating?"

"These are confidential and cannot be disclosed. Lao Zhao, please introduce this aircraft to your customers!"

Zhao Dangsheng not only has to engage in technology, but also in research and development. He has been very busy during this period. Now, his mind is full of flight control programs. He rubbed his forehead, and before he could speak, the customer continued to ask questions.

.

"The cockpit of this aircraft does not use the bubble cockpit commonly used in third-generation aircraft, and there is almost no rearward vision. What is going on?"

For second-generation aircraft like the MiG-21, there is a high dorsal fin behind the cockpit, which completely blocks the line of sight. Therefore, even if there is a rearview mirror on the windshield partition of the cockpit, it is a comfort.

In the third-generation aircraft, the cockpit has been upgraded. The pilot can not only expose his head, but also half of his body. The back is also unobstructed, and the pilot can even turn his head and look back.

By the fourth generation, it is supposed to be more advanced, so how can we regress?

"Because this aircraft has a vertical take-off and landing version, it needs to place a lift engine at the back, so the rear view is blocked. However, we can use technology to make up for the lack of rear view."

"technology?"

"Yes, we plan to install optical sensors behind the fuselage, so that you can see what's behind, below, etc. through the cabin. In the future, we will also use a more advanced helmet display system that can directly project the images captured by the sensors.

into the pilot’s helmet display system.”

These are all conceptual and proposed by Qin Tao. The specific implementation may take a long time, but we will definitely wait until that day.

These people from the Pyramid Country really just asked questions when they didn't understand, as if they were asking about the technology of the aircraft so that they could imitate it themselves.

Qin Tao did not interrupt these people's questions. He asked them as many questions as he wanted. After the questions were asked, he spent money when it was time to spend money.

Speaking of the cockpit, these people were interested again and wanted to climb up the steps to take a look. Then, they were surprised to find that the hatch cover of this fighter actually flipped forward!
