The Davids are smart, and they are the best business people in the world. Therefore, Qin Tao cannot achieve such cooperation if he only relies on provoking generals. More importantly, the Davids at this time have not yet

Think clearly about the impact of world police.

There have been many cooperations in the past, such as the Wei She-3 missile, such as the modification of certain electronic systems of the J-8-2 fighter jet. Since these projects can be carried out, the early warning aircraft project seems to be nothing.

They hope to make a business, 200 million for each aircraft, 600 million for three aircraft. With these funds, they can recoup their high research and development costs on Falcon. Looking around the world, it seems that they can't find a third one.

These two countries have such great ambitions.

Moreover, this is just the beginning. The land in the East is vast, and three early warning aircraft are definitely not enough. Now that I am used to using Falcon, I will buy more in the future. Maybe the total will reach more than ten.

Therefore, they took the initiative to propose a compensation clause to reassure the Orientals.

But the Oriental people are really relieved that Mr. Qin’s conspiracy has gone bankrupt!

During the following talks, Mr. Qin kept a dark face and said nothing. He listened to the conversations of other people present and Mr. Lin nodded in agreement to pay the other party a deposit of US$150 million in the first batch.

After one AWACS is delivered, another US$150 million will be paid, and after the last two aircraft are delivered together, the remaining balance of US$300 million will be paid.

Kaz's face was very excited. The deal was finally concluded. When the other party returns, they will definitely break up on bad terms, right?

However, Kaz still miscalculated. Mr. Qin was really good at making money, and he quickly found new business opportunities.

"Mr. Lin, now the Air Force needs three AWACS platforms. I know a place with a complete AWACS body. Would you like me to take you there?"

When he heard the monitoring news the next day, Boaz was filled with emotion. Mr. Qin really knew how to do business. If he had a quarrel with Mr. Lin, he would never do business with the Air Force in the future. Although he is now

Even if the complete early warning aircraft is not sold, but the body of the early warning aircraft is sold, you can still make a profit from it.

On this day, Qin Tao was no longer present in the talks. He was obviously still grudges. Boaz came forward in person and first apologized. He had just returned from abroad. Then he exchanged some details of the agreement, and finally signed the agreement on behalf of both parties.

contract.

That night, the other party held a banquet to entertain Eastern guests, and Qin Tao attended the banquet.

Many people came to the banquet, such as Idan, the person in charge of David Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., who frequently showed their favor to Qin Tao.

"Mr. Qin, under your leadership, Mingzhou Group has suddenly emerged and become the most famous shipbuilding company in the world in a few years. It is really admirable!"

David Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. is the largest private shipbuilding and ship repair company in David. However, their scale is still very small. The total number of workers and designers is less than 1,000, which is not comparable to those with tens of thousands of employees.

Compared with Mingzhou Group.

As for the types and tonnage of ships built, they are very different.

"We just seized a suitable opportunity." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Actually, your shipbuilding industry is also very good. Do you want to enter the field of LNG ships?"

Although the Kingdom of David is a small country, it has world-famous shipping companies, such as the famous Starship Company, which occupies an important position in international shipping.

However, their large cargo ships are all purchased from outside parties or even leased, and there is nothing in the field of LNG ships.

Hearing what Qin Tao said, Yidan shook his head helplessly: "Our shipyard does not have the ability to build this kind of ship. It is too big for us."

"If you don't have the capacity, just expand. You need large slipways, docks, and cranes. We can help with the construction." Qin Tao continued to lie.

Speaking of working abroad, it is very good to go to the Kingdom of David. The working conditions are good, food, etc. are not a problem. Moreover, as long as you work for a few months, you will receive a payment from the Kingdom of David when you return to the country to clear customs.

Extra bonus. (I heard it from a book friend who specializes in working abroad.)

Now, the infrastructure construction team of Mingzhou Group is also constantly growing. They have left their presence in the Parthian Kingdom, Laoba, and Rainbow Kingdom. Now, they can also come to the Kingdom of David to carry out construction, and the rewards given by the other party are

Still the highest.

Hearing what Qin Tao said, Yidan hesitated. It was not a good thing to rashly expand the size of the company. He must go through rigorous analysis to determine whether he really needed it.

"In this way, you can not only build large civilian ships, but also warships. You already have active phased array radar technology, and you can also build warships like the American Aegis system in the future." Qin Tao continued to lie.

Anyway, idle time is idle. When the banquet was over, Qin Tao really fooled the other party, and the other party decided to go back and think about it.

Qin Tao didn't know whether it was possible or not, but he just did it casually.

On the morning of the third day, the technicians who came here still stayed here and began to get into working mode, while Qin Tao, Mr. Lin and others embarked on the road to the Platinum Kingdom.

"We have been to the Chkalov Aircraft Factory before, and the factory director Mikhail and I have become good friends. However, this guy made a lot of money at that time, and I don't know if he has retired to the Western world to enjoy himself.

." Qin Tao said: "When I went last time, I saw an A-50 airframe being assembled on their production line. It was just 5% of the process missing. I don't know what's going on now.

If we can't buy it there, we can also go to Da Mao. They have dozens of A-50s in stock. We can buy a few of them and let them dismantle the parts inside and sell them to us bare metal."

If you want to build an early warning aircraft, you must first have a platform. It cannot be produced domestically, so you still need to find a way.

"Taozi, it's so relaxing when you're here." Mr. Lin said.

Qin Tao smiled: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, but you still keep me busy, are you embarrassed?"

"After we go back, we will sign a five-year flight license for your air transportation company." Mr. Lin waved his hand.

"Five years, that is, five years later, you can still continue to take advantage of us. It's unfair, it's so unfair. The country should open its airspace to prevent you from monopolizing it and give our private enterprises a way to survive!"

Mr. Lin knew that Qin Tao was joking, so he also joked: "Stop dreaming, don't even think about opening up the airspace below 500 meters."

The special plane landed directly at the Chkalov Aircraft Factory. When Qin Tao and others walked off, they were very surprised to see some strange but familiar faces.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Qin, let me introduce to you. This is the current chief designer of Ilyushin Design Bureau, Novozhlov." Sergey introduced to everyone. Sure enough, Mikhail retired.

His deputy, Sergey, became the leader.

In the era of the Red Empire, superstars shone one after another. In 1910, the teenage Ilyushin was still a laborer on a horse farm, and in 1931, the 35-year-old Ilyushin became the helmsman of the Central Design Bureau. In 1933, Ilyushin

Liu Shen founded a design bureau named after himself and served as the chief designer himself.

Since then, another aviation giant has appeared in the Soviet Union.

During the brutal World War II, the IL-2 attack aircraft became a nightmare for the Germans. After the war, Ilyushin built many passenger planes to benefit mankind.

In the 1970s, the old Ilyushin finally resigned, and his student Novozhilov took over. From then on, a new era began. Big guys like the IL-76 were under Novozhilov.

born.

Now, Novozhilov is already very old. Qin Tao was also very emotional to see this veteran in the aviation industry in a place like this.

"Mr. Novozhilov, at your age, you still go out in person, which is admirable." Qin Tao said.

Looking at Qin Tao's youthful demeanor, Novozhlov also sighed with emotion: "Yes, I am old and should retire, but I still remember when I became a formal employee of Ilyushin Design Bureau, I

What the teacher said to me.”

Novozhilov's eyes were a little blurry, as if he was recalling the past: "Now, you are already formal engineers with a monthly salary of nine hundred rubles. You have to work hard from morning to night like us."

With the high wages given by the Soviets, you have to give everything you have!

The atmosphere of Ilyushin Design Bureau is very upright. Even if Ilyushin finally left, the style of the design bureau is still the same. Even now, the Red Empire has disappeared, they still have to work hard for Ilyushin's future.

Work hard!

"Your Mr. Lin, isn't he still running around at such an old age?" Sergey shook hands with Mr. Lin: "Thank you for your hard work."

Mr. Lin smiled and said: "We are all restless people. For the sake of the motherland, just contribute a few more years."

Everyone walked towards the aircraft factory, and at the same time, they continued to chat: "Mr. Novozhlov, why do you have time to come to the Chkalov Aircraft Factory?"

"There is no way. The production plant of our Ilyushin Design Bureau is in Platinum Country. If we want to continue to develop, we must have a good relationship with this place."

In the era of the Red Empire, there was no selfishness. Everything was planned according to the overall situation. For convenience, the Crimean Peninsula was directly transferred to Ermao for management. As a result, hidden dangers were laid for the future. In terms of the aviation industry, he was responsible for aircraft,

The design bureau for aircraft engine research and development is separated from the manufacturing plant responsible for mass production, or even far apart.

Take transport aircraft as an example. The Antonov Design Bureau is located in the capital of Ermao, while the Aerostar aircraft manufacturing plant that produces the An-124 "Ruslan" heavy transport aircraft is far away in Ulyanovsk, 1,300 kilometers away.

The Ilyushin Design Bureau is located in Moscow, and the Chkalov Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, which is responsible for producing the Il-76 large transport aircraft, is 2,800 kilometers away in the capital of the Platinum Kingdom.

A country with a vast land has the capital to play like this. Moreover, this is also the experience gained from the war with Germany. Once the war breaks out again, it will not be blamed. (It is also said that Mao still has selfish motives. Various design bureaus are mainly in Mao.

.)

The exclusive aircraft factory of the Ilyushin Design Bureau is in the capital of the Platinum Kingdom.

It didn't matter in the past, but after the collapse of the Red Empire, trouble started. It's not that easy to continue working together. All countries have to serve their own interests.

"Continue development? Do you already have a new model of aircraft?" Mr. Lin also became interested.

"Yes, our design bureau has completed the design of the IL-476 transport aircraft. We are inspecting the Chkalov Aircraft Factory, hoping to produce the latest transport aircraft here and then sell it all over the world."

Il-476 was a name that was used briefly, but was later changed to the name of Il-76MDP-90. It is probably because it is easier to sell the Il-76 name. Of course, in fact it is also an Il-76.

A modified version of the Er-76, it is equipped with a Perm PS-90A76 turbofan engine and an improved Kupur-76M avionics system. Its performance has been greatly improved compared to the prototype.

However, the problems left over by the Red Empire made this aircraft lose hope.

It is no longer possible for the Chkalov Aircraft Factory to produce advanced transport aircraft in large quantities as it did in the past. It has lost its production capacity. Compared with the previous production capacity of dozens of aircraft every year, later, the annual output was only single digits.

, one, just two.

Even the largest order was signed that year, that is, Dongfang ordered 34 IL-76s and IL-78s. As a result, Dongfang shamelessly asked for a price increase, and Dongfang immediately changed the contract. As a result, the Chkalov Aircraft Factory finally moved on.

The end. (It is also said that Da Mao misappropriated the funds.)

For the Ilyushin Design Bureau, the best option is to merge the aircraft factories supporting the Antonov Design Bureau that remain in Damao. However, at this time, the Ilyushin Design Bureau also has no money.

If the aircraft cannot be sold, where can we find the money to merge with the aircraft factory?

"Compared with the Il-76, its maximum takeoff weight has increased to 210 tons, and its flight speed has also increased a lot. Its performance has been improved in all aspects. You have purchased a batch of Il-76. However, the Air Force and Navy

We haven’t been allocated a few aircraft, but you have a large demand for transport aircraft. Do you want to order brand new transport aircraft from us?”
