Chapter 824: Now that Im here, I cant come in vain(1/2)
When he walked out of the shipyard, Bault was still a little excited. Mr. Qin was really a personal figure and he also followed principles in international business. It was really touching not to steal the business of his peers.
His hand touched the pen, which was very warm.
However, when I got into the car, I saw the driver a little anxious: "Mr. Bault, I heard that the Navy organized an investigation team to carefully study the design defects of our MEKOA200 frigate."
"Design flaws? How can our design have flaws?" Bault shook his head. He was not worried about this. He felt that the people in Rainbow Country were a little more sensitive. Even if he deliberately found faults, he was not afraid because he believed that there was no problem with his design.
However, just afternoon of the same day, he was called to the relevant Navy departments.
Anderson received him in person.
"Mr. Bault, this time I called you over because some changes occurred in our contract."
"Change? What happened?" Bault became alert.
"We discovered that there is a major flaw in your frigate design plan," Anderson said.
"What flaws?" Bault was still very calm at this time. If the other party mentioned something else, such as the price was too expensive, he admitted that, but if you want to talk about design flaws, just kidding, German design is world-class, how can there be flaws?
"This is our detailed analysis." Anderson took out a document: "You can take a look now. If you can't decide, you can also take it back and ask other engineers to take a look."
Bault took a look and found that the document was as thick as more than twenty pieces of paper. What does this mean?
It is definitely not an ordinary defect, but a serious defect. Moreover, it will be analyzed clearly. This is done by a professional team!
Bault had an ominous premonition in his heart. He took it over and just took it for the first time, he felt his heart beating.
Analysis of water inlet problems of exhaust pipe cooling system that are ignored due to excessive consideration of stealth.
Water inlet in the exhaust pipe cooling system? This is really a big problem. Is it true?
He looked at it one by one and felt more and more nervous inside. He drew many pictures and conducted various detailed discussions, and had a lot of formulas in it. It should be very accurate.
"How is it, do you agree?"
"No, no, our German design is the most advanced, and there will never be such a problem. The conclusion of this document is wrong." Bault shook his head repeatedly: "Please allow me to send this document back and let our warship designer point out the errors here. How about it?"
"Okay, then give you a day."
"A day? I'm afraid this isn't enough?"
"A day later, if you can't give a reasonable explanation, then our contract..."
"Okay, we will. We will find someone to analyze the problem of this document immediately." After Bolt said that, he looked at Anderson: "Mr. Anderson, this matter needs your help. After the matter is completed, we will thank you."
"This is for our Navy, and I dare not take advantage of it." Anderson shook his head: "Let's do it for business."
Do business? When you were bidding, you didn’t get any benefits! However, if you use money to do things, now the other party doesn’t charge money. Could it be that this matter cannot be done? Who is behind the scenes? Mr. Qin? It shouldn’t be true, Mr. Qin is a very righteous person.
Anderson's mind was full of suspicion.
But now, if the warship design is flawed, it is really a big problem, so he has to go and do it quickly.
The computer was turned on again, logged in to ICQ, and connected to China. Anderson told the matter again, then scanned the file and sent it over. This was much more efficient than that of the telephone network.
There was also busy there immediately.
Bault waited in front of the computer, waited and finally got the answer.
"This document is right. Under harsh conditions, the cooling system of the exhaust pipe may indeed cause water inflow and damage the engine." The person in the computer replied.
"How is it possible? How could our designers make such a mistake?"
"We have just started designing stealth warships, and it is inevitable to make mistakes. This kind of mistake will only be discovered during the trial sailing. I really didn't expect that someone actually saw it in the design drawings. This person has very strong skills. If possible, recruit him to our group!"
Bault was embarrassed. How did I know who found it? Besides, the key is not this now.
"Then how do we explain to the Rainbow Navy?"
"Tell them that we are modifying the design drawings and it will be done soon, and the part that goes wrong is the chimney, which will not affect their frigate production. We will deliver it on time."
The video ended, and Bault still did not recover from his shock. There was really something wrong with his design! Can you please do this a few perfunctory words?
He thought for a while, then asked his subordinates to withdraw a large amount of activity funds from the bank, and went to visit one by one tonight to try to let those people speak for him. This matter can still be passed. After all, it has not been delivered yet, and there has not been any major event such as engine damage. It should be fine.
These guys have too much appetite, so they are trying to find a way to get the benefit of their own side.
With the activity funds, Bault went out, but when he came back late at night, he got nothing because he had not seen anyone! This gave him an ominous premonition.
On the new day, Bault came to Anderson with great worries.
"His Excellency Anderson, I visited your house last night..."
"We had a dinner together last night and everyone was not at home."
"Dining together? Where to have a meal?"
After Bault asked, he felt it was inappropriate. He had no right to ask this. Fortunately, the other party was not dissatisfied with it, and just smiled: "Of course it's on the yacht. OK, let's not talk about these things anymore. Let's talk about the serious business. You have already studied it. Do you think the flaws we found are correct?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "Yes, we think you have indeed found the defect." Ball Feature Head: "In harsh climates, the cooling system of the exhaust pipe may indeed leak, but this is not a big problem. We will modify the design to ensure that this kind of accident will not occur after delivery."
"That is, you admit it?"
"Yes, this is our negligence. Please believe us and we will never make similar mistakes. We..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Anderson.
"Since you have admitted that you have made a major mistake in design, you should be able to accept our return agreement. Fortunately, you have not started construction and have no investment. Therefore, we hope that you can return all our deposit and terminate this project."
Anderson said, bringing out an agreement.
Bault was stunned.
What? Return? Need a deposit?
"Mr. Anderson, this is not a big problem at all. We can solve the problem after modification. You cannot terminate the cooperation because of such a small defect!"
"A small defect? If we hadn't discovered it in advance, then when the construction was built and the seawater would pour into the engine, causing the entire engine to be scrapped! If it was a war period, the warship would sail in bad weather and lose its power system before it reached the combat waters. This would lead to our failure in combat. Is this your spirit of excellence?" Anderson said in an aggressive tone: "Because there are major problems in your design, our project must be terminated! All deposits must be returned, otherwise, we will go to the International Court of Justice to let the whole world know that the warships designed by you Germans are defective!"
Speaking of this, Anderson has entered the role, a painting of the attitude of the Rainbow Navy, and his mind is still recalling the scene from last night.
A newly built catamaran luxury yacht in the Shining Year Shipyard was just completed. Qin Tao invited these senior naval officials to attend the construction ceremony. That is, the people on the bridge that day came happily to support the event. Later, the yacht drove to the sea outside, and they ate and drank on the yacht, and even some women accompanied them to have fun. Just as they were having fun, Qin Tao asked everyone, do you want such a yacht?
Then there is no need to say, of course I thought about it!
Qin Tao told them that as long as they can order four 054 frigates, they will give each of them a yacht of the same type!
When Anderson thought of the beautiful yacht and the happy time spent on the yacht, he was very excited. What else should I say to give the project to Mr. Qin! Anyway, the Germans have now recognized that their warship design has flaws, so it is natural to terminate the contract.
As for selling information before and wanting to cheat Mr. Qin? That's all the past. At least Mr. Qin has come and there are new projects. Mr. Qin should thank himself.
Anderson felt at ease.
At this moment, Bault was stunned and recovered from his great shock: "Hissergeant Anderson, please don't treat us like this. Our personal relationship is pretty good, you must help."
"Oh, I want to help, but you should also know that the Navy is not the only one who has the final say. Because the flaws were found, all those who agreed to the project were implicated, and several of them lost their jobs." Anderson said: "Even if you want to help, no one dares to help."
"We, we can lower the price..." Bault gritted his teeth. It's better to make less than not, right?
"Can each ship be reduced by 100 million US dollars?" Anderson asked. If it is reduced to the same price as the East, there may be a turnaround. Dongfang is anxious, and President Qin has to give his side more benefits, which seems to be good.
"One hundred million? How is it possible? Four ships together will drop up to 50 million."
No matter what Europe does, the cost cannot be reduced. Among them, labor costs account for a large part. Their workers' wages are very high, and they will make a lot of demands at every turn. If they reduce 50 million, it is already considered a loss.
However, in the eyes of customers, no matter whether you are really sincere or not, in short, you can't afford to be high. In the past, you thought your price was high, but the quality was also good. Now I suddenly realized that there are such big flaws, so the customer will of course break the contract.
Anderson shook his head: "This price is too insincere, so let's forget it."
"We are not sincere? Is there anyone with a lower offer than ours?" Bault suddenly realized, could this be the conspiracy that President Qin had made?
Anderson also realized something was wrong. He seemed to have said something he shouldn't say, but now, of course he had to shake his head: "Of course not. Our Rainbow Navy will never just look at the price. You should go back and discuss it and quickly return our deposit to avoid making trouble in the international community and let everyone know that you have no ability to design warships."
This sentence is very lethal. Now if the Germans approve this result and honestly refund the deposit, they can still not break up. If they make trouble in court, the whole world will know that the German design warships have serious defects, and then their reputation will be seriously hit.
They can't deny it, after all, there is really something wrong with the design.
Bault's face looked ugly, and his head was messy. After coming out, his heart was still in a mess, and a familiar melody floated into his ears.
Glorious years.
Orientals must be Easterners making trouble!
It was obvious that he had said it well and accepted such a valuable gift from him. It was actually fake. Mr. Qin is too hateful, right?
"Go to the Shining Years Shipyard!" Bault said to his driver.
"Mr. Qin, you deceived me. You came here just to order the warships of the Rainbow Country Navy, right?" Bault was angry after seeing Qin Tao.
"Deceive?" Qin Tao shook his head: "Mr. Bault, our Mingzhou Group has always been upright and open. How could it deceive you? I think there must be a misunderstanding in this, right?"
"Misunderstanding? How could there be a misunderstanding? Because of a small flaw, the Rainbow Country Navy wants to break the contract with us. They must have ordered other warships. You must have done it. You found the flaws of our warships, and then told the Rainbow Country Navy to fool them into giving up purchasing our warships, right?"
Fortunately, I treated you as good people some time ago. I have been doing it for a long time, but you are doing it behind the scenes.
Bault thought about these things and was absolutely inseparable. Qin Tao was very angry there: "Mr. Bault, you are completely making a name out of nothing. Our Mingzhou Group has no energy to build more warships, nor has the ability to follow up the orders of the Rainbow Country Navy!"
"You have a glorious years of shipyard, and you can start construction here!"
Bault suddenly realized that he had guessed all of this. The last time Mr. Qin fooled him was not valid at all.
Hearing him say this, Qin Tao suddenly lit up: "Yes, we can start construction here! Why didn't I think before that this can also drive local employment, and Rainbow Country will definitely support it! Mr. Bault, you just said that Rainbow Country is going to break the contract with you?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Since they broke the contract, they must still purchase warships, right?"
