The meaning of Chen Geng's words made Elliott Richardson's mouth bitter for a while.

Indeed, as Chen Geng said, this deal has a huge symbolic significance for the United States, not to mention that when the Chinese delegation purchased these retired "Tahe" helicopters, it carried the two banners of "earthquake relief" and "humanitarian relief".

As this deal is raised higher and higher, to a certain extent, the Pentagon is actually equivalent to being erected in disguise, there is no way, who makes it "humanitarian" in the current West It is absolutely politically correct, carrying this banner, buying not military offensive weapons, plus the practical need to win over China to fight against the Soviet Union, so for this deal, although the Congress has not officially voted on this deal, many congressmen have expressed their attitude in interviews with the media: if it is for humanitarian relief activities, they will support this procurement activity.

Not to mention the fact that President Reagan gave strong support to this procurement, and for this reason, he even mentioned this matter in a public speech for two consecutive days, calling on Congress to approve this procurement as soon as possible.

Feeling the hesitation of Elliot Richardson on the other end of the phone, Chen Geng felt that the heat was almost over, and his tone changed: "Your Excellency General, we have to look forward, and then Huaxia is also preparing to purchase gas turbines and fighter jets from the United States...... There will be more opportunities to make money in the future, you say, right?"

"Uh......"

Under the premise that Chen Geng's attitude was so tough, thinking that there would be an opportunity to pick wool from Huaxia in the future, Elliot Richardson simply got off the donkey: "What you said is that we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future......

"Of course. The corners of Chen Geng's mouth curled slightly.

........................

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen," Li Jianguo rushed over to thank Chen Geng: "Mr. Joterson came to tell us just now, saying that he has a way to persuade the Pentagon to reduce the unit price to less than $3 million...... Thank you!"

From the unit price of 8 million US dollars to 3 million US dollars, and some talk, Li Jianguo's mood is like a roller coaster, he knows that if it were not for Chen Geng, it would not have been possible for this matter to turn around so quickly.

"You're welcome," Chen Geng's mood was also very good, he said with a smile: "I'll tell you, there is still a lot of room for bargaining at this price, you can rest assured that you can go down the knife boldly, you don't have to be polite to him...... Well, if you have any questions in the future, just call me, you're welcome. ”

Li Jianguo nodded heavily.

After this incident, the entire delegation was completely convinced by Chen Geng, not to mention that Chen Geng himself was the general adviser of the Chinese side, even if there was no such relationship, they would not be polite to Chen Geng - every penny saved was precious foreign exchange.

"Mr. Chen, there's another thing I want to trouble you......

Looking at Chen Geng, Li Jianguo was very embarrassed, but he knew that according to Chen Geng's normal arrangement, he would fly back to Detroit tonight.

Chen Geng frowned slightly, and then stretched out again: "You say." ”

"Do you think it is possible for us to introduce 'aerial crane' technology?" Although there was no one around, Li Jianguo still subconsciously lowered his voice.

Well?

Chen Geng was a little surprised: Huaxia still hasn't given up on introducing the technology of "aerial crane"?

Li Jianguo continued: "We also know that the technical difficulty of the 'aerial crane' is very high, especially the difficulty of the engine and transmission system, which is far beyond the current industrial processing capacity of Huaxia, but even if we purchase the engine and transmission system from the United States in the early stage......

Chen Geng's mind was like a flash of lightning suddenly flashing!

He suddenly figured out why Huaxia was so concerned about the introduction of "aerial crane" technology: after seeing the powerful carrying capacity of the "aerial crane", Huaxia seemed to suddenly realize the importance of such a heavy equipment to Huaxia in all aspects, whether it is political, military, or economic...... This kind of heavy helicopter has a huge, irreplaceable role, especially for Huaxia, which is still in a state of confrontation with its northern strong neighbors, they realized the benefits of this heavy helicopter almost overnight, and feel that the more such heavy helicopters, the better, and it is best to produce them themselves.

"There are still opportunities," Chen Geng pondered, and said, "But this requires relatively high negotiation skills and entry points, and the price may be relatively high." ”

"How tall can it be?" Li Jianguo immediately asked.

"No less than $200 million," Mr. Chen said, "I personally think." ”

"Not less than 200 million US dollars?" Li Jianguo gasped when he heard this, the introduction of this technology actually cost the country so much foreign exchange? He couldn't help but say, "How can it be so expensive?"

Chen Geng shrugged: "There are only two countries in the world that have mastered the technology of designing and manufacturing heavy helicopters......"

Li Jianguo was speechless for an instant.

There are only two countries in the world that have mastered the design and manufacturing technology of heavy helicopters, and our country is still in a state of confrontation with the Soviet Union, of course, it is impossible to obtain the technology of heavy helicopters from the Soviet Union.

Chen Geng continued: "The total production of 'Tach' and 'Aerial Crane' is not high, it seems that there are only more than 100 aircraft, and from the perspective of cost sharing, the research and development cost of a single aircraft is very high, and it is certainly cost-effective for Sikorsky to make a lot of money if he can continue this project...... I have a suggestion that you would like to hear?"

"Of course," Li Jianguo hurriedly nodded: "Please speak." ”

"If the domestic demand for heavy helicopters is indeed relatively large, you can take this opportunity to buy a few more, I personally think that in terms of domestic demand in the next two or three decades, 20 will be enough to meet, and the saved funds can be used in more needed places. Speaking of this, Chen Geng shrugged: "Of course, this is just a suggestion, and the decision is still in your hands." ”

————————————

Not to mention that the proposal of Chen Geng to "take this opportunity to purchase more retired 'Tach' heavy helicopters from the US military" was adopted or rejected in China, but as for Chen Geng's energy in the United States, the country was completely convinced, and some comrades who opposed Chen Geng's involvement in the field of domestic civil aviation transportation, aircraft and aero engine manufacturing also kept their mouths shut.

There is no need for Chen Geng to urge, the competent department of Huaxia Aviation, which has just been officially renamed the Ministry of Aviation Industry by the Ministry of Aviation Industry, officially notified Chen Geng: Chen Geng is allowed to establish a joint venture company with Xifei, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Aviation Industry, to engage in the design, research and development and manufacturing of aircraft and aero engines, and Chen Geng is invited to send someone to negotiate specific cooperation matters with Xifei.
