Doyle's revelation made Xiao Yang vigilant: nothing should be underestimated, and it must be treated with caution, otherwise, it is possible that a seemingly completely inconspicuous little thing can make people fall into a catastrophe. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And how they should ensure that they have use value, but will not threaten others, the balance in the middle must be well mastered.

The conversation made Xiao Yang aware of their potential crisis, and also made him aware of their role in the market-depressed arms companies, thinking that he should be able to ask Agustado for some this time, and he quickly put the crisis aside.

Doyle quickly calmed down, realizing that his reaction had given Xiao Yang a chance to understand the company's attitude, but he didn't care, and even hinted that he could be a little tougher during the negotiation.

"Business-wise, we won't interfere with Agusta's side, but tomorrow I will call them personally to say it, and someone will send you over when the time comes, and you will have to talk to them about the specific matters yourself."

"No problem." With what he learned from Doyle, Xiao Yang was full of ambition and confidence.

The next day, Xiao Yang and Little Ivan went out of Doyle's house and went directly to Agusta, not to mention that Doyle, the executive president, personally called, Xiao Yang's car with the Ministry of Defense certificate was enough for Agusta's senior management to pay attention to.

Not to mention the personal reception of the company's president, a vice president was also sent to be responsible for the negotiation of the order, and the salary was not high.

"Mongoose" is Italy's first self-designed armed helicopter, but also the first helicopter after actual combat, and Apache, the two have a striking similarity in appearance, except for the size of the problem, the average person may be difficult to distinguish, in terms of combat performance, probably the biggest difference between the two.

The Apache is a heavy gunship capable of taking off above 4,000 meters above sea level, while the Mongoose is a light gunship and can only operate at an altitude of less than 4,000 meters.

For many countries, the nature of the mongoose makes it impossible for them to choose, but for Aceh, this is not a problem at all.

The central part of the Republic of Aceh is dominated by the Aceh Mountains, the north and south are plains, and the elevation of the highest mountain is only more than 3,000 meters.

began to contact Agusta, Agusta confirmed the order of 25 aircraft, expressed great enthusiasm, and did not want to show that he was scheming about the negotiations, but Xiao Yang did not dare to relax, attitude is one thing, when it comes to interests, it is another thing, before the negotiations begin, nothing can be taken seriously.

There was not much time given by Aceh's side, and the next day, negotiations began.

At the beginning of the negotiations, Xiao Yang's attitude was relatively tough, inadvertently indicating that the mongoose was not their only choice, in Europe, there was also a "tiger style", and in North America, there was a "super cobra" or Russia's "Havoc", "Hind", etc., so that Agusta, who was in urgent need of performance, could not insist too much on the attitude.

"Hopefully this is not the first time we have worked together, but there have been second, third, and countless ......"

When negotiating, in addition to price and other issues, Agusta must consider Xiao Yang's sales ability, this year, has long passed the era of deep wine alleys, a good salesperson or a good agent may be able to bring great profits to the enterprise, Xiao Yang their company's achievements in the past year, put to any arms company, can not be ignored, in Xiao Yang expressed the hope that there will be more cooperation in the future, Agusta has made appropriate concessions on many issues.

You come and go, in the invisible sword shadows, time passes day by day, with Agusta's positive attitude, the negotiation process is faster than Xiao Yang expected, and after five days, all the issues are basically talked about.

In the evening, I returned to Doyle's house and told Doyle about the results of the negotiation, but unexpectedly received a call from Zhao Qingfeng.

"Negotiations shouldn't be over yet?"

"Soon, you can sweep the tail tomorrow? Something? Xiao Yang didn't believe that Zhao Qingfeng had nothing to do with him to chat.

Zhao Qingfeng paused on the other end of the phone before he said: "There is indeed something, we want to buy their mongoose engine technology, can you help us try Agusta's tone?" ”

Try your mouth? Xiao Yang smiled, at this juncture, it's not as simple as trying the style.

I was a little embarrassed in my heart, but I couldn't refuse, who called someone his father-in-law, "This shouldn't be much of a problem, but let's make it clear first, there is not much time left for me on the Aceh side, if they are tough, I can't delay it for too long......"

Zhao Qingfeng was overjoyed, and said to Xiao Yang excitedly: "Yes, it's not in vain that I treat you as my own son...... After speaking, he probably felt that he was a little out of shape in front of Xiao Yang like this, and hurriedly said: "There is no need to delay, you just need to test their attitude." ”

"No problem." Even his son's words came out, what else could he say, but he was a little curious about the engine that their company needed mongoose, the engine used by the mongoose was an imitation of the American "Comanche" engine, although it was said to be an imitation, but its performance on the battlefield could fully prove its performance, but what did China want to do with this?

"Your company has a new helicopter project? It shouldn't be necessary, right, didn't you just get it out of the straight-10? ”

Zhao Qingfeng was a little embarrassed, but he didn't have the intention of concealing it, he hesitated for a while, and said to him: "There are some problems with the engine project of 10, and I will tell you when we will meet when we meet, you can help me test Agusta's attitude first, if there is hope, I will go over immediately." ”

It seems that there is something unknown here, Xiao Yang didn't ask more, hung up the phone and immediately went to Doyle's study.

The domestic Z-10 has been hyped both at home and abroad during this time, but Xiao Yang vaguely knows that this project is not as beautiful as it seems, but he didn't expect that the helicopter that has now been confirmed to be in service will have problems with the engine.

Thinking about all this, he really didn't know what to say.

"The engine of the mongoose? I know. As soon as Xiao Yang mentioned the mongoose's engine, Doyle knew something, only to see him smile mysteriously at Xiao Yang, and gestured, "It's looking for you over there, right?" ”

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Yang knew that something should have happened these days that he didn't know, so he couldn't hide it from him, so he nodded very simply.

"I knew it." Doyle snapped his fingers, "I received news today that Canada's Pratt & Whitney Company provided a batch of civilian engines to China, but China converted them to research on helicopter gunship engines, and Pratt & Whitney faced a huge fine of up to $75 million from the United States, so they intended to use the mongoose's engine as a substitute......

Pratt & Whitney is just a company that produces space engines, Xiao Yang is not familiar with it, and he doesn't know why Canadian companies are fined by the United States, of course, he doesn't care about this, he is surprised that Zhao Qingfeng said that there is a problem with the engine project, and it will be this problem.

According to domestic practice, this kind of problem should have been prepared in advance, why did you set your sights on Agusta's side at this time?

Perhaps sensing the doubts in his heart, Doyle continued: "China's armed helicopter is designed by Russia, and France has also contributed in some aspects, in terms of engines, they should tend to develop their own domestic equipment, but according to reliable sources, they have also contacted the Russian side, but I don't know why, and finally failed to reach a cooperation......

"It is undeniable that China is a big country, a big country, but its achievements in the field of space engines are not so satisfactory, and the mongoose is about the same size as this project, so it is not surprising that they set their sights on this, after all, there are only so many suitable engines......

In terms of aerospace engines in China, it is indeed a weakness, fighters and helicopters are the same, for various reasons, Xiao Yang does not want to ask, and now what he wants to know is Italy's attitude in this regard.

After thinking about it, he didn't ask directly, but asked another question: "What is the situation of the fighter engine before?" If you can't say it, just because I didn't ask. ”

Doyle smiled meaningfully, "It's definitely secret from the outside world, but there's no need to ......hide it from you," he said, he briefly told Xiao Yang about the negotiation between Fenmecanica and the Northern Company, "The final negotiation result will definitely take a long time, and it's too early to say the result." ”

Xiao Yang has never had an in-depth understanding of this matter, but now that he knows the situation, he understands that at this time, he is afraid that he only deeply understands the pain of being controlled by others.

Ben didn't mean to complain about the country, but thinking about the Italian side's request, he couldn't help but say: "You guys are too open-mouthed...... You should be well aware of Italy's economic situation, how long can you hold on to it when NATO and the EU can't give much support? At the current pace of negotiations, you may not be able to wait for that day, let alone me, as a Chinese, know very well the pride in the bones of this nation...... Your conditions are too high, and you may end up only making China fall into the arms of others, or make them decide to develop their own ......"

Doyle was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "I know this truth, and many people in the group also know it, but this negotiation is led by the government, and we don't have much decision-making power...... You should know that politicians and us businessmen will never think the same......"

“……”

When he said this, Xiao Yang was also relatively speechless.

It is true that politicians and businessmen never think and see the same thing when it comes to certain things.
