Chapter 185 Reached cooperation with Pakistan Railway to jointly develop the Dragon Shadow fighter jet project
Lin Chenran and others stood at the door of their factory, watching Shabotai Warren and others slowly drive out of sight in a vehicle, and then turned and returned to the office.
Meng Chunping asked Lin Chenran with a worried look on his face: "Mr. Lin, do you think Batie will agree to the conditions we propose?"
Although the Pakistan Railway delegation showed strong interest in the Dragon Shadow fighter jets, Meng Chunping was still unsure.
Everyone knows that Pakistan Railways’ military budget is not generous.
Lin Chenran seemed confident and comforted: "Mr. Meng, don't worry, Ba Tie will definitely come back to continue negotiations with us."
"As long as they pay a little bit, they can get an advanced third-generation fighter jet, and I think they will make a wise decision."
Lin Chenran firmly believed that Bati would definitely come to discuss cooperation.
Because for Pakistan Railways, it is undoubtedly a dream to be able to introduce an advanced third-generation fighter jet and achieve localization.
The Type 80 main battle tank that was previously cooperated with the 617 Machinery Military Factory has already given Pakistan tie a taste of the sweetness.
Nowadays, in tank battles, Batie is no less inferior to Baixiang.
If they can successfully purchase the Dragon Shadow fighter jet from the 077 Machinery Arsenal this time, they will have an even greater advantage when facing the White Elephant Kingdom.
Several 077 Machinery Arsenal present nodded their heads, and they also agreed with Lin Chenran's statement.
And the big stone hanging in Meng Chunping's heart slowly dropped.
Because he trusts the judgment of his factory manager.
This has become the norm.
…
Sure enough, just as Lin Chenran said, three days later, Shabotai Warren from the Pakistan Railways delegation brought several members to the 077 Machinery Military Factory to continue negotiations.
In the end, a cooperation was reached. Pakistan Railway invested US$35 million in the early stage, while 077 Machinery Arsenal invested US$40 million.
The ratio of both sides is three to seven.
In other words, Pakistan Tie accounted for 30% of the sales of Longying fighter jets in the later period.
077 Machinery Military Factory will establish a new company with Pakistan Railway to specialize in selling Dragon Shadow fighter jets.
In the later stage of investment, 077 Machinery Military Factory will definitely account for the majority.
No matter what, Bati is not at a loss.
And the 077 Machinery Military Factory is making a lot of money.
Lin Chenran also reminded Shabotai Warren that he would look for new partners in the future.
The advantage of this is that the investment is reduced.
The disadvantage is that in the later period, Batie did not make so much.
But after Shabotai Warren agreed, there was no way anyone could make Badie so poor now.
Being able to find more partners will reduce a lot of burden for Pakistan Railway.
Why not!
As for making money?
That will have to wait until the Dragon Shadow fighter jet is designed, developed and manufactured later, and high-quality customers are found.
Otherwise, want to make money?
Disaster!
This is just a matter of choice, there is no right or wrong.
The main reason is that Batie is too poor now and can only care about what is in front of him.
…
At the same time, after the 077 Machinery Military Factory signed a cooperation with Pakistan Railway to jointly develop the Dragon Shadow fighter jet, Wei Lao, the head of the Yanguo military equipment department, called Lin Chenran.
A burst of hearty laughter came from the microphone.
"Boy Lin, I congratulate you on getting rich!"
Lin Chenran was startled for a moment, then a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Wei Lao, stop joking, how can I get rich?"
He knew very well what it meant to receive a call from Mr. Wei at this time.
Sure enough, the next moment, Mr. Wei's voice came: "The Dragon Shadow fighter project is cooperating with Pakistan Railway. This is a big deal!"
Elder Wei's words made Lin Chenran tremble uncontrollably. He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "It's just a small business!"
"You know how poor Batie is." Lin Chenran sighed helplessly.
But Wei Lao asked directly: "Are you scared?"
Lin Chenran was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a wry smile: "I'm afraid! Every time you call us, our 077 Machinery Arsenal bleeds heavily."
He was telling the truth. Every time he communicated with Mr. Wei, it would bring some pressure and responsibility.
"You kid!" Mr. Wei laughed and cursed.
"I'm not asking you for money this time, don't worry!" Mr. Wei said with a smile.
Lin Chenran breathed a sigh of relief, with a faint smile on his face: "That's good, Mr. Wei, please don't scare me again."
"Every time I receive a call from you, I feel terrified!"
After hearing this, Mr. Wei on the other end of the phone couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You brat, you really don't know how to be blessed even though you are blessed. I'm calling you. I don't know how many people are envious of you, but you still dare to despise me!"
The two chatted for a while and then got straight to the point.
"Boy Lin, the Air Force is quite interested in the Dragon Shadow fighter jet designed and developed by your 077 Machinery Arsenal."
Wei Lao said with a smile.
"No way?"
"Would the Air Force be interested in the Dragon Shadow fighter jet?"
"That is a second-and-a-half-generation fighter jet. The Air Force has already started to equip the third-generation fighter jet - the J-10 fighter. How can it be possible that it still likes the Dragon Shadow fighter? You must be lying to me!"
Lin Chenran's face was full of suspicion and disbelief.
He really couldn't believe that the Yanguo military would be interested in the Longying fighter jet.
They are ready to have a more advanced third-generation fighter, so why should they pay attention to a relatively backward second-and-a-half-generation fighter?
"Do you think I would lie to you?"
Mr. Wei asked directly in a serious tone.
Lin Chenran quickly laughed and said, "How could that be?"
He muttered to himself, this old guy is really difficult to deal with!
"I just don't understand why the military would like the Dragon Shadow fighter jet from our 077 Machinery Arsenal?" Lin Chenran asked doubtfully.
Wei Lao looked calm and gave the answer directly: "It is cheap, has superior performance, is comparable to and surpasses the J-10 fighter jet in some aspects, and can be used in conjunction with the J-10 fighter jet."
Lin Chenran smiled bitterly after hearing this: "I think you are wrong. There is only one thing that attracts your military about the Dragon Shadow fighter jet, and that is its 'cheapness'."
He knew very well that if it were not for the low price, the military would not be so interested in this fighter jet.
If there are third-generation fighter jets, we must use third-generation fighter jets!
It is impossible for the current Yanguo Air Force to replace the entire army with third-generation fighter jets at once, so...
The J-7 fighter jets and other old fighter jets in the hands of Yanguo's military simply cannot meet various combat needs.
No, the Dragon Shadow fighter jet designed by 077 Machinery Military Factory has been spotted by the military bosses of the Yan Kingdom!
The price is cheaper than the J-10 fighter jet.
In some aspects of performance, it is better than the J-10 fighter jet.
This is very attractive to the military leaders of the Yan Kingdom!
It turns out that there are good products even though they are cheap.
"Military expenditure has always restricted the development of our military."
"Our military also wants to directly replace the old 7-generation fighter jets with third-generation fighter jets, etc., but the money does not allow it!"
Wei Lao told the Yan Kingdom's military difficulties.
It’s really difficult!
Within limited military expenditures, develop the army and improve its combat effectiveness.
The second update is under review and should be released soon!
