Chapter 1125: Song Wenhua's problem

Song Wenhua really encountered a problem.
Thanks to the efforts of the two old partners Song Wenhua and Tu Jida, the "J-7" is not an advanced Soviet-Russian "MiG 21" early model imitation fighter, which has customers in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the United States. In addition to China's mainland, there are 17 countries with air forces equipped with it.
However, although there are many customers, there are actually only a few companies that purchase a relatively large quantity. Of course, the first one is Pakistan Railways, while the second place is undoubtedly because of the deep war. Ikra is in great demand.
The process of Ikra’s purchase of the "J-7" was quite dramatic. According to official records, China had never sold a "J7" to Ikra, but everyone knows that the 80 "J7" signed between China and Jordan in 1981. Seven" export contract, who is the end user; in addition, the first paid overseas user of "J-7", Egypt, which purchased 60 "J-7" aircraft from China in 1980, received military aid from the United States, After getting a batch of second-hand "F4", the batch of fighters was also transferred to Ikra. At the same time, a batch of genuine "MiG 21" obtained from Soviet Russia was also transferred.
Roughly speaking, the "Jan-7" and "MiG 21" family fighters equipped by Ikra even exceed 200. Such a large inventory must have long been regarded as a piece of fat by Song Wenhua...
As mentioned earlier, when discussing the "Super Seven" plan, Tan Zhenhua proposed a two-step plan. For the old "J-7" or "MiG 21" users, the "optional upgrade kit package" method was adopted. , Provides intake port modification, PD radar with two sizes of antennas installed in the nose after the shock cone or the mandibular intake port, and advanced aviation instrument upgrade methods, and the design of the "turbojet 13" engine is completed After finalizing the country’s appraisal and testing, after approval, this engine has also been included in the list of spare parts that can provide upgrade services to foreign users. Also, because of the thrust increase brought by the replacement of the new engine, it naturally derives the improvement "J-7 "Airframe, additional external pylon upgrade items.
There is no doubt that if you upgrade the "J-7" or "MiG 21" according to the top package in this "optional upgrade kit package", this will make this slightly outdated old fighter initially have the ability to combat beyond visual range. , Its combat effectiveness will be greatly improved compared to before the upgrade, which is of great attraction to Ikra, whose air force has been suppressed during the war with Ipersia.
You must know that because Tan Er, a small cicada, is indiscriminately fanning its wings, in this time and space, the Persian "F14" has obtained a sufficient supply of accessories and no longer needs a large number of "organ donors" to maintain a very low number of fighters on duty. , And the main fleet "F4 Ghosts" that has been upgraded by Xijing not only has a higher attendance rate, but also has greatly improved performance, which makes Iqra face a lot of air pressure compared to the previous time and space.
For this reason, when Chengdu provided Ikra with a new fighter upgrade plan, he immediately received a enthusiastic response-they put forward an ambitious plan, hoping to upgrade at least 100 "J-7" to top configuration status. .
This is a big business with an amount close to 200 million U.S. dollars. Both the Ministry of Aviation Industry and Chengdu City attach great importance to this order and are determined to win it-but with the deepening of the negotiation, after almost all the conditions have been negotiated, Hua Xia found embarrassingly that this business might not be able to be done.
why?
The reason is simple, Ikra has no money.
In 1980, before the war between Iran and Iraq, the per capita GDP of Iqra was nearly 4,000 U.S. dollars. For comparison, China’s per capita GDP was only 155 U.S. dollars that year; and 7 years later, this figure of Iqra had fallen by more than one third; if If this water injection data still does not reflect the current economic dilemma of Ikra, then another set of figures is even more shocking-before the war, Ikra had about 37 billion US dollars in foreign exchange reserves, but now? Its debt exceeds 70 billion US dollars!
Of the 70 billion U.S. dollars in debt, 40 billion are arms debts owed to Western countries and Soviet Russia, and the remaining over 30 billion are war loans owed to other Arab countries—in fact, they are arms debts.
To put it simply, the seven years of the Iran-Iraq war has brought the country’s finances to the brink of bankruptcy.
Despite being heavily indebted, the war is still going on, and the equipment that should be bought must be bought even if the crown is clenched, especially the fighter upgrade plan proposed by China Xia this time, compared to the expensive purchase of new fighters from Soviet Russia. Obviously, this is an excellent cost-effective solution. Therefore, Ikra made a request. They hoped that China would also give them a condition for deferred payment, like Western arms dealers or Soviet Russia.
This is embarrassing. China also knows about Ikra’s ability to pay. Knowing that they are currently in debt and unable to make ends meet, how can they dare to agree to such a thing casually? This will require Ikra to fall back on the bill. US$200 million is a huge sum of money. No one can bear the responsibility for the loss, but how can I get the money?
Is it possible to run to the gate of the Presidential Palace in Iqra to block the door and pull up a banner "Return my hard-earned money"?
Ever since, this business has been hanging in the air and cannot fall to the ground.
In 1987, the order of 200 million US dollars is not a small number anymore, and the profit of this kind of business is quite generous, and it earns fragrant U.S. dollars. Therefore, whether it is from the Ministry of Aviation Industry or Chengdu, it has already arrived. The fat that can't be swallowed by the mouth, this feels really...
For this matter, Song Wenhua and Minister Mo came and went to discuss several times, and finally Minister Mo reminded him that his named apprentice is a veteran in the international market, maybe he has a good way-this In fact, Minister Mo doesn’t need to be reminded, but Song Wenhua feels that it’s a bit difficult to get help from his apprentice, and second he knows that his apprentice has hooks in his eyes. This kind of business will be passed by him. You have to be stripped of your hand, and maybe even the fat on it has been slapped away. Isn't the "Janqi" Yin Jian sold to the Americans not far away?
However, in the end, the desire for this order made Song Wenhua choose to let Tan Zhenhua come to mix it up, and he was also mentally prepared to be picked up by this kid. Well, of course, in order to make this kid look good. One point, first put out a battle and beat this kid well. That's a trick he has used.
Tan Zhenhua, who had finally figured out what happened, stopped the action in his hand, tilted his head and considered it for a long time before saying: "Teacher Song, your case, I took it, um, how much is the contract amount? I will pay the money according to the number, but you have to discuss with Minister Mo and transfer the contract rights to me. I will collect the payment for the goods from Ikra."
"You come to collect it? How do you collect it?" This time it was Song Wenhua's turn to be a little surprised. He really did not expect that Tan Zhenhua was willing to advance the payment, and he heard clearly just now that it was "pay according to the number"!
No discounts, no benefits!
When did the student who got into the eyes of money become so generous?
