Chapter 535: Forget the past

Although Wu Daguan is not an aircraft expert, and his business is an engine, he is also an old veteran in the aviation industry anyway, and there are lessons to be learned from the last time, so the old man in the negotiation is called a high spirited man.
This is called the real you come and me, talk and talk. I didn’t rest except for a hasty working lunch. It was not until the evening that the whole general framework was finally discussed. The HATC of Xiangjiang Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. The "BAC" production line of British Aerospace was purchased at a price of tens of millions of pounds, but it must be disassembled by itself. British Aerospace is responsible for the technical guidance of the equipment in the disassembly and installation after it is shipped to China. In addition, "BAC1-11-700" The full set of technical documents of the aircraft and related patents involved are priced at 10 million pounds, and the technical consulting service fee is priced at 7.5 million pounds. China Xia can propose to extend the technical service period according to its own needs, and the fee will be charged according to the actual number of personnel and time required .
Among them, the payment terms for the last item are: British Aerospace will send a team of no less than 100 experts to China, until China adopts some of the sub-systems provided by Britain, in accordance with the technology and guidance provided by Britain It is possible to produce the "BAC1-11-700" aircraft that meets all the requirements of the European airworthiness certificate, and at least obtain the British airworthiness certificate.
Of course, this is only a preliminary result. The large aircraft is a very complex system engineering, which involves a lot of problems. Only a catalogue of technical materials that both parties need to hand over may be as large as thousands of pages, and these are by no means current. These few people in the house can handle it, and that requires a very professional team to do it.
Therefore, it is time to contact the Xifei plant to send someone to come. Of course, it is urgent to fix the upper-level relationship, arrange the transfer of Ma Fengshan’s work and go abroad. In Tan Zhenhua’s mind, besides Master Ma, who else is qualified? To host this huge project?
According to China’s traditional etiquette, at this time, visitors must be kept for dinner. After all, Tan Zhenhua and the others can be regarded as the temporary hosts of Highclere Castle!
Jr. Hawke Sidley and Sir Hooker also accepted the invitation very happily, and there were other ideas in their hearts.
Although the negotiations during the day were exciting and intense, there were scenes of patting each other at the table and yelling at each other for "profite business", but the atmosphere of the dinner was friendly and enthusiastic. After all, in this business, British Aerospace did not suffer, it was just Did not earn as much as expected.
The first person who spoke was Little Hawke. He pretended to ask Wu Daguan casually: "Dear Wu, can I know where the material you are holding today comes from? You need to know, I am dealing with it now. I’m very curious about its existence and source!
Wu Daguan smiled and said, "This, of course, was given to me by Eric. As for how he came, I don't know."
Tan Zhenhua shrugged his shoulders and said: "Mr. Hawke, of course we have collected and sorted out this information. Oh, yes, I have to apologize to you first. I forgot to introduce another company I invested in. This is "Red Flag Capital". My company has a dedicated department that collects and sorts out valuable business information from all walks of life and finds suitable investment opportunities. The information just now during the day is actually public Is the information correct? We pay great attention to protecting trade secrets, including our own and our opponents."
Okay, after listening to this, Little Hawke obviously stiffened his hands when cutting steaks. Are you Huaxia people so damaged? If you win, you will win, and you have to cry again...
Sir Hook saw that the atmosphere was not good and quickly came out and turned around: "Wu, I have always wanted to ask you a question. After you have purchased the "BAC" production line, what do you plan to do with the matching engine? Do you keep ordering from our Rolls-Royce company? "
Wu Daguan glanced at Tan Zhenhua quietly, and when he saw him shaking his head slightly, he replied: "Sir Hook, in view of the complexity of engine manufacturing and the huge investment cost, we may still prefer to buy ready-made products. Alas, it’s a shame to say it. At the beginning, if you purchased the "Speey MK512" engine you recommended, then today we can solve these problems ourselves."
There was a look of remembrance in Hook’s eyes, and he replied after a moment of silence: "Yes, it was still in 1972. Ten years have passed since this moment. At that time, I led a group of 4 people including me. A small team of people visited Huaxia quietly, hoping to open up the ice of our trade between Britain and China."
Tan Zhenhua interrupted: "Then, I have to congratulate you, Sir Hook, you succeeded."
Hook shook his head and said, "No, it's actually not a success. That time I brought not only the Spey MK512 engine, but also Harrier fighter jets, the latest destroyers...just in terms of aero engines, It also includes the Olympus 593 engine, the Viper Viper engine and the Dart turboprop engine used in the Concorde supersonic airliner. The final result is only one, which is the MK202 that was not originally planned."
Tan Zhenhua continued to ask: "Sir Hook, with all due respect, I haven't found an answer after thinking about it for a long time. The MK202 is a leading engine ten years ago, and the aero engine is yours. The foundation of the company, how did you agree to sell technology licenses?"
Hook was stunned when he heard this question, and then smiled bitterly: "Eric, you really asked an embarrassing question."
However, he later replied: "We, Rolls-Royce, were originally a very successful private company. In addition to aero engines, the industry also includes the famous Rolls-Royce. Do you know that?"
Tan Zhenhua nodded and Hook continued: "However, in the late 1960s, Rolls-Royce was in a serious business crisis. To solve this crisis, in 1971, the company was split into Rolls-Royce and Rolls-Royce. Some of them, the better-operating cars and general-purpose engines are still privately owned, but some shareholders have been replaced, and our Rolls-Royce engine has been nationalized."
"In that case, it should be your poor management of Rolls-Royce engines?" Tan Zhenhua asked maliciously and knowingly.
He actually knew the whole story very well. When he first met Shi Changxu in the magic city to talk about carbon fiber, Shi Changxu described it as "Luo Luo fell into an unprecedented huge pit."
Sir Hook's face blushed visibly, but he quickly concealed the past with words: "Yes, at that time we invested too much money in some new technology, and there was a problem with the order, so the company We are caught in a very difficult situation, with so many debts, that the government has to nationalize us to ensure that the technical staff will not be lost soon. Wu, Sir Shao and Eric, you should understand that Rolls-Royce engines are in the British defense Therefore, the government had no alternative but to do so."
Tan Zhenhua nodded and said, "I understand if you say that, although you have been nationalized, you still have to repay the debt you owed. It's just that the credit mortgage has been increased because of the government's trusteeship. From a financial perspective, In other words, a grace period for deferred debt repayment was obtained."
Hook sighed: "Yeah, Eric, although your words don't sound very pleasant, but it is true."
"So, at that time, you were in urgent need of a large sum of money to alleviate your severe debt crisis, right? At least, it would allow you to breathe a little more comfortably, Sir Hook, I have to say that you accomplished the task brilliantly. "
When Tan Zhenhua spoke, he seemed to be full of admiration, but it could be heard in the ears of Hu Ke and Wu Daguan, but it had no meaning.
What Hook thought was: "Fortunately, the opponent in the negotiation was not the boy in front of him. Oh, he should be still young at that time, and there should be no such enchanting villain now... If this kid was involved, then The price and terms of the talks are not yet known! Look at the results of the tossing little Hawke today... Merciful God, thank you for letting this kid be born a few years late, Amen."
What Wu Da visualizes is: Why didn't such a wicked kid help talk about "Speey" back then? Not to mention how much foreign exchange can be saved, I don't know how cool it feels to push the opponent to the corner step by step with that information today.
Alas, the past is really unbearable!
