Chapter 551: Hawke's troubles

"He? How can the president of an aircraft manufacturing company help? Does he have a good relationship with the upper management of BBB?"
Shao Yifu smiled and said, "Zhenhua, don’t worry, I’m afraid this matter has to go around. I don’t know if Mr. Hawke Sidley’s relationship with BBB is good, but I believe it. The bosses of the company must have a very good relationship."
"Which one?" Tan Zhenhua became more confused.
"Of course it is Marconi. Although I don’t understand airplanes, I at least know that a good airplane must have a good communication system. In Britain, there are good communication equipment manufacturers. This is the Marconi company."
Shao Yifu said that, Tan Zhenhua immediately remembered this awesome company in Britain, one of the giants in the Bluestar communications industry, the British Marconi Company.
You know, Galilmo Marconi, the founder of this company, is the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, the "father of radio", and the inventor of wireless telegraphy, although this last achievement and patent have been shamelessly The Americans were revoked in 1943 because they didn't want to pay the patent fee and turned to Tesla...
Tan Zhenhua, who was also a major in electronics in his previous life, is of course impossible not to know the famous company in Britain, and Shao Yifu can know this company obviously because his TVB television station and communications have never been inseparable.
But what does this Marconi company have to do with this matter?
Looking at Tan Zhenhua’s increasingly confused expression, Shao Yifu smiled and said: "Although I have a normal relationship with BBB, for professional reasons, I still know some details about this company. BBB, also known as the British Broadcasting Corporation, is actually A government-funded private broadcasting company was established in 1922, and its largest shareholder is..."
"Is it Marconi?" Tan Zhenhua blurted out.
Shao Yifu smiled and said: "Yes, Zhenhua, your response is very fast. Indeed, the largest shareholder of BBB is Marconi."
Tan Zhenhua suddenly realized, "No wonder grandpa you want me to find Marconi through Mr. Hawke Sidley. It turns out that this is the reason. I understand. Ha, I will go to Mr. Hawke for a chat tomorrow, um, I want He hasn’t finally answered me yet, and happened to do it together."
...
"Tan, you are here, in fact, if you don't come today, I will go to talk to you."
Hawke Sidley looked at Tan Zhenhua who entered the door of his office and greeted him. However, Tan Zhenhua found that the look on his face was extremely unnatural, as if... as if he had constipation.
He couldn't help asking strangely, "Mr. Hawke, why are you uncomfortable today?"
A blush flashed across Hawk's face, and he ordered the secretary who led the way: "Emma, ​​you can go out. Let me and this Mr. Tan stay alone for a while, thank you."
After Miss Emma's beautiful back disappeared from the closed office door, Hawke coughed and said, "Tan, it's like this. Regarding the business we talked about that day, it was about "Sea Harrier", we had a little problem..."
Tan Zhenhua immediately became vigilant, "Hai Harrier," that was one of his important backhands to prepare for a major event, and there was no room for mistakes.
However, even with some doubts in his heart, his face remained still, and even a little smile appeared: "Mr. Hawke, what's the problem? Isn't your government going to approve this transaction?"
Hawke replied awkwardly: "It's not that the Chinese government did not approve it. In fact, they were eager to make this transaction right away. You know, since the Americans approved the sale of the "F-16" fighter aircraft to the Pakistan Railways, After Lu also took the opportunity to expand their "Phantom" fighter planes in the Pakistani railway fleet, our government has always wanted to reach out there, but unfortunately it has not been able to do so, and now because of your intervention, this event finally happened. A good start, they are too late to be happy, how can they object?"
"If this is the case, what will be the problem? Don’t the Americans want to monopolize the Pakistan Railway’s arms procurement? Everyone knows that it’s impossible. If we don’t say anything else, he can do nothing about the supply of equipment to the Pakistan Railway. ."
"The Americans? They really want to do this, but like you said, the whole world knows that it's impossible, so they can only make a fuss about military aid."
"What the is that?"
Excluding the two most worrying issues, Tan Zhenhua felt relieved. He relaxed a little, then put his hands on his chin and stared at Hawke and asked: "Mr Hawke, apart from these, I can’t think of anything. What can happen to the "Sea Harrier" procurement plan."
Hawke sighed and said: "This time I am a little sorry for you. The problem lies with our "British Aerospace" itself, or more accurately, an important partner of our company."
"Who? So serious."
"Frenty International."
Tan Zhenhua's heart suddenly "cocked", even his small face was a little pale, he couldn't help but nervously asked: "Florenti International? Is it radar?"
This time it was Hawke Sidley’s turn to be surprised. He took a deep look at Tan Zhenhua and asked half jokingly and half tentatively: "Tan, you even know Frenty International? It seems, you We have done in-depth investigations on our "British Aerospace" including our main partners-oh yes, you did do investigations, but I really didn't expect you to know so much detail."
Tan Zhenhua knew that he was a bit gaffe, but when he was negotiating on the "BAC" production line a few days ago, he and Wu Daguan used a thick investigation report to pretend to be forced, so this scene is not overwhelming.
So he smiled and said: "Yes, as you know, in order to prepare for the negotiation with you, I have made a little understanding of your company and your company’s main partners, and here I solemnly promise you that these The investigation process is legal, and all the information obtained is through public channels, but these should not be the key points, Mr. Hawke, you should tell me quickly, the radar of my "Sea Harrier" fighter plane, you promised "blue Vixen "What's wrong."
Hawke didn't bother to ask Tan Zhenhua about the source of the information, because he now had to face another trouble-how to explain the next thorny issue to Tan Zhenhua.
"The Blue Vixen may not be completed on time. Therefore, Mr. Tan, I have to regret to inform you that the only available radar currently available is the "Blue Fox", which is currently installed on the "Sea Harrier", but I Guarantee, the performance of the "Blue Fox" will definitely satisfy you. After all, this is a radar that has been tested in the Falkland Islands War..."
"No, Mr. Hawke, these two foxes are not just a simple difference between male and female. I can tell you very clearly that if there is no "Blue Vixen" radar, I will suspend the "Sea Harrier" procurement plan."
Tan Zhenhua replied solemnly, with a serious tone, and there was no possibility of bargaining at all.
