Chapter 705: one little thing

David Uggins, Luria Buxbaum, and Heinrich Neumann looked at each other, and they all saw a touch of surprise in each other's eyes.
Is this young man too direct?
What we sell here is an airborne fire control radar, which is munitions!
Even if it’s just for the installation of 12 sea harriers, it’s a big deal of tens of millions of dollars. Shouldn’t this kind of business be the test of each other ten times and eight times before you start to get into the subject?
You are so direct, I feel a little embarrassed to start slaughter... ahem, price.
As if seeing the opposite question, Tan Zhenhua said with a smile: "The three bosses, in fact, things are very simple. Last year, Pakistan Railway ordered 12 "Sea Harriers" from British Aerospace. It is equipped with the latest "Blue Vixen" radar. However, due to the delay of Frontier International, the "Blue Vixen" will not be delivered on time. This is the opportunity for your company to participate in this business. I Think, everyone knows these things very well, right?"
The three nodded, and Blumenthal figured out the whole story for the first time.
Tan Zhenhua continued: "Under the recommendation of the President of British Aerospace Corporation Little Hawk, Pakistan Railway agreed to use your company’s EL/M-2021B radar as their alternative. As you all know, Pakistan Railway’s equipment self-research capability Limited, especially the electronics industry is a bit weak, and our relationship with China does not need me to specifically explain, right? Therefore, they entrusted us as the full representative of this radar negotiation, so our goal is actually It’s very clear. I’m here to buy 12 radars and their full-life accessories. This is something you and I both know well. There is no need to test each other. What about me? I always like to simplify complicated things. , What do you think about everything on the table? This will improve work efficiency and save everyone's time and energy. Vice President David, Director Luria, and General Manager Heinrich, what do you think?"
After he finished speaking, Blumenthal was the first to follow suit.
"Eric, if I remember correctly, according to our agreement, the orders that need to be discussed should not be limited to these 12 radars..."
Tan Zhenhua smiled and waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "Mr. Warner, of course I remember my promise. In fact, I even hope that our cooperation can go further on the basis of the previous communication. However, all of these are needed. IAI showed more sincerity."
Now that the words have been spoken, the people on the opposite side also relaxed. After learning how Ben Fang and Wei Chuan'an also whispered to each other in a weird Hebrew pronunciation, David Yukins He said: "Mr. Eric, I think I can understand what you mean. According to your agreement with Mr. Blumenthal, you will invite us to participate in the joint research and development of a fighter flight control system that you are investing in. Frankly speaking, I am very interested in this business. You must have understood this through Mr. Blumenthal's report. So what do you mean by saying that we need to show more sincerity?"
Tan Zhenhua smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, a radar and a flight control system for a fighter jet. This is what I hope to cooperate with your company. However, for these two projects, what I want to achieve is the same as At first, I and Mr. Blumenthal might have different things, such as radar."
Having said this, he paused, and exchanged glances with Benfang by the way. After getting a nod from the other party, he continued: "For the EL/M-2021B radar, except that we need to buy 12 on behalf of Pakistan Railways. In addition to Taiwan’s "Sea Harrier" package, we also hope to reach another agreement with your company in another capacity."
"What is it?"
"As Huaxia, purchase a full set of technology transfer and production licenses for EL/M-2021B."
There was a brief silence in the meeting room.
Blumenthal couldn't help smiling at this moment. Sure enough, this possibility that he had foreseen long ago still happened.
He has a deep knowledge and understanding of China, and he is very aware of the country's desire for new technologies. As early as many years ago, when he was still serving as the finance minister of the Jimmy Carter government, he deeply realized this.
That's because of a little thing.
At least for big countries like the United States and China, this is a small matter that cannot be smaller.
On January 1, 1979, China and the United States formally issued a joint communiqué and resumed diplomatic relations. On that day, President Carter received a report from China’s leaders transferred by his Secretary of State Cyrus Vance. Private request.
Carter originally thought that this private request would be the same as a private request he had received from many third world leaders, hoping to transfer his children and property to the United States. For this reason, he was a bit disdainful, but he After carefully reading the content of the other party's request, he was stunned, and then deeply moved and shocked.
Because the content of this private request turned out to be: I hope President Carter can approve the acceptance of 50 Chinese students to study in the United States every year, the content of which is concentrated in the fields of natural and engineering sciences such as medicine, electronics, and machinery.
President Carter approved this plan, which also opened the door of the highest university in the United States to new Chinese students. At the beginning, there was indeed a quota of 50 students per year, and China National was responsible for the cost of studying abroad for these people. However, with the warming of the relationship between Huami in recent years, the number of publicly-sponsored international students increased every year, and by December 1981, With the implementation of the TOEFL test in China, the United States has also opened the door for China to study abroad at its own expense. Oh, by the way, our Xiao Tan Tan became the first person to eat crabs, and he was still the Tan Hua Lang of that session.
Blumenthal certainly knows all these things and developments. What makes him sigh is not the issue of foreign students, but the unity that China has shown from top to bottom, from the country’s top leaders to the young students in front of him. Awareness-the desire for knowledge, the pursuit of new technologies and the strong desire to move all the latest scientific and technological achievements to their own country.
As a Jew, Blumenthal was very familiar with and empathized with this understanding.
Because the Jewish nation with a population of only 16 million, countless outstanding people have emerged, and on this blue star, it occupies a large territory in politics, economy, technology, art, medicine, etc. The most outstanding person in the field is precisely because this nation attaches great importance to education and has an endless pursuit of the latest technology.
With such a leader, with such a people, with such a heritage, this ancient oriental nation will surely rise again.
he thinks.
