Chapter 735: Cut before play

"If this is the case, then Eric, even if I give you a formal notice today, we can start formal negotiations on the cooperation or technology transfer projects you request. I hope to see you send it as soon as possible. The negotiator of the United States." Luria, who could not get a clear answer from Tan Zhenhua, changed his tone and said in a very formal tone.
"Director Luria, thank you again for all you have done to facilitate these transactions. I will notify my team as soon as possible to start specific negotiations with you." Tan Zhenhua also replied in an official tone.
The two then nodded to each other, and both sides understood that this conversation has come to an end, and then it is time to prepare for a tough battle at the negotiating table-although this is destined to be a winless battle War, but, everyone wants to take advantage of it, right?
...
"This is the situation. It seems that Isaac has persuaded the Americans to start negotiations on all the technology transfer and cooperative R&D projects we proposed, and there are too many content involved. So, Brother Zhan, I need you. s help."
There were only three people participating in the meeting, Tan Zhenhua, Zhan Nuozhu and Ben Fang. The place of the conversation was still a small café selected at random. To ensure the privacy of the conversation, they chose the most inner seat, and Lu Jiangang and his wife occupied it. The table next to them separated them from other sporadic customers.
They were talking about very important business matters, so neither Zhan Nuozhu nor Tan Zhenhua showed the usual fatigue but behaved very seriously-in fact, the main reason is that there is a ben here, and ben Fang is the leader of the second-generation scientific research personnel of the 4014 Institute. Recently, Mr. Zhang has been faintly succeeding Mr. Zhang to take up the important task of the technical leader in the institute, so even Zhan Nuozhu, who has just been promoted to chief, is in front of him. He was three points short, and Tan Zhenhua was completely inferior, and he was still a veritable apprentice Benfang.
"Let's go through one by one." Ben Fang frowned and said: "The first, the procurement negotiations for twelve EL/M-2021B radars are nearing completion, and prices, delivery dates, and technical details have basically been determined. And it has nothing to do with other units, so this article has been passed."
Zhan Nuozhu said: "The second article is somewhat related to the first article. The purchase of the full set of technical materials, production lines and patent licenses for EL/M-2021B is limited to the scope of our 4014 Institute, and the problem should not be. Great, and before this time, there have been discussions on this project in the institute, and everyone’s opinions are basically the same, and they all hope that this matter can be done. Director Zhou also made a special trip to the capital to visit the old office. The director, the old director also expressed his 100% support. According to the news from my father, the Air Force, the General Staff, and the General Assembly are all in favor of this matter. Of course, there is a premise that the price cannot be too outrageous. It must be within our tolerance."
Tan Zhenhua nodded and said, "Brother Zhan, let's talk about money later, because this is probably a common problem. All the items we will discuss next will be involved."
Ben Fang interjected: "Judging from the current reactions of all parties, if we do not consider the constraints of money, I think this project should also be recognized domestically, and the problem is not big."
"Then let's talk about the third point. Regarding the joint development of the flying control system of the "Flying Leopard" fighter, Tan Zhenhua said: "I have solicited the opinion of Chief Chen Yijian when I was in London. He personally welcomes it. The redundant fly-by-wire flight control system is a brand-new challenge for us. Its breakthrough is equivalent to our PD airborne radar. It can get external assistance during the development process, which is more than bored. The efficiency of my own exploration has to be improved a lot. However, the biggest problem here is that although "Flying Leopard" has half of my investment, the other half is a navy project. This involves China's military secrets, so can it be obtained from the country? Agree, I'm not sure, this is the first favor I need Brother Zhan for me."
"This is going to send out my dad!" Zhan Nuozhu rubbed his chin and thought for a while: "Actually, I discussed the "Flying Leopard" matter with my dad at the very beginning. You should pay Zhenhua. Remember, when you went to Xijing to meet with Master Chen Yijian for the first time, I was with you, right?"
Tan Zhenhua nodded, and said that if it were not for you to accompany you, and to endorse your father as an endorsement, Master Chen would talk to me about such a sensitive business?
"After I came back that time, I told my father about this trip to Xijing."
"What do you think of General Zhan?" Tan Zhenhua asked.
"My dad said that from the perspective of the army, of course I hope that the weapon in his hand is as advanced and practical as possible, but there is one thing. There are many factors that determine the outcome of a war, but logistics must be a very critical one. For one thing, this logistics includes not only the food, clothing and medical treatment of soldiers, but also weapons and ammunition. These things are consumables, and the supply of consumables must not be in the hands of the enemy or potential enemies."
"Then General Zhan's meaning can be understood as: we can agree that other countries will participate in the development of our latest weapons, but the ultimate technology and manufacturing capabilities must be in our own hands?"
Zhan Nuozhu thought for a while before replied: "It should be about the same. My father is actually very aware of the position of China's military equipment in the international arena, so he often put the phrase "being beaten if you fall behind". By the way, because of this, I have always been very concerned about the introduction of advanced technologies at home and abroad. Of course, I hope that these technologies can be mastered by China. By the way, Zhenhua, do you remember that your "4-rotor drone" was still When it was a prototype, it was supported by my dad, right?"
Tan Zhenhua nodded, and could not help but reflect in his heart the first time he followed Zhan Nuozhu to his house to visit the old general.
Zhan Nuozhu continued: "So I think my father should support this joint research project, but this matter is too big and involves many aspects, so even if he comes out, it may not be possible in the end. The final result may have to be approved by the General Staff, General Assembly, and Navy."
"In the navy, Chief Chen will go to communicate," Tan Zhenhua said: "As for the general staff and the final assembly, I can't reach it. It depends on what step General Zhan can do." Tan Zhenhua said hesitantly.
Zhan Nuozhu slanted his eyes and glanced at him and said: "Tan boy, don't pretend to be pitiful here, the general staff and the general assembly side, I will naturally persuade my father to help you as much as possible. After all, this can promote our Huaxia technology. It’s a good thing to make progress, but I don’t believe you don’t do it without them nodding your head, hum, I guess, your kid has made up the idea of ​​cutting first and playing later, right?"
