Chapter 837: The premise under the desktop

When Colonel Jalari and his entourage walked into a huge warehouse under the leadership of Tan Zhenhua, they were stunned to see a total of 56 brand-new Spey engines placed on the gantry with intact oil seals. Finally dispelled all doubts.
China Huaxia is really able to produce this kind of engine!
Eric Tan said that it is in stock, not bragging, it is really in stock!
To be honest, when leading the group of Persians to visit the warehouse, Wu Daguan and Li Mengzhen, who were accompanying them, were playing snare drums in their hearts, because ah, they knew that only 4 engines stored in this warehouse were made by China. The remaining 50 units were purchased in accordance with the contract requirements when the "Speey" technology was first introduced, and they were genuine 800 original products.
They are afraid of being seen by the Persians!
But they looked at Tan Zhenhua's face as usual, as if they were not worried at all.
He even pointed to the English nameplate on the engine to show off to Jarali: "Look, Mr. Colonel, we even require the nameplate to be copied exactly the same, so you don't have to worry about the quality problems produced by China."
Afterwards, Wu Daguan quietly asked Tan Zhenhua about this, and the answer he got was: "We know, but those Persians don't know, what are they afraid of?"
...
Colonel Jalari, who dispelled his doubts, immediately sent a telegram to the country to report the matter and quickly got a reply-he was authorized to start further negotiations.
The focus of the negotiations will obviously revolve around one thing: Ipos, at what price will get this engine.
Prior to this, Wu Daguan had told Tan Zhenhua that the unit price of these engines was 650,000 pounds per unit when they were purchased from Rolls-Royce. According to the exchange rate at the time, it was nearly 1.3 million U.S. dollars, considering that these engines were already stored in the warehouse. After 8 years, I'm afraid it won't be scrap if I put it down... Wu Daguan felt that if the original cost can be recovered, it is already a very good deal.
So when he heard that Tan Zhenhua’s first quote was $3 million per unit, he almost dropped his jaw...
And this is not all.
Tan Zhenhua also proposed that China must contract the engine upgrade project for all 225 Iposs F-4 "Phantom" fighters. For this reason, Iposs also needs to pay a design fee of up to 225 million U.S. dollars, modification fees, and labor costs. , Material costs, consulting fees...
In terms of conversion, the conversion cost of each fighter plane is as high as $1 million!
Wu Daguan felt that if he were sitting on the chair opposite Tan Zhenhua, he would not help but stand up and walk away.
In fact, Jalari, who was sitting in that position, did not behave too much. Wu Daguan found that the face under the beard of Mr. Colonel was already red as if bleeding.
Even if you know, 225 "ghosts" each need two engines, even if you don't consider backup, that is the number of requirements for 450, each of 3 million US dollars, that is 1.35 billion! Coupled with the various expenses of 225 million, the total is $1.575 billion!
And this does not include the subsequent purchase of wearing parts and maintenance services. If you add it, it will be more than 2 billion US dollars!
God, please drop a thunderstorm to kill this greedy fellow in front of you!
However, thinking about this blue star, at present, there is one and only one that can solve this confidant trouble of his motherland, and Mr. Colonel had to swallow this wish back into his stomach.
And he also knew that the young man sitting across from him with a neat face and a leisurely look was exactly this point in order to behave so confidently.
On the one hand, it is the price that will never let go, and on the other hand, the increasing pressure exerted by the domestic seeing the hope that it can completely solve the confidant’s troubles. Colonel Jalari feels that the joy at the beginning has gradually faded away. There is only helplessness and regret.
Why did I go to Xijing this time because I was so bewildered?
Fortunately, he is not completely unimaginable.
Because he knows that all such huge arms sales involve many factors, including political, economic, international relations, and possibly other transactions under the table.
So, after countless trials, and after Eric leaked some key information intentionally or unintentionally, he sent back a telegram to the country and proposed a plan.
This time the reply was not so fast. Instead, it took a full 48 hours. Obviously, the domestic side also had a debate on the plan he proposed. Jarari could even imagine that when discussing this plan, it was opposed. Several parties patted each other on the fierce scene of "traitors" at the table.
Fortunately, the final result was not bad. The plan was approved after some details were revised, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The final plan is divided into three parts.
First of all, Yiboss will purchase 4 "Speey" engines to modify 2 F-4 fighters for testing. The unit price of these 4 units will be based on Tan Zhenhua’s 3 million U.S. dollars. At the same time, China will provide a full set of modified Support-including technology, a full set of spare parts and construction, this part of the content will be separately priced, the standard is the conversion cost of 1 million US dollars per flight.
Secondly, if the performance of the modified fighter is recognized by Ipos, Ipos will place a one-time purchase order for 300 "Speey" engines to China, and enjoy the right to add more orders on the same terms within ten years. This batch of orders will be executed in 5 years. The purchase quantity in the first year will be 20 units, and the purchase quantity in the second year will be 50 units and gradually increase until all delivery in the last year. The purchase unit price of this batch of engines will drop to 2.6 million. At the same time, Huaxia will fully authorize a complete set of modification technical solutions to Yibos at a price of 15 million U.S. dollars and sell 20 sets of modification kits at a unit price of 500,000 U.S. dollars. The subsequent modification parts will be produced by Yibos domestically, and China will be responsible for it. Technical training and guidance must include teaching and meeting.
Finally, Huaxia will help Yibos build an overhaul line for the "Speey" engine at a price of US$80 million. This overhaul line will enable Yibos to have the ability to overhaul in addition to the three core parts of the engine, of course, many of them. Parts and components will need to rely on China for a long period of time.
Compared with the conditions put forward by Tan Zhenhua, this contract is undoubtedly a lot beneficial to Iperos. The total amount has also been reduced from US$2 billion to US$899 million. This is a saving for Iperos, whose economic situation has deteriorated sharply due to years of war. A large sum of money.
As for not being able to replace every F-4 with a new engine, that is also a helpless move. Now every penny has to be saved, and the remaining airplanes will use the old engines. The ability to retain part of the fighter's high-altitude and high-speed interception capabilities, and can also be replaced with the old engine that has been removed, is the most cost-effective approach.
Of course, in order to achieve the result of this negotiation, Yibos must have paid a price, and this price cannot be placed on the table, or even signed in this contract, but it is the premise that this business can be established!
