Chapter 958: Bell Helicopter negotiations

At this time, almost the whole world knows, what plateau helicopters Han says is a fig leaf, an excuse, Han wants to build a general-purpose helicopter, this market is quite big!
Bell Company, relying on helicopters such as UH-1 and AH-1, has become the world's largest helicopter manufacturer. Naturally, it is very concerned about the market in Han, and hopes to rely on the civilian Bell 212 helicopter. Take down the huge market of Han.
The method they adopted was actually the same model as Qin Guanxiang's Black Hawk helicopter. With civilian helicopters as cover, military models could enter in grandeur. After all, military models are more profitable.
Now, the other party looked at Qin Guan with expectant eyes, as if saying, how about? Not tempted?
Qin Guan shook his head. Seeing Qin Guan's expression, everyone was taken aback. What happened?
"Mr. Gray, I think you are mistaken. We really want a plateau helicopter. Since your helicopter can't fly on the plateau, it probably doesn't meet our bidding standards." Qin Guan Said.
Does this person want to ask for bribes? Gray thought in his heart that this method has been seen in many countries, but there are rumors that this Qin Guan is not bad for money.
Gray was still thinking about this, and heard Qin Guan continue to say: "If you can modify the helicopter, such as upgrading the engine's power system, so that it can participate in the flight on the plateau, you can come in and bid, otherwise, Sorry, I really can't do anything."
There are many requirements to be able to go to the plateau, and the engine is the most important one. Because the air in the plateau is thin, the power of the engine will be reduced, and the power must be improved. This is the first step. At the same time, it is also related to the efficiency of the helicopter rotor. And so on.
Since the Bell 212 helicopter has two rotors, no matter how it is improved, the performance on the plateau is not as good as that of four rotors. Hearing Qin Guan's words, Gray was already discouraged. Can you open the market anymore?
But I heard Qin Guan continue to say: "As for the needs of the army, I really don’t know. However, if you really intend to sell to the army, you should also transport the corresponding model, such as the AH-1 helicopter. Let the military conduct a review. That’s it. Now, you only talk about the civilian Bell 212, and now you say it has a close relationship with the AH-1, but no one knows how it works."
Hearing this, Gray immediately reacted and secretly scolded Qin Guan for being cunning.
The Han State Army has no armed helicopters at all. It can be said that this potential is quite huge, and it is this market that it is targeting.
Seeing that the small antelope of Ji Country has been repeatedly tested by the Han people, maybe they will place an order. The performance of our own AH-1 gunship is definitely better than that of the light small antelope.
Of course the other party will be tempted, but the other party is even more cunning. He wants him to bring this armed helicopter!
That's right, this is what Qin Guan meant. Since you want to sell, do you want to sell a piece of paper and make a ppt? Stop it. (To make an analogy, there is no PPT yet)
Qin Guan would definitely not agree. If you really want to promote your cobra, then take it and let us test it. This test, less to say, has to be tested for one and a half years, so that the design of professional armed helicopters and the operation of various systems will be clear to everyone.
Then, when we have eaten the Black Hawk thoroughly, we will also start the research and development of the gunship.
Without these references, Qin Guan would also get it from the weapon cemetery for everyone to study, and now, since the other party took the initiative to send it to the door, why should we not take the bait?
One was sent to the Army for testing.
At the same time, in this case, you can also hold down the price with the chicken country. Qin Guan has made up his mind to buy the small antelope in the chicken country. If there is only the chicken country, then maybe the chicken country will have a high price. After all, this is They are good at it, and now, with the involvement of Bell Company, it is just right to find fault with the antelope.
No, the load capacity is too small, single shot is not safe, and the fire control system is not advanced.
What, have to come? Well, in terms of price, let's talk about it. If it's suitable, let's buy some. If it doesn't fit, let's buy a cobra.
In all fairness, the performance of the Cobra gunship is still good, and it has been tested by the war in previous years. It can be said that it is relatively mature.
It is a pity that it is still only 5 tons, which does not meet Qin Guan's vision. A professional armed helicopter can only be used if it is ten tons. Just look at the Apache developed by Eagle Country later.
Now that he has an advanced goal, he certainly can't go back and engage in such backwardness. This is Qin Guan's vision. It couldn't be better for them to participate in the bidding. The chess game of introducing helicopters is getting bigger and bigger.
Qin Guan said that, making the other party a little embarrassed. After all, the export ban is there. If he sends a gunship to bid in an dignified manner, I am afraid there will be a rumor. The people of Ji Country know that they will bid, and they will definitely be in the world Spread rumors.
"It is said that the army is going to reform and add an army aviation department. After the Chinese New Year, it will be discussed by high-level officials. If this aviation department is to be formed, the demand will definitely be great. Maybe there will be armed helicopters. The scale of hundreds of aircraft, I think, we not only need to import, but also need to import technology, I hope you will be mentally prepared."
As soon as this word came out, the other party was taken aback.
Need to introduce technology? How does this work? Of course, they are not willing to export technology to Han. Once Han has learned it, what money will they make?
Of course Qin Guan knew this period of history. After repeated studies in Han, the final conclusion was that a 4 to 5 ton helicopter was needed. After screening back and forth, he was optimistic about the Bell 212 helicopter. However, Bell asked for too high a price. And it didn't output the technology yet, and finally it didn't reach a conclusion.
What Qin Guan said now, of course, was to give them a shot. If the other party only plans to sell the plane, the future of the negotiation is not optimistic.
"Of course, in the initial introduction, there may be hundreds of scales, and then we will introduce production and gradually have the ability to produce by ourselves." Qin Guan was afraid of scaring away the other party, and then painted cakes for the other party.
If the technology is not technical, at least the amount introduced at the beginning is quite considerable, so I am not afraid that the other party will not be tempted.
Sure enough, when he heard that hundreds of them would be introduced in the initial stage, Gray was tempted again.
With the end of the war, the Eagle Nation’s military orders have been greatly reduced, and they urgently need to expand overseas markets.
