However, the indifference of the leaders of the Army Aviation did not dispel Yoder's positive attitude, so much so that even his assistant became a little tired of his job, and spoke carefully to persuade: "Sir, it is just an alternative helicopter produced by China, so ¡¡±
"So you don't think it's necessary to flatter the Chinese people like this, do you?" After hearing this, the assistant named Hans nodded quickly, and Yoder smiled when he saw it: "So, you have been in the company for more than three years, and you are still It is not unreasonable not to have outstanding performance. First of all, we must make it clear that everything we do is to make profits for the company. Because of this"
Yoder¡¯s smile instantly faded as he spoke, and he looked at Hans coldly: ¡°Put away your narrow nationalism. It¡¯s not something you can eat, and it can never be used as money.¡±
Hans was frightened by Jodel¡¯s sudden reprimand, and then he realized that Jodel was not only the technical director of the Leipzig maintenance outsourcing company, but also the senior partner of the company.
In other words, the company¡¯s interests are directly related to Yodel¡¯s personal wealth.
So it is not difficult to understand that Yodel wants to obtain a production license for the "small forklift" helicopter, because he is interested in the engineering helicopter market among infrastructure projects with extremely high profit margins.
You must know that there is only one company in this market today. By refurbishing the S-64 and aerial crane retired by the US military, it almost monopolizes the engineering hoisting and transportation business in complex terrain.
To capture unimaginable excess profits for the United States and its affiliated engineering companies.
European engineering companies are particularly jealous of this, especially Germany. As the world's major producer of engineering equipment, German engineering companies are also world-renowned and participate in bidding for countless important projects.
However, with the rise of Japan and South Korea, and the dominance of the United States in the top position, the competitive advantage of German engineering companies is gradually declining. However, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how bad Germany is, the old foundation will still be there, as long as it is slightly integrated. , even if he has shortcomings, his ability can still crush all the people.
Engineering helicopters are one of the sharp tools to narrow the gap with leading American engineering companies.
If it were another model, Yoder would not be so aggressive. The reason is very simple. No matter how bad Europe is, it can still be regarded as an industrial concentration area for helicopter manufacturing. Even if it is not as good as the United States and the Soviet Union, it is still more than enough to defeat China.
The problem is that not only are the tonnage of European helicopters generally small, but they are also mainly designed for cockpit load-bearing. External hoisting is not impossible, but the hoisting capacity is generally weak.
If this were not the case, European countries would not need to import American heavy transport helicopters such as the "Chinook" and "Sea Stallion" from the United States. After all, they are still inferior in helicopter technology.
However, if heavy military transport helicopters such as "Chinook" or "Sea Stallion" are used for engineering hoisting, the cost is obviously not worth it. If we start from scratch and make a special engineering helicopter like S-64 or aerial crane, the early design, The investment in research and development is a large amount. In addition, the number of such special engineering helicopters will not be too large. It is difficult to dilute the cost and there are great uncertain risks. Therefore, even if it is proposed, it will largely be rejected by the board of directors or behind the scenes. Investors refused.
However, by purchasing Ascendas Group¡¯s ¡°small forklift¡± helicopter, everything will be easily solved.
First of all, the huge initial design and R&D costs have been fully borne by the Chinese; secondly, judging from the previous landing process of the five "small forklift" helicopters, the overall performance is not bad.
Finally, and the most important point is that China's economy is now in the recovery stage and is in urgent need of external capital injection and export. At this time, Leipzig maintenance outsourcing company intervenes, and it is very possible to obtain "small forklifts" in a cost-effective way. Production license for helicopters.
If nothing else, it would be a good choice to help the Chinese military repair and maintain S-70 helicopters at a low price in exchange for a production license for "small forklift" helicopters.
If it can be done, even if it only charges one million US dollars in maintenance fees, the Leipzig maintenance outsourcing company will definitely make a lot of money.
After all, Hans was an old man who had been working in the company for three or four years. Even though his vision was a bit narrow, so many years of professional experience allowed him to quickly understand Yodel's intention. He immediately looked a little sad, thinking I explained a few words to Yodel, but when I looked up, I didn't know when Yodel had disappeared.
Turning around, I found that Yoder was like a die-hard star-chasing fan, following Zhuang Jianye who had just left the hangar, with rich expressions and smart body language, talking non-stop to the head of Ascendas Group. What, but Zhuang Jianye just nodded with a smile and occasionally said a few words, obviously not taking Yoder's words seriously.
But Yoder never didGiving up makes your enthusiasm even higher, like a fire that can really burn the entire desert.
I don¡¯t know whether he was really moved by Yodel¡¯s sincerity or simply annoyed by the entanglement. I saw Zhuang Jianye suddenly stopped and said something, and then Yodel¡¯s long face with a hairy beard immediately bloomed. Juhua smiled warmly, nodded excitedly, and waved to Hans.
Immediately he ran all the way over, shouting as he ran: "Hurry, Hans, prepare the car, we are going to a county in the southwest. This is a good opportunity to get up close and personal with the engineering application of the 'small forklift' helicopter."
Hans was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at his watch: "Sir, what about our lunch"
"Eat some biscuits. Time waits for no one. We still have one and a half hours until the two o'clock hoisting. We have to hurry up." Yodel seemed a little impatient. Hans wanted to say something more, but Yodel was eager to intervene. She looked like she was flying over with her wings, but she still kept her mouth shut.
¡¡
Not to mention how Yodel found a car and how he made the bumpy journey to the construction site of high-voltage power transmission and transformation in a county in southwest China. After lunch, Zhuang Jianye got on an S-70 with the chief of Air China and several leaders. The helicopter took off slowly, then turned in a semicircle in the air and flew towards the power transmission and transformation construction site.
When the plane was completely stable, accompanied by the noisy roar of the turboshaft engine, the head of the Army Airlines sitting opposite suddenly asked: "Xiaozhuang, what does Yodel mean?"
"I just feel that our 'small forklift' helicopter meets the needs of some departments in Germany. I hope to purchase this helicopter. If possible, it is best to introduce the production line to Germany. To be honest, I am quite surprised. I really did not expect that 'small forklift' helicopter Forklift's helicopter could get favor from Germans.
But then again, the development process of Ascendas Group for so many years has been like this. The products are all popular inside the wall and popular outside the wall There is no way. If it doesn't work, we can only sell the production line. Alas To be honest, Chief, our Ascendas Group has been unable to uncover the truth in the past few years~~~"
The head of Lu Aviation was fine at first, but when he heard the end, his old face shook and he started to twitch a little.
