Hans did not expect that he and a large number of German engineers had not even begun to maintain China's S-70 helicopters, and they would not pass the first level of quality review of raw materials and spare parts.
It is true that the German Leipzig Company clearly stipulated huge liquidated damages in its contract with the Chinese side, but it was basically to restrict the Chinese side from playing tricks and unable to perform the contract normally. Therefore, Jodl and others set the liquidated damages extremely high when formulating the contract.
Out of the so-called principle of reciprocity, Yoder readily agreed to China¡¯s request to restrict them with huge liquidated damages.
Jodl and other senior executives of the Leipzig company had no objections to this. They felt that this was just a request for psychological comfort from the Chinese. The Germans are famous for being a rigorous and connotative nation that respects the spirit of contract. How could this be possible? Breach of contract?
¡°Of course, even if we take 10,000 steps back, Leipzig really wants to play some tricks. It¡¯s strange that the Chinese people can see it with their ignorant minds.
In addition, Leipzig believes that its technical level can crush all Chinese people, and its various spare parts and materials are enough to blind the Chinese people, let alone the so-called breach of contract terms finalized by China.
The signature is neat and neat.
¡°As a result, just when they were rolling up their arms and sleeves and preparing to rudely tear off a few pieces of meat from the fat sheep of China, Gu Jingyou from the Chinese judging panel unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water down.
Hans already knew what to say. To be honest, Hans had prepared for the worst for this review by the so-called expert review team in China. As a Chinese saying goes, he was just here to give someone a blow.
Although Hans is a German man, he still understands this truth very well and has responded accordingly. However, Gu Jingyou not only showed off his power, but also flipped the table as soon as he came up. This made Hans a little confused. This posture What should I do if I haven't seen him after living in Germany and China for such a long time?
Fortunately, Hans had been in the mall for many years, and he still had basic adaptability. So he squinted his eyes after being stunned for a moment, and looked at Gu Jingyou who was looking at another material sample with a group of technical experts, and raised his eyebrows. He raised the piece of paper in his hand and asked, "Mr. Gu, how dare you conclude that we in Europe cannot produce nomex materials?"
"It's very simple. Do you have aramid production plants in Europe? There may be one or two, but which one is not controlled by DuPont of the United States? There seems to be one in the Netherlands that is not controlled by the United States, but it seems that it was squeezed out by DuPont a few years ago. Finally, it seems to have been acquired by an American company called 3M."
Gu Jingyou didn't even raise his head, but he cleaned up the current situation of European aramid fibers like the emperor's new clothes. Hearing this, Hans was shocked and frightened, wondering how this guy knew so much about the situation of European aramid fibers. , but before he could react from his surprise, he saw Gu Jingyou holding the sandwich biscuit-like composite material version in his hand, tapping it with his knuckles, and making a beeping sound:
"This board should be the so-called composite version jointly developed by the American 3M Company and the Dutch company they acquired. What is its name?"
As Gu Jingyou spoke, he tapped his forehead with his other hand, and then he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and suddenly said: "I remember, it's called arall material. People who don't know what they are talking about can really be frightened. I'm stunned, but in my opinion, it's like taking off your pants and farting. Two aluminum alloy plates and one aramid 1414 plate. Is it interesting?
Oh, by the way, aramid 1414 is our group¡¯s internal name for our product. In American terms, it should be called kevlar. We directly transliterate it and call it Kevlar"
Hearing the word kevlar, Hans's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at Gu Jingyou with incomprehensible surprise, but more importantly, he was at a loss when someone revealed his trump card.
However, Hans still suppressed his uneasiness and said stiffly: "Yes, you are right, Mr. Gu, the interlayer in the middle is kevlar material, combined with two aviation aluminum alloy plates, it can completely replace s¡ª 70 base layer material, after all, the price of nomex material is too expensive, we can¡¯t completely use this staggeringly expensive thing, so part of it will be replaced with arall material.¡±
As if saying this was not enough to explain the problem, Hans added: "Many American-made helicopters in Europe use arall materials as the main maintenance materials, and have achieved very good results. In this regard, we have"
"I don't care what you have. If the helicopter you are repairing can use reinforced hoses, ropes or car tires and it's still safe, I can only say that yours is really awesome." Before Hans could finish his words, Gu Jingyou Then he interrupted the words lukewarmly.
Hans was stunned for a moment and looked at Gu Jingyou with a frown: "Mr. Gu, what do you mean?"
Gu Jingyou looked at Hans strangely: "Don't you know this? There are three types of kevlar materials. The basic kevlar is used for car tires and is reinforced with general industrial hoses; the higher-grade kevlar-29 It is used for the reinforcement of ropes or cables and the protective film on the outside of communication cables; only the final Kevlar-49 is a professional material used in the aviation industry.¡±
After saying that, Gu Jingyou looked at Hans up and down several times, then looked up at the tall and stupid so-called German aerospace engineers behind Hans, and asked in not very standard German. : "You don'tdon't even know such the most basic things, right?"
Now Hans was really confused. He only knew that the arall material jointly developed by the American 3M Company and the Netherlands Aerospace Laboratory could replace the aramid honeycomb material. As for the specific material used to synthesize it, he really didn¡¯t know.
I just know that this material is much cheaper than ordinary aramid honeycomb materials and kevlar materials, which helps their Leipzig company control costs, so I used it. I thought this kind of thing would shock a lot of people when it was brought to China. Experts who have never seen the world can still be ranked among the top.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jingyou only took a few glances to see through the arall material inside and out. What is the basic type, and what are 29 and 49? Hans and others were completely confused and could not figure it out at all. What is going on? There are so many opinions about Kevlar material? How can the Netherlands Aerospace Laboratory make it clear when purchasing arall materials?
"Also, as early as 1985, aviation-grade Kevlar-49 was only $20 per kilogram. You took two aluminum sheets and added a low-end product that was not even Kevlar-29 grade, and you dared to charge $200 per kilogram. , I said to Mr. Hans, do you think it¡¯s too much of a loss to provide us with free repairs? Then don¡¯t sign the contract at that time.¡±
Before he finished speaking, Gu Jingyou turned his head without hesitation and ordered to the person next to him: "This arall material is shoddy and the quality is not up to par. The German side is asking for a price that is 20% higher than the normal market price. It is suspected of fraud. The two are superimposed." , liquidated damages can be fixed penalties, don¡¯t bother forgetting the fraction, just record it as 2.5 billion US dollars.¡±
As soon as he said this, Hans quit immediately. Just as he was about to explain, he looked at Gu Jingyou and said, "By the way, the German aramid paper just now is also suspected of fraud. It is short fiber and is obviously from the Japanese company Teijin." Ordinary civilian materials for our products are fine, but using them on airplanes is tantamount to suicide. If you want to trick people into using authentic American Nomex materials, it¡¯s fine. You can make a small Japanese civilian grade to fool people, but these German fools don¡¯t know. What do you think, the previous one was adjusted from 800 million to 3.5 billion US dollars, wow~~ after just reading two materials, it jumped to 6 billion US dollars"
Hans couldn't hear the rest of the words. Firstly, Gu Jingyou had already walked away. Secondly, he really couldn't hold on any longer. He staggered and was about to fall over. Fortunately, the German engineer behind him held him up, but Hans couldn't hold on anymore. Si did not have time to care about himself, and said in a hoarse voice: "Quick, tell Mr. Yoder quickly, tell Mr. Yoder the situation here quickly"
