After listening to Cheng Yuan's words, Wu Hongfei, who had a lot of experience and was not easily excited, began to be moved by it. "Obviously, if what Cheng Yuan said is true, it would be tantamount to opening an opening for arms sales to China, and it is an opening for arms sales of advanced weapons. This is not easy! Many people say that China's weapons and equipment have always followed the path of self-reliance and independent research and development. They rarely import foreign weapons, so they can develop to the point where they are today, attracting the attention of the world, and many people are proud of it. But as a senior weapons expert, or a senior technocrat, Wu Hongfei knew how much helplessness was involved. In fact, in terms of weapons scientific research, so far, China has not had much true self-reliance, or independent innovation. China's weapons and equipment are basically based on borrowing and stealing, and this borrowing or stealing The objects of study are mainly Russia, Europe and the United States. Let¡¯s not talk about Russian weapons. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, China has been absorbing the legacy of the former Soviet Union. For this reason, China took the opportunity to import a batch of Russian aircraft. On this basis, China has made a major leap in the development of its own fighter aircraft. But in fact, although Russia's weapons are advanced, they were severely damaged by the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, and their quality is no longer as good as that of Europe and the United States. Especially in terms of aircraft engines, aircraft avionics systems, etc., they are already far behind Europe and the United States. gap. Therefore, the representatives of truly advanced weapons in the world are European and American products. If there hadn¡¯t been that damn ban, China could have imported the most advanced aircraft from Europe and the United States. If there were enough advanced European and American products, especially if they had obtained other people¡¯s core technologies such as engines, and then reversed research and development, the technology might have been even better than it is now. advanced. This is because independent research and development does not mean working behind closed doors. If you can import advanced weapons from other countries. If you carry out reverse research and development, you can save a lot of detours and time. China has always coveted advanced weapons, advanced equipment and technologies from Europe and the United States. Unfortunately, if they don¡¯t give it to you, you won¡¯t be able to import it. At most, you can smuggle something back for reference. This will have a huge impact on the upgrading of the entire industry. Not big. ??The United States will not talk about it. It has always imposed an embargo on China. Count on the countries with advanced weapons in the world. Apart from Russia, only Europe is relatively high-end, but Europe's attitude towards China is not very good either. Let¡¯s not talk about the earlier ban on Batumi. Although Batumi was later disbanded, the EU still implemented a strict arms ban on China and required EC member states to strictly implement it. Therefore, European countries have stopped exporting advanced weapons or advanced equipment to China since the late 1980s. It¡¯s precisely because we can¡¯t import good things. The country of China has just begun the difficult road of self-reliance. Wang Hongfei, who has experienced all this personally, knows how much hardship it has been. It can be said that if the former Soviet Union had not disintegrated. If China does not purchase some of Russia's advanced aircraft and conduct research and development on this basis, it is not known how long it will take for China to develop a new set of fighter jets on its own. It is precisely because China¡¯s weapons are basically based on the former Soviet Union. Therefore, China's weapons still look like Russian-style weapons. At most, they borrow some elements from European and American design concepts, but inside they are still from the former Soviet Union. Now. The famous Swedish company Saab has launched a world-class aircraft, but then turned around and told them that it can export it to you, and can also license some of its technology and let you OEM it in your own country This, this is simply pie in the sky. ! "Is everything you said true?" Thinking of this, Wu Hongfei lost his temper slightly and confirmed again, "Can you be responsible for your words? No, I mean, you can make decisions on behalf of Saab, no, on behalf of Osten. "We have cooperated before. Have you ever seen me talk nonsense?" Cheng Yuan said, "In fact, even if you don't come to me, I will come to you. After all, this is their established strategy." "You know, in the current environment, arms sales are still very sensitive, so the specific details must not be disclosed, don't you think?" "That's right, that's right." Wu Hongfei nodded quickly to express his understanding. ¡°It¡¯s true that when it comes to military procurement and technology sales, few countries directly come forward. Most of them entrust some private individuals to test the waters first, serve as a pathfinder, and then conduct secret transactions. In the past, China has conducted many such private transactions with European, American and Japanese countries. Even China's arms sales to foreign countries were mostly handled by private companies. For example, the weapons procurement in many African countries is done by certain Chinese companies and is not done in the name of the country at all. In this regard, it is the same as in the United States, Europe, Russia and other countries. Like this kind of weapons broker, technology broker, Wu Hongfei and othersHe has also come into contact with many people, so he now regards Cheng Yuan as this kind of person. "You see, although Sweden is not a member of NATO yet, it is a member of the EU after all, and the EU also has an EU ban, doesn't it? Even the EU's arms ban is already a piece of paper full of holes, but on the surface You have to give some face." Cheng Yuan smiled, "So, although Saab is interested in opening up China's weapons market, it can't do it openly. Therefore, they want to use the name of technology investment to invest in China. "To set up a factory, to cooperate with you." "Technology investment, to set up a factoryyou mean, to set up a joint venture?" "Yes!" Cheng Yuandao, "Let me be honest, you also know the current economic situation in Europe. Due to the weak recovery and the recent financial crisis, Nordic countries such as Sweden and Norway decided to establish a separate small circle within the EU to help each other. However, in order to stimulate economic growth, advanced countries are the only ones. The technology is not good yet, and there must be enough markets, otherwise it will be useless if the products produced cannot be sold. The European market is currently weak, and the markets in the United States and Japan are also sluggish, so the Chinese market is one of the areas they are very interested in. . They plan to expand investment in China and transfer some enterprises to China to stimulate new economic growth points in the country. Among them, arms sales are a stepping stone and a sign of their sincerity. Will they do it again in the future? "Move over more joint venture projects." "Well, that's a good idea." Wu Hongfei nodded, "Now is the era of global economics. Only mutual cooperation can achieve win-win results, and the relationship between China and Sweden has always been good. We absolutely welcome this kind of investment. ""Haha, let me talk about their basic plan," Cheng Yuan continued, "This kind of Crow aircraft cannot be sold to you openly, it can only be dismantled. After equipping it with some avionics equipment, it was converted into a training aircraft and sold to a private company in China. You should understand this, right?" "I understand, I understand very well." Wu Hongfei grinned. Although this kind of trick can't deceive people, but with this name, it will always be much better internationally. For example, China's first aircraft carrier was originally bought by private individuals under the name of civilian use. After buying it back, haha hehe. "Just understand." Cheng Yuan also smiled, "Besides, this Raven aircraft is only a test aircraft, and it is not intended to be equipped with the Swedish Air Force, so" "Wait a minute, let me interrupt." Wu Hongfei asked suddenly. "The Swedish Air Force doesn't want such a good aircraft? Why?" "It's very simple, because this aircraft is just a transitional product." Cheng Yuan smiled kindly, "The Swedish Air Force's choice. It is another one they designed. The aircraft, codenamed Gray Swan, is a true sixth-generation aircraft. "Gray Swan? A sixth-generation aircraft?" Wu Hongfei felt his eyebrows jump. "Unexpectedly Listen to what you mean, could it be that they have already designed a prototype?" "Yes." Cheng Yuan squinted his eyes, "As far as I know, this kind of Gray Swan aircraft has already produced a prototype, but there are some places There are still improvements to be made, such as avionics, intelligent control systems, and new weapon systems, so they are not shown publicly. Of course, I hope you don't spread the word. " "Don't worry, I understand." Wu Hongfei corrected. Look straight. "Hmm." Cheng Yuan nodded disapprovingly, "Let's go back to the Crow. In short, for this Crow aircraft, in order to maximize profits, the Saab Group decided to only produce the engine and stealth coating of this fighter aircraft in its own country. Core equipment such as avionics equipment, as well as parts such as the fuselage, are all produced in foundries. At present, through our efforts, they have agreed to set up foundry factories in China and invest in foundry factories in China to produce aircraft. parts, and then import their engines and other core equipment to assemble them into a training aircraft without weapons and equipment. However, this foundry can only be run by a private company that has no direct relationship with the Chinese government, and it is basically established that it is run by me. We can¡¯t allow others to interfere in the establishment of this company. Don¡¯t you object?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Wu Hongfei said with a smile, ¡°Director Cheng has paid so much, so it¡¯s appropriate and reasonable. Don¡¯t worry, as long as you can bring in the technology, I guarantee that no one will come to pick peaches with you.¡± ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not what you think,¡± Cheng Yuan said with a smile, ¡°The reason why we have to set up a factory is as a private company. It's because there will be fewer obstacles if they cooperate with private companies. After all, they also want to use this matter as a way to test the reaction of European and American governments. If the backlash from the European and American governments is not so fierce, then they can deal with further developments. I have a general understanding of cooperation. As for why I am asked to set up a factory, it is also because of the non-partisan understanding.They are all working for the Austen Company and are recognized by the outside world as the agent of the Austen Group in China, so with my status, it is much easier to do things. " "Actually, Mr. Cheng, you don't need to explain this. "Wu Hongfei said with a smile, "We all understand the truth. Don't worry, we all see Director Cheng's patriotism in our eyes, and we absolutely support Director Cheng's entrepreneurship in China. " "Ah That's good. "Cheng Yuan continued, "When the time comes, I will set up a foundry in Landong New District to specialize in producing this kind of 'modified trainer' of the Crow aircraft. After that, while exporting the products to Sweden, I can keep them. Some aircraft are resold to you. But you'd better not directly change it into a fighter plane and show it off, but use it for private research first. In short, try to reduce the appearance rate of this kind of aircraft as much as possible in the short term. Wait until you have a sufficient number of this kind of aircraft. This is for everyone. That's all good, isn't it? " "Don't worry, we all understand this. "Wu Hongfei then nodded, "We in China still have this kind of forbearance skill. " "still have a question. Cheng Yuan continued, "They can provide the technology for setting up a joint venture factory, but in terms of funds, you must pay in full, and it can only be given to us in the form of bank loans, not in the form of shares. In this regard, you Can you decide and agree? " "Although I can't make the decision for the bank, I think there shouldn't be any problem with this. "Wu Hongfei said, "As long as you really set up a factory in China, can really introduce the technology of this kind of aircraft, and can really sell some products to us, then I think the bank will not disagree with providing you with a loan, and Definitely a preferential loan. " "Very good, it seems we have reached a consensus. "Cheng Yuan nodded and said, "Well, you can quickly ask your superiors for instructions. If you agree to the conditions I mentioned, then I will reply to the Saab Group and ask them to send manpower to set up a factory here as soon as possible. I think if everything is in place, or if your funds are in place, we can set up the factory within a month and produce the first aircraft. " "A month? "Wu Hongfei said in surprise, "You mean the factory can be built and finished products can be produced in one month? " "certainly. Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "As far as I know, they have achieved modularization and full automation for this Raven aircraft. That is to say, as long as the modular parts are in place, there is basically no need for manual labor, and the entire process is complete." It's the robot that controls it. " After a pause, Cheng Yuancai continued: "So, the parts we want to OEM are just the modular parts of this aircraft, such as the aircraft fuselage, aircraft engines, metamaterial stealth coatings and other core technologies , it has to be produced in Sweden and then shipped over for assembly. In this way, things are simple. All Saab Group has to do is to transport several production lines and production equipment, and then send several groups of technicians to debug the machines. What we need to do here is to provide funds, factories and raw materials, such as high-quality graphite powder, rare earth ores, etc. As for the construction of high-standard factory buildings, you don¡¯t have to worry. After all, you have seen the power of those construction robots and new building materials. It won¡¯t take long for me to build the factory buildings. Therefore, the only thing we lack now is funds and the supply of high-quality raw materials. This is what you have to do. Let me put it this way, as long as you have the funds in place, this cooperation project can be launched immediately, and there will definitely be no delay! When the time comes, if we fight fast and slow, we will create an established fact. Then after Western countries react, there will be no way to stop it, don't you think? " "I see. "Wu Hongfei nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I will contact the boss right away and report your intentions in detail. I guarantee to give you an accurate reply within three days!
