Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the manor conference room where Qi Yiming stayed, Bierworth finally met the money-spreading boy of his destiny.

    Although I was surprised by Qi Yiming's youth, it seemed that this young man was not similar to most of his compatriots and was not so stereotyped, including his clothes. He looked more like an ordinary young Asian living in the United States.  , rather than a central official living in communist China.

    "Bilworth's energy is now fully revealed. Except for Bilworth, an American, there are no US government figures in this spacious conference room.  On such occasions, people from the government would definitely want to come in and listen to what they were talking about, but Bierworth had the ability to not let them in.

    There are two people on the Chinese side. In addition to Qi Yiming, there is also a young man who is also not very old, probably in his early thirties.  This person's name is Zhou Yutong, who holds a master's degree in business administration from Harvard University in the United States. After returning to China, he was originally working in a state-owned enterprise. After Qi Yiming planned to start trouble, he entrusted Liao Huairen to recruit a group of returnees with such knowledge and ability.  He joined the 9527 project and prepared to build a group of enterprises to directly join the national construction and the arms export projects he arranged.

    "Hello, Mr. Bierworth, thank you very much for coming. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Qi Jingren. I am the main person responsible for coordinating military projects in CPC. I have no actual government position.  But in general, any military project in the Republic is related to me." Qi Yiming gave himself a pseudonym, which is actually easy to guess. He chose the homophony of the last two words.

    Bierworth was very surprised. He didn't expect that he encountered such a big fish, and said: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Qi. With all due respect, the work you are responsible for and your age are really surprising.  "

    Qi Yiming shook his head and said: "My face is deceptive. Of course I can tell you that judging my true age by my appearance will only be wrong, haha."

    Bierworth was even more peculiar and asked: "You look like a young man in his twenties or thirties. Aren't you that age? Oh, I'm offended."

    Qi Yiming laughed: "I am not twenty-three years old, nor can I be a teenager. Well, I am not forty years old either. You can guess for yourself. Let's stop here. This topic does not make much sense."

    "Of course he is not in his twenties or thirties, or in his forties or fifties. His actual age now should be minus five years old

    "Oh, China is such a magical country. If Mr. Qi's method of eternal youth can be popularized, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money!" Bierworth sighed.

    "It's a pity, just think of me as a monster, this skill can't be promoted." Qi Yiming said with a smile.  Yes, who can travel through time with a red police base vehicle like him?

    After some banter, the two parties went directly to the topic. Qi Yiming did not show any plan or anything like it to Bierworth. He just passed on the information orally. This was also to keep it confidential.

    "Here I can first inform Mr. Bierworth and American friends about one thing, that is, we have conducted secret communication and consultation with Iran and are preparing to let Iran transfer a batch of F-14 fighter jets in their hands to our country.  Establish our country's air superiority mission squadron. Of course, even if Iran transfers all their fighters to our country, this number is still not enough. At the same time, we are not satisfied with some of the performance of the fighters and hope that they can be carried out according to our own requirements.  Customer customization and upgrades, so it is necessary to say hello to Grumman. Iran has initially agreed to transfer their F-14s to us for a fee. We also intend to purchase a batch of 30 F-14 fighters from your company in advance.  . If the project progresses smoothly, we will launch the second batch of F-14 procurement plans.¡±

    Bierworth was so surprised that his eyes almost fell out. He asked: "Iran? Iran is currently at war with Iraq, and our F-14 is their biggest reliance on ensuring air superiority. How could they use the F-14 to ensure their air superiority?"  -14 transferred to your country? Can you tell me what price you paid for the Iranian fighter jets?¡±

    Qi Yiming was not afraid to tell Bierworth, saying: "We will replace Iran's F-14 Tomcats 1:1 with our domestically produced new generation light fighter FC-1 Xiaolong. At the same time, our country will also provide Iran with a batch of capable  In conjunction with the advanced active medium-range missile used by the FC-1, it also includes two early warning aircraft.¡±

    Although this sentence only had a few dozen words, the amount of information revealed was so great that Bierworth did not respond for a while. It took him a long time to ask: "Your country's military technology has developed to such a high level."  Are you up to par? Have you developed active mid-range air-to-air missiles and early warning aircraft that Iran can pay for? I didn¡¯t know that China has made such great achievements in electronic technology and aviation industry.¡±

    Qi Yiming smiled and said: "You should have heard what I said.You must have taken a special plane.  "

    Bierworth nodded: "A narrow-body passenger plane like the Boeing 737 is not a product of any aviation manufacturing company in the United States or Europe. Could it be said that it is a passenger plane independently developed and manufactured by your country? This this is really amazing.  "The adjective he originally intended to use was impossible, but in order not to appear too rude, he had to change it.

    "Let me give you the bottom line. Even during times of turmoil, the military industrial project I lead is well hidden somewhere inland. I use various methods to rescue important talents and obtain funds. While protecting myself, I am also in turmoil.  After the end, we have harvested a large number of important products that are not inferior to the world's advanced level. Of course, compared with the strong scientific and technological capabilities of the United States, we are only a small player, but I personally think that China now has the basis for cooperation with the United States."  Qi Yiming's lies come as soon as he opens his mouth.

    He paused and continued: "For example, our country can develop good air-to-air missiles, develop relatively advanced avionics systems, and develop an early warning aircraft platform, but our country does not yet have the ability to develop a Tomcat similar to your company's  An equally advanced and powerful heavy-duty air superiority fighter."

    Bierworth's face lit up after hearing his words. It is naturally a wonderful thing to be recognized by others.

    ¡°So, based on the idea of ??enhancing military mutual trust and scientific and technological cooperation between China and the United States, combined with China¡¯s advantages in some fields and Grumman¡¯s advanced experience in developing fighter aircraft, our country hopes to launch a more comprehensive cooperation with Grumman.  , on the excellent platform of F-14, we will carry out some upgrades and improvements that meet our country¡¯s national defense needs.¡±

    Bierworth felt that he had heard something wrong again, "Do you plan to cooperate with us to improve and upgrade the F-14?"

    "That's right. As far as I know, the F-14's TF30 engine has many instability problems. For a country with a relatively weak foundation in our country, it cannot tolerate a neurotic engine, so we are preparing to develop a more mature engine in our country.  A WS-10A engine is equipped on the F-14 produced by your company. In addition, we also have certain doubts about the Phoenix missile, especially since we have developed an advanced missile with a range of 120 kilometers and is only half the size of the Phoenix.  Medium-range interceptor missiles, so we hope to integrate Chinese weapons on the F-14. In addition, although I know that the AGW-9 radar of the F-14 is powerful, I am very excited to tell you that we have avionics.  There are still some achievements, and we hope to install radars with better self-produced capabilities on the F-14.¡±

    Bierworth took a sip of coffee and smacked his lips before confirming that the Chinese with a serious expression was not telling lies. It seemed that the Chinese had indeed made considerable breakthroughs in many technologies.  From the perspective of the United States, it is quite meaningful to understand China's progress in military technology through cooperation in developing an upgraded version of the F-14.

    Naturally, Qi Yiming hadn't finished his words yet. He said: "If the project goes well, we will purchase 30 F-14s from your country in the early stage. We can get some of the 90% new second-hand aircraft. In addition, your company's technical personnel will need Go to one of our aircraft manufacturing companies to cooperate on the plan to upgrade the F-14. Of course, if we want to do this, it seems that we need an F-14 assembly line. After all, if we receive F-14s from Iran and the United States, The total number exceeds 100. Without this thing, we simply cannot complete the upgrade work. Of course, we will not make it difficult for your company. If the project progresses absolutely smoothly, we will add a second batch of production orders from mastering to upgrading. Grumman is producing 20 new versions of the F-14 in the United States, all of which use our new engines and new radars, and can launch new versions of my country's independently developed air-to-air missiles. Then, we purchase corresponding parts in the United States. The components will be assembled in the country and 30 more fighter jets of this type will be produced. We have made a rough estimate, including the transfer of overhaul lines and production lines. There will be a total of 70 F-14 fighter jets from the United States in three batches before and after the purchase. The total contract value is 3.2 billion US dollars.¡±

    All the doubts and confusions that Billworth had just had were all dispelled at this moment. This was US$3.2 billion in the 1980s, more than doubling the purchasing power of the US dollar twenty years later.  What makes Bierworth even more excited is that if all contracts are implemented, China will build an F-14 fleet with a total number of 150 aircraft, second only to the U.S. Navy. After-sales service, maintenance, etc.  Miscellaneous expenses are another huge amount of income.  What's more, Bierworth is also ready to sell a batch at a low price and use China as a bright and big sign for advertising.

    As a result, as soon as Qi Yiming sat here, he immediately gave Grumman an almost huge pie.  Now there is only one voice in the CEO's head that keeps thinking: Eat it, eat it
