Chapter 187: Cooperation with Pakistan to jointly develop the Dragon Shadow fighter project Lin Chenran and others stood at the gate of their factory, watching Shabtai Warren and others slowly drive out of their sight before turning back to the office. Meng Chunping asked Lin Chenran with a worried look on his face: "Boss Lin, do you think Pakistan will agree to the conditions we proposed?" Although the Pakistani delegation showed great interest in the Longying fighter, Meng Chunping was still unsure. Everyone knows that Pakistan’s military budget is not ample. Lin Chenran seemed full of confidence and comforted him, "Mr. Meng, don't worry. Pakistan will definitely come back to continue the negotiations with us." "As long as they pay a little more, they can get an advanced third-generation fighter, and I think they will make a wise decision." Lin Chenran firmly believes that Pakistan will definitely come to him again to discuss cooperation. Because for Pakistan, being able to introduce an advanced third-generation fighter and achieve domestic production is undoubtedly a dream come true. The Type 617 main battle tank previously developed in cooperation with the 80 Mechanical Military Factory has already brought Pakistan a taste of success. Today, in tank battles, Pakistan is no less powerful than the White Elephant Kingdom.
If they can successfully purchase the Dragon Shadow fighter jets from the 077 Mechanical Arsenal this time, they will have more advantages when facing the White Elephant Kingdom. Several 077 Mechanical Arsenal personnel present nodded repeatedly, and they also agreed with Lin Chenran's statement. The heavy stone in Meng Chunping's heart slowly settled down. Because he trusted the judgment of his factory manager. This has become the norm. …… Just as Lin Chenran said, three days later, Shabtai Warren from the Pakistani delegation brought several members to the 077 Mechanical Arsenal to continue negotiations. Finally, the cooperation was reached, with Pakistan investing 077 million US dollars in the initial stage and the Machinery Military Factory investing million US dollars. The proportions of the two sides are three and seven. In other words, Pakistan accounted for 30% of the sales of the Dragon Shadow fighter jets in the later period. The 077 Mechanical Military Factory will set up a new company with Pakistan to specialize in the sales of Dragon Shadow fighter jets. In the later stage of investment, the 077 Mechanical Military Factory will definitely account for the bulk of the investment. In any case, Pakistan will not lose out. The 077 Machinery Military Factory made huge profits. Lin Chenran also reminded Saboteur Warren that he would look for new partners in the future. The advantage of doing this is that the investment is reduced. The downside is that Pakistan won’t make that much money in the later stages. Sabtai Warren agreed to it because there was nothing he could do as Pakistan was extremely poor. Finding more partners can reduce a lot of burden for Pakistan.
why not! As for making money? That will have to wait until the Dragon Shadow fighter is designed, developed and manufactured, and high-quality customers are found. Otherwise, want to make money? difficult! It's just a matter of choice, there's nothing right or wrong about it. The main reason is that Pakistan is too poor now and can only take care of the present. …… At the same time, after the 077 Mechanical Military Factory signed a cooperation agreement with Pakistan to jointly develop the Dragon Shadow fighter, Wei Lao, the head of the Yan State’s military equipment department, called Lin Chenran. A hearty laugh came from the microphone. "Lin boy, congratulations on your fortune!" Lin Chenran was slightly startled, then a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Mr. Wei, please stop joking. How can I get rich?" He knew very well what it meant to receive a call from Mr. Wei at this time. Sure enough, the next moment, Wei Lao's voice came: "The cooperation with Pakistan on the Dragon Shadow fighter project is a big deal!" Elder Wei's words made Lin Chenran tremble uncontrollably. He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "It's just a small business!" "You know how poor Pakistan is." Lin Chenran sighed helplessly. But Mr. Wei asked directly: "Are you scared?" Lin Chenran was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and replied: "I'm scared! Every time you call, our 077 Mechanical Military Factory bleeds a lot." He was telling the truth. Every time he communicated with Mr. Wei, it brought some pressure and responsibility. "You kid!" Old Wei cursed with a smile. "I'm not asking you for money this time, don't worry!" said Mr. Wei with a smile. Lin Chenran breathed a sigh of relief, with a faint smile on his face: "That's good, Mr. Wei, please don't scare me again." "Every time I receive a call from you, I am terrified!" After hearing this, Mr. Wei on the other end of the phone couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You little bastard, you really don't know how lucky you are. I called you, I don't know how many people envy me, and you dare to despise me!" The two chatted for a while and then got straight to the point. "Lin, the Air Force is quite interested in the Dragon Shadow fighter designed and developed by your 077 Mechanical Military Factory." Mr. Wei said with a smile. "No way?" "Will the Air Force be interested in the Dragon Shadow fighter?"
"That's a second-generation and a half fighter. The Air Force has already started to equip itself with the third-generation fighter, the J-10 fighter. How could it be interested in the Dragon Shadow fighter? You must be lying to me!" Lin Chenran's face was full of suspicion and disbelief. He really found it hard to believe that the Yan State military would be interested in the Dragon Shadow fighter. They are preparing to have more advanced third-generation fighter jets, so why should they pay attention to a relatively backward second-generation and a half fighter jet? "You think I would lie to you?" Mr. Wei asked directly in a serious tone. Lin Chenran quickly smiled and said, "How could that be?" He muttered to himself, this old guy is really hard to deal with! "I just don't understand why the military would be interested in the Dragon Shadow fighter jets from our 077 Mechanical Arsenal?" Lin Chenran asked puzzledly. Mr. Wei looked calm and gave a direct answer: "It is cheap and has superior performance. In some aspects, it is comparable to or even exceeds the J-10 fighter. It can be used in conjunction with the J-10 fighter." Lin Chenran smiled bitterly after hearing this: "I think you are wrong. The Dragon Shadow fighter is most attractive to your military for only one reason, and that is 'cheap'." He knew very well that if it weren't for its low price, the military probably wouldn't be so interested in this fighter. If there are third-generation fighter jets, we must use third-generation fighter jets! The current Yan Country Air Force cannot replace all of its fighters with third-generation fighters at once, so... The J-7 fighter jets and other old fighter jets in the hands of the Yan State military are simply unable to meet various combat needs. Now, the Dragon Shadow fighter designed by the 077 Mechanical Military Factory has been noticed by the military leaders of Yan State! The price is cheaper than the J-10 fighter. In some aspects, it is better than the J-10 fighter. This will be very attractive to the military leaders of Yan State! It turns out that cheap goods can also be good. "Military spending has always restricted the development of our military." "Our military also wants to directly replace the old 7th generation fighter jets with third generation fighter jets, but our wallets don't allow it!" Mr. Wei spoke of the difficulties faced by the Yan State military. It’s really difficult! Within the limited military budget, develop the army and improve its combat effectiveness. The second update has been reviewed and should be released soon! (End of this chapter)
