Chapter 195: A rare chance to hit the Yan country military's "bamboo stick" After hearing this, Ma Fengshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had made the right choice and came to the 077 Mechanical Military Factory. Originally, he had already discussed it with his design and development team. If they cannot get satisfactory results here, they will go to Chengfei Military Industrial Enterprise and Shenfei Military Factory. To their surprise, the 077 Machinery Military Factory met all the requirements of the Y-10 aircraft design and development team without hesitation, and promised to increase resource investment. More importantly, they also agreed to launch Yan's first airborne early warning aircraft project based on the Y-10 aircraft. "Please rest assured, we at the 077 Mechanical Arsenal are very reasonable. As long as everyone can complete the task within the roughly stipulated time, no matter what happens in the middle, we will not interfere too much." Lin Chenran's words warmed the hearts of everyone in the Y-10 aircraft design and development team in the conference room like a spring breeze. They feel respected and trusted, which further stimulates their work enthusiasm and creativity. "Thanks to General Manager Lin and all the colleagues at the 077 Machinery Arsenal for their help. Our Y-10 aircraft design and development team will work hard to develop and manufacture a more powerful large aircraft to give back to everyone."
Ma Fengshan said this excitedly. "Boss Ma, I'll ask Mr. Song to arrange accommodation for you first, as well as the site for your Yun-10 aircraft project in the future." "I need to ask the Yan country's military to bring you over from your original research institute." Lin Chenran made arrangements right away. "grateful!" Ma Fengshan expressed his gratitude repeatedly. …… Lin Chenran left the meeting room and returned to the office. Then Lin Chenran picked up the phone on the desk and called Wei Lao, the head of the military equipment department of Yan State. "Dudududu!" After a while, the phone was connected and a generous voice was heard. "Lin boy, why are you calling me?" Mr. Wei became puzzled. He knew Lin Chenran well, and he knew that the other party was the kind of person who would never come to visit someone unless there was something important to do. If someone calls me at this time, there must be something wrong. "Ahaha? Mr. Wei, you are really a forgetful person! You actually acted without authorization and directly pushed the Y-10 aircraft project to our 077 Mechanical Military Factory." Lin Chenran said deliberately with some dissatisfaction. Then he continued, "He also asked Mr. Ma to come directly to our 077 Machinery Military Factory, leaving me no chance to refuse." Lin Chenran couldn't help but feel amused when he saw Mr. Wei "acting crazy and stupid" there, but he still couldn't help but mock him in a sarcastic tone. "Kid, nothing can be hidden from you." When Mr. Wei heard Lin Chenran's words, an awkward smile appeared on his face, then he shook his head helplessly.
In fact, the Yan country military does not want to see the Y-10 aircraft project cancelled. Like Lin Chenran, they hope to build Yan country's own airborne early warning aircraft based on the Y-10 aircraft. Because Yan State has almost no experience in this field, and with the development of modern air combat, the importance of airborne early warning aircraft has become increasingly prominent. For the Yan State Air Force, having its own airborne early warning aircraft has become a top priority. As a result, the Yan State military thought of the scapegoat - the 077 Mechanical Military Factory. They are rich and have a certain aviation foundation. "Mr. Wei, if you want an airborne early warning aircraft, just tell me directly. Am I someone who is difficult to approach?" Lin Chenran said this in a disrespectful manner. "Blame me!" Mr. Wei quickly admitted his mistake. "Didn't the Yan State government cooperate with McDonnell Douglas? Didn't they sign a contract for them to help us manufacture airborne early warning aircraft?" Lin Chenran looked down on the idea that "buying is better than research and development". Some technologies cannot be bought with money. "You should have learned from Ma Fengshan that the cooperation with McDonnell Douglas was a trap. They only wanted us to be an assembly plant, and they didn't give us access to the core technology at all." When this was mentioned, Mr. Wei became furious. He also felt that some decisions made by leaders were problematic, as the company's own Y-10 aircraft would not be delivered until half a year to a year later. As a result, they also cooperated with McDonnell Douglas, a US company. If you can cooperate, then cooperate. It would be great if you can get real technology, but what about the result? McDonnell Douglas just wanted to make Yan Country their assembly plant and "ruin" Yan Country's large aircraft project. There is no intention to cooperate at all! The American military may be behind this. However, after signing the contract, the Yan State could only hold its nose and bear it. "Mr. Wei, your military can also find Chengfei Military Industrial Enterprise and Shenfei Military Factory!" "They are also very willing to accept this kind of large aircraft." Lin Chenran spoke slowly, giving advice to the Yan State military. But Elder Wei directly asked, "If we give it to Shen Fei and Cheng Fei, will they take it seriously?" "Their R&D funds are also very tight, especially Chengfei, which has invested a lot of money, resources and engineers into the J-10 fighter project. It also has resources to invest in the Y-10 large aircraft project!" "The same is true for Shenfei Military Factory!" Lin Chenran just gave up: "Then you can't just return it to our 077 Mechanical Military Factory, unless..." Upon hearing this, Mr. Wei's brows relaxed. He knew that Lin Chenran wanted to negotiate terms with him. "Our 077 Machinery Military Factory can accept the design and development team of the Y-10 aircraft, but when we develop the airborne early warning aircraft in the future, the Yan country military must have financial investment." "As you know, our 077 Mechanical Military Factory has multiple projects under development at the same time, and funds are a bit tight right now."
Lin Chenran’s idea: It’s no problem to develop an airborne early warning aircraft for the Yan country’s military, but it requires research and development funding. Want to get it for free? Dream on! ! ! "Forehead?" "Lin boy, you also know..." Mr. Wei was just trying to get away with it. Lin Chenran didn't care and interrupted him directly: "Mr. Wei, if the military is unwilling to provide research and development funds, we will not force it, but after the airborne early warning aircraft is successfully developed, our 077 Mechanical Military Factory will export it." "This……" "How could this be?" "So the advanced airborne early warning aircraft are to be exported?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Wei roared like a cat with its fur standing on end. "Mr. Wei, you in the military can't want everything and give nothing." You want both? how can that be possible? "Mr. Wei, the R&D funds for airborne early warning aircraft are huge. If the military does not provide R&D funds, then our 077 Mechanical Military Factory can only look for R&D partners." Lin Chenran showed a resolute look. Plan AB is left to the choice of the Yan State military. At this time, Mr. Wei on the other end of the phone was thinking. After a while, he agreed. It was decided to provide a research and development fund to the 077 Mechanical Military Factory for the airborne early warning aircraft project. Hearing this, Lin Chenran's mouth corners slightly raised. This is a great victory! "Mr. Wei, if your military is willing to let us sell the AWACS, then we don't need your military's research and development funds." (End of this chapter)
