Taylor said with a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Changheng did not immediately refuse.

"We have signed contracts with desert local tyrants for the 747 and 707 orders and received advance payment.

Therefore, while the company owners thank you, they also recognize your judgment on the international situation and future structure.

Let me come, I hope you and I will go to Grumman to see the first flight of F14, and then make comments.

As for remuneration. "

Taylor thought for a while before continuing, "How about we help you buy a stake in Groman?"

"Not interested in."

Li Changheng refused without thinking.

The F14 was definitely a good plane in the 70s, but Grumman's management was definitely a group of stupid idiots.

Because this group of guys will accept a fixed price to produce the aircraft without thinking in order to get the order.

It can be said that as long as next year, that is, August 1971, when the U.S. dollar is decoupled from gold, the depreciation of the U.S. dollar will result in a loss of more than 20% for every F14 produced by Grumman.

The lack of money is also the main reason for the slow update and upgrade of F14.

In addition, the F14 is more than 30 million US dollars more expensive than the F15, which is known as the most expensive land-based fighter a few years later.

It means that the air combat capability is not as good as the F15, but the price is almost twice that of the 35 million U.S. dollar F15.

Of course, the F15 was developed five years later than the F14, and it can't be compared to the F15 in air combat.

However, the maintenance and repair of the variable wing is not only cumbersome, but also takes a long time.

In addition, the aircraft is heavy, the fuselage is large, and the ammunition capacity is only 6 air-to-air missiles, each priced at 1 million U.S. dollars.

After 98% of the equipment of the whole plane can self-check, and the F18 that can be used for ground, air, and sea is released, the F14 immediately becomes the fate of only being used as an interceptor.

Expensive, troublesome to maintain, and slow to update and upgrade avionics, weapons, and radar systems.

The ground and sea attack capabilities are extremely poor and cannot meet the requirements of joint operations.

In addition, the polar bears are getting weaker and weaker. The polar bear long-range strategic bomber, the main opponent and target of F14, has difficulty in even normal lift-off, and even the polar bears are gone.

The F14, a carrier-based aircraft with extremely strong air combat capability, will of course be eliminated.

Perhaps the most critical point is that 79 F14s have been exported to Persians.

In 1979, there was a coup in Persia, and even an F14 defected directly to the red polar bear.

In other words, no matter how advanced this fighter is, it is destined to withdraw from mainstream models.

Therefore, not only did Li Changheng have no interest at all about Taylor's stake in Grumman, but he felt that he and the three U.S. Navy men came to him.

If this is really a stake, the future will definitely be the most failed investment in his life.

However, because of the relationship with General Raven Bernard at the Virginia Naval Base, he is not easy to speak directly.

Perhaps the U.S. Navy at this time was ecstatically excited by various F14 data.

No, Li Changheng reacted instantly.

Maybe the contract was not signed this year.

It was already signed last year or the year before.

At this time, Grumman’s people should have predicted the pressure of the depreciation of the U.S. dollar, and only then were they looking for a gold master, and they must also be a gold master who has a deep relationship with the U.S. Navy.

Only the sudden emergence of my own power of mind will get the opportunity to become a shareholder of Grumman.

It will certainly not be a shareholding, but this does not prevent him from going to see the F14 lift off, and it does not prevent him from seeing the classic fighter by many people.

Three days later, Li Changheng and Jim appeared at a test airport in Virginia.

As soon as I walked to the observation platform, I saw General LaVine Benazhong and several Rear Admirals who are also franchisees of the Panda Restaurant, surrounded by a group of people, wondering what they were arguing with.

Li Changheng has more things right away, not as good as thinking about less things.

Of course, since he is here today, he is ready to be lobbyed.

At this time, I want to avoid it because I don't want to be seen by too many people, and I don't want to participate in foolishly when I don't know what Bena Trong is arguing with.

But as soon as he wanted to take Jim away, he was yelled at before he walked down the stairs.

When I turned around, I saw Tyler taking a middle-aged man, walking towards him quickly.

"Henry, do us a favor. I guarantee that President Brett will give you a satisfactory return."

Li Changheng looked at Brett with contempt in his heart, but nodded to the middle-aged man who must be President Grumman with a smile on his face.

Just listen to the other party anxiously say, "Beina Zhong will not agree to re-negotiate..."

Hearing this, Li Changheng refused to wait for the other party to finish speaking, "Sorry, I just watched the test flight, and do you really think I, the person who runs the restaurant, can really affect the U.S. Navy?"

Taylor and Brett's faces were hard to look at immediately.

Although what Li Changheng said was the truth, the idea of ​​their two fights was to lobby all high-level and influential people in the US Navy.

Everyone helps Grumman speak together, and the probability of success is always better than Grumman's own complaints.

And this method is actually Boeing, and other military companies have tried repeatedly.

Since they are experienced in lobbying, of course this group of people have encountered various people and situations.

And for Brett, even if Li Changheng refused, it is impossible for Grumman to stop lobbying.

Because that is making money with money, and even worse, it will cause the company to go bankrupt.

Winking at Taylor, Taylor frowned and thought for a few seconds.

He whispered, "As long as you help us this time, I promise that we will lobby the navy stationed in the island country when necessary, and help you when necessary.

Even if you need it, you can advance or postpone the annual small-scale, permanent joint exercises by a few days, or reduce the number of islanders. "

FKU.

Li Changheng's heart suddenly became ecstatic.

Taylor's meaning is obvious. He and Boeing already know that Intel is producing electronic calculators.

I also know that Intel’s opponents are companies in island countries.

If this is a lawsuit against an island country’s company, the Americans stationed in the island country suddenly do not want a certain arm of the island country to participate, or reduce their participation, what do you think the island country would think?

"you sure?"

Li Changheng smiled and patted Taylor on the shoulder~lightnovelpub.net~ The price of lying to me is very high. "

Taylor looked at Brett immediately.

This matter is just a broker responsible for pulling the relationship, and of course Grumman is the one who contributes.

He didn't expect Brett to worry at all, and even smiled without any pressure. "Henry, a lot of things are as difficult as impossible for a layman to do, but for people with many friends, it is actually very simple. ."

"OK".

Li Changheng smiled and nodded, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to hold Breton together.

Then smiled and said, "I can't decide the decision of the US Navy, but if I were you.

It took some price and favor to urge some of the younger brothers of the red polar bear to drive MiG 23, MiG 25 in Persia, or stroll around the borders of countries such as cesium columns. "

"good idea".

Breton and Taylor's eyes lit up instantly.
