Prince Salman, of course, knows that the tnb-2e UAV production line is almost the same as the bottomless pit.
Not only is the price of finished products more expensive than those originated in China, but also the maintenance cost of the production line is ridiculously high.
This is also a matter of no choice. Otherwise, what will you do if the things you produce impact the original products? Didn't the original factory lift a stone and hit itself in the foot?
Therefore, let alone the aviation product production line, it is the same truth that other industrial product production lines are sold to you, but the core lifeline must be held in the hands of the original factory, otherwise your side will jump back, which will make the original factory very embarrassed.
For example, Russia did this when transferring the Su-27 production line. The low price is the low price, but the aeroengines and high-end raw materials are firmly controlled by the Russians. For this reason, the Russians are not at ease. It is clear in the contract that the domestic Su-27 can only be used at home and is prohibited from exporting abroad.
China's take-off is not as red as the Russians, but it is very careful in terms of cost.
Needless to say, if Saudi Arabia produces a tnb-2e UAV, the cost of light tools will reach US $40 million. Plus other costs such as materials, the cost of a single aircraft will exceed US $120 million.
The international price of tnb-2e UAV produced by China's take-off is only $55 million, more than double the difference between the two.
This is why even if many countries are ambitious to develop industry, they are stunned in the end. The production line can give you low prices, but the prices of energy, materials and key parts run by the production line are higher and higher, resulting in the high cost of the final product, which is difficult to form market competitiveness.
If you are not skilled in the application of superposition production line, there is a high scrap rate and unstable quality, it will aggravate the decline of your own competitiveness.
In the end, it will be defeated by foreign industrial products with higher cost performance, and finally spend money to make it lonely.
Unless the country can master all the core elements of the whole industrial chain, it may reduce costs through self-research or core technology exchange.
The problem is that the time required is not a star and a half. If you want to make it, you need not only a country's medium and long-term planning, but also perseverance.
These two alone have kept many countries out of the threshold of industrialization.
This includes Saudi Arabia.
Prince Salman is not stupid. Can he not understand the logic chain?
Of course.
But knowing is one thing, and whether to do it or not is another.
After all, Prince Salman's participation is not a simple economic problem, but a complex political problem. Frankly, he and his old father need an aviation product production line as a political achievement to show to the people in Saudi Arabia.
Only in this way will the people in Saudi Arabia, especially those aristocrats who live in dignity, know that their father and son are really thinking about the future of Saudi Arabia.
Otherwise, why use your Salman and son for oil field exploitation and natural gas exploration that everyone can do?
Any dog and cat can be king. Anyone who puts a chopstick in the vast desert of Saudi Arabia can show oil.
Therefore, if you want to do it, you need to make a big and different one, which can't be bought anywhere in developed countries. In this way, you can shock those princes and nobles, let them thoroughly see the ability and spirit of Salman and son through this aviation product production line, and finally submit to their father and son.
Compared with a country, what is a mere 180 billion UAV production line?
So when you sign this list, you sign it. What's the big deal? Anyway, Saudi Arabia is not short of this money!
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Zhuang Jianye is naturally happy to see its success, not to mention holding this super good order. When he returns to China, he can also accelerate the integration process of the domestic aviation industry as planned.
After all, what the domestic aviation manufacturing industry lacks is such a rich order.
It can be imagined that once they go back and split the big orders in their hands to relevant cooperative factories, these factories will do whatever they want. What is this? It's a community of interests!
Therefore, such a single village construction industry is afraid of less, not more.
Because of this, I had just finalized the details of signing the contract with Prince Salman, and on the other side, I sent someone to disclose the news to Prince ATZ and Mansur.
Their reaction did not surprise Zhuang Jianye. Unexpectedly, Salman shook hands with Zhuang Jianye and reached a final transaction agreement.
However, surprise returned to surprise, but their reactions were different.
Prince ATZ, because he had a word in advance, did it step by step according to the contract and market price. There was no need to worry about whether there was something fishy in it.
But Mansour is different. He introduced the UAV production line. He was supposed to beat Prince Salman in the face. Now he's fine. He didn't say anything in the face and was beaten back.
This made Mansour very angry. However, he immediately said that the cost of upgrading the current tnb-2b to tnb-2e did not need to be paid after Zhuang Jianye completed the construction. He paid according to the ATZ method and the prevailing market principle.
Zhuang Jianye's reply to this was only one sentence: "it's no problem to upgrade the tnb-2e UAV production line, but we must follow the example of Saudi Arabia and pay US $5 billion first, otherwise China's take-off will not be accepted. The reason is that the UAE let go of China's take-off pigeons on the introduction of production lines in the early years. This time, we don't give money in advance, or we can only use tnb-2b."
Mansoor was so angry that he almost broke his luxurious palace because the meaning of this was obvious. Even if he had to deliver the TNB 2B production line in advance, and then pay the cost, it would not be Mansoor has the final say, but the sentence of the man Zhuang Jian Ye.
In other words, it's their duty to build it. If they don't build it, what can you do for Mansour?
Not giving money is like fishing for food? First ask if there is a free lunch in the world!
It has the final say that a whoop and a holler will not be able to build the Mansoor line, because Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are sure to publicize their own advanced drone production lines at home and regard them as relying on oil and gas industries.
Let alone for a while, it has caused huge waves in the Gulf region. Apart from Qatar, another rich country in the Gulf region, it has been unable to sit still and began to contact several major aviation manufacturers in Europe, America, Russia and China in private to see if there is an opportunity to introduce an aviation product production line.
Once this matter is implemented, the UAE will be in a very embarrassing situation.
Why don't you have something that other Gulf countries have?
It's like a large family of relatives. Every family is a Mercedes Benz and BMW. How can you ride an electric bicycle in your family?
Is it not enough money, or is life not good?
Baozhun will be discussed and pointed behind by other relatives
So Mansour wants to learn from Salman and make a Soha on the UAV production line. The problem is that he can't even think about it now, because the stock of Lehman Brothers, which is heavily held by the Royal foundation under his leadership, collapsed directly
