Chapter 353

Not to mention that Liszt's head is a little swollen. Even Linderman, who came back from a walk by the sea, felt a little headache. The Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Italy suspended the purchase of H company's discovery-2 UAV at the same time, and resumed the bidding of relevant equipment around the world.

The Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark, the three low-lying countries, will not add up to a share of US $100 million. If Italy stops purchasing, it will be a bit fatal. You should know that this country alone has a large order of nearly US $300 million, accounting for 30% of the whole European market. H company will keep it anyway.

What's more, the sudden exposure of this kind of thing near the delivery is very unusual in itself. There are many twists and turns in it. So Linderman closed his eyes and thought about it for more than ten minutes, then picked up the phone and made several calls in a row.

Soon I got the general information from an American diplomat. After H company swept half of Europe and won more than one billion US dollars in UAV orders, it immediately aroused the concerns of France and Germany, the two core European countries.

Both of them are millennial old foxes. The US aviation giants are preparing to break into Europe with UAVs as a nail, thus overturning the entire aviation manufacturing industry. France and Germany see it very clearly.

If it's in other industries, it won't matter. Anyway, the United States is the leader. If you don't have the strength, you can win it if you want.

The problem is that Europe is now seizing excessive profits in the aviation industry. Not to mention anything else, the European airbus company, which was established not long ago, has made tens of billions of dollars in annual profits from passenger aircraft. It has become a pillar industry of European countries, especially France and Germany, which are the core countries of the European community.

That's all. What's more, through the integration of the aviation industry, we can strengthen not only the competitiveness of the industry, but also the political integration within Europe.

In other words, the highly closed-loop aviation industry has greatly promoted the historical process of Europe from decentralized cooperation to highly unified, which has great political significance.

With both external economic interests and internal political significance, European aviation industry will inevitably become the bottom line of European countries, especially France and Germany.

That is to say, the United States can be horizontal in other aspects, but if we touch this line, I'm sorry, even if we are a family, we have to be clear with our brothers.

Now, the American aviation giants not only meet with the opportunity of supporting H company, but also plan to step on it with their feet. Naturally, France and Germany are just like cats stepping on their tails, so they have to resist.

So they took advantage of their influence in the European Communist Party to do what Europeans like most, that is, to set the so-called European standards.

Then use a set of European standards. Ah ~ ~ H company's discovery - 2 several indicators do not meet the conditions of Europe. Forget it, go back and change them, and come back to bid after they are changed.

It seems very humanized. After all, people can write it clearly in black and white. Just do it according to the requirements. The problem is that when you change it back, other European airlines will take out their own products and bid again. Europe will naturally choose its own products.

If you want to protest, people will say, "it's not that I don't want your products. As you can see, XX company's products are more in line with European usage habits, so I'm sorry. I hope we can have a good cooperation next time."

Europeans used similar methods to pit many people, including the big brother of the United States. At that time, when Airbus was just established, Europeans did this in order to sell A-Series airliners. As a result, the market share of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas airliners in Europe dropped sharply, but A-Series airliners gradually increased, and finally firmly stood in the huge shipping market of Europe.

Now that Europe is doing this again, it's obviously a repeat of the old trick, delaying time. The problem is that Boeing and McDonnell had a bad move in those days. Can H company, which is full of historical experience, be trapped again by Europeans?

So that night, Linderman spent most of the night on the phone talking about Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, general motors, Northrop, Lockheed and other giants involved in the aviation industry, and then exchanged views with the heads of the New York Times, the Washington Post, radio America, voice of America and other media.

Then he let Liszt fly back to New York overnight, and then transfer to Europe.

Linderman believes that H company, which has used huge resources, will never let history repeat itself. Europeans want to delay time. The Chernobyl nuclear accident in the Soviet Union does not care about this. All the time, the nuclear leakage is aggravating the nuclear pollution in Eurasia.

At other times, H company has no way to deal with the Europeans who have played hooligans for two hundred years. But now, with the help of Chernobyl, it's hard to say who plays hooligans.

As a matter of fact, when Liszt returned to New York and got off the plane from Rome International Airport, he heard the voice of the voice of America announcer from the mini radio he carried. When he got out of the airport, Liszt, who knew Italian well, bought a local newspaper and soon found the news about "eight thousand meters up" on the prominent page "Floating objects in the sky.".

Liszt could not help but smile, and his heart was immediately filled with confidence. He could even imagine in his mind that Italian purchasing officials were driven crazy by the pressure of public opinion.Soon, the car drove into an Italian Air Force base, where Italy is responsible for testing UAVs, and also the destination of Liszt's trip to Italy. After putting away the newspaper, the car stopped in front of a three story office building. Major general savarino, who is responsible for purchasing, stood at the gate of the office building to welcome Liszt.

After a friendly handshake, Liszt asked, "general, have you read today's newspaper?"

"Of course, not only the newspaper, but also the original text of" floating objects on eight thousand meters "I have read twice Savarino and Liszt walked into the office building side by side, and they were very serious.

Liszt laughed: "how do you feel?"

"With all due respect, after reading this article, we have no way to purchase your products." Savarino is outspoken.

"Why?"

Savarino shrugged: "because your UAV can't fly eight thousand meters."
