Hans didn't expect that he had a lot of German engineers with him, and before he started to maintain China's s S-70 helicopter, he didn't pass the first stage of the quality audit of raw materials and spare parts.
It is true that Leipzig's contract with China specifies a huge amount of compensation for breach of contract, but it is only to restrict the Chinese side from playing small tricks and failing to perform the contract normally. Therefore, Yodel and others set a high penalty for breach of contract when formulating the contract.
Out of the so-called principle of reciprocity, Yodel readily agreed to China's request to restrict them with huge liquidated damages.
Yodel and other senior leaders of Leipzig have no objection to this. They feel that this is just a psychological comfort for the Chinese people. They are famous for their strictness, connotation and respect for the spirit of contract. How can they break the contract?
Of course, even if we go back 10000 steps, Leipzig really wants to play a little bit of flower work. It's strange that the Chinese people's stupid brain can see it.
In addition, Leipzig thinks that its technology level can crush all the Chinese people, and all kinds of spare parts and materials are enough to blind the eyes of the Chinese people, let alone take China's so-called breach of contract terms seriously.
It's a neat sign.
As a result, when they rolled their arms and sleeves and prepared to tear off a few pieces of meat on the fat sheep of China, Gu Jingyou, a member of the Chinese judging expert group, poured down a basin of cold water.
Hans knows how to say it. To tell you the truth, Hans has made the worst plan for the so-called expert review team in China. As the Chinese saying goes, it's just to come and give him a blow.
Although Hans is a German man, he still knows this truth very well and has made corresponding countermeasures. However, Gu Jingyou is not only downplaying, but directly lifting the table as soon as he comes up, which makes Hans a little confused. He has not seen this posture in Germany and China for such a long time. What should he do?
Fortunately, Hans has been in the market for many years, but he still has some basic adaptability. After a moment, his eyes narrowed. Looking at Gu Jingyou, who was taking a group of technical experts to look at another sample of materials, he raised the piece of paper in his hand and asked, "Mr. Gu, how can you be sure that we can't produce Nomex materials in Europe?"
"Very simple. Do you have aramid factories in Europe? There may be one or two, but which one is not controlled by DuPont? It seems that there is one in Holland that is not controlled by the United States, but it seems that it was crushed by DuPont a few years ago, and finally it seems that it was acquired by an American company called 3M. "
Gu Jingyou didn't lift his head, but he cleaned up the current situation of European aramid fiber as if it were the emperor's new clothes. Hans was stunned and shocked to hear how this guy understood the situation of European aramid fiber. But before he could react from his surprise, he could see that Gu Jingyou was holding a composite material version that looked like a sandwich biscuit, using his knuckles Knock and beep:
"this board should be the so-called composite material version jointly developed by 3M and the Dutch company they acquired. What's its name?"
Gu Jingyou said, and knocked on his forehead with his other hand. With a flash of inspiration, he suddenly said, "come to think of it, it's called ARALL material. People who don't know what it is can be scared into a daze. But in my opinion, it's just taking off their pants and farting. Two aluminum alloy plates and an aramid 1414 plate. Is it interesting?
Oh, by the way, aramid 1414 is the internal name of our group's own products. The American name should be Kevlar. We transliterate it directly as Kevlar... "
When he heard the word Kevlar, Hans's pupils suddenly shrank. He looked at Gu Jingyou with incomprehensible surprise, but more often than not, he was thrown away.
However, Hans was still upset and said, "yes, you're right, Mr. Gu. The interlayer in the middle is Kevlar material, which can completely replace the S-70 base plate material when combined with two pieces of aviation aluminum alloy plates. After all, Nomex material is too expensive, so we can't completely use this kind of expensive thing, so Some of them will be replaced by ARALL materials. "
It seems that this is not enough to explain the problem. Hans added: "in Europe, many American helicopters use ARALL material as the main material for maintenance, and have achieved good results. In this respect, we have..."
"I don't care what you have. If the helicopter you repair can use reinforced hose, ropes or car tires, and they are safe, I can only say that you are really good." Before Hans finished speaking, Gu Jingyou interrupted.
Hans was stunned for a moment. He frowned at Gu Jingyou and said, "Mr. Gu, what do you mean?"
Gu Jingyou looked at Hans strangely: "don't you know that? Kevlar materials can be divided into three types. The basic type of Kevlar is used for automobile tires and general industrial hose reinforcement; the first-class kevlar-29 is used for rope or cable reinforcement and external protective film of communication cables; only the last Kevlar-49 is a professional material applied in aviation industry. "After that, Gu Jingyou looked up and down at Hans several times. Then he looked up at the so-called German aviation engineers behind Hans, who were as tall as tie Hanhan. He asked in less standard German: "you can't Don't you even know such a basic thing? "
Hans was really confused. He only knew that aramid honeycomb material could be replaced by ARALL material jointly developed by 3M company of the United States and Aerospace Laboratory of the Netherlands. He really didn't know what material to use.
It's only clear that this material is much cheaper than ordinary aramid honeycomb material and Kevlar material, which is conducive to Leipzig's cost control, so it's used for application. I thought that this kind of material could shake a group of experts who haven't seen the world before when it was brought to China, and it could also rank in the ranks of people who are tall.
I didn't expect that Gu Jingyou just looked at the ARALL material inside and outside. What's the basic type, and what's 29 or 49? Hans and others are just like ducks. Listening to ray, they can't figure out what's going on. How can Kevlar material have so many statements? How can the Dutch aerospace laboratory make it clear when purchasing ARALL materials?
"What's more, as early as 1985, a kilogram of aviation grade Kevlar-49 was only $20. If you made two pieces of aluminum and added a low-end product that was not enough for kevlar-29, you would dare to charge $200 per kilogram. I said, Mr. Hans, do you think it's too bad to give us free maintenance? Then don't sign the contract at that time. "
Without hesitation, Gu Jingyou turned his head to the person beside him and said, "this ARALL material is shoddy, and the quality is not up to standard. The German price is 20% higher than the normal market price. It is suspected of fraud, and the two phases are superimposed. The penalty can be fixed. Don't bother to calculate the small amount, and directly record US $2.5 billion."
As soon as this remark came out, Hans quit immediately. As soon as he was ready to explain, he looked at Gu Jingyou's head: "by the way, the aramid paper just now is also suspected of fraud. The short fiber is obviously the product of Japanese Imperial company. The ordinary civil materials are OK. It's like suicide to use it on the plane. If you want to cheat people, you can take the authentic Nomex materials from the United States and make a small Japanese one I don't know what these German irons think. The last one was adjusted from 800 million to 3.5 billion US dollars. Tut tut ~ ~ after seeing two materials, it soared to 6 billion US dollars.... "
Hans couldn't hear the following words. First, Gu Jingyou had gone far away. Second, he couldn't hold on any longer. After shaking his body, he was about to fall down. Fortunately, the German engineer behind helped him, but Hans didn't have time to manage himself. He said in a hoarse voice: "quick, tell Mr. Yodel, tell Mr. Yodel about the situation here..."
