Yes, it's because Zhuang Jianye has played a new way. Instead of forcing himself to build helicopters, he has found cooperation with CIDU helicopter Co., Ltd., which makes the head of the headquarters feel angry.
It's not that the head of the headquarters opposes Zhuang Jianye's practice. On the contrary, as long as the equipment of the troops can be upgraded to the world's advanced level, let alone cooperation, or merger, the head of the headquarters will support it with both hands and feet.
The problem is that you Tengfei group and CIDU helicopter Co., Ltd. cooperate. Technically, one plus one is greater than two. Shouldn't the price be one minus one less than zero?
As a result, the unit price of kehaozhi-8plus heavy helicopter soared to 180 million yuan.
How much was it when the Su-27 fighter was introduced? But more than 100 million yuan, it is the third generation of heavy air fighter. As a result, a helicopter is 80% more expensive than the third generation of heavy fighter.
At that time, when the head of the headquarters saw the offer of the zhi-8plus heavy helicopter, his eyes were straight. He didn't believe that the figures in front of him were true. Shouldn't the cost of domestic equipment be lower? Why is the straight-8plus heavy helicopter so high? 180 million yuan. Is the cooperation between Tengfei group and CIDU helicopter Co., Ltd. in R & D, or is it a joint venture to grab money?
However, to his dismay, the army air force, airborne air force, Marine Corps and shipborne helicopter troops, which are even more expensive than the Su-27 fighter, are all shouting "I want it, I want it, I want it.".
It's like an old father who has worked hard to support his family. In the face of a son who is desperate to buy a Lamborghini despite his family circumstances, he is not one, but four.
It can be imagined how the old father's mood would be. He almost pointed to several unfilial sons and scolded the animals.
I don't know the price of firewood and rice.
After the arrogance incident, the country has increased the proportion of military expenditure, and the annual increase in military expenditure has also entered a fast lane, which seems to have been improved compared with a few years ago. However, the problem is that the army has left too many debts since the reform and opening up.
Among other things, the welfare of military personnel has been maintained at a very low level for more than ten years. With the rapid economic development, we can't expect officers and soldiers to fight with their blood, can we?
Officers and soldiers are also people, who are old and young, who want to raise a wife and children. If they are not treated well, who will defend the motherland, who will defend the family, and who will defend her?
Therefore, most of the increase in military expenditure in recent years has been wiped out by the increase in personnel welfare.
The rest is the centralized construction of key arms and key equipment.
For example, the army, based on the experience of the Gulf War, suspended the construction of armored and artillery troops, and turned to fully support the formation and expansion of field air defense forces.
The reason for this is very simple. If you can't solve the problem of air defense in future wars, no matter how advanced your tanks are and how powerful your artillery firepower is, you will be the living target of enemy air forces, and you can kill as many people as you have.
Because of this, even if the other branches of the army reach the world's leading level, it will be useless before solving the field air defense capability.
But the problem is that the high cost of field air defense system is not generally high.
Generally, the construction cost of an ordinary field air defense missile battalion is three to five times that of an ordinary mechanized infantry battalion.
As a result, the vast majority of the army's annual construction funds are completely consumed by the field air defense system, including the air force, navy and second artillery. In addition to the "killer mace" plan listed separately in the plan, after all, the funds in the hands of the chief are still insufficient.
Where can we help the army, navy and air force to purchase 180 million yuan of a Zhi-8 plus heavy helicopter?
Of course, the army aviation force, airborne force, Marine Corps and shipborne helicopter force are aware of the difficulties of the head of the headquarters, but they can't afford the zhi-8plus heavy helicopter. It's too good.
With the direct-8 plus heavy helicopter, the land and air force can make up for the biggest weakness of the air assault force.
With the direct-8plus heavy helicopter, airborne soldiers can have more flexible attack capabilities.
With the direct-8 plus heavy helicopter, vertical landing is no longer a theory.
With the development of the zhi-8plus heavy helicopter, the shipborne helicopter force has a more reliable reliance on both sea antisubmarine and sea rescue.
All in all, heavy helicopters are so useful that all the troops want to make money.
As a result, the application documents were all piled up on the desk of the head of the headquarters. Lin Lin Lin finally figured out that the sea, land and air force plus the Second Artillery needed a total of 287 direct-8 plus heavy helicopters.
This is because the head of the headquarters has constantly stressed the need to declare according to the minimum requirements of the troops, otherwise the total number of Zhi-8 plus heavy helicopters declared will exceed 400.
Even 287 are not a small number. According to the unit price of 180 million yuan, it will cost 51.66 billion yuan.Looking at this figure, the head of the headquarters had a toothache. Then he took the application form of each army and found Zhuang Jianye, the chairman and CEO of Tengfei group, and Wang Wenyao, the general manager of CIDU helicopter Co., Ltd. thinking about how the army could get a lower price for such a large number of orders.
Not to mention a 50% discount, at least it should be 20 or 30 million yuan cheaper, right?
As a result, after a fierce bargaining, the head of the headquarters only got a discount of 2 million yuan for each plane, and the final transaction price was fixed at 178 million yuan.
When talking about it with a face, the psychological price was 20 million or 30 million yuan, but only 2 million yuan. The head of the headquarters really couldn't hang on, so he was angry at that time.
Zhuang Jianye and Wang Wenyao have no choice. It's not that they don't want to reduce the price. The problem is that the cost of the Zhi-8 plus heavy helicopter has already reached 154 million yuan. Plus the other expenses of 7788, the price of 178 million yuan doesn't make much money.
So Zhuang Jianye and Wang Wenyao quickly took out the detailed cost list of the zhi-8plus heavy helicopter. When the head of the headquarters looked at it, even if they were still angry, they had nothing to say.
The cost of the zhi-8plus heavy helicopter is really frightening. After all, the heavy helicopter is different from other aircrafts. Its materials, engines and flight control system are very special, and it can not be applied to other models, so the R & D cost is extremely high.
This is also a common phenomenon of heavy helicopter in the world.
The unit price of CH-47 "chinugan" heavy helicopter in the United States is 38 million US dollars, and the bigger ch-53h "super stallion" is a sky high price of 100 million US dollars.
The Russian Mi-26 heavy helicopter is cheaper than the American one, but the unit price is also US $30 million, which is also RMB 210 million at the middle exchange rate of 7.
In contrast, the unit price of RMB 178 million for the Zhi-8 plus heavy helicopter is not high. However, I don't know why, when the head of the headquarters looks at Zhuang Jianye's flattering but cunning smile, he feels that he has been cheated by this guy, so that he still has this gas in his heart and can't get rid of it.
