Balotov was stunned to hear the figure of $3 billion.
How much is a 40000 ton amphibious assault ship? At today's price, that's $500 million, and with carrier based aircraft, it's $1 billion.
But the zbdl-1916 automatic sheet metal forming production line will cost US $3 billion.
No matter how expensive the internal data is, it's not as expensive as this. It's almost enough to purchase three amphibious attack ships equipped with carrier based aircraft.
Balotov could not accept such a high price.
But when balotov was thinking about how to decline the zbdl-1916 automatic sheet metal forming production line, the secretary who accompanied him suddenly secretly handed him a small note, and then whispered in his ear: "it was just given by a staff member of China's take-off."
Balotov was stunned for a moment. He immediately opened the note and glanced at it. The face that had been restored to be unshakable again set off waves. He immediately held the note in his palm and looked at Zhuang Jianye again: "Zhuang Jianye, are you sure that the $3 billion contains all the metal material data you promised?"
When he said this, balotov subconsciously raised his fist and clenched the note. It was obvious that he needed a reply from Zhuang Jianye himself.
Zhuang Jianye, of course, knew balotov's meaning and nodded without hesitation: "China's take-off has always been a matter of words, saying that a package of solutions can be achieved with us $3 billion, that is US $3 billion, without any extra money."
Balotov immediately nodded his head without hesitation: "although $3 billion is a little expensive, Russia can't accept it. It's just a specific problem..."
Balotov said, eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at mishushenko and Yanayev, it is obvious that these two have been a bit of an eyesore here.
Seeing this, Zhuang Jianye couldn't help laughing. He turned and looked at mishushenko and Yanayev: "I'm sorry, two of you. Colonel balotov and I are going to have a closed door negotiation on zbdl-1916 automatic sheet metal forming production line. Next, other responsible persons will lead us to continue to visit."
After that, without waiting for mishushenko and Yanayev to answer, they reached out and motioned for balotov. Then they left the sheet metal forming workshop with a quick step.
It was not until Zhuang Jianye and balotov disappeared that mishushenko and Yanayev reacted. They immediately looked at each other and saw something called inconceivable in each other's eyes.
"Is balotov crazy? Three billion dollars, just one production line... "Yanayev's voice trembled.
Mishushenko nodded: "yes, he's really crazy. I can guarantee that he will be punished when he returns to Russia. The decision-making level of Russia will never agree to $3 billion."
"No matter whether Russia agrees or not, let's not look at the manufacturing equipment. It has nothing to do with us. Let's go and see the finished products." Yanayev shook his head and obviously didn't want to talk about it.
Mishushenko did the same, so they gave their suggestions to the person in charge of China take off who stayed with them. Soon, mishushenko and Yanayev left the sheet metal forming workshop and went to the product exhibition hall.
Needless to say that mishushenko and Yanayev visited the finished products all the way, they only talked about balotov who followed Zhuang Jianye into a small office building next to the sheet metal forming workshop, holding the note tightly.
As if as long as you release your hand, your favorite baby will disappear.
It lasted for five or six minutes until several people sat down in a reception room temporarily served by the rest room. Balotov relaxed his fist and clenched his note. Then he put aside all the politeness and greetings and rushed to the theme: "Mr. Zhuang, Are you sure that zbdl-1916 automatic sheet metal forming line can be used for precision sheet metal forming of Ti Ni alloy
"It's not just Ti Ni Alloys!" Zhuang Jianye slowly unscrewed the thermos cup, drank a mouthful of wolfberry rose tea, then cocked his legs and said: "there are Ti Ni NB alloys. After all, these alloys contain titanium, which belongs to titanium alloys in a broad sense. Since I said that I would sell the processing data of titanium alloys, it will naturally contain the processing data of these two alloys!"
After that, Zhuang Jianye put his thermos cup on the small tea table beside him, and then asked, "in that case, Mr. balotov, do you still think our zbdl-1916 automatic sheet metal forming production line costs US $3 billion..."
"No, Mr. Zhuang, your offer is not expensive at all. It's very fair." Balotov said sincerely.
Thanks to mishushenko and Yanayev, they didn't come here. Otherwise, when they see balotov's face, which I want, I want, how much money I want, their eyes will definitely jump out of their eyes.Three billion dollars. Two sheet metal forming equipment and eight heavy-duty robots were purchased. They broke up and crumpled up. No 40000 ton amphibious attack ship came, but they were able to match the price of three amphibious attack ships. Balotov said it was not expensive.
Is the world too crazy, or is balotov's head scratched by the arm of the plane, and the whole person is amused?
However, the world is not crazy, and balotov's head is not funny. On the contrary, balotov is very smart. After getting the note from Zhuang Jianye, he quickly calculates that this business is not only successful, but also his income as a middleman is amazing, It is conservatively estimated that the Commission and commission of a set of zbdl-1916 automatic sheet metal forming production line will be at least US $800 million.
If the operation is good, a billion dollars is not impossible.
Because balotov, who is familiar with the current situation of Russian military manufacturing industry, knows that if the responsible persons and manufacturers of relevant industries in China know that zbdl-1916 automatic sheet metal forming production line can process Ti Ni alloy and Ti Ni Nb alloy, they will be more excited and crazy than ever.
The reason is very simple. Although Ti Ni alloy and Ti Ni Nb alloy are broadly classified as titanium alloys, they are not titanium alloys in the traditional sense, but are separately listed as a new category, that is, shape memory alloys which have just emerged in the aerospace field in recent years.
This kind of new metal material, which can stretch and stretch at a certain temperature, just like being able to remember its own shape, has become a favorite in the aerospace industry.
I can't help it. It's the shape memory alloy that you abuse him thousands of times and he still loves you like the first time. It's really in line with the characteristics of the aerospace field.
Especially in the upgrading and improvement of the third generation combat aircraft and the development of the next generation fighter, a large number of applications of shape memory alloy are involved.
However, the processing of shape memory alloy is very difficult. Up to now, only the United States has mastered a full set of processing technology of shape memory alloy and listed it in the list of prohibited exports, blocking the whole world.
It can be said that it's a super technology that money can't buy.
As a result, with such super technology, China's soaring zbdl-1916 automatic sheet metal forming production line has a certain processing capacity. For Russia, which is in urgent need of such equipment for subsequent improvement of the Su-27 series and research and development of the next generation of combat aircraft, it is undoubtedly a long-time rain, let alone 3 billion US dollars, even if we add another 3 billion US dollars, Russians are not expected to frown, directly into the arms
