Chapter 845 The eye-opening Syrians
A month later, the Syrian tour group headed by Samir Khalil quietly arrived in China.

As the saying goes, words are not proven, and seeing is believing. For Syria, even $100 million is not a negligible amount. They have to figure out whether those two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles are serious. As Zhang Qihang said, is the cost of a motorcycle assembly line really as low as Zhang Qihang said?

A series of reception procedures not in advance, when a series of Syrian government officials headed by Samir Khalil saw the various products displayed in the reception center of Huateng Industrial Group, especially the appearance of the particularly conspicuous helicopter. At that time, the eyes are straight...

"Mr. Zhang, your company can still produce helicopters?!"

Looking at the two-seater helicopter in front of him, Samir Khalil's eyes were full of disbelief—an aircraft factory that cannot make cars, isn't it a good motorcycle manufacturer?

After listening to the translator, I specially accompanied Feng Guoqing, the old secretary, and said to Samir Khalil and his party with a smile: "This aircraft is developed, produced and manufactured by our group itself. In addition to aviation instruments, everything from the engine to the deceleration All the core components are produced by ourselves.

Our aircraft has obtained the type certificate and production license from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and has delivered dozens of aircraft to customers. We are applying for FAR certification in the United States. The entire certification process is going very smoothly. It is expected to be completed in the middle of next year. You can get the airworthiness certification of FAR in the United States and officially enter the US market for sales. "

"..."

If the Syrians headed by Samir Khalil were just shocked when they saw this helicopter, then when Feng Guoqing said that their aircraft was applying for FAR certification in the United States, some people finally couldn't bear it. Stopped: "Are you still planning to sell the plane to the United States?"

For the United States, the feelings of the Syrians are very complicated. On the one hand, because of reasons we all know, the Syrians hate the Americans, but on the other hand, the Syrians have a strong relationship with the Americans. It is a kind of envy from the heart, which can be roughly classified as a mentality of "If we can be as strong as the United States, how great it would be".

As for the fact that Huateng Industrial Group was able to sell its products to the United States, the mentality of these Syrians has changed from disapproval to envy and respect—their products are not The Huateng Industrial Group, which can export products to the United States and exchange them for rice dollars, must have strong technical strength, right?
"Of course," Mr. Feng said with a smile, "otherwise, why would we develop this aircraft? You know, the United States is the largest consumer of private jets in the world..."

Speaking of this, the old man looked up and down the Syrian who spoke, and said with a smile: "Comrade, do you want to buy some too? Our helicopter is not only an excellent ultra-light helicopter, but also a Our army aviation unit has purchased a lot of excellent training helicopters, which can not only be used as daily training helicopters, but also allow pilots to conduct daily basic technical and tactical skills training at a very low cost of use.”

"Can it be used as a training helicopter?" Hearing Mr. Feng's words, the Syrians next to him were obviously moved: "Is it true?"

Mr. Feng was not surprised by the reactions of these people. He pointed to a few photos hanging on the wall behind the helicopter and explained: "Some of these photos are from when we handed over to our army aviation unit, and some are from the army. It was specially photographed and given to us during daily flight training, so that we can promote and display it.”

In other words, these photos are not confidential, but they can prove that the helicopters produced by Huateng Industrial Group were indeed adopted by the Huaxia Army Aviation Force, which can be regarded as the military's endorsement of this product of Huateng Industrial Group.

No one will doubt the authenticity of these photos, because no one dares to use this kind of thing as a fake. Seeing the photos of the heroic army fighters and pilots in the photos for daily flight training, the Syrian people are obviously moved: use This aircraft should be able to save a lot of money as the daily flight training of the Army Aviation Force, right?
It was also at this time that Mr. Feng went on to say: "Using ultra-light piston helicopters as entry-level flight training for the Army Aviation Force and for pilots' daily feel-keeping training can greatly reduce the daily training expenses of pilots, so not only our country is doing it. , In fact, the United States is also using this method.”

"Isn't it? The United States is also using this method?"

Samir Khalil's eyes widened when he heard this. He really couldn't imagine that a country as powerful as the United States would use such a simple plane for flight training.

"Of course," Mr. Feng said, "the United States has a product similar to our helicopter, called TH-55, code-named 'Osage Man'. According to the experience of the US Army, this two-seat ultra-light piston helicopter has Extremely low operating cost per flight hour, whether it is the first helicopter for entry-level pilots or as a training aircraft for pilots to maintain their daily flight status, these are all public information, and they can be found at any time .”

Samir Khalil and other Syrians believed it immediately: they even told the specific model of the helicopter equipped by the Mi Army, so why not believe it?After all, this kind of thing is just a matter of making a phone call, and no one would be stupid enough to lie about something so easy to prove.

After believing it, some Syrians among them were moved: Since the Americans are using this kind of helicopter, and the Chinese are also using this kind of helicopter, can we also use it in Syria?
Seeing the reactions of these Syrians, Mr. Feng said with a smile: "It seems that everyone is very interested in our helicopter. In this way, I will ask someone to arrange a helicopter flight show, so that everyone can understand our helicopter more intuitively. performance of the helicopter."

Samir Khalil hesitated for a moment. After knowing that the US Army Aviation Corps and the Chinese Army Aviation Corps are using this small helicopter as an introductory flight training for students, Samir Khalil was a little moved. Now listen to When Mr. Feng said this, he felt that seeing is believing is better, but at least he said politely: "Will it be too troublesome?"

Mr. Feng said straightforwardly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, our test pilots also have to undergo daily flight training."

After hesitating for a while, Samir Khalil finally nodded: "Then... it's troublesome."

Regardless of whether you buy it or not, it is always worthwhile to watch an air show.

"Hehe..." Feng Guoqing laughed twice, and said politely, "What's the trouble?"

Speaking of this, Mr. Feng pointed to the engine and gearbox in front of him, and introduced to the Syrians: "I heard that the 'Black Panther' car is selling well in your country? Our Huateng Industrial Group and The Panther Automobile Factory is a strategic partner, and their engines and gearboxes are provided by us...here, this is it..."

Samir Khalil, who participated in the ribbon-cutting event of the car sales company of Samor Zamlik, still has some impressions of the "Black Panther" car. He heard that the engine and gearbox in front of him turned out to be the "Black Panther" Regarding the engine and gearbox on the car, he widened his eyes, a little unbelievable: "This engine and gearbox are from the 'Black Panther' car?"

Mr. Feng smiled proudly: "It's not just the 'Black Panther' car, our Huateng Industrial Group is now China's largest supplier of micro-face and micro-car powertrains, including engines, gearboxes, drive shafts and rear drive. The entire power system including the bridge, now produces 30 power systems per year!"

"..."

Hearing Feng Guoqing say that they can produce 30 sets of such engines and gearboxes a year, all the Syrians were dumbfounded: Is this China?Can any company have the ability to produce hundreds of thousands of engines and gearboxes a year?
At this moment, these Mediterranean turtles who had always believed that only the United States and the former Soviet Union were the top powers in the world, finally saw the power of China.

Of course, the visit is a visit, and a group of Syrians have not forgotten what they are doing this time, so after a round of visits, the eyes of a group of Syrians finally fell on the motorcycle of Huateng Industrial Group. car products.

The complete series of motorcycle products of Huateng Industrial Group even blinded the eyes of Syrians:
The displacement of entry-level motorcycles can be 110CC. Above 110CC, Huateng Industrial Group’s motorcycles are not 125CC familiar to Syrians, but directly to 150CC, and then there are 175CC and 200CC motorcycles. The top model is a "large displacement" motorcycle equipped with a displacement of 300CC and a V-shaped twin-cylinder structure.

The above mentioned are two-wheeled motorcycles. Compared with two-wheeled motorcycles, the product structure of three-wheeled motorcycles is also complete. The engine displacement ranges from the entry-level 150CC air-cooled to 200CC air-cooled and liquid-cooled hybrid cooling. In addition, a small three-wheeled motorcycle has a reverse gear and a climbing gear, that is, a low-speed torque amplification function...

"For example, the three-wheeled motorcycle we are going to recommend to you uses a 175cc heavy-duty heavy-duty motorcycle engine. This engine is specially optimized and strengthened for heavy loads," Zhang Qihang photographed the three-wheeled motorcycle in front of him. , said to a group of Syrian people: "This three-wheeled motorcycle can easily load 2 tons of various goods on the paved road. If it is a dry non-paved road, 1.5 tons is also very easy... Mr. Ladies and gentlemen, in order to let everyone confirm the load capacity of this three-wheeled motorcycle with your own eyes, we have prepared loads for you, here..."

Looking in the direction of Zhang Qihang's finger, a pile of large bags of mineral water came into everyone's eyes.

Flatulence and then said: "These mineral waters, each bottle has a capacity of 600 milliliters, a bottle of mineral water is 600 milliliters, a pack of 24 bottles, and the total weight of a pack of mineral water is almost 15 kilograms. If our tricycle Can carry 100 bags of mineral water and drive easily, so it proves that our car can hold a load of 1.5 tons, right?"

Of course, no one objected. The Syrians, including Samir Khalil, were indeed a little curious. Can this tricycle really hold 1.5 tons of cargo?

Soon, 100 packs of mineral water were packed. Looking at the motorcycle speeding easily on the field in front of the office building, a group of Syrians felt that the load of 1.5 tons was far from the limit of this motorcycle. Maybe it's not a big problem to install another 1.5 tons...

"In addition to this motorcycle, we also specially designed a heavy-duty three-wheeled motorcycle." Pointing to another three-wheeled motorcycle next to him, Zhang Qihang continued: "Compared with this motorcycle, Of course, this larger motorcycle uses a dedicated heavy-duty motorcycle engine with a larger displacement. It can load 2 tons on hard non-paved roads. In order to ensure the passability on non-paved roads, We have adopted a reinforced rear two-wheel structure for this three-wheeled motorcycle, which not only has a stronger bearing capacity, but also reduces the pressure on the ground.

In addition, both of these three-wheeled motorcycles have passenger models with long cargo boxes..."

Zhang Qihang was going to seriously introduce the passenger three-wheeled motorcycles to these Syrian people, but unfortunately, the attention of these Syrian people was all attracted by the two three-wheeled motorcycles in front of them. From their point of view, what kind of three-wheeled motorcycle are these? They are simply two light trucks!
Unlike light trucks, this car is cheaper, has better terrain adaptability, and most importantly, it costs less to use and maintain. It is almost tailor-made for a country like Syria!

At this moment, Samir Khalil had already made a decision in his heart: Syria must purchase a batch of these three-wheeled motorcycles for adaptability testing. As long as these motorcycles pass the test, Syria must fully develop this Load a heavy-duty three-wheeled motorcycle!
Thinking of this, why would Samir Khalil hesitate?He asked Zhang Qihang directly: "Mr. Zhang, how do you sell this three-wheeled motorcycle?"

Zhang Qihang didn't even blink his eyes: "The blue one costs $2000 each, and the red one costs $3000. "

This price is simply sky-high. How dare you charge 16500 or even 25000 for a broken three-wheeled motorcycle? !Are you crazy?
But in Samir Khalil's view, this offer is the ultimate conscience: Which of the light trucks imported from Syria with a load capacity of about 2 tons is less than 3 US dollars?Now Syria can get the same transportation capacity at only one-tenth or even one-fifteenth of the original price, which is more than a big profit!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Samir Khalil said, "If we import 1000 vehicles at a time, is there any discount?"
