The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 167 Aircraft Carrier Drawings [Please order in full! 】

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Don't worry about this problem, we just want to disrupt their position!"

Zhang Zhipeng met with Chen Fuli, the head of the post and telecommunications department, and gave him his suggestions.

After listening to Zhang Zhipeng's words, Chen Fuli nodded and said: "Comrade Zhipeng's concerns are very practical."

"Then we will immediately introduce the regulations you mentioned."

Chen Fuli immediately held an internal meeting. After the meeting, the Huaguo Post and Telecommunications Department, which was responsible for the bidding work, sent a notice to all companies participating in the bidding.

The main content of this notice is as follows:

First, companies participating in the bidding must list their reasonable profits in the bidding document! Without this item, even if you win the bid, it will be declared invalid!
Second, reject malicious competition and win the bid at an unrealistically low price. Clear and detailed written instructions must be provided within one week after winning the bid. If the statement of circumstances is judged to be unconvincing, the winning contract will be terminated immediately!

After the notice was sent out, all bidders received it quickly.

The four major European and American communications giants were a little dumbfounded after reading this notice.

Because, in this way, they can no longer play the game of using ultra-low bids to disrupt the situation.

The heads of the four giants gathered together again to discuss countermeasures.

Nokia business president Axley sighed and said: "It seems that the Chinese are guarding against us!"

"Do they already know our strategy?"

Motorola CEO Gill said: "There are many smart people in China! We cannot underestimate them."

"In my opinion, stop playing those little tricks, they will do no good at all!"

"After all, the value of China's market development is getting bigger and bigger now. We have to give this market the minimum respect!"

Ericsson Vice President Tomasa said: "Our original plan is definitely no longer possible to implement. The top priority is that we must make a decision: What should we do next?"

Qualcomm CEO Kruse said with a serious face: "If we don't play false, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to win the bid, because their domestic company Warwick has a cost advantage! And the technology is no worse than ours!"

"Look, we have to change our strategy."

"My idea is to invest and build factories in China to significantly reduce our equipment production costs."

"This way, we can compete with Warwick."

None of these international giants currently invests in setting up factories in China.

Because they previously felt that the market in China was not big enough, and they only needed to set up a sales company or find an agent to cooperate.

However, in recent years, China's economic development has begun to accelerate suddenly, the number of wealthy people has begun to increase, and the consumption power has also increased rapidly.

The situation is obviously different.

Therefore, investing and building factories in China is really an urgent matter.

What these four people saw in the deep town touched them even more.

There they saw a huge flow of people buying mobile phones to connect to the Internet.

What does this mean?
This shows that China's mobile communications market has begun to accelerate development, and the popularization of mobile phones has obviously become a general trend.

The four giants are a little anxious.

Although they have been advocating that everyone share interests and divide the Chinese market, in fact, they also have their own agendas. In the face of interests, who doesn't want to take more?

Transnational capital is greedy and has no bottom line!

The four major European and American communications giants did not come up with a solution in the end.

After they returned from the meeting, they all began to apply to modify their bid documents in accordance with the notice from the post and telecommunications department.

This modification is basically no different from a rewrite.

Because the previous version of the tender document was just a mess!
While revising the bid documents, they all began to announce their preparations to invest heavily in building factories in China to realize the localized production of communication equipment and mobile phone products.

All four companies announced considerable investment plans and unanimously chose Shenzhen as their investment destination.

Because a complete supply chain of communication equipment has been formed here.

They can be put into production quickly with basically no effort.

Of course, when they revised the bid, they also included their investment plan in the bid.

This means that the four major European and American communications giants are now dealing with this bidding very seriously.

After seeing that the Big Four had withdrawn their bids, Zhang Zhipeng called Ren Zhengfei.

He asked on the phone: "Mr. Ren, do we still need to revise our tender document?"

Ren Zhengfei smiled and said: "We don't need to change it. It is almost written as required by the notice."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "No matter what, it's better to withdraw and reconsider."

"Lest they suspect that we have obtained some inside information."

Generally speaking, there is no requirement to declare profits during the bidding process.

Because profits are trade secrets.

Even if the tenderer requires it to be marked, the tenderer can actually refuse.

Of course, the tenderer is in a strong position, and if the amount of the bid is huge, the tenderer will inevitably have to give in to this request.

Because you don’t accept it, then you are out!
Because Zhang Zhipeng and Li Tianke had discussed this requirement to indicate reasonable profits, Warwick naturally knew about it in advance and stated it in the bid document as required.

In fact, even if a reasonable profit is indicated, it does not necessarily mean that it is only a small profit.

Everything depends on the cost control capabilities of the bidding parties.

Of course, in addition to price factors, it also depends on quality and technology.

When Ren Zhengfei heard what Zhang Zhipeng said, he smiled and said, "Well then, you'd better think more carefully."

"I'll have the tender withdrawn right away."

Zhang Zhipeng asked with a smile: "I have received rumors that the four major European and American communication giants are investing in and building factories in our country, and some are already looking for foundries. It seems that they also realize the size of our market. It’s huge, and only localization can make the most profit.”

"Is Mr. Ren worried about this?"

Ren Zhengfei smiled and said: "It would be a lie to say that we are not worried. After all, they developed early, have strong technical reserves, and have abundant funds. If they seriously carry out localized production, we will inevitably be under tremendous pressure."

"However, I think we also have advantages. Our technology is no worse than theirs, and we have built a demonstration 2G network in Shenzhen Town, and we already have a good reputation."

"Finally, we have a technology powerhouse like you, Mr. Zhang, in charge. If you personally endorse Warwick Communications, people across the country will definitely trust a national brand like ours more!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Since you have brought it up, then let me be the spokesperson for Warwick Communications!"

"I hope to make another success in the communications industry! Continue to enhance the national self-confidence of the Chinese people!"

“What I hate most now is when people around me talk about how good foreign brands are, and I hate those people who use foreign brands as a pretext!”

"For the country to be strong, our people must have confidence! And our national brand should continue to strengthen itself and constantly defeat Lizufang's brands in the market!"

Ren Zhengfei said with emotion: "Mr. Zhang, you said that very well! I once went to a foot basin for inspection, and I found that almost all foot basin people are proud of their own brands, and they trust their own brands more. In the footbath market, domestic brands are more expensive, while foreign brands are cheaper and not many people sell them.”

"At this point, we still have to learn from the footbath people."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, there will always be a process for people to become confident!"

"Just as our domestic computers defeated all foreign brand computers, as long as the brand technology is advanced enough and strong enough, the people's confidence will increase little by little."

Ren Zhengfei personally focused on the matter of revising the tender document, while Zhang Zhipeng didn't care at all.

However, he was not idle either. He met with an Ermao expert on ships, ****, in the capital.

After 1991, the world situation changed drastically. The scientific and technological talents of the former Giant Bear family have also dispersed to various parts of the world.

Naturally, China has also recruited a number of talents.

Of course, quite a few talents still choose to go to European and American countries.

**** used to be a senior engineer at the Black Sea Shipyard.

It has been three or four years since he came to China.

Zhang Zhipeng met with him because he wanted to know something about aircraft carriers from him.

**** used to be a member of the technical backbone team of the Varyag aircraft carrier.

He has a lot of knowledge about this unfinished aircraft carrier.

However, he only knows the technical parameters of the part he is responsible for.

Zhang Zhipeng chatted with him for more than two hours, becoming increasingly interested in the Varyag's technical drawings.

He asked ****: "Comrade ****, do you think the technical drawings of the Varyag can still be preserved intact?"

**** said: "If nothing happens, those drawings should be kept in the archives now."

Zhang Zhipeng asked with a smile: "Can I get a complete set of drawings through someone I know inside the Black Sea Shipyard?"

**** said: "There are a lot of drawings. It probably weighs several tons."

"If you want to get it back, you need to take care of a lot of people."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "This is absolutely no problem."

"How much money is needed? Just tell me the amount when the time comes!"

Zhang Zhipeng now wants to have an in-depth understanding of the full set of drawings of the aircraft carrier to lay a solid foundation for future aircraft carrier construction.

In the previous life, it took a lot of effort to buy the Varyag back.

Because, although this aircraft carrier is not completed, it is still being watched by Lao Mo.

In the previous life, I found an excuse to buy back the aircraft carrier to develop tourism projects, and then I finally bought this big ship.

And transporting it back took many twists and turns.

At first, I wanted to tow it back to China through the Husky Channel. However, the Husky was prohibited from passing and was trapped in the Husky Strait for a long time. After a long period of negotiations, the Husky agreed to be released after enough money was given to pay for the trip. This ship was purchased in 1999. In 2001, it was able to pass through the Husky Strait, round the Cape of Good Hope, sail through the Indian Ocean, pass through Malacca, and finally arrive at Dalian Port in March 2002.

It was on the basis of this aircraft carrier that China finally had its first aircraft carrier after several years of transformation.

Therefore, the Varyag is of great significance to China.

For Zhang Zhipeng, buying a boat was a bit too slow.

If you have the drawings and use the reverse engineering system to improve your aircraft carrier process design capabilities to an advanced level, you can design the first domestically produced aircraft carrier on your own.

Or this speed is faster.

**** said: "I still need to have a phone call with my colleagues who are still at the Black Sea Shipyard to understand the current situation."

"Then I can give you an answer."

"Do you think it's okay?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and nodded and said, "No problem."

Zhang Zhipeng remembered that in his previous life, the Xiangjiang businessman Mr. Xu spent 20 million dollars to buy the Varyag together with the blueprints.

If I just wanted the blueprints, it would be enough to spend 1.8 million dollars, right?
Nowadays, Ermao is so poor and suffering from internal and external troubles that it has sold almost all the property it was allocated to the family that could be sold.

Zhang Zhipeng was wondering if he could directly negotiate to purchase the drawings and the other party would agree?
After **** finished talking to Zhang Zhipeng, he called his colleagues at the Black Sea Shipyard.

The director of the Black Sea Shipyard at this time was Yuri Makarov, who had a good relationship with **** back then.

Makarov was a little surprised when **** called.

"Man, how are you doing in China?" Makarov asked.

**** smiled and said: "It's not bad. The remuneration here is quite generous. Moreover, the benefits are good and life is stable."

Makarov sighed after hearing this and said, "Your life is good!"

"People like us have no way out in Europe and the United States." "It's actually not bad to go to China."

"I'm afraid you don't know that the situation in our factory is getting worse and worse."

"We can't receive any shipbuilding orders at all. The workers are on the verge of unemployment and can't even pay their wages."

"Many family members have to take to the streets to work in order to make a living..."

Makarov couldn't speak anymore, he choked up.

**** felt bad after hearing this.

However, he came with a mission.

This is not the time to express your feelings emotionally.

**** cleared his throat and asked: "Yuri, I want to know, is our Varyag still there?"

Makarov said: "The broken ship is still there."

"Why are you suddenly asking about it?"

**** said: "That's right. Someone in China wants to learn the Varyag's blueprints. The blueprints should not be lost, right?"

After saying this, **** held his breath.

He was a little nervous.

Makarov smiled dryly and said, "The Chinese want to build an aircraft carrier?"

**** said a little embarrassedly: "That should be it."

Makarov said flatly: "They can't build it, the aircraft carrier is too complicated."

"What I'm saying is, they don't have the technical ability."

"Actually, why don't they give us money to build it for them?"

Makarov also wants a big order from China.

But, to be honest, the current Black Sea Shipyard has long been abandoned.

Almost all the technical elite ran away. Shipbuilding equipment is also old and in disrepair.

Where else can we build an aircraft carrier?
**** said: "Yuri, I won't agree!"

"It is staring at our Black Sea Shipyard!"

"If those blueprints are still there, China is willing to pay for them. Do you think that's okay?"

**** thought to himself, the Black Sea Shipyard was so poor that they would definitely agree to sell it.

Yuri Makarov said: "I'm afraid the blueprints cannot be sold. We will still need them to build aircraft carriers here in the future."

**** knew that the other party was teasing her.

He smiled and said: "The benefits for you will be great!"

"If this thing can be done, it will benefit everyone."

Yuri Makarov asked: "How much are they willing to pay?"

**** felt relieved, as long as he was willing to sell, anything was easy to say.

"Yuri, those things piled up in our archives are just waste paper. They are useless except for slowly rotting away."

"Can ten thousand dollars be enough?"

He casually made a price.

Makarov shouted: "This is an insult to our technology! This is an insult to me!"

"Ten thousand dollars, my God! Are you sending a beggar away?"

**** smiled and said: "I can give you 10 dollars."

Makarov immediately lowered his voice.

"Oh, ten thousand dollars is still too little, there is no way to explain it."

"Why don't they buy the boat too?"

"Why don't they pay for us to complete the construction of this aircraft carrier?"

"Actually, we only need another 200 million dollars to complete the construction."

"Is 200 million dollars expensive? It's really not expensive at all."

Makarov had no confidence and seemed to be talking to himself.

In fact, he just wanted to fool him and see if he could get a lot of money.

As for whether they could still build the Varyag, which was 68% completed, he would not think too much about it.

**** smiled and said, "Yuri, I know the situation in our factory."

"The Varyag has no other use than selling scrap metal."

"Right now, we have no plans to buy it yet."

Makarov said naggingly: "It's still brand new, it's just temporarily suspended. As long as we have money, we can continue to build it."

"Why don't you believe it?"

**** was a little impatient: "Man, you know me, I don't like to talk nonsense."

"If you are willing to come to China in the future, I can help."

Makarov smiled and said: "I don't want to go to China. I long to have a lot of money and spend the rest of my life on the warm coast of Europe."

**** thought to himself, this is still not satisfying.

Maybe they actually have nothing to sell now, right?

And Makarov seems to have not made enough money yet.

Therefore, when they catch a possible business, they want to make a lot of money.

**** sighed and said, "Man, how much do you want?"

"You can make your demands."

Makarov said: "I want 10 million for the sales contract if the drawings are made public!"

"I want 100 million dollars myself."

He made his offer.

**** was shocked: This really dares a lion to open its mouth!

**** said, “Man, are you kidding me?”

Makarov chuckled and said, "If you want the blueprints, I'm afraid I'm the only one who can sell them."

"No other country can give it to you."

"So, this is exclusive business."

"I know everything."

**** sighed and said: "We just hope to learn. Moreover, if we only have Russian drawings, how can we build an aircraft carrier?"

"If you ask for too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to earn even the last penny."

Makarov was also very uneasy.

In fact, the Black Sea Shipyard has nothing to sell now.

Was the price you just asked really too high?
no no! This is an exclusive business!

There's no where else they can buy it.

**** is just playing psychological warfare with me, that's all!

Thinking of this, Makarov said calmly: "Comrade ****, I think you may not be able to make the decision. Tell the person who can make the decision about my offer and see what he thinks."

"It's best if he gives a price and I see if it's suitable."

**** When I think about it, I can’t make the decision myself.

He ended the call with Makarov and went to find Zhang Zhipeng.

After Zhang Zhipeng listened to ****'s story, he smiled and said, "This old colleague of yours thinks he has us."

"That's why he opens his mouth like a lion."

"Of course, knowledge is priceless. It took so many elites so many years to draw a set of aircraft carrier process design drawings. I don't think he wants that price."

**** was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly.

That set of drawings indeed took the ingenuity of a lot of elite naval architects.

However, now it sits in the archives of the Black Sea Shipyard, serving no purpose other than gathering dust and slowly decaying.

It would be great if you can sell useless things for a profit.

"Comrade Zhipeng, do you mean that the transaction can be completed at that price?"

Zhang Zhipeng said: "It must still be too expensive!"

"You contact him and tell him whether he is willing to buy the drawings for one million and give him one million himself."

"If he doesn't agree, then forget it, we'll just think about it for a while longer!"

**** followed Zhang Zhipeng's instructions and made a phone call with Makarov.

After Makarov heard this purchase condition, he felt happy.

As long as he can get his own benefits, that's enough.

That set of drawings can sell for one million, which is actually pretty good.

At the very least, we can give some living expenses to the workers in the factory.

He did not insist on his previous request and said to ****: "Give me the money. I ask you to open an account at Swiss Bank and deposit it directly."

**** smiled and said: "No problem!"

"So, we can close the deal quickly."

Makarov also smiled and said: "That's right! Man! If you are willing to fly over to sign the contract, we can close the deal right away!"

"I can guarantee that the transaction is completely legal and the drawings will be escorted to your own plane smoothly."

Just like that, the entire set of drawings of the Varyag was taken down.

A total of two million dollars was spent, and the money was naturally paid by the state.

When Zhang Zhipeng went to tell Zhao Bingkun, Zhao Bingkun smiled and said, "Okay! This is a great thing!"

"Comrade Zhipeng, do you have the confidence to build the aircraft carrier now that you have the blueprints?"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and smiled: "Let's try it out, I think it won't be too difficult!"

Zhao Bingkun suddenly thought of a question: "Didn't you say that you want to build a 10,000-ton engine first?"
