Chapter 109 Everyone is happy

Huaguo's higher-ups acted very quickly. After receiving Wu Hongfei's report, the bosses quickly held a small-scale discussion meeting and finally agreed to Wu Hongfei's, or Cheng Yuan's, conditions.After the approval of the superiors in the central government, the action was quick, and a formal negotiating delegation was directly sent over. The leader of this negotiating delegation was an old acquaintance of Cheng Yuan, Director Chang Donglin of the Development and Reform Commission of the State Council.

Here is a point to explain, the things that Cheng Yuan had discussed with General Wu Hongfei, or Director Wu Hongfei before, were just some private intentional negotiations, not even negotiations at all.It is a formal act for the Chinese government to send a negotiating delegation. Even if the delegation is conducting secret negotiations, the meaning is different, because the content of the delegation negotiating is to sign a contract with the other party. And what is recorded and archived is an act of national effectiveness.

In the same way, since Hua Guo sent a delegation to show enough sincerity, then Sweden should also send an equivalent delegation. At the very least, the Swedish Saab Group must send a representative with enough decisive power , Come over to conduct formal negotiations with Hua Guo representatives, and sign a memorandum or contract or something like that.If the other party doesn't respond, it proves that the other party is not sincere, and it means that what Cheng Yuan said before was just bragging.

Generally speaking, if the matter is not important, a country will not play such a joke, at least send someone to Saab in Sweden to ask if it has this intention.However, if you ask such a question, it will be difficult to control the secrecy. Coupled with Cheng Yuan's previous performance, the superiors decided to continue to trust Cheng Yuan once again.

But obviously, some people's worries were superfluous. After proving the sincerity of the Huaguo government, or seeing the arrival of the official delegation, Cheng Yuan quickly contacted Vivian.Let her send a delegation of sufficient weight as soon as possible to negotiate with the Chinese government.

Originally, Vivienne wanted to come here in person, but she almost forgot when she got excited. Her identity is not the princess of Sweden, but the Duke of Norway and the princess of Spain. There is also the Colon Islands, which is Galapa Honorary Governor of Gos.So, at least on the bright side, Vivienne actually represents the interests of Spain and Norway.Her layout in Sweden was done in the name of Louise. After all, according to the original plan, Louise was the illegitimate daughter of the Swedish king, a low-key Swedish princess who could not be ignored.

Moreover, in Cheng Yuan's view, it is not a good time for Vivienne to show up frequently, at least when she is not strong enough, it is not good for her to show up frequently.So this time it's still just asking her to send an equal negotiating delegation over.

In fact, at this point, the Austen Group, which has become a behemoth, can't hide its figure no matter how low-key it is.There is no way to stop myself from entering the public eye.You know, when the Orstein Group is just a small private company without showing its fangs, everyone can selectively ignore you.But if you acquire so many famous companies in one go, and you also come up with such things as robots and new materials.For things like new fighter jets, in today's Internet age, it is unrealistic to think about not being noticed.

That is because the Austen Group has gradually entered the foreground from behind the scenes, and the matter of Vivian and Louis, the actual owners of the company speculated by the outside world, has gradually become known to everyone and has been watched by major media. Digging out all the information related to the two of them, it's a pity that the two have been reclusive and never accept interviews, so they still give the public a sense of mystery.

However, no matter how mysterious it is, it will not prevent these two princesses from causing a stir in various places, nor will it prevent these two people from becoming fat in the eyes of media reporters. After all, Vivienne and Louis have all the charms. Elements of eyeballs: noble status, ups and downs, mysterious whereabouts, powerful strength... Everything about them can almost make a Hollywood inspirational blockbuster.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that the Austen Group, which they actually control, has been upgraded to the top five of the world’s top [-] companies after experiencing so many swallowing behaviors, and because they have mastered the most advanced robotics technology and nanomaterials Technology, so it is known as one of the companies with the greatest potential.

It's a pity that because the Orstein Group is not a listed company, its finances have never been made public, and it is not clear how many shares the two princesses actually hold in the Orstein Group. In addition, their wealth has always been kept secret, so the outside world I don't know how much wealth the two of them have, so I can't give them a personal wealth list.

Although I don't know how much wealth these two women have, but in the new round of Forbes' most powerful people list, they are ranked No. 7 among the world's most powerful people In the selection, they were second only to the German Chancellor, and together with the German Chancellor, they were named the three most powerful women in the world.

Not only that, but recently it was said that "Time" magazine wanted to publish a photo of the two of them on the cover of the new issue, but because Vivienne and Louis were usually too low-key, no clear photos had ever been released to the outside world. The other party's strong opposition finally gave up.Although no photos were published, the content of the article still gave these two women a high evaluation, saying that they are figures who can change the world.

The reason why they have such a high evaluation is entirely because the two of them can actually control the Austen Group, and the Austen Group is not only powerful, but also has industries across European countries such as Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Spain, and has strong influence on these countries. Influence, but also mastered the world's top robot technology, the world's top new material technology, as well as top artificial intelligence technology and a series of technologies that are said to change the world.Just by mastering the Austen Group, the two of them were named No. 7 of the world's most powerful figures, which is well deserved.

Therefore, although Vivienne and Louis rarely showed up, they were already quite famous. It was good for them to not move easily. If they moved, their whereabouts would definitely be discovered, which would cause a lot of unnecessary speculation.

Under the current circumstances, once Vivienne or Louis comes to China, there will be no secret negotiations. They themselves and the Austen Group behind them can make countless meanings be interpreted by the outside world. It got to that point.I am afraid that Western countries will exert pressure and interfere with this, regardless of face or liking, so that the cooperation plan of this fighter aircraft OEM will become yellow.

In comparison, Martina, who has become a Colombian national hero, is relatively less troublesome, at least not yet caught in the eyes of mainstream society in the Western world.

After all, outsiders' interpretation of Vivienne is still in the dark, so they don't know how powerful Vivienne is in Northern Europe.Among other things, at least in Sweden and Norway, her words are better than the king and the prime minister.A veritable Shadow Führer.

Of course, Vivian's power is also a hidden power, which is different from Hitler's complete dictatorship, because Vivian doesn't need to show up at all, she only needs to control Sweden and Norway The government and several core power figures in the parliament, and then they can let these high-level power figures issue orders instead of her, as if they were manipulating puppets.

This situation may not work well in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. After all, the number of people in their Congress, Senate, and the like is too large.And there is a relatively complete control and supervision mechanism between them, but in Sweden and Norway, a small country that still maintains a constitutional monarchy, Vivienne's method is very effective.

After all, under normal circumstances, who would have Vivian's ability to control the mind?And who would believe it.The politicians of a country are actually hypnotized and become the puppets of others?

As long as Vivienne's orders are not too outrageous and make it look passable to outsiders, then this situation will not be discovered.

and.Even if Vivienne can't achieve absolute dictatorship in a democratic country, at least in the Austen Group and its subordinate groups, Vivienne can be said to keep her word.Have absolute control.

She seemed to understand this too, so Wei Wei'an had no choice but to complain a little and act cute, and then arranged for a few members of the Conservative Party of Sweden and the vice president of the Saab Group to come over seemingly helplessly. According to the plan, they would take a The private jet of Viking Airlines came to China secretly in a private capacity to conduct related negotiations with the Chinese government.

These people came quite quickly. It can be said that after Vivienne made a decision, these people immediately dropped everything and set off. However, there was a certain suddenness in disguise, which made the negotiation process more secretive.

After arriving in China, people headed by members of the Swedish Conservative Party and the vice president of the Saab Group went directly to Shangdong City, where they started negotiations with Chang Donglin and his party who had been waiting for a long time.

As for the general policy, both parties have established strategies and are relatively familiar with each other. Therefore, in addition to making a formal gesture in this negotiation, there is also a more specific discussion on details.

You know, in the eyes of outsiders, Huaguo has taken advantage of this kind of cooperation. After all, compared with the market and resources, the weight of high-end technology is heavier. Under normal circumstances, Sweden and Saab will not This kind of strategic cooperation with Huaguo.

Of course, from a business point of view, it seems that Sweden has a lot of advantages. It can get a foundry without paying a penny. They are working hard to develop the sixth-generation aircraft like the Gray Swan, so although this fighter is already the absolute number one in the world, it is outdated in terms of technical reserves.

From a business point of view, exchanging outdated technology for a large amount of funds and speeding up the progress of one's scientific research is all about making money.

Although politically, doing so is very risky, but since the Swedish government has agreed, it proves that these risks are borne by the government. As a company, this is naturally the best thing.

Of course, there is actually nothing to say about why China has to be chosen. Although China has problems, it is after all the country with the strongest purchasing power in the world. It is a typical country with money but no technology, plus Sweden and China. The relationship between them has always been good, and this kind of business behavior is justified.

But even so, as the vice president of Saab, in the actual negotiation, he still cares about his own interests. Simply put, there are more requirements for the amount of funds and loans, and an interest-free loan of 1000 billion yuan is required. It is an absolute lion who opened his mouth.

In addition, as for the whereabouts of the fighters after the foundry, let’s not talk about the ones that are shipped back to Sweden. As for the planes that are privately sold to China, the price is not cheap. Basically, it is a modified trainer without weapons and avionics systems. The price of each aircraft is 5000 million US dollars, which is comparable to the price of F22, a typical expensive item.

Of course, this was a wild asking price, and Huaguo would naturally have to pay back the money. After all, the tone of the cooperation between the two parties had already been set. Relatively speaking, this would be a disadvantage for the seller, that is, Saab.

In the end, the result of the negotiation was that the Huaguo government provided an interest-free loan of 300 billion yuan, divided into five batches, and invested in the OEM project of the Raven fighter jet. To be precise, the money was directly given to the OEM that Cheng Yuan will establish Among the factories.

As for the repayment method of this interest-free loan, Huaguo does not want money, but sells the product, that is, the finished fighter plane, to the Huaguo side at a counter-price.

The purchase price of this kind of aircraft, the final negotiated price is 6000 million U.S. dollars. This price is to buy a modified trainer aircraft of the Raven fighter, that is, an aircraft without weapon systems and avionics systems. The export version of the avionics system will cost another 2000 million yuan, and the weapon system will not be provided in principle, and the Chinese government will configure it by itself.

After the business was negotiated, I don't know if it was to please the Swedish side more, or if it was really necessary, the Chinese government actually placed an order with a total value of [-] million yuan directly to Saab to purchase Saab's helicopter guns. The latest generation of integrated combat platform system developed by the aircraft.

Although this combat system is relatively new, it is actually at the level of the US Apache helicopter. Although it is very advanced, it is far behind the avionics system of the Raven aircraft.However, as far as Huaguo is concerned, this system is already advanced enough. After all, they cannot get the avionics system of the US Apache helicopter.

Of course, what the Chinese government is really envious of is the avionics system of the crow aircraft, even if it is an export version, but they don’t want to sell this kind of system, at least not now. Consider whether to install this set of avionics.

Just kidding, a major feature of the crow aircraft is its intelligent avionics system. Without this intelligent avionics system, the performance of the crow aircraft will be greatly reduced, and it can only be regarded as a quasi-fifth generation aircraft that requires full control of the pilot.But if the avionics system is installed, it will immediately transform into a fifth-generation and a half aircraft. The performance increase is not 01:30, which can kill any fifth-generation aircraft in seconds.

In fact, Cheng Yuan can naturally sell this kind of avionics system to Huaguo now, but this will attract more attention. After all, the avionics system of a fighter plane is the brain of the plane in a certain way, representing The combat capability of the aircraft, or aggressiveness.Without avionics and weapon systems, it can barely be called a trainer. If it is equipped with avionics, it will be a proper fighter.At this stage, Cheng Yuan is not prepared to take this risk, and it is not necessary.

In any case, the official non-public negotiations between Huaguo and the Swedish Saab company this time, the atmosphere is friendly, the attitude is frank, the achievements are eye-catching, and the prospects are expected. For Saab, or for the group led by Cheng Yuan, it can be said that everyone is truly happy. (To be continued..)
