Chapter 472 - Asking Prices

In the afternoon of the next day, when Lin Mo followed Chen Haiqing to the exhibitor exhibition area of ​​Le Bourget Airport, he was startled by the dark crowd of old people's heads outside the Defense Star booth.

What's going on? Are the old guys trying to grab the booth or something?

The visitor is not good!

Chen Haiqing couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at Lin Mo. This guy didn't get into trouble again, but he didn't see these old Russian idiots coming to condemn him aggressively, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Mo came out and saw an old man with white hair who was smiling at him. He looked familiar. It was Sergey Sulotov, a senior engineer of Sukhoi Company. He was holding his military backpack in his hand. .

"Hi! Chinese boy, I sent you your things."

"Engineer Sulotov, I'm really troubling you."

Lin Mo took the marching backpack with a smile. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Although it is not valuable, these military food are also Chinese taxpayers' money.

"This, this, can we talk?"

Engineer Sergey Sulotov's eyes flickered as he spoke, and he quietly stretched out his hand and gestured behind his back.

The other old men understood the situation and acted accordingly. With smiles on their faces, they took the initiative to chat with the Defense Star staff and brought out caviar, coffee, chocolate, matryoshka dolls, etc. The small gifts of specialty products were given to the Chinese side, which made them look very familiar, like they were old friends who had known each other for many years.

The staff of Defense Star were somewhat flattered.

The opponent is Sukhoi, a veteran Russian fighter designer and manufacturer, a veteran in the world's aviation industry. In China, it is at the level of the bosses of Shenyang Aircraft and Chengdu Aircraft, even higher than the status of Shenyang Aircraft and Chengdu Aircraft.

But suddenly there was so much enthusiasm for Defense Star, a new aerospace company, that the staff of Defense Star looked at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Chen Haiqing was unmoved by the weasel's attentiveness and would steal the secrets of the J-14. This is too shameless.

Thinking of this, Chen Haiqing winked at the Chinese guard outside the court.

"Engineer Sulotov! If you have anything to say, just say it."

The Russian's performance also seemed very clumsy in Lin Mo's eyes. After all, it could not compare with the Chinese's delicacy and tortuous thinking. Even if it was close, Lao Maozi's method was straightforward and without any subtlety at all. Even if he wanted to be a little subtle, there was no concealment technique. , still clear at a glance.

"Well, I do want to ask you for help, but don't worry, the treatment will be generous and I won't embarrass you or violate your rules."

Sergey Sulotov's old face turned red. It seemed that he had never done such a thing before. He was full of uneasiness and even his tone became a little stuttering.

Except for fighter jets, there are no other areas that he is not very good at.

As a lobbyist, Sergei Sulotov is indeed not the best person, but Sukhoi can't find a more suitable candidate than him. Who knows Lin Mo best in Sukhoi? Come on, if you don’t look at the monk’s face and look at the Buddha’s face, you can at least open your mouth.

"Help?" Lin Mo scratched his head. Although he and the other party were half colleagues, they were in different departments and departments, and they were not from the same country.

As a military personnel, in what ways can I help others without violating the rules?

Lin Mo couldn't imagine it.

Chen Haiqing on the side raised his ears and expressed great concern. Lin Mo was the National Defense Star's trump card, so it was best not to have any accidents.

Talents are hard to find these days, and it is a rare blessing to have a top pilot like Lin Mo join him. If Lao Maozi makes any changes, won't everyone on the Defense Star go crazy?

"Then let me tell you straight, you have caused great harm to our Sukhoi. When we were transitioning to land, Mayflower just asked you to do a simple maneuver. How could you do such a difficult maneuver? , This is miserable for us. People think that all our Sukhoi pilots can maneuver like this. If they buy our fighter jets and require this level of tactical maneuvers, what will we, Sukhoi, do?"

Before he even said what kind of help he asked Lin Mo to do, Sergei Sulotov couldn't help but pour out the bitter water he was holding in his belly.

Did it harm Sukhoi?

Chen Haiqing looked at Lin Mo strangely. Why did this guy take someone else's plane to Paris and hurt people again? This guy's ability to hurt people is so good that even people in Sukhoi came to beg for mercy. He used to work in national defense. Why didn't I see that Lin Mo had such ability when I was young?

It's really a disaster. Sukhoi can never get rid of the superficial label, and he can't escape as a stepping stone to become a Chinese.

I'm just afraid of comparing, so I have to throw it away.

Who made the Chinese launch the J-11? Not only Sukhoi, but also Russia are counting on the Su-27, the main export fighter to replace the MiG-21, to earn more money for them.

"is it hard?"

Lin Mo tilted his head with an innocent expression. He was just improvising and didn't think it was a particularly difficult maneuver.

His expression made Sergei Sulotov stunned. He completely expected this situation. Did this guy really not take that magical maneuver seriously, or was he pretending on purpose?

However, after looking up and down for a long time, Sergey Sulotov couldn't find any trace of Lin Mo's pretentiousness. It didn't seem to be fake at all. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of disappointment and handed over the information of Sukhoi Company to Lin Mo. His mission was revealed.

"I hope you can make a guest appearance as our Sukhoi pilot at this exhibition. The remuneration is negotiable. You can choose the fighter jets used for the flight show."

As soon as Sergey Sulotov's words came out, Chen Haiqing and the senior officials of Defense Star participating in the exhibition were immediately shocked. Borrowing a pilot?

Those who can serve as fighter test pilots and flight demonstration team pilots are all the best pilots on the front line.

Sukhoi’s official words are intriguing.

When did the Russians become so embarrassed? You must know that many Chinese pilots have been to Russia and Russia's predecessor, the Soviet Union, for further study. When the other party said this, doesn't it mean that Chinese pilots have completely surpassed the level of Russia?

After all, Sukhoi is a major manufacturer in the former Soviet Union. The disintegrated former Soviet Union was once able to compete with the United States. Even if only Russia is left to support the overall situation, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Even if Sukhoi did not bring its most advanced fighter jets, some of the models they put in the exhibition area are still very advanced models, some of which even China is still imitating and learning from.

There is always something commendable about the veteran in the aviation industry who is known as an evergreen tree.

Russia is willing to let Chinese pilots have access to the displayed fighter jets and even flight controls, including the Su-47 "Golden Eagle", and allows Chinese pilots with quite high levels of experience.

For outsiders to watch the excitement, but for insiders to watch the doorways, Sukhoi's act of luring the wolf into the house is tantamount to putting the secrets of the country's most powerful weapon in front of the Chinese people.

How much they can master depends entirely on the ability of the Chinese pilots themselves, but what is certain is that Chinese pilots who specialize in aircraft design and flight control will definitely be able to unearth many advanced technologies.

The Chinese have always been very smart. They may sometimes take detours, but with a little bit of attention they can catch up ten or a hundred times faster.

Normally, no country would allow such an opportunity, not even to take a look at it from a distance.

To a certain extent, this is already the equivalent of turning a blind eye to a semi-public technology leak.

For the order for this biennial world's largest aerospace exhibition, as well as for future orders, Russia has paid a high price. This made the top brass who arrived at the scene feel excited. Sukhoi's technical strength is not inferior in any way. Yu Shenfei and Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, as well as the technology arsenal of Chinese aircraft manufacturers, all have more or less shadows of Russia and the former Soviet Union.

"I disagree. The price of this exchange is not enough to exchange our best pilots."

Chen Haiqing walked up to Lin Mo and expressed that he did not agree with Sukhoi's plan. His words made Engineer Sergey Sulotov froze, and other senior executives of Defense Star also showed incomprehensible expressions. .

They are a national defense star, not Shenfei or Chengdu Aircraft. They are just an aerospace vehicle manufacturer supported by domestic seniors. They have not even completed the necessary full set of technical accumulation and demonstration. Chen Dashao refused. , leaving everyone confused.

The conditions offered by Sukhoi are not only full of trouble for new manufacturers like Defense Star, but even Shenyang Aircraft and Chengdu Aircraft may not be willing to miss such an opportunity, and all they have to pay is to lend their own pilots. , there is no loss at all, and it will not even affect his flight demonstration. Lin Mo has already shown very excellent cross-model control capabilities.

If it were other factories in the country, instead of crying and shouting to hug Sukhoi's big tui, they would be fed up with whatever was leaked from the gaps between their fingers.

"What conditions do you want before you agree to lend him to our pilot?"

Sergey Sulotov's tone was slightly angry. This young man who appeared seemed to have bad intentions. He was not good at negotiating and he directly revealed his trump card, but what he got in exchange was the other party's disdain.

For him, this is already a very favorable condition. Not only can he get a generous labor fee, but he can also have the opportunity to have a glimpse of Sukhoi's technology. It is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even Lockheed Martin, Da A company like Suo will not let it go.

If Hindustan Aeronautics, a manufacturer that is more powerful than the Defense Star, knew that Sukhoi had offered such conditions, I am afraid that it would even be willing to offer discounts... On September 8, 2020, at 15:20 pm, Longzi!rq! .
