Selling small motorcycles in mid-air to kick off the Southern Heavenly Gate Project?

As soon as Qian Zhizhou finished speaking, Hai Shan, who was standing next to him, immediately put on a smile.

Sure enough, I have to ask about everything.

Even if Dong'an Machinery Factory doesn't arrange to liaise with the Yan State Air Force, it's always good to mention it.

Sometimes there are unexpected gains.

Qian Zhizhou then nodded slightly and left the meeting room.

He needs to consult with his superior, Xue Rui.

Meanwhile, Qian Huaijin and Haishan were discussing the other three fighter jets.

Haishen negotiated a price reduction on these three fighter jets.

Hai Shan was not satisfied with Qian Huaijin's previous quote.

The price of a J-5 fighter jet is $800,000.

The price of a J-6 fighter jet is two million US dollars.

The price of a J-7 fighter jet is three million two hundred thousand US dollars.

Haishan then made a "big cut" on this price.

Hai Shan is quite interested in the J-7 fighter jet.

As for the J-5 and J-6 fighter jets, if the price is favorable enough, a small batch can be purchased.

But the J-5 fighter jet costs $800,000.

The J-6 fighter jet costs two million US dollars.

This clearly doesn't meet Haishan's desired price.

Qian Huaijin waved his hand helplessly: "Haishan, although the J-5 and J-6 fighter jets are outdated in performance, one only costs 800,000 US dollars, and the other only costs 2 million US dollars. Isn't that cheap?"

"No, Mr. Qian, the J-5 and J-6 fighter jets are comparable in performance to those from fifty or sixty years ago, and they cost a total of two million eight hundred thousand US dollars. This is not how you make money."

"If the J-5 fighter jet costs only 500,000 US dollars, we will purchase 50 of them; if the J-6 fighter jet costs only 1.5 million US dollars, we will purchase 50 of them."

"As for the J-7 fighter jets, which cost 2.3 million US dollars, we will directly purchase 100."

Haishan offered her own ideas.

If Qian Huaijin agrees, the amount for Persia to purchase three types of fighter jets will exceed 330 million US dollars.

Then, adding in the missiles and ammunition for the fighter jets, the total cost exceeded four hundred million US dollars.

Qian Huaijin would definitely disagree!

Asking for exorbitant prices, then negotiating on the spot.

Qian Huaijin and Hai Shan continued to discuss the price there.

Both sides tested each other's bottom line.

……

Immediately after leaving the meeting room, Qian Zhizhou called Xue Rui of the Harbin Aviation Administration Industry Bureau.

The call finally got through.

Xue Rui was completely puzzled. Why was Qian Zhizhou calling him at this time?

"Zhizhou, aren't you supposed to be negotiating with Haishan right now?"

Xue Rui directly voiced his inner doubts.

Even though Qian Huaijin was the main negotiator this time, Qian Zhizhou was still needed to "support" him from the sidelines.

Qian Zhizhou kept the conversation brief and told the other party everything in detail.

Xue Rui fell silent on the other end of the phone.

Xue Rui really didn't expect that Hai Shan wanted to purchase the J-8 fighter jet, which is currently the most advanced fighter jet in the Yan country's air force.

The J-8 fighter jet is a single-seat, twin-engine, high-altitude, high-speed interceptor developed by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation in China.

The J-8 fighter jet was developed a long time ago.

However, its maiden flight was in 1969.

It entered service with the Yan State Air Force in May of this year.

The quantity is only in the single digits.

This refers to the initial test prototype.

Based on the current progress, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation will not be able to begin setting up the production line for the J-8 fighter jet until at least December.

The J-8 fighter jet has a length of 19.25m, a wingspan of 9.34m, a height of 5.41m, a maximum takeoff weight of 17800kg, and a maximum payload of 3500kg.

It is equipped with two WP-7 turbojet engines.

Maximum thrust per unit: 44.1 kN

Maximum level flight speed: Mach 2.2

Combat radius: approximately 800km

As for the early radars, they could only serve as rangefinders.

The weapon system employs a combination of machine guns and ammunition.

Cannons: 2 × 23mm Type 23-3 twin-barreled aircraft cannons.

It has seven missile loading points and can carry air-to-air missiles.

As for performance, opinions really vary.

Among second-generation fighter jets of the same class, the J-8 is not the most outstanding.

It's just average.

Being conventional is tantamount to falling behind.

Although it is a relatively outdated second-generation fighter jet, it is currently the most advanced fighter jet in the Yan country's air force.

The J-5, J-6, and J-7 fighter jets in front of us seem to be products of the last century.

The J-8 fighter jet at least shows the characteristics of an advanced fighter jet.

And now Qian Zhizhou actually says that Persia wants to purchase J-8 fighter jets.

For a moment, Xue Rui was also undecided.

Furthermore, Xue Rui had no decision-making power.

This involves the national security of Yan country.

After all, the J-8 fighter jet is the most advanced fighter jet in Yan country. If it falls into the hands of certain countries, will it be used against Yan country's air power?

It's really hard to say.

"Zhizhou, what are your and Huaijin's thoughts?"

At this moment, Xue Rui was in a dilemma.

He wanted to hear what Qian Zhizhou and Qian Huaijin had to say.

Of course, it was mainly Qian Huaijin's idea.

As for Qian Zhizhou, he was just an afterthought.

His opinion is unimportant.

Qian Zhizhou had absolutely no experience in this kind of international arms trade.

Qian Huaijin, on the other hand, was like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, seemingly born to do this kind of work, possessing astonishing judgment.

"Huaijin didn't tell me anything; he just followed the instructions of his superiors."

Qian Zhizhou hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Xue Rui.

It's not that I don't want to talk about it, but the J-8 fighter jet involves the airspace security of the entire Yan country, as well as the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation.

There are just too many twists and turns in this process.

Therefore, Qian Zhizhou only said that he would follow the instructions of his superiors.

"Zhi Zhou, are you even lying to me now?"

Xue Rui's serious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No, sir, this is truly our idea."

"I know Huaijin's personality; his idea is definitely to sell the J-8 fighter jet to Persia."

After Xue Rui finished speaking, Qian Zhizhou fell silent instantly.

Xue Rui had a very high level of understanding of Qian Huaijin.

Since they were going to nurture him properly, all information about Qian Huaijin was compiled and placed on Xue Rui's desk.

Some leaders also showed interest in Qian Huaijin.

"Speak up. Once it leaves your mouth and enters my ears, no third person will know."

After a moment of silence, Qian Zhizhou tentatively said, "Huaijin's idea is to sell the J-8 fighter jet. He said that the performance of the J-8 fighter jet is already quite outdated, and other major powers already have third-generation fighter jets."

"But we are still clinging to second-generation fighter jets, and being one generation behind is an insurmountable barrier."

"When second-generation fighters clash with third-generation fighters, the result is self-evident. Even in a one-against-many confrontation, the outcome is the same: the third-generation fighters will win decisively."

"Does the Air Force currently have the funds to support our military industrial enterprises in developing third-generation fighter jets?"

"If the US and the Soviet Union develop fourth-generation fighter jets, what will our J-8 fighter jet have to compete with their advanced fighter jets?"

"This is what Huaijin said. Children speak without thinking; he doesn't understand the situation in our country."

After saying that, Qian Zhizhou shut up and stopped talking.

A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone.

Xue Rui smiled and said, "What he said was definitely even harsher."

What can a second-generation fighter jet use to fight a third-generation fighter jet?

You can find yourself from a great distance.

In particular, the radar of the J-8 fighter jet can only perform simple range measurements.
