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

Xue Rui fell into deep thought upon hearing Qian Zhizhou's suggestion; he needed to consider it.

However, he prefers to purchase the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter instead.

The military urgently needs a medium-sized multi-purpose helicopter that can fly stably in high-altitude areas.

Although the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter is not the most advanced medium multi-purpose helicopter in the world.

But it's usable as is.

It can meet the current needs of the Yan State military.

Of course, with changes in the domestic and international situation, the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter will be unable to meet the demand.

However, that's a matter for later.

The fact that we now have the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter in use is already considered a stroke of good luck.

Previously, even the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter was not used.

At least the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter is now available.

Furthermore, Dong'an Machinery Factory imported design blueprints, various processes, and standards for the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter from the Soviet Union.

Once the technology is mastered, Yan will be able to mass-produce the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter.

This would have been unthinkable in the past.

In particular, the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter introduced by Dong'an Machinery Factory directly outclasses the current domestic Z-5 and Z-6 helicopters.

The three helicopters are simply not comparable.

Then Xue Rui slowly said, "I can report this to my superiors, but as for whether they agree or not, and what the price will be, I'm not sure."

Xue Rui didn't rule out the possibility of a definitive conclusion, but instead reported it to the authorities.

The main issue is that Xue Rui doesn't have the ability to make final decisions.

Everything needs to be decided by higher-ups.

However, given the current situation of the Yan State military, there is a high probability that they will place a purchase order with Dong'an Machinery Factory.

Especially the initial fifteen Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopters.

The Yan Kingdom's military will purchase at least thirteen of them.

The remaining two were used for research and development.

Dong'an Machinery Factory is now facing a real problem.

That is, what should be done with the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter technology held by Dong'an Machinery Factory?

The Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter is not the most advanced in the world, but its performance is enough to place it in the top tier.

Now that it has been secretly introduced into China by Dong'an Machinery Factory, it is a hot commodity for the two helicopter manufacturing companies in China.

Before coming to Dong'an Machinery Factory, I had met with senior officials from the Harbin Aviation Administration Industry Bureau.

They had also discussed the future of the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter.

Dong'an Machinery Factory is a military enterprise specializing in aero-engines.

The Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter is located at Dong'an Machinery Factory. Does the factory have the capability to replicate and manufacture it?

This is a big problem.

Does Dong'an Machinery Factory have the corresponding production line?

Does the country have a large pool of talent in helicopter design and development?

Based on the current situation, there are only a small number, not that there are none.

Can this support the research, development, production, and manufacturing of the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter?

This is a question in the eyes of many high-ranking officials at the Harbin Aviation Administration Industry Bureau.

Xue Rui put the question very bluntly, wanting to get the answer from the senior management of Dong'an Machinery Factory.

Upon hearing this, a hint of annoyance appeared on the faces of the senior executives of Dong'an Machinery Factory.

They actually want to "steal their own peaches"?

This is absolutely intolerable!

On what grounds?

"Sir, we want to independently develop, produce, and manufacture the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter."

Qian Zhizhou spoke frankly and directly.

This technology was introduced by Dong'an Machinery Factory itself.

Why should we give it to someone else so easily?

The technology for the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter is readily available, as are the manufacturing processes and even the material processing. Most importantly, there are finished prototypes available for reference.

And you're letting other military industrial enterprises do this?

Unless all the top executives at Dong'an Machinery Factory have lost their minds, they wouldn't do that.

If you actually do that, you'll be laughed at for a whole year.

You've brought all the technology back, but you're not using it yourself?

Dong'an Machinery Factory also has many aerospace engineers.

However, some leaders of the Harbin Aviation Administration Industry Bureau believed that Dong'an Machinery Factory was not as capable as Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Group.

"Can your Dong'an Machinery Factory fully master the technology of the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter and set up a production line within one or two years?"

A leader from the Harbin Aviation Administration Industry Bureau inquired tentatively.

Their starting point was good; they were acting in the overall interests of the Yan Kingdom.

But this would come at the expense of Dong'an Machinery Factory's interests.

Seeing that the senior executives of Dong'an Machinery Factory had lowered their heads and fallen silent, Qian Huaijin spoke directly: "Sir, first of all, the technology for the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter was introduced by our Dong'an Machinery Factory."

"We're using US dollars from our Dong'an Machinery Factory; this is real money we've paid. If Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Group wants it, then let them give us 50 million US dollars. We want foreign exchange, not domestic currency."

"On the day of the technology transfer, we transferred the foreign exchange into the account of our Dong'an Machinery Factory."

"On the day of the technology transfer, we transferred the foreign exchange into the account of our Dong'an Machinery Factory."

Don't you want the technology of the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter?

Sure, then bring out real money.

Want to get something for free?

dream!

Some time ago, the Yan country's military signed a procurement order for Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Group.

That is to purchase Dolphin helicopters from France.

In addition to the complete machine, there is also the transfer of the entire technology.

The technology for the Dolphin helicopter was handed over to Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Group.

Let them master the technology and use it to build the Dolphin Helicopter.

Based on this, they designed and developed even more advanced helicopters.

……

Upon hearing Qian Huaijin's words, the leaders of the Harbin Aviation Administration Industry Bureau present immediately lost face.

Unexpectedly, Qian Huaijin immediately guessed that they wanted to give the technology of the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter to Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Group.

Qian Huaijin: I'm not stupid. There are only two helicopter manufacturing groups in the whole country.

Besides Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Group, there is also Changhe Aircraft Manufacturing Company in Ganzhou.

Could it be that the leaders of the Harbin Aviation Administration Industry Bureau are going to transfer the technology of the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter to Changhe Aircraft Manufacturing Company?

That is impossible!

The answer is self-evident!

There's no need to guess; the answer comes out without hesitation.

Qian Huaijin directly used a strategy of retreat to advance, saying that Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Group wanted the Mi-17 medium multi-purpose helicopter technology from Dong'an Machinery Factory, no problem.

You only need to pay in US dollars.

It's not like we can't discuss it.

As long as you pay, everything is negotiable.

No money?

Sorry, I can't provide the technical details.

Qian Huaijin immediately adopted the demeanor of a businessman.

At first, the senior executives of Dong'an Machinery Factory did not understand Qian Huaijin's idea, but after thinking about it, they instantly understood.

They all chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Xue Rui sneered and said, "Are you trying to put us in a difficult position?"

"Sir, this was purchased with US dollars from our Dong'an Machinery Factory. Even close brothers need to keep clear accounts! Besides..."

"Our superiors have instructed us to operate independently and be responsible for our own profits and losses."

Qian Huaijin then used his superior's words to silence the public.
