Chapter 787 If You Are Not a Shareholder, You Are Not a Teammate
Before the start of the war, there would be a high probability that the women's meeting would disagree, because in the first three desert wars, Yi Selie fought 6 all the year round, and the desert tyrants who still fought couldn't hold their heads up.
For the sake of balance, the United States will definitely not increase the combat power of Israel.
But in this war, Yi Selie was almost wiped out. As long as the upper class in the United States is not stupid, in order to appease the younger brother, it must strengthen Yi Selie's strength.
And in this special period, any congressman who jumps out to make trouble will be hated by the Jews.
If that guy wants to be re-elected in the future, it is guaranteed that there will be a lot of unfavorable public opinion in the media, and even scandals will be revealed.
We talked for another half an hour about how to sign a contract, and which companies to use to separately underwrite training, weapons and ammunition, and spare parts sales.
Farouk finally asked, "Henry, in order to speed up the signing of the contract, shall we hold a practical exercise?"
For the second time, Li Changheng didn't make a decision right away, but looked at Grumman's president, Brett again.
"The exercise is fine, but the opponents can only be Tomcats versus Phantom fighters."
The Americans have always wanted to get the MiG series of fighters, but they didn't succeed until the 1980s, and Farouk has no problem with this.
Making this request is nothing more than trying to use a planned air battle to block possible different voices.
As far as the exercise is concerned, Grumman produced both types of aircraft by himself, and the United States is open to Israel.
In addition to the relationship between Li Changheng, Farouk, Boyin and Grumman, various review procedures may be approved as soon as they are handed in.
As for the fighter pilots, they are the ace test pilots among the aces. Both Grumman and Boyin can raise a squadron.
However, Li Changheng also took the opportunity to propose a plan to sign the contract tomorrow and conduct exercises in the afternoon.
Farouk, Boyin's president Payne, and Grumman's president Brett are all not stupid. After thinking about it for a while, they think Li Changheng's proposal is problematic.
Because of Taylor Garnell, Li Changheng's spokesperson, Payne knows a lot about Li Changheng's character.
Coupled with the matter of investing in Citigroup and forcing Meifu and Grumman, he also has a certain degree of understanding of Li Changheng.
The first thought was that the war might not last long, otherwise Li Changheng wouldn't be in such a hurry.
Then he subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Changheng, thinking in shock, 'Is this plotting against Grumman? '
Then Payne immediately thought that Grumman was not part of Citigroup, and Li Changheng didn't get any shares of Grumman.
God, Payne was a little frightened and sweated coldly on his brow. Among Boyin's shareholders, there is no Li Changheng.
Then he felt that this was only natural, otherwise why did Li Changheng help Grumman so actively?
In an instant, Payne felt that it seemed necessary to deepen the cooperative relationship with Li Changheng, and even took the initiative to invite him to become a shareholder of Boyin.
Otherwise, who knows when, Boyin will be tricked by Li Changheng unknowingly.
But Farouk and Brett were frightened by the fact that the deserters almost broke into the capital. The first thing they thought of was that Li Changheng was implying that the war might be more cruel.
He vaguely reminded himself that the Tomcats had to enter Israel as soon as possible.
Then I thought that the Egyptian armored forces would stop. It was because the ground air defense forces were too slow to follow up that many tanks were destroyed by the air forces supporting the past from Yuenan.
If Egypt's air defense forces keep up, the air battle will definitely be more intense.
So when Brett, the president of Grumman, felt that he had the chance to win, Farouk only thought about it for a while, and decided that the two parties would discuss the terms of the contract overnight and sign the contract tomorrow morning.
As soon as the contract was signed, it happened that the F14 squadron on the 8 US aircraft carriers could legally enter Israel as soon as possible to participate in the battle.
And, that's not counting, Farouk asked Grumman President Brett Elman with an anxious expression on his face.
"Mr. Elman, how many Tomcats are there on Grumman's assembly line?"
"this,,,".
Brett, who was smiling just now, suddenly became embarrassed.
He hesitated a few words, I wanted to lie and perfunctory the past.
But thinking of something, he sighed helplessly and said, "F14 was successfully developed, and the cost budget at that time was about 50 million US dollars.
In addition, in order to win the order, we signed a fixed price agreement with the US Navy for 430 aircraft in 1969, each at a price of 60 million US dollars.
However, with the rising inflation in recent years, the cost price of Tomcat has soared to 64 million US dollars, which makes us lose millions of dollars every time we produce one.
Last year, 16 B-type Tomcats were delivered to the Navy and officially stationed on the aircraft carrier. After forming two combat squadrons, we have been negotiating with the US Navy to renegotiate the price.
Later this year, after Iran chose us between F14 and F15, it was talking about an order of 80 planes.
The assembly line can assemble one plane every 5 days, but it takes a lot of time to start producing parts.
If you want to get 50 Tomcats as soon as possible, you have to pay the full purchase price of 3.5 billion first. "
FK, Farouk cursed in his heart, he actually knew the information.
Just now I was frightened by Li Changheng's words, so I asked eagerly.
Now that I hear Brett say it himself, I'm sure I'm upset.
And Brett didn't dare to lie, and he also understood that it was difficult for the US to keep secrets about many things from Israelites.
Any Jewish engineer, when Isel was beaten, could easily spread what he knew in secret, and then Farouk and others would soon be able to get specific information.
Seeing that Farouk's face had darkened, Li Changheng was overjoyed, but he shook his head with a helpless expression on his face.
Patting Farouk's arm, he said with an awkward smile, "I'll talk to the people from the US Navy in a while, and try to get their intervention to speed up the production of parts."
Facing Li Changheng, Farouk will not, and cannot, show bad looks like he did to Brett.
"Henry, you know, we continue to form combat power now, otherwise no one knows if there will be accidents."
"I understand", Li Changheng laughed, and the fourth desert war will end at the end of October without any accidents.
After all, according to the support of the Americans, it is not difficult to stabilize the war situation.
In addition, since the red polar bear wanted to attack the forces of the United States, it kept selling arms to Egypt.
On the one hand, I actually don’t want to see that the Egyptians really won the war.
Then he became the de facto boss in the desert area, backed by a dozen younger brothers, and controlled the Suez Canal, threatening the interests of polar bears and the United States.
Therefore, as long as the Americans start to support Israel, the war is actually over.
Since the war is not long, the order for the first batch of 50 fighters must be completed as soon as possible, and the first batch of 3.5 billion U.S. dollars must be obtained within a few days.
Otherwise, as Farouk said, no one knows what accidents will happen in the future.
Not to mention, he was calculating Grumman's shares just as Payne had guessed.
