Chen Nian felt extremely comfortable after finally figuring out the correct operation of the system.
Of course, this does not mean that he will not want to learn in the future. On the contrary, it places higher requirements on the depth of his learning.
Only when you reach a sufficient level can you select the most important nodes in key projects and use these nodes to form fission reactions, allowing technology to explode with the highest efficiency, thus giving back to your source.
The source points obtained in this way are the real "rewards". The source points obtained during learning should be said to be a kind of "wage".
A very user-friendly system.
I don’t know how much better than those capitalists.
Chen Nian sighed secretly and walked all the way back to his residence.
And now he has a clear goal.
The analysis of hot isostatic presses must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and ways must even be found to promote localization.
Because only self-research can generate new knowledge and form an increment of knowledge.
From this point of view, I made the right choice when I chose to stop the introduction of AL-31FN...
...
At the same time, when Chen Nian was thinking about how to localize hot isostatic pressing equipment, in the QUINTUS headquarters in Sweden, two men in suits and ties were sitting opposite each other, drinking coffee leisurely.
"Watkins, I suppose we haven't seen each other in a while?"
"Yes, Jack. We haven't seen each other for nearly 30 years since graduation year. How is Ms. Wins?"
"Not bad. I heard she had some heart problems last year and I went to see her. But overall, for an eighty-year-old man, her health is pretty good."
Watkins nodded and said with emotion:
"I really miss Miss Wincy's wine. I still remember her favorite song, summer wine... Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring... That's it Her wine?”
"If you say so, maybe we should have a few drinks tonight."
Jack replied with a smile.
"I don't have summer wine here. The wine here is just like the climate, cold and hard."
"Okay, too much small talk."
"So, what are your company's plans?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jack's expression immediately changed.
One second, he was still a gentle middle-aged man catching up with old friends, but this second, he turned back into the top sales representative of DSI Company, exuding a determined and irresistible momentum.
"We're not going to sell them equipment -- and we're not going to say no too obviously."
"We will use harsh conditions to make them quit."
"After all, you know, the relationship between our two countries is quite friendly, but now the Soviet Union - no, Russia is the biggest enemy."
Watkins hummed and said in agreement:
"Even I can feel this. Since the Soviet Union left, the Russians have become more and more annoying. On the contrary, the Chinese are very comfortable doing business with them."
"The price is perfect, there are few things to do, and you can make a lot of money on subsequent maintenance costs."
Jack heard the implication of Watkins' words. In such a conversation, he mentioned "making money" and showed goodwill towards China. There was no doubt that he was negotiating terms with himself.
Therefore, he did not hide it, but said directly:
"Watkins, I know what you mean."
"In this world, it is natural for businessmen like us to live for profit, but the problem is that what we should pursue is longer-term interests."
"The purchase order they put out this time is very large, 20 units in total, but have you ever thought that if you sell these equipment to them, it is very likely that this will be the last time your QUINTUS exports thermal equipment to China. Pressed?"
Watkins frowned and asked:
"Who are you to judge this? According to our company's internal predictions, with the current technical level of the Chinese people, it is impossible for them to imitate the hot isostatic press in a short time."
"The two technologies of high-pressure module and hydraulic module alone are enough to pin them down."
"Twenty years? You underestimate them too much."
Jack smiled mockingly and continued:
"Do you know that 50 years ago we also thought that one Van Fleet's ammunition was enough to defeat them."
"But what's the final result? We were forced to sign a shameful withdrawal agreement."
"Chinese people can always do things that surprise you. Going back 10 years, they were even nervous about using electricity, but what about now?"
"Do not underestimate your opponent, my friend."
After listening to Jack's words, Watkins fell silent.
After a moment, he asked again:
"You are unwilling to sell hot isostatic presses. Are you afraid that they will seize this market? In fact, what you are really worried about is everything about fighter jets and the interests on the sea."
"certainly."
Jack answered unabashedly.
"But you are businessmen after all, and DSI is a company that needs to make money."
"Someone will make it up to us, just like we will make it up to you."
"At this time, our two families need to join forces, put aside their competition, and face our enemies together."
Watkins smiled and said:
"For us, the Chinese are not necessarily enemies..."
"Ten million US dollars, plus two technical exchange summits."
Jack put out his own price tag, and this price tag, no matter where it is placed, can be said to be extremely attractive.
But Watkins still didn't let go.
"Too few. This time China's demand for introduction is 20 units. For the price of one machine, plus follow-up maintenance and technical support, we can earn at least 20 million US dollars."
"But the $40 million needs to be spread over the next ten years—you know what discounting is, right?"
Jack interrupted Watkins without wavering. The latter was silent for a moment and finally said:
"15 million US dollars, other conditions remain unchanged."
"make a deal!"
Jack decisively agreed. In fact, the price had not even touched his upper limit.
Seeing his reaction, Watkins shook his head helplessly and asked:
"Do you really think that restricting the import of hot isostatic presses will prevent the Chinese from building new aircraft?"
"I have heard a lot of rumors recently, and they seem to be inconsistent with your judgment..."
A cryptic smile appeared on Jack's face, and he lowered his voice and said:
"The hot isostatic press is just one part of it, that's why I'm here to talk to you."
"Washington is determined and has a clear goal."
"It's impossible for them to let the Chinese build that 'imaginary' aircraft, because that would have a major impact on Washington's plans."
"Besides me, there are many people running around in every corner of the world."
"And their goals are actually the same as mine."
"The noose has gradually tightened, and China's new projects will be strangled in the cradle."
"Yeah?"
Watkins' expression was dull and his tone was perfunctory.
Looking at the ambitious man in front of him, a strange premonition arose in his heart.
Perhaps, Washington's actions will eventually become a farce, and he and his company will make a lot of money in vain.
But is this possible?
Maybe.......
