Chapter 345 Projects to participate in the Asian International Defense Exhibition
A group of people entered the restaurant talking and laughing.
Before Qin Tao could find a seat to sit down, when he passed a certain table, the person who was dining stood up.
"Mr. Qin!"
This tone of voice is very special, not because of ridicule, but because the speaker is a foreigner.
Qin Tao looked over in surprise: "Michelle?"
Mbappe was also sitting there, waving to Qin Tao: "Qin, I sincerely invite you to dine at our table. This oriental food is really good!"
Their table was filled with delicious food.
Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, I'm very honored."
These senior executives of GT Company were originally staying at the Huating Hotel, and now it was dinner time. Unexpectedly, they bumped into each other like this.
Qin Tao looked at the people around him and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Manager Zhang of our Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, and this is Director Wang of Huating Shipyard."
Forget about the other people, I can introduce them to these two people.
Qin Tao introduced to the two people around him: "These are all from the French GT company. Mr. Mbappe is the person in charge of the company, Michel is the technical director of the company, and..."
Manager Zhang and Factory Director Wang were both surprised. The focus of today's meeting was actually the natural gas tanker. Although no resolution was reached in the end, Factory Manager Wang had already made up his mind to follow Qin Tao and the others, but they didn't expect it.
, unexpectedly, while eating, I could see the leader in the natural gas ship industry, GT Company!
"Welcome, welcome, everyone, please come and eat together." This time, Mbappe also stood up.
If there was only Qin Tao, he could still support him and just sit there. However, the person in charge of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation is different. His status is higher than him.
Once everyone is seated, eating becomes secondary.
"Manager Zhang, you have a large number of shipyards. If you want to continue to develop, you must manufacture new types of ships, especially natural gas ships. On behalf of the company, I welcome your inspection at any time."
Mbappe has already begun to pave the way for their company's business expansion.
The scale of their company is not large. They make money by selling patents. All the companies in Europe that can buy their patents for shipbuilding have already bought them. If they want to continue to expand their scale, they have to move to the East.
Therefore, they expect to sell more patents here.
"Of course, we at CSSC have also admired GT Company for a long time. We will definitely go and inspect it when we have time in the future."
Now that you have encountered it, it is a matter of course. Regardless of whether it is introduced or not, it is always necessary to go and take a look.
"Mr. Mbappe, just wait and continue to make money from now on. We are meeting today to discuss the issue of natural gas ships." Qin Tao started to lie from the side: "If nothing else, Yinwa Steel's automatic welding equipment,
It must be purchased.”
Mbappe's eyes lit up.
After Qin Tao left yesterday, they discussed it, but no resolution was reached.
If Mingzhou Group is a Western company, they will admit it. It is obviously a company from a backward Eastern country, but it wants to sell patents to them. They really can't lose face. How can a proud French company buy a Chinese company?
patent?
However, if they don't buy it, their research and development route will be blocked, and the plan proposed by Qin Tao is not too extreme.
In this way, they repeatedly weighed and failed to reach a consensus, and they could only be happy when it was time to eat.
Now, let’s talk about work again.
Although Mingzhou Group has relevant patents, Mingzhou Group does not have various equipment! More than 90% of the welds of Yinwa Steel’s liquid cargo fence require automatic welding machines. For these, they only
Can be imported.
If you use their GT company, you can also make a lot of money!
"Director Wang and I have just reached a decision on patent licensing for natural gas ships." Qin Tao said: "Their shipyard needs to purchase some automatic welding equipment. In the future, more shipyards will join in.
Mr. Mbappe, how do you think about what happened yesterday?"
This can be regarded as opening the skylight and speaking openly.
Although it cost them two-fifths of the patent fee, which was a bit much, they still let them take the bulk after all. Moreover, the insulated boxes and the like were all given to them for free. Qin Tao was also very generous.
Now, Qin Tao has given a new benefit. As long as they are willing to agree to yesterday's request, then Qin Tao can purchase these automatic welding equipment through them and let them make a fortune.
Anyway, they are not the only ones who can contact. Qin Tao can directly contact the relevant factories. After all, those welding equipment are still in use in Mingzhou, and the factory has specialized technicians responsible for maintenance. Moreover, not only this factory, but also
There are other factories in Germany and the UK that can help, so you don’t need to go through them at all.
This is an exchange of interests.
Mbappe looked at several other people around him, exchanged opinions, and finally nodded: "After our careful consideration and research, we can accept your proposal, but it still needs the approval of the company's board of directors and needs to go through
It will take some time before we can sign the agreement."
"Okay, our Huating Shipyard also needs a period of preparation. By then, the relevant agreements can be signed together."
Factory Director Wang felt that Qin Tao was using them as a negotiating weapon, but it didn't matter. Qin Tao gave them a 2% patent fee, which was quite low. They would be the second to enter this market and then become the shipbuilding company.
A new profit growth point for the factory.
The meal was very enjoyable. After the meal, Qin Tao and Xu Zhengyang went home. They only worked for half a day at most every day, leaving half a day to spend with their wives.
On the way back, Xu Zhengyang continued to sigh.
"Mr. Qin, GT Company really agreed. This is a new era for our group."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "There are so many benefits, and they can't get around the relevant technical routes, so of course they have to reach an agreement with us." Qin Tao said: "If you have money, let's make it together."
"By the way, Huating Shipyard, how can you give them a 2% authorization price?"
"It goes without saying that 2%, 1%, or even 0.5% will do. After all, our family cannot build so many ships. If we build them together, it will drive the development of the entire shipbuilding industry in our country. It is also our
It is obligatory." Qin Tao said.
Xu Zhengyang turned his head and glanced at Qin Tao, trying to see the hypocrisy on his expression.
but none.
Qin Tao really thinks so. Looking at the competitive situation of international natural gas ships in the future, if they can be sold more expensively, of course they should be more expensive, so as to make money from foreigners. If not, then he is willing to lower the patent fees and let domestic shipyards
Be in an advantageous position in the competition.
As for the issue of making money, Qin Tao actually didn't want to make much money through patent fees. They wanted to engage in industry. The Yinwa Steel to build natural gas ships needed to be purchased from the Mingzhou Steel Plant.
Even if other steel mills want to produce this kind of Yinwa steel, it will not be easy because they do not have a stable source of nickel. Only 36% of nickel can be used to create Yinwa steel, which is not something ordinary steel plants can do.
Done.
Even if it is just supporting domestic shipyards and providing Yinwa steel, it will be enough for Mingzhou Group to make money. To expand the production of natural gas ships, of course, there is also the consideration of expanding the Yinwa steel market.
In addition to these, there are some other things, such as various anti-freeze valves, which also have very high requirements. They are all independently produced by Mingzhou Shipyard and can be sold for money.
Therefore, Qin Tao is very generous. He must charge royalties, but he can charge less. Of course, he must charge them on a ship-by-ship basis. He must have a stable source of profit and cannot let other shipyards take advantage.
After returning home, Zhao Ling and her mother-in-law were not there and had gone for a walk. Wu Shengli also came back. After seeing Qin Tao, Wu Shengli immediately spoke: "Went to attend a Hongmen Banquet today?"
"Yes, it was roasted on the fire for a while. Now, those people are probably building a scarecrow."
Wu Shengli smiled: "Those people's gazes can kill people, right?"
"Yes, I am thick-skinned and thick-skinned. By the way, Dad, I have something to report to you."
"Say it."
"We at Mingzhou Group also want to participate in the Asian Defense Exhibition." Qin Tao said: "We plan to make some ship models, but the weapon systems equipped on them need to be approved by the navy."
"Well, let's talk about it."
"Currently, our main product is the 054 frigate." Qin Tao said: "Almost all the weapons and equipment on this warship are copied from Lao Maozi, so there are not many secrets at all.
, if the Navy agrees, we will use this warship as the basis to launch a brand new frigate, which will definitely steal the show at this defense exhibition."
In terms of surface ships, Mingzhou Shipyard really doesn’t have much to offer.
The original anti-aircraft destroyer has a large displacement and is limited by gas turbines and anti-aircraft missiles, so it cannot be exported. Besides, even if it is exported, no user can appreciate it. After all, this kind of warship only focuses on air defense, and some
Tasteless.
The 054 is different. The engine is owned by itself, and all kinds of air defense equipment are also owned by itself. Therefore, it can be mass-produced at any time. After improvement, it is not that difficult to export and make foreign money.
"Air defense missiles are not good, but other systems are fine." Wu Shengli immediately replied to Qin Tao.
"What?"
Qin Tao was a little embarrassed: "The biggest advantage of our frigate is the vertically launched air defense missile system. Without it, what else would we use for publicity? Besides, if it can be sold, it can also bring a fortune to relevant units.
Profit!"
In countries like the United States and Lao Maozi, arms sales are divided into grades, with high-grade products for personal use and low-grade products for export.
It’s not just Lao Maozi who is shrinking, the United States is no exception. When it sold the F-16 to China, it planned to forcefully insert the J79 turbojet engine into it, but not the turbofan engine version. The famous M1 tank, in
After export, the armor protection is also weak.
But China is different.
When China exports, a common practice it follows is that what is exported is better than what is used for its own use.
In terms of aircraft, the J-7 fighter jets switched to Marconi's avionics and had a head-up display, which was first sold abroad. The Air Force thought it was good, so they equipped a batch of them. The Army is even more so.
Things like the extended 105mm gun are first installed on export-type tanks.
The Navy is no exception. It uses the YJ-8 anti-ship missile with a range of 40 kilometers for its own use. The exported C802 has a range of more than 100 kilometers, and the Navy has no use for it. After the final modification, the YJ-83
Consider it useful.
There are many reasons for this situation.
For example, the level of domestic arms is not high to begin with, and there is a big gap between it and the world's advanced level. If it shrinks further, it will definitely not be sold. Another example is that new equipment is risky, so sell it abroad first, so that
Foreign customers help verify and confirm that it is reliable before equipping it domestically, so that mature equipment can be used directly.
Therefore, Qin Tao didn't think it was a big problem. Unexpectedly, Wu Shengli actually had an opinion here. Do you disagree?
Qin Tao was a little curious, why didn't he agree?
"Currently, only the Sea Rattlesnake is allowed to be exported. You can equip customers with this equipment. Our Hongqi-16 currently has a very high level of confidentiality and will not obtain an export license."
What's the point of having a high level of confidentiality? Isn't it just a copycat of Schkili?
etc!
Qin Tao seemed to understand something.
"Does the Navy plan to use our Hongqi-16 as a trump card?" Qin Tao said: "As long as we don't tell the outside world, the outside world will not know the true performance of our Hongqi-16. We are still half-hiding our faces with the pipa and letting foreigners guess.
Maybe you overestimate our missile?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Once exported, various data on the weapons will be published, so there will be no secrets. For personal use, according to domestic practice, it needs to be kept secret, even confidential
a long time.
Even if it is the 054 frigate built by their Mingzhou Shipyard, no one knows the performance of the weapons on this frigate. Only the military personnel in charge of sea trials will know.
There is no secret about 051C. The tombstone-like shield on the back means that it is equipped with the S-300 missile system. There is no secret about 052. The weapons and equipment on it are originally from the West. Therefore, the current 054 is very useful to the navy.
Importantly, the secrets on it cannot be known to the outside world.
Wu Shengli nodded: "Yes, our navy's air defense has always been a weakness. Now, we finally have a self-developed weapon system, which is a vertical launch version. At least within ten years, this weapon system must be
It is absolutely confidential and no data can be leaked.”
Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, then we won't use the Red Flag-16. However, the sea rattlesnake is too useless!"
The Sea Sidewinder, which has a range of only a dozen kilometers, is enough to be mounted on a frigate of more than 2,000 tons. Currently, China State Shipbuilding Corporation will definitely bring this frigate to the Asian Defense Exhibition.
The frigates of the Mingzhou Group have a displacement of nearly 4,000 tons. They are also equipped with such a system, but they always feel that they are not domineering enough. At present, the export of warships relies on cost-effectiveness, and they will definitely lose.
If he goes out with the Hongqi-16, then Qin Tao will definitely get the order, and his trip will not be in vain. He originally thought it was just a domestic Shijili, but he didn't expect Wu Shengli to disagree. In this way, what happens next?
What, I'm really a little confused.
"What you want to build is an export-oriented foreign trade warship that can be equipped with foreign weapon systems. If we install the MK-41 launch system on the F-25T Naraisong'en frigate produced by Siam, won't we install it?" Wu Shengli thought.
Qin Tao said: "When you display the model to the outside world, you can also insert an MK-41 launch unit. Users will definitely like it."
Wu Shengli was a little curious. Qin Tao would not have thought of this common routine used by foreign trade warships.
Sure enough, Qin Tao shook his head firmly: "No, what we want to show is our own style. Our future foreign trade warships must be equipped with weapons and equipment produced by ourselves. We don't bother to install foreign weapon systems."
Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao with some surprise, his eyes seemed to be asking, are you serious?
Qin Tao responded with his eyes: Yes! This is our principle!
"If we use our own air defense weapon system, it would be the Kaishan-1 missile system." Wu Shengli said: "It's just that this weapon system has never received foreign orders, and it can't intercept low-altitude missiles.
The goal is to fly, so it is difficult to gain user approval."
Kaishan-1?
Of course Qin Tao knows this model.
For a long time, the main force of domestic air defense has been the Hongqi-2 surface-to-air missile system, which has made great achievements on the battlefield, but after all, Lian Po is old.
The company responsible for producing this missile is Jiangnan Aerospace Industry Group, which is also popularly known as Base 061. This base has long begun to develop modifications of this missile system.
First of all, the liquid engine used by the Hongqi-2 missile has too many limitations, so the missile was changed to solid fuel propulsion, and its appearance has changed greatly. In order to guide the missile, they are also equipped with a special SJ-
202 radar, and even the SJ-212 radar used during the Hongqi-9 test launch, are improvements of the former.
After it was developed, they introduced this missile system to the international market. In 1991, it was unveiled at the Paris Air Show and was named Kaishan-1.
However, it has not been recognized by any customers. After all, it still inherits the radio command guidance technology of the Hongqi-2 missile, which is already lagging behind in this era.
Hongqi-16 uses semi-active radar guidance, Hongqi-9 uses TVM guidance, and will soon transition to active seeker guidance. In this case, only the Kaishan-1 with radio command guidance can be used. Undoubtedly
It is primitive and backward.
However, the 061 base is not discouraged and continues to improve. Although its performance is not advanced enough, it is cheap! After all, a radio command guided missile only needs to be equipped with a radio command receiver. It is not like other missiles with complicated equipment.
expensive seeker.
Moreover, because they inherited the foundation of the Hongqi-2 missile, this missile has a range of more than 40 kilometers and is a proper medium-range missile. Therefore, they continued to improve it. After the 21st century, it was finally considered completely mature.
Even the Air Force equipped a batch of them and received the number HQ-12.
The current Kaishan-1 missile is actually not very mature yet, but people have been working hard. If a missile with a range of 40 kilometers is installed on an export-type frigate, it is also a pretty good indicator.
"It seems that we can only use this kind of missile at present." Qin Tao said: "It's easy to say other things, but the missile must use a launch box."
The early Kaishan-1 missile used an inclined launcher, which was very backward. After modification, it was replaced with a square launcher box. Now, if you want to get on a warship, you must be able to launch it vertically.
"If you have any ideas, I can contact you there right now." Wu Shengli said to Qin Tao.
Qin Tao shook his head: "No, let's wait until after the Chinese New Year."
"Do you have any other ideas?" Wu Shengli continued to ask.
"Others, of course, are available. If we have the right experts, we can design a conventional submarine and put it on display. Our Mingzhou Group can build all kinds of ships."
Qin Tao had already planned it.
Modifications of frigates, submarines, catamaran missile boats, etc. can all be displayed to show the style of Mingzhou Group!
At this moment, the sound of opening the door came from outside.
"Mom, Xiaoling, you are back." Qin Tao greeted the two of them.
"Well, Brother Tao, are you back so early today?"
"Taozi, you rest at home, I'll cook for you."
"Mom, didn't we invite Xiao Zheng? Just let her do it." Qin Tao said.
Xiao Zheng came out of the bathroom and wiped his hands on his apron: "Yes, Auntie, leave it to me, I can do anything."
This nanny, Xiao Zheng, whose name is Zheng Cuicui, is quite agile and diligent in her work, and everyone is very satisfied with it.
"When the villa community in Huating is built, we will move to the villa community. Xiaoling has been accustomed to living in a building with a yard since she was a child. In the future, we will also have to move to a small building with a yard." Qin Tao said.
"Taozi, are you planning to settle down in Huating?"
"Yes." Qin Tao said: "Anyway, I am running around. Xiaoling works in Huating. Of course, this family will be settled in Huating. The education here is much better than that in Mingzhou. Of course, if the two elders
If you are willing, you can transfer your child's household registration to the capital, and he can go to school there in the future."
"Of course, Taozi, your parents are busy. Mom can retire early. Anyway, there is nothing going on in the hospital in the compound. From now on, mom will take care of your children." After hearing Qin Tao's arrangement, Zhao Ling said
Mother was so happy.
"Mom, why are you talking about this now?" Zhao Ling was a little unhappy: "Besides, does Brother Tao agree?"
"Why don't you agree?" Qin Tao said generously: "I am the boss of the group, and my father has to listen to me."
Qin Tao is very energetic.
A few days later, Qin Baoshan also came over. Qin Tao's words were regarded as a joke. Although he was a leader, he was still very filial. Now as he grows older, even the old man rarely calls him.
Qin Tao's mother was a few days late. She was busy until the end of the year. She didn't come until New Year's Eve and left again on the second day of New Year's Day.
Zhao Ling was very touched. She knew that it was all because of herself that everyone came to Huating. Although she was worried about work, she must also take good care of the child in her belly and not make any mistakes.
