Chapter 1081 - Negotiation
"Haha, I see your skin is itchy again."
Fat Tiger, no, Chen Xiaoer raised his sand bowl-sized fist again and looked at Xiaoshanzi with a sneer.
This time the one who was beaten was Ming Zheng Fang Shun.
Even if the uncle was present, he would clap his hands and say "good job", and might even come up and kick the boy a few times himself.
Is there a traitor in the Chen family?
Is that something you can say?
So the fight is good, the fight is brilliant, and the fight is amazing.
"'Rookie', can I try this carrier-based aircraft?"
In the eyes of Sky Knight Ding Xiu, Chen Fei's tactical jet is a carrier-based combat aircraft. Although they have their own definitions, they are actually the same thing.
Chen Fei, who was beating Xiao Shanzi into a pig's head, raised his head and said calmly: "Of course!"
He is worthy of being called the tyrant of "Atlanta"!
The air knights were in a stable mood. It wasn't them who were getting beaten anyway, so they just behaved normally.
"Thank you!"
Even if he is an air knight, he would not lend his vehicle to others casually.
Because once any unexpected situation occurs, it will take a long time to repair and remanufacture. During this period of time, the combat effectiveness of the Sky Knight will be useless, so this situation must be avoided.
It is an unwritten rule in the Sky Knight circle that beloved cars, wives and machines are not allowed to be lent out.
But Chen Fei has hundreds and thousands of the latest versions of tactical jets in reserve. He is a mutant who can fight a war of attrition with the "Sagari" civilization head-on. The loss of one or two is nothing. If others want to borrow them, there is nothing wrong with that.
He kicked Xiao Shanzi to the ground again, and the medical staff waiting nearby took the opportunity to come forward, pack him up, and take him away...
Even though he is beaten like a pig now, when it is time for dinner, Chen Shan will be resurrected with full health as if nothing happened. The logistical service guarantee of the Sky Knight is regardless of price and cost.
The tactical jet smoothly soared into the sky again, climbed vertically, dived, flew through the field at ultra-low altitude, rolled, and recovered from a stall... It went back and forth over the exclusive airport of the National Defense Star for nearly half an hour, and finally returned to the ground.
This time it was a vertical landing, directly onto the tarmac.
The cockpit cover slowly opened, and without waiting for the ground crew to approach with a ladder, Ding Xiu flipped out and landed steadily on the ground.
"how do you feel?"
Sun Ruzheng was also somewhat curious about Lao Ding's experience evaluation.
Taking off his tactical helmet and breathing a few breaths of fresh air, Ding Xiu frowned slightly and said, "It's hard to say, how about you try it too?"
"Eh? It's hard to say? What does this mean?"
Sun Ruzheng was puzzled, but it did not stop him from using the ladder delivered by the ground crew to get into the cockpit of the tactical jet.
It also flew a circle in less than fifteen minutes and returned and landed quickly.
"This carrier-based aircraft... is quite interesting!"
When he returned to Chen Fei and Ding Xiu, Old Shen had a strange expression on his face.
Ding Xiu said tentatively: "Balance!"
"Yes!"
Sun Ruzheng clapped his hands, pointed at Ding Xiu and nodded vigorously, saying, "The performance is very balanced."
Then he looked at Chen Fei and said, "There are no obvious shortcomings, but there are no obvious advantages either. It's too balanced."
“Being average isn’t a good thing.”
Ding Xiu seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes widened, and he suddenly realized: "Chen Shan's characteristics are the same. His characteristic is that he has no characteristics!"
Shen Fei had a bewildered look on her face. The conversation between the two air knights sounded like a riddle to her, leaving everyone else completely confused.
Seeing his girlfriend's puzzled look, Chen Fei explained to her: "What they mean is that it is difficult for Chen Shan to have exclusive aerial combat skills. Being mediocre means being proficient in everything."
Because the tactical jet has not yet been finalized, Nangong's team does not know Chen Fei's unique air combat skills, or perhaps he does not have any at all, so the design plan tends to be conservative, and it is not surprising that a high degree of balance occurs.
Chen Shan has not yet passed the Sky Knight selection and training, and has not become a real Sky Knight. He is still standing outside the door. When he first comes into contact with the tactical jet, he feels that every aspect of it is very smooth, and it just matches the design balance of the tactical jet.
"Without exclusive aerial combat skills, wouldn't that be very mediocre?"
Although Shen Fei didn't know much about Sky Knight, he still knew some basic common sense.
Without exclusive air combat skills, even if you become an air knight, you cannot become a powerful air knight.
"It's not that there are no other ways. There is only one way to go. To do your best to improve all your characteristics, to be strong in every aspect and become a hexagonal air knight. You don't need exclusive air combat skills at all. Others' exclusive air combat skills will become yours. You have no obvious advantages. On the other hand, you have no obvious disadvantages or shortcomings."
Chen Fei's words made Ding Xiu and Sun Ruzheng show surprised expressions at the same time.
Either you fall into mediocrity or you become great.
The hexagon is perfect, so terrifying!
"That doesn't look very impressive!"
Shen Fei finally understood.
Chen Fei said solemnly: "Being at the top of the air knight field means being invincible in a sense."
If you look at the problem from a different angle, you will make new discoveries.
Being too balanced and having no characteristics is actually a characteristic.
"Yes, that's exactly the truth!"
"If you are willing to work harder, the future will be immeasurable."
Ding Xiu and Sun Ruzheng nodded at the same time, agreeing with Chen Fei's words.
After all, there is always a way out, and God will give you something to eat no matter what.
Ding Xiu hesitated for a moment and said, "I think your carrier-based aircraft is actually quite suitable for the Sky Knights who have just completed the trial training as an entry-level vehicle."
During the novice period of the Sky Knight, before officially customizing his own crystal jet, it would be great to have a well-balanced temporary mount as a transitional adaptation.
Apart from being overly balanced, the aircraft Chen Fei took out could almost completely be regarded as a crystal energy jet. This was a joint certification of the two Sky Knights Ding Xiu and Sun Ruzheng.
"No problem, I can give you a cost price!"
Chen Fei made an OK gesture in response. Some things are too costly to produce using supernatural powers, so the cost cannot be reduced to a very low price, but compared with products coming off industrial production lines, they are much cheaper.
Sovereignty had secured the technology pools of several aerospace manufacturers for him, and it was only natural that they would return the favor by supplying him tactical jets at cost price.
What's more, with the "Sagari" civilization as its formidable enemy at hand, every bit of combat power that the Blue Star civilization can gain is worth it. This is not a matter of money. Once humans fall into a disadvantage, money will be less than a toilet paper.
Shen Fei took the opportunity to say: "Our Northern Ordnance Industry Group can do OEM and provide after-sales service!"
After-sales service was the weak point of Chen Fei’s supernatural skills, but now, it’s perfect!
As expected of Vice President Shen, he is openly snatching business from the National Defense Star’s territory.
There was no one in charge of the National Defense Star on the tarmac, and the only person who could be in charge was beaten and had to recuperate, so he could only watch.
"Wait for the news! Lao Sun and I still have to compile the report first!"
It was impossible for Ding Xiu to promise anything now.
When it comes to purchasing aircraft, the two Sky Knights’ opinions have no weight and can only be regarded as an intention.
The real decision will have to be made by the top leaders of the Sovereign Air Force.
However, this news was soon known to Chen Fei's uncle.
"Let's all make money together. The Northern Weapons Industry shouldn't eat alone!"
There were not only Chen Fei and Shen Fei in the office, but also a video call with Shen Songling, deputy general manager of Northern Ordnance Industry Group. Chen Haiqing would not miss the opportunity to purchase a large order.
After all, the sovereign budget is limited. If you eat more, others will eat less. Even if a sudden large unplanned order may not actually occur, no one is willing to miss this possibility.
Both manufacturers have recognized the name "tactical jet". A jet that performs tactical missions can be land-based, sea-based, or air-based. There is nothing wrong with that. It does not necessarily have to be a carrier-based aircraft.
"Xiao Chen's tactical jet was designed by our staff, on our premises, and using our resources. It has nothing to do with the National Defense Star from the beginning to the end, right?"
Being able to sit in the position of vice president, Old Shen is no pushover. The design plan and all relevant technical information of the tactical jet are in the hands of Nangong's team, which means they are indirectly in the hands of the Northern Ordnance Industry Group. National Defense Star wants to snatch it without even considering the actual situation.
Chen Haiqing said calmly: "The tactical jet belongs to Chen Fei, and Chen Fei belongs to the Chen family."
Nangong Ruiyang and others are not the only ones who have access to all the technical documents of tactical jets. Chen Fei also has a complete synchronized backup.
"Everything has a first come, first served basis!"
Shen Songling's video call with Chen Haiqing was also connected to the board members of Northern Ordnance Industry. It involved the interests of the two manufacturers and it was impossible for a vice president like him to have the final say. The board of directors did not dare to grant this authority. The unit of amount for military purchases in the aerospace industry has always been "billion". Who would dare to hand it over to others casually?
If the chairman of National Defense Star could explain the family relationship, he might be able to get the technical documents related to tactical jets in Chen Fei's hands. Once the military decides to place an order, it is very likely that the two companies will compete for it.
The same performance, the same product, may trigger a price war. National Defense Star and Northern Ordnance Industry will have a hard time even getting some soup, let alone getting some meat.
"Why don't we both take a step back? I'll take seven and you three. Anyway, we can always get the technical information, and your Northern Weapons Industry has not yet established a project."
As the negotiating representative of National Defense Star, Chen Haiqing seems to still have the initiative.
Who made the Northern Ordnance Industry Group not set up a project for tactical jets and not invest a single penny in it? Now that something they didn't want was snatched away by others, who can they blame?
The establishment of the National Defense Star project was just a matter of a word from the chairman. Even before the call, the R&D team was assembled, all of them were big names. Even the R&D budget was prepared, benchmarked against the average cost of the Crystal Energy Jet. Regardless of whether it would succeed in the end, they had already secured the spot first.
There is never any mercy in commercial conquests.
Even if someone from the Chen family marries the only daughter of the vice president of the Northern Ordnance Industry Group, don't expect the head of the family, Chen Haiqing, to show leniency to the other party.
"You have three and I have seven. You wish. I have nine and you have one."
Shen Songling got the tip from the board of directors, isn't it just to ask for a sky-high price and pay back the money? Who can't do that?
"How can we talk like that? Why don't we just split it in half? You get half and we get half. If you don't want to do that, then we can each do it based on our own abilities."
Chen Haiqing shook his head at the Northern Ordnance Industry's excessive demands. If they continued to talk like this, the situation would eventually break down. He might as well just go all the way and state his bottom line. Otherwise, a war would start and he would end up with a bloody fight, which would be his own fault.
"..."
Chen Haiqing's decisiveness in killing made Shen Songling hesitate.
The status of both parties in their respective companies is asymmetric. Chen Haiqing can make decisions on his own, but Shen Songling does not have such great authority. However, he is the person behind the Nangong team, so he represents the Northern Ordnance Industry to talk to the bigwigs of National Defense Star.
After a moment's silence, Shen Songling finally got the joint resolution of the board of directors.
"Fifty-fifty, deal!"
Shen Songling also breathed a sigh of relief. This negotiation result was actually expected from the beginning, but both sides wanted to fight for it. If they succeeded, it would be a huge profit.
"Um...can I say something?"
Chen Fei suddenly spoke.
"Any questions? Oh, by the way, don't worry, your share, neither of our families will treat you unfairly."
Of course, Chen Haiqing would not take his family's things for free, and would definitely give generous rewards.
At the same time, Vice President Shen of the Northern Ordnance Industry Group also nodded. Mr. Chen would not mistreat his own children, and he would not mistreat his future son-in-law. They should fight for what they should fight for, and of course they would not sacrifice Chen Fei's personal interests to fulfill the group company. What's more, Mr. Chen of National Defense Star would not agree to it.
"What I mean is... I will provide the complete tactical jets and spare parts, and you two families will only be responsible for maintenance services."
Chen Fei finally had the opportunity to speak his true thoughts.
The number of tactical jets in reserve by "Space Brand" can fully meet the needs of sovereignty, and they are all in stock and can be delivered immediately. There is no need for the National Defense Star and the Northern Weapons Industry to arrange production plans.
Uncle Chen Haiqing: "..."
Vice President Shen of Northern Ordnance Industry Group and the board of directors: "..."
Good man, both parties finally reached a barely satisfactory result, but this little brother took away the meat, soup and pot together.
What did the two manufacturers earn in the end after all their efforts?
Just for that little bit of labor fee?
