Chapter 1327 Contact Feelings 1
After the meeting, everyone had lunch together; knowing that there was still business to do, they didn't drink. After all, the exhibition will start the day after tomorrow, and some buyers also need to contact each other in advance. An airplane is not a small object. It requires constant inspection, comparison, and analysis before placing an order. If there is no preliminary preparation, who can recognize your product.
Although Bao Zixuan will mainly stay at United Airlines for this exhibition, it is still necessary to meet old friends in advance. Many times they are needed to support the scene, which can be regarded as a support.
Prince Sultan, as the head of the Saudi military, will definitely come to Paris, the world's number one air show, to participate. Although the two separated not long ago, there are still some things that need to be communicated in advance. The last time he went to Xiangjiang, Prince Sultan gained a lot. At least some entrepreneurs in Xiangjiang have sent inspection teams to Saudi Arabia; the current negotiations are going very smoothly, and signing the contract is only a matter of time.
It is easy to make a country rich by relying on oil alone; but it is still very difficult to achieve prosperity. Therefore, if we want to achieve national prosperity and strength, we must not be controlled by others; we must develop diversified and have a complete industrial system. Because of several Middle East wars and contacts with the richest man, the Saudi royal family saw that it did not have its own industrial system. When you encounter a real crisis, you won't be in a hurry and have no solution.
If you want to have a say in the world in the future, you must be strong; you must be self-sufficient in weapons, equipment, and food supplies. Europe and the United States have never trusted Arab countries. Cutting-edge weaponry, technology, and production lines will definitely not be placed in Saudi Arabia. Fortunately, relevant technology can be introduced from Heiyun Group, and this is the purpose of coming here.
The Saudi royal family has made a comprehensive analysis. Regarding weapons and equipment production factories, Heiyun does not have many choices.
It is a very sad thing for a person to have huge wealth but not have the ability to protect it. The same goes for rising to the level of a country; not long ago, the United States issued a warning. Why is it reducing its holdings instead of continuing to buy U.S. Treasury bonds?
As a member of the royal family of a country, the first priority should be the construction of the country's infrastructure and the happiness index of the people. Now it is impossible not to buy the treasury bonds issued by the United States. It is really bullying. But there is no other way but to squeeze out a billion dollars from other places to deal with it.
To forge iron, we need to be strong ourselves, and we must improve our own industrial and military supporting systems; otherwise we will always be oppressed by the Americans.
As for Fucaira, because the land area is limited, even if military factories are built, it is estimated that there will only be a few and they will not be large-scale.
From a comprehensive analysis, Saudi Arabia is still more suitable for establishing high-end military factories. If Saudi Arabia can become an arms exporter in the future, the image and strength of the entire country will inevitably rise to more than one level.
There are already signs of this, and desert and swamp versions of ground-effect aircraft are produced in Saudi Arabia. This is a big step for the Saudi military industry. Not being able to rely on oil forever is a national strategy that the Saudi royal family has long formulated. Therefore, we must seize this opportunity, otherwise the next time may be when.
Prince Sultan came to the villa where Bao Zixuan was staying and said with a smile: "You still have an idea, which will not only facilitate work, but also play a role in publicity invisibly. Yesterday, I heard several aircraft manufacturing companies mention you here. . They also want to build hotels and set up offices nearby. I guess the French government should be grateful to you, which invisibly hinders the development of local economic law."
As a member of the royal family who owns villas in most places around the world; building luxury is just that for Prince Sultan. But being able to have major aircraft manufacturing companies follow suit is enough to show that this kid in front of him has once again led the way; he has already made a lot of money from the land alone.
Moreover, the intangible wealth gained by the four companies is even more immeasurable. Now many people are talking about what is going on with several companies. Today alone, many people came over and were invited to this hotel; most people would not refuse. This is more exciting than the increase in land value.
Aircraft manufacturing companies are not short of money. It's just that I didn't expect it before, and now I find out that Heiyun Group has done something like this; it has such an effect, so of course I will rush to follow up. Invisibly, the influence of the richest man has been improved.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I just thought that there are too many employees coming to participate in the exhibition, and the number of nearby hotels is limited. I might as well build one myself to reduce the pressure on the Paris government."
"I haven't thought about anything else. Besides, Paris is also a tourist city; it can still receive some tourists, so it's the best of both worlds."
"I heard that you have been here for a long time. How do you feel this time?"
As a major importer of military industry, to be precise, the world's largest importer of military industry is almost the same. The first person in the Saudi royal family and military, he will be warmly welcomed wherever he goes. After all, they have real money, and there is indeed a huge demand for weapons and equipment.
Therefore, wherever Prince Sultan goes, he is a guest of major aircraft manufacturing companies; it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most important customer. If there is anything good, you must show it to him in advance. As the biggest potential buyer, no one dares to offend, for fear of being neglected.
Prince Sultan said with a smile: "I took a look, but they are all similar. At present, Saudi Arabia is in urgent need of hypersonic air bombers, prevention and control missiles, large transport aircraft, and third-generation beyond-visual-range fighter jets."
"Among them, over-the-horizon fighter jets are not that urgent yet. After all, the inventory we have now can be used for ten or eight years without any problem. Although we have the HH-01 Phantom fighter bomber, this thing is too expensive. Even if Saudi Arabia supports Wealthy, but also a bit too much to bear. Therefore, we need a hypersonic combat bomber that can frighten surrounding enemies after taking off, and it is also a kind of protection for ourselves."
Better understanding of missile prevention and control. After all, there is an enemy aircraft coming over, and when the fighter planes have no time to take off, the effect of the missile is reflected.
We have ground-effect aircraft, but large military transport aircraft are still very important. After all, ground-effect aircraft have a limited flying height and are not suitable for long-distance cross-city delivery. Especially if the distance between two cities is blocked by mountains or there are too many high-rise buildings along the way, then the ground effect aircraft will not be able to do anything at all.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "If there is no rush for the third-generation beyond visual range fighter jet, Heiyun Group intends to jointly develop it with Saudi Arabia. The factory is built in Saudi Arabia, and we have reached a technology exchange agreement with Dassault of France. At this time, Heiyun Group has obtained a complete set of technical drawings of Rafale fighter jets, and now it only needs to find a place to build a factory to produce them. Based on our relationship, it is more appropriate to build it in Saudi Arabia."
"After the Paris Air Show, I will go to Eastern Europe and then enter the Soviet Union. From the Soviet Union to the Middle East, we can discuss the specific details then. You can discuss it with the royal family members when you go back. Then we will see where the land is more suitable. Wait until I can just go over and sign the agreement.”
"As for defense and control missiles, you can go to the United States to buy Standard-2 defense and control missiles. I guess they will definitely ask a lot of questions and will not sell them in the end. Then you can go directly to the Soviet exhibition hall and buy S-300 air defense missiles from them. Although it is Lao Maozi's most advanced anti-aircraft missile; but I have a way to get the Soviet military to agree to this deal. And as far as I know, the S-300 anti-aircraft missile is cheaper than the American Standard-2 anti-aircraft missile, but its performance is more advanced .”
"If four S-300 air defense missile regiments are deployed in Saudi Arabia, the entire territory's air defense can basically be covered. But the Soviet Union itself does not have much of this kind of equipment. Therefore, it can take a step back and purchase two regiments first; But the price will not be cheap, it will cost about US$3 billion."
"As for transport aircraft, which is easier to deal with, you can first go to the United States and try to purchase a C5 transport aircraft. If the other party agrees, then as long as the price is right, you can buy it. But I guess the Americans will not let go easily. You can go to the Soviet Union to purchase Il-76 transport aircraft."
"Currently, there are not many items that require strategic transportation in Saudi Arabia, and the IL-76 can fully meet combat needs."
"The hypersonic bomber fighter first went to General Dynamics of the United States to see if their F-111 Aardvark would be sold to Saudi Arabia; but it was more of a test, and the real purpose was still a Soviet product. The Tu-22M Backfire fighter is definitely This is one of the most advanced fighter-bombers in the world; it's just that the Soviet electronic components are not good; even so, it is definitely enough to deter neighboring countries. Moreover, Fucaira has reached an agreement with the Soviet Union; four of them have been exchanged. Heiyun Group is responsible for modernization improvements, and we can cooperate in this regard."
