Chapter 1723 Turning the Peak (Part 2)

This endless phone call made Guo Tailai puzzled for a while, what does it mean? Charles knows, what does this imply?

Guo Tailai shook his head, put aside all guesses, and continued to visit and investigate.

It has to be said that this American gas turbine is indeed mature, and mature technology means stable and reliable, so the potential will continue to be tapped in the future. It is not too far in the future, starting this year, they will start the research of LM2500+G4, and further increase the output power to 47,370 horsepower, which is just a little bit worse than MT30, and it will be a model for growing old.

Guo Tailai is actually very satisfied with this gas turbine. Anyway, as long as he can use it and the price is right, he will be absolutely satisfied. The most basic purpose has been achieved, whichever one can be bought counts.

Old Finn said hello, so the vice president was very enthusiastic. Knowing that Guo Tailai was a customer who was willing to spend money, he could fawn on him. There are no other requirements except that it should not be used for military purposes, that it should be inspected from time to time during installation and normal operation, and that regular maintenance needs to be done by General Electric.

To put it bluntly, this is a civilian yacht, and it has nothing to do with the military. This kind of technical blockade is actually very loose. It's not exporting technology, but exporting products, which can make money, why not?

As for the technical blockade, the Wassenaar Agreement and so on, aren't there various restrictions? There is a high breach of contract clause in the contract, and if it is used for other purposes, high liquidated damages will be compensated. What's more, Guo Tailai took away the gas turbine, what would he use for his big yacht? Use Huaxia's dog head?

The next step must be to negotiate the price and contract terms. Obviously, a big boss like Guo Tailai would not do this kind of thing. This is the job of senior assistant Lin Jiayi and her team. The boss just needs to decide which one to use. Naturally, the negotiating and legal teams will take care of things.

Speaking of which, Guo Tailai actually has another serious business in coming to the United States, which is the signing of the contract for the acquisition of AMC Cinemas. Now Lin Jiayi's team has signed a framework contract during the Spring Festival, and half a month is enough time for the old Finn to take the 5% that Guo Tailai gave to the young Finn to settle the trade committee's troubles.

This is an acquisition involving Americans, and it is only a theater chain, without any confidential technology involved. How can the United States, as the vane of the market economy, do things to veto the market economy?

Therefore, a legal team will be sent here first to slowly perfect the contract. Guo Tai came to sign the acquisition contract, and Lin Jiayi reviewed the GE contract before signing.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it has reached the point of discussing detailed terms, basically this should be almost the same. Guo Tailai will buy two latest LM2500+ gas turbines with 42,000 horsepower. Combined, the power of the gas turbine is 84,000 horsepower, the power of the diesel engine is 20,000 horsepower, and the total power is 104,000 horsepower. Its 94,000 horsepower is a full 10,000 horsepower more.

It's a pity that it's not MT30, otherwise, the wild power of 120,000 horsepower can be much higher than the fastest speed of 31.5 knots of Azzam, and it is definitely worthy of the title of the fastest mega yacht. However, this power is enough now. After all, it has 10,000 horsepower more, but the total tonnage is only 1,000 tons more. The advantage is very obvious.

Just when Guo Tailai, Little Finn and General Electric felt that there would be no change in the contract, Guo Tailai received a call from Charles.

"What do you mean?" Guo Tailai, who was flying to Los Angeles on a private plane, couldn't help being stunned when he heard Charles' request.

Charles actually asked Guo Tailai to suspend the negotiation and purchase with General Electric first. At this moment, did things change? After Charles' explanation, Guo Tailai finally understood what happened.

It sounds like a simple benefit. Rolls-Royce Engines hopes to sell MT30 gas turbines. This is an order close to 50 million US dollars. It seems that the money is not much, but this level of gas turbines is really a market where you can buy one. To know this gas turbine, it was not until 2019 that the fiftieth MT30 was celebrated off the assembly line. As for the mature LM2500, it has only sold more than 2,000 units in the world for decades. To be able to sell two units at a time is definitely a very important thing for Luo Luo.

Rolls-Royce Engines tried to apply to the Trade and Industry Commission to release the order, but many people in the UK had to choose to reject the order under strong pressure from the United States. However, Luo Luo is really not reconciled. Guo Tailai's whereabouts are not very secretive, and he can find out with a little attention. As soon as Luo Luo found out, Guo Tailai actually went to Boston, USA, and visited the headquarters of General Electric?

What does it mean? Luo Luo stopped working here for a while, and with all kinds of pressure from you Americans, we are not allowed to sell gas turbines to Guo Tailai. The ultimate goal is to sell your products? It would be fine if it was an old LM2500, but Luo Luo found out through Charles that what Guo Tailai was inspecting was the latest LM2500+. How could Luo Luo feel so embarrassed?

Everyone is the latest product, you do everything possible to prevent me from selling it, but it's just to sell your product? This is too shameless, right? It's true that everyone is a competitor, but you can't use this method nakedly, right?

They are all sold to one customer. The United States requires supervision and installation, regular inspections, and original factory maintenance. Luoluo also requires Guo Tailai in the same way, and there is even a stricter installation of GPS modules. Everyone is the same. For the manufacturers of the camp, the restrictions and restrictions are all restrictions and restrictions. Why can't you sell them if you can sell them? This is why everyone has to chatter.

Of course, Luo Luo was not convinced, and immediately reported the situation to the British Trade and Industry Committee, and even began to mobilize his own energy to lobby members of Congress. It is true that you, Great America, insist on being king and hegemony, but our empire on which the sun never sets is not a vegetarian either! Council of Trade and Industry, does this matter have to be reconsidered? Are the interests of the United Kingdom or the interests of the United States important? Do Brits have British votes, or do Americans have British votes?

This new situation made the officials of the Trade and Industry Committee have to think carefully. Although they did not give a definite answer immediately, the request to reconsider the order for Rolls-Royce engines was passed, that is to say, the above will Reconsider the sale of MT30 gas turbines.

Charles' phone call was to tell Guo Tailai that there were twists and turns in the MT30 matter, or there might be an opportunity, so Guo Tailai should not rush to settle down and wait and see.

wait! Guo Tailai agreed without hesitation, no fool would wait. Guo Tailai has a chance if both sides pinch each other! At the very least, can we talk about the price? What's more, Guo Tailai was interested in MT30 at the beginning. Since he has the opportunity, he must wait!
