Chapter 191 Times have changed, Davari
After Chen Hao finished speaking, everyone realized that the content of the next communication would turn to specific exchange conditions.
Arik nodded slightly to Sergei, the administrative officer on the side. After a slight pause, he spoke:
"Dear Mr. Chen, after we received your project plan in the early stage, we have organized a preliminary discussion on the cooperation methods between the two parties. The following are the requirements and conditions put forward by us."
"First of all, we require a seat in the core project participation, and we need to obtain the right to share and use the core results in the field of R&D."
"Secondly, we require priority exclusivity for projects, that is, if the subsequent Nantianmen project needs to introduce other partners, it must first be discussed by both of us."
"In terms of partner selection, we ask for the right to suggest - of course, what we want to obtain is a veto, but given the actual situation, we will not mention this unnecessary request to waste everyone's time."
This joke just rightly diluted the tension when Chen Hao communicated with Ariksai before. Seeing that the Chinese representatives participating in the meeting showed a smile that they understood, he continued to say with confidence.
"Based on the above requirements, we have also prepared conditions with sincerity."
"First of all, there are preferential purchase rights and supply rights for oil, natural gas and other resources. We will ensure that you can unconditionally import oil and natural gas resources from my country during the period of the Nantianmen project. This limit will be discussed specifically in subsequent negotiations."
"In addition, we will provide the most adequate personnel support for the Nantianmen project, including but not limited to scientific researchers in the aerospace industry, materials science, mathematics and physics, etc.."
"Finally, we will sell some technologies, which are related to the phased achievements of the Nantianmen project and can help the Nantianmen project quickly overcome some technical difficulties."
"I can provide some simple examples here, such as nuclear aero engines, high-thrust engines, simulation and simulation algorithm fields. We all have very advanced technical achievements, and I think you will be interested."
"These technologies are our greatest sincerity. I think their weight can be exchanged for a core seat in the Nantianmen project."
After listening to Sergei's words, Chen Hao shook his head and replied briefly:
“This is not enough.”
"Of course, of course, it is normal for you to think it is not enough, but this is an early negotiation, and we all need to compromise on the conditions and demands of both parties, right?"
"Maybe, you can also raise your demands so that we can discuss more easily."
Sergei still had a smile on his face. Of course, he knew that this early exchange would not go so smoothly, and he had room for his time when he proposed the conditions.
In terms of resources, it only explains what will be given, but it does not explain how much it will be given.
In terms of talent, it only explains the personnel support, but does not explain how to use it.
In terms of technology, it only explains what you have, but does not say what you can give.
Such negotiation methods will give him great initiative because he has shown sincerity and has not revealed his trump card.
But what he didn't expect was that Chen Hao didn't seem to pay much attention to his conditions. After a slight pause, Chen Hao spoke:
"First of all, we cannot accept that you enter the core field and do not accept that you have shared cores. The highest level you can enter can only be the sub-core level."
"Secondly, even if you only enter the sub-core field, the conditions you provide are not enough. We need to add one more to the conditions you have proposed."
"We hope to build a special base for the Nantianmen project in the Northeast region. This base will span the borders of both parties and be jointly managed by both parties."
"Given that the project requires a vast experimental site, the base area should reach more than 300,000 square kilometers, of which 100,000 square kilometers are located in my country."
Hearing Chen Hao's words, Xiong Fang's representative on the screen was stunned, his heart full of doubts, shock, and anger.
Of course they know what the so-called dedicated base means, and more importantly, what the so-called joint management means.
What they couldn't understand was how did these rabbits dare to make such a request?
Isn’t the technology transfer enough to satisfy their appetite?
That’s right, the Nantianmen project has a great vision and a lot of resources and funds invested, but just for such a project, it’s far from reaching the point where they have to pay such a big price, right?
Ariksai forced his anger down and tried to speak in a steady tone:
"Mr. Chen, I think the request you put forward is impossible to achieve, and it has exceeded our bottom line. In addition, I am very curious, Mr. Chen Hao, as a decision maker today, do you know the weight of the technology transfer we just mentioned?"
Ariksai's eyes were staring at Chen Hao, his eyes were cold, not only because of the other party's request to cross the line, but also another reason.
From the other party's attitude, he vaguely felt a contempt for them.
Guru
Or, contempt for technology.
This should not exist.
Even if China has more resources and more funds, they are still far ahead of these rabbits in terms of technology, especially in the field of aviation technology.
In such a situation, why do you despise us?
We were the first to make nuclear engines and the first to operate stably from heaven.
High thrust engines, our nk-32 is one of the world's most advanced small bypass ratio engines, with this engine, our big white goose can even fly at a speed of Mach 2 for long-term supersonic speed.
The same is true for simulation algorithms. In essence, the basis of simulation simulation software is mathematics, and our mathematicians are definitely world-class.
With such a great advantage, we have put these technical achievements in front of you, but you haven't even looked at them, and even said that they are not enough?
This is a bit ungrateful.
Looking at Chen Hao on the screen, Ariksai quietly waited for his answer.
However, the other party did not reply immediately. He just touched the earlobe inadvertently with his hands. After a moment of silence, he spoke:
"We fully understand the weight of the technology you are talking about, but we also understand the shortcomings of these technologies."
"First of all, let's start with the high-thrust engine, nk-32, which should be the target of the technology sale you mentioned. However, from our perspective, the shortcomings of this engine are as obvious as its advantages."
"The three-rotor structure is very creative, but an engine that does not even have hollow air-cooled structures and single-crystal turbofan blades is really not an advanced engine."
"In addition, regarding nuclear-powered engines, as far as I know, the technical basis of your nuclear-powered engine is the "Haiyan" nuclear-powered cruise missile. This nuclear-powered turbojet solution is simple and crude, with huge pollution, and cannot meet our project needs at all."
"The third point is your simulation model algorithm. It is not convenient for me to evaluate this point because I don't know the specific information, but I only know one fact."
"No matter how advanced your algorithm is, it cannot be more advanced than the algorithm we have."
"So, do you still think we don't understand the weight of technology now? It is because we know the weight of these technologies that we will tell you directly that this alone is not enough."
"If you are unwilling to accept our plan, you can continue to increase your investment in technical transfer, but I doubt the effect of doing so."
"I think you know this simple economic principle, right?"
After listening to Chen Hao--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The other party's evaluation of technology was not wrong, and it can even be said that it clearly pointed out the core problems of those three technologies, which made him unable to refute it for a while.
However, he vaguely grabbed another point.
This point is the core of today's negotiations.
Yes, our technology has various defects, but you have never even owned these defective technologies.
Thinking of this, he spoke:
"Mr. Chen, if you think our technology has various flaws, then I would like to ask, do you have technologies that surpass us, or have the ability to develop these technologies within a period of time?"
“If neither, I suggest you reconsider our conditions.”
Chen Hao nodded slightly and replied:
"It's you who need to rethink our conditions."
"Here, I want to remind you of a fact."
"Your technology is no longer as out of reach as you think you are."
"Yes, we have not mastered more advanced technology than you."
"But even if it is not today, not this year, one day in the very, very near future, we will surpass you."
"Everyone, stop immersing in your former glory anymore. Let us really talk about the conditions from a fair perspective."
