Chapter five hundred and forty-two contract signing
Zhang Haiping and several other military personnel accompanied Malitagu, deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense of XX, and his three members arrived at Tianfeng Technology Company to discuss the ordering of the "Black Ghost" drone.
In fact, things have basically been decided. Previously, Tianfeng Technology's offer was US$300 million per aircraft, and now the two sides are just discussing some details.
In the reception room, it was as warm as spring. Everyone was having a relaxing conversation. The atmosphere was relatively relaxed. Zhang Haiping and Li Tianfeng were old acquaintances. Everything was not so formal. Even if there were guests present, they were far less solemn and dull.
Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, Minister Maritagu is a big customer, and they want to order eight "Black Ghost" drones."
Li Tianfeng was slightly shocked. The number was completely beyond Li Tianfeng's expectations. Originally, Li Tianfeng estimated that the other party's order quantity should be three or five drones. He did not think that the other party needed eight "black ghosts", which was a small surprise.
Maritagu noticed Li Tianfeng's expression and couldn't help but ask with a little worry: "Mr. Li, are there any problems?"
Li Tianfeng smiled and said, "No problem, of course there is no problem."
Maritagu immediately felt relaxed and said happily: "If there is no problem with quantity, let's talk about the delivery date and delivery method."
Li Tianfeng nodded.
Maritagu Road: "Mr. Li, you also know the situation in the Middle East. We urgently need such advanced drones. We hope to start delivering within six months, delivering two a month until the delivery is completed. Is there any problem with this?"
Li Tianfen agreed readily: "Okay, there is no problem."
Maritagu Road "Okay, there is no problem with this aspect. Is it the most happy thing about the delivery method?"
Li Tianfeng said: "We control the 'Black Ghost' drone and fly directly to your country. The delivery method is not a problem."
Maritagu patted his head gently, "Oh, I almost forgot that the 'Black Ghost' drone not only has amazing ranges, but also has excellent stealth performance. We like this delivery method."
Everyone smiled, and Li Tianfeng was the same. He smiled happily.
The entire negotiation process went very smoothly. The XX country ordered a total of 8 "Black Ghost" drones, with a unit price of US$300 million, including flight control system, post-production technical guidance and training, and the eight "Black Ghost" drones totaled US$2.4 billion.
Li Tianfeng was happy when the contract was signed, and Maritagu was also very happy. Even Maritagu said that if Tianfeng Technology Company develops and produces fighter jets, they would also want to order a batch.
Li Tianfeng joked that the J-20 fighter was good, you can order this fighter. Li Tianfeng found that when he said this, Maritagu's eyes lit up obviously.
After Maritagu and his party left, Li Tianfeng thought to himself that he didn't know what agreement had been reached between the top leaders of the two countries, but it must have been the country that won great benefits through this.
In the office.
Li Tianfeng was looking at a document when Sun Kang knocked on the door and walked in. Sun Kang smiled and said, "Tianfeng, today's contract was signed so smoothly. It's so cool!"
Li Tianfeng said: "I guess the other party must have exchanged oil, otherwise, there would be so much money."
Li Tianfeng expected that it was not bad. The other party did exchange oil for it, and converted the oil into US dollars and sold it to the Chinese side. The money was transferred from an account to the account of Tianfeng Technology Company.
Sun Kang said: "It's better to have oil, $2.4 billion, and the other party doesn't blink for a moment. He also wants to order our fighter jets in the future."
Li Tianfeng said: The fighter jets will definitely be banned from being sold, and it is impossible for any country to buy them."
Sun Kang nodded and understood this.

Compared with the design and development of new fighter jets, the newly developed gas turbine engine of Tianfeng Technology Company is progressing much faster. At present, all the design work has been basically completed.
The progress is so rapid, on the one hand, it has the experience and foundation of rq2000 and rq800 gas turbine engines, and has ready-made core engines. On the other hand, it is mainly because this aviation engine R&D team has strong technical strength and is focusing on research and development and design, so it is naturally very fast.
At the end of last year, he received the design and R&D task and basically completed the comprehensive design in just three or four months, even Li Tianfeng's eyes lit up.
During the entire design process, Li Tianfeng rarely intervened. Even after completing the design technical outline, Li Tianfeng only looked at it and gave some advice.
The comprehensive design has been basically completed. Li Tianfeng carefully read the design information and design drawings of this gas turbine engine.
For several days, Li Tianfeng basically stayed in the aviation engine R&D design center, design general drawings, important and key parts design drawings, etc. Li Tianfeng read them all.
In Li Tianfeng's opinion, the design of this gas turbine engine is very successful. It is a very excellent gas turbine engine. Looking around the world, it is definitely a first-class among the top.
"Well, the design is good. It seems that the entire aviation engine research and development team has grown up and can completely stand alone." Li Tianfeng thought to himself.
After reading this series of drawings and design materials, Li Tianfeng only gave little suggestions for modification and improvement because this engine was designed very successfully.
Even Li Tianfeng specially called Sun Xiaoping, Qiu Wen'an and others over and praised everyone in person.
After Li Tianfeng read these drawings, the rq7500 gas turbine engine quickly completed the comprehensive design. Tianfeng Technology Company organized a design review internally, and then the military conducted design acceptance.
The military's design acceptance was successfully passed, and the design of this gas turbine engine was fully completed. Then it began to enter the comprehensive trial production and verification stage at the Shuikou County production base. In the future, mass production will also be carried out in Shuikou County.

Tianfeng Technology Company, after the first "Black Ghost" drone was officially delivered to the military, the second "Black Ghost" drone was also successfully delivered, and the third "Black Ghost" drone entered the assembly, everything was orderly and very smooth.
The production of the export-type "Black Ghost" drone has also begun. The export-type changes are very small for production. The parts are still those parts, just a little change in stealth materials and a little change in airborne equipment.
The production and manufacturing of airborne equipment are manufactured by relevant manufacturers. After Tianfeng Technology Company communicated with these manufacturers, it was heard that some requirements were reduced. These manufacturers said that there was no problem, and this was not a problem.
The XX country in the Middle East became the first foreign user of the "Black Ghost" drone. I don't know how the news was revealed about this. After learning about the incident, the United States, Japan and other countries protested internationally.
However, the protests are ineffective because the United States is not the same in exporting weapons and equipment. Only neighboring countries in China purchase a large amount of weapons and equipment from the United States every year.
Why can't I do if the United States can exert its power? After a few days of verbal battles in the international community, the matter was left in the end.
After this incident, the reputation of the "Black Ghost" drone became even more impressive. At the same time, when hearing about the export of "Black Ghost" drone, many countries expressed a strong desire to buy.
Among them, the country that most wants to buy the "Black Ghost" drone is Pakistan. Of course, India also expressed its desire to buy this drone, but Li Tianfeng himself could not make the decision on who it could be sold to, so he could only follow the instructions above.
The "Black Ghost" drone is very popular in the international market. This is a good thing, and Li Tianfeng is happy.
With such a good momentum, it is really possible that there will be a second international user soon, but I don’t know who is the second lucky one.

Southwest, an air force base.
Early in the morning, the Chaoyang in the distance showed half of his smile. In the flight control and command center of the base, the instruments and equipment were turned on, and everyone took their place and all entered the state.
In the distance, the door of a hangar slowly opened. Looking inside the door, you can see that there is a brand new "Black Ghost" drone inside the hangar. It can be seen from the number of the aircraft that this is the second "Black Ghost" delivered to the military.
The hangar gate opened, and several ground crew members were doing the final preparations. After some inspection, the "Black Ghost" drone was slowly pulled out of the hangar and parked on the long runway. The rising sun shone on the drone, as if a layer of beautiful gold yarn was put on.
Flight Control Command Center.
A colonel looked serious and said loudly: "Do you understand today's mission?"
A loud voice sounded: "I understand!"
The colonel looked at the watch, then looked outside, thinking in his heart, the preparations should be almost done, Sure enough, a lieutenant walked over quickly and reported loudly: "Captain, everything is ready, our 'Black Ghost' drone can take off."
After saying that, the lieutenant saluted a standard military salute, then turned around and walked out quickly.
Looking at the back of the lieutenant, the colonel nodded gently and looked at the entire flight control command center. Seeing that everyone was waiting for their own orders, the colonel said loudly: "Prepare to take off! Target Area 1!"
The order was issued, and the operators who were already in place were immediately busy, and various voices kept coming and entering the colonel's ears.
"The system connection is successful!"
"System starts!"
"Beidou Navigation is on!"
“Engine starts!”
“…”
Everyone's operations were dazzled, but everything seemed more proficient and orderly. It was obviously because they had been trained many times, otherwise, they would not have such proficiency.
The "Black Ghost" drone was successfully launched. Driven by two turbofans 21bs, the drone began to accelerate on the runway, facing the rising sun, jumped up from the runway, and flew into the distance...
