C1385 We Want Titanium Alloy
The old man in front of him was an extremely difficult opponent to deal with. Although he wasn't the number one figure in Bear Country, he was able to influence the political situation of Bear Country, and could even decide the next candidate of Bear Country.
Now, this man had personally come out, showing how much importance he attached to this matter. If this negotiation failed, the outcome would be very terrifying. A war might really break out.
"I'm a businessman. I think we can look at this matter from the perspective of business. Not from politics, diplomacy, I don't understand politics. I don't know diplomacy either" Qin Guan said, "I just know that if we want to talk business, both sides have to be sincere. This is the premise. When we do business, in order to reach an agreement, both parties will compromise and make concessions. Without this premise, then, there's no way to talk about it."
That's right, you have a lifetime of rich diplomatic experience, but in my eyes, that's useless. We're just talking business. Whether business talks or not, it depends on everyone's sincerity. Don't try to be diplomatic, I won't... I don't want to either.
"President Qin, I've heard of your name before. Now, you really live up to your reputation." Andre started to pay attention to him.
Qin Guan's words just now had made Andre's life experience in politics useless. The other party had restarted the model and started a business conversation.
"No, no, I'm just a young kid who doesn't know anything."
"Now, we want to know how the situation of our Electronic Reconnaissance Aircraft is." Andre asked Qin Guan.
This time he came to negotiate. There were two projects that he could not retreat from. One was the Electronic Reconnaissance Aircraft, and the other was the cargo on that ship.
Now, KGB had some news. They said that the Han people had given the Electronic Reconnaissance Aircraft to Y Country. If that was the case, then they would never let Han Country go!
After Andre finished speaking, he added, "It's similar to the situation in the Flying Leopard bomber purchased from Silver Country. We do not wish to see it happen. We can't tolerate it either. The negotiation this time... You said it's a business problem, so we'll talk about it according to the business problem. However, it can also turn into a diplomatic problem at any time, or even a military problem! "
Of course, it was impossible to fool the Bear Country like the Silver Country. There was no impenetrable wall. In this world, the strongest intelligence agency was the KGB!
Qin Guan smiled." That Electronic Reconnaissance Aircraft broke into our country's airspace. It maliciously crashed into our fighter aircraft and even invaded our airspace in the end. It landed on our base. Your actions... Slightly violating our authority and hurting our feelings... Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued countless protests. I will not state any further. You want us to return this plane. Then show enough sincerity."
Generally speaking, whether it was defecting or being forced to land, the personnel might be protected and applied for political refuge, but the plane must be returned.
If you don't get on the plane, the consequences will be very serious.
Qin Guan had already given the plane to the people of Y Country to exchange for the third generation Turbofan Engine that they urgently needed. What could he give to the people of Bear Country? Major Yang, who was following behind Qin Guan, only thought for a moment before he understood.
Qin Guan had a superpower, this kind of Electronic Reconnaissance Aircraft, he could have as many as he wanted. So, after the tattered airplane flew over, Qin Guan didn't even let his own people check the fighter jet. To his own people, checking how many secrets were on it wasn't a big secret at all.
It was obviously business to show enough sincerity. Andre looked at Qin Guan and said, "What do you want?"
"Titanium alloy." Qin Guan said, "We'll exchange it according to the ratio. That reconnaissance aircraft. It should be more than 60 tons, right? We don't want much, just 60 tons. You give us 60 tons of your lithium titanium and aluminum titanium alloys. Then we can trade this plane back, fair and square."
Qin Guan said it very generously. Behind him, Major Yang's heart was as clear as a mirror. This request was too extreme! Andre had a nickname, 'Head Minister of Shaking', because of many things. As long as he rejected it, he would shake his head. Now, let's see how he would shake his head!
For a country's aviation and aerospace industry, titanium alloys were essential.
Titanium and titanium alloys had excellent properties such as low weight, high intensity, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. They had already become one of the promising structural materials for the coloured smelting industry. Because they had a series of excellent characteristics, they were widely used in the industrial production of aviation, aerospace, chemical, petroleum, metallurgy, lightweight, electric power, saltwater desalination, warships, daily life tools, and so on. It was known as modern metal.
Although this metal had been discovered a long time ago, the real industrial production started in 1948. It was a new industry that accompanied the aerospace industry and the aerospace industry.
Now, the beams, frames, and other components of the fighter aircraft had gradually started to be manufactured using titanium alloy. The jet engine of the fighter aircraft also contained a large amount of titanium alloy!
In terms of titanium alloy reserves, Han Country had an abundance of titanium ore reserves. If converted, it was around nine billion tons, the world's number one standard. However, just like other minerals, it was mainly symbiotic mines. The smelting process was quite high, and it could not be used on a large scale. The natural gold and red stones that were easy to smelt in the world were the natural gold and red stones. There were almost none in the country.
Therefore, although the country had been vigorously developing the industry and used titanium as strategic resources, the production capacity of the country's titanium alloy in a year had just crossed a hundred tons.
The most efficient titanium production in the world was in Bear Country. There were too many resources in the vast land of Bear Country. Even the Y Country was envious. The color-smelting industry in the Bear Country produced approximately 2,300 tons of titanium equipment and titanium parts every year. Han Country did not even have a fraction of it.
Titanium was a precious metal that even exceeded gold. In the eyes of foreigners, it was a waste to use titanium in Bear Country.
For example, they even used titanium as the outer shell of the submarine, allowing the submarine to have a depth of over a kilometer! Ordinary submarines, even if they didn't use alloy steel, could only reach five to six hundred meters at most. Titanium alloy was that awesome.
At the same time, they also had titanium helmets, titanium bulletproof vests, and so on. In short, the production of titanium in Bear Country was plentiful, and they could do whatever they wanted.
The production of titanium in Bear Country was so high, to what extent? In the future, due to the collapse of Bear Country, they dumped their stock of sponge titanium, and even caused the price of titanium to drop worldwide!0
Qin Guan requested the other party to exchange 60 tons of titanium alloy for it. It was very useful to them, not to mention the 60 tons of titanium. It was enough to guarantee the production of fighter jets within five years, so they didn't have to worry about not having enough titanium. And it was free.
For the Bear Country, as long as they could get a little from their warehouse, it would be enough. Their warehouse would probably be more than 100 tons, so it didn't matter.
