793 Delivering two ships a year? Mission impossible

"Or, let's get h2 first, and we will upgrade later?" Xie Kai's eyelids jumped up unhappily.

Just kidding, this rich man spent money without saying a word.

Xie Kai really wants money and thinks he is a bit boasting.

It was a bit too much to deliver a warship that had not yet been set in one year.

If it is placed thirty years later, a small warship with only 2,000 tons like 053h3 can be launched in dozens of ships a year, and if it is enough to produce it.

But it's the 1980s now!

"No, you need h3, and you must increase missiles for ground attack!" Suleiman Khalifa said firmly.

"I'm afraid that the time will be too short and it will not be very stable..." Xie Kai regretted it a little. He bragged that he should really make a draft. "Take me to visit your design and production unit. As long as there is really no problem, we will sign a contract immediately. Our country will select officers and soldiers to China for training as soon as possible..."

He didn't know how Xie Kai returned to his room. He was stimulated by the order of $400 million, and he became bad.

It’s not that I think the money is too small.

But I’m so bragging!

053h3, which is not completely on the drawings in one year!

Is the drawing design completed?

"Didn't the other party place an order for two ships? Why are you worried? You still have 200 million US dollars per ship. With this money, we can support the research and improvement of 052." Mo Qi did not understand Xie Kai's concerns.

Xie Kai looked at Mo Qi. This girl didn’t understand the inside story, so how could she feel her sadness?

Even Chopin could not pop up Xie Kai's current sorrow.

"One-year delivery, do you know what it means?" Xie Kai was helpless, "Contact the base immediately, we are ready to return to the Shanghai Stock Exchange."

"Isn't you not seeing Saudis yet?" Moqi was even more puzzled, "We are here just to see them."

"It's too late. It's more important to go out with naval equipment. And the Saudis can't run away," said Xie Kai. "We must make the sold warships famous and pave the way for naval equipment to go out with. This is the key!"

053h2, Xie Kai doesn't want to sell it.

The Red Flag-61 installed on it uses an inclined launch, which is bulky, large in size, and takes up space, and has little combat effectiveness.

These warships can be sold for decades as long as they become famous.

053 The most suitable frigate with tonnage is export, which is used by domestic navy, and its performance is somewhat insufficient.

At present, the navy has no warships and no large-scale equipment. It has been developing better ones. Naturally, Xie Kai will not let the navy spend a small amount of money to build this kind of thing, even if 053h3 already belongs to them.

"Xie Kai sold two new models of 053, but the price was not cheap, one was $200 million." Wang Guilin found Zheng Yucheng and said in the base.

Zheng Yucheng was overjoyed, "This kid is really good. He sold it so quickly, to Saudi Arabia?"

Wang Guilin had no joy on his face, but instead shook his head worriedly.

"What's wrong? We should be even happier after selling it. Hudong Shipyard, we must get our superiors to allocate it to us as soon as possible. In this way, no matter whether it is a dock renovation or new improvement, we don't have to invest a penny." Zheng Yucheng was puzzled by what Wang Guilin was worried about, "Are you afraid that the Navy will not be happy to give it to us when he sees such a large order? It won't be possible to give it to us, the order is in our hands!"

"It's not this problem. The problem lies with Xie Kai."

"What's wrong with him?" When he heard that Xie Kai had something wrong, Zheng Yucheng's heart instantly reached his throat.

"I'm a bit too much to brag about with people. Two ships will be delivered within a year." Wang Guilin sighed, "This is the problem. You went there before, so didn't you let them start designing this? Not to mention whether the design has been completed, just one year to complete the manufacturing, launching, installing, and debugging the weapon system and radar system, unless the hull is manufactured within half a year."

"This..." Zheng Yucheng also felt that the problem was big.

"And if one ship sells for $200 million, if it succeeds, we don't have to worry too much about the naval project in the future. But it's too difficult to meet the conditions..." The folds on Wang Guilin's face squeezed together.

"First find Li Mingshan and Long Yaohua to go to the Hudong Factory and communicate with the technical team there. Xie Kai should be back too. Since he has proposed it, it should be possible." Zheng Yucheng didn't want to give up.

It is impossible to give up.

The Navy has sold warships before, but it is not new warships.

The order in front of us is the largest single order in the Navy. If you win it, you can fill the funds needed by the Hudong Shipyard.

Xie Kai is brave enough. The purchase price of 053h2 of the Navy is just upgraded, so he was sold for 200 million yuan, which is a terrible dollar.

Such fat meat, don't eat it?

Who can sleep without eating!

So, Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin rushed to the Hudong Shipyard overnight.

Even Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan, after they received the news, pushed back other tasks and prepared to go to the Hudong Shipyard early in the morning.

"200 million US dollars per ship? Who did they sell it to? Did the other party ask that all nuclear bombs have to be on the ship?" Before dawn the next day, Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan met at the airport.

"That doesn't, it seems that the delivery period is very urgent." Li Mingshan shook his head, "Fortunately, Hudong Factory is not theirs..."

The attitude is very obvious. Hudong Factory is not 404, so the profit 404 must be divided into a large part.

The Navy's funding is not sufficient.

"It's too difficult to build two ships a year, but the design has not been completed." Long Yaohua looked at Li Mingshan, "It's not appropriate to consider how to distribute profits at this time."

"I'm just talking? This kid seems to be able to find customers everywhere and convince others." Li Mingshan nodded, he just said.

The difficulty in front of them is the reason why they put down their work so early and rushed to the Hudong Shipyard.

Even Zheng Ming, the Navy Equipment Department, went to Hudong Shipyard again.

"This is simply impossible! At present, our construction speed takes one year from laying keels to launching the water; it takes one year from installing to serving." Zhou Zhenbai, as the chief construction engineer, told Li Qingmin and others responsibly.

Zheng Yucheng and the others have not come yet, and Hudong Factory held an emergency meeting overnight for this huge business.

"Each of our ships is built and improved the design. Logically, the construction speed should be shortened." Li Qingmin said in a low voice.

"The factory manager, if it is just a production of the H2 under construction, there is no problem. After all, it is used in mature technologies, and the electromagnetic compatibility of the radar system on it is not a problem. But Xie Kai asked that air defense missiles must be installed, and ground attack missiles must be added. A 100-meter-long warship has only a little deck, unless we can create a vertical launch system on the ship..." Wang Hengyuan told the technical difficulties this time, "In our plan, the Hongqi-61 air defense missile will occupy too much place when it is launched. Inclined launch, we must consider the shooting boundary..."

Inclined emission is not vertical emission, and vertical emission covers a small area.

In order to have no dead angles in the 360-degree air defense missile, the tilted air defense missile requires that there must be no obstacles within the rotation radius of the missile launcher, and the bridges cannot block the missile's launch angle...

The tonnage of the warship is too low, and the deck area is only so large, and it is impossible.

It's a terrible thing to add a ground-to-ground missile launch system.

The Dongfeng series can be launched vertically, the question is, can the small body panel of 053 be installed?

"We can't do this business?" Gu Baonong asked.

"Almost impossible." Wang Hengyuan did not hesitate at all, "Xie Kai was just doing it. It was very difficult not to install ground-to-ground missiles..."

"If this opportunity is lost, the impact will be great." Li Qingmin looked regretful.

This order is not only related to the future of 053, but also to the aircraft carrier, which is the future of the navy.

"Are you sure?" Mo Qi was also worried after listening to Xie Kai's analysis. "Even though we know the situation in our country, we have to brag so much."

"If you don't brag, will they buy it? If the negotiations between Qatar and the Soviet Union are not going well and don't buy it, who will we sell it to?" Xie Kai was also helpless.

Actually, it's not him bragging.

It's just that he forgot the times he is now.

Back then, the Huahua family launched dozens of warships in a year, including aircraft carriers. It took only 4 years from the start of construction to the launch of the water, and it was necessary and even faster.

055 Such a 10,000-ton destroyer was only two and a half years since it started to start construction and launch; 052d, it took less than four years from start construction to launch and then to service.

053 A small warship like this? One year is enough!

Didn't you see, are exported to Thailand delivery periods for about one year?

Xie Kai forgot that he asked for the production of 053h3, which should have been produced in the 1990s. There is an H2g model between h3 and h2. China's segmented manufacturing technology has not yet been produced.

How could he not be too overwhelmed?

He wanted to talk to Suleiman Khalifa about the delay in construction period, even if he was willing to reduce the price by 10 million US dollars, but the rich man was not short of money, and they were not willing to do so at all.

That's the price!

That's the delivery time!

If the contract cannot be signed as soon as possible, Bahrain's Emir would not mind looking for any country that the Soviet Union, the United States, France and Britain could provide.

One-handed one can't do it?

As long as it is stronger than the warships Qatar bought from the Soviet Union, second-hand ones are not a problem.

Anyway, Suleiman Khalifa is now spending time with Qatar.

There is absolutely no room for negotiation for the sovereignty of the Fashte Diber Coral Reef Islands!

The issue of sovereignty is not negotiable.

"Thank you, is your plane here? Or just take my special plane?" Suleiman Khalifa asked someone to find Xie Kai early the next morning, and the two of them had a meal together, and then the guy spoke.

After the negotiation, I went to the Chinese shipyard today and then learned about the ground-based Hongqi missiles and so on.

Even though Xie Kai didn't want to, he had to bring this guy there.
Chapter completed!
