Taylor said with relief when he saw that Li Changheng refused immediately.

“We have signed a contract with the 747,707 order of the desert rich man and received an advance payment.

Therefore, while everyone in the company thanks you, they also recognize your judgment on the international situation and future situation.

Let me come here because I hope you and I will go to Grumman to see the F14’s first flight and then give me some advice.

As for the reward."

Taylor thought for a while before continuing, “How about we help you invest in Glomon?”

“Not interested.”

Li Changheng refused without thinking.

The F14 was definitely a good plane in the 1970s, but Grumman's management was definitely a bunch of idiots who were stupid to the sky.

Because these guys will accept fixed prices to produce planes in a fixed price in order to get orders.

It can be said that as long as next year is next year, that is, in August 1971, the US dollar decouples, and Grumman loses more than 20% of every F14 produced by Grumman.

The lack of money is also the main reason for the slow upgrade of F14.

In addition, the F14 is more expensive than the F15, which is known as the most expensive land-based fighter a few years later.

It is equivalent to air combat capabilities that are not as good as F15, but the price is almost twice that of F15 with a price of US$35 million.

Of course, F15 was developed five years later than F14, and it was not as good as F15 in air combat.

However, the variable wing is not only tedious but also takes a very long time in maintenance and repair.

In addition, the aircraft is heavy, the fuselage is large, and the load capacity is only 6 air-to-air missiles each costing $1 million.

After 98% of the equipment in the entire machine can be self-tested, and can also face the ground, air, and sea, F14 will immediately become the fate of being used only as an interceptor.

Expensive, troublesome maintenance, slow update and upgrade of avionics, weapons, and radar systems.

The ability to attack the ground and sea is extremely poor and cannot adapt to the requirements of joint combat.

In addition, the polar bears are getting weaker and weaker. The F14's main opponent and target Polar Bear long-range strategic bomber has become difficult to even take off normally, and even the polar bears are gone.

F14, a carrier-based aircraft with extremely strong air combat capabilities, will naturally be eliminated.

Another point that may be the most critical point is that F14 has been exported to the Persians.

In 1979, Persia had a coup, and even F14 defected directly to the Red Polar Bear.

In other words, no matter how advanced this fighter is, it is destined to withdraw from the mainstream model.

Therefore, Li Changheng was not only not interested in Taylor's investment in Grumman, but instead felt that he and the three American Navy members were here to deceive him.

If this really makes a stock investment, it will definitely be the most failed investment in his life in the future.

However, because of the relationship between General Raven Bernard of Virginia Naval Base, he was not able to just say it to death.

Perhaps the US Navy was still excited by the various data from F14.

No, Li Changheng reacted instantly.

Perhaps the contract was not signed this year.

Instead, it was signed last year or the year before.

At this time, Grumman's people should have predicted the pressure of depreciation of the US dollar, so they are looking for funders from the outside, and they must also be funders with deep relationship with the US Navy.

Only by his sudden emergence of his heart will he get the opportunity to invest in Grumman.

It is definitely not possible to invest, but this does not prevent him from going to see the F14 liftoff, nor does it prevent him from seeing the fighter jets that are regarded as classic by many people.

Three days later, Li Changheng took Jim to appear at a test airport in Virginia.

As soon as I walked to the observation deck, I saw General Raven Bena Zhong and several major generals who are also franchisees of the Panda Restaurant, surrounded by a group of people and wondering what they were arguing about.

Li Changheng immediately thought of having more things, but it was better to have less things.

Of course, since he came today, he was ready to be lobbyed.

At this time, I just want to avoid it because I don’t want to be seen by too many people, and I don’t want to participate foolishly when I don’t know what Bernard General is arguing with others.

But I was about to take Jim to avoid it, but before I could walk down the stairs, I was stopped.

Looking back, Taylor took a middle-aged man and walked towards him quickly.

"Henry, do us a favor, and I promise that President Brett will give you a satisfactory return."

Li Changheng looked at Brett with contempt, but he still smiled and nodded to the middle-aged man who must be President Grumman.

He heard the other party say anxiously, "Bena Zhong will not agree to re-negotiate,."

Hearing this, Li Changheng refused without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, "Sorry, I'm just here to see the test flight. Moreover, do you really think that I, a person who runs a restaurant, can really affect the affairs of the US Navy?"

Taylor and Brett immediately looked ugly.

Although what Li Changheng said was the truth, their two-doubts were to lobby all the senior and influential people on the US Navy.

Let's talk to Grumman together, and the probability of success is always more likely to win than Grumman himself.

This method is actually a method that Boeing and other military-industrial companies have tried and tested.

Since they have rich experience in lobbying, this group of people has certainly encountered various people and situations.

And for Brett, even if Lee Changheng refused, Grumman could not stop lobbying.

Because that is a struggle with money, and even worse, it will lead to the company's bankruptcy.

He winked at Taylor, and Taylor frowned and thought for a few seconds.

He whispered, "As long as you help us this time, I promise that we will lobby the navy stationed in the island country when necessary, and help you when necessary.

Even if you need it, you can advance or postpone the small-scale and permanent joint exercises every year for a few days, or reduce the number of people in the island country.”

FKU.

Li Changheng suddenly became ecstatic.

Taylor's meaning is obvious, and he and Boeing already know that Intel is producing electronic calculators.

I also know that Intel's rival is an island country company.

If the Americans stationed in the island country suddenly refuse to participate in a certain group of soldiers of the island country, or reduce the number of people they participate, what do you think of the island people?

"Are you sure?"

Li Changheng smiled and patted Taylor on the shoulder, "The price of lying to me is very high."

Taylor immediately looked at Brett.

This is just a broker responsible for establishing relationships, and of course Grumman is the one who contributes.

But unexpectedly, Brett was not worried at all, and he smiled without even any pressure, "Henry, many things are as difficult as a layman, but for people with many friends, it is actually very simple."

"OK".

Li Changheng smiled and nodded, and took the initiative to reach out and hold it with Breton.

Then he smiled and said, "I can't decide the decision of the US Navy, but I'm you."

Just spend some money and favors to encourage some of the little brothers of the Red Polar Bear to drive MiG23 and MiG25 in Persia, or on the borders of countries such as cesium."

"Good idea".

Breton and Taylor's eyes lit up instantly.
