Chapter 244 Let’s Talk About Cooperation

Three days passed in a flash, and the time I had agreed with Howard arrived.

“This picture…”

Howard held the design drawing of the new Senna IV 172R drawn by Fang Xiang, with a complicated expression on his face.

Fang Xiang poured himself a glass of bourbon. He was still a little uncomfortable with the Jim Beam he had last time.

“From a physical point of view, not much has changed.

The engine's parameters have been increased by 60 horsepower, but the fuel consumption has not increased much, which seems a bit incredible."

Although Howard is a billionaire, his love for airplanes far exceeds that of others.

Not only did he start his own aircraft company, he also often traveled around flying the aircraft he designed and manufactured until the last moment of his life.

Therefore, it is natural to be able to understand the drawings.

“Don’t just look at the parameters.

There are also many changes in the design of the fuselage.

It is more aerodynamic, and its flight posture and stability are much better than the current 172."

Fang Xiang took a sip of bourbon and found that it tasted not as good as Zhanbian. He frowned and put down the glass.

“Yes, there are many changes.

Especially the raised wing tip, but I doubt its function. "

Howard's brows were also tightly knitted together at this time.

“It can significantly reduce the vortex of air around the wing tips.”

Fang wanted to explain.

This design of upturned wingtips was actually proposed as early as the 19th century.

It was not until the 70s that people began to rediscover the subject and conduct experiments on it.

Since the 80s, almost all civil aircraft have adopted this design.

Fang wanted to take it out now, but it was only a few years ahead of schedule.

Compare the benefits that can be obtained from this world's richest man.

In fact, I don't mind giving this technology to him in advance.

After all, this technology will be popularized throughout the world in just a few years.

But if we could smuggle machine tools and equipment from Howard, how much benefit would that bring?

“This is truly a genius design.

There was once a time when I almost lost control of the plane because of turbulence.

That memory is still very vivid in my mind.”

Howard raised his head and looked upward, reminiscing about his past experiences.

Fang Xiang still remained silent. This design had already been in place for a long time, but it seemed that the billionaire just didn't know about it.

This information gap... No wonder everyone likes time travel.

"I think it's time for us to discuss the details of our cooperation."

After paying his respects, Howard carefully looked through the drawings again.

Then he raised his head and looked at Fang Xiang.

"Tell me what you want."

Howard straightened his suit jacket.

“Advanced machine tools, corresponding industrial equipment, as well as some advanced materials and their manufacturing process flows.”

Fang Xiang saw that he had finally reached the finish line and sat up straight.

Looking at Howard in front of him, he was wearing a thick suit.

It's hard to imagine that in this weather and temperature, this group of rich people have to wear several suits for the sake of their image.

I don’t know if they are tired or hot.

By the way, it seems that there are still quite a few handmade custom clothing stores in Hong Kong Island.

Why did you forget to order a batch of clothes to take back with you?

"What type and quantity do you want?"

Howard nodded. This had all been mentioned before.

“We want all kinds of products, as long as you can get them.

There is no limit on the quantity, and all the profits generated will be your return.

If you can send more, we can exchange it for foreign currency.

Or something you need.”

Fang wanted to ask for a huge amount of money directly, because there was a shortage of everything in the country nowadays.

Any industrial items Howard sends will become a hot commodity when they arrive in China.

What are you still being picky about?

“Can I put forward specific standards and requirements according to my needs?

For example, other types of aircraft and vehicles."

Howard was not surprised at Fang Xiang's request.

This was something he had already expected.

Even if he doesn't have to think about it, there will be a corresponding professional team to help him.

“Of course, we are friends, partners and customers.

We will try our best to meet any reasonable requests and needs.”

Fang Xiang nodded. Howard's request was not unexpected to him.

The reason why we took out the design drawings of 172R this time is to demonstrate our strength.

The other was to whet Howard's appetite and let him know clearly that there is always someone better than you.

The United States is indeed in its heyday today, but it is still no match for Fang Xiang, who traveled through time with 60 years of advanced knowledge.

He can still boast about this.

"How about the transaction?"

Howard's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction, and it was obvious that he highly recognized the other party's ability.

Fang Xiang now even has reason to believe that Howard has already considered the next design plan.

“If possible, deliver to any port on the mainland.

If it is inconvenient, you can also go to ports in Hong Kong and Macau.

I will set up a corresponding trading company to settle our transactions.

Of course, you can also hold shares and arrange for accounting personnel to supervise. "

The most ideal way is to ship directly to the mainland.

But Fang wanted to know that this was almost impossible unless it was a one-time deal.

"nonononono

Let’s set it up in Hong Kong Island. You and I will each own half of the company’s shares.

I only recognize you. I don’t trust anyone else.”

Howard immediately shook his head and rejected the proposal to ship it to the mainland.

As for the shares, half to each person, perhaps this is Howard's smart move.

He wanted to tie Fang Xiang up in this way.

"can."

Fang Xiang nodded. In fact, this method was what Fang Xiang expected.

Being tied to him seems to have many problems, but there are more benefits.

Apart from anything else, the safety issue alone is enough to outweigh all other benefits in this era.

Think about it, the advanced machine tools and equipment needed in the country can only be brought in under the premise of safety.

Who dares to touch him?

“The company’s registered address is set in the Cayman Islands.

Then, through cross-holding, it also controls trading companies in Hong Kong Island.

Just leave this part of the work to me, and I will send you the company documents and share certification later."

Howard continued.

I didn’t expect that registering overseas has become popular now?

"Then, next, when can you give me the blueprints of the car and the airplane?"

Seeing that Fang Xiang had no intention of expressing any objection, Howard asked the question that concerned him most.

“The car blueprints are easy to come by, as they are readily available in China.

I'll give it to you after I make a copy.

It's an airplane...

You know, these drawings weigh almost tons.

It will take at least... half a year to give you the complete version."

Fang Xiang originally wanted to say three months, but then he changed his mind and realized that Howard had previously lowered the price from 500 million to 50.

This means that this guy may not be reliable.

I originally wanted to say three months, but I changed it to half a year.

As for the car drawings, Fang was considering how to make it avoid being a one-time deal.

If Howard really wanted to deceive him, it would be difficult to deal with him.

I had hoped to have a few professionals with sufficient qualifications from China come over to help discuss the matter.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, he was still alone.

He didn't quite understand the legal details, and even felt that not many people in the country had experience in international trade.

It would be fine if we suffered a small loss, but if Howard stole the car's blueprints and left behind a pile of industrial waste.

Fang Xiang wanted to cry but had no place to cry.
