Chapter 194 A mouthful of old blood spurted out
"I'm sorry." Qin Tao said: "Sorry to interrupt, are you sure you didn't put the wrong slide? Why did you put our design drawings out?"
Rodriguez felt a tightness in his chest.
It was clearly Qin Tao and the others who plagiarized their design drawings, but now, the other party actually said that they had used their design drawings?
What is this thing?
Of course, this is called the evil one complaining first. Looking at Rodriguez's appearance, Qin Tao felt extremely happy. Hehe, when we just introduced you, you kept finding faults. Now, it's your turn to come on stage. See how I play with you!
Rodriguez's face was extremely ugly. If he were in another place, he would definitely rush up and fight Qin Tao, but now, he could only restrain himself.
"This design drawing was modified by our team based on the design drawing of the Prince of Asturias aircraft carrier. It is completely our own design. As for why it is similar to your design drawing, Mr. Qin, I don't know I want to ask you."
“What do you mean by that?” Qin Tao said, “I don’t understand!”
“We suspect that you stole our design drawings and then used them for bidding!”
There’s nothing much to say about the drawing anyway, because it’s almost the same as Qin Tao’s drawing, so let’s just throw dirty water on it.
“When did you start your design drawings?” Qin Tao asked.
“A month ago, when news came out from Siam that it wanted a light aircraft carrier, we started designing it, and we worked on it for a whole month!” Rodriguez looked angry.
Your Mingzhou Shipyard, when did you build an aircraft carrier? Where does the experience come from? Aren't you copying ours?
Qin Tao smiled: "Thank you for clearing our name. A month and a half ago, when Mr. LaCour came to our country to discuss the F-26T frigate, we showed our design drawings to Mr. LaCour. At the same time, , he also brought back several drawings, and he could prove that we had completed the design drawings of this aircraft carrier a month and a half ago!"
You started preparations a month ago. We already completed the design drawings a month and a half ago. Does it need to be said who copied whom?
Rodriguez was stunned for a moment: "This is impossible!"
On the stage, the big shot sighed, and then took out a drawing from the briefcase he brought: "Yes, Mr. Qin is right. A month and a half ago, Rakul came back from a business trip with The design drawing came back, and it was precisely because this design drawing gave us inspiration that we decided to launch a tender for the aircraft carrier. This design drawing can be put on a slide projector and displayed."
Although it is not the film used in the optical slide projector, after all, the performance of the optical projector in this era is very powerful. Now, after the image was printed and looking at the shape, Evans couldn't help but speak.
"Yes, this design drawing is very similar to the design drawing of Bazin Company. I never expected that as a famous European shipyard, it would actually do such a thing!" Evans has no tasks now, so he can also joke about it. .
This big shot will never lie, and the design drawings he took out from his briefcase were obtained a month ago. The reason why Bazin Company can come here to bid is because of these design drawings of Mingzhou Shipyard. , aroused the interest of Siam.
To put it more clearly, Siam has actually already chosen the design of Mingzhou Shipyard. When other companies come to bid, it is mostly just a formality, unless there is a particularly good plan.
I don’t know if the design drawings of Bazin Company were really stolen from the Mingzhou Shipyard. If so, it would be too shameless. However, even if not, they can still promote it after they return. .
Bazin Company used the design drawings of Mingzhou Shipyard and accused the other party of plagiarism. It was not until the big shots in Siam came up with proof that they were forced to bow their heads. What a joke this must be. After returning home, Dali Propaganda, make their Bazin Shipyard stink!
Rodriguez was dumbfounded. He only felt a rumbling in his head. He did a lot of research, but he just didn't know why Siam suddenly wanted a light aircraft carrier without any warning in advance.
Now I understand, it turned out that it was the Mingzhou Shipyard that promoted it.
Just now, he accused Mingzhou Shipyard of stealing the blueprints. Now, if someone really stole it from whom, then their Bazin Company is also the clown!
“Did you refer to the design drawings of our Prince of Asturias aircraft carrier?” At this time, Rodriguez could only find his way down the steps.
Qin Tao shook his head: "No, we don't have your aircraft carrier design drawings, how can we refer to it? Forget it, even if there is something really wrong, we will admit it. After we go back, we will check ourselves."
What Qin Tao said was as if Bazin Company had stolen their drawings and they were generous enough not to pursue the matter.
Rodriguez felt his chest becoming more and more constricted.
"Now, let's continue the introduction." He managed to calm down his mood, and then continued: "We are based on carrying Sea Harrier fighter jets and medium-sized helicopters..."
"Is the design of this power system too backward? With a single shaft and a single propeller, if something goes wrong, the aircraft carrier will be completely destroyed. Although we have to take cost factors into consideration and try to reduce the cost as much as possible, there are some things that cannot be Save it." Qin Tao suddenly interrupted.
The Prince of Asturias aircraft carrier uses two gas turbines, which are transferred to the propeller at the tail after merging. It is a traditional single-shaft single-propeller layout. Bazin has long discovered the disadvantages of this design, but , in just one month, they changed the aircraft carrier to a smaller one for bidding. They couldn't take too much into consideration, so they did not change the aircraft carrier's power system to a twin-shaft sculls.
Now, Qin Tao suddenly discovered this flaw in the design drawing and immediately pointed it out.
Rodriguez cast an angry look.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I can’t imitate someone. It’s rude to always interrupt when others are speaking. Keep going, keep going!”
However, at this time, several people on the rostrum began to murmur. Apparently, they had also discovered this problem.
The design drawings of Bazin Company and Qin Tao are roughly the same, but there are slight differences in the power system.
The other party has not engaged in a combination of diesel and fuel. In this way, no matter whether it is high speed or low speed, it has to use a gas turbine, which is very expensive. Especially, it is a single propeller. If the propeller is broken, the aircraft carrier will not be able to move.
Modern warships are designed with multiple shafts and multiple propellers, making it easier to respond to emergencies.
Hearing the mutterings of these people, Rodriguez quickly said: "We only spent a month modifying the design, which was relatively hasty. If you want to change it to a double-shaft sculls, that's no problem."
“Humph.” Qin Tao made a sound from his nostrils.
Rodriguez's eyes were on fire: "Mr. Qin, what do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything. Go on, I can't interrupt your explanation." Qin Tao was very polite, but looking at his expression, shaking his head, what did he mean? Isn't it clear?
They, Bazin Company, are not very capable and they will plagiarize. Once they are modified like this, there will be no difference between them and the design drawings of Mingzhou Shipyard! It is completely developed from the same mold!
"Bang!" Rodriguez couldn't bear it anymore and put the next few slides on the table. He stopped explaining. He looked at the people on the rostrum and said, "Everyone, our Bazin Company is the leader of the company. We come here sincerely. We have already built the Prince of Asturias aircraft carrier and have rich experience. We can fully apply our construction experience to the construction of this aircraft carrier. As long as you choose our shipyard, we will provide the best Generous treatment. In terms of price, we are willing to quote 350 million. In terms of carrier-based aircraft, we can also provide our own AV-8S carrier-based aircraft. In terms of matching, we have a unique advantage. They Mingzhou The shipyard has never built an aircraft carrier before and has no experience. If you choose them, it may not be completed in eight years, but we can build it in five years."
Rodriguez was completely worried.
"It's inappropriate to use belittling others to bid, isn't it?" Qin Tao said: "We never belittle our competitors. We can only provide customers with the most affordable solutions and think about customers. Even if the customer chooses us competitors, we will also congratulate our opponents.”
Qin Tao continued to speak there. Which one was higher and which one was lower could be distinguished immediately.
Qin Tao’s whole body carries the unique temperament of a large Eastern country. We are the most sincere, the most friendly, and the most upright!
"It only takes us three years to build a 10,000-ton aircraft carrier. In terms of cost, with the same configuration, we will always be 10 million lower than our competitors. If our valued customers choose to purchase various weapons and power by themselves, With the system, we can lower the price to 290 million!"
Just now Qin Tao quoted 350 million. Now, this competitor also quoted 350 million, so Qin Tao will drop 10 million.
If it were just for the 10 million, it might not be able to impress the people of Siam. However, Qin Tao had other plans.
The aircraft carrier project was proposed by Qin Tao, and he was the first to make the design drawings. He also proposed the anticipated Yak-141 for the carrier-based aircraft. All the preparations for this have been done, so let people I felt it was a great value for money.
"Although this is our first time to build an aircraft carrier, our navy has already ordered one, so the quality will be guaranteed. Moreover, our shipyard has always aimed at innovation. We have already built We built the first domestic dredger, the first river and sea ship, and the first liquefied gas ship." Qin Tao smiled: "Especially liquefied gas ships, there are not many countries in the world that can build them. Rodrigo Your Excellency, your Bazin Shipyard is famous in Europe. Have you built all these ships?"
Although we have never built an aircraft carrier, we are still fully capable. Has Bazan Shipyard ever built a dredger? Have you ever built a liquefied gas ship?
Rodriguez's chest was suffocated to the limit. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but a **** taste came to his throat. Then, he was surprised to see red liquid pouring out of his throat. He sprayed it out of his mouth and onto the table in front of him. On the slide projector, a scarlet red appeared on the projection screen.
Rodriguez only felt that everything in front of him was shaking, and then his body fell softly.
"The meeting is suspended!" Looking at this situation, Nares shouted loudly, and then called the big shots around him to leave quickly.
Zheng Ming and Yang Dawei were all looking at all this with surprised eyes. They had heard about how powerful Qin Tao was, but they didn't expect that he would be so powerful, making his competitors so angry that they vomited blood!
(In fact, there is a similar small aircraft carrier, the Garibaldi of the Noodle Country Navy. However, due to World War II, the Noodle Country cannot have an aircraft carrier. Therefore, in the early days of the service of the Garibaldi, except for a few NATO joint exercises, there were Royal Air Force The Harrier fighter jets it belongs to take off and land overseas. They do not carry Sea Harriers, but are only equipped with helicopters. They are also called aviation cruisers.)
Zhao Ling was the only one who was not surprised. She knew that Qin Tao was very powerful. No matter what scene appeared, there was no need to be surprised.
Because Rodriguez vomited blood, the meeting could only be suspended. Qin Tao looked at Rodriguez being carried away on a stretcher and said very enthusiastically: "My friend, what's wrong with you? If you're not feeling well, just rest. You can't." Your health has been affected by work! Look, the meeting has to be temporarily suspended because of you. After you go back, have a good rest and wish you a speedy recovery!"
Others in Bazin Company were looking at Qin Tao with angry eyes. Doesn’t Qin Tao know why their representative vomited blood?
However, when Qin Tao talks like this, they can't argue with Qin Tao, otherwise it would be too rude. After all, this is not Europe, not their Spain.
They went back separately. After lunch and entering the hotel room, Yang Dawei immediately asked Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, why is Bazan Company's plan the same as ours?"
When he saw Rodriguez's slide, Yang Dawei became nervous. He remembered the previous leaks. Could it be that similar things happened in his design office again?
"Different paths lead to the same goal." Qin Tao said: "There are only a few designs for aircraft carriers in the world. If you want to take off the Sea Harrier, it only has 10,000 tons, and the outlines are almost the same in the end."
Of course Qin Tao can't say that he followed the Bazan Company's plan. However, there are really not many aircraft carrier design plans in the world.
Look at Lao Maozi’s latest nuclear-powered heavy-duty aircraft carrier cruiser. Does it look similar to an American aircraft carrier?
What other special shapes does a light aircraft carrier have?
At that time, Bazin Company spent a lot of effort to develop the Prince of Asturias aircraft carrier for its own navy. After all, they had never built such a thing before.
In 1973, the Spanish Navy decided to build a light cruiser to replace the old heavy cruiser "Canarias". However, this plan was not carried forward. By 1977, the light cruiser originally planned to be built became a light aircraft carrier to replace the "Maze".
Bazin Company has no experience in building aircraft carriers and is not willing to let other countries build it, so it can only figure it out on its own.
Fortunately, they have help from Americans.
In 1969, the U.S. Navy proposed the design concept of a sea control ship, which is somewhat similar to the **** aircraft carrier during World War II. This warship can carry V/STOL (vertical/short take-off and landing aircraft) aircraft and anti-submarine helicopters to protect trade. Ships are protected from enemy submarines and aircraft, and the cost is low.
The U.S. Navy has been studying it for many years. However, in 1975, the big guys in Congress chopped it off with a wave of their hands! As a result, this kind of warship was abandoned, but this idea fit the Spanish Navy's plan.
So, Bazin Company bought the drawings. In 1977, they made corresponding modifications to the design drawings, such as adding a ski jump deck, and then started construction.
Since it was the first time to build it, it took them a long time. Construction started in June 1979, the keel was laid in October, and the water was launched in 1982. After a lot of tinkering, it was not completed until 1988.
The first ship had no experience, so it would take ten years. When it came to the second ship, they finally had experience and planned to build it in five years. However, Qin Tao was so domineering and promised that it would only take three years. !
At this time, Qin Tao comforted Yang Dawei by saying that different paths led to the same goal, and that this was how the aircraft carrier was designed. However, Zheng Ming hesitated and said: "Mr. Qin, is it too late to build an aircraft carrier in three years?"
"Yes, it is indeed a bit late. However, what we want to build is just a shell. Those weapons and equipment are all sent back to Siam for reassembly. The three years I mentioned are to deliver them to them. The subsequent supporting equipment is none of our business."
Zheng Ming finally realized that Qin Tao was playing a word game!
This cannot be blamed on our own side. After all, Siam does not like its own weapons and equipment. If they want better ones, they can only purchase them from the West and install them in Siam. We do have Sea Rattlesnakes on our side, but the problem is that the Siamese people have never used legal weapons, so they probably don't like them.
As for the rest, let them coordinate on their own.
It’s just a shell, and Qin Tao has experience in his previous life, so there will be no problems with this order.
“Mr. Qin, about the carrier-based aircraft…”
“We are serious about carrier-based aircraft, and we are also serious about building the same type of aircraft carrier ourselves.” Qin Tao’s answer was unquestionable.
“Mr. Qin, what’s next? Do we just have to wait?”
Qin Tao smiled and said, "Of course not. If we just wait, we will probably miss the order. After all, other competitors will not just watch us get the order."
Shopping malls are like battlefields. This big order worth hundreds of millions of dollars is being watched by many people, especially Bazin Company. How can you not be anxious when you see the duck in your hands flying away?
The other party knows how to use tricks!
“Then what should we do?” Zheng Ming was a little nervous. When bidding in the past, it was not so bloody!
Qin Tao smiled: "Next, of course we will split up."
Hotel, swimming pool.
A beautiful woman swam in it, just like a mermaid. When she came up after swimming around, she just sat on the chair next to the swimming pool when she saw Qin Tao and Zhao Ling. She immediately raised her arms to say hello.
“Qin, Zhao, hello!” Jaina said with a smile.
As a young actress, Gianna can also speak some simple English.
Last time, Zhao Ling helped to rescue the siege, and then went shopping. Zhao Ling bought her a lot of things, so after coming back, Jaina already regarded Zhao Ling as her best friend.
After all, in a polygamous country, a woman's status cannot be improved. Even if she is an unknown actor and very beautiful, she still cannot get much material satisfaction from Rakul.
She has a good impression of Qin Tao and Zhao Ling.
The swimsuit she wore last time would never be worn out again, but she still likes bikinis, just without the straps.
“Hello, Gianna, you swim so well!” Zhao Ling said complimentarily.
“Zhao, you swim very well too.”
“Then let’s go down and swim again?”
"OK."
Jianna was very enthusiastic about Zhao Ling. The two girls went swimming together, while Qin Tao sat on the chair alone.
An exquisite handbag was placed on the table next to it. It was brought by Gianna when she was swimming. In such a high-end place, you don't have to worry about losing things. The waiter is watching from the door.
Qin Tao said hello: "Waiter, drinks!"
The waiter turned around and went to get it.
Sukhothai Hotel.
“Damn it, how could they have our design drawings!” a middle-aged man roared.
Alessandro, the designer of Bazin Company, he and his people made the drawings. Unexpectedly, they were the same as those of his competitors!
This is absolutely intolerable to them.
Rodriguez is still in the special care unit of the hospital. Although the problem is not serious, it is obvious that he can no longer have too many emotional fluctuations. Therefore, Alessandro, who has not spoken at the meeting, becomes the remaining staff. the backbone of.
“Yes, they must have stolen our drawings, but how could they steal our drawings?” His subordinates were also questioning.
“Ding-ring-ring.” At this moment, the phone rang.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Let me tell you a secret. There is a shady secret in this competition...”
The man holding the phone, his eyes shining, what, there is a shady story?
He quickly picked up a pen and paper, listening and recording. When he put down the phone, he shouted to Alessandro: "We finally know that there is an inside story here! We must expose this inside story!"
