Finally, there was a big funder coming. The Power Machinery Consortium did not want to miss such a big funder. In the past decade, the Power Machinery Consortium has not opened yet, so it is naturally very active.

Wolf Herman looked at the power machinery consortium's orders. A single RD-180 rocket engine was sold to Onyx-X laboratory, and it actually reached 1,500 US dollars. It was obviously a fat sheep slaughter, and the price was much higher than that of the North American Joint Launch Alliance!

He frowned. Wolf Hermann was not a professional market and purchasing staff, but he was unwilling to be slaughtered as a fat sheep. You should know that the funds spent now belong to the X Laboratory space exploration project. The power machinery consortium has received more, and the space exploration project will be less in the future!

"This price is far beyond the price you supply to the North American Launch Alliance." Wolf Hermann said looking at Albzov.

Albzov looked around and knew that it was the idea of ​​several other executives, just to make a more bid. The higher the price, the more the power machinery consortium will get.

Before Albzov could speak, another executive of the Power Machinery Consortium said, "The current production capacity of the Power Machinery Consortium is very tight. If the RD-180 is supplied to Onyx-X laboratory, it is necessary to rebuild the factory and have other test experiments!"

Although it sounds like nothing wrong, the North American Launch Alliance bought 101-seat rocket engines from the Power Machinery Consortium, and the unit price is naturally low. If you buy Onyx-X Laboratory, you need to rebuild the factory and increase production capacity.

But in fact, it’s just a joke. It’s obviously a trick on Onyx-X laboratory. What other experimental tests are needed. Herman feels that he is pressing his IQ to the ground and rubbing it. The RD-180 has been developed for eleven years, and he’s still a big deal. I want to use the money from Onyx-X laboratory to do his own research and development!

Now Herman understood why Chen Chu asked Smith to come to the Russians with him. Herman also regretted it. He didn't let Smith come with him today. The Russians took the price to raise the price. This trick was really silky!

Hermann inexplicably remembered a rumor he had heard. The Russian wanted to give an aircraft carrier to A San for free. As a result, the modification fee and maintenance fee were added. The aircraft carrier that was sent for free charged A San for $2.2 billion, but it was not completed in the end...

"One RD-180 is 10 million US dollars, this is the final price of X Laboratory. The Power Machinery Consortium must deliver ten RD180s to X Laboratory within two years. If the price exceeds this price, the order may not be completed. Onyx-X terminates this cooperation!" Wolf Herman said directly. He is not a sucker like Ah San. If this regresses at the beginning, he still doesn't know how to be troubled by here in the future.

When he saw Wolf Hermann's attitude of not being able to leave, Albzov also had a headache. Raising prices is common in the technology industry, especially for such high-tech products. In the past, Mao Wang sold mechanical products, weapons, etc., but he did not start the price. He received a deposit and did not ship the goods and sell it at a higher price, and it was not once or twice.

This is not only the Russians who did this, but who has never done a bald eagle or a Gaul rooster. Who knows that Wolf Hermann doesn't play by the routine?

"The price can be negotiated. The Power Machinery Consortium is willing to adjust some of the costs, but it is really difficult to have ten-seater RD-180 engines in two years!"

Albzov looked at Herman and said, "This is not a nonsense. The production capacity originally supplied to North America was fixed, but now the order from Onyx-X laboratory has been added suddenly, so the power machinery consortium has indeed been in short supply. The power machinery consortium has not done any research and development for ten years. The loss of technical personnel is very serious and it is impossible to start production at full capacity for a while.

Hearing Albzov's words, Herman thought for a moment. For the space project team of Onyx-X laboratory, time is also very tight. By next year, a rocket must be launched to meet Chen Chu's requirements. At least several experiments will be required, which does not include the risk of failure. If the rocket engine is not enough, then everything is nonsense.

Before getting up again, Wolf Hermann felt his old face blushing when he said to him, but he still said, "Actually, we can change the way of cooperation. Onyx-X laboratory can increase the purchase price, and a single-seat RD-180 rocket engine, X laboratory is willing to buy it at a price of 18 million US dollars!"

Hearing that Wolf Hermann took the initiative to raise the purchase price, Albuzov was not only not happy, but instead felt nervous.

"Onyx-X Laboratory is willing to increase the purchase price and can also pay a fee to the Power Machinery Consortium. I hope the Power Machinery Consortium can provide RD180 production technology to X Laboratory!"

After saying this, Herman felt that he was speaking loudly at the Lion, not to mention the Power Machinery Consortium. The entire conference room was silent for a few seconds, and then the Power Machinery Consortium stood up, with an expression of excitement, "This is impossible!"

They can tell whether they have enough or not. Now RD180 is the only thing that can be put into the box. Once the technology is sold to X Laboratory, the Power Machinery Consortium will never have any items to take advantage of, and will not get new orders for X Experiment in the future.

Albzov's eyelids twitched. He didn't expect that Hermann would actually propose this, which was far beyond his expectations. "Dr. Hermann, this is impossible. RD180 technology is our non-sale product!"

"Maybe you can hear me say that the RD-180 is not the only one, and sooner or later there will be an engine that replaces the RD180!"

Herman sorted out his words. This was not to scare the power machinery complex. Although the RD180 seems to be the first among heavy-thrust rocket engines, it is not irreplaceable, it is just the cost.

"Onyx-X Laboratory can change its cooperation method. X Laboratory is willing to reach strategic cooperation with the Power Machinery Consortium. In addition to purchasing ten RD180 rocket engines, X Laboratory is willing to invest in the Power Machinery Consortium with US$300 million to share RD180 technology with the Power Machinery Consortium. In addition, the technicians of the Power Machinery Consortium can participate in the Onyx-X Laboratory's space project. The salary is paid by Onyx Laboratory according to the standards of NASA's technicians of the same level!"

Hermann's words made the members of the Power Machinery Complex, especially the technicians, who were still indignant just now, not angry, but couldn't help but look at Arbuzov.

Such conditions are really not low. It is not easy for a rocket engine technology from more than ten years ago to sell for $400 million. This is quite difficult. Except for the big money owner Onyx-X Laboratory, players in the entire aerospace industry are all taking a walk. There is probably no other one who is willing to pay this price!

More importantly, the conditions behind it are. You must know that the Onyx-X laboratory will not be able to fall into the hands of the Power Machinery Consortium. The Russians' aerospace, foreign trade, industry, finance, municipal and other major departments will all get a share. Finally, they will be in the hands of the Power Machinery Consortium, and there will be one-tenth of them left, and they will burn the incense.

Therefore, for the technicians of the Power Machinery Consortium, participating in the space project of Onyx-X Laboratory is the best choice. Not only can they re-engage in the technical research and development, but they can also get compensation paid according to NASA's standards. Compared with their current treatment, it is more than several times stronger!

Albzov looked at the conference room that was quiet in an instant, and then looked at the members of the Power Machinery Consortium. He also knew that everyone in the Power Machinery Consortium was moved. With the big funder of Onyx-X Laboratory, they naturally would no longer have to worry about not being able to live a life in the future.

But after thinking for a while, Albzov shook his head, "The Power Machinery Consortium can be sold to the Onyx-X Laboratory RD180 rocket engine, and can also accept Dr. Herman's custom rocket engine requirements. The Power Machinery Consortium can also cooperate with the space companies under the Onyx-X Laboratory, but we cannot sell the RD180 technology!"

Albzov was unable to make up his mind in the end. Onyx-X laboratory's orders and funds were taken by the power machinery consortium, but he did not want to sell the technology directly. After selling this technology, the power machinery consortium would have almost nothing left. If the Onyx-X space company poached the technicians of the power machinery consortium, the entire power machinery consortium would become an empty stand.

However, Hermann naturally would not agree with the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation but not paying the price. He wanted to get the RD180 technology, but actually wanted to increase the technical strength of X Laboratory Space Company, not because he wanted to take advantage of the situation.

For a time, the negotiations were deadlocked, and neither side had any objections to other cooperation, but in terms of technology transfer, the Power Machinery Consortium and Onyx-X Laboratory had both been very determined.

This kept the negotiations from morning to night, and the conference room was in full swing. Just when Herman felt that there might be no chance, his phone suddenly rang. After the call was connected, Smith's voice was mixed with deafening music, and it was obvious that the party was being held again.

"Dr. Hermann, you can make your request to the Power Machinery Consortium. I think this negotiation should be over!"

He answered a call from Smith without thinking. Hermann didn't know what he meant, but he said to Albuzov the request of Onyx-X Laboratory.

Seeing Hermann, who had answered a call and became more determined, Albzov didn't know what was going on. Just as he was about to speak, the landline in the conference room actually rang. After answering the call, Albzov's face became a little uncomfortable.

Then it was like a signal, and one after another called, and Albzov's face changed from ugly to helplessness, and finally became without any expression.
Chapter completed!
