    At that time, Ascendas Group was not outstanding among the many buyers, and its offer was also the lowest, only 12.06 million US dollars. So after Maleshevsky saw Ascendas Group's offer, he directly crumpled it into a ball of waste paper and threw it away.  Into the trash can.

    You should know that during the same period, the North Korean Aviation Production Consortium gave an offer of US$18 million; the National Aeronautical Manufacturing Company of Iran even gave a quote of US$22 million.

    These are two countries that have been subject to sanctions for more than ten years. They are so poor that they can only be used as bottom pants. However, they have much more money than your Ascendas Group. At least they are more sincere than your Ascendas Group.  If you treat Ascendas Group as trash, who will you treat as trash?

    As for France's Dassault and the British bea defense group, they quoted US$25 million and US$28 million respectively. As for Airbus Defense, which was jointly created by Europe, they offered a high price of US$30 million, which was also quite sincere.

    However, the highest bidder was not from countries in Europe or West Asia, but from Lockheed Martin, owned by the world's only superpower, which directly raised the price to US$50 million.

    This does not include if the complete set of technologies of the rd-79-300 vector thrust turbofan afterburning engine and the rd-41 turbofan lift engine equipped on the Yak-41m are transferred to Lockheed Martin, Lockheed Martin will  The financial company will pay Yakovlev Design Bureau an additional US$100 million in technology transfer fees.

    Not only that, Lockheed Martin's financial company will also provide a low-interest loan of US$300 million to the Yakovlev Design Bureau. The interest rate is based on the United Nations' preferential loan interest rate for supporting underdeveloped countries, which is almost interest-free.

    After receiving this news, Maleshevsky and all the executives of the Yakovlev Design Bureau were so excited that they almost lost their souls. The aircraft transfer fee was 50 million, plus at least 100 million for the aero-engine transfer.  , plus 300 million low-interest loans, the total is 450 million US dollars.

    A total of 450 million U.S. dollars, which is like rain from heaven for the Yakovlev Design Bureau and even Russia as a whole, whose economic situation is deteriorating.

    Not to mention being excited, I almost went crazy!

    Afterwards, a series of contacts also excited Maleshevsky to the point where he couldn't help himself, because the conditions offered by the Americans were so good that they exploded.

    Because Lockheed Martin actually invited the Yakovlev Design Bureau to participate in the JSF Joint Strike Fighter project they just successfully bid for, and clearly pointed out that the Yakovlev Design Bureau can get a 28% share, which is still different from the 27.4% borne by the United States.  It should be high and become the partner with the highest proportion among the many participating countries.

    The reason given by Lockheed Martin is also very good, that is, Yakovlev has been committed to the development of vertical take-off and landing fighters since the 1960s, and is the most experienced and technologically advanced manufacturer in the field of vertical take-off and landing fighters in the world today.  Manufacturer, therefore, as US-Russian relations enter a new stage, and it also reflects an important symbol of the West's acceptance of Russia, Lockheed Martin hopes that the Yakovlev Design Bureau can join the JSF Joint Strike Fighter project.

    Not only are they rich, but they can also join the JSF Joint Strike Fighter, which is known as the largest cooperation project in the history of the aviation industry. More importantly, they can be recognized by the West. This pair of people are so focused on rushing into the embrace of the West that they even want to skin a bear in exchange for it.  For Russia, wearing a tuxedo is simply more tempting than giving honey.

    So without waiting for Maleshevsky to think about it, senior officials from the relevant Russian departments began to personally intervene. Of course, Maleshevsky did not feel that he would suffer from the cooperation with Lockheed Martin. After all, the technical arrangements of the Yakovlev Design Bureau  Over there, regardless of anything else, as far as vertical take-off and landing fighters are concerned, at this moment the Yakovlev Design Bureau is ranked second, and no one dares to be ranked first.

    Therefore, it is natural to assume 28% of the share, not to mention that once the project is successful, Yakovlev Design Bureau will not only be able to turn around, but even rely on cooperation with the West to surpass Sukhoi and become  The most handsome kid in the Russian aviation industry.

    After all, there are many participants in the JSF Joint Strike Fighter project, and the market prospects are extremely broad. It is initially estimated that there will be a production of at least 5,000 aircraft, 28% of 5,000 aircraft, which is an astronomical figure.

    So with the help of Russian officials and the following of Yakovlev Design Bureau executives such as Maleshevsky, a technology transfer contract worth US$150 million was quickly reached with the Americans.  , and a $300 million low-interest loan agreement.

    However, just as the Yakovlev Design Bureau prepared the full set of technical data for the Yak-41m vertical takeoff and landing fighter, as well as the equipped rd-79-300 vector thrust turbofan afterburner engine and rd-41 turbofan lift engine.  It will be delivered to Lockheed Martin in exchange for technology transfer fees and low-interest loans.

    Lockheed Martin suddenly issued a statement through the media: The JSF Joint Strike Fighter they developed has achieved a major technological breakthrough and was successfully completed.With the test flight of take-off and landing, the project will now enter the third stage, which is the mass production of the test model.

    As for the rumored claim that Lockheed Martin's technical solution has obtained the full set of technologies for the Yak-41m vertical take-off and landing fighter from Russia's Yakovlev Design Bureau, it is pure nonsense. Lockheed Martin did not do so in the past, does not do so now, and will not do so in the future.  Using Russian technology on American fighter planes is an insult and insult to us.

    Lockheed Martin did not inform Yakovlev Design Bureau of this news in advance. Maleshevsky and other Yakovlev Design Bureau executives saw it through satellite TV broadcast.

    At that time, the entire Yakovlev Design Bureau, including Maleshevsky, was deceived.

    ???????????? The agreement has been signed and the deal is about to be concluded, but Lockheed Martin suddenly changed its mind. What happened?

    So Maleshevsky made an overseas phone call to the person in charge of the Lockheed Martin project in the United States. When he asked, Maleshevsky felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

    Because the Lockheed Martin project leader not only told him clearly that there was no technology transfer agreement between the two parties at all, but only a letter of intent from the Yakovlev Design Bureau to join the JSF Joint Strike Fighter project.

    It was expected to invest US$450 million, but because there was no funds, it applied for a loan from a financial institution in the United States. However, Lockheed Martin rejected Yakovlev's request in the interest of national security. As for the resulting huge loan, that was  Their business is about Yakovlev and Wall Street, not Lockheed Martin.

    When signing the contract with the Americans, Maleshevsky felt it was a bit complicated. However, out of trust in the Americans, Maleshevsky did not study these contracts seriously. Hearing what the person in charge of the Lockheed Martin project said,  Maleshevsky put down the phone and immediately took the contract and read it word for word. He was completely dumbfounded.

    It turns out that the Americans made a vague and vicious conspiracy in the ten-point contract.

    Some are similar to the poison pill plans in listed companies. It's okay to take out each one individually. As long as a certain mechanism is activated, the entire contract system will take effect at the same time. Then, it will be like a noose tightening around Yakovlev's neck.  Stifled until death from suffocation.

    ?? 450 million U.S. dollars was so important to the Yakovlev Design Bureau before; it is so heavy for them now.

    However, all this is just the beginning. With the continuous fluctuation of interest rates, the interest generated by the US$450 million can be said to be rolling up like a donkey. In this way, Maleshevsky, who was already deceived and angry  I simply didn¡¯t want to give it back and was going to lie down and hold it up.

    The result was a collective boycott by European and American countries, which made aircraft and products marked with the Yak completely unavailable. As a result, the already low market share was completely wiped out.

    Even some financial institutions and corporate entities in Russia are following the example of Europe and the United States. Under such circumstances, the Yakovlev Design Bureau is not only worsening the situation, but is simply dying.

    Seeing the Yakovlev Design Bureau coming to an end, just when the relevant Russian departments asked Maleshevsky for his opinion and asked him to choose whether to merge with Sukhoi or Mikoyan, Zhuang Jianye, who had been paying attention to the development of the situation,  , suddenly waving the saving brilliance of the white horse knight, and taking the Ascendas Group to hand Maleshevsky a life-saving straw!
