Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

To acquire or deal with a company, you must have a comprehensive understanding of the other party's situation, and it would be best to find some good entry points to start things.

Since Sikorsky is already worried about being acquired by Boeing or Lockheed Martin, if they don't want to be acquired, they will definitely have to check whether they have any financial difficulties.

Has your company been caught in any secret?

Only when you have a clear idea in mind can you plan the next step.

However, after confirming it, Ivanchuk did not find any problems with his own company.

Under such circumstances, we certainly cannot allow Boeing and Lockheed Martin to continue to spread all kinds of true and false news to affect the company's reputation.

So he went directly to the other party and took the initiative to express that Sikorsky had no intention of selling.

Through this incident, both Boeing and Lockheed Martin knew that the other party wanted to acquire Sikorsky.

As a result, both sides immediately took new actions.

The fact that the two giants wanted to acquire Sikorsky was officially exposed by the media.

After this information spread, it naturally attracted considerable attention among the American military industry.

Another company that is also very concerned about this matter is AVIC.

As early as 1984, China introduced 24 Black Hawk helicopters from Sikorsky.

Some Black Hawks are still in use today.

"Mr. Cao, do you think Boeing and Lockheed Martin will really acquire Sikorsky?"

For this kind of thing, Zhao Tianling thought it would be better to talk to Cao Yang, maybe he would get something out of it.

Although China can actually do nothing and can only watch the final result.

However, on some strategic issues, Zhao Tianling was still willing to listen to Cao Yang's opinions.

"Boeing wants to acquire Sikorsky because it wants to bring this frequent competitor under its wing, solve a competition problem, and also enrich its own product line."

"As for Lockheed Martin, it is probably more about enriching its own product line, after all, they themselves have not been involved in this field much."

"As for who will win in the end, it is hard to say now. But relatively speaking, Lockheed Martin should be more active in acquiring Sikorsky and more willing to pay a price."

Cao Yang knew that Lockheed Martin had acquired Sikorsky in 2015.

But the current situation has changed a lot, and he cannot guarantee what the final situation will be.

For example, this time Sikorsky won the CH-53 order from India, which he had no impression of happening in history.

"If Sikorsky is acquired by Lockheed Martin, it will be difficult to order spare parts for the Black Hawk helicopters we are still using."

The relationship between Lockheed Martin and AVIC is definitely not as good as that between Sikorsky and other companies whose military attributes are not as strong.

Although 30 years have passed, the Black Hawk helicopters purchased by AVIC are still the best-performing general-purpose helicopters on the plateau.

The Black Hawk helicopter is known as a "jack of all trades". It can not only transport and attack, but also conduct anti-submarine operations and perform special missions. It has spawned nearly 20 models, demonstrating its near-perfect versatility.

The Black Hawk helicopter is 19.76 meters long, 4.05 meters high, and has a rotor diameter of 16.36 meters. Among general-purpose helicopters, it is a very big guy.

The empty weight of the Black Hawk helicopter is 4819 kg, but its maximum take-off weight reaches 9 kg.

This means that, if necessary, a Black Hawk helicopter can even transport cargo heavier than itself.

What's even more outrageous is that the Black Hawk helicopter is equipped with two General Electric T700-GE-701 turboshaft engines, and the horsepower of a single engine reaches 1165 kilowatts.

With the support of super power, the maximum flight speed of the Black Hawk helicopter reaches 357 kilometers per hour.

Even so, its range can still reach 2220 kilometers, far exceeding other helicopters of the same type.

It is no exaggeration to say that judging from performance alone, the Black Hawk helicopter has almost no shortcomings and can be called perfect.

Moreover, over the past few decades, the Black Hawk helicopter has been continuously upgraded and modified, including avionics systems, gearboxes, engines and tail rotors, which has continuously improved its performance.

In order to avoid being copied, Sikorsky installed a self-destruct device in a key part of the export-oriented Black Hawk helicopter. If anyone dares to dismantle it without authorization, the self-destruct system will be activated and the helicopter will basically be scrapped.

It has been 30 years since AVIC introduced the Black Hawk helicopter, but it has not yet developed a domestically produced version.

This is also the reason why Cao Yang previously wanted Venusstar Technology to benchmark the Black Hawk helicopter and develop a medium-sized general-purpose helicopter of its own.

"Mr. Zhao, I don't think you need to worry too much about this aspect."

“Let’s not talk about whether Lockheed Martin or Boeing’s acquisition of Sikorsky will affect the after-sales maintenance business of Black Hawk helicopters.”

"Even if there is an impact, we can hand over the relevant business to Venusstar Technology. The helicopter we developed based on the Black Hawk is basically already undergoing prototype testing and will be finalized soon."

Cao Yang's words made Zhao Tianling feel relieved.

If anyone else said this to him, he would definitely just ignore it.

Can you successfully complete the repair without using original parts?

You easily accomplished something that AVIC has been working on for 30 years but still hasn’t figured out?

impossible!

Well, if it is Venustech, then it is still possible.

"The Black Hawk helicopters should have sold at least 5000 units worldwide. If the performance of the helicopters you produce is comparable to that of the Black Hawk, or even better, then the sales volume is worth looking forward to."

"The domestic market demand alone exceeds 2000 aircraft."

Compared with heavy-duty transport aircraft, the market demand for general-purpose medium-sized transport aircraft is obviously much greater.

There will be more areas where they can be applied. China is so big that the demand for 2000 aircraft is not too exaggerated.

The most important thing is that after being localized, the price will definitely be cheaper than the imported Black Hawk.

This result will take sales to a higher level.

"Then I'll take your good words and hope that our helicopters will sell well by then."

Cao Yang was not being humble there.

After all, the market for helicopters of the Black Hawk type is indeed very worth looking forward to.

Whether at home or abroad, you can find a lot of demand.

After finishing the call with Zhao Tianling, Zhao Siyu also came over to discuss the same topic.

Even though China can only passively accept the result of this matter, in Zhao Siyu's opinion, taking advantage of the popularity of Sikorsky's acquisition, the same type of helicopter produced by Venusstar Technology can also become a hot topic.
