Chapter 232 White Shark Frigate Becomes the Final Winner
Sun Yong's voice was trembling with excitement. He kept expressing his gratitude to Lin Chenran: "Thank you, Mr. Lin! Just now, my heart was so nervous, it was beating like a little rabbit in my chest."
"After I finished explaining and introducing the whole thing, I felt relieved."
Before leaving the meeting room, Sun Yong also carefully observed the expressions of the senior leaders of the Yan State Navy.
They are very satisfied with the design of the White Shark frigate.
Lin Chenran's face was filled with a bright smile, and he said happily: "Everyone, if the frigate design submitted by other shipyards is better than ours, so that the senior leaders of the Navy do not adopt our White Shark frigate in the end, don't worry!"
"I am fully prepared and intend to promote it vigorously to Saudi Arabia in the camel region."
"Not long ago, Abdul from Saudi Arabia in the Camel region contacted me and expressed the hope that we could help design a frigate with excellent performance."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, as if observing everyone's reaction.
In the lounge, everyone at the 704 Shipyard, who had originally had some doubts, suddenly seemed to understand something and showed relieved expressions.
It turned out that Lin Chenran did not deceive them, and there were indeed potential customers who had a strong desire to purchase frigates.
……
On the other side, after Lin Chenran and the 704 Shipyard hurriedly left the meeting room, the atmosphere in the spacious and bright meeting room became particularly solemn.
At this moment, the senior leaders of the Yan State Navy who remained in the conference room sat upright, their eyes met, as if sparks could be created.
These battle-hardened and experienced generals seriously discussed whether the White Shark frigate could meet the actual needs of their country's navy.
Mr. Zhang, who was sitting in the first seat, had a weather-beaten face full of traces of time, but his eyes still sparkled with a sharp light.
He looked around at the Yan Nation naval high-ranking officials present with a serious face, and said in a deep and powerful voice: "What do you think of the White Shark frigate design of the 704 Shipyard?"
Mr. Zhang asked the senior naval officers present to express their opinions.
After hearing what Mr. Zhang said, everyone was silent for a while, as if they were all thinking about how to start the conversation.
A moment later, a senior officer of the Yan Nation Navy was the first to break the silence. He cleared his throat and said without hesitation: "In my opinion, the design of the White Shark frigate is much better than the frigate designs of the previous shipyards."
"Its overall performance and various indicators are much stronger than the former, especially in terms of firepower and defense capabilities."
As soon as the senior executive finished speaking, another person nodded in agreement: "That's right! I also think that the design of the White Shark frigate is far ahead of the frigate designs of other shipyards."
“It performs well in terms of hardware facilities, and is also highly forward-looking and adaptable from the perspective of tactical application and strategic planning.”
"If our navy can be equipped with White Shark frigates, I believe it will greatly enhance the strength of our navy."
Another senior general of the Yan Nation Navy, who was wearing a neat military uniform with shining epaulettes, frowned and said in a heavy tone: "The power output device used by the White Shark frigate comes from the Hurricane diesel engine independently developed and produced by our 704 Shipyard."
"The rest of the domestic shipyards generally choose to import engines from abroad."
"If there is a real war, once these engines are damaged, given the current situation, our navy may find it difficult to obtain sufficient number of engines for replacement and repair."
"In this case, won't those once majestic frigates become a pile of useless scrap metal?"
As he spoke, he slammed the table in front of him hard, his eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness. The heart of the warship cannot be controlled by other countries.
Although warship engines have a lower damage rate than aircraft engines.
But no one can guarantee that the engine will not break down under continuous high-intensity work.
Another general who was also in a high position nodded slightly and agreed, "That's right! The White Shark frigate does have many significant advantages."
"It is large in size, fast in speed, has strong combat effectiveness, and its daily maintenance costs are relatively low." As these senior generals discussed enthusiastically, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became tense and heated.
More and more senior naval officials are expressing their opinions.
After ten minutes of discussion, Mr. Zhang coughed lightly, and the endless arguments in the conference room disappeared instantly.
A group of senior leaders of the Yan Kingdom Navy turned their eyes to Mr. Zhang in front of them, waiting for him to speak.
"Let's take a vote now. Those who support Plan 1, please raise your hands..."
When making a resolution, you have to raise your hand to agree.
If a majority of notifications are received, the plan will be passed.
After 10 seconds, none of the senior leaders of the Yan State Navy in the conference room raised their hands in agreement.
"Raise your hands if you support the design of the No. 2 frigate..."
Still no senior naval leader raised his hand to support this plan.
"Raise your hands if you support the White Shark frigate design proposed by the 704 Shipyard!!!"
Mr. Zhang was the first to raise his hand and vote in favor.
Other senior leaders of the Yan State Navy also responded quickly, raising their hands high.
The White Shark frigate design of the 704 Shipyard was approved unanimously.
The frigate order for the Yan State Navy will be given to the 704 Shipyard.
Mr. Zhang smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction. This was the result he wanted.
The White Shark frigate design of the 704 Shipyard is indeed far ahead of other shipyards.
This is a fact, not fake.
Zhang Lao said calmly: "Confirm that the design of the White Shark frigate has passed our navy's bidding and will be announced in three days."
"If the top executives from other shipyards come to make trouble, you may briefly introduce the basic parameters of the White Shark frigate, but the important parameters must not be disclosed."
Mr. Zhang certainly knew that after the bidding meeting, there would definitely be senior executives from the shipyard who would come and make a scene, thinking that "a crying child will be loved by everyone."
And now, Mr. Zhang directly emphasized to a group of senior naval officials of Yan State at the meeting that the people in the shipyard must not be allowed to make a big fuss.
You can’t say “a crying child will get orders”.
Before was before!
It's now!
If the Yan State Navy wants to become a powerful navy that goes into the deep blue, it cannot "settle for less".
"We understand!"
"do not worry!"
"No one will come to make trouble."
A number of high-ranking naval officials of Yan State gave their own assurances.
After receiving responses from everyone, Mr. Zhang arranged for everyone to go to the cafeteria for lunch. There was another task in the afternoon: the appraisal of the cruiser design plan.
