After speaking, Professor Zhao turned his head to look at Zhuang Jianye: "Xiaozhuang, I have a reluctant request." ”

You say. Zhuang Jianye hurriedly sat up straight.

"Since Xiao Wu's Xiangzhou factory has been owned by Tengfei Group, can you help them make some helicopter support?"

After listening to Professor Zhao's words, Zhuang Jianye pondered for a while before speaking: "Then can I first understand the specific situation of the helicopter project, after all...... You know, such a big business ......"

"I understand, I understand......" Without waiting for Zhuang Jianye to finish speaking, Professor Zhao smiled and nodded: "If this was placed in the past, I might have criticized you, but now it seems that your approach is still very desirable, at least it is not easy to make such a large enterprise have enough to eat, I will go back at night and carefully sort out the specific materials, and I will talk to you carefully tomorrow." ”

"Let me see, Brother Zhao, don't be so outside, just come to our Tengfei Group, so that your helicopter project can also better contact us, after all, we have to determine the target customer group according to the specific situation of the project. ”

As soon as Professor Zhao's voice fell, before Zhuang Jianye could speak, Liu Chun interjected: "And our target customer group is not limited to China, the group's TM-9 aircraft is very popular in Southeast Asia, so what are the requirements of the customer's helicopter and what performance is needed, which requires us to carefully ponder and slowly improve." ”

Professor Zhao nodded frequently, but hesitated: "Comrade Liu's words are good, but I'm afraid my body is ......."

At the beginning of the year, the newly established aerospace ministry suggested that we set up an advisory committee to let some experienced comrades and experts check our future decision-making.

At that time, the group was busy with the sales of TM-9 aircraft, and did not have time to implement it for a while, if Professor Zhao did not dislike it, would it be good to come to our group's advisory committee as the general consultant?"

In the 80s, with the advancement of institutional reform, a very peculiar institution appeared in the structure of the party and government organs in China, that is, the advisory committee, which was a transitional measure for the transition from the lifelong system of cadres to the retirement system at that time.

Because of the age of other enterprises and the large number of leading cadres who have reached the age of age, other enterprises and institutions have long set up their own advisory committees.

Tengfei Group also wants to get closer to the brother factory, so as not to be less maverick, the problem is that from the 23rd branch to the current Tengfei Group Chief Engineer is less than ten years together, up to the leading cadres, down to the front-line employees are counted as one is in the year of fighting, there is no need for this.

As for the ministry's suggestion that some cadres from other factories or retired leaders from the ministry and commission could be rehired, Zhuang Jianye pretended not to see it, he didn't want to engage a bunch of idlers to eat dry food, and he didn't want to have that money to give benefits to front-line employees and technicians.

Anyway, it was a suggestion, not a forced instruction, and Zhuang Jianye didn't care at all.

But at this time, at that time, Zhuang Jianye didn't want to raise idlers, but he was still very willing to invest in those who had real skills, not to mention that Professor Zhao was not a person at all, not to mention Tong Xia and Wu Ping around him, so many years of protégés are all over the helicopter field, and they are simply a whole helicopter scientific research team.

Under such circumstances, recruiting Professor Zhao into Tengfei Group is tantamount to a kind of reinforcement for himself, which is how can Zhuang Jianye, who is good at seizing opportunities, let it go.

However, Zhuang Jianye's proposal made Professor Zhao jump: "General Counsel?"

was surprised, and then waved his hand again and again: "No, no, it's too high, I can be an ordinary consultant, and the general consultant is too high." ”

"What is the general adviser? It's not high at all, and if you can, I think you can be a senior party official in our group. Liu Chun hurriedly shook his head.

"Lao Liu is right, the general consultant, you deserve to be honest, you must know that the important thing for our group in the future is to develop rotary-wing aircraft, otherwise we will not launch the D-30-Z series turboshaft engine. Zhuang Jianye immediately complied.

Liu Chun nodded tacitly: "Who said it wasn't? It's a pity that we have no experience in this area, and we have no technology, so we can only waste time here." ”

Zhuang Jianye sighed and added helplessly: "So, we are in urgent need of a technical leader who can integrate our technical capabilities and production capacity, professor, you don't want to see these high-level manufacturing capabilities just go waste, right?"

......

The two people who can fool the Tengfei Group the most, and one alone can fool the ordinary people, and the two of them sing and harmonize like this, Professor Zhao is completely dizzy before he can drop much, and finally sighs deeply after hesitating for a while: "Okay, I personally agree in principle, but I still need organizational recognition." ”

"You can rest assured in this regard, I will personally implement it. Zhuang Jianye patted his chest and responded to this little thing.

After a few people had a digression for a while, then got up to see the laser welding workshop next to the electron beam welding workshop, and then visited several other factories, and then turned back to the canteen to eat a meal of chopped pepper fish head, red winding fish and steamed fish made by the master master, and then the guests and hosts left happily.

From the second day, Professor Zhao and his entourage, accompanied by Liu Chun, visited the Zero Degree Factory, the Tengfei Aviation Technology R&D Center, the Tengfei Aviation Power Plant, the Flight Control Research Institute, and the Huancheng Aircraft Factory, a joint venture with McDonnell Douglas.

During this period, Professor Zhao met with the D-30-Z series turboshaft engine, which began the second phase of testing, the fly-by-wire flight control system developed by the Flight Control Institute for the TM-9 aircraft, and a series of high-end manufacturing and production equipment for aerospace production.

In addition to being amazed, constantly revising their helicopter improvement plan, at the same time, the old professor's helicopter project application materials were also reported to the ministry, under the promotion of Zhuang Jianye, and to encourage the independent research and development of enterprises under the background, the ministry's approval was very fast.

The ministry will provide a special support fund of 1 million yuan in accordance with the support policy for independent research and development, and the rest will be borne by Tengfei Group.

Zhuang Jianye didn't even frown at this, because Professor Zhao, who officially became the general counsel of the advisory committee of Tengfei Group, had already submitted him a feasibility report on the development of helicopters.

Between the power system, bearings, materials and part of the manufacturing process required for the helicopter, Tengfei Group can all be independent, coupled with Professor Zhao's design plan that has been polished for so many years, the development cost of the Z-6 improvement plan is very low.

In this case, Zhuang Jianye happily approved the research and development budget of 20 million, and completely entrusted the Zhi6 improvement plan to Professor Zhao, but he himself had to face greater trouble.

During the approval of the Z-6 helicopter plan, McDonnell Douglas's second-phase investment was abruptly terminated, compared with the Z-6 improvement plan of 20 million yuan, McDonnell Douglas's investment reached 350 million US dollars, which had to make Zhuang Jianye seriously deal with it.

So after several contacts with the senior management of McDonnell Douglas to no avail, Zhuang Jianye asked Liszt out, and the two just sat down in the tea restaurant of the newly completed high-end hotel in the center of Sin Chew City, Zhuang Jianye asked straight to the point: "I won't be polite to you anymore, what's going on?"

Liszt shook his head with a wry smile, and then said with a straight face: "Since this is the case, then I will tell the truth, in the face of the domestic economy that is gradually collapsing out of control, how long do you think your Tengfei Group can hold on?"
