Chapter 1202 - Careful First Step
Wang Dazhi and the others looked at Chen Geng, their eyes were full of awe!
Before the night before, although everyone knew that their boss was the richest man in the United States, and heard that they had a good relationship with the current president of the United States, as well as many former former presidents, former cabinet members, and former senior Pentagon officials, but after all, rumors were just rumors, and everyone was well versed in the truth of bragging, for example, some people in China might just have a meal at a banquet attended by a heavyweight leader in the city, and after going back, they could boast to others that they knew the leader and how much the leader admired him
So after all, there is still a question mark in everyone's hearts about these rumors: Is this rumor too exaggerated?
But last night, when I saw First Lady Hillary Clinton, who was accompanying President Bill Jr. on a state visit to Europe but rushed back from Europe for this banquet, I looked at many senators and current or former cabinet members, and at the ambassadors and counselors of foreign embassies and consulates in the United States......
Looking at these big shots, Wang Dazhi and others were frightened by the deep connections of their own chairman: it turns out that the boss is a hot cow X!
It's not an ordinary Niu X, it's the kind of Niu X who broke through the sky, who has ever seen the first lady who accompanied her husband on a state visit rushed back to attend this banquet and rushed back after the banquet was over?
No!
Never!
What does this mean?
This shows that the influence of his boss in the United States is far beyond his imagination, this is a super thigh, in a word: hug! hug it is over!
Looking at Wang Dazhi and the others with a restrained face, Chen Geng smiled and greeted him kindly: "Sit, everyone go and sit, relax, don't be so nervous." ”
Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, after all, you still sit down next to the small half of the sofa.
Wang Dazhi and others came to the United States this time, nominally to further communicate with McDonnell Douglas on the cooperation between the two sides, but in fact, they came to stop Chen Geng's next development plan for COMAC. But looking at everyone's restrained appearance, Chen Geng didn't immediately open the topic, but said with a smile: "What's the matter? Just a few guests who you haven't seen on weekdays scared you like this?"
"Hey......
"Hehe......"
Wang Dazhi and the others, you look at me, I look at you, seeing that Chen Geng still looked as kind as before, he scratched his head unconsciously, his mood relaxed a lot, he smirked, and Wang Dazhi was the first to open his mouth: "Chairman, don't blame us, the banquet the night before yesterday was just in time for the United Nations General Assembly, such a high-end banquet, do you think we can not be afraid? Don't you know, I didn't dare to eat a few bites of food, for fear of embarrassing the country." ”
That's it!
The crowd of people who didn't dare to interject casually nodded their heads again and again, and used practical actions to express their attitudes: The scene the night before yesterday was really scary.
"You guys," Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "You are my people, on my territory, who dares to laugh at you?"
This is domineering, Wang Dazhi and others have a hot current flowing through their hearts, and it is really everyone's luck to have such a boss who protects his subordinates.
"In the future, you all remember for me, we don't cause trouble, but we are definitely not afraid of things, as long as it is not our fault, who dares to provoke us, even if you clean them up for me, you can't clean them up, and then there will be me," Chen Geng's tone was a little heavier: "Don't be afraid!"
No one spoke, but everyone nodded heavily.
"Chairman," Wang Dazhi was the first to stand up: "I would like to report to you the progress of the latest improved Y-12F of the Y-12 transport aircraft, as of last month, the progress of the Y-12F projects is being carried out in an orderly manner, and it is expected that the first high-speed taxiing test can be carried out at the end of the year, and if everything goes well, the first test flight can be carried out at the beginning of next year." ”
Y-12F is the latest modification of the Y-12 series of light transport aircraft, compared with the previous models, the biggest feature of the Y-12F is that the non-retractable landing gear has been changed to a retractable type, in addition, the main wing struts have been removed, after these two improvements to the aircraft, compared with the previous model, the Y-12F not only instantly improved the appearance of a large section.
In addition, in fact, the Y-12F has three "small" improvements that are not easy to be noticed, one is to replace the engine with higher power, the second is that the fuselage length has been lengthened by 1.5 meters, in addition, the wing has also been re-modified, compared with the previous model, the wing area has increased, and the volume of the wing fuel tank has also increased accordingly.
After these comprehensive improvements, the comprehensive performance of the Y-12F light transport aircraft has been greatly improved, if it is a passenger model, you can add two rows of a total of 6 seats, after these two improvements, the maximum load capacity of the Y-12F has increased to 2.8 tons, and the Y-12F of later generations is almost the same, in addition, because the aerodynamic shape of the whole aircraft during flight is cleaner, the performance of the engine is more powerful, not only the maximum range has increased by 500 kilometers, but also the maximum flight speed and cruising speed have also increased significantly.
Of course, these are all calculated data, and whether or not they can achieve this data depends on the performance during the test flight.
Chen Geng smacked his lips and groaned, and asked Wang Dazhi, "In this case, it can't participate in the Canadian Airshow in September?"
"It's better not to participate, it's too risky," Wang Dazhi shook his head: "But we can bring a model over, and if anyone is interested in this aircraft, we can introduce him to the details of this aircraft and the progress of the project." ”
Chen Geng nodded: "It's okay, then take the model with you." ”
Let an aircraft that has not yet made its first flight go to the ocean to participate in the air show, just like Wang Dazhi said, the risk is indeed too great, in case something goes wrong, it is not a good thing for the company's image, it is better not to go at all.
"Boss, what should we do with this air show?" Wang Dazhi said worriedly: "This is the first time we have gone abroad, and it is also the first time that our Chinese aviation manufacturing enterprises have gone abroad. ”
As for the participation of COMAC in the Canadian Airshow this fall, from the official announcement of COMAC in the industry, the domestic aviation field is in an uproar.
The reason is what Wang Dazhi said, one is that there is no similar air show in our country, and we used to go abroad to participate in air shows, basically with the attitude of opening our eyes and gaining insight, and we went to the exhibition as an exhibitor?
This has never been the case.
In this way, the problem comes, if you lose people at the air show, you will really lose face abroad.
What to do?
Why don't you just go to the exhibition?
