After thinking about it carefully, Guo Wenxiang is really a little excited: in terms of technology and level, Siemens, MTU, Rolls-Royce, General Electric and even Dongying Mitsubishi have far surpassed the technical level of natural gas gas turbines in China, although the introduction of technology from these companies will certainly not be cheap, but there is one point, that is, there is at least no problem in terms of reliability.

As far as the "West-to-East Gas Transmission" project is concerned, what is the first place? It is not the cost of the project, not the construction period, but the reliability -- even if the project cost is cheap, after the entire "West-East Gas Transmission" project is completed, the gas turbine will fail today, and tomorrow there will be a leak in the pipeline that needs to be urgently investigated, can such a project be regarded as a qualified project?

Therefore, it doesn't matter if the cost of the whole project is a little more expensive, and it doesn't matter if you spend more money and time on the preliminary preparations, but once the project is completed, it must be able to operate stably and reliably.

"Is this so?" Guo Wenxiang was really moved: "Won't there be some trouble? After all, our relationship with them is a little tense, are they willing to transfer technology to us?"

Hey!

Is it all so realistic?

Looking at Guo Wenxiang, Chen Geng was a little speechless, but ...... Never mind!

Chen Gengdao: "Capitalists, as long as the money is in place, there is nothing that cannot be discussed, Marx said, as long as there is enough profit, capitalists can even sell and hang themselves on the noose." ”

Guo Wenxiang's heart suddenly cooled in half!

Now but in 1992, in the past two years, China's economic and trade exchanges with Europe and the United States have been completely cold, and if you want to let large industrial gas turbine manufacturers in Europe and the United States transfer relevant technology to China, it is certainly impossible to bleed without bleeding, just like Chen Geng said, the money must be in place, but the country now needs money in all aspects, and how much money can be taken out to introduce relevant technologies to the "West-East Gas Pipeline"?

Alas, in the final analysis, this matter still can't be bypassed Chen Geng, who makes the family rich?

With a thought, Guo Wenxiang asked Chen Geng tentatively again, "That's ...... Mr. Chen, what if we work together?"

"Oh?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows: "What kind of tripartite cooperation method?"

"Isn't there already a successful example of the automobile industry's 'market for technology' in front of you," Guo Wenxiang's eyes lit up, obviously he was also able to get this method that he suddenly came up with: "Since there is mature experience to learn from, let's also engage in a market exchange technology in the gas turbine industry." ”

Although Chen Geng never thinks that the "market for technology" of the domestic automobile industry is successful, since the official itself thinks it is successful, then it will be successful, as the biggest beneficiary of "market for technology", Chen Geng will naturally not be stupid enough to dismantle his own platform. He nodded and said, "You go on." ”

"Generally speaking, we take the gas turbine of the domestic gas transmission pipeline as the market, and then we form a joint inspection team organized by the Ministry of Aviation Industry and COMAC Group to inspect the outstanding foreign industrial gas turbine enterprises and select the enterprises with strong technical strength in the field of pipeline gas turbines that are interested in cooperating with us as partners.

After selecting the partners, we will set up a joint company with technology, market and capital to achieve self-sufficiency in gas pipeline gas turbines, what do you think?"

Chen Geng frowned.

Theoretically, Guo Wenxiang's idea is indeed feasible, but if I remember correctly, until 2015, when I came back, the domestic gas turbine market for natural gas transmission pipelines was monopolized by General Electric of the United States, Sola Turbine under Carter Beeller of the United States and Rolls-Royce of the United Kingdom. Royce monopolized the gas turbine market of more than 20MW (20,000KW), while the gas turbine market of less than 20MW was firmly held by Sola Turbine, and even Germany's Siemens and Japan's Mitsubishi failed to get a piece of the pie.

Moreover, General Electric, Sola Turbine and Rolls-Royce are not joint ventures with domestic gas turbine companies, and the gas turbine main engines required for domestic natural gas transmission pipelines are basically imported from these three companies, but a certain proportion of auxiliary equipment is purchased in China - even if it is auxiliary equipment, the proportion of procurement is not high.

Therefore, Guo Wenxiang's idea is very good, but I am afraid that in the end, he can only use the bamboo basket to draw water, but Chen Geng will not say it to stimulate him: before he didn't hit a bag, he thought that his good intentions wanted to monopolize this market, in this case, why should he be this villain?

However, Chen Geng's frowning appearance made Guo Wenxiang a little worried: "What's the matter, is it difficult?"

"It's really difficult, it can be said to be very difficult," Chen Geng nodded, and didn't hide it from Guo Wenxiang: "After all, the technical content of the automobile industry can't be compared with gas turbines, and you also know that the vast majority of gas turbines for gas pipelines are not industrial gas turbines developed from scratch, but gas turbines that are 'converted from aviation to combustion', to some extent." The core engine of the gas turbine is almost the same as the corresponding turbofan engine, and the extent of the West's technological blockade of Huaxia in terms of high-performance gas turbines I believe you also know, so I am not very optimistic about ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Geng shrugged: "But if you insist, COMAC can also accept your entrustment and accompany the inspection team of the Ministry of Aviation Industry as a technical consultant to go out for inspection, and at the same time provide technical advice." ”

Hearing Chen Geng's words, Guo Wenxiang smiled bitterly: "Are you not optimistic?"

Chen Geng shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, this is the default...... Hey, what acquiesced, that's the recognition.

"How could I not have known that what you said was the truth?" Guo Wenxiang sighed: "But if I don't try, I will always be unwilling." ”

Chen Geng nodded and said: "Then try it, anyway, the West-East Gas Transmission Project will definitely not start in the next five or six years, and it is completely timely in time, and it is not a good thing to take advantage of this time to confirm it." ”

"Then try it," Guo Wenxiang responded: "Just like you said, there is still plenty of time to control us." ”

....................................

Since there is no hurry, Chen Geng is not willing to stay in the capital: he also wants to see how far the test flight of the F120 has progressed.

The F120 test flight team of COMAC Group, which is conducting flight tests in cold areas, is in the cold black province at the moment, and when Chen Geng rushed to the ice city, the oncoming cold wind made Chen Geng shiver: "It's really cold!"

Raylani Taylor nodded tremblingly, "God, how can there be such a cold place?"

Less than a minute after getting off the plane, Leilani Taylor's nose was already red from the cold, and she sneezed a few times in a row - although before getting up to come to Ice City, Chen Geng had already suggested that she bring two warm down jackets, but Leilani Taylor, who had never been to the subarctic zone, had no concept of the temperature above minus 20 degrees at all. The thinner kind of thin style, this kind of down jacket can be worn in the winter in temperate areas, and a thermal underwear and cashmere sweater can also be used to survive the winter, but if you come to Bingcheng, which is already very close to the cold zone, the subarctic region...... God taught Leilani what it means to be in awe of Daddy Nature!

Seeing that Leilani was eager to stuff her head into her clothes, Chen Geng smiled: "This is not bad, if you come here at the coldest time of the year, your nose will be frozen for you." ”

"Really?"

Leilani Taylor exclaimed, this temperature is already unimaginably low, what will it be like when it was the coldest year ago?

"Of course it's true," Speaking of this, Chen Geng's heart suddenly became mischievous: "And at this low temperature, the properties of many substances will undergo some magical changes, such as iron, which is sweet at this low temperature." ”

"Really?!"

Leilani Taylor's already big eyes suddenly widened: "Impossible, right?

"Hehe......"

Chen Geng didn't answer, but shrugged his shoulders and gave Leilani Taylor an unfathomable expression of "guess what I'm saying is true".

Looking at her boss's expression, Leilani Taylor was a little uncertain in her heart, her knowledge told her that iron would become brittle at low temperatures, but how could it be sweet? This makes no sense, but looking at the boss's serious expression doesn't look like he is lying, so ...... Could it be true?

Looking at the thick snow on the lawn of the airport, a thought suddenly popped into Leilani Taylor's mind: maybe it has something to do with the special local climate here?

However, Leilani Taylor was not stupid enough to believe it without saying a word, her eyes rolled twice, she deliberately took a few steps behind Chen Geng, and asked the staff of COMAC who came to pick her up in a low voice: "Sir, just now the boss said that the current iron is sweet, is it true? Does it have anything to do with the climate here?"

This man, who was obviously born in the Northeast, heard the words of the beautiful female secretary of his big boss, and his eyes widened: This girl, isn't she stupid?

And Chen Geng, who was walking in front, was talking to Wang Dazhi, who came on purpose......

"Chen Dong, Mr. Li of China Eastern Airlines asked me, when will we start manufacturing the prototype of the Tu-204?"

"What?" Chen Geng was a little surprised: "China Eastern Airlines wants to purchase this kind of 200-seat aircraft?"

"Yes," Wang Dazhi nodded: "They want to purchase an aircraft similar to the Boeing 757, with a larger passenger capacity, which can carry international flights within 5,000 kilometers, but the Boeing 757 is too expensive." ”
