Just as Chen Geng signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Ministry of Aviation Industry, at 10 Downing Street, London, thousands of miles away, Miss Elizabeth knocked lightly on the open door to remind her, and when Sir Ralph Robbins turned her head, she reminded softly: "Sir, please come with me." ”

"All right," said Sir Ralph Robbins, who had been waiting for more than half an hour, at once got up, and inquired of Lady Margaret as he went, "Miss Elizabeth, how is Madame feeling today?"

"It's not very good," said Miss Elizabeth, who couldn't help but sigh, "Recently, those fellows from the Labour Party have been talking about the government subsidy for your Rolls-Royce company, and Madame is angry. ”

“......”

Sir Ralph Robbins was a little stunned.

Now Rolls-Royce has almost become a night pot used by the Labour Party to disgust the Conservatives, and whenever the Labour Party wants to disgust the Conservatives, they must be the first to bring out the Rolls-Royce Company. Here's how it works......

The Conservative: "Under our leadership, unemployment is down one percentage point this year from last year. ”

Labour: "You use taxpayers' money to subsidize Rolls-Royce. ”

Conservative: "The priority now is how to deal with the increasingly arrogant provocations of the Argentines, and we should work together to deal with the Argentines." ”

Labour: "You use taxpayers' money to subsidize Rolls-Royce. ”

Conservative: "In order to protect the overseas interests of the British Empire, we need to build a completely new aircraft carrier." ”

Labour: "If it weren't for you using taxpayers' money to subsidize Rolls-Royce, it wouldn't be a problem at all. ”

Conservative: "Can you please not say Rolls-Royce?"

Labour: "The first person to make the decision to subsidise Rolls-Royce was your former Conservative leader, Edward Heath. ”

Conservative: "Nima P!"

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

Rolls-Royce has become shit on the ass of the Conservative Party, every time the Labour Party decides to attack the Conservative Party, Rolls-Royce has almost become a must-do article for the Labour Party, no way, who made the decision to buy Rolls-Royce by the government in 1971, when Rolls-Royce was on the verge of bankruptcy, the then Prime Minister of the British government: Mr. Edward Heath, came from the Conservative Party.

Since then, the Labour Party has been holding on to the Conservative Party's pigtail and refusing to let go, criticizing the Conservative Party on various occasions, accusing the British government of having to inject hundreds of millions of pounds into Rolls-Royce every year to keep Rolls-Royce running because of the Conservative's "public and private use".

With the "tireless" efforts of the Labour Party, the fact that "the Conservative Party subsidizes Rolls-Royce with taxpayers' money" has indeed formed a rather unfavorable impression of the Conservative Party, and the most direct consequence is that the Conservative Party has lost the next two British Prime Minister's elections.

Finally, after losing the qualification to stay at 10 Downing Street twice in a row, the Conservative Party has produced an "Iron Lady", but for the Labour Party, how can the "night pot" of Rolls-Royce be without? Mrs. Margaret Thatcher is about to be annoyed by the damned Labour Party - if a colleague in the company talks about a small mistake you made a few years ago and talks about it in front of the "boss" every day, I guess you will also go crazy.

Sir Ralph Robbins' report of Fernandez Chen's intention to buy the overall design, technology and patents of Rolls-Royce's "Thai" series turbofan engines immediately aroused the interest of Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady, because Sir Ralph Robbins had previously written to her that if the deal could be completed, a contract worth more than £250 million could be finalized, which would completely turn Rolls-Royce's financial situation around.

Where can Mrs. Margaret, who is swiped with Rolls-Royce "copies" by the bastards of the Labour Party every day, be stimulated by this? For the Iron Lady, as long as she can tear off the dogskin plaster of Rolls-Royce from the Conservative Party, let alone whether she can make money or not, it is no problem to make money.

After a few simple and unnutritious pleasantries, Margaret Thatcher, who was about to be mad by the Labour Party, immediately asked Sir Ralph Robbins: "Sir Robbins, can you give me an overview of Fernandes Chen's decision to introduce your company's aero engines?"

"Okay," Sir Ralph Robbins also knew that Rolls-Royce was a piece of the heart of the Conservative Party, and the poor Conservative Party, under the stimulation of the Labour Party, almost became mentally ill, and did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said to the Iron Lady: "Mrs. Margaret, the general situation is like this, previously, Fernandez Chan contacted me through our North American branch, hoping to invest in the new generation of F28 aircraft project of the Dutch Fokker Aircraft Manufacturing Company through me......"

"That's ...... so"

Mrs. Margaret nodded frequently, and under the introduction of Sir Ralph Robbins, she finally understood the cause and effect of the whole thing, and after thinking about it, she asked: "What is the technical level of Fokker's new generation F28? I mean, how is it compared to the mainstream international mainline aircraft, such as the Boeing 737, McDonnell Douglas-80 and the A320 under development by Airbus?"

"The overall technical level of the new generation F28 is very advanced, and from what I have learned from Mr. Fokker, the new generation F28 is even better than the Boeing 737 and McDonnell Douglas 80 in terms of noise level, fuel consumption control and ride comfort.

However, as you know, Fokker is a small aircraft manufacturer after all, and they dare not infringe on the traditional interests of the old giants such as Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, so the passenger capacity of the new generation F28 is only comparable to that of the first-generation Boeing 737 and McDonnell Douglas DC-9, far behind the second-generation Boeing 737 and McDonnell Douglas 80. ”

Mrs. Margaret nodded, as the Prime Minister of the British Empire, she is not very strange to the aviation industry, the first generation of Boeing 737 is Boeing 737-100 and Boeing 737-200, the second generation of Boeing 737 is Boeing 737-300/400/500, and the passenger capacity has also increased from 104 people in Boeing 737-200 (high-density all-economy layout) to 118 and 737 of Boeing 737-300 - 400 people of 168 (all high-density all-economy class layout).

The first-generation DC-9 and the second-generation DC-9, that is, the MD-80, have improved their passenger capacity similar to that of the Boeing 737, both of which have increased the carrying capacity from 100 to 160 seats in one fell swoop.

"In other words, the 'Tai' series of engines can safely meet the power needs of the new generation of F28?"

"Yes. Sir Ralph Robbins replied without hesitation.

Margaret's wife frowned and asked, "So, is there a possibility that our technical secrets will be leaked?" After all, according to Mr. Fernandez, the technology of the 'Tai' series of engines is shared by him with the Huaxia people. ”

Although she has long wanted to tear off the dog skin plaster of Rolls-Royce from the Conservative Party, as the British Prime Minister, Mrs. Margaret is still very competent, and she even planned to give Rolls-Royce away at one time, but now when the matter comes, her instinct immediately kicks in.

Hearing this question from Mrs. Margaret, Sir Ralph Robbins breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Madam, you don't have to worry about this problem at all, the 'Thai' series engine is the first generation of high-thrust turbofan engine developed by our Rolls-Royce company, the latter is accurate, it is more than half, a little larger than the thrust-to-weight ratio of the 'Spey' series, and the fuel consumption rate is also the first, but after all, he is a civil aviation engine with a technical level in the sixties, and it can be sold to the Chinese people safely." ”

"Oh?" said the Margaret woman, raising an eyebrow, "Can you tell me your reason? Frankly, you can't convince me of this reason." ”

"Of course," Sir Ralph Robbins nodded immediately, for this day, he had been preparing for a long time, the reason was, of course, to open his mouth: "First choice, a few years ago we sold the technology, overall design and patent of the 'Spey' MK202 military turbofan engine to the Chinese, and the technology of the 'Thai' MK650-8 turbofan engine that Fernandez Chen intends to introduce is actually comparable to the 'Spey' K202, and in some places even inferior to the 'Spey' MK202...... You know, in many places, civilian engines are still not comparable to military engines after all. ”

"Hmmm......"

Mrs. Margaret responded, Huaxia introduced the overall design, technology and patent of the "Spey" MK202 military turbofan engine from Rolls-Royce, she knows, after all, it was in 1975, only a few years have passed, if the technical level of the "Thai" MK650-8 is comparable to the "Spey" MK202, and in some places it is even weaker than the "Spey" MK202, then as Sir Ralph Robbins said, the "Thai" MK650— 8 It was really nothing to sell to the Huaxia and Fernández Chen, and she nodded, motioning for Sir Ralph Robbins to continue.

"Secondly, we have a better engine," said Sir Ralph Robbins, who couldn't help but get excited: "As you know, we at Rolls-Royce have entered the final stage of negotiations with Pratt Whitney Aero Engines, Dongying Aero Engines, Fiat Aerospace and MTU Aero Engines, and by next summer at the latest, we will develop a new generation of turbofan engines with a thrust of more than 100 kN.

This engine will be completed in 88 or 89 years at the latest, and the official installation will be completed, compared to our new engine and CFM CFM56, the small and medium-sized duct of "Tai" is more than the turbofan engine in terms of fuel consumption, noise, and comfort. After the advent of a new generation of more efficient aero engines, they Fokker will purchase a low-power version of the engine for the new generation of F28, so ......"

Therefore, we are now selling the "Tai" series of engines to Fernandes Chen and the Huaxia people, not only do we not have to worry about them competing with us in the market, but we can even take this opportunity to make a lot of money.

"I see. ”

Sir Ralph Robbins had already said it so clearly, what was there that Lady Margaret did not understand? She immediately had a look of "so it is" on her face, and nodded happily and said, "In that case, then...... No problem! You Rolls-Royce can negotiate with Mr. Fernandez Chan about the transfer of the 'Thai' series of aircraft engines, and the British Government will be happy to see this happen. ”

After a pause, Lady Margaret said, "I will ask the British Empire Zhu Huaxia Embassy to help you keep an eye on Fernandez Chen's whereabouts and movements in Huaxia. ”

"Thank you very much, dear lady," Sir Ralph Robbins' face suddenly burst into laughter, it would be great to know Fernández Chen's movements in Huaxia, and what contacts he had with people in Huaxia, he rolled his eyes: "Madam, I still have an idea, if this idea can be approved by the government, Rolls-Royce can turn a profit in the year after next at most." ”

"Oh?"

Hearing Sir Ralph Robbins say this, Lady Margaret immediately raised her eyebrows with an interested look.
