Chen Geng pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "What you said is not unreasonable......

“......”

Guo Rui didn't speak, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

But then, Chen Geng said: "But it doesn't matter, I'm not short of money for this production line." ”

“......”

Guo Rui was stunned.

Chen Geng said to himself: "Director Guo, I don't know if you know that our COMAC Group established a new subsidiary engaged in the research and development and manufacturing of small aviation power some time ago?"

And what's going on?

Guo Rui really didn't know about this, he subconsciously looked at Wang Dazhi, who had been like a mud bodhisattva since the beginning of the meeting.

Wang Dazhi coughed lightly and explained to Guo Rui in a low voice: "There is such a thing, our Chen Dong attaches great importance to this project, and spent a lot of money to recruit Mr. Collins McKenney, the top designer of Rolls-Royce Engine Group, and Mr. Collins McKennie is the general leader of the project and the chief designer ......."

"That's not right," Guo Rui couldn't care about it anymore, and hurriedly interrupted Wang Dazhi's words: "Mr. Collins McKennie, you're a top expert in turbines......, right? Aren't they piston aero engines?"

"Our small aviation development project is a turbine," Wang Dazhi glanced at Chen Geng, and then explained to Guo Rui: "According to our Chen Dong's plan, our small aviation development project is similar to Pratt · Whitney Canada's PT6 series of approach, from the same core engine to develop two series of turboshaft and turboprop, the future will also develop aviation APU auxiliary power series, according to different user needs and market positioning, this engine has different power tuning, the maximum output shaft power from 100 horsepower has been covered to 400 horsepower.

According to the overall long-term plan of the group, the goal is to take advantage of the low domestic labor and export tax rebate concessions, at a price 30% higher than the international output power level of the same level of piston aero engines, and international piston aero engine manufacturers such as Lycomingming, Continental and Rotex to grab market ......".. <

Speaking of this, Wang Dazhi hesitated, gritted his teeth, and revealed more information to Guo Rui: "Now the whole project is progressing steadily. ”

“......”

After listening to Wang Dazhi's introduction, Guo Rui already understood what Chen Geng meant: this small aviation production line was originally to be built, if we can't reach an agreement on the cooperation of piston aviation development, then we will use our own small turboprop aviation development.

I knew this was the case, so what was it just now?

He had the urge to scold MMP in his heart: Pig teammate, you didn't tell me earlier about such important news?!

Now, the only thing Guo Rui is glad about in his heart is that the small aviation development project of COMAC Group did not threaten the turboshaft-8A and turboprop-9 products of the 331 factory - according to Wang Dazhi's introduction, the power coverage of these two series of engines is between 100 horsepower and 400 horsepower, but the power of the turboshaft-8A turboshaft engine and the turboprop-9 turboprop engine is 602 horsepower, but it is appropriate to threaten the piston-6.

"If that's the case, Chen Dong ......" Looking at Chen Geng, Guo Rui's face was a little ugly: "Why do you want to cooperate with us to improve the Piston-6?"

"Two reasons," Chen Geng said of course: "One is that the procurement cost of the piston-6 is lower, and the second, according to our estimates, our engine will take three years to put into use at the earliest, and if it is sold in the international market, it will take time to obtain airworthiness certification in European countries and the United States." ”

“......”

Guo Rui didn't speak, and he had a feeling in his heart: Nima! Feelings for our piston-6 is that before the ancient ladies got married, they were sent to the man to try the trial marriage girl who the man couldn't do, what is this special thing called.

Seeing Guo Rui's depression, Chen Geng turned his head to Wang Dazhi and asked, "Comrade Dazhi, did you tell Director Guo that we would not stop producing Y11?"

"I said it. Wang Dazhi nodded honestly.

Chen Geng turned around and comforted Guo Rui: "Director Guo, you can rest assured, even if our small aviation development is successful in a few years, for the reason of positioning, Y11 will give priority to equipping cheaper pistons - 6,331 factory and Hafei factory have cooperated for so many years, this friendship must be there, at present, the premise is that the piston - 6 can reach our level in terms of fuel consumption, power, reliability and quality." ”

Guo Rui once again had the urge to scold his mother in his heart: How do I feel that your COMAC Group is giving us a handout to our 331 factory?

But when he thought that COMAC would use foreign currency as the settlement method for purchasing engines, Guo Rui kept telling himself in his heart: it was the US dollar, the British pound, the Japanese yen, the franc and even the mark...... The fastest network update on the computer:

"What about the technical improvements of the turboprop-9 and the turboshaft-8?" After a period of silence, Guo Rui finally spoke.

Chen Geng's heart was overjoyed!

Guo Rui's meaning of this is clearly acquiescing to the improvement requirements for the piston-6 that he put forward before, and immediately said: "The turboshaft-8A and turboprop-9 are supporting projects for the Z-9 and Yun-12, as long as the product meets the requirements for product quality in the contract we signed before, of course we will continue to perform the contract." ”

That's pretty much it.

Seeing Chen Gengken admit his account, Guo Rui felt a lot more comfortable.

But just when he wanted to say something, Chen Geng spoke again, and he said to Guo Rui sincerely: "Director Guo, let me tell you the truth, for the Y11, Y12 and Z9 aircraft, I have high hopes for their performance in the international market, and as the most important supporting subsystem, the overall performance of the engine directly affects the reputation of an aircraft and affects the long-term sales, so I have a suggestion, do you want to listen to it?"

Although he had just been cheated by Chen Geng, since Chen Geng had already said so, Guo Rui couldn't help but give this face, and nodded reluctantly: "Please speak." ”

Chen Geng: "In order to see the complete localization of the vortex-8 and turboprop-9 as soon as possible, we COMAC can provide certain financial and technical support, and if there is a need on the 331 factory, we can also give a certain amount of Galaxy-I computer time." ”

Guo Rui's eyes widened!

Regarding Chen Geng's words, Guo Rui's first reaction was "What are you kidding?!", followed by "Could this guy have some conspiracy waiting for Lao Tzu?"

Chen Geng continued: "I know, this sounds a little incredible, but if Factory 331 can realize the localization of turboshaft-8 and turboprop-9 as soon as possible, it will be beneficial for our COMAC, even if it is for our own interests, we will try our best to help you." Of course, since we have paid such a big price to help you, it is normal to renegotiate the individual details of the contract for the supply of engines, right?"

Hearing that Chen Geng was going to revise the individual details of the engine supply contract, Guo Rui was relieved.

Even if you think about it with the soles of your feet, you can understand that if it is really as Chen Geng said, COMAC has contributed money, human resources and even computing resources to help Factory 331 realize the localization of turboshaft-8 and turboprop-9 as soon as possible, they must also have their own interests and demands, asking for a re-revision of the contract, as long as the core supply terms are not greatly modified, this is actually not a big deal, but ......

Guo Rui thought for a while, and finally nodded: "In this case, it's not that it's not negotiable, but there is one thing I have to tell you in advance." ”

"Oh?"

"According to the technology import contract signed between our country and the French, the 'Dolphin' helicopter and the 'Arje' 1C engine we introduced can only be used by ourselves and cannot be exported to Europe. ”

"What should I do," Chen Geng smiled, and he happily agreed: "Don't worry about this, of course we can't break the contract." ”

Is it really that simple?

Seeing that Chen Geng agreed so happily, Guo Rui couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Doesn't this guy have any other calculations in his heart?

How could Guo Rui's little caution in his heart be hidden from Chen Geng? Not to mention that what was already written on his face was clear, he almost said it directly, and while he was amusing in his heart, Chen Geng also explained, making him completely relieved: "Since it is stipulated in the contract, we will definitely implement the contract seriously...... Even if we sell these planes to Europe in breach of contract, do you think we can win the lawsuit in the home camp of the Europeans?"

"This ...... Quite right. Guo Rui nodded, which can be regarded as recognition.

"But I can't sell to Europe, I can sell to North America, South America, Africa, I can't sell to Southeast Asia, so many places on the planet...... Could it be that the introduction contract signed at the beginning stipulates that the 'Dolphin' helicopter and the 'Arye' 1C engine can only be used in China's own country?"

"That's not true," Guo Rui said: "The French are still very arrogant, they only said that they can't buy Europe, and the contract doesn't restrict us from selling the plane to other regions before Europe." ”

"I guess that's the case. Chen Geng nodded.

When it comes to technology in the field of helicopters and turboshaft engines, the gap between Europeans and Americans is still a little worse, in the United States, there are two helicopter giants, Bell and Sikorsky, there is no place for European helicopter companies to stand at all, as for South America, that is the traditional backyard of Americans, so that there is only one Africa.

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

"That's not true," Guo Rui said: "The French are still very arrogant, they only said that they can't buy Europe, and the contract doesn't restrict us from selling the plane to other regions before Europe." "I guess that's the case. Chen Geng nodded.
