"Of course," Paolo Cesa Silva shrugged, "so we showed our sincerity." ”

"I see it," Chen Geng nodded, indicating that he was very satisfied with Embraer's previous approach, "So, how do you want me to help you? Is it that you encountered technical problems that were difficult to solve during the development of the EMB-145, and I hope to give you some help in terms of technology for COMAC?"

"It's not just the technical aspects," Paulo Cesa Silva said calmly, without blushing, "and there are some financial problems. ”

"So?"

"My father and I both know that you are a very powerful person, and you have strong connections and connections in the U.S. government as well as in the Pentagon," Paul Cesa Silva finally revealed his purpose, "Can you take some shares in our company?"

I see!

Paulo Cesa Silva said that Chen Geng didn't know what the Brazilians were up to: they wanted to hug their thighs.

Yes, Brazilians do want to hug Chen Geng's thighs, for Embraer, the population of Brazil, and the total population of the entire South American country, can not make them make the EMB-145, a 50-seat regional jet, rely on the South American market to gain a foothold, and make a profit, the only way to make the EMB-145 a stable source of income in the hands of Embraer is to enter the North American and European regional aircraft market.

But the question is, where is the regional aviation market in North America and Europe so easy to enter?

For Embraer, which has no support in Europe and North America, if it wants to gain a firm foothold in North America and Europe, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the excellent product quality of the EMB-145 itself, and it is necessary to hold a thick enough thigh.

Just when Embraer was struggling to find such a thick enough thigh, Rosemary's appearance left almost all Embraer shareholders ecstatic: if they could hold Fernandez Chen's thigh, the EMB-145 might have a chance.

As long as Chen Geng is willing to let himself hug his thighs, the price of the shares is completely negotiable, and it is really not possible to transfer a part of the shares to Chen Geng at a symbolic price (not more than 5%).

The Brazilian's idea is so obvious and red, but it is precisely because of this that Chen Geng's brows are furrowed: although Embraer will develop well in the future, if he allows the other party to hug his thigh, he needs to pay a lot, and it is conceivable that Brazilians will definitely not take out too many shares......

It's too much trouble!

Thinking of this, Chen Geng waved his hand: "I can provide you with some help in terms of technology, if you encounter difficulties in terms of funds, I can also help you find a bank and coordinate some loans, but just hold shares." ”

Paulo Cesa Silva was disappointed in his heart.

He thought that Chen Geng might refuse, but he didn't expect Chen Geng's refusal to be so simple: he refused without even thinking about it? Could it be that Embraer's shares are so inferior to his eyes? However, ......

Also!

How powerful is Huaxia COMAC, not only can produce medium-sized helicopters, produce the entry-level twin-engine turboprop regional airliner Y-12 similar to the EMB-110 "Pioneer", and even produce the 100-seat Fokker F100, I heard that they have organized their own technical forces and funds, and the F120 developed and manufactured on the basis of the F100 has also completed the ground static test and is about to enter the test flight stage.

That's a 120-seat plane, and it's really unthinkable for Embraer! It's understandable that people don't look down on Embraer, and it's completely understandable that if it were him, would he have changed his own ownership of Robinson Helicopters, another aircraft manufacturing company in the United States, in which Mr. Fernandez Chen held a stake in the United States?

With the strength of Embraer, it is true that Robinson helicopters are not very much valued.

However, Paul Cesa Silva did not give up because of Chen Geng's refusal, on the contrary, Chen Geng's refusal made him more determined to want to hug Chen Geng's thigh, but since Chen Geng was unwilling at this time, he would go back and slowly find a way.

Pressing this thought in his heart, Paolo Cesa Silva nodded and said to Chen Geng: "Thank you so much...... For the specific details of the cooperation, I will then arrange someone to communicate with COMAC?"

"Yes," Chen Geng nodded: "I will arrange for someone to greet COMAC." ”

Paulo Cesa Silva repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Chen Geng.

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

Just when Chen Geng was about to return to the United States, a news suddenly came from the Soviet Union, which made him temporarily change his itinerary: The Ivchenko Design Bureau completed the test of the high-altitude platform with the AI-222-25 turbofan engine improved on the basis of the AI-25TL twin-rotor turbofan engine on the L-39 trainer and meeting the power requirements of the new generation of jet trainer Yak-130.

The Yak-130 that fooled the Indians to watch the ship and the take-off performance on the ship used two AI-25TL engines (which was also the engine imported by Chen Geng from the Soviet Union for the COMAC Group before), because the maximum take-off thrust of the AI-25TL was only 18KN, in order to meet the conditions for take-off on the ship, the Yak-130 had to carry only a small amount of fuel to complete the performance, which was somewhat risky.

And because of Chen Geng's intervention and the funds provided by Chen Geng, in this time and space, the research and development progress of the AI-222-25 engine is very fast, no, now the Soviet Union has not collapsed, the first model of this series: without afterburner, the maximum thrust has reached 24.51KN AI-222-25 has completed the ground station and high-altitude platform tests, which is much faster than the progress of the original time and space.

It is understandable, after all, in the original time and space, AI-222-25 only began to be carried out in Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and with the financial situation of Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the situation that politicians have betrayed the country one by one, it is hellish that the research and development progress of AI-222-25 can be faster.

When Chen Geng rushed to the Soviet Union, he was surprised to find that the situation in the Soviet Union was not much bleak than at the beginning of the year, or in other words, it had not changed much from when he came at the beginning of the year.

"What are you thinking, sir?"

Alexander Kholmdorov, who came to Moscow International Airport to pick up Chen Geng, looked at Chen Geng and looked at the scene outside the window, hesitated, but couldn't help asking.

"Oh......"

Chen Geng looked out the window and replied casually: "When I came to the Soviet Union at the beginning of the year, I saw that the situation in the Soviet Union did not seem to be very good, I thought that this time I came, the situation I saw would be worse than at the beginning of the year, but now it seems that the situation does not seem to be getting worse." ”

"Of course!" As soon as he said this, Alexander Kholmdorov's words and expressions were filled with a look of pride and pride: "We are a great Soviet Socialist Union, and although we may encounter temporary difficulties, how can we continue to be bad? The great Soviet government and the Soviet people can overcome all difficulties! Temporary difficulties are nothing to us. ”

“......”

Chen Geng did not refute Alexander Kholmdorov, but nodded with a smile: Can all difficulties be overcome? As long as Comrade Gorbachev is still your supreme leader, the fate and outcome of the Soviet Union cannot be changed.

It really can't be changed, the surname Ye Xiaoxiong has already emerged, although the achievements of Ye Xiaoxiong at this moment cannot be compared with the same period in history, but Ye Xiaoxiong is Ye Xiaoxiong, worthy of being a special person created by the times, this guy is now a well-known politician in the Soviet Union, if the situation in the Soviet Union continues to deteriorate, Gorbachev will toss again, hehe......

He changed the topic and asked Alexander Kholmdorov: "You and India have basically completed the negotiations on the gift of the aircraft carrier 'Kyiv'?"

The temptation of a free aircraft carrier for the third brother is huge, even if you want to transform the Kyiv aircraft carrier into a mini version of the Kuznetsov, the amount of money you need to invest is quite expensive, but compared with the two broken aircraft carriers in India's hands, a Kiev aircraft carrier that is only fourteen or fifteen years old and is in its youth is too great for the third brother.

After Chen Geng "led the door", Maozi, who has always had the tradition of foreign aggression and extortion, quickly picked up this glorious ancestral craft and knocked the third brother's bamboo pole Bangbang.

"Yes," as soon as he talked about this, Alexander Holmdorov immediately glanced at Chen Geng with admiration: "The two sides have basically reached the stage of signing a contract, Comrade Malenkov, Comrade Bakranov and even Comrade Shaposhnikov all said that when the contract is signed, you must be present." ”

"I will," Chen Geng nodded, and said with a smile: "Anyway, this is the first business I have done with India, and such a commemorative thing, of course I will be on the spot." ”

Thinking that a few years later, the third brother looked at the list of additional modification costs thrown by the Soviet Union one after another, and Chen Geng was particularly looking forward to it.

The car was speeding all the way, and soon, it stopped in front of the office building exclusive to the Presidium of the Council of Ministers, and when the car stopped to arrive, Nikolai Malenkov was already waiting there, and when he saw Chen Geng pushing the car door and walking out, Nikolai Malenkov happily gave Chen Geng a bear hug: "Fernandez, my friend, you miss me to death." ”
