Chapter 1625: Visiting Old Friends (1/4)
In the guest house of the Antonov Design Bureau, Wang Dazhi met his old friend Viktor Kovacsky, one of the deputy chief designers of the Tonov Design Bureau, as he wished. ”
"Yes, King, I am glad to meet you. Seeing Wang Dazhi, Viktor Kowalsky was also very happy, he patted Wang Dazhi's back hard, and said happily: "Wang, I see that your spirit is very good, it seems that you have been doing well over the years?"
"Victor, how long has it been since you paid attention to the development trend of international civil aviation?" Wang Dazhi exaggerated to his old friend: "If you often pay attention to the development trend of international civil aviation, you should know that our COMAC Group is now the largest civil aircraft and aero engine manufacturing group in Asia. ”
"Oh......"
Hearing Wang Dazhi say this, Viktor Kowalski's face suddenly darkened.
Looking at Victor Kowalski's reaction, Wang Dazhi smiled secretly in his heart, and he said with a concerned face: "Victor, it's you, it doesn't seem to be very good......
Viktor Kowalsky smiled bitterly and said: "Wang, you know that since the collapse of the Soviet Union, our situation has ...... Ukraine can't afford to buy that many large planes, and we don't have that much energy to market our products internationally......"
Of course, Wang Dazhi understands that Victor Kowalski is telling the truth, the aircraft is a very special thing, not when your product is good, it will definitely be able to play in the world, to put it bluntly, this thing is the exclusive toy of the big country, the F100 aircraft of the Dutch Fokker company, okay?
The aircraft's comfort, noise, ease of maintenance, after-sales cost, and fuel consumption per capita ...... Almost all the technical indicators were able to overwhelm the most popular Boeing 737 at that time, but so what? With the small body of Fokker, how could it have played with such behemoths as Boeing and McDonnell Douglas?
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Chen Geng's appearance, Fokker would have gone bankrupt long ago.
The same is true of the Antonov Design Bureau, the Antonov Design Bureau back then, backed by such a powerful existence as the Soviet Union, could sell its products all over the world, but now, the Soviet Union is gone, and the current gang of guys in the Ukrainian government can't wait to kneel on the ground and call the Milicians Dad, and even do not hesitate to destroy the Great Wall, turning a "world's third largest nuclear weapon power" into a "European womb" , the current Antonov Design Bureau, don't think about takeaway products, can only rely on the An-124 fleet directly under its own company and provide technical support for other airlines......
On the one hand, with the back of a rising power, life is booming, and on the other hand, it is by constantly doing odd jobs for others, and the Antonov Design Bureau, or Viktor Kovacsky's good-looking face is hell.
After chatting for a while, Viktor Kowalsky took the initiative to speak: "Wang, you won't come this time to see my old friend, right?"
"It's to see an old friend, and there are some things that need your help," Wang Dazhi didn't hide this kind of thing that everyone knew, and he said frankly to Victor Kowalsky: "Victor, can you help me find a crew that can fly the Il-76? ”
As he spoke, Wang Dazhi took out a bulging envelope from his arms and handed it to Viktor Kowalsky: "Of course, even if we are friends, I can't let you help in vain, so this is your reward." ”
Looking at this bulging envelope, Viktor Kowalski's heart trembled fiercely and uncontrollably twice!
Although Victor Kowalsky did not take out the money and count it, but just looked at the thickness of the envelope, it should contain two stacks of banknotes, and considering the fact that Wang Dazhi came to him for help, Victor Kowalsky did not think that it was a hryvnia, and it was very likely to be a dollar, that is, it was ......
$20,000?
Realizing this possibility, Viktor Kowalski's hand trembled uncontrollably: "King, this ...... That's too much......"
$20,000, for Victor Kowalski, who is in a difficult situation now, $20,000 means too much to himself.
"Not much, not much at all," Wang Dazhi stuffed the envelope with a smile, and continued: "Victor, you know, I don't have many friends in Ukraine, and even fewer friends who can help me in this matter, I can only trust you...... Oh, by the way, they didn't just help me fly the plane, they also helped me assess the state of the plane during this time. ”
Unable to resist Wang Dazhi, Viktor Kowalsky half-pushed and half-accepted the envelope.
Since he received Wang Dazhi's money, Viktor Kowalsky thought about Wang Dazhi wholeheartedly, he frowned, and said to Wang Dazhi: "Wang, I remember that two years ago, your government wanted to purchase a batch of Il-76 from Ukraine, but in the end, under the obstruction of the Americans, the two sides did not even start the talks, and the business was canceled, you ......"
Knowing that Viktor Kowalsky was also kind-hearted, Wang Dazhi laughed: "I will know that you will ask this, my friend, don't worry, it is not our government that buys the plane this time, but my company, and we don't buy a lot, just buy one." ”
"Just one?" said Viktor Kowalski, surprised.
"Yes, just one. Facing Victor Kowalski's shocked gaze, Wang Dazhi nodded affirmatively, and then explained: "In addition, Victor, you know, our chairman is Mr. Fernandez Chen, the governor of Michigan, Mirican, and he has a very good relationship with Mr. George Jr., the current commander of Mirican, about this plane, our chairman has already greeted Mr. George Jr., and the Mi government will not embarrass us in this matter." ”
And such a good thing?
Viktor Kowalski couldn't understand it, but it wasn't something he should be concerned about, and he shook his head: "In that case, then I'm relieved...... Well, I do know some guys who drove the Ilyco-76 before, so it shouldn't be difficult to get you together, but how long does the job take? And how much does the salary cost?"
"It won't be more than a month," Wang Dazhi said immediately: "In fact, I don't think it will be more than 20 days, as for the salary, what do you think of $5,000 per person?"
