Vyacheslav Ivchenko was certainly not stupid, he blinked: "Do you want to become an engine supplier for regional jets like General Electric? But with all due respect, I also know a little about the situation in Huaxia, and flying is still a very luxurious thing for you, this ......"

Regional flights within 1000 kilometers, not all countries can choose the plane, such as in the Soviet Union, although the aviation industry is very developed, but for ordinary people, they still choose trains as a means of short-distance travel, the economic situation of the Soviet Union is much better than that of China, I heard that in the current China, you also need to buy tickets with a letter of introduction, and there is no letter of introduction to even buy a ticket, so Vyacheslav · Ivchenko really hates Chen Geng's move to enter the regional aircraft power market.

In addition, Vyacheslav Ivchenko's remarks have another meaning, that is, Vyacheslav Ivchenko also understands that the Soviet Union's aircraft engines are really not very competitive in front of their European and American counterparts.

"Who said that I want to promote regional airlines in China?" Looking at Vyacheslav Ivchenko, Chen Geng smiled and said: "Can't I compete with General Electric for customers?"

“......”

What did you hear?

Vyacheslav Ivchenko looked at Chen Geng and was dumbfounded: Fernandez Chen, this guy, actually wants to compete with General Electric for the market?!

Frankly speaking, although Vyacheslav Ivchenko is quite confident in the strength of the Ivchenko Design Bureau in the field of aero engines, in the face of the three giants of European and American aero engines, General Electric, Rolls-Royce and Pratt Whitney, he is also quite self-aware that the technical level of the Ivchenko Design Bureau in aero engines is still quite far behind these three companies.

But now, Fernández Chen actually said that he intends to use the engines of the Ivchenko Design Bureau and General Electric to grab the market? Vyacheslav Ivchenko feels that he is really a beep dog: although I thank you for having so much confidence in us, I really feel that our Ivchenko Design Bureau is still a little bit of a duck!

Looking at Vyacheslav Ivchenko's appearance, Chen Geng knew what this guy was thinking, waved his hand and said: "Whether I can win General Electric or not, that's my business, let's not talk about whether our cooperation can be reached, even if it can be reached in the end, your Ivchenko Design Bureau is only responsible for research and development, as for how to develop the market, that's our business." ”

"But ......"

Without waiting for Vyacheslav Ivchenko to finish speaking, Chen Geng waved his hand: "I understand what you mean, better quality products are more competitive in the market, but the best quality products will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the market......?" Mr. Ivchenko, I may have more say in this matter than you. ”

“......”

Vyacheslav Ivchenko was momentarily speechless.

Yes, in terms of how to sell products, he is indeed inferior to Fernandez Chen, no, not "indeed inferior", but there is no comparison at all, in terms of how to sell aero engines, he and Fernandez Chen are not the same plane at all, he is just the chief designer of an aero engine design and research and development institution, and Fernandez Chen is the richest man in the world!

Worried that the richest man in the world won't be able to do business?

Hehe......

It's better to worry about whether next month's supplies will arrive in time.

"Okay," Vyacheslav Ivchenko, who had finally figured it out, nodded to Chen Geng and said seriously: "Mr. Fernández, if you can convince the government and the Military Industrial Equipment Commission, we at the Ivchenko Design Bureau will be happy to be able to cooperate with you. ”

"You're welcome," Chen Geng said, pointing to the AI-222-25 engine on the side: "As for this engine...... I have a backup of the relevant information, right?"

In the research and development of the AI-222-25 series engine, the aero engine research and development team of COMAC Group was deeply involved in this project, and according to the agreement reached between Chen Geng and the Soviet government, every drawing of the AI-222-25 engine must be automatically provided to COMAC, so theoretically speaking, for the AI-222-25 engine, Ivchenko has it, and COMAC also has it.

This is confirmed by Acheslav Ivchenko's answer, who nodded: "Of course, your people were deeply involved in the development of this engine, and in fact, they made a great impression on me. ”

Chen Geng smiled and nodded.

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

"You want to develop a civilian version with a large bypass ratio on the basis of the AI-222-25 engine?" Nikolai Malenkov, who was on the phone, heard Chen Geng's request, and he was a little surprised by Chen Geng's idea: "This ...... Do you think it's necessary?"

Chen Geng did not explain so much to Nikolai Malenkov, but said: "That's my business, even if I lose money, the research and development expenses that should be paid to the Soviet Union will not be less than a ruble." ”

"This ...... It could be a little difficult......"

"Huh?" Chen Geng frowned.

"Of course, you know the current situation in the Soviet Union," Nikolai Malenkov said, "but don't worry, there is still a way to do things." ”

Just kidding, Fernández Chen even has all the intellectual property rights and patents of the Soviet Union's new generation of jet advanced trainer Yak-130 and related carrier-based types, carrier-based fighters and related engines, and there is still such a civilian engine derived from the engine?

It's a big joke.

Normally, the Soviet government would never put obstacles in the way of such a trivial matter...... Anyway, according to the previous cooperation agreement, the R&D funds were provided by Huaxia COMAC, and the R&D results were automatically owned by both parties, which means that the Soviet Union did not spend a penny, and got a set of high-bypass ratio turbofan engines with good performance of 30KN to 40KN level.

And let's not forget, what is the situation in the USSR now?

To put it bluntly, from top to bottom, from the grassroots police below to the ministers above, is there a person who does not make a lot of money? As long as the money is in place, it is easy to say anything.

"Well, Nikolai, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

"Rest assured. ”

Nikolai Malenkov happily agreed, although Chen Geng did not give any promises such as "your benefits are indispensable", but everyone has cooperated for so long, and the "rules" are understood.

"By the way, I have another idea......"

"Uh...... What's the idea? Although he didn't know what Chen Geng had in mind, Nikolai Malenkov didn't dare to snub his financier.

Chen Geng said: "Until now, the cooperation between COMAC and related Soviet enterprises is mainly based on the purchase of relevant products and technologies from the Soviet Union, and our cooperation in the Yak-130 and related engines is a step forward.

“......”

Nikolai Malenkov felt that his brain was a little confused: What do you want to say? He frowned and thought for a long time, but he still didn't understand what Chen Geng was meant, and he was a little anxious for a while: "Then what do you mean?"

Chen Gengdao: "Have you ever considered setting up a joint venture with COMAC to earn foreign exchange internationally?"

As soon as he heard Chen Geng say that he wanted to establish a joint venture with COMAC, Nikolai Malenkov instinctively wanted to refuse: what are you kidding, the great Soviet needs to set up a joint venture with someone else?

But Chen Geng's next words of "going to the world to earn foreign exchange" made Nikolai Malenkov swallow back the words that had come to his lips and refused: Go to the country to earn foreign exchange......

For the Soviet Union, which can now be called an internal and external trouble, there is an extreme shortage of foreign exchange, and if there is an opportunity to earn foreign exchange internationally......

"Goo-dong" swallowed his saliva, Nikolai Malenkov did not think that the Central Committee of the Soviet Union headed by Comrade Gobachev would refuse without hesitation - in this way, wouldn't it mean that it was an opportunity for himself? Thinking of this, the words of refusal became: "Oh...... It's hard, it's very difficult, but if I let go of this old face, I guess I can have a little chance...... Specifically, what is your specific vision for this joint venture?"

Ignoring Nikolai Malenkov's deliberate miserab, Chen Geng did not answer this question, but said: "First of all, we must make it clear that the Soviet Union's goods do not sell well in the international arena, not because the Soviet Union's products are much worse than competitors in terms of quality and competitiveness, but many times because of the word 'Soviet Union'. ”

“......”

Nikolai Malenkov was silent for a while.

Of course, he knew that Chen Geng was telling the truth, and that the Soviet Union's arms were selling well in the international arena, but in the field of civilian products, in addition to a few fixed "customers", even in third world countries, the Soviet Union's civilian products were in a state of difficulty in moving an inch, and was this really because the Soviet Union was too poor in the field of civilian products?

Of course not.

To tell the truth, many of Lao Maozi's civilian products are still good in quality (of course, in terms of design, ergonomics, and cost control, Lao Maozi is indeed a scumbag), but the problem is that Lao Maozi can't do business at all: you are obviously a seller, but you still put on a domineering, high-minded, and "I sell you things to give you face, and I still disdain to sell to others" Uncle attitude, who to see?

Lao Tzu has money in his hands, why should he be angry with you?!

In this way, naturally no one wants to do business with Lao Maozi, and after a long time, after everyone knows the virtue of Lao Maozi's business, in addition to oil, natural gas, wood and other raw materials, everyone is even more reluctant to do business with Lao Maozi.

In addition, ideological issues and interference in the politics of other countries are also the reasons why people are reluctant to do business with Lao Maozi, and even the main reason: I buy something from you, and I have to accept your criticism of me...... I'm so poor, and I don't have a father at home?

Forget it, leave and leave.

These questions. Nikolai Malenkov, of course, also knew, but......

"Set up a joint venture company, hand it over to us in terms of sales, and you are mainly responsible for providing technical support and industrial realization, as for how to divide the money earned, we can discuss," Chen Geng said: "But the premise of this cooperation is to try to dilute the company's 'Soviet' characteristics, and the company's address will be placed in China, how about it?"

This idea has been in Chen Geng's mind for a long time, but there has never been a suitable opportunity, but now, with the strengthening of cooperation and mutual trust between the two sides, Chen Geng feels that it is almost, to tell the truth, Lao Maozi's technology in the industrial field is still very good, if he can pull Maozi into the water at this time, Chen Geng feels that this business is worth it.

Nikolai Malenkov stopped talking, he began to think quickly, and after a long time, he finally spoke: "I can't answer you, but I can help you test the attitude above...... But it's better if you come to Moscow and let's talk about it face to face. ”

"Of course. Regarding Nikolai Malenkov's suggestion, Chen Geng happily agreed: such a big matter could not have been determined in a few words, but he still added: "I understand that this kind of thing can't be rushed, but I still hope that your decision-making can be faster." ”

Nikolai Malenkov breathed a sigh of relief.
