Chapter 589: Old Friends Are Here Again
Just when Chen Geng was still angry about the attitude of the Civil Aviation Administration, he didn't know that his words had caused a big discussion......
Judging from his analysis of the helicopter, Xiao Chen really took into account our actual situation. An old man with a cigarette between his fingers slowly said to the two old men in grass-green military uniforms sitting next to him: "Now, I am more sure that it is a very correct decision to ask him to be our general counsel. ”
"What you said is," the veteran general nodded, and also sighed: "After I went back, I discussed it with my comrades, and discussed it in the next ten years. In terms of 20 years of demand, Xiao Chen said that the general helicopter and heavy transport helicopter are what we are most in short supply, especially the proposal he said to use heavy helicopters to lift construction machinery for earthquake relief, so that comrades are eye-opening, just like that kid said, if we have this kind of heavy helicopter that can directly lift excavators and loaders into the earthquake area in 76 years, maybe we can save many more people...... Compared with these two types of equipment, helicopter gunships are not so eager. ”
Speaking of this, the old general couldn't help but sigh: "CH-53, CH-54, UH-1, UH-60...... There are so many good things for the Americans, compared to these multi-purpose helicopters and heavy helicopters, the gunships are really just like what the kid said, a bit of a chicken rib. ”
Another veteran general also followed suit: "I also think so, that is, I have some doubts, the Americans are willing to sell us such good equipment?"
"Your worries are not unreasonable, but didn't Xiao Chen say it, we don't buy these things for armaments, but earthquake relief, humanitarian relief, and ......" The old man took a puff of cigarette and smiled: "We don't buy their military models, and it's no problem for civilian ones."
Of course, in the final analysis, it still depends on the little guy's connections and lobbying ability in the Pentagon...... By the way, I heard that Xiao Chen has an incompatible relationship with some of the Pentagon's major military generals?"
The veteran general said: "We don't have this information, but the AM General company in his hand has always been engaged in government and military business, and now the HMMV military vehicle that the US military has just equipped is from the hands of this little guy. ”
A businessman who can do business in the Pentagon wants to say that he doesn't have a deep enough relationship with the military, I'm afraid a fool won't believe it, right? But then again, isn't the reason why he insisted on cooperating with that kid even though he was repeatedly rejected by him because of this kid's ability?
"That's the truth. The old man nodded slowly. After a pause, the old man changed the topic and asked, "What does the Civil Aviation Administration mean?"
"...... from the Civil Aviation Authority"
The two old generals glanced at each other, both a little embarrassed.
"What can't you say?" the old man raised his eyebrows, not angry: "Or is there any caution on the side of the Civil Aviation Administration?"
"It can't be said that there is any careful thinking, if the civil aviation side is a little difficult, on the one hand, the state stipulates the proportion of foreign investment, on the other hand, Chen Geng's children take out more things, so things are a little slow......"
The veteran general at the head explained a little to the comrades of the Civil Aviation Administration.
The old man unceremoniously criticized the practice of civil aviation: "Lao Liu, go back and ask the civil aviation side, do you plan to wait for our Chen Geng's children to get impatient before making a decision?"
Although at the beginning of the 80s, the high-level has made a decision to let the civil aviation separate from the military system, and the Civil Aviation Administration from subordinate to the Air Force to the cabinet directly under the organization, but the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and things must be done step by step, especially when it comes to aircraft, it is even more complicated, not to say that an order is given today, and it can be completed tomorrow, although it is now 1980, but civil aviation has not completely separated from the military system, and it is not surprising that the military bigwigs help civil aviation speak.
The old man understands this situation, and also knows that this situation can not be changed overnight, it needs to be done slowly, and he has enough patience and confidence to slowly reverse this situation, but in the old man's opinion, one of the major principles must not be violated, that is, he must not put the small interests of his own system and department above the big interests of the whole country and the real nation, no matter who it is, as long as he makes this kind of move, then he is not welcome!
The two generals were taken aback!
The two generals who came from the war years with the old man immediately understood that the old man was completely insightful about the little ninety-nine of the civil aviation system, and he was a little angry at this kind of disregard for the overall situation of the civil aviation system, and immediately said: "I will say hello to the comrades of the civil aviation when I turn around." ”
"Hmm......" The old man nodded slowly: "You have to distinguish between priorities and priorities." ”
....................................
As expected, the old man's words frightened the heads and brains of the civil aviation system, large and small, who had their own thoughts before, and no one expected that this matter not only went straight to the sky, but also made the old man so angry!
What can I do?
The civil aviation system, which has been smooth sailing for decades and has developed the habit of "the boss of the sky, the second of the earth, and the third of me", is a little panicked at the moment.
If the heads and brains of civil aviation are panicking, then at this moment, looking at Meng Haibo, director of the Rongcheng Aero Engine Manufacturing Plant, and Secretary Huang Wenqing, who are standing in front of him, Chen Geng is confused: God, you are playing with me, right?
He couldn't have imagined that he would intersect with Chengfa again in his life.
Looking at Chen Geng, who was surrounded by a group of blonde, blue-eyed foreigners in straight suits, Meng Haibo and Huang Wenqing, who were dressed in washed white blue tunics, felt uncomfortable, as if their whole body was a lot shorter in front of each other.
"Mr. Meng, Mr. Huang," Chen Geng nodded to Meng Haibo and Huang Wenqing, and then asked with a puzzled expression: "You two said that you are the director and secretary of the Rongcheng Aero Engine Factory......
"Yes, yes," Meng Haibo and Huang Wenqing nodded hurriedly: "This is our letter of introduction......"
"It's not that I have any doubts about your identity," Chen Geng didn't accept the letter of introduction, and he said with a puzzled expression: "Your unit should be a military unit or a unit with a relatively high level of secrecy, right? Would it ...... to contact me so rashly?"
Although it was not explicitly stated, Chen Geng's meaning was already obvious: Aren't you afraid that the security department will arrest you to drink tea and chat?!
Listening to Chen Geng's words, Meng Haibo and Huang Wenqing both had an extremely ridiculous feeling in their hearts: According to normal logic, after knowing our identity, you should be ecstatic, right?
Chen Geng seemed to see through their hearts, pursed his lips, and looked disdainful: "Mr. Meng, Mr. Huang, with all due respect, I really don't like the level of military science and technology in China at this stage." ”
“......”
For a moment, Meng Haibo and Huang Wenqing, including the comrades from the security department behind the two, didn't want to talk to Chen Geng.
Is there such a chat?
Is there such a chat?
Do you know that you just talked about the sky to death like this?!
No matter how unwilling they are to admit it, they have to agree with Chen Geng's words: As far as the Americans are concerned, at least in the field of military equipment, they can indeed despise the military science and technology level of any country other than the Soviet Union; when the Americans have already made the big duct more sloppy than the turbofan engine, and even the extravagant continuous variable cycle engine, what is the most advanced military technology that Huaxia can come up with now? Is the turbojet-6 turbojet engine of the Rongcheng Aero Engine Factory?
Thinking of this, Meng Haibo and Huang Wenqing, who were still angry just now, suddenly felt a little depressed like a deflated ball.
But......
They didn't turn around and left.
The two men in Mao suits standing behind Huang Wenqing and Meng Haibo stood up: "Mr. Chen, you have misunderstood, the comrades of the Rongcheng Aero Engine Factory have come to discuss cooperation with you, and they have been reported to the higher authorities, and the higher authorities have also given approval, so you don't have to worry about anything." ”
As he spoke, one person handed Chen Geng a work card.
Chen Geng pretended to take the work permit and looked at it, and after making sure that there was no problem, he nodded to Kelly Hicks.
Kelly Hicks immediately contacted the State Guesthouse to arrange a small conference room, and after everyone was seated in the conference room, and even arranged a camera for real-time recording, Chen Geng said to Huang Wenqing and Meng Haibo: "Okay, Mr. Huang, Mr. Meng, where do you want to cooperate with me?"
In other words, I can't just work with you with a black eye, right?
Huang Wenqing and Meng Haibo both breathed a sigh of relief, and they were both a little happy in their hearts.
Meng Haibo hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, it is like this, our Rongcheng Aero Engine Factory is the largest and most advanced jet aero engine manufacturing enterprise in China, with more than 6,000 employees, including ...... technicians and engineers above Zhicheng in middle and senior levels."
Chen Geng interrupted him with a smile: "Mr. Meng, as long as I listen to the name of your unit, I can probably guess the nature of your unit, so don't talk about these things, you still tell me what cooperation you plan to cooperate with me, right?"
I didn't expect Chen Geng to be so direct, Meng Haibo was a little embarrassed, but the embarrassment was embarrassing, and he didn't think there was anything wrong: Americans, haven't they always been so arrogant. He immediately said goodbye: "That's right, Mr. Chen, can you take your motorcycle with us?"
