In addition to the leaders of the Civil Aviation Administration, the leaders of the foreign trade and economic cooperation departments, the leaders of the Third Aircraft Department, which will soon be reorganized into the Ministry of Aviation Industry, the leaders of the Central Office, the State Administration of Radio and Television Industry, the State Administration of Electronics and Computer Industry, and the leaders of the Fourth Machinery Department, which is about to be reorganized, have a cooperative relationship with Chen Geng...... The leaders of almost the departments with enough weight were all there, and the huge banquet hall of the state guesthouse was full of things, and because there were so many big leaders present, that the leaders of those units that had a cooperative relationship with Chen Geng were not even qualified to appear in this hall, and they all sat in the side hall on the other side.

"Boss, why do I think they look at us like they're looking at a fat sheep?" Rosemary whispered to Chen Geng, and the eyes of everyone who wanted to swallow their boss made her feel troubled.

"Well, that's right, in the eyes of many of them, we are big fat sheep. Chen Geng nodded with a smile.

There's no way, looking at the Ministry of the Fourth Machine, the State Administration of Radio and Television Industry, the State Administration of Computer Industry, the Modu Automobile Factory, the Chang'an Machinery Manufacturing Factory and other departments or units, relying on the cooperation with Chen Geng to earn a lot of money, eat a lot of brains and intestines, and then look at yourself, the empty stomach can't scrape two taels of oil, who is not greedy? Now I see the fat sheep...... Oh no, it's the main one who has appeared, how can everyone not have some ideas in their hearts?

Chen Geng is not afraid that they have ideas, but he is afraid that they have no ideas.

Looking at her boss's confident expression, Rosemary nodded: As long as the boss has a spectrum in your heart.

said that it was a reception banquet for Chen Geng, in fact, it can also be said to be a preliminary contact and investigation before the official start of negotiations, for example, at this time, Deputy Director Li of the Civil Aviation Administration chatted with Chen Geng on the pretext of toasting with Chen Geng......

"Mr. Chen, how much do you know about our Huaxia Civil Aviation situation?"

"I don't know much," Chen Geng bowed slightly: "I only know that when the decision was made to reform and open up in 78 years, the old man only had to use the economic viewpoint to manage civil aviation; at the beginning of last year, the old man made another instruction that 'civil aviation must be corporate'; and a month later, the Chinese government made adjustments to the civil aviation system, decided to separate the civil aviation from the military system, and changed the civil aviation administration from being subordinate to the air force to an organ directly under the cabinet, and implementing enterprise management.

As far as I know, as of the end of last year, China Civil Aviation has only 140 transport aircraft, and more than 80% of the models are the Soviet Union in the forties and fifties of the Il-14, Li-2 and other old-fashioned propeller-powered aircraft, the passenger capacity is basically between 20 and 40 people, even in the contemporary international civil aviation field of the division of standards, these aircraft are also standard regional aircraft.

In 1980, the annual passenger traffic of the civil aviation system was only 3.43 million, and the total annual transportation turnover even ranked behind Singapore, India, the Philippines, Indonesia and other countries, ranking 35th in the world......

After a pause, Chen Geng asked with a smile: "Deputy Director Li, I'm not wrong about these data, right?"

In fact, after the government decided to let the civil aviation break away from the military system and become a government department that implements enterprise management, Huaxia's civil aviation system is a relatively peculiar existence: the integration of government and enterprises.

On the one hand, the Civil Aviation Administration of China is not only the government department in charge of China's civil aviation affairs, but also a national enterprise that directly operates air transport and general aviation business in the name of China's civil aviation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are "both athletes and referees".

"Uh...... That's right. ”

Deputy Director Li didn't expect Chen Geng to know so much about the situation of Huaxia's civil aviation system, and his face was a little red for a while, but he didn't know if it was because he blushed because he drank too much, or because Huaxia, one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, was actually in such a low position in the civil aviation industry in the world.

Not only did Deputy Director Li's face blush, but the faces of several other leaders of the Civil Aviation Administration who came to "toast" Chen Geng were also a little red, no way, the reality was indeed a bit of a slap in the face.

Another deputy director surnamed Liu couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Chen, our policy stipulates that it is impossible to allow you to set up a wholly-owned civil aviation company in Huaxia......

"Of course," Chen Geng nodded with a smile: "I fully respect and abide by Huaxia's regulations, but hasn't the old man already made the instruction that 'civil aviation must be corporate'? Since Huaxia is going to establish a civil aviation company, can I bring capital and aircraft to invest in one of the civil aviation companies?"

Well?

What the?!

Bringing capital and aircraft into shares?!

Several leaders of the Civil Aviation Administration who didn't expect Chen Geng to say this at all couldn't believe their ears: Nima, there is such a good thing?!

Deputy Director Liu couldn't help but hurriedly asked, "Mr. Chen, how much do you plan to invest?

"This depends on the situation of the civil aviation company I can invest in, it's hard to say now, but in principle, ......" After a slight pause, Chen Geng said: "I can bring four to six trunk aircraft like Boeing 737 or McDonnell Douglas 82, as well as at least 20 million capital." ”

"Gollum ......"

Someone couldn't help it and swallowed hard: $20 million! 6 Boeing 737s!

They selectively forget about "four to six".

"Mr. Chen, what are you talking about...... Is it $20 million?"

The leading comrades of the economic and trade departments, who did not know when they came over, asked in a trembling voice: Will there be a chance to increase the foreign exchange reserves by $20 million all of a sudden? This dizzy leader, who was smashed by a pie falling from the sky, felt that his head seemed to be a little unclear.

Chen Geng nodded: "Of course." ”

“......”

No one spoke, but without exception, the leaders of the various departments were all breathing rapidly.

$20 million in cash, plus four or six Boeing 737s or McDonnell Douglas-82s......

God, you're dying!

It's pitiful, what is the main model in the domestic civil aviation field now?

Just as Chen Geng said just now, most of the models are Il-14 and Li-2 aircraft produced and manufactured by the Soviet Union in the forties and fifties, and a few British "Tridents" are regarded as treasures, and the only few Il-62s are as valuable as eyeballs -- this is the only type of aircraft in China that can perform transpacific missions before the purchase of the Boeing 707.

Large jets such as the Boeing 737 and McDonnell Douglas 82 that carry out domestic trunk flight missions are simply unthinkable and too extravagant.

Looking at the reactions of the people in front of him, Chen Geng felt a little strange in his heart: the reactions of these people in front of him seemed to be a little different from what he imagined before he came.

In his previous opinion, the big men of the domestic civil aviation system should be extremely repulsive to their own sideways, but now, how can there be a kind of "uncle, come to play" meaning?

What's the situation?

It's just that when he wanted to try to learn more about the situation, a group of guys diverted the topic, such as several military leaders who didn't know when they came over, and mysteriously asked Chen Geng about the situation of the American army, such as ......

"Mr. Chen, what do you think is the most suitable U.S. military equipment for our current China?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Geng asked, glancing up at the big guy he had only seen from afar in his previous life.

The big guy is very easy to speak: "Anything goes." ”

"First of all, I must make it clear that there is no US military equipment that best suits the needs of the Chinese military, only the most suitable US military equipment," Chen Geng said, "but if we can reach a cooperation agreement, I can recommend to you as much as possible some equipment suitable for China's characteristics among the existing equipment of the US military based on what President Reagan introduced to me and my understanding of the US military equipment." ”

Chen Geng's first sentence moved the famous bigwig, and he nodded: "Reasonable, Xiao Chen, what equipment do you think is suitable for our Huaxia?"

"What is the specific aspect? Navy, Air Force, Army, Fighter Plane, Helicopter, You have to give me a direction so I can talk to you," Chen Geng's face was difficult: "Otherwise, this topic will be too big." ”

"Hahaha...... This is my negligence, "The big guy is the big guy, after listening to Chen Geng's complaints, he didn't get angry, but happily admitted his mistake. After a pause, he said: "Then you can talk about helicopters, which Yankee helicopter do you think is the most suitable for us?"

Helicopter?

Chen Geng was a little surprised, he didn't expect the big guy to ask about the military equipment that was not on the front line of the battle, such as warships and fighters, but about helicopters that were not valued in China...... Interesting!

Chen Gengluo sighed and said: "The current helicopters of the US military are roughly divided into two categories, one is the transport helicopter of the logistics auxiliary category, which is represented by the UH-60 'Black Hawk' and UH-1 'Huey' general-purpose helicopters, and the CH-54 "Tahe" and CH-53 "Stallion" heavy helicopters; It's just a small batch of AH-64 'Apache' helicopter gunships that are not equipped correctly.

In my opinion, the most suitable for the current situation in China is not a helicopter gunship, but a general-purpose multi-purpose helicopter like the Black Hawk and a heavy helicopter gunship like the 'Tahe' and 'Stallion', well, even a helicopter like the CH-47 'Chinook'. ”

"Huh?" the big guy looked at Chen Geng a little strangely: "Xiao Chen, why do you think this helicopter is the most suitable for us, rather than a powerful armed helicopter like the Cobra?"
