Chen Geng is the God of Wealth in Jinmen City.

Not to mention how much the COMAC Jinmen factory has played a leading role in the economic development of Jinmen City, it is said that more than 3 million color picture tubes and monitors are exported to Chen Geng's computer company every year, creating a large amount of foreign exchange income for Jinmen City.

Now, the God of Wealth said that he could consider expanding the second phase of the Tianjin Aircraft Manufacturing Plant of the COMAC Group, but how could the leaders of Tianjin dare to slack off? There was no need for Chen Geng to go to the city, and Xu Guang, the second-in-command of Tianjin, personally came to visit him -- who should not be polite to the God of Wealth?

Chen Geng still gave Xu Guang a lot of face, and when he got the news that Xu Guang was coming, he led the main executives of the Jinmen factory to wait at the gate.

Seeing Chen Geng, who was the leader, Xu Guang didn't wait for the secretary to help open the car door, as soon as the car stopped, he hurriedly pushed the car door and walked quickly towards Chen Geng, and said honestly: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

"Mr. Xu, you are too polite," Chen Geng gave Xu Guang a lot of face, and said politely: "Speaking of which, we who do business also thank the leaders of Tianjin for providing us with a good business environment." ”

Being able to get Chen Geng's evaluation, Xu Guang suddenly turned red, and he felt a little proud in his heart: this is a disguised compliment for doing a good job. As a public servant of the people, our purpose is to serve the people wholeheartedly and meet the development needs of leading enterprises like COMAC, which is our unshirkable responsibility." ”

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries and business blows, Chen Geng did not directly talk to Xu Guang about the expansion of the second phase of production capacity planning, but took Xu Guang to the manager's laboratory and invited him to visit the F120 that was undergoing static tests.

"Mr. Chen, what is this aircraft that is doing experiments?"

Looking at the F120 that was undergoing static tests, Xu Guang felt that it seemed to be no different from the Fokker F100 being produced at the Jinmen factory of the Commercial Aircraft Group, but he did not express his opinion casually: since this aircraft is being tested here, it shows that this aircraft is different from the previous Fokker F100, and it is estimated that it is very different, so it is better not to talk nonsense and hide it clumsily.

"This is the improved Fokker F100 we are developing," Chen Geng personally introduced to Xu Guang: "Compared with the Fokker F100 we are producing now, the fuselage of this improved model that is being tested for static testing has been lengthened by three meters, and can accommodate four more rows of seats, that is, 20 passengers."

That is to say, after the official production of this aircraft, it can carry up to 120 passengers at the same time, so this improved model is also called F120. ”

"F120?" Xu Guang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Up to 120 passengers?"

"Yes," Nie Guang, who was accompanying him, added in a timely manner: "This number is already equivalent to Boeing's main model: 737-200, and the maximum number of passengers of Boeing 737-200 is only 118." ”

"More passengers than a Boeing 737?"

Xu Guang was frightened by Nie Guang's words!

Since there is such a company on their own territory, the leaders of Jinmen City naturally have to do some homework and some understanding of the products of the world's major aviation companies (at least when they go out and brag with comrades from other brother provinces, they have nothing to brag about?), so for Boeing's 737 model, the leaders of Jinmen City are naturally no strangers, knowing that this aircraft is the most mainstream narrow-body trunk aircraft in the world today, and it is the best-selling narrow-body in the world. Short- and medium-range mainline aircraft, to some extent, the Boeing 737 is the benchmark in this market segment.

Although Xu Guang knew that COMAC's Fokker F100 was very powerful, and it was not much better than the Boeing 737, and the price was cheaper and the operating cost was lower, but even so, he never thought that COMAC's Fokker F100 could be compared with Boeing's flagship product: this is also an exaggeration!

But such an exaggerated and seemingly impossible thing happened quietly under his nose, and the main leaders of Jinmen, who were the "landlords", were completely unaware of it......

Xu Guang felt a little fever on his face.

However, at the same time as the fever, it is more shocking: COMAC Group can be compared with a world-class aviation giant like Boeing to some extent? !

Is......

It's amazing!

Chen Geng didn't know that in just a few seconds, so many thoughts passed through Xu Guang's heart, and he nodded proudly: "Yes, and at the same time as developing the F120, we have a bigger, The 150-seat F150 has been pre-studied, as long as the F120 goes through the entire static test process to determine that there is no problem with the lengthened fuselage, then the F150 will be officially launched, and it is expected that in about three to four years, the 150-seat F150 will also officially meet with you, which is the level of Boeing 737-300, McDonnell Douglas-82 and Airbus A320. ”

Boeing 737-300, McDonnell Douglas-82 and Airbus A320 level aircraft?!

Xu Guang's eyes suddenly lit up!

Different from Boeing 737-200, he knows that Boeing 737-300 is Boeing's second-generation 737 product, which applies the design of Boeing's 757 and 767 cockpits, and most importantly, uses a new model of engine, which can be described as Boeing's leading product......

What a political achievement this is?!

In the future, when the national conference is held, the comrades in Jinmen will not only be more confident when they meet comrades from other places, but they will also be able to stand a little harder than others.

"Mr. Chen, we in Jinmen will fully support your project," Xu Guanghu stood up and said loudly: "No matter what we need for this F150, as long as we can help, just ask, don't be polite, we will do our best!"

"Thank you, if there is anything that needs government support, we will definitely open our mouths, and we will not be polite," Chen Geng nodded politely: "The other one, Mr. Xu, you may also know, that is, we previously introduced the fuselage manufacturing technology and related manufacturing process of the Tu-204 passenger aircraft from the Tupolev Design Bureau of the Soviet Union. ”

"Yes, I know. ”

While Xu Guang nodded, he had some doubts in his heart, he knew that COMAC had introduced the fuselage manufacturing technology and related manufacturing process of the Tu-204 large passenger aircraft from the Tupolev Design Bureau of the Soviet Union, but he didn't quite understand why Chen Geng didn't understand why Chen Geng suddenly mentioned the Tu-204 passenger aircraft.

"After analyzing the data provided by the Tupolev Design Bureau, our engineers believe that it is very difficult to transplant the avionics system on the F100 to the Tu-204," Chen Geng explained to Xu Guang: "There are two main reasons, one is that the engine used on the Tu-204 has a full-authority digital control system, and the self-produced RB211 engine used by the Tu-204 that we are going to give us is only analog control. The 204 uses digital fly-by-wire technology, which is also a ...... that we don't have."

Xu Guang didn't speak, listening to Chen Geng say this, his heart jumped "all ......", just in the blink of an eye, he had already begun to feel that his mouth was dry, his mouth was very dry, and he couldn't help licking his lips: "Mr. Chen, what do you mean ......?"

Chen Geng smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Xu, let me tell you the truth, if you want to solve these problems, you need to invest not only a lot of engineering and technical personnel, but also a lot of money, and with reference to Boeing 757, we are ready to make Tu-204 into a series, with seats covering from 170 to 270 seats, connecting F150 and Boeing 747 above.

As a result, the difficulty of the whole project has increased, and after careful consideration, COMAC has decided to introduce more partners in this project.

Thundered......

Xu Guang only felt a burst of thunder rolling above his head: COMAC ...... Chen Geng...... You actually want Jinmen to invest in the Tu-204 localization project?!

Does COMAC make money?

And of course make money!

As the most successful aviation manufacturing enterprise in China, since its establishment, the Tianjin factory of COMAC Group has been almost at full capacity, and it is naturally making a lot of money, and Chen Geng has previously introduced the technology of Tu-204, which has not yet been officially put into production in the Soviet Union itself, from the Tupolev Design Bureau of the Soviet Union, which has not yet been officially put into production, let everyone see Chen Geng's ambition: he is not willing to only manufacture Fokker F100 as an entry-level trunk aircraft.

For COMAC Group, the eyes of countless people are red with envy, but because Chen Geng, the great god, is here, no one dares to stretch out his hand: once Chen Geng is unhappy, the consequences are not fun.

But no one expected that Chen Geng would take the initiative to send such an opportunity to make a lot of money to everyone.

Xu Guang couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Chen Geng hesitantly and asked, "Why?"

Chen Geng did not hide from Xu Guang, and said frankly: "One is that the technical difficulty is very large, and the amount of money that needs to be invested is also very large, only relying on our COMAC Group to toss it will not only occupy a lot of our funds, but also greatly increase the difficulty of the entire project, we also hope to use this way to speed up research and development, reduce financial pressure;

The second is to give back to you for your support over the years, after analyzing the demand for narrow-body mainline aircraft in China and around the world, we believe that the Tu-204 has at least 500 market demand, including follow-up maintenance, this is a super-large market of hundreds of billions of dollars, such a large market, enough for all of us to eat very comfortably. ”
