Chen Geng was not surprised that several major airlines suddenly went to COMAC to inspect the F120 passenger aircraft, he helped so much, if there is no indication above, then there is no problem, that is not a person.

In fact, what can be done above can be arranged, for example, now, Guo Wenxiang, who was chatting with Chen Geng, suddenly wanted Chen Geng and asked: "Mr. Chen, have you heard of the West-East Gas Transmission?"

"Gas from the west to the east?" Chen Geng smiled, how could he not know this. Nodding, he responded: "I have read the reports of some articles in China, and I know some ......."

Seeing that Guo Wenxiang meant to let himself talk, Chen Geng was not polite to the other party: "Roughly, the distribution of domestic natural gas resources is like this: in the economically developed and densely populated areas of the east and southeast coasts, there are not many natural gas resources, on the contrary, in the western regions of China, such as the Si@Sichuan Basin, the Tarim Basin, the Junggar Basin, the Qaidam Basin, and Tuha and Ordos, which are sparsely populated, If the natural gas resources in these regions can be transported through pipelines to the eastern regions that are in urgent need of natural gas, it can not only greatly alleviate the tight energy supply situation in the eastern region, but most importantly, ensure the strategic security of domestic energy and reduce energy imports. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Geng frowned slightly and said: "I know that experts in domestic energy and other related fields have proposed the development of western energy and the 'West-East Gas Pipeline' as early as the 80s. ”

Guo Wenxiang was a little surprised, although he was asking Chen Geng this question just now, he didn't expect Chen Geng to really know so much about this issue, but despite this, he still nodded: "You are right, with the existing technical conditions in China, it is indeed a little immature to engage in 'west-to-east gas transmission', but some core key technologies can be ahead." ”

Chen Geng nodded and motioned for Guo Wenxiang to continue.

He knew that it was not so simple for Guo Wenxiang to invite himself over this time.

"To engage in 'west-to-east gas transmission', the core technology, in addition to pipelines and corresponding construction technology, is that a pressurized station needs to be built every certain distance, and the core of the pressurized station is a high-performance, stable and reliable industrial-grade gas turbine," Speaking of this, Guo Wenxiang looked at Chen Geng with blazing eyes: "Now the manufacturing technology of special gas turbines for long-distance natural gas transmission pipelines has almost been used by Siemens of Germany, General Electric of the United States and Rolls-Rolls of the United Kingdom. Royce has a monopoly, and I'll tell you the truth, even the little devil's Mitsubishi has stronger technical strength in this regard than ours, and it's not even a little bit stronger, so Mr. Chen, are you willing to do this?"

Chen Geng frowned.

In the field of oil transmission and natural gas transmission of these two major system engineering, high-power, can work stably and reliably for a long time gas turbine is a necessary equipment, looking at the world, there are two ways to develop gas turbines, one is a specially designed industrial-grade large gas turbine, this gas turbine is designed at the beginning of the special engineering field such as power generation, the life of at least 30 years, and must be stable and reliable, the German Siemens power generation gas turbine is basically this type;

There is also a kind of "aeroderic modification", also known as "aeroderic combustion", that is, the turbojet engine or turbofan engine used in the aircraft is converted into a gas turbine, such as the famous General Electric LM2500 in the United States.

When Guo Wenxiang just mentioned the "West-to-East Gas Transmission" project, he already had a faint premonition in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Geng asked Guo Wenxiang tentatively, "This ...... I remember that there are quite a few high-gas turbine units in China, right? Harbin Steam Turbine, Jinling Steam Turbine Factory, and Modu Steam Turbine Factory are all leaders in the field of steam turbines in China......

"Mr. Chen, don't laugh at us," Chen Geng was interrupted by Guo Wenxiang before he could finish his words: "Others don't know what our level is in this area, don't you know? Although we can also build some gas turbines, the performance cannot be satisfied at all." According to the results of several preliminary surveys, at least 50 large-scale pressurized stations will be built for the entire West-East Gas Transmission Project, and if the gas turbines required for these pressurized stations are imported from abroad, this will be a considerable amount of ......."

"Do you mean to let our COMAC Group do this?" Pretending not to understand the meaning of Guo Wenxiang's words, Chen Geng said with a smile: "The 'TAY' series engine has a good foundation, and it would be good if the 'TAY' engine was used as the basis to make a 'aviation to combustion'." ”

"Huh...... That's not it," Guo Wenxiang shook his head, if all the gas turbines needed for the west-to-east gas transmission were handed over to COMAC, he would not have specially invited Chen Geng over: "That's the case, the ministry means, can you take the lead, several steam turbine manufacturing units in the United Nations, and everyone cooperates?"

"Not good. Chen Geng didn't want to refuse.

Guo Wenxiang didn't expect Chen Geng to refuse so simply, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "Can I ask why?"

Chen Geng smiled and said: "I'll tell you the truth: In the field of gas turbines, the most important gas turbine manufacturing units in China: Bingcheng Steam Turbine Factory, Modu Steam Turbine Factory and Jinling Steam Turbine Factory, whose technical strength can be compared with our COMAC? The life of the latest generation of 'tay' MK1010 turbofan engine of our COMAC Group has been able to reach 6,000 hours, if we make one based on the 'tay' MK1010 engine?" The output power of the gas turbine can exceed 15,000 kilowatts, and the life of the initial model is more than 20,000 hours without any problem, and after a series of improvements, the life can reach more than 50,000 hours.

But whether it is Bingcheng Steam Turbine Factory, Jinling Steam Turbine Factory or Modu Steam Turbine Factory, can the gas turbines they manufacture achieve this life and output power?"

“……”

Guo Wenxiang's face is not very good-looking, and Chen Geng is a little too faceless.

But where is this, Chen Geng continued: "If they have some unique things in technology, then it doesn't hurt for everyone to cooperate, although the technical foundation is there, but after all, COMAC has not engaged in gas turbines, but the situation of these units ...... Hehe......"

Chen Geng shook his head, obviously not optimistic about several steam turbine manufacturing and R&D units such as Bingcheng Steam Turbine Factory.

In the face of Chen Geng's move to look down on these companies in the field of gas turbines in China, Guo Wenxiang was very depressed, but he had nothing to say. The history of the Modu Steam Turbine Factory and the Jinling Steam Turbine Factory can be traced back to the 156 industrial projects of the Soviet Union in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but for more than 30 years and nearly 40 years, the technical level of these enterprises has not made much progress, and it is basically still at the level of gnawing the old capital, that is, the state still does not allocate some projects and research and development funds every year to maintain the operation and research and development of these units, otherwise these units will not be able to hold on, and then look at the commercial aircraft group invested by Chen Geng? is full of vitality, and it is really understandable that Chen Geng looks down on Harbin steam turbines and other units.

Why did Guo Wenxiang make a special trip to invite Chen Geng to talk about this matter? Isn't it just that he can use the abundant funds in the hands of Chen Geng and the COMAC Group and the abundant technical reserves in the field of aero engines to pull the Bingcheng Steam Turbine Factory, the Modu Steam Turbine Factory, and the Jinling Steam Turbine Factory?

Without waiting for Guo Wenxiang to speak, Chen Geng continued: "Guo Ministry@Chang, I know what you mean, I hope to use this project to let our COMAC Group pull them along, but let me say it bluntly, in my opinion, the problem of these units is not that the technical level is not good, the fundamental reason is that the subjective initiative is not good."

I also have some understanding of the situation of these companies, to put it simply, these companies do not have the mind of market development in market development, and they are completely open to wait for the government to feed the food into their mouths;

In terms of after-sales, it is completely a 'Lao Tzu is an uncle' nostrils of the attitude, as if the customer owes them money, and the customer has to beg them to do after-sales, which is unimaginable in the world;

In terms of product development, when have you ever seen them take the initiative to develop new products? It was the state that gave the order, and they reluctantly started work, and they also found various excuses to apply for funds from the state every now and then......

Although I have not dealt with them, I can now imagine how tiring it is to cooperate with them: I am afraid that after the cooperation begins, the biggest difference between everyone is not in technology, but in work attitude and subjective initiative.

Maybe it will even end up ruining our habits and work attitudes."

Speaking of this, Chen Geng spread out his hand and asked Guo Wenxiang rhetorically: "You say, why should I cooperate with such a group of guys who have more than enough success and more than failure? Could it be that I am full of food?"

“……”

Chen Geng said this, and Guo Wenxiang had nothing to say.

Although Chen Geng's words are really a little ugly, they are not rough. He actually understands that what Chen Geng said is not an exaggeration, such as Bingcheng Steam Turbine Factory, Modu Steam Turbine Factory and Jinling Steam Turbine Factory, these large state-owned enterprises are really a lot of problems, really just like Chen Geng said, not so much a state-owned enterprise is a government unit, and since it is a government unit, some bad problems unique to the yamen are of course indispensable.

Not only are there many bad problems at the Yamen, but also because they are still enterprises, there are even more bad problems than at the Yamen......

Guo Wenxiang thought about it carefully, not to mention, there was really such a possibility, so it was no wonder that Chen Geng stopped so happily.

But it is precisely because of this that Guo Wenxiang admires Chen Geng's decisiveness in his heart.

You must know that once this cooperation can be reached, after the official launch of the "West-East Gas Transmission" project in the future, the construction cost of each pressurized station alone will not be less than 50 billion, but in order not to be brought to the work atmosphere of his own company, but Chen Geng actually said that he didn't want it, who can not admire?

Although there is also the reason why COMAC is rich, but to be able to make such a decision without hesitation, Guo Wenxiang secretly shook his head: When will there be a top entrepreneur like Chen Geng in China?

"But ......"

At this time, Chen Geng's tone changed, and he said with a smile: "If the country gives us this task, I guarantee that COMAC will be able to complete the research and development of the required gas turbines before the start of the 'West-East Gas Transmission' project.

Guo Wenxiang shook his head with a smile: "Let's not say whether I can agree or not, you must know that this matter is not just an ordinary business activity, but more of a political activity and a national policy." ”

Since it is a national policy, it is not easy to measure it by pure economy, not to mention that COMAC Group is a joint venture after all, and although Bingcheng Steam Turbine Factory, Modu Steam Turbine Factory and Jinling Steam Turbine Factory are not angry, no matter how they are not angry, they are also their own children, and the treatment is different...... Your biological son, even if he makes you angry to death every day, he is the first in the class every time he exams, and every time he sees this bastard, he can make your blood pressure soar, and he wants to be beaten to death and then quickly, but once someone else really bullies your child, what is your first reaction?

Of course, I didn't hesitate to rush up and him - that's Lao Tzu's biological son, Lao Tzu can fight, and breaking his leg is also Lao Tzu's species, but someone else can touch it?

Chen Geng was not the slightest surprise at Guo Wenxiang's answer, he nodded: "Since this is the case, then I can only say that it is a pity." ”

Seeing Chen Geng's unwillingness to compromise at all, Guo Wenxiang hesitated, but couldn't help but say: "You really don't think about it anymore......?"

"Don't think about it," without waiting for Guo Wenxiang to finish speaking, Chen Geng shook his head and said resolutely: "Unless they can get rid of their bad habits, it is absolutely impossible for me to agree - of course, if you plan to cooperate with Siemens in Germany, Rolls-Royce in the United Kingdom or General Electric in the United States, I can help you match." ”

As for whether it can be negotiated, Chen Geng doesn't care.

Chen Geng's words made Guo Wenxiang a little moved: In the case that Chen Geng is unwilling to cooperate, if he can import technology from abroad, it is also a good choice, but I don't know how much it will cost.
