Chapter 595: A Conspiracy That Was Planned Long Ago
Chen Geng is not good to directly say to Director Mo what a huge market the Chinese civil aviation market is more than 30 years later, even if the other party thinks he is bragging, he thought about it and said: "Huaxia's current GDP is ranked 11th in the world, with the current development rate, I think that in 20 years, China's civil aviation market will become one of the largest civil aviation markets in the world." ”
Chen Geng didn't say what he said, but what he meant, and who among the leaders present didn't understand: In such a large market, could it be that airplanes were all bought by it? Of course it was impossible, how much money would it cost? Even if Chen Geng could only get a piece of the pie, it would be an unimaginable amount of income.
Although everyone thinks that Chen Geng is not too optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese civil aviation market, Chen Geng is so optimistic about the future of the Chinese civil aviation market, everyone is not only happy, but also quite proud and proud: look, even the big bosses in the United States are very optimistic about our future.
Director Mo smiled like a flower, and smiled almost from ear to ear: "Mr. Chen, can you tell me what your general idea is?"
"First of all, there's no way you're going to allow me to be a sole proprietor, right?" Chen Geng said with a smile.
"Hehe......" Director Mo smiled wryly.
"In this case, I would like to establish a joint venture with an aero-engine manufacturer and an aero-aircraft manufacturer in your country to engage in the research and development and manufacturing of aircraft engines for civilian and dual-use purposes, as well as for civil aircraft......"
"Mr. Chen, please wait a minute," Before Chen Geng's words were finished, Director Mo hurriedly interrupted him and asked, "I understand the civilian engine, what do you mean by civilian and dual-use engines?"
Could it be that Chen Geng still plans to intervene in China's military industry?
Director Mo's heart was alarmed.
Chen Geng thought for a moment and explained: "Let me give you an example, you will understand, do you know the Boeing 707 and B52 bombers of the United States?"
"Well, I know. Director Mo nodded, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, why did Chen Geng suddenly mention the Boeing 707?
"The JT3D engine on the Boeing 707 and the TF33 engine on the B52 are actually the civilian and military versions of the same model. ”
"And such a thing?!"
"Really?"
Not only Director Mo, but the eyes of the other people in the room also widened instantly.
It's no wonder that they are so surprised, this kind of information that can be found on the Internet casually in later generations, in this era, ordinary people can't access it at all, and what they come into contact with is not in this room, so it's understandable that everyone is so shocked.
"Yes," Chen Geng nodded: "This engine is a standard dual-use engine, the difference between the two in hardware is very small, the main difference is reflected in the tuning and individual hardware There are subtle differences, in fact, there are two versions of the same design."
This situation does not only appear on the TF33 and JT3D, many aircraft engines in the United States are dual-use, and the difference between the military and civilian types is nothing more than that they have been specially tuned in accordance with the characteristics and requirements of the military, and you will understand when I say so, right?"
"Ah...... I know, just like the British's 'Spey' engine," another leader of the Third Aircraft Department shouted: "It's the same 'Spey', but 'Spey' is also divided into military with plus off, military without afterburner, and civilian ......."
"yes, that's pretty much what it means. Chen Geng smiled and nodded,
Director Mo was instantly moved!
Several leaders of the Third Machine Department were instantly moved.
Even the leaders of other departments in the room were instantly moved: Chen Geng means that he wants to take us to play with the plane?!
"Heart disease" is the most important disease of China's current economic development, on land, we do not have reliable diesel engines with excellent enough performance to engage in logistics and transportation, at sea, we do not have reliable marine diesel engines that can run for a long time......; Not to mention in the sky......
Speaking of engines, it's a handful of snot and tears.
Although China can also produce diesel engines, gasoline engines, and aero engines, there is still a great distance from being reliable and durable, and with excellent performance, if Chen Geng can bring enough reliable aero engine technology......
Chen Geng's previous words were a bit too lofty, and the leaders couldn't understand it for a while, but when it came to the "Spey" engine of the British Rolls-Royce company, everyone knew that "Spey" does not only refer to the MK202 turbofan engine introduced by our country, in fact, "Spey" is a collective name for a series of military and civilian engines designed with the same core engine, with more than 30 models, and our country has only introduced one of them.
Hey?
That's not right.
Director Mo realized a problem at this time, and he asked cautiously, "Mr. Chen, is this ...... You don'......t have any experience in aero engines and aircraft, do you? Hmmm......"
He believed that Chen Geng knew what he was talking about.
Chen Gengcai will not be stupid to touch the "No. 10 Project".
He wouldn't touch it for any reason.
As soon as Director Mo's voice fell, he immediately said: "You can rest assured that this situation will never happen." ”
“......”
Having said that, Director Mo is still a little uneasy.
There is no way, although the No. 10 project and the supporting turbofan 8 are still a long way from success, but before the high-level does not call a stop, everyone knows what attitude to take towards the problem of the turbofan 8 and the No. 10 project.
Chen Geng continued: "This can be written into our cooperation agreement, but I hope to add a supplementary agreement, that is, if one day the above believes that the No. 10 project has been completed, the R&D team is disbanded, and each unit is returned, I hope we can be allowed to contact the technical teams and personnel of each company." ”
In a word, allow us to poach people!
Said that Project 10 will be unfinished?
I don't dare to say that if I kill Chen Geng, in the current situation, isn't saying this tantamount to scolding?
"So?"
Director Mo hesitated for a moment, feeling that Chen Geng's words were not impossible to consider, after all, if the No. 10 project was really successfully completed, the various technical teams involved in this project would definitely be disbanded and return to their original units, but directly let Chen Geng dig people like this? He hesitated a little.
Chen Geng added with a smile: "Director Mo, we are not outsiders, our Chinese partner is a subordinate unit of the Third Machinery Department. ”
That's right!
Director Mo then remembered this: Maybe Chen Geng's partners are units such as Xifei, Shaanxi Fei, Chengfa, and Liming Factory, even if they poach people, in the final analysis, isn't it also the internal flow of talents in the Third Machine Department?
Thinking of this, Director Mo did not hesitate any longer, and immediately nodded: "In principle, I personally have no opinion, but I still have to report to the leaders for approval......"
After speaking, he looked straight at Chen Geng: You haven't said where your technology comes from.
Chen Geng didn't sell it: "Of course it's bought." ”
"Buy?"
Chen Geng replied and said: "Under the impact of this economic crisis, the current situation of Rolls-Royce is worse than when you bought the 'Spey' MK202 engine a few years ago.
I see!
Everyone suddenly realized and nodded involuntarily: the life of the British is indeed a little sadder now.
When Huaxia went to talk to Rolls-Royce about the introduction of "Spey" MK202 engine technology, the poor and crazy Rolls-Royce even strongly recommended the RB211 engine to Huaxia: Uncle, please, you can buy it, if you buy "Spey" MK202 and you can also buy RB211, we can also give you a discount.
With the current technological level of our country, even if we exert all the strength to eat milk, it will take at least ten or twenty years to digest and absorb the technology of the "Spey" at the level of the fifties and sixties, and I don't know how much more advanced the RB211 is than the "Spey" MK202?
Are you planning to kill us?
How much revenue does our country have a year?
It may not be enough to smash all the fiscal revenue into it.
In the eyes of the Third Machine Department and the leaders at that time, this cliff was a damned British conspiracy!
Even in the eyes of the current leaders, when we introduced the "Spey" MK202 technology, the damn British sold RB211 to us, it must have been a damn conspiracy!
But conspiracy is conspiracy, everyone knows that the British are having a hard time now, since they were willing to sell us the more sensitive, military MK202 technology when they had a bad time before, and now their life is even more difficult, let's buy a civilian aero engine technology, it should be simpler, right?
The most important thing is that Chen Geng is rich! Chen Geng is rich! Chen Geng is rich!
Say something important three times!
In 1975, when we introduced the "Spey" MK202 "Spey" engine, including patents, engine purchase and sales and engine auxiliary machine patents, a total of 76.79 million pounds were spent, and now it has only been seven years, and the introduction of civilian engine technology should not be 80 million?
80 million?!
Units or pounds?!
Director Mo, who was still immersed in excitement just now, felt that he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and the whole person was sober, he snorted twice, and even the confidence when he spoke was not so sufficient: "Mr. Chen, this ...... With so much money, we may have a hard time ......"
After all, it's a joint venture, and Huaxia has to contribute at least half, which is at least 40 million pounds and more than 50 million US dollars, where does this money come from?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the 20 million capital that Chen Geng was going to use to cooperate with the domestic civil aviation system and the money left over from buying second-hand Boeing 737 and McDonnell Douglas DC-9, which added up to about 50 million, Director Mo couldn't help but think more: So, this is all planned by Chen Geng a long time ago?
