Harper couldn't help but look dumbfounded, he never thought that a mere CAD software could make the American aviation giants put down their bodies and ask for cooperation.

Among the Chinese members who participated in the demonstration, they were also surprised and discussed.

Although they all know that the software written by Yang Weining is very powerful and fills the gap in China, it is far beyond their expectations to make American aviation giants pay so much attention.

"What's wrong with the Americans? Didn't they hold their heads high and disdain our technology a few days ago? Why did it change today?"

"Is it really as Yang Weining said, this software has led the world?"

"But even if you lead the world, it won't be like this!"

Although all of you are aviation professionals, most of them only have a superficial understanding of CAD/CAE/CAM/CAPP, and do not realize how much impact the large-scale spread of computer technology has on the manufacturing industry.

On the contrary, giants such as Lockheed and Boeing have deeply realized this.

IT IS PRECISELY BECAUSE OF THIS THAT THEY UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT YANG WEINING'S AUTOCAD IS TO THEM.

Whether it's Grumman, Boeing or Lockheed, as long as you get this software, it is equivalent to getting an artifact of aircraft design, which is very beneficial for competing for the next generation of fighters in the US Air Force.

"Okay, good Yang, you have raised a good son!"

Lu Wenjun on the side grinned crookedly, the "Peace Model" plan, China has long determined that the 601 Institute will cooperate with the Americans, and this time the US delegation came to Rongfei just to go through the motions, but after Yang Weining's stirring, it gave 611 the opportunity to carry out substantive technical cooperation with the Americans, how can this not make Lu Wenjun happy?

Yang Zhenguo didn't expect that a CAD demonstration would have such an effect, and he was relieved and emotional, this son who has never let himself worry about it, this time he really gave himself a face.

Among all the people on the scene, the most calm was Yang Weining himself, he smiled and said: "Mr. Hugh, Mr. Williams, Mr. Rod, let's talk about the cooperation later, today is just an AUTOCAD demonstration, don't take the lead." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, that's later, later. ”

Hugh smiled slightly, he only needed to express what he meant, the expressions on the faces of Director Lu of the 611 Institute and Director Yang of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense had already explained the effect he wanted.

The CAD technology demonstration meeting ended in everyone's unfinished business, and that evening, Lu Wenjun held a grand reception at the 611 Institute to entertain guests from the United States.

According to the original plan, tonight's reception should be a farewell banquet, and after that, Hugh and the others will take a connecting flight to the capital, and then transfer back to the United States from the capital.

However, with Yang Weining's demonstration, Hugh naturally would not leave easily.

After the dinner, Harper returned to the hotel with the American delegation, and Hugh, Williams, Cahill and others came together.

"Gentlemen, ...... you are?"

Harper was slightly stunned, and hurriedly let a few people into his room and sit down.

"COLONEL HARPER, AFTER PRIVATE DISCUSSIONS WITH MR. WILLIAMS, MR. RHODES AND MR. CAHILL, WE HAVE UNANIMOUSLY DECIDED THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT THE MINISTRY OF AVIATION INDUSTRY OF CHINA DIRECTLY THROUGH THE U.S. EMBASSY AND ASK THEM TO PURCHASE AUTOCAD SOFTWARE. ”

"Contact the Ministry of Aviation Industry of China directly?" Harper frowned and said, "Aren't you going to talk to the people from the 611 Institute?"

Hugh and the others glanced at each other, shook their heads and said: "After all, China is a communist country, and all research institutions are state-owned, and we can only talk directly to the higher departments of the 611 Institute to achieve better results, Colonel Harper, please believe us, this software is very important to us." ”

Harper turned his gaze to Edward Williams, Roman Rohdes, and Cahill, all of whom nodded.

Harper couldn't help but curse in his heart, these people fought to the death at the report meeting in the afternoon, who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, they would be on the same front.

BUT THIS ALSO MADE HARPER REALIZE THE EXTRAORDINARY IMPACT OF THIS AUTOCAD SOFTWARE, HE THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND SAID, "YES, BUT I NEED TO TALK TO MR. AMBASSADOR." ”

With that, Harper motioned for everyone to be calm, returned to his room, and contacted the U.S. Embassy in Beijing through the satellite phone with automatic encryption that he had brought with him.

……

Capital, twelve o'clock in the morning.

As the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, Gong Weijiang's daily work is quite heavy.

No, he had just finished a day's work, was soaking his feet, and was about to wash his feet and go to bed, when the red confidential phone in the study suddenly rang.

Gong Weijiang hurriedly took the towel from his wife's hand to dry his wet feet, walked to the study in cotton slippers, and picked up the phone.

"Hello, who?"

"Yes, yes, it's me!"

After saying a few words to the person on the other end of the phone, Gong Weijiang's face changed suddenly: "What? The Americans have asked us to buy CAD software? What are you kidding, we were talking to Lockheed about introducing CADAM software a few days ago." This is the message that the U.S. Embassy sent to us through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When did it happen? Are you sure? The U.S. delegation canceled the rest of the trip? Okay, I know, so let's do it first!"

Hanging up the phone, Gong Weijiang's face was blue for a while, red for a while, and white for a while, lit a cigarette and thought for a while, then picked up the phone again, dialed another number and said: "Help me contact an air force plane immediately, I need to go to Rongcheng, I have urgent business." ”

His wife, Han Lu, came over with a cup of tea and said, "Old Gong, what's wrong?"

Gong Weijiang said with a wry smile: "It was a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just now, and I don't know what's going on, the American aviation delegation went to Rongfei and took a fancy to a software developed by 611, and actually made a purchase request to us directly through the embassy." ”

Han Lu was also stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a great thing?

Gong Weijiang glared and said: "I still don't know the level of 611? It has only been established for many years, and the overall level is not even as good as that of the 601 Institute, how can the Americans look down on the software they have developed, there must be something wrong with this! I have to go to the airport and take a plane to Chengdu now." ”

Han Lu frowned and said, "It's the middle of the night, why don't you leave tomorrow!"

Gong Weijiang said: "No, I don't feel at ease if I don't find out about this matter, this time the Americans came to talk to us about cooperation, we have asked each other for help, and now that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, I must go to Rongcheng as soon as possible to understand clearly." ”
