Chapter 265 Strengthening technical cooperation with Rolls-Royce

β€”β€”Rolls-Royce of the United Kingdom, since 1962, when it exported Dart engines to Huaxia to provide power for Huaxia Vickers Jue aircraft, has carried out technical cooperation with the Huaxia government.

In 1970, Rolls-Royce transferred Spey 512 engine overhaul technology to Huaxia, and in the same year, Spey 512 engines began to power forklift aircraft.

In 1976, Rolls-Royce introduced the military Spey 202K engine to China.

It can be said that the current development of Huaxia Aviation Power Industry has a very important relationship with the technical support of Rolls-Royce in the United Kingdom.

Rolls-Royce has two major industrial groups, one is the Aviation Industry Group and the other is the Industrial Power Group. The former specializes in the production and operation of various types of aircraft engines, while the latter mainly produces and operates various types of industrial power equipment.

Yang Weiping is not lacking in aviation power technology at present, but industrial power technology is not his strongest point.

Rolls-Royce's high-power marine gas turbine technology has always been the best in the world.

Now that Rolls-Royce has taken the initiative to come to the door, Yang Weiping has of course to solve the large-scale marine gas turbine technology that is indispensable for industrial power.

Gas turbines, too, require nickel-based single crystal alloys to make turbine blades.

A gas turbine needs to be composed of several turbine blades, of which the first turbine blade needs to be composed of 96 blades. If all of these blades were replaced with a single crystal alloy, the power generated would be significantly higher.

Yang Weiping's proposal of this condition can be said to have comprehensively considered the interests of the Huaxia government and the Rolls-Royce Company. Such a condition shall be rejected by the board of directors of Rolly-Royce.

It is important to know that investing in mainland China has long become a hot topic of discussion among major consortia and multinational companies in the world.

Today, one of the shareholders of Rolls-Royce is a high-ranking official with real power in the Huaxia government, which is certainly very beneficial to Rolls-Royce's investment and development in China.

Yang Weiping's purpose was quite clear, using Rolls-Royce's technology in gas turbine manufacturing to invest in the construction of the plant, and in the next negotiation with General Motors, he proposed to introduce the production license of the LM2500 gas turbine as a condition.

At the beginning of next year, after the start of China's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. The relationship between China and the United States will become more intimate.

Since Commander No. 1 had openly said in the United States that he would teach disobedient Vietnamese children a lesson, this made the US Government feel extremely excited.

The US imperialists' wishful thinking of turning China into its anti-Soviet frontier has generously unlocked the export and import of many advanced weapons and military technology.

Not long ago, Yang Weiping learned from a document from the intelligence department of the General Staff Department that the United States has now agreed to export SH70 "Black Hawk" helicopters and F14 "Tomcat" fighters to China, the purpose of which is to strengthen China's military strength on the northern border. Further irritated the Soviet Union. A military confrontation between the two nuclear powers will be formed, thereby sharing the pressure on part of the national security of the United States.

Since the US Government is willing to provide the complete F14 "Tomcat" fighter plane, Yang Weiping has purchased several sets of LM2500 gas turbines from General Motors, and I believe that the US Government will definitely give the green light to let them go.

Anyway, Huaxia has now solved the big shortcoming of precision CNC machine tools, and the material is the strength of Yang Dakejia, plus now the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense has carried out an effective integration and reorganization of the whole heavy industry, with the wisdom of the Chinese people, no matter what it is, as long as there is something. We can come out of the copycat perfectly! Maybe it can be better after improvement!

John Rawls accepted Sir Young's conditions almost without even thinking about it.

Rolls-Royce has been cooperating with the Chinese government and has a good understanding of China's national conditions. John Rawls received authorization from the board of directors to conduct a systematic investigation of China's investment environment.

Now it is found that the company's shareholder, Sir Yang Da, has served in the Huaxia government, which obviously further guarantees Rolls-Royce's investment in Huaxia. As long as you can receive an official order from the Chinese government. Not to mention investing in a large gas turbine manufacturing plant, it is no problem to invest in another aircraft engine plant.

However, out of the prudence that a good professional manager should have, John Rawls still nodded and asked: "Mr. Yang, is this gas turbine manufacturing plant invested by Rolls-Royce a joint venture with the Huaxia government, or is it wholly owned by us?"

Yang Weiping groaned slightly. Instead of answering, he asked: "As the vice president of the company, Mr. Rawls, do you think it is better to be a sole proprietorship or a joint venture?"

"If it's up to me to choose. I'd rather be a sole proprietor!" John Rawls replied flatly.

"As far as I know, at present, China's Jinling Steam Turbine Motor Factory has a relatively complete mass production capacity of 1500kw power station gas turbine, 37kw pump gas turbine, 1000kw power station gas turbine, and 21700kw fast-loading power station gas turbine. Yang Weiping said with a smile: "In addition, the 550kw marine gas turbine, 6000kw train power station gas turbine, 3295kw, 10kw, 18380kw marine gas turbine produced by Huhai Steam Turbine Factory;

The 2200kw locomotive gas turbine, 1000kw free piston gas turbine, 3295kw locomotive gas turbine and other series produced by Harbin Steam Turbine Factory are relatively mature products. Although there may be a certain gap in terms of technology compared with the same type of foreign products, the advantage is that the production cost is low, and the cost performance is still more satisfactory.

If Rolls-Royce is a sole proprietorship, I would like to know, what advantages can you use to get orders from the government?"

John Rawls looked down and pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Sir Young, what do you mean?"

"I personally suggest that you better send a professional technical team to conduct a systematic and comprehensive inspection of Jinling Steam Turbine Factory, Huhai Steam Turbine Factory, and Harbin Steam Turbine Factory. Yang Weiping said solemnly: "If Rolls-Royce can inject funds and advanced technology and management models into this large-scale steam turbine factory in a planned manner to form a joint-stock joint venture, in the future, Rolls-Royce will not have to worry about orders in Huaxia." ”

"Sir Xie Lu Xie Yang, I will convey your suggestions to all shareholders of the Board of Directors of the Company. John Rawls nodded solemnly.

"I attach great importance to the good foundation of cooperation between Rolls-Royce and the Chinese government. Yang Weiping said: "From the standpoint of the company's shareholders, I would prefer to let Rolls-Royce Company fully blossom the production capacity of the industrial power group in the Chinese market." This will do Rolls-Royce a good idea of getting out of the current market weakness. ”

Yang Weiping said these words in his capacity as a shareholder of Rolls-Royce, and John Rawls immediately stood up and bowed, "Dear Sir Yang." I will report to the Board of Directors for instructions immediately. ”

Yang Weiping nodded and asked Jiang Tiegang to lead the two British guests to the Ministry of Commerce of the State Guesthouse to make an international call.

In the living room, only Yang Weiping and Donald, two old friends, remained.

"Yang, as an old friend, I would like to cautiously remind you of your current status. For the development of Tiangong laboratory in Europe. Not very favorable. Donald looked at Yang Weiping very seriously and said.

Yang Weiping nodded lightly, and said, "I have been thinking about this question all along. Although the relationship between China and the Western world is becoming more and more harmonious, international political relations have always been delicate and complex.

Although the embargo imposed by the Batumi Organization on China has become quite relaxed, a number of important equipment and technologies related to national strategy are still strictly blocked. Professor Donald, to be honest, I'm more focused on the Chinese market than the European market.

Interests have always been the best guarantee for maintaining friendship. Tiangong Laboratory was built bit by bit from a dilapidated laboratory that was facing bankruptcy and closure. It is the result of my countless efforts. I certainly don't want to see it come back because of hostility.

Tiangong Laboratory is a professional commercial laboratory, and the value of its existence is to transform all kinds of technical inventions into commercial value to the greatest extent. From the very beginning, I had no intention of embroiling the lab in the political vortex.

In terms of the current international political landscape, as Sino-US relations continue to heat up. The biggest threat to the Tiangong Laboratory is not the United States, not a member of NATO, but the Eastern European socialist camp with the Soviet Union as its head.

Tiangong Laboratory, from the very beginning, has been doing its duty and contributing to the development of human science and technology on the earth. Whether it is nanotechnology or the first generation of aluminum-lithium alloy technology. Tiangong laboratory has benefited all developed countries in the world.

If, on such a basis, the Tiangong Laboratory is still unfairly surrounded and intercepted, I would rather disband it. I will never bow to any country or government! I can build a heavenly work in Switzerland, and in China, I can also build a super heavenly work with a larger scale and a wider range of research!"

Seeing the resolute look in Yang Weiping's eyes, Donald couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Yang, I don't think things should be as pessimistic as you think." The Field family will never let the interests of Tiangong Laboratory be harmed. ”

"Hehe, I've always believed in the wisdom of the Grand Duke of Field. Yang Weiping nodded and smiled.

The political risks that Tiangong Lab is currently facing were expected to be employed as early as when Yang Weiping decided to exchange the shares of the laboratory with the Field family.

Now, the interests of him and the Field family have been firmly tied to the same chain of interests, and one is prosperous and the other is lost.

Both the investment in Kenya and the Federal Republic of Germany has benefited the Field family.

With the help of the Fielder family's power in Europe, Yang Weiping also completed the original capital accumulation of his life and career, even if all assets are now frozen by Western countries, it will not have any impact on the process of China's national industrialization system.

At best, nothing more than his personal wealth was lost.

However, given China's current relations with the United States and the United Kingdom, the possibility of such a situation is almost zero.

Unless it's the Field family who suddenly turns against him!

But could Grand Duke Field do that? The answer is obviously no! Because to do so would be absolutely harmful to the Field family!

Now, what Yang Weiping has to do is to make full use of his current good credit, borrow as much as he can in Swiss banks, and then fully invest in mainland China. At the same time, there are plans to transfer the existing technical resources of Tiangong Laboratory to Huaxia.

This work is quietly carried out by Jessica's Abt Mining Investment Company, as well as six other investment companies.

As for investment in Kenya, Yang Weiping has no need to worry about it at all. Unless the Kenyan government is collectively brain-dead, the Kenyan will do everything in its power to protect the industries in which he invests.

At the very least, until the Chinese government and the US government openly tear their faces, his industries abroad are safe. There are at least ten years left in this period!

Give him ten years, he can not only help Huaxia complete the construction of the national industrialization system, but also develop Tiangong Group into the largest super consortium in the world. The Rock Mercenary will also grow into the largest mercenary organization in the world.

When the day comes, if anyone dares to touch the Tiangong Group, he will dare to break the net with him!

In 1985, when the Soviet Union's Chernobyl nuclear power plant was about to leak large-scale nuclear weapons, he only needed to warn the Soviet government a few months in advance, which would certainly bring him closer to the Soviet Union.

At that time, we will take advantage of the opportunity of the Soviet Union's large-scale plan to destroy nuclear warheads, buy dozens of nuclear warheads from the Soviet military leaders who have begun to decay and degenerate, and buy two Typhoon-class nuclear submarines of the Soviet Union's all-titanium structure.

The response from Rolls-Royce's board of directors was fairly quick. The most important thing is that the shareholders know that Sir Yang is in the Huaxia government, and I believe that he will definitely take care of the interests of Rolls-Royce in Huaxia, after all, these interests are also related to Sir Yang's private interests.

As a result, Rolls-Royce selected a gas turbine professional technical team from its subordinate industrial power group, and went to China by special plane to begin a comprehensive investigation of Huhai Steam Turbine Factory, Jinling Steam Turbine Factory, and Harbin Steam Turbine Factory.

After the conclusion of the negotiations with Rolls-Royce, Yang Weiping asked Jiang Tiegang to notify the negotiation delegation of General Motors.

It has to be said that the intelligence power of the US CIA cannot be underestimated. Yang Weiping didn't expect that in the negotiation delegation of General Motors, he actually saw another acquaintance.

An Peiya was stunned when she saw that the negotiator of the Huaxia government was actually her big boss, Dr. John Yang. She now understands why the Americans would apply to the Taiwan authorities and ask her to accompany the GM delegation to the capital of China.

Obviously, the U.S. government has already known that the director of the China Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense is her boss, Dr. John Yang, a world-famous scientist!

Moreover, GM's negotiating delegation was accompanied by high-ranking figures from the US CIA. ______________________
