Chapter 301: Let's go into battle
As long as he succeeds in getting Dam's attention, the chances of success are much greater, because what he is telling is the truth.
"According to the latest news, the Chinese government is very interested in the West German side to take the initiative to participate in the development of a linear passenger aircraft, considering that this is only a regional airliner project, and the domestic passenger aircraft development plan does not conflict, so it is very likely that the project will continue to advance. ”
There is no need to say too absolutely, just now is enough for Damm to digest it for a long time, compared to the new generation of large bypass than medium thrust civil engine, the current Qingcheng engine is much less important.
Qingcheng engine is important to the republic, but on the Spey project department's side, they only get some R&D remuneration, and it is definitely impossible to make a profit by selling this engine.
If the project department really wants to turn over, the only way out is to quickly get an engine that can be produced on a large scale, preferably a series of best-selling products, so as to have a chance to counterattack.
There is no doubt that the news sent by Wang Zhengguo is definitely a send-off in the snow, if the Qingcheng engine project is a mouthful of food when the Spey project is brave to ensure that it can survive in the most difficult time, then this civil culvert is an important introduction for the project department to reorganize the rivers and mountains.
How could Dam not be excited? And why should he not be excited?
"This is a very valuable piece of news, we will consider carefully, as for the Qingcheng engine, its progress is very stable, can ensure that the entire design will be finalized next year, and the relevant information will be transferred to you as soon as possible. ”
It seems to be a fluttering sentence, but everyone involved in the talks understands that this old man will not do anything about the Qingcheng engine project in the future, which is very good!
Wu Daguan has been following up the Qingcheng engine project in Derby, and there is no opportunity and real-time channels to know the changes in the domestic aviation industry, not to mention that this MBB to the Republic is not a big fanfare, before the final cooperation between the two sides is determined, everyone is relatively low-key, that is, Wang Zhengguo This guy may know this.
If you don't know, you will talk less, and if you say more, you will lose, this ancient saying was implemented by Wu Daguan very well, and only when the two sides talked about Qingcheng engine, he would reluctantly speak.
"Old friend, the current engine development progress is indeed very good, but the generation of mass production capacity, our Chinese side is still very lacking, and since the engine test is roughly qualified, I think we can start the production capacity training of Southwest Motor Company in accordance with the current design indicators, and strive to complete the production as soon as possible. ”
This is what Wang Zhengguo said to Wu Daguan when he first came to Derby, and now it is more appropriate for him to bring it up again than Wang Zhengguo.
"This problem is what we have stipulated before, and we will definitely help you achieve production finalization in accordance with the regulations, as for the complete production of the engine by you, I can't say this for the time being, after all, there are too many things involved in an engine, even if we are Rolls-Royce, there are many parts and components that are purchased externally. ”
To realize the full localization of Qingcheng engine, this is the direction that Wang Zhengguo must work towards, and it is also the only fundamental place where Southwest Motivation can survive in the 90s.
If it is not possible to produce Qingcheng engines in batches, it means that Southwest Motor will not have profitable products at hand, and it will be difficult to get the opportunity to engage in the development of the engine.
At this time, Wang Zhengguo's attitude was extremely resolute: "The full localization of Qingcheng engine is the bottom line drawn by the Chinese government for Southwest Motor, if we can't achieve this, this Sino-German cooperation regional airliner project, Southwest Motivation will no longer assume the power system part of the Chinese person in charge." ”
This is what Wang Zhengguo is purely talking about, MBB came to the Republic to promote the MPC-75 program, which is only limited to the field of aircraft development, as for the engine, sorry, the two sides really did not mention cooperation.
Fortunately, there is still a certain possibility in this nonsense, Damm did not attach much importance to the domestic production of Qingcheng engines, but now that the Republic is so concerned, he understands.
"Well, since you are so determined to complete the national production in a short period of time, then first of all, you are afraid to invest more money, in addition to being able to continue the original Spey 202 engine production process, Qingcheng has a lot of new technologies that have only broken through in the last ten years, if you really want to introduce, then you have to spend another amount of money, which is expected to be about 20 million pounds, so as to ensure that all technology transfer can be achieved in a short period of time. ”
After saying that, I temporarily remembered a key question, and then added.
"In addition, you have to arrange the corresponding technical undertaking unit, just your Southwest Motivation This newly established company will definitely not be able to do all the parts, find some supporting enterprises to digest together, which is also a way to improve the efficiency of your localization. ”
To talk about the production of supporting parts, of course, these can not be less, just for this matter, Wang Zhengguo has contacted the 430 Hongqi Factory, which was responsible for Spey's domestic production and is now still engaged in competition for Spey gas turbine project, as well as 113 Aviation Dynamic Control Factory, Liyang Machinery Factory under the 001 base, and 420 Chengfa Factory, which is also home in Shudu.
Outside of the aviation system, the future power generation equipment of the Republic, the Dongfang Steam Turbine Factory, which is engaged in the manufacture of steam turbines and gas turbines, and the second heavy machinery factory of Guozitou, which is engaged in the manufacture of super-large special equipment and parts, have not all been left behind.
These units have strong talents and technical reserves in the eighties, as well as strong support from the national level, to say that the Qingcheng engine project supporting the production of various types of special equipment, parts, must be fully capable.
If these units had not been contacted in advance, and there were high-level leaders in charge of the industrial port in the imperial capital to greet these factories and ask them to go all out to cooperate with the domestic production of Qingcheng engines, Wang Zhengguo really did not have the confidence to achieve full localization within a few years.
It is the support of these units behind the scenes, and only when I speak can I have confidence: "I have already planned this, and the relevant units are ready to be in place, just waiting for the British side to act, this time I am actually here to communicate with both sides to carry out work." ”
The words were very imposing, and it also made Dahm feel a little more relieved, he could feel that this Qingcheng engine project was different from the last Spey 202, and after the change of the general contracting cooperation subject of the republic, many things were easier, especially in terms of decision-making, and there was a lot less nonsense.
And this is the fundamental reason why Wang Zhengguo said that once Southwest Motive lagged behind in the localization of Qingcheng engines, it would be excluded from the regional airliner project by the country, and Damm frowned at that time and immediately changed his attitude, because he was really not optimistic about the international cooperation capabilities of other units in the Republic.
"That's good, I will immediately arrange and sort out production-related issues, and then go with you to assist in the technical appraisal of supporting manufacturers before the engine production is finalized, as well as logistics and quality system control. Logically, these should be a consultation fee, but for the sake of our mutual pleasure, they are all provided free of charge. ”
