Chapter 962 - Sell the Aero Engine
It is possible that Ukraine will sell the Varyag aircraft carrier to the outside world?!
The first one that can't sit still is the diplomatic system. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Aircraft carriers, especially a well-equipped aircraft carrier battle group, for a country's strategic security, for the country's regional stability how important it is, this point is needless to say, the republic dreams of having its own aircraft carrier battle group, our party's pursuit of aircraft carriers can even be traced back to the Yan'an period (of course, at that time, you can only think about it), from the dismantling of Australia's Melbourne in the early 80s to the "891 Project" in previous years, the Republic has never stopped on the road of pursuing aircraft carriers, But the biggest dream of the republic is nothing more than a medium-sized conventionally powered aircraft carrier with a displacement of 40,000 or 50,000 tons, and the Varyag is a sturdy and large aircraft carrier.
Ding Ruoyan's father didn't care about finding trouble with Chen Geng, and asked, "Boy, did Makarov say this himself?" ”
As the vice minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Minister Ding is particularly concerned about this matter.
Chen Geng knew how much the republic attached importance to this matter, and he did not dare to be sloppy on this issue, and said: "Makarov did not say, from the perspective of the feelings of Ukraine and Russia, Russia hopes to buy the Varyag back, but this is basically impossible with Russia's current national conditions and economic situation.
With Ukraine's land area, population and geopolitics, the Ukrainian government knows very well that it cannot have such strategic equipment, and it is impossible to let such a big guy occupy the slipway all the time, and it is inevitable to dispose of this big guy, Makarov said that the best way out for the Varyag is to sell it, not to be dismantled into a pile of scrap metal. ”
Vice Minister Ding paced back and forth in the study.
Although Ukraine has inherited a large amount of military heritage from the former Soviet Union and has become the world's third largest nuclear weapons group with hundreds of intercontinental missiles and dozens of strategic bombers, from the analysis of Ukraine's political leanings, geopolitics, population, and national territory, which are key indicators to measure a country, Ukraine cannot and does not have enough economic strength to maintain these strategic armed forces. Now Ukraine is negotiating with Western countries led by the United States on how to destroy these strategic weapons, and the Varyag aircraft carrier, which is still stuck on slipway No. 1, is naturally also being discussed. The question is......
Stopping, Vice Minister Ding asked Chen Geng in a deep voice, "How much chance do you think we have?" ”
"Let's put it this way," Chen Geng said: "Looking at the whole world, those who have this economic strength have basically had their own aircraft carriers for a long time, and their military systems are basically all Western, which does not match the Soviet-style system; If you look at it, you can't afford it, and there is only our country, which is a country that has this economic strength and this demand, and at the same time does not have an aircraft carrier. ”
After a brief pause, Chen Geng added: "Of course, although I said that, if we want to get the Varyag back, I don't know how much work and cost it will take, but in general, our hopes are not small." ”
Deputy Minister Ding nodded, and then advised: "Don't cut off the contact with Director Makarov, this is very important." ”
"Don't worry." Chen Geng responded and cut off contact with Makarov? Are you kidding! This is a high-level talent that the Soviet Union trained with three generations of aircraft carriers, okay?
"Oh, by the way, the Dutch Fokker Aircraft Company is in contact with China Eastern Airlines to sell their Fokker 100 to China Eastern Airlines, you better prepare for this."
The Fokker 100 and the MPC-75 have basically the same market positioning, both are a kind of "large feeder/quasi-trunk" jet civil aircraft, but the difference is that the Fokker 100 is developed on the basis of the Fokker F28 mark 4000, and the technology is relatively old, while the MPC-75 of Runhua Industry is an aircraft developed for the new era by applying the most advanced aircraft manufacturing technology and design concepts at present.
After knowing that Fokker's F100 market positioning is the same as that of his son-in-law's products, even if it is for the sake of supporting the development of his country's aviation industry, Vice Minister Ding hopes that Chen Geng will do something within the framework of the rules.
Chen Geng really didn't disappoint him, and the kid's brows furrowed suddenly: "The Dutchman's hand is stretched long enough." ”
I wasn't going to do anything to you, but you put your claws on my plate first.
"Let me remind you boy, the current international environment in our country is not very good, no matter what you do, but there is one thing that you kid remembered for me, any means can only be means within the framework of the rules, understand?"
There is no need for Comrade Lao Ding to remind him, Chen Geng also knows what to do, but in the face of Comrade Lao Ding's reminder, he still nodded solemnly and said: "Please rest assured, I only use normal business methods to compete with the Dutch." ”
………………………………
"China Eastern Airlines is ready to purchase a batch of Fokker F100 aircraft from the Dutch Fokker company?" Old Man Xie was also a little confused: "What kind of plane is this?" ”
"Well...... Chen Geng thought for a while and said: "The appearance of this aircraft is similar to that of McDonnell Douglas-82, with a 3+2 cockpit, tail crane engine, and a high-flat tail aerodynamic layout, but the number of passengers is only about two-thirds of McDonnell Douglas-82, and the thrust of the engine is also equivalent to two-thirds of McDonnell Douglas-82." ”
"It's a version of the Dutch version of McDonnell Douglas-82 with a shortened fuselage and thrust," Mr. Xie immediately understood: "This sounds similar to the positioning of our MPC-75." ”
Chen Geng: "It's similar to the original 3+2 MPC-75, but isn't the current MPC-75 changed to 3+3, and the thrust of the engine is much larger than that of Fokker 100." That's not what I want to say, old man, ......"
"Well, you say."
"The Fokker 100 is now using the Rolls-Royce MK620-15 engine, and I heard a gossip that it seems that the company in which Rolls-Royce has a stake is the one called BMW-Royce, and is ready to sell their BR710 engine to Fokker," Chen Gengcheng smiled: "Since BMW-Royce Rowe is so unkind, how about we take this opportunity to sell our improved NK-8 to Fokker by the way?" For example, if Fokker wants to sell the F100 to China Eastern Airlines, it must be equipped with our engines. ”
"Sizzle......" Old Man Xie gasped: "Good boy, your trick is ruthless enough." ”
Let's not talk about whether Chen Geng's idea can be realized, but if he can really successfully sell the NK-8 to the Dutch, it will not only severely avenge the revenge that was given by BMW-Ronaldo and slap them in the face, but also lay a good foundation for Runhua Industry to open up the NK-8 market. What else are you worried about?
It's a joy to think about the expressions on the faces of the executives of Royce and BMW-Royce.
Of course, these are not the main points, but the point is that it is possible for Runhua Industrial to sell the NK-8 to Dutch aircraft manufacturers. In the past, of course, it was not possible, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that there was no possibility at all, but if Fokker planned to sell their planes to China Eastern Airlines, it would not be without a chance at all -- if the customer insisted on the optional NK-8, what could Fokker do? Can they still give up such a large market?
After thinking seriously for a moment, Old Man Xie finally spoke: "It's not that there is no hope at all, but this is too difficult, not to mention whether China Eastern Airlines is willing to cooperate with us and force the Dutch to adopt our engine, the most realistic point at the moment, we haven't even built the first batch of engines for testing this improved NK-8, even if it is the fastest speed, when we get the airworthiness license and production license, it will be 2 years later. Not to mention that Fokker still has to do adaptability and matching tests on the engine, Fokker is willing to go to such trouble? Is China Eastern willing to take this trip to troubled waters? ”
"Whether Fokker is willing to cause this trouble depends on how attractive our civil aviation market is to them," Chen Geng was very calm: "Why does Fokker want to promote their products to China Eastern Airlines?" Isn't it just that we have seen that our booming economy has driven the civil aviation market to develop rapidly, and we are ready to test the water? Since it is a test of water, it is normal to pay a price. ”
Mr. Xie was somewhat convinced, and the most important thing is that if Runhua Industry can really successfully sell its aero engine products to European aircraft manufacturers, the publicity effect of Runhua Industry is too great, and Mr. Xie can't bear this temptation. It's just that he also has some other worries: "That being said, the market positioning of this aircraft and ours is almost exactly the same, if the Dutch gain a firm foothold in the country, what should we do?" ”
In order to sell the engine, he lost the market for the aircraft, and this account is a great loss.
Chen Geng smiled: "I have also considered this problem, there is indeed such a risk, and the F100 may indeed have a certain impact on our aircraft, but I don't think it will really have much impact on us." ”
"Oh?" Old Man Xie raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?" ”
"Costs and import taxes!"
Chen Geng said: "I don't know what the production cost of the Dutch is, but referring to the McDonnell Douglas aircraft, even the Americans with the most experience in aircraft production and the strongest cost control ability have to bow their heads, I don't think that the Dutch aircraft will be cheaper than us in terms of production costs." ”
As for why the McDonnell Douglas-82 assembled by Shangfei is not much different from the one imported from the United States, hehe...... Is there a more bizarre aircraft manufacturer than flying?
