Before Ding Ruoyan became angry, someone quickly changed the topic very familiarly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the action of holding his hair with his hand, Ding Ruoyan calmed down and said: "The meaning of the leaders is to bring a little bit of our traditional Chinese characteristics, such as Suzhou embroidery, porcelain, and cloisonné...... These are more representative of our traditional culture, but the price is not particularly expensive. ”

Diplomatic gifts are not very expensive, as many people think, and are luxury goods that cost tens of thousands of dollars at every turn; in fact, on the contrary, as a symbol of etiquette between countries, gifts given to each other are not too cheap, but they are definitely not too expensive, usually between a few hundred dollars and several thousand dollars, and generally not more than two or three thousand dollars, and any more will be suspected of accepting bribes -- although such a thing as a politician taking bribes is not uncommon in various countries. But who would be stupid enough to give someone a handle on a gift?

Chen Geng was not very satisfied: "I said that your Ministry of Foreign Affairs can have an open mind when thinking about problems?" Don't be able to move around porcelain, Suzhou embroidery, cloisonne, these traditional handicrafts? Can you get something more modern and send these things all day long, foreigners think that we in China can only produce these things, and they are completely out of touch with modern civilization. ”

"We haven't thought about it?" Ding Ruoyan glanced at Chen Geng angrily: "If you don't send these, what can we send?" Whether it is on science and technology or industry, we have a big gap with the developed countries in Europe and the United States. ”

"It's ......," Chen Geng grinned.

With the industrial level and scientific and technological level of our country, it is just enough to send scientific and technological products or advanced industrial manufactured products to Africa, but what is South America? That's the back garden of the Americans, South Americans have not seen the market, and it can even be said that people have seen a lot more good things than China, at least the so-called "Paris Coordinating Committee" will not care what industrial equipment or technological equipment South American countries plan to buy, especially for Argentina, a country whose ancestors were once broad.

"So ......" Ding Ruoyan spread his hands and said helplessly: "You say, if we don't send these things, what else can we send?" ”

The truth is such a truth, but Chen Geng's brows are furrowed.

"What do you think of?" As Chen Geng's fiancée, Ding Ruoyan doesn't know some of her boyfriend's habits, but some small details are still very clear, and when she saw Chen Geng's frowning action, she immediately asked.

Chen Geng did not answer directly, but said to Ding Ruoyan: "You know that our company has an airplane, right?" ”

"You mean MPC-75?" Ding Ruoyan said funny: "The prototype of this plane hasn't been built yet, right?" Are you going to sell this plane to the Argentines? ”

"It's not the MPC-75, it's the American A-1, the A-1H ...... we got our hands on a few years ago."

Without waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking, Ding Ruoyan suddenly understood what kind of aircraft Chen Geng was talking about: "It's the one you built a few prototypes and gave 2 to Haizhou Customs?" ”

"That's right."

"You're not mistaken, are you?" Ding Ruoyan looked at Chen Geng with wide eyes, and said: "Those are all old planes that the Americans have retired for almost 20 years, and even if you don't say how backward this thing is, do you give planes as gifts?" ”

Of course, Ding Ruoyan knew that Chen Geng had gotten the A-1H "Sky Raider" carrier-based attack plane from somewhere, and he even laughed at him fiercely at the beginning, saying that Chen Geng was a rag-picker, and later after Chen Geng successfully copied this plane, he once asked Chen Geng curiously, what is the point of copying such a backward and outdated aircraft? In Ding Ruoyan's view, what role can such a backward propeller aircraft play in modern air combat? It's a live target for the enemy!

"No, it's not to send planes, to be precise, it's to give the right to use these two planes in the next two years to the Argentine customs department," thinking of the performance of the two planes in Haizhou Customs in the past few years, Chen Geng couldn't help laughing: "Do you know that our two planes are the two used by Haizhou Customs, what is the effect?" ”

"How?" Ding Ruoyan asked subconsciously.

"Very good, Haizhou Customs' evaluation is very high," Speaking of this, Chen Geng was really a little proud: "You know, this aircraft has a very long stay in the air, with the auxiliary fuel tank can reach more than 10 hours, except for the Yun 8 such a medium-sized transport aircraft, any other aircraft in China does not have such a long endurance, and itself also brought a few machine guns, in the maritime anti-smuggling activities to make a huge contribution, just last month, Haizhou Customs Director Lu also told me that he intends to renew the cooperation contract with us for another two years." ”

"Really?" Ding Ruoyan was surprised.

Although Ding Ruoyan is a person in the diplomatic system and does not know much about aviation or even science and engineering, she knows that if the performance of this aircraft is not very good, it is impossible for Haizhou Customs to ask for the renewal of the contract.

"Of course it's true, let me put it this way, in the customs, maritime anti-smuggling, maritime and border patrols that are in active service in countries around the world today...... Oh, by the way, I heard that the US Coast Guard has a patrol plane converted from a C-130 medium-sized transport plane, which can continue to fly for more than 10 hours, but how expensive is the C-130 plane, a plane is tens of millions of dollars, and a patrol mission is a comprehensive use cost of two or three hundred thousand, and our aircraft is different, the procurement cost is less than 2 million, and the unit is still RMB. It's a cost-effective deal......"

Listening to Chen Geng's triumphant show-off, Ding Ruoyan thought thoughtfully: "Listen to what you mean, that is, for all the planes in the world that are not fighting on the front line, but it is necessary to be equipped with a certain amount of armed forces, the endurance is similar to that of your aircraft, and it is much more expensive than your aircraft; An aircraft of a similar price to yours can't compare to you in terms of endurance, right? ”

"That's right," Chen Geng paused, and added: "To be precise, those planes with a similar price to ours are not eligible to be purchased by the governments and law enforcement agencies of various countries at all, and the planes at this price can only be small civil aircraft and agricultural aircraft, and the endurance will basically not exceed three or four hours." ”

"If that's the case, then there should be a lot of market space for this aircraft......"

"Of course, the A-1 was once the main carrier-based attack aircraft of the US Navy, and when the Americans fought Vietnam, this cargo was still the main combat aircraft, and it performed very well on the battlefield in Vietnam, and I heard that the United States is preparing to make a war film with this aircraft as the theme," Chen Geng said: "The Americans retired this plane from the Navy, and the fact that the aircraft could not meet the combat needs of the US Navy was only a small aspect, and it was more of a face factor: Brother is also the first navy on the earth, and the F-18 is also the first navy on the earth The Hornet's fighter jets are all in service, and they are still using old-fashioned propeller aircraft, is there a shame in it? This is a matter of face, and if A-1 is not retired, how can the Navy ask for funds from the congressional masters?

But for Argentina, this plane is enough to go directly to the battlefield, do you know what the Argentine fighter was during the Anglo-Afghan naval battle in the early 80s? ”

"What is it?" Ding Ruoyan was really a little curious: "I'm afraid I remember that there seems to be a phantom of France?" ”

Chen Geng nodded: "It's the Mirage 3 and the Mirage 4, and the A-4 that was retired earlier than the A-1, oh, and the 'Super Flag' attack plane that sank the British Sheffield missile destroyer with the 'Harpoon' anti-ship missile, and the rest is a bunch of old-fashioned propeller aircraft, like some 'Plaka' propeller attack aircraft......

"Wouldn't it? Are there really propeller planes? Ding Ruoyan was shocked by Chen Geng's words -- If the retirement of the A-1 attack plane from the US Navy was in the early 70s, there is still some natural feeling, but the Anglo-Argentine naval battle on Matsu Island has only been a few years, and it has not been more than 10 years, and in the high-tech war less than 10 years ago, Argentine propeller planes are still on the battlefield?

This fact has had a great impact on Ding Ruoyan's cognition: In the past few years in the Middle East, she has seen only one kind of propeller fixed-wing military aircraft: military transport aircraft, and none of the aircraft directly involved in front-line military operations have a propeller. She always thought that in the context of modern military conflicts, the air combat equipment of both sides must be supersonic jets, but she did not expect that in the Anglo-Argentine naval battle of the island less than 10 years later, there were propeller combat aircraft on the battlefield......

"It's not a great secret, I don't need to talk nonsense, do I?" Chen Geng smiled: "You are right, I also think that even if this aircraft cannot directly participate in military operations, but as the main carrier-based attack aircraft of the US Navy, it can still play a role in sea and land border patrols, maritime anti-smuggling and other purposes...... If you don't want to make more money, how can you support your daughter-in-law? ”

"Yes, yes," Ding Ruoyan nodded again and again, suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned his head suddenly, and stared at Chen Geng viciously: "Is it expensive to feed me?!" ”

――――――――――――――――

"You capitalists, it's really extravagant," Sitting on the jet business plane of Runhua Industrial, Ding Ruoyan's mouth was like a poisonous snake that kept spitting venom, and he never stopped: "How many people do you have to take a Boeing 737 to convert into a private jet......

As for the fact that he never got off the sofa after sitting on this soft and comfortable leather sofa that can be turned into a small bed after being put down, he has long been ignored by Comrade Ding Ruoyan.

Chen Geng lazily corrected: "First of all, this plane is not a people's fat and people's ointment, our Runhua Industry is a joint-stock company, and the four words 'people's fat and people's ointment' are not used on our heads; secondly, this aircraft is bought by our own company's money, as an excellent endorsement of the company's image and a tool to show its strength, this aircraft has helped us win the value of the order, and it is more than enough to buy three or five Boeing 737s; third......"

Pointing to the comrades of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who were not far behind him, like Grandma Liu's entry into the Grand View Garden, Chen Geng said: "If this plane is also the people's fat and the people's anointment, then you hateful bureaucrats are now enjoying the people's fat and the people's anointing. ”

"Hmph......" Ding Ruoyan snorted, like a queen, and ordered: "Bring me some drinks." ”

In the final analysis, Ding Ruoyan certainly knows that for a company of the size of Runhua Industry, it is not impossible to have a plane of its own, not to mention that in addition to himself, no one knows that this luxury business jet converted with a Boeing 737-300 civil airliner and owned by the business jet management company under Lufthansa Airlines actually belongs to Runhua Industry, so procedurally speaking, this aircraft was leased by Runhua Industry from the Germans, based on this, At most, everyone can only say that Runhua Industry is really willing to spend money, in order to support the façade, actually rented such a luxurious plane, but no one has any special ideas because of this - from this point of view, after the completion of the modification of this aircraft, it is really a very knowing decision to hand over this aircraft to Lufthansa's business jet operating company to operate.

The elegant German stewardess who was waiting on the side immediately asked softly, "Dear lady, what do you need?" ”

"Water is good," After speaking, Ding Ruoyan finally became rare and serious: "Since this plane belongs to Lufthansa, it belongs to Lufthansa." ”

Chen Geng bowed slightly: "I understand." ”

He understood what Ding Ruoyan meant, in this era when many domestic enterprises are unable to make ends meet, if Runhua Industry is so extravagant that it buys a Boeing 737 as a private jet, the news spreads, public opinion may not necessarily be in an uproar, what extravagance, Jiuchi Meat Forest and other evaluations are designated to fall on the heads of Chen Geng and Runhua Industry, the whole country is absolutely scolded, everyone doesn't care where the money for Runhua Industry to buy this plane comes from, in short, it is not right to buy a plane, I don't know if the people in the west are still eating grass -- to put it bluntly, it's pink eye, and the thoughts in the hearts of these people are probably like this: You have enough money to buy a plane, why don't you donate the money to me?!

Seeing that Chen Geng really understood what he meant, Ding Ruoyan whispered to Chen Geng: "Don't think about it, I'm just ......"

"I understand, these days, there are many people with pink eye, it's always right to be careful," Before Ding Ruoyan finished speaking, Chen Geng smiled and said: "Tell me about the information on the main members of the presidential palace and the main members of the cabinet that you have compiled in the past few days, we can also be targeted." ”
