MBB's directors wanted to meet with Chen Geng and communicate about how to go next, but helplessly, after arriving in Germany, Chen Geng went non-stop, either to meet with his old buddy, or to BMW, a behemoth that no one dared to underestimate in Germany, and even heard that even the Japanese had come to the door, and when they finally had the opportunity to meet Chen Geng, it was already the morning of the third day of Chen Geng's arrival in Germany.

"Mr. Wolfgang, have you had breakfast?" Chen Geng warmly greeted Wolfgang Meidong, who appeared in front of him as a special representative: "It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, let's eat some together?" ”

When is this time and you still have the heart to have breakfast?! Wolfgang Meidong resisted the thought of complaining, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Thank you, I have eaten." ”

"Oh, okay then," Chen Geng nodded: "Then let's talk while eating?" ”

I said I've already eaten it...... Thinking so in his heart, Wolfgang Meidong nodded involuntarily: "That...... Well, I'll have a glass of juice. ”

There is no way, now the situation is stronger than people, whether MBB will be swallowed by Daimler's group of bastards, or continue to exist as a company with a glorious history, it all depends on the meaning of this guy in front of him who is much smaller than himself.

Chen Geng's appetite was very good, he took two fried eggs, three meat sausages and a dazzling array of other kinds of food alone, a lot of them, looking at a lot of things in front of Chen Geng's eyes, Wolfgang Meidong was dumbfounded:, are you a pig?

Looking at Wolfgang Meidong's stunned appearance, Chen Geng smiled and said, "I insist on practicing martial arts every day, and the consumption of my body is relatively large, so I ......"

"Bruce Lee? ChineseKongfu？ Without waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking, Wolfgang Meidong asked curiously, in the entire European world, kung fu is equivalent to Bruce Lee.

"Almost," Chen Geng said vaguely while eating: "But the kung fu I practice is not the same as Bruce Lee's kung fu, of course, I am definitely not Bruce Lee's opponent, ha......"

Wolfgang Meidong didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Geng's words, in the eyes of foreigners, Bruce Lee represents the NO.1 of ChineseKongfu, if a guy dares to say that his kung fu surpasses Bruce Lee, it must be trying to step on Bruce Lee's reputation to fight for a position - anyway, people are dead, no matter how hard you blow it, no matter how worthless Bruce Lee is, he can't push the coffin board to fight with you, right?

When Wolfgang Meidong was pondering how to open the topic, Chen Geng spoke first, and he directly used a more affectionate title: "Wolf, do you know?" Argentine customs is ready to tender for the purchase of several patrol aircraft with a certain armed force and long endurance capabilities, as well as low-cost patrol aircraft for maritime patrols and anti-smuggling, and if nothing else, our company's aircraft should win the bid. ”

That plane of Runhua Industrial? It took a lot of effort for Wolfgang Meidong to remember which aircraft Chen Geng was talking about: the one copied on the basis of the retired A-1H carrier-based attack aircraft of the US Navy. Knowing which plane it was, Wolfgang Meidon's first reaction was to scoff: that old plane can also be used as a patrol plane?

First of all, the control system of this aircraft is extremely simple, not to mention the popular three-redundancy digital fly-by-wire flight control system and the more advanced four-redundancy digital fly-by-wire flight control system, even the relatively old analog fly-by-wire flight control system is not, it is the old-fashioned mechanical-hydraulic flight control system, but this ancient flight control system also means extremely low cost, for a patrol aircraft, This kind of flight control system, which is definitely not advanced, but is already extremely reliable, is sufficient;

Secondly, as an aircraft with a propeller engine, although it does not fly fast enough, but as a patrol aircraft for customs, the characteristics of low speed and minimum stable flight speed have become his advantages, and compared with jet aircraft, the biggest advantage of propeller aircraft is fuel economy, it is said that the US A-1H carrier-based attack aircraft can reach more than 10 hours of continuous flight, for a patrol aircraft, this performance has been seriously excessive......

It's just that Wolfgang Meidong doesn't understand, Chen Geng didn't tell himself about MPC-75, why did he suddenly mention this?

"I think the potential of this aircraft is far from being developed," Chen Geng's expression was serious, looking at Wolfgang Meidong: "I hope to be able to tap all the potential of this aircraft together with MBB." ”

Wolfgang Meidong blinked: "Chen, with all due respect, I don't think this aircraft can be used for anything other than as a patrol aircraft. ”

"How can there be no other use?" Chen Geng smiled: "First of all, even as a patrol aircraft, we can open up a large market, and the customs, anti-smuggling departments, agriculture, and fishery departments of various countries are our potential customers;

In addition, since Brazil's EMB-314 'Tucano' trainer/light attack aircraft can be liked by customers, it shows that this low-speed combat aircraft still has its market under low-intensity combat conditions, in terms of carrying performance, firepower, protection, endurance These key indicators, our aircraft is much stronger than the Brazilian bird;

And as far as I know, in the sequence of the US Navy, the A-1 once had a special model, that is, a passenger compartment was added, and the rear passenger compartment could carry 8 people, imagine that this is an aircraft that can accommodate 10 people at the same time, for some departments with special needs, this performance is also very attractive, right? ”

Wolfgang Meidong blinked, indeed, a plane that can only take one person for 10 hours is very different from an airplane that can take eight people for 10 hours, and it is very different for the appeal of government functions.

"In addition, because this aircraft is all produced by ourselves, it has a much greater cost advantage than all other aircraft," Chen Geng raised a finger as he said: "Guess how much this aircraft will cost when two 23mm aviation cannons are installed?" ”

"How much?" Wolfgang Meidong's interest came all of a sudden, if it is really like what Chen Geng said, this aircraft has a much more powerful cost advantage than other aircraft...... Tut! It seems like it can be done for a while.

"Less than $500,000."

"How is that possible?!" Wolfgang Medon was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.

"But that's exactly what it is." Chen Geng said proudly.

He was embarrassed to tell Wolfgang Meidong, not only is it less than 500,000 US dollars, but in fact it is less than 400,000 US dollars, and if it is calculated in RMB, it is just over 3 million. And because the technical content of this aircraft is too low and there is no high-tech equipment, all aviation instruments and electronic systems can be provided by units in the domestic aviation industry system, which is so cheap that it is simply infinite.

With a certain amount of armament, the cost is less than $500,000? Wolfgang Meidong was suddenly excited, he knew the strength of the US Navy's A-1H "Sky Raider" attack aircraft, after installing a large amount of armor, this fuselage structure is extremely redundant, the skin is surprisingly thick, and it still has the ability to carry more than 4.5 tons of weapons and ammunition with a full tank of fuel, even if the fuselage results are not adjusted in any way, just remove those armor and the three huge speed brakes, and it is not a problem to free up 1 ton of weight.

For an airplane, weight is range. Weight is load, weight is life, although it can no longer fight, but in the sea patrol, border patrol, anti-smuggling and anti-narcotics @, forestry and fishery patrol, pesticide dissemination and even low-intensity operations have a lot of room to play.

"We have made calculations, conservative estimates, this aircraft can also sell more than 200 aircraft around the world, optimistic generation, sell more than 400 is not without opportunities," Chen Geng continued: "The profit from buying the aircraft, the profit from installing various types of equipment, and the profit from follow-up maintenance...... If this aircraft is properly operated, it will be able to contribute more than $30 million in profits to us a year. ”

Wolfgang Meidong's heart was suddenly moved, he hesitated, uncertain, expectant and a little incredulous, and asked Chen Geng, "So...... Chen, what do you mean ......"

A profit of more than 30 million US dollars a year, for Boeing, Airbus, Grumman, Northrop, General Electric and other aviation giants, they may not pay attention to it, but for many small companies, relying on this business, it is enough for them to live incomparably nourishing for decades, for example, the DC-3/C-47 transport aircraft that the Americans engaged in during World War II, which has been out of production for more than half a century, but there is a company that relies on the modification of this aircraft to live extremely moisturizing. Even after more than 20 years, they are still alive and well, and even our country's Antarctic expedition team has to order planes from them, and even in the foreseeable next two or three decades, they can still live happily with this aircraft that has been out of production for 100 years.

For MBB, this annual profit level is enough to salivate wildly, and to put it mildly, even in Europe and the United States, this profit level has exceeded 99.9% of enterprises - it is really easy to make money.

Chen Geng said: "I can take out this aircraft as our cooperation project, MBB with your rich experience in aircraft, according to the needs of different customers to develop different improved models, profit sharing." ”

Wolfgang Meidong was suddenly excited: "Chen, thank you, thank you......"

It is conservatively estimated that it is also a profit of tens of millions a year, how can Wolfgang Meidong not be excited? If the piston star engine produced by Runhua Industrial on this plane was replaced with a turboprop engine of the same power but lighter and more fuel-efficient produced by Pratt Whitney Canada, the profit margin would be even greater......

"You're welcome, we're friends," Chen Geng finally showed his fox tail: "In addition, I think so about the current problems encountered by the MPC-75......

Halfway through his words, Chen Geng paused slightly.

Wolfgang Meidong subconsciously leaned forward: Speaking of which, MPC-75 is the focus of today's meeting, and as for the A-1 imitated by Runhua Industry, it is just an appetizing dessert.

"First of all, I need to make it clear what you mean, MBB doesn't want to be merged into Deutsche Einaut, right?" Chen Geng asked.

"Of course," said Wolfgang Meidon without thinking, "no company wants to be bought by someone else, but the problem now is that the current government is pressuring us with very shady means, and these damn bastards threaten us with refusing to give us a loan......"

"OK, I understand," Chen Geng nodded, met Wolfgang Meidong's expectant gaze, and said solemnly word by word: "I can find a way to solve the funds needed for the follow-up development of MPC-75, but I have a few conditions. ”

"You say!" Wolfgang Medon said without hesitation.

As long as MBB can remain independent and develop MPC-75 at the same time, MBB's shareholders will not hesitate to make a deal with the devil.

Chen Geng: "First, in the future, all of MBB's aviation business, whether it is the development of new aircraft, or anything else, in a word, anything related to being able to fly, can only be produced and developed by our joint venture company: MPC, and MBB only exists as a shareholding parent company. ”

Wolfgang Meidong frowned, did not agree, did not refuse, but said: "What else? ”

"Second, I know that MBB is secretly developing a multi-purpose fighter for the 21st century...... Don't look at me like that, and don't ask me how I know...... I want your full set of information," leaned back, looked at Wolfgang Meidong, and Chen Geng said softly: "On these two conditions, if MBB agrees to our conditions, the funds required for the development of MPC-75 and subsequent models, we Runhua Industrial will bear it, well, the term is the next 5 years." ”

As for why it is in the next 5 years and not other time periods, this is also very simple, after 5 years, MPC-75 can receive orders, and then develop the follow-up model, of course, there is no reason for Runhua Industry to continue to pay.
