It was a crucial day for Runhua Industrial, for the military, and even for the MPC-75 project: the vice minister in charge of the aviation industry, who had always supported the Feimai Dao-82, had to make the final decision on the MPC-75 project. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Previously, after communication between Chen Geng and MBB, the two sides had reached an agreement on the conversion of the MPC-75 aircraft into a military aircraft: the avionics system and engine provided by the German side must not be used for military purposes!

In this remark of the German side, a back door was left for the Chinese, and this sentence was understood in turn, that is, the fuselage of the MPC-75 could be used by the military for military purposes, but it was necessary to install our Chinese's own avionics systems and engines. Having said that, if the MPC-75 is really changed to a special military platform, even if the German side allows us to use the avionics system and engine, we will not dare to use it, and what if the eavesdropping system is installed in it? What if there is a backdoor in the electronic system?

We can't afford to take this risk!

We have our own avionics system, if Runhua Industry successfully introduced engines from the Soviet Union, we will also have our own high-thrust aero engines, and what we need is actually just the MPC-75 airframe.

It is precisely because of this that the two veteran commanders of our army, who have only the last remaining achievements and are highly respected, personally made speeches, expressing the hope that the MPC-75 project will continue smoothly, and that the MPC-75 project is of great significance to the development of China's civil aviation industry -- in fact, it is of great significance to the military.

"Do you plan to do this project on your own without relying on state support?" At this moment, the vice minister's face is not very good-looking, he has always been a staunch supporter of the McDonnell Douglas-82 project, but he did not expect that the MPC-75 had already been buried in the soil and was almost nailed to the coffin board.

According to the vice minister's idea, of course, the whole country should make the effort to develop the McDonnell Douglas 82 project, but the two remaining veteran commanders in the military have spoken out and expressed the hope that the government will seriously consider the MPC-75 aircraft. The qualifications of the two veterans are much higher than those of the deputy prime minister, and no matter how unhappy he is in his heart, he can only dig the MPC-75 out of the grave and see the sun.

"Report chief, yes." Chen Gengdao.

"Very good, very good," the deputy minister's face became more and more ugly: "Your plan is to set up an airline by yourself and digest the production capacity by yourself first, right?" This is a good idea, but the McDonnell Douglas-82 is a mainline aircraft project that is a key national support, so how do you ensure that the MPC-75 will not have an impact on McDonnell Douglas-82? ”

This question was also asked by Mao Donghai, thinking of Mao Donghai's stunned appearance when he heard his own idea, Chen Geng smiled secretly in his heart, and said: "We can promise that in the next 10 years, MPC-75 will not be sold to other domestic airlines other than us." ”

"Won't sell to domestic airlines?" Even if the deputy phase is high and powerful, and he has seen a lot of guys who are ruined and plan to fight against the water, Chen Geng's guts and courage still surprised him: "Are you sure? ”

"Yes, for sure." Chen Geng nodded affirmatively again.

Crazy, this is really crazy, staring at Chen Geng speechlessly.

Mao Donghai's mind remembered what Chen Genghe had said when the two of them talked about this issue that day......

"Simple, aren't you afraid that we will have an impact on McDonnell Douglas-82? We promise not to sell the MPC-75 to other airlines for some time to come. Chen Geng's tone was full of indifference.

"Don't sell to other domestic airlines?" Mao Donghai's eyes were about to pop out: "Then who will we sell the planes we produced to?" ”

"It's a period of time, let's say 10 years," Chen Geng explained to Mao Donghai: "According to the original plan of the MPC-75 project, the first MPC-75 didn't roll off the assembly line until 1995, right?" ”

"yes, what's wrong with that?" Mao Donghai frowned, he felt that he seemed to understand Chen Geng's thoughts a little.

"Of course, this is no problem, but the problem is that the MPC-75 has dragged on for so long, and it will definitely not be able to get off the line in 1995, right?"

"Well......" Mao Donghai nodded reluctantly: after so long in the middle, it must not be able to go offline as scheduled, and Mao Donghai feels that the most optimistic situation will be until the end of 1996.

"That's it, let's extend the progress of the project a little, it is estimated that the first MPC-75 will be rolled off the assembly line by the end of 1997 or the beginning of 1998, and the airworthiness certification process will be ......completed." ”

"!" Mao Donghai reacted at this time: "You kid is too ghostly, in the past 10 years, even if there are domestic airlines that want to buy our flights, we don't have planes to sell them!" ”

Chen Geng smiled and nodded.

Seeing Chen Geng face the deputy with the same smiling face, Mao Donghai suddenly realized that this face was so similar to a fox?

……………………

The deputy minister didn't know Chen Geng's abacus, and after a long time, the deputy minister nodded slowly: "If that's the case...... Well, yes, but since you want to set up an airline, then you have to set a substantial example for our own large aircraft, and if you promise to accept at least two McDonnell Douglas-82 planes a year, I will agree to hand over the MPC-75 project to you, and you will be responsible for your own profits and losses, and the state will also make some preferences and support to you in terms of policy. ”

No one expected that the vice minister would put forward such a condition, including Mao Donghai, general manager of Xifei, who came to attend the meeting with Chen Geng, representatives of the China Aviation Technology Corporation, and the military, and everyone instantly became nervous, and looked at Chen Geng without blinking: The price of one McDonnell Douglas-82 is $21.5 million, and the price of two planes is $43 million...... Will it work?

Shangfei is really the son of the deputy prime minister, and Lao Tzu thinks about his son to this extent, right? For this condition of the deputy minister, Chen Geng can only sigh with such feelings.

If he hadn't known that a total of 37 McDonnell Douglas-82 and later McDonnell Douglas-90 had been produced, and more than 10 had already been sold, Chen Geng would really not have dared to agree to this request, but now, of course, Chen Geng would not have cared, and he was sure that there would not be more than four McDonnell Douglas-82 planes in his hands.

"Of course there is no problem, McDonnell Douglas-82 is of great significance to our country, and we must support it," under the nervous gaze of everyone, in the slightly playful gaze of the deputy minister, Chen Geng thought for a while, and happily agreed: "But we have a few small requests. ”

After speaking, I handed you a reassuring look, so that everyone could rest assured, and I would explain it to you when I turned around.

The deputy minister didn't expect Chen Geng to be so happy, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What is the request?" You said. ”

"First, in terms of price, we can understand that Shanghai Airlines can't reduce costs through scale advantages now, but the purchase price cannot be higher than 10% of the purchase from the United States, of course, if the price sold to other airlines is the same price as McDonnell Douglas in the United States, we also want the same price."

That is, it can be purchased at up to 110% of the price? The deputy minister originally thought that Chen Geng was going to lower the price, but he didn't expect him to say that he could go up to 110% of the height? The deputy minister was stunned for a moment again, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, I agreed to this, and thank you for your support to the aviation industry, what is the second requirement?" ”

After the first one, Chen Geng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Second, our company has just been established, and the funds and strength are insufficient, so can we rank our purchase order last?" ”

Behind the platoon? Oh, now it's 6 civil aviation companies, and this one for the army is the seventh, that is, they will only buy it if the first 6 buy it. This request is not excessive, the first 6 airlines are all established for many years of veteran airlines, the strength is strong, let them buy first can also say the past, a little hesitation, the vice minister affirmed again: "Okay, I also agreed to this, is there any?" ”

"Also," Chen Geng said again: "This condition has to set a time limit," After speaking, without waiting for the deputy minister to speak, Chen Geng immediately continued: "Shangfei is an enterprise, after all, it still has to rely on its own ability to participate in market competition, the country can give them some support in the early stage of Shangfei's development, but it can't always rely on everyone's help to walk...... If we can't walk on our own after many years of development, what contribution can such an enterprise make to our aviation industry? ”

Tut!

As soon as Chen Geng's words came out, not only the comrades of the military nodded again and again, but the deputy minister had nothing to say: Yes, in the early stage of the development of an enterprise, you asked everyone to support them, this is also said in the past, but if you have been relying on everyone's support, what is it called? Such an enterprise is called the mud that can't support the wall, and it will collapse if it collapses, not to mention that Runhua Industry is also going to make an airplane, and there is no reason to support competitors all the time.

Chen Geng's reason was too strong, and the deputy minister was not easy to object, so after thinking about it, he said, "Then you say, how long will it take?" ”

"5 years!" Chen Geng said without hesitation: "This means that Runhua Industry will purchase 10 planes from Shangfei, which is more than 200 million US dollars, and I think this support is enough." ”

Representatives of the military and the military-industrial system nodded again and again: they also felt that five years was enough, and some even felt that five years was too long, and if it was two or three years, it would be fine.

"Good! That's it. "The vice-minister is overjoyed!

He felt that he had made a lot of money by winning a five-year buyout period for Shangfei, and at the same time, he also felt in his heart that if Shangfei had to test his own support before he could sell the plane after five years, it would be too muddy to support the wall - my dignified deputy face is so worthless?
