Chen Geng knew that the above attached great importance to the normalization of relations with the Soviet Union, and attached great importance to the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations as a "strategic-level" focus of diplomatic work in recent years, but he still did not expect that the above would be so eager to normalize Sino-Soviet relations: on the third day after he told the embassy that the Likhachev Automobile Factory intended to go to China with the Runhua Industrial delegation and visit and inspect Runhua Industrial, that is, the penultimate day of Chen Geng's return trip. News came from the embassy: comrades from the Likhachev Automobile Factory are welcome to visit Runhua Industry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But there's not enough time, what should I do?

Chen Geng once again saw the determination of China and the Soviet Union to promote the normalization of bilateral relations: the Soviet side communicated with the Chinese side as quickly as possible, and then extended the visa time for Chen Geng and others for five days, in the name of inviting the comrades of Runhua Industry to visit Moscow at the Likhachev Automobile Factory;

Subsequently...... Well, then there was actually nothing to do with Chen Geng, and the work of the Runhua Industrial group down the street was accompanied by people from the Likhachev Automobile Factory - of course, there may also be KGB people - to hang out in various attractions in Moscow, anyway, when the visa expired again, Chen Geng and others had already boarded a Tu-154M charter plane specially provided by the Soviet government for personnel from both sides.

"It's still comfortable to charter a plane," Lin Shuyao, who was sitting next to Chen Geng, whispered: "Last year, you said that you wanted to get a business jet, why hasn't there been any movement yet?" ”

"Uh...... I forgot, do you remember? Chen Geng was a little embarrassed, when he went to Frankfurt to participate in the auto show last year, he was stimulated by Jindler, who was showing off his wealth, and decided to also get a Boeing 737 trunk airliner to be converted as a business jet, but he was busy like a dog all day, and after a long time, Chen Geng forgot about it.

"Do you think I can forget?" Looking at the tu-154m, which only has more than 50 seats in total and a special conference room, Lin Shuyao asked in a low voice: "This plane is not the same as ordinary passenger planes, the space is too big." ”

Chen Geng nodded and said: "Tu-154M is an aircraft about the same size as Boeing 737, this Tu-154M has been modified, you guys, look at the first-class seat layout, it should be the Soviet government to serve the large state-owned enterprises of the Soviet Union, what, do you like it?" ”

"Of course I like it," Lin Shuyao didn't hide her emotions, and said, "But such a plane should be very expensive, right?" Not to mention the money to buy an airplane, it is just the annual fuel burned, maintenance, crew and airport usage fees...... All of this adds up to an astronomical sum in a year. ”

That's really an astronomical amount, Chen Geng didn't calculate it in detail, but even if it is the price level of 1988, calculated with an average of 2 times a month, the annual use cost is at least three or four million, and three or four million in 1988, which is a huge amount of money, not to mention how troublesome the route application is.

"Who said that? In fact, if it works well, not only does an aircraft not cost money, but it can also make some money every year. ”

"So you want such a good thing?" Lin Shuyao shook his head and resolutely disagreed: "Don't bully me for not understanding, I have specifically learned about this, even if I don't buy a new plane, get a second-hand one, and carry out a thorough overhaul after I buy it, and then the modification cost and use cost ...... Counting the depreciation of the aircraft, there is no big millions in the whole year, don't even think about it. ”

Speaking of this, thinking that millions of dollars would be burned to ashes every year, Lin Shuyao was really a little distressed: "Alas, if you calculate it this way, this plane really can't be bought, who can afford it in ordinary units?" ”

Chen Geng looked at Lin Shuyao with a smile and said, "Didn't you consider renting the plane to someone else?" ”

"Rent it to someone else? Rent it out? Lin Shuyao was stunned: "Can it still be like this?" ”

Chen Geng: "This is a very common way to reduce costs for foreign business jets and private jets, and lease the aircraft to others when you don't use it. Well, there is even a kind of special aircraft leasing company abroad, and the aircraft under these companies are private and business jets of various configurations and sizes, and their customers are those big enterprises, big groups, big conglomerates, celebrities, political celebrities...... These people actually earn a lot every year. ”

"If that's the case......" Lin Shuyao frowned and whispered, thoughtful.

………………………………

Needless to say, after the plane arrived at the Capital International Airport, since the comrades of the Likhachev Automobile Factory - who knows how many people in this so-called Likhachev Automobile Factory visiting group are from the Likhachev Automobile Factory? ——The work of going to Runhua Industrial for inspection was only incidental and used to fool others, and Chen Geng consciously didn't make do with it: didn't you see so many leaders waiting there?

Sure enough, the leaders were very satisfied with Comrade Chen Geng's knowledge, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent someone to say hello to Chen Geng, which meant that when they heard that the comrades of the Likhachev Automobile Factory were coming, the comrades of the FAW and some of the old comrades and leaders who participated in the construction of the FAW were very excited and wanted to chat with the comrades of the Likhachev Automobile Factory and reminisce about the old ......

In short, the central meaning of these words is one: the comrades of the Likhachev Automobile Factory will stay in the capital for a few days, and they will do whatever they like without you Chen Geng, as long as they don't dangle in front of their eyes.

When I like to dangle in front of your eyes, huh? Chen Geng was so angry: They all said that the daughter-in-law married into the room, and the matchmaker threw it over the wall, and the daughter-in-law didn't marry into the room yet, so she planned to kick me out of the way? Forget it, you're amazing, can I stay away?

As soon as he returned to the company, Liu Changming brought a good news to Chen Geng: "Chairman Chen, Wärtsilä has sent us a message back, saying that it agrees in principle to negotiate with us on the introduction of technology. ”

"So fast?" Chen Geng was instantly shocked: "How could it be so fast?" ”

"I don't know, maybe Wärtsilä has taken a fancy to China's fast-growing economy and intends to enter the mainland, and we happen to show up?" Liu Changming made his own prediction: "This is a fax from them, you can take a look." ”

Really!

The fax made it very clear that Wärtsilä was very interested in cooperating with Runhua Industry in the field of power systems, and hoped that Runhua Industry would organize a visiting team to visit Wärtsilä at the right time - this is Wärtsilä's invitation to Runhua Industry: You come to me to see, what do you like, let's talk about it specifically.

"This is a very good signal," although Chen Geng was very surprised, he was more happy, and said happily to Liu Changming: "Lao Liu, you put forward the idea of cooperating with Wärtsilä, and the other party also said that whether it is technology licensing or licensed production, these can be discussed, so I decided to leave this negotiation to you to operate, how about it, do you have the confidence to pick up this burden?" ”

"I'm coming?" Liu Changming pointed at himself in disbelief.

"That's right, it's you, what's the matter, no confidence?"

"Not really, but ...... It's just ......" Liu Changming, who never thought that he would preside over such a negotiation activity, was dizzy: "But I used to mainly do technical work, and I was not good at negotiation." ”

Looking at Liu Changming, who was embarrassed, Chen Gengdeng smiled: "How can you let you talk alone?" What do the negotiators that the company raises? What I mean is that you draw up the main framework of this cooperation, organize the negotiation team, and as long as the cooperation framework you give is approved by the board of directors of the company, the rest is up to you, and the company will not interfere. Of course, there is still a need for the necessary means of supervision. ”

"That's ......"

Liu Changming's face was entangled at first, and slowly, anticipation and longing gradually took over: "If the company believes me, then ...... I want to try. ”

As for the company's corresponding regulatory measures, Liu Changming didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all: how could the company just leave it alone and toss it to himself for such a big matter?

It's just that Runhua Industry was busy cooperating with Wärtsilä, and the people who visited the Likhachev Automobile Factory were shocked, and the deputy head of the delegation, Krestinsky, asked Chen Geng in disbelief: "Chen, do you have cooperation with Wärtsilä?!" ”

Wärtsilä, the world's leading provider of ship power and energy systems, even Soviet companies, when looking at a super power giant like Wärtsilä, they can't help but have admiration and envy, how can such a super giant look at a small minion like Runhua Industry?

Krestinsky found it simply incomprehensible.

"It's not that there is cooperation, it's that cooperation is about to be established," Krestinsky's expression made Chen Geng extremely unhappy: What do you mean? Chen Geng, who has never been in the habit of suffering, said casually: "Our company has a shipyard with a lot of demand for power systems, so I contacted Wärtsilä, but I didn't expect the other party's response to be very positive, saying that these things can be discussed." ”

Runhua Industrial even has a shipyard?!

Krestinsky, as well as the comrades of the entire Likhachev Automobile Plant, felt that their brains were not enough: motorcycles, cars, powertrains, shipbuilding...... How many industries does this Runhua Industry have?

Although I don't know how big the shipyard of Runhua Industrial is, just referring to the scale of Runhua Industrial's automobile manufacturing and motorcycle manufacturing, I can roughly guess that this shipyard will not be too small - at least it must be a medium-sized shipbuilding enterprise, right?

That's amazing!

Not to mention the Likhachev Automobile Plant, there is not a single company in the entire Soviet Union that spans such a large degree of industry and can do well in every industry at the same time.

Krestinsky felt that this trip to Runhua Industry had once again refreshed his understanding of Chinese enterprises, Chinese industry and China's reform and opening up policy, and now he could understand why the Central Committee of the Soviet Union wanted to have good relations with China: the country's development potential and speed were impossible for the great Soviets to ignore!
