"Why?" Wolfgang Meidong is unconvinced: "MBB believes that 3+2 is more attractive to passengers to choose our products......"

"I'll tell you why," pointing to the seat in front of him, Chen Geng said: "Take MPC-75-100 as an example, the standard 2-level cabin layout, the 3+3 seat layout can arrange 15 more seats than the 3+2 layout, which is equivalent to selling 15 more tickets in the case of extremely limited fuel consumption, how much profit can these 15 seats bring me in a year?" If it's an all-economy layout, I can arrange 21 more seats, how much profit can these 21 seats bring me in a year? You always say that you think from the customer's point of view and do your best to think about the customer, and now you tell me, are you thinking from the customer's point of view, or are you thinking from the customer's point of view? ”

"Uh......" Wolfgang Meidong was speechless. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

How much can an additional 15 chairs be arranged in a typical Class 2 cabin layout and increase the operating costs for the airline in operation? The maintenance cost is almost none, the only extra is the fuel cost, but the extra 15 chairs and 15 people, together with the corresponding oxygen masks and other emergency life-sustaining equipment, the ticket cost of up to 2 chairs is equivalent to the airline earning 13 more passengers on a flight. This is still a typical 2-class cabin layout, and if it is an all-economy layout, it will earn more.

With such an obvious contrast, will airlines choose 3+3 or 3+2, does this question need to be said?

"As for the narrowing of the seat," Chen Geng pointed to himself and said with a smile: "Don't forget, the main market for MPC-75 is China, and our Chinese are generally short and thin compared to Europeans and Americans. ”

Wolfgang Meidong looked at Chen Geng, and then looked at the other members of the Chinese delegation, Chen Geng, who is more than one meter and eight meters, stands out in a group of Chinese with an average height of less than one meter seven, and it is indeed as Chen Geng said, the Chinese are thin, no, no, no, they are no longer thin, compared to European and American countries where fat people of more than 200 pounds walk everywhere, it seems that there are not many Chinese who weigh more than 130.

If the main target is the Chinese market, with the body characteristics of Asians, it seems that it is indeed no problem to design the seat a little narrower, Wolfgang Meidon's mind immediately turned, and then he immediately moved:

The seat layout has changed from 3+2 to 3+3, not to mention that there is an extra row of seats, in the case of MPC-75-100 typical two-class cabin layout, the maximum passenger capacity instantly rises from 82 to 97 people, and the first-class high-density all-economy class layout is increased from 104 to 125 people;

If it is MPC-75-200, it is even more exaggerated, with the maximum capacity of a typical second-class cabin layout increased from 107 to 126 passengers, and the first-class high-density all-economy class layout increased from 134 to 161 passengers......

Nima!

Wolfgang Meidong was so excited that he wanted to explode foul language: This is more than the maximum passenger capacity of the 737-400 in the Boeing 737 series, and then the MPC-75 can completely throw away the hat of its "quasi-mainline" aircraft and say that it is a standard mainline aircraft.

"Chen, you're right, it's true that we didn't think about it enough," Wolfgang Meidong decisively abandoned the Germans' insistence in the face of interests, and said without hesitation: "When I go back, I will suggest to the board of directors that the MPC-75 issue two seat layouts, 3+2 and 3+3, and immediately start the relevant data calculations and experiments." ”

"That's right."

Thinking of his business jet, Chen Geng's heart moved: With such a large fuselage space, why not try to develop the market for super-large business jets? Well, this proposal should be put forward as a derivative of the MPC-75 after the cooperation agreement between the two sides is formally signed.

In addition, the development of Runhua Industry to the present, the demand for data computing is also increasing, and the general server has gradually been unable to meet the needs of data computing, is it necessary to purchase a supercomputer?

………………………………

"What do you say? Do you want to add a supercomputer to your company? Chen Geng's words startled Lin Shuyao: "You're not kidding, are you? ”

"What do you think?" Chen Geng asked rhetorically.

That's no joke, Chen Dong is discussing this issue with himself very seriously, but ...... That's a supercomputer!

First of all, with the continuous expansion of the scale of the entire Runhua Industrial Group, the demand for data computing in the entire R&D system is increasing, and it is indeed necessary to launch a computer system with more powerful computing performance; Secondly, if Runhua Industrial has a supercomputer of its own, it can also play a very active role in attracting various scientific research institutes, research institutions and even high-level universities to cooperate with Runhua Industry, after all, there is only one supercomputer Galaxy I in the whole of China.

Galaxy I supercomputer?

Lin Shuyao's eyes flashed, and he asked tentatively: "Boss, are you planning to buy a 'galaxy' computer?" ”

"The 'Galaxy' supercomputer was built with the technology of the early 80s, and now that it is the 90s, I hope that our supercomputer will be more powerful...... Well, at least 500 million floating-point operations per second, right? ”

The highest floating-point operation speed of the Galaxy II supercomputer launched in 92 was 1 billion times per second, and Chen Geng felt that his requirement of 500 million times per second was not high.

But Lin Shuyao's whole person was scared silly: "5...... per second 5…… 5…… 500 million times? ”

Chen Geng smacked his lips: "It would be better if it could reach 1 billion times per second." ”

“……”

Lin Shuyao was already shocked and couldn't speak directly: the maximum floating point operation speed of 100 million times per second of the Galaxy 1 supercomputer already made her feel shocked, and Chen Dong was not satisfied with the supercomputer of 500 million times per second, and wanted 1 billion times per second?

He's just crazy!

Chen Geng was embarrassed to say that at the beginning of the 21st century, the design and R&D department of Wolfsburg had already begun to use a supercomputer with a maximum speed of 80 billion floating point operations per second, and the speed of 500 million operations per second was actually a bit unsightly.

"Not only in automotive products, but also in airplanes, there are more places where supercomputers are needed," Chen Geng said, and couldn't help frowning: "But the problem now is that I don't know if this order is good or not." ”

Is the order good or not?

After thinking about it, Lin Shuyao finally understood what Chen Geng meant: The research and development of the Galaxy I supercomputer is a national task, which represents the face of the country to a certain extent, but from 1983 to the present, it has been 7 years, and the National University of Defense Technology has not developed a follow-up model of the Galaxy, is there any problem here? For example, the cost remains high and so on, and there is another point, that is, does the state allow enterprises to buy such advanced computers?

These questions have to be put with a question mark.

But in any case, after Chen Geng mentioned this, Lin Shuyao felt that Runhua Industry really needed to have its own supercomputer.

……………………

"What? Are you going to order a supercomputer from the National Defense Science and Technology Institute of Computers? Director Ma's eyes widened: "Or is it an improved version of the Galaxy I computer?" ”

"That's right."

"Why?" Director Ma was a little puzzled: "This thing is so expensive, at least tens of millions, can you use it?" ”

Do you think we bought such a thing just to look good there? Chen Geng explained with a smile: "For technology-based enterprises, supercomputers are very important and can play a very important role in the research and development of new products, greatly shortening the research and development time of new products, and playing a more important role in the research and development of aviation technology...... If you look at those large automobile manufacturing enterprises abroad, which one does not have its own supercomputer? ”

"That's ......"

Director Ma doesn't know if what Chen Geng said is true, but I think Chen Geng may also tell a lie about this kind of thing, and in the aerospace field, supercomputers are indeed very important, but even so, he is very embarrassed: "But I don't count it during this period, I can only report your meaning, as for whether the leaders can give you a preferential price, I can't be the master......

"You misunderstood," pointing to Director Ma as if he was about to tilt the building, Chen Geng hurriedly explained: "We are not sure if the National University of Defense Technology is willing to customize a supercomputer for us, if so, how much it should be...... By the way, in the field of aviation technology, we also want to cooperate with the National University of Defense Technology......"

"Understood," instead of asking for a preferential price from himself, Director Ma immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll report your meaning to the leaders and see what the leaders mean...... But Comrade Chen Geng, what is going on between you and MBB? ”

There is not something quite right between Runhua Industry and MBB, and Director Wang has long wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Chen Geng about this issue.

"It's nothing, MBB feels that this project has been launched, so it plans to overturn some previous agreements," Chen Geng smiled indifferently: "We just let them understand that we Chinese are not so good at pitting." ”

"I see, what do I say......" Director Ma nodded with relief, paused, and said with some anxiety: "It won't cause any bad effects, right?" ”

"Rest assured, there will be no problem." (To be continued.) )
