Chapter 684: Backtracking
Although they had come to Germany to negotiate with MBB, the Germans deliberately adjusted the time of the negotiations to two days later, on the grounds that the Chinese friends had just gone through a difficult negotiation in the Soviet Union and needed to take a break.

This reason is very strong and very intimate, although he knows that this is a ploy of the Germans, but Chen Geng still laughs and accepts, he can't always appear too urgent and give the Germans the impression that he is very anxious, right? And in the past 10 days and the battle of wits and courage with Lao Maozi, Chen Geng is really exhausted, the Germans give themselves a time to rest, and they just take this opportunity to rest their brains...... Well, if this meeting can come up with a satisfactory result, a certificate of merit should be given to the intimate MBB company.
Wolfgang Meidong poured Chen Geng a glass of champagne and asked casually: "Mr. Chen, congratulations, according to your mood, it seems that you have a good harvest in the Soviet Union?" ”
"It's really good," Chen Geng nodded.
After settling in the hotel, Wolfgang Meidong invited himself to his house as a guest, although he knew that this was the German wanted to take this opportunity to touch his bottom, but Chen Geng still did not hesitate to come, the Germans wanted to take this opportunity to touch their own bottom, why can't he take this opportunity to put a smoke bomb?
When Wolfgang Meidong asked about this, Chen Geng's face subconsciously flashed with a happy smile: "The Soviet Union is worthy of being the big brother of socialism and takes great care of us. ”
Socialist Big Brother?
Take great care of you guys?
Chen Geng was very happy, but Wolfgang Meidong's heart suddenly sank: things seemed to be in trouble. But he said with a little curiosity: "Oh? How so? ”
Chen Geng didn't sell it either: "Do you remember the purpose of our trip to the Soviet Union this time?" ”
"Yes," Wolfgang Meidong nodded, the last time Chen Geng came to Germany and everyone chatted in private, he had said that he went to the Soviet Union to introduce NK-8 or D-30K engines, and he asked tentatively: "It seems that you have made very good progress?" ”
"It is indeed very good that the Soviet side has agreed to sell us the technology of the full range of NK-8 engines of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, and has agreed to send engineers and technicians to guide us in production."
Chen Geng was very happy, but Wolfgang Meidong was like a lightning strike, and he was so angry that he almost exploded!
The Soviets actually agreed?!
How could they agree?!
Before this, MBB had not discussed this matter, but the best scenario they expected was just that "significant progress has been made on both sides", and they could deal with it calmly, and no one expected that the damn polar bear would sign a contract with Runhua Industrial so quickly.
These damn polar bears, are they crazy!
"This ...... This ......"
Excited and shocked, Wolfgang Maidon's facial muscles froze to the point that he could not utter even the most hypocritical "Congratulations."
Looking at Wolfgang Meidon's appearance, Chen Geng's heart was as cool as eating a popsicle on dog days: this is embarrassing, let you down: "This is very surprising, isn't it?" To be honest, we are also surprised, but considering the traditional friendship between China and the Soviet Union, and considering that the Soviet Union has unreservedly assisted us in 156 industrial projects, including aviation manufacturing and aero engines, and now that relations between the two countries have been normalized, I think it is understandable that the Soviet side has done so. ”
Understandable?
I can understand your sister!
Lao Tzu just can't understand it, do you know?!
Chen Geng didn't say this, but as soon as these words came out, Wolfgang Meidong felt that he was going crazy, thinking that in order to lure the Chinese to take the bait and promote the MPC-75 project to come back to life, MBB had to humiliately leave a back door in the contract that "the MPC-75 aircraft will never be allowed to be used for military purposes" but did not restrict the use of the white fuselage, because MBB did not think that the Chinese could obtain aircraft engine technology from the Soviet Union.
But at this moment, Wolfgang Meidong regretted that he was going crazy: the Chinese themselves have their own avionics technology, although their avionics technology is relatively backward, but after all, there is, and it can be used, and it is only the engine that restricts them from using the MPC-75 for military purposes, but now, all the plans of MBB have been destroyed!
The Soviets are absolutely insane!
Although he had already scolded the Soviets in his heart, Wolfgang Meidong still had to squeeze out a smile: "Yes, congratulations on ......"
"Yes, this is indeed very worthy of congratulations," Chen Geng secretly laughed in his heart when he looked at Wolfgang Meidong, who was smiling and extremely insincere: "By the way, let me explain to you first, the MPC-75 sold to our airlines in the future will only be equipped with NK-8 series engines." ”
Hearing Chen Geng's words, Wolfgang Mei Dongden became anxious, and subconsciously blurted out: "What about BR715?" ”
BR715 engine is the product of the cooperation between the German BMW company and the British Rolls-Royce Aero Engines, a large bypass ratio turbofan engine positioned in large regional aircraft and large luxury business aircraft, with a maximum thrust of 83.8KN, MPC-75 aircraft in the initial design of BR715, GMA3014, TFE742, M123 and other engines to choose from, but with the MPC-75 aircraft getting bigger and bigger, finally in line with the MPC-75 - The engine with 100 power requirements is the only one left, the BR715.
In line with the purpose of the BMW-Rolls-Royce company, which is also a German company, the MBB company has decided that the MPC-75 series aircraft will only use the products of the BMW-Rolls-Royce company, but now Chen Geng has actually got the NK-8 in his hands......
Wolfgang Meidong wants to scold his mother and miss the dog.
“br715?”
Chen Geng glanced at Wolfgang Meidong strangely, and seemed surprised why he mentioned this and that question: "Our customers want to give them BR715 if they want to carry BR715, and if they like NK-8, they will give them NK-8. ”
What's wrong with that?
Theoretically, of course, there is no problem, customers are free to choose what engine they want to choose for their aircraft, whether it is BR710, BR715 or BR725, or from NK-8-2 to NK-8-6, you don't care what engine the customer is willing to carry, as long as the customer is willing to pay.
But Wolfgang Meidon, or MBB, apparently did not think so, and shook his head vigorously: "No, no, no, no, it should be in our interest that all aircraft are equipped with BR710 series engines......"
"Mr. Meidong," Chen Geng knocked on the table to interrupt Wolfgang Meidong: "You may have forgotten, but I must solemnly remind you that there is a provision in the memorandum of cooperation we signed at the beginning, and we can choose engines according to our needs, including our own engines...... Did you forget, or is MBB ready not to comply with the memorandum we signed earlier? ”
The memorandum of understanding has no legal effect, but the memorandum is a key sign of the cooperation between the two parties to a certain point, so under normal circumstances, no one will suddenly overturn the content of the memorandum - of course, the general situation is the general situation, and there are many times when the two situations occur, such as now.
"MBB believes that the previous memorandum of cooperation is not perfect and some areas need to be adjusted, which is exactly what we want to mention in this meeting......"
"Really? I always thought we had a tacit understanding on this point. The smile on Chen Geng's face was put away, he understood what these Germans were planning, after thinking that he had no worries, these Germans actually planned to play with him.
"Of course we have reached a tacit understanding," Wolfgang Meidon said slyly, not knowing whether to play stupid or stupid, "Didn't we already reach a tacit understanding before?" Now it's just a matter of making some technical adjustments to individual details......"
"Hehe......" Chen Geng smiled, raised his head and looked at Wolfgang Meidong: "Do you want to adjust individual details?" So what are the share distribution methods, rights and obligations, technology, and processes that we agreed on in the memorandum? ”
"Memos are memos," Wolfgang Medidon said vaguely, "and there are still a lot of things that need to be adjusted." ”
The worst is happening! Chen Geng felt very sad.
MBB believes that the MPC-75 project has been revived by now, so what they need now is no longer a partner, but only a sales market and a cheap production base. MBB's abacus was played very loudly, but Chen Geng decided to tell the Germans with the facts that they had miscalculated......
After a period of silence that made Wolfgang Meidong secretly happy, thinking that Chen Geng was planning to back down, Chen Geng finally spoke, and his voice was a little low: "Mr. Meidong, is this just your personal attitude, or the attitude of the whole MBB?" ”
"That's my attitude," Wolfgang Medidon pursed, "Of course, MBB has the same attitude." ”
"That's ......"
Chen Geng sighed.
"I'm sorry." Wolfgang Medon felt a little smug in his heart.
In his heart, Chen Geng's sigh was more like the helpless struggle of a little mouse in a cage, and he looked at Chen Geng's gaze even with a slight joke, very kind of "I just like to see you grit your teeth with hatred but you can't do anything about me".
But is there really nothing Chen Geng can do with Wolfgang Meidong and MBB?
"It seems that I can only talk to the Soviets."
