Chapter 668: The Fog of History (1/2)
"That's what makes us feel the most helpless," Wolfgang Medion sighed, "You probably don't know why we have such an agreement." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Oh?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows, he was really a little curious: "Why?" ”
"Because this is your own request from the Chinese side." Speaking of this, Wolfgang Meidong sighed again.
"How is that possible?!" Chen Geng couldn't help but be moved.
In May, the Ministry of Aviation Industry convened the leaders of factories and institutes to study the next work arrangements with the relevant personnel of the Civil Aircraft Bureau, the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and the Planning Department of the Ministry of Aviation, and drew up three sets of large, medium, and small technical implementation plans. As long as MBB can help lobby the German government, in fact, the whole project can go smoothly.
However, at this very moment, Wolfgang Meidon, vice president of MBB and president of the transport aircraft division, telegraphed to the Chinese side that MPC-75 was to be established in June, and hoped that AVIC would participate as a joint stock partner, and that if it did not answer in June, MBB would demand that AVIC pay for the office and related equipment occupied by the Chinese experts of the joint engineering team, and that it would begin to provide invoices from 1 July.
"How could it be?" Wolfgang Meidong grinned: "On June 25 last year, a deputy minister of your Prime Minister's Office personally issued an instruction, and the content of the instruction was that 'MPC-75 will only engage in technical cooperation, and the Planning Commission will draft a document for approval so as to have a basis. Do you hear that? Only high-tech cooperation. ”
Chen Geng was shocked: What else happened during this period?!
Although Wolfgang Meidong said vague language, but just from this instruction, he can see the huge changes, he does not suspect that Wolfgang Meidong is lying, with his own level, if he has the heart to inquire, this instruction will definitely be able to inquire, is this the legendary MPC-75 "west wind overwhelmed the east wind incident"?
Wolfgang Meidong continued: "After this year's incident, we are still persistent, hoping to smoothly promote the development of MPC-75, but the news from Xifei is becoming less and less optimistic......
"So you found me?" Chen Geng took the words and asked in disbelief.
"Yes." Ursula Hawke nodded.
“……”
Chen Geng was dumbfounded, he didn't know where to put his arms, he raised them up and put them down, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "How can I help?" I don't think we can help. ”
Wolfgang Meidon: "That's why I just said that I hope you will be able to join the project. ”
"You mean that the addition of Runhua Industry can save MPC-75?"
"Yes."
"This ...... It's ridiculous," Chen Geng's mood in his heart is indescribable, buddy is now at best a fan of antique aircraft, 100 to 130 seat trunk aircraft, this thing feels exciting when you think about it, but buddy I can't play it: "How can you still have so much confidence in me?" I don't have confidence in myself myself......"
"Chen, you are the Soviet Union, and your purpose is to import the NK-8 engine from the Kuznetsov Design Bureau of the Soviet Union, right?" Hermann Altmaier suddenly interrupted Chen Geng's words and asked.
"Uh...... Yes. Chen Geng nodded.
Runhua Industry is preparing to introduce high-thrust aero engines from the Soviet Union, although it is now top secret, but if it is really targeted, it is not very difficult to inquire about the general situation of beating women, after all, the secrecy level of a high-thrust aero engine for military and civilian use is far less than that of fighter engines, since the Germans have chased themselves to the Soviet Union, it is not so difficult to know what they are doing in the Soviet Union.
"Your company now has an aircraft that is already undergoing airworthiness certification, you are now preparing to introduce high-thrust aero engines with a thrust of more than 100kN, and you have even obtained the right to import and export aviation equipment, you are the second enterprise in your country to have this qualification, as far as I know, there are only two companies with this qualification in your country, one is you, and the other is the China Aviation Technology Corporation in your country that you talked to MBB," Hermann Altmaier pursed his lips and asked rhetorically: "Mr. Chen, If you weren't ready to make a difference in the aviation industry, would you be so prepared? ”
I can't hide anything from someone who cares.
I have never told anyone that I am ready to do a big job in the aviation field, but these Germans have judged that the ambition of Runhua Industry is not small through a few actions of Runhua Industry, which is really ...... Well, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves.
As for now, since his thoughts have been known, Chen Geng simply stopped hiding it, and quickly admitted it with a little headache: "Yes, Runhua Industry is indeed ready to make a career in the aviation industry in the future, but I don't think it's a good time to do it." ”
"Why?" Ursula Hawke, who hadn't spoken much, finally couldn't help it and asked, "Why isn't it a good time now?" ”
"Because Runhua Industry's current capital and strength are not enough."
The reason for "......'s lack of money" is so powerful that Ursula Hawke rolls her eyes in choke: "But when you think that you have enough money and strength, you find that you still lack a lot of things." ”
Chen Geng smiled and didn't speak, what you say is good, as for whether Chen Geng agrees with this in his heart, that's another story.
Chen Geng didn't answer, which made Ursula Hawke a little disappointed, "Chen, I have to say, now is the best time for you to enter the aviation industry. ”
"Oh?" Chen Geng was finally a little interested: "What do you say?" ”
"Because MBB can lobby the government to provide you with long-term low-interest or even interest-free loans."
"I don't quite understand," Chen Geng frowned upon hearing this, "If I'm not mistaken, the German government was not willing to provide us with a loan before. ”
"Yes, that's true now." Ursula Hawke nodded without hesitation.
Chen Geng suddenly became vigilant, did the Germans know that I am an active officer of our army, and they want to use this way to win me over? Uh, buddy is so rich, how much money are you going to use to win me over?
Ursula Hawke said: "The reason why the Federal Government did not approve the loan is that the Federal Government believes that since this project is a cooperation project between the two sides, the Chinese side should promise to purchase a certain number of MPC-75 aircraft, but neither the Ministry of Aviation Industry nor the Civil Aviation Administration of your country dare to make a commitment......
"I don't dare," Chen Geng said without hesitation without waiting for Ursula Hawke to finish speaking: "The situation in our country is quite special, what planes to buy and how many planes to sell are not the final say of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, nor is it the main body of the market: each airline has the final say, this is a state act - of course, I believe that this situation does not only exist in our country, it is normal all over the world - our country is now engaged in trunk aircraft, In addition, it has already announced that it will purchase more than 150 mainline aircraft, and it is possible to use this as a bargaining chip to seek international cooperation, so how can it be possible to agree to you to purchase MPC-75 aircraft? ”
Ursula Hawke said-for-tat: "But you don't even buy the aircraft that we jointly produce, why should our federal government give you a loan?" ”
"Okay, what you say makes sense," Chen Geng shrugged, "but the problem is that China's Aviation Industry Bureau and the Civil Aviation Administration can't give you promises, and I can't give them - even if you give me a loan, I don't dare to ask for it." ”
This is not an exaggeration at all, under the same conditions, the Federal Republic of Germany did not provide a loan to the government of the Republic, but gave the money to Runhua Industrial, what will the Civil Aviation Administration think? What will the Ministry of Aviation Industry think? What will the Prime Minister's Office think? Does Chen Geng still want to mix in China? It's true that even if you Germans dare to give it, I don't dare to ask for it.
Ursula Hawke was suffocated and starved half to death!
"If, I mean, if you are given the same conditions, can you commit to purchasing a batch of MPC-75?" Ursula Hawke's eyes were full of eagerness and eagerness: "It doesn't take much, 50 are enough." ”
"Do you know how much 50 100-seat planes cost?" Chen Geng rolled his eyes angrily: "At least eight or nine hundred million US dollars, do you think I can come up with such a large sum of money?" Or will your German government lend me eight or nine billion? Besides, even if I can come up with such a large sum of money, it is useless, and our company does not have an airline......"
Speaking of this, a bright light suddenly flashed in Chen Geng's heart: "What do you mean, do you want me to start an airline?" ”
"That's right......"
"Now there are 6 airlines in our country, namely Air China Airlines, Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Northwest Airlines and Northern Airlines, by the way, just in July, a general aviation company was established to operate general aviation business and concurrently operate air transport business, and the whole republic is ...... on these 7 airlines" interrupting the other party's words, Chen Geng broke his fingers and counted the accounts for the people in the room one by one:" Do you know how difficult it is to apply for an airline in our country? Do you know how complicated this process is? You know ......"
"Chen, aren't you from your country's military, can't you set up an airline in the name of the military?"
Wolfgang Meidong's words made Chen Geng stunned for a moment.
