Chapter 853 - China Aviation Technology Delegation

The legal team of Dongxing Group traveled from San Francisco to Hamburg to negotiate with MBB, and the cooperation between the two parties was full of sincerity, but when it came to their own interests, they still did not give an inch.

However, Lu Yunmo began to get anxious, and he gradually found that it seemed that in this upcoming joint venture, China Aviation Technology was gradually excluded from the equity. He immediately contacted the country, constantly passed on the dynamics of Hamburg, and kept an eye on the progress of the negotiations every day.

Domestically, when China Aviation Technology learned that Lin Qiangsheng and Germany had launched unilateral negotiations, they did not have a very good way.

The Ministry of Aviation Industry is interested in the McDonnell Douglas 82, a large mainline aircraft, and the MPC75 is a medium-sized passenger aircraft, which is not in line with the planning of the Ministry of Aviation.

However, AVIC does not want to lose the opportunity, after all, the joint research and development of passenger aircraft between China and Germany can make the domestic designers who transition from imitation to independent design have an opportunity to touch the design of modern civil airliners, and this precious opportunity is precious!

On the one hand, China Aviation Technology stepped up communication with Lin Qiangsheng, and on the other hand, accelerated its own pace, and quickly selected a representative to Germany.

After the establishment of a joint venture between the two parties, it is still necessary for AVIC to organize the domestic R&D team and scientific research strength to participate in this big plan with a total investment of 12~1.4 billion US dollars.

As a joint venture, he will invest most of the scientific research funds in the enterprises under AVIC, entrust them to develop the MPC-75, and will place a large number of orders to the enterprises of AVIC.

The leaders of AVIC are quite excited to hear his plan, not to mention that this plan has a research fund of up to 1.4 billion US dollars!

Even if it's only half and half, that's $350 million, and if that money can be invested in domestic aviation, what a boost!

This is not like the Ministry of Aviation Industry, which restricts them tightly, and has to report to the higher authorities for instructions on everything, and there is a cumbersome and lengthy approval process for national investment, and the funds allocated to AVIC every year are pitiful.

If Lin Qiangsheng really invests hundreds of millions of dollars in AVIC, then they will be able to revitalize many half-dead scientific research institutes and aviation manufacturing enterprises, and their lives will be more comfortable!

After repeated discussions, AVIC acquiesced to Lin Qiangsheng's approach, and a week later, a six-member delegation led by Deputy General Manager Jiang Tong arrived in Hamburg.

Lin Qiangsheng came to pick them up in person, shook hands with them one by one, and then said to Jiang Tong with a smile: "Vice President Jiang, welcome to your arrival, I'm a little anxious to wait!" ”

Jiang Tong said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, it's not too late for us to come, after getting your news, we are non-stop to apply for visas, and we flew over quickly!" ”

Everyone laughed, Lin Qiangsheng nodded again and again and said, "Of course it's not too late, you came at the right time!" ”

Jiang Tong asked Lin Qiangsheng and Lu Yunmo: "Has the Sino-German aircraft manufacturing company been formed?" ”

Lu Yunmo glanced at Lin Qiangsheng and said: "Mr. Lin's negotiation team arrived in Hamburg five days ago, and they are discussing the formation of the company with the MBB side led by Schmidt, and the agreement has not yet been signed!" ”

"Oh yes, okay, I see." Jiang Tong nodded, he suppressed Lu Yunmo, who wanted to stop talking, and then said to Lin Qiangsheng: "We, China Aviation Technology Import and Export Corporation, are supporting Mr. Lin's plan, the MPC-75 project has the opportunity to give us access to the international advanced level, and what is more valuable is that Mr. Lin's funds will be used for the domestic aviation industry, which will bring great promotion to China's aviation technology!" ”

Then, Jiang Tong put forward another point: "Although the joint venture company is established by Mr. Lin's Dongxing Group and MBB Company, we should also reflect our own value in the project, we pay more attention to technical patents, as well as the improvement and help of domestic aviation technology in the project, and hope that Mr. Lin can let our personnel participate in the establishment of the joint venture company!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "No problem, Vice President Jiang, I am a layman in the aviation industry, you know better what is needed, China Aviation Technology can directly ask the Germans, I fully support you." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Tong also showed a sincere smile: "Mr. Lin, I believe that we will cooperate happily!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and nodded, he felt that Jiang Tong was still very cooperative.

The group got out of the airport and got into the car, and they were arranged by Lin Johnson to stay at the Kempinski Atlantic Hotel.

The almost 100-year-old hotel stands on the shores of Lake Alster, with a pediment wall on the faΓ§ade that is one of Hamburg's most iconic buildings, and is ideally located in the heart of the Hamburg theater, the lakeside shopping area, the train station and the exhibition center.

Jiang Tong and others stayed in a five-star hotel, quite surprised, Lin Qiangsheng prepared 3 suites for them, and said to Jiang Tong when he left: "Vice President Jiang, you live here, if there is anything you need to tell me directly, rest assured, all expenses will be paid by me." This hotel also has a recreational area to have fun and delights. ”

He looked at his watch and said, "You guys should rest first, and I'll come back at 12 noon to arrange for you to eat." ”

"Mr. Lin, you are so polite!" Jiang Tong couldn't be more satisfied with Lin Qiangsheng's arrangement, he heard in advance that the other party was responsible for the cost of this trip, but he didn't expect to be able to live in a five-star hotel.

He returned to the guest room, glanced at the overwhelmed crowd in surprise, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect it to be so well arranged, everyone is welcome, find a place to sit." ”

Everyone was also surprised, and they each found a place to sit down, Lu Yunmo shook his head and smiled: "Previously, this Lin Qiangsheng brought his girlfriend to negotiate with the Germans, and he even wanted to order an MPC75 passenger plane as his own private jet, this is simply self-made, playing the piano indiscriminately, and fooling around!" ”

Jiang Tong was surprised for a moment and asked: "Order an MPC75, aren't the Germans still building it?" ”

Lu Yunmo laughed: "Of course the plane has not been built, how can it be so simple." ”

Jiang Tong found that Lu Yunmo's attitude towards Lin Qiangsheng was a little wrong, and he didn't know what kind of contradiction the two people had, he said: "Old Lu, pay attention to Lin Qiangsheng's identity, he is an investor, whether he buys a private jet or not is his business, and we don't care who he brings here." ”

Lu Yunmo looked at Vice President Jiang in a daze, and saw that everyone had no opinions, and was very surprised, he had been abroad for the past few years, and he didn't know much about the situation at home.

Jiang Tong said to everyone: "There are three suites, let's divide one point, this is a foreign businessman's money, don't be polite." ”

Everyone laughed, and after the guest rooms were allocated, they all returned to their rooms, Jiang Tong pulled Lu Yunmo and asked: "Old Lu, as far as you know, does MBB have the strength to develop regional airliners?" ”

Lu Yunmo nodded and said: "Of course there is, Airbus intends to invest in MBB, and MBB is very hesitant, from this point of view, the Germans still have strength." In addition, as far as I know, the German government and the aviation industry are very dissatisfied with the French suppressing Germany over the years, and they very much want to build their own aviation manufacturing brand, and the West German government is also very supportive of MBB's plan. The Germans have the money, they have the technical prowess, so I think that the MPC75 project will quite be successful! ”

Jiang Tong also nodded in agreement, and said: "I also think so in China, in the past, the West blocked China, and now there is finally an opportunity to contact European and American aviation technology, we must seize this opportunity to improve our own technology!" ”

Lu Yunmo asked a little confused: "Why did we give the lead to Lin Qiangsheng, and why did he participate in this project?" ”

Jiang Tong glanced at him, patted Lu Yunmo on the shoulder and said, "Old Lu, do you think the Ministry of Aviation Industry will let the MPC75 project be launched?" ”

"Well, maybe." Lu Yunmo said uncertainly.

Jiang Tong shook his head: "We have consulted the relevant leaders of the Ministry of Aviation on this issue, and the results are not optimistic." ”

He sighed and said: "The superiors are more inclined to develop the McDonnell Douglas-82 project, and think that it is still very difficult for China at the moment, so it is better to concentrate on conquering the McDonnell Douglas-82 project." The production line of McDonnell Douglas 82 is going to move to China, which is really beneficial to the country, and the superiors also feel that McDonnell Douglas 82 is a large aircraft project, with great scalability, and it is not difficult to learn to manufacture large aircraft, and it is not difficult to make short and medium ranges, and it is a bit unattractive to the MPC75 plan. ”

"I see, so what are we going to do?" Lu Yunmo asked worriedly, this is a choice related to the future.

Jiang Tong said: "The superiors want to concentrate on attacking McDonnell Douglas 82, also because they have the foundation of Y-10, as long as they digest McDonnell Douglas 82, this is a complementary result." In fact, this idea also makes sense, but we ourselves must also know that the Americans will not give the core technology to China, and now the Germans want us to join their aircraft program, which is to give us a way to understand the core technology of the West! ”

He said to Lu Yunmo: "Old Lu, the success or failure of this project depends on the attitude of Lin Qiangsheng. ”

Lu Yunmo stood in place in a daze, his head turned twice, it turned out that the young man was so important, his attitude towards him was indeed problematic, he just regarded him as a speculator before, and he was an explosive household with no background, and he unconsciously had a kind of contempt, but now it seems that it really shouldn't be, but he is an investor.

Maybe it was Lin Qiangsheng's Chinese face and Mandarin that affected his mood, which was completely inconsistent with the image of a foreigner he originally thought of as a foreigner, Lu Yunmo thought secretly. (To be continued.) )
