"What I want to say is that your appetite is too greedy," looking at these big people in front of him who had stomped their feet, and the entire aviation manufacturing industry in the world was trembling, Lin Hongfei lit a cigarette and said faintly, "I want to remind you that this is not the Soviet era, but the Russian era." ”

"So what?" Sergei. Vladimirovich said in a deep voice.

"It's not good, it's just that the ships of the Russian Far East Pacific Fleet are parked at anchorage and rusted and unmaintained, the Russian Air Force doesn't even have fuel to make fighters fly, and Russian long-range strategic bombers haven't been on combat duty patrols for how long?" Lin Hongfei went one by one, ignoring Pyrm and Alexei. The increasingly bad expressions of Tupolev and others, "All of this shows that the Soviet Red Empire that could confront the powerful NATO no longer exists, and I can understand your pride from the Soviet era, but if you still stubbornly talk to me with the pride of the Soviet era, in my opinion, you are a bunch of fools." ”

What does "stupid" mean, the old hairymen don't understand, but it doesn't matter, Lin Hongfei's expression is enough to show that it will definitely not be a good word.

"So?" Alexei. Tupolev's expression was no less ugly.

"So, put down the shelf, we are not enemies now, we have a common enemy: the United States," Lin Hongfei took a puff of cigarette and said slowly, "The Gulf War that the Americans fought gave you a great shock, right?" Didn't you, who pursued the 'strategy of great depth and the doctrine of large artillery and large armor,' not expect that the way of warfare would change so much? ”

"As a business, we don't care so much, I just know that it doesn't seem like God can stop Boeing from buying McDonald. Douglas is on track, and according to current developments, by the end of next year at the latest. Boeing was able to complete the acquisition of MacDonald. According to Douglas's plan, there will only be two super civil aircraft manufacturing giants in the world: Boeing and Airbus, Mr. Tupolev, ask yourself, is your Tupolev Design Bureau confident that it can compete with Boeing and Airbus? ”

Alexei. Tupolev turned his head, he did not want to answer, and he did not want to face it, because this answer was too cruel.

Lin Hongfei also didn't mind, after Alexei. After Tupolev, he asked Sergei of the Ilyushin Design Bureau. Vladimirovich asked. "Mr. Sergey, what about you? It looks like your Ilyushin Design Bureau's Il-86 and Il-96 are very good, but you are confident that you can compete with Boeing and Airbus? ”

"I can't." Sergei. Vladimirovich was silent for a long time, and finally whispered helplessly.

The design of the Il-86 and Il-96 was advanced, but there were frequent problems with size. In terms of quality, stability and reliability, it is impossible to compete with similar products of Boeing and Airbus, let alone ride comfort.

"What about you? Mr. Baranov. Will your Yakovlev Design Bureau be able to compete with them? Lin Hongfei didn't let any of them go. Continuing to turn his head to look at Baranov of the Yakovlev Design Bureau, "Your Yakovlev Design Bureau's Yak-42 series has been out of production for a short time, right?" Just by providing maintenance services and spare parts for those Yak-42 aircraft that were sold before, you can barely maintain your Yakovlev Design Bureau, without scientific research, without research and development of new products, without state financial investment, how many years can the Yakovlev Design Bureau last? ”

"Yes. Lin, you're right, but what you said about Boeing's acquisition of MacDonald. I don't agree with Douglas's statement. Mcdonald. After all, Douglas is one of the world's three major aircraft manufacturing giants. Douglas, how much money do you need to come up with? Baranov looked at Lin Hongfei with confidence, "That's at least $13 billion!" What is the concept of $13 billion? It is equivalent to the annual revenue of more than 90% of the countries on the planet, and no country can guarantee that its business and investment in science and technology will not be affected after spending $13 billion. ”

That's right! didn't react for a while, this was fooled by this kid. As soon as Baranov said this, Pyrm, Alexei. Tupolev, Sergey. Vladimirovich and other bigwigs had smiles on their faces: What do you kid say this time?

"yes, it sounds like that." Lin Hongfei nodded, calmly admitting that what Baranov said made sense.

Lin Hongfei, this kid is planning to admit defeat? Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, the old Maozi couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in their hearts: they were almost calculated by this kid, how can this be?

But before they could say anything, Lin Hongfei's words made them all stunned, "But what if it's a share replacement?" ”

Share swap? Alexei. Tupolev and the others looked at each other, and then, their faces became a little ugly: Russia has been "reform and opening up" for several years, and it is no stranger to the thing of share replacement. Douglas & Co., that ...... The chances of success are not small.

"If Boeing says that every Boeing stock can be exchanged for a certain percentage of MacDonald. Douglas stock, who would think that this merger would not be successful? ”

"But...... Isn't this a monopoly? The U.S. government is unlikely to support it. Baranov weakly objected.

"That was before, and now Airbus has threatened the status of the world's number one aviation manufacturing power in the United States, and before that, Airbus even proposed to buy McDonald. Douglas's proposal, do you think the U.S. government supports Boeing's acquisition of McDonald and the two companies are twisted together to deal with Airbus, or is it better for the two companies to fight separately and divide their forces against Airbus? ”

Lin Hongfei's question left everyone speechless: there is no doubt that it must be Boeing and MacDonald. Douglas twisted into a rope to fight Boeing's competition.

But not everyone was speechless, and a moment later, a weak voice rang out, "What is Boeing's acquisition of MacDonald. Douglas & Co., not McDonald. Douglas buys Boeing? ”

"Because the Americans also take advantage of MacDonald. Douglas put us Chinese together. Lin Hongfei's voice carried a hidden deep but deep sadness.

in the country. Having realized that he was put together by the Americans on the McDonnell Douglas-82 and McDonnell Douglas-90 planes, the old man is furious, and no leader of a major country can bear such an insult, and he feels quite uncomfortable being teased and applauded like a clown, and a reflective trend of thought is being formed, and the Dongfang Aircraft Factory, which is producing the MD-82, is now in a state of panic, not only is it no longer the posture of the "Royal Guard" before, Many people with connections have sharpened their heads and want to be transferred to other departments or enterprises, which even affects the assembly of MD-82.

Lin Hongfei said this, Pirm, Alexei. Of course, Tupolev and the others knew the truth, if it was before. They will probably clap their hands and applaud, but now, everyone should not laugh at the second brother.

"So what?" Alexei. Tupolev's eyes flickered twice, "Lin, tell me your plan." We don't believe you're bringing us together for this grievance conference. ”

This black pot Lin Hongfei refuses to carry it, "Mr. Tupolev." Please be clear. It's not that I want to do something, but what you, to be more precise, your entire Russian civil aircraft manufacturing industry want, and if my memory is not in trouble, this banquet tonight should have been invited by you after you have prepared it, right? ”

The implication is that even if there is any idea, it should be what you Russians have first.

"Hehe......" Alexey . Tupolev laughed slyly. "Lin, maybe you misunderstood, this banquet is just an ordinary welcome dinner...... We're friends. Isn't it? ”

Lin Hongfei secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, but on the surface he was silent, you can calm down, I can also calm down, he laughed twice and said, "Is that the case?" I thought that everyone had some idea of jointly defending against the invasion of the United States in the aviation industry, it seems that I thought too much...... Come, let's toast to peace, peace is a good thing. ”

A fool can also hear that the "peace" in Lin Hongfei's words definitely does not mean peace, but the words are said by themselves, what else can they do? Everyone glanced at each other and shook their heads depressedly: Lin Hongfei, this bastard, is really cunning...... He is only 25 years old, how can he be cunning and sophisticated like a 52-year-old man?

Alexei. Tupolev glanced at Baranov: among the major Russian manufacturers of aviation aircraft, Baranov's Yakovlev Design Bureau was the most difficult, and at this time, Baranov naturally needed to be at the forefront.

Baranov was helpless about this situation, but he had no choice.

Came to Lin Hongfei with a wine glass, and asked Lin Hongfei with a very interested look, "Lin, I listened to the meaning of your words just now, and it seems that there is something ...... Well, the way to protect yourself? ”

Finally can't hold back your mouth? Lin Hongfei sneered in his heart.

But since the other party finally couldn't hold it back, he didn't hesitate to give the other party a "chance", nodded, and said, "It can't be said to be a way, it can only be said to be my personal opinion." ”

"Oh?" Baranov raised his eyebrows, "I'm listening." ”

"From the rise of Airbus and Boeing with McDonald. According to the new product development trajectory of Boeing and Airbus, we can also see that the development of larger and more advanced aircraft is the demand for the development of civil aircraft in the future, and regional aircraft and small general aircraft only exist to make up for the gap of large aircraft. ”

"That's true." Baranov lowered his head and thought about it, nodded, and agreed with Lin Hongfei's words.

"Then a new question arises before us: where do you go from here for the once brilliant Russian civil aviation industry? I think everyone here is not willing to see their market being eaten away by Boeing and Airbus step by step, right? ”

"Of course we don't ......"

"Mr. Baranov, please listen to me," Baranov was interrupted by Lin Hongfei as soon as he spoke, "for your country, for the rapidly developing economy and air transport industry of our republic, it has become inevitable that the next peak of the development of the air transport industry will be ushered in, so a question is placed in front of all of us: will we watch the place that originally belonged to us be occupied by others?" ”

"Nope! Of course not! Without waiting for Baranov to answer, Lin Hongfei waved his hand vigorously, "This is this kind of economic aggression!" We will never allow it! We will absolutely not allow Europe and the United States to suppress our aviation manufacturing industry and occupy our market at the same time! There is only one way out of this situation: we join forces! Fight Boeing and Airbus together! ”

"United?!"

Suddenly there were low exclamations and discussions in the banquet hall, and in the blink of an eye, these exclamations and discussions turned into noise and quarrels.

Although before that Pirm and Alexey . Tupolev and others had already guessed what Lin Hongfei wanted to say, but when these words really came out of Lin Hongfei's mouth, everyone still couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts: Russia and the Republic have joined forces in the field of civil aircraft to jointly fight against the "invasion" of Boeing and Airbus? That's a ...... Exciting! Inspiring!

"That's right, it's a union!" Lin Hongfei's eyes stared at the one who said this, "In addition to uniting, do you have any other better ways to resolve this crisis?" ”

The commotion just now gradually calmed down.

Although they are reluctant to admit it, there is no indisputable fact that the combination of a superpower with a population of 1.2 billion and a power with the most advanced aviation technology is the most likely way to stop the "invasion" of Boeing and Airbus.

"Lin, what do you think?" Alexei. Tupolev couldn't hold back any longer, squeezed in front of Lin Hongfei, and asked him.

Among the Russian enterprises that produce more than medium-sized civil aircraft, the current Tupolev Design Bureau is the most alive, but this nourishment is also relatively speaking, the Tupolev Design Bureau has already felt the strong pressure from Boeing and Airbus, and now, it is time to find a way to solve the problem.
