"Then they demanded that the patent rights of the improved D-36 we designed belong to both parties, and secondly, the high-strength spindle we needed must be ordered from them......" After a moment's hesitation, Wang Han said, "The price they gave was $400,000 a piece." ”

"!" Lin Hongfei scolded fiercely.

The technology of introducing the D-36 engine was given money to the Ukrainians by the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and this improvement was proposed by their own side, and the Ukrainians wanted to make this cheap for nothing? If it was just like this, Lin Hongfei would have endured it, after all, the technique was provided by the Ukrainians, and the improvement work had never been able to stand the cooperation of the designers of the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau, but...... Nima, $400,000 a spindle?

Are these damn Ukrainians planning to eat big?

Speaking from the heart, $400,000 a spindle can only be regarded as a high price, although the price is a little black, but it has not reached the level of black madness. For example, the JT8D-200 engine sold by Whitney to Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the spindle life of the JT8D-200 was as high as 30,000 hours, but the final transaction price of this engine was only about $1.6 million.

The entire engine plus the engine control system costs only $1.6 million, so how much does the spindle with a service life of 30,000 hours cost? It won't exceed $300,000. But now, Ukraine is arresting the landlords and starting to fight local tyrants, and a spindle with a life span of only 24,000 hours dares to ask for 400,000 US dollars, not to mention how many spindles will be ordered from them for the next number of engines...... Nima! Compared with this condition, the condition that the patent right is jointly owned by both parties just now is simply discovered by the Ukrainians in conscience.

Wang Han waited nervously for Lin Hongfei's final decision, from his heart. He also did not want to agree to this excessive condition to the Ukrainians, but raising the maximum thrust of the D-36 to 110KN is too tempting, and when you think of this value, not to mention 400,000 dollars, even 800,000 dollars is worth it...... Well, technicians are like this, as long as they can get what they want, they don't care how much it costs, or rather. They don't have an accurate idea of money in their heads.

"Tell them that we absolutely can't accept this price, the current market price of D-18T is less than 4 million US dollars, and the international price of the TV7-117VMA turboprop engine used in the An-140 aircraft they are working on is less than 600,000 US dollars, so dare to ask for 400,000 US dollars with the main shaft? Let them dream of it! Lin Hongfei snorted. Tell the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau to give them an order for 100 spindles. Up to 200,000 per spindle. We must be taught the full set of production and manufacturing processes of the spindle, and the life span cannot be less than 24,000 hours, forget ......"

After thinking about it, Lin Hongfei changed his words again, "It's a little difficult for you to talk to them, I'll let those negotiators in the company talk to Ermaozi." ”

"That's for the best." Wang Han breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if he let himself talk to the Ukrainians, Wang Han is really worried about whether he can talk about this matter, since the boss said to let those "iron roosters" in the company talk about it. That's for the best.

"As for patent sharing, tell them that unless they can spend as much R&D as we do, they shouldn't even think about it...... We paid them for help, not for them to empty our wallets, but these hairs were a good calculation. As soon as he said this, Boss Lin was full of anger, "Tell those bastards of the Zaporosh Progressive Machine Building Bureau, don't think that we can't play without them, I heard that the Kuznetsov Design Bureau has had a difficult time recently?" ”

Threaten Ukrainians in this way? Wang Han listened to the Great Khan: It seems that the Kuznetsov Design Bureau has not made a breakthrough in the field of turbofan engines with a large bypass ratio, right? Of the three major aircraft engine manufacturers in the former Soviet Union, only the current Zaporosh Progressive Machine Building Bureau is capable of producing and manufacturing turbofan engines with large bypass ratios.

But since the boss said so, Wang Han naturally couldn't say anything bad, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "That's what I said, but ...... After all, this proposal was made with the advice and assistance of the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau, and they also contributed to it, so ......"

"So you think their demands are reasonable, too?" Lin Hongfei glanced at Wang Han with slanted eyes, a little angry.

Wang Han didn't make a sound, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

"You, you," Lin Hongfei was amused by this guy's nerdy anger, and shook his head, "Then let me ask you, someone sold you a pear orchard, and when you were managing this orchard, you planned to use the native plant in the orchard to graft a high-yield, new flavor of pears, in this process, you asked the owner of the original pear orchard to help you with advice, if this is the original owner of the pear orchard told you that because he helped you with advice, so you have to share half of the more pears, and all the costs incurred in the grafting process are borne by you. Do you want to do it? ”

"Of course not! Why? This is my pear orchard! Wang Han immediately said without thinking about it, as soon as the words fell, he immediately reacted, "Ah, ......" shouted, and then his face turned a little red.

Isn't it the same as the example of the pear orchard given by Mr. Lin to develop a new engine with a thrust of 110 kN on the basis of the D-36. Realizing this, Wang Han was suddenly ashamed: such a simple truth, why didn't he understand it? Unexpectedly, I almost fell for the Ukrainians!

No! It's already fallen for the Ukrainians, but fortunately, Mr. Lin's reaction is fast.

In the past, Wang Han thought that Lin Hongfei could create such a big career, and there were many lucky elements, but now he is completely convinced: with Mr. Lin's business acumen and insight, it is no wonder that people can succeed, and they are really unconvinced.

"Personally, I think that since the Ukrainians can develop the D-18T with a maximum thrust of 229.7 kN on the basis of the D-36 core machine, and improve the D-18T with the D-18TM, does this mean that the core machine of the D-36 has the potential to develop a complete sequence of thrust from 6,500 kg to 30,000 kg?" Lin Hongfei frowned and thought about it, and said slowly.

In the early stage of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Antonov Design Bureau had designed a large wide-body aircraft An-218 with a crew of 350 to 400 people, which was a little larger than the Boeing 767, and even completed the construction of a 1:1 physical model, and the engine to be used in this aircraft was the modification D-18TM of the D-18T of the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the AN-218 project and D- The 18T project died at the same time: Ukraine could not afford such a large sum of money to operate such two huge projects at the same time.

That's right! Wang Han's eyes suddenly lit up!

He didn't expect this before, but now when he heard Lin Hongfei say this, he suddenly felt that what Mr. Lin said made sense: That's right! Since the Zaporosh Progressive Machinery Manufacturing Bureau can make a D-18T with a maximum thrust of 229.7 kN on the basis of D-36, then it should be very easy to make a 110 kN engine on the basis of D-36, so it is really like what Mr. Lin said, on the basis of this core machine, we can form a series of engines covering from 6500 kg of thrust to 30000 kg of thrust?

Thinking of this, Wang Han's eyes instantly lit up and frightened, "Mr. Lin, I think it should be possible, well, it's not possible, it's definitely possible!" Now D-36 eyes are derived from D-36A, D-436, D-136, D-236, D-18T and D-18TM in the plan, so the formation of a series is definitely not too much of a problem, Mr. Lin, this time we have picked up the treasure! ”

"I just picked up a piece of Puyu that has a relatively high probability of opening a treasure jade, as for whether it can be opened a treasure jade, it still depends on the ability of you scientific researchers, in this regard, I can only serve you a cup of tea and pour water on the side, and help you do a good job of logistics." Lin Hongfei said with a smile, he knows very well that he can still make some suggestions in terms of automobiles and internal combustion engines, but when it comes to the aviation industry and aero engine manufacturing industry, his gap is not ordinarily large, and it is only serious to honestly do what a general manager should do.

"Mr. Lin, don't say that," Lin Hongfei said, but Wang Han was frightened, and waved his hand again and again, "If it weren't for your company, I might still be flying west to suffer their birds......

"What are you talking about?" Lin Hongfei smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, let's rest for a while, our country and the United Kingdom have a time difference of 8 hours, take care of your spirits, this time is enough for you to be busy." ”

The cabin of the TU-134B is spacious enough to be used as a business jet rather than a private jet at the beginning of the modification, and the sofas and seats on board can be folded down as beds, so that they can lie down and rest when necessary. It's just that Wang Han rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly, "Mr. Lin, I won't tell you, when I think that we can show up at this world's top air show, I am very excited, where can I sleep?" It's true that you take a break, Pratt. Whitney, BMW. Aren't the people from Rolls-Royce and General Electric waiting for you? (To be continued......)
