962 Ma Fengshan, a powerful figure in the eyes of Americans
Not only Qin Fei, but also the grandsons of many state-owned factories are basically the same. Many people who have risen in recent years have started by embezzling state assets. After all, with their wages on Weibo in the unit, if they want to buy the entire factory or half of the equity when the factory is restructured, they will not be able to take out these funds at all if they do not embezzle state assets.
Yun Fei knew a lot about these things, but he didn't have any way.
He is a private boss, and he has no control over these things of the state.
What's more, few of those people don't have backers, and if they don't have backers, it's basically impossible to do such a thing.
Qin Fei introduced bass engines from the British Rolls-Royce Company, not only the relatives and children of the leaders of Qin Fei Factory went to the UK, but also the children and relatives of many bigwigs in the higher authorities went to the empire. Isn't anyone aware of this cattiness?
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when the pond is big, there will be any kind of king.
These things, Yun Fei, a private boss, absolutely can't control them.
And his industry, which can completely allow more people to reap the benefits, but for him, it is absolutely intolerable. There was no room for sand in the eyes of Boss Yun. However, he is still very curious about Pratt & Whitney's attitude towards them.
From the very beginning, when he asked people to contact Pratt & Whitney, the CEO of the other party, Black, showed unusual enthusiasm for their group, which made him very puzzled, and sent someone from Hartford City to Fairfield City overnight to pick them up, and the plane flight to that side was also arranged by them.
This made Yun Fei and his party have such feelings.
If it is in China, even if there are airplanes, those people in China, the government leaders will definitely charter the plane, regardless of whether the other party will eventually invest money on their side, for the sake of face, these leaders will do this.
But the Americans did not. Anyway, it is a small plane, there are only a few dozen seats, there is no business class and economy class, and there is no chartered plane to receive them, just a few tickets for their group.
When they arrived at the airport in East Hartford, there was no over-standard reception, and the other party just sent a vice president of business to the airport to receive them.
In China, this is simply impossible.
Not to mention the leaders of the company, even the first and second leaders of the local government. They will come to the airport to greet ......
Perhaps, this is what those leaders often call the difference in national conditions.
"Mr. Yun, welcome to East Hartford! I am Catherine, the vice president of business of Pratt & Whitney, and your company will be received by me during the inspection in East Hartford, I hope you can have a pleasant journey during this time...... "The vice president of business of Pratt & Whitney is actually a woman, which makes Yun Fei and his party very surprised. Whether in China or in the world, most of the people engaged in cutting-edge machinery manufacturing businesses such as the aircraft industry are mainly men. Women are often only responsible for part of the ancillary work.
They really didn't expect that the vice president of business of the world's top three aircraft engine manufacturing companies was actually a woman, and moreover, a very young woman.
Aircraft engines are not ordinary products. Those in charge of business are often quite familiar with engine technology, otherwise it is definitely not easy to negotiate with those bigwigs in the military armament department, which is the most demanding in the United States.
"Thank you, Ms. Catherine, for coming to greet us. I believe that with a beautiful and sexy lady like you, even if we can't work together. We will all have a very pleasant journey......" Although Yun Fei is reluctant to speak English, although his English is very poor, it does not mean that he does not understand English.
So, when showing respect for the other person, he had to communicate with the other person in fluent English. After all, in this world, English is the language of the world. Thanks to China's test-oriented education, English is a compulsory subject from high school, and this language has a higher status in China than Chinese. If you want to go to a good university, it is impossible to learn English well.
In fact, Yun Fei was only proficient in English, but Li Lu mastered fluent English, and in order not to be cheated by others after Yun Fei went abroad, he has been forcing Yun Fei to practice English.
Their company has a professional translator, but they mind that Yun Fei always likes to turn the employees around him into his own women, and Yun Fei has no habit of using male assistants, so ......
Although Wang Zixin's academic performance is very good, her English is a standard Chinese-style English, and it is estimated that not many people can understand it when she goes out of China. And this negotiation involves too many professional things, so Yun Fei and his party came over, and many technical planes such as Ma Fengshan and Cheng from time to time are absolutely excellent in English.
"Thank you Mr. Yun for the compliment, Mr. Yun understands English, this is easy to do, so that we will not worry about the translator's translation problems, which will cause unpleasant communication between the two of us......" Catherine really didn't expect that Yun Fei actually knew English.
Their intelligence reality, this young boss from China only knows fluent German, and when he went to Europe, he either spoke German or Chinese. Since the other party understands English and is very proficient, if there is a verbal conflict between the two parties, it is not easy to shift the responsibility to the interpreter.
"Ms. Catherine, this is Mr. Jiang Jianxing, President of our Huaxia Xianglong Commercial Aircraft Company, these two are the two chief designers of our commercial aircraft, Mr. Ma Fengshan and Mr. Cheng Bushi......" Yun Fei introduced his team to Catherine, and this time he came here to find the supporting engine of the ARJ-21 aircraft, basically Jiang Jianxing and the three chief designers of the two large aircraft.
The rest of the people are basically soy sauce related to this project.
Even the two people from the Aircraft Bureau of the Civil Aviation Administration were left in Fairfield City by Yun Fei to see the scenery.
"Mr. Ma, you're not ......" When Yun Fei introduced Ma Fengshan, Catherine's eyes widened suddenly......
Regarding Catherine's reaction, Ma Fengshan was also very puzzled, in his memory, there should be no intersection with this woman, right?
"Mr. Ma, when you came to the United States on behalf of China to participate in the high-bypass exchange, I listened to your lectures, and we benefited a lot from your ingenious design and some low-cost solutions in various aircraft performance tests......" Seeing Ma Fengshan's puzzled face, Catherine hurriedly said.
"Ms. Catherine has won the award, and the whole world knows that you, the United States, are the country with the best aircraft technology in the whole world." For Catherine's praise, Ma Fengshan was noncommittal, although China's aviation industry was backward, but the Yun-10 of that year, except for the engine, was all explored by China without the slightest experience.
And the Yun 10, although it was not the best aircraft in the world at that time, was a first-class aircraft.
One of the reasons why the Civil Aviation Administration of China let Yun Shi get off the horse is that Yun Shi has fallen behind before it has been developed, and it is too polluting for the environment to be exported to the European and American markets......
For this, people who know the inside story can't say anything except scoff.
The aircraft developed by China are not even satisfied with their own domestic market, and these bigwigs are actually directly eyeing the international market. What's more, these engines are imported! How can such a thing not be ridiculous?
In the mid-80s, after the Yun-10 was dismounted, the state sent Ma Fengshan to lead a delegation to participate in the high-bypass ratio exchange in the United States, which was actually a top competition for large aircraft, and Ma Fengshan profoundly changed Americans' views on China's aviation talents and technical level.
It is precisely because of this that when the state proposed to build a large aircraft again in 86 years, a market research was conducted for five whole years, and there was still no news. At that time, the old man had already abdicated.
And in Yun Fei's world, Ma Fengshan was angry to death by this incident......
Whether it is Yunfei's Chinese large-scale aircraft project in the world, or the large-scale aircraft project that Yunfei engaged in in this era, many of the designs come from Ma Fengshan's exchange to the United States.
Ma Fengshan's notes, which are regarded as treasures by people in China's aviation industry, are just some of the most elementary things, and the notes written by Ma Fengshan after getting off the horse are truly priceless treasures for China's aviation industry.
And this note now belongs to China Xianglong Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and at the same time, it also belongs to Yun Fei personally - because Ma Fengshan gave the notes and some design sketches he wrote down when he was herding sheep in the Inner Mongolia grassland over the years to Yun Fei, a young private boss who attaches importance to technology development and is willing to invest.
"You Chinese are just too modest. If our Deputy Chief Engineer, Mr. Hand, knew that you were on this inspection team, I don't know how happy we would be! After Catherine invited everyone to get into the car, she said to Ma Fengshan with a smile.
Regarding Ma Fengshan's affairs in the United States, there is no report in China at all.
However, after the launch of the large aircraft project in later generations, the evaluation of Ma Fengshan was very high, which is the founder of China's modern aviation industry.
In Yunfei's world, many of the design and development teams of China's large aircraft projects are Ma Fengshan's students and his former partners. A lot of things are the design ideas left by Ma Fengshan.
"Hand? Mason. Hand? Isn't he at McDonnell Douglas? It should be at Boeing now, right? When did you get into Pratt & Whitney? Hearing Catherine's words, Ma Fengshan was immediately surprised. (To be continued......)
