"This is the An-70 transport plane, right?" When he saw a model more than one meter long on the booth, Lin Hongfei pointed to the model and asked Kachikhanov, the iconic paddle fan engine on the model made it difficult for anyone who knew a little about this aircraft to confuse this aircraft with other aircraft, he was a little curious, "I remember that your prototypes have already begun to fly test?" Why didn't you bring the plane, only a model? ”

Lin Hongfei was very interested in the An-70 transport aircraft, and he also thought that the Antonov Design Bureau had proposed the idea of introducing the An-70 transport aircraft, but as soon as this proposal was put forward, the Antonov Design Bureau rejected it without hesitation, and the reason for the refusal was also very simple: this is a project of cooperation between Ukraine and Russia, and the Antonov Design Bureau has no right to transfer the technology to a third party without the consent of the partners...... This is the superficial reason, as for the real reason, the ghost knows what the Dao is because of, but Lin Hongfei is sure that money is only one reason.

But this time it's too strange, the Antonov Design Bureau even brought the An-26, An-72, An-124 and even the latest modification of the An-2: the An-3 of the turboprop engine, why didn't they bring their main model for the next 30 years, the An-70?

"Hey, that's unlucky, the prototype crashed during our test flight in the first half of the year," Kakikhanov died of depression as soon as he talked about it.

During the fourth test flight in February this year, the An-70 medium-sized multi-purpose transport plane, which the Antonov Design Bureau had high hopes for and built at a huge cost, collided with another An-72 transport plane that accompanied the flight and made experimental records because of the pilot's operational error. At this Moscow air show, the Antonov Design Bureau could only take a model more than a meter long to make up the numbers...... If the prototype was still there, how could the Antonov Design Bureau miss such an opportunity to show off?

"So that's ......" After listening to Kakikhanov, Lin Hongfei had a strong urge to laugh: this person is unlucky, he is simply stuffed with cold water, and his life is compared with the past, a sky and an underground Antonov Design Bureau, originally expected An-70 to be a big sell, and since then he has been out of poverty and become well-off, just gritted his teeth and borrowed a loan to buy a walk-behind tractor, but the walk-behind tractor fell into the ravine and fell, how is this a moldy word?

To be honest, at this moment, Boss Lin really has a kind of schadenfreude in his heart when he sees others unlucky: let you not give me the technique at the beginning. How's that, now you're going to have to find a way to make a second prototype, right?

Of course, since everyone is still a partner, then you can't be too centimeter, she comforted her. "It doesn't matter, the future of the An-70 transport aircraft is bright. I'm optimistic. The immediate priority now is to hurry up and build a second prototype for test flights. ”

"That's what we think too." Kakikhanov nodded confidently, clearly confident in the An-70.

Lin Hongfei is a little sympathetic to this old man, we don't know what the situation of An-70 is after 2014, but if nothing else, it is estimated that this product will die of dystocia, after entering the new century. The situation faced by An-70 is getting worse and worse, and at first he was counting on Da Mao, but later found that Da Mao was unreliable and he was pitted by Da Mao. It was only at that time that the Republic had an improved version of the Y-8 for medium-sized tactical transport aircraft, and the Y-20 for large transport aircraft that had begun to fly test, and Ermao wanted to cooperate with the Republic on the An-70 project, but at that time, the Republic with a high vision could no longer look down on the An-70.

It's just that this can't be said, not only did Kachikhanov not only not believe it, but he would also think that he was fooling him, forget it, if you are unlucky, you will be unlucky, and you have no obligation to be responsible for the future of others, and the Antonov Design Bureau is not my wife.

"Okay, Kachikhanov, my friend, has the meeting place been arranged?" While pointing at the model of the An-70 transport plane, Lin Hongfei lowered his voice and said to Kakikhanov.

"We will arrange a flight of the An-124 aircraft tomorrow, and if there is a slight failure in one of the engines, we will ask the gentlemen of the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau to help us find out what the problem is......"

"And I happened to be on site to visit this flight event, so I naturally went into the cabin of this An-124, right?" Without waiting for Kakikhanov to finish speaking, Lin Hongfei said.

The D-18T engine used in the An-124 heavy transport aircraft of the Antonov Design Bureau was produced by the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau.

"Hah...... Lin, you are so smart, and you have the most pleasure to talk to. Kakikhanov gave a thumbs up, "But to explain in advance, I am only responsible for giving you both a common basis for meeting, and whether you can convince Pavel that guy or not depends on your ability...... As a friend, I can tell you one thing in advance, Pavel is not very easy to deal with. ”

"No, I'm the opposite of what you think, I think that Pavel guy will be very easy to deal with," Lin Hongfei smiled and shook his head, "I want you to guarantee that tomorrow's meeting will be pleasant." ”

"Hmm......" Kakikhanov was stunned, he knew best what that guy from Pavel was like, and tomorrow's meeting would be pleasant? Where did Lin Hongfei get such confidence?

He wanted to lead the topic to this aspect, but helplessly found that Lin Hongfei had no intention of talking to him about this matter at all, whenever he finally brought the topic over, Lin Hongfei pretended to be crazy and stupid to lead the topic aside, and finally had to give up helplessly...... Anyway, I'll see it tomorrow, right, since that's the case, there's no need to be in such a hurry.

————————————————————————

Because of various reasons, especially Russia's constraints, Ukraine can not sell the An-124 heavy transport aircraft, but this does not prevent the Antonov Design Bureau from showing the powerful performance of this aircraft: Guqi Provincial Airlines has exerted the cargo capacity of this cargo to the extreme, and in a short period of time, the domestic cargo aviation market has been divided by more than half of the Guqi Provincial Airlines, relying on the An-124 leased from the Antonov Design Bureau.

The An-124, which still has a range of 4,300 kilometers with a full load of 122 tons of cargo, is enough to ensure that even if it is fully loaded, this aircraft can fly from the easternmost to the westernmost part of the Republic, or from the northernmost to the southernmost point, and even carry 88 passengers while being fully loaded with cargo, which is another extra amount of money.

Looking at the Guqi Provincial Airlines, which is making a lot of money in China, the Antonov Design Bureau's bowels of regret are blue: it should have asked for more rent in the first place......

The people of the Antonov Design Bureau are not stupid, they also know that don't look at this plane in the hands of Lin Hongfei to make a lot of money, but this is all thanks to the country's rapidly developing economy, otherwise what is this aircraft that can only be in the wind and rain in Ukraine, it will radiate unimaginable vitality when it arrives in the republic, they just want to get a more piece of the pie from Lin Hongfei, in addition, Lin Hongfei's ultra-high strength and ultra-high frequency of use of An-124 make them feel a little distressed, but they don't have the idea of taking back An-124.

Lin Hongfei didn't mind this, the An-124 has the ability to transport large alien structures across the ocean, which is also a good advertising opportunity for him, but when the plane landed, Lin Hongfei immediately rushed forward with a nervous face...... Not only did the people from the Second AVIC Group headed by Lin Hongfei rush forward with a nervous face, but the people from the Antonov Design Bureau and the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau also rushed forward with a nervous face: just now, during the call between the crew engineer and the ground, the random engineer reported that the power output of the engine on the left side was somewhat abnormal, and maybe there was something wrong with the engine.

……………………

"Mr. Lin, we meet again."

When a group of engineers and technicians from the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau began to carry out various inspections, Lin Hongfei had already unknowingly boarded the small cabin of the plane, where representatives of the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau and the Sic Engine Company, headed by Pavel and Ivchenko, were waiting for him.

The only thing that made Lin Hongfei feel a little uncomfortable was that Pavel's tone was resentful, like a little resentful woman whose husband had been on a business trip for half a year after just a month of marriage, and he shivered excitedly.

"Yes, Mr. Pavel, Mr. Ivchenko, we meet again, it's really not easy," Lin Hongfei smiled and nodded, "Two, we don't have a lot of time, so I suggest that we don't waste our time on meaningless temptations, let's all be frank, the two know what I want, now, please tell me your conditions." ”

Pavel and Ivchenko glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "Mr. Lin, I think you misunderstood, we didn't promise you anything, we just have a common language about some cooperation. ”

"It seems that I am still too optimistic," Lin Hongfei sighed: why do some people always think that they are very good at talking, "Mr. Pavel, let me say this, the life of those people in the Kuznetsov Design Bureau seems to be a little more difficult than the life of you people in the Zaporosh Progressive Machine Building Bureau...... Need I say more? (To be continued......)
