"Mr. Lin, I can't afford what you say, I'm a sick retired old man now, you are a big designer who makes our country's automobile industry famous abroad," Ma Lao said to Lin Hongfei jokingly, "I'm going to ask you for a bowl of rice." ”

"Huh?" Lin Hongfei was stunned.

Lin Hongfei didn't know if Ma Lao was really retired, but even if he really retired, as the chief designer of Ma Laoyun 10, even if he didn't do anything, the country would have to support him, and at worst, he would have to hang a consultant or something like that under an aircraft factory...... It depends on whether the old man is willing or not.

But now, what's going on?

Old Man Ma didn't give Lin Hongfei too much time to think about it, and suddenly, Old Man Ma's gaze at Lin Hongfei became sharper, and his eyes were blazing and asked Lin Hongfei, "Comrade Xiaolin, I heard that you bought the patents for the Tu-134 passenger plane and the Il-62 passenger plane from the Soviets?" Are you going to ask the people from the Tupolev Design Bureau to help you expand the Tu-134 to about the same size as the Boeing 737, and also import their PS-90 engines from the Solovyov Design Bureau? Why are you doing this? ”

Although the Soviet Union has collapsed, it is still customary for the Russians to be called Soviets.

"Well," Lin Hongfei was not surprised that Old Man Ma was able to know this information, but he couldn't figure out what Old Man Ma meant for a while, and in the face of the old man's sharp eyes, Lin Hongfei had to say vaguely, "I think that selling airplanes makes more money than selling cars, and now the company's finances are a little tight, and I plan to make more money by getting off the plane...... You may not know it, but I'm getting married in less than two months, and it's going to be a lot of pressure to support my family. ”

"Nonsense!" Dongfang Zheng's face instantly turned black, and Lin Hongfei's answer made him feel extremely embarrassed: Is my girl so difficult to raise?

As for Dongfang Xiaoling. I was so ashamed that I wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"Ha Lu haha......" To Lin Hongfei's surprise, hearing Lin Hongfei's answer, Old Man Ma actually laughed loudly, his smile was simply very happy, "Interesting, interesting, so interesting......"

After laughing, Old Man Ma's smile suddenly closed, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden, "Boy." Have you forgotten what I do, old man? Do you make money making airplanes? Of course, to make money, look at Boeing, how much money does it make a year just by selling civil aircraft? But do you want to make money to support your family? ”

He shook his head and couldn't help but smile, "Ha Lu Ha...... You bully the old man, my brain is not good? How much did we spend when we were doing Yun 10? How much does it cost you to ask the people from the Tupolev Design Bureau to help you change the drawings - 134 this time? Not to mention that you are planning to introduce PS-90 engines from the Solovyov Design Bureau...... PS-90 Lao Maozi will never be able to sell it to you. As was the case in the USSR, the D-30KU or D-30KP series was still possible. Brat. Finish doing these. You have to spend at least tens of millions of dollars, plus the purchase of production equipment, and you don't even think about it if you don't have a few hundred million...... Tell me, do you kid want to get airplanes? Big planes?! ”

Speaking of "big planes?!" At the time of these words, Old Man Ma was already standing in front of Lin Hongfei at some point, and his face was in front of Lin Hongfei. It is estimated that Lin Hongfei's face is not even 10 centimeters away, and a pair of eyes are as sharp as an eagle looking for prey, staring at Lin Hongfei's eyes tightly...... Lin Hongfei even doubted that these eyes could see the bottom of his heart.

In fact, these eyes did see the bottom of their hearts, because no one had ever thought they were going to do that before. He had never said it to anyone, but Old Man Ma had guessed what he wanted to do based on the information he had in a few words...... Sure enough, he is the chief designer of Yun 10.

The expression on Dongfang Zheng's face was frozen there...... It's as if time has stood still at this moment.

When Mr. Ma took the initiative to come to him and asked him to meet his son-in-law, he was still a little strange, but although Mr. Ma did not hold any positions in the party and government, he was a person that many people admired. After all, Mr. Ma used to be engaged in airplanes, but now, when Mr. Ma asked this sentence, he had only one thought in his heart: this would not be true! This can't be true...... Right?

"This ......" Lin Hongfei didn't expect Old Man Ma to ask so directly, but in the face of such a person who almost broke out of the hands of death and had worked hard all his life for the big plane of the republic, let him tell lies, he really couldn't do it, facing Old Man Ma's close face, Lin Hongfei smiled bitterly, "I really don't have any confidence, I just plan to try......"

"That's enough!"

Without waiting for Lin Hongfei to finish speaking, Old Man Ma interrupted him excitedly, "It's good to dare to try, it's good to dare to try...... Comrade Xiaolin, can you add a job to the old man? ”

"You ......" Lin Hongfei's eyes widened in an instant!

Although he had this idea vaguely in his heart before, this idea was not realistic at all, he didn't even have the heart to let this idea show a little bit in his heart, and he pressed it in the deepest part of his heart, but now, this idea turned out to be true!

"Old man, I think I'm still young and can still do something," facing Lin Hongfei's gaze, Old Man Ma nodded affirmatively, "If you don't dislike it, some of my old colleagues, old subordinates, or something, plan to go to your company to support the elderly, what do you think of the kid?" ”

"I ...... Sweep the couch to greet each other...... Blooming ...... I ......" Lin Hongfei was so excited that he couldn't even say anything, at this moment, he only felt as if he was dreaming, but if he was really dreaming, then let this dream last longer, it is best not to wake up for the rest of his life.

Old man Ma was also very excited, pointing at Lin Hongfei and said to Dongfang Zheng, "Secretary-General of Dongfang, since you kid exchanged the more than 20 Il-76, An-22 and An-124, An-12 planes from Ukraine and Belarus for our army, I began to pay attention to him, and I won't tell you, in the past half a year, if I hadn't seen hope, the old man might have really gone to see Marx, now it's good, it's okay now, our big plane has hope again......"

Speaking of this, the old man patted Dongfang Zheng's shoulder vigorously, and his face was already full of old tears.

Dongfang Zheng is also embarrassed, he belongs to the firm opposition to Yun 10 dismounting, but when Yun 10 dismounted, others spoke softly, and it was useless to say anything, so he could only sigh in vain.

But Dongfang is after all a member of the cabinet of the republic, the secretary general of the cabinet, in other words, he is a small group of people closest to the core of the pyramid of power, a real politician, since he is a politician, he can't be simply swayed by his feelings, after the initial sigh, as a politician's instinct made him immediately begin to think about the difficulty of his son-in-law to do this...... It was not much easier than landing on the moon, and even the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Company could be dragged down by his approach, which was the conclusion he quickly came to conclusion.

"Boy, do you know what it means for you and your company to do this?" Thinking of this, Dongfang Zheng frowned and asked Lin Hongfei.

From a personal point of view, of course, he hopes that the republic will have its own big plane, and if it can fly from the hands of his son-in-law, it will of course be the best, but in practical terms, not to mention the difficulty of this, it is too difficult to get the country to accept this.

"Mr. Lin knows very well," without waiting for Lin Hongfei to open his mouth, Mr. Ma snatched Lin Hongfei's words, "so he bought the patents and all the design materials of the Tu-134 and Il-62 aircraft, so that the research and development costs alone will save at least hundreds of millions, and we will improve on the basis of these two aircraft in the future. We just can't do it ourselves, we have to let Boeing replace it by ourselves, and we don't talk about it like a thief, at least $100,000...... As long as this time Comrade Kobayashi can really buy the patent for the D-30 engine from the Solovyov Design Bureau. ”

Can it be like this? Dongfang Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't understand the technique, so he had to set his eyes on his son-in-law.

Facing the eyes of his father-in-law, Lin Hongfei shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "The old man said everything I wanted to say...... I would like to add that in about 5 years, we will only do small and medium-sized aircraft, and large aircraft will only do related design and research work. ”

"Are you optimistic that there will be a big change in the domestic understanding of large aircraft in 5 years?" Dongfang Zheng keenly grasped the main point of his son-in-law's words.

Lin Hongfei did not answer directly, but said, "In fact, some people regret it now, and the main leaders at the top are collectively regretting it, but now there is a lack of an opportunity to change, after all, it was a collective decision to get off the horse and move 10." ”

Of course, Lin Hongfei will not say that the crisis that almost broke out in the Taiwan Strait three years later was the beginning of the opportunity, but it was enough.

"That's why you started to build small planes, make good friends with the civil aviation system, argue with the military industrial system, and build a good relationship with the military?" Dongfang Zheng looked at Lin Hongfei with blazing eyes, and instantly made up what Lin Hongfei had done before and after and these things...... Lin Hongfei really wanted to tell him: Dad, you really think too much, I really didn't think that far at first.
