"Brazil is talking about a critical moment, and you want me to go back now?" Lin Hongfei suddenly frowned, in Lin Hongfei's opinion, this negotiation with the Brazilian is far more important than the engine deal with the British.

"Come less! Come back quickly," Zhu Qicheng refused, "Don't think I don't know what your idea is...... You've been thinking about the TRM322 turboshaft engine from rolls-Royce for a long time, right? Tell you, if you dare not come back, don't think about the idea of playing the RTM322 engine! ”

No matter what Lin Hongfei talks with rolls-Royce, there is a fact that cannot be changed, that is: RTM322-9 turboshaft engine and final reducer as a standard military equipment, the introduction and production of its technology must be under the strict control and planning of the state, Lin Hongfei wants to introduce the RTM322-9 turboshaft engine and final reducer technology into the second group of AVIC, but if Lin Hongfei stays in Brazil to make up for it, It is inevitable that other people will have a bad idea: the Republic is not only the second group of AVIC, but also the first group of AVIC next to it.

"Tsk......" Now it was Lin Hongfei's turn to have a headache, "What about Brazil?" The cooperation with Embraer is also an important foreign military and economic cooperation project of our country, why don't you give me a solution? ”

"Hiss......" Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Zhu Qicheng suddenly had a headache.

Lin Hongfei is right, the cooperation with Embraer can be called the largest and most important foreign cooperation project of the Republic this year, which belongs to the project personally named by the central leaders and must not go wrong on our side. The central leadership seems to be unable to explain something.

Both sides are inseparable from Lin Hongfei, and this is troublesome.

"Or else. I simply told rolls-Royce to transfer the RTM322-9 turboshaft engine and final drive to our company for £1 million per unit, plus a nominal price of £1. Director, what do you think? I guess the British will definitely agree to this condition. Lin Hongfei began to play tricks.

"How can this be?!" Zhu Qicheng almost jumped up! "The British must cut prices! The price must be reduced! ”

If it weren't for Lin Hongfei's words just now, the price of 1 million pounds, Zhu Qicheng would feel that the republic was earned, but now, the situation is different.

It doesn't work like this, it doesn't work like that, Lin Hongfei was a little annoyed. "That'...... Director, give me the best of both worlds, without delaying the negotiations on the Brazilian side or with the British, you are such a powerful leader. There must be a way to solve this contradiction, right? ”

"Lao Tzu has a fart solution!" Facing the scoundrel Lin Hongfei, Zhu Qicheng had no tricks. Helplessly, he burst into a foul mouth. "Wait! Lao Tzu went to see what the central leaders had to say! ”

Since neither the left nor the right is either, it is better to let the central leaders make a decision and save trouble.

…………………………………………

While waiting for Lin Hongfei, in fact, the official reply of the Republic and the reply of the rolls-Royce company to Lin Hongfei's request, Scott. Ernest was not idle, knowing that Lin Hongfei was going to cooperate with Embraer. Suddenly it dawned on you that this might be a good business opportunity?

If you take advantage of this opportunity, you can at least secure your position as a director of Rolls-Royce, right?

"Mr. Lin, I think. We at rolls-Royce can help you with your company's cooperation with Embraer. "Scott. Ernest went straight to the point and said to Lin Hongfei, not subtle at all.

For Scott. Ernest's implicitness, Lin Hongfei doesn't mind, he cares more about Scott. The meaning of Ernest's words was to say with interest, "For example? ”

"We can provide you with engine support, and in the future, when your aircraft apply for World Bank certification in Europe, we at rolls-Royce can also help." Scott. Ernest said bluntly, basically telling Lin Hongfei directly, as long as you use our rolls-Royce company's aero engine, our rolls-royce company will use its influence to help you go through the back door in Europe.

As a director of rolls-Royce, Scott. Ernest was well aware of the enormous influence that rolls-Royce had throughout Europe, although on the American continent, because the U.S. government had a strong influence on Pratt. The favoritism of Whitney and General Electric has led to a much lower market share of Rolls-Royce than these two companies, but in the European aero engine market, Pratt. Whitney and GE have a lower market share than rolls-Royce...... The influence of the Empire, which had been rampant in the world for centuries, was not so easy to dissipate after hundreds of years of operation and accumulation.

Say it to Scott. Ernest's proposal is not impressed, Lin Hongfei said tentatively, "But after the cooperation, Embraer's main business will be general aircraft, business jets and regional aircraft, these aircraft use aero engines are all small thrust engines, in this regard, rolls-Royce seems to lack some ...... Accumulate. ”

"Yes, it seems that this is the case now, and the market for aero engines under 5,000 kg thrust is really not being taken seriously by rolls-Royce," said Scott. Erneth nodded, for this "inadequacy" of rolls-Royce, Scott. Ernest is not shy about it, "We don't insist that your company must use our engines, I know that your company also produces its own engines, and we hope that in the future, when your company selects engines for your aircraft, Rolls-Royce and your company will be listed as one of the only two engine suppliers, and we are willing to help you in any way we can." We also believe that this will help you to develop the European market. ”

For the rolls-Royce company, they pay more attention to the turbofan engine market with a thrust of more than 5,000 kilograms, and the small market for aero engines with a thrust of less than 6,000 kilograms is not taken into account by them at all.

The thrust level of aviation turbofan engines of business jets, general aircraft and regional aircraft is mostly below 5000 kg, but it does not mean that this is absolutely the case, and the engine thrust used in high-end business jets is still more than 5000 kg, such as the now famous Gulfstream IV. The maximum thrust of the MK610 engine produced by rolls-Royce is 5650 kg, or what kind of engine is used, it all depends on what the manufacturer of the aircraft has positioned for this aircraft in the market.

"This ......"

Lin Hongfei hesitated, there was no doubt about it. Scott. Ernest was impressed by his proposal.

Lin Hongfei knew what Rolls-Royce wanted: to be one of the company's two engine suppliers, like AVIC No. 2 Group...... To put it simply. These are some of the civil aircraft produced by AVIC Group 2 and Embraer. Exclude Pratt on engine selection. Whitney and General Electric, in exchange for this "only two" qualification, rolls-Royce is willing to help AVIC Group 2 and Embraer develop pilot production in Europe.

"Bombardier's CRJ-100 is selling well in Europe and the U.S., and it's proven that there is a real need for a small regional jet with around 50 seats, and you've already mapped out the course for your aviation empire before you even set foot in the aerospace industry. For your precise vision, we at rolls-Royce are very impressed! "Scott. Ernest continued, "We've carefully analyzed your plan: using the Y-7-200A fuselage, the North-County 100's wings, tail, and vertical tail structure to develop a 60-seater heavy regional jet to compete with the CRJ-100, and to build a complete product line based on the EMB-145 that Embraer is currently designing, without the extended fuselage. to compete with Bombardier. ”

"It's a good idea, and I think with our help, as long as your products are on par with Bombardier in terms of quality...... In fact, from what we've observed, you have a pretty unique idea when it comes to the interior of your aircraft...... We can help your company share the market in Europe with Bombardier. What do you think? Mr. Lin, think about it, right? "Scott. Ernest's voice was full of temptation.

Lin Hongfei was really impressed, but he had to consider another factor: "If rolls-Royce becomes one of the company's two engine suppliers, who will choose the aviation engine produced by our AVIC Second Group in the future?" Well, by the way, just last month, your company reached an acquisition agreement with Allison Aero Engine Manufacturing Company in the United States, right? It seems that the U.S. Congress has approved it, and as far as I know, Allison is also planning to develop a small turbofan engine. ”

Allison is a long-established manufacturer of high-power turboprop engines in the United States, and if you look at the C-130 tactical transport aircraft, which has been using Allison engines for decades, you can see how powerful and unique this aircraft engine manufacturer is in turboprop engine manufacturing technology.

It's just that Allison is not willing to only do turboprops, it turns out that although the turboprop is fuel-efficient, its low-speed characteristics limit its development and promotion in the civil aircraft market, and they ambitiously launched their first small-thrust turbofan engine: AE3007, an aero engine with a thrust class of 3000 kg.

The 3000 kg thrust turbofan aero engine is the most suitable thrust range engine for jet private jets/business jets, after being merged by rolls-Royce, with the technical support of rolls-Royce, Lin Hongfei is worried about whether his AI-22 can compete with the AE3007?

As for the AI-22, it has not taken out the test machine so far, and the AE3007 has entered the airworthiness certification stage, not to mention this, the more I talk about it, the more sad it is.

"That's what you need to solve, isn't it? Mr. Lin, "Scott. Ernest smiled slyly, "There are always customers who need cheap engines, are you right?" ”

"You mean we only do the low end?" Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment, and understood that Scott. Ernest immediately shook his head and smiled, "Mr. Ernest, even if I tell you, we will do this, do you believe it?" ”

Boss Lin vaguely understood Rolls-Royce's plan: the name of cooperation was actually to cut off the international market of AVIC Second Group. But......

"Okay, I need to think about this, but in principle it should be fine." Lin Hongfei actually agreed.

He agreed? He actually agreed?!

Rao is Scott. Ernest had been fully prepared before this, and even mentally prepared to "fight a protracted battle", but when he heard the words he wanted to hear the most from Lin Hongfei's mouth, he was stunned, so much so that he asked the last thing that should come out of his mouth, "Lin, you should know very well what this means." ”

As soon as these words came out, Scott. Ernest couldn't wait to give himself a few ruthless mouths: This Lin Hongfei didn't know which tendon didn't match the right and made a mistake, and he even took the initiative to remind him? Is my brain broken?

"Of course, I know very well what this means," Lin Hongfei nodded, "Competition!" ”

"That's ......" Lin Hongfei said so, Scott. Ernest became more and more puzzled in his heart: Since you know that we have bad intentions, do you dare to agree?

"Our engines always have to go to the international stage to compete, and it's not bad to get familiar with them now, after all, there is only one competitor now. Moreover...... I produced the plane, and if I was beaten by the rolls-Royce company under the premise of having such a big advantage, it means that we have not done enough and deserve it! Flowers in a greenhouse can't stand the wind and rain. ”

Lin Hongfei's expression was like an eagle that was about to kick his eagle off the cliff...... (To be continued......)
