Chapter 1534: The Englishman Who Thinks He Is Smart (One Shift Arrives)

Lin Hongfei's threat, Otter. Anderson did not dare to do something wrong, but the Chinese like to "pay tuition" too much, any mistake made by government officials can rely on "paying tuition", and sometimes he really envies the government officials of the Republic, they are simply the happiest group of people in this world.

Looking at Lin Hongfei's incomparably strong attitude in front of the British, the negotiators of Xifei who participated in today's negotiations were all secretly amazed in their hearts: They have been talking with rolls-Royce about the "Spey" MK202 military turbofan engine for so many years, how have you ever seen this cowardice of the British? Let's take a look at Mr. Lin, this is the first time I came to talk to the British, and I forced the British into a corner...... This man is really incomparable.

"Okay, Lin, let's say, what do you want?" looked at Lin Hongfei fixedly, and saw that Lin Hongfei had no intention of backing down. Anderson decided to bow his head, just like Lin Hongfei threatened just now, as long as Lin Hongfei is no longer afraid of the threat of rolls-Royce on the "Spey" engine, the passive are the British and rolls-Royce company: for one of the three giants of the world's aviation manufacturing industry, the rapidly rising civil aviation market of the Republic is too important for rolls-Royce and the British Empire.

"That's right!" Lin Hongfei laughed, and the smug look on his face made Ottel. Anderson couldn't wait to smash the face in front of him, "I don't want much, the unit price of that batch of second-hand 'Spey' MK202 is 1 million pounds, and the trap technique of giving away the RTM322-9 turboshaft engine and reducer, you see, I'm very talkative, right?" ”

"What? RTM322—9? It's absolutely impossible! "At this moment, Ottel. Anderson was a little aggrieved in his heart: Was our ancestors robbers, or were your ancestors robbers?

If the price of the "Spey" MK202 engine is reduced to 1 million pounds per engine. If the rolls-Royce company and the British government are still a little mentally prepared, then the RTM322-9 turboshaft engine and the complete set of information of the final reducer will exceed the expectations of the British in any case: you Lin Hongfei can't be so insatiable!

As soon as Lin Hongfei said this, not only the British were shocked, but even the negotiators of the republic were shocked!

The negotiators of the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. who signed the confidentiality agreement did not know what the RTM322 turboshaft engine meant, but the representatives of Xifei knew too well what the RTM322 turboshaft engine meant when it was also a turbine engine...... When I think of this, there are still many people who want to slap themselves twice: Why did they make such a childish mistake in the first place?

To say that this RTM322 turboshaft is very well-known in the republic, many people do not know it. Its popularity is far inferior to Lao Maozi's AL-31F, the US military's F100 and F110 series military turbofans, and even the popularity of the T700 turboshaft is not as good: the T700 turboshaft engine is still the "queen" engine produced by General Electric for the "Black Hawk" helicopter and the "Apache" armed helicopter, but now it is the RTM322 turboshaft supporting the NH90 medium multi-purpose helicopter that has been advertised all over the world, but has been engaged in for 10 years and has not even built a prototype so far? How many people know about its existence?

Now, the RTM322 is no longer even the "queen" engine of its own NH90 helicopter: General Electric wants to use its T700 and rolls-Royce to compete for the status of the aircraft's supporting engine, for rolls-Royce. The RTM322 turboshaft engine became a sturdy chicken rib.

But the next moment, Ottel. Anderson suddenly laughed. He thinks he has found Lin Hongfei's true purpose. "Lin, I remember that our rolls-Royce company was going to sell this engine to you in '87, and you didn't ask for it, why? And now you want it again? What you want is not a 'Spey' price cut, but an RTM322, right? I heard that you Chinese are preparing to copy the American Black Hawk helicopters. But in the end, it got stuck in the engine. ”

The more I think about it, Ottel. The more smug Anderson became, the more he finally couldn't help but laugh, "That's right. The RTM engine is indeed an engine with similar performance to the T700, and can be used as an alternative to the T700, as long as you can offer a good enough price and guarantee the special position of our rolls-Royce company in your market, it is not non-negotiable. ”

RTM322 is indeed a good thing, this is once the closest to the republic of a high-power military turboshaft engine, in the 80s when we introduced the dolphin helicopter, by the way from Turbomeca introduced the now Zhijiu helicopter use of the Arye 1C turboshaft engine, at that time we played Arye very well, by the way also through the "Spey" MK202 relationship to rolls-Royce glanced at the RTM322 turboshaft.

To the surprise of the negotiating delegation of the Government of the Republic at that time, the other party of the Rolls-Royce Company at that time was willing to transfer the whole package on terms that even poor rabbits found very favorable. This is probably because the RTM322 turboshaft was born too late, and the strength and influence of GE's T700 turboshaft are a bit too strong, but although the TRM322 itself is also a good man, but the fate is extremely bad, just in time for the NH90 medium-sized multi-purpose helicopter project of the five small partners separated, RTM322 sadly found that it was difficult to find a job.

However, the aviation development department of the Republic at that time negotiating with the Rolls-Royce company and the British government was not interested in the RTM322 turboshaft, and proposed to change the RTM322 turboshaft to a turboprop engine for transporting the seven...... Although the TRM322 was developed by rolls-Royce and Turbomeca, the two parties shared the patent rights, and the French side did not object to rolls-Royce if it wanted to transfer the engine's technology to the Republic.

However, the various government departments of the republic in this era went their own way, so the saddest situation appeared: when the aero-engine department went to negotiate with the British on the condition that the RTM322 of the turboshaft should be turned into a turboprop, the civil aviation system also organized a group to go to France, Italy and Prussia. Hui Canada talked about introducing ATR72 aircraft and PW127 turboprop engines from them as a whole, so the RTM322 turboshaft was changed to turboprop yellow: this project was resisted by the civil aviation system.

But then, the civil aviation system wanted to get a lot of money from France, Italy, and Prussia. Hui Canada's plan to introduce ATR72 and PW127 engines is also yellow: Pratt. Whitney Canada agreed only to sell the finished PW127 turboprop engine and did not agree to transfer the technology, while the Italians and French outright refused to transfer the ATR72 aircraft to the Republic...... I don't know what the French and Italians think, but this is a good opportunity to completely destroy the Lucky 7 civilian type.

The most difficult result is that the bamboo basket is empty: RTM322 turboshaft we did not get, ATR72 and PW127 did not get, you know, that is the closest to our cottage success "Black Hawk", the reason why there is no success in copycat out of "Black Hawk", is stuck in the engine and final reducer.

There is a news circulating from the grapevine, it is said that in the 80s, when the introduction of the RTM322 turboshaft engine was about to be negotiated, I don't know how the road was known by the above bigwig, this big guy is very dissatisfied with the abbreviated English letters in front of the RTM322 turboshaft engine: RTM? Isn't that the? Who do you British scold?

So this matter is so unfortunate that we lost an excellent opportunity to obtain the world's most advanced 1500KW to 2200 kW turboshaft engine technology.

But in general, in the final analysis, it was the government of the republic at that time that did not pay attention to the development of turboshaft engines for helicopters...... Until 2005, the state did not pay much attention to the special status of helicopters...... In Ottel. In Anderson's opinion, the reason why Lin Hongfei mentioned RTM322 at this time, which even rolls-Royce was about to forget about the chicken ribs in the back of his head, was probably because his brain finally reacted.

At this time, when will it not be ruthless to pinch the Chinese?

"So there's nothing to talk about?" Out of Otter. Anderson's surprise, Lin Hongfei didn't seem to be angry, just smiled faintly, and asked Ottel. Anderson asked rhetorically.

"No need to talk about it! We will not open negotiations on the cooperation of the RTM322 engine unless your government guarantees the special status of rolls-Royce products in your country's civil aviation sector and guarantees that there will be no change in the £3 million price of each 'Spey' MK202 turbofan. "Ottel, who thinks he has pinched Lin Hongfei's weakness. Anderson looked at Lin Hongfei with a smug face, looking like he was holding the chance to win.

"That's a pity," Lin Hongfei's actions once again surprised Otter. Anderson's surprise, he stood up and waved at the negotiators he had brought, "Comrades, today's negotiations are over...... It is estimated that it will not start again in a short time, so everyone will take a week off and go back to spend time with their families. (To be continued......)
