It's a pity that Boss Lin still didn't hide from the past, and after being delayed for a while, Sean and Hunter had already rushed over.

"Lin, you're not a gentleman's behavior." Sean came up and complained to Lin Hongfei, in the past two days, in order to catch up with Lin Hongfei and discuss this issue, he almost broke his leg.

"Because you p. Hui company has no sincerity to cooperate at all," Lin Hongfei was also a little impatient with Sean's chase, so he simply took this opportunity to explain to Sean, "I'll say it directly, although the thrust of JT8D-200 can meet my requirements, but it is still a turbofan engine with a small bypass ratio after all, and the fuel economy is not good, I want a turbofan with a maximum thrust of about 7000 kg and a bypass ratio of at least 4 or more. Huihepu. Hui Canada doesn't seem to have such a product...... The incident that made me very unpleasant some time ago, until now, you have not made any substantive moves. ”

For the Chinese, this has already been said very directly: you use such backward things to fool me, and you still want Lao Tzu to pay stupidly?! If Lao Tzu didn't have D-36 in his hand, would you be so active?

Sean was speechless.

Lin Hongfei is right, for Pratt, who ranks second in the industry in the world. For the Whitney company, the maximum thrust is about 7,000 kilograms of civilian large bypass ratio turbofan engine products, they really don't have it, not only their Pratt. Whitney didn't, not even General Electric...... If you don't count the CF34-8 that is currently under development...... The only one that has it is the rolls-Royce company, but even the rolls-Royce company, one of the three giants of the world's aero engine manufacturing industry, is not a large-bypass ratio turbofan engine with this thrust level made by itself, but the BR710 series produced and developed in cooperation with BMW and is in the airworthiness certification stage.

Customer's request. As a supplier, I can't be satisfied, and the current problem is really not to blame Lin Hongfei's head, especially Pratt. Whitney's move to stand aside with Citibank when Citibank was sniping on Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. made Lin Hongfei even more angry: Nima, that's how you treat me as a partner?

Speaking from the heart, if this matter is spread on himself, if he has that ability, Sean can't wait to be able to put Pratt. The Whitney Company was smashed, but now it's Pratt. Whitney's salary, of course, was a different matter, and he was still going to struggle a little more. "Lin, we are sorry for the previous incident, but please also understand. Huihe Citigroup is a strategic partner. When they ask, we have to stand with them. Of course. Although this incident is regrettable, it happened after all. Hui Company is willing to give you some compensation. ”

"Compensation?" Lin Hongfei raised his eyebrows, "For example?" ”

"We could have lowered the price of the JT8D-200 to $1.3 million a unit in other ways," Sean said, turning the conversation back to the JT8D. But the expression on his face is called a sincerity, "Our JT8D-200 is very fuel-efficient, compared with the D-30 engine used before the North County 100, our engine is at least 15% fuel-efficient." If you install a full-authority digital electronic control system, this figure can even reach 18%, we have calculated, even if you use JT8D-200, with your country's air load factor, oil price and air ticket price, it is enough to ensure that your company has a profit rate of about 25%...... This profitability is even higher than that of most major international airlines. ”

As soon as he said this, Sean was extremely envious and jealous, the airlines of the Republic are really profitable, he has never seen an airline with such a high profit margin...... Well, it's strange that with such a high profit margin, they can lose money year after year, which is also a big skill.

"It seems that this is the truth......" Lin Hongfei touched his chin, as if he was thinking.

Sean breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, well, just a little relieved, after dealing with Lin Hongfei for so long, he knew too well how difficult this young-looking billionaire was.

Sure enough, he didn't naively think that Lin Hongfei was persuaded by himself The idea was correct, and the next moment, Lin Hongfei spread his hands and asked him, "But if we use a more fuel-efficient large duct than a turbofan, we can increase the profitability to 35%, who would make more money?" ”

Of course, Lin Hongfei will not tell him that if the large bypass ratio turbofan engine with lower fuel consumption is used, under the premise that the total fuel volume remains unchanged, the range of the North County 100 will be able to reach the level of Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, and the number of seats in the North County 100 will be compared with the seat rate of each flight of the domestic civil aviation company in the advanced section, and it will be found that the North County 100 can not only perform the trunk transportation tasks on the moderately busy routes, but also even the trunk transportation tasks during the non-peak hours on the busy routes. How could Lin Hongfei agree to equip the Beijun 100 with a turbofan with a small bypass ratio?

"That'...... Okay, Lin, please fire your conditions, I promise, as long as we can agree, we can agree. After determining that Lin Hongfei would definitely not adopt JT8D, Sean represented Pratt. The Whitney Company turned over its own hole cards.

"Yes, Lin, I also hope that we can cooperate well, and we can all earn money together." Hunter also nodded along with him, for these companies in the aviation industry in the United States, they are naturally allies, and it is of course excellent to be able to convince Lin Hongfei.

"Huh?" Lin Hongfei glanced at Hunter, "If the cooperation can be successful, Rockwell. Can Collins get a 20% discount on what the Collins Company sells us? ”

20% off?! Hunter suffocated: For Boeing, Lockheed. Martin is a traditional customer like Rockwell. Collins can certainly give discounts, but for your company? We've only had this business so far, and quickly shook his head, "I can't be the master of this." ”

"Since you can't be the master, then you still persuade me?" Lin Hongfei snorted, "With you. It's not impossible to cooperate with Hui Company, but you need to show some sincerity that is enough to impress me...... $1.3 million a JT8D-200, is it cheap? Boss Lin was very dissatisfied with the price that Sean had just quoted for him, and after talking to Hunter, he turned his head and said to Sean, "The price of our D-36 is like this, and it can also support the progress of our company's engine technology...... Think about it, I hope you will really show your sincerity this time and be less careful. ”

After speaking, he pushed the two of them away and walked in the direction of the runway: there, with the support of several power trucks, cold air trucks and other ground support vehicles, the North County 100, which was doing the most difficult inspection, had completed the inspection work, the power supply truck and others had begun to evacuate, the engine had started to warm up, and the characteristic whistling sound of the turbofan engine made everyone present nervous.

"I ......" Sean is still a little unwilling, since Lin Hongfei is relieved today, he has been forced to go crazy by the company and Lin Hongfei during this time, and his mentality is a little unbalanced, and he even plans to continue to discuss this issue with Lin Hongfei, "Mr. Lin, we ......"

"Mr. Sean, today is the imbalance of our aircraft's first ground taxiing experiment, which means a lot to our company...... I mean, you get it? Lin Hongfei turned his head violently and stared at Sean with extremely fierce eyes, "Today is of great significance to us, I want to ask for a lottery, so I gave you a chance, but I hope you don't let this opportunity slip out of your hands by yourself!" ”

"I ...... Is it ......" Sean was stunned by Lin Hongfei's sharp gaze, he never thought that a person's gaze could be so sharp, that gaze was as straight as a knife, like a burning red knife inserted into the cream and penetrated into his heart.

"That's good!"

"Ma Lao, what's the situation now?" Coming to the old man Ma, who was in abnormal spirits and was getting younger and younger, Lin Hongfei asked softly, at this time, Lin Hongfei was inevitably nervous, although he could directly talk to the pilot who was already on standby in the cockpit, but out of respect for Ma Lao, he still asked Ma Lao.

"Everything is normal," Ma Lao's eyes were solemn with a touch of fanatical excitement, pointing to the professional testing equipment and instruments in front of him and said to Lin Hongfei excitedly, "Mr. Lin, you see, the power system, cockpit pressurization system, control system, hydraulic system, avionics system...... All of these digital changes in the system are within the design requirements, and I don't think it's likely that today's tests will fail. ”

Although the ground taxiing test is the least risky and least likely to cause accidents among all the flight test tests, and the engine, equipment, and technology used in the Beijun 100 are relatively mature products in the advanced world, Ma Lao still did not dare to say too much before he successfully completed today's task.

Lin Hongfei knew that in the most scientific aerospace world, he still had to talk about a little superstition and illusory luck, and nodded, "Old Ma, you have worked hard." ”

"What's the hard work," Old Man Ma smiled heartily, reinvigorated from the shadow of Yun 10, and re-found the goal of his life, and now he lives extremely fulfilling every day, "To be able to see the country's aviation industry develop with my own eyes, the old man, I am happy even if I die, what is this hard work...... Mr. Lin, the most rearly important subsystem inspection is going to be carried out on the plane, so ......" (to be continued......
