Yes, Ottel. Anderson felt that he finally understood the "conspiracy" of the damned Chinese: they did not want to copy the "Black Hawk" helicopter at all, and used the RTM322 turboshaft engine as the power system of their imitation "Black Hawk" helicopter, but they took this opportunity to drive the rolls-Royce company out of the civil aviation power market of the Republic, and their attention to fixed-wing aircraft and contempt for rotary-wing aircraft reached an incomprehensible level!

One of the most important reasons why they had to find a way to get rolls-Royce out of their country was that rolls-Royce and the British government had forgotten to take care of Chinese face...... Damn it Chinese it's better to save face, not only will they lose part of their interests for the sake of face, but sometimes they will even make a completely incomprehensible behavior that loses all their interests for the sake of face, and they have said before that if they can't reach an agreement with rolls-Royce on the project of the "Spey" engine, they will kick rolls-Royce out of the civil engine market of the Republic...... Because they've said so before, but rolls-Royce didn't take care of their face, so even if it's for the sake of face, they will do it!

Damn face!

Ottel. Anderson simply regretted dying, he knew that this was the reason, even if he wanted to refuse, he shouldn't have used such a tough attitude.

Thinking of the Republic Civil Aviation Company, which has ceased to sign new engine parts guarantee contracts with rolls-Royce since last week, I heard that those companies are now actively working with General Electric, Pratt. Whitney, the two rivals of the Rolls-Royce Company, began to come into contact; Thinking of the news that the General Administration of Civil Aviation of the Republic has officially sent a note to Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus requesting to negotiate the possibility of replacing the aero engines produced by Rolls-Royce and its joint ventures that are being used in their aircraft, Otter. Anderson's cold sweat flowed down: if the company's shareholders knew that such a huge, fast-growing market with high hopes had closed the door to rolls-Royce, the angry shareholders would not have to tear themselves to shreds?!

No way! This must be reported to the chairman immediately.

…………………………

Norton vs Ottel. Anderson's words couldn't help but be moved, but he still hesitated.

Or rather, to be precise. The status of the royal knight of the British Empire made him think very highly of himself and was unwilling to make the decision to bow to the Chinese: if he bowed his head, he would be the only royal knight in the history of the rolls-Royce company to bow to the Chinese, how could this be?

"It may seem like this, but so far, this is only the most serious situation you have estimated......" Norton pondered for a moment before finally speaking, "Mr. Anderson, what is your suggestion?" ”

"My suggestion is. Immediately find a way to get in touch with Lin Hongfei's damn bastard through a third party, preferably the Embassy of the Republic in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and we are willing to negotiate secretly about the transfer of the full set of RTM322 engines and the transfer of the 'Spey' MK202 military turbofan engine. "Ottel. Anderson didn't hesitate for even a second, and said immediately.

Such a bow to the Chinese is certainly not what an "upright" gentleman of the British Empire should do, but Ottel . . Anderson felt that at a time when his own money was at stake. Even if it is kneeling to the devil, God will forgive himself.

But apparently. Mr. Norton, Chairman of the Board, does not see it that way. Shaking his head, he shook his head, "No, it's not appropriate...... Well. We can observe for a little longer...... Of course, we can put out a kind voice and make a tentative ......"

This order is really a little confusing, since you plan to stand still and wait and see what happens, why should you let out a kind voice to tempt? But for the British. Norton's decision was a matter of course, and it was a matter of course. Anderson nodded again and again with admiration, "Okay, I'll arrange ......."

————————————————————————

Our ancestors have an old saying, called loyalty and filial piety can not be both, today, Lin Hongfei has thoroughly experienced a modern interpretation of "loyalty and filial piety can not be both": during the Chinese New Year, not only can he not accompany his wife and parents to spend the New Year together, but he even has to stare at the factory with wide eyes, which is really ...... It's exciting and exciting.

Well, of course, what makes people look forward to and excited is not that you can spend the New Year alone, but this behemoth in front of you: the version of the TU-134B after the modernization and deep modification, optimization and weight reduction: Beijun 100!

High-precision parts shipped from high-precision machining centers in the United States and Europe. Whitney supplied the JT8D-200 turbofan engine, Rockwell. Collins offers a complete avionics system, a data bus system, and a modern cockpit consisting of four color cathode ray tube displays...... When all of this comes together, it becomes this behemoth that stands in front of everyone's eyes.

That's right, today is the day when the prototype of the North County 100, a jet defined for large feeder/small trunk use, has been officially assembled and the first run-run experiment has begun...... In fact, it was assembled a few days ago, but before the official test flight, there is still a series of inspection and testing work to be done, so the main thing today is actually a run.

"Mr. Lin, not a single leader of the civil aviation system was invited today, is it a little inappropriate?" Tang Yong said to Lin Hongfei worriedly, "Look, why don't you choose a new date and invite all the leaders who should be invited over?" ”

There is a habit in China, that is, no matter how big or small, as long as it is a thing, then you must ask the leader to cut the ribbon and make a speech, as if it is not so, it cannot reflect the attention of the leader.

Lin Hongfei naturally thought about this problem mentioned by Tang Yong, but he also had his own reasons, "Da Tang, you are too worried, the day has long been determined, not to mention that today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve?" The leaders have been busy all year long, and finally there is an opportunity for the family to sit together for a meal, let's disturb them at this time, don't we take the initiative to find small shoes to wear? This time it's not a test flight, it's just a ground taxi, so let's forget about the leader's business, and wait for the next test flight. ”

"That'...... Okay," things have come to such a point, Tang Yong is helpless, he had to solemnly tell Lin Hongfei, "But Mr. Lin, let's say okay, we must hand it over to me to arrange when we conduct a test flight." ”

"Okay, okay, next time, please don't invite the leaders, please leave all those leaders to you to arrange," Lin Hongfei nodded again and again, he was really afraid of Tang Yong: It's a shame that this guy is still an MBA student at Wharton School, and now he is even more bureaucratic than a bureaucrat, just as he was talking, Lin Hongfei raised his head and glanced at it inadvertently, and saw two foreigners walking quickly towards him, his face suddenly changed, "Datang, help me block these two guys, I'll quickly hide." ”

"I'm not going to help you." Tang Yong gloated and stepped aside, waiting to see Lin Hongfei's joke: Pratt. Representatives of the Whitney Company and Rockwell. The representative of Collins Company came to talk to Lin Hongfei about things, in Tang Yong's opinion, this is a good thing, Mr. Lin, what are you hiding?

Lin Hongfei was speechless: He was really afraid of Pratt in the past two days. Representative of the Whitney Company.

The reason was for this first ground running test, Lin Hongfei gave Pratt, who originally planned to die of old age. The Whitney Company sent an invitation...... In order to ensure the smooth progress of the ground taxiing test and the subsequent test flight and certification work, Ma Lao suggested that Lin Hongfei have been letting the North County 100 aircraft use Pratt during this time. Whitney's JT8D-200 engine, after all, in the in-depth transformation of the TU-134B, Pratt. Whitney has sent its own team of engineers to assist Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to carry out a lot of work on TU-134B, and the results of computer simulation are also that JT8D-200 is very suitable for Beijun 100, for the sake of insurance, it is better to use this engine for the time being, as for the autonomous engine, we will talk about it later.

Because of the previous incident, after many requests to communicate with Lin Hongfei were rejected by Lin Hongfei, Pratt. The Whitney Company had actually completely abandoned the idea, but in just a few days, Pratt. Whitney suddenly received an invitation from Lin Hongfei, inviting them to observe the first ground glide test of the North County 100 prototype produced by his company.

Pratt who received the invitation. The Whitney Company suddenly became excited again: since Lin Hongfei not only invited himself, the prototype for today's ground taxi test is still using Pratt. The JT8D-200 turbofan engine provided by Whitney, does that mean that the two sides still have the possibility of cooperation? Or, is it a signal of reconciliation released by Lin Hongfei?

In order to be able to persuade Lin Hongfei to be able to re-engage with Pratt. Whitney & Co., Pratt. Whitney not only did its best, but even pulled in its own partner, the largest avionics supplier in the United States: Rockwell. The representative of Collins came to lobby Lin Hongfei with him, and did his best to persuade Lin Hongfei to give up the independent use of the engine and use the JT8D-200 engine that is "safer, more reliable, and more fuel-efficient...... is the scene that Tang Yong is seeing now.
