In this era, Ukraine and Russia may be able to resist this temptation at the national level, but when it comes to a specific person, no one can refuse to get a lot of money like $20 million in front of them, especially when the price of getting this $20 million is just to secretly copy a copy of the information they have and give it to each other...... The Soviet Union is dead, the faith in fighting for the Soviets, the belief in giving everything for the country, and the rest of everyone's hearts are freedom and democracy, and in the world of freedom and democracy, money is needed, a lot of money.

$20 million, even in the world of freedom and democracy, that's a lot of crazy money.

"Lin, are you really willing to pay $20 million?" Dmitry, who was breathing heavily, suddenly asked.

"Mr. Dmitry, you should know very well that I am not a person who cares much about money, as long as I feel that I am worth the money, I will not hesitate," Lin Hongfei did not answer Dmitry's words directly, but the meaning of the words was clearly conveyed, "If you have enough capital, even 50 million or 100 million US dollars is not a problem." ”

Dmitry's breathing suddenly became heavier and heavier, and he didn't even have any doubts about Lin Hongfei's words: How could a person who could come up with hundreds of millions of dollars to build the National Air and Space Museum of Ukraine be reluctant to spend money? In this way, in other words, Lin Hongfei's expenditure on this time is not capped at all?!

"I ...... I won't betray my homeland......" It took a full minute for Dmitry to squeeze out these words from his throat, "I won't go to your company to work for you......"

"I can completely understand," to Dmitry's surprise, Lin Hongfei did not get angry, but nodded with understanding. "You stay in Ukraine, when Ukraine has a chance to rise in the future, you can still contribute to the rejuvenation of Ukraine, which is a very noble sentiment, I admire."

Noble sentiments? Dmitry only felt a fever on his face: a person who was about to take out the treasures in his unit seemed to be unable to talk about the word "noble" anyway, but on the contrary, Dmitry did feel that he was very noble in his heart, and he even had the feeling that he was enduring humiliation and lying on his back.

Pretty ambivalent, huh? On the one hand, Pavel was unwilling to betray his country and nation. He is unwilling to abandon his country and nation and take his family to a foreign land to live the life of a "tech slave", but on the other hand, he hopes and desires a better standard of living, villas, private cars, private nannies, luxury life and even private jets. These are the lives that represent democracy and freedom, and they are all what he yearns for......

What to do? It's a real contradiction. But now. Lin Hongfei seemed to give him a solution.

Of course. Dmitry is absolutely not going to admit that, as far as he knows. Those former Soviet scientific research experts who were deceived by the Americans and Europeans did not live so well in the United States and Europe, they were more like a group of slaves, a group of "slaves" engaged in scientific research, although they had the best scientific research and living conditions, but they had no personal freedom. To put it mildly, even going to the toilet has to be monitored, and such democracy and freedom are definitely not what Dmitry wants.

"Okay, Lin. Tell us your terms, as long as you promise not to poach the core personnel of our design bureau, we can talk and cooperate in many aspects. Faced with Lin Hongfei's conditions, Dmitry finally bowed his head.

"D-18T, D-27 paddle fan engine, help us analyze the NK-321 and NK-12MB complete technology and means of production, well, by the way, must help me add an outer duct with a bypass ratio of at least 17 to D-27......" Boss Lin has a lot of requests, and this series of demands is said, not only Dmitry, but even Pavel and Ivchenko's eyes are straight.

Ivchenko said with straight eyes, "The D-27 propeller fan engine is currently the best, most mature, most efficient, and only open-type installed propeller fan engine in the world......"

Before Pavel finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Hongfei, "I'm sorry, I don't like the open propeller fan engine very much, as far as I know, according to the research results of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, the propulsion efficiency of the two-stage counter-duct propeller fan is 7% to 10% higher than that of the open-type propeller fan and the single-stage high-ducted turbofan engine, D-27 is an open-type two-stage counter-propeller fan, and HK-93 is a two-stage ducted counter-propeller fan engine with a bypass ratio of up to 16.6; The 14,440 hp engine of the 27 can be converted into about 10.3 tons of thrust, and the thrust of the HK-93 is 18 tons, and the level of safety and noise control is significantly better than that of the D-2......7 of your Zaporosh Progressive Machine Building Bureau."

From Lin Hongfei's point of view, he is naturally more inclined to the HK/NK-93 of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, especially the HK-93 ducted propeller fan engine, whose maximum take-off thrust of more than 18 tons is comparable to that of the F117-PW-100 turbofan engine used on the US C-17 large transport aircraft, but the fuel consumption is at least 25% lower than that of the F117-PW-100. The cruising speed of the aircraft at high altitude can also exceed 800 kilometers per hour, which is no difference in the speed of transport aircraft powered by turbofan engines, but with the same fuel load, fuel consumption is 25% lower, which means that the range is increased by 25%...... That's the good stuff.

It's a pity that no substantial progress has been made in the previous contacts with the Kuznetsov Design Bureau through brokers, and now is obviously not the time to talk about this, what if it provokes the rebellious psychology of these three guys?

Needless to say, Lin Hongfei believes that these three guys will understand what they mean: what they want is a D-27 paddle fan engine with ducts, don't want to use this "bare" D-27 to fool me!

Looking at Pavel with a smile, Lin Hongfei said, "Everyone, let's talk about something practical, okay?" As it turns out, D-27 isn't my only option, and you're not qualified to ask for a sky-high price. We had a great time working together, and I would like to continue that pleasure for a long time......"

Lin Hongfei didn't say the following words, but everyone understood what this guy meant: if the people from the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau asked for a sky-high price, then he would take the $20 million to someone from the Kuznetsov Design Bureau......

$20 million, Pavel, Dmitry and Ivchenko couldn't help but swallow their saliva, even if they need to be dealt with up and down, at least $15 million will be left in the hands of the three of them, and no one will be $5 million...... That's a lot of money.

"Well, adding a duct is not too much of a problem, but I have a question......" Dmitry hesitated. Xiang Lin Hongfei asked, "Why do you have to add this external connotation?" Is it just to reduce noise? ”

"Of course not," Lin Hongfei shook his head, "I just think that the ducted paddle fan engine is actually quite good for fooling people, and many ordinary passengers are not interested in propeller aircraft." The impression of propeller aircraft is still stuck in the World War II stage, and it is believed that as long as it has a propeller, it is a piston engine that is 'poor, short, and rubbing'. If you use a turbofan engine, you think it's a 'tall, big, high' jet turbofan engine. Propeller planes are backward, unsafe, and resistant. ”

"Unfortunately, it is estimated that 99 out of 100 passengers will think of an open paddle fan engine as a propeller engine, and the paddle fan engine is naturally 'poor, short and rubbing', but it is not impossible to add a case to the paddle fan to install a turbofan. The paddle fan with the duct and the large ducted turbofan are similar in appearance, and the passengers generally can't tell the difference, especially the big duct, which looks like the engine is very awesome. As a result, the originally 'poor, short, and rubbing' paddle fan immediately became 'tall, big, and up'. ”

Of course, if you think that the duct is only used to install a turbofan, it is a big mistake, this product can not only be used to install a turbofan and reduce noise, compared to the open paddle fan engine can also increase the thrust by about 10%, it is indeed a good thing, the only problem is that the cost of the duct is not too cheap, the overall cost of the engine has risen a lot, but the cost is not as expensive as the turbofan, but there is no need for Dmitry to say this.

"Okay......" Dmitry shrugged, but the expression obviously didn't agree with Lin Hongfei's explanation, but it didn't matter, didn't it, as long as Lin Hongfei gave money, but the current priority was ...... "Mr. Lin, your requirements are too high, we need to go back and discuss it."

That being said, Dmitry's tone was much more polite than when they first met...... No one knew that in addition to getting a foreign fortune of $5 million, after being able to get at least $3 million in good news from him every year, there was no way to be disrespectful to this bold boss.

"Of course," Lin Hongfei nodded with a smile, "Such a big thing really needs to be seriously considered...... Can a week give me an answer? You know, I don't like to wait too long. ”

"Half a month," Dmitry smiled bitterly, "there are some actions that must be concealed. ”

"Okay, half a month is half a month." Lin Hongfei shrugged helplessly, indeed, there are a lot of relationships and interests that need to be coordinated, half a month...... It's actually pretty fast.

————————————————————————

"Isn't there any news from Andrei yet?" Lin Hongfei, who returned to his booth, sighed, and before he had time to drink his saliva, he asked Wang Guoliang.

"Not yet, Mr. Andrei said soon, and he will definitely give us a result before the end of the Moscow Air Show." Wang Guoliang is also in a hurry, during this time he has not been in contact with Andrei, and he has also made up for the relevant information of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau in aerospace achievements, the more he looks at it, the more shocking it becomes, and now he is similar to Lin Hongfei, between the Soloviev Design Bureau, the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau and the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, he is more inclined to the Kuznetzo Design Bureau...... But this Kuznetsov Design Bureau seems to be a little unfamiliar.

Andrei, that is, the broker that Lin Hongfei met when he first started to do Sino-Russian border trade, this brother's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he is no longer satisfied with making a small fuss on the Sino-Russian border, after several years of tossing, this old man has begun to become a big man in Moscow, and it is said that he has a good relationship with many big people in the Kremlin.

On the first day of coming to Moscow, Lin Hongfei got in touch with Andrei, hoping that this goods could give full play to the role of a "broker" and help him match up with the Kuznetsov Design Bureau.

As far as Lin Hongfei's intentions are concerned, if he is asked to choose between the D-18T turbofan engine and D-27 open propeller fan engine of the Zaporosh Progressive Machine Manufacturing Bureau and the NK-93 turbofan engine and HK-93 ducted propeller fan engine of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, Lin Hongfei still prefers the NK/HK-93 series of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, for no other reason, the core engine of MK/HK-93 is exactly the same, and it saves a lot of trouble in manufacturing. It's just that there has been no news for so long, which makes Lin Hongfei a little anxious.

"Before the end? This time is too flexible," Lin Hongfei shook his head, "Guoliang, you tell him that I need to meet with Mr. Kuznetsov as soon as possible...... Don't think he's a big man in Moscow anymore, there's Yuri. Luzhkov was able to protect him so that he could not take me seriously, which annoyed Lao Tzu, and I don't mind having another person in Moscow become mayor. ”

"What?!" Hearing Lin Hongfei's murderous words, Wang Guoliang shuddered with fright: Yuri. Luzhkov is the mayor of Moscow, and his status is equivalent to that of the secretary of the capital's municipal party committee, not only at the provincial and ministerial level, but also at the bureau level.

Is he crazy?

"Of course I'm not crazy," Lin Hongfei's expression not only showed no signs of madness, but was still very sensible. Luzhkov was a white supremacist, a staunch anti-Chinese in Moscow, and Yeltsin's supporter, right? ”

"Zhilu Dao." Wang Guoliang nodded, a little puzzled by what Lin Hongfei meant.

In the 1991 "VIII. 19" incident, Yuri. Luzhkov firmly stood on Yeltsin's side and became Yeltsin's hardcore confidant, as long as he has studied the political scene of Russia before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, how can he ignore such a number one person? (To be continued......)
