"50 TU-154M? 50 TU-204? $1 billion in R&D funding over the next 5 years? That's impossible! Lin Hongfei slapped the table heavily, and the whole person was blushing with anger and his neck was thick, "Mr. Tupolev, you are blackmailing!" Blackmail! I will never accept such conditions! ”

In the face of Lin Hongfei's request for the joint development of the TU-204 medium aircraft, Alixie. On behalf of the Tupolev Design Bureau, Tupolev put forward his own conditions: joint development, of course, is possible, but the precondition is that the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Company must undertake to purchase no less than 50 TU-154M and the same number of TU-204 aircraft, and in addition, all research and development costs must be provided by the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Company...... As for the issue of joint research and development of the D-90A engine? I'm sorry, this is a prerequisite, only if we agree to this condition, we will discuss the joint research and development of the D-90A engine, and there is no guarantee that we will agree.

Not only Lin Hongfei was blushing and thick-necked, but even Maria and Yaroslav felt that the conditions proposed by Tupolev were a bit excessive. Maria and Yaroslav were not surprised by the conditions put forward by Tupolev: they did not feel that there was anything wrong with the conditions proposed by Tupolev, on the contrary, in their opinion, now that they have an opportunity to slaughter Lin Hongfei, they are really sorry for themselves if they don't slaughter them ruthlessly...... In terms of taking advantage of the fire to rob and being ruthless, Lao Maozi has "rich" experience in struggle.

For example, when we and Lao Maozi bought SU-27 fighters, Lao Maozi forcibly matched a batch of TU-154M passenger aircraft: Do you want to buy SU-27 fighters? OK! But it must be paired with these TU-154M airliners, we don't just sell! I haven't discussed this yet!

So the republic could only obediently agree to this plan for sale. No way, who made the SU-27 fighter so important for alleviating the international situation facing the republic.

"Disagree?" Alexei. The old god Tupolev looked at Lin Hongfei with a smile, and he didn't seem to be worried that Lin Hongfei would not agree, "Lin, I can't think of a reason why you don't agree...... I know that you have now invested in one of your country's airlines, if your airline's planes are all products developed by us, not only in terms of cost, but also in personnel training, logistics and many other aspects than the products of the Americans and Europeans, why do you turn a blind eye to so many advantages, but do not agree to my conditions? In my opinion. That's just 100 planes in total, which is not a lot compared to your country's huge population base. ”

"That's right," Lin Hongfei sneered, "but for your company's ability in terms of logistics support." I myself am very skeptical: our country has also purchased a lot of TU-154M, but it has not been able to achieve timely and effective supply of spare parts...... Because some spare parts and consumables cannot be supplied in time. Our aircraft are not being maintained in a timely and effective manner. Some problems have already arisen, and we have not protested to you once or twice for this, Mr. Tupolev will not be ignorant, right? ”

Lin Hongfei is telling the truth, compared with the international aircraft with the same carrying capacity, although the TU-154M is much cheaper, but the after-sales service and spare parts supply is really not flattering. At present, the airline of the Republic that has a TU-154M has had to ground a TU-154M because it cannot get a timely and effective supply of spare parts, which is used as a backup source for other TU-154M parts: when the spare parts on other aircraft need to be replaced. Just take it off this plane and replace it.

This is actually the reason why the TU-154 series aircraft was comprehensively cleaned up by the aviation industry of the Republic later: but in terms of the quality and performance of the aircraft, this aircraft is still good, even if the comfort and fuel economy can not be compared with the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737, but considering its low price, it is not impossible to convert it into a cargo aircraft, but the poor after-sales service and spare parts supply seriously pulled the back legs of this aircraft. Finally, the civil aviation enterprises of the Republic of China, which could not stand the fact that the Tupolev Design Bureau was like a forgetful uncle in terms of after-sales service and spare parts supply, kicked the Soviet-made aircraft out of the door of civil aviation transportation in the Republic: Lao Tzu is fed up!

Even if McDonnell Douglas, Airbus and Boeing are expensive in terms of spare parts and after-sales service, at least they are timely.

"I know, but it's not such a serious problem," Alexey said. Mr. Tupolev obviously didn't think that the question raised by Lin Hongfei was a serious situation, and said lazily, "Lin, you can purchase more spare parts and wearing parts at one time and store them in the warehouse...... Our Russian society as a whole is now in the midst of a drastic transformation, and some situations are inevitable, so if there are any shortcomings, please understand. ”

"Understand?" Lin Hongfei was amused by Tupolev's words, "Mr. Tupolev, with all due respect, I really can't understand this kind of thing, why is the same type of aircraft, Russian aviation companies can get spare parts and after-sales service in a timely manner, we can't?" I don't think it matters much if your country is in the midst of a drastic social change, but you need to reflect on why your European and American counterparts sell the same type of aircraft much more expensive than yours, but the sales are so good. ”

"Lin, if you insist on thinking so, then I have nothing to say," Tupolev spread his hands, it seemed that he had made up his mind, "I can only tell you that this is the best opportunity for your country to develop its own aviation industry, and we are also the only company on the whole planet that can provide you with the technology of large aircraft of more than 100 tons, whether you want to seize this opportunity or not, it is all up to you to ......"

Obviously, such a negotiation environment is destined to be impossible to succeed in this negotiation, Lin Hongfei went away angrily, and the talks of the day broke up unhappily, Lin Hongfei did not even talk to the Soloviev Design Bureau and the Yakovlev Design Bureau for even a sentence and a half!

But for this result. But Maria and Yaroslav were satisfied: you Chinese want to take our housekeeper treasure from us at a free price? How can it be done without paying a little price? …… Well, even if you pay the price, things don't necessarily give you.

…………………………………………

When Lin Hongfei and Lao Maozi were racking their brains, he didn't know that because of his words, there had been a huge wave in China!

SS-18 and SS-24 ICBMs are good stuff, aren't they? Undoubtedly, a good thing!

The TU-160 strategic bomber is a good thing, isn't it? Undoubtedly, a good thing!

D-36 medium thrust large bypass is better than a turbofan engine, isn't it? Undoubtedly, still good stuff!

D-18T high thrust and large duct is better than a turbofan engine, isn't it? Nima! If that's not a good thing, then what's good?

UGT-25000 large marine gas turbine is a good thing, isn't it? What about the "Bison" super-large hovercraft? And what about ultra-long-range cruise missiles? What about airborne long-range cruise missiles?

Great stuff! It's all good!

But alas. While drooling over these things that were out of reach before, the price paid for wanting to get these good things also gave the high-level of the republic a headache, and some leaders even "hated" Lin Hongfei: What do you say you kid is tossing? If you hadn't tossed so much, we wouldn't have been so entangled. But looking at these good things, we can't get them...... Tangled! The tangled intestines are all tied into bows inch by inch.

Stuff is certainly a good thing. But the faces of the Americans and Europeans cannot but be seen. Ukraine and the republic do not have a border, and the conditions offered by the Ukrainians are clearly asking the republic to provide a political asylum, but it is nearly 10,000 kilometers away, does this political asylum provided by the republic?

Thinking of this, the leaders have more and more headaches: what to do?

Everybody knows it. Don't look at Kravchuk's three conditions, but it's not a matter of money, for the current republic, although it is still very poor. But they can still get this money, and their headache is the political demands that Klovchuk made in it, which is the most headache.

Lin Hongfei did not come up with a result in three days in Moscow, and the republic also did not discuss a result in three days.

"Wouldn't it? Didn't even come out with a basic intention? On the plane from Moscow to Kyiv, Lin Hongfei, who received this call, was taken aback!

"It's not that there is no intention, of course the intention is to get all these things back." Dongfang smiled sneeringly...... This is the first time that the deputy head of Dongfang has been so "low-key" in front of his son-in-law. ”

"And what do you want me to talk to Mr. Kravchuk? Tell him we want what you Ukraine has, but we can't make promises? Lin Hongfei was speechless for a moment: This is also called an opinion? Please, could you provide something that has practical reference value? That's!

"That's not something I need to think about, now that the central government has decided to let you complete this task, it's you who needs a headache." In front of his son-in-law, Dongfang Zheng made up his mind to be a scoundrel.

"No talk!" Lin Hongfei was also angry, "In this world, there is no reason why the horses don't have to graze and the horses run fast, Dad, don't use excuses such as national righteousness and political tasks to pressure me, whoever can do this will take over, anyway, I don't think I have this ability, and if I don't have enough support, it's useless to say anything." ”

After speaking, Lin Hongfei hung up the phone with a "bang......", which was the first time he took the initiative to hang up his father-in-law's phone.

Dongfang was dumbfounded and looked at his "beep-......" phone, and didn't react for a while: This stinky boy dares to hang up Lao Tzu's phone?!

————————————————————————

"Mr. Lin?" Kakikhanov looked at Lin Hongfei expectantly, hoping that Lin Hongfei could give him a positive answer.

But Lin Hongfei's reaction disappointed Kachikhanov: he twisted his head to the side, as if he didn't hear Kakikhanov's words, but the guilt on his face did not hide from Kachikhanov.

Obviously, Lin Hongfei did not succeed in convincing the government of the Republic.

"Lin, you don't have to feel guilty," was stunned for a moment, to Lin Hongfei's surprise, Kakikhanov not only did not complain about Lin Hongfei, but took the initiative to comfort Lin Hongfei, "I know that this kind of thing is not something you can do if you want to do it, at least you have worked hard for our things, although it has not succeeded, but we still thank you." ”

"Old Ka ......" Lin Hongfei's eyes were a little red, and he shook Kakikhanov's hand hard, "I'm really sorry, I ......"

"It's okay!" Kakikhanov tried to pick the corners of his mouth, making the smile on his face look a little happier, "At least we can tell that you are our best friend...... Even if we weren't in our current position in the future, you'd still consider us friends, wouldn't you? ”

Lin Hongfei nodded heavily and pursed his lips vigorously, "Yes, Lao Ka, what if...... I mean, if, one day, you are tired and want to retire, if you want, I am more than happy to hire you as a consultant in my company, and I believe that with your political attainments, you can provide me with a lot of valuable information, and it is my honor to have you. ”

"I hope to have such an opportunity," Kakikhanov said, "in fact, I would like to be able to spend time with my wife when I retire in the future...... Now that I think about it, I'm most sorry for her. ”

"I can assure you that if you retire in the future, you will enjoy a treatment that is commensurate with your status and contributions!" Lin Hongfei raised his head violently and looked directly into Kachikhanov's eyes, "It's not just you!" ”

Lin Hongfei is idle, his own hints, Kakikhanov should be able to understand.

Sure enough, meeting Lin Hongfei's gaze, Kakikhanov Ha Lu Da Lu laughed, his smile was full of relief, "If I can, then I'm really happy...... Well, without further ado, His Excellency the President is still waiting for you,"

Seeing that Lin Hongfei was about to speak, Kakikhanov interrupted him, "Mr. President specially instructed me, no matter what, I must invite you to the presidential palace, there are some things that His Excellency wants to say to you in person." (To be continued......)
