Lin Hongfei does not deny this, as a company that has only been established for a few years, even if Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. absorbs more essence, after all, it is not enough, but he emphasized one more point, "You are right, Mr. Pearson, this is our opportunity to learn." ”

"Uh......"

Michael. Pearson has nothing to say, because Lin Hongfei is right, this is an opportunity for them AVIC Second Group to learn how to do a good job in after-sales, we have no experience? That's not a problem, learning is enough, lack of experience is not an excuse and reason not to learn, you must know that in the aviation industry, after-sales profits are the most lucrative.

"Of course, Mr. Pearson, the PT6A is indeed the best engine in the world, but obviously, compared to our Y-12IV, the performance of the PT6A-27 is somewhat unable to meet our requirements, don't you say?" Lin Hongfei changed the topic and said suddenly.

"Huh?" Michael. Pearson suddenly became vigilant, "Lin, what do you mean by that?" ”

"It's not interesting, this is because I think the power of PT6A-27 is a little lower, what do you think of PT6A-61?" Lin Hongfei asked in reverie.

The maximum take-off power of PT6A-27 is 506 kilowatts, while the maximum take-off power of PT6A-61 is 634 kilowatts, using Y-12IV of two engines...... It is important to know that whether it is PT6A-27 or PT6A-61, they are all members of the PT6 series family, and the diameter of the engine is exactly the same, and the weight and fuel consumption rate are also similar. There are almost no compatibility issues with changing engines, the only question is the cost of the engine and whether it is necessary to use such a powerful engine.

"Are you planning to replace the PT6A-61 engine for your Y-12IV?" Michael. Pearson suddenly raised his eyebrows, and the unhappiness in his heart was much less...... To put it bluntly, whether it is the Canadian Aviation Industry Group purchasing the "green aircraft" from Bingfei and AVIC Second Group to install equipment by itself, or AVIC Second Group exporting Y-12IV by itself. The PT6A series turboprop engines produced by Hui Canada are their best choice, and if Lin Hongfei can sell more aircraft and replace the Y-12IV with more advanced and more expensive engines. Then even if you support Lin Hongfei, it's nothing.

"It's just that there is this plan," Lin Hongfei smiled slyly, "We are also considering the possibility of using our own engine...... After all, in the process of cooperating with Bingfei in the past, you have been in the process of cooperating with Bingfei. Canada has a less than glorious history, and we have to take that into account. And our turboshaft - 8A can fully develop a good turboprop engine. ”

Michael. Pearson was speechless.

Lin Hongfei said that he naturally knew about it, 5 years ago, Bingfei from Pu. Hui Canada ordered 10 PT6A-27 engines. It was originally scheduled to be delivered three years ago. In two years, it was able to be delivered on time anyway, but three years ago, in order to cooperate with the "most-favored-nation status" issue that was discussed between the United States and the Republic that year, the United States Government instructed the United States Government to deliver the "most favored nation treatment". Hui Canada has been delayed for half a year on the issue of engine delivery, also because of this. As a result, Bingfei's four planes were not delivered to the customer on time, and the compensation was a full $3 million...... This means that these 4 Y-12II aircraft were produced in vain, and not a penny of hard-earned money was earned.

General. Hui Canada's handling of this matter is not very glorious, although Pu. Hui Canada explained that there was a problem with several production equipment. But this kind of reason that even a three-year-old child can't be deceived naturally no one believes, but helplessly, for Y-12IV, there are really not many engines to choose from. Hui Canada is an authentic job, but in desperation, Bingfei and AVIC can only endure it...... We don't live on profit anyway.

But after being speechless, Lin Hongfei said another thing that had to make him vigilant: AVIC No. 2 Group was actually preparing to develop a turboprop engine based on the turboshaft-8A turboshaft engine?

It is not difficult to develop a turboprop engine on the basis of a turboshaft engine, and its technical difficulty is much lower than that of turbojet modification to a turboshaft. Hui Canada's PT6A series turboshaft engines and PT6B series turboprop engines are derived from the PT6 series engines.

Michael. Pearson knew that the turboshaft of the 8A, modeled after the Arriel 2C turboshaft engine of Turbomeca, could easily be converted into a turboprop.

"Hah...... Lin, are you kidding? You must be joking, right? We all know that we can't be blamed for that incident, not to mention that we have made some compensation to you. "Michael. Pearson's forehead suddenly sweated, and his voice trembled a little.

Lin Hongfei's words are not empty and undeterrent threats, they are real...... If Michael. Pearson knew that Lin Hongfei had obtained a full set of RTM322-9 turboshaft engines and final drive engines from rolls-Royce, and believed that he would change his mind again: this bastard was already starting to threaten Rolls-Royce. Hui Canada.

"Of course, this is just a joke," Lin Hongfei smiled, "My friend, are you scared?" If so, I'm sorry. ”

"Lin, don't make such jokes in the future, this joke is not funny at all......" Michael. Pearson wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, although he was laughing, his voice was dry, and in his heart, he had already made up his mind to understand whether the Chinese really developed their own turboprop engines on the basis of the Arje 2C!

"No problem, Pearson, I apologize for the joke just now," since he had already achieved what he wanted, Lin Hongfei naturally wouldn't push people too much, he just joked, "But, Mr. Pearson, I'm sure you'll help us expand our new business, right?" ”

"Of course, there is no doubt about it!" Michael. Pearson's steadfastness was as if he really intended to do so.

——————————————————————

One day in May, the luxury business jet TU-134B of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. took off from the capital airport, and after leaving the established course, it turned the nose of the plane and flew away in the direction of the west and north!

Three days later, it was the time for the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to unveil the largest public welfare project donated to Ukraine: the National Air and Space Museum of Ukraine, at this moment that fully embodies the traditional friendship between the Republic and Ukraine, D and the country attach great importance to it, not only today sent a high-level delegation, but also the Minister of National Defense, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission General Hua Qing also sent his own secretary Comrade Jiang Min to congratulate the team.

"Mr. Lin, I'm bothering you this time." On the plane, Jiang Min nodded to Lin Hongfei, but he was very polite.

This time, Jiang Min led a team to Ukraine, in addition to congratulating the official opening of the National Air and Space Museum of Ukraine, the most important thing is to check the implementation of the introduction of gas turbine projects, but except for Jiang Min, other comrades do not know what to say, when they arrive in Ukraine, they will receive new instructions from the Military Commission: to increase the inspection project of the "Varyag" in order to identify whether the Varyag aircraft carrier has purchase value.

"Secretary Jiang is polite, they are all doing work, Secretary Jiang rest assured, we will try our best to cooperate with your work during this time." Lin Hongfei nodded, although he knew that Jiang Min's position was high and powerful, but the two sides belonged to different factions, so it was better to maintain this attitude of respecting and staying away.

Regarding Lin Hongfei's politeness and respectful attitude, Jiang Min also knew what this was for, of course, this was also what Jiang Min wanted to see, and nodded with a smile, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, we are measured." ”

Hearing this, Lin Hongfei breathed a sigh of relief.

He is also really worried that these guys in the military are "unruly" and cause some trouble for themselves in Ukraine.

…………………………………………

When the plane arrived at Kyiv International Airport, Lin Hongfei was a little surprised to find that in addition to the official representative of the Ukrainian government: the first deputy prime minister of the Ukrainian government. Buddhist nun. In addition to the welcome delegation headed by Masik, Mr. Tang Jindong, the ambassador of the Republic of China to Ukraine, was already waiting at the airport early with the embassy staff.

It's just that after the initial surprise, Lin Hongfei suddenly realized: Also, on this charter flight, he is probably the least important small role, although Jiang Min needs his own cover for their actions, but there is no doubt that the embassy can provide them with more help.

Since this is nominally a business activity of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., it is necessary to have a cover appearance, Lin Hongfei, chairman of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., unceremoniously got off the plane first and held the card. Buddhist nun. Masik's hand shook vigorously twice, "Your Excellency, it's a pleasure to see you, it seems that your spirit seems to be better." ”

"Really?" Lin Hongfei's compliment makes the card. Buddhist nun. Masik smiled brightly, and said with a pun, "Lin, our most sincere friend of Ukraine, I believe that you will bring us better news for Ukraine this time, right?" (To be continued......)
