Chapter 1191 We Must Consider Winning Over More Friends (Third Watch, Second Change)
"Hongfei, you must understand one thing now," Dongfang was looking at his son-in-law, happy and proud, and couldn't help sighing, "Now we don't have the qualifications to pick and choose, no matter whether it's good or bad, only the one who picks up our bowl is our meat, and only by solving the problem of whether there is or not can we solve the problem of good or bad." And ......"
He suddenly winked at Lin Hongfei slyly, "You can also take some other methods, you can't get all the D-30KP exclusive information, and getting some of it can also greatly reduce our development time, right?" ”
"I know what to say," Lin Hongfei was silent for a moment......
I really thought a lot before, and now, whether it is himself or the Republic, he is not qualified to pick and choose, but what makes him excited is not this, but the sentence behind his father-in-law, which can be regarded as his father-in-law acquiescing to some of the key technologies of the D-30KP engine through some "small means"?
In fact, according to Lin Hongfei's previous thoughts, now is the time when Da Mao is the weakest, of course, it is better to do everything: when will you not fall into the well at this time? In other words, some companies and individuals have done a lot of things in Russia, right?
However, at this time, some leaders made a statement, saying that in view of the long-term development between the two countries, they wanted to show Russia the image of a "good neighbor who does not fall into the ground at a critical moment," and did not want to destroy the traditional friendship between China and Russia because of certain things.
When he heard these words, Lin Hongfei scolded his mother firmly: In the past two years, have some people done less things that "are about to fall into the well at critical moments"? How did Lao Tzu become "to show Russia the image of a 'good neighbor who does not fall into the well at a critical moment'"?!
If you don't fall into the well at this time, do you think that the Russians will be grateful to you? No! When the injured polar bear recovers and licks his wounds, he will only secretly call you "stupid!" in his heart. ”
But there is no way, he Lin Hongfei said that it doesn't count. Because according to the cooperation plan, if the D-30KP project can be won, the production of D-30KU can be placed in the United States, but the production of D-30KP must be placed in China, at this time, Lin Hongfei must be obedient! But now, the people above are "gracious"?
Dongfang Zheng immediately understood the meaning in Lin Hongfei's eyes, he didn't want to say it, but after thinking about it, he still explained it to his son-in-law. "Some people don't represent everyone, and countries are going to rise and rejuvenate after all, you know what that means, right?"
"I know what to do," Lin Hongfei nodded, and suddenly smiled slyly. "These techniques are in hand, even if they are incomplete. It is also a bargaining chip with others. ”
"It's good to understand this." Dongfang Zheng was very pleased that Lin Hongfei was able to quickly understand this, and the topic suddenly changed and asked Lin Hongfei, "By the way, what are the disadvantages of this D-30 engine with the same thrust level as the Americans?" ”
"Disadvantages......" Lin Hongfei groaned. If there is a disadvantage, it is that the weight of the engine is too heavy and there are too many stages. ”
"Hmm......" Dongfang Zheng answered, waiting for Lin Hongfei to continue answering...... Don't think that what Dongfang is asking is useless. In fact, these are all to be reported to the leaders at a higher level.
"According to the information provided by the Solovyov Design Bureau, D-30KU has a total of 11 stages of compressors, 4 stages of low-pressure turbines, too many stages is a common problem of Soviet aircraft engines, because they do not have high-precision processing equipment, resulting in insufficient precision of the processed parts, resulting in them having to relax some design indicators, insufficient accuracy directly leads to insufficient single-stage pressure ratio, the Soviets adopted a stupid but very effective method: since the single-stage pressure ratio is insufficient, then use multi-stage to increase the total pressure ratio, In this way, the total compression ratio goes up, but the weight of the engine also goes up. ”
"The direct consequence is that the engine is not as powerful as the Americans for the same weight; Or in the case of the same thrust, the engine is heavier than the American engine, and the end result is that the thrust-to-weight ratio of the Soviet engine is not as good as the American engine. ”
"That's much stronger than us......" Dongfang Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly came out with such a sentence.
Lin Hongfei was speechless, this is indeed the truth, so practical that it can no longer be realistic.
"Then finalize this matter as soon as possible," Dongfang Zheng finally finalized this matter, "lest there be many dreams at night, or the same sentence, the meat that can be sandwiched into the bowl as soon as possible is your own." ”
"Okay." Lin Hongfei nodded, but he was a little worried in his heart: The damn Mao Xiong has countless bad deeds that have gone back on his word, this time we promised so happily, Da Mao won't change his mind halfway, right?
————————————————————————
Lin Hongfei, who has finalized the general direction and the entire layout has been completed, finally doesn't have to be as tired as a dog this time. Iacocca spanked, "Lao Li, your term of office will expire soon, does your board of directors plan to send you a large sum of money for your retirement?" ”
"You know, of course it's impossible," in the face of Lin Hongfei's ridicule, Li. Iacocca smiled happily, "But as you know, Chrysler Motors wants to expand its influence in Congress. ”
This is to implicitly show himself that even he Li. Iacocca is no longer the president of Chrysler Motors, and Chrysler Motors will give him considerable support, at least unless Lee Motors is the president. Iacocca lost his bid for Congress, otherwise he would have been supported by Chrysler Motors. Lin Hongfei smiled and asked, "And then?" ”
"The board of directors has made a decision to hire me as the head of a Chrysler automobile-backed foundation after I retire......" He paused, "Lin, you know that, right?" ”
Of course, I know, "How could Lin Hongfei not know what happened to the so-called foundations supported by those big foreign companies?" But for Lee. Iacocca said that this is indeed a good thing, "Lao Li, mine said, congratulations!" ”
"Rejoice and rejoice," Lee. Listening to Iacoca's laughter, it felt similar to that of Maitreya Buddha. "We're all friends...... just said that, Lee. Iacoca's topic suddenly took a turn for the worse, "Since it's a friend, Lin, a friend has entrusted me to ask you about some information, I don't know what to ......do."
"Isn't it about titanium alloy technology and patents?" Don't wait for Lee. After Iacocca finished speaking, Lin Hongfei said directly.
Since the news of the loan of $650 million from Citibank from Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., despite the strict confidentiality agreement, this enterprise from the Republic has the patent and production process of a new Ti6-Al-4V titanium-aluminum-iron five-grade titanium alloy with a cost of only one-fifth of the traditional high-strength substable β titanium alloy. It spread throughout the American industry...... In 1992, the entire United States produced only 12,000 tons of titanium alloy, what kind of concept is this!
In contrast to this unfortunate news, the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Company is going to set up a company in the United States to produce small and medium-sized aircraft and aero engines. It's not a big deal at all! It was directly ignored by the "big shots".
Engaging in aircraft manufacturing and aero engine development is not the most favored by those big people, let them take a fancy to them. It is the technology of Ti6-Al-4V titanium-aluminum-vanadium iron grade 5 titanium alloy in Lin Hongfei's hands, which costs only one-fifth of the traditional titanium alloy. Countless people shouted at the Russians after knowing about this incident: this kind of good thing. Why don't you sell it to me?!
But the problem is that it's too late to say anything, if you want to get this kind of anti-heaven thing, you have to find a way from Lin Hongfei's hands, but Lin Hongfei doesn't enter the oil and salt, no matter how much they coerce and tempt, they are unmoved...... It's not that no one intends to use crooked ideas, but after clarifying Lin Hongfei's attitude. The person who can't see Lin Hongfei's accident the most is the Pentagon, although they are also reluctant in their hearts.
With the Pentagon, the god, in front of Lin Hongfei to block it, Lin Hongfei has a lot less trouble, but this by no means means that no one has Lin Hongfei's idea. The fact is that everyone is still moving forward, and the only difference is that there are fewer people who speak ruthlessly and plan to put pressure on Lin Hongfei through the government.
"Hehe......" Lee. Iacocca laughed twice, which was a tacit acquiescence, but he then hurriedly added, "If you are willing to sell the patent, this friend of mine will definitely offer a price that is not low, and of course, I will not let you suffer." ”
"Did he say that if I don't want to, let me be careful, he's going to make it hard for me to move in America!" Cruel words like that? "Lin Hongfei doesn't seem to have taken Li at all. Iacoca's remarks were taken as a thing, quipped.
"That's not true, we're all friends, how could he do that?" Plum. Iacocca said this in his mouth, but his heart kept sinking: in fact, the "friend" who entrusted himself to convey this meaning to Lin Hongfei really said it, but listening to Lin Hongfei's meaning, it seems that he does not intend to accept this threat. Iacocca simply didn't mention it.
Plum. Iacocca didn't admit it, and of course Lin Hongfei wouldn't expose him, although he knew very well about the temperament of those businessmen in the United States, but at this time, Lin Hongfei was silent for a while.
Before this, he had not had time to seriously consider this issue, but there was one principle that could not be changed, that is, no matter what, this is a big piece of fat, and he can't eat it alone.
It's already very hateful to be able to get such a big piece of fat, if you still eat alone by yourself, it will be too hated, Lin Hongfei has seen countless examples of this, and he knows how miserable the end of those guys who eat alone is; On the other hand, being able to pull in one or several partners with sufficient weight can also indirectly expand the influence of your company in the United States and reduce a lot of trouble for yourself...... If it is a company that has a huge influence in both the political and economic spheres, it is undoubtedly better.
But now, I have to think about this problem: for such a large project, it is necessary to bring in partners, but in what way? How are shares distributed? The most important thing is that this guy has to be influential enough.
But Lin Hongfei was thinking about these questions. Iacocca didn't know what to say, he had tested Lin Hongfei's attitude several times before, so he naturally regarded Lin Hongfei's attitude this time as the same reaction as before, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see Lin Hongfei answer, so he thought that Lin Hongfei was expressing his attitude in this way, and hurriedly said, "Oh, Lin, I'm sorry......"
"No, Lao Li, you misunderstood what I meant, I was just thinking." Lin Hongfei interrupted him. Iacocca is the most likely spokesperson for his interests in the United States, and until there is no alternative, he should be polite to this guy.
Well? As Lin Hongfei thought, Li Hongfei, who has been high in business all his life and is known as the "god of management" by the American business community. Iacocca immediately became keenly aware of the point in Lin Hongfei's words: was he thinking? What was he thinking?
On this issue, Lin Hongfei has never thought about it before, and has always refused simply and neatly, so does his attitude mean ...... Lee, who quickly thought of this. Iacoca's heart suddenly began to jump "......bang, bang, bang", and a sentence blurted out involuntarily, "Lin, I'm happy, I'm glad you realized this." ”
Strictly speaking, as a beneficiary of Lin Hongfei's funding, Li. Iacoca's words were extremely inappropriate, but at this time, he really didn't care about so much, he knew too well what it meant: there was a huge amount of room for maneuver in it! Huge maneuverable space means great benefits!
What could be lovelier than profit? As long as there are enough benefits, don't say it's to help people spread the word, even if it's to make him Li. Iacocca himself went shirtless, and he didn't have any opinion at all.
"I know it, I know it, I need some partners to support each other," Lin Hongfei's words made Li. Iacocca completely relieved, "Lao Li, tell me, who is looking for me?" Don't tell me the names of these intermediaries, I'm not interested in them, you just have to tell me who the final guy is? Is it Timet Titanium Industries, RMI Active Metals Industries, or ATI Allegheny Technologies? I think it must be one of the three of them, right? ”
Just haven't waited for Lee. Iacocca replied, and Lin Hongfei said, "Forget it, no matter which one of them you relays to them for me, firstly, I will not give them more than 15% of the shares, and secondly, they must come up with at least $200 million worth of production equipment, which is a prerequisite."
