The words are indeed exciting, and the prospects are indeed good, but a sentence spoils Alexei alive. The atmosphere that Tupolev managed to create.

"But, boss, we don't have money, we need a lot of money to build this plane, and now our Tupolev Design Bureau can't even come up with $1 million," someone muttered softly, "Even if we have money, we still have to worry about whether the supporting enterprises can keep up, and even if the supporting enterprises can keep up, there is still a very serious problem...... Now that Russian airlines are too late to lay off staff and cut routes, will they buy our new planes? ”

He didn't say anything about the American market and the European market, but everyone understood what the guy meant: yes, maybe but in terms of performance and cost performance, this aircraft is a little better than both the Boeing 737 and the Airbus A320, but look at the background and influence of these two companies, in the United States, Boeing is a defense contractor in the United States, there are Boeing people in the state legislatures, Congresses and even cabinets in various states in the United States, there are countless politicians and interest advocates who are cheering for Boeing, this SuperTU-134... … Let's call it SuperTU-134...... There is no chance of fair competition with the Boeing 737, and any of its slightest glitches will be magnified by the Americans, and then exaggerated into a fatal design flaw, even if there is no problem, they will always find an excuse to find faults;

In Europe, Airbus Industries was even founded and developed with the support of the governments of France, Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, Spain, and other countries, and now Airbus planes have just begun to sell well, how can they allow the products of the Tupolev Design Bureau to compete with them?! At that time, it will still be the same as in the American market, waiting for this SuperTU-134 passenger aircraft will inevitably be criticized by countless politicians and criticized by countless Airbus spokesmen for its interests...... It's a sure sight.

Although the whole of Russia is now talking about such illusory things as democracy and freedom, these real elites know that these are all false. Only interests are real, and the Americans and Europeans, who shout "democracy" and "freedom" all day long, will never give up the market for their civilian aircraft to the Russians, and what they want to do with SuperTU-134 is the same as what they did with the Soviet Union, stabbing them to the ground and stepping on countless feet.

In this case, there is only one way left: the domestic civil aviation market of Russia and the CIS, but as the man just said, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the life of the Soviet Union and the CIS countries has become more and more difficult day by day. Not to mention that if the production of this passenger aircraft, whether the companies that support this passenger aircraft can be found, even if they can really be found, now the major airlines are desperately laying off staff and cutting routes, where will the money come from to buy new aircraft?

Just heard Alexey . Mr. Tupolev's words were still full of joy in his heart. The people who thought that the days of Tupolev's hard work had finally passed, and that the past glory had finally returned, were like a down-and-out homeless man who had been trampled in the mud. I just looked up and saw a ray of sunshine. I thought I was finally transferred, but in an instant, the hateful stinky foot landed on my head again, stepping my face into the mud, and the rancid mud blocked my nostrils, making it impossible for me to breathe, and at the same time. A voice full of smugness and arrogance sounded again: "Want to get up? Dream on! Aha......ha

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became frozen.

Everyone is looking at this, which is tantamount to ruining Alexei with their own hands. Mr. Tupolev's Hopeful Bastard: You're out of luck! You're dead!

But to everyone's surprise, their boss, the big boss of the Tupolev Design Bureau, Alexei. Mr. Tupolev was not angry by this, but nodded approvingly, "Yes." Klaas, you're right, even if our planes spend a lot of money to get the FAA airworthiness certificate, the British Civil Aviation Authority airworthiness certificate, and get the ...... Even if we get all the airworthiness certificates we need to obtain, I can assure you. Our planes can't sell Boeing and McDonnell Douglas in the U.S., and Airbus can't sell them in Europe. ”

Alexei. As soon as Tupolev said this, everyone was confused: these bosses all know the way, since the bosses know the way, then why does he say this? Or, what is the boss's way of turning decay into magic?

But this time, Alexey . Mr. Tupolev didn't say anything, he just smiled mysteriously, and his smile was full of confidence...... It seems that it is really necessary to contact the Soloviev Design Bureau.

————————————————————————

Alexei. As the head of the design unit of the oldest civilian airliner and military bomber in the former Soviet Union and now Russia, Tupolev has cooperated many times before, so naturally there is no reason not to know Pillm, the chief designer of the Soloviev Design Bureau.

Pirm and Alexey. Tupolev is about the same, both sons inherit their father's business, Alexei. Tupolev inherited the mantle of his father the elder Tupolev and became the head of the Tupolev Design Bureau, as did Pyrm, whose full name was Pyrm. Sorovyev.

The two have known each other for many years, and naturally there will not be too much politeness before the words. Tupolev Shan Cui went straight to the point, "Pillm, my old friend, I have good news for you, someone is interested in the D-30 engine of your design bureau. ”

If Lin Hongfei had known that this was the first time that the Tupolev Design Bureau had told the Soloviev Design Bureau about his interest in the D-30 engine, would he vomit three liters of blood in anger?

The days of the Soloviev Design Bureau were much more difficult than those of the Tupolev Design Bureau.

Their products are mainly D-20P turbofan engines, D-25V turboshaft engines and D-30 series, PS-90 series turbofan engines. In order for the army to maintain its combat effectiveness, the daily maintenance of equipment must always be done, right? Since the equipment needs to be maintained, it is indispensable to replace all kinds of parts, even if Russia is in the period of "shock therapy", there is a serious lack of military spending, and it cannot afford to purchase new equipment, but the basic expenses for maintaining equipment should always be there, right?

Wrong!

This is true in theory, but it is not at all true!

Now Russia is really poor and crazy, of course, there is military spending, but the ruble like waste paper is not mentioned, otherwise the Russian three armed forces will not cross the sea to show their powers, the navy dismantled warships and sold scrap iron, the army dismantled tanks and sold scrap iron, and the air force dismantled airplanes...... Well, this time it's not about selling scrap iron, it's about selling scrap aluminum.

Can you expect a unit that has dismantled its planes and sold aluminum scrap to have the money to buy new spare parts to maintain its own aircraft? Of course not. So you can fully imagine how hard life is going for the Soloviev Design Bureau: from the beginning of the year to the present, they have received a total of 1 million rubles in financial allocations...... Well, in this era when rubles are like waste paper, a financial allocation of 1 million rubles......

Can you imagine Pirm's hands trembling, and his colleagues are speechless, only in tears? If it weren't for the fact that the reality didn't allow it, Pirm really planned to find a wooden stick and take a broken bowl out of the house to ask for food along the street, but fortunately, hearing the news, Pirm finally dispelled the urge to beg for food, and he excitedly shouted to his old friend, "Huh? Alexey, is any of your airlines ready to change engines? You tell them that no matter what kind of engine they need, we at the Soloviev Design Bureau can provide them with the best. ”

As long as the factory can be opened, everyone will be able to eat...... In this damn age of liberal democracy, there is nothing more important than having a full stomach.

"No, there is a company that wants to buy the patented technology of the D-30 engine of your Soloviev Design Bureau...... "Alexey A. Tupolev smiled bitterly, a little unsure of what to say.

To tell the truth, the D-30 series small bypass ratio turbofan engine is actually a very classic engine in the Soviet turbofan engine series, which has a high status in the Soviet aero engine system, and it is a bit of a woolly bear version of the F-110 turbofan engine, and the versatility is also quite good, which can be seen from the Tu-134, Tu-154 civil aviation airliners and the Il-76 transport aircraft.

This is a fairly large series of engines, and even the engines used on the monster of the MiG-31 high-altitude and high-speed interceptor are from the D-30 series of the Soloviev Design Bureau, but it is the most special model: the D-30F-6 twin-rotor small bypass ratio turbofan engine, the maximum thrust can reach 15.2 tons, a monster alive.

Such a classic engine, and it is also the treasure of his old friend's housekeeper, and now he wants to convince him to sell it to others, just like convincing his old friend to sell his heirloom to others, in addition to the awkwardness, it is more of a feeling: if it were not for the fall of the great Soviet, how could the mighty Soloviev Design Bureau fall to this step?
