"It is unlikely to give up, after all, this procurement was an agreement reached at last year's APEC informal leaders' meeting, and there is a lot of political factor," Sean has also dealt with Lin Hongfei for a while, whether it is Lin Hongfei or the country, he has a certain understanding of the country, plus he has been thinking about this problem during this time, and when he heard this, he immediately said, "But I estimate that they may reduce the amount of procurement punitively...... The total purchase amount of $1 billion will certainly not change, but compared to before, they may show their attitude by purchasing a batch of TU-154M aircraft. ”

What attitude? Of course, it is the attitude of "without you Boeing, Airbus and McDonnell Douglas, Lao Tzu will not eat hairy pigs", and in this way, it is clear to Americans and Europeans that they should not stop turning just because the earth has left you.

Of course, the Republic and the Civil Aviation Administration of the Republic will not buy a single plane, just like Sean said, after all, this is a package of cooperation agreements reached by the leaders of the Republic with the leaders of the US Government and the leaders of the European Union at the informal meeting of APEC leaders last year. You have to pinch your nose and buy it, the Americans and Europeans just make it clear that they can't bully you, and you will only be bullied.

But this absolutely does not mean that the republic does not have any strength to fight back, what they lack is actually just an excuse, but now, the Americans have taken the initiative to send this excuse to the hands of the Chinese: because Airbus and Pratt. The Whitney Company is dishonest in the Republic, they can directly reduce the number of purchases by half, and use the money saved to purchase the aircraft of the Tupolev Design Bureau, then they will only have to complain.

Halving this is extremely bad news for Boeing and Airbus: not only financially. The most important thing is the long-term interests, whether it is Airbus or Boeing, they have realized that the civil aviation market of the Republic is rising rapidly, in the case of the aviation market in Europe and North America has basically been saturated, the civil aviation market of the Republic of China is rising rapidly by Boeing and Airbus as a life-saving straw for their rapid development in the next 30 years, but now, it seems that this life-saving straw has a bad feeling for themselves......

This is a tragedy.

"Very well, Mr. Sean, the analysis you provided is important to the company," His Excellency the Vice President already regretted a little. It seemed that he had done something wrong, and this matter seemed to be quite serious, he waved his hand, "I believe you have rested enough, from now on." You continue to serve as the liaison you had before...... Well, given your excellent ability to work. Your salary will increase by 10%. ”

"Xie Lu Xie Boss!" Sean was overjoyed.

Before, he was given a vacation by the company. But this vacation is not what Sean wants, it can be considered that he Sean was temporarily expelled, and the reason why it is temporary, not permanent, is because before this matter is decided, Pratt. Whitney executives thought perhaps the Sean would be of some use. Just gave him a long paid vacation for two months...... After a two-month paid vacation, what awaits Sean may be to return to work, but it is more likely to be a letter of dismissal.

The company's senior officials understand this. Sean himself understands, but it is useless to understand, in this matter, Sean is completely unable to be the master of anything, but now, the situation has become obvious in the direction that Sean expects, for Sean, this is really unexpected good news.

However, Sean also understood that now was not the time for him to be happy, and the next performance was the key, so he cautiously asked His Excellency the Vice President, "Sir, what should I be done next?" ”

"Next, you have to tell Lin Hongfei that bastard," as soon as Lin Hongfei's name was mentioned, Mr. Vice President couldn't help but grit his teeth, "On the issue of engine prices, we can continue to talk...... For him personally, we Pratt. The Whitney Company has always been respectful, understand? ”

Isn't it just going to bow to Lin Hongfei, who doesn't understand such a simple thing? Sean was sneering in his heart, but on the surface he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, sir, I understand." ”

————————————————————————

Lin Hongfei just used this news to fool people, but he definitely didn't expect that after hearing this news, the damned Russians were really moved.

Because now the hungry skinny polar bear suddenly discovered a fact that they had ignored before: Lin Hongfei is rich, very rich! If you can work with this guy...... Of course, it will not help to alleviate the situation in Russia as a whole, but it will be of great benefit not to alleviate the situation in the Tupolev and Soloviev design bureaus.

Among them, the most exciting is the Tupolev Design Bureau, because there has been news that the Civil Aviation Administration of the Republic intends to spend 200 million to 300 million US dollars to purchase TU-154M aircraft, and now in the international market, the price of TU-154M aircraft is about 8 million US dollars, plus crew training costs, a spare engine plus some commonly used spare parts, if it is a serial procurement, the total price spread to each aircraft is about 11 million US dollars, If it is really an order of 300 million dollars, it is almost equivalent to the sale of 30 TU-154M at one time, which is simply a huge order that they cannot imagine for the Tupolev Design Bureau!

The Tupolev Design Bureau was happy, and the Soloviev Design Bureau, which supplied the D-154KU engines for the TU-30M, was also happy, because the order for 30 would require the assembly of 90 engines, plus spare engines and engine spare parts, the total number of engines and sufficient spare parts would be up to 120 engines and sufficient spare parts...... That's a lot of money!

Russia in 94, it was really short of money, and there was no shortage of money.

Not only is there a shortage of money, but there is also a shortage of various daily necessities and light industrial products.

For Russia now, 300 million US dollars is really a huge amount of money, such as the Russian Komsomolsk aircraft manufacturing complex (KnAAPO) that produces SU-27 fighters, China and Russia signed an agreement on the purchase of 24 SU-27 fighters in 90 years, according to the agreement, this batch of a total of 24 SU-27 fighter jets of the purchase, of which 70% is paid for various food and light industrial manufactured products, and the remaining 30% is paid in international hard currency dollars, which is about 200 million US dollars. Not a penny fell into the pocket of the Komsomolsk aircraft manufacturing complex, the SU-27 was made at the most difficult time for the Russian economy, and because the dollar payment paid by China was too precious, the Russian central government received all the cash and paid the workers in the form of "wages in kind" for canned food and down jackets from barter.

Of course, even so, the Komsomolsk Aircraft Building Complex (KnAAPO) made a fortune as an enterprise that was able to pay wages to workers on time and purchase new machine tools in the difficult period of the 90s, attracting many envious eyes, and the Sukhoi Design Bureau was able to develop more advanced SU-30 series fighters and SU-37 forward-swept wing technology demonstrators on its own without funding from the Russian Air Force, and its opponent MiG's MiG— It was the absence of an aircraft that the 29 fighter was selected by the Air Force of the Republic that caused the company to collapse.

Looking at the Komsomolsk aircraft manufacturing complex to make a lot of profits, the Tupolev Design Bureau, as an important part of the aviation industry of the former Soviet Union, naturally has no reason not to be greedy, but they had no way before, whether it was the TU-22M "Backfire" large bomber or the TU-160 strategic bomber they produced, it was not a military product that could be exported to the republic, and as for civil aircraft, how many were sold?

But now, seeing that such a large sum of money may fall into its own pocket, after listening to the reports of the Tupolev Design Bureau and the Soloviev Design Bureau, the Kremlin immediately decided to invite Lin Hongfei and experts from the aviation laboratory of the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Company Limited to visit Russia.

In order to be able to convince Lin Hongfei, the Soloviev Design Bureau even consisted of the chief designer of its own design bureau Pyrm, the chief designer of the United Tupolev Design Bureau Alexei. Tupolev sent an invitation letter to Lin Hongfei, inviting him to go to Moscow to discuss tripartite cooperation...... They even hinted to Lin Hongfei naked, that they could invite the gentlemen of the Civil Aviation Administration of the Republic to come together.

"What is this called......" Looking at this invitation, Lin Hongfei couldn't cry or laugh.

"Boss, are we going then?" Wang Guoliang looked at his boss expectantly: I heard that this time the Russians arranged a lot of activities that are beneficial to physical and mental health, and they were accompanied by beautiful Russian girls throughout the process...... There are a lot of Russian girls who come to the capital of the Republic to pan for gold, not only beautiful, but also not expensive, and it is less than 1,000 yuan to open a bud, which is really cheap.

Boss Lin didn't know that his second uncle had such an idea, otherwise he would definitely be able to spit on this guy's face, but now, Boss Lin didn't think about this, he was thinking about how to further stimulate Pratt. Whitney, IAE International, and Airbus ......

"Go, why don't you go? If the Russians have invited us so warmly, wouldn't our Russian friends be very sad if we didn't go? ”

Wan Guoliang wanted to vomit on his brother-in-law's face: Russians are sad? Don't you know that after you go to Russia, Europeans will be even more sad? (To be continued......)
