The next afternoon.

Beijing, in the office of the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

Ding Gaoheng was frowning and looking at the several meeting minutes on the desk in front of him.

Obviously, he was in a bad mood, and the air pressure in the room had become a little lower as a result.

A secretary-like figure stood cautiously nearby, holding a few other documents in his hand, struggling to know whether to hand them over.

As a cadre with a technical background, Ding Gaoheng has a good temper, and even seems to be indecisive in some things.

"You can leave the papers with me, go and rest."

The secretary who heard this sentence finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after gently putting the document in his hand on the corner of the desk, he quickly turned around and left the office.

“TMD…… What a bunch of corpse vegetarian food waste! ”

After the secretary closed the door, Ding Gaoheng slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

The old comrade leaned back in his chair with some dejection, and exploded in an extremely rare way.

It wasn't until the cigarette in his hand was about to burn off that he straightened up again, snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and then picked up the document that the secretary had just placed on the table and flipped through it again.

"Alas...... Day by day, they will wait for it, and the string of self-reliance is probably gone in their minds. ”

Ding Gaoheng shook his head and sighed helplessly.

As the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, there are some things that he cannot decide alone.

Especially when it comes to the civil aviation industry, the problem of multi-headed management is quite serious, although he can rely on his own background, as well as the special status of the Commission of Science and Technology to occupy a leading position, but a ministerial-level unit can not really do a word.

What's more, Ding Gaoheng, a person with a background in precision instruments, has almost no knowledge of international trade and commercial regulations.

Based on his intuition, he believes that as the fastest growing market in the world's civil aviation industry, Huaxia will definitely suffer a big loss if it does nothing in the matter of Boeing's merger with McDonnell Douglas.

But if you really want to say that you can do something, it really doesn't have any idea.

The only thing that makes him feel fortunate is that a few months ago, because of the aero engine stability evaluation standard, he determined the development policy of "focusing on me" in the civil aviation industry, and took advantage of the establishment of an independent standard system to change the focus of the trunk aircraft project in Shanghai from the full set of the introduction of the American civil aviation industry system to the digestion and absorption technology, as well as the summary and accumulation of large civil aircraft assembly and manufacturing experience.

Because of such changes, a huge investment of nearly 1 billion yuan was stopped, which can be regarded as recovering some losses.

Just as he was agonizing over this, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in!"

Ding Gaoheng took two deep breaths and prepared to put away the documents on the table.

It's just that this action stopped halfway through.

It was naturally his secretary who pushed the door open.

But there were two other people standing outside.

One of them is Duyi Mountain.

He was followed by a young man dressed inconspicuously, wearing a work uniform that seemed to be issued by the aviation industry.

Although I hadn't seen each other before, it was not difficult to guess the identity of the other party.

"It's Lao Du."

Ding Gaoheng, who recognized the person, finally showed his first smile since this afternoon, and re-spread the documents that he had received half on the table.

"yes, I guess you're in the office right now."

Du Yishan took off the cotton jacket on his body and hung it on the hanger by the door, and at the same time gave up half of his body to Chang Haonan behind him:

"This is Chang Haonan, my student, the previous guide to the assessment of the total pressure distortion of imported aviation turbojet and turbofan engines, as well as the operation and validation standards for the natural ice accumulation test of aircraft, and the ......"

"Okay, okay, can I still not know this?"

Ding Gaoheng waved his hand, interrupting Du Yishan's spell chanting, and then turned his gaze to Chang Haonan.

"Comrade Xiaochang, your name, the frequency of appearing here in me during this period of time is very high, I don't need to be introduced by the teacher, I can recite it backwards!"

"Hello Director Ding, it's an honor to meet you here."

In the past half a year since his rebirth, Chang Haonan has been more colorful than the previous forty years, so he is now experienced in a hundred battles and has seen a lot.

So much so that in front of the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, it is necessary to rely on deliberate camouflage to show a somewhat restrained appearance.

Ding Gaoheng motioned for the two to sit on the sofa next to him, and then asked the secretary to pour two glasses of water, and then went straight to the point:

"I won't say much polite words, this time I asked the old Duterte to call you over because I wanted to hear what you think about Boeing and McDonnell Douglas."

Chang Haonan already knew the theme of this meeting as early as last night, and Ding Gaoheng's background also determined that he was not a person who liked to bend, so he almost did not hesitate to say what had been organized in his mind a long time ago:

"Overall, it's definitely a bad thing for us."

"China's aviation industry, especially the civil aviation industry development level is still relatively low, although there is a great market potential, but in a short period of time, the civil aviation market is definitely dominated by foreign aircraft models."

"In this case, the merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, on the one hand, will make us lose a major model supplier, on the other hand, it will also make Boeing more and more dominant, and even have the possibility of squeezing Airbus and completely monopolizing the market!"

In fact, Chang Haonan, who understands the development of later generations, certainly knows that Airbus has developed extremely rapidly after entering the 21st century, and will not really be left down by Boeing, but even has a tendency to surpass Boeing in the field of passenger transportation.

But at this time, he naturally had to be alarmist.

Sure enough, after hearing Chang Haonan's judgment, Ding Gaoheng nodded slightly:

"That's what I'm worried about, if one day we can only ask Boeing to buy a passenger plane, won't they just ask for as much price as they want, and we will all have to agree?"

"But in this matter, we don't seem to be able to do anything, after all, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas are both American companies, and the merger is also a family matter......

Hearing this, Chang Haonan knew that the time had come for him to play a role.

Ding Gaoheng obviously wanted to do something subjectively.

Just push the boat down the river.

Although he is not well-versed in the commercial world, he is clear about the general direction of the Boeing McDonnell Douglas merger.

There's a lot of room to work in.

So he quickly replied:

"Director Ding, it's true that they are two American companies, but this can't be regarded as an American's family affair."

Sure enough, Ding Gaoheng's eyes lit up.

Chang Haonan continued to strike while the iron was hot:

"This incident is not only affecting us, the reaction and actions of the Europeans will definitely be greater, this time, we have allies!"
