Chang Haonan was stunned when he heard this.

This time, it was Ding Gaoheng who reacted first:

"Is there the Aerotech Company?"

"That's right."

Du Yishan said and put down the document in his hand that made him have some high blood pressure after reading it, picked up the teacup again and took a sip, and then continued:

"Over the past two decades, all of our negotiations with Western countries, especially European countries, on arms sales have been conducted through them."

"Although the nature of the arms procurement trade is rather special, and it is certainly different from the normal foreign trade of civilian products, after all, they deal more with foreigners, and they are much more professional than those of us who are purely engaged in technology."

"What's more, it shouldn't be long before the day when your Science and Technology Commission will report the results of the discussion, and I think it may not be easy for you to find other professionals who have no problem with their positions."

Ding Gaoheng, who heard the last sentence, showed a slightly embarrassed look.

Obviously, as the director of the Commission of Science and Technology, he actually needs two "outsiders" to remind the impact behind the Boeing McDonnell Douglas merger and acquisition, which is definitely not a long-faced thing.

But then he looked down at the minutes of the meeting on the desk that were either talking nonsense or giving someone else a platform, and he really couldn't say anything to refute it.

"Okay...... It seems that this is the only way to go. ”

Ding Gaoheng's upper body leaned back on the back of the seat, but his mood now is at least much better than just now:

"There is another matter, Comrade Xiao Chang."

"Since you also think that neither we nor Europe can really stop Boeing's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas, then I would like to hear your views on the future of the MD90 aircraft production line in Shanghai."

Chang Haonan sorted out the few documents in his hand and put them back on Ding Gaoheng's desk:

"I don't think I can hang myself from the tree of MD90."

After determining the main tone of his answer, Chang Haonan glanced at Ding Gaoheng behind the desk again.

The other party looked like an old god was there, and he couldn't see too much emotion.

But this is a good thing for Chang Haonan.

So he continued:

"The technical level of McDonnell Douglas airliners is already worse than Boeing's, and once Boeing completes the acquisition, they will definitely not continue to invest in the development of the MD series airliner product line, so that even if Boeing wants to be a good guy and fully fulfill the commercial agreement signed by McDonnell Douglas, we will only produce a batch of airliners that will not have follow-up development at all, and the commercial prospects have been sentenced to death."

"Moreover, because the raw materials of the MD90 aircraft and the aero engine still need to be imported, and the maintenance guarantee must also rely on the United States, we can't even divert these aircraft for military use, so it can be said that if you build one, you will lose one."

Ding Gaoheng nodded after hearing Chang Haonan's answer, and lit a cigarette at the same time:

"But Hufei's production line and assembly line together, we have invested nearly one billion yuan of funds, and in any case, the information and experience provided by McDonnell Douglas in the early stage are real, and we have finally cultivated a group of engineers and skilled workers who have mastered the assembly and manufacturing technology of large aircraft.

In fact, Ding Gaoheng's concerns are justified.

Because this is exactly the end of the previous life after Hu Fei's struggle for several years.

Although it is impossible for Chang Haonan to know what happened in that timeline, he will definitely not allow the tragedy of Hufei Factory to repeat itself this time.

So he immediately said what he had been thinking about since he participated in the Xiangzhou Air Show:

"We have now begun to build our own aviation industry system, so it is best to produce a passenger aircraft designed according to our standards, which will be more helpful to our own civil aviation industry in the future."

"And in the world, only the United States, the European Union, Brazil and Russia have the technical strength to develop a complete passenger aircraft."

"The United States and the European Union are in an absolutely dominant position in the current civil aviation market, and it is unlikely that they will agree to produce aircraft according to Chinese standards, and as for Brazil's aviation industry, it is completely dependent on the United States and exists as a subsidiary industrial system, and it is not independent."

Chang Haonan mentioned that Brazil was purely unintentional, after all, in the field of regional airliners and business jets, Embraer still has a very high status.

But when Ding Gaoheng heard this, he suddenly sighed:

"In fact, in the mid-to-late 80s, when we proposed to cooperate with McDonnell Douglas to develop the civil aviation industry, the target was Brazil."

"So that's it?"

This sentence is really a bit informative, but it also explains a lot of Chang Haonan's doubts all along.

Embraer's rise is actually an example of moving from OEM to cooperative development, giving up its technological independence in exchange for integrating into the European and American aviation industry systems, and finally becoming bigger and stronger.

Considering that this is almost the only successful example of a third world country in the field of civil aviation industry, this path is indeed extremely deceptive.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the decision to cooperate with McDonnell Douglas and integrate into the aviation industry system was made by using this as an example.

The only problem is that today's Embraer has nothing to do with Brazil other than its name.

Its success has nothing to do with Brazil.

The Brazilian government now owns only 1.45 percent of Embraer.

Even most of the jobs offered by this company are not in China, but in the United States and Europe.

"Yes, some people thought it would be nice to drink soup after Europe and the United States like Brazil."

Ding Gaoheng took an unprecedented puff of cigarette and slowly sprayed the smoke into the air in front of him:

"But within a few years, the Americans showed their true colors - let alone drinking soup, people didn't even want to leave us the opportunity to lick the bottom of the bowl!"

"It's a pity, some people don't know if they can't see it, or they pretend to be confused, and they have dragged on for nearly ten years in such a fatal matter."

The air in the office was quiet for a moment.

"There's no way around it."

Chang Haonan, who has returned from more than 20 years and experienced the era of full-scale trade war, naturally feels more deeply in these aspects:

"1.2 billion people, even one person drinks an extra sip of soup, it can kill Americans."

"Besides, relying on the soup and bones of others alone can't feed these billions of mouths, so it is absolutely impossible for us in Huaxia to survive by being dogs for others, and there is no other way out except to snatch meat from other people's mouths."

"You have to give up your illusions and be ready to fight!"
