Chapter 170: Tupolev, is also an option

"Judging from the current situation, we can consider letting the Aviation Technology Group contact the personnel of Tupolev and talk about the manufacturing of the Tu-204 and Tu-334 models in our country in accordance with the introduction of Su-27 technology and production lines."

"Compared to Airbus, Tupolev's situation is obviously much worse, which also means that it is easier for them to compromise in negotiations. In addition, we already have the experience of negotiating with Sukhoi, and it should be hoped that they will be able to improve the aircraft according to our standards, and our technicians can also participate in this process, and we can also give this aircraft our own code name, like the J-11. ”

Obviously, when Chang Haonan said this, Ding Gaoheng's eyes lit up suddenly.

The MD90 produced in Huaxia can only be called MD90, but the Figure 204 produced in Huaxia can have its own name.

Don't underestimate the difference.

This is definitely quite attractive for an era when national self-confidence is at its lowest.

So Chang Haonan continued to hit the railway while it was hot:

"More importantly, the Russians will not limit the use of these planes for us, even if the civil aviation side tears its skin and refuses to accept these aircraft, the military can be a strong backing. The Tu-204 is a better special aircraft platform than the Y-8, and reconnaissance, anti-submarine, early warning, electronic warfare, and VIP transportation can all be modified on the basis of this model. ”

Obviously, Ding Gaoheng was already moved.

There is also a benefit that Chang Haonan did not say explicitly, but everyone knows it-

Only trade negotiations with Russia can be completely decided by the Aviation Technology Group and can avoid interference by other forces.

Because almost all of the connections in the relevant industries on the Russian side are in the hands of aviation technology, there is no need to worry about others getting in the way.

And it's also more efficient.

It is now December 16th, and there is only about half a month left before the relevant units submit their response plans to their superiors on the Boeing McDonnell Douglas merger and acquisition.

Therefore, the sooner the better, if we can reach even the most preliminary consensus with Tupolev on key issues such as model improvement and technology transfer during this time, it can greatly improve the persuasiveness and voice of the Commission of Science and Technology on this matter.

Thinking of this, Ding Gaoheng couldn't sit still.

He pressed the burned cigarette butt into the ashtray, and then stood up:

"Lao Du, Comrade Xiao Chang, I was originally going to leave you for dinner in the canteen of the Science and Industry Commission today, but now it seems that the situation is urgent, and I have to go and prepare for a meeting immediately."

"It's okay, it's still business."

Du Yishan smiled and waved his hand:

"But this meal has to be owed here, after you solve the trouble in front of you, I will bring Xiao Chang over again, you can't pay the bill."

"Not only will it not be repaid, but if this matter can really be properly resolved in this way, then Comrade Xiaochang can be said to be a great hero of our country's aviation industry!"

Ding Gaoheng had already put on his coat and was about to go out as he spoke:

"When the time comes, I will personally ask for credit for him!"

"That's a deal."

"It's a deal!"

……

Until he left the Commission of Science and Technology with Du Yishan, Chang Haonan was still immersed in great joy.

Compared with what Ding Gaoheng said about asking for credit, what made him more excited was actually what happened today-

I finally have the opportunity to speak freely about what is in my heart.

Ever since he saw the Tu-204 at the Zhuhai Air Show, things about domestic large aircraft have been haunting his mind.

If you have unlimited scientific research points and time and energy in your hands, then the best solution is naturally to leave all foreigners behind and build a series of passenger aircraft that benchmark A320/330/350/380 by yourself.

But in terms of the objective conditions at the moment, this can only be an idea.

In fact, even if the full set of technical data of A350 or A380 is put out, today's Huaxia does not have the ability to build an aircraft of this size on its own.

So you have to take it one step at a time.

However, the overall weakness of technology does not mean that some advanced key technologies cannot be obtained.

Under the impetus of Chang Haonan, Huaxia is fully able to verify some new key technologies in the localization process of Tu-204, so as to improve its capabilities in the field of large aircraft design and manufacturing.

That's right, it's like the J-11.

This is another reason why he hopes to cooperate with Tupolev.

After all, you can't expect Airbus or Boeing to allow others to manipulate their aircraft design.

At this time, Du Yishan patted Chang Haonan on the shoulder:

"Let's go, I didn't take you to eat at the Science and Technology Commission this time, I invite you to go there for a meal."

As he spoke, he pointed to a Jin Jude across the street.

……

On the other side, after sending off the master and apprentice, Ding Gaoheng quickly asked the secretary to make several phone calls in a row.

Later in the day, the leaders of the Aviation Industry Group and the Aviation Technology Group, as well as several representatives who had been in charge of important project negotiations in the past, gathered in a conference room of the Science and Technology Commission.

It's the same one from the last symposium.

"Boeing is going to buy McDonnell Douglas, you must already know."

After making up his mind, Ding Gaoheng also took out the cards of the director of his Science and Technology Industry Commission and said straight to the point:

"For this matter, we can't sit idly by, we have to win some benefits for our Huaxia."

After hearing such a statement, the faces of the other people present at the meeting became serious one after another, and they sat upright.

"Comrade of the aviation technology department, I will assign you two tasks now."

"The first is to use some of the contacts opened up during the arms trade in the past to test the attitude of the European side towards this matter, and if possible, to formulate a set of negotiation strategies suitable for us with reference to their methods."

"Understood, Director Ding, I will personally take charge of this matter."

A senior negotiator from the Aerotech Group said as he took notes:

"However, our country currently does not have an anti-monopoly law, and we can only consider applying the anti-unfair competition law, so ...... It may be a little weaker than the EU in the negotiation process. ”

Ding Gaoheng nodded:

"The bottom line of our negotiations is to ask Boeing to transfer some of the parts and components sold to Huaxia passenger aircraft to our domestic production, the proportion can be small, but there must be, as for better conditions, we will see if we can get it when the time comes."

Obviously, a person who can sit in the position of director of the Commission of Science and Technology must not have any ideas of his own.

Of course, we should find Tupolev to cooperate, but the losses that can be recovered from Boeing must also be recovered as much as possible.

After confirming that everyone had nothing else to say, Ding Gaoheng continued:

"The second is to contact the Russian Tupolev company as soon as possible and ask them about the cooperation in the production and improvement of passenger aircraft, but don't let them see that we are in a hurry, and we can confirm the intention before the end of the year."

"Comrade in the aviation industry department, I need you to write a report on the development of the civil aviation industry within a week, I don't care how to write it in the middle, the conclusion must be to oppose the AE100 aircraft project that Airbus wants to cooperate with us."

"Another ......"

With Ding Gaoheng's instructions issued one by one, the entire system of the Science and Technology Commission began to operate precisely and efficiently.
