The discussion was planned to be only about an hour and lasted until late at night.

"The sealing device of the high-pressure turbine bearing can be changed from the floating ring type to the grate type, although the theoretical sealing effect will be worse, but it will not be affected by coking, and there will be no risk of oil leakage when grinding with the bearing."

"The way of fixing by tenon is not very strong after all, so you can consider designing a damping block at the root of the blade to reduce the vibration stress ......"

Chang Haonan combined the memories before the rebirth, as well as the knowledge and experience after the rebirth, and proposed a lot of detailed changes to Spey MK202.

Zhang Zhenhua naturally recorded them one by one.

Factory 430 was originally just a manufacturing-oriented enterprise, and the R&D department has always been in a dispensable state, that is, in recent years, it has begun to recruit people everywhere to pull up a set of teams, just in the process of improving the turbofan 9 to gain some experience.

……

While the Seiko plan continues to advance in an orderly manner.

Across the ocean, Washington

1401 Constitution Avenue, inside an office in the Herbert Hoover Building.

Commerce Secretary Michael Kanter was sitting behind his desk, holding a multi-page briefing note in one hand and an unlit cigar in the other.

He had read the briefing three times.

"Two, I think your plan may encounter some unexpected resistance."

Kanter looked up at the two men sitting on the sofa in the reception area opposite.

Harry Stonesyfer is the current CEO of McDonnell Douglas Smith Douglas.

Phil Condit, the current CEO of The Boeing Company.

Two people stamping their feet together can make the global aviation manufacturing industry tremble.

"Unexpected?"

Stonesail crossed his legs nonchalantly, clearly not caring too much about Kante's position:

"Is there anyone in the House and the Pentagon who would raise objections? It's good for them. ”

From his tone, it seems to be heard that the CEO of McDonnell Douglas is not dissatisfied with the company's merger, but also has some ......

Can't wait.

In fact, Boeing's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas can be said to be a decision made by the two companies, or the management of both companies, led by Condit and Stonesyver.

In addition to unifying the aviation manufacturing industry in North America and enhancing its competitive advantage, another important reason is that it can quickly increase the stock price.

In the half-month since they announced the merger, Boeing's stock has soared by more than 10 percent, despite no action.

And McDonnell Douglas, or rather, McDonnell Douglas' executives, are not at a loss.

According to the agreement between the two companies, one-third of the board seats for the new company after the merger will be reserved for the management of the former McDonnell Douglas Company, and Stonesyfer himself will take on the position of general manager.

In addition, when Condit retires in the future, he has a high probability of becoming the next CEO of Boeing.

Both sides rejoiced.

Now that the merger process was suddenly learning that the merger process might have been frustrated, Stonesyver, who had benefited the most personally, was naturally unhappy.

"It's not from China, Harry."

Kanter put down the papers in his hand, took out the cigar from the drawer, and said as he patiently trimmed the cigar in front of him:

"The European Commission has made it clear that it opposes the merger of your two companies, which they believe will affect fair competition in the EU commercial aircraft market."

"But it was in our plans, so there's nothing surprising about it, Kante."

Condit cleared his throat and then spoke:

"As we have said before, the Pentagon and the Ministry of Justice will stand with us and put pressure on the European Commission, and in the worst case, we can also make some concessions on the exclusive supply rights of Delta Air and Continental Airlines, and anyway, after the merger, we will quickly abandon the product line of McDonnell Douglas."

Stonesever, who was sitting next to him, did not react to the abandonment of his company's product line.

As a professional manager, he doesn't really care about the company, as long as his interests are maximized.

"But now the Europeans have an ally."

As he spoke, Kanter toasted the cigar with pine chips, put it in his mouth and took a deep breath.

"The Chinese will stand with them."

"Although there is no official statement yet, in many informal occasions, they have shown their determination to govern this merger in accordance with the Anti-Unfair Competition Law."

"How is that possible?"

Stonesyphus stood up suddenly:

"In recent years, we have invested in several consulting firms in Huaxia that are responsible for finding influential experts who can give us research results that are in our interest."

He had been preparing for this merger for a long time, and he didn't expect such an accident at all.

"Anyway, Harry, it's just happening."

Kanter, who was smoking a cigar, also stood up, walked up to Stonesever, and patted him on the shoulder:

"We've got to get this out of the way."

The gloomy-faced Condit gently patted the armrest of the sofa rhythmically with one hand:

"Although the level of China's aviation industry is still very backward, the potential of the civil aviation market is very large, if they are tied to Europe, it is equivalent to giving this market to Airbus, which is absolutely unacceptable."

As the CEO of Boeing, although he does not quite believe that the Chinese people will really completely squeeze out Boeing and let the Airbus family dominate, it must also be considered that even if the other side of the ocean only shows such a tendency, it is enough to make investors' confidence in Boeing fall to the bottom.

The ensuing plunge in the stock price was something he could never afford.

At this time, Stonesyver also calmed down a little.

After thinking for a while, he realized that the other party still left a lot of room for maneuver:

"Since the Chinese people did not choose to make a public statement like the EU, it means that things are still turning around, and they should not really be prepared to stop us, but just want to make a little more benefit in the process."

People who can reach the position of CEO of McDonnell Douglas naturally have enough brains, and they quickly find a reasonable direction for speculation:

"I don't mind talking to them and seeing what their conditions are, anyway, with the level of their aviation industry, I'm afraid they won't be able to threaten us until the end of the next century."

"But I don't mind."

Kanter turned around, walked to the glass window of his office, looked at the white house in the distance, and after a long moment continued:

"Europeans are fine, but if we negotiate with the Chinese people in this matter, it means that we recognize that Huaxia is a force on an equal footing with our America, it means that we admit that our business operations are subject to Chinese laws, and it means that we have to make concessions to a ** country."

"Regardless of the outcome, as long as the negotiations start, it will be equivalent to us losing."

"So what to do? Do you want to put the matter of annexation on hold? ”

Not to be outdone, as a businessman, he didn't care about these ethereal things.

"Of course it can't be." Kante waved his hand, signaling for the other to be calm.

Boeing's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas is a consensus formed by major US forces, and it is impossible for him to stop it as a secretary of commerce.

"But you have to be prepared to stretch the front, and it may take half a year or more to solve this matter."
