Chapter 211: You Can't Do It, We Can Do It!
"Permanent Worker is an appointment to command the Fenmecanica Group?"
Liang Shaoxiu asked with a smile.
"I'm serious."
Chang Haonan's tone of reply was very calm.
Even the atmosphere in the carriage became serious, and everyone once again focused their attention on him, ready to hear what they would say:
"For example, in the process of cooperation, if he comes forward, we can consider making some concessions on non-core issues, and if it is someone else, we can bite the conditions to death, so that when there is any further cooperation in the future, we can also occupy some advantageous positions."
"As for our old friend Colombo himself, because he has been eating the dividends we give him all the way up to get promoted and raised, then his foundation is in the cooperation project with Huaxia, and when it comes to choosing a partner, he will lean towards us even if he only considers his own interests, just like this time."
After saying this, the carload of people basically showed tacit expressions.
Everyone is a mixed system, and this routine is naturally understandable, even if you haven't used it, you've at least seen it.
It's just that no one has thought of using the same method on foreigners in the past.
Of course, from another point of view, the chips in Huaxia's hands were really limited before, and there was no opportunity for technical cooperation in the real sense.
Huai Guomo didn't participate in the discussion just now, but just looked at Chang Haonan not far behind him from the corner of his eye.
Before setting off on this trip, he had heard this name many times from his old superior, Ding Gaoheng, and some things related to the latter.
However, at that time, Huai Guomo's attention to Chang Haonan was more focused on the technical level, thinking that he should be an engineering genius, and this time he specially invited the latter over, also because the upcoming negotiations involve a large number of issues related to anti-icing, which need to be checked by professionals.
But after really seeing each other today, and after Yi Yuanhe's reminder just now, he realized that although this student-like junior is not very old, his vision, or the overall situation, is very vicious, and his heart is also very mature.
It can be seen from Chang Haonan's layout in the past nearly a year.
As a technical genius who did not have much influence at first, he did not rush to express his determination and shout slogans as soon as he came up, but took it step by step, so that his superiors first saw the possibility of independently building an aviation industry system, and proved the necessity of this work in the matter of the merger of Boeing McDonnell Racecourse.
The subsequent development is logical.
Looking at it this way, the entire Science and Technology Commission seems to be in his calculations......
It wasn't until the convoy arrived at the destination that Huai Guomo, whose thinking had been completely distilled, ended his brainstorming.
He came to a conclusion:
Chang Haonan should also be involved in the negotiation process.
After getting out of the car, Huai Guomo immediately made this request to Chang Haonan.
And this is exactly the arrangement that Chang Haonan himself wants.
……
The first round of negotiations was scheduled for the afternoon.
Chang Haonan temporarily borrowed a suit and followed the back of the negotiation team on the Huaxia side.
Rossi Colombo, the only person with whom he has ever had a face-to-face relationship, is a representative of the Finmecanica Group, so naturally he does not focus too much on one person in the corner of the negotiating table.
And even if you are recognized, it doesn't matter.
Technical cooperation negotiations, I bring a technician, very reasonable, right?
In short, the first official contacts between the two sides began.
Generally speaking, the two sides do not expect to achieve any breakthrough results in the first round of negotiations, but mainly to get acquainted with each other and reveal some specific information.
In some cases, some rhetoric is added to set the tone for the negotiations.
Soon, Chang Haonan got a lot of news from the other party's statement, and speculated a lot of the news he wanted.
To put it simply, the core reason why Europeans are so good at talking this time is because of the pressure from the United States.
The claim that the pilot deliberately hit the plane was a smoke bomb used to confuse the media, and in fact, within days of the accident, investigators suspected that the wings were icing due to weather factors.
And this is more fatal for the aviation industry in Europe.
About two years ago, in 1994, an American Eagle Flight 4148 crashed near Chicago O'Hare International Airport in almost the same manner as it was circling for landing.
The accident model happened to be the ATR72, a joint venture between Italy and France.
The cause of the accident was that the average diameter of supercooled water droplets in the area at that time was more than 100 microns, and the largest was as much as 2 millimeters, far exceeding the existing standards and requirements for icing and anti-icing.
As a result, the flight encountered supercooled clouds and water droplets that suddenly formed during the flight, and a mixture of woolly ice and bright ice was produced on the fuselage.
The expansion de-icing device on the ATR72 aircraft was completely incapable of coping with this level of ice accumulation, but the pilot was not aware of it and instead opened the flaps according to the usual procedure, preparing to land with the nose down.
The plot behind is closer to those crashed Yun 8 in Huaxia.
The plane, which was already close to its limit, lost its balance directly because of this action of putting the flaps and fell headlong to the ground.
Obviously, although there is no official investigation report on the EMB120 air crash, considering that this aircraft is the same as the ATR42, it uses expansion de-icing as the main de-icing method, I am afraid that the result will be similar.
And that's where the FAA comes in.
The fact that two air crashes occurred in three years due to the freezing weather conditions of supercooled large water droplets (SLD) can no longer be regarded as a small probability event.
Therefore, the FAA proposed to update the part of its airworthiness certification standard that involves de-icing, that is, Appendix C of FAR-25, to include the certification of freezing fog/rain and ice crystals and supercooled water droplets, which is the diameter of 100 micron droplets.
At this time when public attention is extremely high, it is not only because of the FAA's good intentions that the FAA has offered the stick of correctness such as aviation safety.
In the field of aircraft ice accumulation, the Americans have always been far ahead of the world (at least until then) in terms of theory and engineering, relying on the favorable climatic conditions of the Great Lakes region.
And the new conditions they put forward this time are simply not too late for European aviation companies to study on their own.
Even the JAA (the predecessor of EASA) is difficult to conduct independent certification.
Once the standards are adopted, the entire European aviation industry will be subject to the FAA in this regard, at least for a few years.
The U.S. side put forward a condition that if the European Union could approve the merger between Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, they would hold off on proposing the amendment.
In the face of this kind of void card play, the European Union, which is still high-spirited, is naturally unwilling to admit it.
But there doesn't seem to be much to do.
At this time when everyone was at a loss, Rosie Colombo, who had just been promoted to the parent company, told about his experience of participating in the test flight of natural icing, and said that the Golden State University in China has deep research in this area, and has even been able to stably track the meteorological conditions that meet the conditions and carry out airworthiness certification.
Hence this negotiation.
The condition put forward by the European representative is that, considering that the two sides have the same interests in the Boeing McDonnell Douglas merger and acquisition, it is hoped that the CAAC on the Chinese side can work with JAA to delay the amendments proposed by the FAA and set up a joint laboratory to study the ice accumulation and anti-icing methods under the climatic conditions of supercooled droplets with a diameter of 100 microns.
This condition of Pu Kexin directly made Chang Haonan laugh.
It's also a "joint research", what level do you have, you can do joint research with us, it's better to just say that you want to prostitute the research results for nothing.
As for the conditions for joining forces to delay the FAA, it is fair, but it is also stupid.
At a time when the world's attention to air crashes has not passed, aviation safety is the right thing to do, and there is no doubt that disobedience at this time will adversely affect the image of public relations.
Of course, this is the negotiation scene after all, and it can't be unorganized and undisciplined, so Chang Haonan wrote a note of his thoughts and handed it to Huai Guomo, who was sitting in the middle of his negotiation table, and soon got a hint that he could speak.
"We believe that rather than delaying the revised standards proposed by the FAA, it is better to be anti-customer. Since they want to conduct a 100-micron level study, we will do it in one step and directly propose to do anti-de-icing research and airworthiness certification under SLD climate conditions! ”
When Colombo on the opposite side saw Chang Haonan's face, he was stunned for a moment, and then obviously remembered his identity, and his eyes widened suddenly.
"SLD climatic conditions?"
The representative sent by JAA is called Anne Vallet, and she is frowning at Chang Haonan at this time:
"The research object of SLD conditions is an order of magnitude higher, reaching the millimeter level, and there is no technical reserve in this regard, have you ever considered how to deal with it if the FAA is not scared back?"
Obviously, she thought Chang Haonan meant to bluff.
But it's not.
"Ms. Valette, strictly speaking, you don't have the technical reserves related to SLD, and we do."
Chang Haonan sat up straight and said slowly.
