That evening, the European delegations reported the situation to their respective superiors.

Chang Haonan and Schneider's feelings are not wrong.

Since all parties involved were given what they wanted, this time they were quickly granted a higher level of empowerment.

Thus, in the fourth round of negotiations that followed the next day, China and Europe finally reached an agreement on the basic content of the agreement.

But this kind of thing, which involves more than a dozen countries and a few very large international companies, is not to go to the vegetable market to buy groceries.

Even with Chang Haonan's efforts (and of course, flickering), the two sides are generally in a state of moving in the same direction, but it involves the formulation of new standards, the selection of new suppliers and even the formation of new business alliances, and the relevant legal and technical details are vast, which is by no means possible on the scale of the two delegations.

Therefore, all they can do at present is to reach an "agreement of intent" similar to the project planning or research outline, first tie the partners together with a piece of paper, and as for the details later, naturally professionals in various fields are responsible for completing them.

And it just so happens that the "professionals" related to icing and anti-icing research are Chang Haonan and Lin Guofan.

And this is also the most urgent thing at the moment -

Once such a big multi-party cooperation begins, it will not be possible, nor will it need to be as secretive as it was during the negotiations, so it will have to be counter-attacking in the field of aviation security, which they think they have the advantage of, before the FAA reacts.

So Chang Haonan's work on Hojing's side is not over.

However, unlike the previous situation when he had to play the main role, in the follow-up negotiations, he only needed to sit on the scene as the mascot of a town, and to some extent, it could be regarded as a short vacation, making up for the rest time delayed by being taken out of the house before the Spring Festival was over.

At the same time, due to Chang Haonan's one-pass operation, many things that did not exist in the original plan were added to the agreement.

For example, Airbus will select some Chinese enterprises as suppliers of its subsystems.

In the follow-up contact with Airbus's senior management, the latter even said that as long as Huaxia can provide enough orders, they can consider building the planned "Airbus Asia Final Assembly Center" in Huaxia.

If combined with Chang Haonan's idea of a "large aircraft industrial park", the whole thing can be regarded as a commendable event in the entire nineties.

Therefore, the level of representatives of the two sides who rushed to Hojing is also getting higher and higher.

The previous head of the delegation was only Huai Guomo, deputy director of the Commission of Science and Technology, but now even the leaders of some ministries and commissions have come as ordinary members.

is like Ding Gaoheng.

Chang Haonan was happy during this time, but he didn't pay specific attention to the long list of new delegations, so when he heard someone calling his name when he was pressing the road after dinner one day, he couldn't even immediately identify the other party's identity through the voice.

"Director Ding?"

Chang Haonan turned around, because he was in a state of brain emptying just now, so he hesitated for about half a second before he recognized that the person in civilian clothes in front of him was Ding Gaoheng.

"It's such a coincidence, you also eat after meals?"

The latter's tone was relaxed, as if it was a casual conversation after an ordinary chance encounter.

"Uh...... Director Ding has something to do with me? ”

Chang Haonan is 100% sure that today's meeting is no accident.

Because Ding Gaoheng was accompanied by another person who looked about the same age as him, but his clothes were not casual at all.

Although he doesn't recognize the identity of this person, he is also a big man with the dual identities of a scholar and a leader in terms of temperament.

Apparently prepared.

"It's true, but it's not just me looking for you."

Ding Gaoheng, who was broken by Chang Haonan, was not surprised, but turned his head slightly and introduced to the one next to him who had never opened his mouth:

"This is what you've always wanted to meet, that student of Lao Du, Chang Haonan."

"Hello, Comrade Xiaochang, my name is Song Jian."

The other party stepped forward, took the initiative to shake hands with Chang Haonan, and said in a slightly humorous tone:

"I heard your name many times before from Director Ding and Academician Du, and I always wanted to meet you, but I heard that you are a busy person, and you are almost not in the capital from the second half of last year to the present, so I had to come to Beijing in person."

Song Jian may have really just been joking when he said this, but for Chang Haonan, it was not easy to accept.

But before he could speak, Ding Gaoheng next to him patted the former's shoulder first:

"Eh, Lao Song, you are not honest, I told you several times before that Xiao Chang returned to the capital, obviously you have something to do and can't come to our Science and Technology Commission, how can you put the responsibility on the little comrade?"

Ding Gaoheng and Song Jian were born in the same year, and they also went to study in the Soviet Union at about the same time, and after returning to China, they worked together in China's first missile research institute, the Second Branch of the Fifth Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense.

"This ...... As the director of the State Science and Technology Commission, it is not good for me to make a special trip to your Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense to meet with ......."

In short, after some pleasantries, the three of them began to press the road together.

"Comrade Xiaochang, I heard Lao Ding say in the past two days that it was you who put forward the idea of building a large aircraft industrial park in the process of negotiating with the European side?"

After chatting casually, Song Jian went straight to the point.

"That's right, my idea is to rely on Airbus, as well as more orders from Party A that may be obtained in the future, to focus on the development of a group of enterprises that have the ability, or at least the potential to become upstream suppliers in the aviation field, to bring their strength together, focus on key technologies, and create a demonstration industrial cluster that can form a large-scale effect!"

Chang Haonan nodded, and directly moved out the report of a certain aviation industrial park in his previous life.

As a person who has experienced the 2020s, even if he has never set foot in a propaganda position, the Internet nonsense in his head is enough to deal with some scenes:

"On the one hand, we want to make some preparations for the technical and industrial development of our own large aircraft manufacturing, and on the other hand, we also want to cut a piece of the big cake of civil air transportation!"

After all, in the 90s, industrial clusters were still a new concept in the world:

"Demonstration Industrial Cluster...... Not bad...... It seems that if our Comrade Xiaochang arrives at the propaganda post one day, he will also be able to play a big role! ”

This was originally just an unintentional emotion, but Ding Gaoheng next to him seemed to suddenly remember something:

"Don't say it, Old Song."

"Last year, I happened to read a commentator's article entitled "Why Do the Air Force Achieve Freedom of Over-the-horizon Interception," he said.

……

Regarding the matter of the large aircraft industrial park, the three of them talked from the roadside of Factory 172 to a conference room, and the time lasted until the evening of the same day.

"Comrade Xiaochang, I am very surprised that someone can put forward such a grand idea with industrial guiding significance."

Song Jian, who was sitting on a sofa holding a teacup, sighed:

"But I didn't expect that the person who came up with this idea would be you."

This sentence really made Chang Haonan a little incomprehensible:

"Director Song, this ...... Where to start? ”

"The first time I heard your name was at a high-level seminar on the development direction of the civil aviation industry, from Lao Ding's mouth."

When Song Jian said this, he took a tactical sip of water and paused:

"Lao Ding's ...... Oh, and it's also possible that your idea seemed very radical at the time, and although it was a more euphemistic statement, it was essentially equivalent to tearing down and reinventing the various standards accumulated from the MD82 to MD90 projects in the past ten years, so there was a lot of resistance. ”

"It wasn't until late last year, when McDonnell Douglas was suddenly acquired by Boeing, that the resistance finally became smaller."

"After such a process, in many people, of course, including my previous understanding, you should be opposed to this plan to introduce the Airbus final assembly line, but we later learned that the whole thing was actually proposed by you."

After hearing this, Chang Haonan suddenly realized.

This is "being sidelined".

It's just that because the Science and Technology Commission behind him has been smooth sailing during this period of time and has almost completely grasped the entire aviation industry system, he doesn't have any perception of this.

After all, they are all surrounded by their own people.

If Chang Haonan is ready to shine in the field of aviation industry all his life, there is nothing wrong with that.

But not long ago, he was still thinking about how to promote the various scientific research results that he has taken out now and derived from it to more fields.

If it is labeled unexplained like this, it will be quite detrimental to the future plan.

"Director Song, this large aircraft industrial park is completely different from the previous McDonnell Douglas cooperation projects, including the insincere AE100 project with Airbus."

Chang Haonan knew that he couldn't make a statement at this time.

On the one hand, the Commission of Science and Technology is indeed the most solid backing for him to exert influence, and in the presence of Ding Gaoheng, only a fool will choose to draw a clear line.

On the other hand, although he has no impression of Song Jian, the director of the National Science and Technology Commission, since the other party can be taken out by Ding Gaoheng alone to see him, it shows that the two should be at least the same in terms of attitude towards the core issue.

So he still chooses to take matters into account and cut in from a technical point of view:

"Whether it is domestic MD90 or AE100, a big premise is that we want to switch the entire aviation industry, at least the development of the civil aviation industry to the track of others, and become a member of other people's systems, which means to lose autonomy to a considerable extent, for example, when McDonnell Douglas cooperated with us, he directly asked to transform the plant and production line in Shanghai, and directly swept away the things we accumulated during the 10 period, so don't say that these two projects can't be landed. Even if you can, it's a loss-making deal in the long run. ”

"But this time, Airbus did not specify what we want to do, according to the supply agreement, as long as the quality of the parts we provide is up to standard, they will agree to use it on the passenger planes sold to our country, we and the Europeans are reciprocal exchanges, in business, and will not destroy the development of our own aviation industry, I naturally will not have any opinions."

In fact, this is also Chang Haonan's attitude all along:

The technology itself is not known from any source.

In any case, there is certainly nothing wrong with moving the final assembly process of passenger aircraft that was originally abroad to China.

The problem lies in the fact that some people are vainly trying to gain self-respect by taking advantage of foreign models to completely stifle the independent aviation industry.

In the final analysis, China's civil aviation industry will be dominated by foreign models at least for a long time in the future.

And even if the domestic passenger aircraft series develops in the future, it does not mean that it is necessary to use a 100% domestic fleet -

Although a single model has advantages such as guarantee and convenience, it also means that the risk is not shared, which is equivalent to putting all your eggs in one basket.

For example, in the previous life, after the Boeing 737 MAX was grounded due to structural risks related to flight safety, companies such as Heron Island Airlines, which uses the entire Boeing fleet, were directly caught off guard, and had to urgently purchase Airbus A320neo, and then train and recruit relevant engineering and technical personnel, it is better to use both models at the same time from the beginning.

Don't you see that American and European airlines will also buy each other's models (of course, there are also airlines like Alaska Airlines that have a pure Boeing).

In that case, it is better to keep some of the profits at home.

It's better to assemble an airplane than to make shirts and socks, right?

In later generations, Huaxia could even provide all kinds of subsystems and components for North American OEMs that used imperial specifications, but now in any case, Europeans still use metric units......

Sure enough, after hearing Chang Haonan's explanation, Song Jian and Ding Gaoheng's expressions relaxed a lot.

"Xiao Chang, about this large aircraft industrial park, do you personally think where is more appropriate? Sheng Jing? Ho Kyo? Rongcheng? Or is it somewhere else? ”

Ding Gaoheng changed his words and directly brought the chat content to the part of the industrial park site selection.

Chang Haonan shook his head decisively:

"Considering that the mess of cooperation between Hufei and McDonnell Douglas has not yet been cleaned up, in order to avoid some unnecessary associations, and of course, to avoid some people who want to hide from the world and engage in doves and magpies' nests, I personally believe that this industrial park should not be placed in these core cities of our independent model layout."

As soon as his voice fell, Song Jian seemed to have been waiting for this answer for a long time, and said almost immediately:

"In this case, Comrade Xiaochang thinks that this aviation industrial park should be placed in which city?"

This question made Chang Haonan stunned.

He glanced at Ding Gaoheng next to him and found that the other party was also looking at him with very interested eyes.

even added a sentence to add fuel to the fire:

"As the proposer of the entire plan, Comrade Xiaochang, your opinion is also very important."

Directly put Chang Haonan in order.

First of all, he really didn't think about the location of the project, because from a technical point of view, it doesn't matter, even if it is placed in Tongliao.

Secondly, he never thought that the two in front of him would ask him this question.

Because if you think about it, on a non-technical level, the impact of this answer is too great.

This is the aviation industry.

Even if it is just starting out at this stage, it can only do some non-core, or even leftover business, but that is also the aviation industry.

In the 90s, even the enterprises of daily chemicals, textiles, and electronics factories were all good for attracting investment.

Many state-owned enterprises that are doing reasonably well and can actually survive have been sent away as bargaining chips in the process.

Localities even have to specifically guarantee the rate of return for these investors in the agreement, and if they do not meet the standard, they will have to make up for it with finance.

And now, a large aircraft industrial park is in front of us.

How many jobs can this thing bring, how much economy it will drive, how many talents will it attract, and how much consumption will these talents promote......

Chang Haonan doesn't know, but there must be a lot.

So much so that he didn't dare to just say the names of a few cities casually.

Although the final decision-making power will definitely not fall to him, or even Ding Gaoheng and Song Jian.

But that sentence just now is almost clear, and his opinion will be poked at it.

It's no longer the era of two bombs and one satellite.

Even if Chang Haonan wants to learn from his predecessors incognito, he can't do it.

Among other things, all the accolades he has won outside of school are hung under the MA60 project.

The main reason is that at the beginning, no one thought that such a twin-engine propeller regional small aircraft could involve so many follow-ups, so Chang Haonan himself, Du Yishan, and Ding Gaoheng all used the Xinzhou 60 as a shield for actual work.

So sooner or later, this matter has to be known, at least by some people.

And the weight of the words "up to heaven listening" naturally does not need to be mentioned.

……

"The organization is testing me......"

Chang Haonan looked at the two old foxes who were smiling brightly in front of him and thought in his heart.
