Chapter 167 I have to collect some wool no matter what
The next afternoon.
Beijing, in the office of the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.
Ding Gaoheng was looking at several meeting minutes on the desk in front of him with a frown.
Obviously, he was in a bad mood, and the air pressure in the whole room became slightly lower as a result.
A person who looked like a secretary stood cautiously next to him, holding several other documents in his hand, wondering whether he should hand them over.
As a cadre with a technical background, Ding Gaoheng has a good temper and even lacks decisiveness in some matters. It must be something unusual to make him so angry today.
"Just leave the documents here with me and go and have a rest."
After hearing this, the secretary finally breathed a sigh of relief and gently placed the documents in his hand on the corner of the table. After that, he quickly turned around and left the office.
“TMD… what a bunch of useless trash!”
After the secretary closed the door, Ding Gaoheng punched the table in front of him.
The old comrade leaned back on his chair with some slump, and had an extremely rare sex.
It wasn't until the cigarette in his hand was almost burned out that he straightened up again, put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, then picked up the documents that the secretary had just put on the table and started to read them again.
"Sigh... They will wait and rely on themselves day by day. The string of self-reliance is probably gone in their minds."
Ding Gaoheng shook his head and sighed with some helplessness. .
As the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, there are some things that cannot be decided by him alone.
Especially when it comes to the civil aviation industry, the problem of bullish management is quite serious. Although he can rely on his own background and the special status of the Science and Technology Commission to dominate it, a ministerial-level unit cannot No matter how you say it, it's impossible to truly say it all.
What’s more important is that Ding Gaoheng, a precision instrument professional, knows almost nothing about international trade and business regulations.
Based on his own intuition, he believed that as the fastest growing market in the world's civil aviation industry, China would definitely suffer a big loss if it did nothing about Boeing's merger with McDonnell Douglas.
But if we really want to say that we can do something, there really is no idea.
The only thing that makes him feel lucky is that a few months ago, due to the aero-engine stability evaluation standards, the civil aviation industry's "self-centered" development policy was smoothly determined. Taking advantage of the establishment of an independent standard system, the above-mentioned The focus of the mainline aircraft project in Shanghai has changed from the complete introduction of the American civil aviation industry system to the digestion and absorption of technology, and the accumulation of experience in the assembly and manufacturing of large civil aviation aircraft.
Because of such changes, the higher authorities stopped a huge investment of nearly 1 billion, which was able to recover some losses.
Just when he was distressed about this matter, there was a knock on the door of the office.
“Come in!”
Ding Gaoheng took two deep breaths and prepared to put away the documents on the table.
It's just that this movement stopped halfway.
The one who pushed the door open was naturally his secretary.
But there were two other people standing outside.
One of them is Du Yishan.
Following him was a young man dressed inconspicuously, wearing a work uniform that seemed to be issued by the aviation industry.
Although I have never met him before, it is not difficult to guess the identity of the other party.
"It's Lao Du." Ding Gaoheng, who recognized the person, finally showed his first smile since this afternoon, and re-spread the half-received documents on the table.
"Yes, I guess you are anxious to get angry in the office right now."
Du Yishan took off his cotton coat and hung it by the door. On the clothes rack, he also gave up half of his body to Chang Haonan behind him:
"This is Chang Haonan, my student, the previous guide for the evaluation of the inlet total pressure distortion of aviation turbojet and turbofan engines, as well as the operation and certification standards for the natural ice accretion test of the aircraft, and..."
"Okay, okay, can I still not know this?"
Ding Gaoheng waved his hand, interrupted Du Yishan's spell casting, and then turned his eyes to Chang Haonan.
“Comrade Xiao Chang, your name has appeared very frequently in my place during this period. I don’t even need to introduce it to you, Teacher Qi, I can recite it by heart!”
“ Hello, Director Ding, it’s an honor to meet you here.”
The past six months since his rebirth have been more colorful for Chang Haonan than the previous forty years, so he has now experienced many battles and has seen a lot.
So much so that in front of the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, he had to deliberately disguise himself to appear a little reserved.
Ding Gaoheng motioned for the two of them to sit on the sofa next to him, then asked his secretary to pour two glasses of water, and then went straight to the topic:
"I won’t say more polite words. I asked Old Duterte to call you here this time because I want to hear what you think about the Boeing and McDonnell Douglas matter."
Chang Haonan already knew about this meeting as early as last night. The theme, and Ding Gaoheng’s background also determines that he is not a person who likes to meander, so he almost without hesitation said the content that had been organized in his mind:
"Generally speaking, this incident is definitely a bad thing for us."
"The development level of my country's aviation industry, especially the civil aviation industry, is still relatively low. Although it has great market potential, it is short-term For a long time, the civil aviation market will definitely still be dominated by foreign aircraft models.”
“In this case, the merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas will cause us to lose a major model supplier on the one hand. On the other hand, it will also make Boeing become more and more dominant, and may even crowd out Airbus and completely monopolize the market!”
In fact, Chang Haonan, who understands the development of later generations, certainly knows that Airbus is entering the 21st century. The subsequent development is extremely rapid, and it will not really be defeated by Boeing. On the contrary, it even has a tendency to overtake Boeing in the field of passenger transportation.
But at this time, he naturally had to be as alarmist as he wanted.
Sure enough, after hearing Chang Haonan's judgment, Ding Gaoheng nodded slightly:
"This is exactly what I am worried about. If one day we can only buy passenger planes from one company, Boeing, wouldn't it mean that they would just fly it?" At what price do we have to agree?”
“But it seems that we can’t do anything on this matter. After all, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas are both American companies, and the merger is a family matter... ..."
Hearing these words, Chang Haonan knew that it was time for him to play his role.
Ding Gaoheng obviously wanted to do something subjectively.
Just go with the flow.
Although he is not proficient in the business field, he is still clear about the general direction of the Boeing-McDonnell Douglas merger.
There is actually a lot of room for maneuver here.
So he quickly replied:
"Director Ding, it is true that they are two American companies, but this cannot be regarded as an American family matter."
Sure enough, Ding Gaoheng's eyes lit up.
Chang Haonan continued to strike while the iron was hot:
“This incident will not only affect us, the reaction and actions from the Europeans will definitely be greater. This time, we have allies! ”
