Chapter 485 Negotiating with Luo Luo! Do you British people have this day too?
Chang Haonan's reply is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Ren Bingda, who has always wanted to build Haojing Hangfa Group into a window for external communication.
He, who had been a little worried these past few days, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He wrote a report on the future development direction of Xiluo Company almost as quickly as possible and submitted it to Yin Xingjian, general manager of Haofa Group.
The latter read the report in his hand twice.
Although it was only a mere five pages, holding it in his hand made him feel as if it was extremely important.
"Old Ren..."
Yin Xingjian put the report on his desk and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking:
"What you are thinking is indeed Okay, but now we have neither instructions from our superiors nor a confirmed target for installation. If we rashly introduce a new type of engine from abroad, if something goes wrong in the middle, this responsibility... I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and me to shoulder it..."< br>
Obviously, as a big leader, Yin Xingjian’s first consideration is stability.
Especially since he had heard some rumors.
The five major military industrial corporations may need to be reorganized in the next few years.
Although the specific situation is not yet known, as a veteran, he knows that at such a critical moment, it is certainly a good thing to be able to achieve results, but the more important thing is to ensure that no mistakes are made.
“Furthermore, our group is originally a small business. Although the localization of turbofan 9 is progressing quickly, it has not yet been put into production. We only have a serious model like turbojet 8, which is aeroderivative. The turbojet 8G has also been affected by the aerospace modification of the turbojet 14 in Shengjing and cannot be sold. It is difficult to raise enough funds for you..."
What Yin Xingjian said is indeed the truth, .
The turbojet 8 is the engine of the H-6, but the navy and air force cannot buy a few of them every year. The H-6 is not like the B52, which can install 8 engines per aircraft, so the entire Haofa Group is at a disadvantage.
If there was no funding for the Turbofan 9 project, it would be difficult to pay wages in the past two years.
"Mr. Yin, this report was actually summarized after I asked Minister Zhang Zhenhua to ask Mr. Chang Haonan of the Turbofan 10 project and based on his opinions."
Ren Bingda moved out Gao Ning used the method he used to convince himself before -
Making full use of Chang Haonan's golden signature.
When you reach their level, you basically know what amazing achievements Chang Haonan has made in the past year or so.
Almost single-handedly reshaped the pattern of China's aviation manufacturing industry.
It can be said that everyone in the entire aviation industry system is more or less reaping the dividends brought by Chang Haonan.
"Chang Haonan..."
Sure enough, Yin Xingjian, who had just said "I will never agree", changed his expression and picked up the report on the table again.
Obviously, he did not know that Chang Haonan had a real say in the reorganization process of Aviation Industry Corporation.
So there is still a fierce battle between heaven and man in my heart.
Chang Haonan’s official identity is the general manager of Torch Group, a member of the 973 project expert advisory group, and the chief designer of Turbofan 10.
Not the direct superior of Haofa Group.
If something goes wrong, it is definitely not Chang Haonan who will take the blame.
But judging from the experience of the past period, the other party can be said to be the best in the industry, and it can revitalize any industry it enters.
"Even if it is like this...the problem of money..."
The balance in Yin Xingjian's heart is jumping left and right near the equilibrium position, and even he himself doesn't know what he is inclined to do. What choice.
At this time, Ren Bingda just added the last chip in his hand:
“In fact, there is no need to worry about the funding issue. The foreign exchange quota originally planned to be used for the localization of Turbofan 9. Now we only need to use a small part to appease Luo Luo.”
"The remaining money, plus a little more, should be enough to complete my plan."
Such a confident and decisive statement made Yin Xingjian stunned for a moment:
" Even if Rolls-Royce doesn’t speak loudly, their asking price in the engine field is still very high. What’s more, if you want to transfer technology, it will probably be an astronomical figure..."
Ren Bingda shook his head:
“Mr. Chang has considered the affordability of our group before, so he specially set the target range this time. In the past two days, I selected a product series that is not eye-catching and not difficult. But it happens to be a blank model in our country.”
"The M250 engine is divided into two series: turboshaft and turboprop. Depending on the model, the output power ranges from 184kw to 331kw. It was originally an Allison model. After being acquired, it became a Rolls-Royce product."
Obviously, he had done a lot of homework before coming:
“The most important thing is that before this, Rolls-Royce has authorized this model to many countries for production. , so the technical barriers are relatively low.”
At this point, Yin Xingjian has no reason to continue to oppose it. He just asked Ren Bingda to control the risks and never introduce the turbofan 9 again. After that, it took almost 30 years to complete localization.
……
A few days later, the two British directors of Ciro Company, George Breen and Adam Whittle, finally received a reply, inviting them to go to Haofei Group the next day to discuss relevant matters.
Originally, according to the custom of leading a British leader, it would be absolutely impossible to agree to such a thing like telling the meeting in the evening of the first day that there would be a meeting the next day. However, the status of the two parties was now reversed. It was the two of them who had something to ask for, so they had to recruit a few people and rushed to the meeting place designated by the Chinese side early the next morning.
The team led by Ren Bingda and Gao Ning arrived at the venue deliberately.
The British people on Luoluo's side have obviously been waiting inside for a while.
"Manager Ren, you have kept us waiting this time, for a long time."
After staying in China for more than a year, George and Adam can speak some slightly blunt Chinese, obviously. He wanted to take a preemptive strike and suppress Ren Bingda's momentum.
“Huh?”
Ren Bingda looked surprised:
“I remember the reply said that the meeting was at 9:30 in the morning, and it’s only now. It's nine twenty-seven, don't be so anxious..."
This sentence made the two British people, who were still very angry just now, get stuck. After hesitating for a long time, they sat back down in their seats.
After all, in the past for meetings like this, people from China would arrive early.
The period before the official start of the meeting is mainly about setting the tone, and Luo Luo will obviously suffer some losses if he fails to calm down.
After a brief interlude, the two parties quickly took their seats.
This meeting was initiated by the British side, so the Chinese side who accepted the invitation were not in a hurry to get to the point.
No matter how George and Adam made insinuations, Ren Bingda and Gao Ning pretended not to understand and went in circles to review the friendly relations between the two parties and the huge market potential of China's aviation industry.
"Manager Ren, let's talk about the procurement of components and technology transfer for the Spey engine next year."
Even the British couldn't bear it after all. This kind of gameplay is the first to get to the point.
"Next year?"
Ren Bingda adjusted his sitting posture slightly, looked at Gao Ning next to him, and then said:
"But, we have no further plans to invest in the Sibei project next year?"
The tone was plain and the attitude was so matter-of-fact that the British person opposite even felt that he had lost his memory.
"But...but you clearly said before that this project will last for at least 3-4 years?"
George originally thought that China had been delaying it, just because they wanted to get It's a discounted price, but I didn't expect people to flip the table when they come up.
"This... we did say that."
Ren Bingda moved his upper body forward and propped himself up on the table:
"But last year it was your Rolls-Royce side that refused to sign a four-year technology transfer and supply contract at one time. It had to be signed once a year based on the actual situation."
“The actual situation now is that we no longer need you to provide the technology of SPEI MK202.”
Hearing this sentence, George was basically in a state of confusion. .
"This..."
The reason why China did not agree to the four-year contract at that time was because it required that all technical data related to SPEI MK202 must be transferred within four years.
But he and Adam hoped to delay it for a few more years and squeeze out more profits.
According to their estimates at the time, if China relied entirely on itself, it would take about 8-10 years to completely complete the localization of Sibei.
So it is completely possible to earn stable money for two to three years more than the original plan of 4 years.
The two of them were once complacent about this decision.
As a result, now, he has shot himself in the foot.
“Even so, you already have a model of aircraft that uses our engines, related components, and after-sales services...”
Adam’s response was obviously faster. Some immediately switched the topic to maintenance and security.
However, Gao Ning, who had been silent just now, added the final blow:
“Well, we have basically completed the domestic production of key consumables for the Spey engine, and for you Some improvements have been made to the unreasonable aspects of the original design.”
"Now, even if there are new aircraft to use this kind of engine, the parts and components you provide no longer meet the technical requirements of the improved version."
