Chapter 800 Shocked French Chicken for a Whole Year
At this time, Chang Haonan, who had just replied to Perelman’s email, naturally did not know that these emails between the two of them would have a profound impact on the entire human mathematics. It left a mark in history, and was even dubbed the "New Millennium Mail" by busybodies because it was close to December 31, 1999.
Actually, according to his work efficiency, the reply should have been sent earlier.
The main reason why Perelman waited so long in despair was because, by coincidence, the day after he received the email from the other party, a team of Snecma and A French defense industry delegation headed by Dassault flew to China.
The purpose is, of course, to concretely implement the cooperative research and development of the M88 engine after reaching a certain consensus in the preliminary negotiations.
As the chief planner of the Aerospace Power Group and perhaps one of the most experienced people in China in exporting technology to foreign countries, Chang Haonan naturally became the person in charge of this matter.
Of course, his presence is definitely not required in the negotiations.
At least not at first.
This can also be regarded as a little negotiation trick -
It is best to let the second-in-command of the team come forward to preside over the negotiations. This way, while the standards are high enough, if you really encounter any problems, you can also use "need" "Report for instructions" is delayed.
And if the person who can make the final decision is present, it will lead to a lack of buffering in the situation.
But not attending does not mean not paying attention.
Remote control command is more troublesome.
……
Qin Province, Haojing.
Since the negotiation in 1997, this place has almost become a window for China’s foreign cooperation in the aviation field, especially cooperation with the European Union.
Perhaps it is because the joint venture with Boeing did achieve a win-win situation, so even Europeans have some inexplicable affection for Hao Jing.
I have been to China several times for meetings or negotiations, and I have always mentioned that the venue should be set up here.
Finmeccanica and Airbus even set up their offices in China in Haojing.
It made an inland city that was not originally open to a high level start systematic foreign-related business.
And this time is no exception.
Although Dassault’s military aircraft department and Snecma Group have not had much communication with China in the past ten years, they have still learned from the experience of their peers.
Aviation Hotel.
It is actually the location of the negotiation venue.
Later it was acquired by Haofei Group and renamed.
About twenty people entered the conference room on the top floor one after another and sat down on both sides of the long conference table.
But no one spoke immediately.
There was an eerie silence in the room.
The eyes collided fiercely in mid-air.
The atmosphere was at an extreme stalemate.
Although the two sides reached an agreement on "cooperation", when it came time to dig into the details, since it was a sensitive military-related project after all, there were still many differences.
One of the most critical ones——
China believes that since you want us to help solve the problem, it should be reasonable to first transport us an M88 engine to take a look. Request it?
But the French side's reaction was that you are not kidding me. If you transport the engine to China, and then send it to a high-altitude platform for testing, wouldn't you know everything?
What is the difference between this and letting us run naked in front of you?
They believe that the cooperation model between Bingcheng Aircraft Industry Group and Eurocopter should be followed, with China sending technical personnel to France to participate in the project. They also said that money is not an issue, and all Chinese technical personnel will receive business travel subsidies in accordance with French standards.
We said that this is to solve the problem for you. You should have paid the labor fee. The reason why Icefly and Eurocopter cooperate in France is because the two parties are each other's suppliers at the legal level. And in turn, the Eurocopter Group also sent people to our side to guide the research and development of the Z-12 helicopter. There is no comparison with the situation of the M88...
In short, the two sides just went back and forth, doing oral gymnastics. It's been a whole morning, but no progress has been made.
The afternoon negotiations began in this atmosphere.
But what is different from the morning is that this time, Liu Yongquan, the on-site person in charge of the Chinese side, has an extra notebook in front of him.
A notebook full of notes.
Finally, after a slightly awkward opening remarks, the afternoon session officially began.
The focus of the dispute between the two parties, as well as their respective attitudes, seemed to be no different from the morning. Until Liu Yongquan opened his mouth.
The first sentence made the Frenchman on the opposite side almost break the defense.
"Actually, your concern about leaking technical secrets is unreasonable, because we actually now have a general understanding of the situation of the M88 engine and the problems it faces, so there is nothing to leak."
Opposite Snee The people in Kema were stunned after hearing this, and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.
Liu Yongquan did not give them a chance to respond.
He opened the book on the table.
That was given to him by Chang Haonan before the negotiation.
"Brilliant tips."
The content inside...
To be honest, Liu Yongquan himself didn’t dare to believe it.
That’s why I didn’t take it out in the morning.
But seeing the negotiations reaching a deadlock, he had no choice but to consider taking drastic measures.
"Let me give you an example."
He stared closely into the eyes of Ian Vista, a senior engineer from the Snecma Group opposite:
"Is the M88 engine in the middle of the rain?" In the above weather conditions and low speed operation, it is easy for the combustion chamber to stall and eventually cause the engine to stop?"
Vesta's whole body shook suddenly, obviously he wanted to answer subconsciously, and then he realized This was on the negotiation table, so Shengsheng stopped moving.
However, Liu Yongquan could clearly see that the other party was just about to nod.
This feedback gave him strong confidence.
So, he continued:
"In addition, when the fan speed is maintained near 85% for a long time, the first-stage fan will have a high probability of entering resonance, causing the blade structure and even the engine to The inner wall of the outer receiver is damaged"
"And..."
"..."
Every time Liu Yongquan said something, the faces of Vesta and the opponent's general manager, Charles Edsteiner, turned pale.
And because they were originally white, when the former closed the book and raised his head again, there was no color on their faces...
"Finally , and one more thing.”
Liu Yongquan closed the book again:
“After the first overhaul of the engine, after another 1000-1500 cycles, expansion will be found on the surface of the turbine wheel. There will be permanent cracks, but the cycle life of this component should be much longer.”
"You probably haven't discovered this problem yet, but it does exist. If you don't believe it, you can test it specifically after returning to China..."
The whole place fell silent again.
Only this time, there was no more eye contact.
Obviously, this wave just caused a lot of psychological damage to the opponent.
“We…”
Ed Steiner's voice was trembling when he spoke:
"We want to apply for an adjournment..."
Liu Yongquan showed a kind smile, nodded, and signaled the other party to please excuse him.
