"Mr. Chen......"

"Chairman ......"

As soon as Chen Geng walked out of the engine laboratory, Meng Haibo, Huang Wenqing, Wang Dazhi and others walked forward quickly, obviously having something to say to Chen Geng.

"Hmm...... What's the matter?"

"That's right," Meng Haibo said eagerly: "Can tomorrow's engine ignition test be postponed for some days?"

"Huh?" Chen Geng wondered: "Why?"

"Our 'tay' MK650-8C is the most advanced civilian-grade turbofan engine that can be produced in China," Meng Haibo said eagerly: "For such a big thing, shouldn't we invite some leaders over?"

Zhang Ying nodded and agreed: "I think tomorrow can actually carry out a confirmatory ignition test, if tomorrow's confirmatory ignition test is no problem, let's invite the leaders to visit again to ensure that the ignition link is foolproof." ”

What is experimental ignition?

To put it bluntly, it's a fool, tomorrow let the engine ignite to try, make sure the engine is okay, and then invite the leader, and then wait for the leader to arrive and then carry out the "official first ignition", in fact, everyone has been doing this, otherwise if the fire is not successful, the leader is angry, and the big guy's face is even more disgraceful, who will bear this responsibility at that time?

Huang Wenqing, Wang Dazhi, and some other leading comrades immediately nodded frequently, obviously they also agreed with Zhang Ying's suggestion of "starting an experimental fire tomorrow, and then officially lighting the fire according to the leader's time", and they all looked at Chen Geng eagerly.

Chen Geng smiled dumbly.

If you fail to invite leaders, not only will the event organizers be glorious, but the hearts of the participants will also beat the drums: why didn't a decent leader come, is this project not valued by the leaders?

Huang Wenqing, Meng Haibo, Wang Dazhi and others came from the old state-owned enterprises, and they naturally have a strong imprint of the characteristics of the times, not to mention that people still have administrative levels.

In addition, the reason why they mentioned this matter to Chen Geng at this time was actually to let Chen Geng personally invite: with the relationship between Mr. Chen Geng and the leaders, if he personally invited the leaders, the leaders would definitely give face, right?

He understood the thoughts of Huang Wenqing, Wang Dazhi and others, but in the face of this request, Chen Geng shook his head and shook his head: "There is no need for this." ”

“......”

No one expected Chen Geng to say this, everyone was dumbfounded, and they were speechless for a while: There is no need for this?

It was Zhang Ying who was the first to react, and he hurriedly explained to Chen Geng: "Chairman, you can't think so, although our project is the focus of the big leaders above, but now the south is ...... Well, it's going well, and if we don't show our faces in front of the leaders often and let the leaders know our progress, maybe it won't be good for us. ”

The so-called south side is actually the magic capital.

Compared with Bashu Rong City, which is located in the southwest, the magic capital can indeed be regarded as the south.

It is no wonder that Zhang Ying, Meng Haibo and others are so anxious, at the beginning of the establishment of Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Industry Group, this project was still the largest Sino-foreign and especially Sino-US cooperation project in Huaxia at that time, which had great symbolic significance and received the attention of the core leaders from top to bottom.

However, with the smooth progress of the negotiations between McDonnell Douglas, Modu Aviation Industry Company and CASC, the leaders are paying more and more attention to the investment in this project, and if the negotiations go smoothly, maybe next year they will officially sign a cooperation agreement with McDonnell Douglas, Modu Aviation Industry Co., Ltd. and CASC to cooperate in the production of MD-82 and its compensation trade. Meng Haibo, Huang Wenqing and other leaders of the former Hafei Factory and Chengfa Factory are becoming more and more unable to sit still: If this continues, don't let our Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Industry Group become a backup over there, right?

No wonder they think so, it is really a collection of McDonnell and Douglas McDonnell Douglas McDonnell Douglas is the world's first aviation manufacturing giant in this era, although the past two years seem to be slightly overpowered by Boeing, but a few years ago people are the world's No.1 in the field of civil aviation, the Dutch Falkland-United Aviation Technologies Company is not even a younger brother in front of McDonnell Douglas, in this case, even if you think with your heels, you can think of where the attention of the leaders is.

"Heh......"

Although he understood the worries of Meng Haibo and the others, Chen Geng still smiled, and his tone was still firm: "There is no need. ”

In the 10 years from the signing of the cooperation agreement in 1985 to 1994, only 35 McDonnell Douglas MD-82s were produced in the McDonnell Dalwells project, and five of them were sold back to the United States.

As for some deep-seated reasons why this project failed to succeed, Chen Geng doesn't want to say it, and he can't say it, but he still wants to compete with Fokker F100 for the market with such a little production capacity?

What's the trouble, brother?

It's just that Chen Geng is full of confidence, and in the eyes of Meng Haibo and others, it seems that he is honey confident: This is McDonnell Douglas! This is McDonnell Douglas Company! In the face of such a behemoth, do you think it is unnecessary?!

The words "crazy!" were not enough to describe the feeling that Chen Geng gave them at the moment.

Meng Haibo hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Chen, we all know that the relationship between you and the leaders is not ordinary, you don't care about this kind of thing, and you also know that the leaders are busy, but you can't think like this matter, even if it is to act for the comrades below, we have to perform this play well, you think, if a leader of enough weight does not come at that time, how will the comrades below view our project? Do they still have confidence in the future of the company?"

Hey?

Chen Geng scratched his head: It seems that ...... That's the same thing.

He forgot that he didn't care about this, but he couldn't stand that this was the national condition of the times, even if he didn't care what the company's management thought of this problem, he couldn't care less about the morale below.

"That's it!" Seeing that Chen Geng was relieved, the big guy breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly made persistent efforts: "Chairman, if you are not willing to do these trivial things, this is also easy to do, you can rest assured that we will do it properly, and we promise to do things properly." ”

With all that said, what else could Chen Geng say? He could only nod his head and be kind as a stream: "Okay, in this way, you can draw up a list for me when you go back." ”

Meng Haibo, Huang Wenqing, Wang Dazhi, Zhang Ying and others breathed a sigh of relief: It's not easy, it's finally said that this little ancestor has been moved.

....................................

The "tay" MK650-8C, which carried out the "first experimental ignition", was placed on a dedicated engine test bench, and although the engine had been thoroughly inspected yesterday, the engineers were still busy conducting the final inspection of the engine before ignition, all of which were done for the same purpose: to ensure that the first ignition process was foolproof and the first ignition was successful.

Chen Geng thought that he shouldn't be too nervous, but this time, he found that his palms were full of sweat.

All the results of the examination have been summarized here by Johnson, the interim commander-in-chief of this experimental ignition......

"The bench fixing mechanism has been inspected and it is determined that the fixation is normal. ”

"The fuel check is complete, and the fuel is confirmed to be normal. ”

"The boot machine has been checked and confirmed that the boot machine is normal. ”

"The lubricating oil system has been inspected and confirmed to be normal. ”

"The fuel delivery system has been inspected and confirmed that the fuel delivery system is in good working order. ”

"The instrument system has been checked and confirmed to be in good working order. ”

"The real-time monitoring system of engine working status has been checked, and it is confirmed that the real-time monitoring system of engine working status is normal. ”

"All safety systems have been checked and confirmed that the safety systems are in order. ”

"All subsystems have been checked and all subsystems are confirmed to be in good order. ”

"The host has been checked and the host is ...... normal"

........................

When all the inspection items were checked one by one, Johnson turned his head to look at Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez?"

Chen Geng understood what Johnson meant, but he shook his head lightly and politely refused: "Mr. Johnson, you are the commander-in-chief today." ”

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes......

Meng Haibo hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Chen, we all know that the relationship between you and the leaders is not ordinary, you don't care about this kind of thing, and you also know that the leaders are busy, but you can't think like this matter, even if it is to act for the comrades below, we have to perform this play well, you think, if a leader of enough weight does not come at that time, how will the comrades below view our project?
