Chapter 940: Thunderbolt on a Sunny Day
"This is easy to say, I have already prepared it for you," Chen Geng replied, Chen Geng, who was already familiar with the "national conditions" of the Soviet Union and could not be more familiar, had already prepared Nikolai Malenkov's activity funds, as for how much Nikolai Malenkov wanted to put in his pocket, Chen Geng believed that this guy was not a fool: "But there is one more thing ......"
Seeing that Chen Geng agreed so happily, Nikolai Malenkov was overjoyed and hurriedly nodded: "Mr. Fernandez, you say." ”
"Although we have not yet reached an agreement, you are responsible for spreading the news to me, saying that COMAC is ready to cooperate with the Tupolev Design Bureau to import the manufacturing technology of the Tu-204 passenger aircraft from the Soviet Union, and you, the Soviet Union, are very interested in this cooperation proposal. ”
“......”
Nikolai Malenkov blinked, not quite understanding why Chen Geng did this.
Chen Geng didn't explain, but just told Nikolai Malenkov to do it.
..............................
Nikolai Malenkov didn't understand why Chen Geng wanted to publicize the news of the cooperation between the COMAC Group and the Tupolev Design Bureau, but for Europeans, any news about the Soviet Union was news that must be treated with caution, so it is conceivable that when the news of the Soviet Union's Tupolev Design Bureau's intention to cooperate with the Huaxia COMAC Group reached the Netherlands, the Dutch Falkland-United Aviation Technology Company immediately exploded, and a layer of depression shrouded the entire company.
As we mentioned earlier, after the successful development of the Fokker F100 and the good sales volume, the management of Fokker ambitiously reached out downstream, and developed the F70 based on the F100 with a shortened fuselage, a thrust-reducing engine, and a version of the avionics system shared with the F100.
Fokker company's idea is very good, with F100 to focus on the large regional jet civil aviation market, with F70 to focus on the mainstream regional transportation market, through the market downward move to increase the market share of Fokker Group, but the market has backhanded to Falkland-United Aviation Technology Company a big ear scraper: because of the world's regional aircraft overcapacity during this period, and the competition among regional aircraft manufacturers is particularly fierce, F70 sales are far from reaching the expected goals of Fokker executives, and Fokker aircraft's main pillar model: Fokker F100 was squeezed by Boeing and Airbus, and sales were blockedAs a result, Fokker has experienced serious operating difficulties.
Originally, according to the idea of Fokker executives, it was to help Chen Geng's COMAC Group develop the F150...... In fact, it is a ruthless slaughter of Chen Geng...... In exchange for funds to improve its own predicament, but at this time, the news came that COMAC was ready to cooperate with the Soviets and introduce their latest Tu-204 large narrow-body trunk airliner from the Soviet Union, which has not yet been fully finalized......
"Is the message confirmed?"
Faced with this news like a thunderbolt from the blue, Anthony Fokker, chairman of Fokker Aircraft, also panicked, and he anxiously asked Jack Schwarzer, who came to report the news to him: "Has it been confirmed by the Soviet Union?"
"It's true," Jack Schwarzer said, "The German journalist raised this issue with the Soviet side at a press conference, and the spokesman of the Soviet government personally admitted that the Huaxia COMAC Group was in contact with the Tupolev Design Bureau, and the specific details ......of cooperation were still being discussed."
“......”
Anthony Faulk collapsed in his chair.
Still talking?
Of course, with such a large-scale cooperation, it is so easy for the two associations to reach a cooperation agreement? It is normal to spend one or two or even two or three years on communication, coordination, and negotiation, but this is not important!
The important point is that the COMAC Group occupies the world's most potential civil aviation market, and the Soviet Union's Tupolev Design Bureau is recognized as one of the world's top large trunk aircraft design units, to say that the ability of the Tupolev Design Bureau is better than Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell Douglas, Lockheed (Lockheed during this period, is also one of the world's top large mainline aircraft manufacturers, the technical level is not weaker than Boeing, the representative work of this period is the L-1011 "Samsung" airliner, and Boeing 747, McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is an aircraft of the same class) How much worse these large European and American aircraft manufacturing companies are, it is really not likely, the reason why a series of aircraft designed and manufactured by the Tupolev Design Bureau is somewhat different from European and American products in terms of economy, I am afraid that this gap mainly comes from the gap in the industrial and technological level of the Soviet Union itself.
In any case, the overall technical level of the Tupolev Design Bureau is much higher than that of the Falkland-United Aviation Technology Company, and the most important thing is that the Tu-204 is a new generation of large narrow-body trunk airliners at the 200-seat level, similar to the Boeing 757, which is much more powerful than the F150 proposed by COMAC.
