Maklevich's surprise lasted less than 10 minutes, and when he read the framework agreement on grain for planes preliminarily drawn up by Lin Hongfei and the Belarusian Council of Ministers at a glance, the whole person's heart was filled with boundless happiness: God, this is really a pillow sent when he was sleepy!

Is there a plane in Ukraine? Of course! Compared with Belarus, Ukraine not only has the most famous design and production enterprise of heavy transport aircraft and civil airliners in the former Soviet Union: Antonov Design Bureau, but also the best design and production enterprise of heavy afterburnerless turbofan engines, turbojet engines, turboprop engines, turboshaft engines and propeller engines in the former Soviet Union: the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau of the former Soviet Union.

Compared with Belarus, Ukraine has a natural advantage, but it is just an airplane, and like Belarus, now Ukraine's planes also have to lie on the ground all year round due to the extreme shortage of funds, rather than letting these planes rot there, it is better to exchange them directly for food.

He asked Lin Hongfei in a trembling tone of disbelief and excitement that would appear when anyone was hit on the head by an oversized pie falling from the sky, "Mr. Lin, do you mean that you want to use this cooperation agreement as a blueprint to cooperate with Ukraine in exchanging grain for planes?" ”

"We respect the meaning of the Ukrainian side." Lin Hongfei smiled very happily and put forward his own requirements, "Mr. Minister, our company has reached a cooperation agreement with your country's Cice Engine Research and Production Consortium, and I hope that your government can pass the review of this cooperation as soon as possible." ”

"There is no problem, I will urge Mr. President to pass it as soon as possible." Marklevich's head was like a rattle: Lin Hongfei already knew about the cooperation agreement between Lin Hongfei and the Zaporosh Progressive Machine Building Bureau, small turbofan engines and small turboprop engines, which were nothing, they were all things that would only be used in small aircraft. It will not pose a threat to the national defense of any country at all, and if it is sold, it will be sold, and food is more important than that thing.

————————————————————————

Lin Hongfei went to Ukraine, this is not a secret, and the Belarusian side did not take it too seriously, but when the news came from Belarus, saying that there was conclusive evidence that Lin Hongfei seemed to have shown great impatience with the Belarusian Council of Ministers, and instead sought cooperation with Ukraine in exchange for grain for planes, the Belarusian high-level panicked.

Collective silence!

Even the most pessimistic people who were previously made about the decision of the Council of Ministers of Belarus and the Council of Power of the Supreme Soviet of Belarus. I didn't expect Lin Hongfei to be so resolute and so unrelenting, and as soon as he saw that he couldn't do anything, he immediately withdrew...... Nima! Isn't this scientific, don't the Chinese all like to grind and chirp? Especially when they are in demand.

Of course, everyone understands. Now is not the time to ask whether this is scientific or not, the point is. How can Lin Hongfei bring the grain back again?

Shushkevich glanced at everyone in the room. People's Deputy of the Supreme Soviet Lukashenko was looking down at the information in front of him, his frowning brow as if he was deeply anxious about the matter in front of him, but the smile at the corner of his mouth, which he didn't know whether it should be called a smile, betrayed his heart; Kolodeev's face was serious, as the chief of staff of the Supreme Soviet, he was really anxious about this matter; Vladimir was drinking coffee incessantly, as if to remind his brain to stay awake. Poor chairman of the Council of Ministers, who has been almost crazy under the pressure of Myasnikovich every step of this time......

It's a picture of all beings.

"Let's talk about it, how can you convince Lin Hongfei that bastard to bring the grain over?" Shushkevich knocked on the table, his voice inevitably tinged with anxiety...... What is hateful is that it was just after signing a contract with Lin Hongfei. Belarus has publicized this matter in the name of the Supreme Soviet Committee of Rights, and countless people are waiting for this $100 million worth of food to save their lives, otherwise they will not finally let themselves and others be so passive.

His gaze swept around the crowd and finally fell on Kolodeev, the head of the staff of the Supreme Soviet, "Mr. Kolodeev, what do you think?" ”

What can I think? If it weren't for the clever efforts of some people to mess around, this would not have happened at all, he smiled bitterly, "I personally believe that the top priority is to quickly agree with Mr. Lin on this matter, so that he agrees to send this batch of grain to our Belarus...... Sometimes we have no choice for the sake of the well-being of the population. ”

This is said very implicitly, but which one of the people present is not a human spirit, how can he not understand what Kolodeev means? It's nothing more than bowing to Lin Hongfei, just looking for a high-sounding excuse.

"Don't we have any other way?" Shushkevich was a little unwilling, lowered his head and cursed in a low voice: "What a fucking hell! ”

"The grain is still in the Atlantic," Kolodeev smiled bitterly, "and at the call of his one, the grain ship will immediately rush to the place he has designed, it can be Lithuania, Poland or Latvia, and of course it can be Ukraine...... The poor people in Ukraine don't face any better food problems than we do, and I think we'll have to think about what extra price we need to pay to get that bastard Lin Hongfei to agree to our demands. ”

As soon as Kolodeev's words came out, no one spoke anymore, for the food crisis in Ukraine, they also know very well, although Ukraine was known as the granary of the Red Empire in the Soviet era, but this granary has never played a big role, Ukrainians have to go hungry, in other things, everyone looks at each other's faces as former Soviet republics, and they can probably be humble, but only food is a thing, which is absolutely unacceptable...... Whether you can sit in this seat depends on the votes in the hands of the voters, and the votes in the hands of the ordinary people are directly related to the food in Lin Hongfei's hands.

At this time, the political elite suddenly felt that democracy and freedom did not seem to be so good.

That's right. The food is still in Lin Hongfei's hands.

Kolodeev's words reminded the seemingly lethargic political elites present, and finally pulled back the theme of the meeting: since bowing to Lin Hongfei has become inevitable, what additional price should Belarus pay for it?

What the fuck!

————————————————————————

In order to be able to get the grain in the hands of Lin Hongfei, the Ukrainian side did not set up any obstacles to the cooperation between the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau, but in order to promote the cooperation between the two sides, it took the initiative to actively promote the cooperation between the two sides. It was discovered that the road in front of the gate of the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau had been closed.

Lin Hongfei finally understood what he was doing, Marklevich strongly recommended that he fly the plane directly to the Zaporosh Progressive Machine Manufacturing Bureau, and dare to land on the "runway" with a sufficient length!

But obviously. The pendulum worked, and when they saw that their future partner was a big boss with a luxury jet private jet, the engineers and technicians of the Zaporos Progressive Machine Building Bureau's small turboprop and small turbofan engines, who had been a little apprehensive before, were relieved: this was a rich boss.

There's nothing like a private jet to show the strength of a boss, and the people at the Zaporos Progressive Machine Building Bureau are not stupid, they know it well. Raise such a guy, even if you only fly 100 hours a year. The amount of money it would cost me couldn't even think about it.

After shaking hands with Dmitry, the chief designer of the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau. Lin Hongfei only said one sentence to his future employees, and they all blushed with excitement, "I hope that in the future, my aircraft can use the engines designed and manufactured by you, and I hope that my company will become one of the top international private jets and business jets in the future...... Of course. As for you, I know that the most important thing you want to hear is one thing, and now I can tell you: guys, you can get at least $1,000 a month. Under normal circumstances, you can get $2,000. ”

$2,000 is a lot, especially when they are paid less than $100 a month, and as small jet engine developers, they know they can't compete with those who develop large engines.

Not only these people, but also the designers and engineers who were not involved in this collaboration were envious of the two red eyes: this is 2,000 dollars!

Marklevich suddenly had a big headache: Lin Hongfei, this bastard, took his own army all at once!

Sure enough, the next moment, the situation that Maklevich least wanted to see appeared, and after a short calm on the scene, someone suddenly asked Lin Hongfei in a loud voice, "Mr. Lin, I am studying the rotary paddle fan, can I join your company?" ”

Study of propellers? Lin Hongfei didn't know what was the rotary propeller fan, and he took it for granted that this thing was a propeller, probably similar to the opposite rotary propeller used in the Figure 95?

This is a good thing, and the people who study this thing are also the talents they need, Lin Hongfei nodded with a smile, "Of course, of course I welcome ...... But it depends on what Mr. Dmitry means. ”

"Of course there is no problem," Dmitry said this guy, a believer in crazy paddle fan engines, believing that paddle fans will replace propellers as a new generation of aircraft propulsion equipment, but there are too many problems to be solved by paddle fans, and it can be expected that within 10 years, the Progress Machine Building Bureau will not have the strength to develop this thing, and it is better to be a good man than to waste it in his own hands, "Arbuzov, I hope you can have a happy life in your new company." ”

As soon as Dmitry said this, he was immediately shocked, and countless guys who had long been red-eyed suddenly jumped to their feet, "Mr. Lin, I'm a turboprop ......."

"I'm a turbojet ......"

………………

In an instant, Dmitry and Maklevich, who were still smiling just now, sweated on their faces: although several technical masters of the Design Bureau have not moved, these guys who are clamoring to fly away with Lin Hong are all the hope for the future of the Progressive Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, if they leave, the Progressive Machinery Manufacturing Bureau will fall into an embarrassing situation in 10 years, this is ...... The only thing to be thankful for is that Lin Hongfei doesn't seem to be very interested in these companies that are engaged in large turbines, and this Dmitry and Marklevich are finally a little more relaxed.

But at this moment, an old, hesitant and determined voice rang out, "Mr. Lin, are you interested in a radial piston engine?" ”

A radial piston engine?!

There was an eerie silence at the scene.

This eerie silence only lasted for a few seconds, and the next moment, as if it was a signal, a burst of laughter from almost everyone rushed into the sky: "Ha Lu haha......"

Even a fool can hear it, this laughter is full of mockery and sarcasm, but only Lin Hongfei did not laugh, his eyes fell on the owner of this voice, this is an old man with gray hair and beard, wearing a shabby and oily overalls, his tall figure is like carrying a heavy mountain at the moment, and the years have carved countless ravines like the Loess Plateau on his old face, making his old face look more and more old.

"Who is he?" Looking at this old man who looked at him with a look of anticipation and faint fear, Lin Hongfei frowned and asked Dmitry, "It seems to be very promising." ”

"Mr. Chaprekin is indeed very promising, he was one of the designers of the Central Institute of Gas and Fluid Power of the Soviet Union during the former Soviet Union, and he successfully participated in the imitation of the Ash82 star-shaped piston engine in the forties," Seeing Lin Hongfei's confused face, Dmitry, who realized that he was playing the piano to the cow, immediately corrected the mistake in his words, "This engine was later used in a large number of La-7 fighters and Mi-4 helicopters. It was a star-shaped piston air-cooled engine that was very good at the time, and he later designed several star-piston engines. (To be continued.) )
