When Lin Hongfei has settled down in the hotel, the Ukrainian presidential palace is still brightly lit, and an emergency meeting is being held, which is attended not only by the then President of Ukraine Leonid, the prime minister, the speaker of parliament, and the heads of various departments, but even the heads of the Antonov Design Bureau, the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau and the Shuguang Machinery Design and Production Complex are also on top of it, and the importance that the Ukrainian government attaches to this matter can be seen. Even the Tymoshenko that Lin Hongfei saw at the airport during the day was among them, which couldn't help but be a little surprising.

President Leonid sat at the end of the chair, his brows furrowed, his fingers crossed together, but his thumb was unconsciously circling in the air, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of these cooperation conditions proposed by Lin Hongfei...... Is it true or fake? This National Air and Space Museum of Ukraine, do you think it can be established? ”

When he said this, the first thing he stared at was the general director of the Antonov Design Bureau, Kachikhanov.

"We think it's very likely," Kakikhanov's expression was solemn, with a faint hint of eagerness, "Mr. President, you should probably remember that before that, Lin and his company had purchased information and patent rights for two aircraft in our design bureau, and their company had a huge cash flow and market, and even set up an aircraft manufacturing plant in the United States, which is enough to prove that they intend to show their skills in the aviation market." ”

That's right, what Kachikhanov said Leonid naturally knew the way, but it was precisely because of the way that he was a little unwilling, "Is it possible for us to persuade Lin to let us help him produce the plane he wants?" ”

Kakikhanov was immediately impressed!

In cooperation with the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in the development of aircraft, it is not as comfortable as producing and developing aircraft on its own, and if this is the case, the Antonov Design Bureau will naturally be able to earn the biggest piece of cake from it. But because it took a long time, Kakikhanov shook his head with great difficulty, "It's hard to ......"

"Is it impossible or difficult?" Leonid keenly grasped the words of Kakikhanov's words.

"To be precise, it should be impossible," despite the excitement in his heart, after some hesitation, Kakikhanov shook his head bitterly, "We have carefully analyzed the thinking and style of Lin and his company, their company is completely different from many state-owned enterprises in their country, and they will also buy some technology. For example, in terms of automotive technology, there are no more than 10 companies in the world that can independently master the full set of core technologies of engine, transmission and chassis technology. But now, they have mastered the full set of techniques; ”

"In the field of aviation. They have completed the layout of turboprop engines, turboshaft engines, as well as turbofan engine engines. The initial layout of the product line from light transport aircraft to medium passenger aircraft has also been completed, although it is very simple, but ......"

But how, Kakikhanov didn't say, but there is no need for Kakikhanov to continue, everyone at the meeting understood the meaning of what Kakikhanov said that he did not say: such a company with a strong desire to control. They would never agree to hand over production to the Antonov Design Bureau, and they cooperated with the Antonov Design Bureau only because their existing technical level was not up to the mark, and in order to speed up the pace, they had to cooperate with the Antonov Design Bureau.

"According to the information we have. Lin's father-in-law had a huge influence in their country's civil aviation system. Tymoshenko, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly interjected.

Hearing Tymoshenko's words, the hearts of all the participants suddenly trembled: Doesn't this mean that Lin Hongfei has long regarded their country's civil aviation field as his private territory? The aviation market of a vast country of 1.1 billion people that is closed and does not allow competitors to exist...... God, even if their economy is only growing at a normal rate of 4% per year, how many planes will they need to buy per year in 10 years?

Kachikhanov was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, he trembled violently.

Others may not have a deep and direct feeling about what Tymoshenko said, but Kachikhanov, as the general manager of the Antonov Design Bureau, is particularly sensitive to this aspect, and when Tymoshenko said this, he almost instinctively realized that if this is really the case, not too much, even if their company only occupies a quarter to a third of their country's civil aircraft market share, it is a huge market of 10 to 2 billion US dollars per year!

A huge market of $1 billion to $2 billion! When he realized this, Kakikhanov's whole body trembled violently: it was okay if he didn't realize it, but if he realized this and didn't do anything, Kachikhanov couldn't forgive himself.

"By all means...... We must establish a full range of strategic cooperative relations with Lin and his company, even if our AN-124 and AN-225 aircraft technology and D-18T engine technology are also listed as cooperation projects, we must also establish a comprehensive cooperative relationship with them! Kakikhanov said loudly with a hideous face, and at the same time slammed the table hard.

"Are you crazy?" Dmitry, the chief designer of the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau, was shocked, "The D-18T engine is the treasure of our design bureau!" ”

"It's your housekeeper, yes, but can you make it yourself now?" Kachikhanov was very reluctant to give Dmitry a sneer, and his face was full of ridicule, "With the situation of your progressive machine-building bureau, within 10 years...... No, it's not even possible to produce it in 20 years, right? can only produce a few small parts for others, hanging half-dead. ”

Dmitry's face was flushed with anger!

But for a while, Dmitry couldn't say a word of rebuttal, Kachikhanov was right, although the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau has all the intellectual property rights of the D-18T engine and the production capacity of most of the parts, but several of the core components need to be provided by several Russian enterprises, without the cooperation of relevant Russian enterprises, but now Russia's military industrial strength has also suffered serious losses, and it is impossible to provide Ukraine with several core components for the production of D-18T, There are no more Russian-supplied spare parts. The D-18T materials in the hands of Ukraine are just a pile of waste paper, which is of no use.

But Kaqikhanov was unforgiving, "D-18T is still one of the most advanced super-thrust turbofan engines in the world, but since we can't produce this engine ourselves in the next 20 years, have you ever thought about what kind of technical level this engine will be in the world after 20 years if we don't invest money to upgrade and improve this engine?" It can only be regarded as midstream, right? And what about 30 years from now? ”

Kakikhanov's words are really a businessman, and Dmitry can't hold back his temper no matter how good he is, and he blushed and said, "As long as there is enough financial support, we will definitely be able to produce all the parts of D-18T by ourselves." It can also improve the model with better performance, believe it or not? ”

"I believe it!" Kakikhanov nodded, not at all embarrassed, bowing his head, "That's right, I admit it. As long as the state invests money in you, you will definitely be able to produce better engines. ”

"Just know the way." Dmitry was overjoyed.

But not before his smile bloomed. Kachikhanov continued. "But I need to remind someone, is there money for you in Ukraine now?"

Dmitry was stunned for a moment.

Funded by the state? No kidding, this kind of product, which represents the most cutting-edge technology in the field of aero engines in the world, even if it is only improved, will cost tens of millions of dollars every year, with the half-dead situation of Ukraine. You can't do this in 10 years, and if you can't do it, then everything is in the air.

Kachikhanov was unforgiving, "Now Lin has obtained four engines: D-30, D-30KU, D-30KP, and D-30F-6. They are cooperating with the Soloviev Design Bureau on this series of engines, and we have reason to believe that they have obtained the technical information of these engines, and now they also have the Lingtai HK-32 engine as a sample, Mr. Dmitry, you should know that the D-30K series engines have the potential to be transformed into turbofans with large bypass ratios after increasing the front-end fan, do you think that when they are in the D- On the basis of the 30 series engine, when the turbofan engine with a large bypass ratio of more than 5 is developed, can your D-18T still sell at a good price? ”

Dmitry's face turned white suddenly.

Not only Dmitry's face turned pale, but the faces of the other people in the conference room did not look good, and everyone realized this problem: without the Progress Machine Manufacturing Bureau, Lin Hongfei and his Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. would be able to play with aero engines.

It's just that Dmitry still refuses to admit defeat, "That being said, it takes time for them to digest and absorb these techniques...... With the level of industry, materials and precision machining technology in their country, it would be very good to be able to do it well in 10 years. ”

"That's right, I admit that it takes time for them to digest and absorb these techniques, but I know that they have even set up a materials laboratory and a titanium alloy factory, and invest a lot of money in research every year, with the support of their country, it should not be difficult for them to initially master and absorb these techniques in 10 years, right?" Kakikhanov sneered, "People are not short of money. ”

Dmitry's face was red and white, and after pondering for a long time, he finally let out a long sigh and could not say a word.

He has always been proud of the D-18T turbofan engine mastered by the Zaporosh Progressive Machine Building Bureau, which is one of only three large-bypass turbofan engines with a maximum thrust of more than 20 tons in the world, but now, the D-18T has fallen to the point where no one cares about it one day.

He wanted to say that the bastard Khakikhanov was talking nonsense and being alarmist, but after all, he was the chief designer of the Progressive Machine Manufacturing Bureau, and he naturally knew the Tao and had complete technical information, and if there was the cooperation of the state and sufficient financial guarantees, it would not be impossible to manufacture a large ducted turbofan engine with a maximum thrust of 20 tons in 10 years.

I think I have a treasure in my hand, but I forget that this treasure is time-sensitive, and the treasure in my hand is worth a lot now, but it doesn't mean that I can sell it for a good price in the future.

Not only did Dmitry have nothing to say, but in the entire huge conference room, the others were also silent, originally everyone thought that they had a treasure in their hands and could sell at a price, but they didn't expect that they didn't have much capital to sell at all.

Of course, if Ukraine just stiffens its neck and says that we would rather live this kind of hard life than cooperate with you Lin Hongfei, that is another situation, but obviously, the current Ukraine absolutely does not have this idea, otherwise there would not be this secret meeting tonight, the power of 300 million US dollars is not a joke, everyone just held this meeting, the fundamental reason is nothing more than scruples about the United States and Russia...... Unlucky Ukraine, like a rat in a bellows, is angry at both ends.

"Mr. President?" Dmitry, who sighed, looked at President Leonid.

Dmitry was moved, since he didn't have much capital to sell the things in his hand, it was better to sell them at a good price while he could still sell them at a good price, but the problem was that after all, the D-18T was also a piece of equipment that could have a huge impact on a country's strategic security, no matter how much he was tempted, this matter must be decided by President Leonid.

"Really...... Is there no other way? Leonid frowned, things have been made clear, this situation is like this, there are several techniques mastered by the D-18T and the Antonov Design Bureau, and they are all like this, what gives Leonid a headache, he is unwilling, really unwilling.

This time, no one looked up, and everyone couldn't help but slander in their hearts: It's all like this, who can do anything?

Speaking of which, Mr. President is also depressed enough, Ukraine at this time needs American assistance, so he does not dare to offend the Americans; Now Ukraine also needs Russia's support in terms of energy and raw materials, so he also does not dare to offend Russia too deeply, but on the contrary, the engine of this level of D-18T is a project of the entire Western world that has been tightly sealed by the republic, although Ukraine is not a member of the European Union and does not have to abide by the regulations of Batumi, but with such a layer of thought, he can't help but feel jealous: Who can tell me, what should I do?
