Chapter 1136: The Silent Wait After Refusal (Three Shifts, One Shift Arrives)
"I'm serious, Mr. Lin, if you can order 20 D-18Ts, I have a reason to convince our government to share the D-18T patent with you, or give you a technical license." Pavel said to Lin Hongfei seriously.
100 million US dollars, you can really do a lot of things, Lin Hongfei believes that if he really said that he can purchase 20 D-18T, maybe the poor and crazy Ukrainian government will really consider Pavel's suggestion...... Of course, what the final decision will be, that is another matter, consideration is consideration, the final decision is the final decision, the two actually have no substantive relationship, and dealing with the government, these two points must be remembered.
"Forget it," Lin Hongfei seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally shook his head, "What am I spending 100 million dollars to buy 20 of these engines for?" Put it in the warehouse and look at it? If you're willing to sell me the technique, then there's still a discussion. โ
In Lin Hongfei's view, the main reason for the poor maintenance, economy and safety of D-18T is not the design, in terms of design alone, D-18T is actually a more excellent engine than the American and European high-thrust aero engine design of the same grade, the Slavs are really geniuses of system integration, just like their tanks, a bunch of third-rate parts, but the final product has first-class performance, D-18T has these problems, Compared with the United States and the British Empire, which have developed in materials science for hundreds of years and have not been affected by any sports, the Soviet aero engine industry, which has been engaged in sports at every turn, and the aero engine industry has been developing since the thirties of this century, and there is still a gap with his masters in terms of technical accumulation, material accumulation and experience accumulation, but in any case, this product still represents the top level of high-thrust aero engines in the eighties...... It's really strange to say that Lin Hongfei doesn't itch in his heart.
"That's impossible." Pavel did not hesitate at all.
"All right, but Mr. Pavel. Regarding our cooperation on small and medium-thrust turbofan engines, I hope you will be able to make a decision within three days, I mean really. Lin Hongfei couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and solemnly warned Pavel: Since you are not willing to sell D-18T, then you can hold on...... In the current Ukraine, there are still some family funds to toss, and it is far from the miserable situation that will be in three years, and I have the patience to wait for another three years.

On the Ukrainian side, no one takes Lin Hongfei's words seriously, whether it is the Antonov Design Bureau or the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau. Or the Ukrainian government, Lin Hongfei's so-called "three-day consideration period" as a negotiation strategy of Lin Hongfei: to put pressure on the Ukrainian government in this way, how can this kind of thing be done in three days? A month or two is fast, a year or two is normal. Three or five years is not surprising.
But on the afternoon of the third day, the news that Lin Hongfei's private jet was going to apply for takeoff was reported by the Civil Aviation Administration...... It's also a loss that Maklevich has an extra heart before. Say hello to the Civil Aviation Authority. Pay special attention to Lin Hongfei's plane...... The Ukrainian government really blew up: what's going on? Is this going to leave?
Marklevich, who urgently dialed the satellite phone on Lin Hongfei's plane, anxiously asked Lin Hongfei, "Mr. Lin, aren't we negotiating?" โ
"I gave you three days to make a decision, and now 72 hours have passed, and you haven't come up with a result, and I'm busy with my work. The construction of the new factory is complicated, and it is impossible to wait for you all the time," Lin Hongfei couldn't hear the frustration of the unsuccessful cooperation in his tone, "Citibank's loan has been approved." I need to go back and sign a contract with Citibank, and there is also a strong interest from the Belarusian side in supplying my company with heavy production equipment...... There's a lot of stuff waiting for me to do. โ
Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Marklevich was speechless, Lin Hongfei was right, a project with an investment of 650 million US dollars is indeed much more important than staying here and arguing with a group of bureaucrats...... If you want to blame Lin Hongfei, you can't blame it, people have already said that they will give you three days to think about it, but now you haven't thought about what happened to Lin Hongfei? The Ukrainian government really has no excuse or reason to stop Lin Hongfei from leaving, but they are even more unwilling to let Lin Hongfei leave like this.
"Mr. Lin, now that there is a discussion going on in the government, you also know that this kind of matter is very important and involves many interests......
Marklevich said, trying to redeem it in this way, but before he finished speaking, Lin Hongfei waved his hand indifferently, "Mr. Minister, I want to explain that our company already has a turboshaft engine and turboprop engine in our hands, and you plan to use it to cooperate with us to develop a series of small and medium-thrust turbofan engines, which our company naturally welcomes, and the Zaporosh Progressive Machine Building Bureau's many years of experience in aero engine design and manufacturing can save us a lot of detours." โ
"But please also remember that we can now design a turbofan engine based on the core engine of the turboshaft engine and the turboprop engine, although it will take a little longer, but it will not take so long, everything is up to me...... To put it more bluntly, my company is only going to develop light multi-role transport aircraft and business aircraft, and now I need you much less than you need me, you can understand when I say that? โ
Lin Hongfei said it so clearly, Marklevich would be a fool if he didn't understand it.
To put it bluntly, for Lin Hongfei and Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., they did not have the idea of developing large and medium-sized aircraft, in this case, the two aero engines they had previously acquired from the Zaporosh Progressive Machine Building Bureau were enough for their needs, and even if they really needed to develop turbofan engines, they also had a good core machine.
Now Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has money, equipment, a material laboratory that is being established but has been quite powerful, has technology, and most importantly, they are also very rich, and their strong financial strength allows them to poach people from major aero engine design and research and development institutions at any time...... Maklevich suddenly found that Ukraine had completely overestimated its allure to the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., for the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the importance of the Antonov Design Bureau and the Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau to them was far less important than the Ukrainian government thought, it could not be said that it was dispensable, but the importance was also quite limited, and it was ridiculous that some people were clamoring to take advantage of this opportunity to make the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. vomit blood, who is bleeding!
"I know," Maklevich nodded bitterly, "and I will tell the politicians in the government what you mean...... I wonder if there is still a chance for cooperation between us? โ
"Of course," Lin Hongfei wouldn't be so stupid as to tell the other party directly, "You can go and play with the mud!" He nodded, "Please tell the leaders of your government that I welcome the strengthening of cooperation between the two sides in the field รof aviation at any time, and I firmly believe that the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. needs Ukraine, and Ukraine also needs the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd." โ
Maklevich nodded heavily, and he had already made up his mind that after he returned, he must urge those bastards to pass the cooperation with the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd...... That's a $650 million investment, bastards! Do you know what this means for Ukraine?

"Hongfei, I'll tell you good news, my dad is now a member of the National Council." On the plane, Lin Hongfei suddenly received a call from Dongfang Xiaoling, and the Dongfang lady on the phone was filled with irrepressible excitement and excitement.
"Really? This is a great thing," Hearing the news, Lin Hongfei also suddenly became excited, he knew the meaning of this too well, he immediately asked, "When did it happen?" โ
Speaking of which, before this, Dongfang Zheng's position in the cabinet was really a little embarrassing, although he was the deputy head of the cabinet tax reform team, but in the cabinet he was not in charge of a specific work, saying that he was a "temporary worker" is no problem, but the administrative level of this "temporary worker" is too high, now well, since he has become a cabinet member, it means that his father-in-law will not appear in the situation of being sent to the original unit after the work is completed...... Don't think it's a joke, this kind of high-level joke hasn't happened once or twice in my D's history.
Cabinet members are a very special position, under the prime minister of the Zhengguo Cabinet and the vice ministers of the cabinet, but above the top leaders of the ministries and commissions at the ministerial level, they can be considered half a level lower than the vice minister, or they can be considered half a level higher than the main ministry, and they can be responsible for specific work, but they are not responsible for specific work, in short, it is a very magical position.
After the excitement, as the mood gradually calmed down, a question couldn't help but appear in Lin Hongfei's heart, and he couldn't help but ask Dongfang Xiaoling, "Why is it at this time?" It's not election year, how could Dad, huh...... This is ......"
The reason why Lin Hongfei has such a question is because the change of power of the Central Committee members, alternate members of the Central Committee, bureau committees, bureau standing committees, and state affairs committee members will inevitably occur in the year of the general election. Where did it go?
