Chapter 476 Buy ten engines and come back

  Standing in the busy Zhenhua Heavy Industry factory, looking at the lively production scenes around, Qin Tao said to Guan Tong: "Guan Lao, you Zhenhua Heavy Industry have done us a big favor this time."

"President Qin, you were the one who extended a helping hand when we were most in danger, so as long as you need it, just tell us, even if we do less business, we must go all out to complete the tasks you have given us." Guan Tong said: "Besides, it's not a big deal this time, it's just a small thing to do on the way back to Maple Leaf Country."

This is not a trivial matter. If it is discovered, Zhenhua Heavy Industries will also get into big trouble. However, after receiving the news from Qin Tao, Guan Tong still agreed without hesitation. This is a kind of unconditional trust. It's a touching reciprocation.

   Without Qin Tao, Zhenhua Heavy Industry would not be where they are today. Therefore, no matter what Qin Tao asks them to do, they will never hesitate, not to mention that it is something that is beneficial to the country. Zhenhua Heavy Industry is duty-bound.

  Of course, all relevant personnel will completely forget about it after the incident is over, and it will rot in their stomachs forever, and they must not speak out.

  A secret is always a secret.

  Old Shi beside him was looking forward to it even more.

   "Mr. Qin, Mr. Guan, when will the things arrive?"

   "Don't worry, since we're here, we must be here soon. Don't be afraid of being late for a good meal, so there's no need to worry."

  Qin Tao was not in a hurry. He looked at the Hong Kong Machinery around him, still in high spirits.

   "We are in the shipyard on the Rainbow Country and plan to build small yachts. However, it would be beneficial to have two gantry cranes. The ships built on the berth can be hoisted directly to the nearby dock."

  Hearing Qin Tao's words, Guan Tong nodded again and again: "It's very exciting to enter the water like this, Mr. Qin, if you need it, we will provide it at a cost price."

"That can't be done, business is to make money, otherwise you can eat and drink whatever you want." Qin Tao said: "The normal market price is fine, which is already much cheaper than similar products in the West. In the future, in this field, you will definitely One company dominates and crowds out all other companies."

   Guan Tong has a smile on his face, this is also his idea, he wants to be the strongest in the world!

  At this time, a large ship was slowly moving over. Seeing this ship, Shi Lao became excited again: "Zhenhua No. 1, Zhenhua No. 1, things are back!"

  Qin Tao raised his head and looked at the sky: "It's still early, I think, let's go to eat first."

Have a meal? At this time, Mr. Shi was not in the mood to eat, but he seemed to understand Qin Tao's meaning, so he could only nod reluctantly: "Okay, eat, after dinner, it will be dark."

  After Mr. Shi finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Tao with some dissatisfaction. He knew it would be dark before he could come here, so why are we waiting here?

  Qin Tao seemed to know what Shi Lao was thinking, and said with a smile: "We didn't come to pick up the boat just now, we just came here to have a look."

   Well, you are right, Shi Lao looked at Qin Tao helplessly, disapproving of Qin Tao's remarks, but there is no other way.

  Time passed while waiting, and when it finally got dark, Shi Lao had already stood on the pier of Zhenhua Heavy Industry.

   "Be careful, you have to hang on the stress point of the plane!" Seeing the crane coming and starting to lift the most precious plane above, Shi Lao's heart was agitated, he didn't want any problems with the plane.

  Qin Tao didn't care much about these little things, he was talking to Delano.

"You guy, you are really capable, you didn't spend any money!" Qin Tao looked at Delano with a smile: "However, we kept our promise, the 10 million can be reimbursed if you spend too much, and if you spend less, The rest is yours, and if you have the ability, you can take the money."

  Draenor's face was full of smiles: "That's natural, I just want to keep more money, with this ten million, I can live the life I want!"

Xu Zhengyang sighed from the side, Mr. Qin's charm is too great, and he can always subtly influence a large number of people. The same is true for Delano. He has not been with Mr. Qin for a long time, and he gave this empty-handed white wolf's ability to him. Learned it!

   "However, you'd better stay in our country recently. If you go to Europe to spend time and drink, if someone finds out, there will be problems." Qin Tao continued.

  Delano did not sign any work contract with Qin Tao. He is a free agent. Now he has 10 million yuan. Who knows if he will be eager to go to the West to live the life he wants?

  Qin Tao can't interfere, he can only persuade.

  Draenor's face also became serious.

Qin Tao is right, he just wants to go to the west to live the life he wants, but if he is found in the west, it will be very troublesome, even if he made up a lie, saying that he crashed with the plane, Then he was rescued by a passing ship or something, that's not okay, at least he drove the plane into the water, and he has to lose money!

  Boeing company wants to claim compensation, there are many ways, he probably has to spit out all the tens of millions.

  So, he swallowed: "Okay, I'll stay here for now."

Scaring Delano, Qin Tao went to see the plane. At this time, the plane had been hoisted from Zhenhua No. 1 to the pier beside it, and a trailer was placed underneath, and it was being pushed forward, planning to go to the nearby Take it apart in the warehouse.

  No way, the plane didn’t release the landing gear before it fell into the water. After soaking in water, it might not be easy to put down the landing gear, so the plane can only be put on a trailer and taken away.

   Fortunately, the size of the aircraft is relatively small.

   "Old Guan, do you want to go and have a look together?" Qin Tao asked Guan Tong.

   Guan Tong smiled: "This has nothing to do with us, and I don't intend to join in the fun, but since Mr. Qin is here, I, the master, must entertain you. Wherever you go, I will follow you."

   "Let's go then."

  The front and rear cockpit covers were opened, so the cockpit was seriously soaked in water, but fortunately, when it fell into the water, the plane had already consumed all the fuel and the circuit had been cut off, so as to minimize the loss of the plane.

   The technicians who came from the 320 factory have already started to disassemble the aircraft. The first thing is to remove the wings on both sides.

  Although the T-45 is a carrier-based aircraft, it does not have a wing folding mechanism. (There is no definite evidence that it can fold the wings, but looking at the various modification plans, there is no wing folding, and looking at various photos, the arrangement on the deck of the aircraft carrier does not see the wing folding. )

   This should also be because the wingspan of the T-45 is not large, only more than nine meters, smaller than the F-18 fighter after folding the wings.

  While directing the technicians to disassemble the aircraft, Elder Shi watched the various details of the aircraft, and had a clearer understanding of the modification of this aircraft.

   "Old Shi, how are you doing?" Qin Tao asked Elder Shi.

"I think it should not be too difficult if we just imitate it by surveying and mapping. Our K-8 trainer is too similar to it, and many parts can be used with a little improvement." Shi Lao said: "But, In terms of engines, there's not much we can do."

  This trainer is equipped with a Rolls-Royce F405-RR-401 turbofan engine with a thrust of 26 kN, and its performance is quite good.

  What about domestic? The K-8 trainer for export uses the Garrett TFE731-2A, while the self-use model can only use the turbofan-11 imitated by surveying and mapping, which seriously affects the performance.

   Speaking of aero engines, Rolls-Royce is absolutely unique.

Qin Tao nodded: "We use this trainer plane mainly to squat on the deck and practice landing. It's okay if the other performances are slightly inferior. Of course, if we have a way to buy a batch of these engines from Rolls-Royce, We will do our best."

   "If we buy this kind of engine, will the West guess something?" Elder Shi was a little worried.

  Qin Tao smiled: "I have an idea, we can purchase through a third party."

  Third party?

  Old Shi looked surprised.

"Yes, if the Yakovlev Design Bureau buys them, it should not be questioned, and there is no need to purchase too much. The first batch of ten or twenty units purchased is enough for us to equip a batch." Qin Tao said.

Hearing Qin Tao talk about the Yakovlev Design Bureau, Shi Lao's eyes slowly lit up. That's right, if the world's most famous trainer aircraft design bureau purchased a batch of British trainer aircraft engines, no one would suspicious.

   Even if they already have the engine provided by Hallwell, the performance is definitely not as good as that of Rolls-Royce.

   "Mr. Qin, this kind of thing can only be done by you." Shi Lao said.

Some time ago, Qin Tao also agreed to Mr. Shi to get back the technical information of Yak-130 for them. , It is not too late to develop a higher education machine.

  However, if you want to imitate the carrier-based trainer as soon as possible, then the supporting engine is very important. Anyway, it is a trip, so it is better to pack it together and bring it back.

Qin Tao nodded: "It's time to go there. The Navy doesn't know how the approval process is going. Maybe, our Mingzhou Group has to advance a sum of money in advance. If we want to advance In terms of funds, the price of this batch of trainers sold to the Navy must not be low, and the interest must be included."

   To Qin Tao's words, Shi Lao smiled back. Qin's words may not be credible, maybe he was just joking.

When Qin Tao said this, he was just complaining. Recently, the navy has been carrying out too many projects, and it is understandable that many projects are short of money. However, many projects cannot be delayed. Mingzhou Group has money, so it will pay in advance And it should be.

   It is said that the refit cost of the Dongfang Haicheng is still in arrears.

   It’s a matter of course, but Mingzhou Group is absolutely unambiguous in doing it. The progress of the ship’s refit seems to be quite fast.

After dismantling the wings, the big guy found that he didn’t need to disassemble the vertical tail, and he could stuff it into the belly of the Mi-26 helicopter. In this way, in the middle of the night, the Mi-26 helicopter took off to transport this special trainer. machine, fly to 320 factory.

  Qin Tao also embarked on the road to the Yakovlev Design Bureau the next day.

Qin Tao can be regarded as a frequent visitor of the Yakovlev Design Bureau. In the past, he often went here. Now, many of the team that wiped out the 31A came from here. Qin Tao has nothing to do with this kind of poaching behavior. guilt.

  Anyway, the Yakovlev Design Bureau has gone downhill, and those designers can't afford wages. Qin Tao invited them to the east and paid them high wages. That was helping them, and they should be grateful.

  With this mentality, Qin Tao stepped into the office door of the Yakovlev Design Bureau.

   "Where's Alexander?" Qin Tao felt very strange when he saw the people standing up to greet him.

  The head of the Yakovlev Design Bureau is Alexander Yakovlev. He is also the son of the old Yakovlev. He has always been at the helm here. Now, has Alexander also retired?

   "Over the past year, Director Alexander has not been in good health and is often unable to come to work. Therefore, I am currently in charge of the Design Bureau." Nikolai Dolzenkov said.

  He is the deputy director of the Yakovlev Design Bureau. When the director is away, he can certainly take the lead. At this time, his condition is still very good.

   "Really? Congratulations." Qin Tao said, and took out an envelope: "The new official took office, congratulations, this small gift is not a respect, please accept it."

  Dorzenkov didn't open it, but just pinched it, and he knew how much money was inside, with a smile on his face: "President Qin, you are always so generous, please sit down, please sit down."

   "What's wrong with Director Alexander?" Qin Tao asked.

  Dorzenkov gave Qin Tao a meaningful look: "Heart disease."

   Don't need to say too much, otherwise, everyone's face will be ugly, but as long as it is said, it is clear enough.

  The old director is angry.

  East’s J-31A project was full of uproar and vigor, and Alexander was depressed.

  Although he had no choice but to provide these technologies at the time, but now, looking at the Eastern model, Alexander regretted it. Why didn't he think of it? If Yak-141 is made into an international cooperation project, their funds will also flow in!

At that time, Lockheed was very interested in their Yak-141 project, and wanted to buy the technology. If they did not sell the technology, but asked the other party to invest in research and development, then their Yak-141 might be in the market now. Intensive test flight!

What now?

  Now he can only watch Dongfang's project booming, and Alexander feels angry, not at Qin Tao, but at himself.

"Your international cooperation project is going very smoothly. Therefore, we have also decided to make the project at hand into an international cooperation project. Our Yak-130 has now become a Yak/AEM-130 project. We and Ma The cooperation with the base company has greatly accelerated the research and development of our aircraft."

They failed on the Yak-141 project, but on the Yak-130 project, with Qin Tao's proposal, coupled with Dongfang's successful experience, and through the introduction of partners, the project has become prosperous. At this time Dolzenkov is still working very hard.

"Then congratulations to you." Qin Tao said: "However, I don't know if you have noticed that our domestic J-31A project absorbs investment from users, while your Yak-130 project absorbs investment from users. airline investment."

"Yeah, Markey is also a company that manufactures trainer aircraft, so we can not only absorb funds, but also absorb their technology. Our engines and avionics are all provided by them. By the way, it was not Qin at the beginning. Do you have your proposal?"

  Qin Tao is a little ashamed. He has forgotten all the past. In order to fool Yakovlev Design Bureau into selling the information of Yak-141, Qin Tao personally suggested that he can cooperate with Maji Company.

"Really? I mentioned it at the time, but I didn't expect that you would negotiate like this! Your engines and avionics are all provided by them, and your airframe and aerodynamics can be manufactured by them, that is to say , if you left the Noodles, the project would have to be revised, and the Noodles left you without any problems."

  Qin Tao succeeded in throwing the pot away, and asked you to cooperate to let you absorb funds, not to let you engage in this kind of technical cooperation.

  As soon as Qin Tao said these words, Dorzenkov's face immediately changed color.

  The meaning of these words could not be more obvious.

  Maki Company is not sincerely cooperating at all, what they have shown is only their aerodynamic layout design plan, as long as they get these, then, they will fall apart! In the end, their Yakovlev Design Bureau fell to the ground and made a wedding dress for others, so they had to re-develop it!

  Originally, the two aircraft design units joined forces with the idea of ​​solving technical problems. Now, if the motives of the partners are not pure, it is definitely not good news for them.

  How could this kind of crisis not be expected at the beginning?

   "Do they really have ulterior motives?" Dolzenkov asked Qin Tao.

   "You can try it!" Qin Tao rolled his eyes at the other party: "You will know if you try it?"

  Dorzenkov nodded, then thought of something: "Mr. Qin, did you come here to remind us?"

   "Of course not, I just reminded you incidentally." Qin Tao didn't hide this, if he said he came here to remind the other party, it would be too much to treat others as fools.

   "We are here to give you money."

  Hearing the first half of the sentence, Dolzenkov nodded to express his understanding, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he immediately became excited.

   Send money!

   What they lack the most is money!

   "President Qin, please speak."

   "Your Yak-130, to what extent has it been carried out?"

   "We are currently building the first prototype to verify whether our aerodynamic layout is reasonable. We first assembled a Slovakian DV2 engine to test whether the aerodynamic layout is reasonable. The engine promised by Noodle Country Maki has not yet arrived."

  Qin Tao smiled: "It seems that they are really insincere. The engines they promised are not intended to be used by you. In the future, they will get the aerodynamic data of the Yak-130, but you will get nothing."

After continuing to pour dirty water on Maji, Qin Tao continued: "The performance of that kind of engine is backward, and it can't meet the needs at all. You have to use a more advanced engine. You have heard of Rolls-Royce's F405-RR- 401 turbofan?"

  Dorzenkov nodded: "Of course I have heard that the specially developed booster model of this engine is used on the U.S. Navy's T-45 trainer aircraft, with a full thrust of 26 kN."

   "So, do you need this engine for the Yak-130?"

  With this engine?

Dolzenkov's expression was a little stiff: "Mr. Qin, this kind of engine is too expensive, we can't afford it at all. Moreover, even if we buy it, the price of our aircraft will rise, and customers probably won't approve it. .”

  Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, it's too expensive, how expensive is it?"

"At least three million US dollars are needed for one. Our aircraft is designed with dual engines, which requires six million US dollars. For a trainer aircraft that is expected to sell for more than 10 million yuan, the cost of the engine accounts for more than half of the cost. , is absolutely unacceptable.”

  Dorzenkov was originally in charge of the Yak-130 project. After the collapse of the Red Empire, he searched everywhere for a suitable engine. Of course, he also inspected Rolls-Royce. Although this engine has excellent performance, the price is too high!

  The West is too foolish. The RD33 engine used on the MiG 29 is only three million dollars each. The engine used by this small trainer is actually the same price as a fighter jet engine!

Of course, he also knew in his heart that if the cost of use was considered, Western engines have a flight life of more than 2,000 hours, which is much better than their engines that can only fly for 300 hours. Save some.

  However, users will not read these, and the procurement cost is too high.

"If you want to manufacture five prototypes, you will have to use ten engines, so you have sufficient reasons to purchase this engine from Rolls-Royce." Qin Tao said: "So, I will give you three thousand one One million dollars, I entrust you to buy ten units from Rolls-Royce, and the remaining one million is your favor fee, how about it?"

  As long as you act as a middleman and help purchase ten engines, you can earn one million dollars!

  Dorzenkov's heart filled with great surprise.

   "Of course, since there are ten units, it is a bulk purchase. Maybe you can also negotiate the price. If the price is lowered, the money saved will also be yours."

   "President Qin, you are really our good friend, please rest assured, I will send someone to Luoluo Company to negotiate immediately!" Dolzenkov was extremely happy, as President Qin is so generous, he came to give him money!

  Why didn't Mr. Qin buy it himself?

  Don’t ask about this, it’s the client’s secret, and they have to keep the client’s secret.

  Dorzenkov was extremely excited.

   "Boss Qin, what else do you need to help?"

   "It's nothing, I'm very interested in your Yak-130, can I go and have a look?"

"No problem at all!"

   Facing the big customers who came to send money, Dolzenkov was very enthusiastic.

  The prototype of the Yak-130 was assembled at the end of September last year, and various sliding experiments have already begun in the factory. After all the work is completed, it will be able to fly for the first time.

   When Qin Tao came to the runway, he saw not only the plane, but also a group of Mackey employees busy there.

The shape of the aircraft is very beautiful, the cockpit is low at the front and high at the rear, and both front and rear have a good view. Below the big side strip is the engine air intake. The thick and short engine compartment layout is very distinctive. Ghosts are somewhat similar.

  The design of the second-generation aircraft is okay, and it is already in the era of the third-generation aircraft. This design seems nondescript, and the domestic L-15 looks more beautiful.
