Selling shares?

Muravsenko shook his head: "No, Mr. Qin, we can't do that. Our Progress Design Bureau once had a glorious history. We are just encountering temporary difficulties now. As long as we have funds, we can continue to develop. We will not sell our shares, please forgive me for being stubborn, in my eyes this is a betrayal."

Boguslayev frowned there, this matter is not easy to handle!

"Mr. Qin, if their design bureau doesn't have the funds, they won't be able to hire those engineers, and our joint research and development will be impossible!" Zamotayeva approached Qin Tao and whispered, in order not to let others I heard that she was speaking Chinese.

"How is that possible? I just took two million and went to their design bureau to hire people. Do you believe that a large number of people followed me?" Qin Tao also retorted in Chinese: "It's just that the guy's face will not look good. , the plan I proposed should be a win-win situation, we can’t give them money for nothing. In the name of the group, I will take away two million directly from Genghis Khan’s account, do you agree or not?”

 Zamotaeva stopped talking.

While Zamotayeva and Qin Tao were communicating, Boguslaev was also communicating with Muravsenko. The two chattered a lot, and Muravsenko's face became increasingly ugly. However, the attitude began to loosen.

"Mr. Qin, I have discussed with Muravshenko. If you plan to acquire 49% of the shares of the Progress Design Bureau, then two million is a bit small." Boguslayev spoke.

“Okay, how much do you want?”

"Two million or two million, but this share, can it be reduced to ten percent?" Boguslaev said: "You also know that buying too many shares of key enterprises like the Progress Design Bureau It must be approved by the government, and only if it is less than 10%, it will not be controlled by the government.”

"It doesn't matter, we can wait for the government's approval." Qin Tao said: "Two million only buys 10%, then we can spend 10 million to buy 49%."

　　Muravshchenko’s face turned ugly again.

The Progressive Design Bureau was once so proud. They created many firsts in the history of Lao Maozi. For example, the AI-20 was the first long-life turboprop engine in the Red Empire; the AI-25 was their first turbofan engine for civil aviation; The D-36 is their first high-bypass three-rotor turbofan engine; the D-18T is the first turbofan engine with a thrust of more than 20tf; the previous ones are all domestic, and they also have the world's number one, such as the D-136, which is the world's first The most powerful helicopter engine; D-27 is the world's first propeller fan engine put into use, etc.

What now? Now we are actually reduced to selling our shares in order to survive? They are not willing to give in!

 However, it seems that there is no other way to choose.

“However, if Mr. Muravsenko is in trouble, then we can also comply with your request.” Qin Tao said.

"Really? That's great!" Muravsenko finally had a smile on his face: "Mr. Qin, thank you for your understanding and support!"

Zhao Ling on the side did not speak, silently playing the role of an ordinary secretary. However, she was filled with emotions in her heart. The other party was really too poor!

 Two million dollars can buy 10% of their shares! They don't dare to ask for too high a price. Even if they are in decline now, in fact, the stock value is still low. However, except for Mingzhou Group, I am afraid that no other company will acquire them. Other aero-engine companies, no matter what Whether they are Western or Da Mao, they are probably the ones who just want them to die.

With 10% of the other party's shares, Mingzhou Group can continue to hold it in the future, and will encounter less resistance. Based on their business conditions, it won't be long before they have to continue to borrow money from Mingzhou Group.

Therefore, it is the most correct choice for Qin Tao to stop in time. If Muravsenko is forced into a hurry, it may be counterproductive.

At this time, the agreement was finally reached, and everyone was smiling again.

“Okay, then our cooperation can continue, Mr. Qin, let’s talk about the specific matters of this research and development institution?” Boguslaev said.

Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, according to what Mr. Muravsenko just said, please ask the Progress Design Bureau to send a hundred outstanding engineers, and we will send another hundred here to form a design team of two hundred. The leader of the team , how about it be undertaken by our chief engineer who developed the GT-25000 here?"

"Mr. Qin, our engineers are the best and most experienced. Now, this gas turbine also needs to be improved on the basis of the D-18T engine we developed. Therefore, the chief designer should be ours. Serve," Muravsenko said.

This guy always puts the honor of their design bureau first! Whoever is the chief designer will have the initiative and face!

“We also have a large number of D-18T designers in our design bureau, and they have the most experience.” Muravsenko continued to repeat these words: “Although you have experience in gas turbines, gas turbines are also aeroengines. It was modified. In our design bureau, we still have Lotarev, the former deputy chief designer of the D-18T, and it is most suitable for him to be the chief engineer."

The development of the D-18T was not that long ago. This engine was developed in 1979. At that time, many scientific research results of the D-36 were used. As a large bypass ratio turbofan engine, its thrust was very powerful. In the 1980s, , the full-size prototype came out. In 1982, this engine was installed on the IL-76 demonstrator and the first An-124 prototype. By 1985, the D-18T had already propelled The An-124 transport aircraft flew all over the world, which shows how powerful the design strength of the Progressive Design Bureau at that time was.

 Now, just renovating it will take several years.

The chief designer of D-18T went to the United States. The deputy chief designer did not leave Ermao due to age and other reasons. Now, it is most appropriate to ask him to come out. Besides him, who else can be the chief designer?

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, if the former deputy chief designer of D-18T comes out, he can indeed be the chief designer. However, Mr. Muravsenko, our cooperation must not only be technical. To consider, we have to consider political and other factors. If Lotarev is allowed to be the chief designer and it is exposed to the whole world, then our cooperation will probably face great resistance."

Of course, the chief designer must be someone from our own side. After all, this is not just about developing a gas turbine, but also getting all the information about the D-18T. This engine can also be tinkered with when needed in the future. come out.

Moreover, no one can refute the reason he said now.

D-18T is a national treasure-level engine of Lao Maozi. If this engine is exported to the East, how big a shock will it bring?

After all, many eyes are staring at it. They don’t want the East to be strong, let alone obtain strategic-level weapons. This kind of engine is used on strategic transport aircraft. If it is exported to the East, many people will definitely get in trouble.

Now the cooperation between Motor Sich Company and Mingzhou Group has made many people dissatisfied. No one took care of the AI-222 project at the beginning. After all, this is a small thrust engine. But when it came to the D-227, many people Come to cross Canada to interfere, the A-400M project came to deceive them, trying to make them give up cooperation. If it is a D-18T engine, the people behind it will probably take action directly.

Muravsenko's face turned ugly again, while Boguslaev nodded: "Yes, Mr. Qin's consideration is reasonable. If the outside world knows, the Progress Design Bureau is also involved in this project. , and even became the chief designer, which will definitely put a lot of pressure on us. It would be better for an Oriental to be the chief designer."

"However, considering the strength of the Progressive Design Bureau, we think that we can ask Lotarev to be the deputy chief designer. In fact, who is the chief and who is the deputy is just a matter of title. The big guys are not just sitting there. Do you want to work on projects together? Even if our people become chief engineers, they will still respect the people of the Progressive Design Bureau very much. After all, in our eyes, you are like the Big Brother faction of the Soviet Union decades ago. The experts who come here are the same. Besides, not all of our people have oriental faces. We also have people who came from Ermao. When the big guys cooperate, maybe they will all be old faces."

For the development of domestic gas turbines, Qin Tao not only fiddled with technical data, but also brought Sergey and others over. Sergey also gave him an oriental name, Mao Youwei.

 Actually, Qin Tao doesn't value anything like a 10% share. Even if someone blocks the cooperation between Progress Design Bureau and Mingzhou Group in the future, those old fools will not leave again. This ten percent shareholding is just an excuse to retain the designers of Progressive Design Bureau.

　　Muravshchenko nodded.

“Well, in that case, let’s work together to develop this engine and prove our strength!”

“Mr. Qin, since we want to keep a low profile, the code name of this project must also be low-key.” Boguslaev said.

"On your side, it has always been named after UGT. The one we imported was UGT-15000. But on our side, we just removed the U and named it after GT. Therefore, we gave this project the internal code name It's UGT-40000, and the external code is GT-40000. How about it? When we announced it to the outside world, we said that we were cooperating with Motor Sich Company and had nothing to do with Progressive Design Bureau. This newly formed design unit can also be called Tianjiao Aviation Design Institute." Qin Tao had already planned it.

“Okay, then it’s called Tianjiao Aviation Design Institute, and the model is UGT-40000!”

“Eight years later, we finally have a new model.” At this moment, Muravsenko was also very emotional.

“Mr. Muravsenko, this model is just the beginning.” Qin Tao said: “After our research and development has achieved initial results, we can have more cooperation.”

Muravsenko was excited: "Mr. Qin, can we still cooperate?"

“Of course, the naval department held a meeting recently and once again discussed the issue of ship-borne ten-ton helicopters. We need matching turboshaft engines.”

“Mr. Qin, our Motor Sich Company can produce it. We produce the turboshaft engine used on the Mi-171 helicopter.” Boguslaev said quickly.

Motorsich Company has been producing the TV3-117 turboshaft engine developed by the Klimov Design Bureau since the 1970s. This engine has been used in a large number of Laomaozi's helicopters, from the original Mi-8 to Later, Mi-14, Mi-24, Mi-17, Mi-28, Ka-27, Ka-29, Ka-32, Ka-50, etc. are all in use. It is definitely a versatile character.

This kind of engine has also undergone a lot of improvements from the early stage to the later stage. The take-off power of the TV3-117VM engine currently produced has reached 1397 kilowatts. At the Klimov Design Bureau, the improved model has reached 1618 kilowatts. Moreover, in later generations, the finally improved TV3-117VMA-SBMV1 engine had its normal power increased to 1839 kilowatts, and its emergency power increased by 2027 kw.

 With this kind of motivation, isn’t it enough?

Last time Qin Tao mentioned joint development, Boguslayev was considering it. After all, they already had a qualified helicopter engine, and they had no research and development capabilities. But now, Qin Tao actually proposed it again.

"Yes, you can produce turboshaft engines, but your engines are too backward." Qin Tao said: "We have Mi-171 and Black Hawk in China. According to the military's experience, they all like Black Hawk. Eagle, so we hope to develop products similar to the Black Hawk engine."

No matter how developed TV3-117 is, it has not improved much. Even if the power is enough, what about the reliability? What about lifespan? What about fuel consumption? What about the control system? These are all backward. Dongfang must stand at a new height in research and development!

"Mr. Qin, although TV3-117 was not designed by our Progressive Design Bureau, we have also designed helicopter engines. We can meet your needs!" Muravshchenko said.

 It would be great to have R&D projects. One more R&D project for Tianjiao Aviation Design Institute means more income for Progress Design Bureau.

"Okay, then let's sign the contract as soon as possible and establish the UGT-40000 project first." Qin Tao said: "We can start research and development of the subsequent helicopter engine project when necessary."

After finishing speaking, Qin Tao glanced at Muravsenko again: "Mr. Muravsenko, you can also stay at Tianjiao Aviation Design Institute in the future and guide the work as a technical consultant. We can give you a subsidy."

Muravsenko shook his head: "Forget it, Zaporozhye is my home. I still like to stay in Zaporozhye. With this project, our Progress Design Bureau can survive, Mr. Qin, I have to thank you."

 Not coming now? There will still be opportunities in the future. Anyway, if we cooperate in the future, it will be easier to meet.

 The next day, in one of the most solemn synagogues in the capital.

"I'm very happy today. We met familiar old friends here again." The leader who presided over the meeting was very excited: "Last time at the same place, we signed a cooperation agreement with Motor Sich Company to establish Tianjiao Airlines and cooperate in production. AI-222 engine, now, this engine has been used in many domestic aircraft models, and has even been exported along with the aircraft. Now, we are going to cooperate with Motor Sich Company to establish Tianjiao Aviation Design Institute, so that As a result, our production and R&D can be better connected. At this important moment, on behalf of Eastern Aviation Industry*, I am chairing this signing meeting. I am very excited. We also hope that we can further Deepen cooperation!”

An hour has passed since each leader spoke. Not only the leaders from the East, but also several leaders from Ermao came. After all, if they take this kind of thing, it can also be regarded as a political achievement.

 The reporters at the scene were also very excited. They all knew that the establishment of Tianjiao Aviation Design Institute would definitely do great things.

 What exactly do you want to do?

 After the leader’s speech, it was finally Tianjiao Aviation Design Institute’s turn.

“Now, let’s invite Comrade Wen Xueyou, the dean of our Tianjiao Aviation Design Institute, to give a speech to everyone!”

 Wen Xueyou walked up to the microphone, feeling a little excited.

Although Qin Tao asked him to build a 40-megawatt gas turbine, he was very excited, but he also knew in his heart that since he was cooperating with Lao Maozi, Lao Maozi would definitely send some powerful engineers, and he didn't care. Who will be the chief designer? But now that the position of person in charge has fallen to him, he is still very excited.

We must not let down Mr. Qin’s great trust!

This signing meeting was very grand, so some reporters were invited. These reporters were not present at the meeting, but were watching the live broadcast in a nearby room. After watching the broadcast, there will be time for live questions at the end.

"Wen Gong? He is engaged in gas turbines!" After hearing this introduction, some of the reporters immediately began to whisper. These people are very concerned about Dongfang, and naturally they have heard of Wen Xueyou.

“That’s right, he was the one who invented the ship-type gas turbine currently used by Dongfang. Now, why did he join Tianjiao Aviation? What is he going to design?”

“Modasic Company has never developed a gas turbine!”

"Our Tianjiao Aviation Design Institute has been established. The first task of this design institute is to design a 40-megawatt gas turbine. We named it GT-40000. Its appearance will make our gas turbines take a big leap forward. Step by step, it will expand from the current 20 megawatt level to 40 megawatts, ranking first in the world!"

 “40 megawatts? What are they going to do?” someone exclaimed.

 The current mainstream gas turbine in the world is the LM2500, which has a power of only 20 MW. After improvements, it can be up to 30 MW. However, the Eastern gas turbine actually reaches the 40 MW level?

  Wait a minute, this is an aviation design institute. The first product is not aviation, but a gas turbine?

"We can see that high-power gas turbines are needed in many places, including oil and gas fields on land, including power stations in some energy countries, including certain ships. Our 40-megawatt gas turbine is just a foundation. In the future, we will Based on this gas turbine, the performance will be improved to reach the level of 60 MW, 80 MW, or even 100 MW. This will meet the needs of our users."

“There were military representatives attending the meeting!” A reporter discovered something: “Is their gas turbine for warships or aircraft carriers?”

Other than aircraft carriers, what other ships need such large gas turbines? When the reporters ask questions, they must ask all these questions!

Next, there is the signing ceremony, where you sign your name on the beautiful red leather agreement. In fact, this is just a process. The real agreement is many pages, and it may be thicker than the Oxford Dictionary.

 The reporters were waiting. Finally, the signing ceremony was over.

The reporters stood up and wanted to rush towards the exit of the conference room, waiting for those people to come out and gather around to ask questions. However, they were stopped before they could go.

“Everyone, please don’t be anxious. President Qin will be here next to answer your questions.”

 Mr. Qin?

 They waited patiently, and not long after, Qin Tao appeared in front of them.

“Mr. Qin, may I ask…”

“Don’t be anxious, everyone, raise your hands to ask questions.” Qin Tao said: “Everyone has a chance to ask a question. Now, give him the microphone.”

The reporter who got the microphone was very excited: "Excuse me, isn't your Tianjiao Aviation Design Institute an aviation design institute? Why is the first product a gas turbine?"

"Mr. reporter, there is a problem with your sentence segmentation. Aviation is not connected with the design institute, but with Tianjiao in front. We can add a word at the end, the design institute of Tianjiao Aviation. You understand. ? Our design institute not only designs aero engines, but also gas turbines, and may also involve diesel engines. Don’t be surprised if one day our design institute builds a harvester.”

What? Can you still understand it this way?

Everyone was surprised.

“Mr. Qin, this gas turbine has a strong output power, with an initial power target of 40 megawatts. Is it tailor-made for aircraft carriers?”

"Dean Wen has already explained that this gas turbine has a wide range of uses. Oil and gas fields on land, especially those energy-exporting countries in the Middle East, will have this demand. We are targeting this market gap. As for aircraft carriers, it can indeed Install."

"Excuse me, if you do this, will it pose a threat to world peace? Er Mao actually works with you to develop military weapons. This will not be tolerated by the international community, right?"

"This reporter, you have destroyed the order, so this is the last question." Qin Tao rolled his eyes at him: "I want to ask you first, what is the Vietnam War, the Pakistan-Malaysia War, and the Libyan War? Who is destroying world peace? By the way, do you have a kitchen knife at home?"

Seeing the other party nod, Qin Tao continued: "Then you are destroying world peace. Your kitchen knife may chop off the head of the president of *."

“Then I throw away the kitchen knife when I get home, what about you?” The reporter also wanted to debate: “For the sake of world peace, will you also stop this project?”

“Before you throw away the kitchen knife, you need to cut off the thing in your crotch, because you may **** the president of the United States and trigger a world war.”
