Fang Mingyuan did leave early the next morning, but he was going to Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group!Zhao Ya, who only learned the truth in the middle of the night, ravaged him a lot.

Today is a very important day for Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, because the new aircraft engine has been shipped from the United States, the refit design has been completed, and the American experts under the General Electric Aircraft Engine Company have also been in place. Starting today, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group's md90 aircraft will officially start the new engine replacement test.If everything goes well and achieves satisfactory results, half or more of the md90 aircraft produced by Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group in the future will use engines produced by General Electric Aircraft Engine Company, thus breaking the international aviation engine company's The monopoly of md90 aircraft engines.For the engineers of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, this is also a rare opportunity to observe and learn on the spot.

When Fang Mingyuan arrived, the president Skel Kidd Gilchrist did not show up, and it was still Ji Zhigang who came to greet him.As the saying goes, people are refreshed on happy occasions, and now Ji Zhigang has swept away the old man when he was the secretary of Fengyuan Aviation Industry Group Company, his face was flushed, as if he was ten years younger.

"Fang Shao, President Gilchrist is still negotiating with the General Electric Aircraft Engine Company in the United States on purchasing engines." Ji Zhigang explained.Fang Mingyuan nodded. It made no difference to him whether Gilchrist was present or not. The old man had a passion for aircraft manufacturing. Every time he saw him, he would talk eloquently. Fang Mingyuan asked for funds, more talents, new equipment, and increased support for new technology research and development.but.After all, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group is not a company controlled by Fang's family. Fang's further increase of capital investment involves many things, which cannot be completed in a short while, and need to be consulted and coordinated with relevant government departments.As for the efficiency of these domestic departments, I will not say anything.

"How is it? General Electric Aircraft Engine Company's new engine performance?" Fang Mingyuan asked with a smile.Since the establishment of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, although he has also learned some knowledge about aviation manufacturing, but after all, he belongs to the nature of becoming a monk halfway and cramming temporarily. He is asked to talk about the future development direction of the aircraft manufacturing industry.He can also fool around a few words, and if it involves specific things, he is not much better than a layman.

"Very good. After installing the engine from the General Electric Aircraft Engine Company, the top speed and maximum range of the md90 aircraft should be improved to varying degrees. Although the increase is not large, it is also a good thing. And the noise of the new engine should be lower. It is much lower in decibels than the engine of the International Aero Engine Company. This greatly increases the comfort of the plane.” Ji Zhigang said happily.

"What about fuel consumption?" Fang Mingyuan said, the next few years will be the years when the price of international crude oil will skyrocket.Aircraft are big consumers of fuel, and aviation fuel costs account for a considerable portion of airline operating costs.In the era of high oil prices, it is natural that the more fuel-efficient aircraft are, the more airlines like them.

"It is definitely more fuel-efficient than the engine of the International Aero Engine Company. But the specific saving ratio needs to be further tested." Ji Zhigang replied firmly.

"Hey, Young Master Fang, that's right. I just received something. Let's see how to deal with it." Ji Zhigang slapped his forehead. "Yesterday, the company received four special guests. Because it was late and you were coming to the company again today, I didn't bother you." Fang Mingyuan was a little surprised. What is a special guest?
"It's like this. North Korea's Air Koryo Commercial Co., Ltd. intends to purchase two md90 aircraft from the company, so it sent two professionals here, and our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the North Korean embassy in China each sent one person to accompany them." Ji Zhigang explained road.

As Fang Mingyuan knew, North Korea Koryo Airline Trading Co., Ltd. is the only airline company in North Korea. It is said that it owns [-] to [-] Soviet-style old aircraft. Although it belongs to the civil aviation organization, it belongs to the North Korean people in North Korea. Army management.In addition to operating domestic routes, it mainly operates routes to China, Mongolia, Russia and Central Asian countries, and occasionally has irregular flights to Southeast Asia and other countries.

"They want to purchase md90 aircraft?" Fang Mingyuan blinked and said, this is a new thing.

"Yes, they want to purchase our md90 aircraft." Ji Zhigang smiled wryly, "According to them, Air Koryo Trading Co., Ltd. will retire two 80s Tu-154 passenger aircraft recently. In order to make up for aviation capacity, they plan to purchase two from us. md90."

"They have been flying Soviet-style airliners in China, so why don't they go to Russia to purchase the latest Tu-204 airliner?" Fang Mingyuan felt even more strange.There is a big difference between Soviet-type airliners and European and American airliners in terms of driving and maintenance. In a fleet of Soviet-type airliners, two md90s are introduced, because economies of scale cannot be formed, only driver training, and future maintenance. The cost will be much higher.

"I also asked them, and they said they couldn't afford to wait. The Russian side said that the delivery would not be until [-] at the earliest." Ji Zhigang said.

"[-]?" Fang Mingyuan was also taken aback. This is still the fastest and fastest result. If it is at a normal speed, wouldn't it be [-]? When will the business of Russian airliner manufacturers be so good? up?
"Well, in [-], the current situation of Russia's passenger aircraft manufacturing industry is very bad. Many companies have reduced production and stopped production. It is more troublesome to resume normal production. However... I think it is more likely that the Russian side does not want to accept this order " Ji Zhigang hesitated for a moment.

"Don't want to take this order? How much is their procurement budget?" Fang Mingyuan immediately responded.That country is now in the most impoverished time, and the people of the country can't even eat, and they need relief from the international community.Naturally, it is impossible to spend large sums of money to purchase airliners.

"I didn't ask how much the funding was, but they wanted us to give them a [-]% discount, saying that it was for the sake of the brothers in the same camp." Ji Zhigang said.

"Nonsense!" Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and said, "Now that I think about it, we are brothers. Before the Soviet Union disintegrated, how did they treat us?" 90% off, now every time md[-] is built, it will lose some money. West Air, Qinxi Airport Group Corporation, and Fengyuan Aircraft Leasing Co., Ltd. gave them a [-]% discount. How could it be that Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group exported two aircraft, and one of them was given away for free!Not to mention that Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group's aircraft production plan has been scheduled until the end of next year, and it cannot be sold to him at this price.No wonder the Russian side refused, this is purely a loss-making business.

"Moreover, for the [-]% off payment, they also asked for installment payment, or barter." Ji Zhigang said with a wry smile.

"As far as this condition is concerned, what else is there to consider?" Fang Mingyuan asked rhetorically, paying in installments with respect to North Korea's credit?I'm afraid the plane has passed, and the rest of the payment will be gone?North Korea is famous for its debts and the lack of repayment to the country. The unlucky guy in Sweden is the best lesson for the past.Over the years, many Chinese businessmen who have done border trade with North Korea have also suffered. Therefore, the Fang family has done trade with various countries for so many years, but North Korea has never been involved.

"But... the meaning above..." Ji Zhigang said with some embarrassment, "I have received some calls asking us to try our best to facilitate this deal."

"Then let the higher-ups make up for the plane payment. I don't care where the money comes from. It's fine if it comes from the account of the Ministry of Finance. Anyway, there must be no less money." Fang Mingyuan said angrily.These people put it bluntly, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group has just started on the right track, and it is coming to cause harm. It is not that the md90 aircraft cannot be sold, and it is worth tens of millions of dollars. What is wrong with it, it is for the company employees If the benefits are increased, some people will think of themselves, so why give it to the white-eyed wolf!
"Is this attitude too tough?" Ji Zhigang asked with embarrassment. People of his generation still attached great importance to the requirements of the higher authorities.Especially this time, the background of the greeting is relatively large.He worried that if he pushes back like this, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group will be put on small shoes in the future.

"Difficult? Hmm... Are there any restrictive clauses in the engine purchase contract we signed with General Electric Aircraft Engine Company and International Aero Engine Company?" Fang Mingyuan turned his eyes.

Ji Zhigang looked at Fang Mingyuan in confusion, what did Fang Mingyuan mean by this?It's not like he didn't read the contract when he signed it.In terms of restrictive clauses, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group must respect intellectual property rights, respect the patent rights of General Electric Aircraft Engine Company, and must not imitate the products of General Electric Aircraft Engine Company.However, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group currently has no engine manufacturing technology at all, so there is no difference at all with General Electric Aircraft Engine Company.

"What I mean is, when International Aero Engines and General Electric Aircraft Engines sold our engines, did they say that the products should not be used in aircraft sold to certain countries?" Fang Mingyuan said, "Forget it." You just told the above that when International Aero Engines and General Electric Aircraft Engines reached an engine purchase agreement with us, we both had an unwritten agreement that the engine should not be used on md90 aircraft exported to certain countries. If they said If you want to buy md90, let them go to International Aero Engine Company and General Electric Aircraft Engine Company to buy four engines first and then come back.” (To be continued..)
