Rebirth 1981 starts with saving the sisters from the neighboring village.

Peng Wanhua was stunned for a moment.

I didn't expect it wasn't demolished.

Damn it, when I was just reborn, I was thinking about buying more courtyard houses and then demolishing them and waiting to get rich.

I didn't expect that now that I am rich, I haven't even demolished a single yard.

Fine.

Anyway, I am not short of money.

Since it hasn't been demolished, just keep it.

In fact, he has many courtyards in Shichahai, Nanluoguxiang, Qianmen Street, and on both sides of Chang'an Avenue.

It’s just that these places were not demolished in my previous life, and it is probably impossible for them to be demolished in this life.

So I didn't ask any more questions.

……

At the end of the year.

Yulia and Lilia came to Hong Kong to reunite.

Not only the two sisters were traveling with them, but also the President of Ermao Nina Andreyeva.

Nominally, she appeared to attend the signing ceremony of airline contracts with several aviation groups.

In fact, only very few people know the real reason why she came to Hong Kong.

Let’s first talk about the signing ceremony among several aviation groups.

The French Concorde and the American Boeing always had problems, causing panic among airlines.

Originally, Ermao's Tu series passenger aircraft were not selling well and could only operate on some branch and low-cost routes.

The most popular ones are cargo airlines such as Damao, Ermao, Africa and Huayi.

Now that Concorde and Boeing have given up the market, the business opportunities here are self-evident.

Nina Andreyeva came to witness the signing ceremony of a large order for Tu-154, the upgraded version of Tu-156.

Why use the upgraded version?

Because the safety record of Tu-154 is also relatively poor, there are many criticisms about its safety.

For example, on June 1994, 6, a Tu-6 passenger plane of China Northwest Airlines crashed near Xi'an, killing 154 people. This was one of the largest air crashes in China's civil aviation history.

还有1999年2月24日，中国西南航空公司一架图-154客机从成都飞往温州途中，在下降着陆过程中失速坠毁在距温州机场30公里的地方，造成64人丧生。

After investigation, it was found that the previous accident was caused by a maintenance error in the operating system.

The latter accident was caused by an error in the assembly of the elevator control linkage at the overhaul plant, and the failure to discover the hidden problem during routine maintenance, which resulted in the elevator control linkage becoming detached during flight operations, and the aircraft lost the ability to control its pitch, causing it to stall and crash to the ground.

From this we can see that the cause of these two accidents was not due to the design of the aircraft itself.

It's the human factor.

In fact, the safety record of the Tu-154 that is circulated outside is relatively poor. Let's take a closer look at this.

There are many reasons for this, such as prolonged exposure to bad and extreme weather, frequent flights, poor maintenance and human error.

It's rarely a design flaw.

Therefore, the real reason why this aircraft has a poor safety record may be that it is too easy to use, causing airlines to trust the aircraft's reliability too much and lower their vigilance.

This leads to human carelessness and ultimately causes accidents.

Peng Wanhua felt that it was untenable to insist that Figure 154 was not good.

Moreover, according to data comparison, Tu-154 had 67 major accidents, resulting in 2982 deaths on board and 21 deaths on the ground.

这个数值要低于波音737-200型114次重大事故机上死亡3083人，地面死亡63人。

If Figure 154 could speak, it would probably cry out for injustice.

In any case, those who truly understand the excellence of this aircraft know its excellence.

Durable, easy to use, and not expensive.

Only competitors would slander you crazily.

The upgrade of Tu-154 to Tu-156 was also a suggestion made by Peng Wanhua.

Because Chinese people are sensitive to the number 4, especially in the economically developed Guangdong region, many buildings do not have a fourth floor.

Out of taboo, Peng Wanhua suggested that Nina upgrade the aircraft model to 156.

Nina consulted with Tupolev Aviation Group and immediately adopted his proposal.

The upgraded version not only has an optimized model, but also has made great improvements in safety inspection and error prevention, increased load and passenger capacity, improved comfort, reduced noise, energy conservation and environmental protection.

The price is more advantageous than that of Boeing with the same passenger capacity.

A Tu-156 only costs about 2000 million US dollars, or 1.5 million RMB.

The Boeing 737 costs more than 4000 million US dollars, or more than 3 million RMB.

Good quality and low price, better safety and comfort, you can know how to choose with your eyes closed.

Therefore, the pragmatic China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Air China, Alim Air and Cathay Pacific Airways have all ordered 100 aircraft with a total price of more than US$100 billion!

In addition, Huayi Airlines' subsidiary, Huamin Cargo Airlines, also purchased about 100 Tu-156 cargo aircraft to supplement its cargo aircraft fleet.

All in all, Tupolev Airlines made a lot of money again this time!

After the signing ceremony.

Shek O Manor, in the study.

Peng Wanhua was discussing the most important matter with Yulia, Lilia and Nina Andreyeva - the relevant agreement on mushroom bombs.

Ten years ago, Ermao and Damao signed the Mushroom Bomb Agreement.

According to the agreement, China's more than 3040 intercontinental missile nuclear warheads and tactical nuclear weapons are all aimed at the United States.

Now that the agreement has expired, the question is whether to continue.

"The conditions there are very favorable. As long as we are willing to renew the contract, they will not only provide the maintenance costs of more than 4,000 mushroom bombs, but also continue to provide crude oil and natural gas at prices lower than the market price." Nina Andreyeva said.

In her opinion, Damao's renewal agreement was very sincere.

Ermao is short of oil and natural gas. Its rapid economic development over the years is inseparable from the support of Damuo's low-cost energy.

Exchanging the directional rights of mushroom bombs for energy and development is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

"Yes, according to our agreed price, it is only about 35% of the current market price. This price is basically the mining cost price," Lilia added.

She is now responsible not only for the country's sovereign investment fund but also for the Ministry of Energy.

Peng Wanhua nodded slightly, then asked, "What do the Americans say?"

Nina Andreyeva said bluntly: "The Clinton administration sent the Secretary of State here, hoping to exchange $1.5 million in aid for us to stop the agreement with Russia, but we did not agree."

Peng Wanhua chuckled.

After all, no one wants to have 4000 nuclear bombs aimed at their heads.

But the Americans are too contemptuous.

Even though Ermao is not as rich as the Americans, he still doesn't need the $1.5 million.

Nina Andreyeva continued, "Now that Bush Jr. is in office, he sent two of his confidants to discuss this matter a week ago, and they offered even better conditions..."
