A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 742: It Turns Out to Be a Shell
Lin Sanqi took a look at the information and asked:

“I saw in your information that the types of airports that the Xian MA60 aircraft is suitable for include plateau airports, airports with simple runways, and airports in various harsh environments.

The aircraft can take off and land safely at airports with an altitude of 3680 meters or more, and can take off and land safely on simple runways such as soil, grass and mud-bound gravel.

In addition, the MA60 aircraft can still maintain a good operating condition in environments such as rain, snow, sand, and dust.

But I noticed that this text was deleted from the Xian MA600 aircraft. Does this mean that the Xian MA600 aircraft has higher requirements for runways? And the maintenance cost is also higher? "

Huang Jinpeng nodded:

"It can be understood that the electronic elements of the Xian MA600 are more numerous and more advanced, but also more fragile. Unlike the Xian MA60, which is thick and tough, it can be easily manufactured."

Lin Sanqi thought that there were few standard airports in China in the 1960s.

Take the Fushan Airport closest to Anbao County as an example. It has only one runway and the quality of the runway is not very good. It is probably because the cement does not meet the standards.

Other areas are probably still using the simple airports from the Republic of China or even the Japanese. For example, there is a simple airport in his hometown, Tianhe District, and the runway is not even made of cement.

The 600, which seemed more advanced but also more expensive, could not adapt to the airport environment in the s.

Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi directly gave up on the 600 model in his mind.

"Mr. Huang, I'm not considering the 600 model for now, but I can pack up the 40 60-model aircraft you have and buy them all."

The senior executives at Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group were excited again.

Huang Jinpeng suppressed his excitement and asked with a trembling voice:
"Director Lin, you, don't you need to go back and discuss this with the company?"

Negotiations, especially large purchases of this kind, often require several or even dozens of rounds of negotiations. They are very cumbersome and involve many procedures.

How could it be like Lin Sanqi, who, with only a secretary, single-handedly decided a multi-billion dollar deal?
Lin Sanqi laughed and said:
“President Huang, President Yan, rest assured that Lingnan Hall is my sole proprietorship and I am the only shareholder. I do not need to explain to the shareholders’ meeting or go through any formalities. My will represents the will of Lingnan Hall.

As for the issue of purchasing funds, you don't have to worry. If you don't believe me, you can ask Section Chief Song. Anyway, we have a sum of funds in Lingnan Hall that Section Chief Song and his team are supervising, and he has to be my guarantor. "

When Section Chief Song saw that everyone was looking at him, he cursed Lin Sanqi in his heart, "Little fox."

Originally, he was the military supervisor, and in fact, he was watching whether Lin Sanqi would transfer the more than 100 billion funds through false transactions.

As a result, Lin Sanqi used him as a "mobile guarantor" and used the special status of the relevant departments to strengthen the corporate credibility of Lingnan Hall.

Although he was complaining in his heart, Section Chief Song still understood his responsibilities, so he didn't say much, but just nodded slightly and said:

“Funding is not a problem.”

Now the people of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group are relieved, and some of them are even sharpening their knives...

Lin Sanqi just chuckled, thinking that it was his turn to negotiate terms.

Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group is a military-industrial enterprise. Although it is now disguised as an ordinary enterprise, it cannot be denied that they are the military's own son.

As long as he got in touch with Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation, that is, the Air Force, then when he bought an airplane, he would ask the other party to give him something as a gift. Even if Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation did not produce it, wouldn't it be a simple matter to ask them to coordinate?

"Mr. Huang, Mr. Yan, and everyone from Xi'an Aircraft Corporation, we have now agreed in principle that I can buy 40 Xian MA aircraft, whether they are second-hand or new, but I also have conditions."

Huang Jinpeng thought that it would be abnormal if he was so generous and decided to buy a Xianfeng aircraft without any conditions.

Now Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group is not afraid of Lin Sanqi's conditions, but is afraid that he has no conditions. That means they will have to bargain hard on the price. Only with conditions will there be room for price.

Lin Sanqi tapped the pencil lightly with his right hand and began to speak:
"First of all, the Xian MA aircraft I purchased are all for export. The specific destination is a commercial secret, so I cannot tell you.

But when it comes to export, I need a complete aircraft maintenance workshop and a full set of operating manuals.

In addition, you must prepare for me all the parts that need to be replaced for the aircraft. The more the better.

If you have stopped producing certain parts, please give me the part drawings and parameters so that foreign customers can produce them themselves. Huang Jinpeng turned around and looked at his colleagues. Other executives nodded:

"Director Lin, that's no problem. We can provide the parts specifications and drawings for free, but the repair and maintenance workshop and supporting equipment may still require money to purchase."

Lin Sanqi didn't care. Since it was a state-owned enterprise, they would give it for free if possible, and there was nothing they could do if they couldn't, lest they be suspected of insider trading.

"Okay, we will definitely pay what we owe. After all, I bought your Xianzhou aircraft, and we will definitely have long-term cooperation in the future.

I also have an idea. Since your Xianzhou aircraft has actually stopped production and it is difficult to find a new buyer for a while, have you, Xi'an Aircraft Corporation, considered selling the entire aircraft production line and blueprints to me?"

When the people from Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group heard this, they all smiled bitterly.

Huang Jinpeng was not angry when he heard this unreasonable request, and he also said helplessly:

“It’s not that we don’t want to give you a production line. The production line is easy to say, but many core parts of the Xianfeng aircraft are purchased from abroad.

For example, the power unit uses the Canadian Pratt & Whitney PW127J turboprop engine

The four-blade propeller is made of the American Hamilton 247F-3 all-composite material.

The KHF950 shortwave/single sideband radio and the vertical tail leading edge conformal antenna are produced by the United States United Signal Corporation

In addition, the APU auxiliary power unit is from Garrett Corporation of the United States, and the APS-85 autopilot system is from Collins Corporation of the United States.

These parts must be purchased from abroad. Even if you get the production line, if you can't purchase these core parts, you still can't build the plane."

When other senior executives of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group heard this, they also agreed with a smile.

For them, it would be a great thing to get rid of a big burden.

After all, they are already developing new domestically produced large aircraft, and propeller aircraft like the Xian MA60 will eventually be eliminated by the market.

After hearing this, Lin Sanqi smacked his lips and said in disbelief:
"So you just built a shell? Everything from the engine to the driving system is imported? Can this still be called a domestically produced aircraft?"

Everyone in Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group was a little embarrassed.

But as a leader, you have to be two-faced and you can even say that a dead person is alive.

General Manager Yan quickly came to the rescue and said:

"Mr. Lin, you don't know that my country's aircraft construction technology was completely blank in the early days of the founding of the country. Therefore, aircraft manufacturing represents the most advanced industrial technology in the world, and it cannot be built simply by putting together building blocks.

Our goal is to first exchange markets for technology, then import parts and assemble them ourselves, and finally innovate independently to manufacture our own engines and complete machines.

The simplest one is the Y-20 large transport aircraft you saw this morning. In fact, its engine was originally derived from the Russian D-30KP-2 turbofan engine, with a thrust of about 12 tons and relatively limited performance.

Later, we copied and launched our own domestically made WS-18 engine based on the Russian engine. You see, this is the key part. We can only copy homework if we have a reference machine, right?

However, the power of the WS-18 was still not ideal and did not meet our expectations, so we invented the WS-20 engine, which marked the entry of domestic engines into the mature stage.

Mr. Lin, think about it, our aviation technology has been accumulated step by step in this way, from being penniless in the beginning, to buying prototypes and imitating them, to finally surpassing others. I don't think there is anything shameful about this.

When we have mastered the core technology ourselves, we can avoid the lesson learned by India, which suffered delays in fighter production due to its reliance on US and Russian engines. This is our confidence.

Now our Y-20 engines have made the leap from imported to domestically produced. The current main models are being fully replaced with domestically produced WS-20, marking that my country has achieved complete independent control in the field of large transport aircraft power.

At the same time, after the accumulation of technology, it will also lay the foundation for the subsequent engine research and development of civil large aircraft (C919), and eventually break the monopoly of Boeing and Airbus on large aircraft and create an aviation road for our country."

When Lin Sanqi heard this, his face turned red and he quickly apologized:

"Ah, fellow comrades from Xifei, please forgive my ignorance. I apologize to you."
