Set sail1992

Chapter 769 Persuasion
"An-3 transport aircraft project? I've heard of it," Igor Yaroslavsky nodded, somewhat puzzled: "What? Is there any problem with this project?"

Zhang Qihang nodded and said: "No problem, we are actually very optimistic about this project."

"Are you also optimistic about this project?"

Igor Yaroslavsky was a little surprised, and Zhang Qihang's answer was somewhat beyond his expectation.

"Why not?" Zhang Qihang smiled, and he asked Igor Yaroslavsky: "Mr. Yaroslavsky, you should know that our China imported the An-2 transport aircraft from the Soviet Union. With a complete set of production lines and technical data, the Soviet Union produced almost 20000 An-2s of various types, and China has also produced almost 1000. The An-2s produced by the Soviet Union and China, as well as local production models, have more than 7 Chengdu is still in service, and they all face the same problem, that is, whether it is Russia or China now, the radial piston engine on this aircraft has been discontinued...you know what that means, Right?"

Igor Yaroslavsky's heart beat!

Yes, of course he knows what this means, which means that there are more than 15000 An-2 transport aircraft of various models still in service around the world, but the trouble is that the only aeroengine maintenance spare parts that can ensure the normal operation of these aircraft are There is a small amount of inventory, so the question is, when the engine spare parts in inventory are used up, what should we do with the An-2 transport aircraft that can still be used normally?
Just because there are no spare parts for engine maintenance, these outrageous low-cost aircraft should be grounded?

That would be too unfortunate.

But if these An-2 can be replaced with a new type of turboprop engine, then there will be no problem. Not only will the engine supply problem of the aircraft be solved, but the load and even the flight speed of the aircraft can be greatly increased... Igor Ya Roslavsky remembered clearly that the cruising speed of the An-2 transport aircraft was only 160 kilometers per hour, but the cruising speed of the An-3 could reach 220 kilometers per hour.

In the previous An-3 transport aircraft plan of the Antonov Design Bureau, the TVD-20-03 turboprop engine of the "Progress" Machine Manufacturing Bureau was used. Compared with the maximum take-off power of only 735 kilowatts and a weight of nearly 700 kilograms The Ayi-62 star-shaped piston engine, TVD-20-03 has a power of up to 1066KW, but its own weight is only a little over 300 kilograms. Reshaping, less air drag by making the nose more aerodynamic and consequently lower fuel consumption...

Undoubtedly, even if only one-tenth of the 10 An-15000 transport aircraft need to be replaced in the next 2 years, it means that the "Progressive" Machine Building Bureau can produce 150 TVD-20- 03 Turboprop, this income is really too important to alleviate the current dire situation of the "Progressive" Machine Building Bureau.

It's just that the truth is such a truth, but...

Igor Yaroslavsky pursed his lips, and asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, I didn't promise you anything, so you don't have to be afraid that just because you know your plan, you might just leave you and go directly to me." Antonov Design Bureau cooperation?"

"Afraid?" Zhang Qihang smiled: "Why should I be afraid?"

"..."

Igor Yaroslavsky didn't speak, but his eyes widened, and the meaning was very clear: You ask why you are not afraid?Are you stupid?After our "Progressive" Machine Building Bureau cooperated with the Antonov Design Bureau, what else is there for you?

"Mr. Yaroslavsky, do you think that since we took the initiative to find your door, do you think we have not thought about this possibility?" Looking at Igor Yaroslavsky, Zhang Qihang said softly Shaking his head: "Of course we have considered the possibility you mentioned, and in order to prevent this from happening, we have prepared two methods..."

Igor Yaroslavsky's eyes widened: There are two other ways?
"First, we are rich, we are very rich!" Zhang Qihang said: "Ukraine is not the Soviet era anymore. As long as you have money, nothing is impossible. As you can see, the hands We, who hold a lot of dollars, can tell the heads of the 'Progressive' Machine Building Bureau that whoever supports us and stands on our side can get a lot of money, and even in this cooperation Long-term benefit, who is against us..."

Igor Yaroslavsky was angry, he didn't expect Zhang Qihang's methods to be so bad!
But apart from his anger, he also shuddered. Having witnessed the ups and downs of Ukraine in the past few years since independence, he knew very well how powerful the dollars in Zhang Qihang's hands are. There is no way.But in Igor Yaroslavsky's view, this is not the reason for him to surrender. With his eyes wide open, he gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Qihang: "I can go to Kyiv..."

Before Igor Yaroslavsky could finish speaking, Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, we can also use US dollars to silence the mouths of those people in Kyiv... You don't have to doubt the integrity of those people, you know it , as long as you give money, they will do things for you."

"..."

Andrei Abramowski's shoulders trembled violently. He thought Zhang Qihang's words were too funny.

But at the same time, he also thinks what Zhang Qihang said is right. The integrity of those politicians in Kyiv is really commendable. As long as they take the money, they will definitely help you with things—whoever dares to take money and do nothing will be immediately punished by them. His peers were ripped off, and everyone's reputation should not be ruined because of a rat droppings.

Instead, Zhang Qihang ignored Andrei Abramowski, who was suppressing a smile, and looked at Igor Yaroslavsky with a smile and said, "Mr. Yaroslavsky, I still need to tell you Can you introduce the second method?"

"no need."

Igor Yaroslavsky had a resentful look on his face. Even if Zhang Qihang didn't say anything, he could still think of the so-called second method that Zhang Qihang said, which made him feel very upset: According to his teacher's In other words, Huaxia people are a group of polite and good students, why did such a freak appear in such a polite country?

"Since you don't want to listen, then we won't talk about it," Zhang Qihang nodded, and continued: "Of course, if the 'Progressive' Machine Manufacturing Bureau agrees to cooperate with us, we won't let our friends suffer, such as our Hua Teng Industrial Group will pay you for the purchase of the engine with various food and light industrial products, and you should be very clear about how much money you can earn once these food and light industrial products change hands."

Food and light manufactured goods to pay for the purchase of engines?

Not to mention, when Zhang Qihang mentioned this payment method, Igor Yaroslavsky was really moved. It is true that in Ukraine today, the dollar is a good thing, but it is really a good thing , or all kinds of light industrial products such as food, medicine, clothing, shoes and hats, etc., if the other party is really willing to pay for the purchase of the engine in this way, then the "Progress" Machine Manufacturing Bureau can make a lot of money as soon as it changes hands At the same time, the employees of the "Progressive" Machine Manufacturing Bureau can even transform into small retailers, wholesale and retail their own things, and can also subsidize their households. From this perspective, it can be said that the entire "Progressive" machine Manufacturing bureaus will benefit.

"Well, if that's the case, it's not impossible to consider," Igor Yaroslavsky said angrily: "But you should know that I am not the only one who has the final say on this matter.

Also, besides the TVD-20-03 engine, what do you want?Let me make it clear first, don't even think about things like the D-18T engine, it's not a question of whether we can sell it, but..."

Before Igor Yaroslavsky could finish speaking, Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile on his face: "I understand that the Americans are staring at things like the D-18T engine. What we can’t do, we know that, as a company, we do this kind of useless work.”

"You just understand."

While Igor Yaroslavsky responded with his mouth, he kept curling his lips in his heart: Are you still "as a company"?What a joke!
In Igor Yaroslavsky's view, the few Chinese people in front of him are basically members of the Chinese government.

Zhang Qihang didn't care about the look in Igor Yaroslavsky's eyes, and continued: "On this project, we will try to convince you other gentlemen of the 'Progressive' Machine Building Bureau, and as you said, we really Need to buy some other things, such as AI-25TL turbofan engine, DV-2 turbofan engine and D-36 turbofan engine, etc..."

"Wait a minute," Igor Yaroslavsky frowned and interrupted Zhang Qihang: "Let's not talk about whether it is feasible or not, just from a technical point of view, you want to buy D-36 I can understand the technology of the engine, but why are you selling AI-25TL and DV-2 two outdated engine technologies? They are not even capable of powering light fighter jets, and can only be used as power for trainers.”

"Naturally, we have our own reasons." Of course, Zhang Qihang couldn't explain it to Igor Yaroslavsky, but said, "Just tell me, how likely is the technology transfer of these three engines?"

"It's hard!" Igor Yaroslavsky glanced at Zhang Qihang, and said honestly and bluntly: "Except for the D-36, to be honest, neither the DV-2 nor the AI-25TL are of any importance. Technological things can even be said to be backward. If you are any company in Europe or the United States, there is no problem at all, but you are a Chinese company. Since you want to buy it, it means that you cannot produce it yourself.

From my personal point of view, of course I don't mind selling the technology of these two engines to you. Even as long as you can afford it, D-36 and D-18T are not out of consideration, but you should be very clear, It is impossible for the United States and Europe to agree with Ukraine to do so. "

Zhang Qihang pursed his lips and did not speak, but he had to admit that Igor Yaroslavsky had hit the point: the AI-25TL turbofan engine is the same as the Yak-40 airliner and the Czech L-39 jet trainer. The power systems on board these two aircrafts are both models developed in the mid-to-late 60s, and the engine AL-25TL that is matched with them is also a product of the same technical level, and it has a history of almost 30 years. It cannot be called advanced in any way;

而DV-2则是80年代中期，捷克准备将L-39教练机升级为L-59高级喷气式教练机（开始的项目叫做L-36MS）的时候，“进步”机器制造局在AL-25TL的基础上为捷克量身定制的一款推力更大的涡扇发动机，这款名为DV-2的涡扇发动机是由苏联“进步”机器制造局研制、捷克自己生产，本质上也是一款70年代初技术水平的涡扇发动机。

But these two engines with fairly average technical levels, because Huaxia cannot produce them, once the United States and Europe get the news, they will definitely try their best to prevent Huaxia from obtaining related technologies. There is no doubt about this.

After a while, Zhang Qihang said: "What if our country can already produce AI-25TL turbofan engines?"

When Igor Yaroslavsky heard this, his eyes widened instantly and he said in disbelief: "You can produce your own AI-25TL engine? When did it happen? I don't know why we still want you to transfer this engine Technology?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Igor Yaroslavsky knew where the problem was: as early as the 80s, when the Soviet Union still existed, Huaxia purchased a lot of AI-25TL engines from the "Progressive" Machine Building Bureau as They are developing the power of a jet trainer. Over the years, that company in Huaxia has successively purchased more than 200 AI-25TL engines from the "Progress" Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, in order to use their own knowledge of China's aviation industry and aeroengines. The understanding of industrial development, um... the answer to this question is already quite obvious...

Zhang Qihang did not answer Igor Yaroslavsky's question, but said: "Our country officially decided to develop this engine in 1992, and it was officially ignited last year. You should have heard the news, so Mr. Yaroslavsky, do you think we have no chance of getting AI-25TL and DV-2 engines?"

"Is that so..."

Igor Yaroslavsky did not doubt that Zhang Qihang would lie about this kind of matter, and he couldn't help but seriously consider the possibility of this matter: If China can really produce AI-25TL engines, then the United States and Europe The attitude of Ukrainian Anghuaxia to transfer these two engine technologies is more questionable...
