It can be said that it is a reflection of the current mentality of China and Russia in cooperation in engine manufacturing technology. Lao Maozi's bad reputation in the past has made China worry that its investment will be in vain. For this

At one point, the most realistic portrayal is that of poor Indians.

In the 1990s, one of India's two aircraft carriers had to be decommissioned, while the other had been in service for 42 years. As a major country that wants to control the Indian Ocean, the Indian Navy is naturally concerned about this situation.

This cannot be tolerated, so they must purchase new aircraft carriers as soon as possible to fill the gap. At first, they looked at French aircraft carriers, but France refused to sell them. Later, they had no choice but to turn to the Russian Navy's Kiev-class aircraft carrier "Gore"

"Shkov".

The "Gorshkov" was launched in the early 1980s and officially entered service at the end of the 1990s. By the end of the 1990s, it had been in service for only a dozen years and was still in its prime. However, due to insufficient military expenditures of the Russian Navy, the "Gorshkov"

The "Rshkov" is poorly maintained and has many problems. The Russian Navy also plans to sell it in exchange for funds to make up for the lack of military spending. But the Indians have calculated that they will buy it and carry out renovation and repairs. The overall cost

It may be as high as 700 million U.S. dollars, which is also a big expense for Indians, which makes them hesitant.

Later, the then Russian Prime Minister visited India and proposed that the Russian government intended to donate the hull of the "Gorshkov" to India free of charge, but the costs of renovating, refitting, and equipping the ship, and building the fleet would be borne by India itself.

.This big pie falling from the sky excited the Indians, so the two sides soon began negotiations. Since the Russian government insisted that the aircraft carrier must be refitted in Russia, the refitting cost was about 700 to 800 million U.S. dollars, and India must also purchase Russian aircraft carriers.

The total cost of manufacturing carrier-based aircraft and other weapons and equipment may reach 2.2-3 billion U.S. dollars. The two sides negotiated for more than six years before reaching a package agreement with a total amount of 1.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2004.

But what the Indians didn't expect next was that the aircraft carrier that was supposed to be renovated in 2008, and which the Indians named "Vikramaditya", is still being renovated. If we say

If there were no major changes, the "Vikramaditya" had only started sea trials when Fang Mingyuan passed away in his previous life. It was four years late, and the cost of modifications had also increased significantly. It is said that Russia required Indians to make additional repairs.

The Vikramaditya will be delivered to India only after paying more than one billion US dollars in modification money. Although what will happen next, when will the Russians deliver the Vikramaditya to India, Fang Mingyuan will

He doesn’t know anymore, but he can be sure that India will be taken advantage of.

Domestic people are also worried that the Russians are also playing the trick of empty handed in the research of PD14 motive. They use China's funds to research PD14 motive, but in the end they give China a mess.

But Fang Mingyuan knew that the Russians were also worried. Not only were they worried that the Chinese would "copy" Russian technology, they were also worried that if China made up its mind to leave Russia and go it alone, although China would not be able to take advantage, Russia itself would not feel comfortable either. These things

In recent years, Russia has barely been able to keep up with the United States in terms of military aircraft, but in the civil aviation industry, it has been left behind by European and American countries.

Watching European and American passenger aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus launch new passenger aircraft at regular intervals, Canada's Bombardier, Embraer and Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group are also following their footsteps, and Japan is also showing its own

The Russians are equally anxious to develop civilian passenger aircraft. If they don't keep up, in a few years, all the capital left by the former Soviet Union to Russia will be eaten up, and Russia's civil aviation manufacturing industry will be completely left behind.

What Russia lacks most today is money, not only in the civil aviation industry, but also in the military industry! Moreover, the lack of money has led to serious brain drain! Whether it is the development of new materials, new process design, the application of new theories, aviation engines

Any small improvement often requires top technical personnel, the best experimental equipment, a large amount of raw materials and a lot of time to obtain the most reliable improvement measures.

After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, a large number of scientists, engineers and senior technicians were poached. Even those scientists, engineers and senior technicians who stayed in Russia were unable to develop new projects due to a long-term lack of sufficient funds.

There is no energy and money to communicate with international colleagues, resulting in the aging of the knowledge system, the deterioration of skill levels, and the continuous reduction of this group of people due to illness and age. Moreover, this industry is very short of fresh blood, and low wages are simply not enough.

Attracting enough outstanding talents to join and serve for a long time, some Russian experts have publicly declared that if the current situation does not change, in another ten years, the assembly quality level of Russia's military products may usher in a collapse!

This is not alarmist. In recent years, the quality control of Russian engines has been in a very serious decline. This is an indisputable fact. This is also an important reason why Fang Mingyuan actively promotes the establishment of domestic engine group companies and never takes advantage of Russia.

Pen, maybe in another ten years, Russia’s civil aviation engine manufacturing technology will not be of much significance to China. And by that time, domestic large aircraft manufacturing will rely more and more on Western engine manufacturing companies.

. Therefore, China and Russia are worried about each other, but they both understand that cooperation will benefit both parties. The Fang family jointly established this company with Russian companies, which became a compromise.

Guo Qingshan nodded. Indeed, as Fang Mingyuan said, the research and production of PD14 required at least a billion dollars of investment. It is still unknown whether it can succeed in the end and whether it can meet the envisaged standards. This is for a company with a tight budget.

For Russia, it is indeed a huge pressure and urgently needs external funds to join.

"But in the future, the financial pressure will turn around." Guo Qingshan said. As for the Motivation Group Company that will be established, Fang Mingyuan insists on holding a controlling stake. Naturally, he will have greater responsibilities in the future.

"The greater the pressure, the greater the motivation! Uncle Guo, the future management of the company depends on you, but we must not be suppressed by Russia. We must follow our pace." Fang Mingyuan said seriously, "No matter what

Whether it is a ps9o turbofan engine or the PD14 engine that is under development, we must get as much technical data and equipment from Russia as possible, even if we pay a little more money, it doesn’t matter.”

This is the last economic crisis he knows, and it is also his last chance to make "black money". Obtaining Russian motive manufacturing technology requires more than just money. Two years ago, I am afraid that if he had made this request, Sri Lanka would have

Jepashenneng spit on his own face. As the saying goes, an opportunity cannot be missed and it will never come back. After passing this village, no one can say whether there will be this shop again!

"I understand!" Guo Qingshan nodded heavily. He was already about to retire. Being able to participate in such an important project also made him restart the idea of ​​​​fighting hard. In the future history of China's civil aviation engines, Guo Qingshan will also

Leave something behind.

"Fang, congratulations on taking an important step." Gilchrist came over and Fang Mingyuan smiled.

"Thank you. I also want to congratulate Kidd on your promotion." Fang Mingyuan also smiled. Not long ago, Gilchrist became the managing director of the Board of Directors of General Electric Group Company. This made his status in General Electric Group Company

has been further improved.

Gilchrist hugged Fang Mingyuan's shoulders affectionately and said with a smile: "Others don't know it, but you don't know it yet? I must thank you!" The reason why he was able to successfully become the managing director of the board of directors and his success

It is inextricably linked to the rapid development of the Chinese market. And the reason why he was able to do this was that these companies under the Fang family and Fang Mingyuan's influence can be said to have played an important role.

General Electric Aircraft Engine Company has now become the largest supplier of aviation engines required by Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company. With the purchase of more than 200 engines every year, it has become an important customer of General Electric Aircraft Engine Company. At this moment, it is seen that

Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company is about to launch new models and continue to expand the market. The heads of General Electric Aircraft Engines are naturally happy. Although General Electric Aircraft Engines is also the world's three largest aviation engine supplier, but the global civil aviation

There are only a few passenger aircraft manufacturing companies, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are too many monks and too few people. In order to compete for orders, the businessmen of General Electric Aircraft Engine Company have also resorted to twelve factors. Now there is an additional Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company.

Although the purchase volume of more than 200 engines a year is not comparable to that of Boeing and Airbus, it still generates billions of dollars more revenue. More importantly, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company has developed very

The rapid development has made General Electric Aircraft Motives full of expectations for its future.

GE Capital Aviation Services has also purchased a large number of passenger aircraft from Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company in recent years and leased them to many airlines around the world. Both the md9o and Boeing 717 have received high praise from these users. Naturally, it has also given GE Capital Aviation

The service company has brought huge returns. Moreover, many companies under the General Electric Group Company also have various cooperation with the companies under the Fang family, which can bring huge benefits to the General Electric Group Company every year.

It was these achievements that enabled him to become the managing director of General Electric Group!

For the sake of his future status in the General Electric Group and for his further promotion, Gilchrist must continue to maintain a good relationship with Fang Mingyuan. MD95 passenger aircraft, this time GE Capital Aviation Services purchased

Twenty-five!

The two of them were polite, and Gilchrist said: "Fang, you heard, right? American International Group plans to sell International Leasing Finance Corporation."

Fang Mingyuan nodded. American International Group is an international multinational insurance and financial services institution group. However, it suffered heavy losses in the financial crisis caused by the subprime mortgage crisis. Last year, the U.S. Federal Reserve decided to provide it with US$85 billion in loans.

Assistance was obtained in exchange for 80% of the shares of American International Group, completing absolute control. In order to reverse the losses of American International Group, American International Group sold its assets one after another, and International Leasing Finance Company was one of them.

"Aren't you, GE Capital Aviation Services, interested in International Leasing Finance Company?" Fang Mingyuan asked with a smile. International Leasing Finance Company can be said to be one of GE Capital Aviation Services' biggest competitors. If GE Capital Aviation Services

The company successfully merged with International Lease Finance Corporation and is about to become the world's largest aircraft financial lessor that no one can challenge.

"There is interest, but it is unrealistic." Gilchrist sighed. Not to mention that due to the economic crisis, the performance of the global air transport industry has declined significantly. Some countries have even experienced negative growth, and some airlines have gone bankrupt or are facing

Bankruptcy, the aircraft financial leasing industry has naturally been hit hard, and GE Capital Aviation Services is no exception. More importantly, if GE Capital Aviation Services acquires International Leasing Finance Corporation, it is likely that the government will

The relevant departments reviewed it in the name of antitrust and ultimately disapproved it. Both companies are world-renowned aviation financial leasing companies, and their shares in the world market are quite astonishing, and even more so domestically.

Moreover, GE Capital Aviation Services is also worried that the acquisition of International Leasing Finance Corporation will bring heavy financial pressure to itself. After all, no one knows when the economic crisis will be over.

"I heard that a consortium in your country is contacting AIG and intends to take over International Leasing Finance Corporation?" Gilchrist asked.

"I didn't pay attention to this." Fang Mingyuan shook his head.

Gilchrist smiled and asked: "Aren't you interested in International Leasing Finance Company?"

"I am interested, but if I want to acquire it if I am interested, it will be useless even if my personal assets are expanded tenfold." Fang Mingyuan shrugged, "Actually, I am very interested in General Electric Group."

Gilchrist laughed and said after a while: "I believe that the company's board of directors will be very happy if they hear this news." Fang Mingyuan is optimistic about General Electric Group. If this news gets out, I believe that the stock price of General Electric Group will even be
Chapter completed!
