Chapter 1332 One thought of heaven, one thought of hell
This is the "embarrassing" situation caused in the modern era. What people covet is Western aesthetics. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this kind of aesthetics. It is also beautiful and generous, but they cannot abandon their own traditional culture.
It wasn’t until more than ten years later that everyone realized this truth, but by then many of them had become antiques and could only be seen in museums.
No matter how powerful Liu Lang is, he can't change the status quo, he can only leave some behind as much as he can. This may be some regrets of the development of the times.
Liu Lang wore a new tunic suit and attended the celebration party held by Bai Weiren. His tall and straight figure became the focus of the scene as soon as he appeared. There is no way, who has made him cheat since he was a child, and he has attracted attention wherever he goes.
.
Bai Weiren delivered a passionate speech, which was highly praised by all scientific researchers and participants. Professor Qin Lie also delivered an affectionate speech. He did not have any gorgeous words, but everyone was impressed by his broad mind and enthusiasm.
Infected by patriotic enthusiasm, it is definitely a baptism of the soul.
It's just that this celebration will not be publicized to the outside world, because the purpose of the large aircraft project is to build a complete aircraft. The engine is just the beginning. There is still a lot of work to be done, but there is no doubt that the development of the engine is successful.
It is a milestone. In the past, some people may have questioned this plan and thought that we could not do it, but now we cannot
No one will question this plan anymore. Everyone thinks that it is only a matter of time before the country builds a large aircraft. When Professor Qin originally got the design drawings, he thought it would be successful by the end of this century, but now the time has been advanced, maybe in two years.
In this year, a large aircraft whose core technology is completely mastered by Chinese people will appear in front of the world.
The country held a state banquet to entertain everyone, and Liu Lang sat with Professor Qin and others. Bai Weiren was the first to come to the table with a wine glass.
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Song, Mr. Chen, by the way, and you, Liu Lang, good guy, I haven't seen you in two years and you have grown so tall. You are really a pillar of talent!"
Bai Weiren was very happy today.
"Come on, let me toast you all. You have created a miracle and improved the industrial level of our country by a large amount!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank in one gulp.
Soon the atmosphere at the scene became lively, and Jiang Botao pulled Liu Lang aside to chat.
Jiang Botao is now also a deputy prime minister, and is still in charge of industry. He has worked in the industrial system all his life and has witnessed various stages of the country's industry. Now that he has seen the successful development of a large aircraft engine, he is naturally ecstatic.
"Liu Lang! To be honest, you are the decisive factor in the large aircraft project. Without you, today's lively scene would never have happened, so I want to thank you, and I sincerely thank you!"
"Mr. Jiang, you can't say that. Even without me, there will be no problems with the country's big aircraft. This is the general trend."
Liu Lang didn't dare to be greedy for merit.
"No, I won't talk about the two pieces of information you obtained. Of course, this is also very important. I mean that you blocked the cooperation between our country and McDonnell Douglas in front of Prime Minister Bai. This prompted us to have our own
If we had cooperated with McDonnell Douglas in the development plan of a large aircraft, then everything that followed would have been nonsense."
"So that's it!"
Liu Lang nodded, and it was indeed the case. That happened years ago. At that time, the country was discussing cooperation with McDonnell Douglas. The other party proposed to build an engine production line in the mainland, which would allow the country to master the technology in the future. At that time,
All parties attach great importance to this project. It can be said that most people agree, but the price is a bit high. Just buying this production line will cost 3 billion U.S. dollars, and subsequent installation and personnel training will cost nearly 100 million U.S. dollars.
After Liu Lang heard the news, he met with Bai Weiren and the chief officers of various departments. He said that McDonnell Douglas' engines had huge flaws.
He did discover a big problem with McDonnell Douglas engines when he was studying at Stanford University, but this was not the key to his stopping it.
In the previous life, the country did cooperate with McDonnell Douglas, so it postponed its own large aircraft plan. In fact, this is normal. It is too difficult for the country to independently develop large aircraft. Even if it is launched, it may not be successful in the future. It is better to "
The "use-ism" is gradually digested, and finally a breakthrough is achieved. This is normal logical thinking.
The country spent billions of dollars to buy two sets of production lines, which were settled in Jinhai City. Later, due to various reasons, nothing happened?
This incident did exist, and the country spent a lot of money. Later, the incident was reported. However, the reason was not explained, but it is easy to deduce. That is, the country was deceived by the other party and lost a lot of money.
It’s okay not to mention such embarrassing things.
A large amount of money was lost in this matter, but the money was secondary. The main reason was that it delayed the country's own development plan. The plan for the large aircraft was shelved and was not restarted until after 2000. It was at least thirteen years behind in time.
Year.
In this life, because Liu Lang exposed McDonnell Douglas, the country immediately understood McDonnell Douglas's plan. Of course, they chose to believe Liu Lang, so they came up with a trick and started a "Tai Chi" fight with McDonnell Douglas.
.
Liu Lang heard from Jiang Botao about this matter that many staff members began to go to McDonnell Douglas in the United States in the name of inspection. Nearly a hundred people went there. The cost was of course paid by the other party. After all, McDonnell Douglas wanted to sell the production line to
The other party must "serve" these "big men" well.
McDonnell Douglas spent millions of dollars to entertain guests from the East, but these guests just ate and drank and never mentioned the purchase of a production line. When asked, everyone agreed and said they would report to the leadership, but the result was nothing.
It took a full year for McDonnell Douglas to react. By then, the national large aircraft program had been secretly launched.
Just last year, that is, in 1994, McDonnell Douglas officially went bankrupt and was later acquired by Boeing. The reason disclosed was that McDonnell Douglas had huge hidden dangers in engines and was unable to manufacture large aircraft with more than 200 passengers. The market share
Declining year by year.
When the news spread back to the country, many people in the country's top management realized how wise it was to choose to believe Liu Lang. It can be said that if Liu Lang hadn't been there, the country would be in trouble now. As for the big aircraft plan, it would be even more unlucky.
things that exist.
This is what Jiang Botao was talking about today, and even his ability to go one step further is related to Liu Lang. After all, he is the leader in charge, and he must bear responsibility for causing such a big loss.
Of course, the responsibility is a small matter, and more importantly, it has delayed the country's own large aircraft plan. How can such a big breakthrough be confirmed like now? It is simply a thought of heaven and a thought of hell!
Just as Jiang Botao finished speaking, Bai Weiren came over with a wine glass in hand.
"Liu Lang, I want to give you a special toast! Without your recommendation, our large aircraft project would have ended before it even started. It was also because you collected important information many times that we accelerated the development of the engine. You
He is the most important person, more important than us, come on, let’s have a drink!”
