Chapter 439 An 70's fate

Maybe it's because the ship is small and easy to turn around, but Bangkok Airways' efficiency is far beyond almost everyone's imagination.

After Haojing provided the quotation and delivery guarantee required by Regit, they almost immediately sent another higher-level team over, led by the general manager himself.

This team once again experienced the entire flight process of the M60, and then after simple and even hasty negotiations, they signed an order contract with additional conditions.

The main thing is that in this matter, both sides feel that they have taken advantage of it.

For Bangkok Airways, they can purchase an aircraft with all-around performance exceeding the ATR72-500 at a similar price and with lower follow-up maintenance costs.

In addition, the additional terms also stated that if the first aircraft cannot be delivered on time, they can get a full refund and a liquidated damages, with almost no risk.

For China Aviation Industry Corporation, this customer who fell from the sky was a complete surprise.

You must know that even Beijiang Airlines, which was previously considered the most likely to purchase the M60, has not yet signed an actual order.

Since you are picking up money, you don't care whether you pick up more or less.

So, everyone was happy.

However, if some people are happy, others will naturally be sad.

Six time zones away

Alexander Chulsky is sitting a little stiffly in the office of Anatoly Kuritsyn, the general director of the Ivchenko-Progressive Design Bureau.

Even though he has lived here since he can remember, today is indeed the first time he has walked into the core building of this design bureau.

About ten days ago, that is, on the day that Chulsky had just received his salary, he accidentally heard the news that an inconspicuous but smart person needed to be sent to Kiev on a business trip.

This made him think a lot.

Although he has never engaged in any other profession except carpentry and has not attended university, Chulsky is relatively confident in his brain.

If it were left in the past, he would definitely not be interested in work like a business trip. Not to mention the long train ride. With the current financial situation of Ivchenko-Progressive Design Bureau, it may be difficult to provide sufficient reimbursement funds. .

The big city is certainly prosperous, but everything has nothing to do with his empty pockets.

At least you can enjoy a free lunch every day while staying in the design bureau.

But things were different that day.

On the one hand, it was because wages had just been paid, which meant that the bureau had some money, and on the other hand, it was because I had just heard a lot of rumors from Ivanov.

This was like opening the door to a new world for him.

Especially the part related to the Chinese people.

It is said that those who came from the east would carry dollars in sacks and buy anything they were interested in.

Chulsky will certainly not take this exaggerated statement completely seriously, but since there are such rumors, I am afraid they are not groundless.

At least, judging from the fact that the design bureau was suddenly able to issue wages, it should be true that China has money.

So he used some connections to make himself a candidate for a business trip to Kiev.

In fact, the task assigned to him by the leadership of the design bureau was surprisingly simple.

Although the situation of Antonov Company is better, it is also from the corporate level. At most, the treatment of key personnel can be slightly guaranteed, and the lives of most of the low-level cows and horses will not be any different.

So he just wandered around the other party for a few times and got out a lot of useful information through a few meals.

Some people said that they had seen many Germans in the company who came to discuss business...

The manufacturing of the second prototype has come to an end, and now it is just waiting for the final debugging and the four D27 engines to be put in place before it can make its first flight again...

Some people also saw many Chinese people coming and going frequently...

In short, there are all kinds of true and false rumors flying all over the sky, and many of the statements, and even many people's own statements, are inconsistent.

However, one thing is for sure. The An-70 project is definitely not bad and is still moving forward according to the plan.

Originally, Chulsky could return to Zaporozhye when he got here, but after all the trouble, he finally got a chance to escape at public expense, so naturally he had to do some things of his own.

So he directly made up an identity for himself as "an engineer assigned by the Ivchenko Design Bureau to the Antonov Company responsible for aviation power matching", and then often wandered around Grushevsky Street where the number of foreigners was relatively dense. .

This identity is half-true and half-false, and highly deceptive. His work certificate is genuine, and he has lived and worked in the design bureau for more than 20 years. All details are flawless.

Although his job title is listed on his ID card, Chulsky ventured to guess that the vast majority of second-tier dealers who come to Kiev to do business cannot understand Russian.

He bet was right.

After a few days, he actually came into contact with a businessman with an Asian face, and they even left each other's contact information. The other party expressed that he is interested in all industrial products. If there are relevant channels, you can contact him.

Transactions are in US dollars.

This made him excited for several days, although he couldn't think of anything he could offer to the other party for a while.

However, Chulsky felt that Zaporozhye, as an important industrial base of the past alliance, would always have opportunities as long as he paid attention.

However, the good times did not last long. Now, the gloomy expression of his general manager made him wonder whether it was known that he was using public funds for private affairs outside...

　That Asian's dollar is still a castle in the air after all. If he is kicked out of the design bureau or even thrown into jail...

Chulsky was a little afraid to continue thinking about it.

He could only force himself to calm down and tell what he saw and heard in Kiev during this period:

“Based on the information I gathered from Antonov's grassroots employees, An70 should still be under normal development...”

Somewhat strangely, although the task of sending Chulsky to Kiev was personally given by Kuritsyn, he seemed a little absent-minded about it today.

"General manager?"

The former, who had not received a response for a long time, couldn't stand it any longer, so he simply called out.

Stretching out one's head is the same as shrinking one's head. He thought that he should give himself a happy life.

"oh…"

Kuritsyn, who finally came to his senses, did not ask any further questions, but just nodded:

“Your observation is very accurate, very good. Go to the finance department and get the business trip allowance.”

"ah?"

Chulsky, who thought he was about to die, was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party obviously knew nothing about what he was doing in Kiev:

“Oh, okay...okay.”

Kuritsyn waved his hand impatiently, indicating that he could leave.

After sending Chulsky away, the former let out a long sigh, lowered his head and opened the drawer in front of him, and took out a document from it.

The above is the decision from the Board of Directors of Motorsic Group.

The design bureau and the manufacturing plant are required to devote all their efforts to the research and development of the AL460S engine and cooperate with the technical personnel of Aodian Company to complete the development of the DA450 aircraft.

“Now, our sin will be huge...”

Kuritsyn muttered to himself sadly.

Investing all manpower and funds into the development of a new model will inevitably affect the further improvement of the D27 engine.

This propeller fan engine with a peculiar principle can be said to be the core of the entire An70 project.

At this critical juncture, if the power system is delayed for a few years, we don't know what changes will happen.

Although the An-70 has excellent performance, it has never been the only choice for potential customers. The Germans can turn around and participate in the A400M, and China can continue to introduce the IL-76, or even cooperate with Ilyushin or Tupolev to produce its own Large transport aircraft.

As a result, the Motor Sic Group itself is not the only one who will be affected.

Antonov, and even the revival of the country's aviation industry as a whole, will suffer a major blow.

This move is completely a conspiracy.

Even if the DA450 is developed, the market for general aviation and junior trainer aircraft will not be able to bring huge profits. It will only die immediately after taking another breath.

What's more, the plane itself is not very reliable.

Thinking of this, Kuritsen suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Belayev had already seen something was wrong with the Austrian Diamond Company before, but it was of no use.

He has seen clearly that everyone from the company's board of directors to Minister Ribiazin of the Ministry of Industry is on the opposite side of him.

　　　To say that this group of people did not receive any benefits from Arcane, I would not even believe it.

Kuritsen, who has always been well-educated, said a curse word:

“The enemy is in the Verkhovna Rada…”
