Chapter 909 Isn't it right? I am talking to Mr. Chang?
In fact, if possible, Snecma does not want to print China Aviation Development's LOGO on the M88 engine display board.
As the pride of France, the power used by Rafale is mixed with the blood of China.
Although it sounds great to do, it doesn't sound good when told about it.
However, let's talk about it and make trouble again.
Contracts signed in black and white must still be recognized—
No matter from which level, M88 is a model jointly developed by France and China.
If the relevant information about the latter's participation is really erased, Snecma will be responsible if any mistakes are made in publicity in the future...
So, although they have reduced the area of the two LOGOs as much as possible.
And set it in the lower right corner where it is most easily blocked by the display frame.
Even, the background of the exhibition board was specially made into a blue color that is close to the logo of China Aerospace Power Group.
But it is not difficult for those with sharp eyes to see it.
"Eh?"
Yang Quanzhi behind him also discovered this "bright spot" at this time:
"I said Lao Guo, can this...be considered an exhibit of the Aerospace Power Group?"
In fact, compared to Guo Ruiqing, whose main task is to collect intelligence information, Yang Quanzhi's purpose of coming to Paris this time is simpler.
It is to promote the new model and see if we can find possible orders.
So, he is actually more concerned about these issues than the former.
Guo Ruiqing touched his chin:
“Strictly speaking... they just said before that they would not bring physical exhibits from China...”
Hearing this sentence, Yang Quanzhi called him a good guy in his heart.
It turns out that the foreshadowing has been laid long ago, and we are just waiting here...
As middle and senior managers of the Aviation Industry Group, the two of them naturally knew about the cooperation between the 606 Institute and Snecma to improve the M88 engine.
Even know some of the details.
But I never thought that it would be carried out in such a straightforward form of "joint research and development".
You must know that the aviation industry has also engaged in de facto cooperation with Europeans in recent years.
For example, the most typical NH90/straight 12.
Nearly 40% of the research and development work for this model was completed by the Bingfei Group. It can be said that the "subtle content" far exceeds all other projects.
But after all, everyone's name is “NATO Helicopter”, so it's not easy to do it too blatantly.
In order to avoid suspicion, the two parties still used the form of suppliers to each other to cover it up.
Therefore, only the national flags of France, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands have been painted on the NH90 exhibition boards.
Correspondingly, China's Zhi-12 is also “self-developed” on the surface.
Anyway, don't ask why they look alike.
As long as there is a clear understanding, that's it.
Of course, this time, the Aviation Industry Group did not bring the Zhi-12.
First, the range of a helicopter is too short compared to a fixed-wing helicopter, so it is impossible to fly over from other places. Renting an An-124 is a huge expense.
Another one, the current Zhi 12A is supported by two TV3-117VMs that are not small in size. The performance is decent, but the shape of the big-headed son is really not very pleasing.
It would be awkward to compete with NH90.
Furthermore, in China's traditional arms sales market, there is really not much demand for such high-end helicopters.
Fortunately, the Bingfei Group still has the AC139, a super cash cow that makes three people happy, and it is not in a hurry to open up new military markets.
But looking at the M88 engine in front of him, Yang Quanzhi still felt a little regretful:
“If only we could sign this kind of cooperation agreement with Eurocopter when we were building the Z-12... Tsk tsk.”
NH90 is now parked at a booth about 200 meters away from the two of them, and many colleagues from participating countries are already standing around it.
If a five-star red flag can be added to it.
The effect should be very explosive.
China's aviation industry is now at a stage where the development speed is so fast that not only outsiders, but also our own people sometimes cannot keep up with the reality.
Therefore, whether externally or internally, we urgently need to seize every opportunity to carry out publicity.
Establish the image of Chinese products first.
However, his fantasy was quickly dispelled by Guo Ruiqing next to him:
“Well... the situation at that time was still different from now, so we can't generalize.”
The latter was changing film in his camera and replied without raising his head:
"When we participated in the NH90 project, on the one hand, NATO seemed to be monolithic, without so many obvious internal flaws later. On the other hand, the image of our Chinese products was still completely negative. Others would definitely follow our lead in publicity. Cut it, otherwise it may be difficult to sell..."
Guo Ruiqing is about 10 years older than Yang Quanzhi, and has been promoted to middle management during the head office era. The latter was still an ordinary grassroots employee at the time, and gradually became successful after the two companies separated.
Different experiences naturally lead to different perspectives on things.
“I'm a little impressed when you say that.”
Yang Quanzhi took his eyes away from the M88 display board:
“It seems that there was a fraud scandal involving Japanese companies in Europe back then. It is said that it was because of the NH90 project that they pulled up the carrots and brought out the mud?”
“Indeed it is.”
Guo Ruiqing has a relatively rich understanding of events in his early years:
"Those devil companies are very clever when it comes to counterfeiting. They even cut corners and cut materials. If you use it according to the normal margin, you won't find any problems for ten or eight years. If we hadn't happened to They have seized a very narrow opportunity on a part of NH90, I guess they can continue to hide it..."
Speaking of this matter, normal Chinese people, especially members of the aviation industry system, would feel proud.
Therefore, Guo Ruiqing also spent about ten minutes with great interest in talking about a series of wonderful operations that year.
“Of course, to put it bluntly, they still have their own problems.”
Finally, Guo Ruiqing concluded:
“If there was no such thing as quality inspection fraud, we would never have been able to find this fatal loophole..."
After finishing speaking, he hung the camera around his neck again and prepared to take pictures of the details of the EF2000. The modified self-use J-10A is somewhat similar to the Typhoon in its cross-sectional shape.
Especially the idea of mainly using the relatively flat belly space to carry a large amount of ammunition can be said to coincide completely.
In contrast, the Rafale prefers to carry a larger number of small-sized ammunition in the under-wing space.
Only the centerline pylon on the belly of the aircraft has been additionally reinforced to carry ASMPR missiles equipped with nuclear warheads as a theoretical air-based nuclear deterrent.
However, similar to the situation of the Chinese Air Force, the French Air Force actually has no nuclear-related positions, so this nuclear deterrent also only exists in theory.
Just when Guo Ruiqing raised his camera and was about to press the shutter, Yang Quanzhi, who was hurrying to catch up with him, was still stuck on the topic.
“So Lao Guo, according to what you just said, there happens to be a component on the NH90 that is designed according to the upper limit of the model's performance, so it was exposed that the Japanese had falsified the test report...”
Obviously, Yang Quanzhi had been thinking about this matter just now, so his reaction was half a beat slow:
“Doesn't that mean that this matter has been planned since I participated in the design of NH90? It would be outrageous to say it is a coincidence..."
"Of course."
Guo Ruiqing almost lay on the ground, taking photos of the position of the EF2000 belly pylon, and replied.
"I go…"
Yang Quanzhi looked dumbfounded:
“Whose idea is this? It can be so long-term...”
“Wait a minute...you don't know?”
Guo Ruiqing stopped pressing the shutter and looked up at Yang Quanzhi in disbelief.
But he quickly reacted:
"Oh yes...you should have been at the Institute of Special Technology at that time, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it."
This reaction made Yang Quanzhi a little confused:
“Well…I don't know what I don't know…”
“No…I mean…”
For a moment, he felt that his language module might be burned.
“The entire NH90/Zhi-12 project, as well as the series of things that followed, were all done by Mr. Chang back then.”
Guo Ruiqing deliberately lowered his voice, causing Yang Quanzhi, who was still hesitating to organize his words, to fall silent immediately.
After a while, the latter spoke again:
"Mr. Chang...you mean...that...that Mr. Chang?"
He said and pointed to the M88 engine promotional sign next to him.
Although he didn't say it directly, the meaning was already obvious.
"if not?"
Guo Ruiqing got up from the ground and patted the dirt on himself:
“There is no second CEO Chang in our aviation industry system, right?”
"ah?"
Although he had already made some speculations just now, Yang Quanzhi still felt a little scared after getting the concrete results:
“I heard...the reason why we at Rongfei divided the J-10 into two versions, A and E, was also the suggestion left by Mr. Chang back then.”
Yang Quanzhi is not from a technical background, and he was transferred to Rongfei not long ago, so he mainly hears and hears a lot of news.
Unexpectedly, Guo Ruiqing nodded without surprise:
“I know that.”
"You know this as well?"
Yang Quanzhi felt a little embarrassed—
What I thought was a secret turned out to be something that everyone in the world knew about.
"certainly."
Guo Ruiqing continued to make another cut:
“Moreover, not only the J-10E, but also the J-7F and the J-9, which have been mainly exported in recent years, were all launched when Mr. Chang was still at the head office.”
Yang Quanzhi opened his mouth several times in succession, but no sound came out.
Just stared at Guo Ruiqing and blinked.
His current feelings can be summed up as -
No, I'm going to fight Mr. Chang on the opposite side?
You should know that before this trip, the leader had a special talk with him.
It is said that he hopes that in recent years, the aviation industry group will not be surpassed by the aviation power group in terms of export volume.
He also said that this task is very stressful. Although the opponent does not have much pure export business yet, it must not be taken lightly.
At that time, he felt that the leadership was a bit unfounded.
The result is now…
You tell me that the leading models currently earning foreign exchange from exports are all leftovers from the rival company's senior executives?
Laughing to death, no wonder the leader vaccinated him in advance...
Isn't this equivalent to learning the basic rules of Go on the front foot, and then playing ten rounds of chess with Nie Sheng on the back foot?
“So...why didn't Mr. Chang stay at the group level when we split up?”
Yang Quanzhi asked in a bitter tone.
"because…"
Guo Ruiqing also scratched his hair in distress:
“Because it is Mr. Chang's personal opinion to separate the aero-engines to form a new group…”
