Chapter 1218 This time, we take the lead

In fact, at this time, Bodi still did not change his previous idea.

After all, the other party’s speech not only represents the Haofa Group, but also represents the Chinese government to some extent.

It's impossible to publicly say that it was all bluffing.

According to his idea, the standards mentioned by Huaxia may indeed exist, but like most regulations related to environmental protection, there should be some adjustments to the effective time.

For example, from 2010 to 2020.

Anyway, judging from the speed of technological development, in ten or twenty years, that standard probably won’t be too exaggerated.

Therefore, Bodi continued to probe according to the words he had thought of long ago:

"But, Ren, even the Trent 900 engine was developed only in accordance with the CAEP6 standard. It also contains your technology and core components. Are you planning to ban them as well?"

In his estimation, Ren Bingda should go with the flow and give a rough range of the effective time.

"Of course not."

Ren Bingda's expression was relaxed, his upper body leaning back against the soft backrest of the chair:

"Our laws and regulations are reasonable, Mr. Bodie. The Trent 900 program completed flight certification in 2006 and is not within the jurisdiction of our new standards."

Everything seemed to be developing as Bodi expected.

He couldn't help but smile.

Until Ren Bingda said the next sentence:

"As long as the models have completed registration and information submission before 2008 and started the certification process in accordance with CAAC standards, they will not be affected."

"Oh, then..."

After saying just two words, the smile on Bodi's face froze.

"and many more……"

He changed his relaxed posture and sat up straight:

"Year 2008?"

The plot seemed to have gone off track all of a sudden.

If it was 2010, 2012, or any other year, Bodi wouldn't really take it too seriously.

Anyway, even if it comes to that time, it can still be postponed.

But in 2008, things were different.

Because according to the plan, CAEP6 will be officially launched in 2008.

In other words, China's so-called "new standard" is not intended to replace CAEP8 as CAEP6 in the future, but to directly replace the latter!

Of course, the content of CAEP itself is not binding, and it is still the laws and regulations of each country that really play a role.

Countries can also decide whether to apply CAEP standards based on actual conditions.

Many developing countries will adjust their own specific regulations based on actual conditions to allow more low-cost aircraft models to be registered.

But directly moving out a more stringent restriction requirement in all aspects...

There has never been a precedent before.

Compared to Bodi's intense reaction, Ren Bingda seemed calm.

It can even be said that it is a little too calm.

"You know, our country will host the Olympic Games in 2008, and this new, stricter domestic standard is specially formulated to welcome friends from all over the world..."

He first spoke some official rhetoric that sounded very high-sounding but no one would take it seriously, and then changed the subject:

"However, Mr. Bodi does not need to worry too much. As I said just now, 2008 refers to the time for model registration and data submission. According to the research and development cycle of civil aviation power, it roughly corresponds to the generation of products that will be put into use between 2012 and 2014."

That being said, it was clear that Bodi couldn't help but be worried.

Because that's not the point at all.

It was at this time that, with the sound of brake friction, the convoy had stopped in front of the office building of the headquarters of Gaojing Group.

"It seems...Mr. Bodi seems to be very interested in this matter?"

Ren Bingda asked knowingly:

"That's great, let's go up and talk in detail."

After saying that, he unbuckled his seat belt, stood up and prepared to take Bodie out of the car.

The latter was still in shock and was ready to think about the follow-up measures while going upstairs.

More than ten minutes later, the prominent representatives of both sides sat back in a conference room.

But the layout here is not the long conference table like in traditional negotiation sites.

Instead, it was a bit like a foreign affairs reception, with the leaders of the two sides placed together, and the others sitting in their respective half-area.

Although Bodi comes from the front-line R&D field, he has also accumulated a lot of management experience over the past six months.

Just now, during the short period of time that we were preparing for the meeting, we already had a rough idea of a new solution.

After a lot of rambling, he pretended to be nonchalant and brought up the previous topic again:

"Ren, the formulation of aviation emission standards is a double-edged sword... As engineers and technicians, we all hope that our products can be as environmentally friendly as possible. However, if the relevant regulations are too strict, it is likely that we will have to reduce performance in order to achieve this. In the long run, it will be detrimental to the rapid development of aviation technology..."

Ren Bingda almost laughed out loud when he heard this, thinking that when you used energy conservation and emission standards to strangle us, you never mentioned any nonsense like environmental protection regulations were not conducive to the development of aviation technology.

Now that we have caught him off guard, he has come to remember these high-sounding rhetoric.

Of course, you can complain in your heart.

We still need to respect each other:

"I think Mr. Bodie is a little too anxious about this."

He used an idiom that is not very friendly to translation:

“Wouldn’t stricter standards encourage companies to invest more resources in research and development, thereby promoting the development of aviation technology?”

After saying this, he let out a hearty laugh.

Bodi had just come up with a countermeasure on the spur of the moment, so his preparations were naturally not perfect. Now that Ren Bingda had frequently attacked him in an unethical way, he was already a little panicked:

"Your point is indeed correct, but the premise is that there will be a company that follows suit first. Otherwise, if the entire industry does not respond, the regulations alone will be nothing more than a piece of paper..."

"..."

It should be said that what Bodi said is absolutely correct.

No matter how good the regulations are, they must be objectively enforceable.

Otherwise, not only will it be impossible to implement, but the regulation itself will become a joke.

This is also the core purpose of his visit.

In the future CAEP8 standard formulation process, we have reached an alliance with China, so as to seize the initiative in the research and development of the next generation of civil aviation engines.

But he didn't expect the other party to be so radical that he could not even deal with it.

Before he finished speaking, he realized that as a representative of the company, it was inappropriate for him to make the statement he had just made.

Due to its high degree of monopoly, the aviation manufacturing industry is essentially a situation where a very small number of companies act as both referees and players, controlling the entire industry through their own hands.

But no matter what you do or say, you still have to avoid suspicion for the sake of face.

Fortunately, Ren Bingda did not dwell on this small problem, but instead gave a serious answer:

"Actually, Mr. Purdy."

He tilted his upper body slightly and moved a little closer to Bodi.

At the same time, he lowered his voice and pretended to want to share some secret with the latter:

"As you said, since we have decided to set standards that are stricter than CAEP, we have naturally found companies that will respond..."

In an instant, Bodi's hair stood on end, and several angry voices kept echoing in his mind:

"My house was robbed?"

"Has anyone else approached Huaxia for cooperation first?"

"Aren't we close friends and family?"

"..."

"who is it?"
