Chapter 167 I have to gather some wool no matter what

The next afternoon.

Beijing, in the office of the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

Ding Gaoheng was frowning as he looked at several meeting minutes on the desk in front of him.

He was obviously in a bad mood, and the air pressure in the room dropped a little because of it.

A person who looked like a secretary stood cautiously next to him, holding several other documents in his hand, wondering whether he should hand them over.

As a cadre with a technical background, Ding Gaoheng has a good temper and even lacks decisiveness in some matters. It must be something unusual to make him so angry today.

"Just leave the files with me and go and rest."

After hearing this, the secretary finally breathed a sigh of relief, gently put the documents in his hand on the corner of the table, and quickly turned around and left the office.

"TMD... what a bunch of trash!"

After the secretary closed the door, Ding Gaoheng punched the table in front of him.

The old comrade leaned back on the chair a little slumpedly, and had an extremely rare eruption.

It wasn't until the cigarette in his hand was almost burned out that he straightened up again, put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, then picked up the documents that the secretary had just put on the table and started to read them again.

"Sigh... they will be waiting for help day by day. The idea of ​​self-reliance is probably gone in their minds."

Ding Gaoheng shook his head and sighed helplessly.

As the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, there are some things that cannot be decided by him alone.

Especially when it comes to the civil aviation industry, the problem of bullish management is quite serious. Although he can rely on his own background and the special status of the Science and Technology Commission to dominate it, no matter how hard it is, a ministerial-level unit cannot truly Make it clear.

What's more important is that Ding Gaoheng, a person with a background in precision instruments, knows almost nothing about international trade and commercial regulations.

Based on his own intuition, he believed that as the fastest growing market in the world's civil aviation industry, China would definitely suffer a big loss if it did nothing about Boeing's merger with McDonnell Douglas.

But if we really want to say that we can do something, there really is no idea.

The only thing that makes him feel lucky is that a few months ago, due to the aero-engine stability evaluation standards, the civil aviation industry's "we are the main" development policy was smoothly determined. Taking advantage of the establishment of an independent standard system, the above-mentioned The focus of the mainline aircraft project in Shanghai has changed from the complete introduction of the American civil aviation industry system to the digestion and absorption of technology, as well as the accumulation of experience in the assembly and manufacturing of large civil aviation aircraft.

Because of such changes, the higher authorities stopped a huge investment of nearly 10 billion, which was able to recover some losses.

Just when he was distressed about this matter, there was a knock on the door of the office.

"Come in!"

Ding Gaoheng took two deep breaths and prepared to put away the documents on the table.

It's just that this movement stopped halfway.

Of course it was his secretary who pushed the door open.

But there were two other people standing outside.

One of them is Du Yishan.

Behind him was a young man dressed inconspicuously, wearing a work uniform that seemed to be issued by the aviation industry.

Although I have never met him before, it is not difficult to guess the identity of the other party.

"It's Lao Du."

Ding Gaoheng, who recognized the person, finally showed his first smile since this afternoon, and spread out the half-received documents on the table again.

"Yeah, I guess you're just anxious to get angry in the office right now."

Du Yishan took off his cotton jacket and hung it on the hanger by the door. At the same time, he also gave up half of his body to Chang Haonan behind him:

"This is Chang Haonan, my student. The previous guide for the evaluation of the total pressure distortion of the inlet of aviation turbojet and turbofan engines, as well as the operation and certification standards for the natural ice accretion test of the aircraft, and..."

"Okay, okay, can I still not know this?"

Ding Gaoheng waved his hand, interrupting Du Yishan's spell-casting chant, and then turned his eyes to Chang Haonan.

"Comrade Xiao Chang, your name has appeared very frequently in my place during this period. I don't even need to introduce it to you, Teacher Qi, I can know it by heart!"

"Hello, Director Ding, it's an honor to meet you here."

The past six months since his rebirth have been more colorful for Chang Haonan than the previous forty years, so he has now experienced many battles and has seen a lot.

So much so that in front of the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, he had to deliberately disguise himself to look a little reserved.

Ding Gaoheng motioned for the two of them to sit on the sofa next to him, then asked his secretary to pour two glasses of water, and then started directly to the topic:

"I won't say any more polite words. I asked Old Duterte to call you here this time because I want to hear what you think about the Boeing and McDonnell Douglas matter."

Chang Haonan already knew the theme of this meeting as early as last night. Moreover, Ding Gaoheng's background also determined that he was not a person who liked to meander, so he almost did not hesitate to say that he had already organized it in his mind. Content:

"Overall, this is definitely a bad thing for us."

"The development level of my country's aviation industry, especially the civil aviation industry, is still relatively low. Although there is great market potential, in a short period of time, the civil aviation market will definitely be dominated by foreign aircraft models."

“In this case, the merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas will, on the one hand, cause us to lose a major model supplier, and on the other hand, it will make Boeing even more dominant, and may even squeeze out Airbus and completely monopolize the market. possible!"

In fact, Chang Haonan, who understands the development of later generations, certainly knows that Airbus has developed extremely rapidly after entering the 21st century and will not really be overtaken by Boeing. On the contrary, it has a tendency to overtake Boeing in the field of passenger transportation.

But at this time, he naturally had to be as alarmist as he wanted.

Sure enough, after hearing Chang Haonan's judgment, Ding Gaoheng nodded slightly:

"This is exactly what I'm worried about. If one day we can only buy passenger planes from Boeing, wouldn't it mean that we have to agree to whatever price they want?"

"But it seems that we can't do anything about this matter. After all, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas are both American companies, and the merger is a family matter..."

After hearing these words, Chang Haonan knew that it was time for him to play his role.

Ding Gaoheng obviously wanted to do something subjectively.

Just go with the flow.

Although he is not proficient in the business field, he is still clear about the general direction of the Boeing-McDonnell Douglas merger.

There is actually a lot of room for maneuver here.

So he quickly replied:

"Director Ding, it is true that they are two American companies, but this cannot be considered an American family matter."

Sure enough, Ding Gaoheng's eyes lit up.

Chang Haonan continued to strike while the iron was hot:

"We are not the only ones affected by this incident. The reaction and actions from the Europeans will definitely be greater. This time, we have allies!"
