Chapter 784 The French are out of luck

After the basic response ideas were determined, the development work on the boil-off gas reliquefaction technology also began.

Naturally, those responsible for this task are Lei Zhixing and Liu Fangping.

This is also a relatively common way of running a large research group——

As the big boss, Chang Haonan only provides basic ideas, as well as some key technologies and resources for non-core projects, while other researchers who are more familiar with the situation are responsible for the specific implementation.

This ensures that the entire laboratory operates at a relatively high efficiency.

Otherwise, if Chang Haonan is asked to do any project himself, no matter how energetic he is, he will not be able to take care of it.

"Then Mr. Chang, after we return, we will contact the comrades in charge of docking at the Hudong factory and ask them to set up a horizontal topic, and then we will apply for it?"

Lei Zhixing asked as usual.

When he was studying for a Ph.D., he often followed Yan Yongnian in the project application process. Now that he has just changed schools, he is already familiar with it.

"can."

Chang Haonan nodded first, but then lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then continued to add:

"However, the opposite side is also a central enterprise that has just been restructured into a group for a few years. It is estimated that it will not be very efficient in this kind of spending money, and we cannot waste this time."

"In this way, I will first allocate 30,000 yuan to you from the public funds of the laboratory as project feasibility study and pre-research funds. After the project is officially declared, I will loan the money back."

He said taking out a stack of grant applications from the drawer.

There is no online fund management system these days, so you can only rely on this traditional method if you want to make money.

Chang Haonan simply wrote the amount and purpose on it, signed his name in the lower right corner, and finally tore it off and put it on the table:

"Take this and get it stamped by Secretary Liu, then submit it to the school for reporting."

It is basically unfeasible to lend funds to different projects vertically, but horizontal projects are much more relaxed in terms of review.

What's more, the investor is still Torch Group.

"This... pre-research funding?"

Lei Zhixing's pupils trembled a little when he saw Chang Haonan writing the words "30,000 yuan".

Thirty thousand yuan, in 1999, was almost equivalent to the entire cost of a small project.

According to the unspoken rule of the school, part of the money should be taken away from the geese, which is even higher than the funding of many small projects.

But now it was just a feasibility study and preliminary research, and Chang Haonan signed it happily.

He even proposed it on his own initiative.

Obviously, the depth of resources in this laboratory is unfathomable.

After the brief excitement, Lei Zhixing took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then picked up the allocation form from the table:

"Professor Chang, let's go get some work first. If nothing else happens, the specific feasibility analysis report should be available before the end of next month."

Chang Haonan didn't speak, just put the pen back into the pen holder, then nodded and motioned for the two to get busy.

Under normal circumstances, a feasibility analysis, even one that is very detailed and involves some preliminary experimental verification, does not require a particularly high cost.

Especially for the reliquefaction of boil-off gas, the main consideration is the technical route of the reliquefaction process. It is impossible to study such a complex content as the strength of the hull in the early demonstration process.

Therefore, the 30,000 yuan fund is actually relatively sufficient.

And this was Chang Haonan's deliberate move.

There is no doubt that Lei Zhixing and Liu Fangping are two people he wants to entrust with important responsibilities.

But everything must be done step by step.

Whether it is from the perspective of gradually increasing the weight and giving them enough room to adapt, or from the perspective of testing whether the two are reliable enough, it is a good choice to first let them independently preside over a feasibility demonstration process.

On the other side, Lei Zhixing, who had just walked out of the office, took out the appropriation slip and stood at the stairs and looked over it twice.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Fangping, who had already descended half a flight of stairs, turned back with doubts on his face:

"nothing."

Lei Zhixing shook his head and followed his friend's footsteps:

"I'm just thinking that we didn't choose to stay in school, but listened to Teacher Yan and came to Beijing Airlines. This step should be the right one..."

Although at the school level, Qinghua is still a much better platform than Beijing Airlines.

But for these two little lecturers, the most important thing is the laboratory they work in and the boss they work with.

No matter how many resources the school has, they will be empty if they are not allocated to individuals.

Liu Fangping usually doesn't talk much, but he definitely doesn't have an expressive disorder. He's just reluctant to speak in most cases:

"Of course, Professor Yan will not trick us. Besides, when he was working on the die forging press, he had already been in contact with Mr. Chang. He is definitely a person with a high enough level..."

……

at the same time.

Paris France.

After lunch, Serge Dassault and Charles Edelsteiner were walking on the path inside the group.

"Charlie, has the news that we are planning to cooperate with the Chinese been released?"

Dassault looked at a sycamore tree beside the road and asked suddenly.

"According to your request, the cooperation was negotiated under the name of a civilian project. Two days ago, I passed on some inside information to a New York Times reporter through my acquaintances in the media."

Ed Steiner nodded and replied——

In fact, Wen Kangjian's previous worries were justified.

Serge Dassault's wishful thinking is indeed to try to make General Electric feel some sense of crisis by releasing a signal of cooperation with China, thereby restoring the relationship between the two parties...

cough cough...

Partnership.

In fact, according to his initial plan, he only needed to have some simple written exchanges with China, and there was no need to enter formal negotiations at all.

It was also for this reason that he chose to use the loophole-filled method of a business jet cooperation project as a cover——

Because I had no intention of hiding it in the first place.

Dassault even wanted to do it in a big way and let the whole world know about it.

I just thought that it was a bit too fake to do this, so I was a little more reserved.

But it was also reported by the media as soon as the two parties started to contact each other.

"So, what is the reaction from the United States? Has it expressed its intention to continue to cooperate with Snecma?"

Dassault asked with a confident look.

But the facts have proved that the literature of spoiled wives is not necessary.

If you have no intention of actually flipping the table, don't threaten the other person by flipping the table.

After hearing his boss's question, Ed Steiner shook his head with a complex expression.

Dassault frowned upon hearing this.

But apparently he didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter:

"They refused?"

Ed Steiner shook his head again, and then spoke with a slightly bitter tone:

"In fact... so far, we have not received any feedback, and the United States seems to have directly ignored the news..."

Dassault's expression froze on his face.

"how come……"

Ed Steiner didn't answer.

The air fell silent for a moment.

Obviously, this is not a question with a possible answer.

For a moment, Serge Dassault felt that his mind was a little confused.

In his view, even if GE cannot directly change its mind, it can at least bring the other party back to the negotiating table.

Or at last, the latest F414 engine can be made available for production Rafale.

In this way, although Snecma will suffer some losses, the impact on Dassault will be minimized——

Re-matching the new engine is bound to take some time, but it will always allow the Rafale fighter jets to be delivered to the French army on time in name.

Ahead of J-10 and EF2000.

But after all calculations, he didn't expect that the other side of the Atlantic didn't even pay attention to him.

This is rather stiff.

"Monsieur Dassault."

After the awkward atmosphere lasted for a while, Ed Steiner finally said:

"In fact, in order to prevent this from happening, I specifically asked Oliver Weili to maintain contact with the Chinese side."

"So, it's probably not too late to go back and really look for the Chinese..."
