"Oh?"
Miles was surprised to see Zhuang Jianye, who was wearing a woollen coat and looked a little tired not far away. FOSS said with a smile: "miles, I'd like to introduce you to Zhuang, the CEO of Tengfei airlines, a very capable person."
Then he looked at Zhuang Jianye: "Edmond Myers, an aviation engineer in the technical R & D Department of McDonnell Douglas company, is one of the main designers of kc-10 tanker and MD-11 airliner. By the way, Myers is also the technical consultant for the reconstruction project of MD-82 aircraft assembly plant in Shanghai Stock Exchange."
"Ah, Mr. Myers, thank you for your contribution to the domestic aviation industry. Our leaders often say that MD-82 aircraft assembly project is the benchmark of domestic aviation development and the epitome of Sino US friendship. On behalf of all cadres and staff of Tengfei airlines, I would like to thank you for your selfless dedication."
Before Forsyth's words were over, Zhuang Jianye rushed over and grabbed Miles's hand. He was so excited that he seemed to see his relatives whom he hadn't seen for many years. He said it incoherently, with both sound and action.
FOSS was not surprised at all. Obviously, in the past few hours, the sales director of McDonnell Douglas has long been immune to a series of exaggerated flatteries and praises from Zhuang Jianye.
Myers is also immune, because when he was in Shanghai stock market, not to mention the person in charge of the enterprise was the leader of a higher level Ministry. When he saw him, they were all polite, and even some beautiful female leaders would go to bed intentionally or unintentionally, just to bring them to the United States and realize the so-called long cherished wish of "studying abroad".
Myers is not a gentleman, plus you love me, Myers does not care, so when he worked as a consultant in Shanghai Stock Exchange, he helped many young comrades realize their "dream of studying abroad".
Because of this, his enthusiasm for Zhuang Jianye and his official praise were not unexpected, but normal. So he shook hands with Zhuang Jianye flatly: "Hello, Mr. Zhuang."
At this time, Beckman brought out a few cups of coffee from the kitchen behind the airport, and FOSS called Hugh wood. Several people sat down in the deluxe cabin, and miles took a sip of coffee. Then he continued: "FOSS said that Mr. Zhuang's next words would surprise me?"
"Mr. forth is wrong. Mr. forth is wrong."
Zhuang Jianye waved his hand repeatedly, his face mixed with a little fear of joy, just like the scum praised by the teacher, even smiling carefully, but this look fell into the eyes of miles and FOSS and others, but felt normal.
McDonnell Douglas is a giant in the world. It's enough to make the little-known Tengfei Airlines participate in the maintenance of the world-class DC-10. Therefore, Zhuang Jianye's performance is very normal. Therefore, FOSS laughs and pretends to be modest and says, "Mr. Zhuang is welcome. We Americans are the most concerned about facts and justice, and Mr. Myers is the one in this respect Paragon, your D-25 is really good, so don't worry about it. Believe in your unparalleled ability. You should know that the confident people in the world are the most fearless. "
This dose of poisonous chicken soup almost didn't confuse Zhuang Jianye. He said, "well, do you really think you've never seen the world?"? If you don't have your own aviation engineers here, you have to deal with it carefully. Believe it or not, I'm going to make you all wear out.
Zhuang Jianye was full of anxiety, but his face was open-minded. Then he sat up straight, as if reporting to the leader, and solemnly said to miles: "well, Mr. miles, when installing APU, Mr. FOSS told me that the cracked rudder and the damaged right rudder surface of horizontal tail are made of composite materials Yes... "
"Do you have the capacity to produce these two types of composites?" Before Zhuang finished speaking, miles opened his eyes and leaned forward slightly.
To tell you the truth, he was really surprised. If China really mastered honeycomb structure and graphite reinforced aluminum matrix composites, he would have to reassess China's entire Aerospace capability. Even if the MD-82 and the MD-90 in the second stage were to be put in China, he would have a big question mark.
After all, McDonnell Douglas only wants China to be their OEM, not to set up a strong competitor like Airbus in Europe.
"No No... "
Zhuang Jianye quickly waved his hand, as if frightened by miles, and explained: "we may have such advanced materials. A few years ago, we did organize research for a certain type of missile, made samples, and formulated our factory for processing, so our factory has the processing capacity of aluminum honeycomb materials and some metal base materials.
It's a pity that the strength of the materials failed to meet the requirements, and the missiles got off the horse, so our equipment was abandoned. We had no choice but to make some APU and EPU from a new stove. As a result, the sales volume could not go up. We had to go to the leaders of the parts to see if there were any new missile projects. On the other hand, we tried our best to find a market ourselves... "
What Zhuang Jianye said was that he had both voice and action and tears in his eyes. It was just right to compromise the grievance, injustice and stubbornness of the person in charge of an enterprise who was seeking a reversal in a difficult situation to several senior officials of McDonnell Douglas.Although several senior executives didn't believe it all, no one really doubted it. During this period, FOSS also came to miles' ear and told him where he got the news from Liszt, which generally means that Zhuang Jianye had been to Japan a few years ago and participated in the bidding of composite materials.
Miles quickly made an assessment, and immediately looked at Zhuang Jianye with different eyes. There was a kind of eagerness to see the treasure, and a kind of care. But in the deepest part of his eyes, he was eager to swallow each other's poison.
FOSS glanced at miles' change of expression, gave a smile, took a sip of coffee, and then pretended to ask casually, "what about your processing equipment?"
"There is no way to compare with developed countries such as the United States, but it can still be done in China. Our chemical milling can achieve the complex processing of 0.05mm thin plate; so can EDM, including water cutting and laser cutting. I don't believe you can see our D-25. Without these finishing technologies, we can't make such equipment as D-25. It's a pity that our APU The market of EPU is really poor. I'm going to upgrade it to see if I can simplify the process and make a smaller one-time turbojet or turbofan engine for missiles... "
I don't know why Myers's eyelids jump when he hears the word missile, but Zhuang Jianye seems to be particularly addicted to it. He talks about their advantages in this aspect, and even says that when the DC-10 maintenance task is finished, he goes to the capital to report the matter to the military leaders, because he is already interested in the Navy.
After hearing this, miles couldn't hold his hand. He turned his head and looked at FOSS next to him. When he saw that he nodded a little, his heart immediately calmed down. Without waiting for Zhuang Jianye to finish his words, he began to ask: "Mr. Zhuang, have you ever thought of joining your company in the supply chain of McDonnell Douglas and becoming a supplier of McDonnell Douglas?"
