Chapter 158 Ceausescu's Corner
"1.5 billion US dollars." Liang Yuan repeated in a low voice.
Although Liang Yuan knew the mpc75 project well, he only remembered important nodes and grasped the general direction. For example, mpc75 will abandon the original slurry fan engine and switch it back to the jet turbofan engine. Before seeing the detailed development plan, Liang Yuan was not sure about the exact investment amount like Tang Wan said.
According to the current currency value of the Republic, it is 6 billion. When the RMB depreciates sharply in a few years, the entire planned investment will reach 10 billion yuan. Think about the fact that the Prime Minister's large passenger aircraft funds will have more than 10 billion yuan less. This number is still very reliable.
The cumulative investment of the McDonnell 82 and its subsequent McDonnell 90 projects that the Republic is currently assembled in Wusong is about the same amount, and the economic strength of the Republic in the 1980s was absolutely unable to support the development plan of two large civil passenger aircraft.
The mpc75 project is just a straw that Xifei seized when struggling to survive. Without Liang Yuan's intervention, with the conservative work style of the Republic's officialdom, billions of dollars will be invested in a newly developed passenger aircraft. No official dares to bear this risk.
By assembling the McDonnell 82 and then obtaining the technical authorization of McDonnell 90, it is much safer than developing the mpc75. What’s more important is that it was agreed that the McDonnell passenger aircraft produced in Wusong could be redeemed for the United States. The Republic is equivalent to processing of incoming materials. It can not only make money but also obtain technology. It is also a large trunk passenger aircraft. It is reliable in any aspect than the joint development of the Federal and Germany.
Unfortunately, no one knew that ten years later, the huge McDonald's company disappeared, and the Republic, which planned to ride the bike, was cheated and became a shareholder. The materials of the McDonald's passenger plane that they bought for $600 million were completely smashed into their hands and were basically in a semi-abandoned state.
What's even more tragic is that since 1985, all the efforts of the Republic on large trunk passenger planes have been put into full swing. Fifteen years are enough for middle-aged people who are young and strong to enter the age of old age.
However, after Boeing, which acquired McDonald's McDonald's series of passenger aircraft, announced that it would completely stop developing the original McDonald's series of passenger aircraft, the Republic still did not stop developing large passenger aircraft. Time entered the new century. AVIC, which led the Republic's aviation industry at that time, created the arj21 regional passenger aircraft with its strength and flew for the first time in 2008. It was still in the airworthiness evidence collection stage until Liang Yuan passed through.
For large passenger aircraft projects, a large number of technicians, a large amount of funds, and a large amount of time, these three are just prerequisites. What is more important is that after the passenger aircraft is developed, market recognition determines the lifeline. With Boeing's strength in the passenger aircraft field, similar to the Sonic Cruiser or the 737600, such aircraft that are not bought by the market will still die or have poor performance.
After all, the market's temper is so difficult to understand and the future is so difficult to grasp. Even cutting-edge marketing experts and top industrial groups still cannot guarantee that their products will be recognized by the market. If they really rely on technological advancement and negation of the win or loss, McDonald will not decline at all. In the future, the king of regional passenger aircraft in Canada and Brazilian Industrial Company will have no chance of rising.
"Jia Jia, take out the stack of newspapers in your backpack." Liang Yuan said to Ning Wanjia, who was deliberately far away from him.
When he went out with two loli, Liang Yuan had always been empty-handed and threw anything mixed in his backpacks of the two little girls.
"Well, Xiaoyuan, did you bring those from Shengjing?" Ning Wanjia stood up and asked with her black eyes.
Looking at Liang Yuan nodding, the little girl went to the wardrobe in the outer room to get a stack of English newspapers back.
Liang Yuan took the newspaper and flipped through a few pictures, then handed them to Qilianshan on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Lao Qi, see if you have made any progress in English recently, where you can translate the pen to circle."
"It's too difficult to understand. I hope Young Master Yuan should not be too professional." Qilianshan took the newspaper with a smile.
"Reuters, December 28, Romanian Industry Minister Iliescu declared that after nearly two decades of hard construction, the Romanian aviation industry has achieved significant success and will soon sell Romanian-made aircraft production lines to foreign countries."
"Lao Qi, please read a few more pictures." Liang Yuan said.
"The Times, on December 28, Romania claimed to have obtained orders for aircraft production lines abroad. It seems that after fifteen years of hard work, Romania has fully mastered the production technology of baceleven large passenger aircraft introduced from the UK..."
Qilianshan looked through several newspapers in a row and found that the news that was trapped by the pen was similar. Thinking of Liang Yuan’s conversation with Tang Wan and others just now, Qilianshan’s face became more and more surprised. Finally, he couldn’t help asking: “Mr. Yuan, can’t this buyer be you, right?”
"Xiaoyuan, you don't really want to go to Romania to buy a plane assembly line. They also imported H-5 from West Flight. Where could there be any aircraft production line? Which bastard provides you with the news, tell Uncle Ning quickly." Ning Lei said with concern.
Tang Wan was so confident that the old god was watching Liang Yuan explain.
"Uncle Ning, this matter really has nothing to do with outsiders. The origin of the matter was the Romanian Planning and Economic Commission, who found Liu Wenyue in East Germany." Liang Yuan smiled and waved his hand, quickly whitewashing Liu Wenyue.
With the prosperity of the Democratic Germany United Supermarket, it has effectively alleviated the dissatisfaction accumulated in Democratic Germany society. Although the prices of the latest electronic products are scaryly high and often out of stock, there are all kinds of things in ordinary food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Although every time I shop at the United Shopping Center, for East German people who had to wait for several days or even months to buy goods, it was already paradise to buy what they needed in a short period of time.
Faced with the obvious easing of domestic contradictions, Democratic Germany awarded a series of honors to East Germany Yuanjia. Similar to the demonstration unit of the Ministry of Commerce of the Democratic Republic of Germany, East Germany Yuanjia has received several pieces. Together with Liu Wenyue, the current general manager of Yuanjia, they have been awarded the second-highest medal in East Germany to commend foreigners Karl Marx Silver Medal.
Under the demonstration of democratic Germany, not only the Soviet Union, but also Romania and Yugoslavia sent relevant personnel to visit Yuanjia, East Germany, and invited Yuanjia Company to invest in the country and build shopping malls or shopping centers.
After receiving Liu Wenyue's work report, Liang Yuan originally planned to drag it out first, and it was over until the end of 1989. However, since Tang Wan proposed to inject capital or manage United Airlines, which prompted Liang Yuan to decide to enter the aviation industry with all his might, Romania has been taken seriously by Liang Yuan.
For Liang Yuan, entering the aviation industry in the 1980s was really a tall building. He didn't want anything. Judging from the Soviet Union's level in the 1950s, it was also very miserable. He combined the full efforts of the Republic's aviation industry and only established a large passenger aircraft assembly line in Wusong with the level of the early 1980s.
Therefore, even if you rely on domestic factories, Liang Yuan still has to introduce equipment in large quantities from abroad. Instead of being mixed together, he is dragged down by the various problems of large state-owned enterprises. It is better to build a factory independently. Therefore, after Liang Yuan read most of the public information of the international aviation industry, he developed a strong interest in Romania's baceleven large passenger aircraft production line introduced by British Aerospace in the late 1970s.
The baceleven passenger aircraft was developed by British Aerospace in the mid-1960s. Its maximum take-off weight is close to 50 tons and carries 119 passengers. Its subsequent latest model, the 500 series, was developed until the late 1970s, and the Boeing 737 and McDonnell 80 series, belonged to the same era competitors.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Ceausescu, who confirmed his leadership in Romania, proposed that through high speed and high accumulation, it was necessary to use more than 30% of national income as a development fund to develop the national economy with high indicators. At the end of the 20th century, Romania was built into a comprehensive socialist country and opened the grand goal of moving towards the door to communism.
In order to achieve this grand goal, Romania's domestic resources quickly concentrated in heavy industry. Because Romania led by Ceausescu, publicly opposed the revisionist diplomatic propositions such as limited sovereignty proposed by the Soviet Union, it gained great favor in the Western world. With convenient conditions, Romania borrowed tens of billions of dollars in debt, imported a large amount of machinery and equipment from Western countries, and focused on developing aviation, chemical, petroleum and other industries in China, successfully became a bridge of economic exchanges that communicated the eastern and western camps of the Cold War.
Based on this, Romania gained a golden period of ten years. At that time, the Republic had very close exchanges with Romania. Before the restructuring of the Republic, it was a rare opportunity to work and visit Romania and Democratic Germany.
After entering the 1980s, as the world economic situation entered a downward channel, Romania also fell into an economic downturn. However, for the Romanian people, Ceausescu, whose desire for dictatorship was getting stronger, was indeed stronger.
The long-term holding of power led to Ceausescu's rapid self-inflation. Not only did he bring his wife and children into the Romanian Party Central Committee in politics, but he also ignored the current situation in Romania economically and developed a great leap forward policy similar to the Republic's yield per mu. Under the storm of exaggeration and lies, the ordinary Romanian people in the late 1980s had already fallen into a state of unsustainability, which was much more miserable than that of Democratic Germany.
No matter how Romania is decorated, it is impossible to hide Liang Yuan, who has lived a life again. In order to prove the justice attributes of the Eastern European Spring, almost everything that happened to Eastern European countries and the Soviet Union during this period was examined by a magnifying glass. At least in the future, there will be many scholars in the system that republics make a living by relying on this in the future.
Thinking of this national leader who is about to be shot and Romania, whose international influence has declined since then, Liang Yuan certainly doesn't mind digging Ceausescu's corner. In Liang Yuan's opinion, the Soviet Union can leave no legacy for itself in civil aircraft. No matter how cheap the 154 is, the production line is still a technology that cannot be sold without airworthiness certification. How can Liang Yuan touch? Looking at the entire Warsaw Pact Group, only Romania has a complete set of Western aircraft production lines, which is crucial for Liang Yuan to be qualified to participate in international competition and cooperation in the future.
"Since Romania invites us to open a shopping mall, as a member of the socialist family, the company is of course very interested. However, according to our practice of opening a store in Democratic Germany, Liu Wenyue proposed to trade goods first, similar to the 25S undercarriage and 243 electric locomotive transactions in Democratic Germany at the time."
"As a result, Lao Liu and Romania discussed it many times and found that we might use only the aircraft production line. Then, this news came out." Liang Yuan said with a smile.
Tang Wan saw Liang Yuan laughing so hard that it knew that things were not that simple. With Romania's industrial level, how could it be possible to export large passenger aircraft production lines?
For a red child like Tang Wan, the inside story of the movements since the founding of the Republic has long been familiar with, and some bullshit things within the system are even more familiar with. He can guess Liang Yuan’s tricks with a slight concentration.
"Xiaoyuan, you want to put the original British production line in the pot. You little bastard are so brave."
