Miles looked in surprise at Zhuang Jianye, who was not far away wearing a woolen coat and looking a little tired. Fox quickly introduced with a smile: "Miles, let me introduce to you, Zhuang, the CEO of Ascendas Airlines, he is very capable. of a person.¡±
Then he looked at Zhuang Jianye: "Eamond Myers, an aerospace engineer at the McDonnell Douglas Technology R&D Department, one of the main designers of the KC-10 tanker and the MD-11 passenger aircraft. By the way, Myers is also Technical consultant for the Shanghai md-82 aircraft assembly plant reconstruction project."
"Oh, Mr. Miles, thank you for your contribution to the domestic aviation industry. Our leaders often say that the md-82 aircraft assembly project is a benchmark for domestic aviation development and the epitome of Sino-US friendship. On behalf of everyone at Ascendas Aviation Corporation Cadres and employees thank you for your selfless dedication."
Before Fox finished speaking, Zhuang Jianye rushed over enthusiastically and grabbed Miles' hand. He was so excited that he felt as if he was seeing a relative he hadn't seen for many years. His words were incoherent and his actions were mixed.
Fox, however, was not surprised at all by this. It was obvious that the McDonnell Douglas sales director had been immune to a series of exaggerated flattery and praise from Zhuang Jianye in the past few hours.
Miles was also immune, because when he was in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, not to mention the person in charge of the company, even the leaders of higher-level ministries and commissions were always polite when they saw him. Even some beautiful female leaders and female cadres would be polite to him intentionally or unintentionally. They fell into bed with each other, just to take them to the United States and realize their long-cherished dream of "study abroad".
Miles was not a gentleman, and since it was a consensual relationship, Miles didn't care anymore. So when he was a consultant in Shanghai, he actually helped many female comrades realize their "dream of studying abroad."
Because of this, he was not surprised by his enthusiasm for Zhuang Jianye and praised him in an official tone. On the contrary, he thought it was normal, so he shook hands with Zhuang Jianye calmly: "Hello, Mr. Zhuang."
At this time, Beckman brought out several cups of coffee from the small kitchen at the back of the airport. Fox called Hugh Wood, and several people sat down in the luxury stateroom. Miles took a sip of coffee before continuing: "Fosse Si said, Mr. Zhuang¡¯s next words will scare me?¡±
"Mr. Foss is outrageous. Mr. Foss is outrageous."
Zhuang Jianye waved his hands repeatedly, with joy mixed with a little fear on his face. He was like a scumbag who was praised by the teacher. He even smiled carefully, but this look seemed normal to Miles, Foss and others.
McDonnell Douglas is a world giant, and allowing the little-known Ascendas Aviation Corporation to participate in world-class DC-10 maintenance is enough to give face, so Zhuang Jianye's behavior is normal, so Fox laughed and pretended to be humble: "Zhuang Jianye You're welcome, sir. We Americans are the most fact-oriented and fair, and Mr. Myers is a model in this regard. Your D-25 is really good, so don't have any worries. Believe that you are incomparable. Ability, you must know that confident people are the most fearless in this world.¡±
After drinking this dose of poisonous chicken soup, Zhuang Jianye almost became confused. He thought to himself, do you really think of yourself as a 250-year-old who has never seen the world? If you didn't have your own aeronautical engineers here who had to deal with it carefully, believe it or not, I would have stripped all your pants.
Zhuang Jianye complained in his heart, but his face showed an open-minded look. Then he sat up straight, as if reporting to the leader, and said to Miles solemnly: "That's it, Mr. Miles, When I was installing the APU, Mr. Foss told me that the cracked rudder and the damaged right rudder surface of the horizontal stabilizer were both made of composite materials"
"Do you have the production capacity for these two types of composite materials?" Before Zhuang Jianye could finish his words, Myers' eyes widened immediately and his body leaned forward slightly.
To be honest, he was really shocked. If China really masters these two types of composite materials, honeycomb structure and graphite-reinforced aluminum-based materials, then he would have to re-evaluate China's entire aerospace capabilities, and even those that have already been put into production There is a big question mark as to whether MD-82 and the second-stage MD-90 will be placed in China.
After all, McDonnell Douglas only hopes that China will become their OEM factory, rather than establishing a strong competitor for itself like Airbus in Europe.
"no no¡¡"
Zhuang Jianye waved his hands quickly, as if he was frightened by Miles, and explained in an awkward manner: "We may have such advanced materials, and we did organize research for a certain type of missile a few years ago, and also made samples, and Our factory is designated for processing, so our factory has the processing capabilities of aluminum core honeycomb materials and some metal-based materials.
"It's a pity that the strength of the materials was not good enough and the missiles were discontinued. Our equipment was suddenly abandoned. We had no choice but to?I started anew and made some APU and EPU, but the sales volume never increased. I had to go to the department leaders to see if there were any new missile projects, and on the other hand, I worked hard to find sales"
Zhuang Jianye¡¯s words were so eloquent that he brought tears to his eyes. He perfectly captured the grievances, unfairness, and stubbornness of a company leader who was seeking a turnaround in a difficult situation, and finally compromised with the senior McDonnell Douglas officials present here.
Although several purchasing executives didn't believe everything, no one really doubted it. During this period, Fox even leaned into Myers's ear and told him where he got the news from Liszt, which generally meant that Zhuang Jianye had said something about Zhuang Jianye earlier. I went to Japan last year and participated in the bidding of composite materials.
Miles made a quick assessment, and immediately looked at Zhuang Jianye with a different look. There was an eagerness to see the treasure, and a bit of caring kindness, but in the deepest part of his eyes, he wanted to devour the other person in one bite. sinister.
Fox glanced at the change in Miles's expression, smiled slightly, took a sip of coffee, and then pretended to ask casually: "How about your processing equipment?"
"It is incomparable with developed countries such as the United States, but it is still possible in China. Our chemical milling can do complex processing of 0.05mm thin plates; the same is true for electric discharge machining, as well as water cutting and laser cutting. Don't believe it. You can take a look at our D-25. Without these finishing technologies, we would not be able to make equipment like the D-25. Unfortunately, the sales of our APU and EPU are really poor. We are planning to upgrade it and see if we can simplify the process. , to make a smaller disposable turbojet or turbofan engine for use on missiles"
For some reason, Miles' eyelids twitched when he heard the word missile, and Zhuang Jianye seemed to be particularly addicted to it. He talked about their advantages in this area and even expressed his sincere words that he would wait until the DC-10 maintenance task is completed. , went to the capital to report the matter to the military leaders, because the navy was already interested.
After hearing this, Miles finally lost control of his unyielding expression. He turned his head and glanced at Foss next to him. When he saw the other person nodded slightly, he felt calm. Immediately, before Zhuang Jianye finished speaking, he started to explore. Asked: "Mr. Zhuang, have you ever thought about adding your company to McDonnell Douglas's supply chain and becoming a supplier of McDonnell Douglas?"
