Resource Tycoon Reborn

However, the honeymoon period of cooperation between the two countries did not last long. After entering 2006, as the price of oil continued to rise in the international market, Russia's economic situation continued to improve, and the military-industrial cooperation ship between China and Russia also had a tendency to capsize.

Russia no longer actively obtains economic benefits through the export of high-end weapons or technology transfer, and its control over the export of high-tech and new equipment has become increasingly stringent. In its military technology transfer policy towards China, it also clearly requires that its equipment be "at least as good as China's"

We must maintain our military and technological advantages for about fifteen years”!

This makes China, which is not satisfied with high-end military equipment being controlled by Russia, hopes to develop its own industrial enterprises on its own, and is more willing to import military technology. It can be said that the positions of the two countries are no longer in the same camp. China has to turn to independence.

other countries in the Commonwealth in order to seek to acquire those advanced technologies. In this process, Russia has also been the bad guy who disrupted the situation. If it were not for the Western countries led by the United States, they have always been aggressive, hostile and suppressive to both countries.

attitude, I am afraid that the relationship between Russia and China will become tense first. However, the constant military pressure from NATO and Japan has made the leaders of both countries realize that if a violent conflict breaks out between the two countries, it will only

This gave European and American countries, led by the United States, an opportunity to take advantage of them, but they were defeated one by one. Therefore, the two countries still maintain a relatively good relationship. In the face of pressure from the United States, the two sides will continue to support each other. However,

The military cooperation between the two countries has been cooling down, and China's share of Russia's arms exports has also been declining year after year. This is an indisputable fact. This is also the reason why China has shifted its military procurement targets to other countries in the CIS.

Regarding this matter, Fang Mingyuan also talked with the old Belevsky in private, and the old Belevsky also expressed his helplessness. At that time, Russia had to sell its high-end weapons technology to China. In fact, there was also a considerable domestic demand.

Many Russians believe that it is extremely stupid to use their own weapons to equip a neighboring country, which is still a big country and a nuclear power, with their own weapons. China's population is ten times greater than Russia's, and its economy is better than Russia's. In the future

They may have undue thoughts about Russia's territorial ownership in Asia, so according to the Chinese, this is the legacy of raising tigers!

But the Russians had no choice at the time. It was impossible for European and American countries to purchase Russian weapons on a large scale. Even if the other party purchased them, Russia could not sell them. India's arms purchases at that time had reached the limit of its national power, and the purchases by other countries were not on a large scale at all.

It can neither stimulate the production and development of Russia's military industry nor bring enough foreign exchange income to Russia. Only China has the ability to digest Russian weapons on a large scale and can also pay huge amounts of foreign exchange. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

In order to eat and survive, polar bears have no choice but to give up their "bear paws"!

There was no choice at the time, but later, with the improvement of the economy, the foreign exchange reserves in the national treasury exceeded 300 billion US dollars, and the GDP ranking returned to the top of the world. The Russians thought they had the confidence to make a choice, plus they were already interested in

Those Russians who are hostile to China believe that China is highly dependent on Russia's arms supply, and due to the arms embargo by Western countries, China has no choice in the global arms market. It has no choice but to engage in military cooperation with Russia.

Cooperation in the field of technology, so from a long-term perspective, Russia should strictly control the transfer of high-precision technology to China. This view occupies the mainstream in Russian politics, so even those Russians who do not agree with this view

People can't change the fact that the military and technical cooperation between Russia and China has begun to cool down... But now, the Russians have deeply realized what it means to be in a pressing situation!

"If there is no military industry enterprise, can it be established? These enterprises under the Fang family did not exist at the beginning." Old Belevsky said with a smile, "Didn't you manage them into world-renowned enterprises? Especially Qin

West Aviation Manufacturing Group Company, many people in our civil aviation manufacturing industry regard you as an idol. There is a strong voice in the industry that our two countries can join forces to cooperate, like Airbus, to enter the civil aviation large aircraft

market!"

As the md90 passenger aircraft produced by Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group gradually enters the CIS countries including Russia, more and more Russians appreciate the performance and comfort of the md90 passenger aircraft after taking them. After all, nowadays

In the civil aviation in Russia, in addition to domestically produced civil passenger aircraft, most of them are second-hand Boeing and Airbus aircraft purchased from overseas. However, the md90 passenger aircraft is brand new, so in terms of performance, safety and comfort

They both have a lot of advantages in terms of speed. And as the production capacity of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Co., Ltd. is getting larger and larger, it has also made great progress in after-sales service and spare parts supply. Moreover, the two countries are originally neighboring countries. What is the difference?

It is very convenient whether Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group sends engineers or flies the problematic passenger plane back to Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group.

Although the civil aviation manufacturing industry of the former Soviet Union is not as good as Boeing and Airbus, it is, after all, the only country other than these two companies that can independently manufacture large civilian passenger aircraft. However, due to political factors, Soviet passenger aircraft were only available in the past.

It can be sold to Warsaw Pact countries, countries with good relations with the Soviet Union, third world countries, and the aviation market of developed countries in Europe and the United States, then there is no need to think about it. However, due to the comfort, fuel economy, and backward electronic systems of Soviet aircraft later,

Imperfect after-sales service and many other aspects have been completely ruined by Boeing and Airbus. More and more countries have withdrawn from purchasing Soviet passenger aircraft, including China.

Those Russians who have experienced the glory of the former Soviet Union's aviation manufacturing industry are naturally unwilling to accept its decline, especially now, even in Russia's own domestic aviation market, among the mainline aircraft, Boeing passenger aircraft and Airbus passenger aircraft account for

The ratio is close to four-fifths, which is considered a shame by many people. However, the civil aviation passenger aircraft manufacturing companies in Russia are already dying. Not to mention the development of new passenger aircraft, even the construction of existing models.

It's hard to guarantee.

"Use our funds and your country's technology?" Fang Mingyuan put his hand on his forehead and said helplessly, "From the end of the last century to the beginning of the 2000s, we have repeatedly proposed that the two sides jointly develop large aircraft.

Are they all rejected by your country?" Russia's aircraft manufacturing technology also has its own uniqueness. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Soviet aircraft to dominate the world with Boeing and Airbus. But the problem is that Soviet passenger aircraft

At the end of the former Soviet Union, its performance and technical level had lagged behind Boeing and Airbus. After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, although Russia inherited most of the legacy, its investment in civilian passenger aircraft manufacturing was too little.

As a result, Russia's civilian passenger aircraft manufacturing industry has made no substantial progress in the past ten years!

"Isn't there an old saying in your country, which is called this time, that time?" Old Belevsky said, "This time, our government has made a big decision to merge many civil aviation aircraft manufacturing enterprises in the country into a civil aviation company.

The aviation group company will provide all the technical data to cooperate with your country and jointly promote the research and development of new large passenger aircraft!"

"Are you planning to improve production on the basis of the Russian-made IL-96 passenger aircraft?" Fang Mingyuan sighed. The old Belevsky looked at Fang Mingyuan with some surprise. He and Fang Mingyuan were already familiar with each other, so naturally they felt

When he came out, Fang Mingyuan was not in high spirits, and seemed to be a little helpless.

"Ah...yes, the Ilyushin-96 passenger plane is our country's latest large passenger plane. Now, the President's plane is the Ilyushin-96 passenger plane." Old Belevsky said.

"The Il-96 passenger aircraft is indeed the latest and most advanced large passenger aircraft in Russia, but looking at the world, I believe you know better than me what the competitiveness of the Il-96 passenger aircraft is like! If we talk about the Il-96 passenger aircraft

If the Type 96 passenger plane is really so outstanding, why don’t the airlines in your country choose it, but would rather purchase second-hand passenger planes from Boeing and Airbus?" Fang Mingyuan asked. He did not deny that in IL-

When the Type 96 passenger aircraft first came out and rolled off the production line, it was a good passenger aircraft. However, it has been fifteen years since the IL-96 passenger aircraft was officially put into commercial operation in 1993.

The company and Airbus have already developed new passenger aircraft. The Il-96 passenger aircraft was already backward. Now, the gap between it and Boeing and Airbus is even wider.

Over the years, although the Russian companies that manufacture the Il-96 passenger aircraft have continued to improve the technology of the Il-96 passenger aircraft, if you think about Russia's financial difficulties at the time, you can also know how much manpower and manpower the company can devote.

The Il-96 passenger aircraft has no material resources to carry out technical upgrades. It has even been lost in the domestic aviation market. I am afraid it will be difficult to even feed the entire factory's employees.

"As for the IL-96 passenger plane that the President chooses as his plane, I can only say that he has no choice." Fang Mingyuan shrugged. He would rather choose a product from Boeing or Airbus. Once he can

Are you relieved? Secondly, Russia is definitely not doing it either. Just like himself, if Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group had not participated in the manufacturing of business jets, otherwise, when he travels, he will definitely give priority to using Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group

Products of West Aviation Manufacturing Group.

Moreover, today's Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group can be said to have embarked on a good development path. It is also actively striving to integrate domestic civil aviation companies and lay the foundation for building China's own large aircraft in the future. If at this time

, the Russian side intervened, and if the thoughts above were wavered, there would be many variables in the research and development of domestically produced large aircraft! Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart, but he couldn't stop this matter.

It can be said that the soldiers will come to stop it, and the water will come to the soil. If the Russians don't come up with real materials, this matter will be vetoed by Ya!

"But if you are willing to take out the production technology of the ps-90a turbofan engine and put it into the cooperation project, I can consider it." Fang Mingyuan said. The ps-90a turbofan engine is used in the Russian IL-96 passenger aircraft.

Compared with the products of other well-known engine manufacturing companies in the world, the performance of the Il-76 military transport aircraft and the Tu-154 passenger aircraft has some advantages and disadvantages. Fang Mingyuan does not remember the specific data, but he knows that the ps-90a turbofan

The engine production technology is still at the leading level for today's Chinese aero-engine industry, and it is far ahead! Moreover, Fang Mingyuan has always believed that the performance is not as good as that of similar products in European and American countries, but the performance is not the same.

There are no inferior products. In that case, there is no way to compare!

If we can solve the engine problem of domestically produced large aircraft in the future and avoid being choked by Russia and Western countries in the future, then it is worth paying more, and if Russia does not come up with the production and manufacturing technology of at least one decent aero engine

If that means, then this cooperation, Fang Mingyuan still thinks, it’s okay not to do it!

"This... I don't know. The specific situation will have to be negotiated and determined by sending people from both sides in the future." Old Belevsky spread his hands and said, "I am just an envoy responsible for conveying the intention of cooperation. For these specific matters

If you have any questions, professionals will naturally come to negotiate with you."

"Then please tell us that if you want to cooperate on large aircraft, the prerequisite is that you bring out the production technology of the ps-90a turbofan engine and include it in the cooperation. Only then can we consider whether it is necessary for both parties.

Jointly develop large aircraft." Fang Mingyuan said seriously, "If you don't have even this bit of sincerity, then I think you have no sincerity in cooperating on large aircraft research and development."

"I will convey your words to His Excellency the President. As for the result, I have nothing to do!" Old Belevsky nodded, took out a folder and handed it to Fang Mingyuan and said, "This is what we have listed You can give priority to the projects that are about to be sold and that you hope to cooperate with. By the way, there is one more thing. His Excellency the President specifically mentioned that he hopes that Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Co., Ltd.'s joint venture plant in my country can acquire Izhevsk in my country. Automobile manufacturing plant to prevent the Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant from going bankrupt, which would cause at least tens of thousands of Russian families to lose their source of income!"

"Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant can't sustain it? Isn't it losing five to six million US dollars every month? I remember that last year it sold 240,000 cars. What is this loss?" Fang Mingyuan

He asked with a puzzled look on his face. (To be continued.)
