Chapter 1085: My Heart (Part 1)

Yes, the assets owned by Tan Zhenhua are definitely an impressive figure. In China in 1986, I am afraid that no one could imagine how much tens of billions of dollars actually means and what they can buy.
If this money is deposited in the bank for a fixed period of time, just one year of interest will be enough for ordinary people to spend a few lifetimes, right?
In this room, even the most knowledgeable Zhang Zhenzhong fell into a brief period of confusion-if I had so much money, would I still toss so hard?
At this moment when everyone lost their senses, Tan Zhenhua’s voice came in a leisurely manner, as if walking through a long corridor created by time--"That was 5 years ago, in 1981, I was still in the third year of high school, my teacher, Ning Professor Guo Rongwei from the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics introduced Professor Wang Jishan from Harbin Institute of Technology to me. Our original goal was to get a portable rechargeable battery suitable for 4-rotor drones. That day, we talked about "Yun 10" and he told me , China Aviation has invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and almost exhausted the "Yun 10" project entrusted by a generation of aviation people, which is in danger."
When he said this, he looked around. At least half of the people sitting in this conference room had experienced that tormenting time. Their faces were quiet and solemn, and their expressions were thoughtful.
"At that time, I was thinking, there must be some way to continue, even if we don't engage in "Yun X" for the time being, even if we can only build a smaller plane first, but China cannot do without its own passenger plane.
"Later I went to Xiangjiang, together with Yu Pengxia and Guo Zhaode, established the "Red Flag Fund", met Grandpa Shao Yifu, and joined the "Xiangjiang Yonggang Association". Our "Red Flag Fund" grasped the pound that year. I made some money due to the violent volatility of the market, so I thought, maybe I could do this. So, I met with Master Ma Fengshan through my teacher Guo and asked him for a promise. 1982."
Ma Fengshan recalled his first meeting with Tan Zhenhua, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He still remembered that when this young man was taken by Guo Rongwei to the door for the first time, he just regarded him as a studious. The child told him about the process of China’s several attempts to introduce the manufacturing technology of large passenger planes, including "Yun Ten", "MD-82", "BAC", and the process of developing "Yun Ten" The difficulties encountered in, talked about the helplessness of accommodating backward manufacturing techniques, and made that promise half-trusted...
"Master Ma told me that to build a big airplane, it needs money, and it takes a lot of money. I also had a little money at the time, but I knew that it was not enough, not enough, so I tried to persuade Xiangjiang "Yong" Several elderly people from the
Hong Kong Club
fooled them into not only setting up an airline, but also spending a large sum of money to invest, and finally launched the
BAC
introduction project. It was also at that time that I got to know the demons of the time. Secretary Lu of the Capital Factory and Director Wang of the Xifei Factory. Director Wang also got me so drunk and almost couldn't get up the next day."
Everyone laughed attentively, while Lu Guangjie and Wang Qingping looked at each other. They both saw the complacency in each other's eyes and the smile on the corners of their lips - they all remembered the intrigue in Xijing The meeting, and the results that followed.
"It was also during that meeting that I made a new promise to Secretary Lu and Chief Ma, and I promised them that in the future, a new large aircraft will be launched, one that is more advanced and more advanced than the "Yun X". Adapted to the aviation market, a truly large aircraft with four engines, a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, and a carrying capacity of more than 300 passengers. I still remember this promise very clearly to this day."
The smiles at the corners of Lu Guangjie, Wang Qingping and Ma Fengshan's mouth disappeared, and the expressions on their faces gradually became serious.
"Later, I visited the Magic City Aircraft Manufacturing Plant together with the elders from Xiangjiang. That was the first time I saw "Yun Shi" with my own eyes. I still remember that Master Ma pointed to it and said to me:" That is really a beautiful plane. "It was also on that day. Grandpa Li Shuxiong, the oldest veteran of the "Yonggang Club" and the pioneer of our China aviation industry, Li Ruyan's brother, said to me: "Our China has always inherited the most, and this is our culture. Basically, so, it’s okay. What you want to do, just let it go. When you succeed, if I am no longer there, if our old men are gone, remember to come to our grave, don’t You kowtow and don’t want your incense, as long as you tell us each of the things you have done."-But do you know? Just now, before the meeting started, I received a call from Grandpa Shao He told me that Grandpa Li suddenly became seriously ill last night and fell into a deep coma. The doctor said that the situation was very bad. His old man’s time may be running out, but I haven’t allowed him to sit on our Huaxia and really design and manufacture by ourselves. s plane!"
Having said this, Tan Zhenhua's tone couldn't help being a little excited, and even his voice was choked. Lu Guangjie stood up, walked to him, took out his handkerchief and handed it to him, patted him on the shoulder at the same time, and whispered. Comforting him: "Zhenhua, we all know what you have done, and we all remember that Senior Li must have seen it too. He must be proud of you, a fellow countryman, and he will definitely get better."
Tan Zhenhua took the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions. Then he said: "That year, we started the "BAC" project, but The ministry was still negotiating with McDonnell Douglas to introduce the "MD-82" model, so all our actions were sneaky-you must want to ask, why I dislike McDonnell Douglas and the "MD-82" so much. For this project, I can answer this question today: that’s because I know that the Americans just want to use this model to open the China market. They never want to, and it is impossible to teach us how to develop and produce an aircraft that conforms to international standards. Airliner, in this world, no one would be willing to cultivate a strong competitor. If we chose to cooperate with McDonnell Douglas at the beginning, then we would have to wait for many, many years to realize our dream of developing and producing large airliners by ourselves. !"
When he said this, Zhang Zhenzhong couldn't sit still. He stood up, bowed deeply at everyone in the room, and said with a look of unease: "Sorry, although McDonnell Douglas no longer exists, But as the person in charge of this project at the time, I must admit that using the "MD-82" joint production project to stifle the motivation and ability of China's self-developed passenger aircraft was indeed one of McDonnell Douglas' goals at the time. I am very sorry for this. ."
After he said this, the meeting room fell into a strange silence.
