Rebirth of the Flying Era

After giving the money, Du Fei added: "If Hong Liang is willing to do so in the future, they can go out and develop."

Although it was just a light word, Li Mingfei understood that it was a promise from Du Fei. If his children go to Nanyang in the future, they can get a higher starting point and more resources.

Li Mingfei understood people well and understood what Du Fei meant. He accepted the note without refusing. The two of them talked for a few more words until Zhu Ting came out to call them.

 It’s getting late, and Zhu Min is ready to take the child back.

Du Fei and Zhu Ting walked outside the door together and watched the family of three get into the car before going back.

Zhu Min wanted to speak as soon as she got in the car, but she looked at the child and held back.

 At this age, my daughter has already learned how to speak. If she really wants to hear something, it is not good to talk nonsense outside.

 It wasn’t until I got home, put the child to sleep, and started to scold Du Fei for being heartless while lying on the bed.

Li Mingfei listened and laughed dryly and agreed. At this time, he did not dare to show any intention of speaking for Du Fei, otherwise Zhu Min would immediately make him speechless with "Do you have any ideas?"

　　Until Zhu Min had almost vented his emotions, he took out the envelope Du Fei had just given him, handed it to Zhu Min and said, "Look at this."

Zhu Min looked at the person next to the pillow in surprise, stretched out his hand to take it and asked, "What is this? Did Du Fei give it to you just now?"

Li Mingfei said: "Open it and take a look."

Zhu Min curled her lips and saw that he was being cryptic and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she took out the contents of the envelope and looked at them. She couldn't help but frown: "What is this? What is the Nanyang Royal Development Fund?"

 In fact, Zhu Min also noticed the amount above, a long string of zeros after the number one.

Li Mingfei smiled and explained the meaning of the piece of paper.

 Zhu Min couldn't help but widen her eyes. Although she was born in the Zhu family, she had also lived a hard life.

For a moment, it was hard to imagine what ten million dollars was. Normally, she and Li Mingfei both had high salaries. Plus Li Mingfei's other income, the two of them had saved about twenty thousand dollars in the past twenty years, but with Ten million US dollars is nothing compared to that.

"This... ten million! He gave it to us?" Zhu Min blinked quickly, his mind a little confused.

Li Mingfei said: "What if that's not the case? And this is not 10 million. This is the original share of the fund. If we really count it now, I estimate it will be at least twice as much."

Zhu Min’s eyes widened again. Ten million was enough, and it had to be doubled.

  In any case, their unit’s annual allocation is less than one million.

　　"Gulu", and swallowed a mouthful of spit: "Old Li, how much money do you think Du Fei has made outside these years?"

Li Mingfei laughed and said: "How much? Money is nothing. Now the entire Borneo in Southeast Asia belongs to him, and he asked Zhu Li to be the female king there."

Zhu Min was shocked. She knew little about Zhu Li and Du Fei. She only knew that the two got together secretly, but she couldn't tell exactly what happened.

When I heard this, I suddenly realized: "I said that my fourth uncle's room was gone, and there was a fuss for a long time...Tsk, tsk~" In the end, I didn't know how to describe it, I could only tsk twice.

Li Mingfei crawled under the quilt and said: "Yes! I have to say that I really didn't expect it. I watched Du Fei grow up with my own eyes. In 1965, he went to work at the street office and met Xiaoting. It has only been a few years since then. It’s such a big situation.”

 Zhu Min nodded silently, and the criticism and complaint against Du Fei in his heart also dissipated.

 It’s not that Zhu Minduo is snobbish, this is just human nature.

Since ancient times, beauties have been paired with heroes. Du Fei's ability is nothing compared to the trivial matters between men and women.

 Besides, she is not a novice Zhengzhi, and she fully understands how much benefit the Zhu family has gained because of Du Fei's existence.

To put it bluntly, if you can exchange for this with two daughters, I don’t know how many people will flock to it.

What's more, Du Fei didn't say anything to their small family. Not only did he give him US$10 million in shares, but he also promised their son.

Li Mingfei continued to sigh: "Think about it, Du Fei arranged Li Yuanchao's stay in Danbei from the beginning, otherwise the three boys from the Li family would still be messing around in the capital~ Now, they are just like princes. And Lin Tiansheng, he got it Nanyang has also made some breakthroughs. After this migration, it is completely stable. In addition, Xiaoli's kingdom...it would be unthinkable for ordinary people to leave it alone."

Zhu Min nodded subconsciously, but he sensed something was wrong. He turned sideways and said, "What, are you envious?"

Li Mingfei was stunned and immediately sneered: "What nonsense are you talking about? How old are you?"

　　Zhu Min pouted: "I think you are an old-hearted person."

 …

On the other hand, after Li Mingfei and his wife left, it took more than half an hour for Dad Zhu to get off work.

Seeing Du Fei watching TV in the living room, he was slightly surprised: "Xiao Fei is back?"

Du Fei immediately stood up from the sofa, called "Dad", and quickly walked over to help Dad Zhu take off his coat and hang it on the hanger.

Dad Zhu was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Are you waiting for me specially?"

Du Fei said hey: "I have something I want to report to you."

Dad Zhu said: "Okay, let's go to the study, make a pot of tea and talk slowly."

With that said, the two of them entered Zhu's father's study. Du Fei took the familiar route to the tea cabinet and asked, "Dad, what kind of tea are you going to drink today?"

Dad Zhu said: "Longjing, make it lighter. I won't be able to sleep for a while."

Du Fei responded, quickly brewed a pot, poured a cup for Dad Zhu, and poured some for himself.

Dad Zhu took a sip and said with a smile: "Xiao Fei, you performed very well this time. You can make decisions at critical moments and are very responsible."

Du Fei smiled and said, "It's all your words and deeds."

Dad Zhu is not modest either: "Before, some people were worried that you were young and had little experience, so you wouldn't be able to hold on at the critical moment."

Du Fei knew that given his situation, this voice must have been quite loud at the time.

 Not only because of his age and qualifications, but more importantly because of his influence in Nanyang.

If someone is sent there and the migration is completed, it will have a great impact on Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng in Nanyang.

 It is impossible for no one to be unmoved.

 But this kind of voice was finally suppressed by Zhu's father. Du Fei estimated that the Lin family must have used force in this process, but it was used in the dark.

Dad Zhu added: "After this, our situation in Nanyang will be greatly improved. No matter what Subian tries to do, he will be unable to make a difference."

 About this, Du Fei actually knows better than Zhu’s father.

 At this point, Subian has long given up on restoring the original territory, and can instead find ways to maintain the current territory.

 The last time the Yingguo fleet withdrew and news spread that Subian was going to betray Palembang, the relationship between Subian and the local Sumatra faction was very tense.

 He managed to stabilize the situation with great difficulty.

After saying this, Du Fei got to the point and put forward his plan.

Hearing the specific measures Du Fei described, Zhu’s father couldn’t help but frown: “Do you want to cooperate with America and use their technology and experts to improve our technical level in the aviation field?”

Du Fei nodded and said: "That's what I mean. Now is an opportunity. They haven't left South Vietnam yet, and they are facing the Speed ​​Alliance people in Afhan. The pressure is very high. If at this time, they can be more active with us. The interaction will be a good publicity point for them. We can take the initiative and seek help from air equipment, such as asking them to help us improve the current J-7 and J-8 fighters, so that we can better The flanks put pressure on SAM.”

Dad Zhu listened silently, drank tea slowly, and was not in a hurry to express his position.

Du Fei continued: "In addition, America has just found out about the third-generation aircraft. We still have a chance to keep up at this time. Once they succeed, it will form a technical threshold and it will be difficult for us to get in."

Dad Zhu nodded. The reason is very simple. Just like doing business, you can become a shareholder by joining during the startup stage and sharing the risks. Once everything is done, you can only join as a wage earner at best.

 Although it is very late now, it is still a rare window of time for flowers and fruits.

　　Du Fei actually said half of what he said and left half of it.

His real purpose is not to improve the J-7 and J-8. Although the foundation of those two second-generation aircraft is good, the potential for improvement is really not great. Even after improvement, they cannot really pose a threat to the third-generation aircraft.

Dufei’s real purpose is to cooperate with America to create a true third-generation mobile phone, even a low-end version or a castrated version.

 It doesn’t matter whether it’s good or not, let’s get the tickets first.

 And there is a ready target right now, which is bidding for America's next-generation light fighter project.

 Among them are General Dynamics' yf-16 and Northrop's yf-17. One of these two projects must fail after the bidding.

Dufy's target was this failed project.

In Du Fei's memory, in the world before he traveled, the winner was General Dynamics, which would be the famous F-16 in the future.

 The failed Northrop Company invested a lot of resources in this project, and of course it was not willing to waste it.

Through various operations and interest exchanges, Northrop's plan finally won the order from the American Navy.

  But there is a window period of nearly two years.

During this period, Northrop was not sure of winning naval orders, because they were not the only ones eyeing naval orders, but also Grumman's simplified version of the f-14 and General Dynamics' naval version of the f-16.

In this case, if someone is willing to pay to cooperate with them, I believe Northrop will be very happy to return the favor.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, it must be done before Northrop can get the naval order.

The time window is only a short year and a half after the F-16 bid failed.

 Once you miss it, you will completely lose this opportunity. However, Du Fei couldn't say these words. He could only wait for Zhu's father's decision.

After a long time, Dad Zhu coughed lightly: "Your idea on this matter is very good, but it is very difficult. First of all, asking the Americans to help us improve the aircraft is equivalent to exposing all our aircraft to the other side, without any It’s a secret…”

Du Fei opened his mouth to explain.

Papa Zhu raised his hand to interrupt: "I understand that there is indeed a gap between our aircraft and theirs, but we know the gap and the other party knows the gap are two different things. Just this issue will encounter huge resistance."

Du Fei nodded, knowing that Zhu's father was right, and said helplessly: "Our J-7 and J-8 are just imitations and improvements of the MiG-21. Now America already has the F14 and has opened the third In the era of first-generation fighter jets, if we don’t keep up as soon as possible, we will be separated by at least twenty years!”

This is not alarmist, but a fact.

 In the world before he traveled, Huaguo didn’t get the third-generation Su-27 aircraft from the disintegrated Da Mao family until 1993.

 It is exactly twenty years from now.

 Papa Zhu’s expression became serious and he fell into thinking for a longer time.

 Du Fei didn’t give any other reasons. He had already said what needed to be said, and this matter was not something Zhu’s father could decide. It had to be left to the collective discussion for decision.

 A few minutes later, Dad Zhu took another sip of the cold tea and asked, "How sure are you about this plan?"

Du Fei shook his head and expressed that he was not very sure: "Dad, you know America. You must be extremely careful when dealing with them, otherwise you will be easily fooled. I guess even if a cooperation is negotiated, something will happen in the middle." , we all need to be prepared. Especially after they escape from South Vietnam, their demand for us will decrease, and there will definitely be recurrences. But I think, in this matter, it is worth paying some price. As long as their experts can come , we can pry open their mouths, learn from their experiences, exercise our own skills, and even acquire some advanced technologies."

At this point, Du Fei curled up his lips slightly and chuckled: "Aren't they capitalists? Don't they all care about money? At worst, we throw money at those American experts, give them US dollars, one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand , If it doesn’t work, just one million, I’m not afraid that they won’t come up with the real thing. Even if we give them more, it’s not impossible to just keep them.”

Dad Zhu was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect Du Fei's plan.

Du Fei added: "Furthermore, the gap between us in technology is there. Even if the Americans are on guard against us, as long as they leak a little bit, it will be a rare nourishment for us. All we have to pay is some money. , if there are difficulties above, the money can be paid by our fire equipment company."

Dad Zhu curled his lips and said, "Oh, that's not a small tone!" He then thought for a moment and said, "This matter is not trivial. It must be carefully considered and see what other comrades say. I will definitely try my best, but don't expect too much. After all, it is not so easy to turn around some things, and many comrades still cannot turn around."

Du Fei responded without being too persistent.

  Anyway, he has done all he can do, and all he can do now is wait patiently.

 We occupy a more favorable position in the relationship between the two parties.

The other is Northrop's YF-17. There is no such store after passing through this village. Du Fei hopes to grasp it.

Take the opportunity to squeeze more valuable things out of America.

 Ending the conversation, Du Fei came out of Dad Zhu's study and returned upstairs.

Zhu Ting was still waiting for him. As soon as she saw him entering the house, she asked: "Is our dad back?"

Du Fei nodded and let out a long breath: "I just finished talking to our dad." Then he quickly went to wash himself and got into bed.

He stretched his neck and glanced at his sleeping son, and couldn't help but smile.

The little guy didn’t know what he was dreaming about. He was holding the lead with both hands and mumbling in his mouth.

Zhu Ting asked: "What did you tell our dad just now?" She knew that something must have happened when Du Fei came back suddenly.

Dufey briefly explained the situation, and finally sighed: "The gap between us and America is really too big."

Zhu Ting nodded. She also had a deep understanding of this. Since she came to the Foreign Education Department, she has gone to twist her waist several times.

It is indeed the most powerful place in the world at present. The richness of materials and the development of science and technology are incredible.

Du Fei grabbed her hand and said, "Don't worry, we will catch up with them soon."

Zhu Ting said "Yeah", she was very convinced of this.

However, what Du Fei didn't expect was that he had only been back for two days, and before Zhu's father responded to the letter, Director Nie called to ask why the workshop that produced the H-8 had been embezzled.

Du Fei was holding the phone in the office and he was prevaricating: "Uncle Nie, what are you talking about? Didn't you just follow the authority in a hurry before? Now that the new workshop has been built, workshop No. 2 can be returned to the H-8 immediately."

Director Nie snorted: "You are just a slippery boy. Stop fooling me with this trick. Come to my place now."

Du Fei responded, but the call on the other end had already been hung up.

Du Fei was thinking, what could this person do to him? It's definitely not a matter of the H-8 workshop being misappropriated. If he just mentioned this on the phone, it would be enough. There is no need to call him over for an interview.

 But if it wasn’t for this, what else would Director Nie have to do with him? Even called him over.

 But no matter what, I definitely can’t refuse.

Du Fei quickly took the car to Director Nie's office.

When they met, Director Nie had a friendly face and said with a smile: "Xiao Du, you performed quite well this time!"

Du Fei quickly said humbly: "You are so grateful. We are all the leaders of the stall."

Director Nie said: "I saw the Y-8 you produced and its performance in Nanyang, especially the photos of takeoff and landing at the field airport. It's quite amazing!"

Du Fei's heart suddenly moved. Director Nie did not mention the H-8 when he came, but instead mentioned the Yun-8. What does this mean?

Director Nie did not go around in circles, and quickly explained the core meaning of calling Du Fei here this time: "Xiao Du~ Facts have proved that your previous idea was right."

Du Fei blinked his eyes, wondering how he had uncovered this old sesame and rotten millet thing.

Director Nie was referring to the fact that when he was competing with the Shanghai Stock Exchange for a large aircraft project, Du Fei suggested that the time was not ripe for the development of jets, and that turboprops should be built first so that the country could use them first, before going too far with jets.

Eventually lost out to the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Ministry of Aircraft Engineering’s plans for a large jet aircraft.

 This is why we had to find another way and develop an H-8 large bomber similar to the Tu-95.

 Subsequently, the same coaxial reversing engine was used to create a series of products such as the Y-8, the H-7, and the gunship.

Looking at the Shanghai stock market, despite all its efforts, it is still at the drawing stage.

It was unusual for Director Nie to suddenly mention this. Du Fei became more cautious and laughed dryly: "Uncle Nie, what you said..."

Director Nie waved his hand and said: "Don't think too much. Let me tell you that there are difficulties in the progress of the project in Shanghai. It is difficult to come up with a prototype in a short time under the current situation, so I hope you can follow the original instructions." The plan is to build a large turboprop transport aircraft similar to the Sulian-22 based on the Y-8 and H-8."

Du Fei was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Director Nie would call him for this.

 But it is not difficult to understand. To be honest, Du Fei is making continuous achievements, while Shanghai Stock Exchange is just grinding away. No matter who it is, they have to have opinions about them.

 The other one is to flog fast oxen. Since you are good at it, add an extra burden.

Du Fei will not let go of this matter easily. It is not easy to be a good person at first. Once he takes over this matter, there will be more troubles in the future.

 Furthermore, the cooperation between the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Ministry of Machinery and Machinery to develop large aircraft was a collective decision. What happened now that it has been changed?

If you rush to say something is not good, you will offend someone.

Besides, Du Fei already has a lot of models on hand, and he can't handle this. If he has to take over another job, it will be messed up.

 Furthermore, the aircraft manufacturer has a weak foundation and cannot afford a new major project.

Du Fei smiled dryly and said: "Uncle Nie, this... we still have to give the comrades in Shanghai some time..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Director Nie: "Time? I don't think we can use our own big plane if we give them another ten years."

Du Fei didn't know what was going on, but Director Nie was so angry, so he could only laugh along with it.

 In fact, Chongxin said that Du Fei would be quite willing to build a large transport aircraft similar to the An-22.

 At present, there is a Yun-8, and there is a ready-made engine. We can directly follow the gourd, refer to the Yun-8, expand it a circle, and then use the portable space to optimize the drawings.

 The technical difficulty is not that great. After all, the more difficult H-8 has been built.

 The biggest threshold is the unanimous decision of the previous superior.

 H-8 has taken advantage of the loophole and brought out a large transport aircraft, which may be suspected of being a slap in the face.

 At that time, I’m afraid some people will feel unhappy.

Du Fei saw Director Nie's determination and simply expressed his concerns.

Director Nie looked at him and sneered: "You, Du Fei, are you still afraid of this?"

Du Fei smiled and said: "You still have to be afraid. If people lose their fear, they will easily make mistakes."

Director Nie nodded: "It's good to have this awareness. But don't worry, I will help you solve it in advance. Just like the original Shaanxi Aircraft Factory, the fire equipment company will be directly merged with the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, and the two companies will become one. No problem."

Du Fei blinked quickly, wondering if he heard it wrong.

You actually want to give him the aircraft manufacturing factory in Shanghai?

Ben Ben was excited for a moment, but Du Fei immediately calmed down.

 According to Director Nie's statement, it can indeed solve his previous concerns, but that is the Shanghai Aircraft Factory!

 There is such a good thing as pie in the sky, even the factory was given to him?

You must know that the Shanghai Aircraft Factory is not the same as the original Shaanxi Aircraft Factory.

Shaanxi Aircraft Factory is a new factory that has just been prepared. It is a branch of the Changfei Factory and is relatively unimportant.

But the Hufei Factory is an old factory that was established 50 years ago. Its weight and status are not at the same level as the Shaanxi Fei Factory. So why should it be given to Dufei?
