Lin Johnson and his group boarded the plane, and Dongxing Aviation Industry Corporation's plan also asked the Central Committee for instructions. They will introduce 14 fighter jets to Grumman, as well as the United States' advanced radar technology, cockpit technology, and avionics technology efforts!

After researching with multiple departments such as AVIC, Air Force, the central government approved the plan of China Eastern Airlines and asked representatives from two departments in the United States to coordinate their work with domestic aviation manufacturers.

A few years ago, China originally wanted to introduce an advanced fighter aircraft from the West to produce production technology, but the US government at that time only allowed the sale of low-end goods such as 16/79 to China, and did not provide technology and production lines. The French were very enthusiastic about recommending their Phantom 2000 to China and agreed to sell production lines. At that time, the political resistance to introducing this aircraft and production lines did not exist, but due to the high price of the French, the plan was left unresolved.

Grumman has also recommended 14 fighter jets to China, but domestic experts are not very satisfied with the oldest model of this third-generation aircraft, and it is expensive and does not provide production lines and technology, so it is not very interested in it in China.

In his previous life, Lin Johnson also saw many comments online, saying that in 1984, Grumman expressed the sale of a batch of 14 improved models in China, totaling 24 aircraft, and replaced the 110-ge-400 engine, with increased thrust, significantly improved performance, and reduced fuel consumption. In the following years, the two sides had endless negotiations on performance, price, etc. Grumman invited Chinese technicians to visit its factory and invited US Navy pilots to fly displays. At that time, Grumman CEO also presented T-shirts embroidered with "Red Tomcat" to Chinese personnel.

But according to Lin Johnson's actual understanding in this era, there is no interaction between the two sides this year. Grumman may have mentioned it to China, but that is also the original version 14, and there is no interest in it at home. Moreover, this transaction requires authorization from the US government and Congress, and the most important thing is a TAA technical assistance authorization letter. After all, it is a supersonic heavy carrier-based fighter jet. Iran relies on it to resist Iraqi fighter jets several times its own. Grumman is very sad to pass this level.

Since GM has not developed the 110-ge-400 engine and the 14 has not been replaced, it is unknown whether Grumman can handle this transaction.

Several difficulties are placed in front of him, and for Lin Johnson, he also needs to coordinate with the domestic air force. If the air force does not buy it, he will not be able to continue playing. However, Lin Johnson is not just trying to contribute to the motherland. He has his own important goals to achieve in introducing 14!

The American manufacturing technology is more than a little advanced than that of Europe and Russia and China, especially military technology. The long life and excellent stability of its component systems are incomparable to any technologically developed country. Perhaps Japan can compare in some aspects, because the US fighter jets are made in Japan.

14 As a carrier-based aircraft, it emphasizes the perfect unity of structural strength, component life and weight, so the manufacturing process is more sophisticated.

Lin Johnson is looking forward to introducing it to understand and learn the American manufacturing ideas and systems, which is of great significance to the technological and system progress of Dongxing Group!

If Dongxing Group can introduce 14. Study it and learn it, establish this large project mechanism, and put the production of many subsystems, components and materials into daily technological progress. It does not seek to become fat in ten years or eight years, but uses twenty years of determination to do it and realize it step by step. During this period, it will use the acquisition of technology and ideas to produce other technologies and products. In the end, Dongxing Group will be able to produce the Chinese version of 14, even if it is more than 30 years later. It is also a huge progress for us. Of course, all subsystems produced will not be at the level of more than 30 years ago. A little bit of modification is made and improved. Do not use imitation 14 as a short-term task, but as a sample and goal of our efforts, providing an example for the basic industry.

By then, the quality of the U.S.-based engineering will be applied to various products of Dongxing Group. The benefits and significance will be unprecedented, and the significance will be far-reaching and beneficial!

Of course, Johnson Lin also understood the difficulty of achieving this transaction. The success factor is not whether he works hard or not, but whether the Americans agree or not, and the initiative is basically in the hands of the other party.

The central government also looks forward to the joint venture of China Eastern Airlines Industrial Co., Ltd., which can bring some new things to China's aviation industry, and focus on exploring a new route for technological progress.

Lin Johnson knew that Dongxing Aviation Industry Corporation could not leave the domestic system. The projects introduced require a good land, and without this land, China Eastern Aviation Industry Corporation could not survive. He had to equip the Air Force with 14 fighters, otherwise it would be impossible to introduce 14 projects, and there would be no possibility of significantly improving Dongxing product technology!

In the late 1970s, based on the needs of the troops' weapons and equipment in the mid-to-late 1980s and combined with the world's fighter jet development level, my country proposed the idea of ​​a major reform of the J-8 in order to provide the troops with fighter jets capable of intercepting high-altitude and high-speed invasion targets in the 1980s. The purpose is mainly to prevent the Soviet Union's counterfire bombers deployed in the Far East and northern China.

However, the J-82 platform was designed very smoothly. The drawing design was completed in 1982-1983 and the test flight was successful in 1984. Under such circumstances, the Central Military Commission decided to use the favorable international environment to solve the problem of the J-82 supporting system backward by introducing advanced foreign systems.

The Military Commission and the Air Force both favor the J-82 very much because it is easy to build this fighter based on China's existing technical level and technology reserves. Taking the opportunity to transform the J-82 by introducing American equipment and then copying it yourself, it will easily form combat effectiveness. The superiors have determined that this is a feasible route!

Invisibly, Lin Johnson's plan to introduce 14 hit the car with the idea of ​​the Military Commission and the Air Force. If the production line cannot be introduced, the maintenance and maintenance of 14 is notoriously expensive. Whether the Military Commission and the Air Force want this fighter jet is still a question. As for letting them pay for it, Lin Johnson had never thought about it.

In his opinion, if the industrial foundation and ideological system of Dongxing Group can be greatly improved by introducing US product management system and technology, he will spend one billion US dollars at all costs. If the quality management of US industrial enterprises is applied to the automobile industry and other industrial production, the market it will win in the future will be unlimited!

There were 12 people on this trip. Except for him and Chen Yao, they were all R&D and technicians related to aerospace, led by General Engineer Yang Wanli.

Now Dongxing Group is no longer as talent resources as it was a few years ago. At that time, if you want to recruit talents, you have to ask your grandparents to ask for help. If you want to recruit a university graduate, you have to visit them.

In the past four or five years of reform and opening up, Lin Johnson’s most obvious feeling is that he is free to do things!

As educated youth returned to the city, and the number of people who flocked to the city to make money continued to increase, the overall employment situation in society became worse. Earlier, the municipal government felt some employment pressure and tried hard and rudely to stuff people into the enterprises. However, as this situation has increased in recent years, the superior departments also felt that it was unsustainable and unsustainable. At the same time, the enterprises were overcrowded, which not only declined economic benefits but also caused the company's funds to be exhausted and the more people they were poor.

The current bad economic situation in the country has also reflected the employment of college students. Many regions have shown a trend of difficult and difficult distribution of college students' jobs. The biggest benefit of college graduates is that they are not easy to find jobs after going to college. This has made many graduates frustrated and even complained, but it has also caused many people to change their minds and decide not to wait or rely on themselves to strive for it. In addition, in recent years, the national economic reform has gradually become popular, and many college graduates have opened up their ideas and have some unique ideas!

Nowadays, a large number of private enterprises have emerged in society and are growing like mushrooms after a rain. However, the lack of technology in private enterprises is also the biggest obstacle to the development of enterprises. So they went to research institutes and universities to hire experts and researchers to develop products for themselves, and the researchers also received some rewards. Of course, these transactions are done secretly on the back of the public, which is risky, but business owners have gained real benefits. Foresighted entrepreneurs have also turned their attention to college graduates who are waiting to be employed, and they are not satisfied with temporary workers!

Dongxing Group is naturally more attractive than private enterprises. Over the years, it has been absorbing talents from universities. The structure of the company's managers has undergone great changes. The original management team is almost all natural growth type without much culture, especially the middle-level and grass-roots managers of the group and the grass-roots factory have grown up freely. Now a large number of skilled and educated managers have grown up. Many of them were once graduates of colleges and technical colleges, and they grew very quickly after getting in touch with actual work.

Lin Johnson, the old man from the original company, did not give up. Dongxing tried hard to provide them with opportunities to learn. By hiring domestic and foreign expert lecturers, batches of employees supplemented their knowledge structure and caught up. These people also played a role in important positions in Dongxing Group.
