Chapter 513 Lin Qiangsheng's Alone Walk

Chen Yao looked back at Yang Wanli and the others, blinked her big eyes and asked Lin Johnson in a low voice, "What are they doing?"

Lin Qiang-sheng smiled awkwardly and said, "They have their own business, and follow us all the way. △↗,"

Chen Yao looked at Lin Johnson suspiciously, snorted softly and said, "I agreed to accompany me, but I don't keep my word!"

She picked up a bottle of Coke and opened the cap and handed it to Chen Yao. She pouted and turned her face, sulking and ignored Lin Johnson.

"This time we visited a large aircraft manufacturing factory in the United States first, and then went to Hawaii on the 15th. At that time, we just avoided the most vicious sunshine in September and avoided the peak of tourism. At that time, there were fewer people, and we could enjoy the world of two people with peace of mind!" Lin Johnson whispered in Chen Yao's ear.

Chen Yao listened to Lin Qiangsheng's words and turned her eyes, thinking that this arrangement was good. She was most afraid of too many people and also afraid of tanning. But she was still a little angry. After thinking about it, it was not easy for Lin Qiangsheng, so Chen Yao took the initiative to give in.

The girl turned her head and hugged Lin Johnson, and said in his ear: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but you have to make sure you will be with me wholeheartedly then!"

As she said that, she leaned on Lin Johnson's shoulder and said softly: "It's only a honeymoon in a lifetime!"

Lin Qiangsheng looked at Chen Yao's falling hair and smooth forehead, kissed her and said, "Well, then I will only accompany you to walk on the beach and enjoy the beautiful ocean of blue sky and white clouds!"

"Hehe" Chen Yao smiled, and leaned on Lin Johnson's shoulder and closed her eyes.

The Boeing 747 flew to the Shi Hai first and completed the exit procedures. It took off again at 5 pm and flew directly across the Pacific Ocean to San Francisco. The Shi Hai to San Francisco ranged 10,550 kilometers and only flew in the air for 10 hours and 20 minutes. The Boeing 747's cruise speed was not that fast. It is said that there was a high-altitude wind flowing from west to east. The wind speed reached more than 100 kilometers per hour.

There were not many passengers on the plane. According to Lin Qiangsheng's old experience, he asked Yang Wanli and others to leave their original seats and go to the back cabin to grab the entire empty seat to hurry up and sleep. To prepare to reduce the jet lag, Chen Yao also fell asleep on Lin Qiangsheng.

At half past eleven, everyone was awakened by the huge bumps. It was dawn and everyone was sleepless. Friends who had never left the country were excited and talked about the surprises that would be on this journey.

At noon local time, Lin Johnson and his group arrived at San Francisco International Airport. After passing the customs and entering the country, they transferred to Western Airlines flight, then flew through Salt Lake City, and arrived at New York Kennedy Airport. At this time, there was no direct flight to New York, so they could only transfer. Western Airlines' flight was a domestic American flight, using a Boeing 727.

Salt Lake City may really produce salt. On the plane, you can see a large white circle around the lake. There is no grass growing in a considerable area, and it is full of loess.

On the way to San Francisco to Salt Lake, I passed through the mountains and ridges. This mountain tasted a bit like the barren mountains and barren ridges in the northwest of my country. Unlike my country, it had many roads passing by, and accidentally saw round green areas, which were farm areas for automatic sprinklers. The planes continued to fly eastward. The green surface gradually increased, and the friends were excited and completely forgot the instructions of Lin Johnson and Yang Wanli to rest.

Lin Johnson and Yang Wanli looked at each other and smiled. Most of these people are young people around 30 years old (later, late to school), and they are just curious!

At Kennedy International Airport, Mr. Wang Chengdong from Grumman and the company's reception staff came to pick them up and sent Lin Johnson and others to the hotel they had found. It was the first midnight in New York time, but the car looked all the way on the highway. It was hard to imagine how busy it was. This was the 1980s, and the headlights had gathered into a river of light!

Lin Johnson and others checked into the hotel and took a shower and lay down. It was already 2:00 in the local area. In autumn, the time difference between New York and Beijing and Beijing was 13 hours.

Although Lin Johnson was not very satisfied with the accommodation conditions, he would not say anything about Grumman's arrangement. It must be because Wang Chengdong paid for his own expenses because everyone was Chinese.

In September, New York is also a season of clear and cool autumn. The lowest temperature is minus 15 degrees Celsius, which is colder than in the capital. Fortunately, everyone prepared thick clothes, and the temperature difference between morning and night was quite large.

After sleeping for a few hours, I woke up in the morning, and my friends were a little excited when I arrived in the United States for the first time. Many people took the first photo in the United States with the rising sun as the background.

The hotel and Grumman company headquarters where Lin Johnson and others live are generally located in New York, but it is actually Long Island. Long Island City, a subsidiary of New York State, is no longer under the jurisdiction of New York City, but is just close to Kuntu District, New York City. In the schedule, everyone needs to rest in the morning to resolve the time difference, and go to Grumman company in the afternoon.

Before coming to the United States, Yang Wanli had arranged internal work and prepared materials in the factory. This time they came to work for both the purpose of cooperation and the purpose of stealing the army. This is natural. In the world's top military fighter jet manufacturer, I feel sorry for myself if I don't want to learn anything back.

However, there are many unknowns during the negotiation process, such as Grumman's attitude towards cooperation? Are they willing to provide China with advanced fighter jets and production lines? Yang Wanli and others still hope to get manufacturing technology. Many people have not changed their minds and consider everything for the country.

Everything is unknown. Even in the domestic aviation field, they are still newcomers. Now, this newcomer wants to cooperate with a world-class weapon manufacturer just now. It is indeed very big. However, this team is only Yang Wanli who really experienced the period of construction when fighting against the sky and earth. This chief engineer is a bit stupid and bold, and Lin Johnson is also happy to do so. Isn’t it just that he needs the courage to charge like Tang Jikede?

The manufacturing and production experience of Americans is definitely different from that in China. It is better to have no domestic production environment, and it is easier to turn around if you suffer less interference. It is also Lin Johnson-John’s plan to start learning the American route at the beginning. This is much easier than changing from the Soviet route to the United States in the domestic aviation field, and there is no obstacle.

Because he had no idea, Yang Wanli asked Lin Johnson to mobilize the technicians again. Lin Johnson asked everyone to communicate with each other. All ten people were new to the United States and might have internships at the Grumman factory in the future.

After the excitement, everyone was a little worried. Several older people expressed their concerns about the degree of adaptation to language, ideas, methods and even living habits, and they were not sure. Yang Wanli also showed a worried expression for the first time. Even if he was striving for a while, it would be useless to not understand the emotions!

Lin Johnson gave them full trust and confidence in these aspects. He smiled and said to the members of the China Eastern Airlines Engineering team: "Everyone, Dongxing not only has a company in China, but also has a large distribution scale in the United States. This time we will first visit Grumman's technical strength and production scale. After they reveal that they can really sell 14 fighter jets to us, then discuss the specific terms. You just need to study American technology. Then there will be another group of people to follow the negotiations. The company will also send translators to accompany you through a period of adaptation, but you must grow up as soon as possible. Professional translators are difficult to find!"

Everyone laughed after hearing Lin Johnson's words, and Yang Wanli also said excitedly: "Young guys, cheer up. It's rare for you to be a skilled researcher this time. Can a small language barrier stump you?"

"No!" Everyone started shouting, and Lin Johnson laughed. He quickly stopped the shouts of the members of the group and said with a smile: "Don't attract the hotel people, and it will be broken if you drive us out!"

Before noon, Ma Chenglin, deputy director of the Military Operations Department of the Department of Defense who had visited the United States, and Niu Xintang of AVIC, rushed to the hotel and met with members of China Eastern Airlines Industries.

This time they were assigned by the central government. They were previously inspecting the development level of the US aviation industry and also tentatively proposed plans to introduce fighter jets and technology to various American military-industrial companies. However, only Grumman actively promoted 14, but did not include technology. Other arms giants such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing were not interested in selling advanced fighter jets to China.

The two were also surprised to receive the news that China Eastern Airlines was preparing to negotiate with Grumman to introduce 14 fighter jets. The country also wanted to own this advanced fighter jet. No matter what kind of pancakes, Grumman didn't sell technology, the domestic military couldn't afford it!

They are a little confused about what happened to Dongxing Aviation Industry Corporation and how can they go alone. (To be continued.)
