Huang Jinpeng still shook his head awkwardly:
"Mr. Lin, you may not know that the Y-20, like the J-20, is a national treasure. Currently, it's impossible to export it. Of course, with technological advancements and upgrades, it will definitely be possible to sell or lease it."
Lin Sanqi smacked his lips and thought of an alternative plan:
"Mr. Huang, how many Il-76s are still in China? These are old aircraft, right? They should be willing to sell them to China, right?"
Huang Jinpeng coughed lightly a few times:
"The Il-76 is unlikely to succeed. China is in dire need of large transport aircraft. Given that the Y-20 is not yet capable of serving as the main force, the Il-76 is currently the main large transport aircraft in China.
Let me tell you a secret. Just last month, we had a small conflict with Baotou State in Xueyu Province. We immediately used the Il-76 to transport a battalion of soldiers and equipment over there and quickly quelled the conflict.
Modern warfare relies on logistics, and logistics relies on transport capacity. Given that there are only 36 Il-76s in China, the higher-ups certainly won't sell off this killer weapon. The logic remains the same: they won't even have enough for their own use."
Lin Sanqi became annoyed when he heard this:
"I'm going to give up. This won't work, and I won't sell that. After all this time, our large aircraft are nowhere near as advanced as I thought? At this critical moment, we still have to rely on Soviet-made aircraft as the main force. This is too bad."
Because this happened in a private environment, Huang Jinpeng did not blame Lin Sanqi for his complaint, and would not spread it.
"Director Lin, I'm a little curious. Why do you need a large transport plane? And it has to be adapted to the plateau environment?"
Lin Sanqi thought, can I tell you that I plan to use an airplane to transport supplies to empty Kazan to pack the first three days?
Huang Jinpeng would probably be scared to death if he heard this, because this area has always been a place of war. Since there is no such demand in the country, could it be that supplies are being sent to Baotou?
At this time, Huang Jinpeng suddenly asked:
"Mr. Lin, do you mind that old plane? But it would be more troublesome to maintain."
Lin Sanqi sat up straight when he heard this:
"Mr. Huang, what do you mean? Tell me."
Huang Jinpeng then said with a smile:
"There's a company next door called Shaanxi Aircraft Group, which is a sister company to us. I know they have an old aircraft, the Y-8A model. They currently have about 15 of them, all of which are in storage."
Lin Sanqi asked with some confusion, "Yun-8A? I know about the Y-8 transport aircraft. What's the difference between the two?"
Huang Jinpeng patted the armrest of the sofa and said:
"This Y-8A is actually an improved version of the Y-8 transport aircraft. It was developed specifically for transporting Black Hawk helicopters to Tibet, so this high-altitude version is developed. Doesn't it exactly meet your requirements?"
Lin Sanqi still didn't understand why the transport plane was related to the helicopter?
Huang Jinpeng knew that Lin Sanwai was an outsider, so he patiently explained:
"In the 1990s, we were in a honeymoon period with the United States. As long as we paid, the United States would sell us almost any weapons.
Just because our domestic helicopters cannot adapt to the snowy plateau, we introduced a US Black Hawk helicopter, which is an all-weather high-performance helicopter.
During the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, domestically produced helicopters were unable to enter the disaster area, so we had to rely on Black Hawk helicopters. So this is a great treasure, and we only have more than 30 of them in our country.
At the time, Snowland Province needed Black Hawk helicopters, but other regions in the country also needed them, so Black Hawk helicopters were borrowed and borrowed from various places across the country. Snowland Province was particularly special, so Black Hawk helicopters were used the most.
Helicopter long-distance maneuvers are time-consuming and energy-intensive, and will also prematurely consume the life of the aircraft.
So when we saw the US deliver Black Hawk test aircraft to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau using a C-130 transport aircraft, we immediately had a new idea: to follow the US example and also build a domestically produced Black Hawk dedicated aircraft carrier platform. This is the origin of the Y-8A tactical transport aircraft.
After this explanation, Lin Sanqi understood and said happily:
“Mr. Huang, I understand. What you mean is that we have invented a large aircraft that can put a helicopter inside the belly of a transport plane and then transport it to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Because this aircraft is specially produced for high-altitude transportation, it better meets my requirements. And there are 15 of them in total, so the Shaanxi Aircraft Group should be willing to sell them. Is that what you mean?"
Huang Jinpeng nodded:
"Yes, given that the Y-20 and Il-76 are unavailable, this is the most suitable aircraft model for you in China right now. Since it's second-hand, there's no sales ban.
Of course, if you have enough time, you can also go abroad to purchase. As long as you have money, civilian aircraft will not restrict you. "
Lin Sanqi thought that purchasing from abroad was not a matter of money, but a matter of time.
Even if a certain aircraft model is finally decided, it will almost never be delivered immediately, but will have to wait for production.
The problem is that time waits for no one. Xu Tianxing is still waiting in Bao'an County, and it is impossible for him to wait for a few days. He has to leave immediately.
At the same time, tens of thousands of soldiers were waiting eagerly in Kongkashan, leaving him no time to take his time.
Besides, it would be embarrassing if such an advanced airplane could not fly even if it was taken to another time and space.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi also made a decisive decision:
"Mr. Huang, could you please help me connect them? I'll go talk to the comrades at Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation."
"Okay, I'll call now."
Half an hour later, Lin Sanqi and Huang Jinpeng appeared at Shaanxi Aircraft Group. The headquarters of the two companies were very close to each other.
Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd. is the full name of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd.
The full name of Shaanxi Aircraft Industry Group is Shaanxi Aircraft Industry Group.
Both companies are branches of the China Aviation Industry Corporation, but each has its own unique historical background, technological advantages and market positioning.
Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group's product line covers multiple fields including bombers, transport aircraft, and civil regional airliners.
The products include the H-6 series bombers, the Y-20 large transport aircraft, and the Xianfeng series regional airliners that Lin Sanqi has just cleared out.
In addition, Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group has also undertaken the research and development and manufacturing of many key components in the domestically produced large aircraft C919 project.
Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation focuses on the research, development and production of transport aircraft and special aircraft.
For example, the Y-8 that Lin Sanqi is planning to purchase. In addition, Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation has developed a variety of special aircraft such as early warning aircraft and anti-submarine patrol aircraft based on the Y-8 platform.
When Lin Sanqi and Huang Jinpeng got out of the car, He Chengong, chairman of Shaanxi Aircraft Group, was already waiting in the hall.
"Old Huang, you're truly the number one pimp in the system now. Haha, this is Chairman Lin, right?"
Huang Jinpeng said proudly:
"That's right. Look, I've brought the God of Wealth to you today. This is Mr. Lin Sanqi, the chairman of Lingnantang Group. Mr. Lin, this is He Chengong, the chairman of Shaanxi Aircraft."
Lin Sanqi was the client's father, so he naturally didn't notice the tension of the military industry boss. He extended his hand and shook it.
"Mr. He, I'm here to ask for help."
"No, no, Mr. Lin, Mr. Huang, please come in. We have prepared a meeting room."
Shaanxi Aircraft Group attached great importance to Lin Sanqi's sudden visit. They called together the team members and set up the meeting room in the shortest time possible.
When Lin Sanqi walked in, a message was written on the huge screen: "Welcome Chairman Lin of Lingnantang Group to visit."
State-owned enterprises have done a very good job in this regard, making people feel like they are basking in the spring breeze. However, over time, it is very easy for those in power to lose their way.
It was awkward when the meeting started, as there were only Lin Sanqi and his secretary.
The team members of Shaanxi Aircraft Group, including secretaries and assistants, total more than ten people.
Lin Sanqi looked around and felt like he was on the 7 o'clock news. He was a small country from the Pacific Ocean with a population of only 20,000, while the other side was a large country in the middle of the world.
Lin Sanqi didn't waste much time. After sitting down, he got straight to the point and said:
"Mr. He, and all the other leaders, I'm here this time mainly to purchase transport aircraft, and I need them urgently. I want them in stock and can't wait for them to be produced.
I asked Mr. Huang before if he would sell his Y-20, but he refused. He suggested that our sister company, Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation, had the Y-9, so I wondered if the comrades there could satisfy me.
Lin Sanqi heard on the road from Huang Jinpeng that Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation's newly produced Y-9 transport aircraft had already rolled off the production line, and that the Y-9 had a larger payload and better performance, so Lin Sanqi wanted to see if the Y-9 was for sale.
He Chengong rolled his eyes at Huang Jinpeng and said with a smile:
"Director Lin, to be honest, the Y-9's performance has indeed reached the internationally advanced level. However, as a key national aircraft project, the first Y-9 was only produced last year and has not yet been assembled in the military, so..."
Lin Sanqi understood. The entire army had not yet officially equipped it, and it was not enough for their own use, so how could they possibly sell it?
At this point, Lin Sanqi gave up on this idea and focused on buying the Yun-8. (End of this chapter)
