Chapter 738 UGT-40000 Gas Turbine(1/2)
Selling shares?
Muravsenko shook his head: "No, Mr. Qin, we can't do that. Our Progress Design Bureau once had a glorious history. We are just encountering temporary difficulties now. As long as we have funds, we can continue to develop.
We will not sell our shares, please forgive my stubbornness, in my eyes, this is a betrayal."
Boguslayev frowned there, this matter is not easy to handle!
"Mr. Qin, if their design bureau doesn't have the funds, they won't be able to hire those engineers, and our joint research and development will be impossible!" Zamotayeva approached Qin Tao and whispered, in order not to let others
I heard that she spoke in Chinese.
"How is that possible? I just took two million and went to their design bureau to hire people. Do you believe that a large number of people followed me?" Qin Tao also retorted in Chinese: "It's just that the guy's face doesn't look good.
, the plan I proposed should be a win-win situation, we can’t give them money in vain. In the name of the group, I will take away two million directly from Genghis Khan’s account, do you agree or not?”
Zamotaeva stopped talking.
While Zamotaeva was communicating with Qin Tao, Boguslaev was also communicating with Muravsenko. The two chattered a lot, and Muravsenko's face became increasingly ugly.
However, the attitude began to loosen.
"President Qin, I have discussed with Muravshchenko. If you plan to acquire 49% of the shares of the Progress Design Bureau, then two million is a bit small." Boguslaev spoke.
"Okay, how much do you want?"
"Two million or two million, but this share, can it be reduced to ten percent?" Boguslaev said: "You also know that buying too many shares of key enterprises like the Progress Design Bureau
It must be approved by the government, and only if it is less than 10%, it will not be controlled by the government."
"It doesn't matter, we can wait for the government's approval." Qin Tao said: "Two million will only buy 10%, then we can spend 10 million to buy 49%."
Muravsenko's face turned ugly again.
The Progress Design Bureau was so proud that they created many firsts in the history of Lao Maozi. For example, the AI-20 was the first long-life turboprop engine in the Red Empire; the AI-25 was their first turbofan engine for civil aviation;
The D-36 is their first high-bypass ratio three-spool turbofan engine; the D-18T is the first turbofan engine with a thrust of more than 20tf; the previous ones are all domestic, and they also have the world's first, such as the D-136, which is the first in the world.
The most powerful helicopter engine; D-27 is the world's first propeller fan engine put into use, etc.
What now? Now they are actually reduced to having to sell their shares in order to survive? They are unwilling to do so!
However, it seems that there is no other way to choose.
"However, if Mr. Muravsenko is in trouble, then we can also comply with your request." Qin Tao said.
"Really? That's great!" Muravsenko finally had a smile on his face: "Mr. Qin, thank you for your understanding and support!"
Zhao Ling on the side did not speak, silently playing the role of an ordinary secretary. However, she was filled with emotions in her heart. The other party was really too poor!
Two million US dollars can buy 10% of their shares! They don't dare to ask for too high a price. Even if they are in decline now, in fact, the stock value is still low. However, except for Mingzhou Group, I'm afraid
No company will acquire them. Other aero-engine companies, whether they are Western or Chinese, probably want them to die.
With Mingzhou Group owning 10% of the other party's shares, they can continue to hold it in the future and encounter less resistance. Based on their operating conditions, it won't be long before they have to continue to borrow money from Mingzhou Group.
Therefore, it is the most correct choice for Qin Tao to stop in time. If Muravsenko is forced into a hurry, it may be counterproductive.
At this time, the agreement was finally reached, and everyone was smiling again.
"Okay, then our cooperation can continue. Mr. Qin, let's talk about the specific matters of this research and development institution?" Boguslaev said.
Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, according to what Mr. Muravsenko just said, please ask the Progress Design Bureau to send a hundred outstanding engineers, and we will send another hundred here to form a design team of two hundred. The leader of the team
, how about it be undertaken by our chief engineer who developed GT- here?"
"Mr. Qin, our engineers are the best and most experienced. Now, this gas turbine also needs to be improved on the basis of the D-18T engine we developed. Therefore, the chief designer should be ours.
Responsible," Muravsenko said.
This guy always puts the honor of their design bureau first! Whoever is the chief designer will have the leadership and face!
"We also have a large number of D-18T designers in our design bureau, and they have the most experience." Muravsenko continued to repeat these words: "Although you have experience in gas turbines, gas turbines are also aerospace engines.
Transformed. In our design bureau, we still have Lotarev, the former deputy chief designer of the D-18T, and it is most suitable for him to be the chief engineer."
The development of the D-18T was not that long ago. This engine was developed in 1979. At that time, many scientific research results of the D-36 were used. As a large bypass ratio turbofan engine, its thrust was very powerful. In the 1980s,
, the full-size prototype came out. In 1982, this engine was installed on the IL-76 demonstrator and the first An-124 prototype. By 1985, the D-18T had already driven
The An-124 transport aircraft flew all over the world, which shows how powerful the design strength of the Progressive Design Bureau at that time was.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now, just transforming it will take several years.
The chief designer of D-18T went to the United States. The deputy chief designer did not leave Ermao due to age and other reasons. Now, it is most appropriate to ask him to come out. Besides him, who else can be the chief designer?
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, if the former deputy chief designer of D-18T comes out, he can indeed be the chief designer. However, Mr. Muravsenko, our cooperation must not only be technical.
To consider, we have to consider political and other factors. If Lotarev is allowed to be the chief designer and exposed to the whole world, then our cooperation will probably face great resistance."
Of course, the chief designer must be someone from our own side. After all, this is not just about developing a gas turbine, but also getting all the information about the D-18T. This engine can also be tinkered with when needed in the future.
come out.
Moreover, no one can refute the reason he said now.
D-18T is a national treasure-level engine of Lao Maozi. If this engine is exported to the East, how big a shock will it bring?
After all, many eyes are staring at it. They don’t want Dongfang to become powerful, let alone obtain strategic-level weapons. This kind of engine is used on strategic transport aircraft. If it is exported to Dongfang, many people will definitely cause trouble.
Now the cooperation between Motor Sich Company and Mingzhou Group has made many people dissatisfied. No one took care of the AI-222 project at the beginning. After all, this is a small thrust engine. But when it came to the D-227, many people
Canada came to interfere, and the A-400M project came to deceive them, trying to make them give up cooperation. If it was a D-18T engine, the people behind it would probably take action directly.
Muravsenko's face turned ugly again, while Boguslaev nodded: "Yes, Mr. Qin's consideration is reasonable. If the outside world knows, the Progress Design Bureau is also involved in this project.
, and even became the chief designer, which will definitely put a lot of pressure on us. It would be better for an Oriental to be the chief designer."
"However, considering the strength of the Progressive Design Bureau, we think that we can ask Lotarev to be the deputy chief designer. In fact, who is the chief and who is the deputy is just a matter of title. The big guys are not just sitting there.
Do you want to work on projects together? Even if our people become chief engineers, they will still respect the people of the Progressive Design Bureau very much. After all, in our eyes, you are like the Big Brother faction of the Soviet Union decades ago.
The experts who come here are the same. Besides, not all of our people have oriental faces. We also have people who came from Ermao. When the big guys cooperate, maybe they will all be old faces."
For the development of domestic gas turbines, Qin Tao not only fiddled with the technical data, but also brought Sergey and others over. Sergey even gave him an oriental name, Mao Youwei.
In fact, Qin Tao doesn't value anything like 10% of the shares. Even if someone interferes in the future and prevents the Progress Design Bureau from cooperating with the Mingzhou Group, those old fools will not leave again. This
The ten percent shareholding is just an excuse to retain the designers of Progressive Design Bureau.
Muravsenko nodded.
"Okay, in that case, let's work together to develop this engine and prove our strength!"
"President Qin, since we want to keep a low profile, the code name of this project must also be low-key." Boguslaev said.
"On your side, it has always been named after UGT. The one we imported was UGT-, but on our side, we just removed the U and named it with GT. Therefore, we gave this project an internal codename of
UGT-, the external code is GT-, how about it? When we announced it to the public, we said that we were cooperating with Motor Sich Company and had nothing to do with Progressive Design Bureau. This newly formed design unit can also be called Tianjiao Aviation Design
Courtyard." Qin Tao had already planned it.
"Okay, then it's called Tianjiao Aviation Design Institute, and the model is UGT-!"
"After eight years, we finally have a new model." At this moment, Muravsenko was also very emotional.
"Mr. Muravsenko, this model is just the beginning." Qin Tao said: "After our research and development has achieved initial results, we can have more cooperation."
Muravsenko was excited: "Mr. Qin, can we still cooperate?"
"Of course, the naval department held a meeting recently and once again discussed the issue of ship-borne ten-ton helicopters. We need matching turboshaft engines."
"Mr. Qin, our Motor Sich Company can produce it. We produce the turboshaft engine used on the Mi-171 helicopter," Boguslaev said quickly.
Motorsich Company has been producing the TV3-117 turboshaft engine developed by the Klimov Design Bureau since the 1970s. This engine has been used in a large number of Laomaozi's helicopters, from the original Mi-8 to
Later, Mi-14, Mi-24, Mi-17, Mi-28, Ka-27, Ka-29, Ka-32, Ka-50, etc. are all in use. It is definitely an all-rounder.
This kind of engine has also undergone a lot of improvements from the early stage to the later stage. The take-off power of the TV3-117VM engine currently produced has reached 1397 kilowatts. At the Klimov Design Bureau, the improved model has reached 1618 kilowatts.
Moreover, in later generations, the TV3-117VMA-SBMV1 engine was finally improved, and the normal power was increased to 1839 kilowatts, and the emergency power was increased by 2027 kw.

Last time Qin Tao said that they would jointly develop it, Boguslayev was considering it. After all, they already had a qualified helicopter engine, and they had no research and development capabilities. But now, Qin Tao actually proposed it again.
"Yes, you can produce turboshaft engines, but your engines are too backward." Qin Tao said: "We have Mi-171 and Black Hawk in China. According to the military's experience, they all like Black Hawk.
Eagle, so we hope to develop products similar to the Black Hawk engine."
No matter how TV3-117 develops, there is not much improvement. Even if the power is enough, what about reliability? What about lifespan? What about fuel consumption? What about the control system? These are all backward. Dongfang wants to stand at a new height.
Go to R&D!
"Mr. Qin, although TV3-117 was not designed by our Progressive Design Bureau, we have also designed helicopter engines. We can meet your needs!" Muravshchenko said.
Of course it would be great to have R&D projects. One more R&D project for Tianjiao Aviation Design Institute means more income for Progress Design Bureau.
"Okay, then let's sign the contract as soon as possible and establish the UGT- project first." Qin Tao said: "For the subsequent helicopter engine project, we can start research and development when necessary."
After finishing speaking, Qin Tao glanced at Muravsenko again: "Mr. Muravsenko, you can also stay at Tianjiao Aviation Design Institute in the future and guide the work as a technical consultant. We can give you a subsidy."
Muravsenko shook his head: "Forget it, Zaporozhye is my home, and I still like to stay in Zaporozhye. With this project, our Progress Design Bureau can survive, Mr. Qin,
I have to thank you."
