Chapter 1722 Turning the Peak (Part 1)

"Sorry, G!" Charles personally rushed to Guo Tailai's mansion and apologized to Guo Tailai. This is national policy, a decision made by a group of members of Congress and the Trade and Industry Committee. Although Charles is a royal family, the royal family has limited power in national management strategies. His personal opinions and those of some of his friends cannot be opposed. The will of most people can only be the result of this regret.

"Don't tell me you're sorry, Charles." Guo Tailai instead comforted Charles: "It's not your fault. In fact, when I first made the choice, I knew that there was little hope. I just wanted to try. You don't have to because Apologize for this."

"I just feel, a little..." Charles didn't know what to say. The policy towards China is a consistent strategy of Western countries. Even the British royal family can't change all this, but he really cherishes the friendship with Guo Tailai.

"Don't worry, we are friends!" Guo Tailai said with a smile: "Don't worry about such a small matter."

"Well, G, we are friends!" Charles also laughed, patted Cathay Pacific on the shoulder and said: "So when the royal family wants to order your helicopter, you have to give a favorable discount."

"Of course there is no problem!" Guo Tailai agreed. The British royal family ordered the plane, what a good advertisement?

It is a little disappointing not to get MT30, but everyone is actually mentally prepared. It's not that Rolls-Royce doesn't want to sell, but the blockade of the entire Western world, especially the United States is also under great pressure in this regard, and the British Parliament has to consider it.

Although this trip did not get a satisfactory result, for Guo Tailai, everything was not so bad. The point is that Guo Tailai really went to Rolls-Royce Engine Company to visit and investigate, and saw the MT30 test machine and understood the internal structure, which is more important than anything else.

Next, Guo Tailai stayed in the UK for an extra day, and then flew directly to Boston, USA, the headquarters of General Electric (GE). Guo Tailai's second choice, the LM2500+ gas turbine, is provided by this company.

It took a day to coordinate with old Finn, so when Guo Tailai flew to Boston, little Finn was waiting for him here.

Now little Finn is the next generation heir officially announced by the Finn family, and little Finn came forward to accompany him, which shows that this is the attitude of the Finn family.

The friendship between Guo Tailai and Little Finn was condensed under the flames of war, and it was more stable than in many other situations, so they could be called best buddies. On the day of landing, Little Finn took Guo Tailai to a mansion in the suburbs and enjoyed a delicious meal.

Originally, Little Finn wanted to arrange an indoor swimming pool bikini party for Guo Tailai, but Guo Tailai rejected it, otherwise the night would be very lively.

Now Guo Tailai is the boss of a Hollywood film company. Don’t look at others, just look at Phoenix, who is popular all over the world. Everyone says that Phoenix is ​​Mr. T’s rumored girlfriend. Let’s see how Mr. T praises Phoenix? With an investment of 300 million U.S. dollars, director James, Julie and a group of popular actresses are supporting roles, even Keanu is a supporting role, and they support Phoenix at all costs. Among the beauties who want to be famous and want to be big stars, who can resist this temptation? I'm afraid that upon hearing that Mr. T is being entertained, Finn doesn't need to spend any money. Countless beauties will take the initiative to clean up and send them to their door for free.

Boston is a famous university town, where MIT and Harvard are located. Neither of them went to General Electric the next day, but went to these two world-renowned universities first. Especially on the Harvard campus, I specially took a group photo under the Harvard statue, pretending to have been there.

After playing for a day, Guo Tailai and Finn went to visit the General Electric headquarters together. The main purpose this time is General Electric's LM2500+ gas turbine. The president of GE was not at the headquarters, and a senior vice president was sent to accompany the introduction throughout the whole process.

LM2500+ is improved on the basis of LM2500. LM2500 is a very mature gas turbine that has been used for decades and has accumulated more than 300 million hours of operating experience. This will probably never be possible in the marine gas turbine industry. The peak of transcendence. The first two of Huaxia's 052 destroyers used this gas turbine.

Guo Tailai learned that the power of the improved version of LM2500+ has been increased to 40,500 horsepower ((29,788 kilowatts), which is still a certain gap compared with the 36,000 kilowatts of MT30, but the gap is not particularly large.

"That's last year's data. In fact, our new LM2500+ has increased the output power to 42,000 horsepower, and the thermal efficiency has reached 39.5%." The accompanying senior vice president proudly patted a display machine beside him and proudly introduced Said: "This old guy, you know, this is our internal nickname, the old guy has great potential for improvement."

"42,000 horsepower?" Guo Tailai's eyes lit up, and another 1,500 horsepower was increased, which is good news for Guo Tailai: "I am most interested in whether the two new gas turbines can turn my 15,000-ton yacht Push it to more than thirty-two knots. You know, besides the biggest, what I want most is actually the fastest."

"If it runs at full power, it will definitely be faster, I can guarantee it!" The vice president has no doubts about this. The two machines add up to 84,000 horsepower, which is just a "small boat" of 15,000 tons. The boat can be pushed up. In fact, it doesn't need that much power at all, even the old version of LM2500 can do it, but since the customer wants it, and it is a customer willing to spend money, why not?

"Really?" Little Finn next to him asked instead of Guo Tailai.

"There is no problem at all." The vice president replied with certainty: "The old LM2500 has already had successful cases. Believe me, dear Mr. T, GE will never let you down. I have noticed that your personal The special plane BBJ2 also uses our GE engine, and the helicopter you developed before also uses our turboshaft engine. You have actual experience in using it, so please believe that GE's products are guaranteed to satisfy you. need."

On this point, the vice president is not lying. At least so far, Guo Tailai is very satisfied with the GE products he uses.

"The GE products I have used have always been excellent, and now I am very interested in this old guy with 42,000 horsepower." Guo Tailai expressed his interest unabashedly: "Can we take a closer look?"

"Of course!" The vice president stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly manner and made a gesture of invitation: "Why not?"

A group of people were looking at the new model LM2500+ gas turbine with great interest, when Guo Tailai's phone rang suddenly.

"G, are you inspecting the latest LM2500+ gas turbine at General Electric?" Charles called with a serious tone.

"Yes!" Guo Tailai did not deny it, what can be denied? MT30 is not for sale, Guo Tailai can only choose another one!

"Okay, I got it!" Charles said, and then hung up the phone, leaving Guo Tailai puzzled for a while.
