Interstellar Energy Tycoon

The morning of July 10.

Suhongdong high-speed rail station.

A group of people dressed in business suits and leather shoes walked out of the exit passage with trolley suitcases in their hands.

They are in a hurry, with urgency and excitement on their faces, giving people a feeling of being in a hurry.

Take the elevator out of the station.

The group got into the taxi that had been waiting by the side of the road and headed straight for the industrial park.

"Mr. He, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Once we reach a strategic cooperation with Xingyuan Group, we will take off and become the world's number one commercial aircraft manufacturer. Realized the monopoly of the industry, defeated the two Western aviation giants, suffered endlessly, and were on the verge of bankruptcy, let them completely become history!"

In the taxi, Lin Zuolong excitedly said to the middle-aged man with a square face beside him.

"Chips, aircraft manufacturing, and some high-end machine tools, nanomaterials, and robots are all shortcomings that our country has not completely overcome. However, in recent years, we have overcome chips equivalent to 6 nanometers. Only large aircraft In this regard, the performance of our COMAC in the past few years has not been satisfactory. We have failed to make breakthroughs in foreign markets, and the total delivery volume in the domestic market is less than 200. I am ashamed of the country and the people."

Chairman He Dong of COMAC sighed, his face was full of shame.

"Mr. He, it's not your fault. We just delivered over a hundred C919s, and when the production capacity is about to explode, foreign engines are hard to buy, and some subsystems also encounter problems, although we have corresponding backup measures. However, precious time was wasted and the golden development period was lost. In the face of price cuts and dumping of foreign aircraft with better fuel economy, our orders were taken away in large numbers. There was nothing we could do. This is a fully competitive business field. , The nationally produced C919 we produced later can still sell more than one hundred units, which is already very good, and the opponents’ goal this time has been achieved.”

Although everyone knows it well, general manager Lin Zuolong has to explain why COMAC has been in trouble in the past two years.

Because commercial large aircraft is a fully competitive field, even if there are only a few companies that can enter this field.

For COMAC, it is no problem to manufacture a 100% domestic passenger plane, and the engine is not a problem. They can manufacture all of them by themselves. In fact, they have also done it. It took only a short time to break the restriction. The resumption of production has been achieved, and the majority of netizens are excited, proud and excited, and have the pleasure of slapping their faces.

Then what?

Orders were canceled in large numbers.

The overseas airworthiness certificate has not been obtained for a long time.

Nowadays, only thirty or forty aircraft can be produced and delivered a year, and it has become a half-dead, lingering look, and this is due to the strong support of the state. Without the support of the state, it is estimated that it would not be able to persist.

By the way, how could this be the case? Why is there a big contrast between the actual situation and the cheering scene of netizens.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of cost and economics of use.

In terms of cost, after using 100% of the parts produced by domestic suppliers, it is okay if it is purchased in large quantities, and the price can be cheap and the reliability is not inferior to foreign parts; but if it is purchased in small quantities, the cost of mold opening costs It is very exaggerated and can only increase the price, resulting in no competitiveness in price.

Secondly, although the domestically produced Changjiang-2000 large ducted engine has sufficient thrust, its fuel consumption is indeed higher than that of the Western LEAP engine—just a little higher, and it burns an extra ton of aviation kerosene for every 1,000 kilometers it flies, but that’s the value. Five to six thousand yuan per ton of kerosene is the main profit of many airlines, and the engine life, reliability, and maintainability are all poorer, and the overall cost of use is tens of thousands higher per flight.

At this time, the western Maiyin and Boeing aircraft companies announced a collective price reduction, selling the aircraft at a price close to the cost, and only earning later maintenance costs. In addition, they launched a new engine that is said to be extremely fuel-efficient, which can significantly improve aviation. The company's profit margin.

After a set of combined punches, it really suppressed the strong development momentum of COMAC and stabilized their position.

After all, how can it be so easy to conquer the last technological fortress?

but……

The pair of partners He Dong and Lin Zuolong came to Suhong City in a hurry today with a group of entourages, and they didn't come here for tourism.

Rather, they saw an opportunity.

Opportunity to change lanes and overtake!

As long as this opportunity is seized and a brand-new civil airliner is produced, it will definitely be able to kill all directions in the market and completely eliminate Maiyin and Boeing aircraft, so that those extremely realistic airlines can only come to the door to buy. If you can't buy the new airliner you fly, you will end up being eliminated quickly. You have to put down your airs and try your best to curry favor with COMAC.

After all, what kind of brand-new airliner can change lanes and overtake other vehicles, but it can also change the attitude of domestic airlines by 180°?

Here is a hurdle for the time being.

And it is a young man under 27 years old who can bring about this kind of change to COMAC.

The purpose of He Dong and Lin Zuolong's visit to Suhong City today is to cooperate with the group and to meet that young man.

...

It's not until ten o'clock in the morning.

The taxi team arrived at the industrial park, at the gate of the Xingyuan Group headquarters building.

He Dong, Lin Zuolong and others got out of the car, and then, led by the staff, entered the elevator.

Large conference room on the 28th floor.

They finally met the young man who had made a big splash a few days ago and shocked the whole world.

"Mr. Li, I've looked up to you for a long time."

"As the saying goes, the back waves of the Yangtze River drive the front waves. Mr. Li, you are not the back waves, but a monstrous tsunami with a height of hundreds of meters. I, Lin Zuolong, feel inferior."

"I also feel that I have wasted my life and lived on dogs."

"Mr. Li, although you are more than 20 years younger than me, you are my idol and the idol my daughter admires the most."

"Don't talk about it, that ignorant girl in my family is only in high school, and she is yelling every day that she wants to marry Li Xingyang, marrying the 'Prince of the Sun', it annoys me, Mr. Li, why don't you give me a contact information , let my girl calm down a little?" said the middle-aged female engineer.

"Haha, don't embarrass Mr. Li. Now Mr. Li has become a national husband. There are tens of millions of wives on the Internet. Mr. Li must be more annoying than you."

"That's right, there won't be one outstanding hero like Mr. Li in a thousand years. I don't know who will fall into the famous grass in the future."

Li Xingyang kept talking about everything, they were too generous.

After a while of pleasantries.

Only then did the two parties sit at the long round table and formally start negotiations.

"Welcome Mr. He, Mr. Lin and all the experts from COMAC..."

Li Xingyang delivered some opening remarks, and then asked his assistant, Xu Rong, to insert a USB flash drive into the computer, open a PPT prepared in advance, and explain a new and promising commercial airliner project to the representatives of COMAC .

Actually!

Li Xingyang has not officially started to explain.

Just seeing the title and effect picture on the first page of the PPT, everyone in COMAC could not help but widen their eyes, and some even stood up:

"Solar Airliner - the most mainstream means of transportation in the future"

The effect picture is a disc-shaped device like a flying saucer, with a circle of white light bands in the middle and lower part, like windows, representing the number of passengers that can be seated.

There is a yellow beam of light shining on the pot-shaped back of the flying saucer device, and blue flames are emitted from the edge and bottom, obviously the ion engine is working.

Just this one effect picture is deeply eye-catching, which made He Dong, Lin Zuolong and other COMAC personnel have uncontrollable expectations and impulses, and even wished to immediately shout out their agreement to cooperate, and then immediately put it in the PPT picture. The flying saucer device was produced.

"Everyone, don't get excited for the time being, let me finish the introduction first, and then discuss it."

Li Xingyang smiled slightly, pressed his hand, and continued the introduction.
