Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

There were endless news at the Guangzhou Auto Show, attracting the attention of all parties.

The Internet was naturally very lively.

However, Cao Yang did not show up at the auto show except for the first media day.

Because Venustech, which had been silent for a month, has made a big move again.

This speed has definitely overturned many people's cognition.

"Mr. Cao, the first test prototype of our Venus 777 will be assembled this week."

"However, the main function of this prototype is to conduct various static tests, and the second prototype will be assembled after some targeted improvements based on the test results."

"After the ground tests of the first prototype are confirmed, the first flight test will be started on the third prototype."

"If everything goes well, we will be able to complete the first phase of various tests in 2016, and then produce five more prototypes on a small scale to expand the scope of various technical verifications, and finally officially deliver them for use before 2017."

"Of course, if it is in the freight market, we can consider putting it into commercial use in 2016."

Zhao Siyu is also full of expectations for Venus 777.

Whether Venustech can make commercial passenger aircraft as big and strong as Boeing in the future depends on the performance of Venustech 777.

As long as Venustech 777 can open up the situation, the commercial aviation market will be completely open to Venustech.

This is definitely a matter of great significance for China.

As a large passenger aircraft, Venustech 777 will drive the rapid development of the entire relevant industrial chain in China.

Thus providing a major boost to the development of strategic transport aircraft.

"There are no problems with the various simulations of our design scheme on the software."

"Now we are producing the prototype step by step. Can the speed of various tests be accelerated?"

Although the development speed of Venustech 777 is already very fast compared with the industry.

However, Cao Yang is still a little dissatisfied.

This is a product that he personally participated in designing, and all the mature design schemes are used.

But in the end, it still needs to wait until 2017 for large-scale mass production, and this is based on the fact that there are no major problems in various tests.

Otherwise, it will be delayed, which is quite different from the small-scale trial operation that he wanted at the end of next year.

"If it is used as a passenger plane for cargo transportation, there is still a possibility of further advancement."

"But it is estimated that it can only fly within China. It is definitely not so fast to obtain an airworthiness certificate outside."

Similar questions are not the first time to be discussed today, so Zhao Siyu can give a quick reply.

Although he is a rocket expert, not an aircraft design expert.

But as the general manager of Venusstar Technology, he must understand all major projects.

"How is the progress of C919 at Shanghai Commercial Aircraft Corporation?"

"There are no problems with the various tests of the aircraft engines we provide, right?"

Cao Yang did not continue to force Zhao Siyu, and took one step at a time.

However, he also attaches great importance to the C919 project, which Venusstar Technology is deeply involved in.

Whether China's future passenger aircraft market can be self-sufficient depends on the two products, C919 and Venusstar 777.

As long as these two products can be successfully put on the market, the entire pattern of China's aviation industry will be completely changed.

"All tests have been completed. When C919 is mass-produced, it will definitely be equipped with our engines. However, the proportion of the engines will be 100% or other, which has not been finalized yet."

"Their C919 will officially make its maiden flight next year, and the final mass production time may be faster than our Venus 777."

With the full involvement of Venus Technology, the speed of C919 is obviously much faster than the same period in history.

It was originally going to be put into large-scale commercial use ten years later, but now it is basically possible in two years.

This change is very beneficial to relieve China's pressure in the aviation field.

Cao Yang is very clear that in a few years, the international environment facing China will be worse than it is now, and the situation in many aspects will change greatly.

In particular, the situation in the United States will also change greatly.

In the past, various suppression actions were only aimed at Nanshan-related companies, but later they will be extended to many companies.

The whole situation has changed completely.

At this time, if China's dependence on American products can be reduced to the greatest extent, it will definitely be a good thing.

"The speed of civilian products is still too slow, unlike military products, which can be put into use immediately as long as the performance of all aspects meets the standards."

"It is also necessary to speed up the development of our military transport aircraft project."

"It is possible that before the large-scale production of Venus 777, our military transport aircraft will be equipped with relevant departments first."

Cao Yang is now more and more interested in developing military products.

Venus Technology has many new technologies that can be used in new products.

For relevant departments, those things that have not been solved domestically will be eager to be equipped as long as there are no obvious flaws after they are developed.

All kinds of verification can be gradually improved, and the urgent needs can be solved first.

This approach is obviously very suitable for Venusstar Technology.

"Well, this is indeed possible. Many things in the H-20 project of AVIC are similar to the Venusstar 777, and can also be horizontally deployed on our military transport aircraft."

"After a few years, when all these projects are launched, it will be necessary to build a new factory."

"For military-related projects, the relevant departments tend to build factories in Chang'an City."

Venusstar Technology now has layouts in Yangcheng and Chang'an, but all aspects of the content are basically based on Yangcheng.

Calculating the time, if Chang'an wants to build a factory, it is obvious that preparations must be started.

"Liu Tianwu has communicated with me before. You can lead a team to Chang'an City to discuss the construction of the factory in detail."

An airplane is so big that the factory for assembling airplanes occupies a large area.

Although Yangcheng also has land available, Chang'an City is indeed more suitable.

Especially when communicating with AVIC about the H-20 project, it was already determined to build a factory in Chang'an City.

"No problem, Chang'an City will definitely welcome us to invest."

"Especially the production of several of our products is expected to be relatively high, and the output value contributed will be relatively high at that time."

Zhao Siyu did not feel any pressure at all for the task assigned by Cao Yang.

"By the way, Mr. Cao, do we need to publicize our prototype this time?"

Zhao Siyu knew that Cao Yang always attached great importance to publicity.

The confidentiality requirements of Venusstar Technology are completely different from those of AVIC and Aerospace Science and Technology, and they are more like the style of the United States.

The product has not been fully developed yet, but it has started large-scale publicity, and I can't wait to let everyone know that my technology is very powerful.

"Take a picture that is not so clear, take it inside the factory, so that everyone can see that Venusstar 777 has officially produced products."

"There is no need to reveal so many details about the rest, let everyone guess at will."

Cao Yang thought for a while and gave his answer.

However, after such a simple picture was posted on the official Weibo of Venusstar Technology, the response it caused was far beyond Cao Yang's imagination.

The first person to call Cao Yang was Zhao Tianling of AVIC.

The two sides now have many cooperative projects. Not to mention that C919 is also related to AVIC, the H-20 project alone is worthy of AVIC's high attention.

As the first large passenger aircraft of Venusstar Technology, Venusstar 777 has attracted the attention of many people at home and abroad.

Zhao Tianling is no exception.

"Mr. Cao, your prototype has been offline so quickly, when will it make its first flight?"

Zhao Tianling really wants to know the news of Venusstar 777. AVIC has been working on it for so many years and has not made anything famous, but Venusstar Technology has made a move so quickly.

This obviously still brings him some pressure.

At that time, the leaders of the relevant departments will definitely compare the two sides together.

This is afraid of comparison in everything, and the difference can be compared once it is compared.

"The time of the first flight cannot be finalized yet, and it depends on the previous test situation."

"After all, the first flight also requires pilots to operate. If the safety of the pilots cannot be guaranteed, we will definitely not make the first flight."

Cao Yang's words are not a lie.

Although there are plans internally, the plans will definitely change.

Now before the specific schedule is determined, it is not yet determined.

"I went to a meeting last week, and the relevant departments were urging us to make progress on the H-20."

"According to the progress of the Venus 777, will our H-20 also have a prototype next year?"

The importance of strategic bombers is unquestionable.

I can do without it, but I can't do without it.

Otherwise, the opponent's attitude will be completely different.

"It shouldn't be a problem to produce a prototype next year. If the speed is fast enough, it is possible to conduct the first flight test at the end of next year."

The technical requirements for military product development are higher, but for some other test requirements, they are sometimes lower than those for civilian products.

At least people's acceptance of new technologies is much higher, and there is no need to conduct countless verifications over and over again.

"That's great, everyone should have nothing to say about this speed."

"But I think your Venus 777 is so fast in development, be careful of Boeing and Airbus."

Zhao Tianling's mood suddenly became a little better, and he couldn't help but remind Cao Yang beside him.

After all, products like the Venus 777 are meant to compete with the two oligarchs, Boeing and Airbus, for the market.

Even if the initial market is only occupied by China, it will definitely offend others.

However, Nanshan Group's enterprises have offended many international giants in recent years, so this time is not a big deal.

So Cao Yang didn't take it too seriously.

On the Boeing side, just as Zhao Tianling said, they are discussing how to deal with the rapid development of the Venus 777.

"David, the development speed of the passenger aircraft at Venus Technology seems to be much faster than we thought."

"Now Airbus's A350 and other new projects are also being rapidly developed, but our Boeing 777 is now in an unfavorable situation."

"The development progress of Boeing 737MAX needs to be further improved."

Muilenburg has also been under a lot of pressure recently.

As a core enterprise in the United States, Boeing's development this year has not been particularly smooth.

On the one hand, they face various competitions in the international market from companies such as Airbus and Daystar Technologies.

On the other hand, the disappearance of the Boeing 777 has not yet been concluded, which has had a great impact on their reputation.

In particular, some negative news comes out every now and then, which makes Muilenburg a little more worried.

"Boeing's 737MAX development work is progressing smoothly and is expected to be delivered before the Airbus A350 is mass-produced."

"Although this product of ours has many technological innovations, for the driver, the operation method is not much different from that of the Boeing 737, which can greatly save time in commercial use."

David naturally knows why Muilenburg suddenly told him to speed up the development of Boeing 737MAX.

He naturally knew that Venus Technology had released physical photos of the Venus 777 prototype.

With a competitor that is making rapid technological progress and launching new products very quickly, it is difficult for Boeing to stay calm.

Looking around the world, only Venus Technology can bring this kind of pressure to them.

“Save as much time as possible, and omit as many processes as possible.”

"We must come up with products that are more suitable for market demand as soon as possible to compete with competitors for orders."

The Boeing 737MAX is a project that Muilenburg is fully promoting and has high expectations on him.

So he naturally hopes to put it on the market as soon as possible.

"I understand. I will arrange another meeting for the project team tomorrow to rearrange the relevant schedule."

The boss has spoken, so David naturally wants to act as soon as possible.

"Then the Chinese engineers within the company should try their best not to expose them to core technologies."

"Venus Technology's passenger aircraft project is developing so fast. I suspect that some of our engineers have sold out our technical information."

Although Muilenburg did not have any evidence to support his point of view, he subconsciously felt that this was the fact.

After all, the development speed of many products from Daystar Technology has exceeded ordinary people's awareness.

This is obviously unreasonable.

But if someone provides Boeing's confidential information for the other party's reference, and combines it with Venus Technology's own technology, it would make sense.

"Many of our engineers are of Chinese descent. If they are not allowed to participate in some projects, it may affect the progress."

David hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was still necessary to remind him.

From a purely employment perspective, he feels that Chinese engineers are actually more useful.

However, Muilenburg’s perspective on the problem is not exactly the same as his. “Isn’t the company also recruiting a lot of engineers from Tianzhu?”

"Even part of the business is outsourced to Tianzhu's team for development. I think we can make full use of Tianzhu's human resource advantages."

"Put more of our tasks in their hands."

Muilenburg was quick to come up with his own solution.

In his view, Boeing definitely has no shortage of engineers.

Removing some people is equivalent to removing some risks.

Otherwise, if the Boeing 737MAX has not yet been successfully developed and the relevant technical information appears on Venus Technology, he will never accept it.

With Muilenburg's decision, Tianzhu engineers' voice within Boeing has increased a lot.

This consequence is probably not something Muilenburg could have foreseen now.

…

"Chen, what do you think of the official pictures from Daystar Technology?"

As the president of Airbus Commercial Aircraft, Fabrice is naturally very concerned about the developments of Daystar Technology.

From a global perspective, apart from Boeing, its old rival, only Venus Technology can put pressure on the development of Airbus.

So as soon as I saw the news, I made a call to Airbus China General Manager Chen Jumin.

He had to figure this out, otherwise he would feel like he wouldn't be able to sleep.

"Judging from past situations, the news released by Daystar Technology, even if it is unbelievable, ultimately proved to be true."

"Although the actual picture of Daystar 777 looks a little blurry this time, judging from the background, it should be taken at the production site."

"I think it should be a model or first prototype in their development stage."

Chen Jumin was naturally wondering about the meaning of the pictures released by Daystar Technology, so when Fabrice asked, he was able to give his own opinion.

But Fabrice was not satisfied with his reply.

According to Fabrice's understanding, this picture should be a fake, and this is the answer he wants.

"Venus Technology produced a prototype so quickly? This is too exaggerated."

"Normally, in the past two years, they may not even have finalized the design plan."

"If the prototype is produced directly without a plan, a series of problems will definitely be encountered at that time, and the cost of such development will be very high."

Fabris said according to his own experience.

However, Chen Jumin did not agree.

Of course, he would not directly refute it, but said tactfully: "Fabris, Venusstar Technology is the company with the highest technical level in China. Every year, there is a list of them in China's National Science and Technology Awards."

"I think whether it is true or false, the company needs to pay attention to it."

I reminded him, but Fabrice did not listen. If there is any new situation in the end, it is not Chen Jumin's responsibility.

But if he said nothing, Fabrice might blame him in the future.

"Do you have any way to find out the specific information from Venusstar Technology?"

"It is definitely not enough to rely on the content published on their official website for everything."

"We should have some employees poached by Venusstar Technology. Can we think of something from them?"

Fabris felt that he was in a passive position now.

He had to believe the information released by the opponent, but he felt that he could not believe it.

This made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"I'll try my best, but Venustech now produces a lot of military products, so they should be doing a good job of keeping secrets."

"Even if we contact the former employees, we may not be able to get any information."

Chen Jumin sighed in her heart. In fact, she didn't want to take this task.

But it seems that she can't not take it.

It's difficult!

...

Venustech naturally can't feel all the small moves of Airbus and Boeing.

As a representative of the relevant departments, Pan Jun has close communication with the security team of Venustech. He even helped coordinate and arrange some of these teams.

So he can know any situation at the first time.

"Mr. Cao, it seems that Boeing and Airbus are a little anxious now, and they are trying all kinds of ways to inquire about our intelligence."

"In the past few days, the security team has received information from several employees who have contacted them to inquire about the company's secrets."

Combining the communication with the security team of Venustech in the past two days, Pan Jun came to Cao Yang's office to discuss this matter with him.

"They have been making money for many years lying down in the past few years. Now they find that they have to stand up to make money, so they are naturally unhappy."

"The C919 project of Shanghai Commercial Aircraft Corporation did not progress very smoothly before, and they must have had their hands in it."

"The aircraft project in Japan has not yet produced results, which is also inseparable from Boeing."

"Now our Venus 777 is progressing smoothly, and it will soon bring real threats to Boeing and Airbus. The other party must be nervous."

"But no matter how they inquire, at most they can find out some information about the schedule."

"It is impossible to find out very specific technical conditions."

Nanshan Group's enterprises have been able to develop to this point, and naturally they have their own internal operating mechanism.

If the core secrets were stolen casually by others, the company would have collapsed long ago.

Besides, there are also the power of relevant departments to help keep it confidential. It is obviously very difficult for Boeing and Airbus to make a very big breakthrough.

The other party's actions can only show that Venus Technology is very strong and has attracted their attention.

"That's true. These international giants just can't stand us doing well."

"For so many years, it is really necessary for you, Mr. Cao, to promote 100% localization of various equipment and products."

"Otherwise, if America wants to deal with our companies, they can make us very uncomfortable by just using some tricks on equipment and chips."

"Now it's good. Even if the other party wants to use any tricks, it won't have much effect."

"Even these methods of suppression will promote the development of related industries in our country. They dare not use them easily."

When Pan Jun said this, his expression was quite emotional.

Over the years, he has been squatting on the Nanshan Group's enterprises as a contact window, and he has witnessed the development of various enterprises with his own eyes.

That feeling is still very strange.

"Although America has fewer means to use, as we become stronger, the other party's reaction will definitely be more intense."

"In the future, there may be some things we can't imagine."

Cao Yang will not simply think that America will stop and let China develop.

This is impossible.

Historically, any boss would not tolerate anyone threatening his position.

Even if the second in command emphasized that he did not threaten the boss, it was useless.
