Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Seeing the state of Governor Youde and his entourage, Bao Shaofu was very satisfied. Especially when I saw the appearance of Cromwell Sidley, I immediately understood what the British meant. British Aerospace was a major customer of Rolls-Royce. Although Bao Zixuan had never met Cromwell Sidley, he had seen his photo on the company's cultural wall when communicating with British Aerospace in the past.

The Siddeley family is very famous in the British aviation industry, at least no worse than the Rolls-Royce family, and may even be better. It's just that Rolls-Royce also has a car brand, which makes it more well-known to the public. Cromwell-Siddeley is also a master of technology, and with his family background, he can definitely influence Downing Street's decision-making on aircraft.

Since there are knowledgeable people here, it will be easier to handle. After all, the cultural relics in the British Museum are not that easy to get.

With a look from Bao Zixuan, the engineering and technical staff began to introduce the performance of the Black Cloud UFO. I heard that this aircraft in front of me can fly up to an altitude of 12,000 meters, and can also fly at close to the speed of sound. Most importantly, it can be invisible under radar; it is definitely a weapon for sieges and sneak attacks.

Although ground-effect aircraft can also achieve this effect, they are too bulky; and their flying altitude is too low, so they can attack seaside cities. But if you want to go deep into inland cities, it’s not that convenient.

But the flying saucer in front of me is not that troublesome. As long as you enter the coordinates, you can start taking action immediately. In the future, various countries will inevitably gradually reduce the size of their armies. This is a general trend; this will be even more true for the British Empire. The financial capacity is limited. If we maintain a large army, sooner or later the domestic economy will be brought down.

The scale can be reduced, but the quality must be improved. Otherwise, once the enemy comes, you may not even be able to parry. The product in front of me is very suitable, at least in line with the military's move towards high-end, precision and cutting-edge aspects.

Seeing Cromwell Sidley's expression move, Yoder immediately understood what he meant. The person in front of me is very interested and hopes to get the relevant technology and production line of this product. Unlike ground-effect aircraft, the scale of equipment will not be too large. After the saucer-shaped aircraft enters service, it can completely replace helicopters. The procurement quantity of the military in various countries will definitely not be small.

Youde smiled and said: "Mr. Bao, I was just chatting and forgot to introduce you."

"This is Cromwell Siddeley, from the British Aerospace Corporation;"

At the same time, he said to Cromwell Sidley: "I don't need to introduce this, Mr. Bao Zixuan, chairman of Heiyun Group and the richest man in Hong Kong."

In fact, it was a coincidence that Cromwell Sidley came to Xiangjiang; the other party was not for business or vacation, but came to attend the wedding of an old friend's child.

He had a good relationship with Simon Keswick, and his daughter was getting married; he had also sent him an invitation, so of course he wanted to come and attend. Bao Zixuan often receives invitations like this, but more often than not they send people over to deliver congratulatory gifts, and the number of times they attend is less and less.

Even if the relationship between the two parties is normal, the area of ​​Xiangjiang is too small; they are both tycoons, so they still have to give each other face.

After finally coming to Xiangjiang, I definitely want to visit other old friends. Governor-General Youde, as the number one British figure in Hong Kong, felt compelled to pay a visit out of necessity. This is also a matter of politeness, and the British still attach great importance to this.

Although he has recognized the other party for a long time, he cannot show it too obviously. Bao Zixuan stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Sidley. Welcome to Xiangjiang. You are also majoring in aviation. I believe there will be a lot of topics between us."

Cromwell Sidley was not surprised that Bao Zixuan had heard of him. British Aerospace Corporation is also somewhat famous in the world, and it has also developed many achievements. Although it is not as famous as Bao Zixuan, many people in the aviation industry still know it. The richest man in Xiangjiang Bao is not only an entrepreneur, but also an aerospace engineer. You should have heard of all the famous aviation figures in the world.

Cromwell Sidley didn't dare to neglect him. When people are polite to you, you can't really treat yourself like a green onion. He immediately stretched out his hand to shake it with Bao Zixuan, and said with a smile: "Mr. Bao is really too polite to communicate with you; I believe that no engineer in the world will refuse."

Seeing that Cromwell Sidley, who didn't even take him seriously, was so polite to Bao Zixuan, Youde really didn't know what to say. Although the Siddeley family was not considered an established powerhouse in the British Empire, it was definitely at the top of the nouveau riche. Coupled with Cromwell-Siddeley's personal achievements, they did have the right to be proud.

People still need to be reciprocal when communicating with each other. At this moment, Bao Zixuan is more popular than Youde; not only externally, but also the British think so. This governor is indeed cowardly, but this is his job; even if he is unwilling, there is nothing he can do.

Bao Zixuan: "The super-large aircraft projects of Motorola, McDonnell Douglas, Mitsubishi Group, and Black Cloud Group in the UK are about to be put into production. British Aerospace Corporation has given us a lot of help, so I want to pay a visit next time I go to the UK. . I didn’t expect to see Mr. Sidley in Xiangjiang today. It seems that we are still very destined."

When Bao Zixuan chose to invest and build a factory in the UK, it was not just to save face and give the British an explanation. The most important thing is that the British are indeed unique in the field of aerospace. The supporting facilities are quite complete and will not lose to the United States in many aspects. However, due to local market restrictions, the number of orders is not as good as that of American companies.

When purchasing an aircraft, you not only need to look at technical parameters such as product quality and performance, but you also need to consider political issues. American Airlines, if you want more support. Then we must first consider purchasing products from domestic aviation manufacturing companies, so that not only can we get tax exemptions, but government support will not be too bad either.

It is best not to talk about fair trade at this time. There is no fairness in the world itself. It is very difficult for any country in Europe to establish a large passenger aircraft manufacturing company. However, the technical level of each country is not bad, so it is the most appropriate choice to set up a company in which all countries participate and own shares in the company.

Although Heiyun Group broke this rule, fortunately, American companies and Japanese companies participated; in addition, it built a factory in the UK, making the market prospects even broader. If Heiyun Group and his family were to do this, unless the Chinese mainland market really rises, there will definitely be no benefits in a short time.

British Aerospace cannot produce very large passenger aircraft on its own, but it is an Airbus supplier after all, and it is one of the most important suppliers. It is definitely a remarkable enterprise in the field of aviation accessories. It is reasonable to become a supplier of four United Airlines.

Cromwell Sidley said with a smile: "Next time Mr. Bao comes to England, please tell me in advance that I have a few bottles of good wine at home. We will get drunk and then rest; it will also allow me to fulfill my duty as a landlord." .”

Anyone who knows a little bit about him knows that Mr. Bao likes to drink, so he probably can only start from this aspect. After all, besides drinking, I really can’t find any other hobbies. However, there is one thing Bao Zixuan still pays attention to, and that is safety. Not drinking everyone’s wine, it’s a precautionary measure.

But everyone said that for this reason, he couldn't be too affectionate.

Bao Zixuan: "You really don't have to wait until you go to England to drink, you can go to Xiangjiang. When you go to England, you have to show your friendship as a landlord, but here is Xiangjiang. I am a native of Xiangjiang, and as the host, I will just show you my friendship as a landlord first." "

Many things should not be too direct. It may be better to say it over the wine table.

Not everyone can receive Bao Zixuan's invitation, and it's hard to refuse when someone is so polite.

Youde smiled and said, "It seems we are in for a treat today. I heard that Mr. Bao has collected a lot of good wine in recent years."

Hearing that Yoder wanted to participate, Cromwell Siddeley couldn't refuse.

It's still early, so we still need to give customers a detailed introduction to the performance of the flying saucer. Good products also need to be packaged well, and language is also a kind of packaging.

As he got to know him better, Cromwell Sidley became more and more impressed by Bao Zixuan. With the current technical strength of British Aerospace Corporation, it is absolutely impossible to produce this product. Not only the design concept, but also the processing accuracy does not meet the requirements.

So the only way to produce this aircraft is to follow the Americans and purchase technology and production lines from Heiyun. If BAE alone is left to figure it out on its own, the military will never be able to afford the time required. No wonder Americans came over to introduce production lines and technology. It’s not that easy for them to produce it themselves.

Before, I felt that the rise of Heiyun Group was more due to luck. After all, the most profitable industries are not in cutting-edge products such as aerospace. Now it seems that Bao Zixuan's layout is so far-reaching; it makes huge profits from games, electronics, computers, automobiles and other products, and then subsidizes the aviation industry. When the product matures, it will be gradually introduced to the market.

The young man in front of him is really terrifying. You must know that he is not yet 30 years old. If you give him a few years, it will be unimaginable what the scale of Heiyun Group will be.
