Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

When employees do things well, the boss's task is very simple. Just prepare money. But spending money also requires skills, which can be said to be an art. Not only must you give money, but you must also make everyone feel comfortable. Polytechnic

Men have their own pride, and most people really can't handle it. This is also the fundamental reason why many companies lose a lot of talent after they succeed in starting a business.

As the chief engineer of the Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft, Mike Briffin has basically stayed in Saudi Arabia for the past two years. The performance of the current surface version of the Xiangjiang Monster has been stable; whether it is transportation capacity, speed, or practicality, it can

Remarkable. Before super large products are developed, it will definitely be enough.

Therefore, engineers are now focusing on desert and swamp versions of ground-effect aircraft. Although the environment in the sea is complex, the engine is not very demanding in other aspects except for moisture protection and preventing excessive salt content from accelerating engine aging. However, the desert version of ground-effect aircraft is not very demanding.

, but have to face a more complex environment. After the aircraft takes off, it is quite appropriate to describe it as flying dust. If the engine does not take sand prevention measures, the consequences will be disastrous.

At the same time, the swamp ground is very complicated, and it will fall directly without detection; if you want to fly, it is not impossible, but at least it is not that easy. All of this requires a higher technical level than the ocean version, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is newly developed.

Mike Briffen: "At present, desert and swamp versions of ground effect aircraft have been successfully developed. They are mainly used to fly on flat surfaces such as deserts and swamps. The aircraft is 54 meters long; has a wingspan of 26 meters; a dead weight of 160 tons; and a maximum take-off weight of 480 tons.

; Can carry 220 tons of cargo; the maximum flight altitude is 44 meters. It is equipped with 4 Black Cloud three-rotor Type 2 turbojet engines; the maximum flight speed is 480 kilometers per hour."

"Because many new materials are used, the titanium alloy density is reduced, making the cost only 35% of the Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft."

After hearing this, Bao Zixuan was still very satisfied; although the speed dropped significantly; flying close to the ground is much more complicated than flying over the sea. If the speed is too fast, it will easily destroy the aircraft and kill people. Therefore, the speed must not be too fast; normal cruising speed

, that is, 300 km/h; at least the pilot must be given enough reaction time.

The price of the Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft is US$80 million, and now the cost has dropped further. But the price must not be cheap, otherwise previous customers will be dissatisfied.

If compared with the Xiangjiang Monster, the price of the desert version of the ground-effect aircraft should be set at US$28 million. This price is reasonable, at least in terms of transportation capacity. And this aircraft is mainly aimed at Middle East countries such as Saudi Arabia and other places.

There won't be much sales.

Don’t set the price too rigidly, otherwise, no matter how rich the Middle Easterners are, they will definitely have big opinions.

It will be much more convenient to fly a desert version of the ground-effect aircraft to do anything in the desert; it is also in line with the character of a wealthy person.

Bao Zixuan: "Then the price is set at US$28 million per unit. The main reason is to let Saudi Arabia see Heiyun's sincerity. As for the sales volume, it doesn't matter."

"But those tycoon countries in the Middle East should bring us surprises."

After Mr. Bao finished speaking, several engineers on site laughed.

Wang Quanming knew that it was finally his turn. As the department with the least obvious advantages of Heiyun Group, the passenger aircraft manufacturing company was under great pressure. Currently, the absolute hegemon in the international market is Boeing; Airbus and McDonnell Douglas are comparable.

The comparison is much worse. In addition, there are regional aviation aircraft manufacturers such as Embraer and Bombardier. At the same time, Warsaw Pact countries will also purchase aircraft from the Soviet Union. This makes the market competition very fierce. As a rising star, Heiyun does not have the technical and cost advantages at all.

.

If it weren't for the advanced design concept and good aero-engine energy saving, it might not be recognized by the market. Business is business, and only temporary success can be achieved based on face; if you want long-term cooperation, the quality of the product itself must be excellent.

This is also the reason why Mr. Bao needs to cooperate with several other companies; after all, it is not that easy for Heiyun alone to gain a foothold in such a fiercely competitive passenger aircraft market.

Because of McDonnell Douglas and Motorola, the U.S. domestic market will not be squeezed out. With the addition of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the channel to enter the Japanese market has also been opened.

The existence of Heiyun Group has made the Asian and Middle Eastern markets unobstructed.

And since it is produced in the UK, the UK will definitely provide strong support. That means the starting point is very high, and the next step is to see how the product quality is. Since the first two prototypes were assembled at McDonnell Douglas in the United States, engineers from three other companies came over.

Not much; I didn’t learn much. After all, McDonnell Douglas has too many US military projects; the confidentiality is very high, and it’s really not that convenient.

If an engineer is really tricked and eventually arrested on espionage charges, it will be too late to cry. The U.S. military can do anything, but it must take precautions.

Recently, Wang Quanming has only been continuously upgrading the Black Cloud 919 medium-sized passenger aircraft and other extended models; as for the super-large passenger aircraft, he has to wait until the construction of the British factory is completed, stealing from the past.

Wang Quanming: "The passenger aircraft company is mainly conducting follow-up and extended development of the 919 model. At present, the 919h cargo aircraft has been successfully developed. In terms of fuel consumption alone, it saves 15% compared to passenger aircraft. It is definitely very competitive in the market."

"At the same time, research and development has also been carried out on 136-144-seat passenger aircraft, but this exhibition can only give a basic introduction, and subsequent test flights will be required before it can be launched into the market."

The passenger aircraft manufacturing sector has only just started. And there is not much experience to draw from. After all, the technology still needs to be in line with international standards.

People will fall into the misunderstanding that Heiyun Group can develop ground-effect aircraft, stealth combat bombers, and flying saucers; for them, passenger aircraft are nothing but simple.

However, the above three products have all the technical drawings of the Germans. It is a bit embarrassing to say that they are research and development. After all, only the engine has its own technology. That is because Bao Shoufu controls the direction of engine research and development in the next few decades; it is possible to call it imitation.

More appropriate.

And regarding passenger aircraft, all countries have very strict requirements. The airworthiness certificate alone is a difficult problem. It is not easy to obtain it just relying on Heiyun Group's own strength.

The casing of the Heiyun 919 passenger aircraft is produced by Laomaozi, and its aerodynamic layout has passed European and American reviews. In addition, Heiyun is indeed unique in the engine field. Even if the Americans are picky, they do not dare to deliberately make things difficult.

They also have to consider whether their own planes should pass through the Soviet airspace. If they deliberately embarrass the Soviet Union over trivial matters, then with the character of the old man, they will never tolerate them. Thinking that there is no need to find faults in the eggs is also giving them trouble.

Looking for trouble yourself.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Very good, regarding aviation; especially in terms of passenger aircraft, our foundation is still too weak. It is still very satisfying to achieve the current results. There is no need to worry too much, as long as Heiyun itself

The product is good enough and the price is affordable. I will definitely get orders. I have absolute confidence in this."

"The bonuses for engineers will definitely not be small."

"Everyone, although Xiangjiang can produce large objects such as passenger planes and aircraft, the production capacity is limited after all, so in the future it will only be used as a research and development site; and an emergency production factory."

"If you want to produce aircraft on a large scale and in batches, especially for passenger aircraft, you must build a new factory. Mr. Wang is an expert in this field. Let's see where it is more suitable. The group has a lot of land in Shanghai, China, and we can go back and look around.

"

"UFO and hh-01 ghost fighter factory, I plan to locate the factory in Fucaira. I hope you can overcome the difficulties and complete the task together. As for the ground effect aircraft factory, the current local production capacity in Xiangjiang; plus the desert production capacity in Saudi Arabia

The swamp version is definitely enough; there’s no need to consider anything else.”

It doesn't matter where the passenger plane is built, Western countries won't say much about where the factory is built. But if it really puts the flying saucer and stealth fighter factories on the Chinese mainland, whether people will agree is one thing; Western countries, especially the United Kingdom, will definitely not allow it.

With this kind of thing, Heiyun Group will be in a dilemma. It is better to do it in one step and place the strategic factory on its own territory in advance.

As a Heiyun employee, of course I know what kind of relationship Fucaira has with the boss. And even if I object, it’s useless. It’s better to do what the boss told me to do. I got a lot of benefits today, and not every boss is willing to give so much.

Stocks. Moreover, Hutchison Whampoa stock is a rare thing that even money cannot buy.

After hearing the opinions of several people, Bao Zixuan was very satisfied; he explained the details of the exhibition again before preparing to go back to his room.
