Chapter 936: The Brazilians' Rigid Needs

Seeing Zhuang Jianye smiling so happily, Xiao Tong pondered for a moment and spoke softly again: "However, Brazilians seem to be more interested in our Thunderbolt-120 long-endurance technology, and a few days ago, Crildo, vice president of Brazilian Aerospace Industries, who came to China to deliver the next year's ERJ-140 series regional airliner production plan, just called me through his consultant and asked how much does it cost to introduce the full set of production technology of the Thunderbolt-120 long-endurance UAV?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Jianye didn't even feel surprised for a moment, and nodded his head while congratulating the staff of the launch center with a smile that did not decrease: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, everything will be easy to say when Kril comes!"

With Zhuang Jianye's approval, Xiao Tong naturally went down to inform the Brazilian side, and Zhuang Jianye and Liang Xiaoping were invited by the leaders of the launch center to the stage to deliver a speech on the success of the launch.

After speaking, the podium was removed, replaced with a signing table, and the representative of Motorola was invited to start the satellite delivery ceremony in orbit.

The total price is 160 million US dollars, and it took so much effort that even Zhuang Jianye's old face was exposed in the live broadcast, so he naturally had to settle down.

As for the celebration banquet afterwards, relax karaoke, and come back to your senses for a supper in the middle of the night...... In short, on this day, Zhuang Jianye is busy from beginning to end.

......

Compared with Zhuang Jianye's busyness, located in Beijing, Crierdo, who has just confirmed the production share distribution plan of next year's ERJ-140 series regional airliner with the domestic aviation industry group, as well as the supply of core spare parts for this model in China, although not as busy as Zhuang Jianye, is no less excited than Zhuang Jianye, who is sending satellites into space at the moment.

On the one hand, the ERJ-140 series of regional airliners has indeed sold well in the past two years, not only breaking the monopoly of Bombardier CRJ in the jet regional airliner market, but also occupying a considerable market share in Asia, the Americas and Europe.

As a result, the regional airliner market has transformed from a monopoly to a two-man hegemony.

After all, the ERJ-140 series regional airliner is a mature TRJ-500 vest product, and its performance is no less than Bombardier's CRJ-200, and in some respects even stronger than Bombardier's CRJ-200.

Not to mention others, Ascendas Group almost controls the entire industrial chain from R&D to production of ERJ-140 series regional airliners, and the cost can be infinitely compressed, which Bombardier Canada can't catch up.

And this also gives the ERJ-140 series of regional airliners unparalleled cost performance, even if they do not fight for performance, the majority of price wars, Brazilians can push Bombardier.

Based on this, it is expected that next year EMS will deliver 260 ERJ-140 family regional airliners, which is already significantly more than Embraer's capacity, and although the Brazilian government has invested in the construction of new aircraft production plants, it will take three to five years to complete.

At this stage, 120 of them can only be transferred to other places, of which 40 will be arranged for production at the Brazilian aerospace industry branch in Spain, and the remaining 80 will be handed over to China.

One of the purposes of Criardo's visit to China this time is to implement the production plan of the 80 ERJ-140 series regional airliners.

Originally, Crierdo wanted to hand over this part of the production plan to the production alliance led by the Tengfei Group, but the problem is that next year, the production alliance led by the Tengfei Group will deliver 280 domestic ERJ-140 series regional airliners, which is more than Brazil's orders, plus it has to deal with the supply of core spare parts for almost all ERJ-140 series regional airliners at home and abroad.

The production capacity of Ascendas Group is full, and there is no energy to cope with the rest of the production orders.

However, Zhuang Jianye pointed out a direction to Cleriardo, asking him to find the leaders of the aviation department, and the industrial alliance led by the Tengfei Group is concentrated in the southwest and northwest; but there are still many aviation companies in the central, eastern, and northeast parts of the country, and it should not be a problem to digest the 80 orders.

According to what Zhuang Jianye said, after inspecting the northeast and eastern parts of the country, he felt that the foundation of other domestic aviation enterprises was quite good, and they could build a plate of 80 planes, which would facilitate the leaders of the aviation industry to formally sign an agreement, establish a joint venture company, and put into production export-oriented ERJ-140 series regional airliners.

Such a big event has already made Cleildo very comfortable, but he didn't expect a unique live broadcast of space launch to make him unexpectedly encounter a bigger surprise.

Thunderbolt-120 long-endurance drone.

According to Zhuang Jianye, it can last 120 hours in the sky, so as to continuously detect the meteorological conditions of an area like a satellite.

This may be an astonishment for others, but it is a rare necessity for Brazil.

You must know that Brazil is the most powerful country in Latin America, and in the early years, it was ambitious to put forward the Brazilian version of the two bombs and one satellite plan, although it failed for various reasons in the end, but the old foundation was not lost.

In the field of aerospace again, the original long-range missile program has been slightly changed to become another fist product in the hands of Brazilian Aerospace Industries, the VLS launch vehicle.

Otherwise, the full name of Embrasil would not be marked with the word "aerospace", because they have the ability to develop, manufacture and independently launch VLS launch vehicles.

Although the carrier quality is not high, and it can only carry out low-earth orbit launch missions, it is one of the few solid-fuel launch vehicles in the world that can be launched quickly.

Because of this, once launched, it immediately attracted the attention of the international launch market.

One of the reasons is that Brazil's own launch support level is too poor, especially meteorological support, so far Brazilians do not even have a meteorological satellite of their own, coupled with the Brazilian tropical rainforest climate, the storm is said to come, God does not play cards according to common sense at all, there is no long-endurance high-altitude aircraft to implement, and the number is not allowed to God's pulse at all.

Therefore, the launch window of Brazil's space flight is extremely unpredictable, so much so that several test launches of the VLS carrier rocket have failed due to weather conditions.

Of course, Brazilians have not thought of getting a meteorological satellite to improve the launch success rate of VLS launch vehicles, but the problem is that Brazil does not have the ability to develop this in its own country, and the expensive foreign satellites of the same kind can silence men and shed tears for women.

Take the quotation of Hughes Company of the United States as an example, the cost of a 500-kilogram low-configuration meteorological satellite alone will reach 350 million US dollars, and the cost of launching and debugging in the United States will be almost 1 billion US dollars.

So it's not that Brazilians don't want it, but they are too scared to want it.

Just when they were almost dead because of the terrifying price, Zhuang Jianye suddenly took out the Thunderbolt-120 long-endurance drone, and Krildo's eyes lit up immediately, and he almost held the TV and shouted directly: I want it, I want it, I want it......
