Zhuang Jianye can see other things, but in terms of industrial software and design, he really can't get by.

It's not a question of how much money to invest, but because Tengfei Group was stuck in the neck in this field and almost knelt down in humiliation.

In the second year when Tengfei Group put forward the concept of Industry 3.0 and advocated that all fields in China should unite to move forward in the direction of digitalization, the CATIA-V2 version of the French Dassault company's CATIA-V2 version software obtained by Tengfei Group's isomorphic H Company could not meet the latest aviation design requirements due to the low version, so it wanted to introduce the latest V3 version to improve the design capability of Tengfei Group.

However, at that time, Tengfei Group and its partner H Company had more and more differences, and finally turned against each other and began to fight in the field of drones.

In the end, Tengfei Group crushed Company H with absolute strength, but it is not easy for Tengfei Group to stand alone in this fierce competition, after all, the competition between Tengfei Group and Company H has made European and American aviation giants see the potential of drones.

Immediately entered in a big way, H Company was wiped clean by General Motors, the founder died in an unknown way, Tengfei Group escaped because of national reasons, but Zhuang Jianye through Evans and Owen started the Action Aviation Systems Company was not so lucky, they were targeted by the French company Dassault.

For this kind of core enterprise of a big country, one of the five major international rogues, it is not difficult to understand the logical chain behind the actor aviation systems, and soon found the figure of Tengfei Group, and then Dassault pinched the throat of Tengfei Group in CATIA software.

If you want the V3 version, you can, you can package and sell the Zeus-3 UAV and the small pulsation production line technology to Dassault Systèmes, otherwise you want the V3 version?

It's not that Dassault completely blocked the CATIA software for Ascendas, Ascendas can still use it, and even the V3 version can also be sold to Ascendas Group, and even the price is more favorable, but for Ascendas Group, Dassault's approach is even more uncomfortable than directly blocking.

The latest V3 version is available to you, and the price is negotiable, but it is not a complete version but a simplified version that has been castrated by Dassault.

That is to say, many professional databases and design codes related to aviation are not available at all for Dassault to Ascendas Group.

The core of computer-aided design software like CATIA is the database and design code, with which designers can click the mouse in front of the computer, and all kinds of components can be automatically generated, otherwise they have to pick up the drawing pen and draw repeatedly on the drawings while doing all kinds of complicated calculations and experiments.

That's it, if you don't give Tengfei Group, you have the ability to block all the CATIA software in China, and Zhuang Jianye will be happy.

Da Soo didn't do this, and while giving Ascendas a castrated version, he sold the full V3 version to Northwest Airlines Plant and Binjiang Aviation Manufacturing Company.

One of these two units produces the Y-8, which is directly benchmarked against the Y-15 series of the Tengfei Group, and the Y-12 developed by the other is in de facto competition with the TM-9 of the Tengfei Group.

In this way, Dassault's approach is self-evident, that is, to let the other two domestic aviation manufacturing companies and Tengfei Group tear each other apart, and Dassault stands outside with his hands on his chest, watching the three beasts in the iron cage kill you to death.

Zhuang Jianye is well aware of Dassault's sinister intentions, but the Northwest Aviation Plant and Binjiang Aviation Manufacturing Company are indifferent to this.

No, they can see it, but what they want to do more is to monopolize the domestic large aircraft and general aviation market, so compared with Dassault's design software, Tengfei Group, a disruptor, is a thorn in their side.

External giants are stuck in key areas, and there are friends to launch fierce industrial competition, and Tengfei Group instantly encounters a situation of being attacked by the enemy.

At that time, Ascendas Group did not think of looking for solutions from other places, such as obtaining the same type of industrial design software as CATIA from the United States at a high price.

The problem is that similar software in the United States is not as open as CATIA, and all the software that is stronger than CATIA is prohibited.

There is no way, Americans are so urine, thinking that monopoly is to completely monopolize from the root, so many very powerful industrial design software is only owned by giants such as Boeing, Loma, and Norge, and others can only peek at a hint from the black technology products they produce, and it is not known how at all, but can only be known in these giants raising the price of products again and again, and the ability of these software is very powerful.

In fact, it is true, take Boeing's Boeing 767 passenger aircraft as an example, the full design uses more than 9,000 sets of software for computer-aided design, but only less than 1,000 sets are open commercial design software, and the remaining more than 8,000 sets are all high-performance software developed by Boeing itself, so that the unit price of Boeing 767 exceeds 100 million US dollars.

However, this has nothing to do with Tengfei Group, because if you can't get powerful aerospace industry design software, you will either watch your own inefficiency and the market be carved up by your friends, or you can only grovel and compromise with foreign giants.

In the end, Zhuang Jianye chose the latter, and sold the actor aeronautical systems company to Dassault Systèmes along with the Zeus-3 drone and the pulsation production line for small aircraft.

The total value is only a measly $2.5 billion.

It was completely a cheap sale, but even so, Dassault still did not give up knocking on the bamboo bar of Tengfei Group, and in the end only paid 500 million US dollars, and the rest was exchanged for other technologies and products.

For example, the latest V4 version of the CATIA software is a trial model, as well as the French aviation anti-submarine sonar, magnetic detection rods, electronic warfare countermeasures, radar guidance systems, integrated navigation systems and communication systems......

All in all, they are some products that are not the most advanced for France, and it is not a cost to lose them to Ascendas.

Tengfei Group used these technologies to develop an external mission pod for the improved An-26 for the incoming army, which indirectly improved the Navy's mission support capabilities.

It can be regarded as making up for the losses of Tengfei Group from other aspects.

However, the shame given by Dassault is unforgettable from top to bottom of the Tengfei Group, especially Zhuang Jianye, after reaching a so-called "historic settlement" with Dassault Group, he published an article entitled "Our Crisis Has Just Begun" within the Tengfei Group.

While reviewing the development of Tengfei Group, it revealed the shortcomings and deficiencies within the group, and warned the group that the past achievements have become history, and the group should change its thinking, start anew, and let today's bow become tomorrow's stride.

Immediately, Ascendas Group took advantage of the inflation of 1988 to start a new round of internal reform and business adjustment, improve the commercial conversion rate of aviation technology, highlight the supporting facilities in the infrastructure field, and expand the share of the medical field.

Zhuang Jianye even incarnated the faceless and skinless Zhou Papi, began to make crazy money, and then smashed money in three directions according to the ratio of 1:1:1, one is aero engine, one is high-end aviation materials, and the last one is the industrial design software that made Tengfei Group humiliated!
