Chapter 548: The Old Roots of the Tengfei Group
Zhuang Jianye never expected that interviewing a technician with a helicopter background would actually recruit Professor Zhao, an authoritative figure in the domestic helicopter field.
For a while, I didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Needless to say, no matter whether the production of helicopters can be achieved or not, as long as Professor Zhao can come, it will be an affirmation of Tengfei Group.
As for worrying, there is no way, the old professor is almost eighty people, and he rushed to Xiping by train from the capital for three days and two nights, although Tong Xia bought a sleeper through various relationships, but after staying up on the train for so long, not to mention an old man, even a young and strong young man can't stand it.
It's a pity that when Zhuang Jianye knew the news, Professor Zhao and Tong Xia had already gotten off at Xiping Railway Station, otherwise Zhuang Jianye would definitely send a plane to the capital to pick up this authoritative old expert.
You must know that at this time, the fleet size of the general aviation team under the Tengfei Group has 12 aircraft, in addition to the three Plateau Eagle A used to test engines, six of the remaining nine are Plateau Eagle B and three Plateau Eagle C.
Among them, the Plateau Eagle B is mainly used for the transportation of spare parts between Tengfei Group, in order to enhance the efficiency of the supply chain within the group, and the remaining three Plateau Eagle C are open to the market to undertake some civil aviation transportation tasks, and if necessary, they will also receive some important leaders or foreign businessmen according to the group's arrangements.
According to Professor Zhao's status in the field of helicopters, he is fully worthy of Zhuang Jianye's special plane to arrange the group's pick-up, but it's a pity that this old man doesn't give you a chance to prepare at all, just take the train, sing songs, and come all the way.
When Zhuang Jianye and others arrived at the station to pick him up, Professor Zhao did not forget to ridicule: "What kind of hard work is this, I think when I was in the Southwest Associated University, when the big guy was strategically transferred, he was chased and bombed by the little devil's plane, I carried a box of science materials, and ran wildly, and when I arrived in southern Yunnan, I only had less than 90 catties left in my 120 catties, and I didn't come over." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Zhuang Jianye, who was driving in person, and said with a smile: "So don't worry about me, I'm lying quietly on the train, but I can't be suffocated, I just got off the car, let's go to the factory to eat something casually and take a look, hehe, Xiaozhuang, I haven't heard much about your Tengfei Group in the capital, there are praises and disadvantages, so I'm going to take a look at what your factory is like this time, how is it?
Professor Zhao is full of white hair, slightly fat, smiles very kindly, and speaks a little out-of-the-box, a bit of an old child's taste, especially these words to Zhuang Jianye, which are neither pretentious nor hypocritical, and there is no lack of sharpness and humor in the straightforwardness.
Zhuang Jianye also laughed, changed gears easily, and glanced at Wu Ping beside him, Wu Ping naturally understood what Zhuang Jianye meant, turned around and persuaded: "Teacher, you can rest for a day first, the guest house has been arranged for you, and it is not too late to go tomorrow when you are well recuperated." ”
"I just want to get a good night's sleep and want to pass, otherwise if you let me guard a company that is praised to the sky in the capital and degraded to the underground, I will really lose sleep at night. ”
Saying that, Professor Zhao nodded thoughtfully: "En~~~ Absolutely, if you want me, an old man, to have two dark circles under his eyes tomorrow and look like an old panda, then I have nothing to say, anyway, I'm so old, and no one wants to want it." ”
Before the words fell, he reached out and patted Zhuang Jianye's shoulder: "Xiaozhuang, do you think I am right?"
The old professor said so, what else could Zhuang Jianye do, he could only nod frequently: "In Li'er, in Li'er." ”
Then the steering wheel turned, and the road to the guest house was changed to the direction of Xipingchang.
After a simple lunch in the canteen at noon, Professor Zhao couldn't wait to follow Zhuang Jianye into the Xiping factory, and saw the chemical milling equipment, laser mold room and water cutting workshop and other plants.
As for Tong Xia, who was following alongside, she was even more expressionless while watching and recording, and there was not even the slightest ripple on her ordinary face, you must know that the previous process surprised many leaders and experts, including the head of the headquarters and Director Zhao.
But Professor Zhao seems to ......
"The teacher has been a technical consultant for the introduction of French 'Dolphin' helicopters before, and has participated in many rounds of negotiations with the French side on the introduction of technology and equipment procurement. ”
Seeing that Zhuang Jianye was puzzled at the beginning because he didn't shock his teacher, Wu Ping hurriedly took advantage of the teacher's and sister's inattention and whispered a reminder: "And Tong Xia was the teacher's French technical translator at that time." ”
Zhuang Jianye immediately suddenly said, why are you so calm, it turns out that he is a person who has seen the world.
It is no wonder that the French "Dolphin" helicopter, which later became the Z-9 helicopter, although it was only a light helicopter of the 4-ton class, was still a high-quality product with good performance in the eighties.
In particular, the materials, processes, and technologies used above are unheard of and unseen in China, and there are many things that Zhuang Jianye just took Professor Zhao and others to visit.
At this moment, Zhuang Jianye finally understood that the sentence "brightening the family's background" that Professor Zhao said on the road before was not a joke, but a real need.
So Zhuang Jianye frowned slightly and began to groan.
Wu Ping, who was on the side, also chuckled in his heart, he didn't know that his teacher would come over, for fear that this stubborn old professor would provoke Zhuang Jianye, a famous young marshal in the aviation industry.
You know, he is an easy-going teacher, and he doesn't pay much attention to his daily life, but if he calls it true, he is also a master who goes all the way to the black, and because of this, he often angers the leader in many things, otherwise with Professor Zhao's rank, it is impossible to be a professor in the university alone.
Because of his understanding, Wu Ping could see that Professor Zhao came here this time to pick up the old foundation of Tengfei Group.
As for the starting point, I didn't say anything, I just wanted to see if Tengfei Group had the ability to support helicopter production, so as to give the Z-6 a new life, and lay a precedent for China's independent development and production of helicopters.
This is the greatest wish that Professor Zhao has been striving for for so many years, otherwise I would not have often said that I would not see the helicopter we developed and produced by ourselves off the assembly line, and I would really not be able to turn a blind eye.
But the problem is that the starting point is good, but Zhuang Jianye doesn't know, even if he knows, some things at the bottom of the box are very complicated, and they may not be touched at Professor Zhao's level.
What to do?
Wu Ping knew that he couldn't persuade Professor Zhao at all, so he could only work Zhuang Jianye, and he couldn't let the two of them be on top because of this matter, so he made up his mind Wu Ping was ready to continue to whisper to Zhuang Jianye, but as soon as his words reached his lips, Professor Zhao, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and spoke first: "Xiaozhuang, if your Tengfei Group is so wealthy, I think the praise of you in the capital is a bit exaggerated." ”
When Wu Ping heard this, the whole person immediately became nervous, no matter what, he didn't expect Professor Zhao to fire at this time, so he quickly turned his head to look at Zhuang Jianye, wanting to help explain a few sentences, but before he could speak, Zhuang Jianye laughed: "Since this is the case, then please go over here and take a look at the electron beam welding machine in our factory." ”
As soon as these words came out, Professor Zhao's squinting old eyes suddenly widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Does your factory have an electron beam welding machine?"
