Chapter 58: Endless Exploration
In Lu Zheng's office, Joshua followed in.
"There's a Grumman Aircraft Company in Georgia that is in financial crisis, insolvent due to R&D, and is being collected by banks.
Their company's board of directors quoted $1.2 billion, not including $1.8 billion in debt, do we have the intention to take over?" he said and saw that Lu Zheng did not say anything, and continued: "In April '87, their company's new model obtained the FAA type certificate.
The new aircraft is primarily based on the Gulfstream III with an increase of about 40 percent range, a switch to a new engine to increase power, and reduce noise to comply with the new Federal Aviation Regulations. If we take it, it's estimated that another $1.5 billion will be invested. ”
Lu Zheng didn't speak, silently calculating in his heart, he needed to spend $4.5 billion to get it, but he didn't know what their company's technical strength was?
He asked, "Their company is in a hurry to sell?"
Joshua swears: "Yes, they are now mainly focusing on the development and production of luxury and large business jets. ”
Lu Zheng slapped the table and said, "Buy it, you can do it!" But after the acquisition is completed, I will make a request to continuously improve its safety factor. Although the plane is already safe, we still have to work hard in this direction. ”
Because for a long time in the future, many celebrities lost their lives due to planes, and Lu Zheng wanted to do his best to save them.
Or maybe it's also a kind of social nature that you have as a traverser.
Speaking of the plane crash, a certain string in Lu Zheng's mind was plucked, there is!
Harris, don't you have to travel?
You're really awesome, and I can't afford to mess with someone, but what if something happens to you?
Well, I'll make your flight enjoyable!
After saying that, he made a phone call to Peter and asked to meet him, and the other party readily agreed.
In Lu Zheng's office, Mary came over and poured Peter a cup of coffee and stepped back.
Lu Zheng saw Peter, who had not seen him for a few days and had obviously lost weight, and said in a low voice: "When the Harris family travels to take the 'Gulfstream', it is our opportunity!"
Peter was shocked when he heard this, he glanced at Lu Zheng in surprise, didn't say anything, and left directly.
Lu Zheng called Joshua and said, "You can put off the Grumman Aircraft Company matter for a while on the grounds of a business trip!
At the Lapland Iron and Steel Plant, you should set up an independent laboratory as soon as possible and set up a research institute, and I want them to focus on alloy steel in the future. We don't know how to make ordinary steel, that stuff doesn't have much technical content.
If you want money, you can budget directly, and I will sign it and allocate it to them. You can also convey my comments to my colleagues in the audit department and the finance department over there. ”
Ordinary steel is produced by everyone, and the competition is relatively fierce, and the result is low profits, all relying on output to pile up.
Alloy steel is different, because of the technical level and the limitation of patented technology, it has created its high profits.
Although the shipment volume is not large, with the continuous progress of society, the scope of use will become more and more extensive, and the sales volume will become larger and larger.
For example, the manganese silicon steel they have now is widely used in the manufacture of spring sheets, spring coils, etc., because of its particularly strong toughness, and is widely used in the machinery and electronics industry.
If the laboratory is strong, new steel can also be researched on the basis of manganese silicon steel to adapt to the new requirements brought about by the continuous development of society.
There are countless varieties of steel that can be derived from this one type of steel, and the point is that you have to keep researching it!
In fact, many materials are very interesting, if you mix them with different materials, you will produce new varieties, and different proportions will produce different varieties!
Any natural discipline is a wonderful thing, the focus is on how we can tap their potential, and what Lu Zheng has to do now is for Joshua to start arranging this.
In fact, in the 80s, the development of varieties involving a wide range of industrial fields and special material categories has reached its peak with the help of metallurgical process technology.
At that time, in the four-in-one relationship of chemical composition-process-structure-performance of steel, the dominance of the microstructure and microscopic fine structure of steel was highlighted for the first time, and it also showed that the basic research of low-alloy steel has become mature, and the alloy design is being carried out with unprecedented new concepts.
At present, there are thousands of alloy steel grades and tens of thousands of specifications in the world, and the output of alloy steel only accounts for about 10% of the total steel output, but it is an important metal material used in a large number of national economic construction and national defense construction.
Exploration is a waste of energy, Lu Zheng tried to make the scale of the laboratory continue to grow by constantly adding people and money, trying to get more results, and the exploration is endless!
Lu Zheng beckoned to the scum Hui and ordered: "You let Foxconn come to do the OEM of my mobile phone, the condition is that it must be produced in the mainland!" After speaking, he waved his hand.
Why did you choose Foxconn? Because at this time, Foxconn had already invested in building factories in Guangdong Province in the mainland, and the reason why it had to produce in the mainland was tantamount to making a modest contribution to the motherland in disguise.
People can't forget their roots!
Why don't you open the company in China? Lu Zheng thinks that the time is not yet ripe!
When he was waiting for "The Story of Spring" to be sung all over the country, when he was waiting for the old man who spoke Sichuan in China to make a speech when he inspected the south, and when the people in China further emancipated their minds, it was the time for him to enter the domestic market.
He knew that the Red Gang had close ties with the country, so letting the scum Hui do this would have twice the result with half the effort.

The secretary Cassie found for Lu Zheng arrived, a 27-year-old royal sister, who was helped by Brilliant Company and a person in the talent pool of Brilliant Company.
Bai Li, who used to work as the secretary of the board of directors of a multinational company, eventually lost her job due to personnel changes in the company, and has been in the reserve of Brilliant Company for more than a month.
He is about 173cm tall, professional wear, high heels, facial features make his face look slightly delicate, and he has short blond hair.
Lu Zheng sees that her temperament belongs to the decisive and capable type.
Cassie whispered that Bailey was married, but belonged to the Dink clan, so there was no need to worry about maternity leave or anything like that, and his husband was also a right-hand man of the trading company Woolf.
Lu Zheng felt that it didn't matter, on the contrary, he thought that the vacation that employees should have should not be deducted.
There is nothing wrong with two people working in the same company, one is a trading company, and the other is their own secretary.
Lu Zheng asked Cassie to take Bai Li to familiarize herself with the basic situation and main work of the company, and let her get to work as soon as possible.
In the next 11 months, I will begin to lay out the affairs of the glazed island country......
