Chapter 236: Two Little Dogs (4000 Words)
"No problem, right?" Walking in Anderson's office, Chen Geng asked Anderson.
Anderson, who was wearing a work uniform, shook his head: "No problem, but boss, the airworthiness certification of aero engines is difficult, right?"
Engine research and development, Anderson does not think there is a problem, although Fernandez company has no experience in the development of piston aero engines before, it seems difficult to develop a qualified aero engine, but fortunately the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States on the management of light and very light aircraft: FAR-23 gives detailed regulations on every detail of the aircraft, specific to the engine, the maximum speed running time of the engine, the cruising speed running time, Emergency measures in the event of an aerial stop...... As long as it operates in strict accordance with the provisions of FAR-23, there is no problem at all in developing a qualified aero engine.
What Anderson really worries about is the airworthiness certification of the engine, which is difficult to hear.
Patting Anderson on the shoulder, Chen Geng smiled: "Are you worried that Lycoming will stumble on us?"
"Lycoming is an absolute giant in the field of piston aero engines...... "Anderson worries.
His worries are not unreasonable, Lycoming has reached an astonishing 60% market share in the piston aero engine market segment, Rotax and Continental occupy more than 30%, and the remaining ten or so small companies can only eat some leftovers from the Big Three.
Chen Geng smiled: "Your worries are not unreasonable, but what kind of engines are the three engines that we are preparing for certification in advance? Do you think these three engines can arouse Lycomingming's vigilance?"
Anderson suddenly realized!
Yes, among these three engines, the largest displacement is only 1050CC, barely compared to the level of Lycoming's entry-level piston aero engine, with Lycoming's customer relations and marketing network accumulated over the years, even the most optimistic people will not think that such an engine can arouse Lycomingming's vigilance, right?
The expression on his face suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Moreover," Chen Geng continued, "it is true that Lycoming is an absolute giant in the single market segment of piston aero engines, but how big is the whole market? How much does Lycoming sell in a year? ”
And, buddy, I never wanted to dominate the piston aero engine market.
However, Chen Geng didn't plan to tell Anderson about this, for fear of scaring him.
Anderson didn't know this, but with his boss's words, he finally put his mind at ease, nodded and said, "I'm relieved if you have a plan...... Boss, I plan to double the size of our technical R&D team in the next six months. ”
He was really frightened by his boss's whimsical style: the automatic transmission said it would be on the horse, and when no one knew it, he suddenly decided to launch the aero engine - albeit piston - who could guarantee what the boss would plan next?
"Doubled?" Chen Geng frowned.
Anderson thought that the boss was unhappy, and felt that there were too many people recruited, so he quickly explained: "Didn't you say that Huaxia is the focus of our company in the future, and when our company's business scale in Huaxia expands again, it is inevitable to send a technical team to Huaxia, the scale of our R&D team is relatively small, and if we send personnel, manpower will be even more stretched, so my idea is ......"
Chen Geng waved his hand: "I mean, are you sure that doubling the existing scale can really meet the needs of the company's development?"
Anderson was stunned, blinked a few times, and asked cautiously, "Boss, what do you ......mean?"
"I mean, double the size?" he shook his head, "No, it's not enough!
Doubling the existing scale is not enough?!
Anderson was frightened by his boss's words: the size of Fernandez's entire technical research and development team has now reached nearly 300 people, and almost more than 90% of the personnel are from the automotive industry.
He said in a trembling voice: "Boss, the size of the team is not as big as possible, it must match the existing business scale of our company, if the R&D and engineering and technical teams really want to reach the scale of seven or eight hundred people, will our business grow explosively, and the annual profits will be eaten up to at least one-third!"
He has just proposed to double the size of the R&D team, but in fact, he is just habitually trying to bargain with his boss in this way, and his goal is to double the size of the existing technical team by 30% to 40?
He hadn't even thought about it.
Chen Geng nodded: "I know." ”
Anderson was stunned, but the next moment, he became excited: since the boss had taken all of this into account, then......
"A year, at most a year, our company's overseas business will usher in a big explosion, as for the business in the United States, as our modified cars are gradually introduced to the market, I am ready to launch a car that truly belongs to our company. ”
After trembling twice, Anderson hurriedly asked, "You're not talking about that toy-like car, are you?"
Chen Geng smiled: "What?
The toy-like car that Anderson said was a van with a 0.9L inline twin-cylinder engine that was going to be sold to the Jialing factory, and in the eyes of Americans, this kind of single-compartment structure and engine displacement of less than one liter of the car is indeed similar to a toy.
"No, no," Anderson hurriedly waved his hand, "I mean...... It's ......"
His face flushed.
He did look down on this little car in his heart.
In Chen Geng's opinion, it is normal for Anderson to have such a reaction, he nodded casually, not annoyed, but said: "Believe it or not, at most three years, in Huaxia, this car can be sold at least 20,000 units a year." ”
20,000 a year?
Anderson's mouth closed in shock: This is too exaggerated, isn't it?
No matter how cheap it is, when the sales scale reaches a certain level, the profit is objective, not to mention that this thing is still a car after all, a real car, even if it sells for 2000...... 2,500 US dollars a bar, annual sales of 20,000 units, that is also 50 million US dollars in sales, net profit conservatively estimated at 4 million US dollars, and it is said that there is also a motorcycle project in cooperation with Huaxia Jialing factory, if everything goes well, a profit of 6 million US dollars a year can be expected.
I haven't calculated it in detail before, but now that I count it so much, Anderson's mouth is getting wider and wider: for any company, a market that can make a net profit of $6 million a year is a market that is worth treating carefully, and a complete technical team like this market is not only necessary, but also necessary.
Looking at Anderson, whose mouth was getting bigger and bigger, Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "Where is this, if I tell you that in five years at most, we can sell 50,000 cars and at least 100,000 motorcycles in Huaxia a year, and the net profit created for us every year will exceed 20 million! You say, is this market worth paying attention to?"
Is it worth the attention?
Of course it's worth it, it's worth it.
After nodding heavily, Anderson couldn't help but ask, "Boss, why haven't the Huaxia people come yet?"
........................
The Chinese people who were remembered by Anderson came, not only came, but also came with a very high-standard inspection team.
In the inspection team, there are not only Sun Shoupeng, the director of the Jialing Factory, Chen Xingming, the chief engineer, Professor Song Jingying of the Department of Automotive Engineering of Huaqing University, Hu Liang, the director of the Automobile Bureau of the first-class department, and Ding Haijun, the minister of the embassy, accompanied by the envoy of the embassy, the total number of the inspection team is 17 people, as for the gifts they gave to Chen Geng, in addition to the cubs of the two little Chinese pastoral dogs that Chen Geng has been thinking about when he went to China last time, there are many, many iron bumps......
That's right, they are to Chen Geng to send samples of auto parts, after a few months of running-in, Chen Geng was selected by Chen Geng to manufacture these agricultural machinery systems and automotive system spare parts manufacturers, finally produced parts that meet Chen Geng's requirements, the next thing Chen Geng has to do is to send these spare parts to the testing agency for testing, as long as they can pass the test, Fernandez company can officially sell these auto parts products from Huaxia in the United States.
But these are not Chen Geng's concerns, looking at the black and yellow puppies in front of him, who are only about a month in size, Chen Geng's eyes lit up, and he asked Ding Haijun in surprise: "Old Ding, how did you get this thing? This thing is not easy to pass, right?"
"Isn't it difficult to pass the customs?" Ding Haijun said with emotion: "The Americans are too troublesome for the inspection and inspection process of cats and dogs entering the customs, and we have arranged special personnel and communicated with the US diplomatic system, and even so, it took a full three days to complete the customs clearance procedures." ”
The two puppies seemed to realize that the young man in front of them was their owner from now on, and after being picked up by Chen Geng, they sniffed Chen Geng's body, and then began to lick Chen Geng's wrist.
"They like me," Chen Geng was very happy to feel the crispy and itchy feeling in his hand: "Thank you, thank you so much, this is the best gift I have ever received......
Looking at Chen Geng's surprised eyes when he looked at the two Chinese pastoral dog cubs, the leaders of the delegation collectively breathed a sigh of relief: It's done!
Before this, many people still had fierce objections to giving Chen Geng such two ubiquitous soil dog cubs as gifts, even if this was Chen Geng's repeated begging domestic comrades to help find it before returning to the United States, their reasons were irrefutable: the puppy must be found for Chen Geng, and people want two puppies, don't we give it yet? Not only to find, but also to find the purest Chinese pastoral dog, and we also have to go through all the customs entry procedures for these two puppies, so that Mr. Chen Geng can legally raise these two puppies, but!
But are we just going to give these two puppies?
Of course not!
For our friends, we must show our due heart.
However, for other gifts other than these two puppies, it is not suitable to take them out at this time.

There are still 500 words left, so please wait 10 minutes, brothers.
