1162 Spend more than $10 million on advertising the Y-10 without losing money
"Why do you have to go?" said Mozzie, dissatisfied, "why don't you let people worry?"
"I'd love to say that I didn't want to see it, but I really wanted to see it. In addition, we will have 5 Super -7A to go to Paris for demonstration, our Super 7 can do the Dragon head maneuver, and the Soviet Su-27 can also ......," Xie Kai explained.
He knew that Mozzi was now afraid of him going abroad, so he was worried about his safety.
Mo Qi knew that Xie Kai was an excuse, but he couldn't refute it.
As a woman who is a man who belongs to the country, she can't ask Xie Kai to stay with their mother and son all the time, so she can only support her silently in the back.
"The Paris Air Show will be held from June 9 to 18, and we need to book the venue three months in advance, so we have to be fully prepared, and it is expected to be very busy for a while. Xie Kai looked at Moqi apologetically.
This Paris Air Show is different from other times, because the Soviet Buran Space Shuttle will be accompanied by the An-225 on board, which will be the brightest star of the show.
At the same time, the Su-27, an advanced fighter that shocked the Western world, will also make its debut at this air show and perform the super-maneuverable maneuver of the Cobra.
Xie Kai had to go in person, otherwise, he would not be able to complete the naming rights of a maneuver.
This will be the last glory of the Soviet aviation industry.
Xie Kai couldn't help but go.
The Buran Space Shuttle, after being showcased, will be shelved and eventually scrapped. Xie Kai has been struggling with whether to get this thing back.
And the An-225, as the largest aircraft in the world, he wants to do it, and it is impossible, there are too many people staring.
At least look at it, isn't it?
Perhaps, the technology of this thing was brought back from Ukraine?
Uncle Liu Dongsheng will also appear at this air show, and Xie Kai is now at a loss for what the specific progress is. This guy is not worried at all, he hooks up with girls in Ukraine all day long......
I can't tell Mozzi any of this.
You can't even tell anyone.
"It's as if you're not busy. Xie Kai, I want to wait for the child to be older, and after weaning, I will still be your assistant. Mozi said to Xie Kai.
"I want you to do what you love, so that you can be yourself. I love the work, being involved in these projects and seeing them succeed firsthand. For anything else, I don't have much interest. Xie Kai frowned.
Mo Qi knew what Xie Kai meant, but his thoughts were always firm, "My favorite job is to be your assistant and accompany you, so that you don't hook up with other little girls." ”
Xie Kai almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
Even if he knew Mozzi was joking.
I don't usually have many opportunities to talk to other girls, and I'm always with a bunch of old men.
"More on that later. Xie Kai did not continue to object.
Mozzi didn't say anything further, either.
The next day, Xie Kai still went to school, waiting for Zheng Yucheng to come over with the Yun-10 team and the super-7 team.
The Paris Air Show in June has just over two months left.
AVIC has booked a booth, and it is necessary to communicate and discuss with relevant units about the specifics.
Also, because the domestic spy network was wiped out last year because of Xie Kai, what was supposed to happen will not happen again.
Xie Kai: All they have to do now is to discuss their participation in the Paris Air Show this year.
"Let's just go to the exhibition, what kind of excitement is the Y-8?" Zheng Yucheng was very dissatisfied, "What market can there be for such an aircraft?"
Xie Kai looked at the old guy and knew that he still had resentment in his heart.
Qin Fei's side originally did not agree with them withdrawing the technical research and development team of the Yun-10.
"No matter who it is, as long as it's our Chinese one, it's enough. Xie Kai comforted Zheng Yucheng, "We are all brother units under the military. The meat is rotten, and it's still in the pot, isn't it? Not to mention that in this base reform, the military has to replenish many of our people. ”
I just got good news from Long Yaohua a few days ago, Xie Kai is in a good mood, Yun-8 or something, it is also domestic.
"We don't have an import and export company, why do we have to cooperate with AVIC? They don't bring much business at all, and even take a share of the profits from our own business. Zheng Yucheng didn't say anything about the Y-8, but asked why he cooperated with AVIC.
All this time, the weapons and equipment of the base were exported through their own import-export companies.
If it weren't for the sudden rise of 404, there would be only ten military import and export units in China, and now there are 11.
"China Aviation Technology is mainly responsible for aerospace, and since the base is reformed, it can't help but hand over something. If more people share the profits, then more people will help solve the problem, won't it?" Xie Kai said.
Wang Guilin: They are obviously not willing to cooperate with AVIC.
Xie Kai knew that it was not easy to get them to change their thinking, but they couldn't help but change.
The current 404 base can no longer sell equipment as before.
"The Y-10 is finally going to participate in the international air show!" Ma Fan and the others were full of smiles when they came.
The Y-10 has come all the way, how difficult it is, they know better than anyone else, and even before they have dismounted, there is no hope.
The 404 was born out of thin air, took over the Y-10, and a large amount of funds were smashed in, the original design was improved, the experiment was continued, and the modification design was carried out, and the total investment exceeded 1 billion yuan.
The order of the Civil Aviation Administration of China simply cannot make the Y-10 project no longer need 404 blood transfusion, and even have profits to feed back 404.
"Mr. Ma, has the order from Sichuan Airlines been negotiated?" Xie Kai remembered the Tu-154 and asked Mr. Ma.
At present, although the Civil Aviation Administration has given a little order, some airlines that have just been established in China do not have enough funds at all, and the prices of the planes of Airbus, McDonnell Douglas, and Boeing are too high, and at the same time they need a lot of foreign exchange.
The four Tu-154s, which were not even approved by the state for airworthiness, were bought by Sichuan Airlines because of their cheap prices and no freight.
With the Yun-10, there is no need to change the Tu-154 back.
"There is contact over there, and the Civil Aviation Administration does not have them in this batch of orders. The biggest problem now is the money, they don't have much money in their hands. Mr. Ma was a little worried when he said this, "Domestic airlines are all interested, and they are all ...... because of financial problems."
"The problem of funding is easy to solve. When the time comes, just let CITIC lend to them. Xie Kai is not worried.
From the very beginning, when 404 became a shareholder of CITIC, he was planning these.
If CITIC lends to domestic airlines, it will be of great benefit to the domestic aviation manufacturing industry and the development of airlines, and even CITIC will get a group of high-quality customers because of the future development of domestic airlines.
"By the way, the Y-8 will also participate in the Paris Air Show with us this time?" Cheng asked Xie Kai from time to time.
"This will not affect our orders. The Y-10 is a mainline airliner, and the Y-8 is a regional airliner. There are many countries that don't need mainline airliners at all, and they can't even afford to buy them...... "Everyone is worried that the Y-8 will affect the Y-10 orders," and only with more models and more choices from customers can we sell more aircraft. ”
"It's nature. When our new models come out in the future, customers will choose more, and the products will sell more. Ma Fengshan said with a smile.
Then I asked some about the development of the Y-10 modification, although the engine is still a bottleneck, restricting the development of the domestic aviation manufacturing industry, for Xie Kai, with the current results, it is already very good.
The design of the Y-10 AWACS aircraft has been completed and will soon enter the prototype manufacturing process.
Even new military transport aircraft of the 150-ton class began to enter wind tunnel tests.
From the dismount of the Y-10 to the 404 to take over, until now, the condition is very good, what needs to be waited for is the supporting engine.
Ma Fengshan and the others still had a lot of things to do, and Xie Kai didn't bother them much.
On the side of China Aviation Technology, Xie Kai has not been in contact.
For a long time, the export has been done by its own company, and the technology and equipment imported and exported by AVIC are very restricted.
"Why are you so worried?" Xie Kai didn't expect that after Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin came back, they were worried.
They went to negotiate with the people of AVIC.
"It's not as convenient as ours on the AVIC side. And the booth is very small, and we can't even show two Y-10s if we want to. Wang Guilin said worriedly, "A business plane, a passenger plane." ”
"They had booked a booth in January, but they were only planning the Y-8 and J-8II, and they didn't leave us a place. Zheng Yucheng complained.
The best technology of the domestic large aircraft is the Y-10, and there is no place for the 404.
This naturally upset them.
"The above is arranging for us to go, can't we do without our placement?" Xie Kai didn't expect this to happen. "The Y-10 is already huge, and the booth needs a lot ......"
"In just a few days, if our planes are going to participate in the exhibition, two Y-10 and five super -7A, it will cost tens of millions of dollars, they can help arrange it, and we have to pay for it. ”
Xie Kai finally knew what Zheng Yu had become complaining about.
In this way, what is the need to work with AVIC?
"Then let's pay for it, more than 10 million dollars, not much. Xie Kai said indifferently, "It is not a loss to spend more than 10 million US dollars to promote the Y-10 and Chao-7A." ”
"Or do you want to let China Aviation Technology do it?" Zheng Yucheng's brows were twisted together.
"Just put them by name. The Y-10 can no longer be hung under the name of the Hongqi Machinery Factory. Directly in the name of COMAC, ...... "Xie Kai felt that it didn't matter.
Zheng Yucheng: They can't wait to control everything in their hands.
The Y-10 is not necessary.
It's time to take out the signboard of the commercial aircraft, and when McDonnell Douglas no longer produces in China, the original production plant will be brought back.
"I was registered before that. ”
"Then there is no problem, let the aviation technology side not be afraid to spend money, we must engage in a conspicuous position. Xie Kai said, "It's best to get close to the Boeing booth to let people see if our Y-10 is an imitation of the Boeing 707." ”
