Chapter 93: The Beginning of the Great Change (32)
The fact that Liang Yuan and the Belfast strategic transport plane went to Shanghai together is still closely related to the bank of the Special Economic Zone.
Liang Yuan's plan to open a branch of the SAR Bank in China can be said to have been planned for a long time, and he even had this idea from the beginning when someone became a shareholder of the SAR Bank
However, finance is not as good as industry, and the state is extremely vigilant about this aspect of affairs, and what Liang Yuan intends to do is not at all something that the small shoulders of a regional bank can carry.
Therefore, in recent years, the Bank of the Special Administrative Region has hardly promoted the three fields of Yuanjia's main business - electronics, aviation and power, but has had a significant effect on Yuanjia's other side businesses, such as Fengyuan Material and Trade, such as Jardine Matheson after the acquisition.
In the first half of this year, Lin Jian made a simple statistics, if the economic development of the Special Economic Zone does not slow down in the second half of the year, the GDP of the Special Economic Zone will double this year, of which half of the GDP increment of the Special Economic Zone will be contributed by the customers of the Bank of the Special Economic Zone.
If we consider it from another angle, the development of banks in the Special Economic Zone is close to its peak, and it has become a decisive factor of life and death to continue to maintain high growth and open branches in other places.
It is precisely because of this that Liang Yuan nominally went to Shanghai to participate in the finals of the National Youth Science Competition, but in essence, he went to Lin Jianzhen.
As early as the end of April, with the support of Gangji Collectors, the paging market of the Republic of China started an explosive pace of development, and Yan Hongji, a senior official in Shanghai, invited Su Liangyu and others to visit Shanghai when time permitted.
The name of this invitation is also very high, and the top leaders of Shanghai City have proposed to build the largest commercial city in the Republic into a future-oriented digital city in 10 to 20 years, which can be said to be very much in line with Liang Yuan's appetite.
Someone's various ideas about the future have been talked about almost countless times with Su Liangyu and others, and under the direct influence of Liang Yuan's insistence on the chip into life, the concept of smart city, which was slowly formed in the first decade of the new century, was refined early by the high-level of Gangji Electric Collection, specifically the sensor city built on the intelligent network.
Similar to unmanned supermarkets, robot dogs, drone delivery, electronic door locks, smart homes, autonomous driving, electric cars, wireless automatic charging piles and so on.
Although the elites of the electronics industry can feel that the tide of the information age has come unstoppably, even if the most brilliant cutting-edge industry experts and the most active science fiction writers join forces, it is impossible to define the future city as directly and clearly as Liang Yuan.
For Liang Yuan, the greatest value of being reborn once is that there are many things that can really be reborn, the so-called life in the world is the word wealth, even if you look at someone in the world, it is enough to be among the top 500 richest, Liang Yuan, who has seen countless beauties in two lives, has not found that there is a more beautiful existence than the twins who grew up together.
Ning Wanjia of the previous plane was trapped in the bitter love for Liang Yuan in the early years, although it was stunning, but her temperament and figure still left Liang Yuan with the impression of being weak and not growing, not to mention anything else, in Liang Yuan's memory, the girl's current boobs are much bigger than the Ning Wanjia she met when Liang Yuan was in college.
Whether from the perspective of Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory in the West, or from the traditional culture of the Republic, the poor are good alone, and the good is good for the world, and the doubts that Liang Yuan will face in his future life are almost only the philosophical question of the meaning of life.
Even if life is started all over again, it is only a hundred years, and the fate of all mankind Liang Yuan feels too big to bear it, but the fate of the race that gave birth to his own land Liang Yuan feels that it can still be changed with a little effort.
Now Yuanjia may be nothing in the world, but it is still very influential in the country, so Liang Yuan has long planned to come according to his own mind, although the future of Shanghai is prosperous, it is just a top international metropolis, and now Liang Yuan intends to use his influence and Yuanjia's economic strength to directly turn the planning of the economic pearl of the Republic into a future city that beats all the big cities in the world.
In terms of the institutional characteristics of the republic, as long as there is a model to promote it, for the ordinary people who were born and raised in Sri Lanka, what they pursue is nothing more than to live a good life, and from a scientific point of view, the only hope for a good life for the majority of the people is to strive to increase productivity, and the only way to increase productivity is education, that is, scientific research.
At present, the worldview of Yan Hongji, the leader of Shanghai, is very consistent with Liang Yuan's worldview, even if there is no influence of Liang Yuan, this is also one of the promoters of the republic's informatization construction, and is also the leader of the three gold (Jinqiao, Jinka, Jinguan) project of the foundation laying project of the future Republic of China's network expressway.
Even in the mid-80s, before Liang Yuan came over, Yan Hongji was studying paperless office, and the government built an ERP management system through computers, but it was limited by the national strength and technology of the republic, and it could not be realized.
What's more, after Yan Hongji stepped down as the number one leader in Hucheng and went to the central government, in the battle to upgrade the railway system of the future republic, he became the biggest backstage of maglev technology, as long as Liang Yuan did not give up on maglev technology, Yuanjia would not let go of this thick thigh no matter what.
In the past, Yuanjia was not high-profile, and Liang Yuan made Yuanjia's cash flow hang by a thread, according to the practice of the world, you pretend to be 13 people who work hard to support the scene, there must be some benefits, Yuanjia before the acquisition of Jardine Matheson, almost all rely on Liang Yuan's abduction and abduction to maintain development, how dare you invest indiscriminately.
At present, with the completion of Jardine's rectification and the successful profitability of Gangji Power Collection, Liang Yuan finally has the capital of Jardine, so he attaches great importance to Yan Hongji's invitation to Yuanjia, and the main purpose of this transfer of Belfast transport aircraft is to transport one Rolls-Royce and five Bentleys of Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong to fill the field.
In addition to Su Liangyu and Jian Zhikang of Hong Kong-based Power Set, Lin Jian of the Special Economic Zone Development Bank, Niu Bijian, President of Jardine Matheson, Zhou Yuanhang, President of COMAC, and Lu Hengsheng, President of Shangri-La Electric, visited Shanghai this time.
In a sense, Liang Yuan can be regarded as cashing in part of the boasting with these bulls back then, Liang Yuan laughed with a few people as early as three years ago, and went on a business trip somewhere in China in the future, and the local commander came forward to take over the wind, went on a business trip to Europe and the United States, and was able to be on the column of a national newspaper, and Yuanjia at that time was considered a preliminary success.
Yuanjia's security system was built by Xiong Weixin, and Liang Yuan used the Belfast strategic transport aircraft to transport luxury cars, as long as Ning Lei paid a little attention to it, he would know.
Liang Yuan bought such a big thing as Belfast for transportation, don't look at it and no one came to ask, it was because all the people who planned to ask couldn't get around Ning Lei.
For the Republic Air Force, it would be a shame for someone to suddenly come back from overseas with such two monsters, and the Republic Air Force was a little blindsided.
At present, the largest air transport force of the Air Force of the Republic of China is the Yunba Reform, which has just added a high-altitude sealed warehouse.
The maximum commercial load of Yun-8 is 15 tons, and the Yun-8 that pulls 15-ton cargo can fly up to 1,200 kilometers, and the Yun-8 can load up to two trucks in the transportation space, and the Yun-8 loaded with goods cannot fly at an altitude of 7,000 meters, but can only cruise at an altitude of 5 or 6,000 meters.
As a result, when the Yun-8 encountered most of the bad weather such as rain, snow, and thunderstorms, it either forced through the cumulonimbus clouds or made a long detour, and could not fly high, which can be said to be one of the main factors in the crash of the Yun-8 plane of the Republic.
Compared to the Yun-8, Belfast's flight data is almost like that of livestock.
Belfast can fly up to 1,600 kilometres with a full load of 35 tonnes of cargo, 5,000 kilometres with 20 tonnes of cargo and 7,500 kilometres with 8 tonnes.
Even when fully loaded, Belfast can reach a cruising altitude of 9,000 meters, an altitude at which most of the planet's bad-weather cumulonimbus clouds can easily cross.
Flying slowly is also one of the excellent indicators of transport aircraft, after all, the slower the plane flies, the less dangerous it is when landing, and the landing at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour can be achieved by ordinary people who train ten times or eight times, and if it is a landing at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, even if it is piloted by professionals, the risk of aircraft destruction and death is far more than 50 kilometers.
The Y-8 has a minimum flight speed of 248 km/h and Belfast's has a minimum flight speed of 180 km/h, so it's clear which is better for the main purpose of the transport aircraft airdrop.
The victory in Nansha made the military of the Republic realize in advance that some of the popular views on war during World War II had become seriously outdated, and they also knew that countless new ideas and new tricks had been put forward on the other side of the ocean.
Without the support of F14 fighter jets, the two battles and two victories in Nansha would have been like a dream if they had not relied on their mouths to suppress bayonets in the air within the military.
The biggest characteristic of the Air Force is that it is quickly mobilized and rapidly projected into force; except for the Second Artillery Corps, the Air Force's reaction time among all branches of the armed forces can be said to be the fastest, and Ning Lei has always been extremely interested in strengthening the Air Force's reaction speed.
For example, the U.S. military has begun to carry out rapid air mobility transitions.
With the sophistication and specialization of air combat equipment, the modern air force is an extremely dependent ground support force, which is organized according to the republic, and provides a flight regiment of 24 to 30 combat aircraft for two weeks of medium-intensity combat needs, and all kinds of support equipment, ground crews, plus guided munitions require a transport capacity of 1,000 tons to support.
Taking the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the Republic of China most needs the mobile deployment of the Air Force, for example, at present, the payload of the latest modification of the Republic of China's Y-8 on the plateau is only five tons, and 200 sorties of the Y-8 are required to ensure that a flight regiment can go to the plateau.
In addition, after the new century, the total number of Y-8s equipped by the Republic's Air Force for transportation does not exceed 40, and even if the Y-8s equipped by the Republic are counted in the future, a regiment will have to be transported for five days before it can form a combat capability.
What if it is replaced by Belfast that Liang Yuan got back?
Although Ning Lei did not know how Belfast performed on the Tibetan Plateau, Schott developed the Belfast transport aircraft in accordance with the requirements of global deployment.
Although Belfast has not flown on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it has flown over the Peruvian Plateau and the Bolivian Plateau at an altitude of 4,000 meters, proving that the Belfast strategic transport aircraft has the ability to take off and land at a plateau airport with full load.
If the Republic is equipped with Belfast, it is theoretically possible to deploy the US military on the same day, form combat effectiveness on the same day, and enter combat readiness duty on the same day.
Ning Lei has been staring at these two big planes for a long time, and Ning Lei is familiar with Belfast's flight data, and the reason why everyone in the Air Force is ready to move is that Ning Lei is afraid that the official actions of the Republic will cause trouble for the handover of technical documents between COMAC and MBB, so he simply suppressed everyone and pretended not to see it at all.
Since Liang Yuan knew that the one in the north was about to be finished, the Il-76 could be bought openly, so he didn't think that Belfast was going first, and Ning Lei's suppression of all the signs of contact strengthened Liang Yuan's erroneous belief.
Someone also complained about this when chatting with the two girls, Jia Jia Feifei, you see, Beifa returned to China and didn't even ask Uncle Ning for the first time, but fortunately he didn't pin his hopes on military procurement.
"Yuanjia executives collectively went to Shanghai to investigate, this is the first time Yuanjia appeared in public, how can not weaken the momentum, I asked Hong Kong to send a few good cars of the group over to save face. ”
"It was just in time for the graduation of our own Belfast flight crew, so I asked Zhou Yuanhang to send it over when I went to Shanghai to compete, to be honest, it has been two months since Befa bought it, and I haven't flown with the plane once. ”
Liang Yuan and Ning Lei explained a few words about the ins and outs of the Belfast transport plane going to Shanghai at this time.
The Super Heavy Cargo Company began operations in mid-May, and the two Belfast were bought by Liang Yuan and flew directly to Hong Kong.
After the reorganization of Yuanjia, Jardine Matheson's Jardine Airport Logistics Services is not only the major shareholder of Hong Kong Container Terminal, but also the majority shareholder of Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals, mainly engaged in the maintenance of ships and aircraft, and even the well-known Cathay Pacific Airways in Hong Kong has outsourced part of its inspection and maintenance business to Jardine Matheson.
From the first day of Beifa's arrival in Hong Kong, Yuanjia began high-intensity training under the guidance of the British crew members who recruited pilots from China through Ninglei, and because someone was not bad for money or the life of the aircraft and engines, the domestic flight crew only took one month to get Beifa's flight license.
Generally speaking, it takes three to five months for an old pilot to change to a different type of aircraft of the same type, and it takes three to five months to get it done, and even if Liang Yuan does not care about the cost of investment, the quality of the crew is absolutely top.
How could Liang Yuan guess that Ning Lei retired the two top transport aircraft crews of the Republic ahead of schedule, and then sent someone to be a cargo plane pilot.
Liang Yuan thought that the power of this BUFF was extremely great.
Ning Lei laughed and said, "If your flight crew doesn't graduate, Uncle Ning won't come back to tell you about it." ”
Hearing Ning Lei say this, Liang Yuan almost casually asked Uncle Ning, should you be transporting any contraband.
"Uncle Ning has read the information of Beifa, six cars take a temporary second floor, one Beifa is enough to fit down, Xiaoyuan, you use two to transport it is a waste to the extreme. ”
"Lao Zhou, they plan to use Beifa for freight, and now they are collecting a lot of data, as long as there is data recently, they will fly anywhere, Uncle Ning, are you planning to borrow the plane to some unsightly place, right?"
"Such a big plane, the Air Force is really embarrassed to borrow, Xiaoyuan arranged the schedule in Hong Kong, from the Special Administrative Region or Guangzhou to install and take off, Uncle Ning plans to temporarily borrow a Beifa, from Lingnan to take some cargo to Shanghai, no need to change the route, no need to unload halfway, to Shanghai still land at the Jiangwan Airport commonly used by United Airlines. ”
Looking at Liang Yuan's confused eyes, Ning Lei smiled and added a sentence again.
"Beifa took off from Lingnan, escorted by F14 throughout the whole process, how far away, this treatment is not bad. ”
Liang Yuan suddenly realized when he heard Ning Lei say this, and it is estimated that the Air Force intends to take this opportunity to practice long-range rapid mobile deployment, and this kind of exercise plan is very consistent with the rapid response force formed by Ning Lei.
