Chapter Ninety-One: Adopt a Big Plane Plan!

There was a faint rivalry between the large military regions, and Chen Xu suspected that the imperial capital could not balance interests, so he blamed himself for it, and then got out and became a good person. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, for these, Chen Xu has always avoided them, and in the struggle within the army, it is better not to interfere too deeply with his own people.

"What's going on with this Chinook?" Chen Xu pressed his forehead with his hand, and the downward wind of the helicopter blew so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.

"The army discussed this aircraft with Boeing last year, but it didn't come down, and later it wanted to introduce a civilian type, but it didn't work out, all because the price issue couldn't be negotiated. However, the army is in great need of an all-weather transport helicopter with a large capacity, and Chinook has been tested in combat in the Vietnam War, which is very suitable for the Asian climate, and has become the army's favorite choice. Although he did not talk about it, he did not give up, and sent six pilots to the United States to learn to fly at the beginning. The old chief explained the reason, the reason why later generations did not import this type of helicopter, it is estimated that it is also because the price is not negotiable.

Chen Xu didn't have to guess to think that this negotiation did not get any equipment for the army, and the imperial capital couldn't look past it, so he simply took advantage of the fact that the treaty had not yet been signed, and proposed a supplementary clause to support the Chinook transport plane, so as to suppress the army's grievances.

"How many such planes did the United States promise to give China?" Chen Xu asked directly.

"The Americans did not agree to give it directly, but they were willing to sell it to China at cost price, and the remaining price difference, as well as maintenance, personnel training, and upgrade costs, was paid by the US government. After consideration, the imperial capital felt that this was already the most cost-effective plan, so it negotiated with the United States to import 60 Chinooks at one time, 30 complete machines, and 30 in the form of parts for assembly in China. After the deal was negotiated, Boeing immediately sent over three prototypes, which were actually sent to the imperial capital for air shows to demonstrate performance. This one is one of them, and the pilots on it have been training in the United States for a year and a half, and this time they used the method of refueling in the air to drive the helicopter back from the US military base in Japan. The old chief explained the cause and effect of the incident.

"The U.S. government is willing to spend money on the order of 60 aircraft, and Boeing will make a lot of money, and it probably wants to expand the order and make more money!" Chen Xu knows the temperament of large Western companies very well, they eat what is in the bowl and look at the pot like this, and they are not satisfied.

"Isn't it! Boeing not only sent these three Chinooks, but also Boeing 737 and 747 passenger planes, and it is said that Boeing has people flying these large passenger planes around the imperial capital every day for performances, hoping that we will be able to buy these planes. The old chief nodded.

"Did you buy that?" Chen Xu asked

"What to buy?" The old chief didn't react.

"Boeing's airliner!" Chen Xu repeated.

"If you buy it, you must buy it, but how to buy it will have to be discussed, after all, in our domestic environment, commercial aircraft may not be profitable. So the quantity can't be too much, and the price can't be high. The old chief shook his head, it is obvious that the domestic airlines have no plans to import new planes on a large scale, after all, the country is still very poor, only a small number of people take the plane, there is no need to spend a lot of money to buy expensive passenger planes, a small number of imports can meet the needs.

Chen Xu also agrees that large luxury airliners are not necessities, and there is no need to spend precious loans to satisfy the desires of a small number of people. When the country becomes rich and the people have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy as many planes as you want?

China now also has a "Yun 10" large aircraft plan, but this aircraft is just a knockoff of the Boeing 707, many of the core components on it are not up to par because of industrial strength, and many of the overall components are solved by combining and assembling methods.

The Boeing 707 belongs to the aircraft of the fifties, and its performance is now seriously backward, and it belongs to the aircraft that is about to be phased out. Even if the Y-10 were built, there would be no market, and no airline would be willing to spend money to receive such an obsolete airliner. Even domestic airlines are influenced by foreign ideas, and ******** only want to introduce advanced Boeing and Airbus aircraft, and disdain domestic aircraft.

Without the support of the aviation department, the disappearance of this type of aircraft became inevitable.

Chen Xu knew that Yun Shi was indeed backward, and there was even no value in commercial operation, but it was very good to produce two or three planes to practice manufacturing technology.

Although there are many shortcomings in Yunten, the platform has been established, and the development of the second-generation large aircraft will be invested immediately, and I believe that even if it cannot catch up with the pace of the United States and Europe, at least it will not make people distance themselves.

Moreover, this project has also allowed China to have the ability to develop large passenger aircraft, establish a database, a large aircraft design experiment system, etc., which is invaluable.

Yun Shi made its first flight in 80 and quietly shelved it in 85, because the emperor did not allocate funds, and the project team that could continue to maintain only tens of millions of dollars was interrupted and finally had to be disbanded.

Chen Xu remembered that the Yunshi project seemed to be an independent project, a product outside the system, just because of Grandpa Mao's words, the state allocated funds to set up the project, and then the project team researched it by itself. The whole process has nothing to do with the Ministry of Aviation Industry, that is to say, if the state does not allocate funds, Yun Shi will become a motherless child and will starve to death.

It's no wonder that the aviation department at that time was opposed to Yun Shi, even if they saw that Yun Shi was going to get off the horse, they refused to pay to take over this stall, it turned out that they were not born by themselves, and they didn't feel distressed when they died!

Chen Xu was very excited, he only needed to take tens of millions out, and he could go directly to Shanghai to adopt Yun Shi, and the imperial capital would not mind at all, and others would not say anything about the loss of state-owned assets or anything like that, after all, the project that was dismounted was equivalent to being thrown into the trash, and no one would worry about taking it.

I can't imagine that I have taken a big advantage of the country this time, Yun Ten is almost already a finished product, although it is a lot of copycat ingredients, but just because the country's industrial strength is not enough, and so on ten years later, industrial technology will come up, large hydraulic presses, CNC machine tools, many spare parts can be made in China, Yun Ten will be perfect.

After that, Chen Xu only needs to invest more than a billion yuan to launch a more advanced second-generation large aircraft project. With the foundation of the Yun 10, I believe that after the 90s, a large aircraft of the same grade as the Boeing 747 can be built.

China's products have a price advantage, and when the time comes, it will seize the aviation market with high quality and low price, and stand with the top three Boeing and Airbus, without any problems. Not to mention anything else, there is absolutely nothing else in the domestic aviation market, with the ability to produce and sell itself, who still looks at your foreign aircraft.

In the future, if the large aircraft project can be persisted in, the value of the entire project will not be less than 500 billion, which is about the same as Boeing and Airbus. And now Chen Xu only needs to pay tens of millions to win it, which is equivalent to picking up a big bargain. Of course, this tens of millions of dollars is just to maintain the continuous research of the project, and if you want to develop a better second-generation large aircraft, you need to invest more than 100 million.

Chen Xu's so-called win means that he wants to use private money to adopt this large aircraft project, that is to say, even if the Yun-20 and Yun-30 aircraft test flights will be carried out in another ten years, that company is also a private enterprise of the "Chen" family, and the state can only occupy some shares at most, and has no decision-making power.

It's not that Chen Xu is selfish and unpatriotic, but that he still has a large family behind him, his mother's family, his eldest brother's son, and the second sister's husband's family.

It is said that he is rich for only three generations, and Chen Xu does not dare to guarantee that his family can be an official for generations. Besides, Chen Xu will plan for the country wholeheartedly in the future, how can he still have the heart to take care of his family!

But he is only where he is today under the care of the Chen family, and he will continue to enjoy the family affection of the Chen family in the future, Chen Xu can't be indifferent.

The Chen family has given themselves so much, and they must return the best things, so that the children of the Chen family can enjoy food and clothing without worry, and generations of children and grandchildren can enjoy wealth.

So he decided to take advantage of the fact that no one wants to eat the big aircraft project now, and after ten or twenty years, the big aircraft project will be worth the money, as the only large aircraft manufacturing enterprise in the country, the core heavy industry project, it is impossible to go bankrupt, as long as the descendants of the Chen family do not die and enjoy two or three generations, there is no problem.

If the descendants of the Chen family are not angry, in the end, the country can also spend money to buy all the shares of the Chen family, that is, the large aircraft project will always be a national project, and Chen Xu will only help hatch it.

However, it is still too early to talk about this, Yunshi will not be launched until 1985, and now this project still has national financial support, and various test flight verifications are about to be launched, and everything seems to be going well.

Chen Xu doesn't have to worry about it at all now, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, just waiting for the funds of the large aircraft project to dry up, and when the time comes, he will carry hundreds of millions of dollars in the past, I believe that he can take down the entire Yunshi project team without resistance, and let the research continue.

Of course, after taking it down, Chen Xu must be ready to spend money until it builds the latest passenger plane and sells it.

Chinook's side hatch slowly opened, and the old chief pointed to the plane and said loudly: "Little Wu, you get on the plane!" This helicopter is with you, and if you want to go out in the future, you will sit on it, and don't run around alone at every turn. You are the most important talent of the country, and the country cannot afford to lose if something happens. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xu was very surprised, he didn't expect the country to transfer a new Chinook helicopter to him as a landline, this kind of helicopter has stable performance and excellent safety, even the US military has repeatedly upgraded the old models to increase the service period of Chinook. It is because this helicopter is very reliable and there is no more suitable replacement than it, so the US military will choose to continue to use it.

Such a safe helicopter is really good to use as a landline, the longest range is 2000 kilometers, and the general helicopter range is less than 1,000 kilometers, which is a big difference compared with Chinook, so Chinook is really a good tool for going out.

"Thank you for taking care of me these days, I'm gone, if there is anything to call, I can be there at any time!" Chen Xu made a phone gesture in his ear, then picked up the luggage at his feet, bent down and ran to Chinook.

After getting on the plane, the first thing I felt was that I had gotten into the cabin of the passenger plane, which was really big and spacious, and it was not a problem to squeeze in more than 50 people at a time.

Because it is a military transport aircraft of the US military standard, the layout of the main cabin is very simple, and there are only simple cloth benches hanging on the bulkheads on both sides. In the cockpit at the head of the fuselage sat two pilots.

One of the pilots ran over, helped Chen Xu put his luggage away, arranged for him to sit down on the bench, and after checking it, he said loudly: "Comrade Chen Xu, sit down, and the plane will take off immediately." Don't run around during the flight, if you fall, you will have to be a big piece of black and green. ”

"I know everything, you can go fly the plane with confidence!" Chen Xu nodded, he was familiar with the road in a helicopter, and even he could drive it himself, so there was no need for this pilot to worry about it.

After closing the hatch, under the watchful eyes of everyone at the base, Chinook slowly took off and burrowed into the clouds, and the roar gradually became smaller until it completely disappeared......
