Chapter 15: March: Aircraft Manufacturing

After taking a turn in the sky, Liu Fei suddenly found that it seemed that the market for regional airliners should be very good now, at least in the flower planter.

After getting off the plane, Liu Fei was called to the tutor's office of the Aircraft Design Institute, and as soon as he came up, Song Wujin and Jia Tongji, who served as Liu Fei's mentor at the Aircraft Design Institute, scolded Liu Fei, and agreed that if Liu Fei still got on the unsafe plane without authorization in the future, Liu Fei would be considered "not suitable for anything involved" and then sent to a military court. When Liu Fei said that he wanted to establish an aircraft manufacturing company like Boeing or Airbus, and vigorously develop civil aviation from small regional passenger aircraft, Jia Tongji seemed to think of something, so he called a few people, one of whom included serving as the deputy minister of civil aviation. The long national blue sky.

When Jia Tongji thoroughly and completely explained Liu Fei's thoughts, Guo Qingtian immediately entered the negotiation state, and he planned to figure out whether the person in front of him was willing to take over the previous McDonnell Douglas plan.

……

I want to think about the year, altogether.. And.. In order to develop civil airliners, China has formulated a three-step strategic policy: the first step is to assemble the MD-82 passenger aircraft; the second step, cooperation in the production of MD-90 passenger aircraft; The third step, on the basis of the MD-90, absorbs technology and develops its own passenger aircraft. However, after the start of cooperation with the MD-90 airliner, McDonnell Douglas collapsed and was acquired by Boeing, and Boeing changed the name of the newly developed shortened MD90, that is, MD95, to Boeing-717, which was planned to be completed in total. And.. countries continue to cooperate. However, the market failed and Boeing abandoned this plan altogether. And.. China's three-step plan has completely failed, and it has been delayed for 20 years, and even the Y-10, which has already developed most of its own, and the Il-76 production line, which can be introduced, have not been taken care of. That's why it's called McDonnell Douglas 95. The ARJ21 Xiangfeng passenger aircraft now developed by China is very similar to the MD95/Boeing 717, but the fuselage is shorter and the number of passengers is less.

……

Liu Fei thought for a while and shook his head and said, "I won't accept this project, because this project has no accepted benefits at all." As a businessman, it is necessary to pursue profits, otherwise you will be excluded and suppressed. ”

Guo Qingtian obviously didn't want to just look at the total.. And.. The huge amount of money invested by the country before was so stranded, so I wanted to know why Liu Fei was unwilling to take over this project.

Liu Fei listed many reasons after Xiangxiang: "First of all, the McDonnell Douglas series of airliners has been outdated, although many of his designs still have good reference significance, but the parent model of the MD-82, that is, the MD-80, was developed on the basis of the DC-9. The DC-9 was developed in the 1960s, and even though it was very advanced at the time, aviation technology has not advanced so much over the years, and this aircraft cannot be in the same state as it was then.

Secondly, the core of the MD project, that is, the engine of the aircraft is imported engines, which is very different from our Liu's philosophy. We believe that under certain circumstances, the core components of all products should be mainly made in China, and only in this way can we ensure that we will not be subject to foreigners.

Again, this project is 198 . It has been stranded for 9 years, and it has been so long now, even if it had a good foundation at that time, it has been completely consumed for so many years. Maybe those aircraft designers can still retain some, but for the grassroots workers, the pig-killing knife of time has worn out all their skills. If I take over this project, I will spend a lot of money to retrain these workers, and then our interests will be seriously harmed.

In the end, the prospects of this project are obviously good, because although we are not doing much now, the general direction has always been correct. So those high-ranking officials will definitely put their relatives and children into our project personnel, these personnel are completely unrelated personnel, do I still have to keep a bunch of waste for them? ”

Liu Fei continued: "Don't persuade me to change my mind, I won't take the path of imitation and redevelopment, I have already designed a jet regional airliner." All his data is much better than the current main regional airliner. Even the latest 737 and A320 can't compare to it. I believe that with Liu's sophisticated character, the production cycle of this small aircraft can be shortened to about 30 days after most of the products are localized.

I also have a basic idea of the various models after that, so I don't need to be subject to foreigners at all. Besides, because of my relationship with Boeing Airbus, I don't want me to use the technology that those people invented. Now even their state-of-the-art wide-body mainline airliners are drawings that I draw for them, which means I don't have to look at their faces at all. Affair. So why should I be upset? ”

Guo Qingtian saw that Liu Fei was also stubborn like a cow, so he asked Liu Fei for the address of the factory.

Liu Fei thought for a while, then compared it on the map for a while, and his fingers fell heavily on Fortress City, Qilu Province, where Liu's family is located (Fortress City, Qilu Province, people who are classmates of this tease must know where this is).

Guo Qingtian was very puzzled by this, Liu Fei explained: "First of all, Laishan International Airport in Fortress City here is a 4D-level civil airport, with its own runway, which can take off a variety of passenger planes including Boeing 767. In the future, if we become bigger, we can produce some giant transport planes for transporting aircraft spare parts. Then this is undoubtedly a good place, and the environment here has not been greatly damaged (at least not in 03 years), which is very suitable for the development of high-tech industries. Although it is not very rich in mineral resources, there are Fortress Port and G15, G18 and other highways passing through here. In other words, road transportation here is also very convenient, at least we don't have to worry about the cost and difficult transportation conditions like in the interior.

In addition, the population density here is not very high, at least compared to the imperial capital, the magic capital and Jinling, the population here is still more suitable for the development of the aircraft industry. This is the case, for example, of the Airbus final assembly plant in Toulouse. ”

Then Liu Fei continued: "If Haiwei City can be reincorporated into Fortress City and upgraded Fortress City to a municipality directly under the central government, I believe that Liu's Power can develop better here, coupled with the leading role of the municipality directly under the central government, I believe that the surrounding supporting industrial facilities can also be well developed." When the time comes, altogether.. And.. China's economic development will certainly be able to advance to another peak. ”

Guo Qingtian was about to say something, but Liu Fei suddenly interrupted him and said: "By the way, in order to ensure that the environment of Fortress City will not be polluted due to the development of the economy, resulting in the reduction of production of aircraft factories and other factories, I propose to change the current leadership team." At the same time, in order to prevent some people from shamelessly picking peaches, I suggest that I serve as the mayor, Chang. Deputy Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Ministry.. Candidates for the long term are subject to rigorous scrutiny. Finally, I hope to be able to hold on to this leadership team for at least ten. years without major changes. ”

Liu Fei didn't mention the city just now. Commission: Remembering this position, Guo Qingtian thought of Liu Fei's family and understood, didn't it make it clear that he wanted to leave a good position for his father?

……

Liu Fei took a plane back to Fort City and met his father, Liu Jingshan. Liu Jingshan had already been informed that there would be a major personnel change in Fort City recently, and he was asked to prepare in advance.

After raising funds, Liu Fei established Liu's Aviation Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which was wholly owned by Liu's, and began to build the first factory shed. Since it is wholly owned by Liu's, Liu Fei does not have to worry about anyone interfering in his management. And.. The reasonable requirements of the state will also be taken into account.

To be precise, Liu Fei generally does not refuse to share.. And.. The demands of the state, this was the initial compromise that Liu Fei was forced to make. There are compromises everywhere in life, but Liu Fei's compromise this time has been exchanged for a bigger backer, and his father was promoted to Fortress City. Commission: Remember, the quasi-father-in-law Yang Chengjun served as the commander of the Fortress City Military Division, ranking as a regular ... One of the committees, that is to say, now Liu Fei is at least in the city. The committee has two votes and even a veto. Moreover, Liu Fei also has the right to appoint personnel, which is a big vein. Although the financial power is not in Liu Fei's hands now, in front of the right to appoint personnel, the financial power is very easy. (Don't ask me why it's easy...... [Just love Chinese, 92 Chinese, 9 love Chinese!] ]
