"Alas, it's true that I'm nameless—" Minister Zhang took a sip of wine and shook his head.

The successful development of the 04 machine in that year really encouraged a group of Chinese enterprises to enter the communication equipment manufacturing industry. In the years after the 04 machine entered the market in 1992, Huawei, ZTE and Datang and other enterprises have successively developed Wanmen digital program-controlled switches, and the program-controlled machines of Huawei and ZTE are related to the natural diffusion of 04 machine technology.

In less than ten years, Chinese enterprises have gone through a path of climbing from the low-end product market to the city surrounded by the countryside in the telephone program-controlled exchange market, and finally dominating the Chinese market.

However, the dragon company, which was the first to develop the 04 machine, fell in the process, and the reason is still due to the organization and system. The composition of the dragon company is composed of Zhengzhou Institute of Communications plus the four telephone equipment factories belonging to the former Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the three factories belonging to the Ministry of Information Industry, the source of technology is in Zhengzhou Information Institute, and the factory does not have much technical ability, just want to take ready-made products to produce more, occupy more market and sell more money.

That is to say, the dragon company is a company that is not integrated in technology, production and marketing, several factories produce products from the same technology source, cannibalism in the market, resulting in defects in quality and service, and more importantly, the dragon company can not continue to develop new products with the change in market demand, and the speed of technological progress lags behind the competitors.

On the contrary, Shenzhen's Huawei and ZTE were originally small trading companies, but these two companies are unyielding in their pursuit of technology and adhere to market-oriented independent development. It is on the basis of the technical capabilities developed by the independent development of program-controlled switches that these Chinese communication equipment manufacturers have entered the field of mobile communication and network equipment manufacturing.

Huawei's employees, nearly half of whom are engaged in research and development, and less than one-tenth of the production personnel, invest more than 10% of sales revenue in research and development every year, Huawei's products have begun to make great strides into the mainstream market in Europe and the United States, becoming one of the relatively rare high-tech enterprises in China's communications.

Fan Wuxian also felt a little surprised when he heard the news, but in fact, it was expected, many problems in China were stumped by this system, people outside the industry have appealed, people in the industry passed the buck to each other, and finally shouted every day, delayed every day, and finally achieved nothing, many careers have been consumed in this kind of prevarication day after day, and now if you want to make some achievements, you still have to rely on the power of the people to integrate.

Fan Wuxian is not afraid of spending money, he is afraid that there are no technical talents and design and manufacturing capabilities, at this time after hearing Minister Zhang talk to himself about the industry nonsense, there is a bottom in his heart, in fact, as long as the funds are in place, I am afraid that the Chinese can even drum up the space shuttle, let alone a large civilian aircraft that did not fly out of the atmosphere?

"But there is one thing that needs to be reminded of you-" Minister Zhang felt that he was standing in the position of his relatives and elders, and he still needed to mention Fan Wuxi, after all, the cost this time was not hundreds of billions, but hundreds of billions of investments, once it failed, the big project of integrating the national forces would become a sign of hitting the self-confidence of the domestic people, which was very worrying, and it was difficult to calculate the personal losses of Fan Wuxi, "Even if a large aircraft project is developed, with this 150-seat transportation capacity, Can it stand the test of the market? ”

Fan Wuxian groaned for a moment, he could understand Minister Zhang's concern, although this was a big project funded by him, but the talents he used could be said to be the strength of the country. If you succeed, you will become an unavoidable name in the entire history of China, and if you fail, it may lead to all kinds of unexpected blows. Even if it is successful, the large aircraft must be able to become a product that is in use and has a certain degree of competitiveness, and cannot be placed in the factory like the Y-10, and there is no practical use except for being visited by foreigners.

For the domestic economic development, not all people can see so thoroughly, some people are too optimistic, some people are too pessimistic, but a common point is that all people are in the fog to see the flowers, and can not assert what it will be like ten years later, and the domestic civil aircraft market is not very clear.

It is precisely for this reason that some people have been opposing the development of large aircraft, mainly because it is said that spending money may not be able to see results, and there is no practical significance, and it is better to spend money to buy other people's things for convenience and worry.

"At present, the argument for large aircraft projects generally starts with market opportunities, but if you think about large aircraft projects from a strategic perspective, then this prediction of "market opportunities" cannot be used as an important basis for decision-making. Unlike general industrial products, it takes a long time to develop the technical capabilities to design and manufacture large aircraft, and it also takes a long time to industrialize. In contrast, market demand must fluctuate frequently, and it is unlikely that the number of market demand in 10-15 years from now is accurate. But as long as China's economy continues to grow, China's demand for such large aircraft will continue to grow. "Over the past decade or so, China's civil aviation demand has grown explosively, spending hundreds of billions of yuan on more than 1,000 foreign aircraft and other equipment, but this market is now occupied by Boeing and Airbus." Whether China's aviation industry can break the monopoly of this duopoly is something that all parties must consider in decision-making, and some people's eyes are always focused on the gap between the two oligarchs that cannot take into account the market, which is also one of the main reasons for getting on the regional plane first and then the mainline aircraft. The crux of the matter is not how much market space these two oligarchs can leave for Chinese aircraft in the future, but whether China's aviation industry can master the corresponding technical capabilities and produce products that meet the corresponding level of performance, and strategic decision-making should firmly grasp this focus. ”

In fact, the experience of China's industrial development over the past 20 years has proved that once China's industry has mastered a level of technological capability close to that of developed countries in a certain field, it will produce undoubted competitiveness, because China's products are always cheaper than those of developed countries.

In the conditions of market competition, airlines must consider cost, and if China's civil aviation industry can provide high-performance cost-effective aircraft, it will take market share from Boeing and Airbus. As long as China's economy continues to grow, market opportunities will always exist, and the key is the ability to seize them.

"The preciousness of technical capabilities can also be seen from the experience of international cooperation in the past, after the successful test flight of China's Y-10, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas both offered to cooperate with China, so there was a McDonnell Douglas 82 assembly project that year. But when China itself abandoned the Y-10, the faces of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas changed. It's no wonder that people can't blame it, and they can only blame themselves for why they don't even understand the truth of walking on two legs. "Technical ability is so important, so the country must have a long-term and unremitting will to cultivate the technical ability to design and manufacture large aircraft." The strategic goal of the country is not just to get one or two products, but to build a sustainable product development platform and ultimately to acquire technological capabilities. Starting from this goal, the early level of the product is not the key, the key is whether it can continue to improve and finally achieve industrialization. As long as this strategic focus is clear, the long-term will and set goals will not be shaken by short-term shortcomings and weaknesses. At this point, I am fully mentally prepared and have made a more long-term post-planning. ”

"Your big aircraft project will definitely touch the nerves of international vested interests, so you must not underestimate the motives of foreign competitors who are colluding with politics and business to stifle China's civil aviation industry. Americans and Europeans understand better than many Chinese that once China begins to build a platform for the development of large aircraft, the question is no longer whether Chinese products are low or high when they first appear, but that China's technological capabilities will definitely grow through such platforms. Minister Zhang said to Fan Wuxi, "Competitors will obstruct or even stifle China's large aircraft program through various means such as market suppression and TO clauses." ”

"Even so, I can't back down—" Fan replied calmly, "Because I don't need appropriation, my waist can be relatively hard, and I don't need to be tied up by the government, if it weren't for the national system, or I could do it in a shorter time." For some small tricks, as long as I keep my father on the stage for more than ten years, I don't need to worry about others stumbling, after all, this kind of thing is a major matter related to the overall strategic interests of the country, and not many people dare to really jump out and make trouble, it is nothing more than hiring some gunman experts to sing empty in the newspaper, dealing with these people, I have experience, if there are really officials who go into battle shirtless for a little money, I will also let him be ruined, in fact, to my current extent, It's hard to do something good, but it's so easy to do something bad, and you don't even have to do it yourself. For the sake of a grand goal, all the obstacles are a dead end. ”

In fact, now Fan Wuxian is also fighting against the water, although he has mastered huge wealth, but if he does not do a few big things that can really make China stand up, he can only be a rich man.

But if he can complete the big plane project, he can immediately become a hero of the whole nation, if he does not commit such a public crime as treason, then with the good image and transcendent status that he has always erected, there is no power that can affect his status.

In this way, no matter the political situation changes or any other factors, they cannot affect his actual status in the country, which is one of the reasons why he must do a big thing.

On the other hand, the experience of China's automobile industry and civil aviation industry in joint ventures and cooperation with foreign enterprises over the past 20 years has also shown that if you do not master the intellectual property rights of your products, you can only assemble foreign products, and you will not only suffer from exploitation, but also fail to learn technology. Without the intellectual property rights of products, Chinese enterprises, industries and even countries will be at a disadvantage in the global competition.

In order to master intellectual property rights, it is necessary to carry out independent product development, and once the level of technological capability of China's industry is close to that of developed countries, lower labor costs will make China's products internationally competitive.

Fan Wuxian is very much looking forward to the results of his great efforts, once he is engaged in a large aircraft project, whether it is Airbus or Boeing, they will have to worry about the rapid shrinkage of the international market.

Fan Wuxi's biggest wish now is to develop his own large aircraft, and then sell it to the United States and Europe.

There are no pop-ups
