Chapter 330: Fever on the Other Side of the Ocean
Commander Liu left, and after inspecting the progress of the J-74, he left six orders for the air refueling Jianjiao 7A, and of course there was researcher Zhang Zhaozhong Zhang, who wanted to stay in the southwest science and industry to follow up the production of these six special training aircraft.
Everything seems to have calmed down again, the only thing that has changed is that the production of test aircraft has increased by one more, and the third test aircraft has left the production line in less than half a month after the first flight.
The frequency of flight test flights of the aircraft is also accelerating, according to Chief Engineer Yu, it is necessary to work hard for 365 days, and the complete J-74 will be delivered at the end of 87 at the latest, which is the fastest schedule given by the Chief Engineer after careful consideration.
In order to achieve this goal, Yang Hui can clearly feel that the entire Southwest Science and Industry Munitions Machine has begun to run at a high speed, and the most obvious change is that the electricity bill of the entire company has completely doubled.
A few months ago, although the southwest science and industry was also very hard, the lights in the office area were generally turned off at 12 o'clock in the evening, and now it is all night, this spirit is simply staggering, and this efficiency has properly entered the wartime state.
This series of actions scared the engineers sent by Northrop half to death, this Red Republic military-industrial unit works so hard, is it to start the rhythm of the war?
Thinking of the planes sold by this company to Pakistan, which had just shot down two MiG-23s from the Soviet Union not long ago, and now there is a lot of uproar and there is a tendency to tear their faces apart.
"Jack, no matter how much, let's hurry up and work, it seems that something is going to go wrong, hurry up and finish the cockpit design this time. It's safe to go back to America early, it's really not a place for people. ”
Southwest Science and Industry is almost about to enter a wartime state. This is to speed up the development of the J-74, and on the other side of the ocean. It is indeed singing and dancing, it looks like a peaceful and prosperous world, but the closest relationship between the Pacific Ocean and the southwest science and industry is the release of a movie.
The U.S. military invested heavily in cooperation with Paramount Pictures, and was deeply involved in the filming, for which it also lost an F14 fighter and pilot.
And the protagonist F14 in the movie has become the darling of all the people, and countless hot young people want to apply for the Navy pilot. But he was brutally brushed down, and when he saw the notice he was brushed down, Anthony was extremely disappointed.
"Alas, after all, it was brushed down, it seems that I have no chance with my beloved big cat after all, and I don't know when I will be able to see it in the future, so I still go to buy a model of a big cat and put it at home, so that I can see it every day."
Anthony watched "Top Gun" and spontaneously became a glorious cat party. Not only that, but the friends who went to the movies with Anthony were also unscrupulous cat parties.
During this period of time, the cat party in the United States swelled rapidly, but only among ordinary people. There is no influence among the congressional masters who can dominate the procurement of fighter planes.
A large number of ordinary fart people have been converted into cat parties, which has no impact on the procurement of the US Navy F14, but it is an out-and-out boost to the model aircraft sold in the market.
Since the release of the film on May 16. Covering model airplane sales outlets throughout North America, all F14 orders were snapped up. In the past half month, the first batch of 200 model airplanes has been sold out. The $10 million in the hands of Southwest Science and Industry has been taken steadily.
"This is an order from the United States, based on the popularity of this "Top Gun" movie, our F14 model aircraft should still have more than 600 orders, and at least another 30 million US dollars."
Yang Hui's order data is naturally quite gratifying, and the small F14 model aircraft actually collected 40 million US dollars for Southwest Science and Industry, which is simply a miracle. Even Yang Hui himself couldn't believe it, but in the end, he had to envy the huge number of middle-class people in the United States and the amazing spending power.
When the company's bigwigs heard Yang Hui's introduction, they were stunned, a model airplane, which was developed two years ago and was tens of thousands of quick money, and now it brings thousands of times more profits, which is simply a money grab.
Thinking of this, everyone is more recognized by Yang Hui's ability, and it is a good choice to hand over Southwest Science and Industry to Yang Hui, and these old guys can retire silently to do what they like!
"Not only that, due to the influence of the F14 model airplane, it has brought hundreds of model airplane pilots to the entire model airplane market, and these new players have also driven a small upsurge in the sales of the old model airplanes developed before, and it is expected to have a small income of several million dollars."
Yang Hui, who was not shocking and endless, took advantage of this opportunity to make up his mind to prepare to scrape the wallets of these cat parties, and in the spirit of no matter how small a fly is, it is meat, and he also took some other orders.
"There are still some cats in the United States who don't play with model airplanes, but they like the F14 fuselage model we made, and the feedback from American dealers came and asked us to make some cheap F14 models. This model can also make about 2,000 US dollars, which is not a lot of money but the number of orders is very large, and it is expected that there will be thousands of orders, and millions of dollars."
With Yang Hui constantly introducing these orders, the accumulation of a single order, only to find out that just by taking advantage of the east wind of "Top Gun", the dollars earned by Southwest Science and Industry this time have approached 50 million US dollars.
50 million US dollars, in the barren foreign exchange in the eighties, is definitely a considerable amount of money, even if the cost and taxes are removed, Southwest Science and Industry can at least get more than 40 million US dollars of net profit, no way, who makes the cost of the model aircraft produced by Southwest Science and Industry too advantageous.
At the Paris Air Show in 85 years, Southwest Science and Industry won an order for 50 Jianjiao 7A from Iraq, worth 250 million US dollars, and finally removed the cost, removing the investment of Jianjiao 7A, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to take 75% of the profits, and the actual profits left by Southwest Science and Industry will not exceed 30 million US dollars.
It can be said that the release of "Top Gun" this time, in addition to the profit of the film company itself, the biggest winner in the economy is none other than Southwest Science and Industry.
"Good thing, our model aircraft has huge potential, and the profit can be so strong, and we will increase our attention in the future, and there will be more surprises in the future."
This is a very good saying, but Yang Hui has already adjusted his plan according to the market reaction.
"No, now the situation is just the opposite, the model aircraft project has not much profit potential, the traditional model aircraft manufacturers in the West made the same jet model aircraft last year, the price of ordinary model aircraft has been pulled to about 10,000 US dollars, this time the F14 is a special case, can not be calculated according to the normal situation, the future model aircraft profit is probably one or two million US dollars per year."
Take out the pre-prepared model aircraft profit prospect assessment book, which is clearly written and clear at a glance. After reading this evaluation plan, several bigwigs can only reluctantly give up the fantasy of using model aircraft to make a lot of money, or honestly make hard-earned money.
Yang Hui said that the matter of model aircraft, in fact, also has its own little ninety-nine, and now the time is ripe, which leads to the main topic: about the launch of the drone project.
"This is a project plan for launching a small field unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, which can replace the model aircraft in the future and become another major interest growth point in the research and development of our small aircraft, and there is already this kind of reconnaissance aircraft abroad, and it will not be too risky to develop it, and the domestic army also has this need."
The reason why this project is being proposed now is that the cooperation plan from the Western University of Technology has been negotiated, and all the conditions for launching a small field unmanned reconnaissance aircraft are quite mature, and it will be able to produce results soon after it is launched.
