Chapter 501: Industrial Transformation
After the completion of the first project and office building, Galaxy Aerospace officially began operation, and hundreds of trained skilled workers began to produce the first orders issued by Bombardier-Tang Dynasty Aerospace under the guidance and supervision of engineers sent by Bombardier-Tang Dynasty Aerospace: 100 wings of Learjet 36 small business jets, which at the current scale of Galaxy Aerospace is enough for Galaxy Aerospace to produce for several months, to accumulate valuable practical experience for skilled workers, and then use these workers to lead more workers.
Gradually forming a renewable virtuous circle, until finally there is no longer a need for the guidance and supervision of Bombardier-Tang Dynasty Aerospace engineers, Galaxy Aerospace itself has established a set of technical training mechanisms and quality supervision mechanisms for employees, but it is obviously not a simple matter to achieve this goal, and it will take at least a few years to achieve this goal, but it is not impossible to shorten the process.
After Zeng Nanxing took office as the president of Galaxy Aerospace, the first thing he did was to reach an agreement with several colleges and universities in the world that have made great achievements in aerospace manufacturing and machinery manufacturing, according to the agreement, Galaxy Aerospace will provide internship positions to graduates of these institutions, and these colleges and universities will also recommend students to work in bank aerospace, which is a win-win agreement.
Secondly, it is to hire an international headhunting company, with a high salary from Boeing, Airbus and other aviation giants, aiming at those senior engineers, after all, an ordinary skilled worker can be trained in a few months at most, but a senior engineer can not be achieved without high-level professional knowledge and rich practical experience, and for an aviation product manufacturer. It is unthinkable to do without a high-level senior engineer, at least it is difficult to imagine that it can make a qualified product.
Finally, actively engage with aviation giants such as Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell Douglas, etc. Seeking cooperation projects, and with good results, at the end of June, Boeing's Civil Aircraft Group Senior Vice President Jack? Bruni led a delegation to Galaxy Aerospace and visited the workshop where the wings of the Learjet 36 business jet were being produced. After the visit, Jack? Bruni spoke highly of Galaxy Aerospace's hardware facilities, and even bluntly said that some of Galaxy Aerospace's production equipment is more advanced than Boeing.
Finally, the two sides signed a framework agreement for Galaxy Aerospace to produce the wings and tail of the Boeing 737-300 airliner for Boeing. The agreement stipulates that over the next three years, Galaxy Aerospace will produce at least 100 wings and 200 tails for Boeing. Boeing will provide a full range of information and technical support. As for the specific production agreement, the two parties need to carry out specific negotiations later.
The signing and implementation of this agreement will undoubtedly greatly improve the technical accumulation of Galaxy Aerospace, you must know that the Boeing 737-300 passenger aircraft is a large passenger aircraft, although it is still only a wing and tail This is a relatively small technical component. But even this relatively low technology content is certainly far more than that of a small business aircraft like the Learjet 36. There is no comparison between the two.
In order to get Boeing, the world's largest manufacturer of aviation products, to agree to cooperate with Galaxy Aerospace, Gu Chen used many connections in the American political arena, and even flew to the United States to meet Jace in person? The Rockefeller family is also the majority shareholder of Boeing and has a lot of influence on Boeing's decision-making.
Otherwise, there is no need for Boeing to cooperate with Galaxy Aerospace, because Galaxy Aerospace can neither provide Boeing with a market. Nor can it provide technology to Boeing, and the only benefit that can bring Boeing is to reduce the manufacturing cost of some Boeing 737-300s. But this benefit can also be achieved by Boeing's processing plants around the world, and to put it mildly, the cooperation with Galaxy Aerospace does not bring any substantial benefits to Boeing. On the contrary, Boeing is grooming a potential future adversary, but Boeing does it anyway.
Just because it has enough self-confidence, if the aviation manufacturing industry is such an easy industry to set foot in, it will not be the situation that is now monopolized by Western developed countries. What's more, the cooperation with Galaxy Aerospace is only the wing and tail, and the core technology is not involved.
It's a pity that Boeing doesn't know that Gu Chen wants to cooperate not for technology, but to improve the technical level and experience of workers, and at the same time, let Galaxy Aerospace's quality supervision mechanism for high-tech products be formed as much as possible, and gradually approach improvement.
Don't underestimate this quality supervision mechanism, in the later Chinese mainland developed the WS-10 high-power military aviation turbofan engine, becoming the third country in the world to independently develop such engines, but the mass-manufactured WS-10 has frequent failures in practical applications, often in flight fan blade breakage, air stop, surge and other situations, bringing hidden dangers to national defense security.
Design flaws can be a factor, as is substandard product quality. In other words, small batch production may be up to standard, but once mass production is made, it will lose effective control over product quality.
This is caused by the unreasonable production process and the imperfect quality supervision mechanism. The more high-tech things are, the more scientific management is needed.
With the passage of time, especially after the official start of production of the wings of the Learjet 36 small business jet and the signing of an agreement with Boeing, all Hong Kongers saw that Galaxy Aerospace was taking solid steps towards strength. It is with Galaxy Aerospace as an example that since the second half of 89, the number of companies and individuals applying for loans from the Global Development Bank's Science and Technology Special Fund has increased significantly, but the application conditions for this special fund are stipulated, and not anyone who has anything to do with science and technology can apply.
Moreover, even if you meet the application conditions, you will not be able to apply if you have poor prospects for depositing money or if you have a poor ability to repay the loan. Therefore, only a few will be able to receive the support of the science and technology special fund, and some of these 'few' will also become the core of Hong Kong's high-tech industry in the future, such as Nongxin Electronics Co., Ltd., which was established by Ho Hongsen and Sweden's Ericsson Corporation.
The high-tech company with Ericsson providing technology and Ho Hongsen providing funds, mainly researching and manufacturing communication equipment, has now been officially put into operation, and the factory is not far from Galaxy Aerospace, which is currently mainly for Ericsson processing and OEM, but the company has developed its own brand plan, and will start to implement the brand plan when the company is more stable and on the right track.
Of course, Stanley Ho can have such confidence and courage, mainly with the strong support of Gu Chen, a good son-in-law, and more than half of the company's investment funds are from the Science and Technology Special Fund of the Globe Development Bank, which greatly reduces the financial pressure of Stanley Ho.
There is also Donghua Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Fok Yingdong Group and South Korea's Samsung Electronics, this method of cooperating with famous foreign technology companies Fok Yingdong learned from Ho Hongsen, so that he can get a higher starting point, although the investment will be relatively larger.
Donghua Electronics' main business is the development of high-tech electronic components such as memory cards and chips, and the other businesses include the development of communication equipment, PCs and other electronic equipment, which involves much more business than Nongxin, and there is no direct conflict in the main business.
The above two are the two most typical high-tech companies established after Gu Chen advocated the transformation of Hong Kong's light industry to a high-tech industry. There are many other smaller tech companies. In addition, Li Jiacheng has also officially put the plan on the agenda, and it is believed that a large high-tech company will appear in Hong Kong soon.
In the face of the positive response of Hong Kong tycoons to Gu Chen's initiative, and the quiet changes that are taking place in the entire manufacturing industry, Hong Kong industry insiders are still very optimistic about the future, but some foreign views do not think so, and there are many views that Hong Kong's industrial transformation is too rapid and unrealistic, although there is Gu Chen's financial support behind it, but the prospects are still confusing.
Gu Chen put down Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao", and smiled faintly at the above evaluation of Hong Kong's industrial transformation, those so-called experts and scholars are so self-righteous because they can't figure out the situation, it's really ridiculous. He advocated industrial transformation to serve Galaxy Aerospace, such as Ho Hongsen, Fok Yingdong and Li Jiacheng before choosing a project, he had specially communicated with each other, as long as Galaxy Aerospace can develop, then at least in the overall situation, Hong Kong's high-tech industry will show an upward trend.
"Singapore has been competing with Hong Kong for the status of Southeast Asia's financial and economic center, and now Hong Kong's manufacturing industry has set off such an industrial change, and there is the boss of you, a rich man behind the back, some people in Singapore naturally can't sit still, jumping out to sing the decline is certain."
"Where do they know about their husband's ambitions and grand plans, and if they know, they are scared to death, hum, a group of so-called liars."
Li Jiaxin had also read "Lianhe Zaobao" before, and was quite angry at the comments in the newspaper, directly calling those scholars liars.
"Hehe, the mouth grows on other people's heads, how to say that love is the freedom of others, we don't care, they will automatically shut up when they see the facts of the future."
Gu Chen's tone was full of confidence, he had already made a plan for Galaxy Aerospace, as long as there were no major accidents, he was confident that Galaxy Aerospace would become a world-class manufacturer of aerospace, defense systems, missiles and other products before Hong Kong's return to the motherland.
At this time, the speed of the car gradually slowed down, and seeing the crowd in the distance through the window, Gu Chen said, "It's almost there, tidy up your clothes." (To be continued......)
