Chapter 567: Large Aircraft Project
"What, you want to get a business jet for the company?" Yang Kaiming said with a smile on the side.
I usually don't think that this trip, he just realized such a thing, or really have the idea of getting his own plane, and he will encounter such a thing again in the future, whether in terms of safety, comfort, or confidentiality, it is definitely better to take his own plane than to take a civil aviation plane.
"I have this idea." Xu Ziling nodded, "You said that we have more than 20 people this time, which is exactly the same number of people in the first class position, such a round trip, the air ticket alone will cost hundreds of thousands, if we have our own plane, in terms of safety, confidentiality, and comfort, it is a big difference, so if we have our own plane, it is still very practical." ”
"Then you can buy one, now there are many private business jets, millions of small business jets, hundreds of millions of large ones, it depends on how much money you are willing to pay."
Nie Yunjie took over the conversation and said to Xu Ziling with a smile.
"Why don't you just do the whole 'Air Force One'?" Speaking of this topic, Li Cheng also got excited and hurriedly interjected.
"No kidding." Xu Ziling looked at these guys and was really helpless, no matter what the topic, as long as it was not a formal occasion, a few people would definitely have to talk about it, "I really think it is necessary to get a plane, I am personally fine, if I am domestic, I will fly a helicopter over, and if I have to go faster, I will fly a fighter jet, but you don't know how to play this, besides, there will be more scenes like this in the future, and you must talk about the style, and you can't let those foreigners look flat." ”
Pointing to Nie Yunjie, a few people who couldn't fly a plane, he said a few words, and then asked, "Tell me, what kind of plane are we suitable for?" I really want to order one, and you guys have ideas. ”
"Really?"
Yang Kaiming asked in surprise.
I thought he was joking.
"Really!" Xu Ziling nodded.
If a plane is too big for a company, it must be a waste, but if it is too small, it will definitely not work, because if they have an airplane, they must fly abroad many times, and if the plane is small, the comfort is not good, so it is almost the same as taking a civil aviation plane.
When everyone saw him coming, they lowered their heads one by one to consider what kind of private jet was suitable for the military factory, they didn't want to buy it if it was too expensive, and they didn't want it if it was too cheap, and they really didn't expect that there was a suitable model for a while.
In the end, Fan Yu thought first, "There is now a large-scale passenger aircraft production line in China, and we have talents in this field in the laboratory, why don't you make a plan to order one?" ”
Buying a foreign plane, Xu Ziling was really a little reluctant, he just thought about whether to simply get one out of his own, but thinking that for such an airplane, wasting time and energy, it was not worth it, so he vetoed it in his heart.
"You mean the C919 that flew last year?" Unexpectedly, Nie Yunjie also knew this, and hurriedly confirmed it with Fan Yu.
Fan Yu was talking about this large passenger aircraft developed by AVIC, and nodded, "Yes, it is this model, at that time I happened to come into contact with relevant materials, in terms of safety and other aspects, it is still good, compared to some models of Boeing, it is not bad, it is quite suitable for us." ”
"If you want to talk about C919, I know a little bit about it." Xu Ziling took over the words, C919 is the first model of China to enter the field of international large passenger aircraft, for a period of time last year, the news and media reports were overwhelming, he also saw it at the time, but this is civil aviation, and he has nothing to do with it, so I didn't know in detail, "I heard that this model seems to have a lot of orders now, the first one will be delivered in October this year, and now it's October, why haven't you heard relevant reports?" Could something have gone wrong. ”
"Is there such a thing? I didn't know what to do, and I had read the relevant documents at that time, but I didn't understand the specific things. Fan Yu said in surprise, and at the same time set his eyes on Nie Yunjie.
Nie Yunjie saw her looking at him, of course he knew what she meant, and shook his head, "This project is a project led by the former prime minister during his tenure, and my grandfather has a good relationship with him, so I remember, like you, I only know the surface of the road, and I don't know the specific situation of the road." ”
"Then who of you is familiar with AVIC? Inquiring? If there is a problem, we can't blindly support domestic production. Xu Ziling realized that something should have happened here, otherwise it would be impossible for such a big thing not to be reported in the media, you must know that this is definitely a good opportunity for a company to hype, and it is impossible for the people of AVIC to give up for no reason.
Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng are definitely not familiar with them, Xu Ziling's words are said to Nie Yunjie, Fan Yu and a few people in the capital, because the headquarters of AVIC is in the capital, and among them, only a few of them may know someone from AVIC.
What is disappointing is that several people do not know the people of AVIC, you look at me, I look at you, and the most embarrassed shook their heads in unison, indicating that there are no people who are too familiar with AVIC.
"Then you can contact them directly in the name of the military factory to see, and say that we want to order a business jet, and they can't pick it up?"
As long as there are no potential safety hazards, Xu Ziling is still willing to buy domestic ones, and besides, this is just his own speculation, and he can't say accurately, so he can't stop buying AVIC's plane because of this inexplicable suspicion, so he asked Fan Yu to contact him first and see what he would say.
It's not too difficult to make a phone call, AVIC's phone can be found casually on the Internet, Fan Yu is now accustomed to Xu Ziling's vigorous and resolute work style, answered, immediately found the number, picked up the phone on the table and called.
Of course, the operator in charge of the external phone will not be a high-level person, Fan Yu wanted to order a plane in the name of the Red Star Military Factory, and the other party immediately said that he did not have this authority, saying that he would help her transfer to the relevant personnel, and now the main thing is to listen to the news, Fan Yu naturally doesn't care, and after waiting for a while, there was a person on the phone who claimed to be an account manager of AVIC.
What is there in the Red Star Military Factory, outsiders are not clear, but since its completion, helicopters and fighter jets often take off and land, which are seen by some military fans, and some long-distance photos are taken, coupled with the exposure of "Xiaolong", so that the military factory has a certain reputation in China, and the other party learned that it was Fan Yu's identity, which was very polite, but in the matter of ordering business jets, after a conversation, this person did not say anything substantial, to the effect that the people from the military factory could go to them to talk first, Or they can send someone over.
The phone is hands-free, what the other party said, all the people in the office heard, seeing the other party's attitude, I knew that there was really something unknown here, after all, a large passenger aircraft, the original price was at least hundreds of millions, plus converted into a private business jet, it was definitely a small order, but the other party did not show any too positive desire to make a deal, if there was no problem, it would be strange.
"Forget it, it is estimated that AVIC is in trouble." Seeing Fan Yu politely hang up the phone, Xu Ziling gave up the idea of buying C919.
Fan Yu didn't give up so quickly, ignoring what Xu Ziling said, and instead said to him: "Aren't you very good at airplanes?" Why don't I just ask my dad, if it's a small problem, you can help them solve it, maybe you can give a preferential price at that time. ”
"That's a good idea." Li Cheng, who was on the side, immediately became excited when he heard Fan Yu's words, "You helped them solve the problem, and it's not impossible to get us a fight for free." ”
……
You just daydream, according to their requirements, a plane will cost more than 100 million, and people will be willing to give it away? Xu Ziling pursed his lips, he really didn't expect much from him to talk like this, but as Fan Yu said, it was more realistic to solve the problem for them and be able to give them a little discount.
"It's free, but it's something you can consider. Big planes are really a pain in the air for our country, why don't we ask first, and if we can solve it, we can help them solve it? ”
Yang Kaiming also expressed his opinion, "Large passenger planes are just like our transport planes, which is a tragedy." ”
He said this with some sadness, but Xu Ziling knew that what he said was not wrong at all, looking at the transport planes used by the army now, the only few large transport planes in the whole army are still imported, and there is not a single one produced domestically, and the heavy transport planes they have are not even as good as the transport helicopters produced by military factories in terms of load.
He had been thinking about strengthening his combat effectiveness before, Xu Ziling's attention had always been on fighter jets, and he really hadn't thought much about this kind of logistical transport aircraft.
After thinking about it for a while, he said to everyone: "Are we also thinking about a big aircraft project?" This thing can be used in the military, or it can be converted into a civilian airliner, and it has a good prospect and is also a necessary guy in the army. ”
……
Although everyone here is used to his behavior of suddenly coming up with an idea, but when he heard him like this, everyone still froze, this is just talking about buying a business jet, how can it become in the blink of an eye, want to go to the big plane project?
The large aircraft project is indeed a short board in China, but it has been planned, and there are already results such as C919, and now it is necessary for military factories to do this again? This thing is not like a fighter jet, a helicopter, they have no experience, and this project has a huge investment, is it necessary?
At this moment, everyone was thinking about it.
"What do you have in mind?" Others will be afraid of Xu Ziling's thoughts, but Yang Ruolan will not, others are not easy to say, but she can not have the slightest reason to oppose Xu Ziling's proposal, the military factory acquired the Jiangnan factory this year, and built a port in Netan, the financial pressure is actually quite large, if it is a big aircraft project, it will definitely not be able to cope with it all of a sudden, thinking about this problem in my heart, but thinking that since Xu Ziling raised this question, it should have some specific ideas, so I did not oppose it as soon as I opened my mouth, but asked him.
