Chapter 151: NB Aviation

To make money in Kuwait, it is necessary to respect Kuwaiti religious beliefs.

I ate three sausages and red sausages in a row, and I never felt so fragrant about pork as I did tonight. After the matter was discussed and the goal was achieved, Director Meyer Bell and Major General Webb also had a good appetite, and the table full of food was swept away in the blink of an eye.

The househusband was not so good, and Professor Achim spent the night sending off two government officials, Dr. Klinsmann and President Daniel. It wasn't until the four guests were seen out of the villa that they turned back to clean up the table with the two.

"Zhang, now that you're making a lot of money, you're not used to living here, right?"

Before the reunification of the two Germanys, he lived in the villa area for more than a year. After the Berlin Wall was torn down, his house was used as the preparatory department of NB Electric (Germany) GmbH. They were also very hospitable, coming here was like coming home, and it didn't feel unaccustomed.

Looking at the future female prime minister's smiling appearance, the charter smiled: "How come? The conditions in Kuwait are a hundred times more difficult than this, nothing is wanted, even the water is salty, although it has been desalinated. ”

He was only a teenager when I first met him, and now he is a young man with a lot of money, and it is said that he is also in love with a Chinese girl. In a sense, Angra and Professor Achim also "grew up watching him", not only former colleagues and long-time friends. Because of his age, he subconsciously even regarded him as a junior.

"It seems that it is not easy for capitalists to make money."

"Obviously, it's not easy."

Professor Achim was so happy that he couldn't help but ask, "Zhang, how much money can you make in Kuwait?" ”

Although Angela didn't ask, the curious expression on his face was obviously very curious. The charter thought for a moment and said lightly: "The rebuild has just begun, and the user project hasn't even started. If all goes well, there should be $1 billion to $1.5 billion in benefits over the next two years. ”

Professor Achim was incredulous and asked incredulously, "So much?" ”

"Professor, we have 4,867 colleagues in Kuwait before we get on the plane, and that number will double in a week. According to the salary standards of countries such as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, the monthly salary to be paid is as high as 30 million US dollars, and 1.5 billion yuan in two years is not much at all, not to mention half of the fire fighting business. ”

Angela asked: "How many of the follow-up personnel can be East Germans?" ”

"One-third." Not knowing what she was thinking, Dr. Klinsmann knew better than anyone else that the German workers were not dominant in some trades, and that one-third was the limit of what we could do. ”

"Chapter. The economic situation in the six eastern states is very bad. ”

Angela sighed lightly and said helplessly, "A new statistic shows that. Since the reunification of Germany. Some 2 million eastern residents have moved to the west, Leipzig has lost its population by 35 percent, Hoyes Veda by 21 percent, Schweling by 19.6 percent, and Rostock, a coastal city on the Baltic Sea, by 18 percent. Saxony's population has shrunk by 500,000 people, and Thuringia has an average of 5,600 people leaving their homes every year.

The young men all went to West Germany. Many primary schools could not even find teachers, so they had to be taught by Polish teachers. You can't imagine that a German child speaks German with a Polish accent. As Federal Minister for Women and Youth, I am genuinely worried about the future of East Germany. ”

No doubt. In this way, she wanted to defend the position she had taken during the negotiations. That's how politicians should be, and the charter doesn't feel anything wrong.

Angela paused and continued to say worriedly: "As long as the economy in the east does not improve, the direction of population flow will not change, and there will be a danger that the six eastern states will become nursing homes in Germany." At the same time, the decline of women in the east will also cause a series of new social problems. ”

NB Electric's investment in Germany has always been in Berlin, and the charter reacted and asked with a smile: "So you think we should take over the Leipzig airbase in Saxony?" ”

"It's not easy to gain a foothold in Germany, and it's even harder to develop further in Germany. Believe me, the only way you can develop in Germany is to always be an East German company. ”

The charter nodded slightly, and said with a sincere face: "Doctor, professor, thank you for your continued support and help, and I will definitely not let you down." At least when it comes to solving the problem of employment, I will find ways to create opportunities for East Germans. ”

Professor Achim did not support Angra's behavior of catching ducks on the shelves, and thought of the charter to agree to the conditions of the Trusteeship Bureau, and asked worriedly: "It doesn't take so many people to modify the turboblast firefighting equipment, and this business can't be done for a long time, how do you plan to solve the employment of 2,000 people?" ”

He put down his cup and patiently explained: "Professor, in the past half month, one purchase order after another has flown from our hands like snowflakes to West Germany, even the United States and Japan, with a total value of up to 170 million US dollars, which has made the doctor and his friends realize that there must be one or two core businesses.

With the property rights clarified and the headquarters willing to increase investment, we decided that after the first fire extinguishing payment arrived, NB Industrial Manufacturing would start the power project. It is mainly engaged in motors and generator sets, and develops a new generation of steam turbines, so it is not a problem to provide 2,000 jobs at all. ”

Angela happily asked, "So how many marks are you going to invest?" ”

"It's too cumbersome to convert, about 120 million dollars."

The charter smiled and said meaningfully: "I didn't go on it before, not because of funds, nor because I was worried about technology, but because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to open the market." With a successful emergency repair of power plants, power grids and water plants, and with the use of vortex firefighting equipment, there is no obstacle for the above equipment to enter the Middle East market. And other countries and regions can also do it slowly on this basis. ”

As soon as the motor is made, it is a series, and the same is true for the generator set, the steam turbine is not a gas turbine, and the East Germany has this technology, as long as it is slightly improved, it can completely compete with the West German company.

Angela Daigo understood as if he had been empowered, and immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zhang, I knew that you had this plan, and everything would definitely not happen tonight." ”

"It's nothing, it's really nothing, and we really need those retired engines."

Professor Achim pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but blurt out, "But what about the airport?" That's a big problem, no matter what it's used for, it needs investment, and it's not only far from the city of Leipzig, but also from the county of Leipzig, and I really can't think of any future for it. ”

The transportation is inconvenient, the supporting facilities are incomplete, and the factory obviously cannot be opened there. To continue as an airport is even more of a dream, because there will be no planes landing there at all.

Since NB Electric has taken over, it is necessary to develop there, otherwise it will affect the reputation of NB Electric in Germany, and the charter looked at the list of aircraft and engines on the table, and said confidently: "Professor, I have an immature idea, and after the headquarters and branches have done market research, maybe they can really be implemented." ”

"What thoughts?"

"Formation of NB aviation, as General Webb said."

"With those two Tu-154s?"

"You misunderstood, I want to start an aviation service business."

Thinking of the famous Lanxiang Technical School in China in later generations, the charter couldn't help but smile: "There is a runway, a training aircraft, and experienced flight instructors, and you can completely engage in flight training." With the support of the federal and state governments, I am confident that it will become the largest civil aviation training center in the world.

Of course, Soviet-style airliners cannot be used as the main training program, and the best Airbus and Boeing instructors should be invited to train Western airliners to fly, as well as ground crew. In short, it is much easier to train a pilot of a Soviet-style fighter or transport plane with more than 500 flight hours into a qualified pilot of a civil airliner than it is to train an ordinary person. ”

Former East German Air Force pilots, Angra was stunned by this bold idea and hesitated for a while before asking, "What about after the training?" ”

"Recommended to airlines all over the world, as the aviation business continues to grow, experienced captains and co-pilots are never enough. Moreover, we can also carry out a series of businesses such as passenger aircraft leasing, aviation maintenance, and pilot training. ”

Professor Achim was so amused by this fanciful idea that he asked again and again: "Lease the planes of the Ministry of Defense to Middle East Airlines, piloted by the Germans and maintained by the Germans?" ”

"It can also be leased to African national airlines, in fact they need it more than Middle Eastern countries. Two is a bit less, and if the Trusteeship Bureau and the Ministry of Defense can agree, we can take over all the idle passenger and transport planes. ”

After thinking about it, he continued: "Considering that Western airliners are needed for training in Western airliners, I can even buy or lease one Boeing and one Airbus each to open the Leipzig-Kuwait and Leipzig-Hong Kong routes. Of course, this also requires the support of the federal government.

In short, transportation is supplemented, training is the mainstay, and the quality of training is ensured on the basis of reducing training costs as much as possible. It is believed that airlines from Middle Eastern countries, Southeast Asian countries and African countries will be very interested. In addition, an aviation club was formed to train pilots of small aircraft to satisfy people's interest in aviation. ”

Flight training is expensive, especially for airliner pilots.

Leipzig Air Base is fully equipped, with more than 100 propeller and jet trainers, ready to take to the skies at any time after overhaul. As long as the human, management and fuel costs are borne by the training costs, the training costs are undoubtedly unmatched by other training institutions.

The more Angela thought about it, the more it made sense, and nodded, "Maybe you can really give it a try." ”

Professor Achim was skeptical and reminded: "Can the air traffic control authority agree?" ”

"Zhang is right that the federal and state governments should support it, knowing that if successful, Leipzig will become the largest flight training center in the world, and Germany has a tradition of flying." (To be continued......)
