217 commotion of all kinds

"Okay, Mr. Wang, let's say this first, and then we'll have a good chat when we meet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Chen Wenhao politely said a few words and ended the call.

"Another one? Is that Mr. Wang? Dai Yuqian on the side asked, and after getting a positive answer, she smiled and said, "It is estimated that the logistics industry has been difficult to calm down recently." ā€

During this time, Dai Yuqian devoted herself to the preparation of the corporate public welfare foundation, and Chen Wenhao, as the legal representative of the enterprise, needed his review of various documents such as the articles of association of the foundation. As a result, the number of times Dai Yuqian came to him these days has increased significantly. Today, I brought a bunch of documents to report to him, and after less than half an hour of talking, I saw him answer several phone calls.

Chen Wenhao has nothing to avoid her, and the strange calls in the past few days are basically from the CEOs of major domestic logistics companies. Previously, after the safety transformation plan of the spacecraft was determined, it communicated with the airworthiness certification team, and the other party had basically approved the plan, but in the end, it could not be completed, and it had to pass the flight test to count. The test flight time was agreed with the approval team, and the flight test time and plan were filed with the air traffic control team, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

However, I don't know which channel leaked the news, and the media with great powers published the news that the spacecraft was about to test flight, and called it "the most critical test flight to determine whether or not to obtain the airworthiness certificate", which attracted a lot of attention. Needless to say, there is a heated discussion on the Internet, but this has no impact on Chen Wenhao, but the major logistics companies that have heard the wind have taken the executive route to want to take the line with him.

Dai Yuqian held a bunch of documents, the corners of her mouth curled into a good-looking arc, and said, "This is a good thing for the company, as long as the spaceship passes the approval, there will definitely be no shortage of sales." She looked at Chen Wenhao, "To be honest, sometimes I really feel a little unreal, watching such a big spaceship can fly, it feels like a science fiction movie has suddenly come true." ā€

"So, don't regret jumping ship to help me, right? What does it feel like to change the world together? Chen Wenhao said teasingly.

Dai Yuqian raised her eyebrows, "To be honest, I regretted it a little at first, the work was too unchallenging." But now," she said, raising the document in her hand, "I think the Foundation's things are very meaningful, especially after seeing our company's artificial intelligence. ā€

The two of them were chatting as they passed and reviewed the documents, and the atmosphere in the room was surprisingly warm.

For the CEOs of several major domestic logistics companies, there is not so leisure. In particular, several companies have invested heavily in air cargo, which is a little unspeakably depressed and panicked.

In recent years, all large domestic logistics companies have realized the importance of air cargo, and the layout has accumulated dozens of aircraft for a long time. As a result, since the advent of the spaceship, it has inevitably had an impact on the layout plans of each family.

There is a landing video of the spacecraft on the Internet when it was first tested, and the senior management of each company has basically gathered the team to watch it countless times, collectively held meetings to study and discuss, and repeatedly played important details in slow motion, and the atmosphere is more and more dignified, the reason is very simple, compared with traditional aircraft, the advantages of the new aircraft of the spaceship are too great.

Vertical take-off and landing, no runway, just make a flat open space; Pure electric drive, low cost, compared with the use of aviation fuel, the cost per ton per kilometer is definitely much lower; Unmanned, eliminating the cost of the flight team, and there is no need to rest; As for the capacity, the nominal 25 tons is comparable to the main cargo aircraft used by various companies today...... It's just that the flight distance is shorter, but the problem of domestic use is that it is great to set up a few more take-off and landing sites at the node position as endurance......

In this comparison, the balance in the minds of the leadership of each company began to tilt in favor of the spacecraft, and both performance and cost control were overwhelming. There are only two factors left that are still unclear: first, what is the final selling price, if it can really be controlled within 100 million yuan, it is not much different from the price of purchasing second-hand aircraft for reconstruction, which is undoubtedly more cost-effective, after all, it is new; The second is when it will be approved to be officially put into the market. If it can be approved, there is no need for companies to worry about safety or anything, and I believe that the Civil Aviation Administration will not dare to joke about this kind of thing. Besides, isn't there an insurance company at the bottom?

It is precisely because they know more about the spacecraft and attach more importance to it that the thorn stuck in the hearts of the leaders of various companies is even more obvious: Chen Wenhao has a stake in the logistics company independent of JD.com, which is not a secret in the industry. For the disruptors of the Jingdong logistics industry, everyone is very wary. Now, will the spaceship become JD.com's exclusive weapon? Will it be a turning point in the industry reshuffle?

Therefore, when I learned the news of this test flight, it is more important that it is directly related to whether I can get the airworthiness certificate and whether it can be officially commercialized.

In fact, as they were worried, Jingdong Logistics did have the idea of monopolizing the supply of spaceships, but Chen Wenhao refused. At the beginning, it was difficult to buy some shares, and it was also optimistic about the prospects of the new company, but it did not mean that a tree had to be hanged. Promised to give priority to supply to JD Logistics after commercialization, and at most give a preferential price, which can be regarded as fulfilling the responsibility of shareholders. In any case, Chen Wenhao is sitting on alien black technology, and there are too many ways to make money, so there is no need to be so narrow-minded.

Therefore, in the face of goodwill from other logistics companies, Chen Wenhao accepted them all. Don't you want to come to watch it live, come on, come on. When the time comes, there will be a lot of people, and there will be no such people.

……

A few days later, the mountain area behind the park, which is sparsely populated on weekdays, became lively again.

A flat, high-strength concrete runway area, marked with red paint, where the two ships are parked side by side several meters apart. The company's spacecraft team members accompanied the members of the aircraft airworthiness certification team of the Civil Aviation Administration of China and were finally inspecting the various test and monitoring instruments installed on the spacecraft.

In the outer area, Chen Wenhao accompanied a group of people in military uniforms and watched from afar. People in the army are very concerned about the new type of flying machine, and this time, in addition to personnel from the Equipment Development Department, representatives of the air, army, and navy have also come.

"Mr. Chen, why are there two spaceships this time?" Minister Wu is already officially in charge of the Equipment Development Department, and the sub-word on the previous name has also been removed. He is already very familiar with Chen Wenhao, and he has always supported his position, so the questioning is relatively casual.

"Today is to test whether the emergency safety measures are effective, many links will be carried out at high altitudes, the one on the right belongs to the follow-up shooting, and the camera is installed on the outside, and the whole process will be tracked next to the other test spacecraft." Chen Wenhao replied.

Minister Wu stared at him and turned his head to look over, "You mean, let these two spacecraft fly in close formation?" ā€

The reaction of the representatives of the Air Force was the strongest, and they immediately looked at it.

Representatives of the Army, the Navy also looked at it. All those who had a concept of close group flight were replaced with surprised eyes.

It is very common for aircraft to fly in close formations in military operations and air shows, but when have you ever seen a civilian aircraft do this? This requires precise control by the pilot, as well as the performance of the aircraft.

If this test can be successfully passed, then not only can all parties' concerns about the safety of the spacecraft be greatly reduced, but also add a lot of points to the unmanned piloting of the spacecraft. But is it really appropriate to make a new type of aircraft much more difficult?
