"Uh, how much more?" Zhang Wei then thought of the cost factor, due to the use of a large number of new materials, new technologies, the cost of the J-10 is much higher than the previous domestic equipment of various types of fighters, if you add the cost of research and development, even cheaper than the Su-27 imported from Russia, and the J-10 is only a single-engine fighter.

Although the surname can be very good, and the military is also very satisfied, there have always been people who oppose the price of the Jian-10, on the grounds that the price of a single aircraft is too high, which does not meet the needs of a large number of equipment, and at the same time, it is worried that when the battlefield is lost, the economic value of the loss is too great, and it is recommended to continue to improve the original Jian-6, Jian-7 and Jian-8.

"It's hard to say at the moment, but two million dollars can't hit the bottom, and it's estimated that it will be even higher." Although it doesn't cost two million dollars to replace the engine and battery, once these are replaced, other things will naturally have to be replaced, and it is impossible to replace the high-power engine and super metal battery, and the electronic equipment equipped with it is still those.

"Well, let's leave that aside for now." Zhang Wei also felt that adding another 200 dollars would be a bit too high, and the military would not agree, the price of the Jian-10 had already made the military a little dissatisfied, and the number of planes that were originally prepared for equipment could now only be purchased for two-thirds of the number of planes.

"Now it's just a temporary test of the surname, and it's not too late to develop on the J-10 after the technology matures." Su Ming comforted them, and asked the family to come over from afar, but there was no gain and no gain, so there was naturally a sense of loss.

"I hope so." Looking at the thunder and lightning that were still dancing like light swifts in the sky, Zhang Wei had an indescribable feeling in his heart, this child who knew him best suddenly became ignorant, giving people a very uncomfortable sense of strangeness.

Su Ming didn't know what he thought, so naturally he wouldn't understand his feelings, Su Ming led them to his own company, and was ready to persuade these guys to open an aircraft maintenance service center here in his own place, that is, to serve himself, so many countries around him are either J-7 or MiG-21, and they can also ensure enough profits.

It is impossible for the high-level technicians of European companies to stay in a backward country like Africa for a long time, and Russian companies are now shrinking their business, and it would be good to be able to keep a few big customers, where such a poor and bitter brother can be taken care of.

At this time, it is a good time for domestic companies to seize the African market, and most countries are still equipped with old-fashioned second-generation aircraft, those who have money urgently need to be replaced, and those who have no money have to continue to maintain and make do with it.

For a weapon as complex as an aircraft, word of mouth or surname can be a very important factor, but service is also an important aspect, in the absence of war, word of mouth or anything nowhere to talk about, historical word of mouth needless to say, there is no history at all, even if the weapons exported, they are all imitations, you suddenly come up with a self-designed, people will definitely not sell it.

The United States wants to launch a war every few years, and it is because of many considerations, such as military training, testing weapons and equipment, experimenting with war thinking, and safeguarding interests, so that the United States firmly occupies the top spot in the world arms sales market, while Russia, although it has inherited most of the legacy of the former Soviet Union, is still in a state of desperation in arms sales.

"It's okay for you to say this, I'll react to the above, if the above approves, I'll be your companion, are you welcome?" Zhang Wei felt that Su Ming's proposal was very reasonable, China lacked everything else, that is, there was no shortage of people, and he was also willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, it was feasible to set up an after-sales maintenance center here, Zhang Wei also had great ambitions in his heart, thinking of the technology that Su Shi had come up with in recent years, he asked Su Ming with great interest.

"Of course you're welcome, if you come to work with me, then I'll be even more welcome." Su Ming didn't care that the other people in the 611 Institute were in front of him, and directly recruited Zhang Wei, making Zhang Wei so embarrassed, he glanced at the people around him, fortunately, there were no people who liked to make small reports, but for Su Ming's solicitation, he was a little tempted, but thinking about the career he loved, unless he was asked to go to the Mikoyan Design Bureau, there was really no place for him to play.

"Mr. Su is joking me again." In any case, people solicit themselves because they can afford to look at themselves, that is, they can't refuse directly, and they can't show their intentions, so they have to use jokes as an excuse.

"I'm going to set up an airline and run the air freight business, what do you think?" Su Ming saw that he didn't take the bait, so he didn't say more, but if this news spread to the 611 Institute, if someone used this as an article, it would be much easier for him to solicit it again, and now Su Ming made a very dependent look on the other party and asked his opinion.

Su Ming had this idea for a long time, but at that time he wanted to transform the An-124 into a version with a dual-energy engine, but after having a super metal battery, Su Ming thought that it would be better to transform it into an electric one, which would be cheaper and less costly.

Just like the transformation of thunderbolt, the engine is used to start when taking off, and the electric power is used to assist the flight when flying, and the An-124 has been transformed into a semi-ordinary engine and a semi-dual-energy engine, and now it is better to transform it into an all-electric propulsion, and only need to use the engine when taking off.

In this way, at least 200 tons of fuel weight can be saved by half, even if half is replaced with batteries, and the remaining half is replaced with load, so that there is also a load of 200 tons, and seven An-124s also have a load of 1,400 tons, and there is no problem in supporting a transportation company.

"This, Mr. Su, is your stall too open, as far as I know, you have always been very short of manpower, your recruitment speed is not as fast as your company, and the air transport market does not seem to be particularly large, this flight cost is too high."

As soon as Zhang Wei finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the performance of the thunderbolt just now, and immediately realized: "I know, you can transform the An 124 into a thunderbolt, so that the flight cost will be greatly reduced, there is no reason, Mr. Su, I really admire your business ability, you can transform technology into productivity, you are a qualified technical talent." ”

They have always regarded Su Shi as a professional technician, although Su Ming has always been secretive, as if he is hidden, but no one dares to ignore his professional ability, so they have always felt that Su Ming's most powerful thing is not technology, nor business ability, but can organically combine the two, and all technologies can play an excellent commercial use.

Su Ming smiled very modestly, if he didn't laugh, he couldn't be happy, but he didn't dare to show that he was too arrogant, he knew his own affairs, what level he was, but everyone knew that if it wasn't for Ada, he was still the most ordinary of all people, either as an ordinary worker in Pinggang, or he was on the streets and didn't know what to do for a living, and he was able to achieve his current career, thanks to Ada.

"Mr. Su, you are really thoughtful about the problem, and you have a long-term vision, it seems that I really want to come over and learn from you." Zhang Wei was still praising Su Ming, confusing Su Ming's praise, and didn't know what he meant.

"If the cost of flight is reduced, this place in Africa is naturally suitable for this mode of air transport, most countries here do not have qualified roads, there is no available railway, but there are many airports in each country, but the requirements of An-124 for airports are a bit too high, and there are not many airports that meet the take-off and landing." Zhang Wei explained a little, he thought that Su Ming had taken this situation into account when he bought An124, but he didn't know that Su Ming didn't think of this at that time, and after explaining the superior surname of air transportation in Africa, he was worried about the basic conditions of the airport.

"Well, so I'm going to develop a couple of air hubs, and then I'm going to buy a batch of medium-sized aircraft for regional flights, and these planes will be used for long-distance transportation." This Su Ming has thought about it, so Su Ming has been thinking about using that model of medium-sized transport aircraft to transform it.

Su Ming's most popular is still Yunba, that is, an 12, 20 tons of load capacity, after the transformation is estimated to reach about 30 tons, the most important thing is that there is a ready-made production capacity in China, there is no need to change what production line, and it is its own company's products, it is convenient to improve something.

The An-124 is a bit too big, and there are requirements for the length and strength of the runway, but the An-12 is a little too small, and it is best to develop a medium-sized transport aircraft to form three levels, using the An-124 between continents, using that one between countries, and using An-12 between cities.

There are several suitable models that can be used by the Antonov Design Bureau, but Su Ming is still considering that because of the lack of necessary production capacity, if the production is handed over to the Chinese side, there may be a violation of the original purchase agreement, which is a problem.

"Mr. Su, are you going to focus on transportation, or are you going to do transportation and trade together?" Zhang Wei asked with great concern, not that he was tempted by the position of this airline, but a little tempted by the development of Su's, if Su Ming was ready to develop the integration of transportation and trade, then it would be a promotion for many of Su's businesses, Su's huge has made him more and more interested, I don't know what it's like to participate in the formation of such a huge business empire, no, it's not a simple business empire, it should be said that it's a monster with armed forces and business empires, a monster with claws and teeth, Slowly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt a little scared.
