Chapter 282: Formation of the Su Aviation Consortium
After simple negotiations, Ukraine reached an agreement with Sushi, in which Sushi guaranteed a $1 billion loan to the Union Bank of Switzerland, and at the same time, the Ukrainian political axe transferred 80 percent of the shares of Su's Topaz Company and Antonov Design Bureau for $150 million.
Su Ming wanted to buy it as a wholly-owned company, but unfortunately the Ukrainian people refused to let go, and finally the two parties had to agree that if Ukraine decided to transfer this part of the equity, Su was the only person to take over, and at the same time, the Ukrainian political axe only enjoyed 20% of the dividend rights, without any management rights and management rights.
In this way, the shares in the hands of the Ukrainian side have no effect, Su Ming can barely accept such conditions, and at the same time, coupled with the Mikoyan Design Bureau, Su has formed an aviation joint production body from the engine to the radar system and then to the whole aircraft design, and the formation of this production body has become a logical thing.
Su Ming ignored the clamor and disturbance of other countries, and as soon as the acquisition was completed, he immediately began to form the Su's United Aviation Group on the basis of the current several companies, and the branches were still running with their strength, but they were soliciting business and developing business in the name of the United Group, with Sun Xian as the general manager, and the heads of Xu Li, Neheki, and Topaz companies and the Antonov Design Bureau all held the posts of deputy general managers and formed a meeting of decision-makers.
The establishment of R&D centers in China, Kiev and St. Petersburg, with the Institute of Aviation Technology Development led by Xu Li as the coordinating body, assigning their respective R&D tasks, and building large-scale production bases in China and Pakistan respectively.
For Su Ming's insistence on not allowing the state to intervene in the acquisition, the establishment of Su's United Airlines did not receive any support from the state, except for a few partners sent a congratulatory letter, there was no reaction, as if the establishment of Su's United Airlines was insignificant, and did not cause any ripples.
On the contrary, other countries are very hyped, especially in the aviation industry in the West, as for India or something, even if there is a voice, no one listens, but when it comes to it, Su is really not a behemoth, and the Western media is just saying that the wolf is coming.
Needless to say, second-rate enterprises like Dassault, with annual sales revenue of more than one billion US dollars, far from being able to compare with Su's joint aviation of several enterprises, the total asset size of the assessment is only about two billion US dollars, and the value of the two engines of the SS series and PW-S series is more than one billion US dollars.
At this time, Su announced its own A-level partners, namely the domestic 611 Research Institute (132 factory), Pakistan Airlines Joint Production Complex, Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Complex, Grumman, Rheinmetall, and Galileo.
Half of them are Western companies, which also makes people very puzzled by the nature of Su's surname, can it be said that the barriers and trenches caused by the Cold War have no impact on this company at all, think about it, when Su was founded, the Soviet Union had collapsed, and naturally there was no Cold War color.
On the one hand, the Komsomolsk-on-Amur aircraft production complex is to arrange the mood of Russia, on the other hand, the Komsomolsk-on-Amur aircraft production complex has a very good relationship with both the Mikoyan Design Bureau and the Sukhoi Design Bureau, and the relationship with China is also very good, China's Su-27 is produced by this company, and the later assembly parts are also produced by him, and he guides China to assemble, and the Su-30 purchase agreement that is being negotiated is also provided by this company.
At the same time as the formation of the company, the Institute of Aviation Technology Development issued a research task, and the Mikoyan company must cooperate with the topaz company to come up with a technical plan for Thor as soon as possible, and the surname can not be lower than the Western version of Thor, and at the same time require that it can be equipped with Chinese weapons.
And the Antonov Design Bureau, in addition to the original seven An-124 transformation is still in accordance with the original design continues, Su Ming gave them a new task, to design a transport aircraft of about 40 tons, must be multi-purpose, the cargo hold can carry large equipment, can also load a large number of personnel, according to market forecasts, this load class transport aircraft is the most versatile, but also the most flexible, like the An-124 or An-225 kind of heavy transport aircraft, in addition to the inconvenient take-off and landing of this shortcomingThere are many times when the goods cannot be filled, and the surname price ratio is not prominent.
The new transport aircraft power system Su Ming is ready to use a composite structure, two SS200 improved large bypass ratio turbofan engines and two enlarged versions of the PW-S engine, Su Ming told the other party that the previous airframe can be used, only need to improve the power system and airborne avionics equipment, I didn't expect the Antonov Design Bureau people immediately said that the mature airframe Antonov has a lot of them, that is, the power system and airborne avionics equipment are troublesome, and it is better to redesign one with the previous scheme, As long as the powertrain is mature and reliable, it is very easy for them to come up with a model.
Su Ming of the Mikoyan Design Bureau did not let them be idle, in addition to instructing them to speed up the development of Thor, Su Ming's envisioned heavy multi-role fighter MiG-31, Su Ming also told them the idea, let them first come out with a MiG-31 with a replacement engine and iron-aluminum alloy shell, and see how good the effect is and continue to improve.
The engine can increase the thrust, and the weight can be reduced by changing the shell, so that the problem of flexible maneuverability that plagues the MiG-31 can be alleviated, as for the backwardness of the longitudinal system and the avionics system, wait for the prototype to solve it first, Su Ming mainly wants to see if there is any value in continuing to improve such a MiG-31.
For this new type of MiG-31, the people of the Mikoyan Design Bureau are more confident than Su Ming, as the designer of the MiG-31, how can they not know where the shortcomings of the MiG-31 are, once the problem of maneuverability is solved, the MiG-31 can make all the fighters face him with a powerful radar surname, there is no ability to fight back at all, just the radar can not turn on the machine can make this aircraft lose all combat effectiveness, can it not be said that only by visual inspection can hit a target flying at more than twice the speed of sound.
Although Su Ming is not as optimistic as them, he also thinks that the idea is very good, this is a thorough offensive weapon, a huge bomb load, powerful radar ability, and high-altitude and high-speed specialty, once it enters the state of surprise, there is no line of defense to stop it.
With the support of Su's behind, these companies have invited the original researchers back, although a large number of companies in Europe, America or China have been invited over, but there are still a large number of people living in all walks of life in the country, hearing the call of the old master, the situation of the enterprise is very good, many people choose to return, in this way, stable and high salaries, sufficient and timely research expenses, so that these guys are doing a hot day, the research progress is also very smooth, the results are like soybeans in a hot pot, jumping out non-stop.
However, the expenditure of funds also made Su feel a lot of pressure, and his own funds could no longer be invested, not fortunately with the profit support of Su Group, otherwise Su Airlines itself would have dried up its funds, and it seems that the research and development of this game is really a money-burning game.
Expenditure is like flowing water, there is no way Su Ming had to use the company itself as collateral to borrow a sum of money from the Union Bank of Switzerland, and Su Shi finally embarked on the road of relying on loans to develop, which is also a road that must be taken by a company for development, either a loan, or a listing for financing, and Su Shi is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has not yet completed all the steps, and has not yet entered the sponsorship link.
Su Ming began to miss Ada's preciousness again at this time, although this Ada is smart, but he always bargains with himself, does not take him to upgrade, and does not want to get anything from him, but Su Ming has been busy recently, and there is this time.
The things that I got from Ada, whether it is a machine tool or two engines, can be said to be very important to Su Shi, if these things are just based on research and development, not to mention how much money it costs, even if it takes decades in time, and Su Ming got these things without any effort, how can Su Ming not be happy and miss the previous Ada.
Now Ada, no matter when, Su Ming wants to get something from him, he must take what he wants and exchange it with him, and the things he gives Su Ming are all very magical, but not the kind of systematic products with a wide range of uses, and for the Su family, there is no role in determining the surname.
In a fit of anger, Su Ming ignored it for several months, and this guy didn't ignore it every once in a while like Ada before, so he took the initiative to come over and communicate with Su Ming, this guy is good, he doesn't react if you don't speak, as if the two of them are angry to see who speaks first.
As far as Su's existing products are concerned, they haven't been completely eaten, and it is useless to come up with a new one, like that anti-gravity alloy, it is quite magical, but there is no possibility of mass production, and this kind of thing Su Ming does not want it to appear in the world.
There is no problem with enjoying it yourself, no one knows that these alloys are anti-gravity, just like the PW-S engine does not need high-quality gasoline at all, but no one has the courage to add water to try it, which is the limitation of habitual thinking.
If there is no accident or Su Ming announces it, this secret will never be discovered, and this secret Su Ming will never be distributed, and he will rely on this to make money in the future, how to make it public, it is with this advantage that Su Ming will be sure to dominate the air transport market in the future.
