Section 278 Inquire about airplanes

Bai Hao looked at his watch.

waited until eight o'clock in the morning California time, Bai Hao called Catherine, but Catherine was not in California, but went to the Western continent to negotiate with a company in the bunker country to discuss technology exchange and sharing.

Luckily, 8 a.m. in California is 5 p.m. in Bunker Country.

Bai Hao waited for more than an hour, and at about six o'clock in the afternoon in the bunker country, he contacted Catherine, who had just returned to the hotel.

"Honey, I have something for you."

"If you have something, you won't contact if you're fine, and you won't call until you have something." Catherine grumbled.

Bai Hao smiled, even if Catherine couldn't see it, she had to smile and speak: "This, international long-distance is particularly troublesome, you have to be considerate of me." Seriously, really, there is serious business. ”

"Okay, you say."

After Bai Hao briefly told Lu Jieming about his encounter, Catherine asked very seriously: "Bai, do you think it is necessary for me to tell my grandfather the price of the plane, or is my grandfather interested in asking the price of the small plane?" ”

"No, but you can't rule out that Jeff said it." Bai Hao reacted, no wonder he felt very wrong.

Catherine asked a second time, "Okay, bypass Jeff." Let me ask you again, since you know the agricultural machinery distribution company, do you think they have the ability to inspect the aircraft in any way? ”

"I can't." Bai Hao gave a very definite answer.

Detecting aircraft, which should be the job of professionals.

Catherine asked the third: "Also, do you think a distributor of agricultural machinery can go through the FAA certification for you." ”

"I feel like they can't."

Catherine then smiled: "It's not stupid. ”

Bai Hao asked, "So, what is the truth?" ”

Catherine thought for a moment, "I guess they do things for someone else, too. Or maybe there's some other reason, so you can inquire again. Also, let me tell you something, I feel that this is the truth of airplanes. ”

"You say."

Catherine said: "There are people who are interested in airplanes, but they have nothing to do with that agricultural machinery company, but I don't know what is going on with that agricultural machinery sales company, and I am not interested in guessing." What I do know is that it was Goodage who bought my two little planes, and they bought them for Sonic Company. ”

"How is that possible?" Bai Hao felt a little incredible: "What kind of company is Sonic that buys this kind of small plane, is it used to be a target in the sky?" ”

"It's not."

Bai Hao asked urgently: "What is that?" ”

Catherine replied: "I don't know, they bought it, because the other party is a big company, and has some business dealings with us Haas, since I have spoken, I can't refuse." What's more, if I need to, you can just build a few more. But since you mentioned it, I'm also a little interested, let me ask. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your call."

The waiting time always passed slowly.

Bai Hao was puzzled, why did Goodqi Company buy two inconspicuous small planes for Sonic Company.

Ten minutes.

Bai Hao felt as if an hour had passed.

Finally, Catherine's call returned.

"White, good news."

"I love good news."

Catherine said slowly, "It seems that you underestimated that little plane. Goodage took a fancy to the extremely delicate production process of the aircraft, which, although simple, could be seen in the eyes of professionals. Explained in this way, two five-axis are placed in front of you, and I believe you can see the differences between these two five-axis in various details, as well as the advantages and disadvantages. ”

"No problem, even more than you think."

"Yes, professional people can see more things than we think, first of all, that little plane is a delicate work of art in their eyes."

At the mention of this, Bai Hao was happy: "It is specially customized for you, and it must be well-made." ”

"That's right, so there's a business that, if you want, might have to invest some money upfront. Goodage is an aerospace parts supplier that supplies a wide range of products to the three major aircraft companies. That small plane turned out to be a foldable and retractable landing gear, and the structure was very exquisite. ”

Catherine began to tell Bai Hao about the course of events.

"It's the landing gear, and one of Goodage's technicians was on vacation, and their private jet was on their way to the forest park, when they saw a small plane piloted by my grandfather. Their seven-seater planes all had fixed landing gear, while my grandfather's small one-man plane had no landing gear. ”

Bai Hao probably understood.

At that time, the landing gear was designed to be foot-moving, with a pedal on the foot, which could be put away by stepping on it four times, with a pop-up device, and it only required one kick to put down the landing gear.

This design is designed to save fuel for cruising, and secondly, it will not be hung by dwarf trees in ultra-low-altitude flight.

Catherine continued: "It was because of this that they were interested, and then after the research they were interested. I wasn't in California, they contacted my father, and they sold them two for $60,000. ”

"The good news? I want to listen to the specifics, and the details. Bai Hao began to care about the good news.

Catherine said: "It costs money, they see that the small aircraft is very well crafted, and they are interested in trying to cooperate with the nacelles, the landing gear, the wake. ”

Bai Hao asked: "What is a nacelle?" ”

"Big plane jargon, you're not in this specialty, and neither am I. If you ask the people who helped us build the plane, they understand, I only know a professional term for nacelles, the purpose is to protect the engine, there should be many parts, the content of the cooperation is a complete set, or a certain component I don't know. ”

"Probably know, it's the engine casing."

"It seems so, but it shouldn't be all, or not only."

"Understand, just figure out the general meaning, how many parts professional people understand this thing, I can understand what it is, I haven't dismantled it anyway."

Airplanes, for Bai Hao, this thing is definitely cross-industry.

Aircraft also belong to the manufacturing industry.

Tractors and wagons are also part of the manufacturing industry.

It's just that these two products, which both belong to the manufacturing industry, seem to be a bit different.

Catherine asked: "If you are interested, then I will ask Goodage to send the relevant documents, you will make the tested parts according to the standard, this will have a letter of intent, after the standard is met, there will be an order, so let's say, I can't help you, because I don't understand all the details of the aviation field, including how to do business." ”

Bai Hao actually didn't understand, but it didn't affect his business, let alone make him rich.

"Understood. Two laymen, this will talk about hundreds of millions of business, I only know that no matter what kind of business in the aviation field, it is a lot of mani. ”

When she said this, Catherine and Bai Hao both laughed.
