"You mean, I actually only need to hire a few engineers in the design of the aircraft to get my aircraft factory up and running."

"Of course, we are friends, and I can't deceive you, although I am very sure that I will convince the board and you to build an aircraft factory in Brazil.

However, now that our main focus is on our Bura Bazon plane, we really don't have much energy to expand.

If we set up a joint venture factory and we only sell technology, the board of directors may be worried that our stake can be easily diluted.

So, I suggest that you might as well just build an aircraft assembly plant.

Then hire several professional aircraft designers, complete their own design drawings, and directly carry out assembly production. ”

This may be the sequelae that Fang Lang brought from the afterlife, thinking that all the skills must be completely in his own hands to feel at ease.

But now I am not in my hometown, but in Brazil, which has maintained good relations with the United States in recent years.

There's no need to worry about getting stuck in your neck.

When I think of the United States, I think of the maintenance line of the aircraft, and I think of the American Shata Company.

A brand new idea suddenly appeared in Fang Lang's mind.

Now that he has a stake in Shata, he can get a retired transport aircraft from the United States at the lowest price, and then commercially modify it.

Sell to airlines that need it, so as to ensure the profit required for the company's early development.

You can also be familiar with the structure of each model,

At the same time, it is able to master a sales channel,

The company's technical strength can also be rapidly improved.

When your own aircraft is designed and assembled, isn't it very simple?

Even in the early stage, he can complete the corresponding technology accumulation by manufacturing certain parts for major aircraft companies.

Thinking of this, Fang Lang's eyes suddenly brightened.

However, Fang Lang is also very clear now that these things cannot be done by himself.

I don't know much about aircraft design, so the best thing to do is to find a professional to take care of it.

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Henderson, you have inspired me, and indeed as you said, the future is an era of global integration, and I can indeed produce my own aircraft through global sourcing.

I think I'll start with a one-day aircraft overhaul line, step by step from repairing and modifying aircraft, and enter the industry.

Avoid unnecessary losses caused by blind entry. ”

Of course, no matter which plan is followed, the factory must have its own core technology, so what are the core technologies of the aircraft?

There will definitely be a lot to say about the aircraft of the future, what a aerodynamic layout! Material structure! Avionics flight control system!! Engines! Many, much more!

However, the aircraft of this era are not so complicated for the time being, or the aircraft that Fang Lang wants to build does not need to be so complicated for the time being.

The most important technology now is definitely the engine, because there is a saying that the power does miracles.

Bart Osborne, former project manager of the American Lockheed Tactical Fighter Systems Division, said a phrase:

"As long as the thrust is large, the bricks can also fly into the sky."

Therefore, at this time, the engine is absolutely the most important core technology.

Fang Lang could hear from Mrs. Henderson's words, in fact, Mrs. Henderson was not sure that she could really convince the board of directors to agree to cooperate with herself, a novice who had no foundation at all, to establish a joint venture factory that only manufactured agricultural aircraft.

Mrs. Henderson also understood that Fang Lang heard his own shirking, or understood his difficulties.

That's why he took the initiative to veto the original plan to build an aircraft factory as a joint venture with himself.

It made him feel a little unapproachable.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Henderson said:

"If you really want to get into the aircraft manufacturing field, I think I can introduce you to someone who might be able to help you."

Mrs. Henderson's words made Fang Lang's heart happy, didn't she send a pillow over if she wanted to fall asleep?

What Fang Lang needs most now is precisely professionals.

"Really? Thank you so much, Mrs. Henderson. ”

Fang Lang looked at Mrs. Henderson expectantly.

"Don't be too upset, I'll tell you where this man is, but you'll have to tell him yourself.

His name was Ante Polmann, and he was a German who had worked on ME323 and Heinger

Development of the 111Z twin machine.

This is a crazy guy whose design philosophy of the aircraft design was a bit difficult for us to accept, so we didn't keep him.

However, if you want to set up a brand new aircraft manufacturing enterprise, you may be able to hire him to help. ”

These words made Fang Lang stunned, what do they mean, the aircraft design concept is difficult for them to accept.

It can't be some kind of double machine just mentioned!

There's no future for this thing! It's not a big deal to do.

It's better to ask a little more clearly.

"You said that his design concept is a bit difficult to accept, what do you mean, can you talk about it?"

"What do you mean by that? He was a crazy admirer of a technique called the variable sweep wing and studied him very deeply.

It is said that this technology was proposed by the Messerschmitt company and designed a P.1101, which could not have been successful.

Specialists in our company found him somewhat whimsical.

But it is undeniable that he is definitely a qualified aircraft designer. ”

Variable swept wings? Isn't this a technique for an F14 tomcat?

That's a great thing!

Suddenly, I felt that these aircraft experts of the Henderson family might really be bricks.

It's just that the elm doesn't have an open head.

It can't be described as conservative anymore.

However, this is good news for Fang Lang!

At least this technology has been proven and feasible in the future!

So what are you waiting for? Try to make yourself appear calm:

"Oh! Then I wonder where this Mr. Ante Polman aircraft designer is? ”

"He was German and has now returned to his hometown of Oberndorf in Baden-Württemberg.

If you want to hire a professional, then I think he will be a qualified candidate. ”

According to Fang Lang's itinerary, his next stop was originally Germany, so this did not conflict with his itinerary at all.

Fang Lang even had a feeling that he might have picked up a treasure this time.

The mood suddenly became excited.

"That's fine, my next battle is Germany, maybe I can go and talk to him.

However, Mrs. Henderson, I don't know if the aircraft assembly plant I set up can introduce a few piston engine technologies to Bristol.

If that doesn't work, we can sign a contract, as can we buy engines from Bristol.

Or, introduce me to someone who works at Rolls-Royce and I buy or purchase a few engines from their company. ”

Fang Lang set his requirements very low, and even had some hints of pleading.

It's not that Fang Lang is cheap, he just wants to put a little pressure on Mrs. Henderson.

After all, you are not sure to convince the board of directors to build a joint venture factory, and I will not mention it again.

Now if you want to introduce a few engine technologies, if you can't, you can buy them directly!

If you still don't think it's okay, then introduce me to another aircraft manufacturer in the UK, it's always okay!

As a businessman, it is obviously impossible to introduce your business to others.

So the option of introducing Rolls-Royce is definitely not a no-go.

That is left, the introduction of engine technology and the simple sale of engines to him.

Selling the engine to Fang Lang obviously became a simple business.

In this way, the close relationship between Fang Lang and the Henderson family cannot be revealed.

There aren't many options left for Mrs. Henderson.

Sure enough, before Mrs. Henderson could speak, Reinhardt, who had been listening to the conversation between the two on the side, spoke first.

"Mom, I think it shouldn't be difficult to sell a few sets of engine production technology and guide Fang's factory to master the technology!

If the board of directors still disagrees, find a few reasons to fire a few engineers who have mastered these techniques.

I'll help Fang Lang rehire them.

If they don't want to leave the UK.

We can hire them directly to the Aston Martin factory to build the engines. ”

Mrs. Henderson thought for a long time before she said:

"Fang, we have people from the British military on our board of directors, so there may be some things that I really can't provide to you.

However, just now Reinhardt's words reminded me.

We cannot supply these technologies to countries outside the UK, however, they can be made available to companies within the UK.

That is, we can provide these technologies to your Aston Martin factory.

It is even possible to arrange for people to go to the Aston Martin factory to guide production, as Reinhardt said.

Once the Aston Martin factory has mastered these technologies, it's very easy for you to get them.

Isn't it? ”

Fang Lang didn't expect Reinhardt to be so powerful and help him come up with such a good idea.

Not only would this be able to circumvent UK government regulations, but it might also give Aston Martin some new inspiration for engine technology.

It's a great idea to kill two birds with one stone.

Fang Lang slapped his hand and said:

"That's great, Reinhardt, you're a genius.

Ha ha..... Now I think buying Aston Martin is a really great option.

Perhaps, Aston Martin will be able to work more deeply with Bristol.

Reinhardt: What do you think of the all-aluminium Aston Martin?

Will it be lighter than it is now, will it run faster than it is now, will it win the Grand Prix again? ”

Hearing Fang Lang's words, Mrs. Henderson didn't understand what Fang Lang had in mind.

But it is obviously impossible for him to jump out and oppose it directly.

Because she knew that with his son's affection for Aston Martin, he would not hesitate to approve.

Even if she refuses now, he will definitely find a way to make it happen.

Sure enough, Reinhardt listened to Fang Lang's words, slapped his thigh and stood up, walking back and forth in the room.

There are still words in the mouth:

"That's right! How did I not think of that? Aluminum, that means less weight, and see if you can get some new inspiration from aircraft engines.

Further increase the power of the engine. Oh my! Is it possible for such an Aston Martin to reach speeds above 180 miles per hour?

Isn't this a world record? If only I had an Aston Martin like this. Oh, my God! ”
