Chapter 858: The strictest sanction in history, the Nanshan Group is in danger
The calm before the storm.
The various actions on the American side, Daystar's side is not known for the time being.
However, after the rendering of the Eagle heavy transport helicopter was released, Zhao Tianling from AVIC couldn't help but fly to Yangcheng in person, and wanted to communicate with Daystar Technology in detail.
"Mr. Cao, the pictures of the new helicopter released by Daystar Technology here are developed against Sikorsky's CH-53, right?"
Zhao Tianling's first question when he saw Cao Yang was a content that was making a lot of noise on the Internet.
For general civilian products, if you borrow (copy) and appraise (attack) other people's products openly, it is estimated that many people will be scolded.
"He actually entrusted us to go to Daystar Technology to import a Kunpeng and Golden Eagle heavy transport helicopter."
Because once the relevant policies are implemented, it will have a relatively large impact on the auto industry in the United States, so Boeing has also fully communicated with Ford, General Motors and other car companies.
Although the profit from selling engines is certainly not as high as selling aircraft, it can also help Daystar Technology amortize costs.
"Overall, I think we can definitely eat part of this part of the market in the end."
In particular, the emergence of the Kunpeng heavy-duty transport helicopter has directly had a huge impact on the export of Boeing CH-47.
Although Xia Hong had a hard time accepting the American side's approach, she was able to see why the other party did that.
Now the United States has included Nanshan Automobile Group, a completely civilian, completely market-oriented and competitive enterprise, into the target of sanctions, and the appearance is absolutely very ugly.
The high-tech image is an important label for the United States, and if this label is lost, the potential impact is huge.
"The more they are afraid of something, the more we have to do something for them!"
The reason why the CH-53 is widely used by the Marine Corps and various fleets in the United States is because of its excellent performance on the water.
This is one of the most competitive places in Huaxia.
At this time, the discussion on the American side of Daystar Technology and even the entire Nanshan Group is also intensive.
"Of course, if it's too small, it's even worse, and there are too few people and equipment to be loaded at one time to play its due role."
"At that level, the amortization expense of various costs has dropped rapidly."
"Coupled with the sales volume of Daystar, the output of related engines will definitely exceed 2,000 units, or even 3,000 units."
The subsidiaries of Nanshan Group have set world records one after another, subverting many people's cognition.
"Even by communicating with dealers, we can eventually guide consumers to buy our models."
Cao Yang, who was in a daze, woke up at once.
I want to remind Cao Yang to see if they have any plans to deal with it.
Not many people know about the phone that Cao Yang personally carried.
In the middle of the night, Cao Yang had already fallen asleep, but Xia Hong's phone still called.
"And in order to meet different use needs, our Golden Eagle will also design several models."
Anyway, as long as the general direction is determined, the problems behind it are not so big.
"Although we had expected this day to come sooner or later, we didn't expect it to come so soon."
If Daystar's Golden Eagle comes out, what else is it selling?
"Grabar, what does Mill Helicopter Plant mean by this?"
"I haven't succeeded in copying it for so long, and now there is no additional technological progress, so there's no reason why it can be copied all of a sudden, right?"
But on the whole, they are still eating their old books.
After close discussions during this time, he also has a better understanding of the ideas of other giants such as Boeing.
"The technological progress of Nanshan Group is too fast, and it is estimated that many companies on the Meili Home side are feeling the pressure."
Therefore, the use of related funds is not so sensitive.
"If you can figure out this secret by buying two prototypes and dismantling them, then the price is still very well worth it."
"The CH-53 has proven its usefulness with countless records, so our styling and size this time are mainly based on the CH-53."
As the president of Ford Motor, Murali must be most concerned about the interests of Ford Motor.
"This kind of heavy-duty transport helicopter is really a product that we need very much in China."
Melgen has been dealing with Nanshan Group for many years, and he is relatively familiar with the situation of the other party.
"This time, the American side is ruthless."
Dead friends do not die poor.
Mulally used to be a vice president of Boeing, so he was naturally familiar with Boeing's various businesses.
After all, there was indeed a gap between Huaxia and the United States in terms of high-end military products, and this point still needs to be objectively recognized.
Cao Yang's words are really from his heart.
In addition, Daystar Technology is also a key enterprise supported by relevant departments, and it enjoys a lot of various preferential policies.
At least Cao Yang himself can't accept it.
"Then we will let them continue to see that the Nanshan Group cannot be suppressed."
When AVIC was very sensitive to the performance of Daystar Technology, the polar bear, which had not been taken too seriously, also reacted a little at this time.
The Prius is clearly not very optimistic about the imitation work of the Mill Helicopter Plant.
Zhao Tianling asked another question that he was more concerned about.
"Like the Polar Bear, the Mi-26 is larger than the CH-53, but it is too big to be practical as a carrier-based helicopter."
"For example, the tail can be divided into foldable and non-foldable, and the propeller can be divided into foldable and non-foldable."
After Huaxia Station received the news from the American branch, Xia Hong called Cao Yang without any hesitation.
"The U.S. side is jumping off the wall in a hurry this time."
"The Kunpeng is against the Boeing CH-47, and the Golden Eagle is against Sikorsky's CH-53."
"Murali, if this proposal is really fully implemented, then we will not be able to import their models from Xingchen Motors for sale in the American market in the future."
Some of the associated companies have even built assembly plants in Mexico.
In recent years, polar bears have also continued to pay attention to the military industry, so that some projects can be developed on the basis of their ancestors.
"The performance of these two products is very good, and various helicopter-related companies such as the Mill Helicopter Plant have tried to produce these two aircraft before, but they have failed."
According to his understanding, the American side may not use such a big move until around 2017.
"Thank you Xia Tai for reminding us, although this matter has a big impact on our group, they want to rely on these plans to kill us, and this wish is estimated to be in vain."
"As long as the CH-53 has the features, our Golden Eagle will have it."
But this time the situation is clearly different.
Otherwise, Xia Hong would not be so angry.
"There will be a breakthrough in the weight of the aircraft itself, the maximum take-off weight, and the cruising range."
"The more engines of the same type are used, both production costs and after-sales maintenance costs can be reduced together."
The market was there, and he felt that there was a way to do it.
This is something that the United States will never accept.
Among the five major groups, Nanshan Automobile Group is the most closely related to the American market.
Just let the people below do it themselves.
As vice president in charge of technology, Prius is very aware of the changes in the industrial technology of Polar Bear and Huaxia.
"However, the communication with Nanshan Automobile Group must be done well, so as not to use any radical tricks and let us fall into passivity."
Melgen wasn't particularly nervous.
Except in certain fields, most of Huaxia's industrial technology has actually surpassed that of polar bears.
"No problem, all of our products are sold externally."
However, Nanshan Automobile Group is different, whether it is the export of vehicles or the sales of parts, there is a lot of business in the United States.
Previously, no country in the world could threaten the United States in terms of its high-tech image.
For example, this time the purchase of a helicopter from Huaxia was the first time the Prius had encountered it.
"In this way, it has the function of hovering on the water surface, which can better serve the amphibious team."
The engine has always been a weak point for Huaxia.
Cao Yang and Zhao Siyu didn't refute after hearing this.
The rise of Daystar Technology has undoubtedly had a relatively large impact on Boeing.
Now that this part of the money is gone, Murali is naturally reluctant.
When Melgen said this, Murali breathed a sigh of relief.
"The CH-53 helicopter is not used in our country, and it is difficult for Daystar Technology to find one to come back and disassemble and imitate it."
Last year, Polar Bear Import and Export Corporation also imported several high-end machine tools from Nanshan Equipment.
"Daystar Technology Group, Honor Technology Group, Nanshan Automobile Group and other companies are all on the list."
"Now that Huaxia can actually do it, everyone is naturally curious about how the other party did it."
Ordinary people would never call Cao Yang at such a time.
That is, the foundation of the ancestors is thick enough, and eating the old book can also make them eat very competitively.
But if you change places and have to eat decades of old books, it is simply impossible.
"However, our high-power turboshaft engine is developed for heavy-duty transport helicopters, and all aspects of material use and process requirements are relatively high, which ultimately leads to high costs."
But there is no essential change in the basic things.
"We were working on several medium-sized transport aircraft, but we couldn't find a suitable engine to match it."
"Whether it's in the eastern seas or in the southern seas, it has a very huge effect."
Just get in touch with Daystar Technology step by step.
"And even at this time, if some of our parts are still not able to switch smoothly, we can also apply for a special exemption."
He also knew that Daystar Technology would not try hard to hack himself, and the so-called high was also relative.
"You have to be mentally prepared for this, too."
"In terms of fuselage materials, it is also an exclusive technology that completely belongs to Daystar Technology."
However, after the Huaxia side was equipped with so many advanced equipment at one time, the funds spent were less than those of the United States.
"Aren't they all able to produce the Mi-26 with a higher load on their own?"
This speed of equipment may have taken the United States a decade, or even decades, to achieve.
"Boeing has no problem with Daystar Technology, even if it kills Daystar Technology, there is no problem."
……
The aerospace industry is considered to be the dominant industry of polar bears, and generally speaking, the polar bear import and export corporation is responsible for this aspect of the business.
Anyway, you can't let Nanshan Group continue to grow bigger and stronger.
The export of military products is a very important export business of polar bears, and relevant domestic enterprises definitely do not want this part to be snatched away.
As the vice president of technology of the Polar Bear Import and Export Corporation, the Prius felt that it was a bit strange to receive a task in the past two days.
"Mr. Cao, can the helicopter engine produced by your company be sold to the outside world?"
Although a lot of progress has been made over the years, it will be even greater in the future.
However, he quickly thought of another question, and said: "Those models of Xingchen Automobile are selling well in the United States, if there is no way to sell them, can we launch similar models to occupy this part of the market?" ”
"Even on land, after cooperating with Kunpeng, it can play a very big role."
Engines on the helicopter side are no exception.
"In the future, the production of various heavy helicopters produced by us will most likely exceed 1,000 units."
"At that time, after the policy is announced, a three-month buffer period will be given, and the full implementation will begin on January 1, 2014."
Several other groups have either been engaged in before, or the intersection of their own businesses is not very deep.
"Yes, but the other party gave a certain transition period, and the relevant policies will be fully implemented on January 1 next year."
At this time, there is naturally nothing to worry about.
Previously, when Daystar Technology made the Kunpeng heavy-duty transport helicopter similar to the CH-47, because the polar bear did not have a similar product, there was no competition.
Especially in the semiconductor industry and the high-end machine tool industry, the gap between everyone is getting bigger and bigger.
Cao Yang is also relatively clear about this.
When normal competition can kill you, people must promote free competition.
Even the United States' own internal procurement will find ways to reduce prices.
Grabba is exposed to various things every day, and he still looks at problems from a relatively high angle.
"I don't know the function of the Golden Eagle in this regard, is it also considered?"
"They're not trying to suppress us."
There are really not many aero engines that can be used by AVIC.
Daystar Technology is only now starting to engage in the same type of aircraft, if the performance can not surpass others, it is a bit too much.
However, with new import and export businesses, they can charge a certain management fee as an intermediary.
"Heavy transport helicopters use two engines, and we'll just use one."
"According to the performance of the CH-53, the bottom of their fuselage is designed with a watertight engine room, which mimics the structure of a ship."
As soon as Grabba said this, Prius was a little speechless.
……
"This can't be said to be a problem, after all, Daystar Technology has not made a profit so far, and the relevant funds are mainly provided by other companies in Nanshan Group."
"In the end, although our Golden Eagle heavy transport helicopter is highly similar to Sikorsky's CH-53 in appearance, it can be improved in terms of performance."
It is necessary to unify the opinions within the United States first, otherwise it will be funny if there is internal discord at that time.
However, in 2013, many new engines had not yet been developed.
Xingchen Automobile's Xingtu, Yangwang and other models have always sold well in the United States, and most of the profits from this part go into Ford's account.
As long as it doesn't affect the interests of Ford Motor, then many things are much easier to accept.
However, for high-end military products, this approach will not only not be scolded, but will be regarded by many netizens as a manifestation of the improvement of technical strength.
Either we don't do it, or if we want to do it, we will work hard towards the world's most advanced level.
"But if you engage in Nanshan Automobile Group, isn't it a bit unreasonable?"
Polar bears are also thinking of selling more of their heavy transport helicopters to Huaxia.
"Whether it's chip processing or various production equipment, or carbon fiber and special steel, and now rockets, satellites and helicopters, you can say that they have completely led the development of many technologies, which is something that the United States cannot accept at all."
Melgan, as the vice president of Ford Motor, naturally participated in the discussions initiated by Boeing and other companies to completely ban Nanshan Group.
As a very special existence in China, Daystar Technology has not only developed a recyclable rocket like Daystar 9, but also made a powerful product such as a twin-tailed scorpion drone.
AVIC Helicopter has also been deeply involved in the helicopter field for many years, but the results so far are not satisfactory.
It seems that Daystar Technology has made several heavyweight products one after another, which can be regarded as a very huge stimulus to the other party.
"Mr. Cao, the United States has just announced a policy of comprehensive sanctions against Nanshan Group, and all American companies are not allowed to import any products from companies under Nanshan Group."
Even it can take off and land safely in dense fog on the sea, something that many helicopters can't do.
When Cao Yang said this, Zhao Tianling didn't care.
Just like the Kunpeng heavy-duty transport helicopter, after mass production begins next year, it will be equipped with related departments on a large scale in the next few years.
Now the boss has no opinion, and Prius doesn't want to say anything more.
Anyway, it is not Ford Motor that is unlucky, and Murali will definitely not stand firmly on the side of Nanshan Automobile Group.
I didn't expect the patience over there to be so poor, and now I can't wait to deal with the Nanshan Group in an all-round way.
"I'm going to talk to R&D about this and see if we can fully consider this aspect when developing the next generation of products."
There is no other product on the market to compete with them, and there is not much pressure on Sikorsky to renew.
"After all, we have to give it a try, after all, even Huaxia's little brothers can make products, there's no reason why we can't make them."
Hearing Cao Yang say this, Zhao Tianling became more and more envious.
With the wisdom of Huaxia people, with Huaxia's production speed and production capacity, once a breakthrough is made in technology, the explosive power is definitely very exaggerated.
Now that it can't be done through normal competition, people have begun to use all means without a bottom line.
Again, the opinion of the General Motors side must be similar.
But over the years, Huaxia has been challenging the United States one after another.
"However, in terms of engines and avionics systems, we developed them ourselves."
Zhao Tianling is also an industry insider, and he is naturally familiar with various situations.
The United States has come up with an unprecedented all-round sanctions plan, which is to kill the Nanshan Group.
"However, its layout and comprehensive performance in all aspects are indeed very good, and some things are definitely worth learning from."
But what does this have to do with the automotive industry?
"They believe that the rapid development of Daystar Technology is due to the financial and technical support provided by other companies such as Nanshan Automobile Group."
"It takes time to replace auto parts, and if they announce comprehensive sanctions against Nanshan Group next week, it will directly lead to the supply of parts for some of our models, right?"
Xia Hong also has a good understanding of the situation of the entire Nanshan Group.
Whether it is a Mi-26 or Mi-17 helicopter, although the size is different from the CH-53, the market for which there is a certain overlap.
Chips, rockets, carbon fibers......
"Nanshan Automobile Group is also in the target?"
In particular, Huaxia's products are often surprisingly competitive, and if the product performance is also better than that of polar bears, it will be a big trouble.
"Everyone is aware of this situation, and General Motors has also issued relevant opinions."
But this time a product similar to CH-53 is going to be done, and their attitude is different.
After the consensus among the major companies in the United States, the proposal of the relevant departments was soon officially released.
"If both of these issues can be solved, then I don't have any special opinion."
In this case, it is obviously unrealistic for the Mill Helicopter Plant to easily reach the level of Daystar Technology.
"And we don't have a way to import relevant parts from Nanshan Auto Parts."
Now to be able to continue to catch up, and even surpass in some fields, that is a very remarkable existence.
After all, Daystar Technology is a Chinese enterprise, not imported from overseas.
In addition, Zhao Tianling has made it clear that he produces medium-sized aircraft, and there is no direct competition with the products on the side of Daystar.
"But the impact on you should still be huge, right?"
"In particular, Nanshan Automobile Group has a lot of businesses related to the American market."
So their people just take a look and don't particularly mind.
Sikorsky developed the CH-53 in the sixties, although several generations of facelifted models have been introduced over the years.
"After giving full play to the late-mover advantage in this way, I believe that the Golden Eagle will be the most advanced in its class in the next ten years."
"We are also communicating with the relevant departments to see what suggestions they have, and we are trying to meet the requirements of the relevant departments as much as possible."
Obviously, the American side is going to tear its face this time.
However, Cao Yang does not plan to negotiate the specific sales price with Zhao Tianling.
The United States has already done everything, and Cao Yang naturally doesn't plan to hide it.
At that time, under the suppression of the United States, Nanshan Group will still be able to continue to launch various world-leading products to see what the world will think of this matter.
