Chapter 257: An Aviation Superstar Born in Troubled Times but Ambitious

A few hours later, near the steel plant in the Jincheng Development Zone, the Fishermen's New Village Hotel.

Guo Xiangyang stood happily at the door, watching the bus drive from the steel mill, with a smile on his face.

This Mr. Qin is really, and he doesn't say hello in advance, let us prepare in advance, Airbus is a Fortune 500 company, a large company, they may have taken a fancy to Jincheng and can invest in projects here! However, with Mr. Qin here, there is no need to worry about anything, isn't the landing gear project of this passenger plane already negotiated?

There are more and more enterprises in the development zone, and it will become more and more prosperous here, they do not ask the state to invest a penny, they are completely made by themselves, and it will be better in the future!

With such an idea, Guo Xiangyang looked at the car parked at the door and greeted him warmly: "Everyone, welcome to our Jincheng, I am the person in charge of our Jincheng industrial project, if you have any ideas, you can tell me." ”

Wang Fang got out of the car and looked at Guo Xiangyang: "Uncle Guo, are you ready inside?" ”

"It's ready, all the dishes we have prepared for our foreign friends are the signature dishes here."

"Well, Mr. Qin is still in a meeting, come over later, let's eat first."

This Mr. Qin is really, isn't it just a meal, how much can it cost, and let the government pay for it, the nature of this iron rooster and Grande is getting more and more serious, but the group has been really short of money recently, and there are a lot of expenses for a meal.

Richard led his mermaid down, greeted Guo Xiangyang warmly, and then entered the hotel.

At the dinner table, a steaming meal was just set.

The central dish is the largest, with two king-size fish heads in it, and the eyes innocently look at everything around them, and the soup inside is rich and looks particularly tempting, which is the signature dish of the fishermen's new village, fish head cake.

Most of the seafood is placed next to it, after all, it is next to the sea, and when there was no industry in the past, the people here made a living from fishing.

"Come, everyone, these are our signature dishes, you can move the chopsticks with the chopsticks, and you can't move the spoon and fork with the chopsticks." Guo Xiangyang beckoned everyone: "Come, soak the cake in it, and let our foreign guests taste our oriental food." ”

After getting off the plane in the morning, the big guy ate a pack of self-heating instant noodles, and now his stomach is growling, and the food on the table is indeed full of color and flavor, and the big guy is moving his index finger, and when he heard Guo Xiangyang's greeting, he immediately started moving.

With a knife and fork in his hands and eating the cake stained with soup, Richard gave a thumbs up: "Delicious, delicious!" ”

"Come, Mr. Richard, try our stir-fried river prawns again......"

Seeing that the guests and hosts were happy, Guo Xiangyang spoke: "Mr. Richard, when you come to Jincheng and see the development potential of our development zone, have you considered coming here to invest and build a factory?" Your labor cost in Europe is high, we have abundant human resources here, if you invest in us to set up a factory, the production cost can be greatly reduced. ”

Wang Fang sighed with emotion in her heart, this Uncle Guo can lead the construction of the development zone, and he is really bold enough! I actually want to introduce Airbus products to assemble here!

Of course she wouldn't know that this was Qin Feng's idea for Guo Xiangyang.

The Yun 10 project is yellow, and the magic capital has begun to assemble the McDonnell Douglas 82 passenger plane, what about Jincheng? If Jincheng wants to develop and grow, it needs to also launch an aviation project! Let's work with Airbus to assemble Airbus' most advanced A320 aircraft!

Guo Xiangyang was excited when he heard it, and immediately found someone to coordinate, come here to organize a banquet, and then put forward his own requirements, at this time, his eyes looked at Richard, full of expectation.

"Mr. Guo, we at Airbus have no plans to produce passenger planes outside Europe for the time being." Richard hesitated.

"Then we'll be the first one." Guo Xiangyang sighed in his heart, Mr. Qin is so powerful, he can even guess what the other party will react to, and he also gave a perfect statement!

"You should know that McDonnell Douglas in order to expand its market share in our East, decided to assemble McDonnell Douglas 82 passenger aircraft in the magic capital, most of which will be delivered to our civil aviation department in the East, if you open a production line in our Jincheng, the production of A320 passenger aircraft, will also enter our civil aviation department in large quantities, everyone, our eastern sky, not only Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, but also Airbus!"

Richard was shocked, yes, if you come here to open a factory, it will be easier to sell Airbus aircraft! The market here can't be divided between Boeing and McDonnell Douglas.

"Moreover, there is the world's largest die forging press, and the most complex fuselage girders, landing gear, etc. in aircraft production can be produced in our Jincheng, and then directly into the aircraft assembly workshop, so that the transportation cost can also be minimized." Guo Xiangyang is happy in his heart, if Jincheng launches another passenger plane project, it will be his credit!

How are airplanes produced? It seems complicated to think about, in fact, it is simple and simple, the production of the aircraft starts from the frame, and the main beams, beams, and structural frames are pressed out from the die forging press, and then these are riveted together, and the overall structure of the aircraft comes out, and then the riveting skin, internal pipeline laying, equipment installation, etc.

In this way, it seems that Jincheng really has a production base for large aircraft! The 80,000-ton die forging press is the ancestor of the founding sect, and with it, many other industries have a foundation.

"We need to go through a detailed assessment." Richard said: "There is still a need for discussion from the board of directors of the company, so rest assured that we will take your proposal seriously and consider it carefully." ”

Richard can't make a decision all at once, this is a major event related to the development of the company, and it is different from asking Dongfang to help process the landing gear and the like.

"If you are willing to set up a factory with us, then we can help with sales, and we expect to have an order for 50 A320s." Guo Xiangyang threw out the king bomb.

If it was before, he would definitely not have this qualification. After all, local government has nothing to do with civil aviation.

In the past, civil aviation was even directly managed by the Air Force, and in 80 civil aviation became independent, and in 87 years, civil aviation began the second round of reform, with the establishment of 6 regional administrations, 6 backbone airlines, and 6 major airports. Jincheng can have a say in one of the backbone airlines, and as for the order of fifty aircraft, it is also what Qin Feng taught Guo Xiangyang to brag, and he doesn't know if he can order so much.

Casey's eyes widened instantly.

She doesn't know much about technology, she is engaged in sales, and she came to the East, mainly to promote the Airbus A320 passenger aircraft, but she didn't expect to come to Jincheng by mistake, and she didn't expect that the leaders here would actually help sell! She originally focused on oriental food, which she liked so much, but now, she was ecstatic, and in the future, she would focus on Jincheng and open a gap from here!

I knew this, what else did I fly to the capital, and I landed the A320 passenger plane directly in Jincheng!

"Mr. Guo, you can rest assured that we will work hard to promote this cooperation project." Casey spoke for the first time.

Guo Xiangyang was overjoyed and raised his glass: "Come, let's toast to future cooperation!" ”

Steel mills, offices.

"It was a nice chat, and the Europeans were tempted." Zhao Jiao said to Qin Feng: "Brother Feng, you don't still want to get involved in the aviation industry, do you?" ”

In the past six months, the stalls spread out by Pacific Group are too big! Originally, a steel plant was enough, but now there is a truck factory and a high-tech R&D center, all of which require a lot of investment, and if you build an aircraft factory......

"This kind of cooperation is not so easy, it is normal for the project to be demonstrated for three or five years, and we also have a lot of procedures to go through, and by that time, our Pacific Group has long since developed and grown, even if it is engaged in the aviation industry, it also has this strength." Qin Feng said: "Gillian, let's respond to the call of our superiors, be bolder and faster." ”

If it had been reborn a few years earlier, after the development, Qin Feng might have pulled eleven of them, but it was too late now, the preparation of the No. 3 machine of the Yun-10 had already been refined by the workers of the Modu Aircraft Factory with rivet technology, and the McDonnell Douglas 82 passenger plane had also been produced in full swing, if McDonnell Douglas was not acquired by Boeing, this road might be longer.

McDonnell Douglas is unreliable, and Boeing can't count on it, so it can only find Airbus, in the factory here in Jincheng, first assemble Airbus aircraft, learn modern passenger aircraft processing technology, and wait until later, they can break through the engine and other balances, and they can make their own passenger planes.

It's been a long road, and now it's just the beginning.

Of course, there is no need to tell Zhao Jiao about these, pretending to be forced in front of his own woman is not a good thing, Qin Feng looked at the window outside with a smile: "When they come back after eating, they will definitely put pressure on me with this project, do you believe it or not?" ”

Zhao Jiao smiled like a flower: "Faith." ”

An hour later.

There was the sound of brisk footsteps in the hallway, and a group of people walked into the conference room in a hurry. The chairs here are still hot, and the smell of smoke in the air has not dissipated, indicating that a group of people have just had a meeting here.

"Mr. Qin, has your discussion come to a conclusion?" Richard asked Qin Feng.

Qin Feng had a wry smile on his face: "There are a lot of requests from you, if there is only one of them, we will grit our teeth and agree, these three ......"

"Mr. Qin, as long as you agree to our request and process the structural parts of the landing gear and aircraft here, then we may consider setting up an aircraft production plant in Jincheng."

Zhao Jiao glanced at Qin Feng with admiration, Brother Feng is amazing, and his grasp of people's hearts is too accurate!

"Really? If that's the case, then we'll grit our teeth and agree. Qin Feng nodded: "However, in the contract, we have to write down the conditions, within five years, you come to the East to set up a factory, if you can't meet it, then we will take back the eight-percent discount." ”

"Okay." Richard nodded, I'll talk about it later, don't worry so much about it now, it's okay to have cheap parts such as landing gear and girders in five years!

"Now, let's talk about the details of the contract."

This kind of negotiation may take a long time, and each clause will be negotiated one by one, which may be months or even years, but if you only grasp the general direction, you can reach a preliminary agreement and sign a contract of intent in that afternoon.

Before nightfall, everyone got on the bus and returned to the capital, Qin Feng was happy in his heart, and now dinner was saved again! If there were three or five people, I could still invite them to dinner, but now there are twenty or thirty people, so many mouths, how much money does it cost, how many meal tickets do you have to use!

They came on their own, and when they returned to the capital, of course, they had to find a place to live, eat by themselves, and if they were the right ones, the civil aviation department should receive them.

Sure enough, when I arrived in the capital, the people of the civil aviation system had already arranged everything. The two sides handed over, and Qin Feng returned home.

"Another hard day!" Qin Feng got out of the car with emotion and looked at the people behind him: "Zhou Gong, Xiaofang, your first day of marriage was very meaningful, fortunately, it didn't delay your return to the door the next day." ”

Qin Feng came back with Zhao Jiao, and did not leave Zhou Minghui and Wang Fang behind, insisted on taking them back to the capital together, and came to the outside of the courtyard together, anyway, the two families live opposite each other, which is very convenient.

"By the way, if there is no fire at home, come to my side and go back after dinner......" When Qin Feng said this, he suddenly saw an old man standing at the gate of his courtyard.

He was wearing a three-button tunic and a tie, looking very fashionable, with a parted hair, but his hair was gray, and with his sallow face, he looked distressed.

Qin Feng was stunned, this old man looked very familiar.

"Mr. Qin, I'm Ma Fengshan, I just came back from the United States, and I heard that you were going to build landing gear and fuselage girders for Airbus, so I was very excited, so I came uninvited." Ma Lao spoke.

Ma Lao, the chief designer of Yun Shi! Looking at the person in front of him who was not yet sixty years old and had exhausted his life's energy, Qin Feng felt that his heart suddenly felt like he was stabbed by something.

Ma Lao, born in 1929, graduated from high school in 1949, determined to serve the country by aviation, applied for the Department of Aeronautical Engineering of Jiaotong University, and achieved outstanding results after work, participated in the design of the Songhuajiang No. 1 small passenger plane, Heping 401 short-range jet airliner and Heping No. 402 turboprop airliner, and in 64 years, he went to Xi'an to participate in the imitation work of the H-6, also known as the technical director of Yun-8.

It can be seen that Ma Lao has been associated with large aircraft and passenger planes all his life, so when the country decided to develop large aircraft in 70 years, Ma Lao was transferred to the magic capital, participated in the design work of Yun Shi, and became the head of technology.

Since then, Ma Lao has devoted all his energy and enthusiasm to the research and development of Yunshi.

The Yun-10 also lived up to expectations, finally completed the first flight, completed various flight tests, and just when it was ready to deliver to customers, the project ushered in a heavy blow.

And Ma Lao, also because of the long-term accumulation of illness and illness, his body, as early as a few years ago, has collapsed, but only a short rest, continue to work, from 85 years, with the team to the United States McDonnell Douglas to participate in the cooperation of the paddle fan engine, counting the time, three years have passed, just came back from the United States, and ran to Qin Feng's doorstep!

Qin Feng suppressed his complicated emotions and walked forward quickly: "Ma Lao, if you have anything, just make a phone call, I'll be on call, go, go into the room, Gillian, go with Xiaojing to cook a few dishes, I want to have a good drink with Ma Lao...... Eat! ”

Ma Lao is not in good health, even if he drinks, he has to have a good meal with Ma Lao.

"Okay."

Wang Fang's eyes widened, looking at all this, and then at his man: "Mr. Qin, there is no food ...... my house."

"Together, together!" Qin Feng said: "Have dinner at my house, let's accompany Ma Lao." ”

Ma Lao was moved on his face, over the years, he had seen enough red eyes, and he had also tasted the heat and coldness of the world, although the Pacific Group was not established for a long time, it is still a private enterprise, but this group has been very strong, and the ability to make money makes people sigh, if he had such a ability back then, Yun Shi may be able to develop by self-financing!

"Ma Lao, what are you doing in a daze, let's go, let's go in! Zhou Gong, you come too! ”

Walking into the main room and sitting on the sofa, Ma Lao spoke: "Mr. Qin, I heard that your Pacific Group cooperated with Airbus to help them process aircraft parts, landing gear, and fuselage girders. ”

"Yes, there were a lot of flaws at the time, but if you don't take the first step and stop in front of the flaws, you will never improve. If there are defects, we will improve the defects, and it is not so easy to build a large aircraft from scratch. Look at Airbus Europe, which started at the same time as our Yun-10, how much support they received. Qin Feng said.

Airbus also started in the 70s, and at the same time as the Yun-10, its birth was supported by the whole of Western Europe with the development of European integration, and even the United Kingdom began to disdain it, and finally joined in. It was the financial support of the United Kingdom, France, and Germany that allowed Airbus to withstand the continuous financial deficit of the first two decades.

That's right, in the past 20 years, Airbus has not made any money, because the development of passenger aircraft is to burn money, and the continuous development of first-class passenger aircraft means to continue to burn money! In the 80s, the United States launched a subsidy appeal against Airbus, accusing Airbus of not emphasizing martial arts and not engaging in market competition, and relying on the government to throw money.

Ma Lao sighed: "Yes, Mr. Qin, if we can get support, we will definitely continue to walk......"

Speaking of these, Ma Lao's mood was a little low.

As he spoke, the first plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes had already been served, steaming hot, this dish was the fastest.

"Come, Ma Lao, let's eat first." After Qin Feng finished speaking, he glanced at the direction of the kitchen: "Gillian, Xiaofang, Xiaojing, you are done with your work, come over and eat together!" ”

Qin Feng has no machismo, if he is usually at home, he is still willing to go to the kitchen with Zhao Jiao to work, but now that there are guests, someone must accompany him.

"Hmm." Wang Fang came out with the canned luncheon meat and canned fish, which were ready-made and relatively fast, plus a plate of peanuts, and quickly made up four dishes.

Elder Ma sat down at the table, his mood was still complicated, he picked up the chopsticks and put them down again: "President Qin, I came here this time to ask you, do you want to build our own Chinese airliner?" If you have this idea, I'll get the team together that has already dispersed! ”

The Yunshi project has been yellow, and the R&D team has been separated, but it is not long, Ma Lao believes that he can reconvene them together by his own ability, but he needs money!
