Remember [New] for a second,! When the employees get things done, the boss's task is very simple, as long as the money is ready. But spending money also requires skill, and arguably an art; not only to give money, but to make everyone feel comfortable. Polytechnic men have their own pride, and ordinary people really can't handle it. This is also the root cause of a large number of brain drains in many enterprises after successful entrepreneurship.

As the chief engineer of the Xiangjiang Monster Ground Effect Vehicle, Mike Briffin has basically stayed in Saudi Arabia for the past two years. At present, the performance of the water version of the Xiangjiang Monster has been stable; it is remarkable in terms of capacity, speed, and practicality. It is absolutely sufficient before the development of super-large products.

Therefore, engineers are now focusing on desert and swamp versions of ground effect aircraft. Although the nautical mile environment is complex, it is not very demanding for the engine except moisture and excessive salt to accelerate the aging of the engine. However, the desert version of the ground effect vehicle has to face a more complex environment. After the aircraft took off, it is still very appropriate to describe it as dusty. If the engine does not take sand control measures, the consequences are unimaginable.

At the same time, the swampy ground is very complicated. If there is no detection, it will fall directly; if you want to fly, it is not impossible, but at least it is not that easy. All of this is higher than the technical level of the marine version, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is newly developed.

Mike Briffin: "At present, the desert and swamp version of the ground effect aircraft have been successfully developed. It is mainly used to fly on flat ground such as deserts and swamps. The aircraft is 54 meters long; its wingspan is 26 meters; its own weight is 160 tons; its maximum take-off weight is 480 tons. ; It can load 220 tons of cargo; the maximum flight height is 44 meters. It is equipped with 4 Heiyun three-rotor 2 turbojet engines; the maximum flight speed is 480 km/h."

"Because of the use of many new materials, the titanium alloy has been reduced, so that the cost is only 35% of the Xiangjiang monster ground effect aircraft."

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan was still very satisfied; although the speed dropped significantly, flying close to the ground was much more complicated than flying over the sea. Therefore, the speed must not be too fast; the normal cruising speed, which is 300 km/h; at least give the pilot enough time to react.

The Xiangjiang monster ground effect vehicle is priced at $80 million, and now the cost has dropped further. But the price must not be cheap, otherwise the previous customers will be dissatisfied.

If you compare the Xiangjiang monster, the price of the desert version of the ground effect vehicle should be set at 28 million US dollars. The price is reasonable, at least in terms of capacity. Moreover, this aircraft is mainly aimed at Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia, and there will not be much sales elsewhere.

Nor can the price be set too rigidly, otherwise, no matter how rich the people in the Middle East are, they will definitely have great opinions.

Driving a desert version of the ground effect aircraft and doing anything in the desert will be much more convenient; it is also in line with the character of local tyrants.

Bao Zixuan: "Then the price is set at 28 million US dollars per unit. The main reason is to let the Saudi side see the sincerity of the black cloud. As for how much it sells, it doesn't matter."

"But those Middle Eastern tyrants should surprise us."

After the rich man Bao finished speaking, several engineers on the scene laughed.

Wang Quanming knew that it was finally his turn. As the department with the least obvious advantage of the Black Cloud Group, the passenger aircraft manufacturing company is under great pressure. In the current international market, the absolute hegemon is none other than Boeing; Airbus and McDonnell Douglas are much worse than them. In addition, there are regional aviation aircraft manufacturers such as Embraer and Bombardier, and the Warsaw Pact countries will also purchase aircraft from the Soviet Union. This makes the market competition very fierce. As a rising star, Heiyun has no technological and cost advantages at all.

If it weren't for the advanced design concept and the good performance of aero-engine energy saving, it would not necessarily be recognized by the market. Business is business, and you can only achieve temporary success in terms of face; if you want to cooperate for a long time, the quality of the product itself must be excellent.

This is also the reason why Bao's richest man needs to cooperate with several other companies; after all, it is really not that easy for the Heiyun family to gain a firm foothold in the highly competitive passenger aircraft market.

Because of McDonnell Douglas and Motorola, the US domestic market will not be crowded out. With the addition of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the channel to enter the Japanese market was also opened.

The existence of Heiyun Group has made the Asian and Middle East markets unstoppable.

And it is produced in the UK, so the UK will definitely support it. That is to say, the starting point is very high, and the next step is to see how the product quality is. Since the first two prototypes were assembled in McDonnell Douglas, the other three engineers did not pass much; they did not learn much. After all, McDonnell Douglas owns too many U.S. military projects; the secrecy is high, and it's really not that convenient.

If an engineer is kidnapped and finally arrested for espionage, it will be too late to cry. The U.S. military can do anything, but it has to be guarded.

Recently, Wang Quanming has only been upgrading the Heiyun 919 medium-sized passenger aircraft and other extended models; as for the super-large passenger aircraft, he has to wait until the construction of the British factory is completed, which has been stolen in the past.

Wang Quanming: "The passenger aircraft company mainly carries out the follow-up extension development of the 919 model. At present, the 919h cargo aircraft has been successfully developed. In terms of fuel consumption alone, it can save 15% compared with passenger aircraft, and it is absolutely competitive in the market."

"At the same time, the 136-144-seat passenger aircraft has also been developed, but this exhibition can only give a basic introduction, and it will take continuous test flights to bring it to the market."

The passenger aircraft manufacturing sector has a short start. And there is not much experience to learn from, after all, the technology still needs to be in line with international standards.

People will go into a misunderstanding and think that the Black Cloud Group can develop ground-effect aircraft, stealth fighter bombers, and flying saucers; for them, passenger aircraft is simply trivial and simple.

However, the above three products have all the technical drawings of the Germans. It is a bit blush to say that it is research and development, after all, only the engine is its own technology. That's because Bao's richest man controls the direction of engine research and development for the next few decades; it may be more appropriate to call it imitation.

Moreover, regarding passenger aircraft, all countries have very strict requirements. The airworthiness certificate alone is a difficult problem. It is not easy to obtain it by relying on the strength of Heiyun Group.

Heiyun 919 passenger aircraft, because the shell is produced by Lao Maozi, the aerodynamic layout has passed the audit in Europe and the United States. In addition, the black cloud is indeed unique in the field of engines. Even if Americans are picky, they dare not deliberately embarrass them.

They also have to consider whether their own planes will pass through Soviet airspace. If the Soviet Union is deliberately embarrassed because of trivial matters, then with the character of Lao Maozi, he will never be used to them. Thinking that there is no need to pick bones in eggs, that is also making trouble for yourself.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Very good, in terms of aviation, especially in passenger aircraft, our foundation is still too weak. It is very satisfying to have the current results. Don't worry too much, as long as Heiyun itself The product is good enough and the price is affordable. It will definitely get the order, and I have absolute confidence in that.

"The bonuses for engineers are definitely not less."

"Everyone, although Hong Kong can produce large objects such as passenger planes and aircraft, its production capacity is limited, so it will only be used as a research and development site in the future; and an emergency production factory. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com"

"If you want to produce aircraft on a large scale and in batches. Especially for passenger aircraft, you must build a new factory. Chief Engineer Wang is an expert in this area. Let's see where it is more suitable. The group has a lot of land in Huaxia Shanghu, and you can go back and turn around. "

"UFO and hh-01 ghost fighter factory, I plan to set up the factory in Fucaira. I hope you can overcome difficulties and complete the task together. As for the ground effect aircraft factory, the current local production capacity in Hong Kong; plus the desert produced by Saudi Arabia The swamp version is definitely enough; don't think about anything else."

It doesn't matter where the passenger plane is. Western countries won't say much about where the factory is built. But if UFOs and stealth fighter factories are put on the Chinese mainland, whether people can agree is one thing; Western countries, especially the United Kingdom, must not allow this kind of thing. At that time, the Black Cloud Group will be in a dilemma. It is better to do it in one step and put the strategic-level factories on their own sites in advance.

As a Heiyun employee, of course, he knows what Fucaira has to do with the boss. And even if it is useless to object, it is better to tell the boss to do things well. Today, I got a lot of benefits. Not every boss is willing to give so many stocks. Moreover, the stock of Hutchison Whampoa is a rare thing that money can't buy at the moment.

After hearing the opinions of several people, Bao Zixuan was very satisfied; after explaining the details of the exhibition, he was ready to go back to his room.
