Chapter 1359: Antonov's Trip (I)
The case of the two algae is. It is not only the Ukrainian government that is worried about the people and units that they have taken over from the former Soviet government with their mouths open to eat, but even these units themselves are actually worried.
The reason for the worries is that although the Ukrainian government has created more convenient conditions for them to enter, Ukraine has no choice but to speak lightly in the international community, and the competitiveness of its own products is not very dominant, so it is only dragged half-dead. Of course. You can also say that these enterprises have not yet successfully transformed from the planned economy of the former Soviet Union, and they still have the idea of state regulation and control in the economic era in their heads, and they still pursue the idea of the planned economy era under the conditions of market economy, so it is no wonder that these guys are not having enough to eat now.
In order to bring these enterprises back to life, and also for the better development of their own country, whether it is the Ukrainian government or those heads and brains in these enterprises who have witnessed their previous glory, they are trying their best to reverse the current unfavorable situation, not to mention, after the initial pain, after paying enough tuition fees, the Ukrainian economy and these military research and development departments have begun to vaguely see the dawn in the past two years.
For the Antonov Design Bureau, VCD Aircraft Machinery Manufacturing Group and Jinbu Machinery, what is now in front of these guys is one, the best opportunity, if they can get the financial support of the Alice Group, these three. The company's leaders were convinced that they would be able to restore their design bureau to its former Soviet glory.
And now is the time for me to work hard to restore my former glory.
Well, it is said that even the Cage engine company now has the heart to come and intervene: no way. Everyone is poor, seeing such a good opportunity, who wouldn't pounce like a wolf? There is only so much meat, and you won't be able to grab it when it's too late. People who are deeply affected by the planned economy know that "hands are fast." The hand is slow".
So this visit and visit of the Alice Group to the Antonov Design Bureau, I don't know how many people from the government departments and the Antonov Design Bureau were happy? In particular, the Antonov Design Bureau was even more excited, and they knew very well that this visit and visit was very different from the previous ones with showy interest, and if the people who visited this time were satisfied, they would be very likely to invest in themselves.
It takes about a minute drive west from the center of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, along the bustling Victory Avenue. Accompanied by government officials headed by Deputy Prime Minister Yulia and Tymoshenko, Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi, and Alice arrived at the most famous aircraft design and manufacturing company in Ukraine: the famous Antonov Aircraft Manufacturing Company.
As for the Antonov Design Bureau, the first deputy chief designer of the design bureau was Kivat, who arranged for the Alice Group to be the guide.
Babraev, the chief designer of the Antonov Design Bureau, wanted to personally receive Alice, the guest of honor and their possible savior, to show his attention to the people of the Alice Group, in fact, it is a bit ugly, this old man just wants to use his old face to take out some more money from the wallet of the Alice Group, but the old man is now lying in bed and can't get up: the old man is sick. And it seems that he is still sick. But in the opinion of the old man himself. It's really a bad time for me to get sick, but there's no way to do it, isn't it? In this situation, I have to regret entrusting the company's first deputy chief designer Kiva to be the guide of Alice and his party.
It's just that the old man Bablaev was still not at ease, and called Alice again and again with a shy old face, explaining to her that he was indeed unable to entertain Alice in person because of physical reasons, but both himself and the Antonov Design Bureau sincerely welcomed Alice's arrival. Hopefully Alice doesn't mind Yunyun.
Of course, from a business point of view, Zhang Lan admires this old man's feelings for the unit he has worked for all his life.
Alas, if only this old man were an employee of his own company! Some shameless bastard was very greedy and didn't think enough.
"Miss Alice, Miss Jill. Ms. Yulia, um, the two of you" After greeting Alice, Jill, and Yufia Tymoshenko, who was Alice's guide on the Ukrainian government's side, Kiva glanced at Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi, who were standing on Alice's left and right, and didn't know these two if she wanted to break her head. It looks like someone who is just a half-grown child who is from the Alice Group, but since he thinks that since he can stand with Alice, his status must not be low and he leaves, but he really doesn't know him, so he has to say hello vaguely, "Hello everyone, on behalf of the Antonov Design Bureau, I would like to express my welcome to your arrival." ”
"Hello, Mr. Kiva" topped. Ellie, who was in the dumb sunglasses, nodded to Kiva, her delicate face. The corners of Wei Chen's mouth brought a hint of a smile, "I'm sorry for you." ”
"Don't bother" Although I didn't feel flattered in my heart, I saw that Alice was so easy to talk to, so polite to herself, and had seen a lot of Kiva who was not pretentious to herself, and she was naturally quite comfortable in her heart, and even her reddened face revealed a lot of smiles, "Miss Alice can visit our Antonov Design Bureau, which is a very honorable thing for our Antonov Design Bureau?" ”
It would be better if you were able to throw money in. Kiva muttered to himself: Not much. Even if it was just a hundred million dollars or two to come in, the Antonov Design Bureau would not be as half-dead as it is now;
Looking at Kiva's thoughtful appearance, Zhang Lan secretly laughed in his heart: This guy is worthy of having spent most of his life in the Antonov Design Bureau, and now he is probably thinking about how to make the Antonov Design Bureau ask for the current half-dead situation, right?
"I'm embarrassed" realized that being in a daze here was not the kind of hospitality he should have, especially when he was still in front of his possible benefactor, Kiva smiled apologetically, "I was a little distracted when I saw the beautiful Miss Alice just now." ”
The kind explanation caused a chuckle, and the little unhappiness in people's hearts dissipated with the laughter, and it was really incomprehensible to see a super beauty like Alice if she was not shocked. ,
After the laughter finally died down, Kiva pointed to a converted convertible version of the bus behind him and bowed slightly. Motioning to everyone, "Please come with me, first of all, let's visit the history of the Antonov Design Bureau." ”
The so-called history of the Antonov Design Bureau refers to all the planes parked on the tarmac designed by the Antonov Design Bureau, which cover almost all the aircraft designed by the Antonov Design Bureau from its establishment to the present. Multi-purpose military transport aircraft, Ankou old passenger aircraft, Ankou medium-sized tactical military transport aircraft, that is, the prototype of the domestically produced Y-8 medium-sized tactical military transport aircraft, Anhu transport aircraft, Anyichou transport aircraft, Anyi transport aircraft, Anyi transport aircraft, Anyi transport aircraft, and a large behemoth beyond everyone's imagination, the pride of the Antonov Design Bureau: the famous Anyishi giant strategic transport aircraft!
Standing on the tarmac of the Antonov Aircraft Manufacturing Company, the contrast between the deserted factory area and the old factory building on one side and the rows of eagles looking at the blue sky on the other side is so strong.
The Antonov Design Bureau has obviously received a notice from the Ukrainian government when the big financier of the Alice Group will come to visit and visit him, and knows that if he can leave a good impression on the big funder and attract the big funder to invest in technological reform and promotion, the products of the Antonov Design Bureau may be able to take advantage of this opportunity to improve their competitiveness, and in this way, they can also get rid of the half-dead situation since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Therefore, although the huge site of the current Antonov Design Bureau looks a little dilapidated and desolate, it looks like a whole thing, and it is obvious that before coming, the Antonov Design Bureau has put a lot of effort into it.
Looking at the Antonov Design Bureau, which is now so down-and-out that he almost begs in clean clothes, and then thinking of the generation of strongmen in history who can design the Anwa strategic transport aircraft and the Anli super-heavy strategic transport aircraft that even the Americans can only reach in the dust, Zhang Lan also has to admire the strong design ability and the impermanence of the Antonov Design Bureau.
But it is precisely because of this that Mrs. Antonov's unremitting exploration and pursuit in scientific research, and her spirit of continuous innovation and enterprising in technology have made Zhang Lan extremely impressed, of course, this also shows the downfall of the Antonov Design Bureau and even the entire Ukrainian aviation industry at this moment?
If the Antonov Design Bureau is given sufficient conditions and technical support, then what kind of youth and vitality will this old aviation design bureau have? I'm afraid that even in the world, it is enough to compete with Boeing, Airbus and other old super-large strategic transport aircraft and civil aircraft manufacturers, right? Of course, this. The scene is definitely not what the Americans and Europeans do not want to see and leave.
"That plane is the famous Ammon transport plane, right?" Zhang Lan pointed to the plane in the distance, which gave people a powerful visual shock even if it was so far away from him, and asked Kiva, the first deputy chief designer of the Antonov Design Bureau, who was in charge of receiving him this time.
