Chapter 532: The Wind Tunnel (Fourth Shift)
As a special representative of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Li Jianguo's statement can be regarded as the official statement of the central government, and this is also the right specially granted to him by his family before coming from Beijing: as long as Alice Group has this strength, we can give them the greatest preferential treatment within the scope of the policy!
Even, when the family gave Li Jianguo full authority to operate this matter, he even explained the bottom line that the central government could accept. Of course, the bottom line is not Li Jianguo's statement just now.
"We, Shenfei Group, in fact, this time are to play a role in the future cooperation between your group company and the Ordnance Industry Group. China's Ordnance Group has its own unique advantages in the manufacturing materials, avionics systems, aviation radars, and aero engines of aviation aircraft. Xu Fangyong pushed his eyes and added on the side, "Of course, if there is anything that needs the help of our Shenfei Group, our Shenfei Group will also be unavoidable." ”
Xu Fangyong's words can be regarded as the military's compensation for the unpleasantness that happened some time ago to the Alice Group, to be honest, even if Zhang Lan does not plan to be too deeply involved with the military, there is still a necessary connection. \\/\ For the military's goodwill statement, there is naturally no reason to refuse.
"If you want to help, you really need to trouble the two of you," Alice said with a smile, which was already a tacit consent to Alice Group's request to set up its own aircraft manufacturing company in China, "If the two of you don't feel troublesome, we really want to trouble the two of you." ”
"Oh?" Hearing Alice say this, Li Jianguo and Xu Fangyong were surprised: although they said that before, they didn't expect it. Alice Group really needs their own help. He hurriedly made a "please" gesture, "Miss Alice, please." ”
"Let's not talk about the land situation, let's talk about the biggest problem we face: although we have the technology, we don't have a production line." Alice explained the situation faced by the Alice Group, "If we introduce the most advanced production lines from European and American countries. I'm sure both know that this is not possible unless we have a production company in the United States; If the introduction of production lines that have been eliminated by the West, it will not make much sense for us at Alice Group. So the question now is, in addition to land, water, electricity, transportation and other supporting facilities, can China provide us with the corresponding aircraft production line? ”
"This. There is no problem," Xu Fangyong, the manager of Shenfei Group, nodded. Apparently. Before this, Xu Fangyong had already received instructions from above, and at the same time, this was also what he wanted to see, "But there is one thing that needs to be explained to Miss Alice, there is no problem with selling you the aircraft production line, but the production line sold to you needs to be supplied at the market price." "Is it the market price?" It's not unacceptable," Alice said to herself, as if to herself, "but as far as I know. The market price of the production line you sell to different countries varies greatly. Don't know what market price you're going to sell to us? As he spoke, a slight sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Why don't you ask Mr. Xu to introduce to us first, what kind of technical level is the production line you plan to supply us in the world? As far as I know, it seems that the overall technical level of your aviation production line in China is not very good. ”
Hearing Alice say this, Li Jianguo and Xu Fangyong suddenly looked embarrassed: Alice said of course the absolute truth, China's ownership of various aircraft in the world can definitely rank among the top three, but this huge aircraft ownership is completely incommensurate with the fact that in the field of aircraft manufacturing, whether it is the advanced degree of aircraft or the advanced degree of production line, it is far inferior to the world's first-class aviation manufacturing countries such as the United States, Russia, Germany, France, and Italy. Even Zhang Lan has to admit that China is far inferior to Japan in terms of manufacturing accuracy.
This is a very unacceptable fact, and it is very sad that China has the world's third largest number of military combat aircraft and the largest number of equipment in the whole of Asia, but the technical content of these military combat aircraft is only the second rate in the world, and they are all based on second-generation jet fighters such as the J-7 and J-8. Japan is only equipped with a small number of combat aircraft, but with the support of their American masters, all of them are equipped with third-generation multifunctional fighters such as the F-16 and F-15, which are of the same standard, and they have the advantage of being a whole generation ahead of China.
Although I don't want to admit it, the facts are the facts, and I can't change them. Although if a war really breaks out one day, China will definitely not make the Japanese feel better by virtue of its superiority in missiles, it is always a very heartwarming thing not to have an advantage in the struggle for air supremacy. \\\\
Hearing Xiao Chenxi say this, Xu Fangyong was inevitably a little embarrassed, and his face adjusted after a while, "Miss Alice is telling the truth, but I can't think of anyone other than us who can provide you with the production line?" ”
"Are you so sure we won't be able to buy anything without you?" Alice smiled faintly, looking like she was in control of everything, "You have a saying in China, called money can make ghosts grind, this sentence is not bad at all, in the face of money, but few people can refuse the temptation of money." ”
At the same time that Alice said this, Alice's personal assistant Jill, who had been standing next to her, had already taken out three documents from her briefcase and put them in front of Xu Fangyong, "This is the technical information that Russia has provided us with relevant aircraft production lines; This is the case of Boeing, Pratt. Technical information on the production line provided to us jointly by Whitney and Sikorsky Helicopters; This is the technical information of the production line provided to us by the European Defence Group of Companies. You can take a look at it. ”
After a pause, Alice said, "Limited to the technical blockade of China, although the technical level of these production lines provided to us by the United States and Europe is not the most advanced, I believe that it is still more advanced than what we provide in China." \\ I dare not say that in terms of the processing accuracy and automation degree of the production line, I believe that these production lines are higher than the domestic ones. As for Russia, they have not joined the alliance of Europe and the United States to impose a technological blockade on China, and now the poor and crazy Russians have nothing that they dare not sell, as long as we offer the right price, I believe that the production line they provide us will definitely be much more advanced than the domestic one. ”,
Well, of course, Lao Maozi will also take this opportunity to ask for a big price, but with these two pieces of information from the United States and Europe, Lao Maozi lost the opportunity to blackmail, and Zhang Lan was not worried that Lao Maozi's price was too outrageous.
It is a fact that everyone knows that Europe and the United States jointly imposed a technical blockade on China, but Xu Fangyong really did not expect that Alice Group would have the ability to introduce relatively backward aircraft production lines from European and American countries into China, even if it is backward compared to themselves, it is more advanced than China.
Xu Fangyong had to start to weigh what advantages his side still had: what else could his side provide to Alice Group, special materials? Alice Group has a related R&D and production department; Aluminum for the aviation industry? Now Alice Group is one of the suppliers of aluminum products for China's aviation industry; Then the only thing left is probably avionics such as communications and navigation, and various more specialized aviation equipment such as airborne weather radar.
It's a pity that even if he has this advantage, after seeing the information in front of him, Xu Fangyong is also very depressed: these things that he can provide to Alice Group, European Defense Group Corporation, Boeing and Pratt in the United States. The Whitney and Sikorsky Helicopter Corporations, the Miri Design Bureau, the Kamov Design Bureau and the Tupolev Design Bureau in Russia, and now the Antonov Aviation Science and Technology Complex in Ukraine, are all able to provide it.
Alice Group's aircraft manufacturing projects are originally civilian projects, and compared with highly sensitive military electronic equipment, civil avionics are much less sensitive - of course, the accuracy and technical sophistication are also much lower - but again, these equipment are still much more advanced than what can be provided in China.
Seeing these three pieces of information, Xu Fangyong can finally be sure that Alice Group has no plan to purchase production lines from himself, and even if they take out these three pieces of information, they are not to reduce the price to themselves, but to tell themselves that Alice Group has no plans to purchase production lines from China at all, and they should not waste their minds in this regard. So, now, Xu Fangyong is a little confused, since Alice Group does not need its own production line, what does the requirement they put forward before this to provide their own production line mean?
yes, what does that mean exactly? Li Jianguo also began to be confused.
"We need you to provide us with two wind tunnels," Alice finally revealed, "a high-speed wind tunnel and a low-speed wind tunnel so that we can test the aerodynamic characteristics of our products in the future." As for the issue of the production line, we need to make a multi-party comparison to determine the final seller, how, is there a problem? ”
Alice's words once again gave Li Jianguo and Xu Fangyong a little comfort: shopping around is something that any businessman knows, let alone something as important as an aircraft production line. Since Alice didn't completely deny her production line, that means she still has a chance, doesn't she?
To be honest, the cost of the wind tunnel is not cheap, but the wind tunnel is too sensitive, this is really a dual-use thing, if you want to introduce it from abroad, it is possible to use the low-speed wind tunnel for testing objects with a speed of less than 500 kilometers per hour, as for the supersonic high-speed wind tunnel, forget it.
