Chapter 1317: Expanding Ambition (Third Watch, Second Shift)
Jessica is naturally aware of the existence of the company's automotive electronics R&D laboratory in North America, she is not only aware of the existence of the laboratory, but also knows that the company's automotive electronics R&D center in North America is progressing smoothly in the field of automotive ECU and data bus, and now even the first generation of samples has been taken out, which is currently being tested repeatedly. But let a company that studies automotive electronics work on the aircraft's flight control system and avionics system? Why does this sound so unreliable?
Although they are all control systems, can the control system of the aircraft be the same as the control system of the car, we must make a comparison, that is, one is in the sky, one is underground, the control system of the car is a little problematic, and there is a chance that no one will die, but once there is something wrong with the flight control system of the aircraft, it is a tragedy of the plane destroying and the death of people, which is unreliable and unreliable...... In addition, the word "unreliable" was also learned by Jessica from her boss.
"You think I'm going to joke with you about this kind of thing?" Lin Hongfei asked rhetorically.
"It's not...... But I think ......," Jessica shook her head vigorously, not knowing for a moment how to express herself, "it's ridiculous." ”
"It's very simple, develop our skills in the process of reverse learning."
Lin Hongfei was very open to this matter, but Jessica immediately rejected her boss's suggestion, "Honeywell and Rockwell. Collins is a well-known defense contractor in the United States, and if I poach their people, I will face serious consequences. ”
This is not an exaggeration at all, whether it is Honeywell or Rockwell. Collins, or United Signal, are both large defense contractors in the United States, and it would be fine if these large defense contractors poached each other, to use an old saying in our country. That is, the meat is rotten and rotten in the pot, but if it is the North American branch of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to poach, it is absolutely not allowed, even if they will become the largest supplier of titanium and titanium alloy materials in the United States, if they really do this, not only can they not dig people, but the consequences are very serious.
"Who said I'm going to get a deal from United Signals, Honeywell, or Rockwell. Collins poached people? Lin Hongfei asked rhetorically.
"Huh?" Hearing Lin Hongfei say this, Jessica and Acton were stunned: If you don't poach people from these companies, where else can you poach people?
"Russia and the republics of the former Soviet Union," Lin Hongfei looked at the two idiots. "In this world, in addition to the United States, the only one who has the most contact with avionics systems and flight control systems for large aircraft is the former Soviet Union, right?" ”
Hear this from the boss. Jessica and Acton were stunned for a moment, and then patted their heads in annoyance: Yes! How did you forget that? The boss was right. If there is anyone else in this world who poses a threat to the American avionics industry. Then it must be the people of the former Soviet Union, countless European and American companies are making a fortune in the republics of the former Soviet Union, why can't their own companies do this?
It's just that Acton, who is used to taking doctrine, is a little incomprehensible to Lin Hongfei's actions, "Boss, it costs a lot of money to engage in avionics and flight control. Collins is a well-established product for these big companies to choose from. Why do we bother to do our own research and development? ”
Not only did Acton not understand, but even Jessica didn't quite understand, "Boss, with the development of society." The division of labor between enterprises is becoming more and more detailed, and everyone does what they are best at, which seems to be the inevitable result of the development of modern industry, and because everyone only does one, they can often do better in this aspect......"
Although Jessica didn't say the following words, the meaning was obvious: Why do we do this?
This is also a common problem of major business aircraft manufacturers in the United States, in essence, the major business and business aviation aircraft manufacturers in the world, including Boeing, Airbus and McDonnell Douglas, are a system integrator, but what Lin Hongfei wants to do is not simply a system integrator, his ambition is great, and he wants to have his own capabilities in all the core links of the aviation manufacturing industry, just like a national automobile manufacturer in China in later generations, with excellent vertical integration capabilities, in addition to the standard parts of tires and glass, Everything else is made by yourself.
At first glance, the reason seems to be so, but Lin Hongfei does not think so based on his many years of work experience, Lin Daboss was a recognized authority on internal combustion engines in the world in his last life, and was sought after by all the large automobile manufacturers in the world, and each engine he designed could be sold at a good price.
But Lin Hongfei is very dissatisfied, because according to his design ideas, the engine designed by himself can obviously play a better performance, but limited to the limitations of the on-board electronic system, the performance of the engine can only play eighty or ninety, if it is replaced with Lin Hongfei's own design carburetor that of course can play all the capabilities of the engine, but unfortunately, the damn environmental protection regulations have completely lost the carburetor use, which makes Lin Da Boss deeply regretful.
Lin Hongfei in the previous life had no choice, but in this life, since there is an opportunity to change this passive situation, Lin Hongfei will certainly not be polite, "The reason is very simple, one reason is that we can greatly reduce costs." Some countries are very demanding on the cost of purchasing aircraft, and they don't need FAA certification or anything like that, for these countries, we can use our own avionics, and those that have mandatory requirements, we can use Honeywell or Rockwell. Collins products; Another reason is that we can also use it to lower the purchase price when negotiating with these avionics system providers. ”
Of course, he will not say that he has a deeper idea: in addition to civil aircraft, he has even greater ambitions. Of course, Lin Hongfei also knows that he is the limit, and it is already the limit to be able to do a good job in the five aspects of fuselage structure, wings, engines, avionics system and flight control system, and don't even think about anything else.
Although he still didn't agree with Lin Hongfei's words, Lin Hongfei's reasons were very good, Jessica and Acton gave in, and they shrugged, "You are the boss, you have the final say, but in this matter of poaching, please forgive us for not helping you too much." ”
"It's okay, I'll do this thing myself," Lin Hongfei nodded, he didn't expect Acton and Jessica to do this in the first place, and he didn't dare to hand it over to the two of them, in Lin Hongfei's heart, this project must be pinched in his own hands to be able to reassure himself, "In addition, let me tell you, this project will also be placed in my country, you have a psychological preparation." ”
"Put it here?" Acton and Jessica looked at each other in surprise, just now the boss mentioned the company's automotive electronics R&D center, they thought that this project would be placed in the United States, why did it suddenly have to be placed here?
"In the U.S., it's easy to be overloaded by United Signal, Honeywell, Rockwell. The three giants of Collins suppressed and poached, and it was much easier to put it here," Lin Hongfei explained.
This truth is very old, and both of them nod.
When all this was said, Lin Hongfei asked Acton seemingly casually, "Mr. Acton, how are my compatriots doing in the company?" ”
"Excellent!" Speaking of the boss's compatriots and his own peers, Acton unconsciously shuddered, his shock to those people was no less than Jessica's shock when she saw the desperate Chinese workers in the CNC machining and heat treatment center, "Boss, I said, you really picked up the treasure, they are all very talented, I have never seen such excellent and hard-working aircraft designers, although they are already very good, but they still study hard at every opportunity, give me the feeling, It's like a sponge desperately drawing water, God, if you Chinese are so desperate, I'm sure that in 30 years at most, you will be able to catch up with the United States. ”
This is probably the most happy news that Lin Hongfei heard today, Lin Hongfei was extremely relieved, "Mr. Acton, you have to understand that this nation has been suffering from oppression for more than 300 years, and this oppression has reached its peak in the past 150 years, and now this nation has finally stood up. You can't appreciate the preciousness of freedom. ”
Jessica and Acton were a little confused for a moment, and they didn't know what to say.
Before knowing their boss, they had never paid attention to the third largest country in the world and the most populous country in the world on the other side of the ocean, only after knowing their boss, they began to consciously understand this mysterious country, but it was a pity that most of the information they could access was to scandalize and demonize the republic, the more they knew, the more they felt like they were in the fog, but one thing they knew very well was that this country had been in the past 150 years, It is indeed suffering from unimaginable disasters for ordinary people, and this is a people who suffer as much as the Jews...... It's also a shame that Jessica and Acton didn't say this, otherwise Lin Hongfei would have spit in their faces: "As far as the Jews' mallets are concerned, can they be compared with our five hooligans?" ”
Don't look at the current economy of the republic is not very good, but looking through all the countries on the planet, the countries with all the industrial categories, there are only the three big hooligans of China, the United States and Russia, and the remaining Britain and France belong to soy sauce, as for the rest, Lin Hongfei can only say: Hehe...... (To be continued......)
