Even if the aircraft has not been successfully developed until now, Li Mu will not give up.

Not even now, the difficulties are only temporary, and sooner or later Boston Airlines will turn into a hen that lays golden eggs.

Entering the factory, the greenery and the fragrance of flowers are two worlds away from the hustle and bustle outside the factory, and working here is simply enjoyable.

Good pay must be matched with good performance, so that work can be enjoyed, otherwise, the better the working environment, the greater the pressure on the person, and the deeper the guilt.

Li Mu and Donald did not go to the conference room, but walked around the factory casually.

"I've always been confident in the plane, so the difficulties are only temporary, and the more times like this, the more we should persevere, so that in the future we will have enough sense of achievement." Li Mu's self-confidence is very influential, especially for the current Donald.

"In fact, we are already close to success, and we are now working on an aircraft that can fly at speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour, stay in the air for more than three hours, and at the same time have a significant increase in load capacity, at least 300 kilograms." Donald is just as confident about the aircraft, especially with the new products that Boston Airlines is working on.

If Boston Airlines' new product can really be as Donald said, then such an aircraft will basically have actual combat capability, and it will definitely be an instant hit.

The reason why Boston Airlines' business is tepid now has a lot to do with the low performance of the aircraft, such as the load capacity of the aircraft, which is a very important indicator, although 300 kg does not sound like much, but in addition to the weight of an adult, it is more than enough to equip four 50 kg bombs, which is enough for the current military.

"Sounds good..."Li Mu was also in a good mood.

"We are in contact with Washington and the French government, and as long as the new aircraft can meet the above figures, then the French government and Washington will place orders, and the French government has promised that the order will not be less than 50 aircraft." Although none of this has yet materialized, Donald is still excited to say it, and it is precisely because of this prospect that Donald has persevered until now.

"The French government wants to buy... That's good, does the German government know about this news? "Li Mu has a good abacus, and when he does business, he has to earn money from the top family to the next family, so that he can make money.

Don't look at the defeat of the French in the Franco-Prussian War, the French are not reconciled to defeat.

At the beginning, in order to pay war reparations, the French government tried all kinds of methods, and once it was so poor that it was like pants, but now when it comes to expanding armaments, the French are still full of confidence, and it seems that the French always remember the shame of the Franco-Prussian War.

Since the French are thinking about finding a place, it is impossible for the German government not to know, even if the German government does not know, Li Mu must find a way to let the German government know, so that Li Mu can have meat to eat.

Remember the Interoceanic Canal Company some time ago? Li Mu is very resentful, the French almost embarrassed Li Mu in this matter, Li Mu didn't forget...

"Of course, the German government also knows about it, so Krupp has been in contact with us a lot lately and wants to cooperate with us in technology." Donald pouted, clearly not wanting to work with the Germans.

"Cooperation? Think about the United States, about the aircraft, does Krupp have any technical reserves? Li Mu also didn't want to cooperate with Krupp about the plane, which was a good thing for the Germans, it could save the Germans a lot of money, but it was not a good thing for Li Mu.

At the beginning, the reason why the horse weapons company cooperated with Krupp was because Krupp had its own unique technology in artillery, and the horse weapons company had to cooperate with Krupp in order to bypass these technical barriers.

In the matter of cooperation, the Germans have clearly tasted the sweetness, and now they want to repeat the old tricks.

It is a pity that in terms of aircraft, if Krupp does not have enough chips to impress Li Mu, then cooperation will not be possible at all.

"What Krupp means is that some technical improvements can be made in terms of the aerodynamic structure of the aircraft, but these improvements are not urgently needed for us." When it comes to aircraft technology, Donald has the confidence to despise all the companies in the world.

From the perspective of the 21st century, the current aircraft is indeed very simple, and the technical content is not too high, but for this era, Boston Airlines is at the forefront of the times, and all the research they have conducted is unprecedented, which is where Donald's confidence lies.

Li Mu doesn't know much about airplanes, but many of the most basic concepts for people in the 21st century are enough to change the course of history in this era.

For example, the sealed cockpit, and the drainage hood on the aircraft engine, which is only the most basic concept for people in the 21st century, but in the past history, the cockpit of the aircraft has gone through 20 years from open to sealed, not to mention the aerodynamic structure of the aircraft, which is almost a concept that only existed during World War II.

"Hehe, we probably don't need Krupp to help us optimize the aerodynamic structure of the aircraft..."In this regard, Li Mu also has the confidence, he can't look down on Krupp, after all, the plane and the artillery are different, and the interlacing is like a mountain, and only a BUG like Li Mu can eat it all.

"I'm here to sign a contract with you on behalf of the Panamanian company, and the old company of our class has decided to order ten planes from your Boston Airlines for the exploration of the Panama Canal." Li Mu threw out a piece of good news lightly.

"Cross... That's great! Donald was stunned by the good news, his eyes widened and the ends of his beard trembled.

This is the advantage of wearing multiple hats, Li Mu can blatantly "show favoritism for personal gain", and he doesn't have to worry about any gossip.

The Isthmus of Panama is a complex topography, and the previous design of the canal was overturned because of a fundamental mistake in the previous exploration work, and the Panama Canal Company now has to re-explore the work.

Considering the complexity of the terrain of the Isthmus of Panama, if only manpower is relied on for exploration, then maybe the whole process will last a year or two, which is unacceptable to Li Mu and the entire Panama Canal Company.

If the aircraft is used for exploration, then the efficiency can be greatly improved, and at present, there is only one company in the world that sells airplanes, so Li Mu's "private" favoritism is justified, and no one can say 123.

"Trust me, this is just the beginning, we will have more and bigger orders in the future." Li Mu's most important purpose this time is to cheer for Boston Airlines, and this order came at the right time.

Before the lunch at noon, Li Mu officially signed a flight purchase contract with Boston Airlines on behalf of the Panama Canal Company, which is also the first formal sales contract of Boston Airlines, which is of great significance to Boston Airlines.

Although Boston Airlines has also sold more than a dozen planes before, all of them are sold to governments around the world, and it is more about experience services, and the price is of course a friendly price, so there is not much profit.

This time is different, the Panama Canal Company is notoriously wealthy, and it is not bad for money at all, so it is quite generous, and the ten planes together with the follow-up service were tossed out by Li Mu at a price of a full 5 million US dollars.

Compared to the performance of the aircraft at this time, this price is indeed a bit expensive, but whether it is expensive or not is relative, compared to the time saved for the Panama Canal Company, let alone 5 million US dollars, even if it is 10 million US dollars, the management committee of the Canal Company can accept it.

Lunch was served in the Boston Airlines cafeteria, which, like other subsidiaries of the Kufner Group, was of a high standard.

According to the rules, Boston Airlines workers only need to pay five dollars a month for meals, and they can enjoy luxurious working meals in the Boston Airlines canteen.

The contents of the working meal include steak, chicken thighs, fish pieces, various snacks, and after-dinner fruits, and you can basically have everything except drinks compared to regular restaurants.

At this level, five dollars a month is certainly not enough, and airlines subsidize workers in this regard, which is about ten dollars per person per month.

After lunch, Li Mu turned to the horse laboratory next door.

Every time Li Mu came to Boston before, the Horse Laboratory was a must-visit, so Li Mu was very familiar with every grass and tree in the Horse Laboratory.

"If possible, I would like you to postpone your return to New York until tomorrow, Mr. Reem, so that you can participate in our electric car trials... My electric car, I have to tell you that the genius idea came from our youngest researcher, Mr. Nikola Tesla. The new director of the laboratory, Antonio Meucci, is still not fluent in English, but this does not prevent Antonio Meucci from communicating with Li Mu.

After the major adjustment of his position, Antonio Meucci no longer served as the general manager of ZAMA Telecom Company, and came to ZAMA Laboratory, specializing in scientific research, and finally returned to the field he was most familiar with.

It's a good thing for Antonio Meugchi and the ZAMA Group, Antonio Meucci finally doesn't have to worry about what he is not good at, and ZAMA Telecom can finally get back on the right track.

Speaking of Nikola Tesla, since he parted ways with Nikola Tesla in New York, Li Mu has never paid attention to Nikola Tesla's news, it is gold that shines wherever it is, and sure enough, Nikola Tesla finally returned to Li Mu's sight with his own ability.

It's just this way...

Uh-huh, debatable, debatable ...

"Electric car..."Li Mu suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Sure enough, the news brought by Antonio Meucci to Li Mu made Li Mu cry and laugh: "I have to say that in terms of power application, Mr. Nikola Tesla is definitely a genius, as the youngest researcher in our Junma laboratory, we originally thought that if he could play his value in 20 years, he would already be able to describe it as a genius, but we still underestimated the genius of this group, it only took three months, he completed the research on electric vehicles, it can be said immodestly, if it is replaced by others, It will probably take 30 years to get to his level, and it's still for a team..."

Antonio Mewuchi gushed endlessly, not noticing Li Mu's darkening face at all.

This one...

Li Mu didn't listen to what Antonio Mewuqi was saying now, and Suzuki was reflecting on himself whether he should correct this almost "sheep-herding" talent training method.

That's right, Li Mu said at the beginning that he would never interfere with Nikola Tesla's research direction, but Li Mu never expected that the first research direction Nikola Tesla chose for himself was actually electric vehicles.

Looking at Antonio Meucci who was dancing with his eyebrows, Li Mu was simply angry, no wonder he was in Junma Telecom Company, he obviously mastered the technology that was almost monopolized, but he couldn't see the actual profits on the financial statements, Antonio Meucci was indeed a little problematic.

The core industry of the Junma Group is the Junma Weapons Company, but for the current Junma Group, the Junma Automobile Company is the most profitable enterprise, and Li Mu himself owns half of the shares of Mobil Oil, so Nikola Tesla researches electric vehicles, which is no longer 1000 kills and 800 self-losses, all of these 1800 are Li Mu's own.

"Antonio, listen to me, from now on, put an end to all research on electric vehicles." Li Mu had to stop, otherwise looking at Antonio Meucci's posture, he would be able to talk endlessly for three days and three nights.

"End, end? Why? Antonio Meuchi was puzzled.

"No, why, think about it, which company makes the cars on the market now? If we come up with an electric car now, who are we hurting? Li Mu patiently analyzed with Antonio Meuqi, hoping that Antonio Meucci would take the initiative to recognize his mistakes.

"It's true that the biggest car company is our Kufner Motor Company, but at the same time, Kufma Motor Company is also facing competition from Vanderbilt Motors, so if we can launch an electric car, then we can beat Vanderbilt Motors at a lower cost." Antonio Meuucci is eloquent, and it sounds like there is some truth to it.

"God, the matter of the horse automobile company, let the horse automobile company worry, just do your job well, listen to me, give up the research of electric vehicles, from now on, don't mention the electric car project." Li Mu simply stopped trying to reason, and directly intervened in a commanding manner.

That's the most effective way to do it.
