Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 198 Lu Yao Knows Horsepower

1 month 29 day.

The protagonist of the news, Lu Yao, the general manager of Huaxia Aviation Service Company, brought several vice presidents and assistants to Beishan.

In the VIP reception center on the first floor of the headquarters building of Red Star Heavy Industry Group, senior leaders represented by Zhong Cheng held talks with them.

At the same time, the person in charge of Beishan City's traffic management also participated in the meeting.

Lu Yao is a middle-aged northern man in his early forties. He is tall, handsome, shrewd and capable. He is an official at the deputy ministerial level.

The state also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility to transfer him to the newly established Huaxia Aviation Service Company, which is a very difficult task.

It involves the merger and abolition of a large number of organizations, enterprises and institutions, and personnel, as well as the disposal of a large number of properties, and there is a huge conflict of interest.

Not ordinary people can do it!
Of course, these things have nothing to do with the Red Star Heavy Industry Group. The Red Star Heavy Industry Group only needs to provide aircraft and technical support.

The purpose of Lu Yao and his party coming to Beishan was to discuss technical issues and the schedule of aircraft delivery with Red Star Heavy Industry Group.

Lu Yao was also surprised by Zhong Cheng's youth. He had heard about some of Zhong Cheng's deeds, but this was the first time he had seen him in person.

Zhong Cheng didn't have any reservations either. After some simple pleasantries between the two parties, he got straight to the point and directly introduced the planning plan of the civil aviation aircraft project.

Although he felt a little guilty that Lu Yao took the blame for him, but one matter is another matter, what should be fought is still to be fought!

Lu Yao came prepared. He should have done in-depth research on the design of the air bus system before, which saved Zhong Cheng a lot of trouble.

The biggest dispute between the two parties is the implementation plan of Red Star Company's decision to carry out freight first and passenger transport later.

Zhong Cheng convinced Lu Yao and his team with irrefutable reasons that Red Star Company could not guarantee its own transportation, so how could it guarantee the completion of the follow-up project.

After this prerequisite is confirmed, the rest will be easy to discuss.

Lu Yao had no choice but to give up his plan to carry out pilot projects in four super-large cities first, and accepted Zhong Cheng's opinion.

Firstly, construct or renovate supporting facilities related to the operation of cargo aircraft in Beishan City.

However, it is not enough for Beishan City to do a good job in air transportation, and the relevant supporting facilities of the main cargo destinations of Red Star Company must also be carried out at the same time.

Planning of air traffic control centers and air routes is also carried out.

If these tasks are not implemented by the state, one can imagine the difficulty.

Both parties are very tight on time. Except for the necessary time for eating and sleeping, they negotiate for more than 18 hours a day.

It took three days of talking like this before all the details were finalized.

Red Star Company started the sky patching project in mid-February, and delivered the first batch of cargo planes and special containers by May next year. In June, it realized freight traffic between Beishan and 2 first-tier cities in China, and expanded to 5 first-tier cities by the end of the year.

Red Star will deliver the first batch of passenger aircraft by August next year,…  

Realize the switching of all passenger and freight transport modes in China within ten years.

This is a huge system project. Compared with the work that Lu Yao and the others are responsible for, Zhong Cheng feels that it is a bit too simple for them to only manufacture airplanes.

Although the sky patching project could be completed faster, but Lu Yao's work progress could not keep up, so Zhong Cheng had to make concessions.

But this is also good, just to focus on the robot manufacturing project that started in the middle of the year.

After a few days of contact, Zhong Cheng and Lu Yao cherish each other and admire each other's achievements and expertise in their respective fields.

Zhong Cheng was very worried about the pressure Lu Yao was facing, but Lu Yao said that Lu Yao knew the horsepower and knew people's hearts over time, so he was full of confidence to win.

After sending off Paiyao and his party, it was already February 2, and the Chinese New Year would be one day away.

It happened to be the traditional annual commendation meeting of Red Star Company.

It was not held last year due to the company's reorganization, and this year's annual commendation conference, as the first time for the newly established Red Star Heavy Industry Group, was held in a particularly grand manner.

The Red Star headquarters building and the playground next to the building will be demolished in July and August next year.

The last annual commendation meeting can be held here next year.

The old eight-story headquarters building can no longer hold the staff of the reorganized Red Star headquarters.

The company decided to build a new 33-story headquarters building on the open space between the research institute and the nuclear fusion generator company.

It is far away from the new building of the research and development institute that has been approved by the state.

That was the place where the groundbreaking ceremony of the Golden Crow Project was held the year before last, and a bigger square - Red Star Square will be built there then.

Because the nuclear power plant under the R&D Institute is being dismantled, it will take a long time.

After the treatment was completed at the end of the year, the two buildings were under construction together.

At this year's annual commendation conference, Mr. Deng and Mr. Wan still spoke. Both Zhong Cheng and Li Changfeng refused the opportunity to speak on stage.

Although the safety of military scientific research personnel has been guaranteed the most powerfully, Zhong Cheng still doesn't like to show his face like this.

He prefers to be unknown behind the scenes. When it comes to the choice of fame and freedom, he chooses the latter without hesitation.

After the commendation meeting, Zhong Cheng invited the team members to a reunion dinner as usual.

Last year because he was busy preparing for the wedding, he saved a meal, and he must make up for it this year.

Zhou Hu reserved a seat at the newly opened Red Star Hotel in the center of Beishan City, and reserved a hall.

After the establishment of Red Star Heavy Industry Group, in order to receive people from all over the country or even overseas to negotiate business with the company, a new 18-storey building integrating catering and accommodation was newly built.

The Red Star Hotel, run by the Red Star Logistics Service Company, is now the most upscale restaurant in Beishan.

In a hall with high-end decoration on the second floor of the hotel, all the current members of Zhong Cheng's team were present, including the members of Liu Yuzhu's team who had just returned from Qaidam.

Deng Lin didn't come back, Liu Yuzhu said that this guy has been possessed, he spends all day in the laboratory, and he doesn't plan to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Zhong Cheng felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw the team has expanded to more than 200 people.

There were only a dozen or so people at the dinner party the year before last.

He briefly summarized the team's achievements last year, and then talked about the team's tasks this year.

Before the end of these major projects, there should be no new projects this year.

But next year, he will definitely arrange a bigger project.

When Liu Yuzhu asked what project it would be, Zhong Cheng laughed and said that he hadn't figured it out yet, but he hoped everyone would give their opinions.

In fact, Zhong Cheng has some ideas, but it is not suitable to say them on this occasion before he is sure.

Then, he announced a great event!

With everyone's help, Yang Xi and Luo Na, Lin Wei and his girlfriend Chen Lin, and Gui Bin and his girlfriend Meng Yu will all get married during the Spring Festival this year.

When everyone was in high spirits and blessed the three couples one after another.

Qin Wenyu stood up suddenly and announced loudly: "I want to get married in the Spring Festival too!"
