Start with the aviation industry

Chapter 252 Arrival in Paris
Lin Feng, He Hua and others went to the capital.

I only stayed in the capital for one night, and I understood the precautions, itinerary, specific details, etc. for participating in this air show, and the above agreed that one of the four prototypes can participate in the air show.

Lin Feng originally wanted to send two "Tianlong" transport helicopters to participate in the exhibition. It seems a bit too optimistic, but it is better to have one exhibit than not at all. "Tianlong" transport helicopters can finally go to the world's largest air show to display Fan.

Originally, he wanted the LH1500 turboshaft engine to participate in the exhibition, but the above did not approve it. Lin Feng thought in his heart, it’s fine if he disagrees. Anyway, such an excellent turboshaft engine may be difficult to export.

Even if you want to export, there are only a few targets, and the only ones who can buy such turboshaft engines are the few famous helicopter manufacturers in the world.Transport helicopters are different, and it is estimated that many countries want to buy them.

Of course, there are also requirements above, the "Tianlong" transport helicopter must not be exported, but the foreign trade version can.

What does the foreign trade version look like? There are also some basic requirements above. It is simplified on the basis of "Tianlong".

Lin Feng said that there is no problem in this aspect, and he understands it very well.

Even the foreign trade version is of a world-class level. As long as Leihuo Technology Industry Group is willing to sell it, it is estimated that many countries will wave their money and want to buy it.

After returning, the specific matters of participating in the exhibition will be handed over to He Hua.

Leihuo Technology Industrial Group was approved to participate in the Paris Air Show, and the news gradually spread. For example, Wang Tianfang immediately called to congratulate.

"Boss Lin, congratulations."

Lin Feng said modestly, "Boss Wang, I would like to thank the superiors for giving us this opportunity."

After the two chatted for a few words, Wang Tianfang said enviously, "You guys are proud this time. Most domestic aviation companies have never participated in the Paris Air Show, including our Phoenix factory."

The level of our domestic aviation industry is lagging behind that of Western countries. Even if we want to participate in the exhibition, there are not many things we can show. It is normal for many aviation companies not to participate in the exhibition. For example, Phoenix Factory has never participated in the exhibition.

However, Wang Tianfang was quite happy, and revealed, "Although our factory's products cannot be exhibited, we will still send a team to visit this Paris Air Show. The entire domestic aviation industry will visit this air show. The number of people is not small, it is estimated that there are dozens of people."

There is no way for my own products to participate in the exhibition, but it is still possible to visit and open my eyes.

For people in the domestic aviation industry, this is also a rare opportunity. For example, Phoenix Factory will send a team of more than ten people to visit this time, basically technicians, led by Wang Tianfang.

Ordinary management personnel go to visit the air show, that is purely for soy sauce, technical personnel are different, they can find the gap with others from a professional point of view, and there will be some gains.

"Mr. Wang, congratulations, you must come to our exhibition area to take a look at the air show."

"Definitely, definitely." Wang Tianfang agreed.

Leihuo Technology and Industry Group exhibited a "Tianlong" transport helicopter this time, which was directly exhibited outdoors and parked on the airport like many other types of aircraft for visitors from the aviation industry.

This is a very good publicity opportunity, and Lin Feng handed over the specific preparations to He Hua.

Beautiful country, Porton Aviation Industry Group.

This is a well-known aviation company. A variety of helicopters in active service in the US military, such as general-purpose helicopters and armed helicopters, are designed and manufactured by this company.

The military helicopters they designed and developed are like a banner, and they are very famous.

in the office.

Senior Vice President Dewar Sean is reading a report, his face is not good-looking, he looks very dignified, his assistant Cooper-Richard stands aside respectfully, because he knows that the boss is in a very bad mood .

This is a detailed report on Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

"Richard, they really designed and developed a world-class transport helicopter, really better than our Black Hawk?"

"Boss, according to what we have so far, this is indeed the case. Their 'Dragon' transport helicopter is indeed better than our Black Hawk."

Dewar-Sean forcefully closed the investigative report with a "snap", and said loudly, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Our Black Hawk is the best helicopter in the world. You must have made a mistake. I want the detailed technical data of the 'Tianlong' transport helicopter."

"Boss, it's probably difficult. Leihuo Technology Industry Group has a high level of confidentiality. We only collected these few data after spending a lot of effort."

"I don't care, you must collect comprehensive and detailed data on this helicopter." Dewar Sean ordered.

Cooper-Richard nodded. Although it was very difficult, the boss said that no matter how much manpower and material resources are used, and some channels are used, the comprehensive data of the 'Tianlong' transport helicopter must be collected.

After watching Cooper Richard leave, Vice President Dewar Sean opened the document again and read it from beginning to end.

There was a little disbelief in his heart, but he thought worriedly, if all this is true, then Leihuo Technology Industrial Group would be too scary, no, no, such an enterprise cannot be allowed to develop.

The brain circuit of many people in the beautiful country is that we must be the first, and others cannot. Once there is a sign, we must kill it in the bud.

Gradually, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he began to think about how to deal with Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, and he will find a way soon.

As one of the aviation giants in the beautiful country, they are confident that they have a hundred ways to deal with the Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, among which being stuck is undoubtedly a very good way.

So, he picked up the phone and called another subordinate in, and said, "Peter, have you heard of Leihuo Technology Industry Group?"

"Boss, I know this company. They have developed very rapidly. They have developed a very good military transport helicopter in just two or three years."

"Peter, you should know that this is definitely not good news for us, we have to take some measures."

"Well, I think so too." Pete said, "If you need us to do something, you can just tell us."

Dewar-Sean said, "Go and investigate right away. The spare parts of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group need to be imported. I want a detailed list."

Pete's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately understood what his boss was going to do, and immediately said, "Okay, I'll investigate right away."

Isn't Leihuo Technology and Industry Group importing spare parts, then there is no restriction on export, and it will not be sold to them. Without these imported spare parts, it depends on how their helicopters are produced.

Dewar-Sean thinks this method is good. First, let's get a card on Leihuo Technology Industrial Group's neck. It is estimated that it will have a very good effect.

Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

Of course, Lin Feng didn't know that his company had been targeted by a world giant aviation company, and he was about to get stuck in his neck.

He Huazai was in charge of the specific matters of participating in the Paris Air Show, and Lin Feng could focus on the production of heavy-duty armed helicopters. Of course, the design of the foreign trade version of the 'Tianlong' was also started.

Walking around the manufacturing site, personally watching the manufacturing of some parts, and then instructing the manufacturing process of certain important parts, Lin Feng is now sitting in Zhao Mingzhi's office.

There are several people in the office, who are either high-level officials of the helicopter design institute or experts in helicopter design.

While drinking tea, I chatted with everyone about the design of the foreign trade version of the helicopter.

Lin Feng said, "Develop the design on the basis of the 'Tianlong' transport helicopter, and simplify certain functions, but the transport capacity cannot be reduced, and this part should not be weakened."

For a transport helicopter, the transport capacity is the key indicator. If even this part is weakened, the overall performance will also be compromised.

In addition to talking about the design of the foreign trade version, Lin Feng explained, "The design of our heavy-duty armed helicopter has been fully completed, and everyone has more energy. In addition to the foreign trade version, our 'Tianlong' transport helicopter should also consider medical treatment. Design and development of various related models such as transportation, air rescue, special operations, and maritime patrol.”

Lin Feng talked a lot, and everyone's notebooks were filled with several pages.

The current "Tianlong" transport aircraft is the basic type, and there will be many models in the future, which are suitable for various conditions and different uses.

Because there is the basic model of the "Tianlong" transport aircraft, everyone has basically understood the design. Based on this, the design should not be difficult technically, and Lin Feng has no plan to personally guide it.

Time passed day by day, and the day of the Paris Air Show was getting closer and closer.

Some employees of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group are also discussing this air show, and some managers are full of hope. It would be great if they can participate in this air show.

In the mid-to-early 90s, being able to go abroad was something to be proud of. Anyone who had experience going abroad seemed to have a stronger waist in the factory.

"Old Liu, you should have great hopes this time."

"Old Yuan, I think your hope is greater, since you are young and you are the middle management of the company."

"."

There are many such discussions in private, all of them seem very humble on the surface, but they are full of hope in their hearts, and they all feel that they can go to France.

in the office.

He Hua is showing Lin Feng a list. This is the list of people participating in the air show. There are 15 people in total. They are divided into two batches, the first batch is five people, and the second batch is ten people.

The first batch of five people will leave a few days in advance. After they arrive, they will have some contact work and some preparations for the exhibition.

Lin Feng, He Hua, etc. belong to the second batch of personnel. Lin Feng looked at the list seriously, and then said, "Mr. He, the list needs to be changed."

"Boss, what do you think should be changed?"

Lin Feng said, "If it is not necessary, no management personnel will be dispatched, mainly technical personnel, and mainly backbone technicians from Leihuo Helicopter Design Institute and Helicopter Manufacturing Company."

He Hua instantly understood what the boss meant. It was very obvious, that is to select technical backbones related to helicopter design or manufacturing to participate in this air show. Age, education, technical level, etc. became the main selection criteria.

The list came out soon and was announced.

For example, in front of the bulletin board of the helicopter assembly workshop, there are three floors inside and three floors outside surrounded by many people. A red list inside the bulletin board announced the list of people who will go to France to participate in the air show, and there are two people in the assembly workshop.

Both of them are technical backbones of the assembly workshop, both have a bachelor's degree, and they are both under the age of 35. They are talents with great development potential and high education.

"There are two people in our workshop!"

"I'm so envious of them. Going to France to participate in the air show is an opportunity that is rarely encountered in eight lifetimes."

"It seems that you still have to study hard, education is very important."

"."

When the list was announced, many employees of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group were envious, while those who were on the list were very excited. Some people secretly made up their minds that such a good company must work hard.

The day of the air show is getting closer, the first batch of five people has already set off, and a few days later, a total of ten people including Lin Feng, He Hua, and Xia Yang are also preparing to set off.

But instead of going directly to France, they first met in the capital. This time, it was a team, including several domestic aviation industry enterprises, several design and research units, a total of dozens of people.

The team leader was a senior leader with experience in this field. After arriving in the capital, he held the first plenary meeting, announcing discipline, requirements, and paying attention to details.

The next day, everyone boarded the plane and headed to Paris, France.

What first class, business class is impossible, all economy class, even the leader is no exception. In the middle and early 90s, everyone was not rich, and we adhered to the principle of saving what we could, and absolutely never wasted.

Lin Feng's position is by the aisle, Xia Yang is next to him, and He Hua is in the innermost position by the window. After more than ten hours of flight, he arrived in Paris.

Everything has been arranged, which saves trouble. Get on the car after leaving the airport, and then everyone arrives at the hotel where they are staying, and then checks in. All you need to do is follow the team.

The hotel I stayed in can only be regarded as mediocre, neither good nor bad, but they all share a room for one person. In Western countries, it is rare for two big men to live in one room. It is normal in China, but it is normal in the West. problematic.

Not long after moving in, Wang Tianfang knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Lin, I'm at the diagonally opposite door to you. We're going to go grocery shopping. Do you want to come together?"

A total of six people came to Phoenix Factory, and Wang Tianfang was the team leader.The problem of check-in is solved, and the next step is the problem of eating.

Meals are settled by themselves, basically with the enterprise as the unit, and several people from the same enterprise eat together.

Go out to eat?
That’s basically impossible. Now it’s 1993, and everyone doesn’t have much money. If the travel subsidy is placed in China, it is definitely very high, more than ten dollars a day, but if it is more than ten dollars here, it is too much to think about meals and restaurants. , the money is far from enough.

Meals, travel, daily necessities, etc. all depend on this little subsidy, so what should I do, do it yourself.

For example, Wang Tianfang and they will prepare to buy some vegetables, salt oil, seasonings, etc. from the supermarket, and then the hotel will have a kitchen and tableware, so they can cook by themselves, which is much cheaper.

Lin Feng immediately understood what Wang Tianfang meant, and said, "Okay, then let's have dinner together, but I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Everyone had already had dinner together at noon. The KFC eaten by dozens of people is definitely a big meal in China. There are no KFCs in many cities. In the eyes of many Chinese, this is a high-end foreign meal.

Here is the cheapest fast food, very cheap, and the patrons are basically low-income people.

Starting from today's dinner, the problem of eating for several days in the future must be solved by himself. Lin Feng does not reject cooking by himself, but it is still a bit difficult to accept cooking by himself every day.

Now that you are in France, you must enjoy the delicious food here. Others do not have this financial strength, and Lin Feng has no problem at all.

It's fine for everyone to stay in this ordinary hotel together. Lin Feng has no plan to take the Leihuo Technology Industry Group's people to stay in another high-end hotel, because although this hotel is only of medium grade, it is clean and hygienic.

If he really took his own people to live in a high-end hotel, what would others say and think, Lin Feng didn't want others to discuss it quietly.

Going for a few big meals now and then should be fine.Lin Feng originally planned to invite his people out to have a good meal tonight, since Wuyou let him come over, let's go together, anyway, there are only six people in Phoenix Factory.

Wang Tianfang cheered up all of a sudden, "Okay, then we'll save money on dinner tonight."

If you are abroad, you can save a little bit. Wang Tianfang’s salary is relatively high in China, five to six hundred yuan a month, and there are bonuses and the like, but it’s really not expensive here. I guess he will treat his people for one or two. The meal is gone.

In the evening, the group set off to a high-end western restaurant not far away.

Now that I'm here, I must eat Western food first, and when I get tired of eating and don't want to eat, I will consider eating Chinese food.

When the group left the hotel, they encountered several waves of people coming back from the outside, and none of them were carrying shopping bags from the supermarket, which contained various ingredients and seasonings.

If you look carefully, you will find that they are basically meat dishes, such as beef and chicken. These two kinds of meat are the cheapest, but there are very few vegetables, because vegetables are expensive, even more expensive than beef.

Some people cook by themselves in the hotel, a few people, or a dozen or so people together, but there are also a few people who go out to eat.

After finally coming to France, I prepared to go out to taste Western food with a hemorrhage mentality. I still need one or two meals occasionally, and then I guess most of them cook by themselves in the hotel.

When he walked out of the hotel, he met several waves of people who came back from the supermarket to buy vegetables, and almost all of them bought beef and chicken. Lin Feng thought in his heart, people cook in the hotel to save money, will we be punished if we go out to eat big meals? Hit.

It's another [-] words, and I ask everyone for recommendation votes for support!

There is no manuscript saved, and the update at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning is estimated to be postponed to the afternoon.
