The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 206: 100-aircraft large order [Request full order]

Jenny, a reporter from the New York Times, looked at her colleagues with an air of superiority and said, "So, regardless of whether their test flight was successful this time, we must speak with one voice and vigorously publicize that their test flight was a disastrous failure!"

"We must keep hitting them! Completely destroy their confidence!"

Collinsman nodded and said, "Yes! No matter what the results of their test flight are, we must all speak badly of them! Let people all over the world lose confidence in them!"

"In this case, it will be impossible for their aircraft to find overseas users!"

"Even their own people might refuse!"

Horn said: "We need to get the media in Dragon Country to cooperate with our actions!"

"We need to let them repost these negative news back to their own countries, so that it can cause a greater blow."

Collinsman hesitated for a moment and said, "It may not be that easy to get their own media to cooperate with us, right?"

Jenny lit a cigarette and said, "It's easy!"

"Aren't they released now?"

"Even though their media are state-owned, they can't stop the disunity among the media people!"

"We have done some research and found that among the journalists in Long's media, a large number of them admire us and look up to us."

"We only need to promise them a little bit of benefit, and they will work hard for us."

"Even if we don't give them any benefits, they will still be willing to work for us."

Horn nodded in agreement and said, "That's true! There are indeed many such guys!"

"I find it very interesting. What on earth are in these people's heads?"

While these reporters from the Lizard Kingdom were discussing here, Wang Haoran was also negotiating with several guests from afar together with Lin Jianshe, the head of the Magic City Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

These people are not ordinary people.

They are all heads of several domestic aviation companies.

In fact, before, there was only one company in Longguo: Longguo Civil Aviation.

However, under the promotion of the country, civil aviation enterprises have been established in several important regions of the country one after another, and some airports that were originally used only for military purposes have begun to be used for both military and civilian purposes. Everything is for the sake of economic development.

Now, the heads of these civil aviation companies, led by Sun Xiaoyu, head of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, have come to the Y-10 test flight site together.

This time they came here to cheer for the Magic City Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

After today's test flight, they will also sign an agreement with the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Company to purchase the Y-10 aircraft.

With orders, the company's development has a foundation.

In the past two years, domestic airlines have purchased civil airliners from Xifang. As a second choice, they also purchased Il-series airliners from Daxiong. Of course, the Il-series is still the main one, mainly Il-series airliners, which are really cheap!
Even after the Y-10's previous test flight was successful and it had been conducting test flights for two years, it still did not receive any orders from the domestic civil aviation system.

But this time, domestic civil aviation intends to give Mo Fei a shot of chicken blood from the very beginning.

This is also the instruction from the superiors.

Sun Xiaoyu said to Lin Jianshe: "Mr. Lin, you have to give me an accurate time. When can we start delivering the aircraft?"

Lin Jianshe smiled and said, "At most one and a half years later."

"Of course, if the test flight goes very smoothly and the aircraft has gone through multiple tests without any major problems and does not need any major improvements, it is very likely that the aircraft will be finalized in half a year and then can be mass-produced and delivered."

Sun Xiaoyu frowned and said, "It took Daxiong's Il-62 four years from the start of development to its official delivery."

"It took Boeing eight years from development to delivery of the 707."

"Their technology is so advanced, yet they still use such a long cycle."

“Why can you confidently believe that delivery can begin in one and a half years at the latest?”

"Aren't you afraid that there might be major safety issues if you rush too hastily?"

As the recipient, Sun Xiaoyu's question was not meant to be a challenge but a responsible urging.

Lin Jianshe said: "This is because our Y-10 is already a very mature model."

"After all, it's been more than two years since we built and tested it."

Sun Xiaoyu said: "But, didn't you make major improvements?"

"I have also visited the improved Y-10 aircraft, which has undergone a complete transformation."

“Almost all the avionics systems have been replaced.”

“The engine was also replaced with a domestically produced one and was installed on an aircraft for the first time.”

"What I want to say is that we should not be too anxious. Safety comes first. After all, the plane is flying in the sky. If something goes wrong, people will die."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Comrade Xiaoyu, we pay more attention to safety than anyone else!"

"After all, the designers and developers are the ones who are primarily responsible!"

"The reason why Mr. Lin just said that we can deliver the goods within half a year at the shortest is because we have strong confidence in the current Y-10."

"Although the new Y-10 has just rolled off the assembly line, its design concept is very mature. As long as there are no problems during the test flight and the safety factor and economic index are completely normal, we can start mass production."

"So please trust us."

Wang Haoran knew that Sun Xiaoyu was actually forced to come and show his support this time.

If his superiors had not asked him to support domestically produced aircraft, how could he have brought these airlines to place orders?

He would have liked to have given all the orders to Jusa and European aircraft manufacturers.

He even looks down on Big Bear's Il-62 now.

Sun Xiaoyu wanted to make things difficult for Lin Jianshe.

He hoped that Lin Jianshe would give up in the face of difficulties and say that it would take a few more years, for example, eight years before the supply of the Y-8 aircraft would be available. Then Sun Xiaoyu could send all the orders for the past few years to the hands of the Yosa Company.

But now?

Wang Haoran came out and unconditionally supported Mo Fei.

Sun Xiaoyu had no choice but to nod and say, "With Comrade Haoran's words, I feel more confident."

"No doubt about it, we must unconditionally support our own domestically produced passenger aircraft!"

Wang Haoran said calmly: "Comrade Xiaoyu, how many aircraft orders do you plan to support?"

Sun Xiaoyu said: "The new Y-10 had its first test flight today. If the test flight goes well, we can sign a contract for 10 aircraft. What do you think?"

"As for the price, let's go with the price of the Il-62. 50 per aircraft, is that ok?"

"You also know that the country is in a difficult situation. You are also a state-owned enterprise. You should make some contribution to the country."

Wang Haoran and Lin Jianshe's faces both turned very ugly.

This Sun Xiaoyu is going a bit too far.

Because an Il-62 costs about $25, but the materials used in this aircraft are relatively poor. Moreover, it is not fuel-efficient, with an astonishingly high fuel consumption and terribly poor fuel economy.

It doesn't have any decent avionics or anything.

Its cost cannot be compared with that of the Y-10.

The Y-10 uses a lot of ultra-high-strength steel and ultra-strong aluminum alloy materials, and many of its components are made of carbon fiber.

Its avionics system also uses the latest radar integrated system, and the entire aircraft has as many as several thousand sensors.

The cost alone is more than 50.

The fuel consumption of the Y-10 is nearly half of that of the Il-62, and its fuel economy is better than that of the Boeing 707.

Sun Xiaoyu actually only offered a price of 50 per aircraft.

This is really not a thing.

Wang Haoran wanted to curse.

Wang Haoran frowned and said, "You compare the Il-62 with our Y-10?"

"The materials used in our Y-10 are ultra-high-strength steel and the best aluminum alloy, and we also use a lot of carbon fiber materials!"

"Our aircraft uses 3812 high-performance sensors!"

"What's Il got?"

Wang Haoran was very angry, so he was not polite when speaking to Sun Xiaoyu.

Seeing that Wang Haoran was angry, Sun Xiaoyu quickly smiled and said, "I know, I know, our Y-10 is definitely better than the Il-62!"

"But you should also understand the difficulties of the country!"

"We need money everywhere now. Money is so scarce."

"Now, I'm giving it to you at cost price."

"Wouldn't it be nice for us to get through this together?"

Wang Haoran snorted coldly and said, "I saw your plan to buy new planes!"

"You are applying for the purchase of 10 Boeing 707s for a total of $1.25 million!"

"A 707 is worth $1250 million!"

"And I want to tell you clearly that the Boeing 707 is nothing compared to the Y-10 we developed!"

"You used such precious foreign exchange to buy such expensive dregs. What on earth were you thinking?"

Wang Haoran was really anxious this time.

This Sun Xiaoyu had previously made trouble to get the Y-10 off the ground.

Now things are good. The leaders above have made it clear that they want domestic civil aviation to purchase domestic passenger aircraft from the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. He is good at it. One aircraft is priced at 50 RMB. If we buy 10 aircraft, we can't even cover the cost!

The current cost of a Y-10 is more than 150 million RMB!

He just wants to kill the Y-10!

Wang Haoran was thinking: Was I too kind before?
So, this guy wants to bully people all the time and everywhere?

When Sun Xiaoyu saw that Wang Haoran was ready to break up with him, he became very angry.

Because he feels that he is of a higher rank.

He thinks he is the boss.

It was wrong for Wang Haoran to yell at him like that.

There was a moment when he really wanted to turn around and leave.

However, he knew that he absolutely couldn't do it.

why?
Because if he left, Wang Haoran would definitely call his superiors, and they would definitely support Wang Haoran.

"Comrade Haoran, please don't be angry! I don't know why you are angry."

"Is there anything wrong with buying 10 Boeing 707s?"

“This is a national plan!”

Wang Haoran snorted coldly and said, "Comrade Xiaoyu, I don't care about the plan. I just want to tell you one thing clearly: it's wrong for you to spend so much money to buy Boeing!"

"Jusa has evil intentions towards us. We shouldn't spend so much money to buy their plane just to please them!"

"I don't agree to this deal!"

Sun Xiaoyu suppressed his anger and said with a fake smile: "This is a national plan!"

"It's no use if you don't agree!"

"Being friendly with Jusa is also our country's policy!"

Wang Haoran laughed and said, "Comrade Sun Xiaoyu, it seems that you are very confident!"

"You think you are the absolute boss in the civil aviation sector and you can do whatever you want!"

"Today, I want to challenge your authority!"

Wang Haoran had never been involved in anything other than scientific research before.

But today, for the healthy development of the country's large passenger aircraft project, he must go all out!
Sun Xiaoyu was stunned.

He looked at Wang Haoran a little confused.

"Comrade Haoran, why are you so angry?"

"I was impartial and came to sign a purchase agreement when the Y-10 had just been tested to support the domestic project."

"You actually got angry at me. I think it's totally inappropriate."

Sun Xiaoyu began to pretend to be innocent.

Wang Haoran said: "Let me give Comrade Sun Xiaoyu a suggestion."

“把10架波音707给变成2架，然后购买50架伊尔62暂时用来撑起国内以及国际的民航业务！”

"The remaining money will be used to sign a contract for 100 Y-10 passenger aircraft!"

"Our Y-10 passenger plane is priced at RMB 300 million domestically and USD 500 million externally!"

Sun Xiaoyu's face changed.

He felt that he had been giving in.

But Wang Haoran has been pressing forward step by step and is very aggressive!
He has submitted the plan to purchase aircraft for approval by his superiors.

I estimate that it should be roughly feasible.

Now things are good, Wang Haoran is actually going to interfere in my business.

This is too much.

"300 million is a bit too expensive! They are all state-owned assets, why do you set the price so high?"

"Do you still want to make money from the country?"

"The country has made free investments in you in the early stages!"

Sun Xiaoyu said with a frown.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "I'll call my boss."

"I think it's more appropriate to say some things directly to the leader."

Sun Xiaoyu's face turned pale.

However, he saw no problem with the plan to purchase 10 Boeing aircraft.

He can't get anything on the surface.

However, the other party did promise him benefits. The benefits will be fulfilled in the future...

"Comrade Haoran, there's no need to alert the leadership about this matter, right?"

"If you have any opinions about me, just tell me, you can criticize me directly, that's fine."

Sun Xiaoyu's attitude softened suddenly.

When Wang Haoran took a look, he verified one thing, that is: this man was definitely being hunted.

Wang Haoran didn't want to break up with him now.

I'll talk to the designer about this later.

"I demand that the order for the Y-10 must not be less than 100 aircraft! 300 million RMB per aircraft!"

"The materials used in the manufacture of our Y-10 are all top-notch in the world! The production cost has reached nearly 200 million!"

“If a business does not have profits, how can it continue to develop?”

Sun Xiaoyu thought about it and realized that an order for 100 aircraft would only amount to 3 million yuan, but this 3 million yuan would definitely be paid year by year.

Then there should be no problem.

Sign for 100 aircraft, then sign for aircraft!
Anyway, this is a good thing.

The leaders above have already given instructions.

Even if there are any problems in the future, it doesn’t matter. It’s not your responsibility.

He thought so and said, "Sure! Then sign 100 aircraft. 300 million each. I totally agree!"

"Our domestic civil aviation market will only grow in the future. We don't have enough civil aviation aircraft now!"

Sun Xiaoyu said generously.

Lin Jianshe was completely stunned.

He never dreamed that Sun Xiaoyu would agree to Wang Haoran's request!

The civil aviation system directly ordered 100 Y-10 passenger aircraft from the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Plant!

This is definitely sensational news!
Once this news is released, it is estimated that media around the world will report it.

Of course, maybe the lizard media will be sarcastic: Do you think it’s interesting that you place orders to yourself?

But the orders you give to yourself are also business!

Our own market is big enough, why not keep it for ourselves instead of leaving it to others?

Lin Jianshe was so excited that he stuttered a little.

"Thank you, thank you leader!"

"I knew you supported our work."

At this moment, Lin Jianshe really wanted to kowtow to Sun Xiaoyu.

Sun Xiaoyu felt very disgusted at this moment.

It's disgusting to the extreme.

This was the first time he was forced to do something.

He can't stand this.

But now he still has to pretend to be very happy.

"Yes! Mr. Lin, we are all from the same system. We are a family!"

"If we don't support the Magic City Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, who else should we support?"

“You must do a good job!”

"We must fight for our Dragon people's dignity!"

Sun Xiaoyu said with a smile.

However, Wang Haoran saw a hint of disgust in Sun Xiaoyu's eyes.

He thought to himself, I guess after this, I will have a grudge against Sun Xiaoyu.

However, let’s sign the order for these 100 planes first!

Sign the contract first to give Mo Fei peace of mind.

Wang Haoran smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Comrade Xiaoyu."

"You have given our civilian large aircraft industry a shot in the arm!"

Sun Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Comrade Haoran may be a little prejudiced against me."

"In fact, I have always been very supportive of our country's own civil aviation aircraft."

"I sincerely hope that our big airplane can be developed sooner!"

"That would bring honor to our country!"

"When do you think we should sign the agreement?"

“Before the test flight or after the test flight?”

"I listen to you."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "There is no personal grudge between us. We may just have different opinions on some things."

"It's nothing."

"As for the agreement, let's sign it after the test flight is completed today."

Just like that, under the pressure of Wang Haoran, Sun Xiaoyu agreed to sign a big order of 100 aircraft with Mofei.

After discussing the agreement, Wang Haoran invited Sun Xiaoyu to watch the test flight together.

Sun Xiaoyu came out of the office with Wang Haoran with a smile on his face, and drove straight to the test flight field next door.

There, a Y-10 is ready to go.

This test flight was still captained by Lin Jianjun, a meritorious test pilot from the Air Force, and a test flight crew was formed.

In addition to Sun Xiaoyu, Zhao Xiansheng, head of the Air Force, was also present.

This is because the Y-10 is also being planned to be converted into a large electronic warfare aircraft.
