Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Whether a product can be popularized on a large scale is not only related to the performance of the product, but also closely related to the price of the product.

For example, Nanshan Carbon Fiber T1200 has very good performance, there is no doubt about it.

But if the selling price of one ton is directly charged at 1000 million, then it is simply impossible to popularize it on a large scale.

Similarly, Venus Technology's Kunpeng has excellent performance, but if the price of one unit reaches more than one billion yuan, it is obviously not possible to be popularized on a large scale.

Today, Pan Jun brought the leaders of relevant departments to come directly to Cao Yang. On the one hand, it fully demonstrated that the relevant departments have a very strong demand for a heavy transport helicopter like Kunpeng.

After waiting for so many years, China finally got its own heavy transport helicopter. Naturally, everyone couldn't wait to equip it.

The annual funds are relatively fixed. If more is used at sea, less will be used on land.

Although the final purchase quantity has not been finalized yet, Venus Technology can start relevant preparations.

"Furthermore, the fuel consumption of the Mi-26 is very high, and the cost per hour of use is simply not acceptable to ordinary people."

"In addition to the CH-47, we can also compare the situation with the polar bears. Their Mi-26 has a larger take-off weight than Kunpeng."

On the other hand, the relevant departments also want to directly find Cao Yang who can make the final decision, and quickly cut through the mess to get the first batch of purchase orders.

"According to the Chinese people's cost lethality, the final sales price of their Kunpeng will definitely be much lower than Boeing's CH-47."

Heavy transport helicopters, they also want them very much.

"Then there is the Mi-26 we bought back for tens of millions of dollars. In all likelihood, it is second-hand or refurbished. It is completely different from Kunpeng."

"But Mr. Cao, you also know that everything costs money now, so we can only squeeze out a little budget and use it first."

Well now, this helicopter is simply not suitable for use at sea, so there is no need to argue.

In this way, basically all equipment investment and development costs can be recovered.

“But it’s surprising that Chinese people can create a company like Kunpeng.”

Especially before various early costs have been amortized, it is not appropriate to set the price too low.

When Cao Yang said this, the other party immediately couldn't help but said: "It's better to go with the price of 1.5 million for the first time. If the sales volume reaches 500 later, we can use the extra money paid before for 1 million. Purchase other products or return them to us in other ways.”

Obviously, what people are worried about is that when the time comes to apply for funding, the other party will have objections.

Although both are heavy transport helicopters, the CH-47 has a very special twin-propeller structure, while the CH-53 has a relatively traditional multi-page single-propeller structure.

"Daystar can produce Boeing's CH-47, and I believe Sikorsky's CH-53 will not be a problem for them."

After all, if a product like Kunpeng costs 1.5 million yuan, it is really cheap.

But the relationship between the two families is definitely not good.

"But as the world's largest helicopter, the sales price is only about 2000 million US dollars, and it can even be negotiated."

"Old Huang, it's such a pity. This Kunpeng heavy transport helicopter has a twin-propeller structure. It takes up too much space on the deck and is not suitable for use on ships at sea."

Everyone is not on the same level.

"At most we can accept a price similar to that of the Mi-26, otherwise this budget will not be approved in the end."

"Mr. Cao, by arranging your team in advance to develop a heavy transport helicopter with a traditional layout based on Sikorsky's CH-53, you have fully anticipated the opinions of the relevant departments."

But it is based on the purchase quantity being large enough.

"But the production of this kind of helicopter is very difficult. Just for the transmission shaft inside, we customized more than a dozen special machine tools, and the investment in equipment exceeded 10 billion."

"Boeing has always boasted about releasing the CH-47 drawings before, but no other manufacturer can produce it."

"I believe you have actually heard about this."

If both sea and land are very suitable, then both sides will have needs, and then there will definitely be a fight to give priority to which side's needs are met.

The old man called Lao Huang said unconvinced.

Of course, when it comes to changing such a large order, it will definitely take a long time to finally officially settle it.

"As far as we know, Boeing's CH-47 in the United States just sold 20 CH-1.2s to Europe last year, with a unit price of US$ million."

"Old Song, don't be too happy too soon. I will have someone contact Daystar Technology later and ask them to learn from the structure of Sikorsky's CH-53 heavy transport helicopter and create a version suitable for use on ships. ”

"After all, we also have to focus more on various drones, business jets, and large transport aircraft."

Some relevant parameters have also been announced to the public.

Even if modified, it can be used to complete various tasks such as anti-submarine and maritime rescue.

"In this case, they still want 1.2 million US dollars for one aircraft."

Although Cao Yang is willing to support the development of China's national defense industry, he certainly cannot do business at a loss. That is not a long-term solution.

"As your leader just said about the Mi-26, it may be the largest helicopter in the world, but its cruising range is completely inadequate."

"And in order to produce this part, Nanshan Special Steel has specially developed a special steel, and the cost is very high."

This results in a situation where the deck space occupied by the aircraft is completely different.

When it comes to price, everyone’s demands are definitely different.

The two old men were bickering there, and no one else dared to interrupt casually.

"Leader, let's do this. We will definitely support the work of relevant departments. Kunpeng's main source of profit is also in exports."

"If you order less than 10 Kunpengs at one time, the unit price will be 5 million, because the amortization cost is too high, and we can't make money even at this price."

So after communicating for a while, he directly gave his plan.

In the future, Kunpeng's exports will no longer have these amortization fees. Even if it sells a unit for 2 million, the profit margin will be several hundred percent.

One of them is responsible for the navy's heavy transport helicopters, and the other is responsible for the army's products. They can be said to be competitors, and their products can also be regarded as complementary.

"Even polar bears couldn't copy the CH-47 before."

"So if the purchase order from the relevant department is in the single digits, then our selling price may be higher than the CH-47."

As a helicopter company founded by the father of helicopters, Sikorsky's people have always been dissatisfied with Boeing's rival's approach of doing all projects.
