Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

"Mr. Xu, order now. How long will it take for the goods to arrive?"

In the hotel room, Akers had no questions about the price, but only asked about the shipping time.

"If it's a desktop computer, it needs to be shipped by sea, which will take a little longer. After all, the desktop computer is too big and the air freight cost is too expensive. If it's a laptop computer, it can be shipped by air..."

Xu Huasheng said directly. Today's desktop computers do not use LCD screens, but traditional picture tube screens, which are low-cost but heavy.

Relatively speaking, notebooks use LCD screens, which are more expensive and have more integrated accessories. Of course, they are also more expensive.

"Then I just want a laptop, 100,000 units, and we'll pay for the transportation costs..."

Akers said directly that the most important thing for him now is time. I must prove that cooperating with Huasheng Group is the right choice in the shortest possible time. Only in this way can I stay at IBM.

"No problem. If it's shipped by air, it will arrive in a few days..."

Xu Huasheng nodded. The production capacity of notebooks is still relatively good now. The production speed of 100,000 notebooks is very fast. At worst, the domestic inventory will be taken out and shipped over with a different label.

Get IBM as soon as possible. Now Xu Huasheng's strategy is that even if the hardware does not make money or even pays for it, it will be no problem. What Xu Huasheng wants to do now is to grab the computer operating system, kill Microsoft and Apple, and make Hongmeng the king, or the only one, of the global computer operating system.

There will be plenty of opportunities to make money on hardware in the future. But if you miss the software opportunity, it will be difficult to think about it again.

Stand up the Hongmeng system and all kinds of ecology, so that the whole Hongmeng will be stable. Now that Clinton and Xu Huasheng have invested a lot, there should be no major obstacles to his business during his term.

If Hongmeng can bring the Bush family in, then there shouldn’t be much change in the next eight years. After these sixteen years have really gone smoothly, it will be difficult for the United States to become a Hongmeng. Because by that time, Xu Huasheng will not only control Hongmeng.

Instead, with Hongmeng as the core, the entire Internet software ecosystem includes all walks of life. This ecological barrier is much more powerful than Google in the original time and space.

Xu Huasheng plans to turn Hongmeng into two companies. One company is in the United States and the other is in China. For companies in the United States, the market should be narrowed as much as possible. If possible, the scope should be narrowed in the United States.

The reason for this is just in case. If it is not split, Hongmeng will never grow. The chaebols in Europe and the United States will never allow a Chinese computer operating system to dominate their market and make their money.

Akers and Xu Huasheng left directly after chatting for a long time.

The Chinese business inspection team with Xu Huasheng as the core also became busy. According to the process, the inspection team began to inspect some places, but these were superficial actions.

Secretly, Boeing is busy here.

The harsh conditions proposed by Xu Huasheng were finally reached after two full days of Boeing's board meeting and the three agreements were agreed to.

"Mr. Xu, our final quotation is US$5800 million for a Boeing 737-400 model..."

The headquarters of Boeing Group, the Chinese inspection team came here.

Xu Huasheng officially started negotiations with Boeing Group on behalf of China Star Airlines. The aircraft China Star Airlines wants to purchase this time is Boeing's 737-400 aircraft.

This model of aircraft is an improved model developed by Boeing in 1985. The normal cruising speed of the aircraft is 780 kilometers per hour, and the maximum endurance speed is 876 kilometers per hour.

The maximum range is 4024 kilometers and the maximum passenger capacity is 180 people.

Such data can fully meet the needs of China Star Airlines. Xu Huasheng's China Star Airlines currently mainly operates in the country and some nearby countries.

"President Frank, our company has ordered 200 passenger planes. The 200 passenger planes will be assembled in China and delivered in five years. You need to help us establish an assembly line in China that can assemble forty planes a year and train workers..."

Xu Huasheng also expressed his request.

These 200 aircraft will be assembled in China. Boeing must help China build an assembly plant with an annual output of 40 Boeing 737s and train enough assembly workers.

With an annual output of forty large passenger aircraft, this factory is actually quite large.

In fact, as long as the assembly technology is mastered and there are enough skilled workers, the factory's production capacity can be expanded at any time.

Xu Huasheng's plan is very simple. First use this factory to train skilled workers. We will first promote employment and slowly pursue the production and research and development of China's domestically produced large aircraft.

As for the location of the aircraft factory, Xu Huasheng has already chosen it.

Xu Huasheng still plans to locate this aircraft manufacturing plant in Tianjin.

Tianjin now has the automobile industry base of Shanhai Automobile Group. This industrial base is very large in scale and will also drive the development of related industries.

Aircraft manufacturing also requires many, many things. The manufacturers that make auto parts can actually produce some things.

For example, for aluminum materials used in aircraft fuselages, the same aluminum company may provide aluminum materials for automobiles and aircraft.

It is entirely possible that supporting factories that produce wiring harnesses, sensors, seats, etc. can also provide supporting equipment for aircraft.

An aircraft manufacturing base and an automobile production base, relying solely on the automobile industry and aircraft manufacturing industry, can directly boost the entire Tianjin economy and become the most dazzling economic pearl in the north.

After some discussion, China Star Airlines and Boeing finally reached a formal agreement.

Clinton was very excited when he learned that the agreement was reached. 200 large aircraft, each worth 5800 million US dollars, the value of this business is as high as 116 billion US dollars.

Not long after he moved into the White House, he received such a sky-high price order. This was simply the best gift for him to move in.

As a result, Clinton immediately mobilized the media and began to vigorously publicize this matter.

"The Chinese Business Inspection Team placed sky-high orders, and the $116 billion order saved Boeing..."

"With orders for 200 passenger aircraft, China's orders have allowed Boeing to take off again..."

"US-China relations have entered a new stage, Clinton congratulates Boeing..."

"Clinton said that he wants to improve U.S.-China relations and that win-win cooperation is the mainstream of both countries..."

Mainstream media in the United States began to report on this matter one after another, and Boeing even proactively spent money to find the media to report on this matter. This is the biggest good news for Boeing to boost its stock price.

Now that the agreement has been reached, China's senior officials and Clinton have personally witnessed this matter, which shows that this matter is a certainty.
