Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

Everyone in the office swallowed.

50 billion, what an unimaginable number in this era.

How much funding was given to the Yunshi project in the first place?

Before the Yunshi project was terminated, the team applied for another 3000 million yuan in funding, but there was no such funding.

But now, the young man in front of him has 50 billion yuan in his mouth. Even if this amount is discounted in half, it is still a terrifying amount of money.

Let alone 50 billion, for them, 5 million is a very big number.

Large aircraft burn money, but this money burning is not a one-time burn.But it continues to burn, because the development of large aircraft takes too long. From development to putting a large aircraft into operation, it only takes more than ten years, and some even require decades of research and development.

Sometimes, the preliminary demonstration work for an aircraft takes several years.

After being shocked, everyone's eyes lit up.

If you really have sufficient funds and such good benefits, who wouldn't like it?

As astronauts, they have dreams, and it is this persistence that allows them to work silently and pay in the most difficult environment.

But now, Huasheng Group allows them to gain more while giving. At this moment, many people are excited.Everyone has selfish motives. Who wouldn’t want to make more money without betraying the organization or violating principles and conscience?

What's more, this money is a serious salary, clean and legal.

"Teachers, let's move to the conference room. Let me talk about our first project."

Xu Huasheng said with a smile. Everyone nodded and followed Xu Huasheng into the conference room.

In the conference room, after everyone sat down, Xu Huasheng looked at everyone with a smile on their faces.

"Everyone, I would like to ask you a question first. Do you think why the Yunshi project was cancelled? Is it because the country has no money? Or is it because of the West? Or is it some special reason?"

Xu Huasheng's words made everyone fall silent.

At this moment, no one knew what to say.They didn't know the real reason why Yun Shi dismounted, and they didn't even want to know.

But more people don't understand, feel aggrieved and unwilling.

"Since you don't want to talk about it, let me look at this issue from the perspective of a businessman. I think from a business perspective, the reason why the Yun-[-] project was canceled is because this aircraft has almost no commercial impact. potential……"

As soon as Xu Huasheng said these words, everyone raised their heads and looked at Xu Huasheng with some dissatisfaction in their eyes.Looking at everyone's expressions, Xu Huasheng smiled slightly.

"Everyone, I am a businessman. As a businessman, any product developed by our company has only two words in the end: profit. If this product cannot bring profits to the company, then no matter how good the product is, we will not It will not be launched or developed. No company in the world will make a loss-making business, and the same is true for large civil aviation aircraft."

Xu Huasheng's words made everyone think deeply.

"Let's go back to the big airplanes. When talking about the big civil aviation airplanes, let's briefly recall the development of the civil aviation industry. More than 70 years ago, the airplanes flying in the sky at that time were not angels carrying dreams, but demons bringing death. . The little devil’s plane brought countless disasters to China. I think General Master Cheng should still have a deep memory of this scene..."

Xu Huasheng looked at Cheng Youyou, who nodded.

He was still a teenager at that time and experienced the most terrifying time personally.Japanese planes dropped bombs one after another and took away lives. This is the evil caused by airplanes.

"Later, Japan occupied the southeastern frontier of our country and blocked the sea aid routes. Therefore, almost all the external aid supplies for the Anti-Japanese War at that time came from a route from India to the southwest of our country. This route required crossing the Himalayas and the entire journey required crossing high mountains. The route has ups and downs, so it is also called the hump route. Everyone should be aware of this history..."

Xu Huasheng said with a smile, and everyone laughed when they heard this.As an astronaut, how can we not know this history?The hump route was a lifeline during the Chinese War of Resistance.

Why did Japan attack Myanmar?Why does China have an expeditionary army?It was all for this route. It can be said that at that time, this line was the lifeline of China. Without this route, China's war of resistance would be even more difficult and cruel.

"Most of the aircraft flying on the hump route are transport aircraft. One of the earliest profitable civil aviation aircraft in the world was the DC-3 on the hump route. After the end of World War II, a large number of DC-3s used in the war poured into the civil aviation market, making Civil aviation has developed vigorously. Airplanes have shortened the distance between people and made the world smaller. Routes are like blood vessels connecting the world, bringing new vitality to the world..."

Xu Huasheng's words made everyone nod.Yes, when airplanes first came out, they were used for war.After World War II, the civil aviation industry began to flourish.

"The development of my country's civil aviation industry originated from the uprising of the two airlines. When employees of the two airlines took off 12 passenger planes from Hong Kong Island to join China's construction, my country's civil aviation industry began. From that time, the number of aircraft flying in my country's skies There are more and more civil aviation aircraft. From the piston propeller DC-3, CV240, to the turboprop IL-18 purchased from the Soviet Union, to the jet passenger Trident purchased from the United Kingdom, the aircraft used by my country's civil aviation industry , while constantly increasing, it is also a process of upgrading, from backward aircraft to more advanced aircraft..."

Xu Huasheng talked about the development history of civil aviation in detail, and this knowledge also made many people no longer despise Xu Huasheng. At least Xu Huasheng had done his homework and was not a businessman who didn't understand anything.

"Everyone, if I ask you about the most successful civil aviation aircraft model in the world, you should know who it is, right?"

Xu Huasheng asked with a smile.

"Boeing 707..."

A middle-aged man said casually, and the others also laughed.The Boeing 707 is the most successful civil aviation airliner in their minds, and this aircraft is the anchor of the Y-[-].

"Yes, it's the Boeing 707. After World War II, both the United Kingdom and the United States successively increased their investment in civil aviation aircraft. Faster speeds and a more comfortable cabin environment gave flying travel a whole new experience. Especially the Boeing 707 passenger aircraft, this Why is the aircraft so successful? Because this aircraft set the design template for modern civil aviation aircraft, so that most of the subsequent successful civil aviation aircraft have a similar layout to it."

Xu Huasheng spoke very seriously, and everyone listened very seriously.Although they are all aviation people, at this moment they feel that what Xu Huasheng said is very interesting, and the angle is different from their own thinking.

As a scientific researcher, I mostly think about issues from a technical perspective. Is this aircraft advanced or not? What are the data?Xu Huasheng discusses the issue from a business perspective.

"The Boeing 707 is the world's first commercially successful commercial jet airliner. Do you know why the Boeing 707 is the world's first commercially successful commercial jet airliner?"

Xu Huasheng looked at everyone. This question made everyone think deeply. As scientific researchers, they really didn't understand this question.
