The weather in Hanzhong today is very good, with clear skies. Although the temperature is only a few degrees, it feels not as cold as theoretically understood.
In short, the weather forecast tells you to wear a cotton-padded jacket in this kind of weather. In fact, you only need a thicker coat.
Yao Yuan simply sat down on the stone bench by the roadside and waited for Zhong Weiguo to think about it.
After careful consideration for a while, Zhong Weiguo came over, sat down next to Yao Yuan, and said, "Changhong Factory hopes to increase its placement rate in Yuanda Electrical Appliances, and hopes that Yuanda Electrical Appliances can list Changhong Factory's products as its main products.
"
Yao Yuan suddenly laughed and shook his head slowly.
"You don't agree?" Zhong Weiguo said unexpectedly.
Yao Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Don't agree to anything, Lao Zhong, Yuanda Electric belongs to me. Of course I can let Yuanda Electric do this, but from the perspective of business operations, I cannot interfere with its operations casually. Otherwise, this will happen."
What is the difference between commanding and fighting with Chiang Kai-shek?"
Zhong Weiguo understood, "Is there any other way? Changhong Factory's appeal is to expand its market share. This is life-saving money for many armaments companies that are in dire straits."
He doesn't understand business operations. The idea proposed by Ni Hong can bring orders to many military industry companies and save these factories that are in a difficult situation. This is something he values.
Yao Yuan said, "I understand your mood. Let's put it this way, I don't know what the situation is with Yuanda Electric. Yuanda Electric is a company wholly owned by Yuanda Group, and Yuanda Group is a company wholly owned and managed by Dongfeng Group.
, it’s separated by one floor, and the reports handed over to me every year don’t show the situation of Yuanda Electric.”
If he had to oversee every enterprise, he would be exhausted a long time ago. There are so many enterprises.
"Changhong Factory hopes to increase the shelf rate and be promoted. I suggest talking directly to Yuanda Electric. The mechanism of Yuanda Electric is very complete. As long as it meets the requirements, no matter which company's product it is, it can get the key promotion treatment. And I remember
Changhong Factory seems to have the largest share in Yuanda Electric," Yao Yuan said.
It is a consensus that whose products enter Yuanda Electrical Appliances means it will achieve stable and huge sales. Therefore, Yuanda Electrical Appliances has formulated strict admission standards. If one of them is not met, it will not be put on the shelves.
The vast majority of people who have the ability to consume household appliances are urban families, and Yuanda Electric has completed the layout of large and medium-sized cities across the country, with thousands of branches. With the help of headwind logistics, it has cultivated the urban-rural fringe and beaten the other two rivals who have just started to cry.
Father calls mother.
Zhong Weiguo said, "Changhong Factory must have talked about it. It may not be easy to handle, so I asked my superiors for help. After a lot of trouble, I was found. It concerns the lives of tens of thousands of employees, and I have to pay attention to it."
Yao Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Want to listen to my advice?"
"Of course, you say." Zhong Weiguo said.
Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "It's hard to say what Ni Hong's purpose is. It's not that I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, but Ni Hong's statement is too far-fetched. This may involve the dispute between Yuanda Electric and the electrical appliance manufacturer.
Fight.”
Lu Gongming was captured, Zhou Fei had just taken over the Yuanda Group, and it was normal for other problems to arise when his foothold was not yet stable.
This is also the reason why Yao Yuan did not dare to agree to Zhong Weiguo easily.
Zhong Weiguo thought about it and immediately said, "Xiao Yao, if it will affect the operation of Yuanda Electric, just pretend that I have never said anything about it."
He understands the importance clearly.
Yao Yuan shook his head and said, "This is secondary. Yuanda Electric has been able to develop to its current scale, and it still has the ability to resist risks. What I find strange is that the plan proposed by Ni Hong can only solve a temporary emergency."
, Changhong Factory’s products cannot always be the main sales force. This is the law of the market. What will we do in the future? What will happen to the tens of thousands of employees you mentioned?”
"Yeah, what should I do? I'm worried to death." Zhong Weiguo sighed.
Yao Yuan gave his suggestion, "Split off the civilian products part of Changhong Factory, and merge it with those small arsenals that really can't survive to form a new Changhong Electric Group."
"Keep talking," Zhong Weiguo said.
Yao Yuan analyzed, "Changhong Factory produces airborne radars, which are very, very important components. It would be a pity to let them go to waste. Or the military products part could be separated and merged into other military enterprises to retain precious production capabilities.
"
"The Changhong Factory merged with other small factories to expand, invested in the research and development of new products, vigorously developed the domestic market while exploring overseas markets, and used the profits of Changhong Electrical Appliances to feed back the remaining military industrial enterprises. The transfer of military industrial enterprises to Changhong Factory can
Technology used in the production of civilian products. In this way, a virtuous cycle can be formed."
Yao Yuan said, "Old Zhong, let me tell you the truth, Changhong's TV sets are already showing signs of not being able to keep up with the technology. Chairman Ni seems to have little interest in developing new products. If this continues for a long time, Changhong's products will soon be
Being eliminated from the market, if Yuanda Electric insists on promoting such a product to customers, sooner or later Yuanda Electric will be criticized and problems will arise."
Zhong Weiguo completely understood. He felt ashamed of his recklessness and said, "Xiao Yao, I'm sorry, I didn't understand the situation."
"It's understandable that you don't know much about business operations," Yao Yuan said.
There was one thing he didn't say - you were used as a gun.
However, when Zhong Weiguo comes to his senses, he will soon figure it out.
It seems that there is a problem with Yuanda Electrical Appliances, Yao Yuan thought to himself.
Yao Yuan was going to No. 63, and Zhong Weiguo also followed.
Institute 63 is very close to Changfei Factory, just a few minutes' drive away.
Yao Yuan went straight to Tang Yunhong and said to Tang Yunhong, who was studying technical drawings at his desk, "Old Tang, Chunfeng Academy of Sciences is going to cooperate with Changfei Factory to make great fortune. I want you to be the chief designer."
This sentence shocked Tang Yunhong to the point where she dropped the paintbrush in her hand, and also shocked Zhong Weiguo. How could such a young man be the chief designer?
Chunfeng Academy of Sciences invested funds to join forces with Changfei Factory, 63rd Institute, and Chang'an Aviation Engine Factory to establish China Chunfeng Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. This is the biggest result of the last meeting.
As can be seen from the name, this limited liability company has a very important status and is the only company named after the headquarter group.
This company is the main body that implements all commercial aircraft projects.
Yao Yuan looked at the stunned Tang Yunhong, "Old Tang, do you dare?"
"Dare!" Tang Yunhong said subconsciously, "Why don't you dare! Are you going to build a big airplane?"
The premature death of the Y-10 is a pain for the Chinese people, and it is a regret that technicians like Tang Yunhong who are engaged in the development of large aircraft can never make up for in their lifetime.
"Yes." Yao Yuan said simply and neatly, "Build a large aircraft that is comparable to the Boeing-737, and build our own Boeing-747 as a Chinese people."
Tang Yunhong asked subconsciously, "Are the funds guaranteed?"
How Yun-10 died in infancy is no secret.
When the project team originally applied for 80 million Huaxia coins to conduct follow-up research, the prototype had already completed the plateau test flight, and it was just a matter of time. Unfortunately, the funding application for a mere 80 million Huaxia coins was turned back because there was no money.
No matter how difficult it is for such a big country, the finances will never be unable to provide a mere 80 million yuan.
The Y-10 project was discontinued, and the research teams were disbanded. Some turned to military aircraft, some found other ways, and some were lost in history as time went by.
What makes people angry is that all the technical data are gone. If there is no one behind this with foreign connections, no one will believe it. In the second year after the Y-10 was discontinued, Shanghai Aircraft Factory signed an agreement with Douglas Aircraft Company.
Assembling and producing DC-80 passenger aircraft.
It is infuriating, sad, and hateful to go back to the road of assembling and producing aircraft for others even though we are about to have our own big aircraft!
This is a strangulation of China’s aviation manufacturing industry by foreign aircraft companies.
Tang Yunhong didn't know the underlying reason behind this. He only knew that Yun-10 had to stop because of the lack of funds.
He couldn't help but say, "President Yao, the development of large aircraft is not like other industrial products. It not only requires continuous huge capital investment, but also takes a long time. From the production of the prototype, a series of airworthiness test flights must be carried out."
, this process alone will take several years.”
After a pause, he said, "If you want to get benefits as soon as possible, I suggest you forget it."
He knew that the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences was a corporate research institution, and they had to rely on their own blood production to sustain themselves. They did not receive state financial allocations, and a heavily funded project that would not generate any profits within ten years was not in line with the nature of an enterprise.
Tang Yunhong said this for Yao Yuan's sake.
Yao Yuan sat down and said, "I have carefully considered it. The Chunfeng Academy of Sciences has decided to designate the first project as a commercial large aircraft. YOFC Factory, Chang'an Aviation Engine Plant and your 63rd Institute have also agreed. The funds will be borne by the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences.
, you don’t need to worry about funding.”
He took out a copy of Dongfeng Commercial Aircraft's project account and handed it to Tang Yunhong, "The first tranche of funds has arrived, 800 million, all for the large aircraft project."
Yao Yuan made an "eight" sign.
This is Yao Yuan's dividend from Yuanda Electric for the entire last year. Previously, all this money was allocated to Chunfeng Academy of Science.
Tang Yunhong was dumbfounded by the series of "0"s. She had just given 300 million yuan to Chang'an Aviation Hair Factory, and now she has given another 800 million yuan. How much money does this Dean Yao have?
The most important thing is that this is a real 800 million!
Tang Yunhong tried her best to calm down and asked again, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to serve as the chief designer..."
"It's suitable. 63 Institute of Technology agrees, and YOFC Factory also agrees." Yao Yuan dispelled Tang Yunhong's concerns with one sentence.
Tang Yunhong took a deep breath and said, "Okay, okay, I am confident that 800 million is enough. It is completely enough. I will definitely be able to build my own big plane!"
"Old Tang, there are a few things I want to tell you in advance about the use of funds." Yao Yuan said seriously.
Tang Yunhong quickly sat up straight and said like a military order, "Don't worry, I promise to spend every penny wisely, significantly reduce administrative expenses, and use all the money for experiments!"
"I'm afraid you will be like this." Yao Yuan shook his head and said, "What I want to tell you is to spend your money boldly. As long as the problems can be solved with money, try to solve them with money and focus all your energy on research and development. Eight
One hundred million is nothing, there will be several more to eight hundred million in the future, and there is no cap on funding.”
He stared into Tang Yunhong's eyes and said, "I only have one request. When our large aircraft first flies, it must be more advanced than similar foreign models at the same time. Can it be achieved?"
Tang Yunhong only thought for a few seconds and said decisively, "Yes, I can issue a military order!"
"good."
Yao Yuan knew that Tang Yunhong had been brewing for more than a year or two, and he was fully capable of doing so.
Yao Yuan said, "I bought two second-hand aircraft, one is an Airbus A-320 and the other is a Boeing-737, and I will give them to you for dismantling and research."
The A-320 is a new model, representing the highest level of passenger aircraft in the world. The Boeing-737 is a generation of famous aircraft and the market leader.
Such development conditions are hundreds of times better than those of the previous Y-10 project team!
"Get ready to take office. You can choose your own R&D team. If you need coordination, go to your director. If your director can't coordinate, call Assistant Zhong Weiguo and he will help you solve it." Yao Yuan said.
Tang Yunhong quickly asked, "Where to do it?"
"Nangang, the headquarters of Chunfeng Academy of Sciences, the equipment there is more advanced, and the venue is also more advanced. For what kind of tests need to be done and what test site should be used, I also contacted Assistant Zhong Weiguo and asked him to coordinate." Yao Yuan said.
Wind tunnel tests can only be coordinated by Zhong Weiguo, and the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences does not have such a place.
Zhong Weiguo could only express his position and said, "Mr. Tang, I will write you a few numbers. You can contact me at any time. We will also have a working group stationed here. Contact them for daily problems. If they can't solve it, come to me."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
After leaving Tang Yunhong's office, Zhong Weiguo asked, "Can he do it? He is so young."
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "I'm younger than him."
"You are different." Zhong Weiguo shook his head and said.
Yao Yuandao said, "More than thirty is the most suitable age. This age group is when the physical fitness is at its best and the technical accumulation is sufficient. When I first met Tang Yunhong, I wrote a question for him to solve.
A theory on the difficulty of aerodynamic layout. This theory is at the top level in the world, and Tang Yunhong understands it, which shows that he is at this level."
"But I want to remind you that although it is a combination of four companies, the other three companies only hold a small share through technical cooperation. The main risks and responsibilities are on you. In the end, if it fails, you will have to bear all the losses yourself.
Yes." Zhong Weiguo said.
Yao Yuan chuckled, "This is a big aircraft project. If you are willing to hand it over to the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences to take the lead, I will wake up laughing in my dreams. I don't care about the money. Even if it fails, I can accumulate a lot of research data."
To put it bluntly, Changfei Factory, Changan Aviation Engine Factory, and 63 Institute lent people to Dongfeng Academy of Science, and then took a small share in Dongfeng Commercial Aircraft. Dongfeng Academy of Sciences gave the three companies money in the form of fixed annual dividends to serve as labor expenses for the loaned people.
, if the large aircraft project is successful, it will be the credit of the four companies. If it fails, Chunfeng Academy of Sciences will bear the responsibility, and the other three companies will at least receive a fixed "dividend" every year.
This kind of clause can be said to be humiliating, but Yao Yuan agreed without hesitation.
