Private enterprises and private research institutions are allowed to develop large aircraft. Such opportunities will only come about in the 1990s. A factory in Hanzhong Province that produces special vehicles seized this opportunity and obtained relevant qualifications. The special military vehicles developed later were exported to many countries.
nation.
In fact, throughout the 1990s, many private companies obtained qualifications to develop military equipment. However, during the period of domestic military spending austerity, failure to open foreign markets meant death. Many companies could not survive after 2003, and only a few remained.
The one in Baoji.
Chunfeng Academy of Sciences not only obtained the qualification to develop large aircraft, but also received support from Changfei Factory, Chang'an Aviation Engine Factory and 63 Research Institute. Such good things can't be found even with a lantern. Why would Yao Yuan care about that little money.
After Zhan Chenggui came over, Yao Yuan personally signed a formal cooperation agreement with Changfei Factory, Chang'an Aviation Engine Factory, and 63 Research Institute on behalf of the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences, which also represented the establishment of China Chunfeng Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd.
The total shares held by Changfei Factory, Changan Aviation Engine Factory, and 63 are less than 10%. They think it is symbolic, but if calculated according to the future Chinese civil aviation passenger aircraft market, this share is a lot of money.
After signing the contract, Chunfeng Academy of Sciences immediately carried out technical integration with the three companies, sorted out all the technical information about the large aircraft, made a copy and shipped it to the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences. After Tang Yunhong completed the formation of the team, she set off for the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences and the large aircraft.
The project has since been launched.
As soon as the matter here ended, Director Tang called and said that he hoped to hold a meeting immediately to conduct another negotiation on Air China's installment purchase of aircraft.
This time, Air China has lowered its stance.
After the last negotiation, Director Tang called Liang Feng and Wang Wen over and asked straight to the point, "Mr. Liang, why do you have to let Huayin Aviation Leasing Company sign a liability exemption agreement to exempt you from Air China's liability?"
Liang Feng was embarrassed and helpless, "After all, the plane changed hands. There is no other way."
"If there is a problem, does the exemption agreement work? It's your responsibility. With these pieces of paper, you don't have to take responsibility?" Director Tang said rudely.
Liang Feng was speechless.
Wang Wen said, "Director Tang, we mainly consider it from the perspective of safety."
"I think what Huayin Aviation Leasing said is right. If there is a problem with the aircraft, it is the manufacturer's business. Don't tell me about the special plane. You know the procedures for converting a civil aviation passenger aircraft into a special plane. This exemption agreement and the special plane
It’s irrelevant.”
Director Tang was very rude, "Do you think that people don't know what's going on and force them to sign some kind of liability exemption agreement so that if something happens in the future, they can clean themselves up?"
Liang Feng said with a wry smile, "There have been several aviation accidents in recent years. We have no choice but to be cautious, Director Tang."
Director Tang looked at Liang Feng, feeling helpless and angry. He held back his anger and said, "I spent a lot of effort to invite Mr. Yao. Do you think he is willing to do this for you? Go and ask, Xin
United Airlines, New Beihang, Super Airlines headquartered in Switzerland, plus Huayin Aviation Leasing Company in Hong Kong, they have more aircraft than our five major airlines combined."
"So many airlines are eager to expand their fleets. Why should they help you? They also promised to deliver three Boeing-747-400s within a year. You are the one who asks for help, and you have to ask for help.
He really ignores you, what can you do to him?"
Director Tang resented the indifference and said, "Don't always act like the boss of your state-owned enterprises and act like the boss of the state-owned enterprises. Now the state-owned enterprises cannot dominate the world."
Liang Feng's face turned red after being scolded. He was about the same age as Director Tang, a high-ranking department-level cadre and deputy general manager.
Director Tang doesn't care what he thinks in his heart, he just wants to get this matter done.
"Don't sign the liability exemption agreement. Just go through whatever process is required. They are an international company and the procedures are much more formal than ours. I went out of my way to call Mr. Yao and ask for another negotiation. Don't take it for granted.
Things got messed up."
Director Tang said, "I really don't know what you think about having such a good opportunity to get an airplane for such a small amount of money, but you still ask for this and that out of the blue."
…
Against this background, Director Tang contacted Yao Yuan to request another negotiation meeting. Director Tang used the word "request".
Of course Yao Yuan would not refuse. Gao Jian, Pan Jie, and Li Chaohong were waiting without leaving Chang'an.
So Yao Yuan and others once again sat at the negotiation table with Air China, but this time the negotiations were held at the Chang'an Hotel instead of the Northwest Airlines headquarters building.
This also shows Yao Yuan's attitude.
As soon as the negotiation began, Liang Feng said, "Mr. Yao, we gave up the exemption agreement because we did not consider it thoroughly enough. All other conditions can be implemented as previously agreed."
When Yao Yuan heard this, he smiled and said, "In that case, let's talk about it and I won't ask."
The fundamental problem has been solved, and the remaining details are negotiated by Li Chaohong and others.
Liang Feng was very surprised and watched Yao Yuan get up and leave, followed by the beautiful female secretary and a fat man.
"Mr. Liang, let's talk about the details." Li Chaohong said, "Our boss doesn't care about the specific matters."
Huayin Aviation Leasing Company is the main partner, so Li Chaohong is the main negotiator.
Upon seeing this, Director Tang said hello and followed.
It won't do much good if he stays.
"Xiao Yao."
Director Tang jogged a few steps to catch up.
Because of Xia Honghua's relationship, Director Tang also called Xiao Yao to appear friendly.
"Director Tang." Yao Yuan stopped and motioned for the others to leave first, but Lin Wei stayed.
Seeing Director Tang's hesitation, Yao Yuan said, "Lin Wei manages the money for me. He is not an outsider. If Director Tang has any instructions, just give them."
"Don't say that, I'm not a big leader." Director Tang said with a smile.
If the director of the general office at the department or bureau level is not a big leader, then the scope of the big leadership is quite narrow.
Director Tang and Lin Wei walked downstairs and strolled in the garden before saying, "There is indeed something I want to ask you for help with."
"You said."
Director Tang looked at Lin Wei and said with some embarrassment, "I want to exchange a lot of foreign exchange. You have a company abroad and I would like your help to see if you can do it. I will give you Huaxia currency here. You can
Give me foreign currency abroad.”
Yao Yuan was stunned for a few seconds.
Director Tang suddenly thought of something, waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, it's not my money, it's the public's money."
That's no problem.
Yao Yuan asked, "How much?"
Director Tang said, "It will cost more than one million U.S. dollars, which is quite a lot."
But not much.
However, for most people, this is a huge amount of foreign exchange.
Yao Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Director Tang, can I ask what this money is used for?"
"The foreign exchange allocated for this year's overseas inspections, overseas training, etc. is too limited. We can only find ways to solve part of it ourselves." Director Tang said helplessly.
In the 1990s, China's foreign exchanges increased, including various overseas inspections, overseas training and so on. The Civil Aviation Administration of China wanted to integrate with the international standards and learn from advanced foreign experience. Of course, inspections and training were also indispensable. They were not short of money, and they had great cooperation with foreign companies.
Communication will only become more frequent.
Yao Yuan nodded and said, "It's not much. When do you want it?"
"The sooner the better, the exchange rate will be the highest. Xiao Yao, you have helped me a lot. I have been very worried about currency exchange during this period. Oh, by the way, the Civil Aviation Administration of China will organize major airlines
"We are going to the United States for inspection and exchange. New United Airlines and New Beihang Airlines should also participate. I will send a message to these two companies when we get back." Director Tang reciprocated the favor.
It's hard to refuse this, otherwise the Civil Aviation Administration of China will think you are disobedient to management.
Yao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Forget it about New United Airlines. After all, they are different. Going abroad is more sensitive. We will convey the advanced experience to New United Airlines after the inspection team learns it."
Director Tang thought for a while and nodded, "That's right. The military is behind New United Airlines after all. Okay, that's it. You... how about you send three people from New Beihang?"
Studying abroad is a good thing, but it has gradually become the consensus of many units to regard studying abroad as a benefit.
Director Tang gave New Beihang three quotas, which must be too much, otherwise he would not have said it so solemnly. In addition to the five major airlines, the Civil Aviation Administration of China also has so many subordinate units. It would be good if one unit can be allocated one or two quotas.
.
After all, New Beihang is a private enterprise.
At this time, Lin Wei, who had a tacit understanding, smiled and said, "Director Tang, I think otherwise, we will be responsible for our own expenses. We can send more people to participate. What do you think?"
What kind of bullshit advanced experience, no matter how advanced it is, can it be as advanced as Yao Yuan's formula?
Just think of it as a benefit for traveling abroad.
Director Tang was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "New Beihang is rich and powerful."
"New Beihang is a private airline after all, so I'm afraid someone might gossip." Yao Yuan explained.
Director Tang thought for a while and said, "Xiao Yao, in this case, you'd better send people to join the inspection group. The inspection group is not a tourist group. They really want to learn something this time. The General Administration thought that the deputy director would lead the team. In addition, you
You can organize an inspection group yourself, and we will contact you if you need our help. What do you think?"
"Okay, it couldn't be better." Of course Yao Yuan welcomed it with both hands.
He is still thinking about how to stimulate the enthusiasm of New Beihang employees, especially the flight crew. They fly everywhere and are not very interested in domestic travel, but it is different when traveling abroad.
Simply treat it as a long-term employee benefit, like Southern Industrial, which allows employees with outstanding performance to travel with pay.
