Start with the aviation industry

Chapter 473 The explosion before the first flight
Such a good aircraft, how can a mere 12 be enough?
They are also considered to be the top three civil aviation companies in China, and they must order another batch. I heard that Leihuo Technology Industry Group has already ordered more than 300 aerospace aircraft. If the order is placed a few months later, the waiting time in line will be long longer.

"Mr. Lin, you are really amazing, such an excellent aircraft was actually developed."

Lin Feng smiled proudly, "This is our first prototype. In about a month, that is, around late September, our second prototype will also roll off the production line."

Everyone saw that prototype just now.

Its final assembly process is nearly halfway through, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, and it will be off the assembly line in late September.

According to the plan, a total of 4 prototypes will be manufactured, and then a series of verification and test flights will be carried out. We will strive to complete all the verification and test projects in about five or six months, and enter mass production in the first half of next year.

This is a civil aviation airliner, and there are many verification and flight test items, which are relatively strict, so it will take about five or six months, otherwise, two or three months will be enough.

"Mr. Lin, our aerospace plane will enter mass production next year."

Lin Feng said with full information, "The first half of next year will definitely enter mass production, and then there will be two production lines, and about 18 to 20 machines will roll off the assembly line every month."

This output is quite gratifying.

But compared to the order of more than 300 planes, the production capacity is still slightly insufficient. Lin Feng and the executives of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group have thought more than once that maybe they need to add more production lines in the future.

Li Xueming also quickly calculated in his mind, based on 20 planes per month, that would be 240 planes a year, and more than 300 planes would take at least a year and a half.

After doing this calculation, I felt a little anxious.

Without further ado, another order needs to be placed as soon as possible.

"Mr. Lin, our aerospace plane is really good. I am very satisfied. I would like to order a few more."

Take the initiative to order, definitely welcome!

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Okay, no problem, then let's sit down and have a good chat about the order."

In the office building of Second Aircraft Manufacturing, Liang Guangwei prepared the best reception room, where everyone sat on the sofa, drinking tea and discussing order matters.

Li Xueming ordered 12 passenger planes, each worth 4.5 million yuan, and 6 cargo planes, each priced at 4.2 million yuan.

Such a price is a little cheaper than the international price, which can be regarded as Leihuo Technology Industry Group’s care for domestic civil aviation companies. If the international price is used, the price of the passenger type is 6500 million US dollars, and the cargo type is 6200 million US dollars.

In this way, Li Xueming and the others became the largest domestic customer of aerospace aircraft, ordering a total of 24 passenger-type and 6 cargo-type.

sign a contract.

Li Xueming shook hands with Lin Feng tightly, "Mr. Lin, thank you. With these aerospace planes, our company's strength will obviously rise to a big level."

Lin Feng said, "If you still need it in the future, just come to us again."

This is another order before the first flight of the aerospace plane. As a result, Leihuo Technology and Industry Group has added more than a dozen orders for aerospace planes, reaching a scale of 339 planes.

After Li Xueming and others left happily, Liang Guangwei reminded, "Boss, it seems that the production lines for two aerospace planes are obviously not enough!"

The Second Aircraft Manufacturing Company has a total of two assembly plants, and the No. 1 assembly plant was put into use a few months ago. There are two production lines in the plant, one for aerospace aircraft and one for "Global Hawk" drones.

The No. 2 assembly plant is still under construction. It is almost exactly the same as the No. 1 plant. It was built according to the same design drawing. At present, the plant has been capped and the installation of the internal facilities of the plant has begun. In the future, there will be three production lines and one for aerospace production. , two production lines of 'Flying Dragon' fighters.

Lin Feng said slowly, "The production of two aerospace planes is really not enough!"

With a full budget, each production line will assemble 10 aerospace aircraft per month, and the two production lines will produce 20 aircraft per month. 240 aircraft a year may seem like a lot, but the current order has already exceeded 300 aircraft. With the first flight of Aerospace, Orders will definitely usher in another explosive increase.

The relevant departments of Leihuo Technology Industry Group have conducted analysis and research. In the next ten years, the number of space planes in the world will reach about [-], which means that an average of [-] aircraft will be produced every year.

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng said, "Then build another assembly plant, and add two more production lines for aerospace aircraft in the future."

Hearing this, Liang Guangwei was pleasantly surprised.

In this way, his second aircraft manufacturing company will have three final assembly plants, each with an area of ​​3 to [-] square meters, which is extremely huge. The production capacity and scale of the entire second aircraft manufacturing company will surpass that of the first aircraft manufacturing company.

It is not difficult to build another factory building.

There is no shortage of funds. Leihuo Technology Industrial Group has sufficient funds, and there is no difficulty in technology. Even the design drawings are ready-made, and then the construction of the No. 1 and No. 2 assembly plants will be fine.

There is also no shortage of industrial land. Hundreds of acres of industrial land have been reserved. After the completion of No. 2 plant, there are still two to three hundred acres of land left, which is more than enough to build a total of [-] to [-] square meters of assembly plants.

The time for the first flight of the aerospace plane has been set, August 1997, 8.

Some newspapers and TV stations began to report on this incident, and it was also announced on the official website of Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

On the "China Aviation News", the headlines on the front page were announced with pictures and texts, and an invitation letter was published, inviting aviation enthusiasts and people who like aerospace planes to go. No tickets are required, as long as you register with your ID card, you can enter the venue Watch the first flight.

This makes many people eager to try.

Phoenix factory.

In the process technology room of workshop 406, several process technicians were reading today's "China Airlines" newspaper. Seeing the content published on the front page, each of them seemed to be on a stimulant.

"That's great, you can enter the venue to watch the first flight of the aerospace plane with your ID card!"

"This must be an eye-opener in the past!"

"The day after tomorrow happens to be Sunday, so there is no need to ask for leave."

"Yes, it's only two or three hours by train. After watching the first flight, I will take the train back in the afternoon. It will not delay my work on Monday at all."

"."

Many decided to take a look at the first flight of this aerospace plane, not only the 406 workshop, but also other workshops, departments, etc. Many people expressed that they wanted to go and have a look.

The situation was quickly reported to Wang Tianfang.

Of course he knew that the aerospace plane would make its first flight on August 8, and even Lin Feng personally called him and invited him to take a look.

He immediately said that he would definitely go over, not only him, but all the senior management of the Phoenix Factory would go over to support him.

Lin Feng expressed his gratitude and said that the more people who came over, the better.

Now, his secretary is reporting to him, "Boss, at least hundreds of people from our factory are going to visit the first flight of the aerospace plane, but they are basically spontaneous."

There are so many people, hundreds of them!

In a little astonishment, Wang Tianfang ordered, "You go and count the number of people, and then arrange it in a unified way. All companies who want to watch the first flight will arrange buses in a unified way."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

The news quickly spread throughout the factory. It was heard that the company organized in a unified way and arranged buses. There were even more employees who wanted to go to watch the first flight. There were more than 800 people. The Phoenix factory also prepared nearly two Ten buses.

Two days later, the aerospace plane will make its first flight.

The news had already spread throughout the aviation industry around the world, and many people received invitations and started to go to Wujiang City.Not only people from the domestic aviation industry, but also many people from abroad dare to come here.

This is the first flight of the Leihuo Technology Industrial Group's aerospace plane, so you have to hurry over and hug your thighs.

There is no airport in Wujiang City, so a large number of foreigners can only go to the provincial capital airport first, and then choose to take a train or a chartered car to Wujiang City.

The taxi drivers at the provincial capital airport were stunned. Since August 8, there have been many old outsourced cars going to Wujiang City, and even more on August 22.

No, a large number of foreigners came out of the airport, ranging from three to five people, and as many as one to 20 people. They spoke blunt Mandarin and said they were going to Wujiang City.

Some foreigners can't speak Mandarin, but only speak English.

There were three foreigners who were obviously together, but none of them could speak Mandarin. They were talking with a middle-aged brother in English, looking very anxious, and the brother couldn't understand after talking for a long time.

Fortunately, there was a young brother who was smart and said loudly, "Wujiang City, you are going to Wujiang City."

He repeatedly said the place name 'Wujiang City'.

Whether it is Mandarin or English, the pronunciation of place names is relatively similar. Foreigners nodded after hearing "Wujiang City".

The young man said loudly: "five hundred."

As he spoke, he stretched out five fingers.

"OK, five hundred." The foreigners replied happily, and then they were ready to get in the car, haggling at all.

The young man immediately opened the car door and helped them with their luggage, and the taxi left quickly. The middle-aged man just now looked confused and missed a big deal.

A trip to Wujiang City is a little over 150 kilometers, and the whole journey is high-speed. It takes one and a half hours to arrive. Usually, only 90 yuan is enough.

A colleague next to him reminded, "The foreigners who came out of the airport in the past two days basically went to Wujiang City. It doesn't matter if we don't know English. Just remember 'Wujiang City' and 'five hundred'."

Only then did the middle-aged brother come to his senses, and he silently repeated the word 'five hundred' several times in his heart.

If you go to Wujiang City, the guys at the airport usually charge 500 yuan. It’s not that they don’t dare to ask for a higher price, but the higher-ups have sent people here to inspect, because there are many foreigners going to Wujiang City, so they can’t be scammed. .

The news quickly spread among my buddies that many taxis were waiting for customers here, especially for foreigners who came out of the airport to go to Wujiang City.

Wujiang City.

Sun Dangli was so busy that he never expected that the first flight of Leihuo Technology Industry Group's aerospace plane would have such a big sensation and so many people would come to watch it.

Wujiang City is not big in the first place, with a population of only 80 to [-] in the urban area. It can only be regarded as a fourth-tier city in China, and there are not many hotels, guesthouses, and guest houses.

With so many people coming, it will be a great test of Wujiang City's reception capacity.

"Boss, all the hotels and guesthouses in the city are full, and there are still a steady stream of people rushing here."

Sun Dangli said, "What about our two new big hotels?"

These two newly built hotels are of the highest grade and specification in Wujiang City, and one of them is the first five-star wine hotel in Wujiang City, which is located in the best location in the city center.The other one is not bad, it is a four-star hotel.

This is also Lin Feng's suggestion.

As early as when Leihuo Technology Industry Group was preparing to build a factory in Wujiang City, Lin Feng had reminded him that he proposed to build more hotels in Wujiang City. At the beginning, Sun Dangli didn't think so, thinking in his heart, Wujiang City is such a fourth-tier city Why do you need so many hotels?

Seeing that Sun Dangli didn't take it seriously, Lin Feng reminded him again that Wujiang City only started to take action. So far, the two hotels have not been put into use.

A week ago, Lin Feng made a special call to inquire about the reception capacity of Wujiang City. He was a little annoyed when he heard that the two hotels could not be put into use yet, so his tone was much stricter.

Seeing that Mr. Lin was seriously dissatisfied, Sun Dangli called a special meeting to speed up the progress and asked the two hotels to be put into use before the first flight of the aerospace plane.

His secretary reported cautiously, "Boss, I have already inquired, and the two hotels will not open for business in a few days."

Sun Dangli said, "I don't care, give them another half a day, they must open for business, and receive guests who come to our Wujiang City to visit the first flight."

"Okay, I'll go to the hotel myself."

After watching his secretary leave, Sun Dangli took a paper towel and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking with lingering fears, Mr. Lin was wise enough to not put the air show in our Wujiang City.

A first flight puts Wujiang City's reception under such a huge pressure. If it is a worldwide air show, the situation can be imagined.

More and more people arrived in Wujiang City. In addition to the knowledge of the domestic aviation industry, there are also people from major airlines. The most are foreigners. There are not five thousand, but at least three or four thousand Still increasing.

Many people in Wujiang City have never seen foreigners in their entire lives. They were shocked to find that overnight, foreigners were everywhere around them, men and women, young and old, black and white.

In the streets and alleys of Wujiang City, all kinds of foreigners can be seen everywhere. They are in groups of three or five, and some of them speak blunt Mandarin and are full of curiosity about everything here.

Some foreigners will even squat in front of the street stalls, looking at the things on the street stalls with great interest, and will take out a soft girl coin of ten yuan or even 50 yuan when they see something they are interested in. Maybe this thing is worth one or two dollars. dollars.

The whole Wujiang City was completely bustling. It had never been so lively during the Chinese New Year, especially the shop owners who were laughing from ear to ear.

The hotels, guesthouses, and guest houses were full, and some foreigners who had just arrived in Wujiang City found that there was no room to live in at all.

Fortunately, Wujiang City took action, and almost everyone in the government department took action to act as guides for these foreigners, receive them, and guide them to find hotels to stay in, etc.

Finally, the two newly built big hotels opened for business, which relieved the huge reception pressure.

Compared with Wujiang City, which is busy and exhausted, Leihuo Technology Industry Group is much better, and the work of the aerospace plane's first flight is proceeding in an orderly manner.

in the office.

He Hua personally reported to Lin Feng in detail.

"Boss, all our work is ready, we just wait for tomorrow's first flight, and even the press conference after the first flight is ready."

He gave a detailed report, and then said, "The pressure in Wujiang City is estimated to be very high. According to our information, more than 5000 foreign guests came to participate in the first flight of the aerospace plane, plus domestic guests. More than 1 people will visit the first flight tomorrow!"

One first flight, tens of thousands of visitors!
This is unprecedented in the entire history of the aviation industry!
Lin Feng wanted this effect, and he was very proud of it!

The more grand the first flight, the greater the influence, and the greater the publicity effect on the aerospace aircraft. There is no doubt that after the first flight, orders for the aerospace aircraft will usher in explosive growth.

After listening to the report, Lin Feng waved his hand, "Tomorrow morning, everyone will take my business jet to go there."

"Okay, I will inform everyone." He Hua replied.

For such a big event, the top executives of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group will definitely go through it together, and there are also some backbone middle-level managers.

It is more convenient to take this Gulfstream business jet, and you can directly arrive at the Second Aircraft Manufacturing Company in less than an hour.

The next day.

This private plane left Deep Sea City and flew directly to the airport of the Second Aircraft Manufacturing Company. Some middle-level people took this plane for the first time.

"Boss, it is indeed the world's top business jet. It is really comfortable to ride and the flight is very smooth."

Lin Feng said, "After our aerospace plane enters mass production, I won't look down on this plane. At that time, this plane will be regarded as the company's business jet, not my personal private jet. In the future, everyone will have the opportunity to take it. it."

With the aerospace plane, this plane will definitely not be good.

Lin Feng has already thought about it. At that time, he will use an aerospace plane as a blueprint to design and manufacture a private jet for himself. The level of luxury and comfort will be higher than this plane. The key is to fly fast and smoothly.

For example, if you also fly from Shenhai City to Wujiang City, ten minutes is probably enough.

The plane was traveling at a speed of more than 800 kilometers per hour. After flying for about an hour, it arrived in Wujiang City and began to slow down and lower its altitude. It was about to land at the airport of the Second Aircraft Manufacturing Company.

After a while, the airport could already be seen through the porthole glass, and even the aerospace plane that was parked on the airport ready to take off for the first time could be seen.

Five thousand words today, thank you for your support!
