Take Off My Aviation Era

Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.

Alondo knelt in front of the Buddha statue in the office, finished today's prayer, stood up, then made a cup of tea with hot water, came to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the beautiful Bangkok street view in the morning, and felt particularly comfortable, just like he just now As prayed in front of the Buddha statue, the Royal Thai Aerospace Industry Corporation under his control will surely become the overlord of the aviation industry in Southeast Asia and even the entire Asia, just like the booming Thai economy today.

In less than 10 years, Thailand will realize a comprehensive industrial upgrade with the Royal Thai Aerospace Industries Corporation, Thailand Chiang Mai Semiconductor, and Thailand Urban Construction Investment Group as the core, and then become a high-end manufacturing country similar to Japan.

Alondo couldn't even think of all this three years ago. After all, although the Thai aviation manufacturing industry was in Thailand, the technology, equipment, models and even the shares were almost all from China's Ascendas Group.

To put it bluntly, the Thai aviation manufacturing industry at the time was an overseas extension plant of the Ascendas Group. It doesn't matter what it builds or not, how it builds itself.

Originally, this state will continue for five to ten years. After all, the aviation manufacturing industry wants to have a thorough play, and it will not work without a certain amount of accumulation.

Thailand is also ready for long-term cooperation with Ascendas Group.

However, no one expected that an international geopolitical turmoil in the late 1980s and early 1990s would spread to China and even affect the Ascendas Group.

As a result, the TM-9 business jet "co-developed" launched by Ascendas Group and Thailand was blocked by the European and American airworthiness certificate due to various reasons, and was unable to enter the mainstream international market.

As a result, Thailand’s preferential tax deduction policy for buying airplanes immediately became a tasteless one. Not only did it not work, but it received a large number of returns and suffered a lot of losses.

Although Thailand has a cooperative relationship with Ascendas Group, the so-called brothers still have to settle accounts. The agency produces your products at a loss. Naturally, you have to find out the manufacturer.

So Alondo had been involved in this matter with Zhuang Jianye for more than two years. In the end, Alondo threatened to withdraw from the cooperation between the two sides' trainers and forced Zhuang Jianye to compromise.

However, the Ascendas Group at that time was in an internal and external dilemma. The funds in hand were limited, and it was unable to repurchase the returned TM-9. In the end, it could only use the shares held as a deduction, and more than 60 TM- The Type 9 aircraft was recovered.

Of course, Ascendas Group did not waste these aircraft. Airborne communications command aircraft, air gunboats, and short-range transportation of airborne troops; communications relay and air command of air force aviation units; small airborne early warning aircraft, air patrol aircraft, and small anti-submarine aircraft of the Navy. They were all modified from the sixty TM-9 aircraft returned.

Lin Lin has digested more than thirty frames in total.

A part of the rest was transferred to the forestry, address, water conservancy, and prospecting departments as a dedicated technology platform, and the remaining more than 20 aircraft were all handed over to the general aviation company of Ascendas Group as a short-haul passenger and cargo transportation platform.

After Ning Xiaodong took out most of his family assets and established the airline, Zhuang Jianye separated out more than half of the TM-9 aircraft operated by the group and leased it to Ning Xiaodong’s newly established Ming. Eastern Airlines operates.

All in all, even though he lost a lot of money, he still used the returned TM-9 aircraft.

However, compared with Zhuang Jianye’s shrinking domestic power, the accumulated strength is different. Alondo, who successfully forced the Ascendas Group and the Thai government behind it, are naturally not satisfied with the Ascendas Group’s concession. They must achieve complete control and produce products that belong to Thais. For real airplanes, even if they are temporarily impossible, they must ensure their independence and be independently produced through project introduction or patent licenses.

It's not as good as when the factory was first built, there must be a Taishang called the Tengfei Group.

So with the acquiescence of the Thai government, Alondo began to reorganize the company, from the original Royal Thai Aerospace Industry Corporation to the Royal Thai Aerospace Industries Corporation. At the same time, it carried out large-scale financing, and successively introduced the Royal Thai Fund and Thai Urban Construction. Investment companies, Malaysian government funds, Singapore Temasek, Brunei Energy Fund and other Southeast Asian investment giants injected capital.

The original shares were so widely diluted that after several rounds of financing of Ascendas Group, only 11.8% of the shares remained.

However, Alondo did not stop, and then continued to directional evaporation, and then listed in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia at the same time, the shares of Ascendas Group were further diluted to 6.7%.

As a result, even the top ten shareholders are not ranked, and they have become insignificant ordinary investors.

And Alondo not only firmly controlled the control of Royal Thai Aerospace Industries, but also became the cornerstone of Thailand's economic transformation in the future.

With control rights, Royal Thai Aerospace Industries, which has preliminary aviation manufacturing capabilities, naturally has to work hard for the economic transformation formulated by the Thai government. Therefore, it must have products that can be used to improve Thailand’s international image and combat the region. Indonesia's largest competitor, Indonesia Aerospace Industry Group.

The second is to raise high profits through new products in order to accumulate capital for the economic transformation of the Thai government.

Based on the failure experience of the TM-9 aircraft, Alondo's absolute general-purpose aircraft is a bit unreliable. Even if it is built, it will not reflect the strength of Royal Thai Aerospace Industries.

After all, well-known general-purpose aircraft are too low.

Fighters are eye-catching and have higher profit margins. The problem is that Royal Thai Aerospace Industries has no ability to build them. So after thinking about it, Alondo finally set the target at the low-key but not the trainer. Simple model.

Of course, if it hadn't had the experience of cooperating with Ascendas Group to improve the "fan coach" trainer, Alondo, a layman, would not have realized that this type of aircraft has such great potential.

Yes, it's not a normal big ~www.readwn.com~ but very huge, how big is it?

In the future, there will be a gap of 3,000 to 5,000 trainers of various types worldwide.

No way, most of the trainers in the world today are old models from the 1950s and 1960s. The others are the two giants of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union.

The main trainer in the United States is the T-38. It served in the late 1950s, and it's 40 years old.

The main trainer of the Soviet Union is the Czech L-2939 series, which was also put into use in the 1950s and is also the classic model of the Pentium IV.

Even the United States and the Soviet Union are like this, and other countries are even more unbearable. If the air forces of various countries have kept the existing main aircraft types unchanged, the old aircraft will be the old aircraft, and repairs can be made.

However, as people saw the huge potential and advantages of the third-generation aircraft in future wars in the Gulf War, many economically established countries began to eagerly prepare to introduce a batch of third-generation aircraft as the backbone of the air force. Under such demand, the training of pilots And training is bound to keep up with the pulse of the times, so the trainer that can be used for training and teaching third-generation fighters must be ready anyway.
