Chapter 1169 It's mediocre, but it's really cheap

"Hippo Country is planning to purchase a batch of helicopters from us to develop tourism?" Mr. Feng was also a little surprised when he received a call from Zhang Qihang, but after thinking about it, he also found it understandable: "Hippo Country's tourism resources Yes, the African prairie, but the infrastructure of road transportation can’t keep up, and everything is useless. If you use a helicopter, it’s a good way to avoid the existing defects, but in the case of Hippopotamus, they can take it. Is it such a large sum of money?"

Zhang Qihang said: "The money is definitely not available. According to the relevant person in charge of the Hippo Country, we are not planning to invest in a mine or build a local factory. We can deduct the mine contract fee or the tax paid by the factory. "

Mr. Feng nodded: "If that's the case, then you can consider it, but the point is, how do you think about it, Mr. Zhang?"

"I think I can try it. The proposal from the Hippo country gave me some inspiration," Zhang Qihang said: "The whole of Africa, like the Hippo country, has good tourism resources, but due to the limited infrastructure, there is no way to fully utilize these resources. There are indeed quite a few countries that have used it, and if we use Hippo Country as a sample for other similar countries in Africa, it should be helpful for our helicopter sales.”

"That's really the way of thinking," Mr. Feng's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "Then I will ask Comrade Jiwen to airlift two sets of spare parts for you, and then arrange for the corresponding technicians and pilots to cooperate with you?"

"Alright," Zhang Qihang nodded immediately, "I'll talk to the officials in the Hippo country and ask them to say hello to the customs."

Mr. Feng made a decisive decision: "Okay, let's do it like this! I'll arrange it right away!"

Whether it is a two-seater type or a four-seater type, Huateng Industrial Group has spare parts here, and even packs them, just pull them out of the warehouse. The only limitation is customs clearance. With the influence of the province, how could this kind of thing not go well?
As a result, in just four days, two helicopters in parts and components arrived in Dar es Salaam, the capital of Hippopotamus, and the two technical teams of Huateng Industrial Group, which had arrived a day earlier, only took In just one day, the assembly and ground testing of the aircraft were completed. Let me say one more thing here. The difficulty of assembling an ultralight helicopter is really not as high as everyone imagined. In the field of sports aviation equipment and some manufacturers of ultralight helicopters , Simply provide users with a complete set of spare parts and let users assemble them at home. The more famous and representative one is the "mosquito" ultralight helicopter.

Therefore, when Joseph Calum stood beside Zhang Qihang and looked at the two helicopters in front of him, he still couldn't believe it: in such a short period of time, the Chinese sent these two helicopters to a distance from them. The hippo country thousands of miles away?
Even though Joseph Karum had dealt with many Chinese people before, at this moment, he was still shocked by the mobilization ability and speed. He looked at the two-seater helicopter on the left, and then at the four-seater helicopter on the right. , and finally couldn't help but asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, how did you do it?"

I only proposed to Zhang Qihang to introduce helicopters four days ago, and four days later, Zhang Qihang placed their helicopters in front of him. This speed exceeded Joseph Karum's imagination, and he couldn't imagine it at all. How did Zhang Qihang transport the two helicopters to Hippo Country in such a short period of time.

Zhang Qihang understood what Joseph Karum meant, he smiled and said, "The point is not how we did it, but that we must do it, otherwise how would we win in the fierce competition?"

Joseph Karum nodded, he understood a little bit, he said excitedly: "The plane still needs to be adjusted? When will it be able to fly?"

"It's almost two or three days," Zhang Qihang said, "This helicopter is very simple, and the main components are shipped in the form of an assembly. It is similar to building blocks in essence. After assembly, do two test flights to see Does it need to be adjusted... In fact, it basically does not need to be adjusted."

"So simple?"

Joseph Calum's eyes widened. In his concept, anything that can fly is very complicated.

Zhang Qihang smiled and said: "Simplicity is relative. It is because we have considered the work and the needs of users and done the corresponding work that users will find it simple... Just like a TV, you sit on it You only need to press the remote control on the sofa to operate it, which seems very simple, but can you say that the TV is very simple?"

Joseph Karum nodded again and again with a dazed expression: "Understood, so that's what happened."

Just now, when he heard that Zhang Qihang said that the helicopter was so simple, Joseph Karum suddenly had a thought in his heart, "It seems that our hippopotamus country can do it too?" Using TV as an example to illustrate the technical content of their two helicopters, Joseph Karum realized how ridiculous his thoughts just now were: Mr. Zhang Qihang is right, simplicity is only relative, and he looks like It's very simple, because people have already put the work in front of them.

Zhang Qihang went on to say: "For the flight demonstration event in two or three days, in order to let friends in the Hippo Country have a full understanding of the performance of our aircraft, I plan to rent two Robinson R22 and R44..."

Before Zhang Qihang finished speaking, Joseph Karum said in surprise: "Mr. Zhang, are you going to do a comparative flight test with us?"

"It's not a test, it's a demonstration," Zhang Qihang corrected Joseph Karum's words: "In terms of performance, the Robinson R22 and R44 are already the best of their kind. I just want to tell you through this flight that our helicopters In terms of overall performance, it is not weaker than similar models of Robinson, but it has a huge advantage over them in terms of price... Some people may think that I am bragging, but it does not matter, and everyone will know when they see it for themselves.”

Seeing Zhang Qihang's confident expression, Joseph Karum nodded again and again: "If this is the case, then it would be great."

To be honest, even though Zhang Qihang said that the performance of their helicopters is not weaker than that of Robinson R22 and R44, Joseph Callum actually put a question mark in his heart: your aircraft is so much cheaper than that of the American Robinson company , how could it be comparable to their performance?

In this regard, Joseph Karum's idea is also very simple: let the Chinese people be bragging, but even if the flying speed of Huateng Motor's helicopter is slower and the range is shorter, as long as their plane can really take 2 / 4 people, there is a voyage of more than 400 kilometers, which is enough for the tourism industry of Hippo Country.

After all, for those who come to travel, it is not a big problem for the helicopter to fly slower, just take this opportunity to let them go sightseeing; the short range is not a big problem, and the range of 400 kilometers is enough, the point is Cheap!Cheap!Cheap!

But now, Zhang Qihang is confidently preparing to conduct a comparison test, which is somewhat beyond Joseph Karum's expectations, but Joseph Karum is more surprised: Is what Zhang Qihang said is true? ?These two helicopters of Huateng Group are really not weaker than Robinson R22 and R44 in terms of performance, and can they be so much cheaper at the same time?
Joseph Karum feels that if this is the case, then Hippopotamia may be ready to introduce the second batch—as long as it is confirmed in actual use that helicopters are of great help in promoting the development of Hippopotamus’ tourism industry, and at the same time Huateng Group's helicopters are really cheap and easy to use, so why not introduce the second batch?
....................................

In the past two days, the fact that the tourism department of the Hippo Country is interested in the helicopters of the Huateng Industrial Group has spread throughout the business delegation. Everyone is a little envious of the Huateng Group and Zhang Qihang: Our work has just begun. Teng Group already has a project in hand?

During breakfast, Mr. Zhang came over and joked with Zhang Qihang: "We who make home appliances just can't compare with you who make cars and airplanes. Okay, I heard that Hippo is going to order 50 airplanes for you, with a total amount of 2000 yuan. How many US dollars? How many refrigerators, color TVs, and air conditioners do we have to export to reach this amount.”

Knowing that Zhang is always joking with himself, Zhang Qihang joked with a smile: "Can it be the same? Let's not talk about whether our business can be successful. Even if it is, the next business will have to wait until the year of the monkey, but Zhang In general, your group’s TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners are sent to Africa one by one for many years; besides, we only produce one or two hundred, two or three hundred a year. How much is the output?
So, if you want to say envy, it has to be that we envy you. "

"This is what I said..." Mr. Zhang shook his head: "How much can we sell a TV and a refrigerator? How much is the profit? You are different. A helicopter can easily cost millions or even hundreds of dollars. Ten thousand RMB, how many appliances do we have to sell to be worth one of your helicopters?"

After a few jokes, Mr. Zhang curiously asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, I heard that you are going to do a public demonstration flight for the Hippo Country in two days?"

Mr. Zhang's question aroused Zhang Qihang's curiosity, and he asked back, "Mr. Zhang, are you also interested?"

Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "I'm going to join in the fun and see if there are any opportunities for cooperation or development."

"Then welcome, I don't dare to ask my ears, but I want what I want." Zhang Qihang smiled immediately: "Welcome Mr. Zhang and all friends to join us and guide our work."
