Chapter 165 [164] Dash8 Series
"But without patents, self-management without OEM processing, patent payment costs will increase, pricing will also rise, and profit margins will be small..."

"Boss, don't you want to secretly give birth?"

"Although we cooperate with the government and jointly hold shares; but with the current size and balanced development trend, the government will not offend those large conglomerates for us."

The so-called patents are not necessarily completely confidential and independent.

As long as cutting-edge technology is not involved, patents in the civil field are basically open and transparent.

The limit involved is only one of whether it can be produced legally.

Those who invented and created earlier registered patents, and those who followed would have to pay fees if they wanted to continue using the technology.

What David Liang is worried about is nothing more than stealthy production, the official's internal thunderstorm, and fines for balance.

Compared with the profit distribution of the Balanced Group, the orders produced by major groups in Mexico are more important.

For the sake of balance, offending a group of Fortune [-] companies is simply not worthwhile.

Zhou Li'an said: "Did I say that I want to secretly produce? The acquisition of a foundry, how they should operate, this is just an investment in the field of basic industries."

"In the early stage, I will provide order support. If it becomes bigger and stronger in the future, it can set up a research and development department and develop its own technology, so as to establish its own brand of 'Equilibrium'."

Of course, Zhou Li'an had to explain clearly, lest the three parties in the group would go back and forth and fail to reach a conclusion.

And when his words fell, everyone present understood.

It is nothing more than applying the domestic corporate routines of the year, starting from an OEM factory, accumulating the first pot of gold, and then considering breaking through technical barriers to complete independence.

Those who know how to do it will understand it when they hear it.

Including the official, they will also be happy to hear this suggestion. Equilibrium is both ambitious and will not go too far. Instead, it will grow bigger and stronger step by step, and eventually fill the technical gap for Mexico.

As long as things are done within the rules, everything is green.

Not to mention, he also provides order support and guarantees profits, why not do it?

The same reason.

Zhou Li'an drew a big cake.

Cajero and Juan are probably going to be moved to tears.

Mr. Zhou is really contributing to the development of Mexico, accumulating momentum for them, so as to truly accomplish that lofty goal.

Mr. Zhou Gaoyi! !

At this point, David Liang has nothing to say.

But if someone else boasted like that, he would be regarded as a liar immediately.

But Mr. Zhou insisted on one thing.

In mines and petroleum engineering, orders are given as soon as they are said to be given, and in pharmaceutical companies, the vaccine production line started to rotate as soon as it was completed.

Now that there is one more engine manufacturing company, that is the icing on the cake.

Moreover.

Equilibrium's largest shareholder is Zhou Li'an.

People's money, how people want to use how to use!
at the same time.

Barbara has already taken out the tablet from her bag, started to look up relevant information, and asked——

"Boss, what about the scope of engine manufacturing? Motor vehicles? Agricultural machinery? Generators?"

Compared with David Liang's excessive sense of autonomy.

Barbara is so sensible and distressing, mainly because she is used to the way of getting along with the big boss...

Can't think about it.

Because it is difficult to understand why a normal person would order more than 1 sets of self-statues that are 1:[-] replicas of themselves.

In Zhou Li'an's eyes, Barbara is his caring black leather padded jacket.

"The wider the range of technology, the better!"

The engine field is not only for automobiles, motorcycles, and marine engines, but also for harvesters, seeders, threshers, etc. in the agricultural field.

Then there are engineering applications such as generators and compressors.

There is another advantage to owning your own factory.

OEM "Equilibrium", and print a full Chinese purified version of "Equalization Special Instructions".

After hearing this, Barbara added: "If this is the case, a single engine manufacturer may not be able to meet the demand. If you really want to cover all technical fields, it is best to acquire multiple factories for aggregation."

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Zhou Li'an immediately made a decision, "Come out with an optimal plan as soon as possible, and I will see the result within two months."

A table of people can't laugh or cry.

There is a fixed cycle for company acquisitions, and pre-investigation still requires preparation time.

But they are also used to Zhou Li'an's swift and resolute behavior.

David Liang took a deep breath and said, "If the time is really tight, we can only find the official to mobilize. The technical level of the manufacturer may not be ideal. We may have to be the receiver, and then re-integrate resources and carry out small-scale technical upgrades. "

This is the advantage of having an official background, it is convenient to collect resources, and when the procedures are changed, the green light can be given all the way.

It doesn't matter to the receiver.

Right now there is nothing left, and the technical level of the required mechanical products does not need to be too high, as long as it can produce durable and anti-manufacturing tractors that emit black smoke.

There are no technical barriers to motor vehicle engines with small displacement.

A 100cc motorcycle engine is installed on the frame, and three wheels are mounted on it, and a tricycle for pulling goods and people is ready.

For an industrial-scale production line, the cost of a 100cc engine does not exceed 300 yuan.

For example, in domestic villages and towns fairs, a cool Horizon R Falcon with a 250cc displacement engine has a new price of 2888 yuan.

Township bosses make a fortune, transportation deductions a fortune, dealers make a fortune, and manufacturers want to make some money, and the cost is reduced to an outrageous level.

Then some motorcycle friends lamented that industrial waste hindered the development of motorcycles.

Closer to home.

It is impossible to invest too much money in a one-time purchase of an engine manufacturer in a balanced manner.

It is simply unrealistic to produce automobile engines immediately.

Not to mention radiating various application fields.

Then we can only start from the threshold, and use a bunch of small and medium-sized factories to piece together a comprehensive enterprise that can produce a variety of equipment.

Implement corresponding plans.

A table of people was dizzy with alcohol and the will of the big boss.

I feel that the big boss is unreliable, but I can't fault it.

Back to the hotel.

A typhoon named "Patricia" passed through, and the storm swept through, shaking the world.

The next day, noon.

There was a knock on the hotel door, and the person who came sensiblely avoided the big boss's morning exercise schedule.

Barbara is always efficient at her job.

The acquisition was never completed, of course, but she brought a custom proposal for the propeller plane.

"I consulted a professional, and the other party gave me two options."

"Bombardier dash8Q100, the shortest running distance is 800 meters, the cruising speed is 530 kilometers per hour, and the cruising length is 1800 kilometers; the empty weight is 10 tons, the maximum take-off weight is 16 tons, and it can carry 36 people. The minimum executive member: 1 person!"

"The price is $1200 million."

"The second one, the Piper M2, only needs 600 meters for the shortest run, and only 500 meters for the 15-meter obstacle course, which is the former's run distance."

"The cruise speed is 480 kilometers per hour, and the battery life is about 1800 kilometers; but the self-weight is only 1.5 tons, and the maximum take-off weight is 2.3 tons."

"The price is divided into two levels, 260 million knives and 400 million knives."

Both aircraft met the endurance requirements, the difference being size and payload.

The former wins with large models and stability.

When Zhou Li'an was learning to fly, he also heard the old coach mention...

Bombardier, the leader of business jets.

The noise impact of propeller aircraft is well known, but the noise reduction comfort of dash8 can reach the standard of jet aircraft, and the Q in its model is the abbreviation of quiet in English.

The latter is really cheap.

The short fuselage is 9 meters long, the weight is compressed to 1.5 tons, and the price is only one-fifth of the former.

And this is also a favorite of propeller aircraft enthusiasts. The small model is good for air operations, and can perform various extreme tumbling actions.

It's just that the range of the two aircrafts is not up to standard.

Zhou Li'an's H225 is a modified engineering machine for an offshore oil drilling platform in Jiehu, with a cruising range of more than 2000 kilometers.

However, the two propeller planes are less than 2000. The so-called 1800 kilometers is just the limit data. To be on the safe side, a safe landing distance of 200 kilometers should be reserved.

Of course, the flight speed of a helicopter cannot be compared with that of a fixed wing.

The H225 has a cruising range of 280 kilometers, which is easily double that of the above two.

At this time, Patricia also came out of the bedroom, she never cared about the eyes of others, she sat in Zhou Li'an's arms intimately, pointed at Bombardier and said: "This one is so ugly!"

Zhou Li'an nodded in agreement.

The aircraft with a body length of nearly 20 meters lacks the jet-like technological appearance, and the wings are replaced by propellers, which looks a bit strange.

In contrast, the Piper M600 has a short and compact body, giving people a very comfortable feeling, short and powerful.

Zhou Li'an pointed to the two prices and said, "Is there such a big difference between 260 million and 400 million?"

"The maximum take-off weight is only 2.3 tons, and the self-weight is 1.5 tons. The remaining 700 kilograms of load are all used to modify the interior, but the cost has to be increased by 140 million?"

You know, this is US dollars.

140 million knives is about 1000 million yuan.

Barbara looked innocent: "To be honest, boss, I don't really understand, because I contacted through the channel of Balanced Group, maybe they think we are rich and powerful."

"In fact, this optional item is not an interior modification, but a 'whole machine parachute'."

"I heard what they mean, it seems that a giant parachute can be installed on the plane to prevent danger, but does this technology really exist?"

As soon as the words came out.

Zhou Li'an gasped.

It is no wonder that the parachute of the whole machine is used for the recovery of return spacecraft in the aerospace field.

Later, it was put into the first aid application of small aircraft in the civilian field.

The value is naturally high.

After all, it is a safety mechanism to ensure the safe landing of 2 tons of heavy objects.

As for whether the price difference of up to 140 million is suitable, it varies from person to person.

Spending an extra 140 million can guarantee that the 260 million plane will not crash, and also take the lives of one person on the plane.

But in an emergency, whether it can be operated or not depends on personal ability.

Zhou Li'an thinks this thing is novel.

Really going to crash.

Hehehe, the system travels across time, just a matter of thought.

But it is this novelty that aircraft manufacturers are selling.

The air engine stalled, it was about to crash, and people were rescued by parachuting are big news, not to mention that the plane "landed with an umbrella", this matter can last a lifetime.

Again, the experience is unique.

Parachutes were originally developed for emergency safety, but now?It has become an extreme sport.

"I want it!"

Holding the beautiful jade in his arms, Zhou Li'an was in a good mood.

Barbara said: "Then the Piper M600, a high-end model with a complete parachute?"

Zhou Li'an laughed——

"Hahaha, no no no, I want them all!"

Hearing this, even Barbara, who was used to the boss's style, couldn't help gasping.

However, think about the Airbus helicopter that the boss went to Texas for maintenance...

$2700 million?
Oh, that's fine!

Of course, this is not the end.

Buying Bombardier dash8 is for load considerations, but the load requirements are not really used to transport heavy objects.

There is space in the system, what kind of load do you want.

Carrying capacity can be added to airframe reinforcement and large fuel tank modification.

This can increase the mileage.

At the same time, the engine components are upgraded to a certain extent. After all, high-mileage battery life is not just enough fuel, the key is whether the engine's endurance can be supported.

"Dash8, the battery life requirement has been raised to 4000 kilometers, let them come up with a modification plan and quotation."

"The M600 guarantees at least 2500 kilometers of battery life."

The 4000-kilometer direct flight is enough to fly directly from Newfoundland, Canada to Ireland and the United Kingdom.

As for the M600, the take-off distance of 500 meters is a great highlight. The advantage of the propeller aircraft is that it can take off and land in wild terrain.

As for the so-called 15-meter obstacle clearance distance of 750 meters, it means that the 750-meter take-off length can ensure that the body can climb a height of 15 meters and ensure that it will not collide with obstacles.

Barbara finished recording and got up to say goodbye.

the next few days.

He and Jonah and David Leung continue to finalize the acquisition plan for the establishment of a new company.

Not surprisingly, I also received a call from Cajero during the period.

For the establishment of an engine manufacturing company, Cajero expressed his support and informed the official of Zhou Li'an's "long-term development plan".

The officials are almost laughing.

Equilibrium Group focuses on basic industries and never plays in the illusory financial and network technology industries. This is a real patriotic entrepreneur.

A week later.

Zhou Li'an finalized the modification plan of the two aircraft.

He didn't show up, and Barbara came forward to make the payment to complete the final signing ceremony.

When Barbara sent the contract, she also brought good news along the way: "You have too many customization needs, and the original production period will be more than 6 months..."

"However, they thoughtfully compressed it to 3 months, which is a surprise."

Zhou Li'an was shocked when he heard it.

"What the hell?"

"I've only heard of people queuing up and adding money to order planes, but I haven't heard of those who take the initiative to deliver in advance."

When I bought the H225 at the beginning, if it wasn’t for the engineering machine unsubscribed from the drilling platform, and I customized and modified it myself, it would have been impossible to arrive so quickly.

Barbara said: "The utilization rate of the propeller aircraft market is extremely low. The intermediary service provider responsible for helping us contact said that Bombardier sold a production project of the Dash8 series several years ago!"

"Because there are too few orders, I don't make any money at all, so I can only sell the technology to get back the cost."

"This order of yours is the first new aircraft this year, not to mention that it is a modified user. The intermediary used some tricks. Originally, they wanted to help us lower some prices and increase the commission ratio, but they did not expect to increase the pick-up time in the end. .”

"The intermediary failed to get more commissions, but helped us buy time."

After hearing this, Zhou Li'an couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, keep an eye on the aircraft, and the establishment of the engine manufacturing company... Feel free to email and report the latest situation!"

It has been a week since I returned to the present world.

The oil production time of the equilibrium oil team is about 9 days. Zhou Li'an plans to go back early to witness this important moment with his people.

Patricia came out of the bedroom with a trolley case, took out her mobile phone, and spoke a few words in Spanish fluently.

Soon there was a knock on the bedroom door.

Opening the door, several black and Latino women with strong figures walked in...

Not to mention Barbara, Zhou Li'an was startled.

Patricia said: "This is my bodyguard. I personally selected and trained them in the slums! Juan originally wanted to send me a few bodyguards, but I didn't want them. I don't trust others..."

Zhou Li'an smiled, and pinched her face approvingly, "Well done."

Bodyguards are responsible for carrying luggage.

The group set off for the airport.

Barbara will fly to Chihuahua with those bodyguards, meet with David Leung and Jonah at Kinkou headquarters, and hold a meeting on the group's new acquisition plan.

As Patricia's confidant, the bodyguard will be responsible for monitoring and reporting the affairs of the mining area during her vacation.

Yes, Patricia is going to Greystone for a break to learn Chinese and more gestures.

Came to the airport, parted ways.

But Zhou Li'an always felt that there was something that he had neglected, and his heart was empty.

"Patricia, are we forgetting something?"

Patricia was slightly stunned, and began to think, but did not give an answer in the end.

Seeing that Zhou Li'an was silent, the girl didn't dare to disturb her, so she followed quietly.

Until I got on the plane.

Zhou Li'an saw several private propeller planes parked in the hangar of Juárez Airport, and finally reacted suddenly——

"Bombardier!!"

Under Patricia's astonished gaze, Zhou Li'an took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed Barbara's number.

"Boss? Do you have any other work instructions? I'm about to take off!"

Zhou Li'an suppressed his excitement and shortness of breath: "What do you mean when you said in the hotel that Bombardier sold the production project of the Dash8 series a few years ago?"

Barbara was silent for half a second before she said: "The old-fashioned technology has been eliminated and realized. Of course, the patent is still in Bombardier's hands. It is just a way of buying out authorized production and operation."

"In the past, only Bombardier had mastered the Dash8 technology and production and management qualifications, but now there are two companies in the world that can produce the Dash8 series!"

"However, Bombardier's technology is more mature and stable, so we chose them!"

Zhou Li'an quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pretending to be calm and said: "Then..."

"Do you think it is possible that we also purchase the production items of the Dash8 series and share patents?"

Airplane!
This is a complete set of core technical data for aircraft manufacturing! ! !
