Become a super arms dealer with the workshop system

Chapter 141 L410 Transport Aircraft

Han Feng was just a military fan in his previous life, and he knew little about military production, but this matter did not trouble him, because there was an expert in this field in the company.

Since Han Feng left Europe last time, Crozzo had been idle for a while. It wasn't until Han Feng remitted the first sum of money to the account of the second-hand car business some time ago that he started to get busy, choosing a venue, contacting the source of the car, The shipping company and the car dealers who collect cars in Afrika are almost all done by him alone.

Crozo, who was born as an engineer, is not very good at communicating with people, but under the influence of the mid-life unemployment crisis, he still had to step out of his comfort zone and began to take on more and more communication work.

Therefore, when Han Feng met Crozo this time, the image of the other party had undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Boss, this is the current situation of our company's used car business."

Fortunately, Crozo did not lose the rigorous personality he had cultivated when he was an engineer. After getting the news that his boss had come to the company, he took out a whole box of organized documents and began to report on the current business progress.

"Africa currently has a great demand for cheap second-hand cars. Many car dealers from Côte d'Ivoire gather at the port of Antwerp. They will be responsible for transporting the cars to Africa for sale. We only need to collect the goods. Just go to the port in Antwerp."

"Then how far do we need to deal with the car? For example, will they buy some cars with damaged engines or gearboxes?" Han Feng has repaired many second-hand cars in his life before coming to Africa, and he probably knows this market well. How deep is the water, not to mention soaking in water and burning for large items. There are even cases of cutting up the wreckage of four or five cars and putting them together to sell as one car, which is simply breathtaking.

"I watched some of their transactions in Antwerp." Crozzo opened his laptop and found a video: "In general, these African truck dealers are lax in checking the condition of their vehicles, probably because there Customers don’t really care about these things, and there are very few used cars for export, so it’s still a seller’s market.”

After playing the video to Han Feng, Crozzo continued: "Boss, you have a good vision. Now the people who mainly sell cars are retail investors. The car dealers in Afrika need to go to one place to sell. People who drive cars also have concerns about these Afrikaners. In short, the current market really needs a large-scale middleman to do this. The only problem is that the current market size is too small and there are not enough car sources.”

"Don't worry about the source of vehicles." Han Feng waved his hand. Judging from Oliver's previous emphasis on environmental protection issues, I am afraid that the Europa League will soon pass the most stringent emission law in history. The most powerful is , this bill even has restrictions on old cars: "The situation will change in the second half of the year, so the main job now is to publicize our business, so that those who want to sell second-hand cars will be the first to think of us. In addition, This is a long-running business, we only do high-quality goods, and the car dealers in Africa are very united, if there is a problem with word-of-mouth, it will be very troublesome."

Speaking of this, Han Feng suddenly remembered a rather magical second-hand car advertisement in Huaxia: "Oh, by the way, for those who are unwilling to find a middleman to buy a car, we can also withdraw from the consignment business, so that buyers can directly To communicate with the seller, you only need to pay us a little handling fee, and when you advertise, you can say that there is no middleman to make the difference, which is equivalent to our retail business.”

Crozo next to him has already opened a small notebook to record what Han Feng said.

"Okay, let's put aside the car matter. I came to you this time mainly for another matter." Han Feng watched Crozo put away his notebook, and changed the subject: "What about Ermao's side?" How much do you know about the military industry?"

"Second Mao?" Crozo didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while while fiddling with the pen in his hand: "After breaking up with Lucia last year, many of their supporting factories should have no business, although There are still good things in some subdivisions, but the overall decline is very serious. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Ermao military industry suffered a blow last year no less than that in 1991.”

Talking about his old profession, Crozzo's mood became a lot easier.

"Then have you heard of the MiGremont aircraft repair factory in Zaporozhye?" Han Feng called up the information Oliver sent to him from his mobile phone and handed it over: "I want to make an acquisition, and then use their Equipment and personnel to carry out some aviation business, how do you think it is feasible?"

Crozzo glanced briefly at Han Feng's information before returning the phone. Obviously, the information was nothing worth looking at for him.

"That's right, boss." Crozo considered his own words: "MiGremont has been responsible for the maintenance of MiG fighters before the disintegration of the alliance, and later undertook part of the business for Sukhoi. They do have Certain parts production capacity, but this capacity has not been updated for a long time.”

"So you don't see much prospect of acquiring this company?"

"Uh... I'm just an employee, and you should of course make specific decisions, but even the new generation of fulcrums and flankers sold by Lucia are very different from the old models during the Cold War, and the MiGremont It is difficult for our equipment to adapt to the needs of the new aircraft.” Crozo said very euphemistically, but he was obviously not optimistic about the prospects of this acquisition: “The value of Ermao aviation companies lies in those engineers who started working during the Cold War, but you It is completely possible to go directly to recruit people, and there is no need to spend unreasonable money to buy the factory."

Han Feng lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

What an old fritter like Crozo said is obviously reasonable, but if he doesn't even have a working factory, it may be difficult to recruit those technicians.

Perhaps seeing Han Feng's concerns, Crozzo tentatively continued: "If you really want to enter the aviation manufacturing industry through an acquisition, then I suggest you consider the LET Aircraft Manufacturing Company in the Czech Republic."

"LET company..." Han Feng recalled that being a stinky army fan is a bit good, because he often needs to talk to people, so he usually covers a wide range of fields: "I remember the company that produced the L410 light transport aircraft? "

"I really didn't expect you to have heard of them." Crozo's face showed a trace of surprise: "The current largest shareholder of this company is Lucia's Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company. The original plan was to sell about 10 aircraft to Lucia every year. L410NG transport aircraft, but this list has now been blown off, and now Ural Mining has no longer added any investment, but is building a new factory in Yekaterinburg, so in fact, since the middle of last year, LET has entered There was a complete shutdown, and wages for workers stopped.”

"If Ural Mining intends to sell it, it can indeed be considered..."

"Because of the plan to produce L410NG, LET Company only upgraded a batch of equipment around 2010. Of course, it is still incomparable with those large aviation factories, but at least it meets the level of the aviation industry in the 21st century." Crozzo continued. road.

"Well, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, after all, it is not a small investment."

Of course, Han Feng can't make a decision casually. The 3 million US dollars he got from Huaxia Aluminum sounds like a lot, but if he is going to buy an aircraft factory, there is no chance of trial and error, so for insurance To keep things in mind, Han Feng decisively contacted Leila after leaving the company and returning to his residence.

"Acquisition of LET company?" Leila thought for a while after hearing Han Feng's thoughts: "I have heard some rumors about LET company, but I have to check again and contact you later."

Leila's character is quite vigorous, so Han Feng didn't have to wait too long.

"I asked a friend from the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company, and he said that LET Company is currently in a state of paralyzed shutdown."

"I know this, probably because of what happened last year? After all, LET is an enterprise of a Pact country, and there is no way to blatantly build aircraft for you." Han Feng replied, and Crozo had already said these things before.

However, Leila gave a completely different answer: "No, it has nothing to do with what happened last year. First of all, the Europa League did not prohibit member countries from selling aviation products to us. Even Safran in Gaul is still working with us. Collaborative development of aero-engines, and ... the shutdown of LET began two years ago."

"Is there such a thing?"

Obviously, as an outsider, Crozo's understanding of LET's situation is only superficial, and the friend Leila found is probably not an ordinary friend.

"Well, it's actually a purely technical problem. Their next-generation main product, the L410NG aircraft, has some design flaws. If they want to modify the design, they will need to invest a lot of money, so Ural Mining simply took the money to find Yiliu. Shen Design Bureau invested in Il 112V..."

The good guy turned out to be strategically abandoned.

It is indeed a very sad thing that a plane that is close to its first flight is found to have design defects, but for Han Feng...

Doesn't seem to matter?
"That is to say, there is an objective demand for this kind of light aircraft?" Han Feng held back his inner surprise. The system workshop can just perfect the design of the L410NG. Although many of the subsystems need to be purchased externally, these The integration work has been done by LET Corporation.

"Of course, the transportation between many cities in Siberia mainly relies on these small aircraft." Leila said and yawned: "But you have to think carefully, after the acquisition, you have to invest another sum of money to improve the design before mass production. "

Han Feng took a deep breath: "Well... I think I have thought it through."
