Chapter 853 Aircraft Planning
"Is Heshun Airlines still planning to open a new production line?" The old leader took the fruit given by Xingxing, but did not eat it, and then asked Liu Hai.

"We are preparing to open another production line to reach an annual output of 110 aircraft. The service life of a passenger aircraft is about 20 to 30 years, and one cycle will produce about to aircraft."

"The main consideration is the instability of the global market. After all, Europe has its own aircraft manufacturing companies, not to mention the Bald Eagle."

"In fact, I am waiting to license the C101 to a European civil aircraft manufacturing company!"

"Of course, it is not ruled out that they will design an identical aircraft themselves."

"It seems that C101 has accumulated a lot of orders now, but it will soon attract competition from other aircraft manufacturers." Liu Hai explained to his old leader.

"Yeah, as long as you have a plan." The old leader thought about it and it made sense.

The sudden rise of C101 did cause considerable trouble to the other two aircraft manufacturers.

Of course, to be precise, there are three aircraft manufacturing companies, because McDonnell Douglas still exists.

Of course, with the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 aircraft grounded, this year's Sioux City air crash would have been avoided.

Although McDonnell Douglas suffered huge losses, there were not so many air crashes.

This historical air crash was caused by the broken fan blades of the second engine, which was the engine at the root of the tail wing, piercing the hydraulic pipeline at the rear.

More than 110 people died when the plane made an emergency landing.

Seeing how well the C101 is selling, the other two aircraft manufacturers will surely shun it.

If you blindly increase your production now, you will face huge losses later.

As for whether the other two aircraft manufacturers will develop new twin-engine narrow-body long-range passenger aircraft on their own or are willing to obtain the authorization for the C101, it is hard to say.

Now the C101 has accumulated more than 700 orders, and the other two aircraft manufacturers, unless they are fools, will definitely make a move.

"I heard that you donated a lot of money this year?" the old leader asked again.

"Old leader, you see I have so much money now, but it still provides me with a mouth to feed and a bed to sleep in at night. Anyway, all my money is earned from Western capitalists." Liu Hai donated another 30 billion to the highway fund.

The main reason is that last year's revenue was a bit too much, and several game companies raised funds and went public, making a lot of money.

This highway fund is a public welfare organization, and its scale has now reached nearly 10 billion.

The main thing is to invest in building highways and then distribute dividends, and the dividend money will be used for charity.

Of course, highway tolls are not collected by Liuhai, nor are they collected by this fund. They are collected by specialized companies, and of course these companies must be local companies.

The highway fund only gets dividends from the annual fees. Of course, the highway fund must play a supervisory role to prevent someone from using the collected money to cook the books and reduce the profit margin.

Profit is mainly caring for girls.

Provide help to girls in their study and employment.

"You two are great." The old leader nodded.

My junior sister has a major illness medical fund, which is mainly used for congenital heart diseases, such as congenital ventricular septal defect, which are diseases that will have no impact on life if operated on early.

"Hehe, I plan to donate again next year. This way, on the one hand, it will speed up national construction, and on the other hand, it will help people in need!" Liu Hai smiled.

"I didn't expect a computer game would be worth so much money!" The old leader nodded, naturally knowing how much Liu Hai earned.

"This is a major development trend in the future. Maybe we can play games on mobile phones in the future." Liu Hai handed the peeled fruit to Xingxing.

Because the old leader is old, he can’t bite some fruits, but grapes are still fine.

"You young people understand these things better than us older generations." The old leader nodded and picked up a piece of tissue to wipe Xingxing's sweat.

Because it was Liu Hai who was fanning the old leader with the fan just now. After Xingxing brought the fruit, Liu Hai was peeling the fruit while Xingxing was fanning him with the fan in his hand.

"Grandpa, do you want to eat?" Although Xingxing knew that the old leader didn't want to eat, he still asked politely.

"Good boy, eat it by yourself." The old leader laughed.

Then Xingxing took his brother to other places.

"We want to see children grow up healthily and happily."

"Is our current strength the same as what we used to call other countries the great powers?" the old leader asked again with a smile.

"Although we have the strength, we don't have the intention. What belongs to us is ours, and we will never seize what does not belong to us!" Liu Hai nodded. The 054 destroyers were produced like dumplings. This type of regional air defense missile destroyer became the object of envy of others.

Even the bald eagles now fly outside the island and rarely pass through the inside.

In addition, the three 10,000-ton warships imported from Niu Niu that year have been handed over to the Coast Guard.

Most of the weapons on it were removed, but the six-inch main gun was not removed.

That is 152 mm. The turret behind the main gun was removed, but an ultra-high-power water cannon was installed.

If the enemy dares to open fire, use the main gun directly. If the enemy dares not to open fire, use water cannon.

In addition, a new type of radar and our own navigation system were installed.

Moreover, the armor thickness of this last-generation artillery cruiser is much thicker than that of a missile destroyer.

But now the coast guard can only bully those ships in the small notebook, because there is nothing to do in the south, so they just go to the south for a stroll.

Most of the time, it was the small countries that came to provoke, but facing this kind of coast guard ship, the small countries were helpless.

It was only expressed in the class committee and in the international community that certain powers relied on their powerful ships and guns to bully others and occupy other people's territory.

The old leader nodded and said, it’s good to have strength. When we didn’t have strength in the past, even the big countries would come up and kick us. Now that we have strength, even the small notebook we used to have can only shout loudly.

While Liu Hai was chatting with his old leader, the international Internet was finally connected to Fei Xiong's country.

Western media praised this incident and believed that Fat Bear had joined the international family.

Officials from Niu Niu and Gallic Chicken also made speeches welcoming Fat Bear to join the international family.

This optical cable runs from the Mediterranean Sea, one goes north to Fat Bear, and the other goes south to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.

The reason for laying it from the sea is to reduce unnecessary trouble.

Because laying optical cables on land will face construction compensation planning and so on.

If there is any disagreement on a certain point, the entire construction period will be delayed.

The domestic media also reported this incident extensively. Many foreign investors waved their money to help Feixiong build Internet facilities.

To be precise, it is a group of bosses who want to open an Internet cafe.

However, there is also a group of people in Fat Bear’s country who have long been jealous of such benefits.

Then the two sides hit it off. The Western investors had money and equipment, and the people on Fei Xiong's side had connections and territory.

Of course, international Internet games are still mainly written in English.

Internet games are divided into domestic servers and international servers. Domestic servers use the language or script of each country.

The international servers still use English, and there is no way to unify this.

Because there are so many languages ​​in the world.

Of course, with the access of Fat Bear to the Internet, this means that the number of Internet users will increase again.

Then the stocks of the original game companies became bullish again.

The shooting game 25 has a market value of over billion US dollars.

There are many companies developing shooting games now, some of which are based on World War II. These game companies have made money to some extent, although not as much as they did from the Counter-Strike game.

In addition, the war chess game also has new game content.

Some people have also started copying turn-based games similar to Pirates of the Caribbean.

Anyway, as long as there is a type of game, there are now plenty of game companies developing it.

The three most popular games right now are Legend, Counter-Strike, and Pirates of the Caribbean.

This represents three major types of games.

The most favorite thing for players of the legendary game is to extort equipment from their opponents. The number of paying users of this game has exceeded 120 million.

In contrast, the market valuation of World of Warcraft interactive games has fallen below $60 billion.

Text interactive games are never as attractive as several other games.

The number of paying users was almost halved, and the online rate and online time also dropped significantly.

Liu Hai was well aware of this situation and would wait until the end of the year to buy at the bottom.

Because the second-generation Panda mobile phone will be released at the end of the year, the phone will be able to play text interactive games, of course, via text messages.

In mid-July, Liu Hai received a piece of news before he returned to Kyoto.

Boeing and European aircraft manufacturing company also announced the development of new narrow-body long-range passenger aircraft.

Liu Hai also breathed a sigh of relief. The two companies were finally gone, but Heshun Airlines’ third production line will be able to start production this year.

Although these two companies are out, Liu Hai is not afraid at all because of the manufacturing costs.

However, the other two companies have their own traditional markets, so our C101 will also face competition in their traditional markets in the future.

However, the C101 also has one advantage, that is, all exported aircraft use Rolls-Royce engines.

Heshun Airlines has ordered more than 600 engines from Rolls-Royce.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the European and African markets will be impacted by European passenger aircraft.

After all, Rolls-Royce also has interests in it.

“We just talked about airplanes a while ago, but I didn’t expect these two companies to come now.”

"Will it have any impact on their aircraft sales?" the old leader asked with concern.

"There is definitely an impact, but it is not very big because the manufacturing cost of our aircraft is much lower than theirs."

"Besides, the C101s we export all use Rolls-Royce engines, so they are still competitive in Europe, Africa and South America. The civil aviation passenger transport companies don't make money out of thin air."

"Buying our aircraft means the same aircraft will cost less."

"There may be two results. The first result is that European aircraft manufacturers and Boeing's manufacturing companies will fight each other in the country of Bald Eagle!"

"Another result is that these two companies will force us to negotiate, ask us to raise the selling price together, and reap the benefits of the whole world together." Liu Hai was mentally prepared for this matter.

After hearing Liu Hai's analysis and hearing that the other two companies wanted us to raise prices together and cut leeks from all over the world, the old leader asked: "If it is really the second case, what are you going to do?"

"Of course there will be no price increase. Anyway, C101 has no intention of entering the Bald Eagle market. As for European aircraft manufacturing companies, I believe that Europe will not have any fatal impact on C101."

"Although the Gallic Chickens may have some complaints, don't forget that they have sold thousands of helicopters, and their subsequent maintenance and repairs require our parts. In addition, we will prepare to upgrade these helicopters in the next step."

"In addition, Gallic Machine has a close relationship with our material imports. Many of the materials we import from West Africa are imported through Gallic Machine's trading company." Liu Hai had already taken these things into account.

When dealing with these people in the West, you have to talk about interests. As long as there are interests involved, everything will be easy to talk about.

"As for Niu Niu, Rolls-Royce has huge interests in it. European passenger aircraft manufacturers do not simply use Rolls-Royce engines. They also use Pratt & Whitney and General Motors. On the contrary, only we use Rolls-Royce engines."

"That is to say, even if Europe can produce narrow-body long-range passenger aircraft, only 100 out of 20 passenger aircraft sold will use Rolls-Royce engines, and the remaining 80 will use GE or Pratt & Whitney. Therefore, it is unlikely that Niu Niu will conduct an antitrust or anti-dumping investigation against us."

"Besides, we use Rolls-Royce engines, so anti-monopoly or anti-dumping cannot be established."

"It is highly likely that European airliner companies will compete with Bald Eagle's technology companies in Bald Eagle's traditional market."

"Of course, our airline also has shortcomings, that is, our aircraft types are a bit too single. Now the company is developing medium- and short-range passenger aircraft."

"In addition, the range of C101 is still a little short, and we will develop aircraft with longer range in the future."

The old leader nodded when he heard this. It seemed that Liu Hai’s motivation for purchasing the Rolls-Royce engine was not so simple.

No wonder after purchasing all the technologies of the McDonnell Douglas series aircraft, which included engine technology, Liu Hai went on to purchase Rolls-Royce engine technology. At that time, many people thought that Liu Hai had wasted his money, but now it seems that he has not lost anything at all.

"110 passenger planes a year!" The old leader thought about how difficult it was to import foreign aircraft at the beginning, and at that time all of them were exchanged for various materials.

I didn't expect that the annual aircraft production in China has reached such a number. If we include the DC10 cargo planes and other miscellaneous aircraft, the number will be even greater.

"The next step is to try to invest in Rolls-Royce, mainly to cooperate with Rolls-Royce to develop new engines." I will definitely not give up on the engine, and Rolls-Royce's engine technology is indeed awesome, which has to be admitted.
