Chapter 871 C150 Regional Aircraft (8000 words)
"Human nature is like this. No matter how good the system is, it can't stop such people. We can only deal with them seriously if we find one." Liu Hai now looks indifferent.

With such a large population in a country, there are bound to be some people who are indecisive.

Look at how strict Zhu Yuanzhang was in history, yet there were still so many people involved.

Greed is part of human nature, but most people are able to suppress their greed deep in their hearts.

Just like Liu Hai can’t wait to hold both the Bald Eagle’s B2 and the Fat Goose’s 160 in his hands.

And when these people sit in this position and find that wealth is within their reach, few can resist such greed.

Liu Hai asked himself that now that he was in this position, he might be even more excessive than the gang led by the second brother of Fei Goose.

Sun Aiguo sighed: "There have been people like this in our factory every year. These people just can't stop their greed."

"Fat Goose and his gang want to make some money and then go to the West, but after they get to the West, they have no roots of their own, and those in the West have many ways to deal with them!" What Liu Hai said had already happened in his previous life. All the assets of the rich people in Fat Goose in the West were directly confiscated.

Not only was it confiscated, the money from the sales was used to support Fat Goose's opponents.

Putting aside the personalities of these Westerners, those who profit from national disasters are not welcome abroad. People abroad will certainly not regard these people as their own because they only care about money. Once something happens in the country, these people are the first to run away.

In other words, now that you are rich, others welcome you because they are attracted by the money in your pocket. If something happens one day, these people will be the first to suffer.

Of course, it was fortunate that Liu Hai traveled through time two years earlier. If he had traveled through time two years later, he would have known how much the Bald Eagle’s bank had cost him.

The Bald Eagle Bank underwent bankruptcy acquisition in three days and reopened for business.

Even the door sign and the staff inside were not changed, but the money in the account was gone.

It is said that it was this wave of harvesting by the Bald Eagle Bank that caused heavy losses to some wealthy people who had fled abroad from certain countries. They then came back to do various things to make money, and then a large group of people left the Bald Eagle Bank and ran to Lijiaopo.

In the end, these people still can't keep this little money, and it will all be reaped by others.

"Western countries are not fools. They will definitely be on high alert against such traitors. As soon as there is any sign of trouble, they will be the first to strike them."

"If such people get into trouble abroad, they deserve it. They are despised by the world and their own country. People in the West are also wary of such people!"

"No matter which country's ruler it is, it is impossible to trust such a person." Sun Aiguo nodded, not to mention the original character of those Western people.

"Director, what's the situation with the plane?" Liu Hai couldn't help but ask.

"There are too many people eyeing this area now, and their current economy can still be maintained, especially the second brother's family, who received a sum of money from us. We bought their land to build a farm and ranch!"

"But this transaction also made us have a better relationship with the people in the second brother's family. Some people even contacted us and wanted to sell us the plane."

"But we dare not act rashly, because we don't know the details of these people!"

"So this matter is still a bit of a headache!" Sun Aiguo took a sip of tea and spoke.

Sun Aiguo knew it so clearly, on the one hand because his rank was high enough, and on the other hand Sun Aiguo had been keeping an eye on this matter. It can be said that Sun Aiguo wanted these planes more than Liu Hai.

"Actually, I have an idea. There's no need to contact people at too high a level. Just contact the people who are in charge of specific matters below. Such people can accomplish great things with little money." Liu Hai also knew that these things must be done very covertly.

"And people who are too high-ranking might waver, contacting us while contacting others. They will weigh the price offered by the other party between the two sides."

“In the end, it’s still these grassroots people who get things done.”

"In addition, this matter is mainly the opinions of several cadres of the class committee!"

"My personal opinion is that we should have a tough fight. Let's have a tough fight, especially against the bald eagle and the fat goose!"

When Sun Aiguo heard this, he asked, "Can you tell me in detail?"

"In fact, it's just the old ways of our ancestors: make friends with distant countries and attack nearby ones. Europe is definitely worried about our tendencies."

"With our current economic size and manufacturing industry, if we were to side with one party, Europe would have a hard time."

“But on another level, we can only befriend Europe.”

"To put it bluntly, internal disharmony in Europe is more beneficial to us."

"No one wants to see a powerful bald eagle on this blue planet, but no one wants to see a powerful Europe either."

"Of course they would be uncomfortable if we became stronger, but we are far away from the center of their struggle due to geographical reasons."

Liu Hai saw it very clearly in his previous life. Our development was due, on the one hand, to the Westerners themselves, and on the other hand, to geopolitics, and of course, to our large population base and good policies.

“Europe is now facing a fat goose on one side and a bald eagle on the other.”

"Europe will have the least reaction to our acquisition of the aircraft, because we are not only far away from them, but also separated by many countries!"

"If we get the plane, the one who will react most strongly will probably be Fat Goose. But now Fat Goose is a greedy group, we can just give them money to deal with them."

“The only ones who might react violently are bald eagles.”

"But this is probably what Europe would like to see most."

Sun Aiguo nodded after hearing Liu Hai's analysis. To put it bluntly, Europe now dares to challenge the bald eagle.

It is entirely because of our strong manufacturing capabilities, which is equivalent to providing them with logistical support.

As for Fat Goose Liu Hai, he also said that the greed of this group of people is the best, and things that can be solved with money at this stage are not a big deal.

"In addition, there are the interests of Lao Er and others involved. As long as the money is enough, Lao Er will definitely be willing to settle this matter."

Sun Aiguo nodded: "I will report the matter later."

"Some economic experts predict that in the next three to five years, our economic output will exceed that of the bald eagle."

“This is something I never dared to think about before!”

"These two giants have become like this in just a few decades!"

Sun Aiguo felt very emotional when he said this.

Liu Hai nodded and said, "Our economic structure is the best at this time. Most of it is now manufacturing, and high-end manufacturing, including semiconductors, chips, automobiles, electricity, and machinery."

"But our country has a large population, so if we calculate the average, there is still a big gap between us and the bald eagle."

Sun Aiguo laughed when he heard what Liu Hai said: "That's true, but the growth of Bald Eagle will gradually slow down. Their domestic manufacturing industry is fleeing at an accelerated rate. Chrysler and Ford's two automobile factories are preparing to increase their investment in us and reduce their production lines in Bald Eagle."

"Of course, as an old capitalist developed country, they have many advantages. In addition, their vast land and sparse population have much better land resources than ours."

“But now Europe is ready to come out and look at it alone, which will cause the development of the bald eagle to stagnate or even regress.”

Liu Hai took a sip of tea, turned his body sideways, and changed his position to bask in the sun.

Sun Aiguo's teahouse is brightly sunny in winter, and in summer he builds some loofah racks outside the windows.

There is heating in the house, and the feeling under the sun is just like summer, but it is very comfortable. After all, the sunlight in winter is not as glaring as in summer.

"But we shouldn't have too much hope in Europe, because once they defeat the bald eagle, they will definitely fight with us over interests."

"This is how it is between countries. There are only mutual benefits."

"Of course, Europe also has its own limitations. It is in turmoil internally, and the Bald Eagle will definitely cause trouble in this regard in the future."

Sun Aiguo nodded when he heard this. Westerners like to stir up trouble and sow discord, so he said, "The Bald Eagle is not without weaknesses. Don't forget that it is also a federal country. If it provokes Europe, they may plot against each other."

"The main reason is that Europe is too close to the bald eagle, separated by the Atlantic Ocean. They will definitely have to decide the winner, which is extremely beneficial to us. However, the West's top priority now is not to target us, but the fat goose. After all, the fat goose's huge mushroom eggs are a concern for Westerners."

Sun Aiguo felt a bit complicated when he heard this. On the one hand, he felt that Fat Goose and the Second Brother were too wasteful. Sun Aiguo felt that once Fat Goose and the Second Brother restricted their armed forces, the West would reveal its true colors.

On the other hand, I feel that the disarmament of Fat Goose and Old Two is extremely beneficial to us. After all, a huge nuclear arsenal is a threat to everyone.

"We are maintaining a neutral attitude now, and anyone can cooperate with us." Liu Hai nodded. At this stage, they have to do business with Fei Goose, Lao Er, the Middle East, Europe, and even South America.

Even the bald eagle's business will not be left behind.

"Next month we will resume negotiations to import food for the bald eagle, mainly in the automotive sector, as we export more to the bald eagle."

"A few months ago, Bald Eagle imposed high tariffs on Panda II mobile phones and other products. We wanted to retaliate, but after checking around, we found that the things we import from Bald Eagle are very few, just food."

"When the senior leaders saw the report, they burst out laughing."

"Everyone also said that they wanted to target the bald eagle, but they didn't expect that there was no way. Now he is the only one targeting us."

"Continue to work on a food import agreement with Bald Eagle, and then Bald Eagle will lift tariffs on our goods."

After hearing the news, Liu Hai thought about it and felt that it was true. If he wanted to counter the bald eagle now, he would not be able to find anything because the only thing he could import from the bald eagle was food.

Historically, the main items we imported from Bald Eagle were high-end machinery, aircraft and semiconductors.

In this time and space, there is no need to import these things. The high-end machinery we produce is no worse than that of the Bald Eagle, and in many aspects it is even ahead of the Bald Eagle.

After all, we are one of the developers of embedded chip standards.

As for airplanes, we can now manufacture them domestically. As for semiconductors, it goes without saying that our semiconductors are leading the world.

In this situation, there is really no way to counter the bald eagle.

"The first of the two main reasons why higher authorities are considering a settlement is the auto industry."

"The second is to make the bald eagle's food industry dependent on us, so that it will be easier to deal with them in the future."

"At the same time, the Bald Eagle is one of the countries with the strongest armed forces in the world, so it is not convenient for us to have too much direct conflict with it."

"We are the two most populous countries in the world. Our country imports the most food, while the third country not only does not import food, but also exports it."

Liu Hai fully agrees with the decision of the higher authorities. It is not good to isolate the other party blindly. Importing grain and making the other party's grain industry dependent on us will make it much easier to talk and do things in the future.

This is actually using the market to force the other party. There was a period of time in history when some Southeast Asian countries followed our lead, and as a result, we simply stopped importing their fruits.

Then there was chaos in their country. The fruit farmers and transportation companies all lost their business and their income. These people must have been dissatisfied.

If fruit farmers lose their income, then related fertilizer and pesticide companies will also lose their income.

A domino effect occurred.

In fact, for ordinary people, what they care about most is their own income. As for ordinary people at a higher level, it is useless for them to care about it.

It's not just in Southeast Asia, it's the same in other places too, using the market to pressure the other party.

The same goes for iron ore, although we did pay some price in the process, for example, we would rather import iron ore from Brazil or other places with higher prices than buy your iron ore.

This has caused iron ore companies in some countries to lose their business.

Of course, this time and space is much better. We have shares in several of the world's largest iron ore producers.

Of course, the largest share still belongs to the dealers.

But the dealers don’t dare to do anything to us, because without us, their economic and trade cycle will be destroyed.

Of course, this is a mutually beneficial and win-win model.

Of course, it is this pattern that makes the bald eagle grit its teeth.

"I just don't know what else the bald eagles will do, but they will definitely not accept this."

Liu Hai took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "That's for sure!"

"I went to Sanya for the New Year this year. It was comfortable there in the winter. I will go there in the winter and return to Kyoto in the summer." Sun Aiguo talked about his personal affairs again.

When Sun Aiguo arrived there, he lived in the motorcycle factory, which was located at the flight test site in Hainan, and there was a guesthouse there.

"When I retire, I will go sea fishing with the old factory manager." When Liu Hai heard this, he was actually very envious. It would be very comfortable to spend the winter in Sanya.

"Are you really going to retire at 60? That must not be easy." Sun Aiguo always thought Liu Hai was joking.

"When people get older, their thinking brains are not active anymore, so they have to give way to the young people. Anyway, it will always be done by the young people." The main thing is that Liu Hai has almost taken out all the things that should be taken out.

Besides, Liu Hai also felt that it was time for him to enjoy himself. He had not yet visited his own island or seen the beautiful rivers and mountains.

Including the time I worked in my last life, I have been working for decades. In this life, I have been working from my teens to 60 years old, plus the time I worked in my last life.

Liu Hai felt that he had worked enough, and if he hadn't finished the work at hand, he really wanted to retire early.

“You can’t retire even if you want to.”

"Your Fenghuo Technology Company, your passenger aircraft manufacturing company."

Liu Hai laughed when he heard this: "These industries will have a few more years of development. We just need to follow the established direction. In fact, I am only managing these two companies in a general direction, and I will let the people below do the rest."

"Who are you going to give these properties to then?" Sun Aiguo asked with a smile.

"We'll see when the time comes. Anyway, I have a lot of assets at hand." When it comes to the issue of heirs, Liu Hai feels a bit overwhelmed.

Needless to say, Liu Chengcai has already taken it to the museum, and Liu Chengcai still wants to teach and educate people, and has never thought about going into business. Liu Chengcai thinks that being a teacher is best when he has winter and summer vacations every year so that he can spend more time with children.

Dabao now has his own business, which is Internet media, that is, Internet news websites and the like.

It’s no wonder that Dabao is talented in this area, because there are always some weird news on the European News Network that Dabao runs to attract people’s clicks.

However, after reading some of the news bangs, it seems that they were probably fabricated by Dabao Company itself. This is not uncommon in 2020. Some weird things that become hot searches are often caused by some companies themselves or some operations teams.

Erbao will inherit a lot of Xiaoyun's things. As for Xiaoyun's youngest child, he is still young.

Liu Hai's two daughters, Xiaoyan and Xiaofeng, are not yet old enough to inherit the throne.

However, Liu Hai is not afraid because he has a lot of long-term investments. If his descendants are not interested in airplanes and semiconductors by the time, he can just let everyone hold shares.

The Red Flag Canal, the Three Gorges Project and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project that I invested in all generate dividends every year, and my children will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.

In addition, afforestation and coral planting are also long-term heavy asset investments.

These investments are slow to show results, but once they are effective, they will provide a stable income.

After the successful planting of corals, Liu Hai will engage in tourism development and sea fishing. He will not engage in artificial breeding because the environment in the ocean is ever-changing.

No one knows what will eat the fish fry or other things you release, because Liu Hai saw a news report in his previous life that the sea cucumbers or something farmed in Xiaobenzi were eaten by starfish, and the loss was extremely heavy.

Sun Aiguo shook his head when he heard what Liu Hai said. Liu Hai’s children would definitely not be short of money. The copyrights of Liu Hai’s works alone would bring in a large sum of money every year.

Liu Hai felt relieved after talking with Sun Aiguo.

New Year’s Eve in 1993 was on January 1nd.

This year, the whole family is planning to travel to the southwest, and first of all, we are going to see pandas and golden monkeys.

Then Liu Hai prepared to visit the relocation area of ​​the Three Gorges Reservoir.

Mainly in Kyoto, there is really not much to do, and during the New Year, Kyoto is crowded with tourists from other places.

As a Kyoto native, it's better to go there as it's not so crowded.

This year it is the Great Cold on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. There is a custom in the countryside that the soil in front of and behind the house can only be moved after the Great Cold, and it seems that the graves of ancestors can only be visited after the Great Cold.

So on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Hai took his family members who had returned to Kyoto back to his hometown.

Now every household in his hometown lives in a two-story building, and a cement road has been built into the village. When Liu Hai and his family returned, they were warmly welcomed by the villagers.

In fact, Liu Hai does not have any deep feelings for his hometown. Since he took over someone else's body, he was just a cold-eyed observer of other people's childhood, just like watching TV. He does not have such a deep feeling for his hometown.

Every year when Liu Hai comes back to visit the grave, he treats the villagers to a meal. This has become a regular feature of the event.

After visiting the graves and eating and drinking, the family returned to Kyoto, because the next day was New Year's Eve. My former father-in-law's health was not that good, but if it wasn't good, he could at least walk around.

However, my former father-in-law is now very open-minded. According to his own words, he lives one day at a time, eats when he should, and drinks when he should.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Hai came to the teacher's house. Although Zhu Haiyang is at retirement age, he can forget about retiring.

The teacher's shaftless pump thruster has been successfully developed, but as an expert in this field, he still needs to lead the research team to continue to optimize it.

Because with the development of semiconductors, the performance of shaftless pump propulsion will become more and more advanced.

The overall control technology will be higher.

On the third day of the New Year, Liu Hai went out with his family.

"Is it so cold in the southwest?" The family arrived in the southwest on two private planes, but they didn't expect that a cold wave would hit as soon as they arrived.

Although the whole family wore down jackets, it was damp and cold in the southwest, completely different from the weather in the north.

The damp and cold was like a magical attack; no matter how thick your clothes were, they could always find their way in through the gaps.

What Liu Hai and his family couldn't accept was that people in the southwest had to open windows for ventilation no matter how cold it was.

"Pandas have to live in this kind of environment, otherwise their fur can't stand the high temperature."

As expected, the colder the weather, the more excited the pandas are, but there are also many people celebrating the New Year here in the southwest.

We originally planned to visit the reservoir area, but when we arrived in the southwest, a cold wave came the next day, and it rained and snowed.

So the family simply traveled around Shudu and visited Dujiangyan, Mount Emei, Leshan Giant Buddha, and Mount Qingcheng. The only drawback was that there were too many people.

Then he searched for delicious food in every corner of Shudu.

I spent a week in the southwest before returning to Kyoto.

After returning to Kyoto, Liu Hai saw a piece of news that was negotiating with the Bald Eagle on food imports.

The bald eagle is helpless now because his house is too messy.

The decline in grain exports has caused a large number of companies to decline, including agricultural machinery, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and logistics and transportation.

And the bald eagle found himself imposing high tariffs, but in vain.

Although import data shows that the import volume of Panda 60 mobile phones has dropped by % compared to before the tariffs were imposed.

However, according to actual statistics, the number of Panda 15nd generation mobile phones in use has increased by %.

The sales of mobile phones from mobile phone companies such as Nokia did not increase as much as expected.

Because there is so much smuggling, it is said that many people who sell white flour have started smuggling mobile phones.

Bald Eagle has a vast border with Mexico to the south, as well as a sea route. It is impossible to ban this thing because Bald Eagle has people to support it in its own country.

Liu Hai was watching TV. The TV series "The Legend of White Snake" was released as usual, but the shooting effect and picture quality were much better than in history.

Domestic economic development has also brought about an explosion in culture and entertainment.

Novels, poetry, opera, crosstalk, film, and animation are also booming.

In contrast, Hollywood is in constant decline.

It was mainly the economic dispute between Europe and the bald eagle that led to a fierce competition between the two sides in the cultural field.

In fact, a long time ago, with the help of bangs, Niu Niu directly defeated Hollywood in the fields of film and animation.

In addition, Bald Eagle's economy is not as good as it was in history, so its cultural and entertainment industries are naturally not as developed.

The cultural and entertainment industry is actually built on an economic foundation.

Whether it is the success of Hollywood or the success of Hong Kong films in the 1980s and 1990s, it is inseparable from financial investment.

Hong Kong's films declined later on, partly because there was a lack of capital inflow, and partly because other countries introduced policies, such as the "small booklet", that restricted the entry of Hong Kong and Taiwan films.

In the field of culture and entertainment, each country has its own restrictions, because this is a kind of cultural influence. If foreign cultural and entertainment products are allowed to be released in the country without restraint, then these products will affect several generations. The cultural field is an invisible war.

In March 1993, the bald eagle Niu Niu, the Gallic rooster, and the second brother signed a mushroom destruction agreement. In the next few years, the second brother would destroy all his mushrooms, and the bald eagle, the Gallic rooster and Niu Niu would give certain financial compensation.

When Liu Hai saw the news, he sighed in his heart. If the second brother had kept some mushrooms in his hands, things would not have been like this later.

However, due to ethnic reasons in Europe, it is impossible to say who is right or wrong in many matters.

What happened to the second country later was actually due to its internal suppression of the ethnic groups in several states to its east. The president of the second country even openly targeted the ethnic groups in these states.

You have to know that the ethnic groups in the states east of the second country are not minorities, and the fat goose next door certainly doesn't want to see its own people being bullied.

Of course, in history, the second-placed people have often been targeted by the fat goose people.

Anyway, the grudges in that area have become unclear.

Another event happened in March 1993. Some big countries in the East initiated a major response and held the World Environmental Summit in Paris.

The first point of the forum is to protect the ocean, and the first thing to do is to improve the emission standards of ships.

Then the second article is to protect endangered marine animals. The meeting decided to ban the small whales from continuing to hunt whales.

Xiao Benzi expressed strong opposition to this matter, saying that we hunt whales for scientific research.

However, the countries participating in the forum voted overwhelmingly to ban Japan from continuing to hunt whales. If Japan does not comply, the participating countries will impose economic sanctions on Japan.

After this resolution, Xiaobenzi directly withdrew from the summit.

In view of this situation, Niu Niu proposed to establish a mobile marine environment protection organization to monitor other countries. Legal measures will be taken against some countries that damage the marine environment, and economic sanctions or criminal charges will be imposed on companies, individuals or entities that damage the marine environment.

When Liu Hai saw the news on Heshun Airlines, he was speechless about the little notebook's ignorance of the situation.

Sometimes the little notebook just can't recognize the situation. The warships of the Gallic chicken are right in the little notebook's port.

Moreover, Niu Niu also has the Gallic Rooster and an organization similar to the Bald Eagle District Procuratorate. If Xiao Benzi really wants to fight against it, someone will immediately go to arrest people.

The third article is to identify new emission standards for aircraft, requiring that aircraft must meet the emission standards within a certain number of years.

The bald eagle expressed strong opposition to this matter.

However, the resolution was passed by an overwhelming majority at the forum.

Of course, this standard will not be implemented all at once, as it will take time for companies to do so.

Liu Hai works at Heshun Airlines because they developed a new regional jet, similar to the Airbus 320, code-named C150.

The C150 is a single-aisle, twin-engine, short-haul passenger aircraft with 150 seats.

This has significantly reduced the cost of domestic branch routes, because using the C101 to fly short distances would be more expensive.

Today is the day when the testing of the C150 engineering prototype begins.

C150 will undergo various tests for up to half a year, such as fatigue tests, life tests, and static tests.

The first aircraft will then be produced for flight testing, and is expected to be finalized and put into production by the end of 1993.

"Engineer Liu, our aviation industry has truly grown!" The leader in charge of aviation looked at the engineering prototype on the life test workbench and said to Liu Hai.

Both of them were wearing safety helmets and work clothes, of course the colors of their hats were different, and they were obviously leaders at first glance.

"I can't do without the support of the leaders!" Liu Hai certainly knows that technological research and development within the factory is one thing, but the real thing still requires official support.

The leader in charge of the aviation department laughed and said, "Mr. Liu, you are too polite!"

Given Liu Hai's status and influence, anyone who dares to talk about introducing aircraft from other companies will probably be immediately scrutinized.

Of course, the key is that the aircraft manufactured by Heshun Aviation not only have excellent performance, but are also much cheaper than similar aircraft.

To put it bluntly, as long as the performance is excellent, no one dares to say they want to buy foreign products even if the price is higher than foreign ones.

What's more, the performance of C101 is so excellent that there are now orders for more than 600 of them around the world.

"Boeing and Eurocopter are also going to launch long-range narrow-body aircraft this year. Will it have any impact on your company?" the supervisor, the head of the aviation department, asked Liu Hai again.

Liu Hai nodded: "Overseas orders will definitely be affected, but our goal is to build a solid domestic base first. Besides, Boeing and European aircraft manufacturers, their hastily designed aircraft may not have the same performance as ours."
