"What's the matter, do you want to get a business jet for the company?" Yang Kaiming said with a smile on the side.

Usually, he didn't realize that this trip made him realize such a thing, and he really had the idea to get his own plane, so that he would encounter such a thing again in the future, no matter in terms of safety, comfort, or confidentiality. It is said that it is definitely better to take your own plane than to take a civil aviation plane.

"I have this idea." Xu Ziling nodded, "You said that there are more than 20 of us this time, which is just about the same as the number of first-class seats. Such a round trip will cost hundreds of thousands of air tickets. Compared with safety, confidentiality, and comfort, there is a big difference, so if we have our own plane, it is still very practical."

"Then you can buy one. Now there are a lot of private business jets. Small business jets cost a few million dollars, and big ones cost hundreds of millions. It just depends on how much you are willing to pay."

Nie Yunjie took over the conversation and talked to Xu Ziling with a smile.

"Why don't we just use the entire 'Air Force One'?" Speaking of this topic, Li Cheng got excited and quickly interjected.

"Don't be joking." Xu Ziling felt helpless looking at these guys. No matter what the topic was, as long as it was not a formal occasion, the few people would definitely talk about it, "I really thought it was necessary to get a plane. Personally, I’m okay. If it’s domestic, I’ll fly a helicopter there. If it’s faster, I’ll fly a fighter jet, but you don’t know how to play this. Besides, there will be more scenes like this in the future. Those foreigners are underestimated."

Pointing to Nie Yunjie who can't fly a plane, he said a few words, and then asked: "Tell me, what kind of plane is suitable for us? I really want to order one, and you can give me your ideas."

"Really buy it?"

Yang Kaiming asked in surprise.

I thought he was joking before.

"Really!" Xu Ziling nodded.

An aircraft that is too large must be a waste for their company, but if it is too small, it will definitely not work, because if they have an aircraft, they must often fly abroad. Besides, the aircraft is small and comfortable. It's not good either, it's almost the same as taking a civil aviation plane.

Seeing him coming, everyone lowered their heads and thought about what kind of private jet would be suitable for the military factory. They didn’t want to buy one that was too expensive, and didn’t want to buy one that was too cheap.

In the end, it was Fan Yu who thought first, "There is already a large-scale airliner production line in China, and we have talents in this field in our laboratory. Why don't we come up with a plan to order one?"

Xu Ziling was really reluctant to buy foreign planes. He had just thought about whether he should just buy one himself, but he thought it was not worth wasting time and energy for such a plane, so he rejected it in his heart. Hearing Fan Yu talk about ordering in China at this time, he was a little moved.

"You mean the c919 that was tested last year?" Unexpectedly, Nie Yunjie also knew this, and quickly confirmed it to Fan Yu.

What Fan Yu was talking about was this large airliner developed by AVIC, and nodded, "Yes, it is this model. At that time, I happened to come into contact with relevant materials. From the perspective of safety, it is not bad. It’s not bad compared to some Boeing models, and it’s quite suitable for us.”

"If you want to talk about c919, I know a little bit." Xu Ziling took the words, c919 is the first domestic model to enter the field of international large-scale passenger aircraft. For some time last year, news and media reports were overwhelming. At that time, he also I see, it’s just that this is civil aviation, and it has nothing to do with him, so I didn’t go into details, “I heard that this model seems to have a lot of orders now, and the first one will be delivered in October this year, and now it’s October , Why haven’t you heard any relevant reports? Could something be wrong.”

"Is there such a thing? I don't know. I only read the relevant documents at that time, but I didn't know about the specifics." Fan Yu said in surprise, and at the same time cast her eyes on Nie Yunjie.

Nie Yunjie saw her looking at him, of course he knew what she meant, and shook his head, "This project was led by the former Prime Minister during his term of office. My grandfather has a good relationship with him, so I only remember it. Like you, I only want to I know the fur, but I don't know the specific situation."

"Then who among you is familiar with AVIC? Ask about it? If there is a problem, we can't blindly support domestic production." Xu Ziling realized that something must have happened here, otherwise such a big thing, the media couldn't ignore it. It will be reported. You must know that this is definitely a good opportunity for a company to hype. It is impossible for the people of AVIC to give up for no reason.

Yang Kaiming, Li Cheng and the others must not be familiar with them. Xu Ziling said this to Nie Yunjie and Fan Yu, who are from the capital, because the headquarters of AVIC is in the capital. people know.

Disappointingly, several people did not know people from AVIC, they looked at me and I looked at you, and finally shook their heads together, expressing that they did not know anyone very familiar with AVIC.

"Then you can directly contact them in the name of the military factory, and tell them that we want to order a business jet, will they accept it?"

As long as there are no safety hazards, Xu Ziling is still willing to buy domestically produced planes. Besides, this is just his own guesswork. He can't say for sure. He can't stop buying AVIC planes because of this inexplicable suspicion, so he asked Fan Yu to contact him first and take a look over there. What would you say.

It is not difficult to make a phone call. You can find it by looking for it on AVIC's phone. Fan Yu is also used to Xu Ziling's vigorous and decisive style of handling things. After answering, he immediately found the number. The phone call passed.

Of course, the operator in charge of external calls will not be a high-ranking person. Fan Yu wanted to order an aircraft in the name of the Red Star Military Factory, but the other party immediately said that he did not have this authority, and said to transfer her to the relevant personnel. Now The main thing was to inquire about the news, Fan Yu naturally didn't care, after a while, a person who claimed to be an account manager of AVIC was replaced on the phone.

Outsiders don't know what the Red Star Military Factory has, but since it was built, helicopters and fighter jets have taken off and landed from time to time, which have been seen by some military fans, and some long-distance photos have been taken. Coupled with the exposure of "Fierce Dragon", let The military factory has a certain reputation in the country, and the other party was very polite when he learned that it was Fan Yu's identity, but after talking about ordering business jets, this person didn't say anything substantive. It's just that people from the military factory can go to them to talk first, or they can send people over.

The phone is hands-free, and everyone in the office heard what the other party said. Seeing the attitude of the other party, you know that there is really something unknown. After all, the original price of a large passenger plane is the lowest. Hundreds of millions, plus the conversion into a private business jet, that is definitely not a small order, but the other party did not show any enthusiasm for the transaction. It would be strange if there were no problems.

"Forget it, AVIC is probably in trouble." Seeing Fan Yu hang up the phone politely, Xu Ziling gave up the idea of ​​buying c919.

Fan Yu didn't give up so quickly, ignored Xu Ziling's words, but said to him: "Aren't you very good at airplanes? Why don't I just ask my dad, if there is a small problem, you can help them solve it." , maybe there will be a discounted price at that time.”

"This is a good idea." Li Cheng on the side immediately became excited when he heard Fan Yu's words, "You helped them solve their problem, and it's not impossible to get us a fight for free."

……

Just daydream, a plane according to their requirements will cost more than 1 million yuan, will they be willing to give it away?Xu Ziling curled his lips. He really didn't expect much from him. Instead, as Fan Yu said, it would be more realistic to give them a discount to solve their problems.

"I don't want to talk about free, but this method can indeed be considered. Large aircraft are really a pain for our country. Why don't we ask first, and if we can solve it, help them solve it?"

Yang Kaiming also expressed his opinion, "Large passenger planes are just like our transport planes, they are both a tragedy."

What he said was a bit sad, but Xu Ziling knew that what he said was true. Looking at the transport planes used by the army now, the only few large transport planes in the army are still imported, and none of them are produced in China. In terms of load, the heavy-duty transport aircraft is not even comparable to the transport helicopters produced by military factories.

He had been thinking about strengthening his combat power before, and Xu Ziling's attention had been on fighter jets, and he really hadn't given much thought to this kind of logistical transport plane. Yang Kaiming's mention of these really reminded him.

After thinking about it, he said to everyone: "Should we also consider a large aircraft project? This thing can be used for military purposes, or it can be converted into a civilian airliner. It has a good prospect and is also a necessary guy in the army."

……

Although everyone sitting here is used to his sudden idea, everyone was stunned when they heard him like this. He was talking about buying a business jet just now, how could he change his mind in the blink of an eye? OK, do you want to join the big aircraft project?

The large aircraft project is indeed a shortcoming in China, but it has already been planned, and it has already achieved results such as c919. Now it is necessary for the military factory to do this again?This thing is not like fighter jets, helicopters, etc. They don't have any experience, and the investment in this project is huge, is it necessary?

At this moment, everyone is thinking about it in their hearts.

"What good idea do you have?" Others will be scruples about Xu Ziling's ideas, but Yang Ruolan will not. It's hard for others to say, but she can oppose Xu Ziling's suggestion without the slightest reason. The financial pressure of building a port is actually quite high. If there is another large aircraft project, it will definitely not be able to handle it all at once. I thought about this issue in my heart, but I thought that since Xu Ziling raised this issue, he should have some specific ideas. , so instead of objecting as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked him.
