Chapter 298, aircraft manufacturers who sharpen their knives 1
"Hurry up and put it into production before the end of the month. The current economic situation is not good and many people are unemployed. We are counting on the aircraft manufacturing industry to solve the employment problem on a large scale as soon as possible."
After visiting the entire production base, Liu Yuan knew what was going on, so he gave Tang Peng and Sun Zilong instructions.
Despite the rapid development and rapid growth of Xinghai Technology, at the level of the entire Guo family, the economy is actually not good because it has been impacted by the global financial and economic crisis.
Because the Green Coin lost its status as an international currency and the economy collapsed, a huge economic crisis and tsunami hit the global economic and financial markets.
The entire global economy has regressed for more than ten years. Under the disaster, the impact we suffered was also very large.
Also, due to the emergence of aircraft, the real estate industry has completely collapsed. Countless real estate companies have gone bankrupt, houses cannot be sold, and many related industries have also fallen into a freezing point. In this industry alone, a lot of people have lost their jobs.
The development of the internationalization of Guobi has also seriously affected foreign trade. Many foreign trade industries that originally relied on cheap labor have been greatly impacted. A large number of traditional foreign trade industries have gone bankrupt and closed down, causing a huge wave of unemployment.
Under various circumstances, the unemployment rate is very high, and many college graduates cannot find jobs at all. Therefore, Xinghai Technology’s recruitment has also made countless people scratch their heads and want to come in.
In this era, it is very, very difficult to find a job with a high salary. Even people are willing to go to Xinghai Technology's factory to drive screws.
Although major aircraft manufacturers are now recruiting a large number of people, they also know very well that they will not have too many idle people until the aircraft is officially produced and sold.
Only when aircraft production begins on a large scale and their aircraft can be sold continuously will they continue to expand their scale and production capacity and recruit more workers.
The number of people currently recruited may be less than one-tenth of the expected number. Xinghai Technology has rapidly expanded its scale and number of people because its aircraft are selling like hotcakes and it has to shoulder the task of producing anti-gravity engines.
In just over a year, millions of people were recruited.
"Don't worry, boss, we will definitely be able to complete production before the end of the month."
Sun Zilong solemnly promised.
"Okay, let's notify the major aircraft manufacturers of the progress and news."
Liu Yuan nodded and said.
"Yes~"
Tang Peng and Sun Zilong replied in unison again.
.....
At a production base of BYD Aircraft Manufacturing Group, Lao Wang is inspecting his production line and several aircraft developed by his company.
"Mr. Wang, this aircraft is the Pegasus aircraft developed by our company."
BYAT Aircraft Technical Director Zhang Xiaoping pointed to a fully finalized aircraft and introduced it in detail.
"The power is a hybrid of the A001 anti-gravity engine produced by Xinghai Technology and the A001 small aeroengine produced by Xinghai Technology. The fastest speed can reach Mach 5, which is more than 6,000 kilometers per hour!"
Lao Wang looked at the Tianma aircraft in front of him. The logo used by this aircraft was not that of BYD. It was an independently created brand and operated independently.
Obviously, Lao Wang and the others are also very aware that BYD's brand seems to be a little inconsistent with tall aircraft, so they simply create a new brand separately, which will be more conducive to the operation of the mid-range market.
and development.
In the past, when we built cars, BYAT's cars were always low-end brands and could not enter the mid-range market. Now that we are building aircraft, naturally we will not dare to be the same as before and just hang out in the low-end market. We want to go to
Squeeze out the mid- to high-end market.
"Hmm~"
Lao Wang looked at the aircraft in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
The overall look is full of streamlines and curves, with a sense of technology. It looks much more comfortable than the Freelander and Sun Walker aircraft of Xinghai Technology.
"Has it been tested?"
After thinking for a while, Lao Wang asked.
"We have gone through all aspects of testing, and there are no problems at all in terms of energy consumption. It is similar to several aircraft from Xinghai Technology, and there are no problems in terms of safety."
"The positioning, navigation and communication system is also made by Xinghai Technology. It can be said that except for the differences in appearance and internal structure, it is actually similar to several models of Xinghai Technology in other aspects."
Zhang Xiaoping quickly replied.
"Can it be put into production at any time now?"
Lao Wang nodded with satisfaction. This is also a selling point. This is how we will advertise. Our aircraft are similar to those of Xinghai Technology, but the price is tens of thousands cheaper. It depends on your choice.
"It can be put into production at any time. 80% of all our parts are from Xinghai Technology parts suppliers, and the front part has been finalized."
"The suppliers have also built corresponding production lines and can provide us with the required parts at any time. Our own production lines have been debugged and the workers have been trained. They are waiting for Xinghai Technology's anti-gravity engines and
Aviation engines have been supplied on a large scale.”
Zhang Xiaoping nodded and said.
"That's good. Xinghai Technology is slow in doing things. This is already imminent. They are still implementing the eight-hour work system and have two days off on weekends."
After hearing this, Lao Wang knew what he was doing, and then complained about the efficiency of Xinghai Technology. In this era where everyone is 996, Xinghai Technology is still using the 865 work system, and the efficiency is very slow.
If it were placed by other companies, it would probably have already started supplying to major aircraft manufacturers.
"There is no way, they are a technology company, they play high-tech things, and they are very professional in everything. But I heard that their aircraft factory is already working overtime to produce."
Zhang Xiaoping said with a smile.
"Of course I will work overtime. Who can't live with money? As for the aircraft of Xinghai Technology, Freelander and Sun Walker are almost the same. One sells for hundreds of thousands, and the other sells for millions. I don't know where they are.
I am so confident that I feel that consumers are easily deceived or something.”
"However, it is said that the sales of Freelander aircraft are still very hot. Last month alone, more than 200,000 units were sold worldwide."
Lao Wang shook his head as he spoke. This is how it is in the mid-to-high-end market. Sometimes consumers just buy the expensive ones but not the right ones. Freelander and Sun Walker are similar in appearance, but rich people don't care about the money and insist on buying expensive ones.
Yeah, there's nothing you can do about it.
Just like the niche cars in the past, several cars were about the same size. The cheaper ones cost hundreds of thousands, and the expensive ones cost millions. That is, there was a line of letters under the logo. The other differences were not big at all, but there was still a market and they were still sold.
Very good.
Now this hand has been tricked by Xinghai Technology. The Freelander and Sun Walker aircraft are similar. They both have the same appearance as a high-speed rail bullet, but the front face of the Freelander is more streamlined and longer.
There is no difference in other aspects. The interior is more beautiful and high-end. The price of the Freelander is more than twice that of the Sun Walker, but it still sells very well.
There is nothing you can do.
"The current market is dominated by Xinghai Technology. There is no competition. Naturally, they can sell whatever they want. Of course, this has always been the case in the mid-to-high-end consumer market. It is just like those luxury goods. Sometimes
What sells is the brand.”
Zhang Xiaoping also sighed.
Then everyone came to a large vehicle that looked a bit like a high-speed train.
"Mr. Wang, this is the Shenlong brand anti-gravity city bus we have developed. It is similar to a high-speed rail train, but it only has one carriage that is 30 meters long. It can carry more than 100 people at a time. It is specially used to travel between cities.
Build a public transportation system in time.”
"It can also be used for rapid public transportation between cities and rural areas. I think it will definitely be a big seller."
Zhang Xiaoping pointed to the high-speed train-like aircraft in front of him and introduced it to Lao Wang with confidence.
Making buses is also a specialty of BYAT Group. Their electric buses are very popular all over the world, especially in Europe and the United States, where environmental protection, greenness and health are emphasized, electric buses are very popular.
popular.
Now that the aircraft has come out, they naturally will not forget their old profession and develop the public aircraft in front of them that is like a high-speed train.
“How is it performance-wise?”
Lao Wang nodded and asked.
"It uses the A002 anti-gravity engine, which has a large carrying capacity, but the speed is relatively slow. It can only reach Mach 3 at the fastest."
"The speed of Mach 3 is enough. What I am worried about now is the bus system between cities or the bus system in a large area and scope. Is it valuable? Is anyone willing to do this? If not
If so, it will be difficult to sell our aircraft."
Lao Wang is a little unsure. The public transportation system is generally within a city. The travel and exchanges between cities now rely on high-speed rail and airplanes.
I don’t know if this Shenlong brand aircraft can be a big seller.
Now is the golden age for the development of aircraft. A lot of manpower and material resources have been invested in making this thing. If it cannot be sold well, it will be a loss.
"It will definitely sell well, and in the future, more and more communications between a city and surrounding rural areas can rely on this kind of Shenlong aircraft."
"The future lifestyle will be to work in the city and live in the countryside, but not everyone is selling aircrafts, and there will inevitably be market demand for public transportation systems."
Zhang Xiaoping is very confident. He seems to have seen the future development trends and trends.
