Chapter 439 The King Who Changed the World (Part 2)
After the painful lessons of Concorde, the world seems to have reached a consensus, that is, the current subsonic aircraft has met today's travel needs, and deliberately operating supersonic passenger aircraft can only be thankless.
Supersonic passenger aircraft have many disadvantages. First of all, the research and development costs and manufacturing costs are very high. Secondly, the energy consumption is too high. The faster the aircraft flies, the greater its resistance. To overcome the huge resistance, it takes more money.
If an ordinary airplane is riding a bicycle slowly, then a supersonic passenger plane is kicking like crazy. Therefore, the energy consumption will increase exponentially; thirdly, the maintenance cost is also extremely huge. The maintenance cost of a supersonic passenger plane
Astonishingly high, it flies in the sky, which is equivalent to doing a Transformer. The heat will cause very obvious changes in the body of the aircraft.
To sum up the above points, there is no room for the development of supersonic passenger aircraft at all. The cost is too high and the flight cost will increase exponentially. This is unaffordable for most consumers. Compared with so much additional expenditure,
, the little time wasted by ordinary planes is not a big problem at all.
It is precisely for this reason that the Concorde ended miserably and withdrew from the stage of history. From that day on, no unscrupulous aircraft manufacturing company dared to develop a supersonic passenger aircraft again. In addition, no airline had the courage to develop a supersonic passenger aircraft again.
Interested in operating supersonic passenger aircraft.
However, Zhang Wenhao actually announced publicly that Dongchen would develop and operate a supersonic passenger aircraft. Its specifications would even be higher than that of the Concorde passenger aircraft, and its cruising speed could even reach 3,600 kilometers. This speed is even higher than that of most fighter jets.
, cannot be compared with it! What kind of high-end routes should be operated at such a speed? What kind of high-end people can afford the huge cost of such a flight.
Zhang Wenhao didn't care about people's suspicions. He had already made up his mind about supersonic passenger aircraft. The Concorde was only the initial prototype of supersonic passenger aircraft and the only generation of supersonic passenger aircraft. After that, society temporarily stopped the development of supersonic passenger aircraft.
Although the pace of the supersonic passenger aircraft is increasing, this does not mean that it will never be mentioned in the future. Society is always developing. Even if the supersonic passenger aircraft is not developed now, it will still make its debut one day in the future, and it will reappear again.
The supersonic passenger plane that debuted is not comparable to the Concorde. Dongchen is sure to minimize the disadvantages of supersonic passenger planes that are generally recognized, but at the same time, it will further enhance its advantages, which is fast! Extremely fast.
!
However, what everyone is more interested in is actually the fact that Dongchen will develop its own passenger aircraft. And according to the demonstration just now, the whole world is looking forward to Dongchen's passenger aircraft. Just now, Dongchen's positioning system assists the aircraft to fully operate.
The video of autonomous flight has already allowed people to see the prospects of Dongchen aircraft.
Zhang Wenhao said enthusiastically on the stage: "So far, Dongchen has launched many products, many new products that are leading the world and bring new experiences to society. I believe that Dongchen will definitely not be the best in the research and development and production of passenger aircraft.
It will disappoint the majority of users. I think it won’t be long before everyone has the opportunity to fly to and from all over the world on Dongchen’s planes. Thank you again for your presence today, thank you.”
Having said this, Zhang Wenhao bowed to the guests and then said: "Soon we will hold a press conference indoors. All invited media reporters are invited to move there. The press conference will start on time at one o'clock in the afternoon.
"
Zhang Wenhao came to the backstage. The core employees of Dongchen were already excitedly waiting for his arrival. In the largest backstage room, Long Xiaoyue held an oversized bottle of champagne and said to Zhang Wenhao: "Wenhao, what are you doing today?"
The whole world has been shocked again, and your personal wish has taken a step forward. Today is a good day. This bottle of champagne is specially prepared for you. Come and open it yourself."
Zhang Wenhao took the champagne with a smile, looked around the crowd, and said: "Today is our big day in Dongchen. Today I have released my bold words to the whole world. What is left is how to fulfill these bold words as soon as possible. I am alone
It can't be completed, so we still need everyone's help. I believe that as long as everyone works together, Dongchen's tomorrow will be more brilliant!"
Everyone was excited and urged Zhang Wenhao to open the champagne quickly. Zhang Wenhao opened the champagne and poured it down the pyramid wine glasses. After filling all the wine glasses, everyone picked up a glass and gathered around to clink glasses.
, Zhang Wenhao shouted: "Dongchen, the top of the world!"
Others also shouted excitedly, "Top of the world!"
Everyone clinked glasses and drank all the wine happily. This day was another new peak for Dongchen. No one in Dongchen was unhappy. Zhang Wenhao's own ambitions had reached this point.
Most of it has been completed, and each of the remaining goals is a goal that can make the world tremble!
Dongchen will continue to go further on this peak road, so far that all the companies behind it will find it difficult to catch up. What Zhang Wenhao wants to create is a giant company that no one can catch up with!
The staff brought the meals that had been prepared. In the largest room, Dongchen's core staff, Zhang Wenhao's parents, Su Ruoran and her mother Nie Minhui, as well as Lei Lei and her son, all participated in this meeting.
Before the slightly shabby celebration banquet, Zhang Wenhao said: "Because there will be a press conference at one o'clock, this celebration banquet is just a warm-up. After all today's tasks are completed, all of us will arrive in the evening
Go to the manor, where I have prepared a carnival tonight. No matter who you are, there is only one task tonight, and that is to have fun and be happy!"
Waves of excited cheers erupted in the room. A group of reporters tried to capture some exclusive news from a distance, but they couldn't get any chance to move forward. In the end, they could only obey the arrangement and go to the reception venue, and Dongchen also
Meals were prepared there for the reporters. After eating and playing, the press conference began immediately.
The process of Zhang Wenhao answering reporters' questions has always been a process that global audiences like to watch. Zhang Wenhao always does not follow the routine, shocking the world time and time again, even his words, his tone, his
What he did was incompatible with all previous businessmen. It is this kind of person who can bring extraordinary surprises to everyone in front of the media.
After lunch, Zhang Wenhao rushed to the venue, where all the reporters were already waiting for Zhang Wenhao to arrive. At one o'clock, Zhang Wenhao appeared in front of everyone on time, and then sat alone on the podium.
In the past, Zhang Wenhao would bring several Dongchen executives with him on stage. However, all the attention of reporters was on Zhang Wenhao. Often, after a press conference, reporters would ask Zhang Wenhao questions throughout the whole process. In order to prevent Dongchen from
The senior executives felt embarrassed, so Zhang Wenhao simply went to the press conference alone.
Seeing Zhang Wenhao coming up, the reporters all cheered up. Six staff members were holding microphones around the reporters. Once they started asking questions, Zhang Wenhao pointed to which media, and which media was qualified to ask questions. After all, all the reporters present today
There are too many media, and Zhang Wenhao simply cannot cope with taking turns asking questions.
The press conference officially began, and Zhang Wenhao pointed his finger at the CCTV reporters. After all, this was an international press conference, and the first person to ask questions must be the leading domestic media.
After the CCTV reporter got the microphone, he stood up and asked: "Mr. Zhang, today's press conference shocked all of us. I think Dongchen has led the entire society to a large extent.
Development, then, I would like to ask you, what qualities does your ideal Dongchen need to possess? Or, to what extent can Dongchen develop to make you feel satisfied?"
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "Dongchen has already become the most successful company in the world, whether in terms of scale, revenue or influence on the world. In the eyes of many people, Dongchen has reached its peak
Top, but that's not the case for me."
As he spoke, Zhang Wenhao said: "The peak I pursue is not the peak by comparison. It is not that others stand at a height of less than 10,000 meters, but I feel satisfied when I stand at a height of 10,000 meters. I am satisfied with Dongchen's
Expectations do not include any comparison. Throughout the entire process of my work on Dongchen, I will not compare with any company, not BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Apple, Samsung, or Boeing or Airbus.
In comparison, I know what height I want to reach, and I just strive towards the height I expect. As for how far other companies have fallen behind, it is not a matter of concern to me."
Speaking of this, Zhang Wenhao said calmly: "I think Dongchen is still a little short of the height I want. Therefore, Dongchen will not stop until I am satisfied. I can't clearly say what height is right."
It’s what I want, follow your heart, I think it’s the best choice.”
Then, Zhang Wenhao chose the CNN reporter. After the CNN reporter stood up, he asked: "Mr. Zhang, you were a strategic partner with Boeing before. At that time, Dongchen's involvement in civil aviation airliners was limited to engines.
At that time, we also saw the close relationship between Dongchen and Boeing. So, now Dongchen itself is going to enter the manufacturing industry of civil aviation aircraft, which is equivalent to Dongchen replacing the previous Airbus and becoming the current Boeing.
Competitor, then, I would like to ask Mr. Zhang, will you terminate your cooperation with Boeing because it has become a competitor?"
Zhang Wenhao smiled and said: "I don't rule out this option. After all, competition is cruel. If Dongchen was Google back then, then Dongchen now is inclined to develop in the direction of Apple.
We hope that our core technology will only be used in our own products, just like Apple has never disclosed the IOS system to any other company. Of course, this is just an idea. I dare not tell you whether it will be promoted in this way in the end.
Guarantee, however, we will try to coordinate with Boeing on the healthiest competition model."
The reporter from CNN couldn't help but said: "I have another question. I wonder if you can answer it."
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said, "Please tell me."
The reporter from CNN said: "We have just seen several sectors of Dongchen satellite positioning system in the civilian field. One is Dongchen's own mobile device, one is handheld positioning terminal, and the other is vehicle positioning. Just now you also
The word "civilian" is mentioned, and the civilian version deliberately cuts off its altitude support. Does this mean that Dongchen has also developed a military version of the positioning system for the military? "
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "Even if I deny this issue, you will never believe it, so I can only admit that the reason why we castrate civilian terminals' support for altitude is mainly to not put pressure on China's national defense.
And since we have this system, there is no reason not to open it to our defense sector."
The CNN reporter nodded his thanks and then sat down. Immediately afterwards, the British BBC reporter who was called asked: "Mr. Zhang, the question I want to ask is whether the civilian positioning module of the Dongchen positioning system will be used by other people."
Authorized by the manufacturer? Is it possible to open module authorization like GPS so that it can be used on any brand of mobile phones, navigation systems and positioning terminals?”
Zhang Wenhao shook his head decisively and said: "No, this is Dongchen's core technology. Therefore, Dongchen will restrict the modules. For the convenience of civilian use, Dongchen's positioning module will only be applied to Dongchen's products. This is okay.
Definitely."
The BBC reporter couldn't help but said: "If this is the case, I think many companies in the same industry will face life and death choices. Isn't this a bit too cruel?"
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "There is nothing cruel about this. We use our unique technology ourselves. If this is considered cruel, then what is not cruel? Our property rights protection is also to improve Dongchen
Product competitiveness, and we don’t want to reduce the specifications and scale of our products. To put it simply, if I authorize the module, do you think other mobile phone manufacturers can control such sophisticated positioning systems and navigation services? Not to mention
We also have a 4D map function. Ordinary smartphones simply do not have sufficient data processing capabilities and image processing capabilities. If I license it to them, it will be tantamount to lowering Dongchen’s product specification requirements.”
There was a look of helplessness in the audience. What Zhang Wenhao said is indeed true. Dongchen’s system cannot be handled by ordinary mobile phone hardware. The processing power is not just one level lower. Dongchen’s high-precision positioning system cannot process data.
, the response speed must also be able to fully keep up, which is not something that ordinary processors and chips can achieve.
Zhang Wenhao's words basically announced the death penalty for all positioning terminal manufacturers in the world. Old navigation service providers such as AutoNavi and Kaili De, and many companies specializing in the production of navigation hardware will almost all face bankruptcy and closure. This is an ironclad fact.
Although it seems cruel, Zhang Wenhao will never show any mercy. This is not because he has attacked these companies, but because these companies will eventually be forgotten by consumers.
A reporter from a Hong Kong media was asked to ask a question. A rather cute woman in her twenties stood up and asked Zhang Wenhao in a blunt question: "Mr. Zhang, I never understand Dongchen's attitude towards Zhang Wenhao."
The restrictions on Hong Kong airlines, the SAR and the mainland are integrated, so why is it that many countries have already obtained Dongchen engines, but Hong Kong is still within the restricted sales area?"
The entire venue looked at the girl. The girl was not nervous at all. She stared at Zhang Wenhao with her big eyes. Zhang Wenhao laughed and said: "There are not enough things to sell, so I will naturally divide the various areas and arrange them in order."
, are being sold one by one. In terms of market size and population coverage, Hong Kong is not at the top. If sorted by initial letters, Hong Kong's X is ranked very low. I didn't say I won't sell it.
You guys, why are you so anxious?"
The female reporter said angrily: "You are completely retaliating because of Hong Kong's milk powder purchase restrictions!"
Zhang Wenhao couldn't help but laugh and said: "There is no talk of retaliation, but there is a certain element of punishment. What I want to express to my compatriots in the Special Administrative Region is this. You can look down on me, then I can also look down on you. Since
You think that many times you won't be able to use me at all, so when one day I become useful, you'd better not have any ideas about me. The feelings between people are mutual, and you are obsessed with someone.
You have been indifferent to people for too long and in the end you seem to have gained nothing except getting hurt. I think everyone can understand this, but why don't you understand it?"
The female reporter was speechless by Zhang Wenhao. After a while, she said angrily: "The situations on both sides are completely different. We also have our own difficulties! You are being unreasonable!"
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "I also have my own difficulties. Moreover, I don't like to reason, I like to talk about strength. Now that I am reasoning with you, it is already an exception. If I really don't talk to you,
It makes sense, then I can completely block Dongchen’s supply to the special zone market with one order. At that time, if you say that I am unreasonable, I will nod and admit it very generously."
The female reporter was really speechless. Zhang Wenhao didn't let her down at all, and his words were very decisive and even a bit threatening. If she confronts Zhang Wenhao again at this time, this person who is uneasy about playing tricks will
It is very possible that because of his temporary anger, he vented his anger on the entire Hong Kong market. Who is he? He is the person who blocked Japan, South Korea and Australia and made these three countries miserable. In front of him, Hong Kong has no one at all.
Any ability to resist, this person is the king of the business world, he is powerful and hegemonic, but he makes you unable to refuse, messing with him is tantamount to seeking death! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better updated.
