Bai Hao waited until eight o'clock in the morning in the beautiful country, California time, to call Catherine. It turned out that Catherine was not in California, but went to the Western Continent to negotiate with a company in the bunker country about technology exchange and sharing.
Fortunately, eight o'clock in the morning in California is five o'clock in the afternoon in bunker country.
Bai Hao waited for more than an hour and contacted Catherine who had just returned to the hotel in the bunker country at around 6 p.m.
"Dear, I have something to ask you."
"If something happens, don't contact me if you have nothing to do. Only call if something happens." Catherine complained.
Bai Hao put on a smile, even if Catherine couldn't see it, he still smiled and said: "Well, international long distance is particularly troublesome, you have to be considerate of me. Serious things, really, serious things."
"Okay, you say."
After Bai Hao briefly told the story of his encounter with Lu Jieming, Catherine asked seriously: "Bai Hao, do you think it is necessary for me to tell my grandpa the price of the plane, or is my grandpa interested in asking?"
What’s the price of the small plane?”
"No, but you can't rule out that Jeff said it." Bai Hao reacted, no wonder he felt something was wrong.
Catherine asked secondly: "Okay, let's bypass Jeff's part. Let me ask you again, since you know that agricultural machinery sales company, do you think they have the ability to conduct any kind of inspection on the aircraft?"
"No." Bai Hao answered firmly.
Inspecting aircraft should be a job for professionals.
Catherine asked the third question: "Also, do you think a consignment agent selling agricultural machinery can apply for FAA certification for you?"
"I feel like they can't do it."
Catherine then smiled: "Not too stupid."
Bai Hao asked: "So, what is the truth?"
Catherine thought for a while: "I guess they are also doing things for others. Or there are other reasons, so you can ask more. Also, let me tell you something. I feel that this is the truth about the plane."
"you say."
Catherine said: "Some people are interested in airplanes, but they have nothing to do with that agricultural machinery company. But I don't know what happened to that agricultural machinery sales company, and I have no interest in guessing. What I know is that I bought two
The company that built the small plane was Goodge, and they bought it for Sonic."
"How is that possible?" Bai Hao felt a little unbelievable: "What kind of company is Soundwave? Is it buying this small plane to use it as a target in the sky?"
"no."
Bai Hao asked urgently: "What is that?"
Catherine replied: "I don't know. They bought it because the other party is a big company and has some business dealings with our Haas. Now that I have made the offer, I can't refuse. What's more, if I need it, you can build a few more."
That’s it. But since you mentioned it, I’m a little interested, so I’ll ask.”
"Okay, I'll wait for your call."
The waiting time always passes very slowly.
Bai Hao was puzzled as to why Goodge Company bought two inconspicuous small planes for Sonic Company.
Ten minutes.
Bai Hao felt like an hour had passed.
Finally, Catherine's call came back.
"Bai, there's good news."
"I like good news."
Catherine said slowly: "It seems that you have underestimated that small plane. Goodge Company has taken a fancy to the extremely exquisite production process of that plane. Although it is simple, many things can be seen in the eyes of professionals. So
Explain, two five-axis machines are placed in front of you, I believe you can see the differences in various details of these two five-axis machines, as well as their advantages and disadvantages."
"No problem, even more than you think."
"Yes, professional people can see more things than we imagine. First of all, in their eyes, that small plane is a delicate work of art."
When he mentioned this, Bai Hao was happy: "It is specially made for you, it must be of excellent workmanship."
"That's right, so there is a business. If you are willing, you may have to invest some money in the early stage. Goodge Company is an aviation parts supplier. They provide a large number of products to the three major aircraft companies. That small aircraft is actually still useful.
The folding and retractable landing gear has a very delicate structure.”
Catherine began to tell Bai Hao about the incident.
"It's the landing gear. A technician from Goodge Company was on vacation. On their way to Forest Park, their private plane saw the small plane piloted by my grandfather. Their seven-seater planes all have fixed landing gear, and
The small single-passenger plane that my grandfather flew had no landing gear."
Bai Hao probably understood.
The landing gear designed at that time was foot-operated. There was a pedal on the foot, which could be retracted by pressing four times. It also had a spring-opening device. All it took was one kick to lower the landing gear.
This design is firstly to save fuel when cruising, and secondly, it will not be caught by short trees when flying at ultra-low altitude.
Catherine continued: "Because of this, they were interested, and after research, they were very interested. I was not in California, so they contacted my father, and then sold two aircraft to them for US$60,000."
"Where's the good news? I want to hear the specifics and details." Bai Hao began to care about the good news.
Catherine said: "It costs money. They see that the small aircraft is well-crafted and are interested in trying to cooperate with the nacelle, landing gear and wake board."
Bai Hao asked: "What is a nacelle?"
"You are not a professional terminology for large aircraft, and neither am I. If you ask the people who help us build the aircraft, they will understand. I only know the professional term nacelle, which is used to protect the engine. It should have many parts, and they work together.
I don’t know whether the content is a complete set or a specific component.”
"You probably know it, it's the engine casing."
"It seems so, but it shouldn't be all, or only."
"Understood. Just understand the general meaning. Professionals know how many parts this thing has. I can roughly understand what it is. Anyway, I haven't dismantled it."
Aircraft, this thing is definitely cross-industry for Bai Hao.
Aircraft also belongs to the manufacturing industry.
Tractors and trailers are also included in the manufacturing industry.
However, these two products, which both belong to the manufacturing industry, seem to be quite different.
Catherine asked: "If you are interested, then I will ask Goodge Company to send relevant documents. If you make the tested components according to the standards, there will be a letter of intent. Once the standards are met, there will be orders. Let's put it this way, I can't help you.
, because I don’t understand all the details of the aviation field, including how to do business.”
Bai Hao actually doesn't understand, but it doesn't affect his business, let alone making a fortune.
"Understood. Two laymen are talking about a business worth hundreds of millions. I only know that no matter what kind of business in the aviation field, there are many Mane."
After saying this, both Catherine and Bai Hao laughed.
