What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 107: You are asked to promote the arsenal ship, but you go to buy an aircraft carrier?
"Oh my god!"

To Tang Wen's surprise, when he saw the full plane, the person who was most excited was not the pilot, but the dispatcher.

Dai Zhenzhong took a quick glance and saw that the hangar was completely packed, and the concrete floor outside was also filled with planes covered with waterproof cloth. He almost fell down because he couldn't stand.

He raised his finger tremblingly:
"Can these all fly?"

Tang Wen nodded proudly. "It's definitely flyable, and the parts are in excellent condition. They've been meticulously maintained, so every one of them is flawless. If anything breaks, I'll just replace it for you."

“Do all the planes have to fly when the scenic area is operating?”

"Of course, there will be at least several thousand tourists. I'm afraid the current 32 aircraft are not enough, so I will add more in the future."

Hearing this answer, Dai Zhenzhong rolled his eyes and fell straight back.

Liu Dongfang quickly grabbed hold of him, and others also rushed over to help.

"Xiao Dai, hold on, this is just a small amount, you can do it!"

It would have been better if he hadn't said it. As soon as he said it, Dai Zhenzhong jumped up and cursed at everyone:

"Just focus on flying. The dispatchers have a lot to worry about! With so many planes, do you know how to manage them? 32 planes, that's more than an entire aviation regiment!"

Dai Zhenzhong pointed at the runway, then at himself: "One runway, 32 aircraft, operating an aviation regiment. Do you think I have what it takes to be a regiment commander?"

Liu Dongfang quickly advised: "Xiao Dai, you are a handsome man. You can command an aviation division, not to mention an aviation regiment."

Tang Wen seemed to realize this as well and quickly stepped forward to explain:
"Full-scale operation is something we'll have to do later. Plus, there are six seaplanes that don't occupy the runway, and they still need ground crews. For now, we can only fly a dozen or so a day. If we run out of people, we can always hire more, and the runway can be expanded!"

Dai Zhenzhong's expression brightened considerably. "If we really want to operate at full capacity, we'll need at least three runways and five or more dispatchers."

Tang Wen promised to solve the scheduling problem, and then everyone dispersed and couldn't wait to see the plane.

Huang Lin saw the F4F with its wings folded in the hangar at a glance, his eyes lit up and he ran over.

The others also had their own goals and quickly took action.

Nie Qiang looked around and finally walked towards the B25 that Liu Dongfang was approaching, and Tang Wen followed closely behind.

After tearing off the colored strips of cloth, the B25 with dense rivets was exposed in front of everyone, and the propeller on the engine was still shining with metallic luster.

Liu Dongfang skillfully found the hatch, opened it, and got in, muttering:

"This is different from the one we shot down before."

Nie Qiang was not as familiar with these aircraft as the pilots, but after observing them for a while, he couldn't help but marvel at them.

Getting a B25 is much more troublesome than those small single-engine aircraft. The maintenance and operation difficulties are not on the same level.

He looked up at the glass cockpit in the nose of the plane and noticed the hole in it and the extra-thick bulletproof glass.

If nothing unexpected happens, the original position there should have been an M2 Lao Gan Ma.

If Liu Kan hadn't said that this was a domestic replica, he would even doubt that this was the original machine.

The B25's nose uses a large glass cockpit with excellent light transmittance, so you can see the details inside clearly even when standing outside.

Liu Dongfang had already sat in the driver's seat, holding the joystick and questioning his life.

Tang Wen: "Is this light twin-engine aircraft difficult to master?"

Nie Qiang nodded without hesitation:
“If it was a single-engine aircraft over there, I would dare to take off after just a few hours of familiarizing myself with the cockpit, but bombers are different.

At least a three-person crew must have undergone effective training on the ground and be led by a pilot with experience in flying passenger planes and bombers before we can try it. We only have one H-5 pilot among us, and he needs to be trained for at least half a month.

Boss Tang, you need a professional team to operate it, otherwise too many planes will definitely cause trouble."

Tang Wen: "How professional?"

Nie Qiang pondered for a moment, then suddenly heard the roar of engines overhead. Looking up, he saw a white line stretching out. "I remember there's an airport in Goose City. The air traffic control there should be quite professional."

Tang Wen took note of it silently. He knew how to poach people.

At this time, Dai Zhenzhong, who had just returned from the control tower, ran over and complained bitterly the moment he saw Tang Wen:
"There's nothing in the tower except the radio, and it's not high enough to provide effective command visibility. It needs to be raised.

I just checked the airspace under the scenic area's jurisdiction. It's too large, and we need air-to-air radar. We can't do it without radar."

Tang Wen: "The radar performance requirements shouldn't be high, right?"

"It's fine as long as it works. This isn't military equipment. As long as it can see the target and mark the route, it's fine."

Tang Wen knew that the Hornet was equipped with radar, so he thought it should be enough, so he nodded in agreement:

"Wait a few days, the radar will be ready soon. What else do you need?"

"Wait, there's no fuel depot at this airport."

Tang Wen slapped his forehead and realized that operating "several" planes was not easy.

……

The day after the aviation group arrived, Tang Yi and Li Zhengyang returned with Xiangjiang's truck.

Because Tang Wen said that there was stock available, the Anti-Smuggling Bureau directly got two trucks, which were enough to transport the dismantled seaplane away.

As for the flight, Gaijin doesn't have to worry about it, just a simple maintenance manual will be provided.

In addition to earning 800,000 yuan, Tang Wen was more concerned about the international information brought back from Hong Kong.

Li Zhengyang followed Tang Wen's instructions to find electronic manufacturers in the current market and collect as much information as possible.

Tang Wen felt the difficulty as soon as he saw the briefings he had collected:
The companies he remembers are no longer makeshift teams, with valuations of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, while he can't even remember other small companies.

Li Zhengyang alone can collect information from various channels in Hong Kong about hundreds of 3D companies with products on the market. Most of them don’t even have Chinese translations, and other information is even less.

As for semiconductor manufacturing companies, since the current chip manufacturing process has not yet entered the 100 nanometer range, there are an outrageous number of various semiconductor factories. Even Motorola has built a semiconductor factory called Wanli Semiconductor in Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable.

Electronic technology in the 90s was advancing rapidly, and he didn't know which one had the most potential.

Headache.

Tang Wen originally wanted to try to acquire a few companies, but now it seems a bit troublesome.

As for the financial information, it needs further interpretation and cannot be understood in the short term.

After finishing his instructions, Li Zhengyang began to talk about the interesting things he encountered in Hong Kong:
"Boss, you know what? Giant Steve said he wanted to donate warships to the country, and many Chinese people said they wanted to donate!"

Tang Wen: “???”

Li Zhengyang actually pulled out a copy of Hong Kong's Ming Pao from his clothes. The headline on it was very scary:

Shi Juzhu Wants to Spend All His Fortune to Buy an Aircraft Carrier as His Headquarters

Although it was in traditional Chinese, Tang Wen was still shocked the moment he opened it.

Looking at the title, I saw that it was just published yesterday and is still very popular.

He quickly scanned the text and was completely stunned:

According to the newspaper, Shi Juzhu recently made a public statement that he has decided to raise a huge amount of money to buy back the "Varyag" aircraft carrier from the Black Sea Shipyard.

The article did not mention that the purchased aircraft carrier would be donated to the navy. Shi Juzhu only said that the unfinished semi-finished product would be towed back to the country, then transformed into the new headquarters of Giant Group and put into commercial operation.

But in the eyes of others, what's the point of a businessman buying an aircraft carrier? He must donate it to the navy!
