Chapter 160 A Ready-Made Aircraft Manufacturing Team (Second Update, Please Subscribe and Vote)

"Li Song also mentioned equipment for producing airplanes?" the person in charge from Kyoto asked, swallowing hard.
"Ok!"

"However, Mr. Li said that the key core equipment requires a 50,000-ton hydraulic press!"

"So he hopes to be able to use our own 50,000-ton hydraulic press within the next three years!" Ma Shengli nodded.

"This shouldn't be a big problem!"

"I don't think there's a big problem, after all, they provided so much technical information, including detailed records of materials and processes."

"If they can't pull it off within three years, that would be a huge joke."

"We already have a research institute for hydraulic presses."

"It must be completed within three years!"

"We must urge them on!"

"I think the sooner the better. Many places are waiting for a 50,000-ton hydraulic press."

"These two planes are so beautiful!"

"It's a pity it's not a wide-body long-range passenger aircraft?" someone remarked.

Wide-body aircraft were all born in this era.

However, when the financial crisis hit, wide-body long-range passenger aircraft faced various problems.

"That's already incredible!"

"As for where the airport will be built, that's not something we can decide."

"You guys write the report right away, I'll fly to Kyoto myself to report on the work."

"The other side went all out this time, actually getting an 8,000-ton cargo ship!"

"Ask Li Song if they still want the gold."

“Although his successors need to achieve results, he can still use this time to build relationships!” said the person in charge from Kyoto.

"Ok!"

"I also think that these things are what we need more than a few tons of gold!"

"The technology that Li Song and his team have acquired from the mainland is of immeasurable value; it cannot be measured in gold."

"How much did the little notebook seller charge us for a black and white television production line?"

"In addition, there are various restrictions on technology transfer."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We know perfectly well that the technology and production lines they gave us are outdated products."

"There's a management committee blocking them, preventing them from selling advanced technology to us!"

"That's for the best, let's not buy it now!"

Ma Shengli and Section Chief Zhou quickly wrote a report. After the report was completed, the person in charge from Kyoto took a private plane to Kyoto to report.

Li Song also flew to Kyoto the next day.

Sitting on the plane, Section Chief Zhou thought about being able to ride in the new private jet with Li Song in the future, and it felt like a dream. He had never thought in his life that he could ride in a private jet.

Moreover, the design drawings of the private jet that Li Song brought looked too beautiful.

The higher authorities are currently discussing the issues that Li Song mentioned.

First, there's the issue of the 50,000-ton hydraulic press; no one can guarantee that.

Although we have the complete technology, relevant parties are also making every effort to conduct research.

However, no one can guarantee that you will fully master the technology and be able to produce the product!
In addition, there was the site of the aircraft manufacturing plant, and the other party also brought in some other equipment for aircraft production.

There are also design drawings and exterior views of two aircraft.

In addition, both aircraft are already in the process of applying for international patents.

This made the higher-ups feel like they were dreaming.

Because the progress was too fast.

Why are we suddenly starting to produce airplanes?

"We do have technicians who can manufacture aircraft!"

"Isn't there a plane manufacturing team that's facing disbandment?"

"Why not just send it to BMW's aircraft manufacturing plant!" said the leader of the higher-level department to the aircraft manufacturing team.

It is none other than the famous Y-10!
This aircraft has flown more than 130 times, but it has encountered too many problems.

Historically, this was partly due to funding constraints, and partly because some core processing equipment was unavailable.

For example, large, 10,000-ton-class hydraulic forging presses are needed to produce aircraft beams and landing gear. Additionally, McDonnell Douglas extended an olive branch at this time, proposing to assemble aircraft in Shanghai.

At the time, the idea at the top was to move from assembly to independent production.

Given the circumstances at the time, this decision was not wrong.

But who would have thought that the big brother in the north would just say it wouldn't work?

In the mid-1980s, the Northern Big Brother was no longer viable, which led to problems in its cooperation with McDonnell Douglas.

The reason why the US harvested the notebook was because in the mid-1980s, the US had already seen the fate of the big brother in the north.

So I harvested notebooks to replenish my own resources.

As for the mainland market, all cooperation gradually came to an end.

This includes the original plan to help us upgrade our J-8 fighter jets.

As a result, before the upgrade was completed, it was discovered that the older brother was no longer working, so the project was abandoned halfway.

Of course, we also learned some technologies from the upgraded J-8.

To be precise, our industrial standardization only began to gradually emerge after our exchanges with Aramco.

The Y-10 team is now facing the same problem.

It's not just a technical issue, but also a problem related to international cooperation!
International cooperation includes various patented technologies of the product itself, as well as airworthiness certificates, etc.
Military products can be copied, but copying civilian products will involve patent infringement.

Both aircraft that Li Song presented this time have their own unique designs!
This perfectly addresses the biggest weakness of the Y-10 aircraft.

Moreover, judging from the current parameters, it is far superior to the design I made myself.

In addition, Li Song will also provide some core processing equipment and production technology.

Of course, more importantly, I don't have to spend any more money.

Although BMW's aircraft manufacturing plant is entirely foreign-owned.

But aside from the money and Li Song himself, which represent foreign investment, everything else is on our own turf.

The workers and technicians there are mostly from inland China.

Further on, Li Song is also from mainland China.

There's nothing for the higher authorities to worry about!
"I think we should merge this team into BMW's aircraft manufacturing plant!"

"Of course, we haven't seen any machinery or equipment yet, so we shouldn't let the people below know for now!"

"As for the aircraft manufacturing plant, Li Song can choose where to locate it!"

"I think Li Song's choice to stay in Chang'an might be due to his desire to give back to his hometown!"

"After all, he has received more than ten years of education from us, and within the limits of his authority, he can still make decisions!"

"Ok!"

"Well, that's settled then!"

"As for the cargo ship, leave it to the people below to handle!"

"Now let's wait and see if it's a pleasant surprise or a shock!"

"Furthermore, in the fields of chemical engineering and home appliances, they have lowered many requirements!"

"Based on the information we've gathered, they are quite concerned about the international patents that Li Song applied for in Hong Kong."

"There is even reliable intelligence suggesting that some of the patents applied for by Li Song seem to be patents from other people's laboratories!"

"So the companies that own small notebooks are now in a state of panic and anxiety."

"There was even an employee of one company who secretly followed a Parkson employee and then got into a car accident!"

“These guys from the little notebook are very shrewd. Let’s talk to them first.”

“In the past, they made demands on their own without permission. When we tried to talk to them, they held us back!”

"Um!!"

"Do you think Li Song chose a private jet for convenience when coming to Kyoto?"

"Young people can understand!"

"It's very possible."

"Haha, then we'll be benefiting from this guy's services when we fly on private jets in the future!"

"Ha ha!!"
