Chapter 167 VLCC
For commercial projects, the first important thing is the funding issue. Theoretically, as long as there is sufficient financial support, it is not a problem for mainstream Western industrial groups to create a Boeing or Airbus.
Although Qilianshan and Liu Wenyue didn’t know much about the details of the mpc75 project, they probably knew about the project thanks to the hype of the German media.
According to the estimates of Mbb Group, the R&D cost of this branch passenger aircraft, temporarily named mpc75, is between US$121.4 billion, and Germany suggested to the Republic to develop the mpc75 branch passenger aircraft in a manner that the Federal Republic and Germany each contributed half of the respective investment.
Of course, such a huge investment in R&D funds will never be able to make it. As long as the Republic can implement the investment, the Federal German government will provide Mbb with large low-interest or even interest-free loans to Mbb to support Mbb to promote the mpc75 project.
Liu Wenyue and Qilianshan thought for a moment and vaguely understood Liang Yuan’s plan for the future in China and Germany. With equal investment, the joint development of mpc75 is actually another manifestation of the market exchange technology. The vast market of the Republic basically ensures that the huge investment in the Federal Republic of Germany will not be wasted, allowing the Federal German government to provide large-scale financial support for Mbb Company with confidence, and this intensive investment can definitely further enhance the competitiveness of the German aviation industry.
Although it is limited by the Republic's scientific research strength and it is impossible to gain a dominant position in this kind of cooperation, it is absolutely possible to fully build the framework of the development process of large passenger aircraft. During this period, the introduction of various advanced equipment, software and hardware facilities will be a great promotion for the backward aviation industry in the country.
However, Liu Wenyue and Qilianshan, who have a good understanding of the domestic economic and political situation, know very well that when the country has chosen McDonald as the breakthrough point for large passenger aircraft, it is impossible for the Republic to spend another US$6.7 billion to start a new business on large passenger aircraft. Now Liang Yuan plans to command Yuan Jia to replace the Republic's official wèizhi.
After Yuanjia obtained the foundation of the aviation industry from Romania, through cooperation with the mpc75 project, Yuanjia can complete a leapfrog development in the aviation industry in a short period of time, at least it can match the international advanced level in hardware such as equipment. The rest depends on the efforts of its own technicians.
The two of them thought about the complex situation between the two Germanys. They thought about Liang Yuan’s background in the Republic. The more they thought, the more chaotic it felt. The plan made by Liang Yuan for Yuan Jia was too dangerous. It can even be said that Yuan Jia’s lifeline was held in the hands of the Federal Germany. If you are not careful, the entire group would be dragged into the abyss. But it cannot be said that Liang Yuan’s plan is not feasible. At least the current Federal Germany is seeking Yuan Jia. Including the Republic, the three parties have a great foundation for cooperation in common interests.
Moreover, once the mpc75 project is successful, Yuanjia will also accumulate a certain amount of scientific research strength while making huge profits. Moreover, with the wide range of industries involved in large passenger aircraft, Yuanjia is destined to form a community of interests with countless federal German companies. This extensive corporate partnership in the industry will have a great help to Yuanjia when developing new businesses in the future.
Although Yuanjia might not have squeezed into the world's top industrial group at that time, it would be fine to become a first-class enterprise. At that time, Yuanjia would go back to the upstream of the industry and expand downstream, and would once again enter industries such as automobiles and railway equipment manufacturing, etc., which would be countless times easier than before.
In the eyes of the two, Liang Yuan chose the most radical path, intending to make a breakthrough in the most solid point of modern industry. If he succeeds, he will go to heaven, and if he fails, he will go to hell.
Liang Yuan saw the two people frowned and remained silent for seven or eight minutes. He understood the entanglement between the two people. He chuckled and patted the handrail of the sofa, attracted their attention, and said, "Although the mpc75 project is in the name of joint development, I don't expect the Germans to support Yuanjia into the Chinese version of the mbb group."
"What I value is that we can start with the first design of a large passenger plane on the drawings. We have completely followed all the steps of research and development, production, inspection and airworthiness of a large passenger plane. Although the Germans will not take the initiative to teach, they cannot deliberately conceal the contract due to the limited contract. What they can learn is fundamentally our own business."
"I am optimistic about the future international and domestic regional aircraft market. As for the personal qualities of Chinese engineering and technical personnel, I should not explain anything. Look at the proportion of Chinese engineers in large scientific research centers in all walks of life in the United States, the proportion of Chinese engineers is enough to knock down any doubts."
When Liu Wenyue and Qilianshan heard Liang Yuan say this, they could only throw away all their questions and confusions. As long as Liang Yuan does not make any mistakes in the market judgment of regional passenger aircraft, even if Yuanjia cannot grow into a first-class industrial group in the future, he can still obtain billions or even tens of billions of profits from the mpc75 project.
At least in the perception of the two people, Liang Yuan has never missed his judgment on the general direction of the company and the industry. Even the gas turbine and integrated circuit manufacturing that the two regarded as big pits at the time, had clear profit prospects.
Liu Wenyue and Qilianshan looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Young Master Yuan is not afraid of losing money. What are Lao Qi and I afraid of? If you fail, be a local rich man. If you succeed, we will be considered a name that will be left forever."
"But Lao Qi and I are both aviation blind, so we still have to strengthen our studies during this period."
"I asked Lao Qi to find the boss of the civil aviation import and export company. This time, Lao Liu went to Germany and was nominally the boss of the import and export company. This time, Gao Shaoxi, director of the International Cooperation Department of the International Cooperation Department of the West German Aviation Industry Ministry, will assist Lao Liu in integrating the mpc75 project. If you have any questions, let's ask those experts together." Liang Yuan said with a smile.
The three of them chatted for a long time. When the needle pointed at five o'clock, the electronic lock on Liang Yuan's room door sounded the sound of gear turning. The two little girls who were going out shopping returned to the hotel from outside.
The two little girls first greeted Qilianshan and Liu Wenyue, and then sat on the square stool at the door to change into slippers.
"Xiao Yuan actually got up. I just bet with Jia Jia that you didn't get up and actually lost." Ning Wanfei, wearing a light beige down jacket and gray trousers, wrinkled her pretty nose and said to Liang Yuan who was nestled on the sofa.
"Xiaoyuan, it's a pity that you didn't go. My sister and I saw a very big boat in the port, at least five or six birthday gifts." Ning Wanjia's pink face was slightly red from the cold, and she was excited to put her cold palm on Liang Yuan's cheek.
When Liang Yuan heard that there were five or six Lego water parks as big as that of a ship, the ship would have to be at least 300 meters. Such large ships that could be parked in Hamburg Port can only be the giant VLCC supertanker in the ship.
Sniffing the faint fragrance mixed with cold air, he pulled the cold little hand on his cheek, put it to his mouth and sniffed a few lightly. Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Jia Jia likes that we can make one on the Hunhe River."
"Xiaoyuan always talks nonsense. Such a large ship will block the entire Hunhe River. Even the Nanhu Science and Technology Park will be flooded by then." Ning Wanjia's voice slightly refuted Liang Yuan.
Looking at Qilianshan and Liu Wenyue smiling and watching Liang Yuan talk nonsense with him, Ning Wanjia was embarrassed and took out his little hand from Liang Yuan's hand, ran to another group of sofas and sat with Ning Wanfei.
"The ship Jiajia saw is the super tanker I told you before, but what Jiajia saw should not be the largest one. The largest one can hold at least eight or nine Lego water playgrounds." Liang Yuan didn't care at all about Qilianshan and Liu Wenyue's teasing smiles, and was doing his best to popularize science for the little girl.
