Chapter 270 British Visitor
As the three of them spoke, a roar of an aircraft engine came from the skyline, and a silver-white Air China 737 passenger plane appeared in the northwest direction.
"Mr. Sun, let's go and pick up Mr. Qi." Zhou Yuanhang opened the side door of the sea lion.
Seeing Zhou Yuanhang and Sun Zhuolin walking into the waiting hall, Liang Yuan took out his own water bottle from the glove box and took a sip, turned his head and said to Zhou Heng: "This time British Aerospace sent 20 and 30 people here. It is inconvenient to go to Changbai Island without a car every day. What minibus do you think are good?"
The production line of the BAC1-11 passenger aircraft moved back from Romania is expected to be placed west of Changbai Island. Judging from the current infrastructure situation on Changbai Island, if you want to live, you have to build a few years to clear the South Canal and build a wharf, such as Shengjing Municipal Government, and in the short term, it is the most realistic to buy a car.
Zhou Heng turned around and looked at the Shengfei bus following behind the sea lion and said with a smile, "The conditions are a bit difficult. Shengfei's bus does not even have air conditioners. It is really a waste of money to be used as commuting for foreign experts."
"If you have 20 or 30 people, Xiaoyuan will buy Toyota's minibus. The group's commuter passengers and small cars are enough for the time being, but there are not many minibuses, except for Songliao, it is Lao Jinbei."
"Last month I pulled people from Shangri-La to the district government to do business. Team Wang of the district government's fleet also joked with me that Director Zhou of the Science and Technology Park is so calculating. Half of the mileage of the two sea lion breads in the district government were from the science and technology park."
Generally speaking, as long as Liang Yuan is not a loser, Zhou Juan, who is in charge of the administrative department of Nanhu Science and Technology Park, is quite careful in calculating. Yuanjia has not been established for a long time and has expanded too quickly. Although the subsidiaries have become independent from the group, their daily administrative management is still unified in the administrative department of the Science and Technology Park.
Thanks to the good foundation that Liang Haiping laid for the district government to build residential buildings back then, the relationship between the Science and Technology Park and the Heping District Government was quite harmonious. Before the high-top sea lion of the Science and Technology Park was bought, Liang Yuan had always borrowed cars from the district government when he was traveling far away.
Looking at the entire Shengjing, there are countless large and small enterprises, and the government departments are not allowed to use them by car, and Yuanjia is also the only one.
Liang Yuan repeated the sentence with some uncertainty.
Liang Yuan really doesn’t know when Toyota Coaster was born.
"Yes, just call this. I saw it when I went to the provincial party committee to do business before. I heard the driver over there say that this car is solid and the air conditioner is strong enough. There are few problems." Zhou Heng said.
After thinking for a while, Liang Yuan said, "After returning to the Science and Technology Park, Uncle Zhou went to the administrative department and asked Director Zhou to make a report and apply for two Toyota Coasters and four West German Kessbauers. Just hand the report directly to my mother."
After hearing Liang Yuan say that, Zhou Heng took a breath of cold air. These six cars have to spend at least two million US dollars to enter the country.
Although Zhou Heng is already familiar with the fact that Liang Yuan is the founder of Yuanjia, it is the first time that Liang Yuan has decided to do things himself.
"Kesbauer, the best bus in the world. I heard from the drivers of the provincial party committee that the car was only equipped in our country by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Zhou Heng said with emotion.
Listening to Zhou Heng's emotion, Liang Yuan smiled and said nothing. If it weren't for the German man's loan of $600 million, Liang Yuan would not be willing to take out millions of dollars to buy Kesbauer.
"Uncle Zhou, after the new bus arrives, the Administrative Department can study with the district government to see if the district government's commuting line and the group's commuting line can be merged. We can leave a third of the seat for the district government, which is a reward for borrowing a car with them in the past two years." Liang Yuan said with a smile.
With the establishment and production of COMAC, Yuanjia will officially transition from a trader to a manufacturer. It is a matter of establishing a good relationship with the grassroots government. Although with Yuanjia's political resources, even if it is not bad for the Heping District Government, multiple friends are always much more cost-effective than multiple enemies.
Liang Yuangang and Zhou Heng explained the purchase of a new car. Zhou Yuanhang and Sun Zhuolin each accompanied a gray-haired blue-eyed foreigner and led the way out of the terminal.
"John, here we haven't seen each other for at least three years, so we have to have a good chat later." From a distance, Sun Zhuolin's deep voice came into the car.
"Okay, okay, I really didn't expect to meet Sun in China. I remember the last time we met was at the Famburg Roh Air Show in 1987, when you were still working in Boeing's engineering department." The foreigner who was called John by Sun Zhuolin happily agreed.
Behind John, at least twenty blonde and blue-eyed foreigners could emerge from the waiting hall. Several translators equipped by Yuanjia were busy around the entire team under the command of Qilian Mountain, which was somewhat similar to the common foreign tour groups in the New Century Republic.
Zhou Yuanhang and Sun Zhuolin accompanied the two team leaders on the sea lion bread, and Qilianshan led a group of translators to greet the rest and waited on Sheng Fei's bus.
Finally, Zhou Yuanhang brought the car door. With the sound of diesel motors rumbling by Shengfei Dake, the two cars left behind a large number of curious domestic people and left in a blink of an eye.
Zhou Yuanhang knew Liang Yuan's character well and did not introduce Liang Yuan to foreigners.
Liang Yuan, who was sitting in the front row, listened with his ears all the way, and then he realized that the team sent by British Aerospace this time was led by John Steinbeck and George Sephelis. One of them was responsible for the flight mechanism and the other was responsible for the assembly process in Aerospace. It was somewhat similar to Sun Zhuolin and Zhou Yuanhang's division of labor.
The British had just done intercontinental flight, and Zhou Yuanhang didn't talk much about work. He took British Aerospace's technical team to take a quick walk around the Nanhu Science and Technology Park and Changbai Island construction site, and then drove the person to the Liaoning Hotel.
British Aerospace came over at once and nearly 30 people. The temporary hotel in the Science and Technology Park could not be installed. The Shangri-La Hotel will take about half a year to complete. During this period, foreigners can only settle in the Liaoning Hotel, which has a pretty good accommodation.
It was already evening when two girls who had already finished school were waiting for Liang Yuan to have supper together.
Because Liang Yuan made too much noise, for safety reasons, Wu Zhonghua used the privileges of the academician and judges to directly kill someone's superconducting electromagnetic gun project, which completely broke through the Qingke Competition plan of spending pocket money. Ning Wanfei was sarcastic.
Now the two girls have returned to normal life and have begun to go to school on time every day to be good children.
After having supper in the canteen of the Science and Technology Park, Liang Yuan first sent the two girls back to the military compound, and then returned to the temporary hotel of the Science and Technology Park.
Pushing open the door to Qilian Mountain, Zhou Yuanhang and Sun Zhuolin were all there. The three of them held cigarettes and surrounded a coffee table, leaning against the sofa and talking in full swing.
After taking Qilianshan and throwing it on the coffee table, he skillfully knocked it with his thumb, and half of a cigarette popped out. He grabbed the filter, ignited it, and took a deep breath. Liang Yuan half-squinted his eyes and found a single sofa and sat in it.
"How long has the eldest young master been smoking? He looks very skilled. The eldest young master has already told Jia Jia to approve it?" Qilianshan said with a smile.
"Lao Qi, you'd better pretend that you didn't see anything. Those two girls knew about it. Don't think about the year-end bonus this year." Liang Yuan also said with a smile.
"How is it like in Romania? How is British Aerospace reacting?" Liang Yuan pulled out half of the line with great satisfaction before asking about the results of the trip to Europe in Qilian Mountains for more than half a month.
"Everything is normal in Romania. As long as the first Soviet Tu 154 entered Romanian civil aviation, we can officially start the production line migration. At present, one-fifth of the entire line has been packed, and the 11 additional materials have been packed."
"The contact with British Aerospace was also relatively smooth. After all, BAC1-11 is just a product they acquired. Although Aerospace had plans to amplify and upgrade BAC1-11 in the early 1980s, due to funding, the market plan has not even been completed on paper. Currently, British Aerospace's energy is focused on the modification of BAE146." Qilianshan said.
BAC1-11 is a 100-seat short-range jet developed and produced by British Aircraft Corporation in the 1960s. Later, due to the British government's promotion of the merger of aviation companies, British Aircraft Corporation was merged by British Aerospace. BAC1-11 was an alien project for British Aerospace at this time, and BAE146 was the passenger aircraft developed by Aerospace itself.
The BAE146 regional passenger plane is known as the Queen of England's aerial carriage. It is a designated special aircraft of the British royal family. It is also the quietest jet in the world in the 1980s. It is also one of the few large passenger planes in the British aviation industry that use under-wing lifting engines. It is very competitive in the international market.
"But the only regret of the BAE146 passenger plane is that it adopts a four-engine layout. Although the safety has increased significantly, the passenger plane is in a very unfavorable position in maintenance." Qilianshan finally couldn't help but complain about the British's strange ideas.
"This time British Aerospace sent such a large team here and had great expectations for us. The British did not believe that we had stopped and switched to other models after assembling these eleven passenger planes in Romania."
The contract signed by Romania and British Aerospace was a license authorization, and Romania was far from reaching the production quantity agreed by both parties. Therefore, after Yuanjia took over the Romanian project, he did not need to sign a supplementary agreement with British Aerospace for the time being.
