v2 Chapter 744： Airshow ends

The manuscript that designed the plane for L'Oreal was treasured by the Betancourt family until it was put up for auction at a charity auction 50 years later. Two hand-painted design drawings by Bao's richest man were sold for a sky-high price of 2.9 million pounds, which is estimated to be something that no one thought of. But no one thought it was expensive at that time, and many people even thought it was cheap.

Thursday, June 23, 1983. The 35th Paris Air Show officially ended at Le Bourget Airport in Paris, France. Different people have different opinions on this air show, whether it is the birth of the Su-27 or the anti-air performance of the F-18, even if the US government agrees to Lockheed's sale of strategic transport aircraft. All beaten by one company, one aircraft.

Compared with the HH-01 Ghost fighter-bomber of the Black Cloud Group, these planes are more like foils. Although reluctantly, this is the truth. The price of a single unit of 450 million US dollars actually sold more than 30 units, which is still not agreed to export data to the United States. It is definitely the MVP of this Paris Air Show, and it will be difficult to be surpassed even in the future.

Not only that, but 83 Heiyun 919 passenger planes were also sold. The main market is in the Middle East, and it seems that Bao Zixuan's efforts have paid off. At the same time, because of the relationship of L'Oreal Group, a total of 6 rich people choose to believe in Heiyun Group. Having six 919s converted into private jets is a remarkable achievement. You must know that even Airbus and Boeing have not sold so many private jets. After all, the number of super rich people in this era is very limited.

Even the old product Xiangjiang Monster Ground Effect Aircraft has received more than 20 orders, which is a big surprise. It's amazing to know that there are still a lot of orders lined up and still getting orders.

The 35th Paris Air Show was a very successful one among the recent air shows, for which the main committee specially held a celebration banquet. The major aircraft manufacturers who came to the exhibition were invited to win over the hearts of the people.

You must know that although the Paris Air Show is the largest and most influential air show in the world, it also has many competitors. The British and Americans are all staring at it. If the major aircraft manufacturing companies cannot be retained, it will be very troublesome in the future.

In any country, companies that produce aircraft have a detached status. It has a huge impact on the domestic industry, economy and technology; at the same time, each aircraft manufacturing company has its own customer base. If it really makes people uncomfortable, it may not be possible to come to Paris to participate in the exhibition next time.

The banquet is held in the exhibition hall, and there is a banquet hall here. Moreover, the whole venue is very decorated with industrial elements. It should be known that most of the exhibitors are engineers, and they are more practical.

Bao Zixuan brought several project leaders and engineers to the banquet hall, and also wanted the Heiyun engineer team to communicate more with the outside world. It is better to be able to recruit technical talents from competitors. Even if no one is recruited, you can learn a little more experience. At least being able to understand the design concepts of the world's most cutting-edge aircraft is a huge benefit for future work.

As for whether the Black Cloud engineer will be poached, Bao's richest man is not really worried. There are not many companies in the world that can surpass Heiyun Group in terms of employee treatment. I believe that smart people know how to choose.

One of the characteristics of Heiyun Group's participation in the exhibition is that the clothing is very uniform. This is true whether it is an auto show or an electronic product exhibition. It has become a habit over the years. Moreover, the work clothes of Heiyun Group are designed by Joanna herself, and they are definitely at the forefront of fashion.

Seeing Bao Zixuan's arrival, little MacDonald greeted him with great enthusiasm. Knowing that the richest man Bao is the first time to participate in this kind of banquet, it will be somewhat uncomfortable, and the most important thing is that he does not know anyone.

Little MacDonald began to introduce the heads and executives of several aircraft manufacturing companies to Bao Zixuan. In this regard, he is quite familiar. Although it may not be possible to make friends with Bao Zixuan, the richest man in Hong Kong, no one will refuse to meet him. Even as a competitor, I have to admire the talent of this young man. Now they are competitors, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Bao Zixuan is not suitable for this kind of occasion, after getting to know a circle of people. Start eating in the corner, the French food level is recognized around the world, you should try it today.

After the banquet started, the chairman of the main committee of the air show stood on the stage and said: "Thank you to all the friends who have come from afar, it is precisely because of your trust. The Paris Air Show will only get better and better. What kind of hospitality is there for the past few days? I hope you will be able to help me where the cooperation with the work is not in place. In the future, we will improve our services and make sure that all exhibitors and customers are satisfied.”

"We will increase our publicity for the next air show and invite more buyers to visit. We must make the Paris Air Show the world's first air show and bring greater benefits to exhibitors."

As soon as he finished speaking, Little MacDonald said beside Bao Zixuan, "It seems that the French are in a hurry, but this is actually normal."

Little MacDonald thought that Bao Zixuan did not know the pattern of world aviation, after all, Heiyun Group had just entered the aviation field. He really wanted to be the leader; if he wanted to surpass Boeing, it was impossible to rely on McDonnell Douglas alone, and he had to look for foreign aid.

The Black Cloud Group is a good choice, and the production of aircraft is no better than others; it requires a very deep technical accumulation. Although Heiyun has achieved certain achievements, it is still far behind in some areas. Taking large planes as an example, Heiyun does not have the ability to develop super passenger planes. Otherwise, there would be no cooperation with the Soviets in the production of medium-sized passenger aircraft. In McDonnell's view, the Soviet design still has certain flaws. If it is McDonnell Douglas, the design may be more perfect.

The overall performance of the Heiyun 919 is good because of the engines, avionics and override systems. If these are applied to McDonnell Douglas, it will definitely bring McDonnell Douglas to a higher level.

At this time, the richest man Bao can only pretend to be confused, otherwise the topic will not be able to continue.

Bao Zixuan: "The Paris Air Show is already the world's No. 1 air show. What else can the French be worried about?"

Hearing this, little MacDonald thought, this kid is still a recruit. I don't know what's going on here at all, and I don't even understand the competition and desire of various countries for the air show.

Little MacDonald said with a smile: "Of course the French have to be anxious, knowing that the air show will not only bring some tax revenue to France. More importantly, it will stimulate the development of tourism and attract military enthusiasts and super rich people from all over the world to come and participate."

"What is France? The luxury goods, red wine, and cosmetics here are famous all over the world. All the people who come here can't just leave after watching the air show! Then it's no wonder that their wives and daughters don't get angry. These are real benefits. ."

The British Airshow is slowly accumulating fame, and the United States is also making relevant preparations. You must know that every air show has the largest number of exhibitors in the United States. Coming to Europe once is a waste of money and labor, so it's better to get things done right at your doorstep.

"I heard that the Soviets also wanted to hold an air show in Moscow. This is not groundless. It's just that they want to test the attitude of major companies. It's no wonder that the French are not in a hurry."

In fact, these Bao Zixuan know a little bit, and the Rolls-Royce company will come to the air show every time. It's just that the engine is exhibiting, and the required booth area is not very large.

Seeing Bao Zixuan's expression, little MacDonald said with a smile: "It is estimated that the main committee of the Paris Air Show will definitely come to find you, and then you must be prepared."

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you for your sharing my friend. If there is any news in the future, please let me know in advance. Hong Kong is still too blocked in aviation."

Little MacDonald said with a smile, "It's easy to say. The four-engine super-large airliner you mentioned a few days ago, the engineer thinks it's very feasible. Let's discuss it and see how we can work together."

Little MacDonald was also a vigorous master, and he discussed it with the engineer that night. The engineer was very relieved that the little boss suddenly changed his personality and did not continue to insist on the three-engine design. He immediately stated that as long as the company supports it, the designed aircraft will never be worse than the Boeing 747.

With this guarantee, McDonnell Jr. certainly has confidence. Only then did I dare to come to Bao Zixuan and see what this super genius had to say.

Bao Zixuan: "Heiyun is under investigation by the US Department of Commerce. If you don't worry about it, you can cooperate at any time. If you don't cooperate, Heiyun will also design an aircraft engine according to McDonnell Douglas's requirements. I will serve as the chief engineer."

Little MacDonald was not a fearful master, and immediately said that there was no problem. And there is Boeing on it, how can McDonnell Douglas involve monopoly. The specific details still need to be negotiated by the professional team. At this time, the tasks of the two bosses have been basically completed.
