Chapter 666: The cost of composite materials is low enough

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    With this mentality, when Professor Ali Khan came to the Ascendas Group's Ascendas Aviation aircraft manufacturing plant in Xiping, his dark old face was as serious as the bottom of a pot. Looking at the huge factory, what flashed in his mind was not the European Airbus.  The aircraft assembly plant in Lyon, France, is Boeing's large-scale production plant in Seattle, USA.

    Comparing these two giants, Xiping Factory, which has relatively good hardware facilities in China, is a bit unsatisfactory.

    So Professor Ali Khan shook his head at his two assistants and commented: "I don't think the kind of high-performance light transport aircraft General Zarif mentioned can be produced here."

    Professor Ali Khan's voice was not deliberately lowered. In addition, his position was relatively high, and Zhuang Jianye, Lin Guanghua and others did not understand foreign languages. Therefore, as soon as these words came out, both parties immediately seemed a little uncomfortable.  So natural.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that this time Professor Ali Khan fired the map cannon for no reason. Neither Rahman nor Zarif seemed to have heard it, let alone stopped it. There was not even the slightest hint of embarrassment on their faces.

    It looks like a parent watching his naughty child doing all kinds of things. Not only will he not stop it, but he may even praise his naughty child to death for being smart.

    In fact, this is indeed the case. Internally, the Pakistani military may not care about Professor Ali Khan, but externally, especially in highly professional aviation manufacturing companies like Ascendas Group, Professor Ali Khan is their best weapon.

    Otherwise, how can they bargain, bargain, and prices with each other?

    It¡¯s all about chopping hands, but how to chop, how to chop, you still have to pay attention to strategy!

    Professor Ali Khan is an important part of their strategy. If not, who would bring such a smelly and stubborn nerd here.

    To put it bluntly, just like they did with Chenggong Aviation and Hongtong Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, these domestic aircraft manufacturers were embarrassed and dealt with it more carefully, so as to take the initiative in subsequent visits and possible preliminary exchanges.

    After all, the country is very polite to high-level foreign military delegations who are interested in purchasing equipment. I am taking advantage of the trend to raise the bar and be tougher. The already cost-effective products will be further improved a lot.  , this is definitely not a bad thing for the Pakistani military.

    ¡°After all, no one¡¯s money comes from strong winds, even if it¡¯s the domestic railway, it¡¯s better to settle this account clearly.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that their unbeatable routine in other aviation manufacturers is basically like burning the lute and boiling the crane when applied to Ascendas Group. It is of no use at all.

    Because that guy named Zhuang Jianye is typically evil-hearted, ruthless, thick-skinned, and oh~~ by the way, he¡¯s also a bit petty.

    "Is this a small scene a big deal in Mr. Zhuang's eyes?"

    "Professor Ali Khan, right?" After shaking hands with Rahman, Zarif and others, Zhuang Jianye shook hands with this serious old man with a gray beard, who looked like a Shar-Pei, and whose face was full of wrinkles.  He started to smile and said: "I heard from General Zarif that you worked as a technical engineer at Airbus and Boeing in your early years. How about it? Are you interested in joining our Ascendas Group?"

    Zhuang Jianye¡¯s words were also not deliberately suppressed. People in the Pakistani military delegation were surprised when they heard this. What¡¯s going on, they started poaching now?

    Professor Ali Khan also did not expect that his previous undisguised doubts did not make the head of Ascendas Group in front of him angry, but instead enthusiastically invited him to join. He was a little dazed for a moment, but he reacted the next moment, and then  Shaking his head firmly: "Sorry, Mr. Zhuang, if I want a better life, Airbus and Boeing will give me the most generous annual salary. I can live a life without worries about food and clothing, but compared to these external things, I  I even hope to return to my motherland and cultivate our country¡¯s own aviation industry and talent team.¡±

    As soon as these words came out, both the Pakistanis and domestic companions present were in awe of Professor Ali Khan. As the saying goes, science has no borders, but scientists have nationalities. Professor Ali Khan, who has given up studying abroad,  Scientific and technological talents who are well paid and resolutely choose to return to the motherland to build the country will be respected wherever they go.

    However, those people who are respectful and thoughtful can't help but criticize Professor Ali Khan's words. They talk about Airbus and say nothing about Boeing, but there is not even a word about Ascendas Group. What they say is nothing more than failure to understand Ascendas.  The group just takes it seriously.

    ¡°In fact, not to mention Ascendas Group, there are countless domestic aviation manufacturing companies such as Berjaya Airlines and Hongtong Aircraft Manufacturing Factory in China. Professor Ali Khan does not like any of them.

    It¡¯s no wonder that although Professor Ali Khan¡¯s home country is Pakistan, he studied in the United States in his early years and obtained a bachelor¡¯s degree from MITHe received a master's degree in aeronautical engineering and later obtained a doctorate in aeronautical engineering from Stanford University. He then joined Lockheed and participated in the improvement of the P-3C anti-submarine patrol aircraft and the development of the L-1011 wide-body passenger aircraft.

    Later, in order to meet market expectations for the L-1011 wide-body passenger aircraft, Lockheed withdrew from the field of civil aircraft. Professor Ali Khan, as a member of the company¡¯s civil aircraft manufacturing business team, was ruthlessly laid off by Lockheed.

    At this time, Airbus on the other side of the Atlantic began to rise. Professor Ali Khan joined Airbus and participated in the preliminary research work of the A330 passenger aircraft. He later left his job again due to disagreements with his ideas. He then joined Boeing and participated in the development of the Boeing 757.  Later he became the technical director of the project.

    Until he resigned from Boeing in the late 1980s and returned to Pakistan to serve as a professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Karachi Institute of Technology, Professor Ali Khan spent time in the world's top aviation giants, seeing, experiencing, and participating in  They are all the most cutting-edge existences in the world.

    ¡°Whether it is vision, realm or perception, it has reached a level that normal people cannot imagine.

    It¡¯s like a high-class man who has spent half his life hanging out in Sanlitun, Beijing, or on the Bund of the Huangpu River in Shanghai, and suddenly comes to a Middle Eastern refugee camp where mosquitoes are everywhere, there are different networks, and there are no toilets. Naturally, he is not used to it.

    Professor Ali Khan looks at China's aviation industry like a wealthy aristocrat who is used to eating French meals and drinking coffee and milkshakes. He comes to the alley and pinches his nose, looks at garlic, and picks his feet with Erguotou.  Just like men, they don¡¯t say anything on their lips, but don¡¯t worry about it in their hearts.

    Although Zhuang Jianye didn't know much about Professor Ali Khan's details, he still knew his general experience. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to extend the invitation. However, he clearly refused, so there was no need for Zhuang Jianye to flatter him. He smiled and said nothing.  I shook hands with the next person and went to say hello.

    After shaking hands with everyone in the Pakistani military delegation, he led the Pakistani delegation into the No. 8 production workshop not far away. At this time, Lin Guanghua had already begun to introduce: "Yun-15 series light transport aircraft, in our  The group's engineering code name is Haidong Qing A-type aircraft, and its biggest feature is that this aircraft uses a large amount of composite materials, which weighs about 4 tons and accounts for 23% of the total weight of the entire aircraft structure."

    "Engineer Lin, please wait a moment. I remember that I saw that your quotations for Yun-15 and Yun-15plus were US$7 million and US$11 million. Based on the fact that you use more than 20% of composite materials, is this price a bit high?  "

    Just when Lin Guanghua was introducing the basic situation enthusiastically, Professor Ali Khan suddenly interrupted and interjected. The other members of the Pakistani military delegation all looked at Lin Guanghua with interest, and occasionally glanced at Zhuang Jianye. They all knew that  Composite materials are extremely expensive, but Ascendas Group's quotation is almost the same as or even lower than that of an ordinary light transport aircraft, which can't help but make people a little suspicious.

    Lin Guanghua had an indifferent attitude towards this. He smiled at Professor Ali Khan and asked, "What if the cost of the composite materials we use is low enough?"
