He said, "It was both a coincidence and a stroke of luck that the Pengji project was established. Are there any Japanese people here?"
Everyone chuckled lightly, and Xing Baohua nodded and continued, "To be honest, I have to thank the Japanese for lending me the money. Actually, that money was for a satellite project, but who knew it would fall through, so I put the money I used for the satellite project into aircraft development. Thanks to Brother Su and the others for their technical support."
Xing Baohua nodded and clapped at the group of scoundrels. The others followed suit, clapping and looking at the scoundrels. They even stood up and nodded in acknowledgment.
"To be honest, I look down on our domestic manufacturing industry. We rely on subsidies for everything. As Mr. Qian said, we Chinese are capable, aren't we? But what happens? We have to copy everything."
These words are a bit upsetting. Thinking about what Xing Baohua said, it's true. No matter what kind of aid plan there was or how much we were given, it was all done when we were in our most difficult and desperate situation.
Decades have passed, and we still haven't figured out the basics? We still have to rely on imported equipment and raw materials. Anything imported is better than what we manufacture ourselves.
Look at those light industries, heavy industries, and even the things that are copied.
What is truly our own? From the 54th to the 56th and 81st bars, from the 5th, 6th, 7th to 8th masters, is it all imitation?
The big-nosed Liberation sedan, a Shanghai-plated sedan. They were all imitations from the Big Brother era.
When Xing Baohua said he didn't have anything of his own, he went a bit too far. That's a bit hurtful!
"Of course, while introducing the An series, we must also do a good job with it. The domestic market is now booming, and the demand for supplies is also growing rapidly. Remember, time is money, time is speed. Whoever controls speed will control wealth. We have a huge An series, which gives us a head start in the transportation of supplies."
With this foundation, we can then set our sights on civil aviation. There are only a handful of passenger aircraft manufacturers globally, and we must strive to develop our own, as our costs are lower than anyone else's, while also improving comfort.
Because Er Mao's people were present, Xing Baohua didn't mention the J-purpose transport aircraft at all.
The technical personnel from Harbin Aircraft Industry Group, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, and Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group are all in place. How much they can learn is up to them. Even if they manage to replicate it exactly, that's their skill.
As for the appearance, we'll have to wait. If the art director really doesn't want to, we can ask DaMi's chief designer! That guy is definitely obsessed with science fiction lately.
After rambling on about other things, Xing Baohua finally finished speaking without a prepared script.
They sat down amidst applause, and then several others spoke. They all echoed Xing Baohua's words, such as, "As Mr. Xing just said, time is money, so we must strive to build Pengfei as quickly as possible, not only quickly but also ensuring quality."
Another person said, "Judging from the current orders from airlines in various provinces and cities, they have been waiting for several years. They are all Boeing series, A series, or even Il-7 series. As long as we speed up research and development and production, we can snatch some of the orders."
Xing Baohua slammed his hand on the table, startling everyone. The person who had just spoken trembled, wondering if he had said something that offended Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua pointed at the group of idiots and said, "I want to present them as a gift to my engineers for helping them manufacture several An-225s."
Everyone looked at Xing Baohua with confusion, completely bewildered. Even the Japanese soldiers looked confused, but after the translator explained, they nodded in agreement.
"You mean to give it to the highest..." Jin Xin asked joyfully.
Xing Baohua nodded, and instantly the displeasure on the faces of those executives transformed into overflowing joy.
The world's largest airplane, plus luxurious furnishings. If a leader were to travel abroad, he would be accompanied by domestically produced cars and even more personnel. Just imagining it is impressive.
If possible, include the honor guard as well; their marching would be far superior to any honor guard in the world.
It's a bit high-profile, but of course, you can change your car if you need to.
Get one of each size, big, medium, and small; they're made in-house, so they're cheap.
We had lunch with everyone at Pengfei at noon. The food was good, with ribs, beef, chicken, duck, and fish, but it was way too much for our budget.
Xing Baohua didn't say anything. Cost-cutting wasn't about cutting costs on food; the key issue was those who were greedy. Their insatiable greed led to increased costs.
If we eat and drink well, at least we can do our jobs well.
Back in the city in the afternoon, Xing Baohua rested for a while, and just as she was taking a nap, Jin Xin came looking for her.
"You're really energetic, don't you take a nap at noon?" Xing Baohua said.
"I'm just destined to work hard, I never have a chance to rest. With your little secretary around, I don't even have a chance to ask you anything."
"What?"
“I heard about what happened to you in Hong Kong. I called you then, but I couldn’t get through. Later, I heard that you were alright, so I was relieved,” Jin Xin said.
"Really? I'm really touched. I knew you were thinking of calling me. Alright, I have to see your boss tonight. I need to have a good talk with him."
"You, they're really sincere. Feel it and see if it's true." As he spoke, he moved closer to Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua dodged away with a look of disgust, saying, "The more serious I am with you, the more unserious you become. You're too mischievous."
"Getting down to business, I'm planning to analyze the exchange rate fluctuations in continental Europe. I've already had the economists and experts at Haina Investment compile data from the past few years."
"Didn't you say the financial market has been very calm these past two years? There haven't been any opportunities to make a move. Does this mean an opportunity has suddenly appeared?"
"Opportunities don't exist; they need to be created."
"Isn't that very risky?"
Xing Baohua sighed and nodded, then continued, "My diversified investments are too risky. Without a large income stream, I can't cover all my expenses, not to mention the monthly bank interest payments. So, I need to find a way to make money."
