Chapter 1320 The Pearl of the Pacific (Second update, please subscribe)

Dongning is the easternmost city in Southeast Asia. Although it is thousands of kilometers away from the main island, after fourteen years of development, Dongning has long been It has developed into a modern metropolis and is known as "the brightest pearl in the Western Pacific" because of its prosperity.

Although it is young, Dongning has a very complete industry. It not only has industrial consumer industries such as textiles and toys, but also has industries such as metallurgy, shipbuilding, automobiles, and electronics, and even the aircraft manufacturing industry—— Gulfstream is located in Dongning.

In the past two months, Gulfstream has been the most dazzling star on the Yongan Stock Exchange. After the "Cuban Missile Crisis", it received orders for more than 700 aircraft. Overnight, Gulfstream and others The Gulfstream business jet has become the most beautiful aircraft on the market.

However, faced with the crazy influx of orders, Tian Wenxuan, as the company manager, was not fooled by the results in front of him. On the contrary, he saw a new crisis. To be more precise, he saw a new crisis. competitors.

"Global Express!"

In the office, Tian Wenxuan pointed to a picture on the wall and said:

"As we all know, the successful resolution of this crisis was the reason why you personally went to Moscow to mediate. And the most fundamental reason why he was able to arrive in Moscow within a few hours was the "Global Express."

Like many people, after learning that a passenger plane like the "Global Express" can fly as close as two kilometers. Tian Wenxuan was stunned when he flew at twice the speed of sound.

Perhaps for other aircraft companies, Global Express is just a supersonic aircraft, but for Gulfstream, it is the biggest competitor. After all, the Global Express is, to a certain extent, just a slightly larger business jet.

And what about the Gulfstream?

It’s a business jet! The slightly smaller business jets were definitely competitors. Whenever he thought of this, he couldn't sleep at night. After all, that was Nanyang Aviation Industries, a giant in the aviation industry!

"Global Express, this is the world's first supersonic passenger aircraft, and this 48-seat aircraft has a high degree of overlap with our Gulfstream in terms of mission nature. We all know why those people buy the Gulfstream , just to be able to fly to a safe place as soon as possible when a crisis occurs. In this case, Global Express is undoubtedly more suitable for them than Gulfstream. After all, the speed of the Global Express is very fast! , however, its shortcomings are also very obvious-the operating cost is too high and does not meet most people’s requirements for private jets.”

As a designer of Gulfstream, Chen Yuanping puts economy first when designing. In his opinion, even the rich have economic requirements for business aircraft. After all, no one’s money is blown by the strong wind. of.

“Supersonic passenger aircraft may be able to meet their speed requirements, but the usual operating costs are far more than the Gulfstream. I believe that most of the time, they will still choose the Gulfstream. After all, the curved flow can meet their large speed requirements. Most needs.”

“The truth is this, but we must see that the advantages of Gulfstream are not obvious.”

Tian Wenxuan continued.

“There is no advantage in speed. The only advantage is range. In fact, there is not much advantage in range. There seems to be a 2000km difference between 6800 and 4800, but in fact the difference is not big.”


After a pause, Tian Wenxuan looked at Chen Yuanping and asked:

“Now we must consider one thing, which is what are the advantages of Gulfstream, and what should we use to convince our customers to choose Gulfstream? , not the Global Express or any other aircraft."

Looking at the unique and elegant "Global Express" in the photo, Chen Yuanping thought for a while and then said.

"Advantage, what is the advantage? Cheap?"

Obviously it is not just cheap, there should be other advantages as well, what should they be?

While Chen Yuanping was thinking, Tian Wenxuan turned his attention to the map. He looked at the world map and said:

"Gong Chen, have you read today's newspaper?"

" What?"

"Morgan came to Dongning for inspection."

"Morgan?"

Chen Yuanping asked with some confusion.

“Who is he?”

“The boss behind a large American consortium. I’m not just talking about him. In recent times, many American and European consortium bosses have come to us. Here, come to Nanyang for inspection, why do you think they all came here at this time?"

As he said this, the corners of Tian Wenxuan's mouth raised slightly, with a somewhat mysterious smile on his face.

“Why?”

Chen Yuanping said doubtfully.

“Come to invest?”

There is nothing strange about wealthy people from European and American countries coming to Nanyang to invest.

“Not just for investment, have you heard of the nuclear winter during the Cuban missile crisis?”

“Nuclear winter?”

"Yes, it is nuclear winter."

Tian Wenxuan pointed at the map and said:

"According to scientists' analysis, after the outbreak of nuclear war, the earth will definitely enter a nuclear winter, which is similar to the ice age. The ultra-low temperature may last for years, even decades, or hundreds of years, and in this case, the only place that is warm is the equator." Looking back at Chen Yuanping, Tian Wenxuan said with a smile:



“Although there are many countries near the equator, most of those countries have failed or are politically unstable. When order collapses, these countries will also fall into chaos. From the perspective of security and order Said that only one country would maintain the pre-war order in such an apocalyptic situation."

Chen Yuanping said directly:

“That must be us!”

“Yes, that’s right, it’s us!”

Tian Wenxuan pointed at the map and said:< br>
“This is also the reason why they came to Nanyang. No matter whether a "nuclear war" will break out or not, hedging is something they must consider, so they will invest in Nanyang so that even if a war occurs , they left the United States and Europe, and they could still live well by relying on their pre-war investments in Nanyang.”

This is the rich man!

As a senior manager, Tian Wenxuan can understand them. After all, "a gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall" is the most basic human heart.

“So, they need a long-range aircraft.”

The manager’s analysis surprised Chen Yuanping and said:

“A long-range aircraft?”


"Yes, it is a flight that can fly directly from New York to Dongning, and from London to Kuching."

Direct flight from New York to Dongning!

In an instant, Chen Yuanping was frightened by the manager's bold idea. He glanced at the map, made a slight estimate, and said:

"If you fly to New York, it will take about 15,000 kilometers. Even the C707-30 cannot fly that far. It is already the longest-range aircraft in the world.”

Although the C707-30 is the longest-range aircraft in the world, it can only fly so far. It’s only more than 12,000 kilometers, and you can’t fly to New York, you can only fly to Los Angeles.

"I know, that's why we need a product that allows the wealthy people in New York and London to take a direct flight to Nanyang as soon as possible when a crisis occurs, without the need to change places in the middle. After all, no one knows what will happen if you change places in the middle. What happened, so they need an aircraft like this, maybe..."

After thinking about it, Tian Wenxuan said:

"I'm thinking about whether we can make the aircraft bigger, With more fuel, we can even cooperate with BMW to develop a more fuel-efficient engine. The internal fuel can fly about 13,000 kilometers, and under special circumstances, it can be equipped with an external auxiliary fuel tank and fly more than 15,000 kilometers..."

Installing auxiliary fuel tanks for passenger aircraft, I have to say that as a manager, Tian Wenxuan is still very open-minded.

In fact, this is just a normal response to market demand. After all, capital will always It is profit-seeking. In the face of possible market demand, companies will always make corresponding adjustments immediately.

A nuclear war crisis has brought too many changes to the world. This change is in all aspects, from people's psychology to corporate production and design, everything has been deeply changed.

Change is always silent.

This morning, after a night's flight, Morgan, Mellon and their "Gulfstream" finally arrived in Dongning, and they immediately conducted an inspection of Dongning.

What they examined was not just the investment environment and geographical advantages. They had already had a basic understanding of these. In fact, from the perspective of trade with the United States, Dongning is undoubtedly the most suitable. Investment location, because it is closer to the United States, but Morgan is considering another area.

Not long after leaving the city, what appeared in front of everyone was a mountainous grassland. There were many cows on the grassland, and it looked like the grass was low due to wind.

"Mr. Morgan, this place is only 28 kilometers away from Dongning City. Although it is a tribal reservation, after years of help, it has entered a modern civilized society..."

Cheng Jinlun pointed out the window and introduced the pasture. At that time, he specifically mentioned the origin of this ranch - a real estate speculation more than ten years ago.

“...At that time, those speculators opened up large tracts of land here on the pretext of investing in ranches. As a result, because the country lifted the ban on luxury land, most of the speculators lost their money, and the ranches were just Ranch.”

Morgan is not interested in this past. What is he interested in?

It is the location here - far away from the city and surrounded by mountains. Even if there is any crisis, it is safe here. After all, no one will shoot nuclear missiles into the ravine.

Soon, they came to a small lake in the mountains. This was an artificial lake. Although the lake was not big, the scale of the hydropower plant was not large either.

“A small hydropower station of 5000KW.”

Morgan said:

“At any time, this hydropower station can supply power to the surroundings, and the environment here is very Pleasant, the temperature is just right...Okay, Paul, this is it.”

What are you doing here?

Of course he built his own new home!

Looking at the land in front of them, both Morgan and Paul fell into a certain silence. Their ancestors left Europe and immigrated to the United States, where they started a career, and now, they are coming to the United States. Come to this strange land.

Of course, this is just a home for them, a spare home!

After getting far away from their home, Morgan and Paul left the alpine grassland. When returning to the city, Morgan parked the car at a hotel on the road. On the way here, he paid attention Come to this hotel in the middle of the mountain.
