reborn in the fiery age

No one knows how many hours the service life of the Yunshi aircraft is. The experiments are insufficient, but it is estimated that it will not exceed [-] hours. How can such data be used in civil aviation, so Sun Zujie mentioned the service life of the aircraft and shook his head while talking. When they saw his reaction, they lowered their heads, and they knew it well.

Sun Zujie continued, "There are still many projects that can continue to be tackled in Yunshi. At present, relevant experts are screening. As long as it involves industrial foundation problems, not only Huaxia Aircraft, but also Huaxia Automobile may encounter them. This one will be based on priorities. Re-organization will be carried out, and the Huatou Information Coordination Department will discuss with each brother unit and give a specific plan at that time."

This is Sun Zujie's idea. There are too many high technologies in Yunshi, which are the crystallization of industries. Some can be used in other industries. As long as they are profitable, they will continue to work. Some are unique businesses, which are too difficult. If it is large or the value of the project is not so great at present, it will be pushed back.

There must be some people who have not been arranged, but there are too many R&D projects under Huatou, and other things can be arranged for them. After finally catching so many top experts, they have to stay no matter what.

Even if the car project can’t accommodate so many people, there will be cooperation with East Germany’s locomotive project later. Although the East German people have not yet been finalized, Sun Zujie is sure that East Germany will transfer technology sooner or later. At that time, there will be a gang of big dogs like the railway system. He doesn't have to worry about the research and development personnel being unable to let go of the money.

Sun Zujie talked a lot about the retreat of the employees. In fact, for the vast majority of people, they are thinking about life issues. Now that Huatou has considered all these, everyone's anger has been gradually resolved. .

This special symposium lasted for a whole day, and Sun Zujie finally settled the comrades around the guest house.After the crowd slowly dispersed, he felt a headache and rubbed his head fiercely. He knew very well that all of today had just begun.

Sure enough, when he left Shanghai to go to the capital, an open letter from Shanghai to the central government was released. The open letter opposed the discontinuation of Yunshi, let alone the cooperation with McDonnell Douglas, and believed that it was necessary to develop civil aviation on the basis of Yunshi. cause.

This was a very strong rebound, but Sun Zujie couldn't care about it at this time, because Huatou's great speculation in South America has reached a climax.

Following the failure of Argentina in the Falklands War, the Argentine military government, which failed to transfer domestic conflicts through the war, collapsed, and the country fell into chaos. The bond market, foreign exchange market, and stock market were in a mess. Huatou followed Wall Street to plunder the wealth of the Argentine people.

Then there's Mexico, forced to declare insolvency in August and watch 20 years of accumulation evaporate.

As one country after another declared insolvency of foreign debts, Huatou’s income continued to increase.In such a special period, the new Huaguo Party Congress was held.

This time, there were many representatives from Huatou. Sun Zujie, Zheng Fei, Geng Zhaojie and others sat together, listened carefully to the report, and participated in the discussion of various reports.

After the meeting, Sun Zujie immediately flew to the United States to arrange the withdrawal of Huatou's related investment funds.Through two consecutive cooperations with Wall Street, Huatou has been recognized by the international financial community despite its mediocre strength.

Therefore, around Huatou's use of a large amount of foreign exchange, Wall Street began to worry about him again.Fortunately, Sun Zujie also brought new projects.Traveling with him are many senior executives and technical experts of Huaxia Aircraft, who will carry out substantive negotiations with McDonnell Douglas Aircraft.

Although Shanghai's open letter caused quite a stir, Sun Zujie's voluntary scapegoating behavior still aroused the favor of some high-level officials. Therefore, the superiors did not set up any obstacles to Sun Zujie's behavior of leading the Huafei delegation to visit this time.

At this time, the series of test flights of Yunshi has actually stopped. Although there is no central document to confirm this matter, the Finance Department of Huatou strictly ordered Huaxia Aircraft not to arrange test flight funds for the Yunshi project. In fact, it announced the discontinuation of Yunshi. .

Therefore, due to helplessness, the Civil Aircraft Design Institute had to start the formulation of the next-generation aircraft pre-research plan. Fortunately, Huatou allocated a part of the funds to allow them to continue, although they withheld it.

Huatou even prepared [-] Tianyi first-generation computers and the most primitive CAD design software for them. In any case, with such an attitude, Minji's injured soul finally received a lot of comfort.

The visits of many leaders of the Shanghai Aircraft Factory also represent that the negotiation with the McDonnell Douglas project has entered a substantive stage. At this point, everyone understands the general trend, so the Shanghai Aircraft Factory has also begun to think about the disposal of the Yunshi production line.

All walks of life in the United States are very sensitive to these news, so the delegation found out that they were warmly welcomed as soon as they got off the plane, especially Sun Zujie, who was surprised to find that there were only so many old friends at the airport.

Chapter 262

McDonald Jr., the president of McDonnell Douglas, appeared first, and Mr. Zhang Zhenzhong, a representative of the US project team who had met with Sun Zujie several times, introduced them.

The two shook hands, and then introduced each other's entourages. Only then did Sun Zujie discover that Kapman, the representative of Wall Street, and Smith, the representative of the military industry group, also appeared at the airport.

Sun Zujie hugged them one by one, and then said very unexpectedly, "I am very happy to see two old friends in beautiful St. Louis."

Kapman said with a smile, "Dear Sun, congratulations on your promotion."

Sun Zujie was a little surprised that Kapman's news was well-informed. He said with a smile, "You are really well-informed."

Smith took it over, "Sun, you are a big shot now, of course you will attract a lot of attention."

Sun Zujie smiled slightly, "Thank you for your cooperation, otherwise I would not be where I am today. I hope Huatou can strengthen cooperation with you in the future."

"Of course, this is also our common expectation."

After greetings at the airport for a while, the delegation was sent to the McDonnell Douglas headquarters. After visiting the spectacular aircraft assembly line, the negotiation between Huatou and McDonnell Douglas officially entered the substantive stage.

Although Sun Zujie paid attention to this kind of negotiation, he didn't need to end it in person. All he had to do now was to attend one party after another to get to know the real big shots in the United States.

Now he is qualified to know these big shots, and the reason why so many big shots give him face is because Huatou, which he is officially at the helm of, is already a behemoth, and its position in the industry in China is becoming more and more important.

The mountain never changes, and Sun Zujie is very likely to meet and cooperate with them in the future, so it is necessary to get acquainted with them.

During this process, Sun Zujie also took time to attend the launch event of Tianyi's new generation of game consoles. This was a long-planned attack by Tianyi Group, hoping to gain dominance in the US market with the new generation of game consoles and a variety of random excellent games.

The timing of this press conference was very good. There was only less than three months before the peak season of Christmas, so Atari had no time to organize a counterattack, and could only watch Tianyi attack the city.

This time, game console sellers from all walks of life in the United States were invited to participate in the Tianyi conference. When they saw the new side-scrolling games running smoothly on the Tianyi [-]nd generation home console, everyone realized that the era of Atari was about to pass. .

The technology of the two companies has opened up a generation, and the price of the Tianyi second-generation game console is the same as that of Atari's home console.

There were also many people from the media industry at the scene. It is estimated that Tianyi spent a lot of money, but these people's willingness to come showed their position.Who let the domineering Warner have so many enemies, many people are happy to cause them some trouble.

So in just one week, the second generation of Tianyi game consoles have already started selling well in the United States, even though the number of games attached to the Tianyi game is not very large.

But compared to the countless rubbish released by Atari, Tianyi's games are too novel and exquisite, and there is no harm if there is no comparison. Therefore, American game fans who bought Tianyi [-]nd generation game consoles promote Tianyi games in various ways. It also drove the hot sales of Tianyi handheld and arcade machines.

The TV news was broadcasting game fanatics happily playing the new game, and the TV was turned off with a snap.

"Gentlemen, look at these TV news, now my ears are full of Tianyi. Atari is the king of game consoles in the United States, but where is Atari now, where is it?

I must remind gentlemen that the stock price of Atari has plummeted by 30.00% in just five days.Wall Street is very dissatisfied with the slow response of the board of directors. I ask you to find a way to defeat those arrogant Chinese people immediately. "

The representative of the controlling party, Warner, arrogantly reprimanded Atari's board of directors. Apparently, in the face of Tianyi Games' fierce attack, Atari's response was too slow, which caused extreme dissatisfaction among major shareholders.

Atari's chairman, Kasar, who was a lingerie businessman, looked very ugly. He was not well prepared for this sudden attack from Tianyi Games.

As for how to fight the battle, Atari had long had a heated debate. The opponent was a generation ahead in technology, and the price was still exactly the same. This was forcing Atari to die.

A director asked cautiously, "Can we sue Tianyi Games for dumping?"

A director immediately shook his head, "Even if we win, what can we do? If we lose the market, we will never come back."

"As far as I know, Tianyi Group outsources a large number of development projects to Huaguo, so their cost is very low. Even if we sue, it is unlikely to succeed. Don't forget, they also have a lot of lawyers."

These people suddenly stared wide-eyed. There are no technical backgrounds on the board of directors, so they don't understand what the game console is all about.

Cassar gritted his teeth and proposed a plan, "Our next-generation game console must be accelerated, and it must be released in the first half of next year.

Before that, we must develop a new game that can resist Tianyi's attack as soon as possible, and we must rush to release it before Christmas, so as to block the sales of Tianyi game consoles during the Christmas holiday. "

Casal regretted his discipline over the engineers this year. As a result, these people resigned from Atari on one side and went to Tianyi on the other. With the help of these engineers, Tianyi is now ahead of them. New products, these damn Chinese people.

But even so, he wasn't too flustered.At present, there are more than 2000 million Atari game consoles in the market, while Tianyi only has 200 million. The huge difference in quantity cannot be made up by a new game console.

So as long as there is an ace game, everything can be changed, and he has this confidence.As for the opponent's technology is a generation advanced, but what's the use of that, how many games does Tianyi have, Atari can definitely win by quantity.

"Mr. Casal, what's your suggestion?"

"We must speed up ET's game copyright negotiations, and time is running out."

Atari hopes to buy the game adaptation rights of the hit movie ET, but the negotiation is quite difficult because the other party's asking price is too high.

But by this time, Atari couldn't wait, and they were ready to accept the harsh asking price of their opponents.
