Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 723 Little MacDonald

After the test flights of other airlines' aircraft, it was finally the Black Cloud aircraft's turn to make its debut. Bao Zixuan arranged for the passenger plane to be the first to appear. There was nothing new about the ground effect aircraft, and many people were already familiar with it. Moreover, Boeing and Airbus are eyeing them there. If they don’t take action, they may not even be able to drink the soup.

Regarding the HH-01 Phantom stealth aircraft, Bao Shaofu is not very worried. The world's militaries are watching, and there are no competitors. It can be said that it is a unique existence, and there is no need to worry about no orders. As long as the air forces of various countries are not blind, they all know the significance of this aircraft.

The only thing I worry about is the restriction of Batumi. You must know that this is the headquarters of Batumi. They will definitely pay attention to the export of advanced fighter aircraft. Hong Kong is still managed by the British, and some problems are not easy to deal with.

When the Black Cloud 919 passenger plane was launched, everyone had an illusion. How come the passenger plane produced by Heiyun Group is so similar to Figure 204? Bao Zixuan plagiarized so blatantly, so the Soviets were able to let him go. No matter how good the relationship is, you can't do this!

The announcer said: "What is preparing to take off on the runway now is the Heiyun 910 passenger aircraft. The appearance of the Heiyun 910 passenger aircraft is based on the Tu-154 passenger aircraft developed by the Soviet Tupolev Design Bureau. The Heiyun Group is responsible for the production of engines, control systems and Radar and other auxiliary equipment. Development began in July 1982, and the first prototype made its first flight in April 1983."

"The aircraft is equipped with 2 cockpit crew members and can effectively carry 210 passengers; the fuselage length is 46.14 meters; the wingspan is 41.8 meters; the cruising speed is 810 km/h to 850 km/h; the top speed is 900 km/h; the single maximum Flight distance: 7,000 kilometers; equipped with 2 HY-K-10 engines; maximum thrust of a single engine is 220 kN."

"It can achieve intercontinental flight, and its fuel consumption is more than 20% lower than that of similar aircraft. It is definitely an aircraft that can promote the development of civil aviation. Let's wait and see."

After the announcer's introduction, executives from Airbus, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas became nervous. Things designed by the Soviets have always been known for their durability. Fortunately, fuel consumption, controllability, and electronic equipment are lagging behind. It is at a disadvantage in the field of civil aviation, but Heiyun Group can make up for this shortcoming very well. It is unimaginable what kind of chemical reaction the two families will produce when they join forces.

In fact, McDonnell Douglas is most worried. Boeing has other aircraft models to support it. Even if the 757 and 767 projects fail, it doesn't matter much. Airbus can allocate resources across Europe. McDonnell Douglas, the third largest company in the world's civil aviation field, is very embarrassed. If it fails, it will easily withdraw from the civil aviation market.

At this time, in the McDonnell Douglas hangar, a young man frowned. He seemed to have made an important decision in his heart. After thinking about it, he directly asked someone to take him to Hangar 13.

Fuel economy is the main concept of Black Cloud Aircraft. Several oil crises have added to issues such as air pollution. As a result, major airlines have very detailed calculations of operating costs. Bao Zixuan wants to use the fuel-saving concept to pry open the market.

The young people from McDonnell Douglas came to Hangar 13 and saw many people discussing the Black Cloud 919 passenger aircraft. And he knows most of them. It seems that Heiyun Group should be able to get a lot of orders this time. It's better to find Bao Zixuan first, but we can't do nothing.

After stating their identity and purpose of visit, the staff did not dare to neglect. Quickly bring the young man to the boss. You must know that this man's father is one of the world's leading figures in the aviation industry, and he is still running the company.

Bao Zixuan knew this young man, but he only saw him in the video. This is the culprit behind the merger of McDonnell Douglas, a super-rich second generation who played a bad hand with his good cards.

The young man said to Mr. Bao: "Hello, Mr. Bao, I am McDonald; from McDonnell Douglas."

McDonnell Douglas is a large U.S. monopoly that manufactures aircraft and missiles. Founded in 1939 by James Smith Macdonald, it was called the Macdonald Aircraft Company. In 1967, it merged with Douglas Aircraft Company and changed its name to its current name.

And this McDonald is not the founder James Smith McDonald, but his son. People in the United States will call him Little McDonald.

This young man does not have the talent of his father, but his spirit is much higher than that of his father. When he was in charge of the entire McDonnell Douglas company, he wanted to surpass Boeing. McDonald Jr. wants to make the company unique in the United States and even the world; it cannot lose to Boeing in terms of civil aviation, and it cannot lose to Lockheed in terms of military fighter jets. But the ideal is full, but the reality is very cruel.

It was precisely because of these unrealistic ideas that McDonnell Douglas was eventually acquired by Boeing. Becoming a subsidiary and foundry of Boeing, if his father knew better, he would have to climb out and beat him.

Bao Zixuan didn't know how to evaluate this negative teaching material in the history of world aviation. However, since someone has already come to your door, you still have to be polite and give him the face he deserves.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. McDonald, your father is my idol. And we are also alumni, and his deeds are widely circulated at MIT."

The benefits of graduating from a prestigious school are once again reflected, and everyone can quickly find a common topic. Although little Macdonald doesn't like to be mentioned as his father, there are not many people who can become Bao Zixuan's idol. This is also an honor passed down by the family.

Little Macdonald smiled and said: "Don't be so polite, just call me Mike! My friends all call me that. I came here this time to discuss something with you."

After saying that, he looked around and saw that it was too noisy. I wanted to find a secluded place, obviously there was something important to discuss.

Of course Bao Zixuan understood what this meant, so he said, "Please come with me."

After the two people sat down in an office in Hangar 13, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Sorry, it's a bit too simple."

Little Macdonald said it didn't matter, he came here to talk to Bao Zixuan. To be precise, I am asking someone for help, and the environment does not matter at all.

Bao Zixuan: "I don't know why Mr. Mike came here. If you can be of use to Heiyun Group, please tell me. Although we don't know each other, we have heard about the reputation of McDonnell Douglas."

Little Macdonald didn't expect Bao Zixuan to be so direct and get to the point. His character is also relatively straightforward, and there is nothing he dare not say in the United States. The American people have become accustomed to the frequent criticism of Boeing and Lockheed in the media.

Little Macdonald smiled and said: "Mr. Bao is really straightforward. It seems that we can really become friends. Then I will get straight to the point and won't spare any detours."

"I came here this time because I want to cooperate with Heiyun Group on a project. I wonder if Mr. Bao is interested."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that this super rich second generation would come to discuss cooperation. There was something unusual about it. Moreover, he only saw a new airliner and was about to cooperate with Heiyun. Could it be that Little Macdonald felt that he couldn't do it.

Little MacDonald is not as miserable as people think, he is just stuck in running the company. This time I saw that Heiyun Group actually cooperated with the Soviets to produce aircraft, so there would not be much problem in cooperating with McDonnell Douglas. Bao Zixuan is a businessman and knows how to use external forces. He must know that in the aviation field, it is not easy for a new recruit to get ahead.

Bao Zixuan thought for a while and said: "No company will refuse to cooperate with McDonnell Douglas. Of course I am interested. I just don't know where Mr. Mike wants to cooperate. You must know that in the field of aviation manufacturing, the black cloud in front of McDonnell Douglas is just Elementary school level.”

Little Macdonald didn't expect Bao Zixuan to be so low-key and at the same time lower his posture. Now no one dares to say that Heiyun Group's aircraft manufacturing is at the level of a primary school student. Ground effect aircraft alone have already left many aviation manufacturing companies in the dust. Now, medium and large passenger planes with a capacity of more than 200 people have been manufactured; the stealth plane that bombed Iran has been determined to be from Heiyun. Although McDonnell Douglas is powerful, it does not dare to stand up in front of the black cloud.

If his father could still rely on his industry reputation to suppress Bao Zixuan, he might as well forget about his reputation on the streets! Little Macdonald knows that being polite to you is more of an appearance, and you may not necessarily think highly of him, a rich second generation, in your heart.

You must know that Bao Zixuan's contribution in the aviation field is obvious to all. The three-rotor engine alone has made him famous. He is also a character that can be written into aviation textbooks, coupled with the terrifying strength of the Black Cloud Group. If it comes down to hard power, none of the ten McDonnell Douglas companies can compete with this guy. Don't be fooled by this guy's young appearance.

Little MacDonald was not used to Bao Zixuan's modesty, and he began to think wildly, not knowing what to say.
