Chapter 1188 UFO Incident 9
After arranging the British affairs, Bao Zixuan wanted to take a good rest. To be honest, my mentality has changed a lot since my daughter was born. After all, as a father, taking care of and accompanying his children is an obligation he must fulfill. But things often don't go as people want, especially when the Heiyun Group is at the forefront.
Dominique Dassault, a representative of the French company Dassault and the grandson of its founder Marcel Dassault, came to Xiangjiang in person. The younger generation didn’t like developing aircraft very much, so the old Dassault set his sights on the third generation. Among so many children, Dominique Dassault is the most valued.
And in order to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, Doninique Dassault is not only very ambitious, but also puts in a lot of effort. He is a very scheming person, but his abilities are definitely not bad.
The old Dassault graduated from the French Aerospace School, and Dominique Dassault was admitted to this school through his own hard work. He became an alumnus with his grandfather and did not rely on anyone. He is definitely the first person in the entire Dassault family. After all, other children more or less need family resources to enter university.
To say that this school is not easy, at least it has a long-standing reputation in the international aerospace industry.
The French National School of Aeronautics and Astronautics has a history dating back to 1909. An engineering official named Roche founded the Ecole Supérieure des Aeronautiques et Mechaniques in Paris. It was the first aeronautical engineering school in the world at that time and the prototype of today's École Nationale Supérieure des Aeronautiques et l'Aviation in France. In 1930, it became a national school and was renamed the National Aviation College. In 1968, the college, together with the French National University of Civil Aviation, moved to Toulouse, a famous aerospace city in France. In 1972, it was renamed École Nationale Supérieure des Aeronautiques and Astronautics.
At present, the school is affiliated to the French Ministry of Defense. It is one of the most prestigious key French universities, the world's first specialized aerospace engineering school, the most famous institution of higher learning in the field of aerospace in Europe, and a world-recognized leader in the field of aviation and aerospace. One of the famous universities.
Being able to rely on his own ability to get into the highest aerospace university in France shows that Dominique Dassault is still very capable, at least much better than ordinary young men and rich second generations.
The old Dassault also knew that his time was running out and he still had his son; if he wanted his grandson to take over the company directly, many people would probably be unconvinced. But letting people who don’t understand aircraft R&D and production manage Dassault would be an absolute disaster. Therefore, every effort is made to cultivate Dominique Dassault, with the purpose of making him grow up quickly and have the strength and ability to compete with his uncles for company management rights.
Sending him to Xiangjiang on a business trip this time was a kind of training. You must know what weapons and equipment the Black Cloud Group has developed that makes Americans so crazy. Although Dassault has made some achievements in the field of aircraft research and development. But even the old Dassault has to admit that the current technical level is definitely not as good as that of the Americans.
How could he not be curious about the technology and production lines that even Americans needed to introduce? His age no longer allowed him to travel long distances, so he could only send someone over to understand the situation. Generally speaking, professional managers do not have enough weight, but Xiangjiang still attaches great importance to family inheritance. Dominique Dassault became the most suitable candidate, and he could also communicate with Bao Zixuan.
Time goes back to 2 days ago, when the richest man Bao was negotiating at the Governor's Mansion; the headquarters of the French Dassault Company, the old Dassault office.
Old Dassault was explaining something, and the young man standing next to him was his grandson-Dominique Dassault.
It should be said that Dominic is already 40 years old, which is the most golden age for men, but who gives the family the longevity gene! The most important thing is that people who live longer are not confused at all.
In a previous life, in December 1985, in the workshop of the Santa Cruz Dassault Company, Marcel Dassault stared approvingly at his latest product, the first Tornado fighter prototype. The aircraft was designed by computer, however, if necessary, the great aircraft builder would redesign the wings to improve performance, as he had done with many aircraft in the past.
During the period from 1947 to the end of 1985, Dassault received orders for 6,461 civilian or military aircraft, most of which were exported. Using its own capital investments, the company successfully launched 24 different models of aircraft over a period of 25 years. This is also unique in the world. Not all of the plans became commercial products, and some were far from them, but they helped establish France's technological prestige and provide countries around the world with reliable alternatives to the products of the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union.
You must know that the old Dassault was born in 1892 and is 93 years old this year. It is difficult for ordinary people to live to this age, let alone design cutting-edge weapons and equipment such as aircraft. This shows how great he is, at least until the day he dies; he is still sober and can continue to work.
Old Dassault said with a smile: "Dominique, you should have heard about the deal between the U.S. military and the Black Cloud Group. After all, the media has reported overwhelmingly in recent days. What do you think of this, or what do you think of the United States?" What does it mean to be human.”
This is a test for himself, but fortunately Dominique Dassault has been prepared. It is not that easy to bypass my uncle and let my grandfather directly hand over the management of the company to him; outsiders cannot feel the hard work he put in during this period.
Dominique Dassault: "The Black Cloud Group must have developed weapons and equipment that make Americans feel threatened. The strategic level and danger may be higher than the Phantom stealth fighter bomber. Of course, this is not very accurate. After all, the United States The research and development of stealth aircraft has never stopped, and the technical level is definitely not weak."
"Then there is another explanation. The U.S. military feels that it cannot develop this product in a short time, so it wants to directly introduce technology and production lines from Heiyun Group."
"Bao Zixuan, like us, also studied aviation; therefore, he invested more in research and development than any other aircraft manufacturing company. After all, Heiyun Group's other projects are really profitable."
"Although it is a rising star, with the huge investment in research and development and its talented brain, it is not surprising to develop any product."
Old Dassault was very pleased to hear his grandson's analysis, which at least proved that this kid was thinking. He didn't think about other members of the family and only wanted to manage the company; he didn't know why Dassault was able to survive in the crack between the two major powers, the United States and the Soviet Union.
Old Dassault: "I want to send you to Xiangjiang to talk with Bao Zixuan. The British have already launched operations. They are close to the water and have a natural advantage. But when it comes to fighter jet development and manufacturing, the British are no longer enough."
"However, the technical strength in aviation cannot be underestimated. Rolls-Royce and British Aerospace just lack an opportunity. If they seize the opportunity, they will definitely become Dassault's biggest competitor in the future."
"If British Aerospace follows the Americans and directly introduces technology and production lines from Heiyun Group, then many orders belonging to Dassault will inevitably be snatched away by the British; Dassault must not lag behind in this competition."
"Let's see what products Heiyun Group has developed. If possible, no matter how expensive it is, the technology and production lines must be introduced back to the country."
The Americans cannot produce it themselves, which in disguise shows that it is difficult for Dassault to develop and produce products, so directly introducing technology and production lines is the best option.
And the old Dassault also guessed some, it must be unique weapons and equipment. It will even subvert people's past perceptions, otherwise the US military would never do this.
Dominique Dassault: "I'm going to prepare gifts and leave tonight."
Hearing this, Old Dassault was very pleased. This grandson is not only a qualified engineer; he also knows the ways of business management and the way of dealing with people.
Bao Zixuan's daughter had just been born not long ago, so Xiangjiang would definitely have to express her feelings in the past. This was the most basic politeness issue. If you don't hit the smiling person, you have the bonus of being a member of the Dassault family; I believe that this richest man in Hong Kong will have to be a bit thin.
Old Dassault: "You decide what matters on your own, and I will give you my full support from behind. Bao Zixuan is very efficient and likes to be straightforward in his negotiation style. You can start from this aspect."
In fact, the old Dassault also understands that when Dominique Dassault takes the lead for the first time, he needs to be properly lured from the side. Having such an opportunity at the age of 40 is unimaginable in other companies; but at Dassault, everyone has become accustomed to it. Not to mention the grandchildren, there are still a few sons who hold idle positions in the company. Although he seems to have a high position, he can't make the final decision on many things. Who makes the old Dassault so energetic?
