Chapter 1972 Watching the Laugh
"How is that possible, Mr. Pan? You also understand that the current plan is much bigger than the general aviation company you planned, isn't it?" Zhou Xingyu said with a smile.
He really didn't understand why his boss was so attracted to these girls who wanted to do something, and here was another one in front of him.
From the time when Pan Shimin was persuaded by his boss to join the company and he came into contact with her, Zhou Xingyu came to the very clear conclusion that this was really not a delicate girl with high ambitions but low ambitions, but a woman with many talents. A really talented girl.
Her experience is similar to Mr. Jin's. She also returned from studying abroad, joined a state-owned enterprise, a well-known domestic airline, and then also chose to leave.
Similarly, during her time in a state-owned enterprise, she also saw a direction, which was the general navigation field that she had been recommending to Feng Yiping.
But from this aspect, she can definitely be called a professional.
However, the boss is not that interested in a project that is sure to succeed.
His statement that when choosing to enter an industry, it is best to think about bringing changes to the industry, is really not just talk.
The aviation industry is a special industry with huge investment, but there are too many regulations that are difficult to change. With their strength, it is easy to succeed after entering, but it is very difficult to change this industry.
This industry is an industry where safety comes first. Many times, safety is a higher option than service and user experience.
That is to say, there are many aspects of this industry that cannot be changed. Once changed, it will threaten the life and property safety of users and the company.
This may be the reason why Mr. Feng is not too keen on it.
"More importantly, the current plan is much more meaningful than your general aviation company, isn't it?"
"The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong," said Pan Shimin, who looked equally excited and excited. "What kind of private version of the 863 plan? Why is it that we still don't know exactly what projects we will be engaged in? Isn't this a lie?"
"Don't think that using a letter like π as a code name will make me feel so mysterious and high-end. Mr. Zhou, I am going to the United States and I want to talk to Mr. Feng face to face..."
"Mr. Pan, you have to understand that if a department that keeps up with the forefront of science like this can confirm all projects now, it would be a real scam, right?" Zhou Xingyu advised.
"Besides, there is not at least one clear direction at the moment, right? At least, artificial intelligence, which covers a wide range of fields, is a major project that the π department will continue to invest in from now on. The future development and development of this major project Application, you should be clear about it by now, right,"
Pan Shimin looked like he had a toothache and said, "I know very well that Mr. Feng's description of the future development prospects of this project is like science fiction, so I feel uneasy,"
"More than a hundred or two hundred years ago, flying was a goal that people thought was impossible, wasn't it? With the rapid development of electronics, computers, communication technology, and the Internet, I think some of the prospects of artificial intelligence described by Mr. Feng , not only does it not look like science fiction, but it is very likely that it will be effectively applied in a short period of time, for example, cars that can drive themselves, right?"
"For those that are really unrealistic, you should look at the ideas we have received recently. Among them, there are many ideas that are truly risky, such as the space elevator project,"
This was first proposed by Russian scientists in the 1970s. It seemed like a fantasy at the time, but later, after step by step improvement, everyone felt that this might be an idea that did not seem unachievable.
It is nothing more than building a space station in geostationary orbit, then hanging a "cable" capable of transporting people and cargo, and anchoring it on the equator.
Now more and more countries and institutions, including the United States and Russia, which are the most powerful in the aerospace field, have announced investments in this field. To this end, they have also organized a related international conference called International Ladder Conference.
"I know," Pan Shimin nodded, "I believe that the country will burn money for some projects, but after all, we are just a company, how can we burn money for these projects with great uncertainty?"
This is one of the reasons why her attitude has been somewhat inconsistent recently.
"No, you are just thinking wrong. Maybe some of the phenomena you have come across make you think that only state units spend money indiscriminately. In fact, this is not the case. Every project carried out by the state has not been carefully verified, because What they spend is people’s money, taxpayers’ money,”
"On the contrary, private companies like ours can spend money more freely, because all the money is invested by Mr. Feng personally,"
"Haha, are you trying to say that you think Mr. Feng is stupid? You have to risk failure, risk a large amount of investment being wasted, and carry out some plans that seem very unrealistic?"
Pan Shimin nodded, it was indeed the case, so she felt that she seemed to have been deceived by Feng Yiping. Please, how could such a smart person do such a thing?
"How is it possible, how could Mr. Feng do such a thing?" Zhou Xingyu's thoughts were the same as hers, "Think about it, we are only talking about the unmanned aerial vehicle project, whether it is for military or civilian use, as long as we If there is a breakthrough in research and development, how much return will it bring to us?”
"For drones in the military field, the unit price must be at least millions of dollars,"
At this time, the U.S. Predator drone has been deployed, and its purchase price is close to 15 million US dollars per unit, and with the update of technology, the unit price is still rising.
"For civilian fields, of course, the price is cheap. Because of different specifications, it may be thousands to tens of thousands, but think about it, how big will the sales volume be in the civilian field?"
Yes, let alone the application of civilian drones in some relatively professional fields mentioned by Feng Yiping, such as exploration, photography, electricity, energy, environmental protection, including police and other fields, Pan Shimin believes that in some circles, drones will probably become standard. What, you don't bring a drone when you go out to play?
As long as this market starts, how big will the sales volume of consumer drones be? Pan Shimin believes that it will definitely be an incredible number for himself.
And if Feng Yiping can take the lead in the research and development of the whole machine and core components, then the future profit will naturally be expected.
There are also related remote control and unmanned driving technologies, how can their application prospects be small?
"So, Mr. Pan, work hard. I believe that it won't take long for you to realize that your current choice is very wise, and it couldn't be wiser,"
"But after all, what we are doing now is not the infrastructure of acquiring a half-finished airport and then building an airport?"
"Mr. Pan," Zhou Xingyu said with a smile, "Do you remember that this is exactly what you envisioned,"
"But our ideas after this are different. My general aviation company plan is a very feasible project, but the π department, hey, why am I out?" She realized at this time that she had walked out of the meeting room with Zhou Xingyu, "We haven't finished talking yet, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou,"
"Mr. Pan, the funds will be in place soon, you should start the acquisition of the airport immediately," Zhou Xingyu, who had already walked a distance away, said.
To be honest, even he felt that the boss's plan was a little unreliable.
He still agreed with Jin Ling's view that this was just a big kid who wanted to do things according to his own interests after he had money.
…………
When a new team is formed, the old team will naturally break up. This is an inevitable law.
Director Yang, like in the past, carried his black briefcase and hurried out of a building in the capital, still looking busy with official business and important events.
Only a few people could see that Director Yang, who was once proud and confident, was a little flustered today, both in his figure and steps, revealing some helplessness and weakness.
It was the season of revival of all things. Director Yang's hair, which used to look black and thick, now looked as if it was covered with a layer of silver frost, without any luster.
Alas, think about it, for those of them who have great ambitions, who would feel good about applying for sick retirement in such a young age?
When Director Yang went out today, there was no special car waiting in front of the door. When he walked to the side of the road to wait for a taxi, he couldn't help but look back for a long time to stare at the place where he had worked and carried many of his dreams.
Looking and thinking, his body unconsciously hunched up.
"Beep beep," the horn of the car next to him woke him up from his meditation. Suddenly, the majesty of many years returned to him. He frowned and looked over with some dissatisfaction. In an instant, he felt that he no longer had any rights and no foundation to support his "king's gaze", but it was too late to change.
This made him feel more depressed and angry. Why, a tiger in a flat land was bullied by a dog?
But soon, he shouted in surprise, "Old Chen?"
The face in the back seat of the Audi that stopped beside him, wasn't it Old Chen?
"Director Yang," Old Chen looked at him from the car with a smile.
Director Yang suddenly felt warm in his heart, and felt like he had seen a relative. This was the first time he felt that he was so close to Old Chen.
"Old Chen, I really didn't expect you to come here today," he sighed.
"We two old brothers, find a place to sit?" At this time, he felt like a wanderer at the same time.
However, he couldn't open the door of the Audi, and Lao Chen, who was sitting steadily, obviously had no intention of helping him open the door.
"Lao Chen?"
"Director Yang, hehe, seeing you like this, I feel relieved, hahahaha,"
