Chapter 1971 Big News (Part 2)
Tens of billions to hundreds of billions of dollars of bailout funds disappeared in the blink of an eye after entering the financial system, but the market showed no signs of improvement. Where did the money go? Was it taken away by small buyers like Mr. Madoff and Guo Tailai? But the problem is that they arranged short-selling in advance. Obviously, someone bet against them at that time and bought the long side. What they earned was the part of the long-side bet.
In short, Guo Tailai's meaning is very clear, they are not taking the lead, so the meaning is almost the same. Of course, Lin Jiayi also understands this truth, but it is entirely possible to take advantage of the trend to sweep up some stocks that she and Guo Tai are optimistic about at low prices.
The news about the subprime mortgage crisis has almost never stopped. From the panic at the beginning to now, there are crises and crises almost every day. There are too many shouts. Ordinary people seem to have gotten used to it. They are no longer so sensitive and numb to the news of the crisis. up.
But "Transformers" still succeeded in creating a news that made people shine. After two months of screenings, Transformers' box office in China successfully reached 400 million, breaking the record of 350 million set by "Titanic" ten years ago, and topping the domestic box office.
What is exciting is that the lead actress in "Transformers" is out-and-out Chinese, not those Chinese who grew up in the United States, native Chinese. Although it is still an imported film from Hollywood, it is still related to It is related to the Chinese people. At least this record hangs on it, and people in Huaxia's film and television circle can raise their heads somewhat.
The box office in North America is also booming. Because of the strong support of AMC and the difference between the male and female protagonists, the box office in North America easily exceeded 400 million US dollars, and it was only close to reaching 500 million US dollars. The global box office has also been greatly boosted because of this. Although it has not yet reached the time for all the films to be released, it has already exceeded 900 million U.S. dollars, almost touching the verge of 1 billion. This global box office made Paramount happy from ear to ear. At this moment of raging crisis, being able to get such a high box office even boosted the stock price a bit.
A sequel was also on the agenda immediately. A sequel to a hit movie is the best investment, and it would be no wonder if Paramount didn't do it. Of course, if Chu Fei participated, the salary for the sequel would definitely increase, there is no doubt about it.
In September, Guo Tailai left Gusu, and he lost contact for more than 20 days. Clients couldn't contact him, and the company's people, including Lin Jiayi, couldn't contact Guo Tailai, but everything was still going on in an orderly manner without any influence. The various properties under Guo Tailai's name are all extremely stable, and no one or any department is looking for trouble.
Guo Tailai didn't show up until almost October, just in time for the National Day holiday, and spent a few days happily with his senior sister in the capital. As soon as he went to work after the holiday, Guo Tailai received a piece of good news.
Zhengyifang Technology has successfully developed a composite material for the fan blade at the cooling end of a turbofan based on high-performance carbon fiber. After testing, this new composite material is even more durable than that used in General Electric's GE90 aeroengine. The performance of the composite material of the 63 kg bird impact is even better, and the comprehensive performance is 15% higher than that of General Electric's material.
Now, Guo Tailai has better materials to use in the supersonic engine he is going to make. For this reason, Guo Tailai also viciously gave the R&D team a bonus, which made them dizzy.
Back then, Rolls-Royce almost went bankrupt in order to develop similar composite materials, and it took General Electric 30 years to develop it successfully. Now, there are also domestic products of the same type that are second to none, and the performance is even better.
Guo Tailai rushed back to Gusu excitedly and continued to work hard. In mid-October, two of the five Il-76 transport planes purchased by Guo Tailai through Abramovich were delivered ahead of schedule and flew to the commercial airport in Gusu smoothly.
Two planes could be delivered in such a short period of time, obviously he jumped in line to snatch other people's orders. When Guo Tailai called Abu to talk about this matter, he was a little worried that doing so would offend others. After all, this is not a good thing.
"Don't worry at all, G!" Abu didn't care about this, and replied with a smile: "The original buyers of these two orders suffered heavy losses due to the subprime mortgage crisis, and they don't know how to pay the final payment! You will take over the order for them. It's a relief, as long as you pay some deposit, you can cancel the order, they thank you before it's too late! There are two more that can be delivered early next year, for the same reason, only the last one may not be available until the end of next year or the beginning of the next year Official delivery."
"Temporarily having four planes is enough for business operations." Hearing Abu's explanation, Guo Tailai also felt relieved. This is also considered good news, which made Guo Tailai feel very happy.
At the beginning of November, Mr. T’s studio held a rare press conference, officially announcing that it has completed the design of the core engine of the civil supersonic aeroengine, and will start applying for China CAAC airworthiness certification in the follow-up research and development stage. At the same time, the application for FAA airworthiness certification will be carried out. It is conservatively estimated that Mr. T's studio will conduct a prototype ignition test at the end of June 2008.
The matching news is that the design company under the name of Guo Tailai will also preliminarily determine the appearance and performance of the private supersonic airliner based on the performance and size of this civil supersonic aeroengine, and carry out further in-depth design.
As soon as the spokesperson finished announcing the news, the reporters who came to the press conference became restless and raised their hands to ask questions.
To be honest, from the beginning of the year to the present, what everyone has heard most is the news of the subprime mortgage crisis, the stock market shock, and various companies filing for bankruptcy protection, and their ears are numb. The news released by Mr. T's studio is really refreshing!
However, this is not the most exciting thing. Everyone was surprised that Mr. T did not seem to have recruited enough aviation experts before, so why did he suddenly announce that the design of the core aircraft was completed in just a few months? This is an aero engine, not a car engine!
"This is easy to explain." The spokesperson's answer was concise: "You seem to have forgotten that our boss is an excellent engine expert. Not only the car engine, but the aero engine used in the flying motorcycle was personally improved by the boss. .”
The implication is that since the boss, Mr. T, can improve an aero engine, it seems that it is not unacceptable to design a new one.
Many people can't believe it, but this reason is still justified. After all, the aero-engine improved by Mr. T has already been used in motorcycles, and Luo Luo specially cooperated with Mr. T for this purpose. This is a fact that cannot be refuted. So, another question made everyone very curious.
How much has been spent on the preliminary design of this aero engine, and how much is it expected to cost in total?
"Ten billion!" The spokesperson pointed out a finger directly: "Ten billion yuan has been spent, and it is estimated that it will cost 20 billion, or even more."
Boom, the scene was once again a sensation. With this order of magnitude, countless people are wondering, where did Mr. T get so much money?
