Chapter 845 Negative Example

After Lan Lan left, Fan Heng and Fan Wubing exchanged their thoughts today.

Today's events. The progress is pretty good. In fact, Fan Wubing has long wanted to promote the reform of state-owned enterprises in Lingxi Province, but he has not found a breakthrough, or a suitable opportunity. This time Fan Heng came to Lingxi Province to inspect the work, which gave him a good opportunity to intervene.

In fact, Fan Wubing has long wanted to intervene in the large aircraft project, but unfortunately he has never made up his mind, and has not seriously considered this matter. This visit to Lingxi allowed him to understand the starting process of the domestic large aircraft project. Unexpectedly, a large aircraft had already been launched 19 years ago, but it was delayed artificially due to economic reasons and some historical reasons that were not known to outsiders. Now, looking back and thinking carefully, this matter can no longer be delayed.

If I don't promote this project, it is likely that I will have to wait another ten years. How many decades can a person have to squander in his life? Fan Wubing believes that he can't sit back and watch this situation happen.

"I asked an expert to calculate that the entire large aircraft project will cost about 150 billion. That is about 20 billion US dollars. Do you have money on hand recently?" Fan Heng asked his son Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing nodded and said, "That's not a problem. I have been cashing out in the Nasdaq market recently. It is more than enough to free up 20 billion US dollars."

"How much money did you cash out in the Nasdaq market? It feels like the US stock market is your ATM." Fan Heng asked his son with some curiosity.

"I haven't counted the specific figures, but there should be hundreds of billions of US dollars. In addition to the funds to be invested in the mineral resource markets in various places and some necessary expenses, there are at least 30 to 40 billion US dollars that have not been settled. It is obviously more appropriate to use it to invest in large aircraft projects now." Fan Wubing replied.

In fact, the most important point to invest in large aircraft projects is to have connections with the upper class. I believe that once this project is launched, various interest groups at home and abroad who benefit from the purchase of foreign aircraft will jump out to oppose it. In their hearts, there is no concept of the country, national dignity and people's interests. There is only a sense of money without any suspense.

Fan Wubing had also considered this issue, but he was not very worried about it. What was most troubling now was that the orders from Airbus in Europe or Boeing in the United States were basically political tools for China to bargain with foreign countries. Once he reopened the large aircraft project, the two companies would be the most affected. In this way, the resistance he encountered would obviously be very great.

Therefore, Fan Wubing also considered that he could not put forward his goals too directly. The first step should be taken cautiously, temporarily based on the integration of the domestic aviation manufacturing market.

Then, he would transform the production equipment and build the factory environment, build a new factory area according to the scale of large aircraft production, and strengthen the exchanges with the international aviation manufacturing industry by taking on the parts projects of Airbus or Boeing. After two or three years, when all conditions are ripe and the design blueprint of the large aircraft is perfected, it can be officially launched.

Fan Wubing believes that if we only consider domestic regional aircraft, it is not a big problem to finalize production within five years. However, to produce large passenger aircraft with more passenger capacity and stronger carrying capacity, such as large aircraft with a passenger capacity of more than 500 people, it requires stronger research and development capabilities and manufacturing technology, which is still difficult at present.

However, Fan Wubing also believes that as long as the funds are guaranteed and the enthusiasm of domestic aviation industry technical talents can be mobilized, it is not difficult to solve these problems. After all, under the original circumstances, China was able to develop transport aircraft, so at this time, there is no reason to be worse than before.

In the final analysis, as long as the Chinese do not engage in internal friction, they will burst out amazing creativity, there is no doubt about this.

"But there are dozens of domestic aircraft manufacturers. Have you integrated them all?" Fan Heng asked a very critical question.

"That's impossible. It's also about the survival of the fittest. Some aircraft manufacturers are only a shell left, and some have simply switched to production. Apart from a small number of technical talents, they don't have much value. This requires the introduction of competition. We will only accept those who have the strength to participate in this project. Initially, we will decide on about 15 manufacturing companies. There can be more research institutes, after all, the research and development tasks can be dispersed, which is more in line with the law of efficiency." Fan Wubing thought for a while and said to his father.

Fan Heng nodded, and then said to Fan Wubing, "This matter needs to find an expert in the industry to draw up a plan. After all, we are not familiar with this business."

Fan Wubing thought for a while and smiled, "Don't worry, I have an expert."

"Who? There are only a few domestic aviation industry experts-" Fan Heng asked.

"Not domestic, you know him, that old Jewish man Maximus." Fan Wubing said with a smile.

"Him? How could he be so familiar with our company?" Fan Heng asked with some surprise.

Fan Wubing replied with some emotion, "This is actually very easy to understand. The one who knows the operation of a company best is often not the company itself, but its competitors. Maximus has served Boeing for quite a long time. His understanding of China's aviation manufacturing industry is absolutely expert-level. From his perspective, he can make more objective judgments, especially since he is now in the same boat with me."

"Is this guy reliable?" Fan Heng asked.

"Yes, the Jews are cunning, but they have the best business reputation." Fan Wubing nodded and replied, "I am planning to let him serve as the general manager and director of the capital side after the integration. I believe the old man will be very enthusiastic about this."

Fan Wubing still thinks highly of the old man Maximus. The old man has worked in Hughes, Boeing and Lockheed Martin successively. He is a senior manager. He is not only knowledgeable, but also has a wide range of friends. Once he becomes his chief employee, he will definitely be rejuvenated in his new job.

Although most people are reluctant to accept such older employees, Fan Wubing believes that things are not static. With Maximus's position in the industry and his own financial and material support, he will definitely be able to win a place in the international market.

The father and son discussed for a while and talked about Pang Mingyu's matter.

This time, the two of them joined forces to deal with Pang Mingyu. Originally, they thought it would take more effort, but they didn't expect that Pang Mingyu's backyard would catch fire. Yang Lili and more than a dozen mistresses actually started a riot, causing a storm in the city, so that the leadership of Lingxi Province could no longer sit idly by or cover up, which saved the two of them a lot of trouble.

It can be imagined. Now Pang Mingyu has been completely abandoned by Lingxi Province because of this incident. The next thing is much simpler, but when it comes to the characterization of his case and the severity of the punishment, it becomes more important.

"Whether there are more powerful people behind this guy, it is estimated that it is certain. The problem now is that if the sentence is too heavy, Pang Mingyu will strike back and bite more people, and you will have a hard time cleaning up. What I mean is, stop when you are ahead. It is enough to clean up one vice-ministerial level person at a time. If too many people are involved, it is easy to cause unpredictable consequences. In the current situation, we can't withstand turmoil." Fan Wubing suggested to his father Fan Heng.

Fan Heng was not as simple as he was that day. After listening to Fan Wubing's words, he also thought seriously for a while, and then said, "The people from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will come tomorrow. We will not intervene in this matter. They are in charge of everything. We should not get too involved in this matter, so as not to please both sides. Of course, necessary attention should still be given. After all, this is a big case uncovered during my inspection work."

Fan Wubing nodded and agreed deeply.

At about twelve o'clock in the evening, Pang Mingyu finally rushed back to Ningshi, the provincial capital, from other places. However, he was stopped by someone as soon as he returned to his yard. Then the other party revealed his identity. It was the people from the provincial party committee and provincial government who were worried that he would run away after getting the news, so they waited for him to fall into the trap.

Of course, Pang Mingyu was not arrested in the name of double regulation, and the only excuse was that Hu Kezhi, the secretary of the provincial party committee, wanted to discuss important matters with him.

Although Pang Mingyu had realized that this matter was not normal, if he refused or resisted at this time, it would be considered as confirming his guilt. Therefore, he had to follow the visitor to the provincial party committee building, and then he was invited into the lounge and told to wait for the arrival of Secretary Hu Kezhi.

"Does it mean that I, Pang Mingyu, have really reached the end of my rope? You little people usually bow and nod when you see me, but now you can stand up and shout?" Pang Mingyu looked at the staff of the provincial party committee with a vigilant look, and felt a little angry.

But whether he was indignant or dissatisfied, Pang Mingyu knew very well that if even Hu Kezhi had the idea of ​​abandoning him, it would mean that the top leaders of the entire Lingxi Province had reached a consensus, and he, Pang Mingyu, would be kicked out of the officialdom and become a negative example of anti-corruption and integrity in the officialdom of Lingxi Province.

This life is really so entangled. One day ago, he was still the vice chairman of the Provincial CPPCC, and in the blink of an eye, he became a prisoner. The most ruthless thing is this officialdom that eats people without spitting out bones.
