Chapter 751 Officially Takes Office as Chief Planner

"Technology-related links..."

Chang Haonan lowered his head and thought for a moment, and roughly understood why Lin Zuoming was a little anxious today.

Although the group's leadership, except for a chief accountant, are all technical backgrounds, except for himself, everyone else has completely transferred to administrative positions and is no longer responsible for front-line research and development work. This matter naturally has to be handled by him as the chief planner.

"Or report on the progress of the turbojet 6D and turbofan 10? The progress of these two models is still relatively optimistic, and I am more familiar with the situation."

Chang Haonan first thought of the simplest way.

"Well..."

Lin Zuoming hesitated:

"If there is really no way, it is not impossible. Mr. Chang, you have enough influence, you can go up and make a report."

"But what Mr. Zhu means is that the previous model was approved under the framework of the Aviation Industry Corporation after all. It is no problem to use it for publicity later, but No. 1 is a plaque unveiling ceremony after all, and we still hope to have something completely our own."

Chang Haonan frowned, thinking that we are a newly established group that has not even determined the logo, where can we get our own things?

But no matter what, as the top leader Zhu Linyu had spoken, he must still respect it, so he had to bury his head and continue to think hard.

"The history and honor of Aviation Industry Corporation of China have been handed over to Aviation Industry Corporation of China. We are actually a new enterprise. If we must find our own things, then there is no hope of making performance reports."

After a while, Chang Haonan raised his head again and slowly said:

"Then we can only draw pie in the sky."

Although this statement was not popular around the millennium, the meaning was still easy to understand.

"Do you mean to read the contents of the plan?"

After Chang Haonan reported the basic plan for the future to his superiors, several secretaries in the office had expanded and completed the preparation of the group's development plan.

"Uh..."

Chang Haonan quickly denied:

"The planning document is too long, even the summary is several thousand words, and the content is too specialized and detailed. Most of the people who attended our unveiling ceremony are not from the front-line technical background. Reading it to them is meaningless and annoying."

"What I mean is, why not announce a few priority development models at the ceremony? First, there have been many ups and downs in the reform of state-owned enterprises in recent years. Our new group is just established, and employees are inevitably panicked. We need to give them some confidence. Second, it is also a statement to the leaders to prove our determination to operate independently."

"Priority development model..."

Lin Zuoming, as an old hand in the aerospace system, naturally understood Chang Haonan's meaning immediately, but his face showed a bit of struggle:

"Mr. Chang, it's not that I don't believe in your ability, but now there is less than a week left until July 1st. If we want to list the models, we should at least establish the project first, right? This time is definitely not enough..."

"I'm not talking about the specific models..."

Chang Haonan shook his head, but it was very time-consuming to explain, so he just said directly:

"How about this, I will write a plan after I go back and submit it to the group's leadership team for a joint decision, how about it?"

Lin Zuoming's eyes flashed with hesitation for a moment, but then he thought about Chang Haonan's performance over the years, and some rumors that he had no way to verify but were highly credible, such as the other party had some direct access to the heavens, etc., and finally nodded:

"Okay, but at least leave a buffer of about two days for the preparatory committee, so in terms of time..."

"Don't worry, these things are all planned in my mind, just write them out."

Chang Haonan replied with a smile.

...

The scorching July is coming in a flash.

One day, the unveiling ceremony and founding meeting of the Aviation Power Group were held as scheduled.

At nine o'clock in the morning, more than 500 people, including superiors, guests from brother companies, representatives from the group headquarters and various factories, gathered in the headquarters compound.

At the top of the steps at the entrance of the building, a rostrum with a red carpet has been set up.

As the passionate march slowly began, the host of the ceremony, Kong Fenye, who is also the head of the publicity department of the Aviation Power Group, slowly stepped onto the stage.

"Dear leaders, guests, comrades, welcome to the founding ceremony and unveiling ceremony of China Aviation Power Group..."

After a welcome speech, Kong Fenye first began to read out the members of the group's leadership team approved by the superiors.

"Comrade Zhu Linyu, General Manager and Party Secretary of China Aviation Power Group!"

"Comrade Lin Zuoming, Director, Deputy General Manager, and Deputy Party Secretary of China Aviation Power Group!"

"Director and Deputy General Manager of China Aviation Power Group..."

"Chief Accountant, Deputy General Manager..."

"..."

There are a total of 7 team members who were finally determined. Every time Kong Fenye reads out a name, a corresponding person stands up.

"Chief Planner, Comrade Chang Haonan!"

Finally, Kong Fenye read out Chang Haonan's name.

Since he had no other leadership positions except the chief planner and was the youngest, he naturally ranked last.

Chang Haonan took a deep breath, stood up and bowed slightly to the comrades in the audience.

The leaders in front naturally knew the relevant decisions of their superiors, but even so, when they saw Chang Haonan standing up, many of them showed incredible expressions.

After all, knowing is knowing, but it is still incomparable to the impact of seeing it directly.

As for the employees below, especially the grassroots employees, let alone.

"Oh my... Is that Mr. Chang?"

There are many front-line employees who have worked directly with Chang Haonan on projects.

"Mr. Chang who is in charge of the WS-10 project?"

"Who else could it be... Now he has really become Mr. Chang..."

"But I remember... Mr. Chang seems to be less than 30 years old? He... has already joined the leadership team?"

"He is less than 30 years old and has become the chief designer..."

The whispering below was not loud, so the host on the stage continued as usual.

"Next, please let Comrade Zhu Linyu, General Manager and Party Secretary of China Aviation Power Group, speak!"

Zhu Linyu is already 70 years old, but he is still energetic. He came to the stage in two or three steps:

"Comrades, I am honored to be the first general manager of China Aviation Power Group and leave my name in the history of China Aviation Engine Development... First of all, please allow me to briefly review the development process of my country's aviation power from scratch..."

"..."

"The establishment of the Aviation Engine Group marks the arrival of a new era in China's aviation industry. Here, I would like to propose three suggestions to all comrades. First, we must unify our thoughts, act quickly, and grasp the new direction of the reform and development of aviation engines. Second, we must work hard and take the initiative..."

Zhu Linyu's speech mainly tells stories and expresses his views.

In summary, our aviation engine project used to be only a dowry maid for the aircraft project, but this model no longer meets the requirements of the times. Now we finally have the opportunity to turn over and take charge. We must do something to show them.

There is not much dry goods.

If it weren't for the open air, I'm afraid many people would have already dozed off.

After a long speech, Zhu Linyu deliberately paused for a second.

One second may not seem long, but in a coherent speech, a sudden one-second silence is actually as effective as a thunderclap in a quiet occasion.

Sure enough, the attention of the audience was immediately re-attracted.

"Next, I'm going to hand the microphone to our chief planner and chief designer of the Taihang engine project, Comrade Chang Haonan, who will announce several important decisions of the group!"

Amid the applause, Chang Haonan stood up, left his seat, and walked behind the temporary podium.

Compared with Zhu Linyu, his opening remarks were very brief.

After thanking the leaders and the group in a few words, he went straight to the point:

"When the WS-10 project was re-established, I once said that this model would not only be the power source for two third-generation fighter jets in my country, but more importantly, it would serve as a training ground for my country's aviation engine industry, greatly improving the problem of insufficient number and experience of aviation engine researchers."

"Now, more than two years have passed, and I can confidently say that the large-scale training has fully achieved the expected results!"

He paused for a moment.

The hundreds of people below also understood and applauded together.

After nearly ten seconds, Chang Haonan raised his hands, pressed them down to signal silence, and then continued:

"Therefore, after the leadership team's collective research and decision, three key development models will be established after the establishment of the group."

Chang Haonan's tone suddenly slowed down:

"First, it is a third-generation marine gas turbine using the WS-10 core engine, which is planned to provide power for a new generation of domestic large and medium-sized main battleships."

"Second, it is a 1600kw turboshaft engine, which is planned to replace the currently imported TV3-117 turboshaft engine as the power of a new generation of general-purpose and future armed helicopters."

"Third, it is a high-bypass turbofan engine that also uses the WS-10 core engine, which is planned to be used in the future new generation of domestic trunk airliners!"
