Chapter 569 Appearance 1 New Jiangcheng Heavy Machine Tool Factory

Looking at the memo in his hand, Le Maire was sweating all over.

There is quite a feeling of secretly holding back the ultimate move after obtaining the martial arts secrets, thinking that as long as you wait for the great achievement, you can beat all the invincible opponents in the world. However, as soon as you come out of the mountain, you find that your martial arts are just generic and your skills are not as good as others.

But then I thought about it, and my mentality was a bit complicated.

After all, this shows that he is not the only one in the world.

Although the EU has signed an aviation cooperation agreement with China before, in this year, it is still a relatively shocking decision to cooperate with China in building aircraft.

Even if Le Maire has made a decision, after all, everything has not yet been settled, and a guilty conscience is inevitable.

In this case, knowing that another founding member of the European Union has made the same choice will definitely relax your mind a lot.

This is especially true when you think of the great achievements of the Italians in the two world wars (referring to taking sides).

Just like when you were in college, you skipped class to participate in other activities. After you went there with trepidation, you found that the top student in the class was also there...

"So, where have they...I mean the Italians come now?"

With the efficiency of data transmission in the paper media era, the amount of information a person can access every day is very limited.

For example, Le Maire has been coordinating the power of the Rafale fighter jets between the French Navy and Air Force and Dassault recently, that is, the performance calibration and development of the M88-2 engine. His attention is basically focused on the country, and he can't follow it for a while. It is also normal to get news from overseas colleagues.

"This... I don't know much about it. I just know that Finmeccanica Group sent a high-level delegation there before. What is known so far is that Agusta is planning to develop a 6-7 ton class... For a helicopter targeting the high-end market, the specific technical details should be commercial secrets and will not be disclosed too much for the time being."

While cutting the steak on the plate, Pierre recalled the information he had obtained during this period:

"There are also several well-known machine tool companies in the industry that have bypassed the Wassenaar Agreement and signed several large orders with China."

"However, many countries are doing this. For example, Spain's Boster and Danobate previously rented planes from our national airline when exporting equipment to China."

"As for Fiat, I haven't heard of any cooperation with China in the aviation business, but they developed the automobile business last year."

Speaking of this, Pierre seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped what he was doing:

"By the way, I heard some rumors that this year's F1 Ferrari team's F300 car that won the championship in the first three races was designed by the Jinling R&D Center they established just last year."

Flamel's hand holding the fork also paused in mid-air.

I even forgot to continue chewing.

"Is there such a thing?"

People's ideas are actually very difficult to change.

Just like now, although Le Maire has made the decision to engage in technical cooperation with the Chinese, this is still more of a matter-of-fact judgment.

In other words, when it comes to this specific matter, I recognize your strength, but in terms of daily life, I still lack a specific understanding of China's technical level, and I subconsciously think that China is still what it used to be.

This is true even for Le Maire, let alone ordinary people who are not very aware of specific technologies.

For most people, only brands that are visible and tangible can be considered real things.

This process of concept change often takes a long time or a series of landmark events with great influence to complete.

"There is such a statement, and Ferrari has not denied it, so it is most likely true."

After speaking, Pierre picked up the knife and fork again and began to cut the meat.

"Forget it, don't talk about this."

Flamel waved his hand and brought the topic back on track:

"The automobile and machine tool equipment matters have little to do with us. During this period, I will focus on asking about the details of the cooperation between AgustaWestland and China, which can be used as a reference."

"Since their model is 6-7 tons, it means that it does not directly compete with the NH90. This should not be difficult."

"When you go back, remember to make a list in order of importance of the current problems facing the NH90 project, and then see what can be solved during the cooperation process."

"As for the Germans, if you do a little bit of public relations, if you really don't know how to flatter them, you can kick them out, and you will have one less partner to share the money with..."

"..."

As a result, the overall direction of the NH90 project quietly changed in this humble restaurant cubicle.

……

This kind of model involves multinational cooperation and even military use. If you want to introduce new, non-ally collaborators, even if you have made up your mind, there is still a lot of necessary desk work to be done.

Therefore, when Chang Haonan received the cooperation intention from distant France from Lan Xinzhi, it was almost half a month later.

He is following the construction progress of the heavy-duty die forging press at Jiangcheng Heavy Machine Tool Factory.

It can be regarded as a revisit to the old place.

Compared with the last time I came here with a sneaky attitude, this time it was definitely a serious "inspection" attitude.

Jiang Zhong's old leadership team, including a considerable number of senior grassroots employees, were all removed from the organization in a vigorous investigation at the end of last year.

In order to achieve a seamless connection at the management level, Ordnance Industry Corporation directly transferred half of the leaders of its two second-level state-owned enterprises and took over this enterprise that has been listed as a key national defense unit.

Of course, ordinary workers in the factory will inevitably feel panic after this round of big moves.

But this is the part that is easier to solve——

After the company was transferred to the Ordnance Industry Corporation, the first official document issued by the group was to suspend the employee layoff and seniority buyout process that had already begun, and required all employees to return to work within three days for production assessment, and to re-define the staff based on the assessment results. .

After a round of combined punches, when Chang Haonan arrived here, the normal production of the entire factory had gradually returned to normal.

"Mr. Chang, this is the production workshop of our factory after reorganization. Most of the equipment that was previously intentionally damaged and recorded as scrap has resumed production."

Jiang Zhong's new factory director is called Liao Xinhua. He was born in 50. He had been working at the Tiema Group in the neighboring city of Chongqing and has a good understanding of the situation in central China.

At this time, he and Yan Yongnian were following Chang Haonan, introducing the situation in the factory:

"However, according to the results of the police interrogation and the analysis of the files in the factory, there is still equipment worth about 2800 million that has been resold. It may be difficult to recover it."

“It’s pretty good to be able to stop losses to this point.”

Chang Haonan waved his hand:

"In the next step, our factory's focus will still be on organizational construction, strict production, and the construction and development of the new factory area."

"As for recovering the equipment, Director Liao can do his best."

In this day and age, Jiang Zhong's previous situation is definitely not an isolated case. Many things are not unclear, but involve too many things to be investigated clearly.

After all, Chang Haonan is a technician, not a savior. All he can do is reduce losses within his ability.

Moreover, what he cares most about is not individual equipment, but the ability of Jiangzhong as a whole to reliably build and operate die forging presses.

From this perspective, it can be considered a complete victory now.

After hearing Chang Haonan's statement, Liao Xinhua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When a superior says to "try your best to do something", the implication is that it doesn't have to be done.

He had never been in contact with Chang Haonan himself before, but he felt that he was too young to be ridiculous, and he was worried that the other party was young and energetic, so he had to put pressure on this matter.

If that were the case, it would be difficult for a small factory manager like him to be caught in the middle of a fight between gods on both sides.

But now it seems that although this person is young, his behavior is not naive and he is considered a quite reliable leader.

"In addition, Factory Director Liao doesn't have to worry too much about subsequent business development issues."

Chang Haonan patted an iron bump in front of him at the product exit of the foundry workshop, and then said:

"After production is completely restored to stability, I will have someone conduct a product quality appraisal. If it passes the test, Jiang Zhong can be used as the first-tier supplier of Torch-CB Ferrari Group."

Now the joint venture has just started. In order to ship the goods in the shortest time, the production process is a simple cooperation model in which Italy is responsible for producing the machine tools themselves, and China is responsible for the servo equipment and related software.

However, according to the joint venture agreement, relatively independent supply chain systems will be built in the two countries in the future to adapt to the different market demands in Europe and Asia and reduce production costs.

This process cannot be completed by the small arsenal in Yanjiao alone. It still requires the participation of some suppliers.

No matter from which perspective, Jiang Zhong is a more suitable choice.

Faced with such good news, Liao Xinhua could hardly hold back the excitement on his face and quickly expressed his stance:

"Please rest assured, Mr. Chang. When I was at Tiema Group, what I was best at was improving the quality control level and ensuring that it passed the quality appraisal!"

"It would be nice to have this confidence."

While talking, Chang Haonan led a group of people out of the foundry workshop.

Several minibuses were already waiting outside.

"Let's go and have a look at the new factory area where the die forging press is planned to be installed."
