The Aeronautical Materials Research Institute under the name of China Commercial Aircraft Corporation. Company President Peng Zhengge and Director of the Aeronautical Materials Research Institute Gao Wei welcomed the technical representative team of Hongxin Group. Together with them, there were also representatives from Honeywell International Corporation of the United States. Representative Anderson Fogus.
"Welcome to our Aeronautical Materials Research Institute, and I hope we can have a happy cooperation." Gao Wei shook hands with representatives from the Hongxin side.
Lu Zixin introduced them: "These are our Hongxin Group, the two leaders of the new materials research team, Zhang Ming and Zhong Bing."
The Iron One and Iron Two robots greet each other. They each have their own "personality" templates. Zhang Ming is more enthusiastic and talkative, while Zhong Bing tends to be taciturn.
"Mr. Lu, let me introduce you. This Mr. Fogg is a representative of Honeywell International. Honeywell International is our main supplier of aviation materials." Peng Zhengge introduced Anderson Fogg Sri Lanka.
"Hello." Lu Zixin shook hands with the other party, and Anderson looked at him with vigilance and curiosity in his eyes.
Everyone in the technology and business circles was very curious about the founder of Hongxin Group. Even though he had learned about Lu Zixin before, when he actually met Lu Zixin, Anderson still felt an inexplicable aura. Maybe It was the other party's reputation that made him feel a bit pressured.
In the Aeronautical Materials Research Institute, Hongxin's team and the team led by Gao Wei began to communicate and discuss ways to cooperate.
Lu Zixin, on the other hand, talked with Peng Zhengge and Anderson Fogus to discuss cooperation between the three companies.
"Before coming, I have asked people in the company to prepare a list. It lists the materials, parts, airborne equipment and aviation system support that Hongxin Group can provide." Lu Zixin said, "Mr. Peng can provide Our list for more detailed arrangements or modifications.”
Anderson was curious about the contents of the list, but he knew that Lu Zixin actually told him on purpose, to put pressure on him and make Honeywell International make greater concessions in terms of material prices.
"Okay, I'll take a look later." Peng Zhengge nodded.
"Mr. Lu," Anderson said, "I heard that in the future, the manufacturing and synthesis of aviation carbon fiber composite materials will be provided by Hongxin Group? As far as I know, your company has not announced the results of this technology, nor has it obtained international aviation approval. Identification of standards.”
Lu Zixin smiled at him and said, "That's right. Not only carbon fiber composite materials, but also dozens of new materials such as new aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, titanium-aluminum alloys, glass fiber materials, high-strength steel, etc."
"As for certification, our team is applying for relevant certification from the Aviation Administration. I believe it won't be long before we can get the qualification certificate."
Lu Zixin said that Anderson was in a state of confusion. The various materials he just mentioned almost cover the main materials in the aviation field. These material manufacturing technologies are only mastered by the United States, the United Kingdom and Russia, and China is still a novice in this field.
If, as Lu Zixin said, Hongxin Group has mastered relevant technologies, they will no longer have a technological advantage in the field of aviation materials. Not to mention that the orders of China Commercial Aircraft Company will be reduced, the orders of other Chinese companies will be significantly reduced.
If you think about it with your toes, between the two options of importing aerospace materials from Honeywell in the United States and purchasing aerospace materials from local Chinese companies, China's demand side will of course choose local products that are more convenient and cheaper without additional tariffs!
After all, Anderson was a veteran in the workplace and quickly calmed down from his panic.
"No, this Lu Yan must be deceiving me. It's a common trick used by Chinese people! Just like their Peking Opera, one person sings the red face, and the other person sings the bad face. If I panic, I will fall into their trap!" Anderson thought to himself.
"It would be fine if Hongxin Group only provided one kind of material. Maybe it might have been developed. But Lu Yan said so much in one breath, how is it possible? We at Honeywell International have also been using it for decades. It took time and step by step improvement. He said all this just to scare me! In fact, it has not been developed at all.”
Thinking of this, Anderson felt much more relaxed. Could this little trick scare him
He also showed a hypocritical smile that was standard in the workplace and said to Lu Zixin: "Mr. Lu, we at Honeywell International will definitely help you develop and research new materials."
"For example, the carbon fiber composite material this time was successfully developed by Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Company with the help of our company."
“We will also provide a variety of new materials before research and development is completed.”
Peng Zhengge expressed his gratitude on the surface, but secretly complained in his heart. Indeed, their Aerospace Materials Research Institute can now manufacture carbon fiber composite materials, but it cannot perform large-scale forming and covering.
To use a simple metaphor, they have mastered the technology of making bricks, but not the craft of building houses. We still have to rely on Honeywell International for large-area synthesis and fuselage coverage of carbon fiber composite materials.
"No need to bother." Lu Zixin said, "This time we not only brought people, we also brought some equipment. Once the layout is ready, we can start large-scale experiments on carbon fiber composite materials."
After Lu Zixin finished speaking, Peng Zhengge stood up suddenly and asked, "What! Can we start manufacturing now?"
Anderson Vogels is also incredible, isn't he the only one who cooperates? How did it become a technology that has been mastered
He tried to calm himself down and said: "Is it true? I am very curious about it. Can I be lucky enough to visit it?"
"Of course, as long as Mr. Peng doesn't say the right thing," Lu Zixin said.
"No objection, of course not." Peng Zhengge said immediately. He was still surprised. If what Lu Zixin said was true, it would not only overcome a material technology problem, but also save the company tens of millions of dollars in research and development and purchase. Material costs!
…
In the laboratory, Gao Wei and others were shocked when they learned that Hongxin Group had mastered the new carbon fiber composite manufacturing technology.
But they are different from these senior executives. They are more concerned about the technical aspect. After the two robots Zhang Ming and Zhong Bing explained some principles and manufacturing plans, Gao Wei was already eighty-nine percent convinced! Because some of the details they mentioned are problems that Gao Wei’s team has not solved yet! If they can tell you the plan, it means that they have solved it in all likelihood.
"There are areas for improvement in your carbon fiber composite materials. By modifying the production process and raw material processing in our way, the new carbon fiber composite materials produced will have improved strength, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and other properties." Get promoted." Zhang Ming introduced through a virtual projection demonstration, while senior researchers from the Institute of Aeronautical Materials took notes and records like students.
