Since the establishment of Fei Airlines, a large number of aircraft have been purchased, which has led to a large increase in domestic flight aircraft in our country. We are no longer as nervous about aircraft as before.
At the same time, almost all the aircraft of Chenghui Aircraft Leasing Company have arrived, and it has also provided aircraft leasing services to other domestic airlines, which has greatly improved the flight schedule rate of domestic civil aviation passengers. The previous situation where it was difficult to get a ticket no longer exists. .
It’s just that air tickets are still too expensive for ordinary people, but there is no room for price reductions in air tickets, so the number of ordinary people flying is still very small.
Nowadays, domestic airlines are generally not full on their planes, but they are still profitable.
If the civil aviation schedule is increased, losses are likely to occur. Therefore, after Star Express's aircraft are supplied to airlines and Chenghui Aircraft Leasing Company, it will be difficult to obtain domestic orders.
We have to wait until the number of domestic civil aviation passengers increases before there is a new round of outbreak and Star Express' domestic orders will improve.
Most of the aircraft leased by domestic airlines now replace old aircraft, because the old aircraft generally carry less passengers, and some have been in operation for many years, posing safety risks.
In the past, due to lack of economic and foreign exchange, there was no money to purchase new foreign passenger aircraft on a large scale. Now, not only can RMB be used directly, but also leasing can be used. This economical and affordable method makes domestic airlines willing to try it.
In order to solve the problem of excessive production capacity in the future, Star Express has begun to turn its attention to overseas airlines. The confidence of doing so is that the airlines it flies have been operating in China on a large scale around the clock for more than half a year, without a single case. Aviation accidents have proven the safety of this aircraft to some extent.
At the same time, the I100 aircraft has unique advantages in terms of economy and fuel efficiency. Although it has not yet obtained airworthiness certificates from Europe and the United States, it cannot be sold in European and American countries for the time being. However, airlines in Southeast Asian countries and countries in the Soviet socialist camp are not within this scope. Inside.
In the past, most of the products of Zhao Yi's companies were sold to countries in the European and American Western camps. Because his company's products were confident that they could open up the markets of these countries, they did not put too much energy into developing the Soviet Union's socialist camp. Since the national market is now encountering difficulties, we can only try this aspect.
The reason for focusing on Southeast Asian countries is that these countries do not have their own aircraft manufacturing companies, so there is no fundamental conflict of interest.
At the same time, their relations with European and American Western countries are not so close. Unlike South Korea and Japan, Southeast Asian countries have great autonomy and will not be easily influenced by European and American aircraft manufacturing companies.
At the same time, the economic strength of Southeast Asian countries is relatively low, and there is a huge potential purchase desire for this economical aircraft.
If this aircraft is equipped on a large scale, their airline operating costs will drop significantly, so Star Express will also set its sights on airlines in Southeast Asian countries.
Zhao Yi and the other three purchased first-class cabins. There were only four passenger seats in the entire first-class cabin, and each seat had a lot of personal space.
At the same time, their seats are not ordinary seats, but space seats tailor-made by Star Express Company. They not only have automatic massage functions, but also have a more refined adjustment structure. They can be directly adjusted into single beds. The mechanical structure is very complex.
There are many design patents and mechanical mechanism patents for this space seat. It can be said that it is a major feature of the Star Express Company's aircraft and is much more advanced than the so-called space seats of later generations.
It can be said that it is a unique seat in the world, and it cannot be copied by ordinary companies, because it is not only complex in design, but also very difficult to manufacture.
Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu had never flown in first class before, and now they finally did. They fell in love with this space seat as soon as they entered, because the appearance revealed a good sense of technology, making people feel like they have met the future.
As soon as they sat down, they felt that the surrounding sides of the chair closely conformed to their body curves. Whether they were sitting or lying down, they did not feel that any part of the chair would become tired after a long period of time.
In addition to Zhao Yi and the three of them, the other first-class passenger in the first-class cabin was a foreigner. It was quite rare to see foreigners in the mainland these days. Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu both glanced at it, not daring to Zhao Yi came forward to strike up a conversation, but Zhao Yi thought it was nothing unusual.
The first-class foreigner also felt strange when he saw three Chinese people sitting in the first-class cabin. However, he did not dare to approach and strike up a conversation, so he could only pay attention to their actions from time to time.
This space seat is Zhao Yi's masterpiece, so facing two curious babies, he suddenly burst out with a huge desire to show off.
Zhao Yi taught Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu how to use this space seat. In addition to the commonly used massage functions and adjusting the backrest and leg support, there are other functions such as automatic fitting operation, music playback mode, and the coolest space shaker mode.
It allows adults to fully experience the comfort and refreshing feeling of the baby rocking bed. If you close your eyes, you will unconsciously feel like you have returned to your childhood and your spirit will be very relaxed.
While Zhao Yi kept teaching them how to use the space chair, the foreign boy unconsciously followed Zhao Yi's instructions and started operating it himself. Every time the operation was successful, he would cheer and cheer. The sound of exclamation is incredible.
It wasn't until the plane announcement sounded, asking everyone to fasten their seat belts and the plane was ready to take off, that they paused this novel "exploration" trip.
The flight time was short, and the flight ended in about two hours. When they got off the plane, the three of them had not talked to the foreign guy.
Although Zhao Yi was more curious as to why this foreign guy flew to Nanchang, because except for the Nanchang Uprising, Nanchang was not well-known in other places, and few foreigners visited this place in this era.
After getting off the plane, Zhao Yi and the three of them did not go home immediately like before, but followed Zhao Yi to go to Tianwen University to have a look. After all, Zhao Yi had not been there for a long time. How was the school going this time? .
Although there are not many taxis in China, the airport is the place with the highest concentration of taxis. After leaving the airport, I took a taxi and headed to Tianwen University.
Because he didn't have a phone call with Principal Jiang Ping before coming, Zhao Yi made this decision temporarily on the plane. When he came to the school, the students were already on vacation. The huge campus seemed empty. People who walked occasionally were also residents. Teacher at nearby school.
It would be troublesome to take a taxi here, so Zhao Yi asked the driver to drive all the way to the downstairs of Principal Jiang's house. Then Zhao Yi gave the taxi driver an extra 100 yuan and asked him to wait downstairs for a while. After they visited After returning to Principal Jiang Ping, you still need to take a taxi back.
When Zhao Yi knocked on the door, the person who opened the door was a young man, who should be Principal Jiang's junior. After Zhao Yi explained his purpose, he entered the room. Principal Jiang was writing. When he looked up and saw that the visitor was Zhao Yi, he quickly put down the pen in his hand and smiled. Then he said: "You are a rare visitor, this is your first time here."
"I'm usually very busy and don't have time to take care of the school's affairs. I trust Principal Jiang's ability very much. He has managed the school in an orderly manner in the past few years." Zhao Yi also said with a smile.
After the two exchanged greetings, Zhao Yi introduced Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu to Principal Jiang. Scholars have a natural sense of closeness, and one of them, Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu, is from Huaqing University and the other is from Beijing Normal University, with both academic qualifications and backgrounds. Not low, and at the same time Zhao Yi's childhood friend, Principal Jiang called his son and asked him to talk to Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu for a while.
Zhao Yi and Principal Jiang came to the study room together. The two of them needed to communicate about the operations of Tianwen University. Since Zhao Yi had not paid attention to this area for a long time, Principal Jiang told him some important things one by one.
Zhao Yi had previously brought in several Nobel Prize winners and Fields Medal winners. Of course, these big guys were able to come because Zhao Yi gave them what they wanted. The only thing that could attract them was academic. .
So Zhao Yi promised that if they could come to Tianwen University, it would not only provide them with a cutting-edge experimental environment, but also collaborate on some academic topics.
The result is that after they came, the school did fulfill its promise of providing first-class experimental equipment within one year. However, the academic cooperation issues that Zhao Yi originally promised have not been completed. For this matter, he has approached Principal Jiang several times. , asked him to contact Zhao Yi, hoping to meet Zhao Yi.
Hearing this, Zhao Yi was indeed a little ashamed, and promised Principal Jiang that he would come here after the New Year to fulfill his promise. Foreigners do not have the custom of celebrating the New Year. Although they are on holiday now, if Zhao Yi comes over after the New Year, they should have time.
Except that this matter involves Zhao Yi, other matters have little to do with Zhao Yi. The reason why Principal Jiang also spoke out is because Zhao Yi is the sole investor of Tianwen University and the chairman of the school board of directors. After all, he has the power to He has the power to make the final say on school affairs, but he rarely uses it.
Another concern for Zhao Yi is the school's scientific research achievements. This is the prestige of a university. Without academic research achievements, it will be difficult to improve the school's prestige, and it will be difficult for the university to climb up the rankings.
Of course, Tianwen University will not do something embarrassing just for the so-called ranking. There is no need. What Zhao Yi wants is to rely on real strength to prove that Tianwen University is definitely one of the top universities in the world.
What is related to academic scientific research is the ability to transform academic scientific research. If the researched technology is shelved after just publishing a paper, then the significance of this paper will be greatly reduced, and it will have limited impact on social and economic development.
Fortunately, Tianwen University has done a good job in this regard, because the school is not short of money and has established three school-run enterprises, namely Tianwen Hi-Tech, Tianwen Industrial, and Tianwen Investment.
The main purpose of the first two enterprises is to provide industrialized R&D and production work based on the technology born in the school. The latter, as the name implies, is engaged in investment, mainly to help school teachers and students start their own businesses.
Tianwen Hi-Tech's business focuses on the industrial development of top technologies around the world, while Tianwen Industrial's technology requirements are not high and its main focus is on market prospects and economic benefits. In the future, it may be the school's pocketbook.
If the school does everything by itself, it will inevitably be unable to meet its expectations, so Tianwen Investment was born to allow teachers and students of schools who are willing to start their own businesses to start their own businesses, and they provide funding and other assistance.
