After reading the emails related to Golden Shield Technology Company, Zhao Yi continued to read down, and a tragic event came into his eyes, that is, the South African Airways Flight 295 accident.
Although the cause of this aviation accident has not yet been clarified, and the black clip of the aircraft has not even been salvaged yet, the death of 159 people has brought a haze to the aviation field.
In recent years, due to the strong rise of Star Express Company, the current international aviation manufacturing field is composed of three strong parties, and each has its own basic market, making it difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.
Although the history of Star Express Company is somewhat lacking compared to the other two companies, in terms of technical strength and growth rate, it is unmatched by the other two companies.
The current international aviation market has been almost divided between three companies. If you want to further change the market share ratio, it is not just a matter of competing in aviation manufacturing technology. Off-site factors may account for the majority.
However, the air crash that occurred in November brought a slightly different change to the currently relatively stable international aviation manufacturing market. At least for Star Express, it was a positive signal.
Originally, Star Express's passenger aircraft technology was in a leading position, and the international aviation market share that could be snatched by them was basically occupied by it. The rest could not be controlled by conventional business practices.
Therefore, since the rapid development in the past two years, Star Express's passenger aircraft business has entered a relatively stable period, and it has not thought about making greater achievements.
This air crash was caused by a fire on the plane. The cause of the fire is currently unknown. As for whether it will be known in the future, Zhao Yi himself does not know. After all, who would pay attention to such a thing.
However, in addition to the parties involved in the accident, the injured in this incident were also Boeing, because the flight was a Boeing 747-244BM. Although there was not necessarily a problem with the aircraft itself, the problems caused by the aircraft fire caused a high degree of of attention.
Star Express's aircraft fire safety design and related technologies have attracted the attention of international airlines, causing them to re-examine the issue of passenger aircraft fire safety.
Star Express mainly uses two technologies for aircraft fire safety. The first is the fuselage fireproof material. When it was originally designed, it not only considered whether it was suitable for the aircraft fuselage, but also considered many safety issues.
After all, this kind of highly flame-retardant material is not easy to burn the fuselage, causing flight instability after the fuselage structure is deformed, and a lot of safety design and thinking in this regard has been done on the internal circuits.
The second item is that many meaningful designs have been made in terms of aircraft fire safety, especially subsequent improved models, and even intelligent fire protection systems have been added to automatically extinguish flames on the aircraft in a timely manner.
It's just that the safety measures of Star Express Company did not receive enough attention from the air transportation field before. As a result, Star Airlines only mentioned relevant safety measures in the aircraft description and did not promote them as a selling point.
Therefore, to the outside world, the selling points of Star Air's passenger aircraft are comfort and fuel efficiency. They also relied on these two advantages to help it open up the international aviation market and become one of the top three.
After all, if airlines want to gain a competitive advantage, cost control is an unavoidable topic. Star Express relies on its excellent engine technology and overall design to become the most fuel-efficient aircraft model in the world.
Unexpectedly, this aviation accident caused the global aviation industry to begin to pay attention to aviation safety-related issues that had been ignored before. This made Star Express, which was already in a strong position, attract more attention from international air transport companies.
The reason why we did not pay special attention to issues in the field of passenger aircraft fire safety before was mainly because the probability of such safety problems can be effectively avoided through the construction of human and related systems.
For example, when we take a passenger plane, we are not allowed to carry flammable and explosive items, such as the most common lighters. However, accidents may still happen on passenger planes that transport mixed passengers and cargo.
Just because the probability of safety problems in this area was too low before, there is no need to deliberately increase additional costs and increase the operational burden of airlines in this area.
If there are no additional options, it is estimated that this matter will be settled and no one will continue to pay attention to the issue of fire safety protection of passenger aircraft. After all, it is a small probability event.
However, Star Express has given international airlines another option, which can further reduce the probability of such accidents and further improve safety without increasing procurement costs.
In fact, the airline did not immediately purchase aircraft from Star Express Company. Not only was it a small probability event, but they also had no plans to purchase additional new aircraft in the near future.
The aviation field, which was supposed to be calm after a while, started to become aware of aviation fire safety protection. Passengers flying on airliners had to pay attention to the model of the aircraft.
At first, they just avoided getting on the same type of aircraft as the plane that crashed, which led to a sharp decline in the number of passengers on flights of this type of aircraft, causing some airlines to suffer losses.
Originally, airline companies thought that this was all, and that they would just suspend this type of passenger aircraft for a period of time if they were unable to fly. After they were out of the limelight, they could resume normal scheduling.
As a result, I don’t know who took the lead. Suddenly, an analysis of the probability of accidents of various passenger aircraft models appeared on the Internet, and relevant statistics were compiled. As a result, Star Express Company naturally came out on top.
Of course, the statistics here do not include passenger planes shot down with weapons, otherwise it would be unfair, because any passenger plane encounters an aviation weapon attack and has a very low chance of survival.
Star Express Company is able to take the lead, most likely because they have entered the aviation manufacturing field for a shorter period of time, and their aircraft are also younger and safer.
Therefore, after such statistical analysis data came out, it was not taken seriously by others, because the basic statistical data was unfair, and the statistical results were naturally not convincing enough.
After such a statistical chart came out, it naturally aroused refutation from other netizens, and even led the person who made the chart to say that there was indeed a lack of consideration and that there were certain problems with the statistical results.
But I don’t know which netizen with great skills gave the statisticians an assist and actually posted the safety protection measures related issues in the manual of the Star Express passenger plane.
The main purpose of saying this is to say that Star Express has done more work than other aviation manufacturing companies for safety, not just because the passenger planes are newer and the aviation operation time is shorter.
This fact-based argument has naturally been recognized by other netizens. After all, facts speak louder than words. In terms of aviation safety, Star Express has indeed done more work than other companies.
And it is not just about aviation fire safety protection, but also certain efforts have been made in other aspects, such as safety measures for passenger plane crashes, safety measures for improper operation of aircraft driving, etc.
In these areas that people have ignored in the past, Star Express has done a lot of work, and the safety is indeed much higher than that of passenger aircraft manufactured by other aviation manufacturing companies.
Regardless of other things, it at least shows that the Star Express Company is willing to spend higher costs on safety protection and is willing to provide more protection for the safety of passengers, and will not ignore its efforts in this area because of the low probability.
From these actions of Star Express, the biggest feeling among netizens is that Star Express cares very much about the safety of passengers, rather than choosing to ignore the possibility of these situations because of the low probability like other aviation manufacturing companies.
Some netizens even said: “I used to think that Star Express’ passenger planes were more expensive because they were more fuel-efficient. Even if they were more expensive, they would still be more competitive in the aviation market.
Judging from these safety measures, it turns out that they have borne higher manufacturing costs in terms of safety protection measures. From this, it can be seen that Star Express Company is a responsible aviation manufacturing company. "
You must know that we are already in the Internet era, and things that happen on the Internet can easily go out of the circle. Especially with the emergence of social platforms, a piece of originally inconspicuous news will spread at a speed that people cannot imagine.
Airlines that originally didn't care much about it gradually discovered that the number of passengers on their other two aviation manufacturing companies' passenger planes was gradually decreasing. On the contrary, the occupancy rate of passenger planes produced by Star Express Company was gradually increasing. .
As time goes by, this trend has become more and more obvious, even leading to a shortage of seats on passenger planes produced by Star Express and an increase in ticket prices.
In fact, for airlines, they do not need to care which company's passenger planes are, especially airlines that already have a large number of aircraft manufactured by two other companies. They cannot ground these planes because of this. They will also bear such losses. Sorry.
But now there is a problem of user selection preference. If it cannot provide enough seats on Star Express's passenger planes, other airlines will take away the passengers.
Therefore, the airlines that benefit first are the airlines they fly with, because all their passenger planes are produced by Star Express, and none of them are produced by the other two companies. Naturally, they have enough seats to satisfy users' choices.
Moreover, after Feida Airlines merged with Chenghui Aircraft Leasing Company, it also had its own aircraft leasing business. Seeing that their normal business was temporarily affected, other airlines could only lease Star Express aircraft from Feida Airlines for a short period of time.
Both aspects have benefited the airlines a lot. Not only have their turnover increased significantly, but they have also further increased their international aviation market share.
Secondly, Star Express Company is also a beneficiary, not because of how many aircraft they sold, but because their passenger aircraft entered markets that were previously difficult to enter, expanding their market sales territory.
Due to the operating cost advantages of their passenger aircraft, as long as their aircraft enter a market that was previously difficult to enter, it will disrupt the original market and force other airlines to keep up.
Star Express used this trick before to help them open up the international aviation market. Now this trick is still effective. As for the safety issue, it just arises due to the situation, but it can also be used as one of the selling points at this stage.
After Zhao Yi saw this email, he was not happy because of how many benefits it could bring to him, but because he realized that the Internet had an increasing influence on the world and felt a sense of past life.
my country's Internet application has been developing for several years, while the development of the Internet abroad is relatively lagging behind. As a result, the current Internet is still focused on building basic applications, such as news platforms, search engines, social platforms, etc.
These are not only the largest categories of Internet applications, but also the basic applications of the Internet. His companies have entered these early and strive to seize market share.
As for the development of e-commerce, currently only Shangtong Trading Company is engaged in it, and no Internet company from other countries has yet entered to compete with Shangtong Trading Company for the market.
The reason is simple. It is much more difficult to enter the e-commerce market and seize the market. First of all, because the current big data processing technology is not very mature, it is very difficult to achieve results in a short time.
Shangtong Trading Company has previously accumulated a strong technical foundation in this area, and coupled with the strong strength of its brother Internet companies and software companies, it is not too difficult to build an e-commerce website.
Secondly, the starting capital for building an e-commerce website is very huge, because it is not only an online display platform, but also needs to build a large number of offline facilities to ensure the smooth progress of transactions.
It was also possible to build a C2C online trading platform, so that Internet companies would not need to make large investments offline, which would reduce the difficulty of starting a business for Internet companies.
But even so, building such a platform cannot be completed in a short time. They must promote their website to physical enterprises, and it also requires a lot of advertising costs.
If these preparations are to be done well, they cannot be completed in a short period of time, so it is not ruled out that some companies are already conducting secret research and development in this area, but it has not been launched yet.
However, in the B2C and B2B fields, currently no company can compete with Shangtong Trading Company, because Shangtong Trading Company not only occupies a time lead, but also far surpasses them in terms of investment scale, service maturity and technical strength. other companies.
As long as other companies think about the warehousing bases built by Shangtong Trading Company around the world, the scale of investment will make their soles numb and they will not be able to compete at all.
Moreover, Shangtong Trading Company is also supported by a technologically advanced intelligent logistics system, which can deliver goods to consumers as quickly as possible. Currently, no company can confidently do as well as Shangtong Trading Company.
Shangtong Trading Company is also mainly expanding its B2C business this year. Taking advantage of the popularity of smartphones, their business expansion in this area is very fast, and other companies have no intention of competing.
As for their C2C, they plan to choose a suitable time to launch it after the Spring Festival. Currently, most of the company's resources are occupied by B2C business. Only after the Spring Festival will they have the energy to take into account the development of C2C business.
Zhao Yi continued to scroll down and saw an email sent by Xinhui Energy Company, which mentioned that the nuclear power plant project they built in cooperation with China National Nuclear Corporation has been officially completed and is currently in the trial power generation stage.
This nuclear power plant project was prepared since 1985 and entered the construction phase in early 1986. It took nearly two years to complete, which is relatively fast.
The main reason why it can be completed in such a short period of time is that the entire set of technologies is owned by Xinhui Energy Company, and the previous technical research in this area is very mature, and it only needs to be constructed step by step.
The power generation capacity of this nuclear power plant is quite large, with an installed capacity of 10 million watts. It is currently the largest nuclear power plant construction project in the world and the most advanced nuclear power plant project in the world.
With such advanced nuclear power plant technology, Xinhui Energy Company had high hopes at the beginning, hoping to build many such nuclear power plants in the country to replace the thermal power plants they were desperately building at the time.
What I didn't expect was that Cornerstone Materials Company was the first to make a breakthrough in the field of photovoltaic power generation, and it also attracted Zhao Yi's great attention and further participated in the research and development of photovoltaic power generation technology.
This has led to the fact that New Huineng Energy Company has not yet made a big splash in the field of nuclear power and is facing elimination. Compared with nuclear power, photovoltaic power generation technology has advantages in terms of safety, cleanliness and cost.
Under such circumstances, there is absolutely no need to build nuclear power plant projects in the country. In the future, photovoltaic power generation will be enough to supply domestic energy consumption needs, and they have stepped up construction in the field of photovoltaic power generation since this year.
Since various preparations take time this year, there is not much time to actually build the photovoltaic power plant. Therefore, only one-tenth of the original target has been built this year, and the rest will have to be completed next year.
However, although our country has fully shifted to the field of photovoltaic power generation, nuclear power generation technology and thermal power generation technology still have great application prospects on a global scale.
Previously, Xinhui Energy Company's domestic business was developing very fast, and its construction plans were very huge. It did not have much time to consider the international market. It only exported electrical equipment and silicon photovoltaic panels.
Therefore, they have not spent much thought on international business at all, but after the completion of this photovoltaic power generation construction plan, their business will be in a stable state.
Therefore, they plan to focus on developing international business in their subsequent development. First, they will speed up the export of their high-standard power transmission equipment. Their strength in this regard is beyond doubt.
The second is to promote their thermal power generation technology to the international market. With their strength in the field of thermal power generation technology, they can still occupy a certain market.
The third is to promote their nuclear power plant technology. However, Xinhui Energy does not plan to do this on its own. Instead, it will license the relevant technology to CNNC and let them develop the international nuclear power market.
To be honest, it would be a pity if Xinhui Energy Company's advanced thermal power generation technology and nuclear power technology were buried in its own hands. It can only use these technologies to develop international markets. (End of chapter)
