This Canton Fair lasts for twenty days, but the real big contracts are basically signed on the first day.
However, the bulk of the trade at this time was basically various industrial products or complete sets of industrial equipment.
Some black uncles are very fond of the five domestic small industries, especially for countries that have no domestic industry at all.
Compared with these industrial enterprises that export equipment, Factory 703 is only a small factory that exports finished materials.
But as a manufacturer that has been registered with the military and the Ministry of Industry.
Since they arrived at the Canton Fair, many eyes have been following them.
By the end of the first day, some people couldn't sit still and began to want to contact people from Factory 703.
Not surprisingly, the first person to arrive was someone from the military, and he was also an old acquaintance of everyone, Xu Yuanchao.
"Lao Hu has gained a lot from this Canton Fair, right? Isn't this a treat?" Xu Yuanchao said with a hearty smile.
Speaking of which, due to ownership structure issues, although Rocket Research Institute holds 78% of the shares, Zhang Xingyang does not hold any shares.
Although the military holds about 20% of the shares, the shares also belong to the General Armament Department.
Only the remaining two percent of the shares belong to all employees of Factory 703, which can be regarded as directly belonging to them personally.
In other words, if dividends were paid out now, the profit from the two hundred tons sold on the first day alone would be more than two hundred million.
The dividends distributed to all employees of Factory 703 were close to 4.8 million.
According to the dividend plan formulated at that time, the equity of factory employees was the same. Even if someone joined in the future, they would be diluted equally.
Based on the current number of people in the factory, each person can receive close to 10,000 yuan.
At this time, although this is not as eye-catching as those households with 10,000 yuan in previous years, it is still equivalent to the workers' income for nearly two years.
Hu Deming did not care too much, but greeted generously:
"No problem, I'm treating you today!"
Everyone present laughed. After all, it was not easy to make Hu Deming, who was usually like an old miser, shed some blood.
That’s when everyone was about to pack up their things, leave the booth and go out to find an authentic Cantonese restaurant for dinner.
A group of blond foreigners wearing crisp suits walked to the booth of Factory 703.
"Hello, is this the place that sells two-dimensional carbon fiber cloth for 1,800 yuan per kilogram?"
The other party seems to be coming with bad intentions, Zhang Xingyang thought silently in his heart.
However, as the person in charge of the site, Hu Deming still has strong professional capabilities. Although he felt the hostility in the other party's words, he still greeted him with a smile:
"Do you guys want to buy materials? The carbon fiber cloth from our 703 factory is very cost-effective."
The middle-aged man with beard, Coren, looked up and down at the man opposite him who looked like a traditional farmer.
After a while he said:
"I heard that you signed a big contract with Snecma Company, right?"
Speaking of this big contract, Hu Deming became even more happy and said:
“We just signed a supply contract with them this morning worth close to fifteen million dollars.
It can be seen that our materials are excellent in terms of performance and price. "
Koren did not directly tell his origin and purpose, but made another request:
"Do you have materials with better performance, such as composite materials?"
Zhang Xingyang, who was standing behind and pretending to be a youth worker, frowned at this time.
I don’t know if the other party is deliberately testing, or if he just happened to ask.
Although mass production of new carbon-carbon composite materials has begun, information about this material is still kept secret from foreigners.
As a veteran military worker who has been immersed in the military industry for many years, Hu Deming naturally understands the principles here.
With an uncomfortable expression on his face, he said:
"Sorry, our factory is currently only able to produce products of this level. As for some higher-performance products, we are not yet capable of producing them."
When faced with the opponent who was unwilling to disclose information, Colen did not get angry. Instead, he left a business card of his own and said:
"If you produce materials with stronger performance anytime, you can contact our company."
After Hu Deming watched the other party and his group leave, he picked up the business card in his hand and read it.
"Belfast Company?"
There was some confusion about the name of this company at the beginning of the year.
Hu Deming and several employees in Factory 703 did not know this company very well.
But Zhang Xingyang knows better.
This company was acquired by Bombardier Aircraft Company of Maple Leaf Country just seven or eight years ago, and is now part of Bombardier's aircraft parts supplier.
The other party should have heard about the carbon fiber materials of Factory 703 from Snecma Company, but the business jets they mainly produced needed carbon fiber with stronger performance, which led to the scene just now.
Zhang Xingyang explained the business scope of Belfast Company to everyone present.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
However, today's experience still gave Zhang Xingyang some inspiration.
Discussed with Hu Deming and Xu Yuanchao:
“Judging from today’s situation, high-performance composite materials are still relatively lacking in the market.
If we can develop a composite material that performs in line with market expectations and is affordable based on our current new carbon-carbon composite materials.
You should be able to make a lot of money. "
Xu Yuanchao understood what Zhang Xingyang meant. Recently, more orders have been placed in the aviation field. If we continue to invest in research and development in this area, the competitiveness of Factory 703 can be greatly enhanced.
But Xu Yuanchao still had some other concerns, so he asked:
"Dean Zhang, you are currently still responsible for the material development work of that project. Plus this, will you be able to handle it?"
Because many people present did not know the WS-10 project, which was a real joint cooperation between the military and the Rocket Academy, Xu Yuanchao did not directly say the name of the project.
“Representative Xu, you misunderstood. Although the Research Institute is now the controlling shareholder of Factory 703, the technical improvement work still needs to be completed by Factory 703 itself.
In the future, the Rocket Research Institute will not interfere in the daily work of Factory 703 unless major matters are encountered. "
Zhang Xingyang said seriously.
The scientific research strength of the Rocket Research Institute is very valuable and needs to be used to tackle more urgent tasks. It is impossible to wander around a materials factory all day long.
A material factory's monthly income of 20 to 30 million US dollars seems a lot.
But compared with the 60 to 70 million U.S. dollars for a rocket launch, it's not that worthy of attention.
Zhang Xingyang's wish has always been to explore the stars, and making money is just a side thing.
If you want to accelerate to the stars, the foundation of a high-thrust rocket and the engine are the most important things for Zhang Xingyang.
