Chapter 30: Flying Club
Songhu Hongqiao Aviation Factory,
“Mr. Zhou!”
“These two aircraft engines, are they really the new-style engines from those foreigners that you mentioned?”
When the new Factory Director Fan Zhifei saw Zhou Wenhua personally bringing people to deliver two new-style aircraft engines into his aircraft factory,
he immediately had an incredulous expression on his face, and somewhat stammering, inquired of Zhou Wenhua.
“Yes! I bought them back from the foreigners with great difficulty. You must keep this matter confidential!”
“Especially the foreigners and Japanese people, they absolutely cannot know the source of my engines!”
“Otherwise, it will cut off my channel for purchasing engines!”
Regarding the new Factory Director Fan Zhifei’s extremely surprised expression,
Zhou Wenhua was completely indifferent and calmly responded,
“Mr. Zhou! Impressive!”
“You are really too impressive!”
“You actually managed to get two new-style aircraft engines back. I am truly in awe!”
“You know, I have already used up all of my own connections!”
“I even borrowed connections from the Aviation Administration, but those foreigners refused no matter what to sell us the new-style engines and locked down the key technology!”
After the new Factory Director Fan Zhifei heard the reminder from Zhou Wenhua, who had a full face of confidence and calm expression,
he couldn’t help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed in admiration.
“Alright! I’ll leave these two engines to your airport. You can design and manufacture based on the aircraft design drawings I gave you. Once done, donate them to the Aviation Administration side, hand them over to the Air Force troops for killing Japanese soldiers in the future!”
“I still need to go establish my flying club. The location is already found. Remember to give me those unwanted trainer aircraft from your factory at that time, so these rookie new recruits can conduct flight training!”
“I’ll take my leave first!”
Regarding the new Factory Director Fan Zhifei’s endless praise, Zhou Wenhua was indifferent and changed the topic.
“Alright! Leave it to us with confidence!”
“Guaranteed to complete the task!”
The new Factory Director Fan Zhifei readily agreed.
And Zhou Wenhua also nodded, chatted a few more sentences with him, shook hands, and then parted ways.
Subsequently,
Zhou Wenhua took a car to the city center of Shanghai,
In the bustling commercial street of the city center with people coming and going and heavy traffic, there was a newly opened club named “Flying Eagle Flying Club”. This was Zhou Wenhua instructing Butler Liu Xing to send people to renovate one of the shops his father had purchased, turning it into a club.
Zhou Wenhua chose this place as the club in hopes of discovering good pilot talent here for use in the future war of resistance,
Of course, after they complete basic training,
they will be transferred to the rear area for flight training.
The club will not be fixed in Shanghai,
Because in five years, Shanghai will face the Second Battle of Shanghai,
And next year it will face the First Battle of Shanghai,
Moreover, fixed learning and training here would easily be discovered by people.
After Zhou Wenhua entered this new club,
Butler Liu Xing also arrived here by car just now,
“Fourth Young Master! How do you feel about this club I prepared for you?”
“Not bad!”
After Butler Liu Xing entered the club,
he hurriedly inquired of Zhou Wenhua who had already entered inside.
“Mm! Not bad! But whether we can recruit qualified pilot new recruits is a problem!”
“Whatever, I’ll carefully select personnel at that time!”
Zhou Wenhua responded to Butler Liu Xing while looking around at the surrounding decoration environment.
“Young Master! You instructed me to close the original three old food factories and clean them up!”
“Now they can at any time become the dumpling factory, sauce factory, and toy factory as you said!”
“However, the toy factory needs equipment for producing toys and production lines!”
After Zhou Wenhua finished speaking,
Butler Liu Xing continued to report.
“Mm! I’ll find a way to purchase the equipment!”
“First get the dumpling factory and sauce factory up and running to make money!”
“Toy factory, I’ll arrange it later!”
“Continue as I instructed, go recruit masters who know how to make dumplings, workers, and also workers for the sauce factory, recruit them for me!”
“I want to open for business as soon as possible, but before opening, I need to train them in professional production technology first!”
“Must produce the best quality products to open up more sales channels! So selecting qualified excellent employees and ensuring product quality is the most important thing!”
Zhou Wenhua continued to instruct seriously.
“Yes! Young Master!”
Butler Liu Xing quickly agreed,
“Right! Has the new store manager of the automotive specialty store taken office?”
Zhou Wenhua continued to press for an answer.
“Taken office!”
Butler Liu Xing continued to agree.
“Mm! Have all the sales advertisements been promoted according to my plan?”
“Tomorrow at the press conference, have this new store manager memorize the materials I wrote and answer the reporters’ interview questions!”
Zhou Wenhua continued to instruct.
“Yes! I’ll make him obedient and follow instructions!”
Butler Liu Xing nodded in agreement.
“Good! Go handle it! For this pilot club, I’ll leave a few people here, that’s enough. I also need to go inspect the dumpling factory, sauce factory, and toy factory to see what renovations and redesigns are still needed!”
“I want to open these new factories as soon as possible to make money!”
Zhou Wenhua gave the final instruction.
Butler Liu Xing nodded lightly and immediately turned to act on orders.
And Zhou Wenhua left two bodyguards here, instructing them to wait for the arrival of the several managers he recruited for the flying club before leaving.
After handling these matters,
Zhou Wenhua also got into the car, and under the protection of the remaining two bodyguards, went to inspect his three new factories, preparing to open for production and sales of new products as soon as possible to make money, complete the system-assigned task, and obtain his first batch of weaponry and ammunition.
And that evening, news throughout Shanghai about the first batch of new-style domestic cars produced by Zhou Wenhua’s domestic car factory spread like wildfire, with frenzied promotional coverage on all major paid newspapers.
Instantly shocking all major automotive enterprises, especially the foreigners’ Shanghai automotive branch and the Japanese people’s Shanghai branch.
And the next day, all paid news newspapers in major cities nationwide had full front-page reports on the news of Zhou Wenhua’s domestic cars about to go on sale and the press conference,
Instantly shocking all the automotive companies nationwide and many people.
Thus, many people boiled over, discussed heatedly.
