Chapter 2520： Challenge from abroad one (1/2)
Dornier has calculated that if he is going to build a large aircraft like the K8, then the cost of building the aircraft will be more than 800,000 marks, which is about 40,000 before the war, excluding R&D investment and blowholes. GBP! If you want to take the whole process aside, Counting the previous research and development and the construction and test flight of several test aircraft, if you want to build an aircraft like K8 by yourself, the cost will be at least 8 million marks! This R&D cost is difficult for private individuals to bear except for the state!
Moreover, the most important thing is that you may not be able to win the bid after you get it out! If you fail, then the loss will be great. Even if you have gone through all the hardships and finally got this aircraft out and won the bid, what then? According to the current production capacity of the three factories, none of them are capable of mass production. If it is a war period, a large amount of funds and resources from the state can naturally be supported, but in peacetime? Let's wash and sleep. This is impossible!
As a result, a problem now arises. It is very difficult for all private companies to obtain the opportunity to develop large aircraft, and it is naturally impossible to accumulate experience from this. But the market for large aircraft is indeed very attractive, because only after you develop it yourself and gain experience, can you make breakthroughs in large passenger aircraft, transport aircraft, and bombers. However, the third method of cooperation gives all private aircraft manufacturers the opportunity to participate in the design and manufacture of large aircraft!
”This is an opportunity for us, an opportunity for ourselves to develop and grow in peacetime. With this opportunity, perhaps one day, we can stand side by side with the Bavarian Aircraft Factory or the Prussian Aircraft Factory.” Hu Ge Junkers said.
”It looks like a good idea.” Fokker thought for a while and said.
”I think so too. From a technical point of view, I don't think there is a domestic aircraft manufacturing company that can surpass me, and the Bavarian aircraft manufacturing plant is the same.” Dornier said.
”Well, everyone, now the good news has been told to everyone. We know that we will have a relatively level playing field in the future and can obtain sufficient financial support. Mr. Henkel hinted to me that all three ways of cooperation can be It’s up to us to choose. But at the same time, for some of us, this kind of fair competition is also a problem, because it also lowers the threshold for others to enter. If other companies are willing to join the aviation industry, they The barrier to entry will be very low,” Junkers said.
”It doesn't matter, our efforts over the past ten years are enough for us to build a high enough barrier. Our efficient technical team, rich experience and perfect facilities are enough to give us the full advantage.” Fokker is at least superficially Easy.
”However, all of this is also suitable for foreigners, not only German companies, and companies that used to work for Germany, but also suitable for French companies such as Breguet, Farmand, Loire-Newport and Romano.” Juncker Said.
”God, what are you kidding? I now really believe that our Royal Highness is really a little pro-law. This is not just a political need.” Dornier said with some surprise.
”It seems that there is no free lunch in this world. The fierce competition is about to begin now.” Fokker said with some depression.
