If he wanted to make Monster Industries the world's number one, it was not enough to have strong technology.
Thinking back to two years ago, the scale of the company Ye Qing could come into contact with was only the small processing plant at home that was on the verge of bankruptcy. Now, step by step, Monster Industries had grown into a real industrial behemoth. At the same time, Ye Qing's vision and outlook were also rapidly improving.
Ye Qing understood that the world's number one did not only represent technology.
It must have the ability to change the human technological landscape and the influence to dominate people's living habits.
Looking at the history of decades of technological development, the personal computer terminal had done this.
The Internet and smartphones had also done this.
What did it mean to dominate people's living habits?
But without it, there would be a huge difference in people's lives, and chaos would ensue. Before computers and the Internet, people thought that being able to eat and drink enough was already a well-off life. When they were bored, they would get together with a few friends to find entertainment to play. But when computers and the Internet appeared, people's spiritual life was unprecedentedly expanded. The world's information, the world's books, and movie content could be easily browsed by just sitting at home with a click of the mouse.
All human culture and entertainment was all-encompassing.
If computers and the Internet suddenly left us, 99% of the people's lives would be in chaos, and all public resources would be in chaos.
This was called dominating people's living habits. Although Monster Industries was powerful, it was still a step away from this level.
Whether it was the popular Thunderbolt car or the popular magic crystal mobile phone, they were just icing on the cake of existing technological products. Only technologies like sound absorption steel, biological fiber materials, normal temperature superconductor metals, and exquisite aircraft could change the human technological landscape and dominate people's living habits.
Those technological blueprints could meet the first requirement, but at the same time meet the second requirement. Ye Qing believed that only exquisite aircraft could be used for the time being.
In the twenty-first century's sky, as long as you looked up, you could see an airplane not long after. It was normal for people living near busy airports to see hundreds of airplanes a day.
At first glance, the exquisite aircraft seemed to be just the icing on the cake of the passenger plane. Even in terms of voyage, the exquisite aircraft could not be compared to those intercontinental flights.
Even Monster Industries had three airplanes.
The development of passenger aircraft technology was already mature enough. According to statistics, there were currently 190,000 aircraft in the world, of which 30,000 were military aircraft that were not available for civilian use. The remaining 160,000 planes had everything from large intercontinental flights to small regional jets.
On average, there were 100,000 planes flying in the sky every day.
It seemed that the development of aviation was already good enough, and there was no need to supplement it.
However, Ye Qing, who was already standing at the top of Hua Xia Industries, knew better than anyone that the development of the aviation industry was not good enough. It was very, very bad.
This was especially true for Hua Xia Airlines. Not to mention other things, just the number of civil airports in the country, which added up to only about 150, could be seen.
Time was money. In his third year of university, Ye Qing started working as an after-sales technician for his family's factory. He drove a van around the nearby provinces. Nearly two-thirds of the time was wasted traveling back and forth. Especially when he ran to Insignia Province, compared to Jiangnan Province's seriously backward road network and long mountain roads, it often wasted Ye Qing's day.
At that time, Ye Qing thought more than once how good it would be if the county he went to could build an airport. It would take less than half an hour to get there by plane.
This was definitely cheaper than driving by himself, burning fuel and accommodation on the road.
Now Ye Qing understood why there were so few domestic airports.
It was not that we couldn't afford to build an airport. People believed this 20 years ago. Now, Hua Xia was recognized as the world's number one infrastructure capability. A small regional airport only required a few hundred million yuan of investment. Even the county-level finance could grit its teeth and build it.
It was that we couldn't afford airplanes, or we couldn't buy so many airplanes.
How much did the cheapest Boeing plane cost?
The cheapest 737 series was quoted at 76 million US dollars, equivalent to 500 million yuan. The most expensive 747-8 was quoted at 350 million yuan, equivalent to more than 2.3 billion yuan.
Buying a plane was just the beginning of burning money. Even a 100-seat economy plane like the 737 had to be constantly maintained and overhauled from the moment it was bought. From small changes of hydraulic fluid for a mechanical brake to big changes of engine blades, all of these had to be purchased according to Boeing's guidelines.
The aircraft trade had always been the follow-up maintenance that made the most money. If Hua Xia launched a large number of passenger planes, it would only put more of the transportation lifeline in the hands of foreigners. A steady stream of foreign exchange would have to be filled in this bottomless pit.
That was why Hua Xia was immersed in developing the highway network and vigorously promoting the high-speed rail network to make up for the serious shortage of airports and airplanes.
Before Hua Xia could build a passenger plane, it was impossible for the national airport to expand vigorously.
The emergence of the exquisite aircraft made Ye Qing see the possibility of another aviation explosion.
The exquisite aircraft was 100% domestic. Its requirements for the airport were so low that it made people's hair stand on end. This guy had the ability to take off and land vertically. In times of emergency, a vegetable field could be used as a temporary airport.
The difficulty of building an exquisite aircraft airport was the same as the technical difficulty of building a long-distance bus station.
If Monster Industries could crack the flying license of the exquisite aircraft, with the large-scale production of Monster Industries, within a year, the airport of the exquisite aircraft airport could be expanded to the county level.
In other words, the exquisite aircraft was originally prepared for small and medium-sized cities that did not have airports.
Of course, at present, Ye Qing only intended to invest energy in the field of public aircraft. The exquisite aircraft were divided into industrial and civilian versions. The industrial version was put into the airport for public transportation. The civilian version was only one size larger than a car. At present, it could only be promoted like helicopters to those high-income people who owned private helicopters.
The domestic civilian version was up to fate in the country and the foreign promotion was important.
This was not only limited by Hua Xia's strict private aircraft regulations, but also by the national conditions. Most of the developed countries in Europe and the United States were sparsely populated. Even if the domestic laws did not restrict it, just think about the sky above the big cities. If there were countless aircraft flying in the sky all day long, the citizens would be so scared that no one would dare to live in a high-rise building.
In fact, even in large foreign cities, the restrictions on private aircraft, especially helicopters, were the top priority.
The road had to be taken step by step. It was unrealistic to expect civil aircraft to be promoted all over the country at once. Only by first taking down the field of the most likely public passenger aircraft, so that there would be exquisite aircraft roaming over the country on every route.
Step by step, the expansion of Boeing and Airbus, the two aircraft manufacturing companies that had dominated the world for many years, could be cut off in Hua Xia. Step by step, they could rule people's living habits and pave the way for the explosion of the domestic version of the exquisite aircraft in the future.
Imagine if in the next year, every county in Huaxia had at least one exquisite aircraft airport built in each and every one of those counties.
If the citizens wanted to go far away, they would no longer have to take a bus for a few hours to go to the upper city. They would no longer have to change to a bus and travel through the city for a few hours to reach the airport or the high-speed rail station. They only needed to take a taxi and take more than ten minutes to the county-level airport. They could easily reach any place in the country in a few hours.
This place was also accurate to the county level.
It could even be accurate to the town level. Like a bus, it landed at the station, a few passengers got off, and a few people got on.

What was the name of the biggest leader in an airport?
Of course, the biggest official was not called the factory director. The airport belonged to the management model of an enterprise group. The biggest leader in an unlisted airport was the general manager, and the biggest leader in a listed airport was the chairman.
Zhongyun Airport was an unlisted airport. It was jointly led and managed by the General Administration of Civil Aviation of Hua Xia and the Zhongyun Municipal Government. Zhongyun City had always wanted to change Zhongyun Airport from a domestic standard to an international airport.
As Monster Industries continued to grow, more and more people chose to travel by plane with Zhongyun City. Zhongyun City's ambition also became stronger and stronger.
A 4E-grade airport had the standards of a first-class port regional hub airport. Its importance to the development of a city was self-evident.
Of course, Zhongyun City's ambition was there as long as it was a city with an airport, and each was stronger than the other.
Zhongyun City's leadership team mocked themselves. Zhongyun was too far away from the capital and too close to Shanghai.
It was only more than 200 kilometers away from Shanghai, but it was not in the circle of Shang Hai, Wu Cheng, and Wu Xi, the three rich brothers.
Did they deserve to own an international airport?
Did they also want to take on the international airport logistics business that made a lot of money every day to share a share of the international trade output of Tianjiang's Triangle State?
Hehe ~
Therefore, although Xia Ruiguo, the general manager of Zhongyun City Airport, had a strong ambition to turn Zhongyun Airport into an international airport, he had never worked hard in this direction.
He was forty-five years old this year. He was busy managing the airport. In his spare time, he imagined that the dark and cool private jet belonging to Monster Industries was parked in his airport. It was almost all for the day.
It was said that the Peregrine Falcon had the ability to fly at supersonic speed.
General Manager Xia Ruiguo's office was in the terminal building. Sitting in his office, he could just overlook the runway area and the airport parking area.
Monster Industries seemed to have a special liking for black. At nine o 'clock in the morning, when Xia Ruiguo was sitting in his office, he once again saw the two IL-76 transport planes belonging to Monster Industries land on the airport runway from the clouds with their huge bodies.
These two large transport planes were painted black. It was a matte black that did not reflect light. With the majestic metal monster logo on both sides of the vertical tail, Xia Ruiguo felt that no matter how many times he saw it, he would not get tired of it.
As for the legendary Peregrine Falcon, Xia Ruiguo had not seen it fly many times.
Sometimes, Xia Ruiguo wondered how rich the young president of Monster Industries was.
If it were him, he would be willing to sleep in the Peregrine Falcon every night. As a result, the president did not take the Peregrine Falcon seriously at all. On average, the Peregrine Falcon could not even fly once a month.
However, Xia Ruiguo was not familiar with the young president and could not figure out what he was thinking.
Xia Ruiguo worked while waiting for the two Monster Industries transport planes to slowly come to a stop. Then, they were led by a tractor into the row of hangars contracted by their company.
When the hangar door opened, Xia Ruiguo got another chance to admire the Peregrine Falcon.
Just as he was about to sigh with emotion, someone knocked on the door outside the office.
After shouting for him to come in, Xia Ruiguo looked up at his secretary and asked what was the matter.
"Manager, I just received a call from Monster Industries." The secretary, who had always been mature, was actually a little excited at this time. "The call was from the assistant of the president of Monster Industries. She made an appointment with me and said that Mr. Ye wants to visit you."
Xia Ruiguo was very surprised.
"Mr. Ye wants to see me?"
"Did he ask what's the matter?" Xia Ruiguo stood up. "No, no. Hurry up and reply to Mr. Ye's assistant. Tell her that I'm visiting in person. The time will be arranged according to Mr. Ye's schedule."
The secretary nodded repeatedly. Five minutes later, he returned and told Xia Ruiguo that Mr. Ye was free now.
