Chapter 30 Jump up and down (3)
Two days later, Ziano, the old man called back: He supported him with all his support. He had a dream and wanted to support him boldly. It was not unacceptable to lose money for several years. However, the plan must be more careful and we will discuss it carefully when we come back.
In fact, he had blind confidence in his son when he made this decision and did not analyze it in depth. The main reason was that he made a lot this time: more than 700,000 US dollars were recovered in the name of principal. In fact, this was exchanged for Mark's loan. Judging from the current situation of Mark's running wildly on the road of depreciation, this loan does not need to be paid or just a little symbolic return in a year. There is no question of whether the principal or principal is not. More than 700,000 yuan is net profit.
Another 7 million US dollars is distributed at a 10% ratio of more than 700,000 yuan. After the two were added together, their wealth suddenly soared by more than 1.5 million US dollars. Of course, Contini was even more terrifying. He got more than 5 million and became an Italian rich man. He was only 19 years old and had not graduated from university.
The "magnificent blueprint" of his son planning to lose $5 million in five years is no big deal in the view of Old Ziano. It is amazing to give up some profits. If it is done, he, the Minister of Transportation, will show his face. As for whether the 5 million US dollars exchange for political achievements, he does not want to consider it for the time being.
After making money, Ziano was in a good mood and thoughtfully considered improving his son's living conditions. Given that his property should not be revealed too much, he only dared to carefully buy a three-bedroom apartment in the traditional wealthy area of Rome instead of making a luxurious villa. The advantage is that it is relatively secluded and close to the newspaper. Considering that he plans to get a maid to take care of his son's daily life.
Originally, the wife thought that since the family was in Rome, the son did not need to live outside, but Ziano, the old man knew Contini's temper and there was a lot of things for the newspaper. She felt that her son was already adult and responsible, so she didn't have to live at home, so she just came back on the weekend to have a meal together.
In order to prevent some unspeakable incidents from happening when young maids live with young and rich young masters, the specific candidate was personally checked by Mrs. Ziano, Contini's mother, and finally carefully selected a capable maid from the home, who was nearly 40 years old, and went there.
Except for knowing that he had begun to buy stocks of General Motors and American Radio, Contini knew nothing about anything else. He was busy accompanying Du Hei to inspect other German aviation companies. During the inspection, Du Hei was very touched when he learned that Junckers had also confirmed the development trend of metallization and monoplane aircraft.
Overall, Alitalia's level is not behind in the world at present, but its disadvantages are quite obvious:
First, there are too many aviation companies, which is not a manifestation of strong strength, but because the scale of enterprises is generally small. Except for Fiat's size and ability that is comparable to that of first-class foreign companies, the rest are small;
Second, the output is too low, and there are very few companies that can achieve a monthly output of more than 200 aircraft, while there are 4 companies in Germany;
Third, too many models and too complicated, maintenance and repair are generally a big problem - this is a sequelae caused by the large number;
Fourth, the core of aircraft development - the level of aviation engine development is relatively low. Companies that can build engines are generally fewer than aircraft manufacturing companies, but Italy's problem is low production and low technical level;
Fifth, relying too much on the genius of individual designers and not forming a joint force for research and development, designers tend to value design and neglect production...
After writing the general report, Contini felt that these views were too dull and not eye-catching enough, so he added another note to continue to stimulate Du Hei: "The overall level of the Italian aviation industry is OK, but the distribution is unbalanced; some cutting-edge fields can reach the international advanced level, but the overall level is low; there is a serious lack of large-scale manufacturing systems and skilled workers... If the status quo does not change, he will show off in the future, engage in flight competitions, and be fooled, and if a large-scale war is really defeated!"
The last half is the most terrifying conclusion, which means that the Italian aviation industry can play tickets, but once the war comes, especially the world war, it will be over.
After reading the report, Du Hei was neither worried nor furious. On the contrary, he looked calm and said at the end: "I basically agree with the idea of this report, but I can't submit it like this. As for the reason, I think you know better than me."
Contini nodded: Because of the theoretical authority of Duhei, and the level of Alitalia is indeed good, Mussolini is very supportive of the establishment of an independent air force, and is currently discussing follow-up arrangements with the Army. If this report is handed over in this way, it will not be possible to provide attack shells to the opposition, and it will eventually anger Mussolini.
"This is a report for you..." Contini tricked out another report, "This is what he intends to give to the cabinet and the leader."
The second report is written with a very artistic sense. The beginning clearly points out that Italy is the world's top aviation power with advanced technology, wide distribution, and numerous talents. It has been involved in various aviation research fields, without blind spots - another way of expression of small and scatteredness. Then it boasts that Italy is the first country in the world to use aircraft in combat practice, which set off a storm of a new military revolution. Based on this deep soil, the world's most advanced air supremacy theory was produced, which shows that Italy's system from theory to practice is very complete. Then it shows that the establishment of an independent air force is the general trend, and it is another key measure for Italy to lead the world's military trend and set the trend. It reflects the leader's far-sighted vision with a future and will be remembered forever in history.
Du Hei read the last paragraph of the report word by word: "By examining the domestic and foreign situations, we came to a conclusion: the aviation industry and the air force have achieved unprecedentedly impressive results, which is the pride of all Italians!
… Looking forward to the future, under the wise leadership and high attention of the great leader, under the guidance and encouragement of the spirit of the Fascist revolution, and under the unity of all knowledgeable people in the aviation, military and political circles, as long as we continue to work in the right direction, the aviation industry will surely become the pillar industry of our national economy, the Independent Air Force will surely become the backbone of the national defense system, and will surely shoulder the historical responsibility of uniting people, inspiring fighting spirit, inspiring spirit, and showing the new image of Italy's new country. The Italian aviation industry and the Independent Air Force will surely be the most dazzling pearl in the crown of the new Roman Empire!”
Du Hei sighed: "Calai, I finally feel old. You will be more suitable to be the Minister of Aviation than me in the future..."
"Teacher, I'm not even an assistant to the minister..."
"You will be yes, when I go back, you will be the assistant minister. You can print this title on your business card, except that you have no salary, other powers are the same as those of the assistant minister."
Contini doesn't care about salary or something at all. He nodded and asked, "Teacher, how to change the second report?"
"No need to change it. After going back, I officially report it to the leader in the name of the Ministry of Aviation." Du Hei thought for a while and added, "As for the first report you gave me, I will put it on the desk and you can see it as soon as you look up. Use it to alert yourself!"
In fact, Contini explained a lot of other technical prospects in his report, including rocket power, jet powered aircraft, helicopters, automatic navigation, torpedo attack, airborne combat, etc., all appeared. Although it was vague, it was like opening a brand new window for a real academic authority like Du Hei. He felt that the theory of air supremacy would need to be greatly modified and improved before it could be considered to be truly tenable.
He sighed: "I don't know how your head grows? Why do you always come up with incredible but logical theories? I know you are studying in the law department, so you probably have never been involved in aviation, weapons, or military science?"
"I am in the history department now, and I am very interested in business management... I am also very interested in military and war, and I pay great attention to science and technology." Contini pretended to be lightly, which was simply invisible. "Teacher, academics are learned from analogies. You may encounter obstacles that you cannot overcome when studying in a field. If you think you don't have enough knowledge, you are wrong, because you are already too deep. Once you try to consider it from a different perspective, the problem may be solved, especially for front-end research. You must calm your mind, let yourself go, and be calm..."
Du Hei's face twitched: "Are you sarcasticating me?"
"No, I think the teacher has a good attitude. He is the most humble and down-to-earth minister I have ever met... Now, this cabinet, to be honest, has the temperament and elegance to put a report that is alarmist and even worthless to be worthless. I remind my important officials that there is no one else except the teacher, including my father."
"I understand your oblique flattery and said it well, but if you can flatter me a few less, I will be happier."
