Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 699 - 698: Seize the Opportunity

Moreover, Jiang Cheng also plans to use a lot of new technologies on this private plane, which only his own technical staff can accomplish.

After deciding to manufacture his own private plane, Jiang Cheng ran to the Aerospace Technology Company to get those technicians to make one for him.

Aerospace Technology Company sounds impressive just by the name, Jiang Cheng figured this group of people under him could build a plane, so he went to these professionals.

Jiang Cheng directly found Xiao Lu, seeking advice from the person in charge.

After finishing up his work recently, Peng was also temporarily free, so since Xiao Peng was available, he could come and help Jiang Cheng.

"Xiao Peng, since you're not too busy lately, why don't you help me make a private plane? I plan to build one that suits my tastes."

As soon as they met, Jiang Cheng went straight to the point, bringing up the private plane matter with Peng.

After hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Peng showed a helpless expression on his face.

As soon as he heard what Jiang Cheng said, he felt a sudden toothache.

Building a private plane is not that simple. If it were as easy as Jiang Cheng said, that would be great.

Listening to Jiang Cheng, it sounded like making a toy plane. How could you just "help me make a private plane"? Can this kind of thing even be a verb?

Xiao ranted internally about his boss, unsure how to answer his boss's question.

Only Jiang Cheng could talk about such a prestigious thing like a private plane with such a relaxed tone.

However, despite his internal complaints, Xiao Peng started to seriously consider the issue.

After all, Jiang Cheng is his boss, and since the boss has given the order, as an employee, he must find a way to solve this problem.

Xiao Peng didn't immediately reply to Jiang Cheng. Instead, he thought about it for a while before starting to speak.

"President Jiang, although our R&D team is number one in technology globally, private planes are not our area of expertise, so I am not very confident about this matter."

"After all, we are just a professional aerospace technology team, and planes do not fall within our domain. All our technical staff are very unfamiliar with this, so we might not be able to meet President Jiang's requirements this time."

Peng seriously analyzed it before giving his final answer.

He actually had very little contact with planes, though he more or less understood something about them.

After analyzing his team's technology, he found that they indeed had very little grasp on this.

Despite the name Aerospace Technology Company suggesting that they could make planes,

aerospace refers to rockets and satellites, which have nothing to do with planes.

Planes belong to the aviation sector and have nothing to do with aerospace.

Even though aerospace and aviation are just one word apart, the difference inside is immense.

This answer from Xin Peng left Jiang Cheng unsatisfied. To him, the technology for private planes is far simpler than for rockets. His team shouldn't have a problem with it.

So Jiang Cheng asked with a puzzled tone, "Aren't we an aerospace technology team? We should be better than any average aviation technology team."

"The tech content of a plane is much simpler compared to a rocket, so there's no reason why we can't make one ourselves."

What Jiang Cheng said actually made sense. In terms of technical difficulty, rockets are far more advanced than planes; they are not even on the same level.

They can already mass-produce rockets, so there's no reason they can't make even a small plane.

Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, Xiao Peng felt his teeth ache even more.

What Jiang Cheng said sounded easy and laid-back, but he hadn't considered their perspective at all.

Items in the field of high-tech have very strong specialization; they are experts at making rockets but know nothing about planes.

These are completely different fields, and in modern science, entering a different domain means facing a completely different scenario.

That's why the division of labor in modern science is becoming clearer, to handle such situations.

Peng just wanted to say that their domain couldn't accomplish this, but he thought of his own boss, and the words just wouldn't come out.

The Jiang Cheng in front of him is someone who spans different domains, has crossed countless research fields, and achieved great successes in each.

In front of a genius like Jiang Cheng, who can disregard domain specialization, he really couldn't say those words.

If he admitted he couldn't do it, wouldn't that be embarrassing in front of his own boss?

Although you can't measure Jiang Cheng by common sense, as employees, they were nowhere near compared to their boss, and admitting it felt like something embarrassing.

In the end, Xiao could only tell Jiang Cheng, "If President Jiang really wants to make a private plane, it's not that we can't do it.

But we would need to research many technologies from scratch and also hire some relevant talents.

It would be like starting over to develop plane technology, and the cost in time and resources would be immense.

So President Jiang, you'd be better off ordering one from outside; it would save a lot of effort."

Xiao Peng said this very realistic situation; hastily stepping into such a high-tech domain, no matter how excellent the team is, it would take time to adapt.

If they really made the decision, it's not that they couldn't make it, but the wasted time would be significant, far less economical than just buying one from outside.

Xiao Peng really couldn't understand Jiang Cheng's thinking; to want a private plane, why must he make one himself? He had never heard of such a thing.

If Jiang Cheng wanted a car, wouldn't he just have to make one himself?

Alright, Jiang Cheng did indeed make a car himself, and it's not just a matter of one or two; he's almost about to dominate the car market.

After hearing Peng's suggestion, Jiang Cheng thought for a while and then said, "Alright, it seems I hadn't considered everything before. Asking you to make a private plane is indeed wasteful; it's like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito — not only would it waste resources, it wouldn't hit."

"I'd better find some professionals for this. I'll see which private plane manufacturing company is good, buy one to play with, and then have them make me a private plane."

After finishing, Jiang Cheng left. Since this place couldn't solve his problem, he'll go where it can be solved.

In the end, left behind was Peng, standing in a daze in the wind, watching Jiang Cheng's carefree back slowly disappearing.
