Daming 1805

Chapter 405 Songjiang Aviation Industrial Park

The grandparents of Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang did not return to Nanjing immediately after visiting the Jiangnan Shipyard.

I didn't go to Zhu Jianyan immediately to discuss the technical containment of Taixi. The urgency of this matter is not high.

Now that I have come to the edge of Songjiang Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, and Nantong Mansion, there are a few important factories of my own family around there, and I have to go and have a look.

The first is the "Shanghai Industrial Park of Daming Airlines Songjiang Prefecture", which is the production and manufacturing center of various civil aircraft and military transport aircraft developed by Daming Aviation under the name of Zhu Jingyuan.

The location is right in the city center of Shanghai where Zhu Jingyuan lived in his previous life, and now in Shanghai County, which is close to the border of Songjiang Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture.

The government of Songjiang Prefecture in Ming Dynasty has always been in Huating County.

But Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang, grandparents and grandchildren, came to visit, and several senior officials headed by the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture also came.

When Zhu Jingyuan's Daming Airlines was going to build an aviation industry base in Songjiang Prefecture, the entire Songjiang Prefecture was in a state of joy and encouragement.

Local craftsmen and ordinary workers are very happy.

Although Daming Airlines is not an industry of the Royal Consortium, it is better than the industry of the Royal Consortium.

The treatment in the imperial court is the same as that of the royal consortium, and it can even be regarded as more special.

The wages and guarantees for workers are all in line with the latest regulations of the imperial court, and there are also unique additional benefits.

The local non-governmental businessmen are also very happy. Aircraft manufacturing is currently the highest and newest industry, and it is also a very popular investment industry.

The most important thing is that Zhu Jingyuan promoted the establishment of the Daming Aviation Industry Association with the Ministry of Industry in charge.

The Daming Aviation Industry Association has three most important members, the research and development institutions and factories of the Ministry of Industry, Daming Aviation, and Daming Royal Aviation Machine Company.

In fact, all three companies were directly guided by Zhu Jingyuan, and gained a lot of experience and designs from later generations.

In the past few years, a very complete technical framework for the aviation industry has been directly established.

The most critical, important, and low-level patents in the aviation industry, and a large number of patents on the most practical functions, designs, production, maintenance, and operations have all been clearly "developed" by the three companies and registered with the Patent Department of the Ministry of Industry .

The most important thing is that all these patents have passed through the Daming Aviation Industry Association, forming a cross-licensing and reverse licensing agreement.

As long as you sign a patent use contract with the Aviation Industry Association as a whole, you can get the authorization of all the aviation industry-related patents, and even a complete set of guidance plans for factory construction and production.

Correspondingly, after signing this agreement and joining the Aviation Industry Association, the patents generated in this industry must also be reverse-licensed to the Aviation Industry Association, and other manufacturers can also obtain the right to use this way.

However, this reverse authorization is not a free authorization, but can get a share from the cost of other people's purchase of authorization.

However, this authorization fee is not high, and a special upper limit has been set.

In the end, the sum of all patent fees for an aircraft shall not exceed 20.00% of the sales price.

The excess is not required to be paid.

Among the parts that do not exceed, the authorization fees for the patents held by Zhu Jingyuan can be refunded according to the actual number of aircraft sold, and the minimum can be reduced to less than 5.00%.

Zhu Jingyuan led the patent system created by the three major aviation research and development bases of Daming Airlines, Daming Royal Flying Machinery Company, and the Aviation Research and Development Center of the Ministry of Industry, which turned Daming's aviation industry into a city as solid as pouring steel.

It is basically impossible for other subsequent manufacturers to break through this barrier, and even the relatively easy holes were blocked by Zhu Jingyuan in advance.

But at the same time, the operation logic of the Aviation Industry Association opened an extremely huge door on this barrier.

All manufacturers who are willing to join, as long as they abide by the rules of the Aviation Industry Association, they can get almost hand-in-hand guidance.

Anyone from Daming can directly join this industry with almost no barriers.

This patent and management system has been in operation for several years, making Daming's aviation industry a real hot spot for investment.

Manufacturers of all sizes have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Those with large capital can build transport planes, and those with technological advantages can build passenger planes, military planes and engines.

Those who do not have much money and want to participate in the aviation industry can engage in pesticide machines, or even "large-sized model airplanes" and "large bamboo dragonflies".

The two industries of helicopter and rotorcraft have also been developed now.

A large number of manufacturers have formed a large number of utility patents in actual production, and the patent pool of the Aviation Industry Association is also continuously expanding.

In this environment, although Daming's aviation industry is a hot spot for investment, it is also a highly competitive industry.

There is patent protection here, but it is better than none.

Because all manufacturers are members of the association, new inventions of all manufacturers must be reverse-licensed, and other manufacturers can use them.

It seems that there is no patent protection, but it seems that there is really one.

The new ideas that various manufacturers can come up with can quickly form patents. If this idea is really profitable, other manufacturers will definitely follow up.

As long as the manufacturer takes this profit point as a selling point, the inventor can apply to the association and ask the other party to pay a special licensing fee.

Some manufacturers have their own new inventions, but there are problems in their own production or operation, and they have not gained any market benefits.

As a result, it was done well by other manufacturers, and the reverse authorization fee made a fortune.

But at the same time, under this fierce competition, many manufacturers were quickly eliminated.

The current update speed of aviation technology is like a rocket taking off.

If the response is half a beat slow, it may go bankrupt directly.

Various experimental accidents, accidents caused by various wrong designs, and various incidents caused by emergency releases are all emerging one after another.

Flying accidents happened one after another all over the country, and there was even a feeling of boycotting flying machines in many places.

Fortunately, with Zhu Jingyuan and the Ministry of Industry's advance preparation, the industry association and relevant government offices have maintained dedicated communication for a long time.

Let the update speed of relevant management regulations be as fast as the development of the industry.

Most of the various exposed issues were quickly resolved and contained.

Coupled with the strong support of Zhu Jingyuan, his father and grandfather, various problems during the period of barbaric expansion led to social pressure, and did not in turn curb the development of the industry.

The openness and guidance of the aviation industry, and the degree of care the court has given to the management and guidance of this industry, show that the court has attached unprecedented importance to this industry, which in turn proves that this industry must have a future.

Finally, in this case, the manufacturers themselves have a strong sense of confidentiality. Before the patent application is approved and the products corresponding to the patent are launched, they strictly control the disclosure of related technologies.

Stealing or even plagiarism among manufacturers is also very common.

Because when there is no patent, stealing and plagiarizing are not illegal in themselves.

After the patent is formed, it will be reverse authorized by the association by default, and at most it will be a supplementary patent fee.

Daming Airlines and Daming Royal Flying Machine Company, the two companies with direct foreign aircraft factories and commercial firms, have naturally become the targets of peers to follow and copy.

However, the nature of these two companies is special, and their economies of scale are not comparable to other private manufacturers, and they will basically not directly confront and compete with developing private manufacturers.

Therefore, the confidentiality level of these two manufacturers is not the highest.

It will even take the initiative to guide manufacturers to develop in a certain direction.

Therefore, these two manufacturers are actually the wind vanes in the industry, especially Daming Airlines, the inventor of the aircraft, Zhu Jingyuan.

If the industrial park of Daming Aviation is built in Songjiang, the local investors in Songjiang will be able to get the most out of the water.

Therefore, businessmen in Songjiang also welcome Daming Airlines to enter.

Finally, officials at all levels of the Yamen in Songjiang still had some special hopes for Zhu Jingyuan.

Special personnel will cooperate with the whole process to handle the formalities, select land, and recruit workers.

It's not just because of the noble status of the boss Zhu Jingyuan, otherwise, even if the officials at all levels had to work hard to cooperate with the work, all the officials would not be in a state of joy.

It's not just because Zhu Jingyuan's investment is huge. People like Zhu Jingyuan's industry has a lot of investment, so there must be a lot of things.

The most important thing is that Zhu Jingyuan, a special prince, noticed Songjiang, which made Songjiang officials see a hope, a hope for the Songjiang Mansion to go further.

Of course, it is not a step forward to become a municipality directly under the central government in later generations, but to make Songjiang's geographical conditions truly complete.

The Songjiang Mansion of Daming in this world is weaker in all aspects of strength and influence than the Shanghai of Zhu Jingyuan's previous life.

In terms of land, first of all, the Yangtze River Estuary Sandbar, including Chongming Island, was not obtained.

These sandbars originally belonged to Suzhou, but were later allocated to Nantong by Emperor Shizu, instead of being allocated to Songjiang as in his previous life.

The sandbars at the mouth of the Yangtze River, including Chongming, are actually not important in themselves, whether it is to the Suzhou government of the Ming Dynasty or to the Shanghai city of later generations.

However, after Nantong developed and utilized these lands, it will in turn affect the geographical advantages of Suzhou and Songjiang.

Because sea-going ships entered the Yangtze River Estuary, they were all under the control of Nantong, not Suzhou or Songjiang. This created direct regional competition pressure on Suzhou and Songjiang.

Then there are the two counties of Jiading and Baoshan, and the east side of the Huangpu River estuary, the land of Gaoqiao Town in Pudong later.

These lands originally belonged to Suzhou, and they still belong to Suzhou now, instead of being allocated to Songjiang like later generations.

The current administrative division of Songjiang Prefecture is basically the same as that of the early Ming Dynasty 400 years ago. It is relatively "flat" on the whole, similar to a flat parallelogram.

Suzhou has lost Chongming and other sandbanks, but it still has Jiading and Baoshan, plus its already huge physique, it is like a big bag on the head of Songjiang.

Songjiang does not have the land along the lower reaches of the Huangpu River and the estuary, so its natural geographical conditions are always weaker than those of Suzhou.

Inland river boats in Songjiang have to pass through the boundary completely managed by Suzhou if they want to enter the sea along the Huangpu River.

However, the Songjiang people at this time were not the Shanghainese in their previous life, and they did not have the experience of their hometown being the economic center of the country.

Songjiang Prefecture has never owned Jiading and Baoshan. The border between Songjiang and Suzhou has lasted for more than 400 years.

Therefore, Songjiang people and officials will not have any complaints about this situation, but more of a kind of hope, "It would be great if the imperial court allocated the estuary of the Huangpu River to Songjiang."

Instead of the entire Baoshan County jurisdiction, simply exchange the land on the north bank of the Huangpu River for the land in "Gaoqiao Town" and other areas on the east bank of the mouth of the mouth. It is also acceptable to use the Huangpu River as the boundary.

It doesn't dare to want Jiading at all, it even wants to build canals in the territory and dig new channels for the Huangpu River.

In fact, the geographical conditions of Songjiang Mansion are now very good, and it has always been the outermost mansion at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to keep pace with Suzhou Mansion and Yingtian Mansion in terms of industrial and commercial development speed with such a small size.

In the eyes of Songjiang people in this world, Songjiang's zoning is only flawed, and there is no Huangpu River estuary.

It would be perfect to get the land on the east bank of the Huangpu River estuary, and it would have a chance to truly surpass Suzhou.

Zhu Jingyuan came to Songjiang to invest, and they saw the hope of finally achieving this goal through Zhu Jingyuan.

Zhu Jingyuan's own feeling in his heart is that even if Emperor Shizu didn't deliberately target Songjiang, at least he didn't pay enough attention to it.

Even if Songjiang is not to be turned into the financial center of Daming, at least the border between Songjiang and Suzhou should be adjusted.

The current border between Songjiang and Suzhou is the old road of Wusong River hundreds of years ago, which was gradually abandoned after "Huangpu seized Song".

So now it seems that there is Songjiang on the north bank of the Huangpu River, and Suzhou on the southeast bank of the Huangpu River.

It is obviously more reasonable to directly use the new natural boundary of the Huangpu River.

At the same time, although Suzhou has lost Chongming and other sandbars, its volume is still too large in various senses.

If it wasn't for Yingtian's special status in Jianghuai Province in the past and the current Jianghuai Province, Suzhou would have been the leader long ago.

But under the current circumstances, it is also unreasonable to cede the two counties of Jiading and Baoshan from Suzhou to Songjiang.

That would allow Songjiang to gradually replace Suzhou and become the most powerful prefecture in Jianghuai Province.

The industrialization of Ming Dynasty was spontaneous, and the external dependence was only on the resources of the colonies, but basically no technical imports.

Therefore, Ming did not need to cultivate a foreign economic center.

Zhu Jingyuan's idea is to "balance it out"...

Zhu Jingyuan was indeed prepared to follow the ideas of the people of Songjiang and adjust the border between Songjiang and Suzhou to the new main channel of the Huangpu River.

Perfecting Songjiang's geographical conditions and adding a little investment gain will allow it to keep pace with Suzhou.

Then there is no need to specifically strengthen Yingtian, the provincial capital.

As Nanjing of the Ming Dynasty, the capital of Jianghuai Province, as long as it has this status, it is enough to compete with the surrounding Jiangnan provinces.

Although Jianghuai Province is very large, it is indeed a place with fairly balanced development, which can sustain comprehensive development.

There is no need to concentrate on developing a certain place to become a leader.

Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan's investment is distributed in various southeast prefectures.

Songjiang is the Aviation Industrial Park, which can be said to be the most fashionable industry in the world.

Daming Airlines has the right to operate all aviation-related industries.

Now it basically covers all industries.

From engine design to aircraft manufacturing, from the sale of civil aircraft to the direct operation of air passenger and cargo transportation.

In addition to the lack of engine research and development, Songjiang's Aviation Industrial Park also covers all other production links.

Investors and factories who want to enter this industry as supporting manufacturers will definitely invest and build factories around them.

Shanghai County will definitely become the aviation industry center in the southern area of ​​Ming Dynasty.
