Intelligent Industrial Empire

"Boss, what happened, why are you in such a hurry to go to the United States?" Chen Jie couldn't understand Yun Fei's eagerness.While waiting for boarding at the airport, Chen Jie couldn't help asking Yun Fei.

Yun Fei has an invitation letter from the American company Bill’s old man who can’t help it to invite to dinner together. In addition, this is China’s richest man. What Americans like most is that rich Chinese come to them for consumption and are happy It made them feel that the United States is much better than China, so Yunfei's visa was also handled in just three days.

The Chinese capital has long opened a special line to San Francisco in the United States.

So Yun Fei asked Li Lu to book the plane to fly to the United States that night as soon as he got the visa.

Although the Chinese capital already has a special flight from Beijing to the United States, it takes several hours to fly from Hong Kong to the United States in the evening, so Yunfei directly prepared to transfer from Hong Kong.

"The people from General Motors directly let President Jiang sit on the bench..." Yun Fei said coldly.

Chen Jie frowned upon hearing Yun Fei's words: "Don't we have a multi-billion-dollar contract? GM hasn't really looked down on our multi-billion-dollar contract?"

Chen Jie doesn’t know anything about aircraft engines, but she knows that this is only the first order for a large aircraft project, and subsequent development will have a larger market. It is impossible for any company to give up having a rich market prospect. Companies and industries.

Although GM's annual turnover has tens of billions of dollars in revenue, this is not the reason why they can reject hundreds of millions of dollars in orders from Chinese users.

"Don’t you want to increase prices? Maybe it’s because Boeing has put pressure on them, or maybe they have seen Boeing’s operating methods. Anyway, we can’t produce them now, or we will slowly spend decades on this. Projects, or they can only accept their price increases." For Americans, it is very hot.

But there is no way.

The country's scientific and technological strength is not good. In addition, the developed countries whose technology has always been led by the United States have said that it is not easy to obtain these gadgets.

Perhaps, General Motors believes that their TF34 is the only aero engine that can be used on China's regional passenger aircraft, so it is prepared to use this to blackmail them.

There were no surprises along the way, and there was no event such as hijacking that could allow Yun Fei to give full play to his protagonist's halo.What's more, although the activities of international terrorist organizations have become increasingly rampant in recent years, the most powerful terrorists in the Middle East generally do not come to the East. After all, they are hostile to the developed world such as Europe and America, not China, which is still a developing country. .

What's more, China doesn't like to interfere in other countries' internal affairs, and there is no direct conflict with the demands of those terrorists.

"GM hasn't paid any attention to us?" After Yunfei arrived in San Francisco, he didn't even leave the airport, so he transferred directly to Fairfield, where the General Electric headquarters is located in Connecticut.

"Jack Welch didn't mean to meet us at all. He sent an ordinary person from the Aviation Affairs Department to receive us. The arranged hotel was horrible, so we went straight out to find another hotel..." Jiang Jianxing nodded. Said with a wry smile.

This is really too bully.

The reason for this to them is because they are a private company. If it is a government team, the specifications will definitely be much more advanced.

The different nature and different pursuits of the two parties make the negotiation between the two parties very difficult.

"What's the reaction from Pratt Whitney?" Yun Fei did not ask about General Electric, but directly asked United Technologies' response to their procurement mission.

Of the world's three largest jetliner engine manufacturing companies, the United States accounts for two, and General Electric has the largest market share, followed by Pratt Whitney, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation that specializes in aerospace design and manufacturing.

The British Rolls-Royce, originally belonged to the world's second largest aero engine manufacturer, but most of their engines are military.Shifting to the civil aviation market and focusing on development have also happened in recent years.

Before coming, the design team of the large aircraft project listed three types of aero engines that are most suitable for their ARJ21 aircraft. The general TF34 is the most suitable and the easiest engine for them to obtain the American aviation airworthiness license.The second is Pratt Whitney's PW8000 series geared turbine engine, which has better performance than the general-purpose TF34, but it only started development last year. I don't know when samples will appear.

The British Rolls-Royce RB211 series engines are much worse than these two engines.

Otherwise, Ma Fengshan and their first stop should be Europe instead of the United States.

After all, Rolls-Royce's cooperation with China is longer than that of American companies, and the bass engine is Rolls-Royce's technology.China's earliest aero engine technology was basically imported from the United Kingdom. In the mid-1970s, the introduction of military bass engine production technology, fifty sets of engines and related patented technology and design materials cost a total of nearly 200 million pounds!

You know, this is 200 million pounds in the mid-1970s.

On the Flying Leopard aircraft of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China this year, it was because of the discontinuation of the turbofan 6 engine project and the lack of localization of the bass. These Flying Leopards used bass engines that had been in the warehouse for more than ten years!

When it comes to this, people who know the inside story can do nothing except silent heartache and silent tears.

This is why Yunfei, China's largest private boss, wants to build a big plane, and the domestic experts who enjoy special state allowances give up their jobs and devote themselves to the private boss of Yunfei and are exploited by him.

Because of China's relationship with Rolls-Royce, it may be easier to import civilian engines from them.

The McDonnell Douglas aircraft produced in China has always used the V2500 engine produced by Rolls-Royce. This is an old-fashioned engine that has basically been eliminated in the European and American markets, but it is still in use in the Chinese market.

The ARJ-21 regional aircraft, like the original world of Yunfei, has been given a sacred mission-a new generation of regional passenger aircraft in China in the 21st century!

If you still use an engine that has been eliminated by the market, at least Yunfei can't afford to lose this person.

Rolls-Royce's RB211-535, which is suitable for regional airliners, is advanced, but its performance is still much worse than that of the engines of the two American companies.

"They are very welcome, but we have been visiting GM these days. Although there is no high-level reception for us, from their response, they still attach great importance to our order..." Jiang Jianxing faced the cloud Fei said.

"Pay attention to the fart and ignore them. Since Pratt Whitney has shown kindness to us, let's go to them first. Doesn't GM want to consume it with us? Let's consume it with them!" Yun Said not indifferently.

Anyway, I buy the engine, which one is not?

United Technologies Corporation will definitely be very happy to grab orders from GM, the world's third largest group.

The only bad thing is that if you buy off-the-shelf engines from United Technologies, you can only buy the JT8D-200 engine used by the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 produced in China. This engine has begun to fall behind.

"I think so too, but the representatives sent by other shareholders are more inclined to GM engines. They are not familiar with United Technologies engines at all." Jiang Jianxing said with a wry smile.

"We are the absolute controlling shareholders, and their big brothers have no opinion on us. They still want to turn the sky over? Who will be haggling here again, let them go back!" Yun Fei is not Jiang Jianxing, he would estimate those state-owned enterprises. The face of the unit.

These guys followed. They were originally a soy sauce party. In China, this kind of thing is absolutely inevitable. Yun Fei also turned a blind eye to such things. After all, they were all negotiating the equity issue. Let Yun's holding a lot.

If these guys are honestly eating, drinking and having fun in the United States, don't think about getting rebates or anything else. Yunfei won't care about them, but it is not so easy for them to get benefits other than travel through this project.

Boss Yun couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes.

"If you do that, you won't get along well in the future. Although the SASAC and the Shanghai Municipal Government will not say anything, it is difficult to guarantee that these guys will go back to add fuel and vinegar and cause their dissatisfaction..." Jiang Jianxing sighed. Do whatever you want.

If possible, Jiang Jianxing hopes that Yun's holding company will do this project.

Although the financial pressure is immense, at least it is possible to do things in a down-to-earth manner without having to think about how to manage internal relations every day. Such things are too tiring.It is for this reason that he agreed to serve as the chairman and chief executive officer of the aircraft manufacturing company.

Yun Fei is too idealistic, and his temper is too hot. If he follows his temper, it is very likely that their tens of billions of capital investment will eventually be lost.

This is something he doesn't want to see.

"Uncle, I know you can’t manage well, and you’re embarrassed by being caught in the middle. We have to have someone sing blackface, right? Let’s call everyone together at night. I will sing this blackface. Anyway, it’s offended. There are a lot of little ghosts, and I am not afraid to offend a few more people. After I return, if they chirp, I will handle these things. After all, for them, your weight is not as important as my legal person!" Yun Fei is not afraid of this either. The words made Jiang Jianxing feel uncomfortable.

The relationship between their uncles and nephews gets along very well.

Jiang Jianxing is two girls, and Yun Fei is kind to these two younger sisters. He doesn't need to think about these things for them at all. Otherwise, if Yun Fei gives him shares, he will not refuse.
