Chapter 922 Can your plane fly without the American engine? (two)

Jiang Jianxing would never object to letting Yun Fei come to sing black faces.

Yun Fei is very close to his money bag, everyone in China knows.Didn't you see that Yunfei, China's youngest private boss, has always just liked making money, not consumption?

Many upstarts in China started buying luxury houses, buying luxury cars, and going to various high-end places after they became rich. They would spend a lot of money at every turn, for fear that others might not know that he is rich.Yun Fei is different. If it is not particularly necessary, his Rolls-Royce is rarely driven. It is absolutely impossible for him to eat tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of slapsticks.

The only thing that spends more extravagantly is to give 600,000 yuan a year to raise Chen Xiaomi, a canary...

The women around him all spent their own money.

Yunfei's biggest spending project is to invest in various technical research.This is unmatched by any private boss in China.This is also the reason why Chinese senior leaders indulged him.

Most of the money is taken out of Yunfei’s pocket, and these guys who rely on their relationship to follow the inspection team out to eat and drink, actually want to get benefits from other state-owned enterprises in purchasing. This is not trying to get things done. Inverse scale or what?

That evening, Jiang Jianxing called everyone together, under the pretext that he held a welcome ceremony in the United States for the largest shareholder of the Yunfei project and the absolute controlling shareholder.

Not many people knew about Yunfei's arrival except Jiang Jianxing.

Many people only learned that this powerful guy came for the engine after receiving the notice.

"Everyone, we have to take a long time in the United States. Our project funding is tight. Everyone knows that, so, the company will not be reimbursed for all things like traveling and shopping..." The welcome party is about to end. At that time, Yun Fei began to speak to everyone.

Hearing Yun Fei's words, many people showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

"In addition, in order to save money, we will go to East Hartford tomorrow. While inspecting GM's engines, we will also inspect Pratt Whitney's engines. Anyway, we are all in one state and we don't need to fly. Come and fly. In order to save money, except for the technicians, don't follow. I will give everyone a two-day vacation to stroll around this foreign country..." Yun Fei said with a smile on his face.

At this moment, many people's faces became gloomy, but they couldn't attack here.

They all knew how strong Yunfei was at the beginning of cooperation negotiations on the large aircraft project.Even the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Shanghai Municipal Government are not in his eyes.If they want to find awkwardness here now, it is entirely possible that this bastard Yun Fei will let them buy their own plane tickets and go back to China.

Also, don't even think about staying in a large aircraft factory in the future.

Everyone clearly understands Yun Fei.This guy doesn't care about offending people at all, but Jiang Jianxing is not someone who knows how to tactfully.

After Yun Fei finished speaking, he left everyone at will, and he returned to the room.

Leaving Jiang Jianxing here to calm everyone's emotions, saying that Yun Fei is also anxious to get angry because of his urgency, so that everyone should not go to his heart, anyway, Yun Fei sings black face, he will sing red face.

In the end, Jiang Jianxing promised to give everyone a thousand dollars in activity funds before pacifying these guys.

The current exchange rate of the RMB to the US dollar is the highest in history, which is more than eight yuan and six cents.In a country where prices are not high, you can buy a lot of things.

"Mr. Blacker, I hope you can think about it clearly. Although you are doing this in the interests of your company, it is not in the interests of the United States. The Chinese, without our American aircraft engines and avionics systems, their company would not be able to fly. Get up!" Boeing executives are very upset about the Chinese wanting to make large aircraft.

In order to export planes to China, the Americans finally spent many years to get rid of China’s Yunshi project. At this time, Boeing acquired McDonnell Douglas and negotiated with Airbus Europe in order to restrict the Chinese aviation industry from becoming theirs. Competitors have made China, which has a huge potential market, a fat sheep to be slaughtered by them. Both parties have terminated the cooperation agreement with China, leaving China, which needs a huge number of aircraft, no aircraft to build.

Now the Chinese have to give them whatever price they want. Unexpectedly, before they have sold a few planes, the Chinese will start to build their own planes.

How can this work?

Especially the civil aircraft trading company of the Civil Aircraft Group, which is a subsidiary of Boeing Group, is even more upset about this matter!

After learning that the Chinese delegation was preparing to purchase engines from Walter Engines, a subsidiary of GE Aviation Systems, Boeing Civil Aircraft Group had tackled GE's high-level economic research, and they agreed to suppress users from China.

Anyway, there is no loss for them. As long as the planes used by the Chinese are purchased from the United States, most of them use engines manufactured by General Motors. This is of great benefit to Walter's suppression of Pratt & Whitney.

It is precisely because of the efforts of the Boeing research team that the procurement inspection team from China was directly received in Fairfield, where the General Motors headquarters is located, instead of Avondale, Ohio, where the General Aviation System Company Walter Engine Company is located.

But when I heard that Pratt & Whitney, a subsidiary of United Technologies, was very interested in Chinese orders, Boeing's people were immediately anxious.

No, Jon Carson, general manager of their civil aircraft trading company, urgently met with Pratt & Whitney President Blacker, hoping to reach an agreement before the Chinese arrive in East Hartford tomorrow.

"Mr. Jon, what does it mean that it is not in the national interest of the United States? Did Pratt & Whitney have evaded taxes? Or did you export technologies that the country prohibited to the Chinese? Or, you became a CIA official?" For Jon Carson, Blacker didn't have a good opinion.

It is this guy who makes them very passive.

Boeing's commercial aircraft trade, whether it is a domestic company or an international market, has to go through trading companies.Pratt & Whitney’s engines have not been in the civilian market for a long time, mainly developing military engines.They are the biggest competitor of General Aircraft Systems in the United States.

Shuangfa almost broke the blood for every order.

But GM has other business profits to subsidize their engine research and development, while Pratt & Whitney is a specialized propulsion system design and manufacturing company, and it is simply not comparable to GM in terms of research funding sources.

Coupled with the inclined attitude of the person in charge of the Boeing Aircraft Trading Company, it is even more disadvantageous for them.

"If the Chinese people come up with the aircraft they desperately need, then the next step will definitely move towards aero engine technology. Once they succeed in research, not only we will lose the huge Chinese market, you will also lose!" By Black Ernong couldn't answer, for a while, Jon Carson said with a gloomy face.

"The Chinese came up with aircraft engines? Hehe, since the 1970s, they have introduced bass military and civilian engines from the UK. Can they produce them now? Even if they can make engines, does it matter to us? We? How many engines has the Pratt & Whitney Company sold to China?" Blacker said with a smile on his face.

The Chinese came up with engines, and they ended up just losing the Chinese market.

Now they have no market share at all in the Chinese market.The civil aviation airliners flying in the sky of China are all engines from General Motors and the British Rolls-Royce Company, while Chinese military aircraft use polar bear engines.

Besides, even if China does research and development, and they form a good cooperative relationship with Chinese customers, they will not lose all of China's market share.

China’s large aircraft project is controlled by a private owner.

Private bosses are not like the Chinese government. What they value most is not face, but profit.

This is the best opportunity for Pratt & Whitney's engines to enter the Chinese market.There are detailed reports all over the world about the young boss of China’s large aircraft project. Many people believe that this young man made a fortune with the support of the government like other private bosses in China, but they have analyzed in depth the way this young man made his fortune. The board of directors of Pratt & Whitney does not think so.

For the company's development, they even did not hesitate to offend Boeing.

In the European and American markets, their engines are still very well-known. They are generally selected by customers instead of purchasing from the Chinese government. There is a great chance of being controlled by the person in charge.

The engine used by the US military aircraft is not determined by the aircraft manufacturer, but by the US Department of Logistics Equipment and Technology.

Therefore, it does not matter to offend Boeing.

What's more, offending Boeing Civil Aircraft Trading Company does not mean offending Boeing executives.

"Chairman, are we really doing this?" The conversation between Blacker and Jon Carson broke up, and his assistant was very worried.

"What's wrong? China's economic development momentum has not slowed down, and they are now vigorously supporting real estate development in China, and there is no problem in maintaining economic growth for more than a decade. The Chinese people are bulging up and travel by plane. The number of people will increase. Otherwise, the young man in China will be so stupid that he will spend tens of billions of dollars in an industry that takes decades to recover its investment?" Blacker said with a smile.

"I think Mr. Jon is right. Without our engines, the Chinese would not be able to build a plane that can fly into the sky!" The assistant obviously has no good feelings for China.

"Without our engines, there are European engines! If we don't sell, the British will be so stupid not to sell? Only these short-sighted companies will do such a thing!" Blacker mocked.
