Intelligent Industrial Empire

"Mr. President, it's already lunch time. Should we invite our Chinese guests to lunch first and discuss during a short break?" When the scene fell into embarrassment, Blackell's secretary knocked on the door and entered the meeting room.

It was already 12:30 noon, and at the beginning, Blacker had ordered the secretary not to disturb them when they didn't get news.

The secretary has been waiting in her office. She always thought that Mr. Blacker and these Chinese would not talk about forgetting time, but she did not expect that after twelve o'clock, Blacker did not send her a message. Edited short message.

She waited until 12:30 to get the news. How did she know that if it hadn't been for Yun Fei to point out that their research has entered a critical period of the PW6000 project, neither of the two sides would take the initiative to take a break.

Pratt & Whitney needs a Chinese market.

The Chinese need their engines to make their own planes fly into the sky.

"I'm really hungry, Mr. Blackell, won't your company just ask us to eat raw beef?" Yun Fei also knew that even if they took the initiative in the negotiation, they wanted to take the other side's weakness as they did in China. It is impossible to end negotiations soon.

Foreign countries are fundamentally different from domestic ones.

Not only does it have to follow the rules of commercial negotiations, but it also conforms to the national interest.

In this era, no one can resist the will of the state, nor can any company.Just like many large industrial groups in the United States, many of them have to continuously dilute their equity and split up because of their too great influence on the country...

"Mr. Yun joked. We know that you are not used to western food. We specially found a master with the title of super chef in China from a Chinese restaurant in the city..." Regarding Yun Fei's immature performance at the moment, Blacker I don't think he is really so naive.

"That's good, I just don't know if this chef is a special-grade chef certificate issued at those stalls..." Yun Fei said with a whisper.

In foreign countries, it is impossible to have such a powerful chef, because these white people who are not rich in food culture simply cannot appreciate the essence of China on the tip of their tongue.Maybe the taste buds of these simple Caucasians are too poorly developed, or maybe they don't have much taste. There have never been many Chinese chefs who will make them real delicious.

You know, there is an old Chinese saying that slow work produces meticulous work. It comes from the chef industry. Many top dishes need to be cooked for several hours, not to mention the preparation time, especially some top dishes. Seasonings require harsh growth environments.

No one talks about the engine anymore. After all, the habit of Chinese people who like to negotiate at the wine table is not accepted in the United States, and the wine table culture only appears in China.

While Yun Fei and others followed Blacker and his party toward their staff restaurant, Costello, the president of Boeing Commercial Aircraft Group, was listening to the report of Jon Carson, general manager of the trading company, with a gloomy expression.

It is not too important for the Chinese to build large airplanes themselves. After all, China's institutional problems and technical level cannot be completed within a certain period of time.Moreover, even if the Chinese have built large airplanes, if they want to enter the international market, they need to obtain airworthiness licenses from the United States and Europe, otherwise they will only be able to play in their own domestic market.

Without engines, how many commercial aircraft the Chinese want to manufacture is not determined by their market, but by companies like Boeing and Airbus that control the entire world's aircraft business.But now Pratt & Whitney has taken the initiative to sell engines to China.

Once they have engines, the world's largest commercial aircraft market has little to do with them.

"Does Blacker really want to export the engine to the Chinese market?" Costello frowned and asked the capable man in front of him.No matter how strong the manufacturing capacity is, you have to sell the products. Airbus's technology is not inferior to Boeing, but it has been suppressed by Boeing, not because they started late, but because Jon Carson is here. He has an unmatched talent in business.

"It is true. According to my communication with him last night, if possible, he will even license the technology to the Chinese, or they will set up an engine production plant in China in order to gain a huge market share in China..." Jon Carson said calmly.

Once the Chinese themselves have the ability to make large airplanes, it will not be so easy for Boeing and Airbus to round up Chinese airlines as they did in the past.Moreover, if the Chinese have their own aircraft, they can only reduce the price!

This has just acquired McDonnell Douglas, and it hasn’t been long before they grabbed their hands in the Chinese market. The Chinese have begun to engage in such things?

"What did those guys from the Civil Aviation Administration of China and the Ministry of Aviation Industry say? Didn't they vowed to guarantee that China would not start this project within ten years?" Costello asked uncomfortably, "Our research costs are different. If they are in their hands, do these children who study abroad think that they can live without worry when they arrive?"

"Mr. President, for this project, at the beginning, a Chinese state-owned unit that was about to go bankrupt was engaged in obtaining project funds. Without state loans, they would not be able to engage in it. In the 1970s, they spent money on poor Chinese Hundreds of millions of pounds of foreign exchange have imported Rolls-Royce’s bass engine production technology. Hasn’t they still not produced their engines?” Jon Carson naturally knew that without aircraft engines, the Chinese would not be able to produce their own aircraft.

Costello's brows furrowed tighter: "But it's not that China's state-owned enterprises want to engage in this project, but that they have a young private boss with no backing, right?"

Jon Carson nodded solemnly.

This is what gives them headaches. "The new prime minister of the Chinese government is now vigorously fighting corruption, and many officials have already lost ground. Those Chinese officials who have taken advantage of us now dare not do too much, especially this project. It is backed by the supreme Chinese leadership..."

"You mean their old man who hasn't died yet? If that's the case, it is not easy to get rid of their project from China. When that old man just took office, he took the blame for his officials. It is possible to let the things of the year happen again, and it is impossible for China's top leaders to once again take the blame for the unimportant officials under them." Costello's thinking about the complicated Chinese people is very difficult to understand.

"This is not a project supported by the Chinese government, but it has attracted the attention of all senior government leaders. The main reason is that this young Chinese boss is privately funded to carry out this project, rather than funded by state finances. According to the current situation Look, this Chinese will not take a loan from the bank for this project, just because he is worried about being cut off his capital chain..." Jon Carson has been in charge of the operation of these things. After knowing these things, he has been working Run for these things.

For the insider, I have a very thorough understanding.

"There are such rich people in China? And still a young man with no background?" Costello didn't believe this.

"This young man is not without background. His background is incomparable to any Chinese. He has a very deep relationship with the top leaders of the Chinese government. Even the old Chinese man hidden behind the scenes inspected twice for the purpose of supporting him. His industry, and according to the information we got from the insiders of the Chinese government, this old man will inspect his industry again this year to support his large aircraft project..."

"This is a very interesting young man. Since he is an enemy that we can't defeat, maybe he can become our friend..." Costello took a deep breath.

Unlike Europe and the United States, China strictly follows market rules in everything.

The Chinese thinking cannot be understood by Europeans and Americans.

"If we cut off their thoughts from the engine and let them have no engine available, it will also prevent them from becoming our competitors. Airbus people will definitely not be willing to have a local competitor in the Chinese market... "Become a partner with the Chinese?

For Jon Carson, it was simply unacceptable. They spent such a huge amount of energy and finally reached the harvest time, but they had to divide a part of the benefits to the Chinese. This is simply impossible. If so, they tore up the cooperation agreement between McDonnell Douglas and the Chinese, and withdrawing the production authorization from the Chinese would have no effect. Instead, they would lose a large part of their interests.

"Jon, in the face of interests, there are no permanent enemies. If we force them to carry out this project on their own, perhaps we will completely lose the Chinese market. This young man has lost a lot of CNC machine tool companies in various countries along the way. Interests. In China, as long as you put on a domestic coat, you can kidnap most of the users.” Costello sighed, “Moreover, we cannot control Pratt & Whitney not to export their engines to China, just like Airbus can’t control Rolls-Royce’s engines not to export to China. On this point, Blacker’s bastard and Pratt & Whitney’s board of directors know better than any of us..."

The Chinese have basically been unable to stop this project.

Unless, you can start with the people who are doing the project itself...
