Intelligent Industrial Empire

"The current situation is a bit too unreasonable. According to reason, as the world's No. 1 and No. 2 company, the competition in the Chinese market should be more intense, especially now that our country's competition in the civil aviation market should be more intense. ......" From time to time, Cheng couldn't figure out such things.

It is normal for Boeing and Airbus to suppress China's aviation manufacturing industry.

After all, the Chinese market does not have any local competitors. Once the Chinese have their own large aircraft manufacturing capabilities, China will rise to the market of a country of national interest at every turn. It really has nothing to do with them.

If you want to sell airplanes to China, you don't want them to buy as they do now, but they please Chinese buyers.The price must be reduced by a large part.After all, not all Chinese people can pay for it.

As for the engine, it is not necessary at all. How many planes the Chinese need is basically fixed, and it can be seen how big China's market prospects are.As the world's largest supplier of aircraft engines and the second largest supplier of aircraft engines, everyone wants to dominate the Chinese market.

Once GM gained the Chinese market, Rolls-Royce, the second-largest supplier of aircraft engines, basically never had the opportunity to catch up with GM, the first company.Once Rolls-Royce acquires the Chinese market, it can directly surpass GM to become the world's largest supplier of civil aviation aircraft engines.After all, the entire European Union and the United States have imposed arms embargoes on China, and no one should think about military use.

Market share has become settled, and the only thing is China's civil aviation market.

"These things, we are not Europeans, nor Americans. We don't know what they think. They like what they think." Yun Fei twitched his mouth and said to everyone.

As someone who has passed by, he naturally knows that GM and Rolls-Royce were launched in the Chinese market in 2006, in the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, which is the year when China was going to engage in large aircraft projects. In the most fierce competition, in order to obtain the Chinese market and obtain the power supplier qualification for China’s new branch line project, General Motors of the United States developed the CF34-10A engine specifically for a Chinese ARJ-21 aircraft, and GM promised that once China’s new The branch line "successfully", they will move the engine production line to China.

In addition, on August 24 of that year, China Southern Airlines Group purchased 10 Boeing 787 Dreamliners. General Motors provided GEnx engines and a comprehensive maintenance plan for the fleet with their engines. The contract value was US$240 million.

These contracts were originally probably owned by Rolls-Royce, but at that time they were seeking to become the sole engine provider for Airbus A350XWB.This type of aircraft is a wide-body aircraft model designed by Airbus to compete with Boeing's 787 Dreamliner in the Chinese market.

No one wants to give up the most important market growth in the next few decades, and no one wants the other party to gain this market.

What's more, it is far easier to make money from the Chinese than to make money from major European and American airlines.

After entering the 21st century, China's economy has maintained the highest growth rate in the world. Moreover, China's real estate-based economic structure has created too many millionaires and multimillionaires, and there are also a lot of them. Billionaire.

These people have made the demand for travel services in China greater and more demanding...

Rolls-Royce is naturally unwilling to be dominated by GE in the Chinese market. It has increased its research efforts and made major concessions during negotiations. It has won two consecutive large orders in China: In August, China's HNA announced its order for Rolls-Royce production. The AE3007 engine is powered by the ERJ145 aircraft, and the number of engines exceeds one hundred, and Yororo provides comprehensive maintenance services for these engines. The order is worth more than 500 million US dollars; in October of the same year, Air China placed a new order For 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, Rolls-Royce’s Ruida 1000 engines were selected. Together with the comprehensive maintenance services for these engines, the total contract value exceeds 800 million US dollars!

The two sides are on this, it can be said that there is no victory or defeat.

After China has its own large aircraft project, regardless of that consideration, most of the aircraft of Chinese airlines will use aircraft that can be manufactured in China instead of those produced by Boeing or Airbus.

In this way, it is impossible for the Chinese who can't manufacture military aircraft engines even if they don't want to use their engines.

For such a thing, not only Yunfei they couldn't figure it out, but even Blacker couldn't figure it out.

The aero engine is known as the jewel in the crown of modern industry. It can be imagined how difficult it is to master the technology of manufacturing this.However, the Chinese started late, and did not invest too much money in this area. Their limited funds have been invested in the research of military aircraft engines.

Therefore, as we are about to enter the new century, many top companies in the world will regard the Chinese market as the largest source of profit growth in the next 30 years.

The same is true for Pratt & Whitney, but in just a few days, Blackell has just persuaded the major shareholders of the board of directors to prepare to gain the Chinese market in one fell swoop when GM uses their most common means to get the Chinese to accept their terms. He is even considering persuading the board of directors to export to the Chinese the PW6000 short-range aircraft engines that are undergoing ground testing, flight testing, and certification.

However, the board of directors was not even prepared to export the TF8D-200 engine to China because of pressure from Boeing.

"...Regional airliner, this is a project that the Chinese used to warm up before the large aircraft project. According to our reliable information, this aircraft has already been lying on the drawing. Once the engine is obtained, the Chinese will soon Start to produce prototypes. Once they verify that their design is okay, the Chinese will start the development of more difficult mainline airliners. Our eyes should be on this." Blackell has no vision for these wealthy shareholders. Feel very headache.

"The words Jon Carson used to persuade you are simply not credible. They have a very good relationship with the Chinese government, but they did not, as you have said, that this time the Chinese build their own large airplanes, not official Chinese investment. , But it is controlled by Yunfei, a young rich man who has emerged in China in recent years. This young man is very important to the independent production of various top equipment. By doing this, we force them to start building their own aircraft engines now!" Er's voice was very cold.

Although he was unhappy with these shareholders, his good professionalism forced him to patiently persuade these shareholders and the representatives of the Ministry of Defense who attended this very critical meeting.

"From the perspective of his development experience, it is not difficult for us to see that this young man has been on the road of independent research and development when he started to engage in CNC machine tools, and his success in recent years has led to a large part of China’s enterprises to become independent The path of innovation and independent research and development. China’s technology import from Europe and the United States has slowed down, and even Japan’s technology exports to China have been reduced a lot. All these are the chain reaction caused by the rise of this young man... …"

Blacker gritted his teeth and said, "It is inevitable for the Chinese to engage in engines. Now that they are short of funds, they will focus on the overall manufacturing of aircraft, which has a greater role in promoting the entire country's industrial system. Yun Fei wants to do so. The big aircraft is because Boeing and Airbus’s purchase prices for them are one-third higher than the market price..."

As Blacker's voice became smaller and smaller, the expressions of the attending Ministry of Defense officials and shareholders began to become serious.

These things are not that they did not think of it, but that they never thought that there would be such a crazy Chinese.

"The Chinese want to build aero engines? This is just a joke. When the British bass engine was introduced back then, hasn't it been done with the most basic domestic production?" An official from the Ministry of Defense said with a smile.

"Mr. Casewell, what you said is really not wrong. But that is a state-owned factory in China, and the young man we are facing now is more paranoid about technology than any Chinese! When Mr. Jon negotiated with him At that time, he said that he would spend fifty years on this project, and he didn’t care whether it made money! He once said in China that he would have to sell his own aircraft if he sold all the industries in his hands. Get it out! At present, the richest man in China is only 25 years old. After 50 years, he will be only 75 years old..."

When Blacker said these words, he made no secret of his appreciation for Yun Fei.

Only such a ruthless man can succeed, but unfortunately, he is not an American.If Yunfei were an American, he would have achieved far more success than in China...

Of course, this is just a guess, after all, the United States does not have as many opportunities as China.

"In order to engage in their own aircraft project, the young Chinese sold the most profitable project in his hands. Once it was really like what he said, he would have to do it himself and sell all the industries in his hands. China, he will raise more than 10 billion U.S. dollars of funds. These funds may not be able to produce the most advanced aircraft and supporting engines, but they can definitely make the entire Chinese industrial system develop beyond our imagination. The extent of..." Blacker's words were like a hammer, hammering hard in the hearts of the officials of the Ministry of Defense.

The least willing to see the rise of the Chinese is the US Department of Defense.
