Intelligent Industrial Empire

Only export to the Chinese, and Chinese people who are afraid of trouble will not engage in independent research and development.

All people know this truth, but not many people can do it.It's not that these people don't want to make money from China's domestic market, but the ability of the Chinese to copycat is too strong.Many things, once in the hands of the Chinese, it won’t be long before the Chinese themselves come up with it...

"Aircraft is not ordinary equipment. It can be manufactured by the entire national industrial system. Although the Chinese have a complete industrial system, they have been unable to invest more money in this because of their system problems. Independent research and development. But now the situation is different. It is not their country that China wants to build a large aircraft, but the private investors..." Enfite sees these things more clearly than anyone.

The more you stop the Chinese, the more likely it is for Chinese talents to engage in research and development of these technologies.

The Chinese are the smartest people in the world, but they are also the most troublesome people in the world.Perhaps it is their nature, so when there is no external pressure, most of the energy of the Chinese is on internal fighting.

"It is true. This time, we only banned the export of engines to China Xianglong Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Company. In order to prevent the Chinese from engaging in this project by themselves, I submitted to our group company a joint venture to establish a joint venture for the Chinese market. A joint venture company to cooperate with the Chinese government to produce the large passenger planes they need..." Jon's words surprised Enfitt.

No wonder the company's board of directors sent the company's vice president Portia Karente to come here when it sent itself to the United States.

Although the two sides compete fiercely, their interests in China are absolutely the same.

"Will the Chinese agree to this cooperation plan?" Enfitt smiled in just an instant. In this smile, the ridicule was even stronger.

After all, civil aviation airliners are not top-level strategic equipment. Although airplanes are also very important to modern national defense and security, transport aircraft are not bombers after all.But there are many technologies that are universal.

If China is able to produce large passenger planes, it will be able to produce strategic bombers through these technologies.

The Chinese will never stupidly decide to agree to their cooperation plan. This plan is nothing more than wishful thinking of the Americans.

At the beginning, they were fooled by the Americans. From China’s reform and opening up in the 1980s to the present, the Chinese have paid tens of billions of dollars to purchase foreign civil aviation airliners, but they can only assemble McDonnell Douglas aircraft. It can produce some parts of Boeing aircraft such as tail and fairing.

Now is the critical period for the change of power of the Chinese government. Can those people with unstable status in their country have the courage to do this for personal benefit?

"If they don't cooperate, can they have airplanes to use? The Chinese have always wanted to take the path of introducing technology, then making them domestically, and finally innovating independently. After all, for them, this is the most cost-saving thing..." Jon I believe that the Chinese will definitely cooperate with them.

Before that, he had also contacted some Chinese officials. These officials did not want their young private boss to engage in this project. Jon knew it very well.

What's more, the independent research and development of this area, tens of billions of dollars into it, may not be able to see a splash.

Enfitt disagrees with Jon's confidence.He is a French, and their most powerful emperor Napoleon once said that China is a sleeping lion. Once she wakes up, the whole world will tremble.

Because of Boeing's manipulation of the Chinese market, the Chinese have now launched their own large aircraft project.The 80,000-ton large press used for this project is the most stressed super heavy equipment on the planet!

As long as the Chinese have carried out a lot of publicity, there will often be no results in the end.

However, this time the Chinese were engaged in the 80,000-ton large press project without any publicity at all, which shows that the Chinese people care about this project far more than outsiders imagine.More importantly, this project is not led by the Chinese government, but is jointly developed by China's Jiuyi Heavy Industry and China Second Heavy Industry Group and China Northern Heavy Industry Group.

In this regard, the Jiuyi Heavy Industry Group, which has never had much technology, paid the money, and China's two huge heavy industry groups provided technology and production strength.

This project is a supporting project for China's large aircraft project.

The private owner of Yun Fei has already started this project. Although the Chinese government does not have strong support, there are two huge state-owned factories involved in this matter. Naturally, it is not a joke...

"The Chinese would never agree to such a request for cooperation. Moreover, we have to hold the controlling shares. They only occupy a small part of the equity. When it comes to McDonnell Douglas, the Chinese are already deeply wary..." For Boeing’s proposal, Airbus felt unreliable.

However, the huge market opportunities contained therein still make Airbus very jealous.

For a long time, Boeing has laid various foundations because of McDonnell Douglas in China for ten years. Most of the Chinese market is controlled by Boeing.This time, Boeing proposed to split the market profit equally.

This has to make Airbus, which has a small market share in China, tempted.

But Portia has a lot of views on this approach.The Chinese are not fools, and it is impossible to be fooled by the Americans once and be fooled a second time.Especially at this time the Chinese themselves have already started the research on the large aircraft project.

Costello shook his head, "Their government has no intention to engage in this project that requires continuous investment. After all, they have no foundation. Everything has to start from the most basic place..."

"Didn't they ever engage in large airplanes? And they have been producing and assembling McDonnell Douglas large airplanes over the years. It won't require much investment, right?" Portia didn't know much about the situation in China. It is believed that the Chinese have these basic production capabilities.

After all, the Chinese Yun-ten project was developed at the same time as their A300. The A300 cost more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, while the Chinese Yun-ten project took more than 150 hours. The total cost of the flight test was less than 600 million soft sister coins.

How did the Chinese come up with this project with such a small amount of research funding? No one knows except the Chinese themselves.

If it can control costs like the Chinese do, Airbus' profits can definitely be doubled.As a result, more research and development funds will be invested in the research of new aircraft, and it is not difficult to surpass Boeing in the field of civil aviation passenger aircraft.

"Assembling a McDonnell Douglas aircraft can represent a production capacity? Can the various tests required for a newly developed aircraft be consistent with the equipment and testing equipment required for assembling a finished aircraft?" Costello said with a smile.

McDonnell Douglas' plan that year was completely successful.

At least, most of the various test workshops established by the Chinese were abandoned, and most of the parts of the two Yunshi aircraft stocked in the Shanghai Aircraft Factory were used by McDonnell Douglas technicians to train China. Of the workers have practiced riveting techniques with rivet guns.

If China wants to build a large aircraft again, most of the equipment will have to be upgraded and many experimental workshops will have to restart design and production.

After all, many of the equipment at the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Plant were designed in the 1970s, and they simply cannot adapt to modern aircraft manufacturing and testing.

"Portia, this matter is completely in our interests. In the Chinese market, our interests are equally divided. The market outside China still depends on the choice of the market..." Costello very much hopes to promote this cooperation.

This plan was planned by Jon Carson to prevent Boeing from gaining a larger market share in the Chinese market.

Boeing is involved in too many businesses. Although it is the world's number one aircraft manufacturer, it is far from a professional company like Airbus, which is only engaged in civil aviation aircraft, and can devote all resources to the research of new aircraft. .

Regarding Costello's suggestion, Portia did not comment.

"Enfit, what do you think of this matter?" As for Enfit's ability, the entire Airbus company is obvious to all. Airbus has grabbed a lot of orders from Boeing in the past few years, not only their technology is excellent. , More because of the efforts of the business department.

No matter how good a product is, it needs to be sold before it can be called a commodity.

The aircraft of Boeing and Airbus are basically equal in terms of technology, and market competition is often due to all aspects of strength, not just because of technology.

Over the years, Boeing has been increasing its research on the Chinese market. Once the Chinese market is opened, it is likely to gain more market share than Boeing.

"We withdrew from the Chinese market in the first two years. Although it has a lot to do with international relations, it was mainly because of Boeing. If we cooperate with them, let us not say whether China will accept the cooperation agreement under the pressure of both of us, but It is us who suffer the most. In the European and American markets, the competition between our two parties is becoming more and more fierce. Whoever can gain more access to the Chinese market will be able to get more research funding..." Enfeit is not optimistic about this cooperation .

"Moreover, even if the Chinese develop large aircraft projects by themselves, it will take at least ten years from the initiation of the project to the aircraft entering the market through various tests. Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for the Chinese to obtain production of 300 seats within these ten years. The capabilities of the above-mentioned passenger aircraft, this is our market opportunity..." Enfite said very clearly.
