Intelligent Industrial Empire

"Do you mean that we are not involved in Boeing's suppression of the Chinese?" Portia looked at the general manager of the marketing department with a puzzled face, which was not in their interests.

Even if the Chinese can produce regional jets by themselves, even if they can only produce regional jets, it will have a great impact on their interests.

This is not only not their market opportunity, but will make them lose their regional aircraft business in the Chinese market.At present, what China lacks the most is not only the mainline passenger planes, but the demand for regional planes is even greater. There is basically no market for the Yun-6 regional passenger planes produced in China.

After all, the transportation capacity of Yun Liu is too poor. Not only does it transport too many goods at one time, but it also cannot carry too many passengers in the future.

"Yes, not only can we not suppress the Chinese, we have to support their project." Enfield said seriously."Especially the Chinese Yun Fei who uses his own assets to build large aircraft projects for his country. Even if he becomes our competitor, we should have a good relationship with him..."

"Why is this? What Costello said is not unreasonable. Once they reach a cooperation agreement with the Chinese government, this young man's money is basically lost..." Regarding Enfield's opinion, Portia appeared More puzzled."What's more, our major shareholders are the governments of several major European countries, Britain, France, and Germany. The relationship with the Chinese government is not very good."

Airbus unilaterally tore up the cooperation agreement with the Chinese, and the authorization to assemble their aircraft in China was terminated at the beginning. Although this is the operation of the Boeing team, it is related to the relationship between these countries and the Chinese government. There are big reasons for the bad.

A major background for Airbus tearing up the contract is that the Chinese island that was leased by the British for a hundred years was taken back by the Chinese in 1997!

"Between countries, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. The Americans have become stronger and stronger in recent years, and European countries will soon change their relations with the Chinese government. China is joining the WTO in bilateral negotiations with European countries. Making great progress can explain the problem. Now, the most active one to prevent China from joining the World Trade Organization is the United States. Europe needs cheap Chinese goods, and the United States also needs..." Enfite knew that he had to convince the board to accept his opinion. , First of all have to convince Portia.

As long as Portia disagrees with the American proposal, he will help himself persuade the board of directors.

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the relationship between countries? Moreover, in the American proposal, although we are more disadvantaged, as they said, we can avoid letting the Chinese take advantage of the fierce competition in China... "Portia was completely confused.

"Before Yunfei started the large aircraft project, the old Chinese man who scared the world personally wrote an article for him. Do you think the Chinese government will not support it? Moreover, the design team had already started operations before their project started. Human aircraft designers are all controlled by the state, but this young man formed a design team of more than two hundred people in a very short period of time. The chief designer is the Yunshi who had already announced the death of China a few years ago. Project chief designer Ma Fengshan, Mr. Portia, do these still not explain the problem?" Enfitt smiled.

The high level of China's attention to this matter will definitely not be what it is publicized.

Hearing Enfeite's in-depth analysis of this issue, Portia immediately felt that his jaw could no longer be closed: "Isn't there a lot of people in the Chinese government that are holding him back? How could he support it!" This matter, he I can't believe it.

When negotiating the equity issue of the large aircraft project, Yunfei had a very unpleasant quarrel with the SASAC and the Shanghai Municipal Government. This can be found out with a little thought.

The Chinese are not monolithic. What's more, many of them have no vision, and they can buy it off with a little bit of benefit.After all, in China, the cost of official crimes is too low, even if they are found, they will not be punished too severely.

The guys who were kicked out of the official ranks were just because they offended people.

"The Chinese people are not the officials of the local government. And it is very likely that the Chinese themselves are acting. In the face of the Chinese people, it is impossible to publish these scandals unless they are stabbed. Come out. But this time, a young private boss rode on top of their most powerful department in the country, and the Chinese took the initiative to disclose their scandal to the world! This is completely inconsistent with the Chinese style of work!" Fett's face was filled with a smile.

These Chinese people always like to play such tricks.

Do they treat everyone in the world as fools?

"What is their purpose for doing this? It doesn't seem to be in their interest..."

"This is something I have always been unable to figure out. But now I have figured it out. The Chinese did not conduct regular bidding for regional aircraft engines, but directly chose to talk to GM. When GM ignored them, they They went to the Pratt & Whitney Engine Company, who took the initiative to contact them. When the people at GM told them they were ready to cooperate with them, they put aside the ongoing negotiations with Pratt & Whitney and returned to Fairfield again!" It’s not too early to know about these news, and the inside story of the negotiations is not too clear. “The Chinese’s goal is General Motors’ TF34 engine, which is a regional airliner engine with dual airworthiness licenses from the United States and Europe. ."

"What you mean is that the Chinese were already staring at the world market before the aircraft samples were produced? Is this possible? How many countries in the world would believe their manufacturing technology? It is okay for the Chinese to produce some light industrial products. But to produce these advanced technology and equipment, it is simply impossible..." Like all people who look down on China's cutting-edge manufacturing industry, Portia does not believe that the Chinese dare to enter the world market in these top manufacturing fields. "Moreover, in this way , They have a greater chance of becoming our competitors..."

"The Chinese have the cheapest manufacturing costs in the world. We invested billions of dollars in the A300 aircraft to produce prototypes. Before that, the Chinese could only produce ten-ton small aircraft. We succeeded At the same time, they also succeeded, and they only spent less than 200 million dollars!" Enfitt's words immediately silenced Portia.

The Chinese are horribly low in cost.

This is something the whole world cannot learn.At the same time, the Chinese are also horrendous in the waste of research funds, but they are able to develop some new technologies at the lowest cost in the world.

Cost is the most important core competitiveness of this era.

Once the Chinese have developed a regional passenger plane and put it into market operation, even if their technology is not very good, as long as the safety of the plane is high, they will still get a lot of orders.The operating cost of airlines is basically the highest in the world.

In regions such as Africa, South America, Central Asia, and West Asia, buying an aircraft is not about whose aircraft performance is better, but whose aircraft is more cost-effective.Not all countries are as rich as European and American countries.

Portia could not refute Enfitt's words.

Boeing has absolutely no peace of mind in the Chinese market, and now is the most obvious example.

What's more, the two companies are competitors, and it is impossible to tell each other about the core technology of any aircraft model. Jon Carson proposed to establish a joint venture factory in China, and both parties jointly developed technology to establish a new aircraft manufacturing plant. Obviously, it was a proposal that contained evil intentions.

For such a thing, Portia cannot help but be cautious.

With a little carelessness, his idea of ​​becoming the next chairman of Airbus's board of directors would have to fall through.

However, supporting the Chinese people in the aircraft industry at this time is not something people like him can do.This is all about finding awkward behavior for herself, Portia can't do it anyway.Therefore, it is impossible for him to agree to Enfitt's proposal to support the Chinese people in making large airplanes.

Although having a good relationship with the Chinese can get them a lot of orders for mainline airliners, Portia really has no guts to propose to their board of directors.

However, Portia would never have imagined that Enfitt dared to write an email to the board specifically for this matter.

The only largest cooperation negotiation between Boeing and Airbus ended in failure, which is completely good news for Yun Fei and others.

"Yun Fei, the negotiation between Boeing and Airbus broke down. This is good news for us. Why are you still so depressed?" Wang Zixin really didn't understand what Yun Fei was thinking.

After knowing such good news, not only was there no joy, but a sad look on his face.

"What good news is this for us? Could it be that their cooperation negotiations broke down, and the Boeing people would not suppress us? Look at the strong aviation industry foundation of Ukraine, which hasn’t been able to achieve anything up to now, you know. How severe they suppressed competitors..." Yun Fei sighed.

Women have long hair and short knowledge.

It is impossible for Wang Zixin to think of the crises contained in these things.

Maybe she was just instinctively happy.
