The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 372 Boeing's second hand preparation

"Hello, Mr. Hu, we come to your company this time with the utmost sincerity. Mr. David came here from Los Angeles overnight just to discuss with you in person."

Hu glanced at David with a strange smile on his face:

"Oh? Then what does Mr. David want to talk to us about?"

"Of course it's your 'Tongtian Satellite Aircraft Communication System'."

Although David was upset about waiting for so long, he still knew in his heart that the most important thing to come to Yan Country this time was to reach a cooperation with Phoenix Group.

He sat up straight, stared at Hu Lai, and forced a smile on his face:
"Mr. Hu, I made a special trip here this time because I hope to reach a cooperation with your company on the 'aircraft communication system', just like your company recently provided services to Airbus."

"Ha ha."

Hu Lai smiled softly, and looked at David.

When the two looked at each other, Hu Lai shook his head slightly, and said apologetically:

"Sorry, Mr. Davy."

"We have recently signed cooperation agreements with many aircraft manufacturers, Airbus Group, Bombardier, Embraer, COMAC..."

"Honestly speaking, we only have so much satellite communication bandwidth. If we add more customers, it will obviously exceed the load of our satellite communication network and bring bad user experience to our existing customers."

"so……"

At the end, Hu Lai shrugged helplessly, apparently declining to cooperate with Boeing.

No one was surprised by Hu Lai's refusal. Everyone knew that the relationship between Phoenix Group and Ami officials was not very good.

Now that Boeing is begging the Phoenix Group, it will definitely be deliberately made things difficult by the Phoenix Group, and it will definitely not work without some blood.

Mr. Davey had also expected it.

In his eyes, Hu Lai's refusal to cooperate is nothing more than retreating and wanting to raise prices. There is only one reason for a commercial company not to cooperate, and that is that the price offered is not enough.

"Mr. Hu, don't rush to refuse."

David narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:

"I know there is some misunderstanding between your company and our Aramco officials, but this does not affect our cooperation."

"As a show of good faith, we can place a one-time order for 1000 aircraft services, and..."

"We know that the service price provided by your company, Airbus Group, and Gulfstream Group is US$80 per aircraft per year. As long as your company is willing to provide services to us, we can pay US$90 per year in terms of price. "

Having said that, David paused for a moment, then his tone became heavier, and he said slowly:

"Mr. Hu, you should also know that our Boeing aircraft is the largest in the global market, and you will definitely not suffer from follow-up orders!"

"So, Mr. Hu, please think about it carefully!"

Sign a purchase service order for [-] aircraft at one time?

Raising the price of each plane to $90 a year? !

Good guy, this shot is indeed more generous than Airbus.

You must know that the Phoenix Group’s external quotation is only 80 US dollars a year. Not only did Boeing not lower the price, but it also took the initiative to raise the price. Once the price was raised, it directly increased by more than 10%!

Such customers are the best customers in the hearts of all suppliers! …

Hu Lai was also taken aback.

Don't look at David looking angry, but his body is still very honest, and he showed great sincerity to the Phoenix Group as soon as he came up, which made people feel moved.

but……

After a while, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and habitually picked up his teacup and took a sip.

When the tea cup was placed firmly on the table, he reached out to David and made a "two" gesture.

"$120 million a year per plane."

"..."

After the words fell, everyone present frowned immediately. They didn't expect the boss of Phoenix Group to have such a big appetite.

120 million US dollars is 50% higher than the Phoenix Group's external quotation!

The corner of David's mouth twitched slightly, shaking his head:

"A million dollars a year."

Hu Lai: "150 million dollars a year."

David: "$120 million a year."

Hu Lai: "170 million dollars a year."

David: "???"

Everyone: "???"

Everyone present was silent, why is there such a bargain?It's obviously just sitting on the ground and raising prices to grab money!
David grimaced.

"Mr. Hu, I don't feel any sincerity from your side. If you continue to do this, then..."

"Then what?"

Hu Lai interrupted David directly, and said indifferently:

"Now our service is at this price. If you wait any longer, I will immediately raise it to 200 million US dollars a year. Buy it or not!"

"I've told you just now that the bandwidth of our 'Tongtian Satellite Aircraft Communication System' is approaching saturation, so I understand that you are the ones begging to cooperate with us now."

David was speechless for a moment, and even all the Boeing personnel in the living room fell silent again.

Listen to what this is saying!

Boeing seeks cooperation from Phoenix Group!

David was really angry and aggrieved. As the world's top 500 company, the world's most powerful aircraft manufacturer, and the son of NASA, when did the CEO of Boeing Group fall into such a disadvantage?

When did you get so humiliated by your supplier?

It's just groveling!

The assistant on the side glanced at David worriedly, and reminded in a low voice:

"Boss..."

"call……!"

Taking a few deep breaths, David's eyes fell on Hu Lai again. He didn't expect that the young-looking boss of Phoenix Group would be so greedy!

But at this time, he also knew the situation Boeing was facing. If the talks with the Phoenix Group really collapsed, major airlines around the world would continue to put pressure on Boeing, and orders for new aircraft would definitely be greatly affected.

And this effect will become larger and larger as more and more "high-speed-WIFI" aircraft appear.

Airbus has it, Boeing doesn't, so what's going on? !

Once Boeing and Phoenix Group successfully cooperate, all difficulties will be solved, Boeing's stock price will also rise accordingly, and even the performance may also usher in good news!
Compared with so many benefits, it is not unacceptable for an aircraft to cost $170 million a year!
After a brief silence, David chose to compromise.

"Mr. Hu, 170 million dollars per plane is 170 million dollars. I only hope that your company can fulfill its promise and give us priority in providing services..."

"Sorry, Mr. David, your time to think about it has passed!"

“The current price is $300 million a year!”…

David's eyes suddenly became gloomy and cold, staring at Hu Lai.

Even if he was a fool, he realized that Hu Lai had no interest in cooperating with them at all!
"Are you kidding me?!"

Hu Lai looked at David with relaxed eyes, but did not answer.

After a few seconds, unexpectedly, the angry David calmed down instead.

"Mr. Hu, do you really have nothing to talk about?"

"What do you think?"

"Let me take the liberty to ask, are you deliberately targeting us at Boeing?"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, Hu Lai laughed out loud.

After a while, he glanced around the crowd present, and finally landed on David, and said in a low tone:
"against?"

"Then I would like to ask, is your Federal Aviation Administration targeting COMAC's C919 aircraft? Is your Ministry of Commerce targeting our Yanguo company?"

"Since you choose to block our Yan country's enterprise, why do you expect me to cooperate with you? Why can't I block your throat? Let you taste the feeling of being stuck!"

"On weekdays, you always think that your technology is so powerful, so good. You can prove that you can also produce 'cloud black box' and 'high-speed WIFI'. Our Phoenix Group is really not afraid of competition, and you are welcome to continue to use it. neck!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present knew that the cooperation with the Phoenix Group was completely dead.

David's face turned cold instantly.

"Mr. Hu, I admit that several of your technologies are indeed temporarily leading, but don't be too happy. Your Phoenix Group is not the only company in the field of satellite communications. I believe it will not be long before the technologies you are proud of will be Completely overtaken!"

"You rejecting our cooperation today is definitely the stupidest decision in your life, and you will regret it sooner or later!"

David looked at Hu Lai coldly, and his heart was burning with anger. Hu Lai's arrogant and condescending attitude made him extremely unhappy!

What does it mean to hold Capone's neck? !

It is simply too arrogant, too ignorant, too arrogant!

One day, he must let Hu Lai know how stupid his words are, and Hu Lai will definitely regret it!

Hu Lai dismissed David's threat, and said two words lightly:

"see a visitor out."

……

No one thought that Boeing and his party would collapse so soon.

As soon as he got in the car to the airport, the assistant reminded him with some concern:
"Boss, what should we do next?"

"Phoenix Group rejected our order cooperation, and then we will have a clear competitiveness gap with Airbus."

"It's hard to imagine that if this news is announced, our stock price will definitely fluctuate violently, and Wall Street capital will definitely put more pressure on us."

David, who was sitting in the back of the car, had completely expressed his anger at this time, his face extremely gloomy.

Crazy, so crazy!
He has been the CEO of Boeing for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen a business owner brazenly say that he wants to pinch Boeing's neck!

Correct!
Just unscrupulous!

Do you really consider yourself a character?

If it weren't for the 737MAX accident that delayed Boeing a few years ago, with Boeing's background and reputation, even if it joins forces with Airbus, Boeing would not be afraid at all! …

How can there be a time when your Phoenix Group is so rampant? !

What a villain!

"call……"

David took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

The current situation has become extremely bad. As the assistant said, Boeing is not only facing pressure from all airlines in the world, but also the pressure of new orders and the pressure of the Wall Street consortium brought about by the stock market decline!
Now the Phoenix Group can't go this way. If they want to fight back, they must find a way to solve the "aircraft communication system" function. At least the "high-speed WIFI" must be solved as soon as possible!

but……

How can we quickly solve the "aircraft high-speed WIFI" function?

Now Boeing uses all the satellite communications provided by the "Maritime Satellite Telephone System".

Because of the use of "stationary orbit satellites" more than 3 kilometers away from the earth, the satellite communication WIFI provided by the "maritime satellite telephone system" can only be said to be okay for chatting, and the real high-speed surfing provided by the Phoenix Group, which can scan A network capable of meetings is a completely different matter.

At present, the only thing that can compete with Phoenix Group's "Tongtian Satellite" is Mask's Starlink project!

However, Phoenix Group's "Tongtian Satellite" can be applied to aircraft WIFI one step ahead. Obviously, the "Starlink Project" has encountered some technical problems.

Thinking of this, David's eyes became sharp.

In any case, the "aircraft high-speed-WIFI" function must be realized as soon as possible. Mask's "Starlink Project" has technical problems, so try your best to help Starlink satellites solve the problem!
Other than that!

David's eyes were fierce. Since the Phoenix Group wanted to choke Boeing's neck and cause Boeing to suffer heavy losses, then don't even think about the C919 that Yanguo regards as a treasure, and don't even think about obtaining a North American airworthiness certificate for the rest of your life!
Moreover, their C919 engine and other important parts are also imported from Aramco. If Mask's "Starlink satellite" really cannot realize the high-speed WIFI of the aircraft, then they can use the C919 engine to threaten Yanguo officials and ask Yanguo officials to come forward and let Phoenix The group provides services to Boeing!

Yes, that's how you get ready!

David's heart suddenly brightened.

On the one hand, contact Mask quickly to let their "Starlink Project" provide high-speed WIFI services for Boeing aircraft.

At the same time, we should also quickly contact the company that provided the engine for the C919. If I remember correctly, it should be provided by General Electric.

"Contact Mask immediately and ask them when they can let the 'Starlink Satellite' provide us with high-speed WIFI for aircraft. If possible, we will provide them with an order of thousands of aircraft!"

"Also, you should immediately contact the CEO of General Electric to make an appointment. In three days, I will meet with their CEO in person!"

"General Electric CEO?!"

The assistant was taken aback.

"Yes, it is General Electric, which provides engines for Yanguo C919, please contact us quickly."

"Yes!"

Ha ha.

David laughed, and if he wants Capo's neck, then put some pressure on C919 and let you Yanguo officials personally put pressure on you!

At that time, let alone 170 million US dollars, I will only pay 50 US dollars at most!
Phoenix Group, I see you will not give in!

……

Phoenix Group Headquarters.

After ending the meeting that was destined to be fruitless, Hu Lai began to care about the situation of the satellite department.

Now that the "Tongtian Satellite Aircraft Communication System" is officially launched on the market, it can be regarded as finding a good commercialization path for "Tongtian Satellite".

The originally planned satellite launch cycle had to be accelerated due to the sudden commercialization process, and one after another Tongtian satellites continued to be launched into the sky.

Under the intensive launch mission, the cost of the Tongtian satellite was once again placed in the position of Hu Lai's greatest concern.

The manufacturing cost of "Tongtian satellite" has been reduced from 23 billion to about 18 billion after large-scale industrial production. It is impossible to reduce the cost of satellites in a short time.

After a heated discussion, the engineers in the satellite department agreed that the only cost savings left was the launch cost.

Once the current rocket can only launch one sky-reaching satellite, and it can be upgraded to two satellites with one arrow or three satellites with one arrow, then the launch cost of each satellite will be reduced by 2-3 million in a straight line.

But obviously, in the face of a 7-ton "Tongtian satellite", if you want to achieve double or triple star with one arrow, the thrust of the rocket must be doubled or tripled at least.

The increase in the thrust of the rocket will inevitably require a more powerful thrust engine, and the heavy and high-thrust rocket engine happens to be the weakness of the rocket industry in Yan Kingdom.

In this technology, Yankee is well-deserved number one.
