Mr. Yu of the COMAC Group never dreamed that there would be a wave of orders before the official delivery of the c919.

Airbus A320 aircraft orders are relatively large, and short-term orders have increased a lot due to the recent high-speed wifi, resulting in the current delivery cycle of Airbus A320 has been greatly lengthened.

This, on the contrary, is cheaper than c919.

The c919 has obtained the European airworthiness certificate, and the delivery cycle is much shorter than that of the a320. It also has the "Tongtian Satellite Aircraft Communication System" provided by the Phoenix Group. In addition, the price of the c919 is 320 million dollars cheaper than the Airbus a1500. , the price/performance ratio can be said to be directly full.

In contrast, many European airlines and leasing companies showed strong interest in C919 for the first time.

finally.

After intense discussions, "Lufthansa", the top European airline, took the lead in reaching cooperation with COMAC and placed an order for five C919s!

Immediately afterwards, Air Serbia, Turkish Airlines and other airlines placed orders for c919 one after another, completely igniting overseas orders for c919.

At the same time, domestic competition for the five "off-the-shelf aircraft" to be delivered is also fierce.

The five c919s that were originally scheduled to be delivered to China Eastern Airlines were abruptly "killed" by Sichuan Airlines halfway, and "forced" China Eastern Airlines to transfer two orders with tears in their eyes by increasing the price of each aircraft by 600 million.

Two of the remaining three were given priority to "Lufthansa" in the name of "opening up overseas markets".

In the end, the first batch of five sorties, one of China Eastern Airlines, two of Sichuan Airlines, and two of German "Lufthansa"!
Under such a good situation, how can Mr. Yu feel unhappy.

Soon, President Yu's joy was conveyed to the top management, and Chief Li, who was in charge of economic activities, also got the news that c919 had opened overseas orders.

Three days later, Chief Li personally came to the headquarters of COMAC in Shanghai.

"Director Li, in the past few days, we have reached purchase orders with six overseas airlines and two overseas aircraft leasing companies, with a total of more than [-] orders."

"In addition, there are more than ten overseas airlines who are negotiating orders with us. As long as we can guarantee the delivery cycle, it will not be a problem to win their purchase orders!"

In the conference room, Mr. Yu reported to Mr. Li the remarkable achievements he had made in the past few days with a bright face, and all the executives present were also excited.

Chief Li laughed heartily when he heard it. No one expected that when c919 was about to be delivered, it would rely on the help of Phoenix Group to achieve such an impressive result in overseas orders!

You must know that the first step is the most difficult. It is like tearing a hole in a monopolized market and letting c919 get in. He believes that once c919 shows a level not inferior to Airbus and Boeing in overseas airlines, c919 will Stand firm in the market!

"You still have to thank the Phoenix Group, this time they helped your COMAC Group a lot!"

Chief Li smiled and sighed, and then said:

"The European airworthiness certificate of c919 was promoted by Phoenix Group, and it was also actively deployed by Phoenix Group for Boeing aircraft."

"If Phoenix Group didn't specifically target Boeing aircraft this time, I don't think our c919's overseas situation will change so much! They are helping COMAC at the expense of their own interests!"

"It's really amazing!"

Yes!

Following Chief Li's emotion, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became more dignified, and everyone kept nodding.

This is true.

At first, they thought that Phoenix Group rejected COMAC's request to monopolize the "Tongtian Satellite Aircraft Communication System" for the sake of money, but only now did they find out that Phoenix Group played a big game quietly and silently helped COMAC.

Taking a closer look, Phoenix Group's operation not only solved the problem of the European airworthiness certificate, but also really allowed the c919 to go overseas, and the effect achieved was better than the exclusive function of the c919.

The only fly in the ointment, as Chief Li said, is that the Phoenix Group has lost its own interests.

Why!It's really boundless love and self-sacrifice for others!

"Indeed, our COMAC Group really owes Phoenix Group a big favor this time."

"I misunderstood the Phoenix Group! With their strength, they could have been a global aircraft service provider in peace and security, earning money from several aircraft manufacturers with peace of mind. I didn't expect... Oh, really, I cried to death !"

"I was wrong too. I also thought that the Phoenix Group was a company that only valued profits. It was because I didn't have enough structure to measure the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I was wrong. It was outrageously wrong!"

"I have to say that he is indeed Mr. Hu. This kind of pattern and mind are convincing!"

Self-reproach gradually arose in the meeting room. Previously, everyone had indeed complained about the Phoenix Group, but at this time, the real best result was in front of everyone's eyes, so they realized how superficial they were before!
It's wrong to blame the Phoenix Group!

After a while, seeing that everyone's discussion gradually subsided, Mr. Yu who presided over the meeting suddenly stood up and looked at Chief Li.

"Director Li, the Phoenix Group really helped us COMAC a lot this time!"

"Exactly half a month later, we have a delivery ceremony for c919. We hope to invite Mr. Hu Lai of the Phoenix Group as a special guest. Look...?"

Special Guest?

Chief Li agreed without even thinking about it.

"There is no problem at all. Mr. Hu Lai Hu is fully qualified to participate in the delivery ceremony of c919."

"Qinghua (Mr. Yu), you can arrange it!"

Speaking of this, Chief Li suddenly became concerned about the delivery ceremony of c919.

As the leader in charge of the economy, he will attend the event as the top leader on the day the c919 is officially delivered.

He looked at Mr. Yu curiously:
"By the way, speaking of which, have all the guests you invited to this event been arranged? What's the situation at home and abroad?"

Mr. Yu didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly said:
"The domestic itinerary has been confirmed. The bosses of major airlines and the leaders of the Civil Aviation Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Director Wang will all be present at the scene."

"Overseas, we have sent invitation letters to major European airlines. Some airlines have replied to confirm that they will participate, but some have not responded accurately. In addition, a small number of airlines have clearly refused and will not attend."

Chief Li nodded slightly, as long as some overseas airlines participated, the goal would be achieved.

Now that c919 has won a lot of overseas orders, it will not be deserted when it comes to overseas airlines.

President Yu went on to say:

"In addition, we also specially invited the Airbus Group to participate."

"Airbus and they finally agreed to send their vice president Pierce to be there in person."

Pierce!
When Chief Li heard Pierce's name, his eyes froze for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded very satisfied.

He knew Pierce.

As the vice president of Airbus Group, he is responsible for the most important external business of Airbus Group. He can be said to be the third most powerful person in Airbus Group.

Being able to invite such a competitor to participate on the important day of the first delivery of c919 is enough to prove that COMAC has already had a certain influence in the civil aviation industry.

"Qinghua, you have done a good job this time, and the guests you invited are all important!"

"However, you must pay attention to the logistics. Try to estimate the number of visiting guests as much as possible, and the logistics and catering guarantee must also be in place!"

"This is the first time c919 has appeared, and we will do our best to be a landlord. By the way, we can sign more orders if we improve the details!"

Let's go and give it a try. 】

"Yes, yes, yes... Don't worry, Chief, I have arranged all these."

"After witnessing the delivery of the first c919 at the airport, we will move to the indoor exhibition center, where we can display our c919 in more detail; at the same time, Chinese food and exchange meetings have been properly arranged, and we have also made optimistic estimates for the visiting guests. No problem!"

"Okay, that's good!"

Chief Li felt relieved, he also believed that Mr. Yu would not make mistakes in this kind of matter.

After this matter is finished, the prelude to this meeting will finally come to an end.

He was not in a hurry to speak, instead he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and then coughed lightly after the warm water entered his throat.

The meeting room suddenly fell silent. At this moment, Chief Li glanced at everyone, and said softly:
"Just now I saw that everyone was happy, but I didn't want to spoil everyone's happiness."

"However, I came to our COMAC headquarters in person today and brought a bad news that I have to say."

After a slight pause, Chief Li's voice softened a bit.

"According to our internal information, Boeing is now in frequent contact with General Electric. We analyze that Boeing is very likely to use General Electric to put some pressure on us on the engine."

"Although Boeing may not be able to succeed, we have suffered many losses in this kind of neck-stuck thing, and we have to prepare for the worst."

As soon as the high-level officials present heard what Chief Li said in person, the joy that could not be concealed on their faces was immediately diluted.

General Electric is the engine supplier of c919.

Due to the long-term backwardness in the field of civil aviation engines, the C919 had to adopt the fully imported General Electric Leap-1c engine.

In other words, once General Electric has the slightest idea, the production order of c919 will run into trouble.

This kind of thing can't be said that Chief Li is worrying too much, but the people of Yan Kingdom have really seen too much in these years!

But, this involves the issue of localization!

Not only the engine, but also many parts of the c919 are purchased from abroad. Not to mention that many key parts are blocked by foreign countries, if there is a shortage of production capacity, it will have a great impact on the order of the c919.

However, this is not possible.

There was a hint of worry on everyone's faces, and Chief Li continued:

"Our c919 felt the pressure from General Electric at the beginning of delivery. I think it's a good thing!"

"The situation of our commercial aircraft is completely different from that of Boeing and Airbus. We don't have a natural western market like them, and we don't have the risk of being cut off from their supply chain at all."

"So, I hope that in terms of supply chain and localization rate, we can't relax from the beginning."

"This time the Phoenix Group's 'Tongtian Satellite Aircraft Communication System' let us see the magic of the Phoenix Group again, so nah."

At this point, Chief Li paused and looked at everyone.

"I have an idea this time. I want our COMAC Group to invite the Phoenix Group to take control and make the Phoenix Group a strategic investor of COMAC!"

"At that time, for example, we can ask Phoenix Group for help with our engine. As long as they can fix the engine, what if COMAC gives Phoenix Group 50% or 60% of the shares? It's better than giving the money to General Electric. OK, right?!"

As soon as the words fell, the conference room fell silent!

After a few seconds, everyone reacted.

"what?!"

"Director Li, you, do you want Phoenix Group to...hold and hold COMAC?!"

"Phoenix Group has become a strategic investor of COMAC?!"

"This……"

"Isn't this too much of a joke?"

Everyone was shocked, their expressions were unbelievable!

We must know that COMAC is a key enterprise specially supported by the state for the large aircraft strategy and the upgrading of the high-end industrial chain!
This is not an ordinary automobile company or electronics company, but a real high-end manufacturing industry that belongs to the top in the world!
Such an important industry, let a private company, Phoenix Group enter, and still control COMAC as a strategic investor? !
Then the status of the future Phoenix Group will undoubtedly become the only existence in Yan Kingdom!

Holding state-owned enterprises!

This……!
and.

In addition to the lofty status of the industry, not to mention economic factors!

Among other things, aircraft manufacturing is such a monopoly industry, how many companies in the world can manufacture aircraft!

I don't know how many companies in Yanguo, how much investment capital is staring at COMAC, they all hope to invest in it, even if it is only 1% of the equity, it is a legitimate state-owned enterprise!

To put it bluntly, even if the foreign orders are not good, COMAC can still make a lot of money just by relying on domestic orders!
Not to mention that anyone with a discerning eye can now see that COMAC has faintly opened up the overseas market. In time, let alone become a large enterprise with 1000 billion US dollars like Boeing, at least it will be no problem to grow into a 5000 billion RMB enterprise!
What Chief Li meant was to let the Phoenix Group directly invest in COMAC as a holding company!

Even give Phoenix Group 50%, 60% of the shares!
"Mr. Li, after all, COMAC is a state-owned enterprise. It might be inappropriate for Phoenix Group to do this..."

"That's right, Chief, if you tell us to introduce COMAC into Chengfei Group, Shencheng Subway, or any other state-owned enterprise, we won't have any objections, but Phoenix Group after all..."

"I hope you will think about it again, this matter is indeed a bit of a joke..."

Everyone persuaded them one after another, and they were obviously very worried about the question suddenly raised by Chief Li.

If you only talk about cooperating with Phoenix Group, everyone will naturally agree with it. After all, Phoenix Group's technological strength lies there, which will definitely be of great benefit to the future development of COMAC.

But c919 is too important to Yan Country after all, it is not a good choice for a private company to control it in everyone's mind!

Listening to everyone's comments and objections, Chief Li seemed calm.

"The times are different now. We have entered the deep water area of ​​Western high-end industries and have touched their core interests!"

"So what we have to do now is to unite all the forces that can be united!"

"Enterprises with strong research and development capabilities like the Phoenix Group, we introduce them as strategic investors, I believe they can create miracles, overcome obstacles in the aircraft manufacturing industry, and completely overturn all barriers in the Western market!"

As he spoke, Chief Li was also a little excited.

"Everyone here should have heard more or less about Phoenix's development of a 5nm lithography machine?!"

"At that time, everyone in the world, including ourselves, couldn't believe that Phoenix Group could make a 5nm lithography machine, but they really did it, and it was better than foreign ones!"

"I believe that if the Phoenix Group can develop a 5nm lithography machine, it will definitely create even greater miracles in the field of aircraft manufacturing, and it will definitely give us unexpected gains..."

Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath!
