Chapter 1473 Sorry, we don't want to be broken

"Investment?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise
Philip nodded and smiled: "Yes, we will provide you with part of the funds for subsequent research and development and plant construction, and provide you with aero engines on favorable terms. And we only need to exchange for a small share, just like It’s the same with your joint venture car manufacturing company.”

Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "Sorry, Mr. Philip, we have no plans for financing."

Philip smiled and said: "Don't refuse, the conditions we offer are very generous. For 40.00 million US dollars, we only need [-]% of the shares of your aviation manufacturing company, and the controlling stake is still yours. Moreover, we will also provide You provide engines specially researched and developed to meet your future development needs. Not only that, but also in terms of avionics and sub-control, we can provide you with corresponding equipment and technical support. I believe that with our joining, you It is enough to compete with Boeing, Airbus and other companies in the regional airliner market. More importantly, you should understand that we can help you obtain the old American airworthiness certificate. I think this is an irresistible temptation for you Bar."

Jiang Chen was actually quite moved by Philip's conditions.The focus is naturally not on the [-] million US dollars, but on cooperation in engine and avionics, flight control equipment and technology.Moreover, what Jiang Chen is more interested in is Laomei's airworthiness certificate. As long as he has this airworthiness certificate, the European airworthiness certificate will be a matter of time. This is very important for Jiang Chen and the others to enter the international market. of.However, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Chen firmly shook his head.Because Jiang Chen knew in his heart that this airliner manufacturing technology must be firmly in his hands.Relying on others, especially foreigners, will not lead to any good results. The bloody example in the past is still vivid in my mind.

Seeing Jiang Chen's refusal, Philip smiled and said to himself: "30.00% five, the conditions remain the same, I think this is enough to show our sincerity."

Jiang Chen still shook his head. Seeing this, Philip stared at Jiang Chen for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "30.00%, this is our bottom line. Mr. Jiang, you should understand that our conditions are sufficient. The madness of attracting other manufacturers who want to enter the industry just like you. We chose you because we really like your potential."

Hearing Philip's words, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you very much for your compliments, but in this respect, I'm sorry, we don't have the willingness to raise funds. I think we'd better go back to normal negotiations."

Philip glanced at Jiang Chen when he heard the words, then leaned back in his chair and looked at Jiang Chen and said, "It's a pity then, let's talk about the cooperation in the engine."

As he said that, while flipping through the information in front of him, Philip said to Jiang Chen sternly: "Mr. Jiang, according to your requirements and our evaluation of your purchase through understanding. We mainly recommend two excellent airlines of our company to you. Engine. A CFM56-2 developed and produced for our company has a single-engine thrust of 10670 horsepower. If one passenger plane is equipped with two engines, this engine can be completely applied to the passenger plane you are developing.”

Seeing that Jiang Chen and the others did not respond, Philip continued: "The second aero engine is the CFM563-B1 we developed and produced, and its thrust can reach 8239 to 8900 horsepower. This aero engine is equipped for 737 series aircraft. The thrust used is just right for you. And if we reach a cooperation, we can help you optimize it for free so that it can be more suitable for your aircraft."

Hearing Philip's words, Jiang Chen and Mr. Lu who was beside him began to discuss.However, after listening to the translation, Mr. Lu shook his head at Jiang Chen again and again.According to him, these two aero engines are not the most advanced or best engine models of General Electric.

As for the CFM56-2 mentioned first, this engine was developed relatively early, and it is used for McDonnell Douglas DC-8-70 series of large passenger aircraft.Although the thrust is strong, it is not suitable for Jiang Chen and his airliner.And this engine has another disadvantage, that is, it consumes fuel.Moreover, the technology is relatively backward, so the service life is relatively short.For passenger aircraft, this kind of aero engine is not that the more thrust the better, other factors must be considered.One of the biggest factors is economy and affordability. After all, airliners are used for commercial operations, so reducing costs is very important.

As for another engine CFM563-B1, although this engine is equipped on the 737 series.But compared to the previous model, this engine is still suitable for Jiang Chen and the others.It's just that this is also a relatively early model, which is a bit far behind the current latest model.Of course, Mr. Lu and the others were not very satisfied.After some communication, Jiang Chen shook his head at Philip and said, "No, Mr. Philip, we don't want to be broken. I'm sorry, I doubt your sincerity in this regard. According to where I am, your company has developed a special design for Airbus. An engine CFM320-56A5 equipped on the A4 airliner series. I think that compared with the previous two aero engines, the performance of this engine will be more suitable for us.”

"No, Mr. Jiang, you can't doubt our sincerity. I think the first two engines are more suitable for your aircraft." Philip shook his head and refused.

Regarding Philip's words, Jiang Chen was actually very upset in his heart.What does this mean? Is it a satire that their planes are backward and can only be equipped with backward engines?Regarding this, Jiang Chen shook his head and said firmly: "No, Mr. Philip, you should understand that we are customers and we have the right to choose. We have already known about your company's aero-engines and have made corresponding evaluations. We think that the CFM56-5A4 engine is more suitable for our aircraft, which is one of the main reasons why I met you first today. You should be clear that although you are the first choice, you are not the only choice.”

Hearing Jiang Chen's slightly warning words, Philip's expression turned a little ugly.But Jiang Chen didn't care about it at all.They exchanged a few words with the people next to them, that is, Chen Shi and the others in a low voice.Philip smiled at Jiang Chen and said, "Mr. Jiang, I know there is another company over the resort hotel, and you are still negotiating with two other companies in Shanghai. But you should be clear that we are definitely the most A good choice. No matter from the strength of our company or the quality of our products, we are definitely far ahead of other peers.”
