Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 893 Take action when it’s time to take action, no need to be polite at all
"Ayang, I think since Nanshan Engine has been able to produce N22, an aerospace engine suitable for use on the C919, then we don't have to be polite and directly take advantage of this market."

"Although Modu Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. is Party A and we are Party B, sometimes the status of Party A and Party B can be reversed."

Although Fang Sisi is not very involved in the operations of Nanshan Group companies, she is still very concerned about such important information.

If your own company does not have corresponding products, then the market will be taken away by American companies.

Now that Nanshan Engine is able to produce such excellent aero engines, it will definitely not be possible to share the cake with American companies.

In particular, the relationship between Nanshan Group companies and the United States has reached an unprecedented level.

The other party is trying every possible means to kill the Nanshan Group's enterprises.

In this case, any politeness or kindness is irresponsible to oneself.

"Indeed, judging from Mr. He's intention, I feel that the final solution is likely to use both our aero engines and General Electric, so that the initiative is firmly in their hands."

"This is clearly not in our interests."

As a result, He Guoqing couldn't stand it immediately.

This business logic is almost the same in any country and any enterprise. The difference is nothing more than a difference in degree.

What's more, he himself was ready to use it.

Otherwise, why do you insist on not using Nanshan engine?

Soon, the couple each called several people.

Cao Yang also understood the meaning of Fang Sisi's words.

Soon, various greeting calls came to He Guoqing.

"General Engineer Wei, have all the technical teams in Yangcheng completed the confirmation of various basic information?"

These phone calls are naturally very effective.

Some people even want to start arranging for people to check whether they have any shady transactions with manufacturers such as General Electric.

It's hard to say which of these two ideas is better, but when it comes to the C919 aero engine, Fang Sisi's idea is obviously faster and more effective.

"We don't need to worry so much about something that benefits the country and the people."

As long as it is not some specific content about the production process, but only introduces parameters, it does not involve too much confidentiality at all.

"I think some resources can be put to good use."

In this case, there is no need to keep procrastinating.

As long as there are no flaws in Nanshan’s engine plan, all C919 engines must be purchased from them.

Since it is an engine used on civil aviation aircraft, confidentiality is not that strong.

On the contrary, Cao Yang often likes to promote issues from a market perspective.

"There are many leaders who have cared about our group over the years, and we have the contact information of many of them."

Once there are more than two suppliers of the same part, you can feel comfortable being Party A’s father.

Relevant departments even issued a policy document specifically to support and encourage the development of aviation equipment.

He Guoqing could naturally guess that Nanshan Engine was behind this matter.

[Chinese Heart was born out of nowhere, benchmarking against world-class standards]

"The aeroengine is known as the 'jewel in the crown of the industry'. It is a core component of the aircraft and a thermal machine that provides the thrust required for the aircraft's flight..."

If he abandons the special relationship between the Nanshan system and the United States, if he is the general manager of Shanghai Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, he also hopes that there will be more than two suppliers for each part of the C919.

China Radio spent a full five minutes introducing the technological breakthroughs made by Nanshan Engine in the N22 and N44, and at the same time, it also gave everyone a certain understanding of the advancement of these two engines.

Anyone who has done procurement knows very well that if there is only one supplier to choose from for a part, then you, Party A, must have the awareness to become Party B.

As soon as China Channel reported this, the relevant departments also accelerated their actions.

In addition, they expressed their demands in a rather subtle way by reporting their results.

There were even several responsible persons from relevant departments who came to inspect in person, not to mention Lingnan Province.

He Guoqing knew that if he didn't make some clear decisions, he might not be able to keep his position under his butt.

After all, what Cao Yang and Fang Sisi reported was good news, which greatly promoted the development of China Airlines.

Even if we publish these parameters earlier, we might be able to receive some unexpected orders.

"Basically everything has been confirmed. Various other parts, including the aircraft engine, can also meet our requirements."

This principle is also easy to understand.

But what if you know?
For a supplier with such a powerful background, he has to use it even if he doesn't want it.

According to the information he has received in the past few days, the plan to use aero engines from General Electric and Nanshan Engine at the same time is not approved.

Fang Sisi is relatively good at using relevant resources, which has a certain relationship with her origin.

As a result, in the next few days, Nanshan Engine immediately received waves of inspection teams.

These news soon appeared on China Channel's news network.

After realizing this, Cao Yang would naturally not be so rigid and insist on following his previous ideas.

"Even if there are some areas that need to be modified or updated, the schedule should be able to meet the requirements."

"Mr. He, I think it's time to make a formal decision."

As the chief engineer of Shanghai Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, Wei Jian has naturally received a lot of calls these days.

Some inquired about technical issues, and some directly interceded with Nanshan Engine.

Anyway, he knew very well that unless Modu Commercial Aircraft could find a reasonable reason why N22 was not suitable for C919, there would be no other choice.

"Well, we will convene a meeting with the company's leadership team later to formalize this matter."

After saying this, He Guoqing felt a little relaxed.

So many people support Nanshan Engine, and the people who have called him these days are all of a higher level than him.

In this case, if he doesn't feel any pressure at all, it must be a lie.

Now everything is settled and there is nothing to worry about.

Soon, it was officially clarified internally at Mordu Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China that the engine manufacturer of the C919 would be replaced by Nanshan engines. For some other key components, as long as Nanshan-based companies can produce them, suppliers will also be changed.

Moreover, along with this decision, the purchasing department of Modu Commercial Aircraft has officially issued a parts ordering letter, which is equivalent to officially finalizing this matter in terms of the process.

In this way, this matter has completely shaken up the aviation industry.

"Ma, do you have any way to block the development of the C919 project of Mordu Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. and the Venus Technology's Venus 777?"

David felt very heavy when he thought that Boeing would face competition from COMAC and Daystar Technology in the future in terms of commercial airliners.

Especially for the Venus 777, judging from what we know so far, the other party's engine performance is very good, and it is fully capable of competing against the Boeing 777.

General Electric even discussed with itself for a long time how to deal with Daystar Technology specifically for the NS44 matter.

However, he didn't have many good ideas.

If he deals with other companies, he can find some way.

However, companies in the Nanshan Group are now like hedgehogs, almost all of which have achieved 100% localization of parts, materials and equipment.

This kind of enterprise is almost invincible.

Otherwise, how could Daystar Technology dare to ignore the US$30 billion fine from the United States, with no intention of paying or negotiating at all.

In David's view, even if Daystar Technology arranges a professional team of lawyers to sue the relevant departments in the United States, it is better than saying nothing.

However, facing this kind of reaction from Daystar Technology, the United States really can't find any better way to deal with it.

Now we can only use various threats to intimidate various international users not to cooperate with Daystar Technology.

This kind of coercion is obviously effective for countries such as Europe and Japan, but for countries such as Persia and North Korea, it not only has no effect, but seems to be advertising Daystar Technology.

In the past, everyone may have had some doubts and worries about the technology of Venus Technology. Now that America has endorsed it through various means, everyone has become more confident in the level of Venus Technology.

If David knew this, he would probably be even more depressed.

"Mordu Commercial Aircraft and Daystar Technology are now the darlings of relevant departments in China. Any unfair means against them will not be supported in China."

"Especially Daystar Technology, Lingnan Province, and relevant departments in China are all supporting its development in all aspects."

"I heard that the 100 billion yuan equipment subsidy from Lingnan Province has been quickly transferred to Daystar Technology's account."

"This kind of speed is simply not possible in other companies."

"Even in the future, Lingnan Province will reimburse the investment in the production line prepared by Venus Technology for the Venus 777."

"Chang'an Province also expressed a similar meaning, that is, if Venus Technology places part of its aerospace factories in Chang'an City, they will not only subsidize the amount of equipment investment, but also subsidize all the amount of factory construction. "

"It's like as long as Daystar Technology is willing to develop in Chang'an City, they will help build a factory for free."

Naturally, Ma Ailun has been inquiring about the various developments of Venusstar Technology during this period of time.

However, the more information he heard, the weaker his confidence in suppressing Daystar Technology became.

He even feels that now it is not about whether Boeing can find a way to suppress Daystar Technology, but whether the other party will suppress Boeing in China.

After all, Boeing is still thinking about selling a few more passenger planes to China.

It is entirely possible for Daystar Technology to do something behind the scenes to prevent airlines from purchasing Boeing aircraft, and the other party is fully capable of doing so.

"China now has many Boeing 737 and other models, and various airlines also have some orders waiting for delivery." "Can we blackmail the other party with after-sales issues?"

David mentioned an idea a little reluctantly.

This immediately startled Ma Allen.

It's a good thing that Boeing doesn't seek death. If he rushes to cause trouble, he is asking others to beat him.

Thinking of this, Ma Allen immediately said: "David, although China's aviation industry has developed rapidly in recent years, in addition to buying our products, people can also choose Airbus products."

“In addition, if the Venus 777 and C919 can enter mass production in the next three or four years, I am worried that they will directly use this opportunity to let various Chinese airlines delay the introduction of new products. The rhythm of the plane.”

"Anyway, the number of aircraft in China is already quite high, and high-speed rail has been developing rapidly in recent years. It is not completely unacceptable to delay the introduction of new aircraft for a few years."

"But for us, the impact was huge."

Ma Ailun's worry is obviously not unfounded.

Since the problem of the supply of core components such as high-speed rail bearings was solved, China's high-speed rail development has been faster than the same period in history.

For moving between many cities, the convenience of high-speed rail is no worse than that of airplanes.

Under such circumstances, it is not completely unacceptable to China to moderately slow down the introduction of passenger aircraft.

Of course, this is definitely a last resort choice.

Under normal circumstances, Ma Allen feels that each airline will not promote similar proposals on its own.

But when Boeing wants to seek death and threaten them, the situation may change.

After understanding Ma Allen's proposal, David also fell silent.

The situations in China and the United States are really quite different.

In the United States, taking a passenger plane is almost the only option when traveling far away.

Their railway systems are almost the same as they were hundreds of years ago, and there is no way to meet everyone's modern travel requirements.

Building high-speed rail is difficult to implement in the United States.

After all, airports all over the country have been able to solve the problem of long-distance travel.

And every household has a car, and the problem of short-distance travel has been solved.

High-speed rail is a rather embarrassing existence for them.

So you can say that America's high-speed rail technology is not as good as China's, but that's not just a technical issue.

"Are we just going to watch Modu Commercial Aircraft and Daystar Technology seize our market step by step?"

"China's aviation passenger aircraft orders will be the largest in the world in the future."

"If we lose this market, it will definitely be a huge blow to the company's development."

David now regrets that he actively promoted various measures to suppress Daystar Technology and Nanshan Group companies.

For other companies, the more they suppress it, the slower they will develop.

However, this rule is completely inapplicable when it comes to Nanshan Group’s companies.

The harder the United States suppresses it, the faster the other side will develop independently.

In the past, some raw materials and equipment needed to be imported from abroad, but due to various suppressions, people have greatly accelerated the pace of localization.

In the end, David could no longer find an entry point to suppress Nanshan Group companies.

Suppressing people in irrelevant areas will be ineffective and meaningless.

There is no place in a big place where I can suppress others.

Take Venus Technology, for example, a company that can live very comfortably relying solely on China's domestic orders. How can Boeing suppress it?
Even if he takes action, it will still be something illusory.

Thinking of this, David felt very heavy.

"David, there are often two types of people in China."

"One kind is to accept soft words rather than hard words. When dealing with this kind of people, you have to coax them with nice words, so as to get the maximum benefit."

"The other way is to bully the weak and avoid the strong. The tougher you are, the more the other party will cooperate with you."

"For example, some well-known computer brands belong to the second group."

"As for the companies in the Nanshan Group, although they are neither of the two types, they still tend to be in the first type on the whole."

"I think the company may need to readjust its approach to the Chinese market, change its past confrontational thinking, and see if it can find a way to win-win cooperation."

Ma Ailun's words once again silenced David.

win-win?

When does Boeing need to consider win-win cooperation with China?
Do you really have to be forced to compromise?
"If we increase investment in factories in China and put more aircraft assembly work in China, will it indirectly block the development of COMAC and Daystar Technology?"

Although he was very reluctant to accept it, David knew that Ma Allen's analysis was reasonable.

In this case, he must think carefully about how to implement this proposal.

"It definitely has some effect. I think we can ask the president of the company to come to China to express that Boeing will continue to take root in China and establish relationships with various industries in China in areas such as material production, technology research and development, personnel training, and sustainable development. Partnerships."

"And we can communicate with Modu Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China to cooperate with us in building a new assembly factory and delivery center."

"I believe that relevant departments in China still welcome Boeing's expansion of investment in China."

"After all, whether it is the passenger aircraft of COMAC or Daystar Technology, they are still in the drawings. No one can be sure that they will be developed quickly."

I have to say that Ma Allen's proposal is very pertinent.

As long as Boeing does this, it will not fall into the shackles of development so quickly in China.

At least until the C919 and Daystar 777 are mass-produced, China will not specifically target Boeing.

After all, China does need to buy more passenger planes.

If they all buy from Airbus, those people are actually not very good birds.

By then, some of their conditions may be even more stringent than those of Boeing.

The world is as black as crows. Many Chinese people have gradually realized this.

"I will discuss your idea with President Kevin right away to see if we can increase investment in the Jincheng factory and establish a new joint venture with Modu Commercial Aircraft."

Listen to advice when it's time to listen. David knew this very well.

The Jincheng factory was established in 1999 and is Boeing's first joint venture in China. It is responsible for the production of high-quality civil aviation composite parts and components.

It is jointly invested by Boeing, Hexcel Company and AVIC.

The first phase of the production facility was opened in 2001. With two expansions, the total area of ​​the factory has expanded to 48000 square meters.

It was originally expected that the third expansion would not take place until 2019, but now the situation seems to be changing.

Boeing is very troubled by the situation of the C919 and Daystar 777, and Airbus is actually not much better.

Although the relationship between Airbus and China has been better than that of Boeing in the past two years, they have not openly participated in the suppression of the Nanshan System.

However, Airbus's attitude towards the rise of China's aviation industry will not be fundamentally different from Boeing's.

It is almost inevitable that the butt determines the head.

However, compared with Boeing's past three-and-four, Airbus's actions are much softer.

"Chen, the board of directors has agreed to your proposal to expand the scale of the company's factory in China."

"I will make a special trip to China next week to have detailed discussions with shareholders on this project."

As President of Airbus's commercial aircraft business, Fabrice also feels a little tired during this period.

The situation in China was becoming more and more complicated, and the pace of change was completely beyond his imagination.

In the future, in addition to dealing with Boeing, an old rival, we also need to consider the threats posed by COMAC and Daystar Technology.

"That's great, Fabrice. This decision made by the company will definitely be very beneficial to improving our situation in China."

"To deal with China, sometimes we can't always adopt a coercive attitude like Boeing, but we have to package it and find another way to achieve our goals."

"Ultimately, we hope to make more money in the Chinese market. As long as this result does not change, everything else can be changed."

Chen Jumin breathed a sigh of relief. The headquarters finally listened to the advice this time.

Speaking of which, Airbus's development speed in China lags behind Boeing.

People started building a factory in Jincheng in 1999, but Boeing only officially opened the Jincheng factory in 2009.

Fortunately, Airbus has shown some signs of catching up as a latecomer and now shares the Chinese civil aviation market equally with Boeing.

As the first civil aircraft production line established by Tianjin outside Europe, although Tianjin can only complete the production of a small part of the parts, it is more of an assembly factory.

But for China, this is also of great significance.

Without the emergence of Venus Technology, to a certain extent, COMAC's C919 would have just mastered the overall assembly technology.

Although this technology may seem relatively simple, in fact there are only a handful of countries in the world that have mastered this technology.

Even in Japan, many companies provided Boeing with many parts, but in the end it was difficult to produce its own large aircraft.

Even if it is assembled, others cannot assemble it.
