The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 241 There is no one who can fight

Evra was filled with grief and he called the headquarters that evening.

Poor Boeing President Shulman had just arrived at his office, sat down and was about to have a cup of coffee and read the day's newspaper when the phone on his desk rang.

Shulman grabbed the microphone and put it to his ear.

"Mr. Shulman, this is Evra!"

"I have some very bad news to tell you..."

Evra told Shulman in detail the news that the test flight of China National Airlines' C919 passenger aircraft was a complete success.

After hearing this, Shulman was a little shocked: "What? Oh my God! Are they that powerful?"

"this is too scary!"

Evra said, "Mr. Shulman, they are moving too fast."

"I seriously suspect that by the time our factory in China is built, China's own passenger aircraft will have already begun mass production."

“It’s terrifying just to think about it!”

Shulman asked, "So, have you heard the news? Could it be that their passenger aircraft production factory has been built?"

Evra said: "Yes, they have actually almost prepared the factory to produce large aircraft."

"They have already built at least two production lines in Shanghai."

"Once their passenger aircraft is finalized, their production will start very quickly..."

"They may even be able to start production faster than our Chinese factories."

"This is a nightmare for us."

"So, I am wondering now, should we continue to build our Chinese factory?"

"An investment of up to $10 billion may very likely go down the drain in the future."

Shulman hesitated for a moment and said, "It must be built! We must speed up the construction of our factory in China!"

“We need to invest more manpower and strive to build the factory completely within half a year.”

"We will also strive to start production in a year!"

"Even if their large aircraft succeeds in its first test flight, they still need to undergo more detailed tests! However, the test flight will take no less than a year!"

“This will be an opportunity for us.”

"I have asked someone to calculate that if we put our factory into production in China, our production costs will be greatly reduced, and it is very likely to be reduced to one-third of the original cost!"

"Then we can squeeze China's large aircraft production space through price wars!"

Evra couldn't help but remind him: "Mr. Shulman, China will definitely lean towards their own civil aviation passenger aircraft manufacturing companies."

“They won’t give us a fair chance to compete.”

"Then we have to apply pressure to achieve our goals," Schulman said.

"We occupy the largest aviation market in Europe and the United States."

"If their large aircraft want to fly to our high-value aviation markets, they must obtain our airworthiness certificates!"

"As long as we work with our partner countries to control the airworthiness certificates and don't issue them to them, then their aircraft will not be able to leave the country!"

“By that time, do you think they will step up their efforts to purchase our aircraft?”

By the end, Shulman's tone had become a little bit ferocious.

Evra thought Shulman had a point.

"Okay, Mr. Shulman, I see what you mean."

……

In fact, the success of the C919 test flight is a heavy blow to the military elites all over the world.

For example, Collins, a reporter from the New York Times, felt a little unwell after witnessing the successful test flight of C919 at the test flight site.

This test flight was so perfect that there was nothing to complain about.

As long as you are not going against your conscience, there is nothing to criticize.

How can this be done?
Of course, media outlets like the New York Times are inherently thick-skinned.

In addition, media like this are controlled by chaebols.

There are quite a lot of cases where it confuses right and wrong.

After the test flight, Zhang Zhipeng did not hold any press conference.

After all, it’s just the first test flight and there’s still a long way to go.

At a time like this, there isn't much point in holding a press conference.

Collins left with a group of Lizard media.

"Guys, we have now really reached a very critical moment."

"My God, they even made a giant airplane. I'm afraid our situation will get worse and worse in the future!"

“We developed countries may all degenerate into developing countries!”

"Such a future would be a nightmare!"

Collins told reporters.

Gerald sighed and said, "So what can we do? We have no way to stop their industrial upgrading!"

"In fact, the advantageous industries that we previously controlled have been basically defeated by them."

"We have tried many methods, but unfortunately, none of them worked."

Collins shook his head and said angrily, "No! We still have a lot of useful cards that we haven't played yet!"

"We must tell the world one thing: China is destroying global rules!"

"Yeah! Also, their large aircraft are not environmentally friendly, have huge emissions, have many safety risks, and are not of good quality!"

"Anyway, just criticize them harshly!"

"As long as the whole world doesn't believe in their big planes and doesn't accept their big planes, then even if they build them, it will be useless!"

Collins is angry.

Geraint shrugged and said, "Mr. Collins, I must remind you that we are not in an advantageous position in terms of public opinion and propaganda."

"It is becoming increasingly difficult for us to control the discourse on the news!"

Today, Twitter and Weibo are fighting around the world.

Although both are Chinese Internet platforms, they are competitors in other parts of the world.

As the Internet continues to grow and mature, local media are increasingly feeling overwhelmed.

After listening to Geraint's words, Collins said a little dejectedly: "Damn it! We should ban Twitter!"

"It has seriously damaged the overall public opinion environment!"

Geraint sighed and said, "I have to say that there is almost nothing we can do right now."

"Because we dare not act rashly at all now!"

As soon as Collins returned to his hotel room, he began to write his manuscript on the laptop he brought with him.

Of course, his article certainly did its best to confuse right and wrong.

After writing, he sent the manuscript to the official email address of the New York Times via email.

The article was quickly published in the New York Times the next day.

At the same time, many foreign media adopted the same tone as Collins' article and smeared the C919 test flight.

In short, this test flight was a disastrous failure in their eyes.

The C919 big aircraft is also useless.

This is an organized smear campaign against China's domestically produced large aircraft.

Anyway, he is just telling lies with open eyes.

They do this because they want to completely negate the C919 and deal a severe blow to our aviation industry.

Jack Ma, the host of Twitter, naturally noticed this phenomenon first.

He immediately took action and mobilized a number of big V accounts to fight back.

The main purpose is to show the entire process of the C919 test flight through videos and pictures.

The various advanced parameters of C919 are also explained, and compared with Boeing's 737 series, the excellence of C919 is fully demonstrated.

Of course, we also need to analyze the various reports about C919 in the New York Times and other media, and refute their absurdities one by one.

Some people even posted a short video on Twitter showing Collins' frustrated expressions when he was visiting and covering the first test flight of the C919, as well as the discussions among the local reporters.

These contents have been highly recommended.

All Twitter users will see this content.

These contents received huge traffic.

This also stimulated more Twitter users to get involved.

This organized and premeditated campaign to smear C919 launched by the New York Times and other media did not last long before it was completely refuted.

The vast majority of Arab and American citizens are sarcastic and mocking these ridiculous media that are only capable of fooling and deceiving.

"The New York Times is really ridiculous this time. They actually want to deceive the public with lies!"

"Collins, I suggest you take a look at your heart! Because your heart is already dark!"

"You guys who don't want to make progress are just dogs of the rich! We may be surpassed in the field of large aircraft in the aviation industry, but you are singing the song of victory wantonly! What on earth do you want to do? Does the method of spiritual victory really work?" "The New York Times = lies!"

"It's true that reading the New York Times makes people stupid!"

"Guys, you keep preaching about the fairness and rigor of journalism, but what are you actually doing? You are fooling the whole world! We are all fed up with it!"

"How ridiculous! I used to trust the New York Times, but I didn't expect it to be so shabby! Is it so difficult to report on other people's progress in an impartial manner?"

For a time, the New York Times was ridiculed by people all over the world.

New York Times: Collins, who flew back to Aramco overnight, was reading special reports on C919 and New York Times on Twitter in his office.

He looked so sick.

Collins knows Twitter is powerful.

He didn't expect it to be so powerful.

He wrote that report in order to cooperate with the relevant aviation association to issue an announcement: the C919 will never be issued an airworthiness certificate.

But now, not to mention that the public opinion atmosphere he wanted has not been created.

Now, the New York Times and he himself are under siege.

This made him a little angry and embarrassed.

Boeing President Shulman has also been paying close attention to the development of related public opinion.

He hopes to use a series of overwhelming negative reports in the mainstream media to portray the C919 as a failed product.

This has caused people all over the world to lose trust in this aircraft.

In this way, the market for this aircraft will naturally be hit.

However, the wishful thinking is very loud.

But the effect is too poor.

With the existence of online self-media such as Twitter, it is no longer possible for them to confuse right and wrong or call a horse a zebra.

Schulman looked at the content on Twitter and felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

He thought that he had to hurry up and come up with a solution, or acquire Twitter.

Or just expel them.

Of course, this matter is a bit tricky now: after all, Amei has almost completely lost its advantage in technology.

There was no way it could get into A-Zhong's neck.

On the contrary, in areas such as advanced process chips, China is needed to provide them.

For example, Boeing actually needs China to provide a lot of high-tech chips, radio technologies and materials, all of which are obtained through cooperation with China.

In the future, Boeing also hopes to obtain large orders from China through some means.

If you act rashly at this time, there is a high possibility that you will be retaliated against in a targeted manner.

After much thought, Shulman finally decided to endure it.

……

The test flight of C919 was on New Year’s Eve. After the test flight, Zhang Zhipeng flew back to Chang’an to celebrate the New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Zhipeng went to the Huaxing Group's factory as usual to comfort the employees and celebrate with the people.

He made dumplings with his employees in the morning and gave them red envelopes.

By the way, I also received condolences from leaders at all levels.

In the afternoon, what he didn't expect was that a group of uninvited guests ran from Shenzhen to Chang'an to wish him a happy new year.

Among them was Jack Ma, who had just flown back from Amei to visit his relatives.

Of course, Hua Teng came too.

And Lei Jun also came here specially.

Obviously, these people had discussed this beforehand.

Zhang Zhipeng naturally received them warmly.

He asked Jack Ma how he felt about being in Amei.

Jack Ma sighed and said to Zhang Zhipeng, "Boss, I can say that this trip to Amei to manage Twitter has really touched me deeply."

"In the past, I had a very high opinion of Amei."

“But now, its beautiful filter has been completely shattered.”

Zhang Zhipeng said: "This is also normal!"

“We are now in a period where the East is rising and the West is falling.”

"We have made rapid breakthroughs in many of their high-tech fields little by little, snatching away the technological advantages they rely on to exploit the world."

"Their days will inevitably become more and more difficult."

"In the future, their ordinary people will probably suffer even more..."

Jack Ma nodded and said, "It's hard enough now."

"I read the tweets from ordinary people at the bottom of society on Twitter, and many of them feel that their lives are terrible."

"We also did a survey to understand their financial situation."

"Guess what, more than 60% of ordinary people in Amei now don't have a single cent in savings."

"Forty percent of people are living beyond their means and have to use credit cards to make ends meet."

"Once they lose their jobs, if they cannot find a new one, their lives will immediately fall into a difficult situation..."

"I went to Amei once more than seven years ago. That time, Amei only shocked me."

"But now they are beginning to show a desperate decline."

"It's only been a few short years."

“Everything is changing so fast.”

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole. It may be just a small problem at the beginning, but once it starts to collapse, it can no longer be reversed."

"Okay, let's not talk about Amy anymore."

"When the C919 was attacked by Western media, your quick response left a deep impression on me."

"You did a great job, Jack. I admire you."

Jack Ma quickly said, "Boss, that's within my job description."

"But I have a worry now..."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Tell me about it?"

"We have been too aggressive and have demonstrated our ability to influence public opinion," Ma said.

"I'm worried that they might do something bad to us."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "They probably won't dare to do that for now."

"We are now holding their lives in our hands!"

"They have many important high-tech products, such as various high-end chips, which are all supplied by us."

"If they dare to attack our platform, it will mean a fallout."

“They have to consider what the consequences are.”

As Zhang Zhipeng spoke, he went to get a detailed import and export list of Amei and Azhong.

He showed the picture and said with a smile: "Look, what are the materials that Ami is exporting to us now?"

Hua Teng and others came over to take a look.

Zhang Zhipeng said: "The only products they export to us now are agricultural products, mineral products, biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, etc."

"So, generally speaking, they don't have anything valuable or decent that's worth buying."

"Large airplanes are the same. But they are courting death and trying to reap the profits at high prices. Don't blame us for being rude."

"In short, what I want to say is that these guys still dream of being superior to others until today. This is a disease!"

Lei Bush nodded and said, "Boss, you said it very well."

"They have no right to dictate to us now."

"Let's take the Internet economy as an example. Two years ago, Ami's Internet economy was the biggest bright spot in their country. They developed much better than us."

"But what about two years later? We have already flourished in the emerging Internet industry and started to conquer cities all over the world."

"Their Internet businesses are now showing signs of fatigue."

"This shows that they are really a little overwhelmed and have already reached the twilight of the empire."

Hua Teng said: "I heard that Amy's Google has begun to enter the Chinese market. At the same time, there are also companies such as Yahoo."

“They are obviously still not reconciled.”

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "No one is willing to voluntarily withdraw from the stage of history."

"We in China welcome companies from all over the world to enter our market and compete with us."

"But it's not that I look down on them. They are no match for us at all, haha!"

Zhang Zhipeng is very confident because those Internet companies owned by Amei really have no competitiveness!
