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

Chapter 248 Competition is cruel [Request full order! ]

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Actually, I think it's pretty easy for us to fight back."

Zhou Feihong perked up and asked quickly, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Zhang Zhipeng said calmly, "Is it time for our country's airworthiness certificate to undergo a major revision?"

When Zhou Feihong heard what Zhang Zhipeng said, he immediately perked up and said, "I know what you mean."

"We can use this as an excuse to modify the standards for domestic airworthiness certificates and significantly add content that is unfavorable to European and American civil aviation manufacturing giants."

"Then we can invalidate the airworthiness certificates originally issued to Boeing and Airbus. This way, we will have bargaining chips."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's my idea. If there are no cards, then make some to play with. Do you think this will work?"

Zhou Feihong said: "However, there is a problem now..."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "I know what you are thinking. You are worried that this will lead to the fragmentation of the aviation market and cause us to suffer backlash."

Zhou Feihong nodded and said, "Yes, after all, Boeing and Airbus are both powerful civil aviation giants."

"If we don't issue them airworthiness certificates, aircraft from many countries will not be able to land in our country."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "This is easy to do."

"From the date our new airworthiness certificate system is implemented, the issuance of airworthiness certificates for new Boeing and Airbus aircraft will be temporarily suspended."

Zhou Feihong nodded and said, "I think this method can be used."

"Well! We should spread the word and make those guys nervous!"

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Yes! Let it out first! See what the other party thinks."

"Secondly, we must increase the sales and reservations for C919 at this air show!"

“We strive to open up overseas markets as soon as possible.”

"Our domestic airlines should also hurry up and book C919 aircraft to create a big event at the air show!"

……

Boeing attaches great importance to this Bamboo Sea Air Show.

They hope to make a breakthrough at this air show and sell more aircraft in China.

After all, Boeing has now established a production plant in China.

Moreover, localized production is also proceeding at full speed.

Boeing President Shulman, accompanied by Vice President Evra, personally came to the Bamboo Sea.

They stayed in a five-star hotel not far from the air show.

That evening, Shulman called a meeting.

At the meeting, he repeatedly stressed that the Chinese market is extremely large.

There is a large shortage of aircraft at present.

Therefore, at this air show, we must increase our efforts to tackle key problems and strive to place more orders.

During the meeting, a senior manager in charge of publicity hurried into the conference room.

"Mr. Shulman, I heard shocking news," the executive said.

Shulman said, "Why are you panicking? Tell me what's going on."

The executive told Shulman something shocking: China is going to revise its current airworthiness certificate standards!
When the new standards are implemented, all previously approved airworthiness certificates will be invalid!
If you want to get re-examination, you need to submit the information...

When Shulman heard this, he understood what was going on: China was hinting that if you and Europe and the United States don't issue us an airworthiness certificate, then don't blame us for being rude! We will also strangle you!
He was a little anxious and a little frightened.

However, he thought again, Boeing has now built such a large factory in China, so this can be considered as a token of its loyalty, right?

Could it be that Boeing will be targeted again?

Shulman decided to contact Li Yuntong, the head of the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

He must figure out whether China is doing this specifically to target Boeing.

Shulman called Li Yuntong personally.

At this moment, Li Yuntong was actually also in the bamboo sea.

After all, the Zhuhai air show is huge in scale, and as the head of the Civil Aviation Administration, he must come over.

Li Yuntong certainly also knew that China was going to redefine its own airworthiness certificate standards in order to put pressure on Europe and the United States.

After receiving Schulman's call, Li Yuntong laughed and said, "Haha! Mr. Schulman, I know what you are worried about. But don't worry, even if we have formulated new airworthiness certificate standards, it's actually nothing! As long as you can pass the relevant standards, the airworthiness certificate will still be issued to you!"

Shulman was obviously still not reassured.

He said: "Mr. Li, can't you give us the green light for Boeing?"

“Why not just put us through a new airworthiness certificate?”

"We, Boeing, are planning to invest tens of billions of dollars in your country. In the future, this will become our most important production base."

"The large passenger planes we produce here will continue to be exported to earn foreign exchange, bringing you many high-quality jobs and GDP."

Li Yuntong smiled calmly and said, "The green light will definitely not be given. Any company must follow the rules."

"Even our own domestically produced large aircraft, the C919, will need to be certified according to the new airworthiness standards in the future."

"If our own aircraft cannot pass the assessment, I am afraid we will not be able to obtain our country's airworthiness certificate."

"So, please forgive me, Mr. Shulman."

Li Yuntong calmly and directly retorted to Shulman.

Li Yuntong thought: We did this to force you to give in! Now, the ball is at your feet, let's see how you react!

If you want to win our airworthiness certificate, you must also give the green light to our C919!

After Shulman made the call, he was in a very bad mood. Yes, his mood was extremely bad.

According to Shulman's idea, he originally thought that if Boeing established a large production base in China, it would be able to obtain a large number of large aircraft orders from China, and even gradually monopolize China's civil aviation passenger aircraft market.

But now it seems that his wish is not so easy to achieve.

China has resorted to such a move, and it is obvious that it is trying to force Aramco to review and approve the airworthiness certificate of China's large aircraft C919 as soon as possible.

However, if C919 really obtains the airworthiness certificate from Europe and the United States, both Boeing and Airbus will suffer a huge impact!
By then, perhaps European and American civil aviation giants will still face a life-and-death test.

Therefore, after Shulman discussed with his partners in Europe, they all firmly believed that in the face of China's pressure for an airworthiness certificate, the two sides should unite!
Shulman and others believe that Boeing can be said to dominate the civil aviation market around the world! If Boeing and Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Company fall out over the issue of civil aviation airworthiness certificate, it will not be a good thing for this large civil aviation aircraft manufacturer in China.

After all, the civil airliners used by countries all over the world are all produced by the two giants, Boeing and Airbus.

Shulman finally decided to threaten all civil aviation companies around the world to put pressure on China's civil aviation authorities.

Now that Boeing has made the decision, all media outlets on the island will naturally cooperate in creating public opinion.

The New York Times published a series of critical articles criticizing China's revision of its airworthiness certificate standards in an attempt to restrict Boeing's development.

The New York Times put a lot of blame on this matter.

It's like trying to protect their own civil aviation market and get out of touch with the world!
What else? If Dragon once causes trouble for Boeing in terms of airworthiness certificate, it will be a heavy blow to all civil aviation companies in the world...

In short, they tried to stir up a public opinion war and fabricate many charges against us for the modification of our airworthiness certificate.

Boeing is also trying to hold the whole world hostage and get airlines around the world to put pressure on us.

However, now is no longer the time for this civil aviation aircraft giant to have absolute control over public opinion.

Their mainstream media, such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, and the like, are also losing influence on ordinary people.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for Boeing to set the pace according to the agenda it set.

This is mainly because the Internet self-media platform is now in the hands of Zhang Zhipeng.

It is impossible for Twitter today to be influenced by capital.

The truth of the incident can be freely revealed here.

Soon, a trend of refuting the outrageous remarks of the mainstream media began to form on self-media platforms.

We-media bloggers have revealed the wishful thinking of the European and American aviation industry giants: they are nothing! They just want to monopolize the civil aviation industry market! They just want to use this trick to strangle the development of China's civil aviation large aircraft!

For a long time, China has been advocating globalization and demanding others to open up their markets.

However, they actually only want to promote globalization in industries where they have an advantage.

They just want all countries in the world to become their raw material production bases and commodity dumping markets!

Another blogger analyzed the benefits that ordinary people would gain if China's C919 aircraft is successful:

The civil aviation aircraft market will be reshuffled due to fierce competition, and airlines around the world will be able to purchase aircraft at a cheaper price. In that case, the ticket prices for ordinary passengers will also be greatly reduced.

Secondly, due to the lack of competition, Boeing's manufacturing quality has been declining year by year. This is an indisputable fact. In the past two years, Boeing's accidents have also increased rapidly, with major accidents occurring almost every year.

If C919 successfully enters the international market, it will bring strong market competition pressure to Boeing, forcing it to improve its scientific research and manufacturing level. Third, the design and manufacturing quality requirements of C919 are very strict, and the pursuit of safety is more demanding. Although C919 has not yet entered the market, one thing is certain: C919 is obviously better in quality and safer than Boeing's products.

In short, there are numerous posts on Twitter comparing C919 and Boeing 737.

The vast majority of them are affirmation and praise for C919.

At the same time, a lot of explosive information about Boeing was revealed.

What about "a high proportion of frontline employees taking drugs, and reporters secretly discovered that Boeing employees were taking drugs in the workshop"? What about "Boeing is eager for quick success and instant benefits. In order to gain the greatest profits, it has lowered its quality requirements for aircraft manufacturing, and the materials used have serious quality defects"...

In short, all kinds of explosive news about Boeing are fermenting.

Of course, there are also many rational analyses regarding the attacks by mainstream traditional media on our modification of the airworthiness certificate.

Mainstream analysis believes that Boeing and other giants want to continue to monopolize the world's civil aviation market in order to reap excessive profits! They are trying to use the trick of holding the whole world hostage to force China to act in accordance with their own demands, and it would be best if they could scrap their own civil aviation aircraft.

But Lizard Fang's trick obviously won't work very well!

If China attempts to block the development of China's civil aviation aircraft by blocking the C919 aircraft's airworthiness certificate, it will sooner or later shoot itself in the foot.

Even if China does not want the European and American markets for the time being, it can still achieve its goal of forcibly squeezing into the civil aviation market and obtaining a considerable market share by seizing the civil aviation markets of all other third world countries.

This is actually an open conspiracy.

……

Shulman was distressed.

He originally thought that he could use the powerful influence of Lizard's public opinion to put pressure on China.

Unexpectedly, the mainstream media on the Lizard side could not set the pace.

On the contrary, on the self-media platform Twitter, Boeing began to be abused and exposed in various ways.

After this incident, the high-tech image that Boeing had originally created for the world collapsed.

Shulman was angry and helpless about the result.

……

By the way, the Bamboo Sea Air Show finally opened one day in early November.

China's domestically produced C919 large passenger aircraft shined at this exhibition.

The aircraft even performed a demonstration flight at the air show.

People from airlines all over the world and some wealthy people came to the C919 booth to visit and listen to the technical staff's explanations.

Aziz is a prince of Camel Kingdom and also the owner of an airline in Camel Kingdom.

This time he was invited to attend the Bamboo Sea Air Show in China.

Aziz actually just wanted to come over and take a look at the situation. He had no intention of placing an order.

His airline does need to purchase a batch of civil airliners, about 20 in total.

However, Aziz and the company's top management all agreed that they should still buy the big, beautiful Boeing aircraft.

After all, they are an old giant.

Second, Boeing is a big, beautiful brand, and buying Boeing can show goodwill to it.

However, Aziz and many people in Camel Country have realized that the era when the beautiful women had absolute power seems to be gone forever.

China has actually surpassed America in many areas today.

The Camel Nation must hedge its bets.

Aziz came here this time to buy a batch of weapons for the Camel Country.

Aziz arrived at the air show surrounded by his entourage.

The exhibitions at the air show are dazzling, with all kinds of foreign trade weapons and equipment everywhere, making people dazzled.

This made Aziz sigh: China's military industrial strength is now no less than that of Ame.

The most important point is that not only are their products of high quality and advanced technology but their prices are also more reasonable and fair.

Aziz visited booth after booth, and every piece of equipment he saw attracted him.

Now he wishes he could take all his equipment back with him.

Aziz came to the C919 booth.

He saw a large crowd of people here, and in the middle of the huge booth, a C919 passenger aircraft was displayed.

Any visitor who passes security check can board the plane for a visit.

Because there were so many people visiting, there was a long queue of people waiting to visit.

Aziz looked at the huge and beautiful plane in front of him and exclaimed in admiration.

"I never thought that China could actually build such a large aircraft."

The translator at the side smiled and said, "Mr. Aziz, China has developed and manufactured a series of large aircraft. You have heard about it, right? They have even built a strategic bomber that is better than the B2."

"China can be said to be the most powerful player in the aviation industry."

“It is internationally recognized that they are no worse than Aramco.”

Aziz nodded and said, "You are right."

“I would love to be able to board this plane and take a look around.”

"Go and negotiate with them and see if they can allow me to board the plane first and take a look around."

Before Aziz's translator could go find the staff, Zhou Feihong, the head of the Magic City Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, had already arrived in front of Aziz.

Zhou Feihong naturally knew the wealthy people in Camel Country, and they were all potential big buyers.

As long as you can get them excited, then perhaps a big order is beckoning.

Zhou Feihong revealed his identity to Aziz.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Zhou Feihong began to tell him about the various parameters of the C919 and the test flight data.

Zhou Feihong told Aziz that the alloy material used in the C919's fuselage is the most advanced in the world, which can ensure that the C919's fuselage structure is stronger and lighter.

The C919 uses the world's most advanced avionics system, and its engines are more advanced than other similar passenger aircraft in the world.

The facilities on the aircraft are also more humane, ensuring the comfort and safety of passengers...

As Zhou Feihong spoke, he compared it with the Boeing 737, a competitor company.

After comparison, we can draw the conclusion that C919 is obviously safer and more advanced than Boeing 737.

The most important thing is: C919 is also cheaper.

A Boeing 737 costs more than $ million.

But the C919 is to million dollars cheaper than the other one.

Zhou Feihong said to Aziz: "Mr. Aziz, you know that China is currently much ahead of Aramco in the fields of chip technology, electronic technology, material technology, etc."

"The C919, which we built with the help of the whole nation and with higher technology, is obviously a more advanced passenger aircraft than the Boeing 737."

"Our aircraft has now undergone more than 20,000 flight tests, and it can be said that all the test results are perfect."

Aziz nodded and said, "I believe you."

"After all, the C919 was developed by Zhang Zhipeng, one of the world's top scientists."

"Will Mr. Zhang Zhipeng also come to the air show?"

“I really hope to have a conversation with him.”

Zhou Feihong smiled and said, "He should be here soon. I can give him a call and urge him on his way."

Aziz said enthusiastically, "Okay, okay! Then I will wait for him here."

"Zhang is an amazing and great man who has made so many great contributions to the world."

Zhou Feihong called Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng is actually in a hotel near the air show venue at this moment.

The reason why he didn't come to the scene immediately was mainly because he was worried that his arrival would cause chaos at the air show. This was mainly because his influence was too great.

Wherever he goes, he causes a sensation and attracts attention.

After receiving a call from Zhou Feihong and hearing that the local tycoons from Camel Country were visiting the C919 booth, Zhang Zhipeng decided to rush over to meet them and try to win the first foreign sales order. This also has great symbolic significance.
