Smart Industrial Empire

"Mr. President, it's already lunch time. Should we invite our Chinese guests to have lunch first, and discuss it after a short break?" When the scene was in an embarrassing situation, Blacker's secretary knocked on the door and entered the conference room.

It was now 12:30 noon, and at the beginning, Blacker had told the secretaries not to disturb them until they heard from them.

The secretary has been waiting in her office. She always thought that Mr. Blacker and these Chinese people would not talk about forgetting the time, but she didn't expect that after twelve o'clock, Blacker didn't send her an early Edited short message.

She waited until 12:30 to get the news. How could she know that if Yun Fei hadn't pointed out that their research on the pw6000 project had entered a critical period, neither party would have taken the initiative to take a break.

Pratt & Whitney needs the Chinese market.

And the Chinese need their engines to get their own planes into the sky.

"I'm really hungry, Mr. Blacker, won't your company just invite us to eat raw beef?" Yun Fei also knew that even if they took the initiative in the negotiation, it would be very difficult to take advantage of the other party's weakness like they did in China It is impossible to end the negotiations soon.

Foreign countries are fundamentally different from domestic ones.

Not only must it follow the rules of commercial negotiations, but it must also be in line with the national interest.

In this era, no one can resist the will of the state, nor can any company.Just like many large industrial groups in the United States, many of them have to continue to dilute their equity and split them because of their great influence on the country...

"Mr. Yun was joking, we know you are not used to western food, so we specially found a master chef who has the title of super chef in China from a Chinese restaurant in the city..." Regarding Yun Fei's immature performance at the moment, Blacker I don't think he's really that naive.

"That's good. I just don't know if this chef has a special chef certificate obtained from those stalls..." Yun Fei pouted.

In foreign countries, it is impossible to have such a great chef, because these Caucasians who are not rich in food culture can't appreciate the essence of China on the tip of their tongues.Maybe the taste buds of these simple Caucasians are too poorly developed, or maybe they don’t have much taste. There have never been many Chinese chefs who can cook them real delicacies.

You know, there is an old saying in China that slow work produces meticulous work, which comes from the chef industry. Many top-level dishes need to be cooked for several hours.Not to mention the preparation time, especially for some top-level dishes, all kinds of seasonings required require a harsh growth environment.

No one is going to discuss the engine anymore. After all, the Chinese habit of negotiating at the wine table is not accepted in the United States. The wine table culture only appears in China.

When Yunfei and the others followed Blacker and his group towards their staff restaurant, Costello, the president of Boeing Commercial Aircraft Group, was listening to the report of Jon Carson, the general manager of the trading company in front of him with a gloomy face.

The fact that the Chinese want to build large aircraft is not too important to them at all.After all, issues such as China's institutional issues and technical level cannot be completed within a period of time.Moreover, even if the Chinese manufacture large aircraft, they want to enter the international market.They also need to obtain airworthiness licenses from the United States and Europe, otherwise they will only be able to play in their own domestic market.

Without engines, how many commercial aircraft the Chinese want to manufacture is not determined by their market.Rather, companies such as Boeing and Airbus that control the entire world's aircraft business have the final say.But now Pratt & Whitney has taken the initiative to sell engines to China.

Once they have an engine, the world's largest commercial aircraft market has little to do with them.

"Does Blacker really want to export the engine to the Chinese market?" Costolo frowned and asked the capable man in front of him.No matter how strong the manufacturing capability is, the products must be sold.The technology of Airbus is no worse than that of Boeing, but it has always been suppressed by Boeing, not because they started late, but because Jon Carson has an incomparable talent in business.

"It is true. According to my communication with him last night, if possible, he will even license technology to the Chinese, or they will set up an engine production plant in China in order to gain a huge market share in China..." Jon Carson said calmly.

Once the Chinese have the ability to manufacture large aircraft, it will not be so easy for Boeing and Airbus to round up and flatten Chinese airlines as before.Moreover, the Chinese have their own aircraft, they can only reduce the price!

It has just acquired McDonnell Douglas, and it hasn't been long since they took over the Chinese market. The Chinese started doing such things?

"What did the guys from the Civil Aviation Administration of China and the Ministry of Aviation Industry say? Didn't they promise that China would not launch this project within ten years?" Costolo asked angrily, "Our research costs are quite different. If it is in their hands, these children who are studying abroad, do they think that they can live with peace of mind when they come here?"

"Mr. President, for this project, at the beginning, it was just a state-owned unit that was about to go bankrupt in China to fight for project funds. Without state loans, they could not have done it at all. In the 70s, they spent [-] million in poor China. Sterling foreign exchange introduced Rolls-Royce’s Bayesian engine production technology, so it’s not possible to produce their engines yet?” Jon Carson naturally knew that without aircraft engines, the Chinese would not be able to produce their own aircraft.

Costolo frowned even tighter: "But the current situation is not that a Chinese state-owned enterprise wants to engage in this project, but a young private owner of them who has no backing, right?"

Jon Carson nodded seriously.

This is what gives them a headache, "The new Chinese government's prime minister is now vigorously fighting corruption, and many officials have already been dismissed. Those Chinese officials who have taken advantage of us don't dare to do too much now, especially this project. It is backed by the highest leadership of the Chinese people..."

"You mean their old man who hasn't passed away? If so, it's not easy to get rid of their project from China. That old man took the blame for his officials when he first took office, and now he doesn't What happened back then may happen again, and it is impossible for China’s top leaders to take the blame for their unimportant officials again.” Costolo’s thoughts on the complicated Chinese people are very difficult to understand.

"This is not a project supported by the Chinese government, but it has received the attention of all senior government leaders. The main reason is that this young Chinese boss is privately funded for this project, not allocated by the state. According to the current situation Look, the Chinese won’t borrow money from the bank for this project, just because he’s worried that someone will cut off his capital chain…” Jon Carson has been in charge of the operation of these things, and after knowing these things, he has been Run for these things.

He has a very thorough understanding of the inside story.

"Is there such a rich person in China? And he is a young man with no background?" Costolo doesn't believe this.

"This young man is not without background. His background is unmatched by any Chinese. He has a very deep relationship with the top leaders of the Chinese government. Even the old man in China who hides behind the scenes has visited twice for the purpose of supporting him. His industry, and according to the information we got from the insiders of the Chinese government, the old man will inspect his industry again this year, just to support his large aircraft project..."

"This is a very interesting young man. Since he is an enemy we cannot defeat, maybe he may not be our friend..." Costolo took a deep breath.

Unlike Europe and the United States, China strictly follows market rules.

Chinese people's thinking cannot be understood by Europeans and Americans.

"If we cut off their thoughts from the engine, so that they have no engine to use, it will also make them unable to become our competitors. Airbus will definitely not want a local competitor in the Chinese market... "Become a partner with the Chinese?

For Jon Carson, this is simply unacceptable. They have spent such a huge amount of energy, and finally arrived at the harvest season, but they want to share part of the benefits with the Chinese. This is simply impossible. If so, they would tear up the cooperation agreement between McDonnell Douglas and the Chinese, and take back the production authorization of the Chinese, which would have no effect, and would instead cause them to lose a large part of their interests.

"Jon, in the face of interests, there is no permanent enemy. If we force them to engage in this project by themselves, perhaps we will completely lose the Chinese market. This young man has lost a lot of CNC machine tool companies in various countries along the way. interests. In China, as long as they put on a domestic cloak, they can kidnap most of the users.” Costolo sighed, “Moreover, we cannot control Pratt & Whitney from exporting their engines to China, just like Airbus can't control Rolls-Royce not exporting engines to China. Blacker bastard and Pratt & Whitney's board of directors understand this better than any of us..."

It is basically impossible for the Chinese to stop this project.

Unless, you can start from the person who is engaged in the project itself... (to be continued...)
