Smart Industrial Empire

"China developed the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb without any foundation, and at the same time, they also sent their satellites into the sky.—And now, after China's reform and opening up, their technological development has disappeared It was so fast before, why is that?" Blacker asked everyone with a serious face.

Why is that?

Shareholders of Pratt & Whitney immediately felt pain. The speed and slowness of Chinese technology development have nothing to do with them. However, there are several officials from the Ministry of Defense here, and they are not easy to get angry, right? ?After all, the national interest is above all else!Of course, thinking about it from another perspective, this is not a bad thing, after all, Boeing is putting pressure on them through the Ministry of Defense.

Only by convincing these guys from the Ministry of Defense can they agree to Pratt & Whitney's export of their most advanced civil aviation engines to China.

Seeing the doubts on the faces of the officials of the Ministry of National Defense, a smile hung on the corner of Blacker's mouth: "It is because after the end of the Cold War, countries opened up the export of some technologies to China, and export some outdated technologies to China. It took a lot of money from the Chinese people..."

Blacker's words immediately won a lot of applause.

Once the manufacturing technology and design capabilities of the Chinese improve, the U.S. Department of Defense will suffer the most. The Chinese are not as good as the Soviets in cutting-edge manufacturing, but China has produced a lot of things that have caused headaches for Americans in recent years.

Many of the technologies of the Chinese 052 ships are modified by importing civilian technologies from the international market; while China’s Dongfeng-35 is a super strategic missile that Americans do not have detailed information on. The Poplar-MD intercontinental missile with a range of 30 kilometers in hand is even better!This is the trump card that the Chinese have worked hard for more than [-] years.

There are also China's strategic nuclear submarines.According to the news, the performance of the 096 class is even better.

The Chinese do not have advanced fighter jets, so their air defense missiles are the most cost-effective in the world; the Chinese do not have large warships, so their anti-ship missiles and submarines are equally good; The atomic bombs that come out are put where they need them, so the Chinese have come up with the Dongfeng-35 with a super long range...

All this is kept secret by the Chinese.

If it weren't for the Americans who have the largest intelligence system in the world, they would never know these things.

The Chinese are not as powerless as they appear on the surface.

otherwise.After the fall of the former Soviet Union, the greatest enemy of the United States in the world.The United States was the first to clean up China, and now, they are only imposing some restrictions on China, instead of engaging in the most intense confrontation with the former Soviet Union.God knows what the Chinese have hidden in those dug-through mountains over the years.

Limit the development of these top equipment in China.nothing else.It is China's manufacturing ability that makes the whole world hurt.

China is a country that lacks cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities.These things were created when there was no cutting-edge manufacturing capability, if there is one later.Can the Americans still maintain world peace?

"Mr. Blacker, since this is the case, why don't you just export some ordinary engines to the Chinese, and why do you have to export the most advanced aircraft engines you have developed? Although they are for civilian use, many technologies are derived from military technology. The Chinese are very It is possible to reversely deduce military engine technology from the technology of these aircraft engines..." As a special adviser to the US Department of Defense, Keswell, who once served as the technical director of the US Logistics Equipment Department, asked calmly.

"Mr. Keswell, or do you think that the Chinese, who can't even produce engines like Beth that have been eliminated in the late 70s, may be able to research the technology of our engines in a short period of time? You know, the Chinese with Beth engines But a full set of production technology has been introduced!" Blacker laughed.

All the shareholders of Pratt & Whitney laughed too.

Of course, Keswell and his party also laughed.

This worry is simply unnecessary.At least, in his eyes, it was unnecessary.

"Well, Mr. Blacker, I personally think that you have successfully persuaded me, but I can't guarantee what the Ministry of Defense will decide in the end. I can only promise you that everything you said, we will The transaction was delivered verbatim to the Strategic Department of the Ministry of National Defense..." The old man Keswell almost left with a smile on his face.

As for the shareholders of Pratt & Whitney, it is not the same as what they consider.

The officials of the Ministry of National Defense consider the opposite of national security, while these shareholders consider what kind of impact the Chinese export will have on them, how much benefit they can bring, how big the risk is, and how high the profit is .

After all, everyone is counting on the company to make money to support their families, right?

"As I said before, this is currently the biggest opportunity for Pratt & Whitney's business growth. The European market has Rolls-Royce, while our country has the giant GM, and we have always been given by the two companies. Suppressed, except that our position in military engines is relatively stable, but in the civil aviation power market, we have no way to compete with these two companies. The development of civil aviation engines such as pw6000 is not too profitable, or it is Are you going to enter the field of regional airliners that they have begun to pay less attention to, so as to avoid too much competition and cause losses for this project?" Blacker continued to lobby the leaders of Pratt & Whitney after the military personnel withdrew.

"Mr. Blacker, thank you for everything you have done for us. However, we really want to know that by doing this, we will not only offend Boeing, but will also be severely suppressed by GE and Rolls-Royce. How should HP respond?" Pratt & Whitney Chairman Taylor Whitney asked Blacker, a professional manager, calmly.

The company has a multi-million-dollar CEO, Blacker, and an aging chairman who doesn't care about these businesses at all.

The European and American arms embargo regulations on China have made the whole world only able to stare at the Chinese military market, and Russia obtains tens of billions of dollars in aircraft engine orders from China every year for nothing.

"Chairman Taylor, we only have a cooperative relationship with Boeing, and all along, they have been strongly recommending GE aircraft engines to their customers. If we do this, it doesn't matter whether we are offended or not. As for Rolls-Royce and GE's Even more serious suppression, I would venture to ask everyone, have we not been suppressed by them before this? Who would not want to have no competitors?" Blacker asked Taylor with a smile.

Hearing his words, everyone immediately started whispering...

"Mr. Jon, because of you Boeing, we unilaterally tore up the agreement with the Chinese government, and we have already suffered huge economic losses, but now, you are rudely asking us to join you in putting pressure on Rolls-Royce, so that They refuse to export civil engines for short-range aircraft to the Chinese market, don’t you think it’s a bit too much?” Regarding Boeing’s proposal, Airbus General Manager Enfit stared at Jon Carson dissatisfied.

For this matter, he felt that it was completely unnecessary.

Giving up the Chinese market at the beginning has already cost them a lot.But this guy in front of them convinced Boeing's board of directors that decisions from the board of directors are not something that middle managers like them can decide.

After withdrawing from the Chinese market, although Airbus has obtained some benefits from the Chinese market, it is far from Boeing's huge benefits.

"Mr. Enfit, are you willing to see a local competitor in the Chinese market? According to the habits of the Chinese, how much market share can we have by then?" Jon smiled, "Although we are competitors , but have the same interests in the Chinese market. Only when the Chinese are unable to produce large aircraft can the interests of both of us be maximized..."

"Is that the maximization of your Boeing's interests? Because of our price problem, the Chinese have now started to design and manufacture regional airliners by themselves. If we hadn't torn up the agreement back then, your McDonnell Douglas aircraft would still be produced by the Chinese. China What would people do like this?" Enfit said with a sneer.

If it wasn't for the decision of the company's board of directors, he wouldn't be sitting here talking to Jon about this matter at all.The executive vice president of the group company, Portia Kerente, came here to have an urgent consultation with the president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes Group, Costolo, for the same reason.

After all, Boeing is the leader in civil aviation. Although Airbus is their strong market competitor, their sales are simply not comparable to Boeing.

It has nothing to do with how high-level officials negotiate.

But for the market, Enfit is unwilling to be forced to resign like he did when he took office.

"As long as the Chinese don't have an engine, can they produce a plane that can fly into the sky?" Jon laughed all over his face. It's not that he looks down on the Chinese, but that the Chinese are like this in his mind.

"Hehe, Jon, on this matter, unless you can convince our board of directors again, Rolls-Royce cannot give up the traditional market of China because of our pressure. Many of their aircraft use Rolls-Royce's engines..." En Feite will never tell Jon that because of his arrogance, China has a huge purchasing group that is plotting to visit Europe to purchase the Airbus a330.

"If we want to restrict the Chinese from engaging in this industry by themselves, we can only make them feel that buying our aircraft is far cheaper than developing their own!" (To be continued...)
