Smart Industrial Empire

975 Airbus' sensible man

"You mean we don't participate in Boeing's suppression of Chinese people?" Portia looked at the general manager of the marketing department in front of him suspiciously, which was not in their interest. "

Even if the Chinese can produce regional aircraft, even if they can only produce regional aircraft, it will have a great impact on their interests.

Not only is this not a market opportunity for them, but it will cause them to lose the regional aircraft business in the domestic market.At present, what China lacks the most is not only the main line passenger aircraft, but also the demand for regional aircraft. There is basically no market for domestically produced regional airliners.

After all, the transportation capacity is too poor, not only transporting too many goods at one time, but also unable to carry too many passengers in the future.

"Yes, not only can't suppress the Chinese people, but we have to support their project." Enfit said seriously. "Especially Yun Fei from China who used his own assets to build a large aircraft project for their country. Even if he becomes our competitor, we should have a good relationship with him..."

"Why is this? What Costolo said is not unreasonable. Once they reach a cooperation agreement with the Chinese government, this young man's money will basically be wasted..." Regarding Enfit's opinion, Portia looked I became more puzzled. "What's more, our major shareholders are the governments of several major European countries. Britain, France, and Germany do not have a good relationship with the Chinese government."

Airbus unilaterally tore up the cooperation agreement with the Chinese people, authorized the assembly of their aircraft in the country and stopped it at the very beginning. Although this is the operation of the Boeing research team, it has nothing to do with the relationship between the governments of these countries Well, for a good reason.

One of the backgrounds for Airbus to tear up the contract is that the island that was leased by the British for a hundred years was taken back by the Chinese in 97!

"There are no eternal enemies between countries, only eternal interests. Americans have become more and more powerful over the years, and European countries are about to change their relationship with their governments. China is joining the bilateral negotiations between the World Trade Organization and European countries. Huge progress speaks for itself. And right now. The most active in preventing China from joining the World Trade Organization is the United States. Europe needs cheap goods from China, and the United States also needs..." Enfitt knew that to persuade the board of directors to accept his opinion , first you have to convince Portia.

As long as Portia disagrees with the Americans' proposal, he will help himself convince the board of directors.

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the relationship between countries, right? Moreover, although we are at a disadvantage from the American proposal, as they said, we can avoid letting the Chinese people take advantage of the fierce competition in the country..." Bo Sia was completely confused.

"Before Yunfei started the big aircraft project, the old man who scared the world personally wrote for him. Do you think the Chinese government will support it? Moreover, before their project started, the design team had already started operations, Chinese people All aircraft designers are under the control of the state, but this young man has formed a design team of more than 200 people in a short period of time, and the chief designer is the Yun-[-] project that the state has announced its death a few years ago Chief designer Ma Fengshan, Mr. Portia, can't these explain the problem?" Enfit had a smile on his face.

The degree of importance that the country's high-level officials attach to this matter is definitely not what it advertises to the outside world.

Hear Enfit analyze the issue in depth.Portia suddenly felt that his jaw could no longer be closed: "Aren't there many people in the government of the United States holding him back? How could they strongly support it!" He really couldn't believe this.

When negotiating the equity issue of the large aircraft project, Yun Fei had a very unpleasant dispute with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Shanghai stock market government, which can be found out with a little effort.

The Chinese are not monolithic.What's more, many of their officials don't have much vision, and they can be bought with some favors.After all, in the country.The cost of officials committing crimes is so low that even if they are found out, they will not be punished too harshly.

The guys who got kicked out of the official ranks.Simply because they offended people.

"It's not the local government officials who make the decisions. Moreover, it's very likely that the Chinese are just acting. Thinking from the perspective of the Chinese, it is impossible to make these scandals public unless they are exposed. But This time, a young private boss rode on top of the most powerful department in their country, and the Chinese people took the initiative to disclose their scandals to the world! This is completely inconsistent with the Chinese people's long-standing style!" Enfit's face Ripple smiled.

These Chinese people always like to play such tricks.

Don't they think everyone in the world is stupid?

"What's their purpose in doing this? It doesn't seem to be in their interests..."

"This is something I have been unable to figure out. But now I have figured it out. The Chinese regional aircraft engines did not conduct conventional bidding, but directly chose to talk to GM. When GM ignored them, they did not Go to the Pratt & Whitney Engine Company who took the initiative to contact them, and when the people from GM told them that they were going to cooperate with them, they put aside the ongoing negotiations with Pratt & Whitney and returned to Fairfield again!" Enfit said to It is not too early to know these news, and the inside story of the negotiation is not too clear, "The goal of the Chinese people is the F34 engine of General Motors. This engine is a regional airliner engine with dual airworthiness certificates from the United States and Europe."

"You mean that Chinese people are already eyeing the world market before the aircraft samples are produced? Is this possible? How many countries in this world will believe in their manufacturing technology? It is okay for Chinese people to produce some light industrial products, but it is necessary It is simply impossible to produce these advanced technological equipment..." Portia, like all those who look down on China's cutting-edge manufacturing industry, does not believe that Chinese people dare to enter the world market in these top-level manufacturing fields, "and, in this way, they become The opportunity for our competitors is greater..."

"Chinese people have the cheapest manufacturing cost in the world. Back then we invested billions of dollars to produce the prototype of the 300 aircraft. Before that, Chinese people could only produce ten-ton small aircraft. While we were successful , They also succeeded, and they only spent less than [-] million U.S. dollars!" Enfit's words immediately silenced Portia.

In terms of cost, the cost of Chinese people is outrageously low.

This is something the whole world cannot learn.At the same time, Chinese people also waste research funds to an outrageous degree, but they are able to develop some new technologies at the lowest cost in the world.

Cost is the most important core competitiveness in this era.

Once the Chinese develop a regional airliner and put it into market operation, even if their technology is not very good, as long as the safety of the aircraft can be high, they will still get a lot of orders.The operating costs of airlines are basically the highest in the world.

In Africa, South America, Asia, and West Asia, the purchase of aircraft is not based on whose aircraft has better performance, but whose aircraft is more cost-effective.Not all countries are as rich as European and American countries.

Portia couldn't refute what Enfit said.

Boeing has absolutely no peace of mind in the Chinese market, and now is the most obvious example.

What's more, the two companies are competitors, and it is impossible to tell each other the core technology of any aircraft model. Jon Carson proposed to establish a joint venture factory in China. Obviously, it was a proposal with evil intentions.

For such a thing, Portia couldn't help but be careless.

A little carelessness, and his idea of ​​becoming the next chairman of the board of Airbus will fall through.

But at this time, it is not something someone like him can do to support the Chinese people in the aircraft industry.This is completely an awkward behavior for himself, and Portia can't do it anyway.Therefore, it is impossible for him to agree to Enfit's proposal to support Chinese people to build large aircraft.

Although building a good relationship with the Chinese could get them a lot of orders for mainline airliners, Portia really didn't have the guts to propose it to their board of directors.

However, Portia would never have imagined that Enfit would dare to write an email to the board of directors specifically for this matter.

The only largest cooperation negotiation between Boeing and Airbus ended in failure, which is completely good news for Yunfei and others.

"Yunfei, the negotiation between Boeing and Airbus has broken down. This is good news for us. Why are you still so unhappy?" Wang Zixin really couldn't figure out what Yunfei was thinking.

After knowing such good news, not only was there no joy, but a look of sadness.

"What kind of good news is this for us? Could it be that their cooperation negotiations have broken down, and the people of Boeing will not suppress us? Look at the strong aviation industry foundation in Ukraine, which has not been able to make any tricks until now, you know How much they suppressed competitors..." Yun Fei sighed.

Women have long hair but short knowledge.

It was impossible for Wang Zixin to think of what kind of crisis was hidden in these things.

Maybe she was just instinctively delighted. (To be continued..)
