Chapter 365 to Seattle

Aircraft manufacturing is not a lucrative industry. Its development cost is very high and its R & D and production cycle is very slow. This year, a billion US dollars is invested to start a new type of R & D project. Maybe three years later, a billion US dollars spent only to find changes in the Civil Aviation market, and immediately stop or change to other projects. This year, a hundred million US dollars is ordered to build an aircraft, maybe three years later, it can be produced To sell to others, if the middle dollar depreciates, the order may lose money after delivery. The industry seems to be very high-end and booming, but in terms of earning power, ten Airbus can't compare with one Google, twenty Airbus can barely match Facebook. The annual earning power of an apple company can match at least one Thirty Airbus.

It's just that those who make airplanes don't make money by selling mobile phones and computers. It's not even as good as a website to make money. We can imagine how hard the industry is. Even those who make world-class fighter planes and bombers can't say that, but in fact, they are not so bright. Although the government invests in research and development, it's because the products can't be exported or sold Because the R & D costs are not allowed to be exported at will, the government will pay for the R & D costs. When it comes to production, the enterprises will basically be responsible for their own profits and losses.

If the U.S. government gives Lockheed Martin 10 billion dollars to develop an F40 fighter, and Lockheed Martin develops it, suppose that an F40 sells for 1 billion dollars, the U.S. government says, "well, I'll give you 100 billion dollars, and order 100 first. Lockheed Martin will surely wave its hand and say," come on, though it's a billion dollars. " It's true that one hundred billion dollars is one hundred, but it will take a long time to make one hundred. In case of the devaluation of the middle dollar, the order of one hundred billion dollars will not only make no money, but also have to compensate for their own underpants.

In this case, the floating contract of the U.S. government must be obtained. That is to say, although the price is one billion dollars, the delivery must be re evaluated according to the currency value at that time and the purchasing power of one billion dollars when the contract is signed. If the currency depreciates, the purchase unit price will be increased. Only in this way can the profit be guaranteed.

Even if Zhang Yunfeng monopolizes all of the world's civil aviation airliners, it's not as profitable as Dongchen electronic's selling some universal airplanes, but Zhang Yunfeng still places it in a very important position. If he doesn't want to make money, he's going to give a breath. Even if he loses money, Zhang Yunfeng must also go on his own aircraft manufacturing project.

It is with this mentality that Zhang Yunfeng deliberately dug a big hole in front of Airbus and behind Boeing. What he can foresee is that once Airbus collapses, Europeans will never have the strength to continue to maintain Airbus's debt and loss operation. They were originally in a depression environment, and their automobile industry has suffered It's a big shock, and the economic situation is a little bit grim. If Airbus is down and they do it at the right time, I'm afraid that even if the price of cabbage sold by Europeans is Airbus, they will never rot in their own hands.

With this idea in mind, Zhang Yunfeng boarded his bbj2 business jet and took off from Zhonghai to Seattle, the United States, where Boeing headquarters and most of its production lines are located.

This time, Zhang Yunfeng's plan to go to the United States is open to the public, and the American media has carried out extensive reports on it for a long time. As far as the Americans are concerned, they think that Dongchen is a company with very good relations with the United States. When Dongchen automobile killed the four sides at the beginning, Dongchen took the lead in using the gentle March policy in the United States, which did not impact the local automobile manufacturing enterprises. However, the It's the cooperation with local enterprises, which makes Americans like Dongchen much more. Then, Dongchen aviation engineering signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Boeing, which makes Americans like Dongchen even more. Now, in the eyes of the American people, Dongchen is the best-known and most favorable overseas enterprise. This time, Dongchen will take the lead in the United States It is even more gratifying to the American people that the airline has opened the export business of Dongchen engine.

Some American media even said that Dongchen has become half of the local enterprises in the United States, and there has never been any Chinese enterprise or overseas enterprise. It can be highly recognized and respected in the United States. For Americans, it is like apple group from China, with a strong sense of amity.

Zhang Yunfeng doesn't care if he doesn't feel friendly. In fact, what he wants to earn most is foreign exchange. Working closely with American enterprises is of great benefit to his overall plan of making money. Who makes him the world's largest economy.

When Zhang Yunfeng's plane was about to land in Seattle, American media had already set up long guns and short guns near the runway of the airport. Even reporters from the tower reported on the spot. When Zhang Yunfeng's captain asked the tower to land, CNN's reporter excitedly said to the camera: "because of the super economy of the Dongchen aeroengine, now, not only is it It's Boeing, all American Airlines and all airports are waiting for the arrival of the person in charge of Dongchen. Seattle Airport is usually very busy. However, air traffic control gives the highest treatment to Dongchen special plane and gives it priority to land on runway 1. Every American airline can't wait to become the first overseas customer of Dongchen aviation engineering. The American aviation system thinks that This time, Dongchen's visit to the United States will usher in a new era for American Airlines. "

There are so many reporters around the runway. The camera is facing the sky and catching every plane in the sky. When the plane painted with the logo of Dongchen appears in the sky, all the cameras are aiming at the plane that is about to land. The scene is noisy.

Ten minutes later, the plane landed steadily on the runway. When Zhang Yunfeng stepped down from the plane, Boeing president Raymond and the mayor of Seattle took the lead in greeting him. Zhang Yunfeng and Raymond shook hands cordially, which gave people the feeling of being friends in battle with life and death. The pictures of the two shaking hands and laughing at each other were published in major newspapers and newspapers across the United States on the same day Media, American media all call this day a milestone to change American Civil Aviation. However, not long after that, they dug up this picture again and called it a milestone to change global civil aviation

U.S. government officials seldom participate in business activities, especially when foreign enterprises come to China, few of them come to the airport to meet them in person. Gilberto, mayor of Seattle, is also the first time in the world. He used to meet senior officials and foreign dignitaries in Washington at the airport, but it was the first time to meet the heads of foreign enterprises, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all After all, Dongchen group is the top company in the world in terms of market value and profitability.

After a grand welcome ceremony at the airport, Zhang Yunfeng did not accept an interview with reporters, but simply delivered a speech at the airport, the content of which was very simple, nothing more than his main purpose of coming to the United States this time, and said some good wishes for closer cooperation with American enterprises.

After that, Zhang Yunfeng went directly to the headquarters of Boeing in Seattle with the team of Boeing. Raymond first accompanied Zhang Yunfeng to visit the production line of Boeing in Seattle. Boeing is indeed the largest aircraft manufacturer in the world. The magnificent momentum of the production line is incomparable with other industrial manufacturing enterprises. Among them, all kinds of advanced equipment, even Zhang Yunfeng also has no ability to get it.

Raymond accompanied Zhang Yunfeng to visit the production line of Boeing 7478, and said: "the aircraft ordered by Dongchen will be delivered next month, just don't know when the big thrust engine of Dongchen will be offline?"

Zhang Yunfeng said with a smile: "the DC2 series engine will be offline next month, which can meet the needs of Boeing 7478, 767, 777, 787 and other large and medium-sized airliners. The fuel economy will not be inferior to that of dc11, and it is fully qualified for the 180 minute ETOPS standard, or even several times better than it. It is absolutely the best choice for international trans ocean flights."

"Zhang, since Boeing signed the strategic cooperation agreement with Dongchen, all of our 737 orders have been changed to Dongchen engine configuration by users, and the production of Airbus A320 has dropped by half, but we have received more 737 orders. If the big thrust engine of Dongchen has also been successfully offline and obtained the airworthiness certificate, then Airbus will really It's time to die. "

"This is the role of strategic cooperation, but I hope Boeing will strictly abide by the additional agreement in the contract between our two sides and never sell the aircraft with Dongchen engine to the airlines of Japan and South Korea," Zhang said with a smile

"Boeing will never do anything against the contract, let alone we are strategic partners," Raymond said firmly

Zhang Yunfeng added, "by the way, remember to include Australia."

Raymond looked surprised and asked, "why should Australia be included?"

Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "you don't need to ask more, just add him in."

Raymond also heard that recently Dongchen universal stopped selling to Australia, and the whole world was guessing where Australia offended Dongchen. Although he didn't know the reason, he also knew Dongchen's attitude and style, so he nodded and agreed.

"How many orders do Australian Airlines have at Boeing?" Zhang asked

"Qantas alone has more than 20." "They have a fleet of about 200 aircraft, 75% of which are Boeing's airliners and freighters. There should be five of the 737 we are going to deliver, and there should be 787 in addition," Raymond said

Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said, "I think it's time for you to inform them. These planes will not be equipped with Dongchen engines."

Raymond nodded his head and said with a smile: "Australia has not been our main customer. Their digestion ability is far worse than that of Dong'ou airlines. We even gave up Dong'ou airlines and didn't care about them."

Zhang Yunfeng looked at Raymond and said with a smile: "Mr. Raymond, you don't want to say that you cut a piece of meat for Dongchen. Dongou has always been close to the United States. 80% of the planes in their airline fleet are made by Boeing. I just don't want you to sell them the planes with Dongchen engines. They are still ordering the original models and engines from you Configuration is the same in cold country, so you have no loss in Japan and South Korea. "

With a smile, Raymond said: "Zhang
