Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

While everyone was paying attention to the sky-high $3 billion fine issued by the United States against Daystar Technology, an unexpected incident immediately diverted everyone's attention.

On March 8, 2014, a Boeing 777 passenger plane lost contact with the ground 38 minutes after takeoff, and has not been heard from since.

The 777 is a long-range wide-body airliner developed by Boeing in the 1990s. It is also the world's largest twin-engine jet airliner.

Its most notable feature is that it is equipped with a GE90 series engine that set a world thrust record, each main landing gear is equipped with six wheels, and a fully circular fuselage cross-section.

It was also Boeing's first passenger aircraft to use fly-by-wire flight controls.

It was such a very advanced passenger plane that disappeared inexplicably.

In fact, no one would believe that it disappeared inexplicably. It was just that the reason was not figured out.

After this incident happened, in the next two days, almost the entire Internet was filled with content related to this topic.

News about celebrity cheating has been suppressed.

Boeing is now a very important competitor of Daystar Technology in the world. Especially in the past few days, Daystar Technology has figured out that the huge US$3 billion fine in the United States was caused by Boeing behind the scenes.

New and old grudges, the contradiction between the two becomes even deeper.

In this case, Cao Yang would naturally not miss the opportunity.

"Judging from the current situation, it is very difficult to figure out the reason for the disappearance of this Boeing 777, unless Boeing is willing to fully cooperate."

"But it doesn't really matter what the actual situation is."

"We want everyone to believe that this incident has something to do with Boeing. We can even come up with some conspiracy theories, saying that Boeing was actively involved in the disappearance of this plane."

"Anyway, it's just to ruin Boeing's reputation."

Cao Yang directly gave instructions to Zhao Siyu.

In a business war, you must do whatever it takes.

Besides, many people now suspect that this matter has something to do with the design of the Boeing 777 or the Boeing company behind it.

There is no way for the other party to completely deny this.

Then let's all do it well.

"Mr. Cao, I have already arranged for people to take action."

"Boeing's passenger planes are not just in trouble now. There have been many accidents before."

"There are many problem cases even in China."

"I am going to sort out all these things and publicize them on the Internet, so that Chinese netizens and even netizens around the world can see clearly the quality problems of Boeing aircraft."

Zhao Siyu is not stupid and naturally knows that now is a good opportunity to deal with Boeing.

Although it can't kill people, it can still disgust them.

There are so many things that can be said about Boeing.

Various aviation accidents are more or less related to design problems or poor quality of the aircraft.

Then there is a lot that can be written about Boeing’s supply chain and the relationship between executives and American officials.

Thinking of this, Zhao Siyu continued: "Boeing is both an athlete and a referee, and many people are dissatisfied with it."

"In order to save money, the FAA has outsourced some of the aircraft safety certification work that should be performed by regulatory authorities to aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing since 2009."

"This can also be used to make a fuss."

"In the American governance system, almost all large companies are also major political donors, and Boeing is no exception."

"As one of the largest exporters in the United States, Boeing is also a part of the U.S. military-industrial complex and has long established intricate ties with relevant U.S. departments."

“Many officials in the United States have worked for Boeing, and even the former Secretary of Commerce was a senior executive of Boeing.”

"These are all facts. If we make good use of them, we can compile dozens or even hundreds of articles."

Zhao Siyu is very clear about the publicity capabilities of Nanshan-type companies.

He also knows that Weibo, Autohome and Nanshan Automobile Group have dedicated troll teams.

Even the power of these teams is not limited to China, but also has a certain influence on overseas websites such as Europe.

In this case, there is no problem in making good use of these resources and ruining Boeing's reputation.

Anyway, 90% of the articles I write are facts, and the other 10% are tendentious speculations based on facts.

Even if Boeing wanted to stand up and refute, it would be difficult.

Cao Yang is naturally very clear about these routines.

Even if Zhao Siyu didn't mention it, he would arrange for people to do it.

I would really be sorry for myself if I didn’t step on Boeing hard.

The best thing is to take this opportunity to promote the research and development of domestically produced passenger aircraft. When the time comes, COMAC will develop regional airliners such as the C919, and Daystar Technology will develop large trunk airliners.

In the future, Chinese airlines will no longer need to purchase aircraft from Boeing or Airbus.

Although there is no way to easily obtain airworthiness certificates, it will be difficult for these aircraft to enter the international market.

But China's domestic market alone has allowed them to live a good life for ten or eight years.

At that time, if we properly expand the market in places like Polar Bear and allow international routes to use domestically produced aircraft, COMAC and Daystar Technology can live a good life for a few years.

If after so many years, the United States and other places still do not issue airworthiness certificates to products such as the C919, then many rules can be put on the table to see if they can flip the table or start a new one.

The days when Western companies like Boeing set standards were industry standards. Sooner or later, these standards will be gone forever.

Of course, the premise is that COMAC and Daystar Technology are good enough.

Otherwise, everything is in vain.

…

The development and changes of various public opinions on the Chinese Internet have naturally attracted Boeing's attention.

The current Chinese passenger aircraft market is the market with the greatest potential in the world, and both Airbus and Boeing attach great importance to it.

The commercial airliner business accounts for more than 40% of the Boeing Group and contributes a large amount of profits.

Now that we are facing a crisis, Boeing naturally takes it very seriously.

Feeling that something was wrong with the development of public opinion, Boeing China immediately launched an investigation.

Not to mention, after some investigation, they more or less learned some things.

Even if there is no evidence or even incomplete understanding, as long as you know some information and combine it with various analyses, you can generally draw some conclusions.

As the general manager of Boeing China, Allen Ma reported to Global Vice President David without any hesitation.

"Public opinion on the Chinese Internet is overwhelmingly blaming Boeing. All kinds of messy articles are damaging Boeing's image. Now they have had a very bad impact."

"I have asked the Ministry of Justice to prepare relevant materials and give a good warning to some media so that they will not write anything indiscriminately."

“However, in addition to some articles that are hot topics, we found that there are companies behind some articles.”

"Daystar Technology is probably the mastermind behind this incident."

Although Ma Ailun did not give direct evidence, after briefly explaining what he learned during his investigation, David also felt that this matter was related to Daystar Technology.

This matter is also very simple. Just assume that you are in the other party's position. Will you do something at this time?

Without thinking too much, the answer is almost yes.

"Are you saying that Weibo, China's largest social media, is where Boeing gets the most negative news, and that Weibo and Daystar Technology are both Nanshan-based companies?"

Based on this alone, David believed that Daystar Technology must be behind the scenes.

Anyway, as long as you have this impression in advance, the facts are not that important anymore.

"Yes, Nanshan Group companies have a huge influence on Chinese Internet public opinion."

"They also own the largest film and television company in China. All the stars in it support the Nanshan Group. Their influence among Chinese netizens is also amazing."

"David, I think the company also needs to clarify some content, otherwise the situation will become more passive by then."

Ma Allen was obviously aware of the crisis.

Some things are true or false. If they are publicized a lot, everyone will think they are true.

At that time, it is likely to affect the performance of Airbus China Branch.

Ma Ailun was also thinking about whether he could receive more orders from various Chinese airlines.

"The company is already taking action, but this matter is a bit big, and there is no trace of the missing plane."

"The key is that the news coming out from all parties is mixed, and it gives us a headache."

David is also a little anxious now.

Any aviation accident is a major event for aircraft manufacturers.

If it happened in some relatively backward place, then with Boeing's influence, it would be easy to reduce the heat of the matter.

After a small amount of symbolic compensation, the matter will be settled.

But this time there were more than a hundred Chinese people involved in the plane, so the situation was different.

Especially against the background that the relationship between Boeing and Daystar Technology is very stiff, the situation is even more complicated.

David had a hunch that Boeing would be in trouble this time.

"Without information, there is no way to prove that this matter is directly related to the quality issues of the aircraft produced by our company."

"Maybe the pilot was retaliating against society or some other reasons. It's not necessarily the aircraft malfunction."

Allen Ma very much hopes to get Boeing out of this matter.

The best thing is to let everyone know that someone deliberately dragged people on the entire plane to achieve their own ulterior motives.

But it's obviously not that easy to do this.

In particular, public opinion on the Internet is very unfavorable to Boeing.

"At Daystar Technology, do you have any way to make them calm down?"

"At least don't cause trouble for us during this time."

David now regrets pulling the relevant departments to issue a sky-high fine to Daystar Technology.

This fine did not have a substantial impact on Daystar Technology. Instead, it completely put the other party on the opposite side of Boeing. He regards Boeing as his life and death enemy.

David had never seen such a hard-nosed Chinese company before.

However, there is no regret medicine to take now.

"It's difficult. I heard that Daystar Technology is working on large transport aircraft. They are also studying small business jets. I'm worried that they will directly enter the passenger aircraft business by then."

"After all, if large transport aircraft are being studied, it is not impossible for them to produce passenger aircraft."

"Relevant departments in China also very much hope to control the production business of passenger aircraft, which is very detrimental to us."

When Ma Allen said this, David couldn't help but frown.

If Daystar Technology wants to produce passenger aircraft, it will definitely be a catastrophic thing for Boeing.

Although Boeing has three major businesses, the commercial passenger aircraft business accounts for the largest proportion.

The domestic passenger aircraft market in the United States is actually relatively saturated, and the annual demand is relatively small.

In recent years, Boeing has made a good living mainly relying on the demand for passenger aircraft in emerging markets such as Asia.

If the needs here are taken away, that is absolutely unacceptable.

"Please pay more attention to this situation, and report to me in a timely manner once there is further news."

In David's opinion, this is indeed the time when Daystar Technology is most likely to cause trouble.

It is also a good time for them to enter the passenger aircraft market.

At this time, Boeing must be more vigilant.

…

China's various public opinion offensives and actions against Boeing are certainly not the only ones that can feel it.

During this period, people from General Motors and Ford Motors, who had fierce conflicts with Nanshan Automobile Group, also felt that "bystanders were aware of the situation".

"Exxon, have you noticed that Daystar Technology is now working with Boeing?"

"They are really tough."

"There is no company in China that dares to challenge our American companies like this."

Mulally was a vice president of Boeing before becoming CEO of Ford Motor Company. He is very concerned about a series of matters at Boeing.

Naturally, he also saw the news about the Boeing 777 accident during this period.

He also noticed some reactions from China.

In the past six months, Mulally has arranged for many people to focus on the actions of the Nanshan System, especially some actions on the Chinese Internet.

So some news about Boeing suddenly became popular on Weibo and other places, and many old stories about Boeing were even uncovered and widely publicized. He knew that someone was behind it to add fuel to the fire.

Whoever benefits is the biggest suspect.

If you speculate based on this logic and conduct targeted investigations, many clues will naturally emerge.

Therefore, it is normal for Ford to know that Venus Technology and Boeing are competing.

"Enterprises in the Nanshan Group are very special. The emergence of Nanshan Automobile Group has changed the pattern of the entire Chinese automobile industry."

"The emergence of Daystar Technology has subverted many people's understanding of China. I didn't expect that their private companies can actually produce such high-end products."

"Especially last year, they suddenly mastered the CH-47 heavy transport helicopter that other countries had not been able to master for decades."

"At the same time, we must continue to produce the CH-53, which is absolutely unacceptable to Boeing and other military giants."

"Today Daystar Technology can produce CH-47, and tomorrow it can produce more aviation products."

"In the future, Venus Technology may become China's Boeing and cause huge losses to the United States."

Exxon has some understanding of the situation of Daystar Technology.

After all, this company's global reputation is too high.

The world's first mass-produced recyclable rocket was developed by Venus Technology.

Then people also developed the Starlink satellite system, which caused a lot of things in the field of communications.

Not to mention the Twin-tailed Scorpion drones and micro-missiles.

People even have to prepare to build their own space station.

Historically, no company has prepared to build its own space station. Venus Technology has subverted many people's perceptions in the past.

Such a company is naturally the enemy of the United States.

"Yes, so it is actually completely correct for us to jointly promote a comprehensive crackdown on Nanshan enterprises."

"Even if we lose the Chinese market for this, it is still worth it."

"I think it is necessary to let more Americans know this truth and inspire their support for us."

"Otherwise, it will be more difficult for our stock price to return to its high point."

As the CEO of a listed company, whether it is Mulally or Exxon, he must consider the changes in the company's market value.

This is also closely related to their income.

Chinese people like to save money, while Americans want to invest in the stock market.

It can be said that the rise of the stock market is related to the core interests of Americans.

And having everyone recognize General Motors and Ford Motor's approach of suppressing Nanshan Automobile Group will be beneficial to increasing their stock prices.

As long as everyone recognizes this approach, it will be understandable that General Motors and Ford Motors lost the Chinese market.

"It really needs to be promoted well."

"And it's best to contact some other companies and let's work together to publicize the threat that Nanshan companies pose to the United States."

"The losses we have suffered in the process of our struggle are completely worth it." Exxon naturally supports Mulally's proposal. He even wants to make a bigger move. ... Airbus is also a company that has seen the story behind the conflict between Venustech and Boeing. However, their attitude is more complicated. As Boeing's main competitor in the world, Airbus has developed very rapidly in recent years and has posed a huge threat to Boeing. They have the European market and are also rapidly developing the Chinese market. It can be said that they are grabbing meat from Boeing's rice bowl. There will naturally be many conflicts between the two companies. Even the conflicts between them are no longer limited to the two companies, but have developed into some competition between the EU and the United States. For example, Boeing will jump out and accuse the EU of providing Airbus with some unreasonable subsidies, which really disrupts the market order. Airbus also stood up and accused the United States of giving Boeing some special treatment, which is unfair competition. Anyway, everyone is going back and forth, hoping to suppress the development momentum of the other party. However, everyone is a monster with a background, and it is definitely not so easy to suppress them.

In the end, a pattern of continuous competition and common development was formed.

Now that such an important model as Boeing 777 has a problem, the matter has become a hot topic.

Although there is no direct evidence that this incident was caused by the failure of Boeing 777, it is also very difficult for Boeing to prove that this incident has nothing to do with itself.

Normally, this incident is a good thing for Airbus.

After all, Boeing's aircraft has a problem, which means that more customers will consider buying passenger aircraft from Airbus during this period.

This is a good thing for Airbus.

However, the potential threat brought by the rise of Venustech cannot be ignored.

"Chen, when do you think China's own large aircraft project can be mass-produced?"

As the president of Airbus's civil aircraft business, Fabrice is naturally very concerned about the changes in the Chinese market.

Venustech is fighting fiercely with Boeing, and Shanghai Commercial Aircraft is developing regional airliners such as C919.

So what attitude should Airbus take towards this confrontation? Fabrice is a little unsure.

Should we follow the steps of Venustech and step on Boeing, or sit on the mountain and watch the excitement from the side?

Or should we help Boeing and prevent the rise of China's large aircraft business?

Without clarifying the actual situation, Fabris felt that it would be difficult to make a decision.

"According to the current situation, Shanghai Commercial Aircraft Corporation was only established in 2008. Although it has been 6 years, it has not produced even a prototype."

"So before 2020, I think their C919 is unlikely to enter the stage of large-scale mass production."

"As for Venustech, they previously announced that they would study large transport aircraft, but they have not announced more news."

"No news, I think it may be that the project has not made any specific progress."

As the general manager of Airbus China, Chen Jumin is naturally very concerned about the development of domestic passenger aircraft business.

However, he is obviously not particularly optimistic about the development of this business.

China's large aircraft has not been started in recent years.

To be precise, the project was established decades ago, but it was eventually discontinued for various reasons.

Although it has been re-established, it is not easy to re-establish a large passenger aircraft without experience in this area.

Why are only Boeing and Airbus doing well in this area in the world?

Others, even polar bears, are far inferior. There must be reasons and thresholds.

For Shanghai Commercial Aircraft Corporation, not to mention other things, it is very difficult to solve the difficulties in aviation engines alone.

In addition, the accumulation of a series of parts such as avionics systems in China is relatively weak.

At least Chen Jumin thinks so.

That's why he gave that reply.
