Resource Tycoon Reborn

Of course it was not a coincidence, Fang Mingyuan deliberately arranged for the two of them to get together, but in such a dramatic way, the two parties actually arrived in Fengyuan less than an hour apart. This was something Fang Mingyuan had never thought of beforehand.

When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins! The ancients have long taught us how to maximize our own interests.

Airbus and Boeing can be said to be the two giants in the aircraft manufacturing industry. Customers are God. This is true, but even internationally renowned airlines often rely on these two companies.

Those who have a hard time getting by, let alone an airline like Fan Mingyuan that is still under preparation.

Therefore, if we do not seize every possible opportunity to maximize our own interests, and wait until the crisis faced by the two giants has passed, the world shipping industry has recovered, and the demand for passenger aircraft has increased significantly, then we will not be able to purchase passenger aircraft.

It’s about price. The two giants also rank their customers based on their seniority, and the needs of some airlines are always given priority by them.

In Fang Mingyuan's character, he always either doesn't do anything or is a typical example. As a reborn person, if he doesn't have any self-confidence at all, he might as well find a place to draw circles.

Now that he has set foot in the air transport industry, the industry entry threshold that others in China only dream of has been easily crossed, Fang Mingyuan will never achieve his goal just for fun, not to mention the airlines under the Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group in Hong Kong and China.

It will form a very good complementary effect. Just to get Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group on the right track as soon as possible, it is worth his efforts.

Moreover, this is also a rare opportunity, an opportunity for him to naturally introduce Airbus products to new airlines!

Many airlines in the world coexist with models of Airbus and Boeing, but the proportions between the two are different. Even the domestic airlines in the United States are no exception. At first, Fan Mingyuan was interested in

This is very incomprehensible. Because as far as he knows, although the products of Airbus and Boeing are both passenger aircraft, there are still considerable differences in the electronic equipment and cockpits used.

The same aircraft manufacturer often considers using roughly the same cockpit configuration or system configuration for its own company's aircraft of different models in different periods. In this way, the biggest benefit for airlines is that it can reduce operating costs.

The pilots hired by the company only need to receive short-term aircraft type conversion training and can operate other aircraft models with the common cockpit system. If a pilot who is used to flying Airbus passenger planes is asked to fly a Boeing passenger plane, he will be able to operate it in a considerable amount of time.

If you are not used to it for a long time and cannot get started quickly, this will increase the company's training costs.

Moreover, there are obvious differences in the maintenance of passenger aircraft of the two major companies. This means that the airline must prepare two sets of maintenance systems, which undoubtedly increases the company's operating costs.

Using a single aircraft model to build a fleet will continue to expand as the company scales, and its low-cost advantage in operation will become an important basis for the company's continued profitability. Moreover, in this way, Boeing or Airbus will also favor it.

With the addition, it is possible to provide a comprehensive service plan covering technical support, spare parts procurement, operational standards, airline marketing and personnel training. This is undoubtedly beneficial to the development of airlines.

But now Fang Mingyuan doesn't think so anymore. Although the company's operating cost of building a fleet of two different models is much higher than building a fleet of a single model, from another perspective

, this also means not putting eggs in the same basket, thereby avoiding being too controlled by one company.

Moreover, this is also a political balance. When the relationship between the United States and China is good, the government purchases more Boeing passenger planes, and when the relationship between the United States and China is tense, the government purchases more Airbus passenger planes, and vice versa.

Likewise. More importantly, in this way, the initiative is in your own hands.

In fact, many people have mentioned this issue to him. Some people think that a single model is better, while others think that both Boeing and Airbus should purchase it. However, before the June 28 incident, Fan Mingyuan said that if he wanted to introduce

Airbus's fleet had to take into account Boeing's reaction. So the idea at the time was to use Boeing's fleet first and wait until after September 11 to find a suitable opportunity.

But now, he no longer has to look for the right opportunity, the opportunity comes to him on his own initiative.

Fang Mingyuan had just walked back to his study, picked up the tea and had a few sips when Meyers and the others had already arrived at the gate of the house.

After some polite greetings, Meyers and Dellavedova followed Fang Mingyuan to the small reception room, while the others were arranged to stay in a hotel in the ancient city.

"Master Fang, I have admired your name for a long time, but it's a pity that I only have the honor to meet you today! This is really in line with the saying in your country that being famous is not as good as meeting you, and meeting you is worse than being famous!" Meyers, who has been in China for many years, can He is said to be a master of China and speaks fluently about Beijing movies, which can even make some Chinese people ashamed.

"Mr. Meyers' words really flatter me!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "I'm just an ordinary person."

Meyers shook his head repeatedly and said: "Young Master Fang, you are too polite. You can promote the restart of the MD90 project that has been stopped. This is not what an ordinary person can do."

Fang Mingyuan chuckled and said: "Mr. Meyers, it was not me who promoted the MD90 project. I just chose one side among the two sides in the stalemate and gave it a push. Has your journey here been smooth?"

"It's okay, I just had to wait for a while when taking off. Your Capital Airport in Beijing is really too busy. In my opinion, the Beijing government should not only expand the Capital Airport, but also build a new airport!" Meyers

He said with a deeply touched look, "Every time I go there to take a flight, it's a kind of torture for people like me who like to be quieter! There are just too many people."

Fang Mingyuan nodded with the same feeling. When Prince Abdullah and Prince Maktoum gave him a business jet, he accepted it half-heartedly because he really couldn't stand the huge flow of people at various airports in China.

And low efficiency! The speed is obviously much higher than that of trains, but as the Huaxia Railway continues to increase its speed and some high-speed railways begin to operate, people are increasingly discovering that in many cases, planes are not as fast as trains for short and medium distance journeys!

Meyers complained a few words about the current situation of China's aviation industry, and then turned to the topic. First, he congratulated Fan Mingyuan on the successful establishment of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group and Pingchuan Petroleum Group, and then mentioned that Fan Mingyuan was going to establish a company in Hong Kong.

The new airline expresses Airbus' willingness to provide products and services for it.

"If Mr. Fang chooses us, our company will provide your company with comprehensive services such as personnel training, technical support, spare parts procurement, airline marketing, etc. And in only half a year, we can provide A318 to A340

We have multiple aircraft of multiple models serving your company. If Mr. Fang feels that time is tight, we can also provide Mr. Fang with aircraft for your company to operate in a short period of time. The price will definitely be the most favorable, but for this model

, the options may be smaller." Meyers said sincerely.

Fang Mingyuan smiled. To be honest, for airlines, the speed promised by Meyers is already very good. Companies like Boeing and Airbus can produce hundreds of aircraft every year and also take over several orders.

Orders for hundreds of aircraft. Under normal circumstances, unless you are buying second-hand passenger aircraft from other airlines, otherwise, you usually have to wait in line at the two major companies. Of course, airlines can also lease from those international airlines

The company first rents a batch of passenger planes for operation, and then returns the lease after the passenger planes it ordered arrive.

And this time is enough for an airline that has not yet been officially established. After all, the airline's various tasks are still in the preparation process and are still being coordinated with all aspects involved. Regardless of

Whether it is personnel training or the routes for the first flight, it has not been determined at all. It would be very good to be officially opened for operation before the end of the year.

"Mr. Meyers, if that's all, it's not enough!" Fang Mingyuan shook the index finger of his right hand and said, "Boeing Company has promised me that if it purchases up to five aircraft, including five aircraft, it will provide

I’ll give you a 20% discount, if you buy five or more..."

Fang Mingyuan lengthened his voice, and Meyers and Dellavedova, whose expressions changed slightly, both turned their eyes to his face, and then said: "Give me a 30% discount. Can your company do the same?"

"How much?" Dellavedova almost jumped up on the spot. Is Fang Mingyuan just talking nonsense? Can Boeing give him a 30% discount? What kind of international joke are you kidding? If it is sold at this price, Boeing will be able to protect its capital.

, there is no profit left.

"Matthew! How can Mr. Fang be the kind of person who talks nonsense? Why don't you apologize to Mr. Fang?" Meyers said with a serious face. Although he was also surprised in his heart, he was not like Dellavedova.

Show it clearly.

"I'm sorry!" Dellavedova quickly stood up and apologized to Fang Mingyuan.

Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and said: "It seems that Mr. Meyers' assistant feels a little unbelievable. Haha, to be honest with you two, the two directors of Boeing Company, Mr. Motiejunas and Mr. Crawford, are here now."

Fengyuan!”
