Resource Tycoon Reborn

"Congratulations to Mr. Fang, congratulations to Mr. Fang!" As soon as they met, Meyers said to Fang Mingyuan in Chinese with a bit of a European accent, "Master Fang never announced this kind of happy event in advance, so I came here empty-handed.

I’m so sorry!”

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "If Manager Meyers is serious, your company will give me a big gift today. Please sit down!"

Meyers laughed "haha" a little guiltily and sat down opposite Fang Mingyuan.

"Manager Meyers is here today, but do you have any new plans?" Fang Mingyuan changed his position on the sofa and crossed his legs.

Meyers looked at Fang Mingyuan carefully. He felt that Fan Mingyuan seemed to be a little unhappy. Who on this happy day had offended him?

Thoughts were swirling in his mind, but he said with a normal smile: "Young Master Fang is indeed wise. It is indeed a new cooperation plan sent from the headquarters. I will send it to you." As he said that, Meyers took off his clothes from his pocket.

He took out a document from his briefcase and placed it in front of Fang Mingyuan.

Fang Mingyuan picked it up casually, glanced at it a few times, and his eyes couldn't help but get a little bigger. Meyers, who had been observing him intently, couldn't help but feel secretly happy. It seemed that the headquarters' proposal this time had a way!

In the new plan sent to Airbus headquarters, the price of the aircraft is still 20% off, but it has made substantial compensation in other aspects. For example, Airbus promised to improve personnel training, aircraft maintenance and business operations.

Cooperation and many other aspects give Fangjia special top customers

Airbus is also willing to hand over some parts of its Airbus aircraft to Fang's companies for production, and even establish a joint venture with the Fang's in China. And the Fang's airline is developing European routes.

, Airbus will actively provide assistance, etc.

As Fang Mingyuan watched, he thought to himself that Airbus's concessions seemed to be a considerable compensation to the Fang family, but if he was serious about it, it would be more reliable to help open up European routes.

Fang Mingyuan really doesn't attach too much importance to personnel training, aircraft maintenance and business cooperation. He relies on the mainland and Hong Kong, and he has a certain network of contacts in Japan, the United States, South Korea, Russia and Southeast Asian countries. In the future, aircraft

The size of the team will definitely not be lower than that of Cathay Pacific Airways, and it will not be a matter of time before top customer treatment is given.

As for Airbus’ willingness to hand over some parts to Fang’s companies for production

This seems to be a good thing, but the only one under the Fang family that can manufacture aircraft parts is Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, and Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group is currently cooperating with Boeing. If Fang Mingyuan nodded in agreement

Next, let’s not talk about whether Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group currently has spare production capacity. At least it will definitely make Boeing Company unhappy.

Even if the Fang family starts from scratch and establishes a joint venture with Airbus for production, how easy will it be to establish a civilian passenger aircraft manufacturing enterprise in China? How can China Aerospace Industry Corporation and the National Development and Reform Commission allow themselves to do whatever they want. And like this

If we do, Boeing will stop stumbling upon Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group’s business?

In the future, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group will not rely on anyone, but currently it cannot do this.

Fang Mingyuan casually threw the document on the coffee table in front of him and said: "Manager Meyers, your company and Boeing are really good competitors. The compensation plan you proposed to me can be said to have no essential difference."

Meyers smiled and said: "Master Fang, our Airbus company is more sincere than Boeing."

Fang Mingyuan curled his lips, cursing in his heart that there was bullshit sincerity. Whether it was Boeing or Airbus, they had always criticized the Chinese people at the beginning. China's large aircraft project was difficult to succeed. Of course, it was because of China's weak technological foundation and insufficient capital investment.

Only a fool would believe that Boeing and Airbus are not doing anything behind the scenes. "Compared with the big pie your company has painted for me in the future, at least Boeing and we already have the MD90 cooperation project."

Meyers chuckled and said: "Master Fang, to put it bluntly, the MD90 project is not a cooperation project between Boeing and you, but a cooperation project between McDonnell Douglas and you. As far as we know, this project

, although more than 70% of the parts and components can be manufactured by your country, although the quality of the products has reached the qualified standard, the manufacturing cost is so high that even your country’s own airlines

I don’t want to use it. I said that right, right?”

Fang Mingyuan waved his hands indifferently and said: "So far, the entire project has only produced two products. It is probably too early to say the manufacturing cost. I heard that your company suffered losses for many years in a row. It is said that the most tragic

At that time, there was no order for an aircraft for eighteen months? There were more than a dozen aircraft that had been built but they could only sit on the tarmac and let the wind and rain rain? Manager Meyers, I don’t know whether this news is true or false.

?”

Meyers' face turned red. Of course what Fang Mingyuan said was true. It was a pain that Airbus could never erase. When Airbus was first established, even European airlines were unwilling to use the aircraft they produced. In

In the eighteen months from 1976 to the end of 1977, not a single order had been received. At one time, sixteen aircraft were for sale on the tarmac at the company's headquarters! Airbus lost almost twenty years before turning a profit.

Year, the total loss reached nearly 10 billion US dollars!

"Furthermore, didn't your company announce that it will also develop a new model of the A380? The investment is eight billion euros, right? If we say that when two A380s are just produced, let me calculate the manufacturing costs for your company.

If so, wouldn't it be possible for me to say that the cost of your company's products is too high? One aircraft costs more than four billion euros. If you buy Boeing's aircraft, you can buy fifty or sixty of them to form a fleet?

"Fang Mingyuan continued.

Meyers said dissatisfiedly: "Master Fang, please note that after our company announced the development of the new A380 aircraft, our company has received orders for up to sixty-five aircraft, and now, the number of orders our company has received

There are already more than eighty! This is completely different from your company’s products.”

"It's just an order, and it may be canceled or delayed at any time. Oh, by the way, how many orders have your company had in the near future that have been canceled and how many aircraft have been delayed in delivery?" Fang Mingyuan immediately asked, "And Qin Xi

As long as the quality of the MD90 produced by the aviation manufacturing group reaches the standard, Qinxi Airlines will receive one after it is produced! At least until thirty new aircraft are built, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group does not have to worry about no company receiving the products. And

I’m afraid you and I can’t tell what the MD90 will look like after thirty aircraft!”

Meyers was a bit overwhelmed by Fang Mingyuan's words and didn't know what to say. Of course, on the one hand, Meyers knew that McDonnell Douglas Aircraft, although it later occupied an increasing share of the international civil passenger aircraft market,

There were few until it was finally absorbed by Boeing, but it still had its own uniqueness. McDonnell Douglas can be said to be a pioneer in the U.S. military aviation industry. It had already been involved in the military aviation industry before World War II. It produced

It has produced many classic fighter aircraft in the U.S. Air Force, including the F5 Eagle fighter and the A-18 Hornet fighter attack aircraft. From the late 1950s, it began to get involved in the manufacturing of civilian passenger aircraft. There are more than 2,000 McDonnell Douglas aircraft in use by airlines around the world.

Flying in the blue sky, in the history of flight, McDonnell Douglas aircraft have never disintegrated, but other companies' models have. It can be said that the technical content of its aircraft structure and design is still very high.

In particular, the engine of the McDonnell Douglas aircraft is set at the tail, and the fuselage is streamlined, slender, with low resistance, good power performance, low noise, and very graceful flight traces and posture. It is well-known in the international civil aircraft manufacturing industry.

Known as the "Beautiful Man in the Sky".

Even later, although McDonnell Douglas's aircraft were not as good as those of Boeing and Airbus, from a global perspective, its technology was still quite advanced for being able to produce short- and medium-distance passenger aircraft. If we say that Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group can

If it really manufactures cheap and high-quality products, and has obtained air licenses from the United States and Europe, it can definitely enter the global civil passenger aircraft market. And once it can get a large number of orders from other than Qinxi Airlines, it will mean success.

!

Is this possible? Meyers wanted to say, absolutely impossible! Neither Boeing nor Airbus will ever allow a new civilian airliner manufacturing company to break the current monopoly of the two civil airliner international markets!

However, many times, thinking is one thing, but actually doing it is another! When Boeing agreed to restart the MD90 project in China, it probably did not expect that the seemingly stable global civil passenger aircraft market would actually change due to the June 28

A terrorist attack occurred and was thrown into chaos.

On the other hand, due to Fang Mingyuan's sharp questions, Meyers has rarely encountered someone like Fang Mingyuan who pokes his heart straight into his heart over the years in China. He has become accustomed to the tactful way Chinese people speak to him.

.This problem can be said to be Airbus’ current

The most troublesome thing is that orders for hundreds of aircraft have been either canceled or delayed. In the second half of the year for Airbus, so far, if the production speed is not slowed down, it is likely that there will be at least more than 20 aircraft.

An aircraft is produced and no one takes delivery of it.
