Chapter 676 Shock and doubts

It can only be said that Fang Mingyuan chose this time to be great! It was Airbus that actually threatened Boeing's market position. Therefore, in order to ensure China's market share and create trouble for Airbus, Boeing agreed to the MD90

The restart of the project. As for Airbus, firstly, it was fighting fiercely with Boeing and could not take care of the small shrimp of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group; secondly, even if it deliberately set up obstacles, it is now intentional but powerless.

In order to ensure the company's profits this year, even industry giants like Boeing and Airbus have to make some concessions.

"Master Fang, are you so confident?" Meyers said, "Thirty aircraft is not a small number!" Qinxi Airlines currently owns twenty-three MD series aircraft. If we want to receive three more,

With ten MD90s, the fleet size has exceeded fifty, which is already very large for an airline that mainly serves domestic routes.

"I have made a psychological plan that Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group will lose money for at least fifteen years." Fang Mingyuan seemed to be answering the question. Meyers was stunned and then showed a look of surprise. The large aircraft project represents a

The country's industrial level. Especially now, the threshold for entering this industry can be said to be getting higher and higher. Without sufficient funds and policy support, and without the determination to burn the boat, how can it be possible to succeed! From the very beginning, I have been thinking about making money.

Big money can only be found in fairy tales.

"If the information I have received is correct, if your company does not slow down the production speed this year, then at least twenty aircraft will be produced, but there will be no buyers. And if you slow down the production speed, there will be no buyers.

This means that your company's operating costs will increase significantly this year. Manager Meyers, I don't know, am I right?" Fang Mingyuan said.

Meyers smiled bitterly and said, "Since Mr. Fang already knows, why bother asking me again."

Fang Mingyuan then asked: "Will these twenty planes, placed on your company's airport, break the backlog record of the year? Or, has your company decided that it would rather bear a substantial increase in operating costs? Or,

After laying off a thousand employees, does your company plan to continue cutting employees?"

Meyers was silent for a moment and said: "If you have no choice, you can only lay off employees!"

"Then the governments of France, Germany, Spain and other countries, at this time, can they agree to your company's substantial reduction of employees?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Airbus is far less free than Boeing on this point. By then, which country's employees will

There will be a long war of words if we fire more or less. With the slowdown of the world economy, the unemployment rate in European countries is not low now. This is a major issue related to the stability of the current government in each country.

.

Meyers' mouth twitched. This guy simply said what he didn't want to hear. If European governments agreed to Airbus layoffs so easily, why would Airbus only lay off a thousand people? Boeing

In the first round of layoffs this year alone, the company laid off 15,000 employees, and the possibility of further layoffs has not been ruled out. Such large-scale layoffs have certainly had a considerable negative impact on Boeing's reputation.

However, it has actually reduced operating costs to better face the off-season sales in the next few years.

Fang Mingyuan did not expect him to answer his question directly, and continued: "Although your company does have many fewer employees than Boeing, and it was less affected by the June 28 terrorist attacks, Boeing has laid off employees.

With 15,000 people, the savings in operating expenses are also extremely considerable. It seems that the two of you are competing for the throne of the largest supplier of civil passenger aircraft. It is not certain who will win and who will lose."

Meyers forced a smile and said: "Young Master Fang, if you are still dissatisfied with the cooperation matters proposed by our company, I will be happy to answer it to the headquarters for you." Fang Mingyuan can no longer be allowed to say this.

After going down, I heard that I felt a little bit unmotivated.

Fang Mingyuan put down his legs, sat up straight, looked directly into Meyers's eyes and said: "Manager Meyers, please tell your company's management that you are already far behind Boeing in the Chinese aviation market.

The same is true here at Fang Mingyuan! If you want to get more orders from us, then show real sincerity! Otherwise, why should I bother!"

Meyers opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Fang Mingyuan continued: "Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group has reached a preliminary agreement with Boeing to outsource the fuselage and wing manufacturing business of Boeing 717 aircraft to Qinxi in the future.

Aviation Manufacturing Group. The formal agreement will be made public soon."

It was almost noon, and Meyers walked out of Fengyuan Airport under the scorching sun. He looked back sadly before getting in the car.

The Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group and Boeing Company reached an outsourcing agreement for the fuselage and wing manufacturing of the Boeing 717 aircraft, which had a great impact on him. This means that the Boeing 71 caused by the strike of workers at the Long Beach plant in California!

The slowdown in production has been initially resolved. Fifteen thousand people were laid off and most of the production of parts was outsourced to Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group. The remaining workers at the Long Beach plant in California must have no longer dared to cause trouble anymore.

What a strike.

Outsourcing the fuselage and wing manufacturing business of the Boeing 717 aircraft to Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group can be said to kill three birds with one stone. It has shocked the remaining workers at the Long Beach plant in California, reduced Boeing's cost of producing the Boeing 717, and at the same time also

It has narrowed the relationship between Boeing and Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, and also showed goodwill to the Chinese government.

Although Fang Mingyuan did not mention anything else, Meyers believed that Eric.

Nedovic has been talking to Fang Mingyuan for so long, and it is definitely impossible to limit it to outsourcing the fuselage and wing manufacturing business of Boeing 717 aircraft. Maybe... the two parties have other cooperation matters. Fang Mingyuan has no obligation.

, report all these to Airbus one by one.

As Fang Mingyuan just said, whether it is China's civil aviation market or its cooperation with Fang Family and Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, Airbus is currently lagging behind Boeing. If it cannot come up with some

If there is something that can really impress Fang Mingyuan, why should Fang Mingyuan choose Airbus?

The listing of Qinxi Airlines and Qinxi Airport Group Company is indeed a big event for Qinxi Province, but if you look at the whole country, it is only on the news at 7 o'clock in the evening, and it only lasts for tens of seconds to a minute.

It’s just a small piece of news. However, this does not mean that no one is paying attention.

Cathay Pacific general manager Julian.

Salinger has been paying attention to every move of the Fang family. The news that the Fang family, the Guo family, the Zheng family, and the Li family jointly established a new airline in Hong Kong has not been officially disclosed to the public, but it has already been announced in the industry.

It’s not a secret. As the leading company in Hong Kong’s aviation industry and the de facto monopolist, it will undoubtedly be the hardest hit in the future.

As a British-controlled aviation company, it controls Hong Kong's aviation industry. The Chinese government wants to "drive" it out of power. It can be said that it is not just a day or two. It has already done so as early as 1997.

, but the final result was that Cathay Pacific successfully controlled the other party and further strengthened itself.

However, in the face of the news that the Fang family, the Guo family, the Zheng family, and the Li family had jointly established a new company, Cathay Pacific Airways did not dare to be careless at all.

The influence of these four companies in Hong Kong, the Mainland and Southeast Asian countries cannot be ignored. Moreover, if it is a new company launched by the four, it must be quite abundant in funds. Although Cathay Pacific is an old airline

, but in the face of this challenge, there is no guarantee that we can win.

Moreover, nowadays, the international aviation industry has fallen into stagnation or even losses due to the impact of the June 28 terrorist attacks and the slowdown in global economic growth. Cathay Pacific Airways is naturally not immune to this situation and is also facing a significant decline in passenger flow.

situation. Without the secret backing of the British Hong Kong government, everything has to be done by oneself.

However, how to prevent the establishment of a new company, or in other words, how to suppress a new company after its establishment, let alone Julian.

Salinger had no clue. Even the British-owned group behind Cathay Pacific Airways also had no good solution.

According to common sense, backward airlines will always face various barriers when facing established airlines, and these barriers ensure the difficulty of entering the industry. For example, when the British Hong Kong government and the Chinese government signed the Hong Kong

As mentioned in the return agreement, new airlines must be established with local capital from Hong Kong, which is a barrier.

For another example, if emerging airlines want to obtain flight slots at Hong Kong Airport, they will undoubtedly have to pay more than Cathay Pacific.

For another example, Cathay Pacific's market share in Hong Kong determines its dominant position. The reason why Cathay Pacific finally took control of Dragonair was that Dragonair suffered losses for many years.

The original shareholders really couldn't support it anymore, so Cathay Pacific took advantage.

Although Cathay Pacific's position in the Hong Kong aviation market is now even better than it was back then, when I think about the future shareholders of the new company, there are the Fang family and the Guo family.

Shareholders, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart - just think of the miraculous rapid growth of Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. in the past two years, surpassing its peers, reaching the top in Asia, and becoming the company with the largest oil transportation capacity in the world.

One, many established oil transportation companies in developed countries have had to retreat from their brilliant achievements. They can't help but wonder whether similar opportunities have emerged in the aviation industry now? Otherwise, how could the Fang family and the Guo family decide?

Are you brazenly breaking into the aviation industry?
