Resource Tycoon Reborn

ps: ps: There are some things at home that I have to do these days, so the update is not strong enough. I can only say that I am trying my best to adjust. I'm sorry.

On December 18, GE Capital Aviation Services announced in Fengyuan that it will purchase twenty MD90 passenger aircraft from Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group in the next three years! This news is like a shot in the arm.

Public opinion in China is boiling once again, and Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group has once again become the focus of Chinese people's attention. This move by GE Financial Aviation Services undoubtedly marks that the md90 passenger aircraft produced by Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group has

It has been initially recognized by the world passenger aircraft market! For many Chinese who have dreamed of large aircraft for many years, this is an event as big as the Shenzhou going to heaven!

On December 21, Gilchrist, President of GE Financial Aviation Services, flew to Hong Kong in person. Fang Mingyuan received him in his office at the headquarters of Kumho Film Group in Hong Kong. Also present were Kowloon Airlines

Company President Chen Jingtao.

"Fang, I have fulfilled my promise!" After sitting down, Gilchrist smiled and convinced the other members of the board of directors of GE Capital Aviation Services that he still spent a lot of time and took this opportunity to become a rapidly developing company.

The fact that Kowloon Airlines is the main supplier of leased aircraft is one of the important reasons for him to convince others.

"Haha, so I will fulfill my promise!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Mr. Chen of our Kowloon Airlines is already sitting here, and I assure you that under the same conditions, Kowloon Airlines will definitely

Prioritize leasing aircraft from GE Capital Aviation Services!”

"Master Fang's guarantee is our company's commitment. I can guarantee this to you, President Gilchrist." Chen Jingtao smiled. The Fang family is the major shareholder of Kowloon Airlines, holding 37% of the shares.

If we add the shares of the Guo family and the Zheng family, they will definitely control Kowloon Airlines. Moreover, it can be said that the Fang family opened the door for Kowloon Airlines to enter the mainland. Many of its overseas routes are

Fang Mingyuan obtained it through his influence. Therefore, Chen Jingtao's words were not polite words.

Gilchrist couldn't help but smile. With the promises of Fang Mingyuan and Chen Jingtao, most of his mission in this trip to Hong Kong was completed. After Chen Jingtao and Gilchrist agreed on a time to meet again, they left in a hurry

Well, Kowloon Airlines is in a period of rapid expansion. As the president, he naturally has a lot of things to do.

"Fang. Actually, I have one more thing to do when I come to Hong Kong this time." Gilchrist said with a smile.

"Huh? Please speak!" Fang Mingyuan said slightly surprised.

"After your company gets the order for these twenty passenger planes, it will definitely continue to expand production. Will your engine still use the V2500 series engine of International Aero Engines Company?" Gilchrist said with a smile, "According to me

As we know, International Aero Engines was not very friendly to your company before."

International Aero Engines Corporation is a joint venture established by Pratt & Whitney of the United States, Rolls-Royce of the United Kingdom, Japan Aero Engine Corporation, and MTU Aero Engines of the Federal Republic of Germany. The V2500 series engines are manufactured by International Aero Engines Corporation.

The only product. Used by the Airbus A320 series family and McDonnell Douglas MD-90 system passenger aircraft. After McDonnell Douglas was annexed by Boeing, most of McDonnell Douglas's production lines were changed to Boeing aircraft production lines, and the only one retained

The Boeing 717 that came down still uses products from Rolls-Royce. Therefore, International Aero Engines no longer produces the engine models required for the MD90 aircraft. It has switched to producing engines for Airbus's A320 series aircraft.

The first seventeen md90 aircraft manufactured by Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group were all powered by engines imported from that year. The engines needed for later production were ordered from the International Aviation Engine Company by Boeing Company. In order to buy

Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group spent a lot of effort to find these engines, and the price that International Aero Engine Company sold to Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group was nearly 20% higher than the price it paid to McDonnell Douglas back then! This is

Of course, there are reasons for the depreciation of the US dollar and Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group's insufficient purchasing volume, but more importantly, the International Aero Engine Company simply does not believe that Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group can become a success!

Fang Mingyuan blinked. After looking at Gilchrist for a moment, he laughed and said, "It seems that Kidd, do you have any good suggestions?" This was an unexpected surprise.

Gilchrist leaned forward and said: "We at General Electric Aircraft Engines are very willing to help your company solve this problem!"

Fang Mingyuan remained calm, but his pupils shrank slightly. Gilchrist's proposal was beyond his expectation. General Electric Aircraft Engine Company is also a world-renowned engine manufacturer. It can not only produce civilian passenger aircraft

Engines. Both Boeing and Airbus have used engines from General Electric Aircraft Engines. They also provide engines for a variety of U.S. fighter aircraft, such as the TF34 engines and C-5 used by the military A-10 "Thunder" attack aircraft.

The tf39 engine used by the "Galaxy" transport aircraft.

It would be a good thing if General Electric Aircraft Engine Company is willing to provide suitable engines for Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group's md90, thereby changing the status quo of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group being restricted by International Aviation Engines in terms of engines...

Gilchrist looked at the thoughtful Fang Mingyuan and felt a little uneasy. This proposal was indeed a bit abrupt, but Gilchrist believed that this was also an opportunity for General Electric Group!

The competition between the three major aero-engine manufacturers, General Electric Group, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce, can be said to have been around for a long time! However, among the three major manufacturers, no one can win an overwhelming victory.

It can be said that each receives five or eight years.

In order to expand its market share, General Electric Group is also actively cooperating with airlines in Brazil and Canada to provide engines for the regional airliners they develop. The situation of the md90 aircraft produced by Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group was reported back to GE Financial Aviation

After serving the company's headquarters, Gilchrist discussed the matter with the president of General Electric Aircraft Engine Company at a regular meeting of the group's senior executives. The president of General Electric Aircraft Engine Company immediately expressed his interest in Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group.

I hope to be able to contact you through Gilchrist to strengthen future cooperation between the two parties.

Gilchrist certainly understands the thoughts of his colleagues. If Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group can be pulled from the camp of International Aero Engine Company to the camp of General Electric Group, it will not only create another customer problem, but also poach

Competitors in the corner - International Aero Engines' major shareholders are Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce. The combined shares of the two account for more than 65% of the company's total shares!

More importantly, General Electric Aircraft Engines can take this opportunity to break into China's passenger aircraft manufacturing industry. Although China's passenger aircraft manufacturing industry is still in its infancy, it currently only produces MA-60 and md90 aircraft.

The output cannot be compared with the world-renowned aviation companies, but the future prospects cannot be underestimated.

China's aviation market will be a large market that is not inferior to the North American aviation market and the European aviation market. More importantly, this market has just started. If the average number of flights taken by Chinese people per year can reach the average level of developed countries, then

The number of aircraft China needs is an extremely astonishing number!

Although the current aviation manufacturing companies in the world, whether they produce mainline aircraft or regional aircraft, all want a share of this market, it seems that the Chinese do not want to give up their own aviation market.

Although the md90 produced by Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group is a project that has been discontinued by Boeing, this does not mean that it has no merits. It is just because it is positioned with a certain model of Boeing's aircraft.

It’s the same. Of course, Boeing gives priority to ensuring the production of its own “son”.

If Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group can really master the md90, it is not impossible to develop a passenger aircraft with its own intellectual property rights on this basis. In any case, although China's industrial system obviously lags behind developed countries, it is

It is one of the few countries in the world that has a very comprehensive industrial system and is able to produce its own military aircraft. It has been unable to build its own civilian passenger aircraft for so many years. It is not so much a problem of capability as it is a problem of the system.

But this time, the establishment and operation of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group made him feel that the Chinese people are serious this time, and the government has also delegated power, and Fang Mingyuan is also serious! The icing on the cake is always better than providing help when the time is right. This simple truth is universal.

Electric Aircraft Engine Company is also very clear. If it does not lay a solid foundation in advance, it may have to devote more energy and funds to compete with the other two companies in the future.

"Replacing an aircraft's engine is not a simple matter. It requires a lot of work." Fang Mingyuan said slowly, "Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group still has some problems if it wants to do this independently."

"This is not a problem. Our engineers at General Electric Aircraft Engines are happy to help your company complete this work. Moreover, please believe that the performance of the md90 aircraft will be better if it is replaced with our engine!" Gilchrist vowed,

"It will definitely not be inferior to International Aero Engine Company!" (To be continued...)
