Resource Tycoon Reborn

Fang Mingyuan's eyes lit up. Ivanovic's proposal was feasible. Selling the passenger plane to Russia, and then the Russians selling it to the Iranians, has nothing to do with Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company. Although Russia has the same strength as

The former Soviet Union cannot be compared, but Lao Maozi is not afraid of the Americans, and still confronts the Americans in many areas. As an important ally of Russia in the Middle East, Iran also ensures that Russia can have sufficient influence in the Middle East.

It is reasonable for an important chess piece of strength to jump out and pull this red line. However, is this matter really that simple?

Sidi Kormani looked at Fang Mingyuan, waiting for the other party's answer with some anxiety. It can be said that Iran Air is almost at the end of its rope. Years of international sanctions have made it difficult for Iran to purchase new passenger planes from the United States and Europe, and other

Most of the existing passenger planes were purchased before the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, which has been 20 years ago! After that, although Iran also purchased some second-hand passenger planes privately, the number was not high.

Secondly, although the capacity has been expanded, it cannot be changed. The passenger planes owned by Iran Air have gradually reached the point where they have to be replaced!

Due to the serious aging of passenger aircraft and insufficient supply of spare parts, Iran Airlines has been experiencing frequent flight accidents in recent years, making it the most unsafe aviation country in the world. Many countries in the European Union even rejected Iran because of its poor safety record.

Passenger plane landed. Just less than three months ago, an Iranian Tu-154 passenger plane carrying 148 people crashed in the western province of Qazvin 21 minutes after takeoff, killing all on board.

Although it is said that Iran Airlines, which cannot buy Western passenger aircraft, has turned its attention to Russian aircraft, there is still a considerable gap between the quality and performance of Russian-made aircraft and those of Boeing and Airbus.

Russia's own air transport safety record is not optimistic. Moreover, due to the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, Russia's passenger aircraft manufacturing has also been significantly affected, and Russia's own airlines have also turned to purchasing products from Boeing and Airbus.

, making the current annual output of Russia's passenger aircraft manufacturing industry extremely pitiful.

The Iranians had no choice but to turn their attention to other countries. Originally, they wanted to purchase a batch of regional aircraft from Canada's Bombardier and Embraer to first ensure the air transportation needs in Iran and surrounding countries. Of course, Canada and Brazil

Whether the two countries will approve this purchase is also unknown.

It was during this process that China's Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company jumped into their sights. They were surprised to find that China's civil aircraft manufacturing industry had completed the process of starting from scratch and had begun to provide products to the international market.

.Although, the products they provide are still far behind the international first-class level. Whether it is md90 or Boeing 717, they are all models that have been discontinued by Western passenger aircraft manufacturers, but they have already reached the level of

The production standards of the original factory have been exceeded! And whether it is md90 or Boeing 717, their discontinuation is not because of how backward their performance is, but because of huge external factors, and to say the least, they

Its performance is much more advanced than the passenger planes owned by Iran Air today that were produced more than 20 years ago!

Of course, one of the most important reasons why the Iranians like Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Co., Ltd. is that the relationship between China and Iran is good. When Iran was subject to international sanctions, China still gave Iran a lot of help, and even Iran's

Many military equipment in active service are purchased from China.

"Alexander, your country also has an aircraft manufacturing industry, and as far as I know, Iran Airlines originally had many Soviet-style passenger aircraft. Why not purchase your aircraft?" Fang Mingyuan asked Minister Ivanovic. Sitting aside

Hidi Kormani's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Fang Mingyuan had a pretty good relationship with this powerful figure in Russia.

Ivanovic sighed and said: "Fang, I won't hide it from you. If we can export passenger planes, we will never give this opportunity to you. The problem is that we simply cannot meet Iran's requirements?"

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but asked a little strangely: "How do you say this? Do they have very high purchasing standards?" In his opinion, judging from the passenger aircraft manufactured in Russia today, although they are still not as safe and comfortable as Western products

, even inferior to the products of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company, but for Iran, which is in urgent need of new passenger planes to replace those old planes that are losing their teeth, it should not be a problem.

"Our Ilyushin Aircraft Manufacturing Company signed a contract with them in 2007 to sell them five Tu-204 passenger aircraft." Ivinovic said with a bitter smile, "But this contract may be difficult to implement at present.

Go down."

"Why?" Fang Mingyuan asked. He knew that the Tu-204 passenger plane obtained its airworthiness certificate in the mid-1990s and was considered one of Russia's latest passenger planes. The advantage is that it is cheaper than those manufactured by Embraer.

The erj-170 passenger aircraft is several million dollars cheaper, and it seems that it was only supplied to countries outside the CIS in the last year or two of this century.

"Because the engine of this model of Tu-204 passenger aircraft is jointly produced by the Russian Perm Automobile Manufacturing Company and the American Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Manufacturing Group. The parent company of the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Manufacturing Group is the United States United States

Technology Company. Just a few months ago, Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation made it clear that because the U.S. government was imposing sanctions on Iran, we were required not to use this model on the Tu-204 passenger aircraft sold to Iran.

Aircraft engine." Ivanovic said, spreading his hands.

Fang Mingyuan frowned and said: "I remember that your Tu-204 passenger plane has a domestic engine model? Moreover, the products of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group currently use Western aviation engines, and I am afraid that they will also face the same problem as the Tu-204.

Same problem with passenger planes.”

"The Tu-204 passenger plane equipped with our country's domestic engine will not be delivered to Iran as scheduled, and there are still a lot of troubles involved." Ivanovic shook his head repeatedly, "And they now urgently need a batch of new passenger planes to replace them.

Their old fleet. As for the engine problem you mentioned, I think this can be solved." If Russia can eat this piece of cake, they will naturally not push it outwards, but the current Russian civilian passenger aircraft manufacturing industry is basically

It is impossible to provide Iran with so many passenger planes in a short period of time. Moreover, their plan is likely to be a one-time deal. If the profit from it is too small, the Russians will not be able to offend the Western governments headed by the United States.

"Mr. Fang, we do need a batch of new passenger planes in China to complete the replacement of the fleet. Because of the international embargo, our country's airlines even have to buy fifth-hand planes manufactured in 1986 from the second-hand passenger plane market!" Xidi

Kormani said with a bitter look on his face, "We have also cooperated with Ukraine and wanted to develop our own domestic aircraft, but... now we have no hope for it."

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh. In fact, China was facing the same situation as Iran in many fields. The embargo also made it extremely difficult for China to obtain high-quality materials and technology from the international market. Even

So even if it was obtained, it would be difficult to use it on a large scale. The An-140 passenger aircraft that Iran cooperated with Ukraine was a project that Ukraine itself had not yet completed. After cooperating with Iran to produce several prototypes, Ukraine itself stopped the project.

Later, due to pressure from the United States, Ukraine's follow-up services to Iran had to be stopped. As a result, the few passenger planes produced had many problems after they were delivered for use.

"Iran plans to purchase twenty MD90 passenger aircraft from Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company. It can't be any less, and it's not that it can't be more, but if it's more, I'm afraid this plan won't work," Ivanovic said, "

Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company will first sell these aircraft to our airlines, and then at the appropriate time, we will sell them all to Iran. In this way, we can avoid the restrictions of the United States. Even if they have any dissatisfaction, they will

We cannot impose any substantive sanctions on your Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company. The most we can do is ask you to sell passenger aircraft in the future with additional conditions not to resell them to Iran."

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a long time before saying: "I want to see the details of this plan. Moreover, I want to inform our government about this matter. Half of the shares of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group are owned by the state, and exports to Iran involve

When it comes to international sanctions, if we cannot get approval from our government, then there is no need for us to continue talking." Although he does not know when Iran will be able to lift sanctions in the future, from this matter, he sees

There are vast business opportunities in the future.

Iran is a large country in the Middle East with a population of more than 70 million. It can be said that the demand for passenger aircraft is currently greatly suppressed. Once the ban is lifted, not only will basically all of Iran Air’s current aircraft be replaced

, I am afraid that large-scale procurement will be carried out. This is a huge cake. If Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company wants to develop, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to it.

Moreover, if Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group can provide Iran with timely help this time and help them overcome the imminent difficulties, even if the ban is lifted in the future, the Iranians will definitely consider purchasing Western passenger aircraft in large quantities when purchasing aircraft.

If sanctions are imposed again, will the situation of passenger aircraft being unable to be replaced and repaired normally be repeated? By then, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company, which has already entered the Iranian aviation market, will be regarded by them as an indispensable alternative!

In this case, it will play a decisive role for Qinqinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company to continue to open up the Iranian market in the future.

The situation in Iran can also play a good advertising role for Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Co., Ltd. to expand its share in the international civil passenger aircraft market. Countries that do not have a good relationship with the United States and Russia cannot provide them with satisfactory products are likely to

Attention turned to Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company.

This is from a long-term perspective. From the current situation, the economic crisis has significantly slowed down the development of airlines. The demand for new aircraft has slowed down. Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company indeed needs new orders to stabilize people's hearts. 2.

Ten passenger planes, this order is nothing to behemoths like Boeing and Airbus, but for Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, it is already very good. With these twenty passenger planes

The order was enough for Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group to produce at full capacity for several months. Fang Mingyuan suddenly found that he no longer knew Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group's current annual output of md90 passenger aircraft.

Ivanovic and Hidi Colemani let out a sigh of relief in unison. It was a good thing that Fang Mingyuan did not refuse outright. As for notifying the Chinese government, this has long been in their consideration. I believe that as long as their plan can make people

Satisfied, the Chinese government definitely doesn’t care that it can make money and cause some trouble for the Americans. Moreover, if Iran attracts more attention from Americans, it will not do any harm to China. If it weren’t for the fact that it involves Western aviation engines

, In fact, this is not a problem. China even dares to sell military equipment to Iran, but it still cares about a few civilian passenger planes?

As an Iranian, Hidi Kormani naturally knows how bad the domestic civilian passenger aircraft fleet is now. Even if some of the passenger aircraft are retired and their spare parts are dismantled to maintain the passenger aircraft that are still in service, it is impossible.

It went on without pause. There were so many problems with Russian-made passenger planes and domestically produced passenger planes that they simply could not afford to take the lead. He had already heard that the domestic air transport authorities were discussing not to ground all domestic Tu-154 passenger planes and retire them.

, this is mainly because this type of passenger aircraft has had many air crashes in the past, and its airworthiness document is about to expire. Although there are less than twenty Tu154 passenger planes in Iran, once these passenger planes are grounded, Iran will

The already stretched civil aviation fleet is even more stretched. If we can get twenty md90s, it will at least make the country less dilemma in deciding to ground and retire the Tu154 passenger aircraft!

Ivanovic is also very happy. For Russia, this transaction is not only a benefit for Russia, but also an important measure for the Iranian government to continue to fight against U.S. sanctions.

For Russia, whose sphere of influence has been greatly reduced compared to the former Soviet Union, Iran's anti-American stance is extremely important. And if Iran also turns to the United States under pressure, Russia's influence in the Middle East will be greatly reduced!
