Chapter 638: Giants
Yodel stood in the reception hall of Sin Chew Mountain City Airport, raised his wrist from time to time to look at the time on the watch, and then compared the prompt screen of the flight, his usual meticulous face uncontrollably showed a little nervous look.
Soon there was a crowd of people at the exit of the passengers, and Jodel quickly found his target from the exit of the station, and quickly raised his hand and shook it, calling out in German with a Munich accent: "Hi, Mr. Schumann, I'm here~~"
Erwin Schumann, the CEO of Leipzig Company, who was moving towards the exit of the station in a bit of a dazed manner, saw the waving yodel also waved his hand, and then quickened his pace, and then took the checked luggage from the airport staff, and then came to Yodel's side, stretched out his hand, and shook the hand handed by Yodel: "It's a pleasure to see you again, my friend." ”
"Me too, Mr. Schumann. ”
As he spoke, he motioned to his assistant Hans to help Schumann with his luggage, and Schumann did not delay handing over the luggage to Hans, and he walked side by side with Yodel towards the exit of the airport, and asked, "Have you been in contact with the Tengfei Group?"
"I've been contacted, and your meeting with Zhuang Jianye is scheduled in an hour and a half. ”
As he said this, Yodel smiled wryly and looked rather helpless.
Just when Yodel helped Gu Jingyou to cheat Xue Guowei very much, and helped Tengfei Group to merge Yonghong Factory from the side, which was indirectly regarded as a vote, Zhuang Jianye naturally couldn't put the Germans aside like this, so on the third day after the air show, Zhuang Jianye met with him at the hotel where Yodel lived.
Initial contacts were made regarding the transfer of the ZB-MAX helicopter and the DL-11 "Science Fiction Star" to Leipzig.
Although there were differences between the two sides, the overall progress was relatively smooth, and to use the common diplomatic language, the meeting between the two sides was held in a cordial and friendly atmosphere, and each side expressed its concerns, and at the same time laid the foundation for further cooperation between the two sides in the future.
If the two sides work in the same direction to bridge their differences, maybe after several rounds of formal negotiations, Tengfei Group can really take out these two models to cooperate with the German company Leipzig.
Even if Tengfei Group is ready to show its style at the Paris Air Show next year, it can face the insurmountable entry threshold of the European and American aviation market, even if the performance of the Tengfei Group's models is good, it will be the same as an excellent literary movie, and it will have a good ending.
Therefore, cooperating with their Leipzig company to form a joint production and sales alliance will inevitably lower the entry threshold for European and American airworthiness certificates.
As for the United States, it may be a little more difficult, but it is not half of the way out, after all, because of the rise of Airbus, the two sides have a kind of balance and tacit understanding in terms of aviation access, similar to nuclear deterrence during the Cold War.
Otherwise, today I will block your Airbus A320, and the next day you will suppress my Boeing 737, and the loss will inevitably be the interests of the aviation giants on both sides, so it is better to join hands to jointly cut the world's leeks.
The giants have a tacit understanding, and no one cares about the small shrimp below, the German Leipzig company is world-class in the field of rotorcraft maintenance, but it is a proper new one in the production and manufacturing of the whole machine, plus Yodel has a few models that are counted as medium-sized aircraft or small aircraft under 10 tons, and the shrimp can not be in the shrimp, as long as you use a little heart and spend a little money, it is not difficult to win the airworthiness certificate of the United States.
However, when Jodel reported the meeting with Zhuang Jianye to the company's headquarters in Leipzig, Germany, it was opposed by the entire management.
The reason is simple, yodel went so far as to change the topic of communication with the Tengfei Group.
You must know that Yodel's visit to China this time is not to introduce any new models, but to help the troubled engineering helicopter seek further help from the Tengfei Group, so as to change the Leipzig company that is now in a worrying situation to get out of the predicament.
As a result, Yodel's report did not say a word about the project as the result of the upgrade, but talked about a lot of things about the introduction of new models, which was simply a crown and a loss.
Of course, if Yodel is talking about an American company, the top management of Leipzig will not do the same, even if there is a slight complaint, they will also make some evaluation of the recommended model, after all, the United States is the world leader in aviation technology, and many unique innovations come from those small studio-like companies.
But Yodel recommended is a Chinese aviation manufacturing company, in terms of technology, in front of the world is considered a third-rate level, even if there is a so-called good thing, it is estimated that it is the king and hegemony in China, with the world scale to measure, it is estimated that even the level of Germany can not be compared, in this case what can be praised?
To be honest, if it weren't for the suppression of engineering helicopters and the urgency of time, Leipzig would not have been able to find Tengfei Group, the United States has such high aviation technology and the highest level of production in the solar system, and things are naturally much more fragrant than other places.
All in all, Leipzig subconsciously looks down on China's technological capabilities and the strength of the Tengfei Group.
So the Leipzig company gave yodel a utopian whimsy, some idiots who were influenced by the mysterious forces of the East.
Under such a negative evaluation, it is obviously inappropriate for Yodel to lead the cooperation between Leipzig and Tengfei Group, and the time point between the end of the year is approaching, and Leipzig really can't afford to delay, so under the instruction of the board of directors, CEO Erwin Schuman personally stepped in, hoping to solve the technical problems of the engineering helicopter as soon as possible.
Schumann's ideas were basically the same as those of other Leipzig executives, but he and Yodel had been entrepreneurial partners for many years, and although they were equally angry at Yodle's sudden change, they pulled him back at the critical moment and did not drive him home, but stayed in China to serve as his senior assistant in contact with the Ascendas Group.
So he didn't see all the frustration he showed to yodel, nodded and walked out of the airport, and quickly got into the car that was ready.
About 30 minutes later, the car stopped in front of the main entrance of a high-end hotel in Xingzhou, Schumann who got off the car was led to a lounge on the sixth floor by the staff in charge of the reception of Tengfei Group.
This isn't Asia's largest aircraft maintenance contractor, Richard Morston, CEO of Stable Flight?
It is also engaged in aircraft maintenance, and the Leipzig company is not even a younger brother compared with the stable flight company, because the stable flight company does the maintenance work of large fixed-wing passenger aircraft such as Boeing, Airbus, and Bombardier.
Headquartered in Singapore, the business is all over the world, but mainly concentrated in Asia, its company alone accounts for 42.6% of the entire Asian passenger aircraft maintenance, Japan's All Nippon Air, Malaysia's Lion Air, Singapore's National Airlines, the Middle East's Emirates and other well-known Asian airlines are stable flight company partners.
It can be said that the stable flight company stomped, and the entire airliner of Asian Airlines trembled, and it was a real giant.
But the CEO of such a powerful aviation maintenance giant is here like a horse boy wants to see the leader of the leader, nervously wiping his sweat, which makes Schumann almost not fall out of his eyes.
