Chapter 863: Opening Overseas Markets
Compared with the civil aviation platform, the standards of the military aviation platform are relatively stricter, especially in the durability, maintainability, attendance, and safety compared with the civil aviation platform, there are high requirements, and even in some aspects to the extent of the change ~~ state, otherwise how can the civil and military prices of the same platform differ several times, or even dozens of times.
The implementation requirements are different, the price of supporting components is different, and the overall cost is naturally very different.
Of course, it cannot be said that civilian products are inferior to military standards in terms of standards, for example, in terms of fuel economy, civilian standards have also reached the degree of change ~~, no way, aviation fuel accounts for about 30% of the overall cost of airlines.
This is still the case of stable international crude oil prices, once the soaring upward trend, the cost of aviation fuel for airlines will naturally rise, so airlines attach great importance to this indicator, which also prompts aviation manufacturers to spare no effort to improve the fuel economy of aircraft.
Tengfei Group has naturally made a lot of efforts in this regard, the problem is that no matter how deep the effort can not be shown, it is in vain, the radar warning aircraft is just a good opportunity, originally this kind of support aircraft with the nature of early warning aircraft has high requirements for the platform, plus serving the army, and meeting strict military standards, it is a test of the adaptability of the platform.
Because of this, there are many various aviation platforms in various countries in the world, but there are few that can really be converted into support aircraft, and almost all of them are in the hands of several major aviation giants in Europe and the United States.
Cuba, Beihang University, Iran, and Central Asia were then invited to experience the central role played by the T-500 radar alert aircraft in the exercise in the name of observing the annual exercise.
How would the observers from these countries feel?
Even if you are unmoved, you have to be curious about the basic situation of the T-500 and even its basic model TRJ-500 regional airliner, and even more urgent for countries such as Cuba, Beihang Airlines, and Central Asia.
For no other reason, these countries were either member states of the Soviet Union or members of the Mutual Economic Assistance Council, in other words, they were all spheres of influence in the Soviet economy, so the aviation products used in these countries were basically produced in the Soviet Union.
If the Soviet Union was still there, the big guy would have lived as always, but the Soviet Union suddenly collapsed, and now the country's aviation industry had to face a serious problem, what to do with the old Soviet-style aircraft that were equipped before?
The collapse of the fragmented Soviet Union is not only a superpower, but also the industrial chain that is enough to amaze the world, just at the beginning of the demolition of the east wall to make up the west wall can also get some aviation spare parts, but three or four years have passed, the east wall that should be demolished is almost demolished, but the west wall that should be repaired is more and more.
What to do?
Let's eliminate it, these countries themselves are not rich, and some are reluctant.
Buy new ones, firstly, there is not enough money, and secondly, some countries simply cannot obtain advanced aviation products from Europe and the United States because of sanctions and geopolitical relations.
You can only use the old-fashioned plane to hard-top somewhere.
If nothing else, the average age of North Korea's Tu-154 is less than 20 years old, but because of the lack of enough spare parts, the Tu-154 passenger plane that flies into the sky will pour cold air into the cabin cracks, coupled with the loud noise and the occasional drop of parts, the people sitting on it sweat for themselves every time they travel.
Similar situations are not uncommon in Cuba, Iran and even in Central Asian countries.
This is a huge sequelae left after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but from another point of view, why is it not an opportunity for Tengfei Group to open up overseas markets?
Boeing and Airbus took advantage of the collapse of the Soviet Union to reap the aircraft market of Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine in the CIS countries.
Of course, if you want to eat meat, there must be an opportunity, for example, the spare parts of Soviet-made aircraft are completely exhausted, and for example, in an authoritative occasion, let the authoritative people of these countries see the excellent aviation platform of the Tengfei Group.
For this reason, Zhuang Jianye hibernate for four years, and only today has he pushed the T-500 in front of these countries during the annual exercises at the headquarters.
Yes, here in Zhuang Jianye, his audience is not only a peeping foreign power, but also authoritative figures from various countries who participate in the observation.
And the latter can bring him a very high profit return in a high probability.
Compared with this, the 200 million yuan invested in the Air Force's radar warning aircraft is really nothing, and this amount of money is less than 30 million dollars when converted into dollars.
Instead of cheap outsiders, it is better to serve your own people, as for the effect.
Just look at the Air Force Headquarters' addition of the T-500 radar alert aircraft to its annual exercise and the completion of a series of new methods of air combat to show that the Air Force has thoroughly regarded itself as a gold medal salesman.
Not only that, Song Changzheng, who had been transferred from United Airlines to the Air Force Logistics Department, and founded the Aviation Import and Export Company, personally went to these countries before the exercise to carry out one-on-one precision promotion of the TRJ-500 regional airliner.
After returning to Shanghai, he negotiated with representatives of relevant countries on specific details, and then cooperated with the outstanding performance of the T-500 radar alert aircraft in the exercise.
All the front stations have been completed, and the rest is naturally Zhuang Jianye's grand performance.
Therefore, after receiving the news from Song Changzheng's delivery to the Shanghai market, Zhuang Jianye immediately rushed over non-stop, ready to complete the feat of Tengfei Group to open overseas markets.
Of course, Zhuang Jianye and Song Changzheng are full of confidence and enthusiasm, but the commercial counselors or business representatives of Cuba, North Korea, Iran and Central Asian countries are a little apprehensive.
There is no other reason for this, but the lack of basic trust in China's aviation industry capabilities.
There is still suspicion and prudence in the subconscious of the TRJ-500 regional airliner produced by Tengfei Group, no way, the domestic aviation industry has developed for so many years, and the military equipment has achieved brilliant achievements, but the civilian platform is lackluster, so that it is like a giant with feet, which makes people look at how they are not sure.
As a result, there is suddenly a TRJ-500 regional airliner, can the commercial counselors or commercial representatives of these countries not have a little doubt in their hearts?
Because of this, when negotiating with Song Changzheng, the commercial counselors or commercial representatives of these countries put forward a request, that is, to personally experience the riding experience and feelings of the TRJ-500 regional airliner, if you can fly it yourself, it would be better, of course, the most important thing is to visit the aircraft factory of the Tengfei Group, and understand how the TRJ-500 regional airliner is from the root.
You can't believe whatever you say!
