What about the price?" Li Jun frowned and thought for a while, and asked: "Compared with our competitors, how much advantage can we have in terms of price? In addition, in terms of use cost, how much advantage can we have compared with our competitors?"

That's right!

Mr. Li's words reminded everyone that if there is enough advantage in terms of price, a little slower speed is not impossible to convince those airlines.

"Maybe I'm going to disappoint everyone," Fang Zhiqiang shook his head slightly in the face of everyone's expectant eyes: "Because this is the first time our company has developed this kind of large aircraft, so it is still safe in technology, and it will not be like Boeing 777, Airbus A330/A340 A large number of composite materials are used, our preliminary calculation is to ensure the success rate, and the proportion of composite materials will not exceed 7% , so there may not be an advantage in terms of the weight of the fuselage, and even if I say so, it may not be a big advantage in terms of price. ”

Li Jun was immediately a little disappointed.

There is no advantage in the dead weight of the fuselage, which means that the fuselage is heavier, and heavier means that the fuel consumption is relatively higher, and now the problem comes: our fuselage is heavier, there is no advantage in cruising speed, and the thrust of the engine is not enough...... And Fang Zhiqiang also made it clear directly that there is no obvious advantage in terms of price, isn't this just not going anywhere.

Looking at the atmosphere in the conference room that gradually began to decline, Wang Dazhi spoke: "Comrades, I think everyone has made a mistake......

Well?

Did we get a problem wrong?

Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Dazhi: What do you mean by this, Wang?

"Everyone should find out clearly, is our plane sold to foreign airlines? No! Our plane is sold to domestic airlines, and from a national strategic point of view, the purpose of our plane is to break the absolute monopoly of the Boeing Company, McDonnell Douglas Company, and Airbus Company in the field of such 250-ton large wide-body passenger planes!"

Speaking of this, Wang Dazhi waved his hand vigorously: "Therefore, under this premise, as long as our aircraft will not let the airlines lose money in operation, so that the airlines can make money, even if the profitability is only 80%, 70% or even 50% of the Boeing 777, McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and Airbus A330, the above will definitely give us a certain market share and ask all airlines to support us for the sake of our country's strategic security."

Although our operating costs are relatively higher, on the one hand, we still have some advantages in price, and on the other hand, in terms of after-sales maintenance costs, our advantages are greater, at least not as much as a screw costs thousands, and the unit is still ...... dollars."

Hearing Wang Dazhi's words, everyone suddenly chuckled, and at the same time, they quickly reacted in their hearts: Yes, the significance of this batch of aircraft is that it is not just an ordinary commodity, but also means that it is just like the long-range version of the Tu-204, which will become an important strategic bargaining chip in our hands with the West, even in order to ensure that this chip is good enough, it will require domestic airlines to equip a certain number of this aircraft.

And for domestic airlines, as long as they don't lose money, it's no problem to make a little less...... They are not stupid, of course they know that although they seem to make less money, they can use this aircraft of COMAC to threaten Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus to reduce prices: If you dare not reduce the price, I will buy COMAC.

What the?

You said that the profitability of the aircraft of COMAC is relatively low?

If the profitability is lower, it doesn't matter much, anyway, I'm not unprofitable, but your offer is so high, I can't afford it.

The most important thing is that for the core management of domestic airlines, buying this aircraft from COMAC also means political consciousness!

Don't forget, these domestic airlines, whether they are provincial-level airlines like Shandong Airlines or state-level airlines like Air China, are all serious state-owned enterprises, and the competent department is the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

As for the COMAC Group, buying the planes of the COMAC Group and letting the COMAC Group live well, so that the COMAC Group can become an important bargaining chip in the commercial and economic fields of China, this is political consciousness.

This also means that even if this aircraft can't be sold abroad, as long as it can make airlines make money, domestic orders alone are enough for COMAC to eat.

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts suddenly relaxed, especially Li Jun, his eyes lit up: "So, there is actually a sales outlet for this aircraft?"

"Yes, there must be," Wang Dazhi nodded: "But I hope that your sales department will give full play to its subjective initiative, so that customers can buy happily when they know that our aircraft is still a little deficient compared with competitors, and everyone will be happy to be friends together, or be forced to buy by superiors, and scold your mother when you go back, the difference between this should be very clear to your sales company, right?"

Li Jun is also a smart person, and immediately understood that Mr. Wang was giving himself an order, how to make friends with various airlines under the condition of limited product competitiveness, instead of making angry resentments like the group of fools with eyes on the top of their heads in the magic capital. He immediately said: "Mr. Wang, as well as everyone present, at the same time, please rest assured, as long as this aircraft can indeed make airlines have a certain profit, then I assure you that our sales company will definitely not be thin!"

"Very good," Wang Dazhi bowed slightly, and looked at Fang Zhiqiang: "In this case, old Fang, if our 300KN thrust engine comes out in the future, how far can our aircraft go?"

"We have calculated that the length of the fuselage can be equivalent to the 777-300 that Boeing is now developing, that is, the fuselage length is more than 70 meters," Fang Zhiqiang immediately replied: "In addition, if this engine is replaced for the old model, it can also achieve a cruising speed of more than 865 kilometers." ”

With a cruising speed of more than 865 kilometers, this is really good, and then COMAC can proudly claim that its manufacturing level in large wide-body passenger aircraft has reached the same level as Boeing, Airbus and McDonnell Douglas, and even if it claims to be the world's fourth largest civil aircraft manufacturing company, there is a reason to say that it has a good past.

As soon as he thought of this, whether it was Wang Dazhi or the others in the conference room, there was a look of excitement on their faces: We COMAC are really going to rise.
