Chapter 982: The Brazilians Appear

"Rolls-Royce is going to fund Allison too?"

Listening to the latest situation reported by Leilani Taylor to herself, Chen Gengdu smiled: these guys from Rolls Royce have an obvious attitude towards themselves. He shook his head while laughing, "These guys from Rolls-Royce, what did they do earlier...... What's Allison's attitude?"

Laylani Taylor said, "There seems to be some excitement on Allison's side. ”

Chen Geng nodded: "It's understandable, after all, the two companies have been cooperating for so many years...... However, is this kind of thing up to them Luo Luo?!"

β€œ......”

Leilani Taylor began to quietly get excited in her heart: Is the boss going to wield?

Picking up the phone, Chen Geng dialed Rosemary: "There is something you need to operate." ”

"What's the matter?" you say. ”

Chen Gengjing asked Rosemary, "How much do you know about the target customer of the AE3007 engine that Allison Power is currently developing?"

"The first installed object of AE3007, and the only installed object of this engine so far, is the Embraer EMB-135/145," Rosemary is a smart person, for the entanglement between Chen Geng and Rolls-Royce in this short period of time, after listening to Chen Geng's mention of the Embraer, she immediately understood what Chen Geng meant, and confirmed to Chen Geng: " Boss, are you going to start with Embraer and put pressure on Allison Power from the side?"

"Well," Chen Geng responded, and said: "Help me go to Brazil and find a way to make some noise, such as 'A senior official of Embraer privately said that Allison Power will only start the ground test of the first engine of AE3007 this year, and it will be at least four to five years before it is finalized, which will greatly drag down the research and development progress of Embraer EMB-145' and other news that is not conducive to AE3007, is there a problem?"

"Of course, no problem," Rosemary said in a relaxed tone: "Embraer can even blame Allison Power for the EMB-145's failure to make its first flight in the second half of this year as scheduled - Brazil, you know, corruption is rife within the government and big business, as long as there are enough PR funds, not to mention just some ambiguous thoughts, even if it is a little later, For example, the news that Embraer is already seriously considering whether to change engine suppliers for the EMB-145 can easily come out. ”

Although the reason why the EMB-145 failed to make its first flight in the second half of this year is mainly due to the predicament of Embraer itself, until now, Embraer has not even built a prototype of the EMB-145, but as long as the "public relations" are in place, the blame for the failure of the EMB-145 to make its first flight as scheduled is pinned on the head of Allison Power, there is no problem at all.

And as long as Chen Gengshe has the money, it is easy to even ask Embraer executives to visit another supplier of large-bypass ratio turbofan engines for regional aircraft: General Electric Group, and make it clear that Embraer intends to use GE's CF34-3 turbofan engine as the engine for the EMB-145.

Chen Geng naturally understands these ways, otherwise why would he let Rosemary go to Brazil?

With Rosemary's assurance, Chen Geng didn't talk nonsense, he immediately said: "Then please help me run, I want to see the effect as soon as possible." ”

"Okay," Rosemary chuckled, "I'll show Rolls-Royce and Allison Dynamics that you're not so easy to refuse." ”

....................................

Rosemary's job paid off, and three days after her arrival in Brazil, Embraer Senior Vice President Paulo Cesa Silva suddenly fired at Allison Power in an interview with the media......

"I am personally very dissatisfied with the progress of Allison Power's research and development on the AE3007 engine, and they have only just started the ground test of the AE3007 engine, and it will be at least 1995 until the AE3007 is finalized, and the FAA type certificate and production license are obtained.

God, it was 1995!

After they get the type certificate, we will install the machine. Testing, EMB-145 to complete the finalization, maybe it will have to wait until 1998 or even 2000, this is absolutely unacceptable, I can't understand, we obviously have a better choice, such as General Electric's CF34-1, this engine has already obtained the FAA's type certificate and production license, why don't we choose GE's CF34-1 for EMB-145, but choose AE3007, everything is very uncertain?

I can't understand it.

Oh, by the way, I have to mention one more thing, the AE3007 is Allison Power's first turbofan engine, and General Electric has been making turbofan engines for more than 20 years, and they have a lot of experience in manufacturing turbofan engines, and Allison Power has never built a turbofan engine before, and no one can guarantee what kind of unsolvable trouble Allison Power will encounter in the process of developing the AE3007, right?"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

Paulo Cesa Silva's words were immediately interpreted by the media as Embraer preparing to abandon Allison power and throw himself into the arms of General Electric, which is even more intriguing considering that Paulo Cesa Silva's predecessor was Francisco GΓ³mez Neto, who insisted on installing the AE3007 on the EMB-145 at the beginning.

Paulo Cesa Silva's remarks were reflected in the stock market, and the day after Paolo Cesa Silva's speech, Allison Dynamics' stock price fell by $1.35.

For listed companies, the stock price is their lifeblood, and as the group's executives, if the stock price falls and fails to make a proper response, it is obviously unqualified, in this case, Allison Power's executives finally can't sit still, Allison Power's CEO David Graziosi immediately said through the media that the AE3007 research and development progress is completely within Allison Power's roadmap. Mr. Silva's concerns were completely unwarranted, and Allison Power was able and confident to provide Embraer with qualified and reliable power systems in accordance with the roadmap in a timely manner......

David Graziossi and Allison Dynamic's reaction was not unpleasant, but it didn't work!

For General Electric, how could they possibly let go of such a good opportunity to hit a competitor?

Let's not forget, just a few months ago, Cessna Group, one of today's largest business jet manufacturers, announced that it had selected Allison's AE3007 engine as the powertrain for its new generation of business jets: the Cessna 750, or Citation X (Citation 10) jet – and the General Electric CF34-3, which was also involved in the Cessna Citation X engine bid, was defeated.

GE is well aware that once Allison Power makes the AE3007, this engine will become the main competitor of its own CF34 series, a life-and-death rival, so there is no need for Chen Geng and Rosemary to do any public relations, GE itself jumped out, in an interview with the media, GE CEO Johansen welcomed Embraer and Paul CΓ©sa Brown. Silva came to the United States to visit and inspect, and GE is very happy and honored to provide the most advanced aero engine for the Brazilian aerospace industry......

General Electric is clearly undermining Allison Power.

However, it must be said that the effect of falling into the well is very obvious, after the stock price fell by $1.35 on the first day, the stock price of Allison Power fell by $1.07 again on the second day, and it is clear that the market and investors are starting to dislike Allison Power.

In this case, both Allison Power and David Graziossi are anxious: as the first and largest customer of AE3007, once Embraer abandons AE3007 and puts itself into the arms of General Electric CF34, the blow to Allison Power will be huge, so Allison Power will never allow this to happen!

On the one hand, Allison Power immediately responded to GE's response, and on the other hand, they urgently contacted the Brazilians and invited Paolo Cesa Silva and Embraer to send a team to the United States to investigate the development of AE3007...... To put it simply, Allison Dynamics, which knows what kind of virtue Brazilians are, is ready to carry out "public relations" on Brazilians in order to keep Embraer's orders.

Poor David Graziossi and Allison Power, who are anxious at this time, still don't know that the trouble they encountered this time is actually Chen Geng's ghost behind the scenes, but it is another related party in this incident: the British Rolls-Royce Group, because they did not personally end up, they can watch from the sidelines, and under this cold bystander, they really found a clue: it seems that it is "bombarded" by Paul Cesa Silva A few days ago Allison Power and AE3007, Chen Geng's diehard and hardcore assistant Rosemary went to Brazil?

This discovery made Patrick Hogan and Simon Robinson make a bold guess: if this is the case, is it possible that the trouble encountered by Allison Power has something to do with Chen Geng? Or can it be believed that this incident was planned by Chen Geng at all?

Realizing this possibility, Rolls-Royce immediately mobilized his energy and began to investigate the matter with all his might.

Chen Geng and Rosemary didn't intend to hide themselves in the first place, and they even wished that Allison Power could find out their role in this matter as soon as possible - when they knew their role in this matter, Allison Power should understand what they meant, right?

Under these circumstances, Rolls-Royce quickly discovered Rosemary's presence in the incident......
