Chapter 989: Life is endless, and internal strife is endless

You can't do things that are not good for yourself, it's just that if the shares are too small, Chen Geng will definitely not be happy, but if you give Chen Geng too much, won't you also lose money?

So the question is: how many shares should be sold to Chen Geng?

It's just that after Massim Ferhagen euphemistically expressed his concerns on behalf of Fokker Aircraft, Chen Geng was very talkative, and he didn't seem to have to hold more than 50% of the shares, if he said to Massim Fairhagen: "You go to Miss Rosemary to talk about this problem, and how many shares you can leave from Miss Rosemary depends on your ability......

"Thank you, thank you......"

Massim Verhagen didn't expect Chen Geng to be so good at talking, and he was immediately overjoyed, and expressed his gratitude to Chen Geng one after another.

"Don't be busy thanking me yet," Chen Geng waved his hand: "The matter of shares can be discussed, and I will definitely satisfy you with the price, but there is a question that is not negotiable." ”

Massim Felhagen blinked, his heart lifted, and he asked cautiously, "...... are you talking about?"

"Fokker will supply engines in the future," Chen Geng said, "I know that your engine supply contract with Rolls-Royce still has three years to expire, and I am not embarrassed for you, the contract within three years will be executed as usual, but after the expiration of the engine supply agreement contract, Fokker can not renew the contract with Rolls-Royce, and after three years, Fokker can only purchase the 'TAY' series engines produced by COMAC." ”

"This ......"

Massim Ferhagen's face immediately wrinkled into a bitter melon, and he seemed to have something to say, but before he could speak, Chen Geng continued: "Of course, the agreement between you and Rolls-Royce on the supply of complete machines and spare parts for the 'Dart' turboprop engine and the 'Spey' turbofan engine will be implemented normally. ”

The 'Dart' series turboprop engine is the engine of Fokker's previous generation of regional aircraft F27, and the 'Spey' series turbofan engine is the engine of F28, although these two aircraft have been discontinued, but there are still more than 2,000 aircraft in use worldwide, in order to ensure the normal operation and maintenance of these aircraft, Fokker still needs to purchase a large number of spare parts and system components from major suppliers every year.

Suffice it to say that if it weren't for the F27 and F28 series, which brought a lot of profits to Fokker in terms of after-sales service, Fokker would have been unable to survive a few years ago.

Massim Felhagen has a headache!

Only then did he discover a very depressing fact: in the previous discussion, everyone only cared about discussing the issue of shares that they were most concerned about, and no one thought about this issue.

The question is, is it just a question of an engine supply agreement with Rolls-Royce?

No!

In this seemingly ordinary engine supply agreement, many people are involved, otherwise why has Rolls-Royce been the sole engine supplier to Falkland-United Aviation Technology for decades?

After Massim Ferhagen squeaked and expressed his embarrassment, Chen Geng did not embarrass him: "It's okay, you just need to convey my meaning to your colleagues, as for how to choose, it's your own business...... Even if you'd rather let Fokker go bankrupt in your own hands than sell it to me, that's your choice, right?"

Massim Felhagen let out a long sigh and stopped talking.

Now, he regrets it very much, if he hadn't insisted on getting on the F70 plane at the beginning, maybe there wouldn't be the current trouble, right?

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

Although Fokker has not reached any agreement with Chen Geng, how deeply the interests of Fokker and Rolls-Royce are involved, they are old men who have cooperated for decades, so in a very short time, Rolls-Royce knew that Chen Geng went to Fokker to dig his own corner.

The moment he learned the news, Rolls-Royce was almost angry!

Okay!

You're digging our Gulfstream corners with your front foot, you're digging into our corners at Allison Dynamics and Embraer, and now you're digging our corners at Fokker?

You're endless, aren't you?!

The entire hierarchy of Rolls-Royce is quite angry!

Speaking of which, it's no wonder that Rolls-Royce was angry and wanted to ...... Don't think about it at the beginning, it's only been a few years, your COMAC's "tay" series engines and RB211 series engines are still taught to you by our Rolls-Royce, this is not counted, we Rolls-Royce also taught you and helped you improve the "tay" series engines, and now we are helping you to put "tay" The maximum take-off thrust of the serial engine has been increased to the level of 100KN, and now it's good, Lao Tzu just taught you this apprentice, and you unscrupulous guy began to smash the master's bowl of rice?!

Bastard!

But then the development of events vividly showed Rolls-Royce what it means to be a blessing and a disaster: just when Simon Robertson, Patrick Hogan and other Rolls-Royce executives were angry and ready to take revenge on Chen Geng, Allison Power seemed to be interested in selling the aero-engine business segment to Fernandez Chen again......

That's terrible!

At this moment, Simon Robertson and the others could no longer care about being angry, and hurriedly began to discuss countermeasures - if Chen Geng's idea of beating Gulfstream and Fokker was to cut off the branches of Rolls-Royce, then now Chen Geng's idea of beating Allison Power is to start according to Rolls-Royce's roots.

This is something that Rolls-Royce could not accept anyway.

"There is no doubt that Fernandez has strong ambitions in the field of aero engines, which can be seen from his decision to introduce the 'TAY' series of engines from our Lo Rowe at the beginning of the establishment of COMAC," Patrick Hogan said with a gloomy face, and he now hates Chen Geng with itchy teeth: "We must do everything we can to stop Fernandez from being able to stop Fernandez J. Chen's efforts and attempts in the field of aero engines must not allow him to make the slightest progress in this field, otherwise he will most likely become a major threat to our Rolls-Royce......"

It's just that in any large company, or because of interests, or because of different development concepts, it is impossible to be monolithic, especially for old industrial giants such as Rolls-Royce......

"Mr. Hogan, there does seem to be some truth to what you said, but it seems to me that you are just covering up your incompetence in handling this matter," Carol Isaacson, senior global president of Rolls-Royce Military Engines, said disapprovingly: "What is the future direction of aero engines? greater bypass ratio, lower noise, lower fuel consumption, greater thrust......

But what of the above four points, where did Fernandez Chen and his COMAC Group achieve?

Yes, he can now mass-produce our 'tay' range of engines, but so what? As a medium bypass ratio engine with only 3 bypass ratios, the 'tay' is already within our phase-out target, and in the thrust range of 60KN to 75KN, what is our new generation of engines?

It is the BR700 series.

The BR700 series perfectly achieves a larger bypass ratio, lower fuel consumption, lower noise and greater thrust, in addition, the BR700 series also adopts a modular design, and the service life is longer, which can save users more fuel and after-sales maintenance costs, compared with the 'Spey' series and the 'tay' series, the BR700 series is a cross-generational, all-round leader - Mr. Hogan, if you are a user, will you choose the BR700 series or the 'tay' series?"

"Yes, I agree with Mr. Isaacson," Carol Isaacson's voice just fell, and someone next to him picked up the words: "And we also understand that a larger bypass ratio, lower fuel consumption, and lower noise also means higher technical content, and these technologies, the things contained in them, are not something that a rookie who has just entered this industry can master every day......"

“……”

In the face of everyone's siege and condemnation, Patrick Hogan was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

On the contrary, Carol Isaacson's words were echoed by a group of Rolls-Royce executives in attendance.

Indeed, the "Tay" engine can essentially be considered as an upgraded version of the "Spey" engine, expanding the bypass ratio of the "Spey" to 3, adding one or more supercharged stages, increasing the number of low-pressure turbines, and increasing the number of combustion chamber nozzles according to actual needs...... Then it became "Tay", but to tell the truth, the technical roots of "Tay" came from "Spey".

With the development of aero engine technology, turbofan engines with small bypass ratio or medium bypass ratio are no longer good, don't you see that after the launch of CFM56, the JT8D with small bypass ratio will not be sold almost overnight?

After IAE's V2500 series was introduced to the market, the turbofan engines with small bypass ratio and medium bypass ratio could hardly find the market anymore, even in the field of turbofan engines used in regional aircraft, large bypass ratio turbofan engines with better fuel economy began to gradually rise - the first engine of General Electric's CF34 series, the CF34-3A, had a bypass ratio of 6.2!

Why did Rolls-Royce partner with Allison Power to develop the AE3007?

Isn't it just to gain a foothold in the market for large-bypass turbofan engines for regional jets and mid-to-large business jets?

And now, Patrick Hogan is saying that COMAC's "TAY" series engines will threaten Rolls-Royce?

I don't know what to do!

This is purely justifying his incompetence!
