Steve Hebler is telling the truth.

As far as the current Sino-American relationship is concerned, Boeing is very important to Huaxia, not only because Boeing is one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world today, but more importantly, Boeing has a deep influence in the political and economic fields in the United States.

Of course, on the other hand, if there is no huge market in China, Boeing's profits will be greatly reduced, which is naturally unacceptable to capital.

So as Steve Hebler said, no one should be there to be stupid temptations to try, let's go straight to the showdown.

"Good!"

Now that Steve Hebler has said this, Zhang Yaoguang no longer sneered at Steve Hebler, he pondered for a while and said: "Huaxia must have its own ability to manufacture large wide-body aircraft. ”

Steve Hebler was silent for a while, did not speak, did not nod or shake his head, but Zhang Yaoguang actually understood that Steve Hebler's attitude was actually acquiescence - what could you do if you didn't acquiesce?

This is also obviously impossible.

Zhang Yaoguang continued: "I don't know if COMAC has any plans to build large wide-body passenger aircraft, but even if they have this plan, from the preliminary demonstration to the formal approval of the project to the final airworthiness license, with the technical level of COMAC, I think it will take at least 10 years, so Mr. Hebler, you don't need to be in a hurry at all." ”

Steve Hebler, of course, knew he didn't need to rush, but at the same time, he emphasized: "Maybe so, maybe I'll be retired by then, but the problem is, I'm the chairman of Boeing now." ”

Since I'm the chairman, in order to give the board an account, I definitely need to do something to prove that I'm competent in this position.

On the other hand, it's not wrong to think that Steve Hebler is actually here to go through the motions.

"Okay," Zhang Yaoguang nodded and said, "I can understand your difficulties, huh...... In the future, after COMAC's own large wide-body aircraft are built, they must have a 25% market share in Huaxia, and as for the remaining 75%, how you will distribute it among Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus depends on how the environment changes at that time. ”

Does COMAC want to capture a quarter of the market?

Steve Hebler frowned, a little unwilling.

Of course, he knew that Boeing could not monopolize the entire Huaxia large wide-body passenger aircraft market, but the fact that it theoretically accounted for 25% still made him very unwilling.

Just as he was about to say something, Zhang Yaoguang continued: "Mr. Hebler, you have to understand that McDonnell Douglas's MD-11 is a relatively old model. ”

Well...... Well?!

Steve Hebler's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Zhang Yaoguang meant:

Strictly speaking, the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 is not old, this aircraft officially carried out commercial flights in 1990, so far it has barely been 10 years of effort, and even carried out an upgrade during the period, upgrading the original three engines to two engines, and re-modifying the vertical tail of this series of aircraft, which can be said to have eradicated the old problems left over from the DC-10.

But the question is, MD-11 is actually an improved version of DC-10, and the foundation is still DC-10, and when was DC-10 developed?

Late 60s!

It began to be developed in the late 60s and officially entered service in 1971, and from this root, this aircraft has been almost 30 years old, and like Boeing's 767 model, it is time to upgrade, but the problem is that McDonnell Douglas has not announced their plans to develop a new generation of large-scale wide-body technology.

This is very interesting, which means that McDonnell Douglas may continue to produce the MD-11 aircraft for at least 15 years, or even 20 years, and obviously, Huaxia has begun to be a little dissatisfied with McDonnell Douglas's lazy approach, and this means that don't look at Chen Geng's face, McDonnell Douglas has sold a lot of MD-11 in Huaxia over the years, but next, Huaxia's civil aviation company will inevitably reduce the purchase share of MD-11.

With the share of the MD-11 being cut and the large-scale wide-body technology project of COMAC Group not even officially established, who will the order for Huaxia's large wide-body passenger aircraft be given to?

It can only be Boeing and Airbus!

Thinking of this, Steve Hebler was suddenly excited, and he tentatively said to Zhang Yaoguang: "In that case, can we sign an agreement?"

Zhang Yaoguang knew what kind of agreement Steve Hebler wanted, so he looked at Steve Hebler like a fool: "Mr. Hebler, let's not say that it is impossible for us to sign such a secret agreement with you, even if we do sign it, do you think McDonnell Douglas Group will give up?!"

As for why McDonnell Douglas knew of the existence of this secret protocol, that's another story.

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

Steve Hebler was a little disappointed about the outcome of this meeting, but overall, he was satisfied with the result.

Boeing is actually very clear that as China's overall economic strength is getting stronger and stronger, even for the sake of its own overall competitiveness, the Huaxia government will definitely work hard to support and support the development of COMAC, and set aside a market share for the development of COMAC, and for Boeing, it is impossible to force the Huaxia government to kill COMAC, in this case, then Boeing will retreat to the second, if Boeing can occupy the largest piece of the cake, it is actually not bad.

And looking at the smiling face of Steve Hebler at the airport in the media, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus are all in a hurry!

Although they don't know what Steve Hebler did when he went to Huaxia, it is clear that Boeing is very satisfied with this trip to Huaxia, and this information is enough!
