Two minutes passed in a moment, there were many people on the other side of the conference room, and the whole room was buzzing when whispering, but when Zhou Yuanhang asked for other opinions again, there was still no one to speak, and it seemed that the technical chief of COMAC agreed that the benefits of choosing CFM56 series engines could not offset the huge disadvantage of rising costs. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhou Yuanhang continued to put pen to paper and crossed out the name of Pratt & Whitney JT8D2000, and said with a smile: "Everyone is in the industry, I won't talk about the excess, if you don't want to ask for hardship or really have no way out, then we should stay away from this standard American state-owned enterprise." ”

There were a few chuckles in the room, almost all of the technical chiefs of COMAC are from the American aviation industry, and on average, they have been in the industry for more than ten years.

"Xiaoyuan, isn't Pratt & Whitney a subsidiary of United Technology Corporation, a private enterprise controlled by the First Citibank consortium?" Ning Wanjia wrote a small note and quietly handed it to Liang Yuan.

Since learning that Liang Yuan wanted to develop Yuanjia into a giant consortium similar to Rockefeller or Morgan, Ning Wanjia has been more interested in large consortia in the United States, at least reading a lot of public or semi-public information, which can be regarded as a deeper understanding of the United States.

In the past few years, although Liang Yuan has seen the real faces of many large enterprises that need to look up in the previous life because of Yuanjia's entry into the aviation industry, he is still a newcomer in the industry compared with these old fritters who have been immersed in the aviation industry for more than ten years in the room.

After thinking about it, Liang Yuan picked up the pen from the desktop and added a sentence on the note handed over by Ning Wanjia, let's talk about it if you have more time, and listening to the gossip of big enterprises is quite broadened.

Zhou Yuanhang looked at the note handed over from Liang Yuan, and said with a smile: "Today's internal meeting was originally to speak freely, but everyone has a high degree of consensus on the issues that have just passed, and there is no room for discussion. ”

There has been a joke overseas that there are two masters of the United States of America, Wall Street bankers and dogs, both of which have unshakable mainstream status in the United States.

Enterprises owned by the owners of the state are called state-owned enterprises, and the nickname Pratt & Whitney is not nonsense.

First Citibank, the core enterprise of the Pratt & Whitney Company's behind-the-scenes holding consortium, is one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, and after World War II, the First Citibank established around First Citibank is also the representative force of Wall Street forces in the American social system, and the strength of the consortium is second only to the historic Rockefeller and Morgan consortiums.

In the United States, most people will think of oil and aviation when they mention the Rockefeller consortium, and most people will think of General Electric and IBM when they mention the Morgan consortium.

When it comes to the First Citigroup consortium, the first thing that comes to mind for most people in the twentieth century is arrogance, greed, bureaucracy, deception, and other negative words.

For example, Boeing, which is bureaucratic and intolerable to even the Pentagon and the White House, comes from the First Citibank consortium.

All in all, although Rockefeller and Morgan are both typical examples of financial capital controlling large amounts of industrial capital, their style of behavior in the relevant industrial sector can be described as engineers disguised as bankers.

First Citibank, on the other hand, has a very different approach, and its holding companies have traditionally been described as bankers masquerading as engineers in the relevant industrial sectors.

In the incomparably huge procurement cake of the US military's military spending, there are simply too many cases of the First Citi consortium colluding with those ignorant masters on Capitol Hill to kill their opponents.

GE's assessment of its biggest rival, the Pratt Whitney Group, is that it is a scumbag hub of crooks, lawyers, greedy bankers, and heavily paranoids.

The malice once exuded by the First Citibank consortium was so malicious that even Yuanjia, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, was shot for it.

When the F14 fighter was selected and launched, Pratt & Whitney colluded with those technical idiots on Capitol Hill to stuff the cheating daddy's TF30 engine to the big cat, and GE, which failed in the bidding, raised its own funds to launch the F110 aero engine prototype in a fit of anger, and it was not until more than ten years later that the F14A+ replacement project reported the ...... of the year.

Zhou Yuanhang is from Grumman Aerospace, a subsidiary of the Morgan consortium, and knows a lot about the inside story of the selection of the F14 fighter jet and the subsequent replacement of the F14A+, and he also has a lot of disdain for the almost unscrupulous style of the First Citi Foundation.

There was gossip to listen to and talk about, and the atmosphere in the conference room was much more relaxed, and with the narration of Zhou Yuanhang and others, no one knew about Pratt Whitney Company slowly unfolded in front of Liang Yuan.

After talking about a lot of gossip about the replacement of F14 fighter jets, Zhou Yuanhang said with some feelings: "The selection and replacement of F14 fighter jets is a typical struggle between the Morgan consortium and the First Citibank consortium, and the war between American consortiums often involves countless subsidiaries in seven or eight industries, and the battlefield scope includes politics, economics, science, and media, and almost spreads to the entire social system. ”

"Even now this struggle shows no sign of ending, although General Electric moved back to the F14A+ project, but some of my old friends in the United States came to the news, under the influence of the First Citibank consortium, the current US Secretary of Defense Cheney is very dissatisfied with the high purchase price of F14 fighter jets, and in the end it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose the battle between Morgan and First Citi around the F14 fighter program. ”

Oriyang, who served in Rockwell, made the final addition to this consortium business war that lasted for nearly two decades.

Liang Yuan heard this, combined with some memory fragments of his previous life, he felt a sense of empowerment, Liang Yuanxin said that it is clear who wins and who loses, the future is a worse world at all, and the lower the bottom line, the less likely it is to suffer.

When the bear in the north of the republic falls, the current Secretary of Defense of the United States, Cheney, will wave the butcher's knife against the various upgrade plans of the F14 fighter.

After Zhou Yuanhang and the others finished talking about this gossip, Liang Yuan nodded with a smile and said: "Dealing with an engineer disguised as a banker is definitely better than dealing with a banker disguised as an engineer. (To be continued.) )
