After signing the orders for Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engine Company and Gulfstream Aerospace Company, Han Xuan suddenly became a little curious about this aircraft engine manufacturer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Aircraft engine technology has always been one of the top achievements of human science and technology.

When the passenger plane takes off, the pressure on each blade in the turbine is equivalent to that of several London buses, which shows how strong the company's technology, manufacturing, and research and development capabilities are.

Depending on the type of business, it can also produce engines for small and medium-sized boats, such as the engine for its Riva yacht.

Sounds awesome.

But in fact, Rolls-Royce (also Rolls-Royce, referred to as Rolls-Royce in order to distinguish it from cars) is not having a good time these days.

It lost money in 1971 in developing a new aircraft engine, went bankrupt and was nationalized until 1987, when it was newly privatized.

Germany's BMW took advantage of a number of shell companies to acquire shares at a very low price and took advantage of the opportunity to achieve a controlling stake.

Last year, Rolls-Royce's profit was only more than 53 million US dollars, and it was used to invest in research and development, but the investment of the entire research and development fund was as high as more than 70 million US dollars, and in general, it was a loss.

It was able to push the stock price to $1.1 billion because it owns 32.5% of the shares of International Aero Engines.

The company was formed by Pratt Whitney of the United States, Lorle-Royce of the United Kingdom, Japan Aero Engines and the Federal Republic of Germany MTU, and their V2500 engines were officially sold in 1989 for use in the Airbus A320 passenger aircraft.

Rolls-Royce itself has the strength to develop engines, and is the only aircraft engine manufacturer that can compete with General Electric in the United States, but the gap between the two in terms of market share is too large.

The huge investment scared BMW.

Late last year, negotiations with Boeing to get them to purchase the newly developed Trent series engines ended in failure, which became the last straw that broke the psychological defense of the BMW Group directors.

At that time, the BMW Group invested in Rolls-Royce, but it only spent more than 200 million US dollars, and counting the later investment, it was less than 350 million US dollars.

So they sold their shares to Han Xuan with a profit of more than 200 million US dollars, and asked him to take over this big burden that could be made and lost......

O'Sullivan found out that Han Xuan had plans to give himself another chance, and finally put his mind at ease.

He was only sent out after BMW failed to compete with others for the position of vice president, and the possibility of returning to BMW is quite small.

It's not easy to lose this job and want to find it again.

After so many years as an executive, O'Sullivan is rich.

But the enjoyment of work is something that money can't buy, so he will go to live the ordinary life of ordinary people again, and would rather die.

In the house, while filming was still going on, Gabriel came into the house and moved a small round table out and placed it on the grass with two chairs next to it.

Joanna held the tray, placed the two cups of coffee in front of Han Xuan and O'Sullivan, and said, "Sugar and milk, please feel free to add as much as you want."

Han, this cup is yours, three spoonfuls of milk, one spoonful of sugar. ”

"Well, thank you. ”

Han Xuan smiled, then turned his head and asked O'Sullivan: "What products does the company have now?"

Although I bought this company, I didn't know much about it, and it was all handled by Mr. Anthony.

You should know that I'm usually busy. ”

O'Sullivan is convinced of this, and Rolls-Royce's old rival, General Electric, is notoriously diverse.

Industries range from aircraft engines and power generation equipment to financial services, from medical imaging and television programs to plastics.

There are about 20 second- and third-level subsidiaries directly controlled on the surface, and there are countless companies that participate in the shares.

In O'Sullivan's view, Snow Mountain Investment Company is a bit similar to it, and it is strange that the boss is not busy.

Thinking about good guys, more than 500 million dollars in shares, saying that they will be acquired, it is really casual......

He said: "Now our company is mainly involved in civil aircraft, ships, energy, and military.

Among them, ships and energy are only initially entered, and after the government capital withdrew from our Rolls-Royce, military orders have also dropped sharply, and GE has seized a large part of it.

Last year, the military ordered more than $90 million, and less than 11 percent of its profits were squeezed.

In terms of civil aviation engine manufacturing, the V2500 is now only available to international aero engine companies.

Specializing in orders for the French Airbus A320 family of aircraft, Canada's Bombardier also has the intention of cooperating with that joint venture, but it is not yet certain.

Rolls-Royce has recently developed the Trent civil turbofan engine series based on the RB211-524G/H engine series, which is the largest thrust and best performance large bypass ratio civil turbofan engine produced by the company today.

Among them, the Trent 700 series began research and development in April 1989, obtained the airworthiness certificate in January last year, and was installed on the McDonnell Douglas-12 for test flights, and the test flight was very successful.

Originally, the American McDonnell-Douglas company had the intention to purchase, but later the project was aborted.

Due to the authorities' refusal, McDonnell Douglas 12 is not intended to be marketed.

The first Airbus A330 with Trent 700 engines, which is about to be put into service in early April, they only placed an order for the first batch of 50 units, of which the profit is too small to even recover the cost of research and development, and our company's stock price has fallen by 4.9% recently.

The Trent 800 series is at the end of development and is about to be completed, and the American Boeing Company is willing to load it on the Boeing 777 aircraft for test flights.

They have three engines to choose from, and they haven't decided which one to use, but our Trent 800 has the best performance.

The test flight is scheduled for the end of this year......"

After learning about Rolls-Royce's products, Han Xuan got to know it a little bit and found that it was like a ...... An unlucky guy who doesn't meet talents?

Although it has a good product, it has been suppressed by companies such as General Electric in the market, resulting in sales not going up.

And the luck is still very bad, such as McDonnell Douglas-12, which had already decided to use its products, but the production plan was unexpectedly aborted.

Rolls-Royce is the son of the British, and during the period of nationalization, it devoted its manpower and material resources to build it, so that it has an industrial base that surpasses that of other companies.

The reason why it is now suppressed by General Electric, Han Xuan believes that there is a problem with the sales department.

An old American chaebol like General Electric, which has been developing for hundreds of years, has powerful connections all over the world, like old fritters, and bribery scandals continue one after another.

If they don't give commercial PR to those high-level government officials and company executives, give money and give gifts, why should they choose Rolls-Royce's products?

GE's aircraft engines can be a complete replacement.

In terms of gift-giving, Westerners can't do it, and it has to be done by Chinese people who are proficient in human accidents, such as their old fox grandfather.

Han Xuan thought about the doorway clearly, thinking that if he gave Luo Luo a chance, it could definitely rise to the sky, so he was a little excited to think about it, and said to O'Sullivan: "The company continues to research and develop, and I will raise funds if I am short of money."

The sales department, then I will let people take over, you are only responsible for research and development, and you don't have to worry about other aspects. ”

O'Sullivan heard the boss say that he could get financing, and his tears almost flowed out, and he stayed up for so many years, because of insufficient funds, he often stopped looking for money during the research and development period.

He was sad about this, and now he finally hugged his thighs, nodded and said, "I understand, how can the board of directors explain it?"

"If they dare to have an opinion, let those directors come to me, you don't have to listen to them. Han Xuan finished drinking coffee slowly, stood up and said, "The company is very busy, how can you go back to the UK?"

"I booked a flight to New York, and there was a flight to London in the evening, which one would I take.

So, if it's all right, I'll go first, boss. O'Sullivan said goodbye.

"Alright, Jason, let Mr. Benjamin take him to Billings in a helicopter......"

Fat Ding waited for a long time.

It was an anxious man, and when he saw that his master was busy, he was already so anxious that he rolled all over the ground, and his body was covered with blades of grass.

At this moment, he found that they had finally finished talking, and hurriedly ran to Han Xuan, his front paws swaying to attract attention, and he sang "Meow ~ Meow

Well.

Although singing the American national anthem is a bit out of tune, it really proves that it has a specialty and is not a lazy cat who can only eat and sleep...... (To be continued.) )
