………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Airbus is an aviation consortium jointly owned by Europe's two largest arms supply manufacturers, the European Aeronautics and Space Corporation and British Aerospace Systems, including companies from Germany, France, Spain and the United Kingdom. He was founded in response to the dominance of American aircraft, with the goal of surpassing Boeing and McDonnell Douglas.
Although Airbus has products that compete with Boeing on other models, it has always been a blank in the market for large long-range civil transport aircraft, and although it has launched Airbus A340, it still cannot shake the absolute dominance of Boeing 747.
Although Airbus' large airliner Airbus A380 made its first commercial flight on October 25, 2007, it has not yet been launched. If Zeng Cheng remembers correctly, on July 9 this year, Singapore Airlines launched its first A380 flight from Singapore to Xiangjiang.
Therefore, for the time being, the large passenger aircraft with about 500 seats is still the dominant force of Boeing, and if they want to occupy this part of the market, they need to wait until the A380 is launched on a large scale to have this opportunity.
At present, Airbus is very keen on the development of 500 to 800-seat large civil aviation transport aircraft, aiming to seize the large passenger aircraft market controlled by Boeing, and at the same time, the company has also put forward the inference of the future development of civil aviation, believing that the future development of the world's civil aviation transport aircraft will continue to develop to large-scale, and thus put forward the concept of hub radiation, that is, passengers converge to the hub airport through regional flights, and then transported to another hub airport by large transport aircraft, and finally take regional passenger aircraft to the destination.
Although Airbus personnel know that Xianyuan Airlines intends to buy its own aircraft, they are not very clear about the specific type and quantity, after all, the source of the information they got is from the Chinese government, and recently in the negotiations between the two officials on the normalization of diplomatic relations, the Chinese side has proposed a possible order for Airbus to place a $3 billion order.
Airbus is very excited about this intention, and this is not the first time that a Chinese airline has purchased an Airbus aircraft. Since 1985, when the Civil Aviation Administration of China introduced the first Airbus aircraft, China's major airlines have purchased more than 500 Airbus aircraft in the past 20 years.
To show its focus on the Chinese market, Airbus has even built an aircraft assembly plant in Jinmen, China, where the first aircraft is expected to be assembled by the middle of this year. This is Airbus' only final assembly plant outside of France and Germany.
Although Zeng Cheng had seen the landscape of the aircraft production plant on TV before, he still felt a little shocked when he came to the scene this time, no wonder such a big guy could be put down here, the plant is so big!
According to the person in charge of the reception, they now have about 40,000 employees. Distributed in various factories in four countries, if a large number of new orders can be obtained this year, thousands of more jobs can be solved.
"This is the gap!" Zeng Cheng said to a staff member beside him, "Billions of dollars in orders are just to add thousands of jobs, if it is in our country, how many people will be needed to complete it?"
Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads. China can only be a labor-intensive industry, and there is no competitiveness in these high-tech projects. It is really an unattainable thing to achieve overall development and improve the domestic technology level by introducing foreign second-rate or even third-rate technology.
The Frenchman who accompanied them could not understand Chinese, and the translator was brought by Zeng Cheng, so naturally he would not disclose the topic of this multi-billion dollar order to him. Otherwise, I believe that the French who like to make noise will definitely open champagne in advance to celebrate.
In the face of the visit of such a large potential customer, it is to send someone to accompany the visit, and at noon I invited a working meal.
As for the quality of working meals, Zeng Cheng thinks that this is probably the reason why Europeans are generally obese, and the combination of meals is a bit unreasonable, just like using feed to breed workers in captivity.
After they had finished eating, they talked about things for a while, and then they went back to their rooms.
When Zeng Cheng returned to his suite, he suddenly found that the door could not be opened, so he called the hotel waiter.
The waiter swiped his room card twice, but the door didn't open, so he felt a little strange, and muttered something in his mouth, Zeng Cheng didn't understand, but the translator in the next room ran out when he heard the news, and explained to Zeng Cheng: "He said that it seems that there is a problem with the electronic management system, and he needs to find a technician to overhaul it." ”
Zeng Cheng suddenly felt a little unhappy, he lived in a luxury suite, and he couldn't open the door, so if it was replaced by an ordinary room, would the problem be more serious?
Zeng Cheng was slandering here, but he heard as if there was something strange in the room, as if someone was pulling the glass doors and windows.
It stands to reason that at this time, it is not time to clean, and it is impossible for anyone to stay in the room, so how can there be such a noise?
So Zeng Cheng felt that something was wrong with the situation, could it be that a spy or a thief sneaked into his room? Among the things he brought over, although there were no too important documents, there were also a lot of cash, and if he was stolen like this, wouldn't it seem that he was too incompetent?
At that moment, he yelled, and his body directly hit the door panel, and the hard walnut door panel was like paper paste under Zeng Cheng's collision, and it broke in response, and the wood chips flew to the ground.
The waiter who rushed over was horrified to see a large human-shaped hole in the hard wooden door, and the gentleman who lived in the luxury suite actually crashed into the room, leaving debris all over the floor.
When Zeng Cheng's body rushed in, he saw a person in a black leotard rolling over and jumping out of the window.
Damn, this is more than 20 meters above the ground! Zeng Chengxin said that I don't dare to jump directly from here for such an awesome person, but today I met an even more awesome person.
However, thinking that this guy was of unknown origin and might have stolen something from him, Zeng Cheng decided that he couldn't let him go. So his body accelerated suddenly, and he rushed to the window in an instant, and his left hand had already hit the back of the man in black. Yin Li was dark, and he was hit hard, but his right hand pulled the leather bag he was carrying on his back and ripped it off.
Originally, Zeng Cheng thought that if he pulled it like this, he would bring the man in black back to the window. As a result, I didn't expect that the leather bag was actually loose and loose, and the strap was not strong, so it was torn off.
The man in black, who was hit by himself, let out a muffled snort, and then his body bounced out of the window and fell down.
Zeng Cheng's heart was broken, and he had to fall to his death now. If you go abroad, you have to get into a life lawsuit, which is really not cost-effective.
However, when Zeng Cheng leaned to the window and looked out, he found that the man in black slid along a long sling into the distance, and disappeared into the trees opposite.
At this time, it was getting late, and Zeng Cheng could only see a rough idea, feeling that the figure of the man in black was very slim, like a woman, but he didn't see the long flowing hair. Therefore, Zeng Cheng concluded that this person must be a girl with short hair.
The reason why he thought it was a girl had something to do with the palm he just hit. When he hits the man in black, he finds that the other's skeleton structure is exactly like that of a woman. Because foreign men on the French side are more sturdy, and there is a big difference in body flexibility between men and women, so the touch is different.
Zeng Cheng also felt very strange, the other party was hit by his own palm and could still support the escape, it was really not simple, he should be a master of burglary, otherwise it would be impossible to bear his own palm.
"Where could this man come from?"
Zeng Cheng looked at the leather bag of the man in black he snatched with some curiosity, and he didn't know what was inside. He rummaged the bag in his hand a few times, and then saw the mark LV on it.
It's actually Louis Vuitton's leather bag, and it seems that this man in black is really a woman. The big men come out to steal, who will use this kind of eye-piercing leather bag?
However, before Zeng Cheng could see what was inside, the hotel's security guards and managers rushed over. The French, too, were a bit shocked to see the hard walnut door smashed into sawdust.
The manager's psychological quality is better, and he came to ask Zeng Cheng what terrible things happened.
So Zeng Cheng, with the help of the translator, described what happened just now, and heard a few French people roll their eyes strangely, and they all leaned on the window to look down, and sure enough, they found the wire rope used by the thief when he escaped.
"Mr. Zeng, their manager said that this kind of thing happened because the hotel's security work was not done properly, so the losses here are all compensated by the hotel. But you don't know what you've lost, the belongings of the guests here are protected. In the event of a theft, the hotel will contact the insurance company to investigate and compensate for the theft. The translator stated the other party's meaning to Zeng Cheng.
Zeng Cheng was still satisfied with the positive attitude of the hotel, so he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you lose something, but can this gate be repaired as soon as possible? ”
After listening to the translator's words, the manager immediately promised that it would be repaired within half an hour, and then they withdrew.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, someone brought in the new gate and began to replace it. From beginning to end, a full half an hour was not released for a minute. (To be continued.) )
