Chapter 629: Smash me with an order
【Broadcast】Pay attention to the Biquge www.biquge.info study, get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and the students who have not grabbed the red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
"What is now certain is that we Saudi Airlines will add 20 confirmed orders, and if we add the previous orders placed at the Dubai Air Show, this is a total of 40 confirmed orders and 30 intent orders, which is our Saudi Airlines' affirmation of the first flight of the MPC-75, and it is also a support for the entire R&D team to fulfill your obligations."
The Saudi representatives, who yesterday made all kinds of nonsense about the MPC-75 project, are now taking the lead in increasing the number of orders, making Saudi Airlines, which at first did not seem to have too many orders, become the second largest purchaser after Emirates, which is quite a sensation for a while.
From this point of view, Saudi Arabia is still very good, and the thorn is the thorn, but at the critical moment, he can really spend his blood hard, which is very satisfying. Of course, what makes Yang Hui most optimistic is that Saudi Airlines is indeed generous enough, according to the catalog price of 51 million US dollars provided this time, Saudi Arabia only asked for a 35% reduction in the price, and was willing to sell at a unit price of 33 million US dollars.
Don't look at the purchase of this aircraft, it has plunged by 35 percent, but people who really know know that this is already a super tyrant buyer, in this era of almost unlimited scenery, everyone is optimistic about the civil aircraft manufacturing market. But few people know that the final transaction price of these civil aircraft is usually much lower than the list price.
As a typical example, the empty shell A320, which is now half a circle larger than the basic MPC-75. According to the catalogue price given by Airbus, it is $70 million a plane, but the real transaction price will never be that much. Even after the sharp depreciation of the dollar in 2010, the Airbus A320 was still sold for between $45 million and $55 million. The price gap here is so big, it's so big that people are stunned.
In this case, it is like buying clothes outside (the kind that can be bargained), you look at the price of hundreds or thousands of clothes on the tag, but after you ask the price, the boss will reduce a large part on this basis, and then the customer will cut the price, and most of the final transaction prices can be lower and more outrageous, which are often far lower than the catalog price (tag price), and it is more normal to reach the transaction price of five or six discounts.
That's how it is when buying clothes. The same is true when you go to buy a civil airliner, and even the final discount is not much different, five percent off is more common, but it is generally hovering in the middle of four to six discounts, and now the orders sold to Saudi Airlines are only reduced by 35 percent of the catalog price (six or five percent off), which is already a lot of money.
In reality, airlines and aircraft manufacturers announced purchase contracts, and it looks like a 737 and 320 aircraft are priced at $70 million or $80 million. But that's whether the tag price is good or not, if you really believe it, then it's either a layman, or you're fooling people, what is the real transaction price. This is a secret between the buyer and the seller, and even the price confidentiality agreement is attached to the purchase contract.
Therefore, this time Saudi Arabia gave a purchase price of 33 million US dollars. It is already very enviable, in the nineties Airbus A320 got some low orders. That's pretty much it.
Today's MPC-75 has also faintly soared, and the Middle East now has a combined order for 170 aircraft. In Europe, because of the influence of German industrial giants such as MBB, and the German government is also supporting this project, the special geographical environment of Europe determines that it does have the market of Zài, otherwise the previous A318 would not have such a large sales, and the large and small European sporadic orders add up to more than 100 and close to 200 aircraft.
On the German side, Lufthansa was the first airline to give the MPC-75 an initial order, and 20 confirmed and 30 aircraft were indeed a lot, but now it has been surpassed by Emirates and even by the small Saudi Airlines, and the Lufthansa representative, who also participated in the first flight of the MPC-75, only three days after Saudi Airlines announced an increase in orders.
"We announce that Lufthansa has confirmed a firm order for 50 additional MPC-75 aircraft, which, in addition to the company's previously announced purchase order, now has a total of 70 confirmed orders and 30 intended orders, which will be used for point-to-point flights between small and medium-sized European cities."
As the initial order party for the MPC-75 project, Lufthansa, as one of the top five civil aviation companies in the world, has made a generous move. Even Emirates can only bow to the wind, although it is also an order of 100 aircraft, but Lufthansa is a 70 confirmed order, and the UAE is an order of 70 aircraft, who can sit on the throne of the first order company, which is already obvious.
When Lufthansa announced the purchase news, Yang Hui's heart was dripping blood! As a veteran civil aviation company, Lufthansa is proficient in procurement negotiation skills, and has fiercely pushed the price to the price of 25 million US dollars, although this price is not too low, there is still some room for profit.
In addition to all aspects, it still has a profit margin of several hundred dollars per flight, and at the same time, it is necessary to take into account the influence of Lufthansa, after placing a large order here, it can naturally drive many small airlines to follow suit, which is still in the rookie stage of MPC-75, it is precious good news.
After that, Emirates did not increase the number of orders in their hands, and did not even have orders that were intended to be confirmed, which is really a pole.
However, if you think about it, you will find that this may have something to do with the market demand assessed by Emirates, after all, not all airlines can be as good as Lufthansa, and it is still unknown whether the Middle East will be willing to accept the MPC-75 aircraft.
As Yang Hui expected, even without Emirates' increase, after Lufthansa announced an increase in orders, some other small airlines that originally purchased MPC-75 have more or less increased their orders, adding up to 20 smaller aircraft.
At the end of the first flight, after sending off the gods of all parties, it was found that the number of orders for MPC-75 had increased by nearly 100 because of the success of the first flight, and the total number of aircraft was almost 500, which also made everyone happy, as long as these orders can be completed in the end, then it means that the research and development cost of MPC-75 can be recovered.
This also means that another thing is on the table, the MPC-75 project is now indeed the final assembly of the United Airliner Company, and the planned final assembly line of the German MBB company is to require the aircraft to be confirmed for more than 600 aircraft before the European final assembly line will be set up in Germany.
As for why the European final assembly line was set up in Germany, this is not only a clear point in the signing of the MPC-75 cooperative development contract at that time, but also Yang Hui's personal view is very necessary.
Now even if the MPC-75 assembly line is no longer set up in MBB, or Yang Hui tries to delay the time, but it still can't stop the Germans from entering the civil aviation manufacturing industry, and the pace of setting up the assembly line in Germany, forced into the previous face of the Airbus company under the hands of the French, and finally agreed to set up a second A320 assembly line in Germany in the late 90s: A318/319 are all assembled and rolled off the assembly line in German factories, and the production efficiency of the two factories is almost the same more than ten planes every month.
In contrast, the last A320 final assembly and delivery center set up by Airbus in Tianjin, the Republic of China, is really weak, with only 4 aircraft off the assembly line every month, how do you compare with the production number of the entire A320 series can be an average of one aircraft per day?
