Chapter 945 - Don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice
The reporters were very happy, Chen Geng, who was also in a good mood, was holding a piece of paper in his hand at the moment, and his brows were furrowed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Looking at the content on the paper, and then at Mao Donghai, Chen Geng frowned, with an annoyed face: "What are the British still doing?!" β
Mao Donghai's brows were also furrowed: "This...... Could it be something wrong? β
"Mistaken? This kind of thing can go wrong? With a sneer, Chen Geng waved the paper in his hand twice at Mao Donghai: "Do you think that as a large company and our engine supplier, this kind of thing will be wrong?!" β
Chen Geng was really out of anger, and his good mood completely disappeared without a trace!
As a partner, since they have all come to Xifei, of course, it is impossible for me not to visit Mao Donghai, but just when the two were chatting happily, Xifei received an official letter from BMW-Luo Luo, the original confirmed supplier of the MPC-75 aircraft, claiming that the price of the BR-710/715 engine will increase by 15% to 20% due to the insufficient estimation of R&D costs, the rise in international raw material prices, and the insufficient estimation of the increase in workers' wages!
As for the detailed increase figures, BMW-Ronaldo said that they will notify partners after accurately calculating multiple factors such as R&D costs, rising raw material prices, and workers' wages, and will do their best to help partners reduce procurement costs.
"Probably not, right? β¦β¦ Forget it, I'll ask someone again," Although Mao Donghai's brows were also very wrinkled, the deep Sichuan character pattern estimated that it would be no problem to trap a few mosquitoes, but he was still a little hesitant: "It's not uncommon for development costs to overrun......
"Mr. Mao, it's not the first day you've dealt with these Western aviation companies, is it possible that you haven't suffered enough of their losses?" Chen Geng sneered and said.
BMW-Rolls-Royce is a German BMW company (that's right, the BMW that made the car) and the British Rolls-Royce company jointly established in 1990, focusing on medium-thrust turbofan engine manufacturing enterprises, of which BMW holds 50.5% of the shares, and Rolls-Royce company, one of the world's three largest aero engines, holds 49.5% of the shares, with the purpose of producing and manufacturing the most suitable 100-seater quasi-trunk aircraft required by the turbofan engine with good economy and high reliabilityto complement Rolls-Royce's portfolio of turbofan engines for civil use.
Of course, this collaboration also hides another idea from Rolls-Royce: to design an engine with sufficient potential to compete with the CFM56 and V2500 series for the 90 to 120 kn thrust class aero engines in a suitable situation.
Now that the design of their first engine, the BR710, has been completed and the first prototypes for flight and test work are nearing completion, according to BMW-Royce's plans, the BR710 engine is expected to be certified in 1996 and the improved BR715 in 1998.
That is to say, when the BR710 and BR715 are still in the research and development stage, the aviation industry of the Republic has already provided great support to BMW-Luo Luo - although this support is not what Runhua Industry is willing to do, but the agreement signed between MBB and Luo Luo, but since this project is a cooperation project with MBB, for market considerations, Chen Geng will admit it, but Nima you BMW-Luo Luo Yete is not a thing, right? As I said earlier, now you turn your heads and play with Lao Tzu like this?
What kind of character is Chen Geng? He never eats other people's threats, looking at Mao Donghai, Chen Geng said unceremoniously: "Mr. Mao, let me say it bluntly, this price increase is simply the Germans and the British joining forces to blackmail us, I will resolutely not agree, if BMW-Rowe Rowe says that the price must be raised, then everyone will go through the legal process!" Now it's up to you. β
"Brother, don't get excited, don't get excited, we're not on that yet," Mao Donghai hurriedly stopped him, he was too familiar with Chen Geng, don't look at these domestic business CEOs who heard about lawsuits with foreigners, maybe they would be cowardly if they didn't fight this lawsuit, but Chen Geng is different, this guy has never been scared of lawsuits or something, he said that if he wants to fight a lawsuit with BMW-Luo Luo, then he will definitely fight a lawsuit: "Why don't we communicate with BMW-Luo Luo again and ask what is going on?" β
"What's there to ask about that?" Chen Geng snorted and said honestly: "Don't care what they say, this is simply an excuse, their purpose is to increase the price!" Speaking of this, Chen Geng was completely angry: "I'm curious, an engine supply company that was just established two years ago and whose first engine could not get the airworthiness certificate until 1996 at the earliest, who gave them so much courage to dare to offend their partners?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Mao Donghai didn't speak, he was teased by Chen Geng several times, it is really impossible to say that he is not a little angry in his heart, and what Chen Geng said makes sense, you are a company that was just established two years ago, and now you don't even have a product, I'm really curious, what do you have to be angry in front of Lao Tzu?
But he is still the leader of a state-owned enterprise after all, and under the inertia of huge corporate behavior, Mao Donghai hesitated for a moment and began to make a dilution: "BMW-Luo Luo's rash price increase is definitely wrong, but is it too blunt for us to go back so hard, which will affect the relationship between the two sides?" So, let's send them a letter back and ask what the hell is going on, what do you think, brother? β
Chen Geng looked at him steadily, and nodded slowly for more than a minute: "It's okay, since you want to try, then try it, but let's say it first, I still have reservations, and I firmly don't think that BMW-Luo Luo will change his attitude." β
Mao Donghai hesitated for a moment, and said: "Probably not, even if they really want to increase the price, but if we show our attitude, they have to take care of the customer's attitude." β
Chen Geng shrugged his shoulders and didn't argue with Mao Donghai: "Although I don't think it's necessary, but ...... If you're going to give it a try, give it a try. β
In Chen Geng's view, Mao Donghai's approach is basically equivalent to begging the other party to beg "Please, your old man will be merciful, don't raise the price", but is this kind of plea useful? Why did BMW-Rowe dare to raise prices even though it knew that Runhua Industrial had already introduced NK-8?
The only reason why the British and Germans dared to raise prices at this time was that although BMW-Rowe Dingrunhua Industrial introduced the NK-8 turbofan engine from the Kuznetsov Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union, the NK-8, as the first generation of small-bypass ratio turbofan engine, could not be compared with the large-bypass ratio BR710/715 created by Rolls-Royce with all its housekeeping skills and advanced technology in almost all the key technical indicators except thrust.
Compared with the BR710/715, the fuel consumption rate of the NK-8 engine introduced by Runhua Industry from the Kuznetsov Design Bureau is indeed too high, and for the end user: airlines, even if the price of the BR710/715 is more than double that of the NK-8, the use of BR710/715 is still more cost-effective than the use of NK-8 in terms of the entire life cycle of the aircraft.
It is estimated that BMW-Rowe also understands this, so he dares to raise prices so unscrupulously: even if I raise the price, it is still cost-effective for your end customers, so I will increase the price, how to drop?
In the eyes of the German devils and the British devils, in this case, MPC basically put up with it, anyway, they can transfer this part of the rising costs to the airlines.
Chen Geng wanted to tell BMW-Rowe Rowe with a resounding slap that they had miscalculated.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
BMW-Ronaldo responded quickly, after Mao Donghai sent an official letter to BMW-Ronaldo in the name of MPC saying that he could not accept the price increase of the engine, BMW-Ronaldo quickly faxed the reply back, in the reply letter, BMW-Ronaldo made it clear and tough that due to the rise in R&D costs, the rise in raw material prices and the rise in personnel costs, BMW-Rowe Rowe will adjust the prices of all BR710 series engines sold.
In other words, BMW-Luo Luo did not give Mao Donghai face at all.
Faced with such a communication result, Mao Donghai felt that his face was hot, as if he had been slapped seventeen or eighteen times!
Looking at Mao Donghai, whose face was flushed, Chen Geng wanted to laugh very much, but after all, he was still a little embarrassed, so he had to comfort him while holding back a smile: "The ancestor said that Yi Di is afraid of power but not virtue, for these guys, we blindly tolerate them, people still think we are easy to bully, you don't know the character of these guys, if they think we are easy to bully, then don't you bully to death?" Don't think about it......"
Mao Donghai's face was getting redder and redder, and he felt that Chen Geng's words were like a loud slap in the faceβwhat he said before was still in his ears, and it turned out to be like this.
Finally couldn't help it, Mao Donghai slapped the table heavily: "It's too much of a bully!" β
Chen Geng blinked: "Huh? β
In fact, someone Chen secretly almost burst into laughter: yes!
"These Europeans are too deceitful!" Mao Donghai also realized the ambiguity in his words just now, and hurriedly said: "I'm talking about BMW-Luo Luo, how can they do this?" What is doing business? Isn't it just that there are dealings, if it's really a R&D cost overrun, it's not impossible for them to want to raise the price, let's discuss and come up with a plan that everyone can accept in the end, isn't it, it's really ...... it! β
No wonder Mao Donghai is so annoyed, it's really BMW-Luo Luo Company that doesn't give face, saying that the price will rise, saying that a 20% increase is a 20% increase, there is no room for accommodation at all, and Mao Donghai can't get off the stage at all - if everyone discusses it, even if it ends up by 5% or even 10%, it is not unacceptable, and his Mao Donghai also has some brilliance on his face, but what is going on now? You're hitting me in the face, aren't you?
"Okay, okay, don't talk about this," Chen Geng smiled and gave Mao Donghai a step: "The current situation is obvious, even if we can accept a certain degree of price increase, but BMW-Luo Luo obviously did not take our customers in their eyes, and did not respect us at all, so I mean, since people don't give us face, we don't have to give the other party face, what do you think?" β
Chen Geng gave a step, and Mao Donghai naturally got off the donkey down the slope, and said angrily: "Give a fart face!" β
It seems that Mao Donghai is indeed very angry, he never swears, but at this time he actually said swearing: "Brother, just according to your previous thoughts, let's clearly tell BMW-Luo Luo that we don't accept price increases, and we can't raise a penny!" In terms of price, it will go according to the contract......"
Without waiting for Mao Donghai to finish speaking, Chen Geng shook his head: "I'm afraid not." β
"No way?" Mao Donghai was stunned, and his eyes blinked twice: "Why not?" β
Chen Geng said helplessly: "Yesterday after I went back, I carefully studied the engine purchase contract we inherited from MBB, and there is a clear statement that if BMW-Luo Luo has sufficient evidence such as rising raw material prices, rising R & D costs, etc., they have the right to adjust the price of the engine - I believe that relying on this article, it will be difficult for us to win the lawsuit, and BMW-Luo Luo has dug the pit in advance." β
"And such a one? Isn't this an exemption clause," Mao Donghai was directly stupid: "That...... So what to do? Could it be that we can only pinch our noses and admit it? β
"Pinching your nose and admitting it? How can there be such a good thing! Chen Geng sneered: "Since people have dug a pit for us in advance and are waiting for us to jump down, then why do we still play according to the rules drawn by the other party?" Just flip the table. β
"Flip the table?" Mao Donghai suddenly waited for his eyes.
"That's right, it's just flipping the table!" Chen Geng snorted and said murderously: "It's not just their BMW-Luo Luo company that has a 100KN thrust engine, CFM International's CDFM56 series also has this low-thrust version of the model, right?" General Dynamics has that too, right? Let's clearly tell BMW-Luo Luo that if they insist on raising prices, even if Lao Tzu buys products from other people's houses that are more expensive than BR710, he will resolutely not want them, and Lao Tzu just won't bend his waist for their five buckets of rice! β
"Good!"
Listening to Chen Geng's words, Mao Donghai's heart was boiling, and he slapped his thigh heavily: "It's good that you don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice!" Brother, I won't accept anyone, I'll obey you! β
"Hehe......" Chen Geng smiled: "Brother, you don't have to worry too much, let me tell you, I can't wait to take this opportunity to terminate the cooperation agreement with BMW-Rowe Ro." β
Mao Donghai blinked: "How do you say this?" β
Suddenly thinking of a possibility in his heart, Mao Donghai's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Could it be ......?"
