Aircraft manufacturing is not a money-making industry, the development cost is extremely high, R & D and production cycle is very slow, this year to invest a billion dollars to start a new model of research and development project, maybe three years later, a billion dollars spent to find that the civil aviation market has changed, immediately stop or change to other projects, this year 100 million dollars to order out an aircraft, maybe three years later to produce and sell to others, if the dollar in the middle has depreciated, then the order after delivery may lose money, this industry looks like a very high-end, But in terms of earning power, ten Airbuses combined are not as good as one Google, and twenty Airbuses together are barely on par with Face, and Apple's annual profitability can be worth at least thirty Airbuses -- 1 --

Aircraft builders, not selling mobile phones and computers to make money, even not as good as a website to make money, you can imagine how hard this industry is, even those who manufacture world-class fighter jets, bombers of the enterprise to say that it is not good, but in fact it is not so glamorous, although the government invests in research and development, but this is because the product can not be exported or can not be exported at will, so the cost of research and development is paid by the government, to the production link, enterprises basically have to bear their own profits and losses.

If the U.S. government gives Lockheed . Martin spent 10 billion dollars to develop an F40 fighter jet, Lockheed. After Martin developed it, assuming that an F40 costs $1 billion, the U.S. government said, "Okay, I'll give you $100 billion, and I'll order 100 of them first." Lockheed. Martin will definitely wave his hand and say, "Come on, you, even if it's a billion dollars." 100 billion dollars is 100 planes, but it takes a long time to build 100 planes. In case the dollar depreciates in the middle, then this 100 billion dollar order will not only not make a penny, but also have to lose all your pants.

In this case, you have to get a floating contract from the U.S. government, that is, even though the price is a billion dollars a plane. However, at the time of delivery, it must be re-evaluated according to the currency value at the time, combined with the purchasing power of one billion US dollars at the time of the contract, and if the currency is depreciated. Increase the purchase unit price, only in this way can you ensure profitability.

This kind of hard business, even if Zhang Wenhao monopolizes all the civil airliners in the world, it is not as good as Dongchen Electronics to sell some casually...... makes a lot of money, but Zhang Wenhao still puts it in an extremely important position, not trying to make money, just exporting gas, even if he loses money, Zhang Wenhao must also start his own aircraft manufacturing project.

It is with this mentality in mind. Zhang Wenhao deliberately dug a big hole in front of Airbus, and also dug a big hole behind Boeing, he can foresee that once Airbus collapses, the Europeans will definitely not have the strength to continue to maintain Airbus's debt and loss-making operations, they were originally in the context of economic depression, and their auto industry has suffered a great impact, and the economic situation is a few more severe, if Airbus falls. And if you make a move at the right time, I'm afraid that even if the Europeans sell Airbus at the price of cabbage, they will definitely not rot it in their own hands.

With this in mind, Zhang Wenhao boarded his BBJ2 business jet, took off from Zhonghai, and flew directly to Seattle, USA, where Boeing's headquarters and most of the production lines are located.

This time, Zhang Wenhao's plan to go to the United States is open to the public, and the American media has already carried out overwhelming reports on it, because as far as the Americans are concerned, they think that Dongchen is a company with a very good relationship with the United States. Now, in the minds of the American people, it can be said that Eaststar has the best reputation and the most favorable overseas company, and this time, Eaststar will take the lead in opening the export business of Dongchen engines to American airlines, which makes Americans very happy. …,
