In the past, people were used to regard Soros as a saboteur in the financial field, and now, compared with Dongchen, Soros is simply a small thing, and even Soros, who has entered the sixtieth year, has publicly stated in front of the media that Dongchen himself has publicly stated that Dongchen's deterrent power in the financial field, It has far surpassed most countries in the world, and advises other countries and companies to take Japan as a model and not become the next "siege" target of Dongchen.
A large number of financial experts and capital operation masters were hired by Dongchen to open the market value assessment of Japanese iron ore assets and major Japanese companies.
If the acquisition of these Japanese companies, Zhang Wenhao can almost account for more than fifty percent of the world's productivity, the rest, at least more than thirty percent of the enterprises can not continue, will choose to cooperate with Dongchen OEM, the mobile phone market, Dongchen has formed a whale swallowing trend, and the output of household appliances can at least account for more than three percent of the world's total output, swallow up Japanese enterprises, and then turn around to merge domestic enterprises or cooperate with domestic enterprises, Dongchen home appliances can also become the mainstream products of the world home appliance market in a very short period of time.
Before the acquisition was completed, Zhang Wenhao handed over the matter of Dongchen Electronics to James and Zhang Ranran, who had just been involved in this industry, and he ran to Zhonghai. Continuing to tinker with the industrial manufacturing that he loved, with all the engines of GM and Pratt & Whitney transferred to China Shipping, it was time for Dongchen Aerospace to launch high-thrust engines.
High-thrust engines are suitable for medium and large civil aviation passenger aircraft and cargo aircraft, such as A380 and Boeing 747, which are generally equipped with four high-thrust engines and large loads, while medium and large wide-body passenger aircraft such as 777, 787 and A330 also need at least two high-thrust engines to ensure the load capacity. and to meet the needs of long-distance flights across the ocean.
Now the vast majority of civil airliners use twin engine configuration, and the twin configuration of medium and large passenger aircraft, a single engine thrust requirements are higher than the four-engine configuration, for example, in the Boeing 777 series, the engine with the highest thrust of a single engine even reached nearly 50 tons, and the lowest is more than 30 tons, and the thrust of a single engine is between 30-40 tons for four-engine aircraft.
High-thrust engines are very important to the civil aviation system, and low-thrust engines are mostly suitable for domestic short- and medium-haul routes. And there is no transoceanic flight involved, however. Once the aircraft needs to fly across the ocean, then it must meet the requirements of ETOPS extended range operation, and the relationship between long-distance flight distance and fuel consumption and cost is very embarrassing, for example, for a flight of 10,000 kilometers, the aircraft must be fully loaded with at least ten tons or even more fuel, and although the full load of fuel ensures the flight range of the aircraft, due to the increased fuel weight, fuel consumption is also invisibly greatly increased. If Dongchen's technology is adopted, the same twin-engine wide-body passenger aircraft, flying the same range, only needs to consume 60% of the fuel, which is not only a 40% fuel saving, because the fuel weight at take-off is reduced by 40%, so the comprehensive fuel consumption is calculated. The savings rate is 40% higher, and if the fuel weight saved is used for commercial loading, it is profitable. It can also generate more revenue for airlines.
Because Zhang Wenhao's positioning is to reduce the operating costs of domestic routes and provide more preferential civil aviation services to the vast majority of domestic passengers, Zhang Wenhao's development plan for the initial stage of Dongchen Aviation Engineering has been committed to the production and manufacturing of small thrust engines, covering most of the aircraft Boeing 737, Airbus 320 series, or wide-body passenger aircraft suitable for short- and medium-haul routes, but now the domestic hot routes have been basically covered by Dongchen Aviation's engines, and the production capacity has been greatly improved. It also prompted Zhang Wenhao to decide to develop the product line of Dongchen Aviation, and develop at least two more series of engines to cover the needs of a variety of medium and large passenger aircraft.
DC2-1, the thrust is 35-40 tons, which can be customized and adjusted at the factory according to user requirements, and the thrust has a fluctuation of about 5 tons.
DC2-2 with a thrust of 40-45 tons.
DC3-1 with a thrust of 48-53 tons.
The three engines of these two series, plus the previous DC1-1, are basically enough to cover the needs of all the current mainline passenger aircraft and cargo aircraft, and once these three engines are off the assembly line, then international air transport will also face a big price reduction, which means a greater profit ratio for airlines.
Dongchen's big thrust engine has always been expected by Boeing, the proportion of transoceanic routes in Western airlines is far more important than that of Chinese airlines, between dozens of countries in Europe and the United States, the entry and exit of nationals are very close, and there are extremely loose visa-free agreements between countries, residents basically only need to apply for a passport, they can shuttle between Europe and the United States at will, if the cost of transoceanic routes is reduced, then it will be a great promotion for low- and middle-class people to travel abroad.
After Xiao Er formulated the manufacturing specifications of the three engines, Zhang Wenhao began to produce prototypes of these three engines in Zhonghai, and Raymond, who was far away in Seattle, was also the first to receive the news that Dongchen began to manufacture high-power engines, and the excited Raymond decided to lease three aircraft from Dongchen for the testing of new engines, 777, 787 and 747-8, three new medium and large passenger aircraft.
GM and Pratt & Whitney's production line already has a very high level of hardware, and its overall strength is higher than the engine production line that Zhang Wenhao took over from COMAC before, I don't know how many times, Xiao Er's transformation of these two production lines is also very rapid, in just a few days, these production lines that have just been purchased from the United States have begun to undertake production tasks.
The three engines rolled off the assembly line in less than half a month, and for Zhang Wenhao, there is a small two and a super learning system, and he produces anything by himself. Only need to complete the production process, the design, verification and various tests are omitted in the front, and although the whole machine test is inevitable in the back, the success rate must be 100%, and there will be no deviation.
Just when the three engines rolled off the assembly line and began to conduct ground tests, French President FranΓ§ois Hollande arrived in China for a friendly visit, Zhang Wenhao originally did not care about Hollande's visit to China, thinking that this kind of thing had nothing to do with his own eight poles, but on the second day of Hollande's arrival in Yanjing, he submitted a request to the Chinese side to visit Dongchen. According to the general international practice, if the head of another country wants to inspect his own enterprise, as long as the enterprise does not involve national defense science and technology and secrets, his country will generally not refuse out of politeness, and Dongchen has secretly built diesel engines and submarine propellers for the country, on the surface, although it is a high-tech and high-end industrial enterprise, the business involved has nothing to do with national defense science and technology, and it is difficult for the Chinese side to refuse this request. instructed Zhang Wenhao to prepare for the reception.
Director Liu personally called Zhang Wenhao's mobile phone and explained the words. Zhang Wenhao was not easy to refuse, so he said: "Since this is the case, then you can ask him which company or production base he wants to inspect Dongchen, and tell me after confirming it, I will arrange the reception, but it is best not to have more than one, all the companies, branches and all the production lines and production bases of Dongchen now, he had better choose only one." β
Director Liu said with a smile: "People are here for Dongchen Aviation, and I heard that Dongchen Aviation has completed the integration of GM and Pratt & Whitney production lines. And the new engine has been tested in the laboratory, so people proposed to go to China Shipping to inspect the production base of Dongchen Aviation. β
"Oh!" Zhang Wenhao smacked his lips and said, "That's okay, it just so happens that I'm in Zhonghai, you arrange the specific time and process, and I will definitely actively cooperate here." β
Director Liu said with a smile: "Reception is just a face-saving job, but it doesn't matter. The most important thing is, what do you think Hollande took the initiative to go to Dongchen Aviation this time? β
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said, "It must be for the engine of Dongchen Aerotech, he is here to open the way for Airbus this time." β
"Yes." Director Liu said: "We think so too. Although he didn't say it now, once he met with you, he would definitely put forward a request for cooperation between Dongchen Aerospace and Airbus, and when the time comes, all major media will follow the interview, if the president of a country makes a request to you in front of the whole world, and you refuse, the taste of this thing is a little wrong, I know that you want to wait for Airbus to sustain it when it is in the bag, but if you directly refuse the president of a country, there will be various problems and arguments. β
Zhang Wenhao snorted and said, "I'll find a way to deal with it." β
"That'll do." Director Liu instructed: "You have to take care of yourself, if you really can't avoid it, you can sign a contract with him symbolically at that time, and give Airbus a certain quota in small amounts." β
"I see."
Hung up the phone of Director Liu, Zhang Wenhao was unhappy for a while, seeing that Airbus is becoming more and more difficult, the French are here to find a breakthrough route for Airbus, although Airbus is not as good as Boeing in the field of civil aviation, but over the years it has been constantly narrowing the distance between Boeing, Airbus's models are often newer than Boeing, and the design is more modern in all aspects, coupled with better handling and pilotability, it has also accumulated a certain competitiveness for Airbus, but now Airbus can't get Dongchen's engine, and his new plane is difficult to sell. Can't sell a new plane, no matter how good the aircraft is built, Airbus has tried to negotiate with Dongchen many times and was rejected by Zhang Wenhao, but now the French president is in the name of a friendly visit, to come to Dongchen Aviation to inspect and meet with himself, if he refuses the president of a country in front of the world, this is obviously a little unreasonable, I am afraid that the whole of Europe will have certain opinions and views on Dongchen, and Europe is the third largest market of Dongchen, the potential value and space are far greater than Japan and South Korea, if it is not handled well, It will inevitably have a certain impact on the interests of Dongchen.
But Zhang Wenhao can't really let go of the ban on Airbus because of the president's face, otherwise, Airbus will return to the situation of competing with Boeing and the two tigers, and how can he still have the opportunity to get Airbus in his pocket at that time? If this opportunity is missed, then Zhang Wenhao's desire to manufacture aircraft by himself may be delayed for at least several years, and the world's Boeing and Airbus companies really have the hardware strength to manufacture civil airliners in large quantities, and the broken production line of COMAC is not as good as Airbus's A320 production line 20 years ago. If it develops slowly on its production line, I'm afraid it won't be possible in five or eight years.
This made Zhang Wenhao a little unable to advance and retreat all of a sudden, and he could not directly refuse the reasonable cooperation request of the president of a country, and he had already lowered his body and came over in person, and he would bite it again, which would obviously have a certain impact on Sino-European relations, after all, when the Chinese leaders went to Europe to sign the high-speed train contract, the Europeans were very cheerful and face-saving.
Can't refuse. Naturally, he can't agree, the only thing Zhang Wenhao can use is the strategy of delaying the army, but the strategy of delaying the army can be used for a while and a half, and after using it for a long time, it is not called the strategy of delaying the army, and it becomes a fool, fooling the president of a country, which is a more serious crime than rejecting the president of a country, so it is more serious. This incident also made Zhang Wenhao very sad for a while.
However, Zhang Wenhao did not have much time to think about how to deal with Hollande. Because Yanjing quickly gave a specific plan, the day after tomorrow at 7 o'clock in the morning, Hollande and his wife will take off from Yanjing to Zhonghai by special plane, the high-level also sent the prime minister and the Ministry of Commerce to accompany the company, before nine o'clock the plane will land in Zhonghai, and then, under the arrangement of the Zhonghai government, directly from the airport to the production base of Dongchen Aviation.
Zhang Wenhao could only order his subordinates to prepare welcome banners and other items against his will, and sent someone to organize a series of welcome ceremonies for the face project. The day before his arrival, a large number of security personnel were stationed at Dongchen to conduct safety assessments on all aspects of Dongchen Aviation and deploy security strategies in advance.
Zhang Wenhao also came up with the specific process of the inspection a day in advance, and the welcome ceremony began at ten o'clock, and at half past ten he took the Chinese and French leaders to the production line of Dongchen Aerospace Engineering to take a walk and take a look. The key point is to let them take a look at the production line that Dongchen has just received from GM and Pratt & Whitney, and then they have to make a "work report" to the leaders to report the current general situation of Dongchen Aerospace and the testing of three new engines of Dongchen Aviation. If necessary, take everyone to the test laboratory.
Since the purpose of Hollande's trip must be to find a way to break through for Airbus, then during the entire inspection period, Hollande may request cooperation in front of the media at any time, and how should he deal with this unscrupulous head of state? β¦β¦
At 8:50 a.m. that day, Hollande's special plane landed directly at the test airport of COMAC, because the test field of COMAC was completely closed, so it avoided a lot of possible accidents, and also turned away the media who were not invited, Zhang Wenhao waited on the runway with Dongchen employee representatives, leaders of China Shipping and the ambassador of the French Consulate in China Shipping, seeing Hollande and his wife walking out of the open cabin door, the two waved to the media below before going down the spiral staircase, Then he walked down the spiral ladder unhurriedly.
In the greeting procession, Zhang Wenhao stood behind the leaders of Zhonghai, and after Hollande shook hands with the leaders of Zhonghai, he walked in front of Zhang Wenhao, although Hollande has not been good at distinguishing the appearance of Asians, but he still recognized Zhang Wenhao at a glance.
Hollande has a very deep memory of Zhang Wenhao's face, although he has never really met, but because Zhang Wenhao has recently appeared on behalf of Dongchen many times and led many significant financial projects, Hollande also deeply remembers the "Zhang Yidao" in the mouth of this global media.
Hollande stretched out his hand to Zhang Wenhao, according to common sense, he should say hello in French or English, when he shook hands with the leaders of the Zhonghai government just now, he used English "Nice to meet you" to greet everyone one by one, but when he arrived at Zhang Wenhao, when he opened his mouth, it was pronounced in Chinese: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, I really admire you for a long time!" β
Zhang Wenhao was stunned by his words, he didn't know that Hollande began to repeatedly memorize this Chinese sentence before coming to China, this is still his special adviser on China to support him, Chinese love face, and once the other party's courtesy is too high, the Chinese will always be put off the stage, Hollande also hopes to use such an unconventional way in front of the media to say hello to Zhang Wenhao, a Chinese entrepreneur, the French believe that this clip will definitely surprise the global media and report it, Although it seems a little too humble and polite for the French president, it is enough to drag Zhang Wenhao into the water, so the question thrown to Zhang Wenhao is: Hollande attaches so much importance to you as the president of a country, if you refuse to talk to you about business later, then you are the sinner on the snake in the eyes of the world.
Zhang Wenhao couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart, and said in his heart that you are a good plan! This idea eight achievements were given to you by the Chinese, you said, I really don't feel flattered, but it is inevitable that you can't get off the stage, is it necessary to give me face so much for Airbus?
In desperation, Zhang Wenhao had no choice but to return in French: "Your Excellency President, I am also very happy and honored to be able to meet you here, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to inspect Dongchen Aviation, your arrival is not only the honor of Dongchen Aviation, but also the honor of the entire Dongchen Group, on behalf of all the employees of Dongchen, thank you for your love to Dongchen, and wish the friendship between China and France will last forever." β
Now Hollande was stupid, he didn't calculate that Zhang Wenhao could speak so fluently and almost couldn't hear a little accent and problem French, how did he know that Zhang Wenhao had exchanged the skill packages of several mainstream languages in the world in order to let Xiao Er do a good job in the A2 interactive system, Hollande was annoyed that he didn't learn a few more words of Chinese, he thought he had put a high hat on Zhang Wenhao, but he didn't think that his mouth was like a machine gun, and he responded to countless high hats, although Zhang Wenhao's high hat was not as big as his, But at least it's more than that......
