Jingcheng Hotel.
In the past few days, the hotel has basically been almost contracted by Tianfeng Technology Company, which has not only prepared a hall that will be used for the press conference, but also booked a lot of rooms.
Invite people from the world's aviation industry, the reception work must be done well, no, one by one, the guest rooms will be prepared in advance, and the guests who will participate in the press conference will be arranged to stay at the Beijing Hotel.
In a small conference room.
Meetings like this will be held once or twice a day, and the main content of the meeting is generally some preparations for the press conference, as well as the arrangement and communication of some matters.
Xu Lilong is responsible for external liaison and reception, Xu Lilong said: "Boss, tomorrow we are going to hold a global press conference, and the guests who participated in the press conference have basically arrived, but GTF did not send anyone to attend our press conference. ”
Li Tianfeng smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, it seems that GTF is timid!" ”
In the conference room, everyone laughed happily......
…………
August 18, 9:08 a.m.
The global press conference of Tianfeng Technology Company was held in the Beijing Hotel as scheduled, because the preliminary publicity was in place and the preparations were in place, and the conference was very popular.
The huge press conference hall was crowded, and all the guests who were invited to participate in the press conference, under the guidance of the staff, sat in their designated positions, and a large number of Chinese and foreign media reporters set up long guns and short guns early.
Li Tianfeng and his entourage walked along the red carpet into the press conference hall, which was originally very noisy, but at this moment it was quiet, only the sound of clicking photos.
Bursts of silver light shimmered. The reporters took pictures of Li Tianfeng and his party, and the guests at the meeting also looked at Li Tianfeng and his party, and some people who were familiar with Li Tianfeng also smiled at Li Tianfeng.
Everyone from Tianfeng Technology Company sat down on the rostrum in front, and Xu Lilong served as the host of the press conference. Slowly stood up and said with a full sense of anger: "Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I will give a welcome speech on behalf of Tianfeng Technology Company......
According to the usual practice, Xu Lilong delivered an enthusiastic speech, welcoming everyone to participate in the global conference held by Tianfeng Technology Company.
Wait for the applause to subside. Xu Lilong said: "Now welcome Mr. Li Tianfeng, President of Tianfeng Technology Company, to introduce the turbofan 21 engine!" ”
Such an important global press conference was led by Li Tianfeng, who personally introduced the turbofan 21 engine.
Li Tianfeng stood up and bowed slightly to everyone, and suddenly, the warm applause rang out again, and after a long time, the applause gradually stopped. Li Tianfeng motioned to Liu Wei.
Soon, the lights in the entire launch hall dimmed. Compared with before, it is a little darker, this is so that everyone can see the engine introduction on the display screen more clearly.
In front of the press conference, a huge high-definition LCD screen, a color picture of the turbofan 21 engine was displayed in front of everyone, which was very attractive to see. Many reporters, and even many guests attending the press conference, picked up their cameras or mobile phones, took pictures frantically, and took this picture of the turbofan 21 engine.
Not only the front of the hall has a huge LCD screen. On both sides of the hall, there are also two LCD screens, and there are four on both sides, so everyone in the hall can easily see the situation on the LCD screens.
Li Tianfeng's voice was loud and penetrating, echoing throughout the press conference hall, Li Tianfeng was proficient in English, but this time, Li Tianfeng spoke standard Mandarin, and every sentence he finished was translated into English by Liu Wei.
Liu Wei's voice was clear, fluent in American English, and the two cooperated tacitly, and it took about thirty or forty minutes, full of pictures and texts, to introduce the turbofan 21 engine very comprehensively.
During the entire introduction period, the press conference hall was relatively quiet, with only the voices of Li Tianfeng and Liu Wei, and the sound of clicking photos.
The guests invited to the press conference listened very carefully and very carefully, because there was an English simultaneous translation, and the foreign guests could also understand it completely.
After Li Tianfeng's introduction, the entire press conference hall fell into a short silence, very quiet, obviously, many people were shocked.
Even if the performance parameters of the turbofan 21 engine were known before, this time, everyone was still shocked, and Li Tianfeng's illustrated introduction was obviously far more effective than seeing these introductions on the Internet.
The turbofan 21 engine is so good, the performance parameters are so excellent, such an engine completely exceeds the power of any regional airliner in service, even the engine announced by GTF before, and it is not as good as the turbofan 21 engine.
Everyone in Tianfeng Technology Company couldn't help but smile happily when they saw everyone's looks, and their hearts were extremely happy and proud.
Xu Lilong glanced at Li Tianfeng with admiration, then stood up and said loudly: "Gentlemen, ladies, Mr. Li Tianfeng's wonderful introduction is over, and now is everyone's time to ask questions." ”
Hearing Xu Lilong's voice, everyone came back to their senses, so they began to ask questions constantly, and they became more and more popular, Li Tianfeng showed excellent patience and answered them one by one.
"Mr. Li Tianfeng, the turbofan 21 engine is so good, according to my understanding of China's materials industry, it should be difficult for you to successfully develop this engine."
Li Tianfeng smiled slightly: "Our Tianfeng Technology Company has its own material engineering center, many important and key materials are developed and produced by ourselves, and the new materials required for the turbofan 21 engine are the same, and they will also be produced by ourselves." ”
Li Tianfeng did not mention the "Hercules" material, and now is not the right time to disclose this kind of material to the world.
During the press conference, many people talked softly, without thinking, Tianfeng Technology Company's material research and development and production strength is also good, not only has its own material engineering center, but also can develop and produce a series of materials by itself.
"Mr. Li Tianfeng, when will the development of the turbofan 21 engine be completed?"
"If all goes well, we will complete the full design by the end of this year, complete the final assembly of the first prototype next year, and conduct a series of test runs," Li said. ”
It's progressing so fast!
The research and development of a new engine is full of difficulties and is not successful in a short period of time, but now, Tianfeng Technology Company is at the peak of everyone's understanding.
Because their understanding was subverted, many people felt a burst of shock in their hearts, and they looked at Li Tianfeng in disbelief.
Everyone saw that Li Tianfeng was full of confidence, and then recalled the development cycle of each engine of Tianfeng Technology Company, everyone gradually accepted this fact, and at the same time, there was a burst of emotion in their hearts, Tianfeng Technology Company not only developed excellent engines, but also the development cycle is very short.
"Mr. Li Tianfeng, what is the future market pricing of the turbofan 21 engine?"
Li Tianfeng said: "As an excellent regional airliner engine, the turbofan 21 engine is priced at about 4.2 million US dollars, which is equivalent to about 27 million yuan, and of course, with the fluctuation of prices, we may also adjust the price every year." ”
The turbofan 18 engine is 23.5 million yuan for a single unit, and the turbofan 21 engine is more excellent and more excellent, and the price of 4.2 million US dollars is not expensive, very cheap and cost-effective.
At such a global press conference, Li Tianfeng announced the price of the turbofan 21 engine, mainly for the convenience of the future, in the past, every time the engine was ordered, the focus of business negotiations was almost the price, and now the price is clearly marked, and it will definitely save a lot of trouble in the future.
Such a price, such an outstanding engine, as soon as the price was announced, many people had a heated discussion, especially the guests of those aircraft manufacturing companies, who were very excited.
Li Tianfeng was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and then said loudly: "Let me tell you another good news, before the press conference, there are already companies interested in ordering our turbofan 21 engine, after the press conference, we will sign a formal contract." ”
Someone ordered!
Many people were surprised, the popularity of the turbofan 21 engine, this is too big, the engine is still in the development stage, and some people dare to place an order.
"Mr. Li Tianfeng, are you saying that the turbofan 21 engine will be able to accept orders from today?"
Li Tianfeng said: "Yes, starting today, the turbofan 21 engine will begin to accept orders, and the price will be unified at 4.2 million US dollars. ”
Hearing this, many major aircraft manufacturers attending the meeting, especially regional airliner manufacturers, were excited for a while, as we all know, first book, Tianfeng Technology Company will definitely deliver first, and their own aircraft can be installed with turbofan 21 engines one step ahead of others.
"Mr. Li Tianfeng, your company will accept orders now, what if the development of this engine fails?"
Li Tianfeng smiled: "Whether it is an engine or an aircraft, it is an international practice to accept orders at the time of development, in addition, there is no failure in our dictionary, and we are fully confident that the turbofan 21 engine will be successfully developed as scheduled." ”
Li Tianfeng's words are categorical and full of confidence!
For example, Airbus A380 accepted a large number of orders during the development period, and more recently, such as the C919 passenger aircraft, the aircraft also accepted hundreds of orders during the development stage.
The following questions, one after another, Li Tianfeng patiently answered them one by one.
Seeing that the time was close to 12 noon, Li Tianfeng said politely: "Gentlemen, ladies, at noon, we have prepared a sumptuous lunch, and in the afternoon, we also have a grand signing ceremony to accept the turbofan 21 engine reservation." ”
There will be a signing ceremony in the afternoon!
Hearing this, many people became interested, especially those reporters, who were ready to immediately send out the situation in the morning and concentrate on their work in the afternoon.
