Chapter 307: The bowl is full
After being introduced, Li Tianfeng learned that this was an executive of Embraer, who was a good friend of Karnal, and happened to lead a team to visit the Zhuhai Air Show.
When chatting with Karnal, the two inadvertently talked about Tianfeng Technology Company, and Kanal was naturally full of praise for Tianfeng Technology Company, especially the turboshaft E engine manufactured by Tianfeng Technology Company.
Marceldo, one of Embraer's executives, naturally heard about Tianfeng Technology during the air show, and this time, seeing his friend Karnal full of praise for Tianfeng Technology, Marceldo also came to be interested.
Especially for the two turbofan engines newly developed by Tianfeng Technology Company, Marceldo was very interested, no, Marceldo and Canal came to the pavilion of Tianfeng Technology Company.
After listening to Canal's introduction, Li Tianfeng happily shook hands with Marceldo, "Mr. Marceldo, welcome, welcome." ”
Li Tianfeng was extremely happy, but he didn't expect Embraer to come, and he was still an executive.
Li Tianfeng is familiar with Embraer, knowing that this is one of the world's four major civil airliner manufacturers, and the focus is still on civil regional airliners, which is his ideal customer, his own turbofan engine ideal customer.
Embraer, a Brazilian aviation industry group, was founded in 1969 and is engaged in the design and manufacture of commercial, business and military aircraft, as well as aviation services.
It is now the world's largest manufacturer of commercial jets under 120 seats, accounting for about 45% of the world's regional aircraft market. The company is now among the world's top four civil aircraft manufacturers and the world's largest producer of regional jets.
Embraer commercial jets are divided into two main families: the ERJ145 jet family and the E-jet family.
The company is the only business jet manufacturer in the world to offer a full range of products from ultralight to oversize, including the Phenom 100, Phenom 300, Legacy 450, Legacy 500, Legacy 600, Legacy 650 and Heritage 1000 business jets, in addition to the regional jets mentioned above.
Such a company, in particular, occupies 45% of the market share of the world's regional airliners. Turbofan engines are in high demand.
Li Tianfeng was happy in his heart!
The two sides introduced and greeted politely, Marceldo was obviously more interested in these two turbofan engines of Tianfeng Technology.
Marcel said: "Mr. Li, can you give me a detailed introduction to your two turbofan engines?" ”
Li Tianfeng said: "Of course there is no problem. ”
Therefore, Li Tianfeng combined the introduction of the two exhibitors and engines in the brochure. A detailed introduction to his two turbofan engines, especially highlighting some of the key points of interest to Marcel.
For example, the economy, reliability, comfort, and excellent comprehensive performance of the engine are compared with turbofan engines of the same thrust level in the world.
In the world, there is a huge market for turbofan engines of the same thrust class, third-generation machines, and third-generation half-generation machines. These styles of engines are generally developed and manufactured in the seventies and eighties, and the advantage of such engines is that they have been tested for a long time and have been continuously upgraded and improved. The disadvantages are relatively old, thrust-to-weight ratio, noise, fuel consumption. Exhaust emissions and other aspects cannot be compared with the fourth-generation turbofan engine.
On the international market, of course. Fourth-generation turbofans are also available. However, most of Embraer's passenger aircraft use turbofan engines developed by several major aero-engine giants in the 70s and 80s.
These two turbofan engines of Tianfeng Technology Company are veritable fourth-generation turbofan engines, and use a lot of advanced design and technology.
In Marcelldo's heart. After some consideration, Marceldo was very interested in these two turbofan engines from Tianfeng Technology.
Marceldo not only asked a lot of questions carefully, but also carefully looked at the introduction brochure and the physical objects of the exhibition machines in the past two days. Finally, Marceldo asked: "Mr. Li, have the prices of your two engines been set?" ”
In Li Tianfeng's heart. There has long been a price, which is certainly slightly more expensive than what it was sold to the military, but slightly cheaper than the same type of turbofan engine internationally.
So, Li Tianfeng smiled and said: "Our 'TFWS001' turbofan engine is priced at $6.5 million, and the 'TFWS002' turbofan engine is priced at $4.2 million. ”
Marceldo nodded in his heart, knowing that the price was very fair, and his company's purchase of CFM56-3 engines from GE was $4.5 million; The CFM56-5A is $4.8 million and the CFM56-5C engine is more expensive at $5.2 million.
GE's CFM series engines are engines developed in the 80s, which are inferior to Tianfeng Technology's TFWS002' turbofan engines in terms of fuel consumption, noise, pollution, comfort, safety and reliability.
Tianfeng Technology's 'TFWS002' turbofan engine and GE's CFM series engine are both 20,000-pound thrust class engines, but obviously, Tianfeng Technology's TFWS002' turbofan engine is of high quality and low price.
At such a price, Marceldo was very excited, especially after carefully asking a lot of professional questions just now, Marceldo was even more excited, but his face did not show too much.
Marcel said: "Mr. Li, your engine is good, I have obtained the authorization of the board of directors before I came, and we can talk about the specific details of engine procurement now."
Hearing this, Li Tianfeng was overjoyed and invited: "Mr. Marceldo, then let's go to the reception area, let's have a good talk." ”
Marceldo readily agreed: "Yes! ”
Seeing that the two sides had entered into detailed negotiations, Kanal smiled happily and said, "Mr. Li, my mission has been completed, then I will leave." ”
Li Tianfeng happily shook Karnal's hand and said, "Mr. Karnal, thank you so much this time, next time I will invite you to drink." ”
Karnal smiled and said jokingly, "Then I'm going to drink your Chinese Moutai." ”
Li Tianfeng said: "No problem! ”
After sending Kanal away politely and warmly, Tianfeng Technology and Embraer officially began to negotiate in detail, and unexpectedly, the negotiations were very smooth.
The two sides signed a formal contract for Embraer to purchase 100 'TFWS001' turbofan engines and 200 'TFWS002' turbofan engines from Tianfeng Technology, with a total contract value of nearly $1.5 billion!
Of course, because the two turbofan engines of Tianfeng Technology Company have not been designed and finalized, and have not yet obtained the airworthiness certificate, the two sides have signed a detailed technical agreement, and Tianfeng Technology Company guarantees that the engine quality and comprehensive performance meet the standards. Otherwise, Embraer reserves the right to terminate the contract.
Li Tianfeng basically has no pressure to sign such a technical agreement, and Li Tianfeng is full of confidence in his two engines.
After the two sides signed and shook hands happily, Marcel said: "Mr. Li, if you have a turbofan engine with a thrust level of 10,000 pounds, we will definitely order a batch as well." ”
The 10,000-pound thrust turbofan engine is a small turbofan engine, mainly used in 50-seater or 30 or 40-seat regional airliners, and Embraer also needs such a turbofan engine.
A medium-sized turbofan engine with a thrust rating of 50,000 pounds can be developed, and it is naturally not too difficult to develop a small turbofan engine with a thrust rating of 10,000 pounds.
So, Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Marceldo, I am also already thinking about this problem, and it is estimated that in a few months, we will start the development of a turbine engine of this thrust level." ”
10,000 pounds of thrust grade, 20,000 pounds of thrust grade, 50,000 pounds of thrust grade, if Tianfeng Technology Company has these three different thrust levels of large channel ratio turbofan engine, it will cover a wider range of market competitiveness.
Hearing this, Marcel said: "Mr. Li, when your 10,000-pound turbofan engine is successfully developed, we will definitely purchase it." ”
His 10,000-pound thrust engine has not yet been developed, and someone has already promised to buy it, and Li Tianfeng was happy for a while.
………
At the Zhuhai Air Show, Tianfeng Technology Company made a lot of money, and returned with more than 40 billion orders, which is enough to enter the top three among many participating aviation companies!
Many people in the domestic aviation industry, especially the middle and senior managers of domestic aviation companies, heard that Tianfeng Technology Company had won more than 40 billion orders, and they were not only envious, but also relished.
"Tianfeng Technology Company is bullish, with more than 40 billion orders! Terrific! ”
"What's even more awesome is that hundreds of turbofan engines have been booked before they have even been designed!"
"Our domestic aero engine has finally gone abroad again!"
“……”
Everyone's heated discussion has more or less reached Li Tianfeng's ears, hearing these words, Li Tianfeng was happy for a while, and what made Li Tianfeng feel even more good was that many people called him to congratulate him, such as Yang Xianfeng, Liu Qingshan, etc.
The air show closed smoothly, and Li Tianfeng also took everyone back to Songzhou.
However, the aftermath of the air show did not disappear immediately because of the closing of the air show, and the major media reported it for many days.
