Yes, it turns out that everyone is really ready to slaughter Lin Hongfei as a fat sheep.

In GE, P&P. Hui and Luo. After Luo, the representatives of IAE and CFM International also brought Lin Hongfei their latest quotation for the same level of thrust engine as the D-30KU engine used on the Il-62M:

IAE This home is made by Pu. Hui Company, British Rawls. The aero-engine manufacturer jointly composed of Royce Engines, Germany's MTU Aero Engines, Japan's Nippon Aero Engines and Fiat Aerospace made an offer to Lin Hongfei for its only V2527-A5 turbofan engine with a thrust of more than 12,000 kilograms and a thrust of about 26,540 pounds: the unit price was 6 million US dollars.

This price does not sound outrageous, but considering that the price they sold to Airbus is less than 4 million US dollars, this price is quite outrageous, you must know that the price of four engines is 24 million US dollars, and another Yir-62M needs 4 units, which means that Lin Hongfei's expenditure on engines is as high as 48 million US dollars, far exceeding his initial budget of 80 million...... He really underestimated the ambition and shamelessness of these international aero engine giants.

CFM International, a commercial aircraft engine manufacturer jointly established by General Electric and France's Snakma, has also raised the price of its CFM56-5A/B series large-bypass ratio turbofan engines to $5.8 million, which can meet the thrust requirements of Lin Hongfei's engines, and what about the prices they offer to Boeing and Airbus for similar engines? The CFM56-5A series is $4.25 to $4.4 million, and the CFM56-5B series is $4.45 to $4.7 million, an increase of almost a third!

Or some will say, so cheap? How is this possible?! Isn't a CFM56-5A/B series engine and a V2500 series engine costing tens of millions of dollars?

That's true, but an engine with a thrust of about 30,000 pounds can cost tens of millions or even $15 million. It is the price after 2005.

As for now, isn't it only 1993, without the support of the Republic, a rapidly growing civil aviation transport country, the price of aero engines in the international market is still maintained at a normal level, and it has not risen so much...... Isn't it because Boeing and Airbus are clearly uniting their suppliers and deliberately raising prices to slaughter us Chinese? Who told us not to produce our own high-thrust aero engines.

Lin Hongfei was very annoyed, anyone who was treated as a fool would not be happy, but at this time, even Honeywell and Allison Engine Company also came to join in the fun, Honeywell Company and Allison Engine Company expressed their willingness to work with Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to engage in medium-thrust engines...... Of course. It was they who contributed their skills, and Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. paid for it.

It is also the case that Lin Hongfei and Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are wronged: you two companies engaged in small turboprops, turboshafts and turbofan engines, even if they cooperate with you, let alone the messy things, wait until the new engine that meets Lin Hongfei's requirements comes out. What year is the ghost knowing?

"What should I do?" Acton looked at his boss with a sad face, he didn't expect such a thing to happen. This is in the United States. They actually raised the price so grandly? After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help it, and suggested to Lin Hongfei, "Boss, why don't we sue them and sue them for unfair competition?" ”

"It's useless. No matter what the hell is going on in this matter, as long as there is a lawsuit, we will definitely lose," Lin Hongfei shook his head. "What kind of companies do you see? It's all big defense contractors in the United States, they have advocates of interest in almost every state, they have advocates in Congress, and even in the Cabinet, and what happened to the Iraq war just past, don't you know it now? There is no way we can win this case. ”

Acton also knew that his boss was telling the truth, and he hung his head in despair.

Of course, he understands that it is really impossible for his company to win a lawsuit with these companies, but he is very unwilling, "So what should I do?" Boss, in the future, our business jets will still use engines, as long as they raise the price in this regard, the competitiveness of our products will be gone......"

"At that time, we can sue them for disrupting the normal market order, and if our aircraft manufacturing companies can provide a lot of jobs and tax revenue for Americans, at least the Utah government will have to be on our side; But not now, now we are only buying engines privately for the purpose of modifying aircraft, and there is no such thing as destroying the order of market competition. ”

Thinking about this, Acton's spirits improved a little: yes, when we can contribute jobs and taxes to American society, they won't dare to ignore our existence, but the question is...... "Boss, what should we do now?" ”

"Haven't Americans always prided themselves on being fair and free? Then we will fight a war of public opinion with them! Isn't it just spending money on newspaper advertising, as long as it does not shake their roots, this level of public opinion attack is nothing at all. ”

Lin Hongfei sneered, "Also, to put pressure on the military, we promised to provide at least 50% of the new titanium alloy materials to defense contractors in the United States every year after our factory is put into operation, but we didn't say that everyone would give ...... Let the military tell these bastards that if they don't sell us the engine at a discount, in the future, after our titanium alloy is put into production, all these engine manufacturers who raise prices for us will be blacklisted! ”

"Also, find some business celebrities and the like, and some people in politics to talk to...... Lao Tzu is not powerful, really think Lao Tzu is HelloKitty?! ”

Acton was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that things could be handled like this!

But his boss's way of dealing with it is very appetizing to Acton, in his previous understanding of Chinese, Chinese is a group of people who will only endure silently even if they are bullied by others, they dare not fight back in the face of others' bullying, but now, the performance of his boss has subverted his understanding of Chinese, he is like an aggressive cowboy, even in the face of unfavorable circumstances, he is also full of interest and hope that he can achieve the ultimate victory...... This is the boss you want!

…………………………………………

Mr. Lin's warning worked.

The U.S. military told Lin Hongfei at the first time that they would actively help Lin Hongfei coordinate this matter, and the only requirement was to ensure the smooth production of the titanium alloy project and the smooth performance of the contract.

Yes, titanium alloy is too important! It's so important that ordinary people can't imagine it at all!

Titanium alloy is too scarce, so short that ordinary people can't imagine it at all!

It is too difficult to engage in titanium alloy, this thing is not only a model of modern metallurgical industry, the particularity of titanium production technology makes the country with insufficient funds in a dilemma, and there are only four countries in the world that can complete the complete system of titanium mining, metallurgy, processing, titanium equipment manufacturing and scientific research, design, and application: the United States, the Soviet Union/Russia, Japan and the Republic.

Aerospace, large chemical industry, large heavy industry...... All heavy industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood need to use titanium alloys, but as of the end of 1992, what is the annual output of various types of titanium alloy materials in the world? It's pitiful to say, 25,000 tons!

Only 25,000 tons!

This also includes about 18,000 tonnes of titanium sponge.

The current production capacity of various types of titanium alloys in the Republic is about 2,000 tons per year, the annual production capacity of various types of titanium alloys in the United States is about 12,000 tons, and the total production capacity of titanium alloy products in Japan and Russia is 11,000 tons.

Of the 25,000 tons of titanium alloy output, about 10,000 tons are occupied by aerospace and about 5,000 tons are used by large chemicals.

Now, after Lin Hongfei's titanium alloy factory is put into operation at the end of next year, the United States will have an annual output of 22,000 tons of titanium alloy, accounting for about 63% of the world's total output of 35,000 tons!

But that's it, it's still not enough!

According to the estimates of the World Titanium Association, the actual total global demand for various types of titanium alloys should be between 40,000 and 45,000 tons.

It is conceivable that Lin Hongfei's low-cost Ti6-Al-4V titanium-aluminum-vanadium iron grade 5 titanium alloy has a huge role in the United States' national defense construction, aerospace construction, and large-scale chemical and industrial construction, but now, a group of bastards actually wrote Lin Hongfei almost did not fulfill his promise and was ready to cancel this Ti6-Al-4V titanium-aluminum-vanadium-iron grade 5 titanium alloy investment project, which not only made the U.S. military furious, but also made the U.S. government completely furious.

It's just that I didn't see hope, but I saw that because of the stupidity of some people, the United States lost at least 10,000 tons of titanium alloy? The U.S. government was immediately furious, although they were the spokesmen for the interests of these big conglomerates most of the time, it did not affect them to break out once in a while: without these titanium alloys, what are you. Luo, Pu. Hui, IAE and CFM International will also have a headache, do you know?
