"Hongfei, I heard that Citibank is looking for trouble with you?" When Lin Hongfei was thinking about how to deal with it, Dongfang Zheng's phone called in and asked bluntly.

"Uh...... Dad, do you know everything? Lin Hongfei was a little surprised.

"How could I not know such a big thing?" Dongfang was amused by his son-in-law's words, "Now it's almost upset outside...... Well, if there's anything you need help with, just ask. ”

"Help?" Lin Hongfei just wanted to say no, but when the words came to his lips, Boss Lin suddenly changed his mind, "By the way, Dad, is our country talking with Boeing and Airbus about introducing a batch of Airbus A320 or Boeing 737 civil aircraft?" Have you decided who to buy? ”

Just last month, because of the rapid development of the domestic economy, the civil aviation industry ushered in a blowout period of development, the people's demand for civil aviation increased sharply, in the face of this situation, the Civil Aviation Administration decisively decided to increase the number of flights, and now is planning to introduce two models into use on domestic routes, namely Boeing 737-300 and Airbus A320, the total purchase amount is about 1 billion US dollars, Lin Hongfei looked at such a large piece of fat but he couldn't eat it, very sad, simply don't pay attention to it, But his father-in-law's words reminded him: This may be an opportunity!

"That's the thing." Dongfang Zheng is very relieved of his son-in-law, knowing Lin Hongfei's character, it is not really something very important to him, this kid will never ask around, and immediately said cheerfully, "Now the trend of civil aviation is that Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 are purchased, and the comrades of civil aviation have responded very well to the use of several Airbus A320 purchased before." ”

"That's ......," Lin Hongfei groaned.

"What? What is the room to maneuver? "What kind of person is the East? Immediately realized that his son-in-law wanted to make a fuss about this incident, and asked when he asked.

Lin Hongfei didn't say it directly, he muttered for a while, but it was the way. "The engine supplier of the Airbus A320 aircraft is IAE International, and the two largest shareholders of IAE International are the British Pratt. Whitney & Co. and Rolls-Royce in the United Kingdom, which account for 65% of the company's total shares......"

"That's right......" Dongfang Zheng pondered for a moment and nodded, "I know it, leave this matter to me to arrange." ”

"Okay." Lin Hongfei nodded without hesitation, this civil aviation system procurement gave himself a chance.

………………………………………………………………

Boeing and Airbus, which were complacently awaiting orders from the Republic, suddenly heard news that was almost a bolt from the blue for them: the Government of the Republic was secretly approaching the Tupolev Design Bureau, given that the offers of Airbus and Boeing were too high. It is proposed to hand over part of these orders to the Tupolev Design Bureau for the purchase of a batch of TU-154 aircraft from the Tupolev Design Bureau.

Is it possible that the civil aviation system of the Republic will purchase a batch of TU-154 aircraft to replace the Airbus A320 or Boeing 737 in the original plan? As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused the vigilance of Boeing and Airbus!

The Civil Aviation Administration of the Republic has purchased a batch of TU-154 aircraft before, and Boeing and Airbus are aware of this matter, although the comfort of TU-154 aircraft is somewhat different from that of Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. But the TU-154 can't be cheap, on the premise that the carrying capacity is about the same. The TU-154 is priced at less than $8 million, and it directly beats the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737-300. It is very in line with the Chinese style of "doing more with less".

In particular, the civil aviation system of the Republic now has several TU-154M models in service, and it is believed that the safety and comfort of the TU-154 models have also been verified by the civil aviation system of the Republic.

But as soon as this news came out, it immediately made Boeing and Airbus restless, and the government of the republic divided the market share that originally "belonged" to Boeing and Airbus to the Tupolev Design Bureau. There is really a great possibility, but the market is so big that it is divided among the Tupolev Design Bureau, what should Airbus and Boeing do?

As for the poor fuel economy of Soviet-made aircraft, the resulting increase in fuel costs? That's not a problem at all. Not to mention that the plane itself is cheaper by more than 30 million, in this era, the cost of fuel is far from the bulk of the air transport industry's expenditure, fuel expenditure only accounts for about 10% of the total cost, and it is expected to rise to about 15% by 2000, and the resulting increase in costs is completely acceptable...... How long can the more than $30 million saved alone burn oil?

Although this news was denied by the Civil Aviation Administration of the Republic, Boeing and Airbus, which were originally arrogant and arrogant, could no longer sit still, and the two companies immediately activated the emergency response mechanism, and immediately mobilized their own strength to confirm the true situation of this matter, and at the same time, they are also actively mobilizing their own resources to promote the procurement of the Republic government: this is a procurement project with a total amount of up to 1 billion US dollars!

For example, IAE has done so through Pratt. Shaun, who contacted the Whitney Company and Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., hoped that Sean could contact Lin Hongfei...... According to Airbus via Pratt. According to the information provided by Whitney, Lin Hongfei, the boss of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., has close ties with the Wang family, who controls the country's civil aviation system, and Lin Hongfei is the son-in-law of the Wang family.

At this time, everyone selectively forgot about Pratt. Whitney's threat of a price increase for Lin Hongfei.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sean, but I won't help with this." Faced with Sean who came to lobby, Lin Hongfei refused simply without giving face.

"Huh?" never thought that Lin Hongfei would say this, and Sean, who had no psychological preparation at all, was stunned all of a sudden: Why can't he help?

After being stunned for a moment, Sean finally reacted, and hurriedly said to Lin Hongfei, "Mr. Lin, I think you probably misunderstood, we are not ......"

"Mr. Sean, or you misunderstood what I meant, then I'll explain again, I won't help anything in this matter," Lin Hongfei looked at Sean and explained his reasons directly, "Mr. Sean, you have to know that there is no friendship between me and Airbus, and the relationship between me and your company is tense now......" He spread his hands and looked at Sean, there was even a faint hint of banter in his eyes, "Mr. Sean, based on this situation, Please can you tell me one that you want to help Airbus and Pratt. The Whitney Company's reasoning? ”

Sean was speechless.

Does what Lin Hongfei said make sense? It makes so much sense to Pratt. The Whitney Company now has a bad relationship with the U.S. branch of Guqi Province Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Lin Hongfei will help in this matter? What the hell is that! It's a good thing that Lin Hongfei doesn't help...... Wait a minute! Help?!

Sean, who suddenly realized this, suddenly had cold sweat on his forehead!

He suddenly realized one thing: with the relationship between Lin Hongfei and the Wang family, Lin Hongfei didn't know about the matter, but if he knew about it, would he ...... Will...... Doing Airbus a disservice?

"Mr. Lin, I think, there is a misunderstanding between us......" Sean wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice trembled slightly, the arrogance when he just came in had disappeared without a trace, he no longer wanted to persuade Lin Hongfei to help, but instead there was another thing: no matter what, he must persuade Lin Hongfei not to make a bad deal in this matter.

"I don't think there is any misunderstanding between us," Lin Hongfei sneered and looked at Sean with burning eyes, "Mr. Sean, your company suddenly decided to raise the price of the engine products provided to us, what is going on, everyone is a smart person, needless to say, it is so clear, right?" ”

"......" Sean was speechless.

But Lin Hongfei didn't let Sean go like this, the more he didn't want anything to happen, Lin Hongfei just wanted to promote this happening, snorted coldly, Lin Hongfei said, "But, Mr. Sean, I want to thank you for reminding me, yes, I can 'make a difference' in this matter...... As you know, 'do more with less' has always been a fine tradition in our country. ”

Sean's face suddenly turned pale! Lin Hongfei's intentions are so obvious that he has made up his mind to destroy Airbus and Pratt. The good things of the Whitney Company, in the face of such a clear attitude, that Sean didn't know what he should say: Lin Hongfei made it clear that he wanted to make you bad, and you even tried to convince him?

As soon as he thought of this, Sean's heart was full of bitterness: Damn, why is this thing so rushed?

Lin Hongfei did what he said, and immediately picked up the phone on the table and dialed it directly, and after a while, Lin Hongfei's angry face immediately changed to a smile, "Dad, it's me, Hongfei...... I just want to ask you one thing: has the model purchased by our General Administration been confirmed? Yes? Not yet, oh oh...... It's not that I'm a lobbyist, it's that I think that for so long, Boeing and Airbus have not been good enough in their attitude towards us, but the Tupolev Design Bureau...... Well, well, yes, this is not a good question to talk about here...... Uh-huh, what a ......."

After saying a few more words, Lin Hongfei hung up the phone and looked at Sean with a satisfied and provocative expression, "Mr. Sean, this result should be something you like to see, right?" (To be continued......)
