"You mean we don't participate in Boeing's crackdown on Chinese?" Portia looked at the general manager of the marketing department in front of him with a puzzled expression, which was a bit not in their interest.

Even if the Chinese can produce regional aircraft themselves, even if they can only produce regional aircraft, it will have a very big impact on their interests.

Not only is this not a market opportunity for them, but it will cost them the regional aircraft business in the Chinese market. At present, what China lacks most is not only mainline airliners, but also the demand for regional airliners is even greater -- there is basically no market for China's Y-6 regional airliners.

After all, the transportation capacity of Yunliu is too poor, not only can it transport too many goods at one time, but it will also not be able to carry too many passengers in the future.

"Yes, not only can we not suppress the Chinese, we also have to support their project." Enfit said with a serious face. "Especially China's Yun Fei, who uses his own assets to carry out big aircraft projects for their country, even if he becomes our competitor, we should have a good relationship with him......"

"Why is that? What Costello said is not unreasonable, once they reach a cooperation agreement with the Chinese government, this young man's money will basically be wasted......" Portia seemed even more puzzled about Enfit's opinion. "What's more, our major shareholders are the governments of several major European countries, and the relationship between Britain, France, and Germany is not very good with the Chinese government."

Airbus unilaterally tore up the cooperation agreement with the Chinese, and the authorization to assemble their aircraft in China was terminated at the beginning, although this is the operation of the Boeing research team, but there is also a big reason for the poor relationship between these countries and the Chinese government.

One of the backgrounds of Airbus aircraft tearing up the contract is that China's island, which had been leased by the British for a hundred years, was taken back by the Chinese in 97!

"Between nations, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. The Americans have become more and more assertive in recent years, and European countries are about to change their relations with the Chinese government, as can be illustrated by the tremendous progress that China has made in bilateral negotiations with European countries after joining the World Trade Organization. And now. The United States has been the most active in preventing China from joining the World Trade Organization. Europe needs cheap goods from China, and the United States needs ...... same "Enfitt knew that in order to convince the board to accept his advice, he would first have to convince Portia.

As long as Portia disagreed with the Americans' proposals, he would help himself convince the board.

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the relationship between countries, does it? Moreover, in the mention of the Americans, although we suffer more, as they say, we can avoid letting Chinese pick up cheap ......" in China because of fierce competition" Portia was completely confused.

Before Yun Fei was engaged in the big aircraft project, the old man in China who scared the whole world personally wrote an article to build momentum for him. Do you think the Chinese government will support it? Moreover, before the start of their project, the design team had already begun to operate, and the Chinese aircraft designers were all controlled by the state, but this young man formed a design team of more than two hundred people in a short period of time, and the chief designer was Ma Fengshan, the chief designer of the Yunshi project, Mr. Portia, who had already announced the death of China a few years ago. Enfitt smiled.

The importance that China's top leaders attach to this matter will definitely not be as publicized to the outside world.

Hear Enfitt analyze the issue in depth. Portia suddenly felt that his jaw could no longer be closed: "Aren't there many people in the Chinese government department who pull his hind legs?" How could it be a great support! He couldn't believe it.

During the negotiation of the equity issue of the large aircraft project, Yun Fei had a very unpleasant quarrel with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Shanghai Municipal Government, which could be found out with a little effort.

The Chinese are not monolithic. What's more, many of them have no vision, and they can be bribed if they give a little favor. After all, in China. The cost of an official's crime is so low that even if it is caught, it will not be punished too severely.

Those guys who were kicked out of the ranks of officials. It's just because they've offended people.

"The Chinese are not the local government officials. Moreover, it is very likely that the Chinese themselves are acting. With the face of the Chinese, it is impossible to publicize these ugly things unless they are poked out. But this time, a young private boss rode atop the head of the most powerful department in their country, and the Chinese actually took the initiative to disclose their scandal to the world! This is completely inconsistent with the style of the Chinese all along! A smile spread across Enfit's face.

These Chinese always like to play such tricks.

Do they take the world for fools?

"What is the purpose of them doing this? It doesn't seem to be in their interest......"

"It's something I've been figuring out. But now I've figured it out. The Chinese's regional aircraft engines did not conduct regular bidding, but directly chose to negotiate with GM, when GM did not pay attention to them, they went to contact their Pratt & Whitney Engine Company, and when GM's people told them that they were ready to cooperate with them, they directly shelved the ongoing negotiations with Pratt & Whitney and returned to Fairfield City again! "Enfitt didn't know about these news too early, and the inside story of the negotiations was not too clear," the Chinese's target was GM's TF34 engine, which is a regional airliner engine with dual airworthiness licenses in the United States and Europe. ”

"You mean that the Chinese were already eyeing the world market before the aircraft samples were produced? Is this possible? How many countries in this world would believe in their manufacturing technology? Chinese It's okay to produce some light industrial products, but it's not possible to produce these advanced technology and equipment...... "Portia, like all those who look down on China's cutting-edge manufacturing, does not believe that Chinese dares to enter the world market in these top manufacturing fields, "and in this way, they have a better chance of becoming our competitors......"

"The Chinese have the cheapest manufacturing costs in the world. We invested billions of dollars in the A300 aircraft to produce prototypes, and the Chinese were only able to produce ten-ton small aircraft before that, and while we succeeded, they also succeeded, and they only spent less than 200 million dollars! Enfit's words immediately silenced Portia.

The Chinese are outrageously cheap in terms of cost.

This is something that the whole world cannot learn. At the same time, the Chinese have also reached an outrageous level of waste on research funds, but they have been able to develop some new technologies at the cheapest cost in the world.

Cost is the most important core competitiveness in this era.

Once the Chinese develop regional airliners and put them into market operation, even if their technology is not very good, as long as the safety of the aircraft can be high, they will still get a lot of orders. The operating costs of airlines are basically the highest in the world.

In Africa, South America, Central Asia and West Asia, the purchase of aircraft is not based on whose aircraft has better performance, but whose aircraft is more cost-effective. Not all countries are as rich as European and American countries.

Portia could not refute Enfitt's words.

Boeing is definitely not at ease in the Chinese market, and now it is the most obvious example.

What's more, the two companies are competitors, and it is impossible to sue each other for the core technology of any aircraft model. Carson's proposal to establish a joint venture factory in China and to have the technology jointly developed by the two sides to build a new aircraft factory is obviously a malicious suggestion.

For such a thing, it is impossible for Portia to be careless.

The slightest mistake would have left his idea of becoming the next chairman of the board of directors of Airbus Aircraft in vain.

But at this time, supporting the Chinese in the aircraft industry is not something that people like him can do. This is completely awkward behavior for himself, and Portia can't do it anyway. Therefore, it is impossible for him to agree to Enfit's proposal to support the Chinese to build large planes in any case.

Although he had good relations with the Chinese and could get them a lot of orders for mainline airliners, Portia really didn't have the courage to propose it to their board of directors.

However, Portia would never have imagined that Enfitt would dare to write an email to the board of directors specifically about this matter.

Boeing's only largest cooperation negotiation with Airbus ended in failure, which is completely good news for Yun Fei and others.

"Yun Fei, the negotiations between Boeing and Airbus have broken down, this is good news for us, why are you still so sullen?" Wang Zixin really couldn't figure out what Bai Yunfei was thinking.

After knowing such good news, not only did not rejoice, but a sad face.

"Is this good news for us? Could it be that if their cooperation negotiations broke down, the people at Boeing would not suppress us? Looking at Ukraine's strong aviation industry base, which has not been able to make a name for itself so far, you can see how powerful they are in suppressing their competitors......" Yun Fei sighed.

Women have long hair and short knowledge.

Wang Zixin could not have thought of what kind of crisis was hidden in these things.

Maybe she was just instinctively happy. (To be continued......)
