"Mr. President, it's already lunchtime, should we invite our Chinese guests to have lunch first and have a short break before we have a discussion?" Just as the scene was in awkwardness, Black's secretary knocked on the door and entered the conference room.

It was already half-past twelve noon, and at the outset, Blake had instructed the secretaries not to disturb them when they had not received any news.

The secretary had been waiting in her office, and she had always thought that Mr. Blackl would not talk to these Chinese about the time, but she did not expect that after twelve o'clock, Blackl did not send her a text message that had been edited long ago.

She waited until half past twelve to get the news, how did she know, if it wasn't for Yun Fei pointing out that their research on the PW6000 project had entered a critical period, neither side would take the initiative to rest.

Pratt & Whitney needs a market for the Chinese.

And Chinese need their engines to take Chinese their own planes into the sky.

"You're hungry, Mr. Black, your company isn't just going to ask us to nibble on raw beef, are you?" Yun Fei also knew that even if they took the initiative in the negotiations, it was impossible to end the negotiations quickly with the weakness of the other party as they did in China.

There is an essential difference between foreign and domestic countries.

It is not only necessary to follow the rules of business negotiations, but also to conform to the national interest.

In this day and age, no one can resist the will of the state, and neither can any company. Like many large industrial groups in the United States, many of them have to constantly dilute their equity and break up because they have too much influence on the country......

Mr. Yun said with a smile, we know that you are not used to eating Western food, so we specially found a master chef with the title of special chef in China from a Chinese restaurant in the city...... "For Yun Fei's immature appearance at this time, Blake doesn't think he is really so naïve."

"That's good. I just don't know if this chef got a special chef certificate at those stalls......" Yun Fei pouted and said.

In foreign countries, there is simply no way to be such a great chef, because these white people who are not rich in food culture simply cannot appreciate the essence of China on the tip of their tongues. Maybe these Caucasians with simple diets have poor taste buds development, or maybe they don't have many tastes, and there are never many Chinese chefs who will make them truly delicious.

You know, there is an old Chinese saying that slow work comes from the chef industry, and many top-notch dishes need to be cooked for hours. Not to mention the preparation time, especially some top-notch dishes, all kinds of seasonings that require a harsh growing environment.

No one discusses the engine anymore, after all, the Chinese habit of negotiating at the wine table is not accepted in the United States, and the wine table culture only appears in China.

While Yun Fei and the others followed Blackel and his party towards their staff cafeteria, Costello, the president of Boeing Commercial Aircraft Group, was listening to the general manager of the trading company in front of him, Jon. Carson's debriefing.

The fact that the Chinese themselves want to build large planes is not too important to them at all. After all, China's institutional problems and technological level cannot be solved in a period of time. Moreover, even if the Chinese build large aircraft, they want to enter the international market. They also need to obtain airworthiness licenses from the United States and Europe, otherwise they will only be able to play in their own domestic market.

Without engines, how many commercial aircraft the Chinese want to build is not determined by their market. Rather, it is up to companies like Boeing and Airbus that control the entire world's aircraft business. But now Pratt & Whitney has taken the initiative to sell engines to China.

Once the engines are available, the entire world's largest commercial aircraft market has little to do with them.

"Does Blacker really want to export engines to the Chinese market?" Costello frowned and asked about his right-hand man in front of him. No matter how strong the manufacturing capacity is, the product must be sold. Airbus Aircraft is no worse than Boeing's technology, but it has always been suppressed by Boeing, not because they started late, but because Jon. Carson has a talent in the business that no one else can match.

"That's true, based on what I talked to him last night, if possible, he would even license the technology to Chinese, or they would set up an engine production plant in China in order to gain a huge market share in China...... "Jon. Carson said calmly.

Once the Chinese themselves have the ability to build large aircraft, it will not be so easy for Boeing and Airbus to round and flatten Chinese airlines as before. Moreover, the Chinese have their own planes, and they can only reduce the price!

It has only been not long since the acquisition of McDonnell Douglas and the seizure of their Chinese market that the Chinese have begun to do such things?

"What do those guys from the Civil Aviation Administration of China and the Ministry of Aviation Industry say? Didn't they swear a promise that China would not start the project within 10 years? Costello asked very unhappily, "We have a lot of research expenses in their hands, do these children who are studying abroad think that they can survive with peace of mind when they come here?" ”

"Mr. President, for this project, at the beginning, it was just a state-owned unit in China that was about to go bankrupt in order to get project funds, without a state loan, they would not have been able to do it, in the seventies they spent 200 million pounds of foreign exchange in poor China to introduce Rolls-Royce's bass engine production technology, and now they have not developed their engines?" Jon. Carson naturally knew that without aircraft engines, the Chinese would not be able to make their own planes.

Costero's brow furrowed even tighter: "But the current situation is not that China's state-owned enterprises want to carry out this project, but that they have a young private boss who has no backing, right?" ”

Jon. Carson nodded solemnly.

This is also the headache for them, "The new prime minister of the Chinese government is now vigorously fighting corruption, and many officials have been dismissed, and those Chinese officials who have taken advantage of us do not dare to go too far, especially since this project is supported by the ......Chinese top leadership."

"You mean their old man who hasn't died yet? If this is the case, it will not be easy to get rid of their project from China. The old man had taken the blame for his officials when he first took office, and now it is impossible for the old man to repeat what happened back then, and it is impossible for China's top leaders to bear the blame for their unimportant officials again. "Costero's mind for complex Chinese is very difficult to understand.

"It's not a project supported by the Chinese government, but it's getting the attention of all the senior government leaders. The main reason is that the young Chinese boss is privately funded by the project, not by the state finance, according to the current situation, the Chinese will not take out a loan from the bank to carry out the project, just for fear of being cut off from his capital chain...... "Jon. Carson has been in charge of these things, and has been campaigning for them since he knew about them.

For the insider, I know it very thoroughly.

"Is there such a rich person in China? And also a young man with no background? Kostro didn't believe that.

"This young man is not without a background, his background is not comparable to any Chinese, and he has a very deep relationship with the top leadership of the Chinese government, and even the old man who is hidden behind the scenes in China has inspected his industry twice for the purpose of supporting him, and according to the information we have received from the Chinese government, this year the old man will inspect his industry again, which is to support his large aircraft project......

"This is a very interesting young man, and since he is an enemy that we cannot defeat, perhaps, it ......is not necessary for him to be our friend," Costello took a deep breath.

China is not like Europe and the United States, which strictly follow the rules of the market.

The thinking of the Chinese is not something that Europeans and Americans can understand.

"If we cut them off from the engine and leave them without an engine, we can make them unable to be our competitors. Airbus Aircraft would never want to have a local competitor in the Chinese market...... "Chinese become a partner?"

For Jon. Carson is simply unacceptable, they spent such a huge amount of energy, it is not easy to reach the harvest season, but to divide part of the benefits to the Chinese, this is simply impossible, if so, they tear up the cooperation agreement between McDonnell Douglas and the Chinese, and take back the Chinese's production authorization will have no effect, but let them lose a large part of the benefits.

"Jon, there are no eternal enemies in the face of interests. If we force them to do this project on their own, maybe we will lose the Chinese market completely. This young man has lost a lot of benefits to CNC machine tool companies in various countries along the way. In China, as long as you put on the cloak of domestic production, you can kidnap most of the users. Costello sighed, "And we can't control Pratt & Whitney from exporting their engines to China, any more than Airbus can't control Rolls-Royce from exporting engines to China." Black's bastard and Pratt & Whitney's board of directors know this better than any of us......"

The Chinese want to engage in this project, and it is basically impossible to stop it.

Unless, unless, you can start with the people who are working on the project itself...... (To be continued......)
