977 Airbus is not a good thing (2) (2nd update)
"Hehe......" Yun Fei laughed as soon as he heard Enfit's words.
If a cooperation agreement is really reached, although the Chinese have not done much publicity this time, the vigorous large aircraft project will basically be stillborn. Moreover, this cooperation is obviously a few birds with one stone, Airbus uses Yun's Holdings to compete with the Chinese government, and at the same time, they are immediately able to obtain billions of dollars in regional airliner orders from China, and their competition with Boeing is directly transferred to Yun's Holdings and the Chinese government's joint venture with the Americans.
Yun Fei is not one of those government officials, and he will not fail to see the hidden crisis for the sake of immediate interests.
What's more, the Americans fought with the Europeans, but it turned out that he, a small boss, was using the government of his own country as cannon fodder, is it possible for such a thing?
Of course, if the Airbus people find other local governments or state-owned factories, the two sides may really fight to the death for political performance. This kind of thing is very normal in China. Otherwise, in recent years, it would not have been because of the repeated investment by local governments, which has resulted in a very large scale of China's infrastructure construction, and in order to control this overheated economy, the state has been implementing a monetary tightening policy for many years.
After all, many local governments rely on loans from state banks to make these investments.
It is not easy to borrow from banks, which makes it difficult for the whole country to borrow money for various industries.
It's impossible for the people of Airbus not to know this, so they don't look for government enterprises, but for Yun Fei, who has a lot of liquid money and is working on this project.
"How?" For the young man in front of him, Enfit felt very unpredictable.
Sitting with a lot of powerful opponents is not so awkward as sitting with this young man. This young man's heart is far less simple than what he appears to be.
"Mr. Enfit, I don't know if you know who the chief designer of our Xianglong Aircraft Company is?" Yun Fei didn't say anything else, but shifted the topic to their chief designer.
Enfit was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Yun Fei to suddenly change the topic, which would easily put him in a passive position, Enfit especially didn't like this feeling: "Isn't it Ma Fengshan?" ā
Yun Fei nodded. With a smile on his face, he said: "Since Mr. Enfit knows that our chief designer is Ma Fengshan, do you think we will be too far behind the international in aircraft design and manufacturing technology?" We only have aircraft engines, not the overall design and manufacturing technology of aircraft! ā
Even if you are willing to export technology, we are not interested, we are more willing to spend money on the road of independent innovation.
"Mr. Enfitt must know something about me personally, right? Since I started my own business, I have always preferred to develop my own technology. In the era of modern trade globalization, only by mastering the core competitiveness can we not be controlled by others. And technology. It is undoubtedly the most critical core competitiveness...... I've never been a person who likes to be controlled by others. Yun Fei saw that Ernst's face became ugly, so he simply made his words clear.
You Airbus companies do have technology, and it's no worse than the Americans, but our technicians are no worse than you Europeans.
It is not possible to build a large airplane for mainline airliners, but there is absolutely no problem in producing regional airliners.
It is simply impossible for Airbus to use the technology in its hands to blackmail.
"Mr. Yun, Ma Fengshan's talent in this area is indeed very high, but his age is already high enough, and. He has been out of the aviation manufacturing industry for many years, and the technology of the seventies, with which he can still be competitive? Enfitt thought. It was too hard to convince the young man.
"At least, in our huge market in China, competitiveness is not a key issue. What's more, it's not that they don't know how to learn. The core technical research team of my Jiuyi Research Institute. The average age is more than sixty-five years old...... "Yun Fei's face was full of pride.
Although these old technicians are not good at innovation, they have a solid foundation. Adapted to the environment like China, there are local methods to make some advanced things. Waiting for industrial production to be refined is the road of technology research and development with Chinese characteristics.
The people in the whole world are incomparable.
Jiuyi Research Institute has invested a lot of research and development funds in recent years, although the results are mainly in CNC machine tools, mobile phones, computers, basically based on some in-depth research on machinery and electronics, but its extension industry is more huge, but Yunshi Holdings in order to control the scale of investment, coupled with the development time is too short, the reserve of the management team is insufficient, try to keep a low profile in China, and many technologies are stored in the archives of the research institute.
Two years ago, Jiang Jianxing was interested in some Chinese companies to start selling their technology, but later, this aspect has been at a standstill, because many technologies are related to their core competitiveness.
It's a good thing to sell technology, but you have to use it yourself, right?
After all, the wheat mobile phone factory and the Dream Industrial Base pay a huge amount of technology use fees to the Jiuyi Research Institute every year.
"This mention of the Airbus plane is harboring evil intentions. If we really cooperate with them, China will not want to build its own aircraft industry again, not to mention, this is undoubtedly to take the initiative to put its neck on the rope they stretched out......" Hearing Yun Fei say Enfit's mentions, Ma Fengshan suddenly became anxious.
Why Yun Fei started this project in the first place, they know very clearly.
All along, they were worried that Yun Fei had invested a huge amount of money in this project because of the impulse of young people. But now we have just started and encountered so many difficulties, and when we return to China, there is no doubt that these difficulties will become even greater.
Few young people can withstand such pressure.
Moreover, as long as an agreement is reached with Airbus Aircraft, Yunfei not only does not need to invest such a huge amount of money and encounter so many difficulties, but will also quickly obtain benefits because of Airbus's investment. At that time, China's resurgence of jerking off fever will die as soon as it is launched.
"Ma Lao, do you think I would be so stupid?" Yun Fei saw that Ma Fengshan and Cheng were both eager from time to time, and couldn't help but be happy, "I clearly told them that what we need is the engine, not the overall aircraft manufacturing technology!" So, after we get the engine to make the plane fly, let's get our plane seriously. Especially mainline airliners. Back then, you were able to get out of the Luck Ten, and I believe that now we can also do the Cloud Twenty, not to mention, we can get a lot of technology in the world! ā
These two old men who are not too old, what are they thinking in their hearts, how can Yun Fei not know?
"But we've been here for so long without the slightest progress, how can we solve the engine problem? You can't expect Qin Fei to complete the localization of the bass engine, right? The corners of Jiang Jianxing's mouth twitched, there was no engine, and every qiÄ was in vain.
The engine is the core and most important heart of an aircraft.
Although there are countless key technologies in civil airliners, the engine is the most important!
"This matter is in a hurry, we haven't been in contact with Rolls-Royce yet, what they mean, it's not clear. It's useless for us to be in a hurry. As soon as he said this, Yun Fei was big.
Don't count on GM's side.
However, it is difficult to say that the competition between GM and Rolls-Royce is fierce, and Pratt & Whitney's civil engine business is not very good, compared to the first two oligarchs, it is still much worse.
"Otherwise, we will use Pratt & Whitney's engine, even if the JT8D-200 is not as good as the PW6000 engine they are developing, it should not be outdated in the next one or two decades......" Cheng Cheng, who has always rarely proposed to build yƬ, feels that it is too much time to waste time here.
No matter which engine you choose, there is not much difference for Chinese users.
After all, Pratt & Whitney's JT8D-200 engine is the most cost-effective engine in the world for the time being.
"This is still not considered for the time being, although we have not seen the aircraft accident report of McDonnell Douglas, but it is definitely not just a matter of aircraft design, otherwise I used the engine problem to deceive Black, and he did not refute it too fiercely......" Yun Fei regretted the most that he did not pay more attention to the situation of McDonnell Douglas at the beginning.
This aircraft manufacturer has a lot of their products in China, and there are also a lot of accidents, but many of them are frequent accidents after entering the 21st century, and the plane accidents that make McDonnell Douglas bankrupt basically appear in Europe and the United States.
It is simply impossible for Chinese to see detailed accident reports.
"We can't stay like this forever, can we?" Jiang Jianxing is very depressed about staying in the hotel every day, learning about the situation in China through the Internet where the speed is not good, and even if there is anything that cannot be dealt with in time. "Why don't I go back to China first?"
"Indeed, we don't need to spend all of it here, although domestic research has been going on, but if you don't stare at it, you feel uneasy, after all, those old guys are old, and the younger generation has little experience......" Ma Fengshan also agreed.
As in the case of the Jiuyi Research Institute, the design and research team of Xianglong Commercial Aircraft is also like this, the older generation are all retired technicians of 67, and the new recruits are all young people who have just come out of school, and the middle fault is particularly strict.
This is basically the common denominator of the entire Chinese technology industry. (To be continued......)
