974 Who's the Fool (4th Update)

Only when it is exported to the Chinese, the Chinese who are afraid of trouble will not engage in independent research and development.

Everyone knows this, but not many people can do it. It's not that these people don't want to make money from China's domestic market, it's that the ability of Chinese copycats is too strong. A lot of things, once in the hands of Chinese, it won't be long before Chinese will come out on their own......

"Airplanes are not ordinary equipment, they can only be made by the entire national industrial system. Although the Chinese have a complete industrial system, they have not been able to invest more money in independent research and development because of their system problems. But now the situation is different, China is not going to build big planes, it is not their country, but private investors...... "Enfeit sees these things more clearly than anyone else."

The more the Chinese are stopped, the more likely the Chinese will be to develop these technologies themselves.

Chinese are the smartest people in the world, but they are also the most trouble-feared people in the world. Perhaps it is their nature that most of the energy of Chinese is focused on internal fighting when there is no external pressure.

"That's true. This time, we are only banning the export of engines to China's Xianglong Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Company, and in order to prevent Chinese from working on this project on their own, I submitted a letter to our group company about the establishment of a joint venture company specifically for the Chinese market and cooperate with the Chinese government to produce the large passenger aircraft they need......" Jon's words surprised Enfitt.

It's no wonder that when the company's board of directors sent itself to the United States, it also asked the company's vice president, Portia. Kyront is also here.

Although the competition between the two sides is fierce. But in China, the interests are absolutely the same.

"Will the Chinese agree to this cooperation plan?" In just an instant, Enfitt smiled, and in this smile, the meaning of ridicule was even stronger.

After all, civil airliners are not those top-level strategic equipment, although airplanes are also very important for modern national defense security, but transport planes are not bombers after all. But there are a lot of technologies that are universal.

If China can build a large passenger aircraft, it will be able to build a strategic bomber through these technologies.

The Chinese will never foolishly agree to their cooperation plan, which is nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of the Americans.

They were fooled by the Americans once. From China's reform and opening up in the eighties to the present. The Chinese have paid tens of billions of dollars to buy foreign airliners, but they can only assemble McDonnell Douglas planes and produce some parts of Boeing planes, such as tails and fairings.

Now is the critical period of the change of power in the Chinese government, and those people in their country who are not in a stable position can have the audacity to do so for their own personal interests?

"If not cooperative. Will they be able to have an airplane to use? Chinese have always wanted to introduce technology. And then domestic production. Finally, the road to independent innovation, after all, for them, this is the most cost-effective thing......" Jon believes. The Chinese will definitely cooperate with them.

And before that, he had been in contact with some Chinese officials, who didn't want their young private boss to work on the project, and Jon knew it very well.

What's more, on the piece of independent research and development, tens of billions of dollars are thrown into it, and it may not be possible to see a splash.

Enfitt disagrees with Jon's self-confidence. He was French, and once their most powerful emperor, Napoleon, said that China was a sleeping lion and that when she woke up, the whole world would tremble.

Because of Boeing's manipulation of the Chinese market, the Chinese have now launched their own large aircraft program. And the 80,000-ton press for this project is the most stressful super heavy equipment on the whole planet!

As long as the Chinese carry out a lot of hype, in the end there is often no result.

However, this time, the Chinese engaged in the 80,000-ton press project, but did not do any publicity at all, which shows that the Chinese care about this project far more than the outside world imagined. More importantly, the project is not led by the Chinese government, but by China's Jiuyi Heavy Industry Group and China Second Heavy Industry Group in conjunction with China North Heavy Industry Group.

In this regard, there has been no technology, and the Jiuyi Heavy Industry Group has contributed money, and China's two huge heavy industry groups have contributed technology and production strength.

This project is a supporting project for China's large aircraft project.

Yun Fei, the private boss, has already started working on this project, and although the Chinese government does not have strong support, it is not a joke with two huge state-owned factories involved in this matter......

"The Chinese would not have agreed to such a request for cooperation, and besides, we would have to control it, and they only have a small stake." When McDonnell Douglas made Chinese already have a deep wariness...... "For Boeing's mention, Airbus aircraft felt unreliable.

However, the huge market opportunity contained in this still makes Airbus very jealous.

For a long time, Boeing has laid various foundations because of McDonnell Douglas in China for ten years, and most of the Chinese market is controlled by Boeing. This time, Boeing offered to split the profits of the market equally.

This has to make Airbus companies, which do not have much market share in China, tempted.

But Portia has a lot of ideas about this approach. Chinese are not fools, and it is impossible for the Americans to fall for the same thing once and then fall for the same twice. Especially at this time, the Chinese themselves have begun to study the large aircraft project.

Costello shook his head, "Their government simply doesn't have the heart to carry out this project that requires continuous investment, after all, they don't have any foundation, and they have to start from the most basic place......

"Didn't they ever build big planes? And the large aircraft that have been producing and assembling McDonnell Douglas for many years will not require much investment, right? Portia didn't know much about China, and he always thought that the Chinese had these basic production capabilities.

After all, the Chinese's Yun-10 project was a project with their A300 at the same time, and the A300 cost a total of more than $20 billion, while the Chinese's Yun-10 project spent less than 600 million soft sister coins after more than 150 hours of flight tests.

How the Chinese came up with this project with such a small amount of research funding, no one knows except the Chinese themselves.

If it can control costs like the Chinese, Airbus Aircraft will definitely be able to multiply its profits several times. As a result, more R&D funds will be invested in the research of new aircraft, and it will not be difficult to surpass Boeing in the field of civil airliners.

"Assembling McDonnell Douglas aircraft means having production capacity? Can the various tests required for the development of a new aircraft be consistent with the equipment and testing equipment required to assemble the finished aircraft? Costello said with a smile.

McDonnell Douglas's plan was a complete success.

At the very least, most of the test workshops built by the Chinese have been scrapped, and most of the parts of the two Yun-10 planes in stock at the Shanghai Aircraft Factory were used by McDonnell Douglas technicians to train Chinese workers in riveting techniques and practice riveting guns.

If China wants to build a big aircraft again, most of the equipment has to be upgraded, and many real workshops have to start redesigning production.

After all, a lot of the equipment in the Shanghai Aircraft Factory was designed in the 70s, and it simply cannot adapt to modern aircraft manufacturing and testing.

"Portia, this matter is completely in line with our interests, we divide our interests equally in the Chinese market, and the market outside China still depends on the choice of the market...... "Costello hopes to promote this cooperation.

This plan is Jon. Carson planned to avoid Boeing gaining a larger market share in the Chinese market.

Boeing is involved in too many businesses, and although it is the world's number one aircraft manufacturer, it is far from being able to devote all its resources to the research of new aircraft such as Airbus, which is only a professional company specializing in civil aviation aircraft.

Portia did not take a position on Costello's construction.

"Enfit, what do you think about this?" For the ability of Enfit, the entire Airbus company is obvious to all, and the Airbus company has grabbed a lot of orders from Boeing in recent years, not only because of their excellent technology, but also because of the efforts of the business department.

No matter how good the product is, it needs to be sold before it can be called a commodity.

The aircraft of Boeing and Airbus aircraft are basically equal in technology, and market competition often has all aspects of foot strength, not only because of technology.

In recent years, Boeing has been increasing its research on the Chinese market, and once it opens the Chinese market, it is very likely to gain more market share than Boeing.

"In the first two years, we withdrew from the Chinese market, although it has a lot to do with international relations, but mainly because of Boeing's ghosts. If we cooperate with them, let alone whether China will accept the cooperation agreement under the pressure of both of us, but it is we who suffer the most. In the European and American markets, the competition between our two sides is becoming more and more fierce, and whoever can get more Chinese markets will be able to get more research funds...... "Enfeld is not optimistic about this cooperation.

"Moreover, even if the Chinese develop their own large aircraft projects, it will take at least ten years from the establishment of the project to the time the aircraft enters the market through various tests." Moreover, Chinese will never be able to gain the ability to produce passenger aircraft with more than 300 seats within this decade, and this is our market opportunity......" Enfitt said very clearly.
