Chapter 1396: Don't Fool Insiders (One Shift Arrives)

"Hello Mr. Lin, I'm Albert, Special Counsel of IAE, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

Although Sean was rejected by Lin Hongfei before, whether it was Airbus, IAE International, which provides engines for Airbus, and Pratt, one of IAE International's major shareholders. The Whitney Company will not give up so easily, business negotiations, and it will be difficult to have a second world war? As for such a difficult thing as the Second World War, didn't the most difficult thing be successfully solved?

The IAE International Special Representative was the representative of IAE International through the Pratt. Sean, a special contact between the Whitney Company and Mr. Lin, contacted Mr. Lin...... They firmly believe that as long as there are common interests between everyone, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

"Hello Mr. Albert, I'm glad to get to know you." IAE's attitude is still very correct, Lin Hongfei did not refuse people thousands of miles away, and politely said to Albert, "IAE company is a well-known aero engine supplier in the world, although it has not been established for a long time, but the technical background is profound, if possible, I hope that the two sides can establish in-depth cooperation." ”

Want to work with IAE? Faced with the information released by Lin Hongfei, Albert suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: the news reported by Sean before made Pratt. Whitney, Rolls-Royce, IAE International and other bigwigs are all nervous, an order totaling up to $1 billion, but Lin Hongfei's request was interpreted by Albert as Lin Hongfei did not completely fall out with Airbus and IAE.

In any case, this is good news.

"It is an honor for IAE to be willing to cooperate with IAE in aero-engine technology," Albert said.

Who wouldn't say good things? Anyway, two good words won't kill people, and besides, in Albert's opinion. This happened to be an opportunity to pinch Lin Hongfei, and he euphemistically expressed his dissatisfaction, "But Mr. Lin, your previous attitude was not very ...... Friendly. ”

"My previous attitude was already very good," Lin Hongfei shook his head with a smile, obviously he did not agree with Albert's words, "As far as I know, on the issue of how to deal with the relationship with our company, Airbus and Pratt. The differences between the Whitney companies were wide. ”

He, Lin Hongfei, even knows this? Lin Hongfei's words made Albert's heart, which was still full of confidence just now, suddenly begin to sink non-stop: Pratt. Whitney and Airbus have disagreed on how to treat Mr. Lin, to be honest. This was something that even Albert had not thought of...... Of course, he would never have imagined that Lin Hongfei actually didn't know what to do, and he was blind at all...... But being able to be sent by IAE International to negotiate with Lin Hongfei, Albert's ability is extraordinary after all, and his mind is turning rapidly. The man shook his head disappreciatively, "With all due respect." Mr. Lin, you may have overestimated the situation. We are partners, we have common interests and different interests, and it is normal to have some differences, and we can always find solutions. ”

"Is that so?" Lin Hongfei shook his head with a disapproving smile.

It seems that he Lin Hongfei disagrees with Albert's words. The reason why I don't argue is just basic courtesy.

Well? This discovery made Albert's brows furrowed suddenly, and now Albert was not sure how much information Lin Hongfei had in his hands...... Damn it! These things should not be known to him. It's bad now, whether it's IAE or Airbus, it's going to be very passive because of this, it's not okay! Absolutely not!

In a hurry, Albert quickly thought of a solution, and immediately smiled, "Mr. Lin, I simply said it directly, this time I came, on behalf of IAE International, to discuss with Mr. Lin about the procurement of your country's civil aviation aircraft, as long as we cooperate happily, you said that we will carefully consider the cooperation in engine technology, there will be no problems, just ask Mr. Lin not to have any misunderstanding with us, for helping the development of your country's civil aviation industry, Both IAE International and Airbus have the most enthusiastic attitude. ”

The relationship between IAE and Airbus is not a secret in the industry at all, and Albert has no intention of concealing it at all, he just wants to tell Lin Hongfei in this way that he came this time to say good things to Airbus, and also to clearly "hint" Lin Hongfei in this way, as long as you promise to lobby your country's civil aviation system to purchase more Airbus aircraft, we will definitely give some "returns" in terms of engine technology.

It sounds like this, but Lin Hongfei couldn't help laughing: What does it mean to "think carefully"? The latter sentence "there is no problem" is obviously deceiving, and the first sentence "careful consideration" is the core...... After careful consideration, we have decided not to cooperate with you, and this is also a deliberate consideration.

It's just a matter of fooling himself, what makes Lin Hongfei angry the most is that Albert dares to dig a pit for himself! This made Lin Hongfei suddenly a little unhappy.

"Mr. Albert, I think you may have misunderstood something, but first of all, I have no resentment with Airbus and Boeing, and I have a lot of respect for these two companies, which they deserve to be where they are in the world...... I recommend the Russian TU-154M passenger aircraft to China's civil aviation system, which is completely based on China's existing national conditions: China's economic level is not very developed, but the rapid development of the economy puts forward a higher demand for the transport capacity of civil aviation, TU-154M This aircraft can meet our requirements of 'spending as little money as possible, doing as much as possible', in terms of carrying capacity, TU-154M and Boeing 737-300, Airbus A320 are in the same carrying capacity level, The carrying capacity is between 150 and 180 people, but the TU-154M can do about 8 million dollars a plane, and can the Boeing 737-300 and Airbus A320 do it at this price? ”

"This ......" Albert suddenly said: to achieve an ultra-low price of $8 million? How is this possible?!

If it weren't for these damn Russians to stir up the situation, Albert would have spit on Lin Hongfei's face: $8 million to buy a plane with a passenger capacity of between 150 and 180 seats? Are you kidding? The Boeing 737 and the Airbus A320 cost $40 million, and now you want to take it for a fifth of the price? Dream!

But...... Damn the Russians!

The thought of the Russians selling planes of this class so cheaply tickled his teeth with hatred.

After a while, Albert said stupidly, "Mr. Lin, the TU-154 aircraft is indeed cheap, but you have to know a little bit, the safety of the TU-154 aircraft is far worse than the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737, there are serious design safety hazards, for aviation practitioners, safety is the most important, your country is a socialist country, do you not pay attention to the safety of guests' lives?" ”

"Bad security? Serious design safety hazards? That's serious, isn't it? Lin Hongfei shook his head with a smile, very disapproving Albert's words, "As far as I know, the TU-154 series aircraft has only had 6 major accidents since it was put into service, but the Boeing 737 series aircraft has had 11 major accidents so far, even if Airbus has just put into use the A320 for a few years, there have been two accidents, considering that most of the countries that use TU-154 aircraft are in poor economic condition. Countries where the maintenance and maintenance of aircraft is very inadequate, and many aircraft have a long service life......"

Speaking of this, Lin Hongfei shook his head, "If I say that the comfort of the TU-154 aircraft is insufficient, I will admit it, and I will not deny that the fuel economy of this aircraft is not good, but if you say that the safety of this aircraft is ...... Neither the Boeing 737 nor the Airbus A320 can compare with it, right? ”

Albert was speechless, and his face couldn't help but blush slightly.

Lin Hongfei is right, although everyone is talking about how the TU-154 aircraft is not good, but is it possible that the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 are better there? The so-called TU-154 aircraft is not safe enough to say that the three competitors of the Tupolev Design Bureau, Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus, are deliberately smearing their competitors, and the flight record of the TU-154 is indeed relatively poor, but the causes of accidents are usually caused by bad weather and low-quality maintenance, and there are no flaws in the design of the aircraft itself.

But then the problem is serious, and Albert seems to be very insincere on this issue...... Although everyone knows that this is a common business method in business, desperately misleading their customers and letting them choose their own products, this is just a situation that everyone defaults to, and for buyers, they definitely don't like this situation.

Also, who likes a guy who is desperately trying to fool himself? This bastard fooled himself at the beginning, will he fool himself on the final product as well? "I think the news that Mr. Albert is coming to visit me should have been on the table of the relevant departments, so ......"

Boss Lin suddenly grinned, and his bright teeth were faintly flashing with cold light, "If the leaders of the civil aviation system ask, I will truthfully relay Mr. Albert's words." (To be continued......)
