"It's good, it's North County 100?" Eric didn't care about Acton's attitude at all, and immediately asked Acton with a smile on his face, "So, Mr. Acton, we Platt. What can Whitney do for your company? ”

"We hope that Pratt & Whitney can tailor an engine for our North County 100 model, and assist us in matching, commissioning, improving and upgrading and after-sales service with the aircraft. Hui has a good relationship with the FAA. Hui Company wants to help us clear some unnecessary obstacles. Acton's designer was full of confidence, opened his mouth, and did not hesitate to prescribe his own conditions.

"God, this can't be!" Rao is Eric was already mentally prepared to believe in his heart, and he was also taken aback when he heard Acton's big opening, "You are just purchasing a few, at most dozens of engines, these jobs require a lot of time and energy, and for Pratt & Whitney, it is not worth it!" ”

If you can still control the Boeing 737 market, Eric can make people love you very much over Acton and throw it directly, but in the mid-level thrust engine market, Pu. Hui Company can only wait and watch, watching CFM eat meat, but he can only eat a little bit of leftovers on his face, which makes Pratt & Whitney, which is also the world's three major civil aircraft engine manufacturers, embarrassed?

Jessica looked at Acton with a smile and said confidently, "Mr. Eric, who told you that we would only purchase a few dozen engines?" ”

Not dozens of engines? Listen to the meaning of Jessica's words, that's more? Knowing what Jessica meant, Eric struck a shock: If that's the case. Then everyone can move on.

"So, your products have found a market?" After deliberately pondering for a while, Eric spoke slowly.

"It's our business," Jessica wouldn't be fooled, and for this meeting, the entire company's top management sat together for a whole week of closed-door meetings, in order to make it clear that the whole company was in Tongpu. Megumi met with the various situations he encountered during the talks, and the strategies he used to deal with them, "Mr. Eric, if you agree to our terms. We can even sign a secret agreement, after the North County 100 obtains the FAA airworthiness certificate, in the next 5 years, we guarantee to purchase no less than 200 engines, and will be general. Megumi's engine is designated as the only engine to be used in our Bukgun-100 model. ”

After saying this. Jessica looked at Eric with confidence, and he didn't believe it. In the face of such a big temptation of interest. General. Can Hui Company endure it?

"Really?! Miss Jessica, Mr. Acton, are you sure that you will purchase no less than 250 engines in the next 5 years after obtaining the airworthiness certificate? Eric stood up suddenly, his heart beyond ecstasy!

Acton's company is making great fanfare about improving and upgrading the TU-134B. Hui Company. For this reason. Hui's business personnel also came to sell them engines, but they pushed them off, and when the relevant personnel reported this to Eric before, Eric was disappointed. I thought it was Acton and they had other options, so they scolded Luo fiercely. Luo Company and General Electric, now it seems that it turned out that they were wrong, and they dared to love Mr. Acton with this calculation!

TU-134B is a twin-engine engine, according to the procurement tradition of the civil aviation system, when the aircraft manufacturer purchases the engine, the twin-engine engine is usually purchased according to the three-engine program: two engines are assembled on the aircraft, and one engine is sold directly to the airline that buys the engine as a spare engine, in order to replace the spare engine in time when the engine fails, so as to ensure the operation of the aircraft.

Of course, this is the general situation, but if it is an airline that purchases in large quantities, such as purchasing more than 30 aircraft at a time, it will naturally not purchase 30 spare engines, usually this number is around 10, but even so, the purchase of 200 engines at one time...... Acton, who is very familiar with civil aviation and aero engine business, immediately came to the conclusion that although the improvement work of the TU-134B, that is, the North County 100, has not yet been completed, Acton must have found a big customer, and this big customer decided to purchase no less than 80 North County 100 aircraft in the next five years after obtaining the airworthiness certificate!

My God!

Realizing this, Eric shouted almost ecstatically: he had heard that Acton's company was also planning to convert the aircraft into a large private luxury jet...... In fact, they are already doing this, but with a modification of the TU-134B...... This means that at least 100 units of this aircraft can be sold! A minimum of 250 engines is required!

It's really big business!

It's big business!

No way! To catch! Be sure to catch it! Eric is well aware that if he causes Pu to be caused by his own operational error. Hui Company lost this business, and the directors of the company will definitely tear themselves apart!

Of course, if you successfully operate this business, you will not only have a large amount of commission, but also mean that you are in the general market. The status of Hui company is rising, these two possibilities, one is what Eric tries to avoid, and the other is what Eric strives for, but no matter how to do it, the goal is the same: we must pull this big customer into hand!

"Of course it's true," this time it was Acton, who spread his hands and looked at Eric calmly, "Mr. Eric, I can't think of any reason for me to lie to you. Hui is a behemoth, and our company is just a small company, which annoys Pu. Megumi doesn't do us any good...... Of course, if the news had gotten out before our North County 100 aircraft had officially obtained the FAA's airworthiness certificate, we would never have admitted it. ”

This is true, Eric looked proud, and did not have the slightest doubt about Acton's words: yes, for newcomers to the aviation industry like Acton and Jessica, United Technologies and United Technologies. Hui Company is a behemoth that they can't even imagine. And Pu. The cooperation of Hui company can certainly bring them great convenience, but if it annoys the general public. Benefit...... God, no one can afford this serious consequence.

"Okay, Pu. Hui has no problem at all, and we only support the development of all airlines," said Eric, who was complimented by Jessica and Acton. The executive president of the civil aviation power division of Hui Company, but fortunately, his brain was not broken, and he immediately realized that in addition to Pu. In addition to Hui, Jessica and Acton also have General Electric and the damned British Rawls. Royce is available for them to choose from. At this time, I really don't have the qualifications to take the shelf, "But may I ask Mr. Acton and Miss Jessica, are the two of you a suitable engine to choose from?" Of course, I can also recommend one on my behalf. ”

“JT8D。 We think the JT8D-200 series is a good fit for our North County 100 model, but we want the JT8D-200 series to be a good fit. Hui company made some adjustments to JT8D-200. Acton said. Of course, the price aspect also needs to be discussed. ”

JT8D-200 series? Acton's heart was overjoyed!

He is worried about this problem, JT8D series civil turbofan engine is the standard engine of the first generation of Boeing 737, but the Boeing 737 at that time is equipped with JT8D-7 series and JT8D-15 series, but from the second generation of Boeing 737, Boeing has given up JT8D. Instead, he threw himself into the arms of the CFM56-5B series. Hui company has developed a better performance, quieter, more fuel-efficient, higher propulsion efficiency JT8D-200 series, Pu. Hui Company also could not redeem Boeing, which was destined to abandon Pu. Megumi's heart.

More so Pu. Megumi is sad that not only the Boeing 737 abandoned the JT8D. Even MacDonald. The Douglas Company also abandoned the Douglas Company. Hui, MacDonald. Douglas has said that it will close the production line of the MD-80, which is the main model using the JT8D series engine, by 1995 at the latest, and the new MD-90 has turned into the arms of the IAE...... This seems to be very important for Pu. Hui is a good thing, because Pratt & Whitney is the largest shareholder of IAE, but a terrible reality is that MD-90 has not yet been listed, but the market prospect is no longer optimistic about everyone, so far there are less than 50 intended orders.

This is important for MacDonald. The blow was huge for Douglas, who had high hopes for the MD-90 to regain the market occupied by the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320.

Naturally, while striking MacDonald's company, it also meant cracking down on Pu. Hui company, because the original MD-90 plan used the V2500 series engine of IAE company, but now it seems that the situation is not optimistic. Seeing this situation, as the majority shareholder of IAE, Pu. Hui Company must be anxious.

What's worse is that MD-90 will not be able to obtain the FAA's airworthiness certificate until the end of next year, which means that MD-90 will be delivered to customers at the beginning of 95 at the earliest, but at this time, the damned Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 These two bastards are like twin brothers with a deep tacit understanding: they have reduced the price!

What a damn one!

The most unlucky of these is naturally Pu. Hui Company, Pu. Hui up and down has a feeling that he was being shot while lying down: Nima, you Boeing and Mai. Dao, you deliberately played Lao Tzu, right?

But now, Acton took the initiative to ask for the use of JT8D-200 series engines. Hui Company is simply a life-saving timely rain...... This is not an exaggeration at all.

"Are you really sure to use the JT8D-200 series engine?" When he asked this, Eric's voice trembled slightly.

"Yes, we have conducted a technical investigation of several medium-thrust turbofan engines with thrust in the 8000 to 8500 kg class on the market, and we believe that the JT8D-200 series is currently the most reliable and fully verified civil aviation turbofan engine, which can meet the requirements of our North County 100 in terms of power, fuel consumption, noise, comfort, propulsion efficiency and environmental protection......," Acton nodded.

Jessica followed up and added, "And Pu. Hui company has been producing JT8D for many years, and is also very mature in cost control, after-sales service, and after-sales spare parts supply, which is why we choose JT8D-200. ”

The meaning of this is that JT8D can be sold cheaper: anyway, you have already recovered the R&D costs before, and you have made a lot of money, so you should make less money at this time.

Of course, there is a deeper meaning to this statement, that is: if you are popular. If Hui doesn't give us a favorable price on JT8D, then I'm sorry, we have to throw ourselves into the arms of other aero engine manufacturers.

Eric was very sad and angry!

The dignified U.S. military-industrial giant United Technology Company, and the United Technology Company's Pratt. Whitney, when has it ever been so naked and naked? He wanted to press the pager on the table and ask the security guards to kick Jessica and Acton straight out of the room. But the problem is that he really doesn't dare, at least 250 JT8D-200 engines for the order. Hui Company is too important, and what is even more terrible is the news revealed by Miss Jessica and Mr. Acton: since the North County 100 can have so many orders before it is finalized, can the JT8D-200 series engines be sold for 500, 800 or even 1000 units in the future?

It's just that even so, he still struggles a little, "Miss Jessica, you have to know that the JT8D-200 series is our general ... The latest improvement of Hui company's JT8D series engine, with high technology content......"

"That doesn't seem like that, does it? The first engine of JT8D-200 JT8D-209 was assembled in 1980 on the first production model of MD-80: MD-81, so far JT8D-200 series has been used for more than 10 years......"

When Jessica said this, Acton and Jessica looked at Eric together like idiots, and almost said something: Mr. Eric, are you fools for us? Don't do your homework before you come? (To be continued......)
