"Guys, I'm sure you all know the content of that press conference, and I think it's troublesome."

Unlike the last joint video teleconference, this time, as soon as the video was connected, Pratt. The representative of the Whitney Company had a solemn face.

Pratt now. Whitney regretted it, he really regretted it, they regretted it for why they had to listen to Citigroup's pleading, and they ended up making such a thing out of force.

"It's not us who is in trouble, it's you Pratt. The Whitney Company, right? The representative of Rolls-Royce gloated, "Does this mean that the North County 100 aircraft of the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. can abandon your JT8D-200?" ”

From Rolls-Royce's point of view, they wish Lin Hongfei and Pratt were the same. The more the Whitney company is in trouble, the better, and if the two companies fall out completely, the BR710 series engine that Rolls-Royce and BMW have a chance...... It's not just Rolls-Royce that's what Rolls-Royce thinks, it's GE that's really the case.

"You ......" Pratt. The person in charge of the Whitney Company suddenly turned pale! Anyone who was slapped in the face like this would not have a good look on his face, he stood up abruptly and said angrily, "Even if we Pratt. Whitney lost this order, and you BMW.Rolls-Royce don't necessarily have a chance! ”

"How can you know the Tao without trying?" The representative of the Rolls-Royce company shrugged his shoulders and looked noncommittal, "There is hope when there is a chance, isn't it?" ”

Although the person in charge of General Electric did not speak, he had already begun to calculate in his heart: compared with Lin Hongfei's minimum thrust of 6,000 kilograms, the thrust of the CF34-3C series is still smaller. But it will take some time for CF34-8 to be used, so how should Lin Hongfei be persuaded to accept GE's CF34-8?

"Everyone, don't fight," the Citigroup representative waved his hand vigorously, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the time for us to argue about these issues. Whitney's JT8D or Rolls-Royce's MK601, I believe they are no longer in the eyes of Lin Hongfei's damn bastard, according to the information we have, by 96 or 97. They'll be able to come up with the first engineering prototype, and there's not a lot of time to test for a replica engine, so I want everyone to understand that there's not a lot of time left for us right now. We need to come up with a solution now, not argue about it here. ”

Lin Hongfei's company can already produce 80cm diameter turbofan blades. For us. This is really terrible news, so we have to come up with a countermeasure to deal with it immediately, but in any case, JT8D obviously can't satisfy the appetite of Lin Hongfei's bastard. ”

As soon as these words came out, Pratt. Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and General Electric representatives all began to look down and count the ants on the table: "Do you want us to give you Citigroup a profit with real money?" How can there be so many good things in this world?

But they had to admit that the representatives of Citigroup were telling the truth. JT8D can not satisfy Lin Hongfei's appetite: JT8D is a turbofan engine with a small bypass ratio, and it is also the first generation of commercial turbofan engine in the United States after World War II, the reason why it lost in the competition of CFM56-5B engine, and the JT8D-200 engine that only has a bypass ratio of 1.7:1 is not unrelated: in the case of little difference in technical level and the same thrust. The reason why the Boeing 737 gave up the JT8D with a small bypass ratio and chose the CFM56-5B with a large bypass ratio is also because of this: compared with the JT8D, the CFM56-5B can save almost 30% of jet fuel.

Originally, Lin Hongfei had the technical skills of the D-30 and D-30K series turbofan engines purchased from the Soloviev Design Bureau, and they were not too worried, because in terms of technical level, the technical level of the JT8D and D-30K series was comparable, although the bypass ratio of D-30K was 2, but because the industrial finishing capacity of the former Soviet Union was weaker than that of the United States, the fuel consumption of the two engines was actually almost the same.

The current JT8D and D-30K series are no longer suitable for power on large commercial aircraft, but if the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. can produce turbofan blades with a size of more than 80 cm, then the problem is serious: it directly means that they can produce turbofan engines with large bypass ratios between 5 and 6, and the bypass ratio of the most widely used V2500 series and CFM56-5B series turbofan engines is exactly between this bypass ratio.

General Electric, Pratt. Whitney and Rolls-Royce are not afraid of how much the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has made great achievements in this backward small duct than engines, and even if they do it, they will not have much success in business, for example, the military model D-30KP of the D-30K series of the Soloviev Design Bureau was used in the large transport aircraft Il-76, but how many Il-76s were produced in the entire world?

For an aero engine, the most important thing is to be able to commercialize it on a large scale, just look at the V2500 and CFM56, but now, the problem is troublesome, Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. not only has mastered the technology of D-30K series engines, but also can manufacture turbofan blades with a length of 80 cm, which means that Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has the potential to produce commercial turbofan engines with large bypass ratios...... What a failure.

Everyone understands this truth, but it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to be willing or not, especially Pratt. Whitney Company, originally they had signed a contract with Lin Hongfei, relying on this contract, JT8D, who had reached the end of his life, could make a lot of money again, but because of the damn Citibank matter, let Pratt. The Whitney duck grew wings and flew away, a result that made Pratt. How could the Whitney Company be reconciled?

"I don't think that's the most important question, the most important question is whether Citibank will continue to stick to what it was doing?" I'm on behalf of Pratt. Whitney stated that if Citibank continues to insist on economic sanctions and repression against Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., we at Pratt. The Whitney Company will pull out. ”

Pratt. As soon as the head of the Whitney Company said this, the others immediately echoed it.

On the contrary, I heard that the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has accelerated the pace of independent research and development, which is a major enterprise group that wants to limit the industrial development of the Republic through technology and only wants to make the Republic a dumping ground for their commodities.

The head of Citibank's face changed, "I understand what everyone means, but now, everyone thinks, can we just launch it and end this matter perfectly?" ”

Before the start of this video and teleconference, Citibank had actually reached an agreement internally, since the sanctions were useless, then give up, Lin Hongfei's damn bastard didn't mean to compromise and back down at all, just let go? Based on Citibank's analysis of Lin Hongfei's character, this bastard prefers to bite whatever he prefers and does not let go.

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but fall silent. The Whitney representative finally spoke, "What do you mean?" ”

"I mean it very simply...... Didn't they Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. want to build airplanes? Why don't they work together with Boeing or Airbus to produce Boeing 737 or Airbus A320? Well, at this point, I'm more inclined to Airbus. Speaking of this, he looked at the representative of Airbus with a slightly complicated expression.

Everyone knows what this look means: in the previous civil aviation procurement of the Civil Aviation Administration of the Republic of China, because Airbus participated in Citibank's sanctions against Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the result attracted the Chinese retaliation, was severely punished by the Chinese, just symbolically purchased two A320, the development of Airbus itself is not very good, if the A320 can be produced in China, it does not seem to be a bad thing.

"How?" Airbus representatives were a little moved.

However, this time Airbus has become a big joke, the company's directors and parent company are very dissatisfied with Airbus's behavior this time, if it can be used to occupy the republic's civil aircraft market, it is also a good way.

"This needs to be negotiated between the two of you, but I personally prefer to refer to the cooperation between Volkswagen and Dongfang." A gleam flashed in the eyes of the representative of Citigroup.

Volkswagen's investment in the republic is regarded as a classic investment case by the entire Western world, and Chrysler Motors regrets it and wants to crash to death on the wall. Lin Hongfei, that bastard, is a guy who likes to take everything into his own hands. (To be continued......)
