Chapter 131 Overseas Orders
Not only COMAC, but also a number of international manufacturers expected to participate in the C919 project are very concerned about the C822 and C832 plans and the newly established commercial aviation.
They all know that once this resolution is passed, it will be of great significance to the people and the government.
"Complete localization" is absolute political correctness in China, as long as it is destined to stand in a high position with this goal, C919 is not so important in the country.
In addition, airlines are definitely willing to order their own domestic aircraft, and it is a general consensus that domestic aircraft are cheaper, and Huaguo's strong industrial capacity also has the strength to reduce costs.
There will no longer be the embarrassment of having to buy a designated product for a napkin box on a Boeing airliner, and there will be no more sky-high costs for foreign engineers to pay for maintenance.
Driven by the interests of many parties, COMAC inquired about the situation while selling miserably.
When you know that it is manufactured by 611 &132 factories together with the Civil Aviation Administration and Xinyuan Company, it means that the project has been ironclad, and the local area of Shuchuan will do its best to protect it.
Moreover, both C822 and C832 made their first flight within two years of military orders, and commercial aviation alone cannot do this.
It is possible to manufacture the housing alone, but it is difficult to say about other internationally supplied components.
However, the blessing in disguise is that General Electric, Honeywell and other companies suddenly relaxed the delay in the supply of key components of C919 and began door-to-door negotiations to reach cooperation as soon as possible.
COMAC was well aware of this, but accepted it smoothly, and the C919 project was accelerated in a completely unexpected way.
At the same time, 611 Institute and Xinyuan were once again announced for sanctions, although they had long been on the sanctions list.
However, Air China later announced that it intends to purchase two C832s from Southwest Commercial Airlines as special aircraft!
You must know that there is no special plane in China, and the planes taken are all transferred from the 747 mile that Air China usually operates, and then resume commercial flights.
Of course, there are some other factors in this, but they have disappeared with the appearance of the C832, and in order to show their support, Air China did not hesitate to make a move, and signed a high-profile contract of intent.
The special plane, which can be promoted by the Y-10 at the beginning, can tilt a lot of resources under this premise.
You know, at this time, the commercial aviation company doesn't even have a shadow!
The official began to endorse and support, which made many people understand that the two projects of C822 and C832 have been registered at the top level, and their status exceeds that of C919.
It is still clear which important superior is the own son or the godson, and no matter how good the latter is, it can't be completely reassured.
However, these twists and turns have little impact on ordinary people, and as the New Year approaches, Xin'an Automobile rushed to the hot search.
Because on this day, the first 1,000 XC4s were delivered to customers.
Xin'an Automobile's sales network is divided into two, one is the traditional 4S store channel, Nanfang Automobile has a direct squeeze, and the other is the online car ordering, and the factory directly sends the car to the receiving place. The advantage of the former is that there are existing cars, and the latter is that there are not so many twists and turns, there is no increase in the price of the car, and you can freely choose the color and style you like, but you need to wait.
After all, in order to save freight, the dispatched cars either have enough to save a certain amount of unified delivery, or find a vacant truck to lift the XC4 and bring it over by the way, which takes a long time.
Now the number of undelivered XC4s in Xin'an has exceeded 80,000 units, and after Chen Jun announced that the first 50,000 owners would be able to raffle into space and that the XC4 would be fitted with parts from spacecraft wreckage or scraps, there were nearly 20,000 more orders overnight.
If all these cars are delivered, the sales of Xinan Automobile will exceed 40 billion in XC4 alone!
Even after deducting all kinds of investment and various additional expenses in the early stage, the profit brought by the XC4 alone is enough to ensure that the profit of Xinan Automobile in the first fiscal year is positive.
Not to mention that so many new forces later came out to build cars, this thing is as profitable as mobile phones!
On January 28, Xin'an Automobile announced 10 lucky car owners, 9 men and 1 woman, absolutely random without any covert operation.
The oldest candidate is 48 years old, and the youngest is 23 years old, and their physical conditions meet the standards.
After one month of training, they are expected to fly into space in two batches around August 2016 on the space shuttle.
After all, they are all owners who can spend 500,000 yuan to buy a car, and they can still make up it for a month.
And none of them had the financial means to buy commercial space travel, which became the focus of the media.
Also, it's 10 people, 10 people!
Before the Progress-2 mission, it took 10 years for the Huaguo Space Agency to send 10 people to the sky, and then Xinyuan Company said: Come on, you come and buy my 500,000 car, and I will send you 50 million to the sky.
For ordinary people, they can feel that the distance between themselves and space is rapidly narrowing, and now they are 500,000 car owners, is it possible to have 50,000 in the future?
It's really not necessarily, after all, Lin Ju has calculated the account, in fact, it may be more cost-effective for Xinyuan to send people to space by lottery than to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising.
Even if the factory net profit margin of a car is only 8%, XC4 has also brought a net profit of 3.2 billion yuan, and the profit margin of XC4 is so low, and 8% of civilian-level family cars is about the same, the more expensive the car, the higher the profit margin, and the proportion of added value is far more than the increase in configuration.
If there is a 100,000-level family car that can sell 1 million and have a total net profit of 10 billion yuan, is it difficult to take out 500 million yuan to let the space shuttle fly 10 times and send 50 people to the sky?
But for these car owners, 50 space tourism places is a huge number, even if they don't resell it, they can turn an astronomical amount.
Think about it carefully,This probability has been higher than the probability of sports lottery and fucai tens of millions of jackpots to I don't know where,The latter is based on 100 million.
Therefore, buying Xin'an Automobile is an ordinary way to buy a car, which is simply an excellent financial channel.
And the XC4's performance is also a great advantage.
Although it will take some time for the mobile Internet to take off, various posts and videos of XC4 test drives have begun to circulate online.
The best of these is of course the cross-generational XW151 intelligent driving system.
As soon as many people get their hands on it, because the car is in a state of transportation, the owner must first confirm their identity through fingerprint authentication.
After that, the car machine will tell the user about the operation of the XC4 intelligent driving system, artificial intelligence Xiaoxin, native support Chinese/English bilingual, and a small number of entertainment functions.
In addition, the driver assistance function is highlighted to users, and although the word "assist" has never been left in the advertisement and name, anyone who listens to the introduction can feel that the displayed function is almost equivalent to autonomous driving.
In 2016, the buns who had never seen the world took videos of their interaction with the car and machine, which not only became popular in China for a while, but also spread abroad.
The good results of the XC4 have also brought benefits to Xin'an, and this year's year-end bonus has three special prizes: 24-hour space tour*2 and 7-day space station tour*1.
Of course, the 7-day tour of the space station fell on the head of CEO Chen Jun, not to mention anything else, the sales of 40 billion yuan alone are enough for him to be proud of, and the ability of luxury cars to absorb gold makes Southern Automobile very eye-catching, and it is also rapidly developing its own luxury models.
Two 24-hour space tours were awarded to two outstanding engineers who contributed to the BMS and intelligent driving systems.
They will also complete space travel in the middle of this year, so this year's H1 launches will be frequent, and a third H1 passenger version is rumored to be in the works, which will be designed for high-frequency space tourism.
Magic City, Harbor.
An XC4 sports car is loaded into a container and secured, and then placed on the upper deck of a container ship by a crane.
XC4 also has a small number of export orders, this is one of them, the owner set the highest configuration, and the factory is required to adjust the support of English, because the order time is early today is ready to be loaded and sent to Aramco.
At the same time, Aramco Customs printed a 200% tax bill for the car and sent it to the buyer's mailbox.
In the name column that was sent, it was written: Elon Musk.
