Chapter 1137 Strengthening Cooperation

ps: ps: I have to do some things at home these days, so the update is not strong enough, I can only say that I try to adjust it as much as possible, sorry.

On December 90th, General Electric Financial Aviation Services announced in Fengyuan that it would purchase 90 md[-] passenger planes from Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group in the next three years!This news, like a shot in the arm, made China's public opinion boil again, and Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group once again became the focus of attention of the Chinese people.This move by General Electric Financial Aviation Services Company undoubtedly marks that the md[-] airliner produced by Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group has been initially recognized by the world airliner market!For many Chinese people who have dreamed of a large aircraft for many years, this is a big event no less than the Shenzhou going to the sky!

On December 21st, Gilchrist, the president of General Electric Financial Aviation Services, flew to Hong Kong in person. Fang Mingyuan received him at the headquarters of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Corporation, his own office.Also present was Chen Jingtao, President of Kowloon Airlines.

"Fang, I did what I promised!" After taking his seat, Gilchrist laughed, convincing the rest of the board of directors of GE Financial Aviation Services that it took him a lot of talking, and he took this opportunity to become a rapidly developing company. One of the important reasons for him to convince others is that Kowloon Airlines is the main supplier of leased aircraft in China.

"Hehe, so I will keep my promise!" Fang Mingyuan smiled, "Mr. Chen of our Kowloon Airlines is already sitting here, and I assure you that under the same conditions, Kowloon Airlines will definitely Priority consideration for aircraft leasing from GE Capital Aviation Services!"

"Young Master Fang's guarantee is our company's promise, and I can assure you, President Gilchrist." Chen Jingtao laughed.The Fang family was originally the major shareholder of Kowloon Airlines, holding 30.00% of the shares. If the shares of the Guo family and the Zheng family were added, they absolutely controlled Kowloon Airlines.Moreover, it can be said that the Fang family opened the door for Kowloon Airlines to enter the mainland.Many of those overseas routes were won by Fang Mingyuan through his influence.Therefore, Chen Jingtao's remarks were not polite.

Gilchrist couldn't help but smile. With the promise of Fang Mingyuan and Chen Jingtao, most of his tasks for this trip to Hong Kong were completed.After Chen Jingtao and Gilchrist agreed on a time to meet again, he left in a hurry. Kowloon Airlines is in a period of rapid expansion. As the president, he naturally has a lot of affairs.

"Fang. Actually, I have one more thing to do when I come to Hong Kong this time." Gilchrist laughed.

"Huh? Please tell me!" Fang Mingyuan said in a little surprise.

"After your company has received the order for these 2500 passenger planes, it is bound to continue to expand production. Do you still want to use the V[-] series engines of the International Aviation Engine Company for your engines?" Gilchrist said with a smile, "As far as I know You know, the International Aero Engine Company was not very friendly to your company before."

International Aero Engine Corporation is a joint venture company jointly funded and established by Pratt & Whitney of the United States, Rolls-Royce of the United Kingdom, Japan Aero Engine Corporation, and MTU Aero Engine Corporation of the Federal Republic of Germany. The v2500 series engine is the only product of International Aero Engines.It is adopted by the Airbus A320 series family and the McDonnell Douglas md-90 system airliner.After McDonnell Douglas was annexed by Boeing, most of the McDonnell Douglas production lines were changed to Boeing aircraft production lines. The only remaining Boeing 717 still uses products from Rolls-Royce.Therefore, the International Aero Engine Company originally no longer produced the engine models required by the md90 aircraft.Switched to producing engines for the Airbus A320 family of aircraft.

The seventeen md90 aircraft manufactured by Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group initially used engines imported in those years.The engines required for later production were ordered by Boeing from the International Aero Engine Company.In order to buy these engines.Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group really spent a lot of effort, and the price of International Aero Engine Company to Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group was nearly [-]% higher than the price to McDonnell Douglas back then!Of course, this is due to the depreciation of the US dollar and the insufficient purchase volume of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, but more importantly, the International Aero Engine Company does not think that Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group can become a success!
Fang Mingyuan blinked his eyes.After looking at Gilchrist for a while, he laughed and said, "It seems that Kidd, do you have any good suggestions?" This was a pleasant surprise.

Gilchrist leaned forward and said, "We, General Electric Aircraft Engine Company, are willing to help your company solve this problem!"

Fang Mingyuan remained calm, but his pupils shrank slightly. Gilchrist's proposal was beyond his expectation.General Electric Aircraft Engine Company is also a world-renowned engine manufacturer. Not only can it produce civil airliner engines, both Boeing and Airbus have used GE Aircraft Engine Company's engines, and they also provide various fighter jets for the US military. Engines, such as the TF10 engine used by the military A-34 "Thunder" attack aircraft and the TF5 engine used by the C-39 "Galaxy" transport aircraft.

It would be a good thing if General Electric Aircraft Engine Company is willing to provide suitable engines for Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group's md90, thereby changing the current situation that Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group is subject to the International Aero Engine Company in terms of engines...

Gilchrist looked at the thoughtful Fang Mingyuan, and felt a little apprehensive. This proposal was indeed a bit abrupt, but Gilchrist believed that this was also an opportunity for General Electric Group!
The competition between the three major manufacturers of aero engines, General Electric Group, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce can be said to have a long history!However, among the three major manufacturers, none of them can win an overwhelming victory. It can only be said that they each lead for five or eight years.

In order to expand its market share, General Electric Group is also actively cooperating with airlines in Brazil and Canada to provide engines for the regional airliners developed by them.After the situation of the md90 aircraft produced by Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group was reported back to the headquarters of General Electric Financial Aviation Services, Gilchrist talked about it with the president of General Electric Aircraft Engine Company at a regular meeting of the group's senior personnel. The president of the Electric Aircraft Engine Company immediately expressed that he was very interested in Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group and hoped to contact through Gilchrist to strengthen future cooperation between the two parties.

Gilchrist certainly understands the thoughts of his colleagues. If Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group can be pulled from the camp of the International Aero Engine Company to the camp of the General Electric Group, it is not just a matter of having one more customer, but also digging The corner of the competitor - the major shareholders of International Aero Engines are Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce, and the combined shares of the two must reach more than 60.00% of the company's total shares!

More importantly, General Electric Aircraft Engine Company can take this opportunity to enter China's passenger aircraft manufacturing industry.Although China's passenger aircraft manufacturing industry can only be said to be a toddler now, there are currently only two types of aircraft produced, Xinzhou 60 and md90, and the output cannot be compared with world-renowned aviation companies, but the future prospects are not tolerable. underestimate.

China's aviation market will be a big market that is not inferior to the North American aviation market and the European aviation market. More importantly, this market has just started. The number of aircraft needed by Huaxia is an extremely astonishing number!

Although it is said that in this market, these aviation manufacturing companies in the world, whether they are producing mainline aircraft or regional aircraft, all want to get a share of it, but the Chinese people don't seem to want to give up their own aviation market .Although the md90 produced by Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group is a project that Boeing has discontinued production, this does not mean that it has no merits, just because it is similar to a certain type of Boeing aircraft Of course, Boeing is of course giving priority to ensuring the production of its own "lawful son".

If Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group can really understand the md90 thoroughly, it is not impossible to develop passenger aircraft with its own intellectual property rights on this basis.In any case, although China's industrial system is obviously lagging behind developed countries, it is one of the few countries in the world with a comprehensive industrial system and the ability to produce its own military aircraft.It has been unable to build its own civilian airliner for so many years. It is not so much a problem of ability as a problem of system.

But this time, the establishment and operation of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group made him feel that the Huaxia people were serious this time, and that the government had delegated power, and Fang Mingyuan was also serious!The icing on the cake is always better than giving charcoal in the snow. General Electric Aircraft Engines is also very clear about this simple truth.If we do not lay a good foundation in advance, we may have to devote more energy and funds to compete with the other two companies in the future.

"Replacing the engine of an airplane is not a simple matter, it requires a lot of work." Fang Mingyuan said slowly, "Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group has some problems to do this independently."

"This is not a problem. Our engineers from the General Electric Aircraft Engine Company are happy to help your company complete this work. And, please believe that the performance of the md90 aircraft will be even better with our engines!" Gilchrist vowed, "Absolutely not inferior to the International Aero Engine Corporation!"
