Reborn Resource Tycoon

This incident cast a shadow over Fang Mingyuan's originally good mood. The purchase price of the v2500 turbofan engine has not been substantially reduced, which makes the cost of the md90 aircraft not have a real reduction as previously thought. .This also means that the md90 aircraft manufactured by Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group recently is still at a loss. Although the loss is much lower than when Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group was first established, a loss is a loss!
It also made him realize that putting all his eggs in one basket is the result!Even if the International Aero Engine Company is bullying customers, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group can only endure it.However, this incident also brought an advantage. Regarding the conversion of md90 to the engine of General Electric Aircraft Engine Company, there is still a lot of opposition in Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, and now it is completely silent.

"You don't have to do this. We are used to such things. Who made us have no right to speak in this field." Guo Qingshan said with a wry smile.It can be said that from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Huaxia has been stumbling and troubled in the aviation industry like this. I don't know how many projects had to be dismantled because of the foreign party's tearing up of the contract after investing huge sums of money in the country.Not only the engines of civilian airliners, but also the engines of military fighter jets are heavily stuck.The fact that this kind of product is always sold at a high price, to the older generation of aviation people, the ears are almost callused.

"The country wants to revitalize the domestic aircraft industry, but it doesn't give enough support. This clever woman can't live without rice!" Fang Mingyuan said with a dissatisfied expression, "The engine is the core of the aircraft. When will the country be able to produce a domestically produced aviation company?" The engine, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, no longer needs to be controlled by others!"

Guo Qingshan waved his hands helplessly and said, "Nowadays, domestic research and development efforts are all focused on the research and development of military aeroengines. The engines for civil airliners have not even been approved. If you ask me, who should I ask?"

"However, the subsequent research and development of md90, or even the development of new passenger aircraft in the future, will be controlled by others without a core engine!" Fang Mingyuan sighed.

"It's not just the civilian airliner in the future, our military aircraft research and development is not the same as being subject to Russia." Guo Qingshan can fully understand Fang Mingyuan's mood, this feeling of being always stuck in the neck is really uncomfortable.Especially someone like Fang Mingyuan.This feeling was even worse for the proud son of heaven who was soaring high in his own domain and no one could stop him.But for the country, the research and development of military engines must be higher than the research and development of civilian engines. In a short period of time, the country has no time to invest heavily in research and development of civilian airliner engines, which is also a helpless move.

"Did General Electric Aircraft Engines really agree to help Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group switch to md90 engines?" Guo Qingshan asked.

"Negotiations are still ongoing, although the asking price is not very high. However, General Electric Aircraft Engines hopes that all of its engines will be used in md90 in the future. Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group prefers to keep both engines, and it is up to the customer to choose." Fang Ming went a long way.

Guo Qingshan nodded slightly, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group's thinking is understandable, after all, one more choice is one more hole card.Otherwise, what is the essential difference between being controlled by International Aero Engines and being controlled by General Electric Aircraft Engines?Won't the Yankees tear up the contract?And this is an international practice.Whether it is Boeing or Airbus, the engines used in its models.All are multi-company purchases.The big shop bullies the customers, and the big customers bully the shop. This has been the case since ancient times.only.In the past, these domestic companies did not have the confidence to challenge each other. Although Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group is a junior in the aviation industry, it has the Fang family's status in other industries and strong financial backing. Only these overseas companies will give them some serious attention.

"How sure are you?" Guoqingshan said again.Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group has now become a banner of domestically-made aircraft, and it is also a political achievement he has single-handedly contributed to. Naturally, he hopes that it can continue to develop for a long time.

"I dare not say 100%, but I think there is still a [-]% certainty." Fang Mingyuan smiled, "At most, the design cost is more expensive. General Electric Aircraft Engine Company is still very happy to be able to give some stumbling blocks to its colleagues It can be said that among the three major engine companies in the world, cooperation and competition coexist, but competition will still dominate.

Guo Qingshan let out a long breath, 90% sure, this is already a very good result.And he also knows that Fang Mingyuan is not the kind of person who likes to talk and talk. He said that he is [-]% sure, so the actual situation will only be better.If the md[-] can successfully use the engines of the General Electric Aircraft Engine Company, it is undoubtedly another great achievement.

"I heard that Kowloon Airlines has cooperated with GE Financial Aviation Services?" Guo Qingshan said.

"Well, if you don't give General Electric some sweeteners, how can they be active." Fang Mingyuan said, "There is nothing bad about multiple procurement channels, and if there is an emergency, if you need to quickly expand the fleet, you won't be in a hurry .”

"How many orders from Airbus and Boeing are still outstanding for Kowloon Airlines?" Guo Qingshan asked casually.In 24, when Kowloon Airlines was established, the top executives of Airbus and Boeing went to congratulate in person, which made Guo Qingshan know that Fang Mingyuan not only ordered six large and medium-sized planes from Airbus and Boeing respectively. Aircraft, and an order for a total of 36 aircraft was placed.Up to now, Kowloon Airlines has also received [-] five new aircraft, and has formed a fleet of [-] seven passenger aircraft.

Fang Mingyuan looked at him for a while with a half-smile, and then said when Guoqingshan's face changed slightly: "In the next three or four years, if everything is normal, we will receive another forty or so." After that, he placed an additional order of [-] passenger planes to the two major aircraft manufacturing companies.

"Forty!" Guo Qingshan said in shock, "Why are there so many?"

Fang Mingyuan smiled, how many?In fact, if it is not too obtrusive, he plans to order a few more.Money is not a big problem for Fang Mingyuan. With the Second Gulf Bank and the two princes as guarantees, the loan is completely stress-free for him.But that will definitely attract the extra attention of many caring people.And Airbus and Boeing have doubts too.After all, this number of planes is too much for Kowloon Airlines. Even if it intends to develop rapidly, it is impossible to achieve this speed.

Moreover, the two major companies are not fools, and they can take advantage of it. After all, at that time, due to the "June [-] terrorist attack" in the United States, the global air transport industry fell into a trough. , but now, the world's air transport industry has seen a significant recovery, and I still need to rely on the two major companies for a lot of development in the future, and things can't be done absolutely.

Guo Qingshan hesitated for a moment and said: "Mingyuan, in such a short period of time, Kowloon Airlines has grown from nothing to a fleet of 36 and seven large and medium-sized airliners. Starting from the ground, the foundation is the most important! If the fleet expands rapidly, will your flight attendants and flight schedules keep up?"

Fang Mingyuan laughed, "Just tell me what you have to say. Is there a domestic airline that wants to expand its fleet?" The domestic aviation market is developing very fast, and the demand for aircraft is also very strong.But this plane always has to be manufactured one by one, and it is impossible to conjure it out of thin air.After the "June [-] terrorist attack", both Airbus and Boeing had large-scale downsizing and slowed down the speed of aircraft manufacturing. It is not possible to restore the peak production capacity in a short time. .Therefore, even if an order is placed with the two major companies, it often takes a long time to get the plane.Although it is possible to lease aircraft from aircraft leasing companies such as General Electric Financial Aviation Services during this period, but first, the global air transport industry is gradually recovering, the demand for aircraft is increasing day by day, and the leasing fee is also rising.Secondly, the advantages and disadvantages of leasing aircraft are different from benevolent to different, so some airlines prefer to purchase aircraft by themselves.

Guo Qingshan's old face flushed slightly, and he let out a sigh of relief. Fang Mingyuan pierced this layer of paper himself, which is better than avoiding talking about it. Even though he is the secretary of the dignified Huaxia Aerospace Industry Group Corporation, he can't force it. He touched Fang Mingyuan's head, asking him to talk to himself about this issue.

"China Airlines hopes that Kowloon Airlines can transfer Boeing's 747 aircraft orders within the past two years. They are willing to increase the market price by 5.00%." ​​Guo Qingshan said, "Of course, if Kowloon Airlines is willing to transfer the fleet Air China is willing to raise 747% for the transfer of the Boeing [-] aircraft in the mid-October [-]. The aircraft in the Kowloon Airlines fleet was first put into operation in mid-October [-], and it has only been in operation for two years. A little more, and arguably still at the peak of the aircraft's performance.

Fang Mingyuan fell silent, and Guoqingshan could only wait for his reply.

"For your sake, it's also for everyone's better cooperation in the future, yes." Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "However, I also have conditions."

Guo Qingshan was overjoyed, as long as Fang Mingyuan was willing to talk, it would be fine, but Fang Mingyuan would refuse without hesitation. (To be continued..)
