To be honest, Director Wang of the Ministry of Industry and Hu Lai has a good relationship and has a good impression of Phoenix Group. He is even a senior fan of Phoenix Products in private.

However, public is public, private is private.

When Mr. Yu from COMAC found him personally, considering that C919 is indeed related to the development of the entire Yanguo civil aircraft manufacturing industry, he finally took the lead and came to Phoenix Group to talk about Hu Lai's tone.

I had already thought of the opening remarks along the way, but after I really came to Phoenix Group and was warmly received by Hu Lai, Director Wang felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Director Wang quickly adjusted and sat opposite him in the office, with Professor Wu accompanying him.

After chatting for a few moments, the three of them casually started the topic by taking advantage of the tea time:

"Mr. Hu, I heard recently that you are working with COMAC Group?"

"Um?"

Hu Lai smiled slightly, but was a little surprised.

He was confused about Director Wang's sudden visit, but he didn't expect Director Wang to mention COMAC Group as soon as he spoke.

Is Director Wang’s trip for COMAC Group?

But... there is no problem with the cooperation between Phoenix and COMAC Group, and everything is progressing normally.

Various thoughts flashed through my mind, and Hu Lai couldn't figure out what Director Wang meant.

But he was not in a hurry, so he glanced at Professor Wu who was beside him and continued to follow Director Wang's words.

"Director Wang, we have indeed had some cooperation with COMAC recently."

"I just didn't expect that you would get the news so well-informed and you would get the news so quickly."

Director Wang laughed awkwardly and said:

"Haha, COMAC's C919 is our first domestically produced aircraft after all, and the whole country is paying attention to it."

"It's just about the time when the first batch is delivered, so we are naturally more sensitive to the related news, which is normal."

Hu Lai nodded with a smile.

As a domestic large aircraft, C919 is indeed well-known and every move has attracted the attention of the whole country.

"And not only are we paying attention, but now even the above are paying close attention to the situation of C919."

"This time, the country has concentrated its efforts on the whole country to develop the C919. In addition to developing our large aircraft C919, it is also the first time that the country has actively guided the general industry to transform into a 'high-end manufacturing industry'!"

"You are a businessman, you know that high-end manufacturing industries like the 'aircraft manufacturing industry' have very long upstream and downstream of the entire industrial chain, with very high additional output value, and many companies can be driven, which is similar to the traditional steel and coal industries.

It's not the same thing."

Hu Lai agrees with this point of view very much.

The aircraft manufacturing industry is indeed a high-end manufacturing industry. Strictly speaking, the upstream and downstream industrial chains are actually inferior to the aircraft manufacturing industry.

Even so, with Phoenix Group's "Tongtian Satellite", it quickly doubled the GDP of the entire mountain city in one quarter, allowing countless companies in the industrial chain to make a fortune and get orders.

If the upstream and downstream industrial chain can be connected with the C919 order, it will undoubtedly be a huge boost to the domestic high-end manufacturing industry. All enterprises in the industrial chain will receive development dividends, and at the same time, the income of all industrial workers will also receive large amounts of income.

Increased amplitude!

This is why every country wants to transform to high-end manufacturing.

All countries know that high-end manufacturing not only makes money at the top companies, but also all companies in the industrial chain will obtain huge additional output value!

For example, France!

France's welfare benefits are very good, but the reason why they support their welfare benefits is not because they have so many "Foxconn" and how much screw-making work they provide, but because they have mastered a lot of core high-end manufacturing technology.

For example, an Airbus A320 is priced at US$120 million, and Airbus can produce one or two hundred aircraft every year.

But the horror of high-end manufacturing is not how much money a plane can make.

Airbus' annual net profit over the years is only about 4 billion euros, which is not very awesome to talk about.

but!

There are as many as 4,500 suppliers around Airbus, with a total purchase amount of up to 60 billion euros per year!

In other words, these 4,500 Airbus supply chain companies can receive orders of 60 billion euros every year. How many jobs can be found and how much additional output value (profit) can be added to this 60 billion euros?!

This is the core of the real strength of high-end manufacturing industry!

Not only can the entire industrial chain make money, but it can also provide a lot of jobs, making countless industrial workers rich!

Thinking of this, Hu Lai remembered that many netizens on the Internet who angrily criticized that the domestic production rate of C919 is only 60%, and even the engine needs to be imported!

These netizens simply don’t understand the logic. Whether the localization rate of TM is 50% or 60%, wouldn’t it be enough to manufacture the large aircraft first and then slowly replace the parts in it?

It is now 60%. In one year, can't it increase to 70%, 80% in two years?!

Only with large aircraft as the support point can the domestic high-end manufacturing industry truly develop!

Now Yan Country's mid-range industry has done a good job, but it is very obvious that the proportion of high-end manufacturing is obviously not as good as that.

Now, the country is leading the way to upgrade high-end industries is undoubtedly a very correct way!

Not only was Professor Wu, but also nodded frequently.

Seeing the two of them agree with each other, Director Wang's expressions became more pleasant and his voice became more relaxed.

"So, the country is now very concerned about the market order issues of C919, especially foreign orders, and I hope to get more!"

"After all, this is an important attempt for us to fully impact the high-end manufacturing industry, and it is also a real impact on the core industries of Western countries!"

"In a sense, you can only succeed but not fail!"

Hu Lai narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he heard this, he gradually felt something was in his words.

To put it bluntly.

What does C919's order have to do with his Phoenix Group?!

What does Director Wang mean when he talks about these things?

It seemed as if he had seen Hu Lai's expression change, Director Wang no longer hid it. He first looked at Professor Wu, then looked at Hu Lai and said:

"I'm here this time. I mainly heard that you have provided several functions for COMAC Group, "Global Positioning System", "Cloud Black Box" and "High Speed-WIFI" right?"

Having said that, Hu Lai immediately understood everything.

The cooperation between Phoenix Group and COMAC is not only a top secret, but at least it is only something that the two companies know about.

Besides, Director Wang knew so clearly just after the test. It was obvious that COMAC Group took the initiative to tell Director Wang that this time Director Wang was obviously entrusted by COMAC Group.

After a while, Hu Lai had already guessed the purpose of Director Wang's arrival in his heart.

As expected.

Seeing that the preparation was almost the same, Director Wang showed up directly.

"Mr. Hu, to be honest, I came here this time and was entrusted by COMAC Group. I hope to ask if our Phoenix Group can use the several functions of its cooperation on the C919 for a period of time."

"Commercedes' requirements are not too high. These functions are exclusively used by C919 within one year."

After saying this, Director Wang's face was also embarrassed, and he coughed lightly and continued:

"Of course, COMAC Group has also considered some compensation plans. Not only will the next aircraft order be equipped with several functions of our Phoenix Group after leaving the factory..."

"And, COMAC will pay an additional 50 million yuan in exclusive usage fees during this year's exclusive time."

Exclusive for one year?

Hu looked at Director Wang's slightly awkward face and smiled bitterly.

COMAC Group has taken great pains to do!

According to Hu Lai's expectations, the usage rate of "Tongtian Satellite" is very low now, and it is just right for these functions to greatly increase the usage rate of "Tongtian Satellite" to make some profits.

In this way, these functions must be promoted to all aircraft manufacturers and airlines around the world.

As for the additional 50 million yuan of exclusive use fees paid by COMAC Group...

According to the expected selling price, even if an aircraft charges $500,000 a year, the order amount of just 20 aircraft this year will reach $10 million, which will exceed $50 million if converted.

!

really.

C919 is an important "high-end manufacturing upgrade", but Phoenix Group's "Tongtian Satellite" is also made with real money, which is obviously not in line with the interests of Phoenix Group.

The most important thing is.

Phoenix Group can indeed help this, but it is obvious that COMAC Group does not give enough sincerity.

After thinking for a while, Hu Lai shook his head.

"Director Wang, it's not to be hiding that our "Tongtian Satellite" costs billions. At present, we also hope to expand commercial uses as much as possible to earn back the cost."

"Fifty million... We may not be able to agree to the request you made."

"What about sixty million..."

Hu Lai still shook his head.

"Eighty million..."
