Chapter 370 Don’t You Want To Get More Aircraft Orders?(1/2)
Chapter 370 Don’t you want to win more aircraft orders
On the other side.
Director Wang, who had just returned to the capital, immediately contacted Mr. Yu of COMAC Group, who was still waiting for news in the capital.
When Director Wang told the meeting, President Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Mr. Yu knew that his request was a bit too much. If he had come from the perspective of Phoenix Group, he would definitely not agree to the exclusive fee of 50 million yuan.
But even though that is the case, Mr. Yu is obviously still a little unwilling to accept it.
"Director Wang, is there nothing missing in Phoenix Group?"
"As long as they have a need, we can find a way to help!"
In desperation, President Yu regretted it as soon as he said it. Director Wang, who was beside him, also shook his head with a wry smile.
Just kidding, with the current scale of Phoenix Group and its popularity across the country, there is really nothing to lack.
When it comes to local policies, the current Phoenix Group is a popular bun for ZF in all localities. The leaders are asking Phoenix Group to invest and build factories. What policies can they not be needed?
And advertising...
Sorry, Phoenix Group has its own traffic, and it really doesn’t lack reputation and exposure!
If you really want Phoenix Group to agree to COMAC’s request, there is only one way.
That is to force the pressure on Phoenix Group, forcing Phoenix Group to bow its head and agree!
But this idea came to Mr. Yu's mind just a second and he immediately pushed it back.
Good guy.
Now Phoenix Group has registered in the senior management, and even Chief Li has specially approved to pay attention to the situation of Phoenix Group at any time and solve the difficulties they encounter immediately. At this time, he uses his relationship to give Phoenix Group eye medicine?!
Tsk tsk tsk, that's really impatient to live.
And let alone far away, once you come up with this idea, Director Wang in front of you will be able to turn against him immediately!
After sighing helplessly, Mr. Yu felt a little exhausted.
Now, the C919 is about to be launched on the market for the first time, and the attention is extremely high. If several features of Phoenix Group can be released exclusively, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the global attractiveness of the product.
But...
Why!
Director Wang, who was standing beside him, looked at Mr. Yu with a worried look and felt a little embarrassed. After all, the matter was not done, so he had to persuade him:
"Lao Yu, Phoenix Group is like this in advance. We will find a way to see if we can negotiate or not."
"At present, our top priority for COMAC is to first focus on obtaining a European airworthiness certificate. We have too few overseas orders now."
When Mr. Yu heard that he had obtained a European airworthiness certificate, he frowned even deeper.
...
Although Phoenix Group and COMAC experienced a small episode, this was just a test between senior management, and the cooperation between engineer Sun Kai and COMAC Group in engineering testing was not affected in any way.
After the test was completed, the satellite department optimized many details with the assistance of COMAC. After confirming that it was correct, the two sides immediately officially announced the cooperation on the official website.
At the same time, the "Tongtian Satellite Flight Communication System" function has been updated on the official website of Phoenix Group, officially providing this service to all outside aircraft manufacturers and airlines.
As soon as the news came out, the domestic response was fine, and only a few business people and international students who often fly abroad were discussing on the Internet.
After the news released by Phoenix Group through Titok (Overseas TikTok) spread abroad, it immediately caused fierce discussion on foreign networks.
"Airplane high-speed - WIFI?! The average network speed can reach 300M/S! Is this true? This is so awesome! I am really fed up with the speed of slow-to-snail on the plane!"
"666666! This is definitely the best news I have heard recently. In the future, international flights will not fall asleep. You can watch a few movies well!"
"Tsk, did I only notice the 'cloud black box' and 'global positioning function'? These two functions are also very important to airlines, right?"
"That's something that airlines care about. I have to say that Phoenix Group has refreshed my impression of Yanguo enterprises. Their innovative technology research and development is very fast..."
"That's right, I originally thought Mask's starlink would want to be used on the plane, but I didn't expect that it would be led by Phoenix Group's 'Tongtian Satellite'!"
There was a fierce discussion on the external network, and Airbus, located in Paris, also noticed the news released by Phoenix Group at the first time.
They are not very concerned about Phoenix Group, but because the release of C919 is approaching, and every move of C919 is under the attention of Airbus.
Soon, a small internal meeting was held at Airbus' top management.
"Today, there is only one thing that everyone has convened to hold a meeting. Everyone should have seen a new function just released by the Yanguo C919 aircraft, right?"
"They cooperated with Phoenix Group, a famous technology company in Yanguo, and successfully developed several functions such as "Global Positioning System", "Cloud Black Box" and "Aircraft High Speed-WiFI".
"Phoenix Group has also announced that they will provide these functional services to global airlines and aircraft manufacturers. Do you think it is necessary for us to understand the functions they have developed?"
The person who spoke was a white man named Pierce, who was one of Airbus' vice presidents, specializing in aircraft research and development projects.
Because Airbus also has manufacturing factories in Yanguo and Pierce often travels to Yanguo, he is also familiar with Phoenix Group.
The meeting was held immediately after receiving the news of the cooperation between Phoenix Group and COMAC.
"Pearce, I don't think we have to be too anxious."
"They just developed these functions. The specific situation and actual usage effect are not clear. We still want to see it."
"After all, as long as the functions and hardware of the plane are on board, they require absolute safety and require countless verifications..."
As soon as Pierce finished speaking, a man in a black suit shook his head and said, "his name is Nig, an executive in charge of plane safety."
"No, Nig, I don't agree with your idea."
The meeting caused heated discussion at the beginning.
Before Vice President Pierce could speak, another executive stood up to refute Nig.
"We have been in contact with the team of Yanguo C919 many times, and they are very rigorous!"
"And their C919 will be launched on the market soon. If these functions are not mature and they are not sure, they will never risk launching them."
"The people of Yan Guo definitely attach more importance to the C919 aircraft than you imagine. Even if they are only 1% of the risk, they will never take risks!"
"I agree with Xiao Hei's statement, too."
Another senior manager stood up.
"Although I have not been in contact with the C919 team, based on my long-term understanding of Phoenix Group, they are very strict in checking the products and services they launch."
"If commercial conditions are not met, they will never release them easily. Since they have cooperated with C919, they have obviously solved all problems."
"And everyone has to consider another issue..."
"They launched three functions, 'Global Positioning' and 'Cloud Black Box', can improve the safety of our aircraft, but undoubtedly 'High-speed WIFI' is a feature that modern flights are particularly needed, and it is definitely the best improvement for airlines.
The way to attendance."
“Who can refuse to work online on the plane?”
Seeing that everyone in the conference room nodded frequently, the executive continued:
"The most important thing is that the C919 now uses several functions of the Phoenix Group. The C919 currently poses little threat to us, but what if Boeing also purchases it?"
"If Boeing was the first to use their international flight 747, it would undoubtedly be a huge threat to us."
"We will inevitably be under pressure from countless airlines around the world, so I think we can get in touch and see what the specific performance and situation are like!"
This executive is well-founded and has a certain prestige in senior management.
After the call was finished, everyone agreed. Even Nig, who had a hesitant attitude, shrugged, as if he had accepted the proposal.
Even if the matter was confirmed in just a few words, Vice President Pierce was about to personally connect with Phoenix Group.
...
Similarly, Boeing also got the news when discussing within Airbus.
However, unlike Airbus' vigorous and always paying attention to its competitors, Boeing seems a bit confusing.
Boeing actually has a lot of business, one is aircraft manufacturing business, the other is rocket launch mission and spacecraft manufacturing mission.
When Boeing's aircraft business was grounded due to the MAX737 and a large number of airlines canceled orders, the focus of Boeing's senior management shifted to NASA's "return to the moon" SLS rocket production orders.
But it was raining all the time. I originally expected the SLS Rocket to get back to blood, but I didn't expect that the SLS Rockets also had problems and repeatedly postponed their launch.
Not only did Airbus snatch 70% of the original aircraft business, but even the Rockets business has problems, and Boeing is in a mess.
so.
When the news reached Boeing's senior management, Boeing did not even hold a meeting for it, but only mentioned this at the end of the meeting.
"The situation in our aircraft department... Several suppliers such as 'Aute Steel' and 'Chuanqi Heavy Industry' have expressed their hope that we can settle the payment for last year."
"Out Steel has warned us that if the fees are not settled before the end of this month, the supply of materials will be stopped next month."
"That's what the debt is, Mr. David."
The person who spoke was Leo, the head of Boeing aircraft department.
When Leo mentioned that the supplier was urging the debt, everyone present looked a little ugly, and Boeing CEO Mr. David looked even more unhappy.
"Leo, you can handle these things yourself, and you won't have to come up with them specifically at the meeting in the future."
