Beijing, COMAC Group.

At this time, it was no longer the person in charge of COMAC, Mr. Yu, who was in charge of this matter in person, but the special guidance team sent by the above.

“Has General Motors responded again?”

The person who asked about the question was Bai Song, the person in charge of the special guidance group, sitting directly above.

"I just replied, and they made it clear that they would abide by Ami's laws and would not provide us with LEAP-1C engines."

Bai Song pushed the glasses frame, but his expression did not change at all. Obviously, he was not surprised by this result.

He looked up at his serious assistant and asked:

"What about the liquidated damages clauses they signed with us?"

"They acknowledge the breach of contract and are willing to pay the penalty, but...they responded this time with very bad news."

"They directly rejected the three-month buffer execution period we proposed. Obviously, there is no turning point in this matter here at GE."

Bai Song fell into silence.

After a while, he slowly said:

"Where is Rolls-RR and Pratt & Whitney (PW), still no response?"

The assistant looked solemn and nodded.

call--!

Bai Song took a deep breath, and his expression became a little solemn for the first time.

COMAC's situation is in a dead end.

In fact, two or three months ago, COMAC Group received an early warning from the Security Bureau.

However, even though they immediately started contacting other aircraft engine suppliers, such as the RR of Dayong and the PW of Maple Leaf Country, there was no substantial progress.

Now GE has terminated delivery, completely putting the C919 in a desperate situation of lacking an aircraft engine.

Thinking of this, he pinched his eyebrows heavily and looked at the C919 aircraft model on the desk.

Unexpectedly, C919 finally came to this point.

Does Yanguo official know that aircraft engines may be restricted by Ami?

Of course I know.

However, according to the original plan, C919 was mainly aimed at the domestic airline market in the first few years.

The original idea was to first be launched in China for five or six years, and after the model performance and operation experience were sufficient in all aspects, it would be launched into overseas markets.

At that time, the domestically produced "Yangtze River 1000 engine" was also produced, so there was no situation where aircraft engines were choked. Didn't this large aircraft industry develop slowly?

But man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation.

Phoenix Group's "aircraft satellite communication system" and Boeing 737-Max's own problems gave the C919 a godsend opportunity.

A large number of orders are in front of you, and it is an excellent opportunity to enter the overseas market. Who can sit still?!

Bai Song shook his head secretly in his heart, no one would refuse.

If you have to say that Yan State made any mistakes in this matter, it is still a lucky mentality.

In other words, America's determination to restrict the country of Yan was greatly underestimated.

However, nothing is useful to say at this point.

He sighed, slowly calmed down and looked at his assistant.

"Xiao Li, how are the overseas airlines going on? Can they keep it stable?"

The assistant looked ugly and shook his head and said:

"Several airlines that have good relations with our country have not yet made any statements."

"However, Turkish Airlines, Pan American Airlines, Qantas and many other pro-American airlines have officially launched commercial liquidated damages for us."

"And... the public opinion on the overseas Internet is fermenting very well, and the entire network is about us unfavorable news."

"If we do not solve the engine problem as soon as possible, the development of COMAC Group will be difficult to estimate in the future, and it will even affect the development of our entire large aircraft industry."

"We want to solve the problem of the C919 engine now, and the only way we may be to negotiate with Amei..."

Peace talks?

Bai Song frowned and was about to speak.

But at this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Just a glance at the call number, Bai Song's face suddenly became extremely serious.

After briefly answering the phone, he said in a hurry:

"Xiao Li, let's go back soon!"

"Just just now, Chief Li called in person and asked us to go over and report the situation to the leaders immediately!"

Um?

For a moment, the assistant was stunned on the spot, but soon reacted and quickly turned around and prepared to go to the car.

About half an hour later, Bai Song came to a heavily guarded place.

As soon as he entered the room, he immediately felt the atmosphere in the room was solemn, and several leaders were whispering something.

See him come in.

Chief Li greeted him briefly and then handed Bai Song a new document.

"Bai Song, please take a look at the latest information first."

Bai Song was inevitably a little nervous when facing many leaders. He quickly took it over and read it carefully. Before he finished reading it, he was shocked.

A thin document is a latest report that has caused strong discussion in foreign media!

"The State Advances and the People's Retreats - Phoenix Group, a well-known private enterprise in Yanguo, is about to be a state-owned enterprise!"

Bai Song's pupils suddenly contracted, this...

Before he could say more, Chief Li said quietly:

“Fake news.”

"This is the opponent's start to engage in a public opinion war and start to bewitch our morale!"

Bai Song immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and nodded.

Chief Li continued:

"Although we don't know the intention behind spreading this fake news for the time being, this news is obviously very unfavorable to us."

"So, today we want to find you some information about the latest situation of the C919 engine."

Bai Song didn't dare to delay, so he sorted out his language and quickly reported the latest situation of C919.

At this time, all the leaders in the conference room stopped discussing and looked at Bai Song with all their attention. After hearing that companies such as GE and RR completely rejected the possibility of cooperation, all the leaders present frowned.

At the end, Bai Song's expression also became solemn.

"Dear leaders, now there is almost no possibility of obtaining advanced aircraft engines through normal commercial channels. All we can do now is the last two last resorts."

Everyone in the conference room looked at Bai Song.

"The first method is to purchase a big PD-14 engine."

"However, their PD-14 engines are much worse than mature commercial engines. Once the C919 uses the PD-14 engine, our aircraft performance, fuel economy, and product competitiveness will be greatly reduced!"

"This is also the last method among all our plans, the last method to be forced to do it!"

Everyone frowned.

After a moment, Chief Li asked:

"Have Damao asked? What did you say?"

"We contacted us two days ago, but their attitude was not positive. They replied that the production capacity was insufficient and might not meet our needs."

"What about the actual situation? Have you ever understood it? It's really not enough production capacity?"

Bai Song shook her head.

"They objectively have insufficient production capacity, but they can completely expand production in a short period of time..."

"The reason they said this is likely to be 'retreating to advance'. In order to get more benefits from us, based on the latest situation we have, they should want to invest in COMAC."

"Their current idea is to be 40% stake."

40% shares!

As soon as these words came out, the room immediately started to talk, and a leader slapped the table.

"Impossible. Just one engine will take away 40% of the shares. It is absolutely impossible! And it is an engine with backward performance!"

"When COMAC was founded, they invited them to work together, but they refused. Now, seeing COMAC open up the international market and want to get a bargain, it is impossible."
To be continued...
