Chapter 1602 Killing the American Aviation Industry (third update, please subscribe)
At the beginning of the new year, the news that Borneo Airlines will build a free airport in the Middle East has spread.
It immediately attracted the attention of the capital industry. Although many people were not optimistic about such large-scale investment, they still participated.
After all, Borneo Airlines has a father behind it.
However, unlike others, after seeing the airline's investment decision in Li Yi'an's newspaper, he immediately praised it.
"This is a very good investment."
Hearing the words, Zhang Zeyuan said:
"Your Excellency, are you optimistic about this investment?"
< br>"Maybe the early explosion rate is not very significant, but in the long run, it is still very appropriate to set up such an aviation hub in that place."
Although he doesn't know much about the air transportation industry, Li Yian has long heard of another world-famous Dubai.
What is the internet celebrity city in Dubai relying on?
Is it just to use its geographical advantage to become an aviation hub and then build yourself into an internet celebrity city?
What was the impression Dubai had on people for a long time?
I am a rich man.
It is wealth, it is luxury!
So many rich people forget to own industries in Dubai as a fashion. For the so-called internet celebrities, visiting Dubai is also regarded as fashion.
When a place is linked to wealth and luxury, fashion and fashion, then that place will surely become the forefront of fashion.
"After all, there is a need for such a transit station between Eurasia. Such a transit station is worse than being in other countries."
Li Yian Think about it for a while, and then said:
"And this will also help us further develop in the future! After all, there are deserts everywhere, and only with the right industry can we further develop."
Of course, as long as the population increases, When the 1999-year lease expires, the local government can also decide on future ownership through the so-called "referendum".
Li Yian never thought of spitting out these fat meats that he had finally eaten.
One of the most important reasons why I haven’t spent much energy there in recent years is population!
This kind of population does not mean that tens of thousands of people have been directly moved. Why can those people migrate to the desert to eat sand?
If people want to live there willingly, they must have a suitable industry.
Build the local area into another Dubai.
It's also a good choice.
But it is still too early, because if you want to build a new Dubai, you need not only an aviation hub, but also a global infrastructure in the Internet, satellite communications and other aspects.
This is also the fundamental reason why the world became a global village later, that is, no matter where the rich people are. All can work anytime, anywhere.
Until all this takes shape, the rich people usually don’t leave their base camp easily.
"When you say that, this project seems to be very promising."
Thinking for a while, Zhang Zeyuan said: "If this happens, I can buy them with confidence and release them with confidence." "
"Just invest with confidence."
Li Yian said with a smile.
"This investment is definitely not a short-term, its return process is a long-term one. Well, maybe it will take 20 years to truly mature there. Of course, 20 years of bond investment is just the beginning. Well."
Then Li Yian and he briefly talked to him about the future planning direction of the city. Listening to your description, Zhang Zeyuan said.
"Next, if the city really develops in that direction as you said, will it have an impact on local commerce when it becomes a shopping center between Eurasia?"< br>
The reason why Zhang Zeyuan said this is because to a certain extent. Now Chang'an and Kuching have become shopping malls in Asia, attracting millions of people to come there to spend money every year.
"No, they are targeting different services."
Li Yian shook his head and said.
"The customers there will be attracted mainly from the Middle East and Europe in the future. For European tourists, Southeast Asia is too far away. Compared with the cold Paris and London,
Exotic cities are more likely to attract them. They will spend the winter and consume locally. Only a few of them will come to Asia to consume. "
After thinking for a while, Li Yian added: br>
"After all, the flight of more than ten hours is there. Unless one day supersonic passenger planes can be fully popularized, it is a bit too far for European guests."
Let's listen to your Excellency When talking about the supersonic sonic plane, Zhang Zeyuan tried to say. "Your Excellency, Lin Kangwei of Aviation Industry Corporation has always hoped to report to you in person some of the company's ongoing projects. Do you think you want to meet?"
"Aviation Industry Corporation... ”
Thinking for a while, Li Yian said:
"You can arrange your time. In the past two days, I just happened to have something to communicate with him."
The next afternoon, in the study of the official residence, Li Yian looked through a report, and the report was It is a new generation of jet passenger aircraft.
"The current market in the aviation field is far beyond the imagination of all experts."
Lin Kangwei, as the manager of Borneo Aviation Industry Corporation, reported when you reviewed the report:
"Twenty years after the end of the war, the consequences of the post-World War II fertility wave were obvious: it seemed that young people were everywhere in Europe.
Taking France as an example, young people around 20 years old once accounted for 16% of the national population. The proportion in the UK and Germany is about 14%.
It can be said that Europe is young and full of vitality now.
After the Marshall Plan, the European economy recovered in an all-round way and the economy grew rapidly. Young people were keen to fly to the distant places to enjoy the holidays.
The planes they are on are either made by us. Made in the United States. The aviation industry in European countries seems to be fragmented. They neither have the strong aviation industry foundations of us and the Americans, and have sufficient funds, which has led to the European aviation manufacturing industry being extremely backward. ”
After nearly 20 years of development, Sea Aviation Industry has left the entire Europe far behind. Even if we put aside the military aviation market, in terms of the civil aviation market, the competitors that Aviation Industry Corporation targets have always been Boeing.
Even Douglas is not regarded as a competitor by Aviation Industries.
This is why I have a little contempt for the European aviation manufacturing industry in my tone.
Lin Kangwei continued to emphasize:
"And this also determines that Europe will be one of the most important markets in our future. But now we are facing unprecedented challenges in this market." br>
"Are you talking about the Boeing 447?"
It can be seen from the report that this 447 is another world-famous Boeing 747. "Yes, your Excellency." Lin Kangwei said.
"After Boeing launched the B447 program across the ocean, it was the time for us to face a crisis: it was a plane that could carry twice the number of passengers in the c707, and could also perform intercontinental services. Sailing.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Compared with the increasing demand for civil aviation transportation, the transportation capacity of c707 has shown insufficient; compared with the narrow layout of Union 3+3, its 3+4+3 layout seems very broad; the huge transportation capacity makes it possible for the Its operating costs will be much lower than that of the c707; and it can also be converted into a freighter to achieve "both passengers and cargo blossoms".
Your Excellency, according to the next research progress, Boeing may be delivered to use from the end of the year to next year.
At that time we will face unprecedented challenges. ”
”So you launched the 727 plan, right? ”
Close the report and Li Yian said: "The company also wants to develop a large aircraft of similarity to compete with it." "Yes, your Excellency, just like the 707 and Like the 407, they are two highly similar and competitive aircraft. If we want to occupy the market, we must have aircraft of the same type as Boeing.
So, I think it is necessary for us to advance this project." >
Then, Lin Kangwei specifically emphasized:
"And we have communicated with many airlines such as Borneo Airlines, Pan Asia Airlines and Pacific Airlines. They are interested in large passenger planes.
And British Overseas Airlines are also very interested. I believe His sales in the future will not be less than 400 aircraft."
When Lin Kangwei described the large passenger aircraft in the future market, Li Yian remained silent.
Compared with the huge market they saw. What Li Yian thought of was the failure of a380.
a380 is the largest aircraft in the world and is the magic weapon that Airbus is eager to compete with Boeing's 747.
When he flew into the sky, Airbus was excited, and they believed that a380 was the future.
From an engineering perspective, the a380 is definitely an industrial masterpiece. After his birth, he was once the face of airlines around the world.
However, this top flagship aircraft, which symbolizes Airbus' strength, came to an end 15 years after its first flight.
The launch and ultimately died young were entirely due to Airbus' misjudgment of the market and air transportation model.
Thinking of the failure of a380, Li Yian thought for a while and said:
"Of course, theoretically, we do need an aircraft that can challenge Boeing in the United States. "You can, I can, and I can, and it can be better." "This is a way to show the company's strength. But..."
Lin Kangwei's heart was a mess.
At this time, he heard your Excellency continue.
"We must also see that the world's civil aviation market has a limited demand for such large aircraft.
We will definitely be with Boeing if we make such an aircraft. There is fierce competition in the market. In this case, our profit margin may also be affected."
In fact, it is not just profit that will be affected, it will inevitably affect the relationship with the United States.
In fact, since Boeing launched their jet aircraft, competition between the two companies has become increasingly fierce.
Although the United States uses aid to sell Boeing's planes all over the world, the market competition between the two companies is becoming increasingly fierce.
When it comes to the competition between the two companies, Li Yian was a little proud of his words.
After all, Borneo Aviation Industry Corporation was made by him, and he chose the jet as a breakthrough point for overtaking on the curve.
Now the facts prove that his choice was so correct.
Then the first-mover advantage on jet passenger planes, Borneo Aviation Industry Corporation has become the second largest civil aviation manufacturer in the world.
Of every ten jet aircraft sold in the world, 3.5 are C-series aircraft, while Boeing has 4.
How can such a brilliant achievement not be proud of?
But while being proud, Li Yian also saw a hidden danger.
"America!" Li Yian said in a stronger tone.
"We must consider the role that the United States plays in future market competition. As for the current competition between us and Boeing, we have seriously threatened Boeing's survival.
In order to attack us, the United States will definitely take some corresponding actions. After all, they have always been invincible on the road of not doing human affairs.
So, we must take this factor into consideration. ”
