Chapter 33 Ridiculous! Why can you, Daxia, build purely domestically produced passenger aircraft?
"You want to cancel the cooperation framework previously agreed on the COMAC919 project?"
Charles Borden repeated this sentence in disbelief: "Our LEAP-X engines are no longer needed as an integrated propulsion system?"
He originally thought that this was a negotiation on Daxia's side to urge the development progress of the LEAP-X project.
Who would have thought that Xu Qianren would flip the table and announce: The cooperation is cancelled, I won't play with you anymore!
What kind of negotiation is this? Charles Borden felt that this was more like a verdict.
If he returns to CFM's headquarters with this result, he will be sentenced to 'life imprisonment' on the spot and directly thrown into the cold palace and will never be used again.
"Yes, you can understand it that way." Xu Qianren responded nonchalantly with an indifferent expression on his face.
"Xu, I can assure you." A trace of determination flashed in Charles Borden's eyes: "Our CFM company will develop the LEAP-X engine as quickly as possible. As long as our cooperation continues, the contract will be signed as usual."
He also thought that COMAC was using the classic negotiation method "maximum pressure strategy" and would not bargain with you at all. As long as CFM did not accept the accelerated research and development progress, COMAC would directly cancel the cooperation.
Charles Borden had to admit that he definitely couldn’t withstand this method!
There is absolutely no room for failure in the COMAC919 project. The headquarters attaches great importance to it. He, the regional leader, cannot afford to take this responsibility.
However.
Faced with this little trick he played, Xu Qianren shook his head decisively: "Mr. Boden, you must know that this is not a negotiation."
"It's a notification that the cooperation is cancelled."
Could he not know what this Charles Borden was thinking?
Even if COMAC agrees to the request to continue cooperation, will CFM really speed up the progress?
Don't say this is just a verbal promise, so what if you actually sign a contract? Will they really keep their promises?
This is simply a joke. Do you expect a group of pirates and barbarians to trust you?
When Western society talks about credit, it means that it is in a strong position. Once Western society falls into a weak position, the so-called credit will be like a piece of waste paper to them.
Capital always has only profits but no credit at all.
Xu Qianren and Daxia as a whole have experienced this more than once or twice in the past few decades.
"Who asked you to cooperate? Why did you suddenly cancel the cooperation?" Charles Borden looked gloomy:
"Have they given you better conditions for commercial aviation? We at CFM can also provide the same conditions. We are the number one in the field of commercial aviation engines."
Several names of aviation giants flashed through his mind, the first being Pratt & Whitney of Eagle Sauce, IAE International Aircraft Engine Alliance, or RR Royce of Great Britain. (It was the same company as Rolls-Royce before, so the icons are all RR.)
As for the remaining EA Engine Alliance companies, Boden thinks it is unlikely.
After all, GE General Electric not only occupies 50% of the shares of EA Engine Alliance, but also 50% of CFM.
"Mr. Borden, this is none of what you said."
Xu Qianren still looked calm: "This time, we in Daxia will develop our own integrated propulsion engine system and build a 100% domestically produced civil aviation aircraft."
He made no secret of this. How many aero-engine giants around the world are staring at COMAC's C919 project? Even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it. You don't choose any company, the only possibility is self-research.
"COMAC wants to develop its own engine system? Does it also want to independently design and build 100% domestically produced civil aviation aircraft?" Charles Borden's eyes widened, and questions were written all over his face.
"Xu, the difficulty here is not as simple as you think. I think you can reconsider the terms of cooperation."
There was not only shock in his tone, but also a strong sense of ridicule and suspicion.
Just say this: 'Why do you think you can independently build 100% domestically produced civil aviation aircraft? ’
You must know that most of the world's real aviation giants cannot escape GE and Pratt & Whitney, including aircraft such as F22, F35, B-2, etc. Their engines are all from General Electric or Pratt & Whitney. Pratt & Whitney.
In his opinion, the most advanced J-10 fighters in Daxia today all use Lao Maozi's AL-31FN engine. Why do you think you can develop a commercial aviation engine with higher requirements?
A smile appeared on Xu Qianren's face: "You don't need your CFM company to worry about this." "Then I'll wait for the day when your COMAC successfully test-flights the C919." Charles Borden squinted his eyes Looking at Xu Qianren, he even said this sentence in his awkward Chinese.
"I hope you won't keep me waiting too long, let's go!" He grabbed the translator and an accompanying meeting recorder, slammed the door and left.
Daxia COMAC, which was established less than two years ago, actually wants to make 100% domestically produced civil aviation aircraft.
How dare you have such confidence? How could you possibly make this decision?
CFM International Engine Company has never encountered such an outrageous thing since it became a global commercial aviation engine giant.
"Then just wait and see." Xu Qianren stared at the retreating figure.
Once COMAC solves the most difficult BOSS of super large civil aviation aircraft, won’t other small and medium-sized civil aviation aircraft be easily captured?
By then, let alone engine companies like CFM, even Boeing and Airbus will lose their market share.
With Daxia's absolute price advantage, he believes that most civil aviation companies in the world have zero resistance.
Let’s see if they can still sit still when the time comes? Even Yingjiang may have to end.
A few hours later.
On the other side of the ocean, LLNL laboratory staff dormitories.
Although it was already late at night in Daxia, California, whose time zone was fifteen hours behind Daxia, was only eight o'clock in the morning.
After Lu Ze finished washing, he wiped the water drops on his face.
He glanced at the light screen information on his eyeballs.
[Achievement points: 8500 points. 】
【System space inventory:.】
[Number of copies: 1. 】(Refreshed every Monday.)
A smile appeared on his lips: "Finally it's my favorite Monday again, and the number of copies has been refreshed."
We are just a little short of reaching 10,000 achievement points. This week, copying another high-tech item will enable you to participate in the blue lottery.
"There are still eight copies left to unlock the purple lottery." Lu Ze muttered.
He speculated that once higher levels of lottery are unlocked, the system will have more functions.
"Lucy told me yesterday that it will take two or three weeks for the next batch of weapons and equipment to be put into storage"
Lu Ze frowned and kept thinking about the best solution: "Go to the maintenance center first to see if there is anything worth copying."
Regarding the treasure trove of the maintenance center, he feels that more exploration should be done.
As for the top technological items in the laboratory, there is still no good way to access them.
Although Lu Ze currently has a preliminary plan on how to make himself appear mediocre in order to make the LLNL laboratory relax its vigilance against him, he can gain access to some high-level technological items as soon as possible, but he must prevent himself from being deeply involved.
After all, if he joins Yingjiang's core project, will Lu Ze still plan to return to China?
When the time comes that he wants to return to China, he is afraid that he will be shot eight times in the back of his home the next day, and Ying Jiang will be declared dead accidentally due to pneumonia infection.
Lu Ze looked at the time, it was exactly eight in the morning: "Go to the cafeteria to have breakfast first, don't miss it."
"You have to call Lucy. It's so expensive to eat out."
This is the free wool of capitalism. As long as he and Lucy eat less, it is not a loss of profits, but a loss of blood.
All this money will be turned into weapons and bullets and hit third world countries around the world. If he doesn't eat more, how can Lu Ze avenge their shame?
He must take revenge and attack Ying Jiang's arrogance.
