The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

In fact, Hu Lai considered the production of heavy rockets very early.

After purchasing the "ultra-high-power giant phased array antenna communication satellite" from the domestic product Zhiguang system, which is now the original satellite technology of the "Tongtian satellite", it was considered that a heavy rocket was needed.

But later, because the "ultra-high-power phased array communication satellite" was too big, it was finally turned into a reduced version of the "Tongtian satellite". To match it, only the medium-sized launch vehicle "Fufeng" with a load of about 8 tons was purchased from the system. number one".

At this moment, with the substantial increase in satellite launch missions, the need to reduce launch costs and use multi-satellite technology is becoming more and more urgent. The need to develop a high-thrust heavy-duty launch vehicle is once again in front of us.

but.

Although there is a need, Hu Lai is still hesitant. Deep down in his heart, he doesn't want to waste too many system points on heavy launch vehicles.

The point acquisition rule in the domestic product system is that the corresponding points can only be obtained after the customer purchases the finished products produced by the Phoenix Group, such as mobile phones, computers, lithography machines, and so on.

Such independent research and development of heavy rockets cannot earn points for self-use.

And even for external commercial launches, the global commercial market demand for heavy-duty rockets is not large. How many customers in the world need heavy-duty rocket launches?
It can't be launched once or twice a year at all.

When you think about it carefully, spending more than 1 million system credits to buy heavy launch vehicle technology is not worth it.

We must know that the current system points are very valuable, and the points obtained will show obvious attenuation as the market share of various products expands.

So after some consideration, Hu Lai gave up buying the heavy-duty launch vehicle technology directly in the system. The current medium-sized rocket "Fufeng-[-]" should be used. The more expensive the launch cost, the more expensive it will be.

but.

Although Hu Lai gave up using system credits to directly purchase heavy-duty rocket technology, he still paid attention to reducing the cost of satellite launches.

In the future, the Phoenix Group will definitely have more and more space missions, and more and more launch vehicles will be used. Therefore, it is very necessary to get a high-thrust launch vehicle and break through the reusable rocket technology.

Fortunately, Mask's SpeacX company has shown the world the way to reduce the cost of rockets, and the Phoenix Group now only needs to cross the river by touching SpeacX.

One is to increase the thrust of the rocket;

The one-rocket multi-satellite technology "zero-degree space" already has technical reserves, the only thing is that the research and development of high-thrust rockets and the reuse of rockets still need to increase investment.

After thinking about these things clearly, Hu Lai made a decision in his heart.

"Heavy Launch Vehicle" and "Rocket Recovery Technology" are important but not urgent technologies, and there is no need to waste a lot of points.

Since SpeceX can do it, then Phoenix Group can do it too, it's nothing more than burning money.

The current Phoenix Group has the financial support of a big dog and can afford to burn money.

Then Hu took a look at the amount of financing obtained by SpercX within one year this year, and compared it with the financing obtained by many domestic rocket companies, he was silent.

SpeacX raised $25 billion in one year!

However, domestic commercial rocket companies are better at [-] to [-] million RMB, and some even have only tens of millions of RMB in financing! …

What can this little money do in the aerospace field? !
In the field of aerospace, after all, it is still money. It is a dream to catch up with SpeacX with this capital investment!

Hu Lai thought for a long time, and then called director Zhang and Feng Rong.

Factory Manager Zhang is in charge of various long-term affairs, similar to the duties of a general manager.

Feng Rong, on the other hand, is very clear about the investment in the entire rocket industry. It must be very difficult for the Phoenix Group to catch up with SpeacX in commercial rocket research and development. The only way is to increase investment and find ways to recruit top rocket engineers from all over the world.

As soon as the two entered the door, they talked about their thoughts.

"Old Zhang, I'm going to really pay attention to the 'Zero Space' rocket department and invest tens of billions to start Phoenix Group's commercial rocket 'Ten Billion Plan'."

"We don't say that we can compete with SpeacX for global customers, but at least we can greatly reduce the launch cost of our own rockets!"

Ten billion plan? !
Before Lao Zhang and Zhang could react, Hu Lai looked at Feng Rong.

"Old Feng, although we have increased our research and development investment in 'Zero Space' before, it is obviously not enough. The scientific research strength of 'Zero Space' is still weak."

"The next step is to trouble you to screen out all the well-known 'rocket companies' in the world, no matter what method is used, whether it is to buy their companies or poach their rocket engineers, in short, I hope to quickly establish a world-class 'rocket department' '!"

"It's still the same sentence, money is not a problem!"

Now Director Zhang and Feng Rong were stunned.

"Boss, are we going to make a global acquisition?"

……

Time passed quickly, and when Hu Lai refused to cooperate with Boeing and began to increase commercial rocket research and development, Boeing also successfully contacted Mask's SpeacX company.

Immediately afterwards, David, who hurried back to North America, also secretly met with the CEO of General Electric.

But when David was trying his best to restore the situation, the news of Phoenix Group's refusal to cooperate with Boeing leaked out of nowhere.

Bloomberg first broke the news that Boeing CEO David met with SpeacX President Mask immediately after returning from Yanguo, and then the Wall Street Journal and many other media disclosed more details.

"Boeing was rejected by the Phoenix Group! Boeing is about to encounter the biggest crisis in history, and the world's number one aircraft manufacturer will face bankruptcy!"

"Subverting the travel function, Phoenix Group's 'aircraft high-speed WIIF' has received excellent market response and is about to lead the trend of the global aviation industry. It is difficult for Boeing to break through."

"The 'Starlink Project' has become Boeing's only choice, but according to the latest interview, Mask admitted that it will be difficult for the 'Starlink Network' to achieve high-speed WIFI Internet access on aircraft in a short period of time, and Boeing will be under tremendous performance pressure in a short period of time."

"Boeing's decades-long aircraft monopoly or the end of the Phoenix Group?"

As soon as this news came out, the entire capital circle in the United States changed completely!
As a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1934, Boeing is also the stock of choice for many fund managers. In the words of the industry, Boeing is a proper big blue chip and the favorite stock type for value investors!
But now, the stockholders and fund managers who were already in a panic because of the poor performance immediately exploded when they saw the news! …

Good guy.

This is adding fuel to the fire!

I have always imagined that after the global return of the 737MAX, Boeing will usher in a wave of performance rebound. This is a good time to buy bottoms at low positions.

After all, Boeing is also a big brand with a good reputation!

Now it's all right, copied halfway up the mountain, the Phoenix Group directly dealt a heavy blow to Boeing!
Don't underestimate a simple high-speed WIFI function. It is often this small but practical function that will affect market orders and affect performance.

Those investors who have personally experienced the high-speed WIFI on Airbus aircraft can’t sit still. Does Airbus have Boeing? Doesn’t this mean that Airbus’s future flights will definitely occupy a huge advantage? !
There is not much difference in the performance of Airbus and Boeing aircraft themselves. Now Airbus is not pressing Boeing's hammer? !

The faces of the investors are all green, what are you waiting for if this shit doesn't run away?

On the day the news came out, Boeing's stock price fell rapidly as soon as the market opened!
Large fund companies and consortiums threw away, and retail investors and small investors quickly followed suit after seeing the situation.

Because no one thought that Boeing would not be able to reach a cooperation with Phoenix Group before, and Boeing's stock price collapsed completely under the panic selling.

[In other words, reading aloud and listening to books is currently the best, Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】

In just one morning, Boeing's stock price plummeted 24%, and its market value plummeted by US$270 billion, falling directly from the original US$1100 billion to below the 1000 billion mark!
That's $270 billion!
For a while, the leeks who had lost money were angry at Boeing. In addition, major investment institutions and fund companies also began to re-rate Boeing's future.

In this capital war, no one is the winner, and all investors involved in Boeing stocks have been harvested.

Boeing was hit hard, and the wind was jittery.

……

David's mood at this moment is simply indescribable.

Seeing the unstoppable decline of the company's stock price and the endless selling pressure on the market, at first it was anger, then panic, until now it has completely numb.

I'm numb.

Several directors of the board of directors have made several phone calls asking him to do everything possible to stabilize the stock price, and Wall Street Capital, one of the major shareholders, even said bluntly that if Boeing’s plight cannot be resolved within a month, he will be asked to leave.

In the office, David had just hung up the call from the Wall Street consortium when the door of the office suddenly opened.

Thomas, the marketing manager, walked in in a panic.

"Boss, something serious happened."

"Hans Air, Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, Turkish Airlines and many other European airlines have just called and made it clear that they want to cancel the aircraft orders that have not yet been delivered!"

The corners of David's mouth kept twitching, his face became extremely ugly, and the last thing he wanted to see happened!

Sure enough, these European airlines have begun to cut orders!

Slamming on the table, David said angrily:

"idiot!"

"Thomas, didn't you tell them that we have already purchased the raw materials, and if you cancel the order at this time, you need to pay liquidated damages?!"

"Boss, I already told them."

"But...but they would rather pay liquidated damages to cancel the aircraft order; we signed very low liquidated damages in order to grab their order from Airbus, so they don't care at all..." …

boom--!
David slapped the table again. He didn't expect the matter to develop into this situation.

Just then, the phone on the desk rang again.

David's heart trembled suddenly, he had answered too many calls today, and now he didn't know whose call it was!
"Hi, I'm David."

"Mr. David, I am Hunza Hashi, CEO of Emirates Airline."

"I am very sorry, but we intend to cancel the order for 10 Boeing 777 aircraft that have not yet been delivered..."

When David heard this, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Other airlines have marketing manager Thomas in charge, but Emirates has always been his own.

There is no other reason, because Emirates is Boeing's key VIP customer and the only airline in the world that only has Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 models.

And cancel the Boeing 777 order, then the only option is the Airbus A380!
but!

Airbus's A380, Airbus has also discontinued production!

Is it really better not to buy a plane than a Boeing plane?
David said nervously:
"Mr. Hanzahashi, I know you must have heard the news circulating outside."

"That's all fake news, please don't believe it."

"Oh? Mr. David, you mean that you have reached a cooperation with the Phoenix Group to provide high-speed WIFI for aircraft?"

"You have to know that Emirates is the most luxurious airline in the world. If our planes don't have high-speed WIFI, do you think our passengers will be satisfied? Can our tickets still be sold?"

A trace of cold sweat broke out on David's forehead.

Boeing 777 is a luxury model of the Boeing series, and the price is as high as 3-4 million U.S. dollars a piece, and Lilan is much higher than ordinary 737 models!
If Emirates Airlines really cancels 10 orders at once, then the order of 30 billion to 40 billion is gone, which is completely worse for Boeing!
"No... let's put it this way, Mr. Hanzahashi, we are already trying our best to solve the high-speed WIFI problem on the plane."

"We have already reached a cooperation with SpeacX's 'Starlink Satellite', you give me a month, and we guarantee that we can achieve the same function as the Phoenix Group!"

"absolute!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then he said:

"Okay David, I'll give you another month, and in a month I need to upgrade all our Boeing 777s to high speed WIFI!"

"Now that our competitor Qatar Airways has started to buy Airbus aircraft in large quantities, I don't want our customers to be robbed by Qatar Airways."

"Okay, okay."

David hung up the phone carefully, and looked at the marketing manager Thomas still standing in his office, feeling angry from one place.

"What are you still doing here?! Hurry up to appease customers and tell them that we have cooperated with SpeacX and will be able to use high-speed WIFI soon!"

……

Foreign airlines have already started to take action, and Yanguo's domestic airlines have also reacted.

In the past, China Eastern Airlines was the only domestic airline company to engage in aircraft WIFI to try to attract traffic. The reason is that all airlines believed that the previous satellite WIFI signal was not good, and it was rather tasteless.

It can be seen that after the "Tongtian Satellite Aircraft Communication System" provided by Phoenix Group has exploded abroad, domestic airlines have begun to install these services on a large scale.

Just a few days later, China Southern Airlines took the lead in opening the "high-speed WIFI" route on the Beijing-Shanghai route, and as expected, the entire line was full.

Having tasted the sweetness, China Southern Airlines began to try to increase the ticket price by 50-100 yuan, and found that the supply of the ticket price was still in short supply after the 50 yuan increase...

Other airlines can't sit still, and they have launched "high-speed WIFI" routes on major routes, and the attendance rate of Airbus aircraft has suddenly increased sharply.

The Boeing aircraft is even more miserable. The original main aircraft is adjusted to unpopular routes, or the ticket price is reduced by 100-200 yuan to obtain attendance at low prices.

Sichuan Airlines, which is full of Boeing aircraft in Yanguo, was dumbfounded. This is a disaster for no reason!
No way, Sichuan Airlines can only set its sights on C919.

The first five batches of C919 aircraft are about to be delivered, and the C919, which has a complete set of "Tongtian Satellite Aircraft Communication System" of Phoenix Group, is also a good choice.

"No way, I have to find COMAC to coordinate the order."

"We will get at least three of the five C919s this time!"
