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

Beijing, COMAC.

At this time, it is no longer Mr. Yu of COMAC who is personally in charge of this matter at COMAC, but a special steering group sent by the above.

"Did GE respond again?"

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

"Just replied, they made it clear that they will abide by Aramco's laws and will not provide us with LEAP-1C engines."

Bai Song pushed the glasses frame, his expression didn't change at all, apparently he was not surprised by this result.

He looked up at the serious assistant and asked:
"What about the liquidated damages clause they signed with us?"

"They admitted to breaching the contract and are willing to pay liquidated damages, but...their reply this time has very bad news."

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

Bai Song fell silent.

After a while, he said slowly:
"What about Rolls-Royce (RR) and Pratt & Whitney (PW), still no reply?"

The assistant nodded solemnly.

call--!
Bai Song took a deep breath, and his expression became serious for the first time.

Comac's situation is dead.

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

However, even though they immediately contacted other aero engine suppliers, such as RR from Great Britain and PW from Maple Leaf Country, none of them made any substantial progress.

Now GE has also terminated the delivery here, completely making the C919 face the desperate situation of lacking aero engines.

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

Unexpectedly, C919 finally came to this step.

Doesn't Yanguo officials know that aero engines may be restricted by Aramco?
of course I know.

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

The original idea was to go on the domestic market for five or six years, and then push it to the overseas market after having gained sufficient experience in model performance and operation experience.

Just at that time, the domestically produced "Yangtze River 1000 engine" was also mass-produced, and there was no such thing as aero-engine being stuck. Didn't the large aircraft industry develop smoothly?

But people are not as good as God.

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

With a large number of orders in front of us, and an excellent opportunity to enter the overseas market, who can sit still? !

Bai Song shook his head inwardly, no one would refuse.

If it is necessary to say that Yan Guo made any mistakes in this matter, it is still taking chances.

In other words, Ami's determination to restrict Yan is still greatly underestimated.

However, it is useless to say anything at this point.

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

"Xiao Li, how is the situation of the overseas airlines? Can it be stabilized?"

The assistant looked ugly, shook his head and said:
"Several airlines that have a good relationship with our country have not yet expressed their views."

"However, many pro-American airlines such as Turkish Airlines, Pan Am, and Qantas have officially launched commercial liquidated damages against us."

"And... the public opinion on the overseas network is very fermented, and the whole network is full of unfavorable news about us."

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

"We now want to solve the problem of the C919 engine. Perhaps the only way is to negotiate with Ami..."

peace talks?

Bai Song frowned, and was about to speak.

But at this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Just looking at the calling number, Bai Song's face suddenly became extremely serious.

After answering the phone for a short time, he was a little anxious and said hastily:
"Xiao Li, let's go back right away!"

"Director Li himself called just now, let us report the situation to the leaders right away!"

Ok?
For a moment, the assistant was also stunned on the spot, but fortunately, he quickly reacted and turned around to prepare for 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 that the atmosphere in the room was dignified, and several leaders were discussing something in a low voice.

See him come in.

Chief Li greeted him briefly, and then handed Bai Song the latest document.

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

Bai Song was unavoidably nervous in the face of so many leaders, so he hurriedly took it and read it carefully, before finishing it, he was shocked.

What is written on a thin document is the latest report by foreign media that has sparked heated discussions!
"National Advancement and Private Retreat—Phoenix Group, a well-known private enterprise in Yan State, is about to become a state-owned enterprise! "

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

Before he could say more, Chief Li said in a low voice:

"False news."

"This is the beginning of the public opinion war on the other side and the beginning to confuse our army!"

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

Chief Li went on to say:

"Although we don't know the intention behind their dissemination of this fake news for the time being, this news is obviously very bad for us."

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

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

At this time, all the leaders in the conference room stopped discussing and focused on Baisong. After hearing that companies such as GE and RR had completely rejected the possibility of cooperation, all the leaders present frowned.

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

"Leaders, there is almost no possibility of obtaining advanced aero-engines through normal commercial channels. What we can do now are the last two last resorts."

All eyes in the conference room fell on Bai Song.

"The first way is to purchase Da Mao's PD-14 engine."

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

"This is also the last solution in all our plans, and the last resort among the last resorts!"

The crowd frowned.

After a while, Chief Li asked:
"Did you ask Da Mao? How did you say it?"

"We contacted them two days ago, but their attitude was not positive. They replied that the production capacity is not enough and may not be able to meet our needs."

"What about the actual situation? Have you understood it? Is the production capacity really not enough?"

Bai Song shook his head.

"Objectively, they do have insufficient production capacity, but they can expand production in a short period of time..."

"The reason why they say this is most likely to 'advance with retreat', in order to obtain more benefits from us, and according to the latest situation we have, they should want technology to invest in COMAC."

"The current thinking within them is, 40% stake."

40% stake!

As soon as this remark came out, discussions immediately erupted in the room, and a moment later, a leader took the case.

"Impossible, just one engine will take away 40% of the shares, absolutely impossible! And it's an engine with backward performance!"

"When COMAC was established before, they were invited to jointly research and develop, but they refused; now that COMAC has opened up the international market, it is impossible to take advantage of it."

"Bai Song, you just talk about the second method."

Bai Song nodded and said:
"The second way is to negotiate peace with Ami. We will make concessions in exchange for them lifting the engine restrictions!"

As soon as the voice fell, all voices stopped abruptly, and the entire room fell into silence.

Don't think about it.

Not to mention concessions, even if you take the initiative to contact Amina, you will lose the initiative strategically. If you want to negotiate, the price you pay will definitely be unbearable!
Who dares to bear such a price?

but……

Is there any other way? !

Everyone frowned suddenly, and there was only the sound of everyone's silent breathing in the small room.

After more than a minute, finally.

The old man sitting above coughed lightly, breaking the silence.

At this moment, all eyes were on the old man above.

"Bai Song, I just listened to your report."

"Our current situation is that we either use Da Mao's engine, but Da Mao is very likely to let us transfer 40% of COMAC's equity."

"Or, you can only reach a settlement with North America."

Bai Song looked at the old man with respect and nodded solemnly.

After a long silence, the old man looked directly at Bai Song with deep eyes:

"Other than that, is there any other way?"

Bai Song hesitated for a moment, then shook his head firmly.

The venue was silent, and the old man let out a heavy breath.

After a long time.

The old man glanced at everyone present, and said slowly and forcefully:

"Comrades, if we take the initiative to make concessions, the price we will pay is unimaginable!"

"But if we can't cross the hurdle of large aircraft, all the efforts of our generations in the field of large aircraft will be in vain."

The old man's words caused everyone to fall into silence again, and everyone looked solemn.

Everyone knows that Amei is well prepared and aggressive this time, and it will not be easily settled.

And even if you choose to cooperate with Da Mao, it will almost hand over half of the shares of COMAC, the core of the large aircraft industry!

This is also a huge hidden danger for the domestic large aircraft industry that wants to develop independently!
Do you want to cooperate? !
Once COMAC runs out of engines in stock, it will face a desperate situation without aero engines at all, and the entire large aircraft industry chain built around the C919 will all stagnate!

At this moment, everyone present was caught in a difficult dilemma.

At this moment, the old man above slowly raised his right hand and said slowly:

"It is impossible to make concessions, you can only survive in the struggle!"

"but……"

"For the sake of the development of our large aircraft industry, even if Da Mao wants 40% of the shares, we can only keep in touch with them and finalize the engine as soon as possible!"

"We must ensure that the domestic large aircraft industry chain is at least not completely collapsed, and operates at a minimum!"

When the voice fell, everyone fell silent.

Even the leaders who were the loudest against Da Mao were speechless.

The scene fell into a wordless silence, and a strong sense of aggrieved deeply poured into everyone's hearts.

Hey……!
Several leaders shook their heads involuntarily and sighed.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten!
Before it was a chip, now it is an aero engine!

If we can master the core technology, there can be a domestic company that can produce aero engines, why is the situation like this!
Why did Da Mao pick up such a big deal!

Why was Ami forced to such a point!

At this moment, Chief Li, who had never expressed his opinion, suddenly said:
"Leader, we may have another way."

"There is another company in our country that may have a solution for aero engines!"

As soon as these words came out, the old man sitting above was shocked, and asked intently:

"Who?"
