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

Chapter 420 Just to see you pity

It is not yet known whether the Phoenix Group's entry into the COMAC Group is a disaster for GE and Boeing.

but.

When the press conference ended, the powerful performance of the "Somersault Cloud" engine first caused an uproar internationally.

Aside from those domestic and foreign institutions flocking to seek cooperation and confirm news, the most intuitive impact of the announcement of the performance of the "Somersault Cloud" engine is that.

The stocks of several large aerospace companies in the Aramco stock market plummeted, and the stock price of GE even crashed immediately.

Only half an hour into the night trading of futures, GE stock fell by 34%, which was even more terrifying than the decline when Phoenix Group launched a price war against Nvidia.

Everyone knows what it will mean to established engine companies such as GE and RR once Yanguo and Phoenix Group break the monopoly in the aero-engine industry.

Such consequences are happening in the chip industry next door.

The Wall Street capital behind GE looked desperately at the red falling indicators on the screen. They thought they could use this opportunity to suppress C919 to finally obtain more lucrative orders and reap a fortune from COMAC, but they didn't expect it.

Not only did he not make any money, but he lost his wife and lost his army.

this moment.

The entire Aramco market and all capitalists are completely panicked.

Even if there is no news about the actual test flight of "Somersault Cloud", and there is no video material related to "Somersault Cloud", it is just a basic verbal news announcement!
But no one dared to question the authenticity of the news released by the Phoenix Group!
Yes!

The chip dispute has completely stunned them, and the super bionic robot has even knocked out their confidence!

Now they maintain 100% trust in any news from across the sea and from the Phoenix Group, because they know that the news from the Phoenix Group has not been missed!
Just when GE, the big consortia represented by Boeing, and Wall Street capital were in a panic, the strategic analysis office was also in chaos.

It was already one o'clock in the morning, but the lights in the strategic analyst room were still bright.

Ever since the Phoenix Group quickly announced the performance parameters of the "Somersault Cloud" and announced that the Phoenix Group acquired 51% of COMAC's shares, everyone knew that this overall plan against Yan Country had basically failed.

Sitting in his office, Brinton felt nothing but despair.

This time they are not well prepared. Under the coordination of the largest Jewish consortium behind Aramco, it is rare for its domestic multi-party capital and high-level leaders to reach an agreement.

In terms of technology, they took the initiative to sacrifice hundreds of billions of interests in the entire chip industry in exchange for a strategic initiative in the engine field, hoping to use the engine to force Yan Guo to retreat and bow!
In terms of military affairs, it also lured "Nan'an" and "New Delhi" to create military friction, preparing to plunge Yan into long-term friction and struggling to deal with it.

In terms of public opinion, they did not hesitate to spend tens of billions of dollars to incite the hearts of the people in Yan Kingdom, making people panic and unable to unite as one!
This set of targeting plans can be said to be omnipotent, fully oppressing and targeting.

But even with such thorough preparations, the Yan Kingdom was finally destroyed.

No.

To be precise, it was torn apart by the Phoenix Group!
Thinking of this, Brinton sighed heavily.

If there were obvious industrial flaws in Yan Country before, then from now on, Yan Country and Ami are truly on the same starting line.

Maybe there are things that can make Yan Guo a headache, but there is nothing that can really hurt Yan Guo!

He looked at Liu Yixiu who was at the side, and at this moment Liu Yixiu also looked at him.

Brinton forced a smile.

"Mr. Liu, if you have any ideas, please speak up."

Liu Yixiu's face was pale, and after a while he said with difficulty:
"Mr. Brinton, we have to change our strategy again..."

"And, we may have to make concessions!"

Brinton trembled all over when he heard the words, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

concession……

What a strange word, is it really our turn to make concessions?
……

the other side.

C919 engine provider, GE headquarters.

Compared with the despair of the Strategic Analysis Office, after the announcement of the performance of the "Somersault Cloud" engine, they have been immersed in the field of aero engines for many years, but they are more aware of what the "Somersault Cloud" engine means to GE after its release.

It means that COMAC's C919 no longer needs to buy their "LEAP-1C" engine!
It means that Yanguo's last and most serious shortcoming in the field of large aircraft manufacturing has been filled.

soon.

In a spacious conference room, all GE senior managers gathered overnight and held an emergency meeting.

The problem to be solved at the meeting is very simple, that is, they must act immediately and try their best to make COMAC continue to perform the procurement contract.

That's right.

This is absurd and ridiculous.

Two or three months ago, COMAC begged them, hoping that they could continue to implement the procurement contract and sell engines to themselves.

And now.

Feng Shui turns, and it is GE's turn to beg COMAC to implement the procurement contract and continue to buy their engines.

As soon as the meeting started, Vice President Johansen looked at "Jack Lee", a senior Chinese executive in charge of connecting with COMAC, and said:

"Li, the relationship between us and COMAC is not very good now, and it must be difficult to restore the situation under normal circumstances."

"They all said that you have a lot of connections in Yan Country. Can you use your connections to re-convince the other party to continue fulfilling our procurement contract?"

"Even if it costs some money, it's acceptable..."

Jack Lee, a Chinese man, shook his head and said:
"It's basically impossible. There may be a little bit of hope in the COMAC Group before, but now the Phoenix Group has taken over the COMAC Group...It is impossible for them not to control the procurement department."

"And we don't have any connections with the Phoenix Group at all."

Vice President Johansen frowned, thought for a while, and continued:
"Then can we do it another way?"

"The contract between COMAC and us is still wrangling. From a legal point of view, the two parties have not really terminated the agreement, so now we have the right to allow them to continue to implement the contract."

"We can threaten them with breach of contract and demand liquidated damages."

As soon as the words fell, Jack Lee shook his head even more violently.

"Vice President, we'd better not offend COMAC in this situation."

"To be precise, we'd better not offend the Phoenix Group anymore. Once they retaliate against us and start a price war on engines, our losses will be far more than compensation."

Johansen was clearly dissatisfied with Jack Lee's statement.

"No, not a threat."

"The most important point this time is that the Phoenix Group has developed the 'Somersault Cloud' engine, but have you noticed? Their 'Somersault Cloud' engine is a heavy-duty engine with a fan diameter of 3.5 meters and an inlet diameter of 4.5 meters. It is a complete waste to put the engine on the C919 regional airliner."

"Even if they have the strength to develop a small-displacement engine that is more suitable for the C919, what about the time cost? What about the capacity problem? This will not be solved overnight!"

"So! I believe we still have a chance!"

"My idea is: on the one hand, we can take the initiative to lower the price of some engines and give them a profit; on the other hand, we can threaten them with high liquidated damages! They will definitely obey, of course, if we can find an insider to do it for us Customer, then the confidence is even higher!"

"As long as they continue to fulfill the purchase contract, we will be able to earn more profits from COMAC at least in the next five years!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and even Peter Anduni, the president of GE sitting at the top of the meeting, couldn't help but nodded.

After a while.

President Peter said:
"Johnson's approach is good."

"Well, let's not wait for COMAC's reply. In order to show our sincerity, you, Jack Li, and Johansen will go to Yanguo and COMAC to discuss this matter in person."

"Even if we give up some profits, we still have to find a way to win the order of C919 and give us more strategic space!"

"it is good!"

……

At 6 o'clock that morning, the two boarded the plane to Yanguo.

By the time Hu Lai found out that GE had sent two high-level representatives to Yan Country, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

The Phoenix Group just took over COMAC, and Hu Lai didn't have time to make any personnel changes, and he didn't want to make any personnel changes.

In addition, President Yu of COMAC has always admired Hu Lai very much, so there is no lack of cooperation in work.

and so.

When Jack Lee and Johansen came to COMAC to find Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu did not dare to make decisions privately and called Hu Lai directly to report.

Hu Lai did not refuse the visit when he heard that it was a senior executive from GE. His thoughts were basically the same as what Johansen said.

On the night when the Phoenix Group took over COMAC, there was a heated debate within the Phoenix Group on the matter of the engine.

indeed.

The somersault cloud engine is very strong, but it is so strong that it feels like a V8 engine is placed on a QQ car, which is too wasteful.

Passenger aircraft like the C919 still care about fuel economy very much. It is really too fuel-intensive to have two such high-thrust engines!
It is not impossible to build a small engine with a thrust of about 15 tons, but Hu Lai no longer wants to waste precious points to buy small thrust engine technology.

of course.

Another way is to thoroughly understand the parameters and technologies of the "Somersault Cloud" engine, and then scale it down, just like the previous "Tongtian Satellite", but this requires a lot of time to optimize and learn step by step.

You must know that the "Somersault Cloud" engine has all the data, including resonance data and combustion chamber data, so it can be successfully assembled in just three months!

And if it is a small-displacement engine in reverse, then the parameters have changed, and all the testing work must be done from the beginning. The design may not reduce the pressure, but the workload of the test is no different from a brand new engine!
Therefore, when he heard that GE executives came to visit for the order, Hu Lai still decided to meet.

Soon, Jack Lee and Johnson came to the Phoenix Group.

After factory manager Zhang arranged the two of them in the living room, Hu Lai came in person after a while.

After a brief introduction, Hu Lai went straight to the topic.

"Let's start directly. The two people who are thousands of miles away are visiting in person. There must be something important."

This time GE was led by Vice President Johansen and assisted by Jack Lee. After seeing Hu Lai's neither enthusiastic nor indifferent attitude, both of them couldn't help but feel hopeful.

Johnson nodded, took out a document from his bag, and handed it to Hu Lai.

"Mr. Hu, congratulations on becoming the real boss of COMAC."

"We had some unpleasant things with COMAC before, but we are here today with sincerity and hope to solve these problems."

Hu Lai was not in a hurry to open the document that Johnson handed over, but he relaxed after hearing this, half leaned on the chair, looked directly at Johnson, and said:
"Oh?"

"Then how do you guys want to solve it?"

"Is such that."

Johansen immediately stopped what he was doing, and looked at Hu Lai with both eyes.

"Before, we had to stop supplying 'LEAP-1C' engines to COMAC due to official reasons from both parties."

"I can assure you that we have been constantly communicating and fighting with the authorities. Finally, now we can continue to supply COMAC."

"Of course... We also know that this incident has caused some losses to your company, so after discussion with the board of directors, we are willing to reduce the original purchase price of each engine by 8%. I hope you can feel our sincerity."

Ok?
Hu Lai smiled lightly and shook his head.

Then he looked at Johnson.

"Mr. Johnson, first of all, it is your official problem, not our problem."

"Secondly, I really don't see any sincerity at the 8% price."

Johnson didn't argue verbally either, and said in a calm voice:
"Mr. Hu, what do you mean the price needs to be adjusted?"

"Don't worry, as long as you speak, I will try my best to fight for the headquarters."

Hu took a look at Johansen. He didn't expect that the vice president of GE was still thinking about these petty profits at this moment.

Can't they see their situation clearly?
He didn't speak in a hurry, but instead returned the document that Johnson handed over just now.

"Mr. Johnson, I don't want to hear your sincerity. I have three requests."

Johnson took a deep breath and nodded.

"First, we can continue to purchase your 'LEAP-1C' engines, and we don't need to ask you for liquidated damages, but the contract must be re-signed, and."

"I know that your engine's gross profit rate is about 39%, and your net profit rate is 29%. Well, the price is 20% cheaper, and you still have 8% profit."

"No! It's impossible...Mr. Hu." Johnson blurted out.

"Don't worry, just listen to me."

Hu Lai signaled Johnson to be quiet, and continued:

"Second, we need to obtain the production line technology of the 'LEAP-1C' engine that you have transferred. In other words, we must have the ability to independently copy the 'LEAP-1C' engine in the future."

"Of course, a five-year deadline can be added to this clause. After five years, we are allowed to counterfeit this engine and sell it."

Johnson kept shaking his head.

"The third and most important point is that any 'LEAP-1C' engine you sell to us will have real-time dynamic data on the operation and operation. Not only can you get it, but we also need to get the data!"

Johnson exploded directly!

"No! Impossible, Mr. Hu!"

"Are you kidding? We can't agree to any of the three things you said!"

"I know, you have now developed the 'somersault cloud' engine!"

"But! so what?"

"You all know very well in your own hearts that 'Somersault Cloud' is not suitable for C919 at all!"

"Also, even if you are now starting to develop engines with smaller thrust, it will not be possible to achieve mass production in a day or two! How about your C919 delivery?!"

"So, now you have no better choice than us!"

Hu Lai snorted disdainfully, glanced blankly, then stood up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

Since there is no agreement, there is nothing to talk about.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, after seeing Hu Lai's gesture to see off the guests, Johansen lost control of his emotions.

He shouted loudly and threatened:

"Mr. Hu, don't go too far!"

"We have given you enough sincerity, since you have done this, then don't blame us!"

"Don't forget that the purchase order between COMAC and us is still in effect. If you don't continue to fulfill the order, then you will face sky-high liquidated damages!"

"and!"

"Besides us, don't think you can buy engines from other aviation companies, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!!"

Hu Lai's face suddenly turned cold.

He looked at Johansen's face with great pity, the other party jumped the wall in a hurry!

The Commercial Aircraft Group is now merged into the Phoenix Group, and it is no longer the former Commercial Aircraft Corporation!

Even though there are still some small problems, it is no longer possible for GE to threaten itself with such a tone!
At this moment, Hu Lai's cell phone on the table suddenly turned on, it was an email.

He gently opened the email, then put the phone screen in front of Johnson's eyes, and said coldly:
"Is this what you said, don't try to buy engines from other aviation companies?"

"Hehe, you are not willing to cooperate with us, but it is not surprising that there are a lot of companies begging to cooperate with us."

Johansen's face changed suddenly, and when he saw the content of the email, he showed an expression of disbelief!
The content of the email is the engine procurement agreement and technology transfer agreement just signed between Phoenix Group and the famous engine company RR!
"how is this possible!"

Johansen's face turned pale in an instant, and he suddenly understood!

Although RR Company is a company of Great Britain in name, it is the Airbus Group behind it!

Airbus Group!

Airbus Group!

Airbus is trying to curry favor with the Phoenix Group and the Yan Kingdom. Their purpose is only one!
It is to build a good relationship with Yan Guo, and then get an aircraft order from Yan Guo!
The previous more than 800 planes gave them a taste of the sweetness!
Suddenly, Johansen felt a shudder down his back. How could he have any allies in front of interests!
At this moment, Hu Lai's calm and cold voice came.

"In a way, we don't need you anymore!"

"The reason why I gave you the opportunity to let you talk is just to see that you are pitiful, out of pity for you."

……

PS: Say the lower limit is exempt.

In the first few days, the exemption was restricted, but some readers said why the previous chapters can be exempted, but the latest chapters cannot be exempted.

In fact, I also thought it was free for the whole book. After reading the comments from readers, I tried to read the last few chapters and found out that there was a charge.

but.

All of this is set by the platform, and the author has no right to speak...

However, a reader is also right, it is very unfriendly to the old buddies who have been following up, so I made a decision at that time.

Today's chapter is 5300 words, and then only the cost of 3200 words is counted... It is equivalent to that I personally gave you 2K words for free without charge.

There is only so much the author can do, and it can be regarded as a small benefit for everyone in the new month.

Two chapters were updated today, a total of 2.3+5.3=7.6K
