Chapter 926

Ma Fengshan is very familiar with Mason hand. When he was in the United States, he had the most communication with Mason hand, deputy chief designer of McDonnell Douglas. They often argued with red faces and thick necks.

Many of Ma Fengshan's aircraft test solutions and design inspiration were debated with this American old man about his age.

People have national boundaries and races, but academia has no national boundaries.

At least that's what Mason hand is.

Perhaps he was dismissed by McDonnell Douglas because he revealed too many core technologies to the Chinese. Otherwise, based on the old man hand's experience and achievements in the aircraft design industry, even if McDonnell Douglas goes bankrupt and is acquired by Boeing, this aircraft designer who loves aircraft design and is distorted should also be an aircraft designer at Boeing, rather than working at Pratt Whitney, which only studies aircraft propulsion system

Then Catherine's words confirmed Ma Fengshan's conjecture.

"Mr. hand left McDonnell Douglas and joined Pratt Whitney as a project chief engineer for some reasons after the original Gao Han Daobi exchange meeting..." Catherine didn't know much about these things.

Because when hand entered Pratt & Whitney, she was just an ordinary middle manager of Pratt & Whitney.

Along the way, Ma Fengshan talked with Catherine very much. As a special receptionist of Yunfei, Catherine didn't ignore Yunfei and others. From time to time, she set some topics to bring Yunfei and others into the discussion topic, so that Yunfei and others didn't feel left out.

This woman can become the vice president of the business of such a huge high-tech company as Pratt Whitney in her forties, which definitely does not depend on her body. At least, along the way, she exchanged a lot of professional and technical things with Ma Fengshan.

And these things are not dead parameters.

The 40 minute drive passed quickly under the communication between Catherine and Ma Fengshan.

Yunfei wanted to ask about the relationship between Ma Fengshan and the Han de in Catherine's mouth, but Ma Fengshan ignored him at all. His heart was like a cat scratching. There was no way but to worry.

Pratt Whitney, founded in the early 20th century, should be the earliest professional aircraft engine design and production company in the world. The gate of their company is not as magnificent as some Chinese enterprises, and the huge factory area is also very simple and old. From the appearance, the company is not like a high-tech company with an annual turnover of billions of dollars.

When the motorcade just arrived at Pratt Whitney's administrative building, Pratt Whitney's president Blake ER was leading several employees to wait for Yunfei at the door.

Before Catherine was introduced, one of the waiting people, a gray haired, short old man, gave an exaggerated cry, and then rushed towards Ma Fengshan. Ma Fengshan, who has always been more serious, also gave an exaggerated smile and came forward to hug the white old man with the same figure as him.

When Yunfei saw this scene, he felt that there was only one word to describe it - passion!

It seems that the old man is Mason hand, the aircraft designer who has a foundation with Ma Fengshan, as Catherine said.

After an introduction, blacker took Yun Fei and his party to the long arranged conference room.

This let people see the efficiency of Americans. After asking if Yunfei and his party need to enter the hotel to have a rest and getting a negative answer, they were ready to go straight to the subject. After all, they are not facing the heads of state-owned units and government departments with strong institutional style in China. They come out to talk about things. Secondly, tourism and shopping are the main purpose.

Private enterprises focus on efficiency.

Profit is their goal.

For them, time is money.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at present, we need low noise, low fuel consumption and high efficiency environmental protection engines with thrust between 17500 pounds and 22500 pounds. At present, we mainly develop a new regional airliner with 90 to 110 seats, which is a new regional airliner with hundreds of orders. For you, this is really not a big order... "Ma Fengshan directly indicated their intention.

In large aircraft, the engine is the core component and the most important part.

This is basically the most expensive part.

Although the ARJ-21 is a small regional airliner, and the final market price is estimated to be about $30 million, the price of two engines needs to be between $4 million and $6 million.

For an engine, the budget of Ma Fengshan and others is basically between us $2 million and US $3 million. If we can't talk about it, the price of more than US $3 million is acceptable. After all, the market price of those large trunk engines is more than $10 million.

China Eastern Airlines once purchased 20 Airbus A330-300 passenger planes from Airbus, using the Ruida 700 engine of Rolls Royce company in the UK, with a thrust of 67500 pounds to 71100 pounds, with a total price of 450 million US dollars. This is just the price of the engine.

As the core component of the aircraft, the price of the engine accounts for almost one seventh to one fifth of the total cost of the aircraft. If you can't produce an engine yourself, it's inevitable to be slaughtered.

According to tradition, such a number of procurement can even introduce production technology for their own production

Unfortunately, China has always been despised in these markets.

100 regional airliners, which is the number of regional airliners Yunfei plans to purchase in the next ten years. Many aircraft passenger transport is not the main thing, and freight is the fat meat he sees. Facing their e-commerce, the domestic air express business will show explosive growth in China in the next few years.

The total contract price of 200 engines is only between 400 million and 600 million US dollars. Although this amount exceeds one-fifth of Pratt Whitney's annual sales, the contract time is very long

"For your company's demand, our jt8d-200 engine of Pratt Whitney is fully suitable, with a thrust of 18500-21700 pounds. Most MD-80 aircraft produced by McDonnell Douglas use this engine, and there is absolutely no problem in taking off frequently between short-range cities. Moreover, this is the most environmentally friendly high reliability regional airliner engine in the world. " As soon as Catherine heard Ma Fengshan report their requirements, she quickly reported jt8d-200, an engine that will be eliminated by the aviation market.

"Moreover, the price of this engine is less than US $2.5 million. For Chinese users, it is definitely an excellent engine with high cost performance."

"Ms. Catherine, I don't think you understand our demands. What we need is an advanced engine to help our aircraft fly in the sky, not an engine that will be eliminated by the aviation market. In addition, as far as we know, the price of each jt8d-200 engine purchased by McDonnell Douglas in Pratt Whitney is not less than US $2.5 million, but US $1.46 million. If we need to spend such a high price to purchase an engine that is about to fall behind, we might as well use the bass engine we introduced technology from Rolls Royce in the 1970s... "Ma Fengshan immediately laughed at Catherine's words.

These guys really kill them as big wrongs.

"Mr. Ma, the price we sell to McDonnell Douglas is so low. I think you should know better than us that the aircraft produced by American and European aircraft companies do not need us to tackle the key problems of the government. At the same time, they do not need us to help obtain the airworthiness license of the United States. The extra nearly one million dollars, Basically, it's the cost of tackling key problems... "Ma Fengshan knew their reserve price, and Catherine didn't have any embarrassment.

It is very difficult for Chinese people to buy aircraft engines from the United States.

The former Soviet Union has disintegrated. The old Russian maozi have been eating the old capital left by the former Soviet Union and have not made much achievements in aircraft engine technology. Moreover, not much research funds are invested in the development of military engines.

In order to avoid another red Empire challenging the authority of the United States, and to prevent the whole world from tense confrontation due to different ideologies, it is inevitable for the United States to suppress China, the largest socialist country on earth - who calls socialism? The purpose is to eliminate the asset class and the exploitation system? Don't you know that most developed countries in the world are capitalist countries?

China clearly wants to destroy countries that serve capitalists.

Therefore, it is necessary to suppress China.

Moreover, the United States needs a strong object to be suppressed to keep their little European brothers close to them. Polar bears have been dragged down by their space war plan. In recent years, those countries in Europe have begun to stay away from the United States and suppress China, which is necessary.

The Yellow Peril threat theory was basically concocted by the Americans.

"Ms. Catherine, perhaps you don't know that the order for this regional airliner in our hands was issued by our boss's 91 airlines. The whole world knows that our boss only likes to earn money from our own people and has no interest in exporting. Therefore, all we need is to obtain the airworthiness license issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China... "Jiang Jianxing only knows some simple communication in English, so he said this in Chinese.

I'm kidding. If you want to export regional airliners, it's not very possible for the European and American markets.

Boeing's competition with Airbus is fierce.

They do not have the slightest details of the company to participate in the competition between them, this is not to find their own disability, what is it?
