"Mr. President, it's lunchtime now. Should we invite our Chinese guests to lunch first and discuss it during a short break?" When the scene was in embarrassment, blackell's secretary knocked on the door and entered the conference room.
It was already 12:30 noon. At the beginning, Blake told his secretary not to disturb them when he didn't get any news.
The Secretary has been waiting in her office. She always thought that Mr. blacker would not talk about forgetting time with these Chinese people, but she didn't expect that after twelve o'clock, blacker didn't send her a long edited short message.
She didn't get the news until 12:30. She didn't know that neither side would take the initiative to rest if Yun Fei hadn't pointed out that their research on the pw6000 project has entered a critical period.
Pratt & Whitney needs the Chinese market.
The Chinese need their engines to make their own planes fly into the sky.
"I'm really hungry, Mr. Blackle. Your company won't just ask us to eat raw beef?" Yun Fei also knows that even if they take the initiative in the negotiations, it is unlikely to end the negotiations soon with each other's weakness as at home.
There are essential differences between foreign countries and domestic countries.
It is not only in accordance with the rules of commercial negotiation, but also in line with national interests.
In this era, no one can resist the will of the state, nor can any company. Just like many large industrial groups in the United States, many of them have to continuously dilute their equity and split because they have too much impact on the country
"Mr. Yun is joking. We know you can't get used to Western food. We specially found a master with the title of super chef in China from Chinese restaurants in the city..." for Yun Fei's immature performance at the moment, Blake Er doesn't think he is really so naive.
"That's good. I just don't know if the chef has a special chef certificate in those stalls..." Yun Fei said with a curl of his mouth.
In foreign countries, it is impossible to have a great chef, because these caucasians who are not rich in food culture simply can't understand the essence of China on the tip of their tongue. Maybe these white people with simple diet have poor taste buds, or maybe they don't have much taste. Not many Chinese chefs will make real delicious food for them.
You know, there is an old saying in China that slow work produces fine work, which comes from the chef industry. Many top dishes need to be cooked for several hours, not to mention the preparation time. In particular, some top dishes need a harsh growth environment.
No one will discuss the engine. After all, the habit of Chinese people like to negotiate at the wine table is not accepted in the United States, and the wine table culture only appears in China.
When Yunfei and others followed Blake to their staff restaurant, Costello, President of Boeing civil aircraft group, was listening to the report of Jon Carson, general manager of the current trading company.
It's not too important for the Chinese people to make big planes themselves. After all, China's system and technical level can't be completed in a period of time. Moreover, even if the Chinese have made large aircraft, they also need to obtain airworthiness licenses from the United States and Europe in order to enter the international market, otherwise they can only play in their own domestic market.
No engine, Chinese people want to create how many commercial aircraft, not their market determined, but Boeing and Airbus so that the whole world's aircraft business has the final say. But now Pratt Whitney has taken the initiative to sell engines to China.
Once they have engines, the world's largest commercial aircraft market has little to do with them.
"Does Blake really want to export engines to the Chinese market?" Costello frowned and asked the right man in front of him. No matter how strong the manufacturing capacity is, you have to sell the products. The technology of Airbus is no worse than Boeing, but it has always been suppressed by Boeing, not because they started late, but because Jon Carson has incomparable talent in business.
"Indeed, according to my communication with him last night, if possible, he will even license technology to the Chinese people, or they will set up an engine production plant in China in order to obtain China's huge market share..." Jon Carson said calmly.
Once the Chinese have the ability to make large aircraft, it will not be so easy for Boeing and Airbus to round and flatten Chinese airlines as before. Moreover, if the Chinese have their own aircraft, they can only reduce the price!
It's not long since they just bought McDonnell Douglas and grabbed their hands in the Chinese market. Chinese people began to do such things?
"What did those guys from CAAC and the Ministry of aviation industry say? Do they not promise that China will not start this project within ten years? " Costello asked unhappily, "we have a lot of expenses for tackling key problems. In their hands, do these children who study abroad think they can live here without worry?"
"Mr. President, at the beginning, this project was only developed by a bankrupt state-owned unit in China in order to win project funds. Without state loans, they could not do it at all. In the 1970s, they spent 200 million pounds of foreign exchange in poor China to introduce the bass engine production technology of RORO company, Haven't they made their engines up to now? " Jon Carson naturally knows that without aircraft engines, the Chinese can't get their own aircraft at all.
Costello frowned more tightly: "but now the situation is not that China's state-owned enterprises want to engage in this project, but that they have a young private boss without any backing, right?"
Jon Carson nodded solemnly.
This is what gives them a headache. "The new Prime Minister of the Chinese government is now vigorously fighting corruption and has sacked many officials. Chinese officials who have taken our benefits do not dare to go too far now, especially with the support of the top leadership of the Chinese people..."
"You mean their old man who hasn't died yet? If so, it is not easy to get rid of their project from China. The old man took the blame for his officials when he first took office. Now it is impossible for what happened that year to happen again. Moreover, China's top leaders can't take the blame for their unimportant officials again. " Costello's is very difficult to understand the complex thoughts of the Chinese people.
"This is not a project supported by the Chinese government, but it has been valued by all senior government leaders. The most important reason is that the young Chinese boss is privately funded to carry out the project, not funded by the state finance. According to the current situation, the Chinese won't borrow money from the bank to carry out the project, just worried about being cut off his capital chain... "Jon Carson has been responsible for the operation of these things. After knowing these things, I've been running for these things.
I know the inside story very well.
"Are there such rich people in China? And a young man without a background? " Costello doesn't believe this.
"This young man is not without background. His background can't be compared with that of any Chinese. He has a very deep relationship with the top leaders of the Chinese government. Even the old man hidden behind the scenes inspected his industry twice for the purpose of supporting him. According to the information we got from the insiders of the Chinese government, This year, the old man will visit his industry again, just to support his big plane project... "
"This is a very interesting young man. Since he is an enemy we can't defeat, maybe he can become our friend..." Costello took a deep breath.
Unlike Europe and the United States, everything in China strictly follows the market rules.
The thinking of Chinese people is not something that Europeans and Americans can understand.
"If we cut off their thoughts from the engine and let them have no engine available, we can also prevent them from becoming our competitors. Airbus will never want to have a local competitor in the Chinese market... "Become a partner with the Chinese?
For Jon Carson, it is simply unacceptable. They spent so much energy and finally came to the harvest season, but it is impossible to divide part of their interests to the Chinese people. If so, they will tear up the cooperation agreement between McDonnell Douglas and the Chinese people and take back the Chinese people's production authorization, Instead, they lost a large part of their interests.
"Jon, in the face of interests, there is no eternal enemy. If we force them to do this project, maybe we will completely lose the Chinese market. Along the way, this young man has made CNC machine tool enterprises in various countries lose a lot of interests. In China, as long as we put on the coat of domestic production, we can kidnap most users. " Costello sighed, "moreover, we can't control Pratt Whitney not to export their engines to China, just as Airbus can't control RORO not to export engines to China. Blackwell's bastard and Pratt & Whitney's board see this better than any of us... "
The Chinese are basically unable to stop this project.
Unless we can start with the people who are engaged in the project itself
