"Without any foundation, China has produced an atomic bomb and a hydrogen bomb. At the same time, it has also sent their satellites to heaven. Now, after China's reform and opening up, their technological development is not as fast as before. Why? " Blake asked the crowd with a serious face.
Why?
Pratt Whitney's shareholders immediately felt pain. The Chinese people's rapid and slow technological development had nothing to do with them. However, there were several officials of the Ministry of defense here, and they were not easy to attack, were they not? After all, national interests are above all else! Of course, from another perspective, this is not a bad thing. After all, Boeing is putting pressure on them through the Ministry of defense.
Only by persuading these guys in the Ministry of defense can they agree to Pratt Whitney's export of their most advanced civil aviation engines to China.
Seeing the doubts on the faces of those officials of the Ministry of defense, blacker hung a smile on his mouth: "it is because after the end of the cold war, countries have opened up the export of some technologies to China, and exporting some already backward technologies to China has consumed the Chinese people's little money..."
Blake er's words immediately received a lot of applause.
Once the Chinese people's manufacturing technology and design ability improve, the biggest headache is the U.S. Department of defense. The Chinese people are not as good as the Soviets in cutting-edge manufacturing, but China has made many things that give Americans a headache in recent years.
Many technologies of Chinese ship 052 are transformed by importing civil technology from the international market; China's dongfeng-35, a super strategic missile that Americans have not obtained detailed information, is said to have better performance than the poplar MD intercontinental missile with a range of 14000 kilometers in the hands of Lao maozi! This is the killer mace that the Chinese people have worked hard for more than 30 years.
There are also China's strategic nuclear submarines. According to the news, the performance of class 096 is even better.
The Chinese do not have advanced fighters, so their air defense missiles are the most cost-effective in the world; The Chinese do not have large warships, so their anti-ship missiles and submarines are equally excellent; The Chinese have no long-range bombers and can't put the produced atomic bomb where they need it. Therefore, the Chinese have created the dongfeng-35 with a super long range
All this is kept secret by the Chinese.
If the Americans did not have the largest intelligence system in the world, they would never know these things.
The Chinese are not as powerless as they appear.
Otherwise, after the fall of the former Soviet Union, the biggest enemy of the United States in the world, the United States is the first to clean up China. Now, they just impose some restrictions on China, rather than the most fierce confrontation with the former Soviet Union. God knows what the Chinese have done hiding in the mountains that have been dug through these years.
What limits the development of China's top equipment is nothing else, or China's manufacturing capacity that makes the whole world miserable.
China is a country that lacks cutting-edge manufacturing capacity. When it does not have cutting-edge manufacturing capacity, it has made these things. If so, can Americans still maintain world peace?
"Mr. blackell, in that case, why don't you just export some ordinary engines to the Chinese people and have to export the most advanced aircraft engines you have developed? Although it is civilian, many technologies come from military technology. The Chinese are likely to deduce military engine technology from the technology of these aircraft engines... "As a special adviser to the U.S. Department of defense, keswell, who once served as the technical director of the U.S. logistics and equipment department, asked calmly.
"Mr. keswell, or do you think it is possible for the Chinese people to develop our engine technology in a short time, even if they can't produce engines such as bass, which began to be phased out in the late 1970s? You know, the Chinese people of bass engine have introduced a full set of production technology! " Blake smiled.
All Pratt Whitney shareholders laughed.
Of course, keswell and his party also laughed.
This fear is simply unnecessary. At least, in his eyes, this is not necessary.
"Well, Mr. Blackwell, personally, I think you have successfully persuaded me, but what will the Ministry of defense decide in the end? I can't guarantee it. I can only promise you that we will make a word for word deal to the strategic Department of the Ministry of defense..." the old man keswell almost left with a smile.
As for Pratt Whitney's shareholders, they are not the same as what they consider.
Officials of the Ministry of defense consider the opposite of national security, while these shareholders consider what impact exports to the Chinese will bring to them, how much benefit they can bring, how much risk and how high profit they can make.
After all, everyone is counting on the company to make money to support their family, isn't it?
"As I said before, this is the biggest opportunity for our Pratt Whitney business growth. The European market has Luoluo company, while our country has GM, a giant, and we have always been suppressed by the two companies. In addition to our relatively stable position in military engines, we have no way to compete with these two companies in the civil aviation power market. The development of pw6000 is not too profitable for civil aviation engines. Is it also ready to enter the field of regional airliners that they have begun to pay less attention to, so as to avoid too much competition and lead to losses in this project? " Blacker continued to lobby Pratt Whitney's leaders after the military withdrew.
"Mr. blacker, thank you for all you have done for us. However, we really want to know that we will not only offend Boeing, but also be more severely suppressed by GE and RORO. How should Pratt Whitney deal with it at that time?" Taylor Whitney, chairman of Pratt & Whitney, asked Blake calmly.
The company has a CEO who earns millions of dollars a year. His elderly chairman doesn't care about these businesses at all.
The European and American arms embargo regulations on China enable the whole world to only stare at the military market of the Chinese people. In vain and cheap, Russia obtains tens of billions of US dollars of aircraft engine orders from China every year.
"Chairman Taylor, we only have a cooperative relationship with Boeing, and they have been strongly recommending Ge aircraft engines to their customers all the time. It doesn't matter whether we offend or not. As for the more serious pressure from RORO and Ge, I take the liberty to ask you, have we not been suppressed by them before? Who doesn't want to have no competitors? " Blackell asked Taylor with a smile.
Hearing this, the people immediately began to whisper
"Mr. Jon, at the beginning, because of your Boeing company, we unilaterally tore up the agreement with the Chinese government and have borne huge economic losses. Now, don't you think it's a little too much to ask us to put pressure on RORO company with you to refuse to export civil engines of short-range aircraft to the Chinese market?" Enfit, general manager of Airbus business, stared at Jon Carson with a disgruntled face.
For this matter, he felt that it was completely unnecessary.
They have lost a lot since they gave up the Chinese market. But this guy convinced them that the decision of Boeing's board of directors is not something that middle managers like them can decide at all.
After withdrawing from the Chinese market, although Airbus has obtained some benefits from the Chinese market, it is far from the huge benefits of Boeing.
"Mr. enfett, do you want to see a local competitor in the Chinese market? According to the habits of the Chinese people, how much market share can we have at that time? " Jon smiled, "although we are competitors, we have the same interests in the Chinese market. Only when the Chinese can't produce big planes can our interests be maximized... "
"Is that to maximize your Boeing interests? Because of our price problem, the Chinese have started to design and manufacture regional airliners by themselves. If we hadn't broken the agreement and your McDonnell Douglas Aircraft were still produced by the Chinese, what would the Chinese do? " Enfit said with a sneer.
If it hadn't been for the decision of the company's board of directors, he wouldn't have sat here and talked to Jon about it. It is also for the same reason that Portia Karen, executive vice president of the group company, came here for emergency consultations with Costello, President of Boeing civil aircraft group.
After all, Boeing is the leader of civil aviation. Although Airbus is their strong market competitor, its sales cannot be compared with Boeing at all.
It has nothing to do with how high-level officials negotiate.
But for the market, enfitt was unwilling to be forced to resign as he took office.
"As long as the Chinese don't have engines, can they produce planes that can fly to heaven?" Jon's face was full of ridicule. For the Chinese, it was not that he despised them, but that the Chinese were like this in his mind.
"Hehe, Jon, unless you can convince our board of directors again, Luoluo company can't give up China's traditional market because of our pressure. Many of their planes use RORO's engines... "Enfett will never tell Jon. It is because of his arrogance that China has a huge procurement team planning to visit Europe to purchase Airbus A330.
"If we want to restrict the Chinese people from engaging in this industry, we can only make them feel that buying our aircraft is much cheaper than their own research and development!"
