Yes, edron is incredible. You should know that the contradiction between British Aerospace and actor company is the same. Evans and Owen, the core leaders of actor company, are not magnanimous people. The probability that they can shake hands and make peace is almost zero.
It is based on the above judgment that edron confidently and boldly sold the British aerospace company, because it can not only win the favor of the British aerospace company, but also maximally hit the British aviation industry.
But it's hard to imagine that British aerospace company not only broke up with the actor company, but also quickly reached a technology exchange agreement with it, which surprised edron but also gave birth to a bad feeling.
However, before edron had finished digesting the shock Charles brought to him, a tall but thin middle-aged white man came quickly and said warmly, "Hi, Mr. Charles, is this your French friend?"
Edron was stunned for a moment. He didn't know each other, but his English with American Western accent made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Yes, Mr. McKinley. This is Charles edron, executive vice president of Dassault and director of Airbus Europe."
Charles took good care of McKinley, and then introduced edron to him. Then he pointed to edron and introduced him to McKinley: "this is Mr. McKinley, the new CEO of Cessna company. This time, he came to attend the inauguration ceremony of actor company's latest L162 small aircraft production line."
As soon as this remark came out, edron's heart suddenly jumped with a bad feeling. Cessna company of the United States, a world-famous manufacturer of small aircraft, small executive aircraft and small business mechanism.
If so, at most, edron is just vigilant. It will never feel bad. The reason is so simple. Last year, general motors of the United States spent a lot of money to acquire most of the shares of Cessna company, thus pocketing this world-famous small aircraft manufacturing company.
So although the McKinley Ryan is under the banner of Cessna company, in fact, behind him is GM, a powerful giant.
If so, that's all. What's more important is that they have placed the L162 small aircraft production line in actor company, which proves that General Motors has launched substantive cooperation with actor company.
A British aerospace company, an American general motors company, it is obvious that Britain and the United States have joined hands.
Aware of this, edron's face is very ugly, as well as the heads of other European airlines. After all, the sudden coming together of Britain and the United States is not a good thing for them.
However, the old aristocrats in Europe are very respectable. Apart from their own upbringing, the most important thing is that they still have doubts about the idea that the actor company operates a plane every four hours.
So they see the uk-u.s. alliance more as a means of pressure from actor companies to raise their prices.
After all, for these old European aviation companies, the new actor has too shallow a foundation, and there is no way out except to be merged by them.
I believe that the senior management of the actor company is also aware of this, so it's shameless to pull on Britain and the United States, hoping to buy themselves at a good price.
In this regard, edron is also the head of other European aviation enterprises. In addition to some depression, they don't have many other ideas. They just pay more money. That's why they show the most basic politeness to McKinley lane.
Even on some topics, it can be said that we had a good conversation.
All the way from the parking lot to the actor company's aircraft production plant, Evans and Owen had been waiting for them. When they saw their arrival, they rushed to meet them. After some greetings, Evans led a group of people into the plant through the side door.
At the moment when the heads of European aviation enterprises, who were still talking about their own topics, stepped into the factory, everyone seemed to be under a magic spell, even in the topic of interest, they were stifled back, because all their attention was stunned by the scene in front of them.
In such a large workshop, there is no fixed aircraft assembly station as they used to see, but a U-shaped continuous production structure around the workshop.
Aircraft in different states are evenly distributed on this U-shaped assembly line, from nothing at the beginning, to the appearance of fuselage contour, to wing placement, avionics installation, landing gear hydraulic system assembly, related system testing, and finally to the completed aircraft.
Such a large U-shaped structure is like an evolution road of aircraft from scratch. Panel installation, wing assembly, avionics, hydraulics, and even testing, which used to need to line up for aircraft assembly, can be carried out at the same time on such a simple U-shaped structure.
It's just
"Keke ~ ~"
just when a group of European aviation enterprise leaders, such as edron, were looking at the aircraft production line of actor company and couldn't pull out their eyes, Evans suddenly coughed gently.Everyone was embarrassed to look back at Evans, and Evans was very proud to point to the U-shaped production line in front of him: "gentlemen, what we are looking at is the real main business of our actor company, the design of aviation product production architecture. What you see is the rapid production architecture of aircraft, pulse-1 production line, which has been researched and developed by me and my partners for several years. ”
"pulse?" A Dutch business executive frowned, as if puzzled by the name.
Evans nodded: "yes, because we evenly divided the original aircraft assembly process into engine and landing gear installation, piping system installation, electrical system and tail installation, windshield tail and fairing installation, wing and cabin door installation, flight control system installation, avionics and brake system installation, test run and Avionics inspection according to standardized procedures Eight modules; the workload of each module is the same, which is four hours. Therefore, the production structure will move forward every four hours, just like our pulse. Therefore, my partner Mr. Owen and I named it pulse. "
It seems that in order to verify Evans's words, the indicator lights of the eight stations along the U-shaped structure suddenly turned on red, and the workers in the process of assembly immediately left the busy aircraft just now. Then, with the scheduling of the production supervisor of the factory, the aircraft of each station began to move along the U-shaped structure, and soon the aircraft entered the next station, and the workers continued to pay attention to the new arrival We're going to assemble the aircraft.
The factory door on the other side opened and a brand-new L162 aircraft was pushed out of the factory.
A group of European aviation enterprise leaders see this scene, the moment collective dull!
