Chapter 347 Boeing's coming to China

Three days later, Dongchen finally began the work of sorting and reloading for all the airlines in the mainland at Hongqiao Airport. Spring Airlines and China Eastern Airlines listed their best aircraft as the first choice for reloading. In this way, the replaced engine also has a good working condition, which can be reloaded to other aircraft, or provide maintenance parts after disassembly.

All major media across the country are very interested in this time's Dongchen engine replacement. In a maintenance hangar of Hongqiao Airport, a large number of reporters have already shouldered long guns and short guns, photographing the whole process of Dongchen technicians disassembling the original aircraft engine and hoisting the Dongchen dc11 engine.

Many overseas media also pay close attention to this event, because it means that Dongchen's aeroengine officially enters the world's aeroengine market, and it is actually put into operation. This Boeing 737300 of Spring Airlines is the first operating airliner in the world to lift Dongchen's engine, and Spring Airlines has also publicized this event. Tomorrow at 11:00 am , their flight 9c1056 will be worth the flight from Zhonghai Hongqiao to Yanjing capital airport at a minimum price of 400 yuan. At this time of the season, the minimum price of ordinary air tickets is about 500 yuan. Spring Airlines also claims that customers who have ordered air tickets according to the previous price will get 80% discount compensation for each.

This is equivalent to opening the curtain of cheap flight in the field of civil aviation in China. From today to the next month, the price of air tickets between Yanjing and Zhonghai will be reduced by at least 80%, while at the same time, the airlines will also get a higher profit margin than before.

In a row of ten days, a total of 28 aircraft have accepted the engine replacement of Dongchen in Hongqiao. The price of the whole route has declined on a large scale. In the golden stage, the ticket price has been maintained at about 400. In the morning and evening, the ticket price has dropped to 200-300 yuan. The seat rate of the whole route has increased dramatically. After the engine replacement, almost every special flight has its own special price The secondary attendance rate has reached more than 80%, and generally maintained at 95%.

The investment of a single engine has made the occupancy rate of civil aviation change so dramatically. The industry change in China has made the aviation system all over the world turn their eyes to China. Just because of the irreversible absolute advantage of Dongchen engine, Boeing and Airbus put forward cooperation talks to Dongchen almost at the same time.

Boeing and Airbus are two major manufacturers of civil aviation airliners. They are not involved in the manufacturing of aeroengines. Therefore, they believe that their interests do not conflict with Dongchen's, or even they can work together to create a better combination of higher profits. Boeing hopes to mass produce Boeing 737max10, which is the latest Boeing 737 series model, 737max10 As many as 340 start-up orders have been obtained worldwide. Boeing is ready to start production of 737max10 in a month. At this time, if it can reach the strategic cooperation goal with Dongchen, then for them, 737max10 will have unparalleled competitiveness in the field of small and medium-sized trunk airliners.

Airbus also has its own abacus. The latest A320 is also looking for a better engine to achieve higher fuel economy. Airbus also hopes to develop a higher thrust engine with Dongchen for Airbus's latest A330 series.

When Zhang Yunfeng received the cooperation and negotiation intention of the two companies, Zhang Yunfeng agreed different meeting time for the two companies. The meeting time with Boeing was three days later, and with Airbus was seven days later.

After receiving Dongchen's reply, Raymond, the president of Boeing civil aircraft group, immediately began to prepare for his trip to China. This time, he knew that Airbus would become the biggest competitor of Boeing and Dongchen's cooperation. Now, Dongchen's production capacity is limited. In this special period, whoever can get higher quota from Dongchen will have the opportunity to use the new aircraft to place the other party To die, or to inflict heavy damage on the opponent, but if the opponent takes the lead at this time, then the situation is very bad.

In order to negotiate with Dongchen this time, Raymond took Boeing's marketing director, Boeing's top chief designer and several investigators who knew the trend of the world's civil aviation field. At the same time, in order to better promote the relationship with Dongchen, Raymond specially took a Boeing's latest business jet, Boeing bbj3. It is worth mentioning that This bbj3 is the most advanced super luxury business aircraft of Boeing. It takes 737900 as the prototype, and the interior decoration is specially handed over to the refitting company to carry out a comprehensive luxury transformation, so that the aircraft that originally could accommodate nearly 200 people has only 30 passengers. Most of the space is used for luxury refitting design, such as the huge reception hall, restaurant and minibar, There are also luxurious master bedroom, three side bedrooms, bathroom and video room.

The total cost of this aircraft has reached 180 million US dollars, which is the most expensive one among the mass-produced business aircraft on the market at present. In addition, many super rich people like to buy Boeing 747, which is a large-scale airliner, and spend a lot of money on personal favorite transformation. Air force one of the United States is the most powerful example of 747 modification. Many rich people around the world All of them have their own private refitting machines. However, the transformation period of that kind of aircraft is too long for Boeing to complete. Therefore, Raymond took this brand-new BBJ 2 to China this time.

When Raymond's bbj2 landed at Hongqiao Airport, several directors of Dongchen hanggong went to the airport and received more than ten people from Raymond and his group from the office building taken over by Dongchen hanggong from COMAC. Zhang Yunfeng had been waiting here. After Raymond and his group were taken into the main reception room, Zhang Yunfeng and several assistants came to the reception room to meet Raymond.

Raymond has long heard that the actual person in charge of Dongchen is a young man, but the last time Zhang Yunfeng went to the United States from the Ministry of Commerce, Raymond did not pay too much attention to him. This time he met Zhang Yunfeng, he could not help politely praising Zhang Yunfeng's young and promising and Dongchen's remarkable technological strength.

After taking the seat, Zhang Yunfeng said to Raymond sitting beside him: "Boeing is the absolute giant in the field of civil aviation. Although Airbus has a rising trend in recent years, I always believe that Boeing represents the world's most high-end aircraft manufacturing strength, so I have great respect for Boeing group. This time, Mr. Raymond can come to China and come to China in person Dongchen hanggong is also a great honor for Dongchen. "

Zhang Yunfeng's politeness has greatly benefited Raymond's heart, and he did not put the bull boom on the shelf, but said very humbly: "although Dongchen only started in a short time of more than a year, but the vigorous development of Dongchen in this year has made the world see the birth of a huge financial and industrial empire. If we talk about the market I'm afraid that the whole Boeing, plus Airbus, plus Pratt & Whitney, general electric and Rolls Royce, will not be as good as Dongchen. "

It's true that the annual production capacity of 50 million cars of Dongchen has been put in front of us. The income and profit of Dongchen are far higher than that of any other company in the world. Now, Dongchen aviation industry has begun to make a bold start again. The price of an engine is 20 million US dollars. Even if only one thousand cars are built in a year, the revenue is 20 billion US dollars. If the production capacity is expanded to 3000 cars that Dongchen expects, then Then the revenue will reach 60 billion US dollars, which is only sales, not including the profits earned by providing technical support, maintenance support and spare parts support. So it seems that all the enterprises in the field of civil aviation can not compare with Dongchen.

Zhang Yunfeng smiled a little and said: "in recent years, we are also very concerned about the development of the civil aviation field. Airbus A380 has taken the lead in the past two years, but it has always been called" no win ". Although the popularity of Airbus has improved a lot, its relative production capacity and sales volume are still inferior to that of Boeing. The 747X plan of Boeing is stranded and 7478 is launched instead, which seems to have an impact on A380 With some improvement? "

Raymond smiled: "A380 is too big after all, at least a few routes can meet the conditions of operating this kind of super large aircraft. The so-called popularity is because it occupies the reputation of one of the world's largest civil aviation airliners, but the sales volume in recent years has not been very good, and customers also think that the waste of resources is too serious, so it is difficult to have a seat rate after the heat Guarantee, Boeing's 7478 is smaller than A380, but it is also more practical. In terms of global sales, the 747 series is still the core of large airliner. "

Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said: "Dongchen has always wanted to build its own fleet for various needs within the group, such as special planes and cargo planes. I personally prefer 7478. This time Mr. Raymond came to China, I also hope to sign several 7478 contracts with Boeing, but I don't know the current situation of Boeing. If we place an order, how long can we deliver it "

When Raymond heard that Zhang Yunfeng was buying airplanes from Boeing, he was very happy. This is Dongchen's tendency towards Boeing, which seems to be much greater than that of Airbus. Maybe it will be a signal of close cooperation between the two sides. Then Raymond said: "7478 has already received about 200 orders in the world, Sixty of them have been delivered. However, due to the Dongchen engine, many enterprises want to delay the delivery and wait for Dongchen to develop a high-powered engine, including Air China of China. Five of them are about to go offline, but because of the engine problem, they are temporarily stranded. "

Zhang Yunfeng said with a smile, "in this case, I can talk to Air China and take over these five 747 planes."

Dongchen has its own OEM factories in almost all parts of the world. Every time Zhang Yunfeng's fast cross-border transportation, he has to rent airplanes from domestic companies. The huge Dongchen has not yet established its own logistics system, which is a headache for Zhang Yunfeng. Now in Raymond, it happens to be in China. Zhang Yunfeng hopes to buy from Boeing first A group of new airplanes will set up Dongchen's own fleet to meet Dongchen's various needs.

Raymond immediately said that Boeing has many orders delayed in delivery, many of which are already in production or even offline. If Dongchen needs to, Boeing can resell these orders to Dongchen first. After all, these orders delayed in delivery are prior to the customer's default, and they don't want to get the aircraft too early, so reselling them to Dongchen is the best result, while Raymond also drives "If Dongchen decides to order airplanes from Boeing, our price can be reduced by 30 percent," he said

This is a huge discount. Take Boeing 7478 as an example. At the current exchange rate, a 7478 will cost about 350 million US dollars. If the price is
