Three days later, Dongchen finally started the sorting and replacement work for all mainland airlines at China Shipping Hongqiao Airport. Spring Airlines and China Eastern Airlines both listed their aircraft in the best condition as the first choice for replacement. In this way, the replacement
The engine is also in very good working condition and can be installed on other aircraft or disassembled to provide repair parts.
Major media across the country are very interested in Dongchen engine replacement. In a maintenance hangar at Hongqiao Airport, a large number of reporters have already taken photos of Dongchen technicians disassembling the original aircraft engine.
The whole process of hoisting the Dongchen DC11 engine.
Many overseas media are also paying close attention to this incident, because it means that Dongchen's aero-engine has officially entered the world aero-engine market and has actually been put into operation. This Spring Airlines Boeing 737300 is the first hoisted Dongchen in the world.
The engine is operating a passenger aircraft, and Spring Airlines has also heavily publicized this incident. At 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, their flight 9c1056 will fly from China Sea Hongqiao to Yanjing Capital Airport at a minimum ticket price of 400 yuan.
For flights, at this time of the season, the lowest price for a regular air ticket is about 500 yuan. Spring Airlines also announced that customers who have booked air tickets at the previous price will receive an 80% discount as compensation.
This is equivalent to opening the curtain of low-cost flights in the domestic civil aviation field. From today to the next month, the flight ticket price between Yanjing and China Shipping will drop by at least 80%. While falling,
.Airlines have also gained higher profit margins than before.
For ten consecutive days, a total of 28 aircraft received Dongchen's engine replacement in Hongqiao. The price of the entire route has dropped significantly. The ticket price during the prime period has remained at around 400. The ticket price for the morning and evening periods,
It has dropped to the range of 200 to 300 yuan, and the occupancy rate of the entire route has increased dramatically. The occupancy rate of almost every flight on the special flight after the replacement of the engine has reached more than 80%, and is generally maintained at the 95% level.
The investment in one engine alone has caused such a drastic change in the attendance rate of civil aviation. The industry changes that have taken place in the country have caused aviation systems around the world to turn their eyes to China. It is precisely because they have seen that Dongchen engines are irreversible
The absolute advantage. Boeing and Airbus proposed cooperation talks to Dongchen at almost the same time.
Boeing and Airbus, two big-name civil aviation manufacturers, are not involved in the manufacturing of aviation engines. Therefore, they believe that their interests do not conflict with Dongchen's, and the two can even work together to create higher profits.
An excellent combination. Boeing hopes that the Boeing 737max10 will be mass-produced soon. This is also Boeing’s latest model of the Boeing 737 series. The 737max10 has received as many as 340 start-up orders worldwide. Boeing is preparing to launch the 737max10 in one month.
The production of the 737max10 has begun. At this time, if they can achieve strategic cooperation goals with Dongchen, then for them, the 737max10 will have unparalleled competitiveness in the field of small and medium-sized mainline passenger aircraft.
Airbus also has its own calculations. The latest A320 is also looking for better engines to achieve higher fuel economy, and Airbus also hopes to develop higher thrust engines with Dongchen. It is used in Airbus’ latest
of the a330 series.
When Zhang Wenhao received the unanimous intention to negotiate cooperation from the two companies, Zhang Wenhao arranged different meeting times for the two companies. The meeting time with Boeing was set in three days, and the meeting time with Airbus was set in
Seven days later.
After receiving Dongchen's reply, Raymond, President of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, immediately began to prepare for his trip to China. This time, he knew clearly that Airbus would become Boeing's biggest competitor in cooperation with Dongchen. Dongchen is now
The production capacity is limited. In this special period, whoever can get a higher quota from Dongchen will have the opportunity to use new aircraft to kill the opponent or severely damage the opponent. But if the opponent takes the lead at this time, then the situation will be
This is very bad.
For this negotiation with Dongchen, Raymond brought along Boeing's marketing director, Boeing's top chief designer, and several Boeing investigators who are well aware of the trends in the world's civil aviation field. At the same time, in order to better
In order to promote the relationship with Dongchen, Raymond specially took a ride on Boeing's latest business jet, Boeing bbj3, this time. It is worth mentioning that this bbj3 is Boeing's top ultra-luxury business jet, based on the 737900.
, the interior has also been specially handed over to a modification company, which has undergone a comprehensive luxury transformation, so that the aircraft that could originally accommodate nearly 200 people now has only a mere 30 passengers, and most of the space is used for
Luxuriously renovated design, huge living room, dining room, minibar, extremely luxurious master bedroom, three side bedrooms, bathroom and audio-visual room.
The total cost of this aircraft reached US$180 million, making it the most expensive mass-produced business aircraft currently on the market. In addition, many super-rich people like to buy large passenger aircraft such as the Boeing 747, and
Spending a lot of money to modify personal preferences, the United States Air Force One is the most powerful example of 747 modification. Many rich people around the world also have their own private modified aircraft. However, the modification period of that kind of aircraft is too long, and Boeing itself cannot do it at all.
Completed, so Raymond took this brand new bbj2 to China this time.
When Raymond's bbj2 landed at Hongqiao Airport, several managers from Dongchen Aviation went to the airport to pick up Raymond and his group of more than ten people to the office building that Dongchen Aviation took over from COMAC, and Zhang Wenhao
They kept waiting here. After Raymond and his party were brought into the main reception room, Zhang Wenhao and several assistants came to the reception room to meet Raymond.
Raymond had long heard that the actual person in charge of Dongchen was a young man. However, when Zhang Wenhao went to the United States last time, Raymond did not pay too much attention to him. This time when he saw Zhang Wenhao, he could not avoid it.
He politely praised Zhang Wenhao for being young and promising, as well as Dongchen’s world-renowned scientific and technological strength.
After taking his seat, Zhang Wenhao said to Raymond sitting next to him: "Boeing is an absolute giant in the field of civil aviation. Although Airbus has been on the rise in recent years, I personally have always believed that Boeing represents the most high-end aircraft manufacturing in the world.
strength, so I personally have great respect for the Boeing Group. It is also a great honor for Dongchen that Mr. Raymond can come to China in person and come to Dongchen Aviation this time."
Zhang Wenhao's politeness greatly benefited Raymond. However, he did not become arrogant because of this, but said very humbly: "Although Dongchen started his business in just over a year,
However, Dongchen’s vigorous development over the past year has allowed the world to see the birth of a huge financial and industrial empire. In terms of market value, capital and revenue capabilities, the entire Boeing, plus Airbus, plus Pratt & Whitney,
General Electric and Rolls-Royce are probably not as good as Dongchen."
This is true. Dongchen's annual automobile production capacity of 50 million units is already in front of us, and its revenue and profits are definitely far higher than any other company in the world. Now, Dongchen Aviation has begun to emerge again, with an engine costing 20 million dollars.
At the selling price, even if only 1,000 units are built a year, there will still be revenue of 20 billion US dollars. If the production capacity is expanded to the 3,000 units that Dongchen predicts, then the revenue will reach 60 billion US dollars. This is just sales.
, does not include the profits earned from providing technical support, maintenance support and spare parts support. It seems that these companies in the civil aviation field combined are not as good as Dongchen.
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "We have also paid great attention to the development of the civil aviation field in recent years. The Airbus A380 has stolen the limelight in the past two years, but it has always been well received but not popular. Although Airbus's popularity has increased a lot.
But the relative production capacity and sales volume are still inferior to those of Boeing. Boeing's 747x plan was shelved and the 7478 was launched instead. It seems that the impact on the A380 has been improved to a certain extent?"
Raymond smiled slightly and said: "The A380 is too big after all. At least a very small number of routes can meet the conditions for operating this super large aircraft. The so-called popularity is because it has the reputation of being the world's largest civil aviation passenger aircraft. However, these few
The sales volume of the year has not been very good, and customers have also reported that the waste of resources is too serious, and it is difficult to guarantee the occupancy rate after the heat is over. Although Boeing's 7478 is smaller than the A380, it is also more practical.
Judging from the sales situation, the 747 series is still the core of large passenger aircraft."
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "Dongchen has always wanted to build his own fleet for various needs within the group, such as special planes, cargo planes, etc. I personally prefer the 7478. This time Mr. Raymond comes to China, I
We also hope to sign a contract with Boeing for several 7478s, but we don’t know the current situation with Boeing. If we place an order, how long will it take to deliver it.”
Raymond was elated when he heard that Zhang Wenhao actually wanted to purchase aircraft from Boeing in his polite words. This is Dongchen's preference for Boeing. It seems to be far greater than his preference for Airbus. Perhaps, this will be a close relationship between the two parties.
A signal of cooperation, Raymond then said: "The 7478 has received about two hundred orders around the world, and sixty have been delivered. However, because of the Dongchen engine, many companies want to delay delivery and wait for Dongchen to develop
Engines with high thrust include China's Air China. They have five 7478s that are about to roll off the production line, but they are temporarily stranded due to engine problems."
Zhang Wenhao smiled and said: "In this case, I can talk to Air China and take over these five 747s."
Dongchen has its own OEM factories almost all over the world. Zhang Wenhao has to rent aircraft from domestic companies for every fast cross-border transportation. The huge Dongchen has not yet established its own logistics system. Zhang Wenhao has always been the one.
The more troublesome thing is that Raymond happens to be in China now. Zhang Wenhao really hopes to buy a batch of new aircraft from Boeing to form Dongchen's own fleet to meet Dongchen's various needs.
Raymond immediately said that Boeing now has many delayed delivery orders, many of which are already in production or even offline. If Dongchen needs it, Boeing can resell these orders to Dongchen first. After all, these delayed deliveries
The customer defaulted on the order first. They did not want to get the aircraft too early, so reselling it to Dongchen was the best result. Raymond also said: "If Dongchen decides to order the aircraft from Boeing, we will
The price of aircraft can be reduced by 30%."
This is a very huge discount. Take the Boeing 7478 as an example. At the current exchange rate, a 7478 costs about 350 million U.S. dollars. If the price drops by 30%, then Boeing’s profit will exceed 100 million U.S. dollars.
.
Zhang Wenhao was naturally very satisfied with Raymond's generosity, and immediately nodded and said with a smile: "If this is the case, then Dongchen will start preparing for the formation of the fleet in the near future. When the time comes, I will ask our relevant person in charge to contact you.
Contact us."
Raymond nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, I will wait for Dongchen's order information." As he said that, he changed the topic and brought the topic to Dongchen's engine, and said: "Mr. Zhang
.Boeing hopes to have strategic cooperation with Dongchen at the engine level. I wonder if you are interested in this?"
"Yes." Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "Of course I have this idea. Mr. Raymond might as well tell Boeing's intentions."
Raymond said with a smile: "At present, Dongchen's production capacity is far from enough to cope with the global market. Therefore, I think it is impossible for Dongchen to open engine supply to Boeing and Airbus in a short period of time. Therefore,
Boeing hopes that before Dongchen does not have sufficient production capacity, the limited quota can be allocated to Boeing first. It would be great if it could be exclusively authorized to Boeing."
Zhang Wenhao pretended to think for a moment and said with a smile: "Dongchen's biggest problem now is insufficient production capacity, and Dongchen now divides its customers into two parts. One part is aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus. The other part is the global
Airlines from all over the world have a greater demand for the latter. After all, there are tens of thousands of passenger planes in the world, so we may focus our energy on them first."
Raymond hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, Boeing can purchase engines from Dongchen at a unified price. Therefore, Dongchen's sale to airlines or to Boeing will have no impact on Dongchen, but it will have no impact on Boeing."
But it’s something of great significance.”
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. By the way, Mr. Raymond, how many aircraft is Boeing's annual output now?"
Raymond said: "If you don't count this large-scale delay in delivery, our annual output is about 650, of which the Boeing 737 series accounts for 450, which is our top priority, and the 737
series, what we need most is a brand-new engine like the DC11. Of course, if Dongchen can increase the thrust of the DC11 for us, so that the thrust of a single engine can reach 12,000 kilograms, we can also have wonderful results for the larger models of the 737.
support.”
Zhang Wenhao smiled and said: "This is not difficult. We can easily improve the dc11 to a thrust of less than 15,000 kilograms. This is why Dongchen has given the dc11 such a model. dc means Dongchen, and dc1 means Dongchen level 1 engine. The thrust
Covering small and medium-sized passenger aircraft, and of course medium-sized passenger aircraft, we plan to produce the dc12 in the near future, which is a high-thrust version of the dc11, increasing the thrust to about 13,000 kilograms."
"Great!" Raymond said hurriedly: "If this is the case, then the two models of dc112 can perfectly support all 737 series models."
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "Perfect support is correct, but our current production capacity is too limited and we are in the second phase of production capacity expansion. Therefore, I think even if we sign a cooperation agreement, Dongchen will not really export engines to Boeing until at least three years ago."
It will be months later.”
"That's no problem." Raymond didn't care about the three-month deadline. Unlike Zhang Wenhao, Zhang Wenhao didn't have enough patience to wait for natural growth, so he had to constantly find ways to speed up his progress.
For a company like Boeing, it takes several years to design an aircraft model, and several more years from design to test flight to put into operation. They can be said to be the most patient manufacturer in the world. Three months is a long time for them.
Not only does it not feel long, but it feels too short.
Immediately, Zhang Wenhao said: "If we both sign a contract, then Dongchen will need to add a special clause to the contract."
Raymond said hurriedly: "You say."
Zhang Wenhao said lightly: "That is, Boeing is not allowed to sell aircraft equipped with Dongchen engines to Japanese and Korean airlines."
Raymond suddenly remembered the decision that Dongchen made that shocked the world, which was to tell the world that it would completely abandon the Japanese and Korean markets.
But Raymond thought it was only for cars. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wenhao decided to ban the sale of aircraft engines to Japan and South Korea.
Raymond couldn't help but said: "Actually, it is very difficult for you and me to prevent this kind of thing."
"Why?" Zhang Wenhao asked in surprise.
Raymond said: "In today's world, except for military products, most products are freely circulating in the market. Even if Boeing does not sell the aircraft to Japanese and Korean airlines, they can still sell them to other airlines.
They purchase from here, or even place orders directly with Boeing from airlines of other countries with whom they have good entrustment relationships.”
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "Once Dongchen engines start exporting, I will definitely announce to the world that all airlines that privately resell Dongchen engines or aircraft equipped with Dongchen engines to Japanese and Korean companies
Companies will be completely included in Dongchen's blacklist. Dongchen will not provide them with any engines or spare parts, and will force other companies to block companies on the blacklist. Who will block Dongchen?
Anyone who turns a blind eye will be on Dongchen's blacklist!"...)
