Aircraft manufacturing is not a profitable industry to begin with. Development costs are extremely high, and the R&D and production cycles are extremely slow. This year, we invested one billion U.S. dollars to start a research and development project for a new aircraft model. Perhaps three years later, the billion U.S. dollars will be spent and the civil aviation market will be discovered.
If there is a change, immediately stop or switch to other projects. An aircraft ordered for US$100 million this year may not be produced and sold to others until three years later. If the intermediate US dollar depreciates, then this order may be lost after delivery.
Losing money, this industry seems to be very high-end and impressive, but in terms of profitability, ten Airbuses combined are not as good as one Google, twenty Airbuses combined are barely on par with Facebook, and Apple’s
The annual profitability is equivalent to at least thirty Airbuses.
Those who make airplanes can only make money if they don’t sell mobile phones and computers. It’s not even as profitable as a website. You can imagine how hard this industry is. Even those companies that make world-class fighter jets and bombers sound awesome.
No, but in fact it is not that glamorous. Although the government invests in R&D, this is because the products cannot be exported or cannot be exported at will, so the R&D costs are paid by the government. When it comes to the production process, the company basically has to bear the responsibility.
Profit and loss.
If the U.S. government gives Lockheed Martin 10 billion U.S. dollars to develop an F40 fighter jet, and after Lockheed Martin develops it, assuming that the price of an F40 is 1 billion U.S. dollars, the U.S. government will say: Okay
Well, I'll give you 100 billion US dollars to order a hundred aircraft first. Lockheed Martin will definitely wave their hands and say: Come on, you are right, although it is one billion US dollars per aircraft. 100 billion US dollars is also 100 aircraft.
, but it will take a long time to manufacture one hundred aircraft. If the value of the US dollar depreciates, not only will you not make a penny from this order worth 100 billion US dollars, but you will also have to lose all your pants.
When this happens, a floating contract from the U.S. government must be obtained. In other words, although the price is one billion U.S. dollars per unit, the delivery must be based on the current currency value and the purchasing power of one billion U.S. dollars when the contract is signed.
Re-evaluate, if the currency depreciates, increase the purchase price. Only in this way can profitability be ensured.
This kind of hard business, even if Zhang Wenhao monopolized all the civil aviation aircraft in the world, would not be as profitable as Dongchen Electronics just selling some univeal, but Zhang Wenhao still placed it in an extremely important position, not trying to make money, just
To vent his anger, Zhang Wenhao must start his own aircraft manufacturing project even if he loses money.
It is with this mentality that Zhang Wenhao deliberately dug a big hole in front of Airbus, and also dug a big hole behind Boeing. What he could foresee was that once Airbus collapsed, the Europeans would definitely not have the strength to continue.
To maintain Airbus' debt and loss-making operations, they are already in an economic depression environment, and their automobile industry has suffered a great impact, and the economic situation has become a bit more severe. If Airbus fails, and they are in
If the time is right to take action, I am afraid that even if the Europeans sell Airbus at a bargain price, they will never let it rot in their own hands.
With this idea in mind, Zhang Wenhao boarded his bbj2 business jet, took off from China Sea, and flew directly to Seattle, USA, where Boeing's headquarters and most of its production lines are located.
This time Zhang Wenhao's plan to go to the United States was made public, and the American media had already covered it extensively, because as far as Americans are concerned, they believe that Dongchen is a company with very good relations with the United States. Back then, Dongchen Automobile Co., Ltd.
When it came to destroying the Quartet, Dongchen took the lead in using a gentle entry policy in the United States. It did not attack local automobile manufacturing companies, but cooperated with local companies. This made Americans more fond of Dongchen. Then, Dongchen Airlines
Dongchen has also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Boeing, which has further strengthened Americans' favorable impression of Dongchen. Now, Dongchen can be said to be the overseas enterprise with the best reputation and the most favorable opinion in the eyes of the American people.
This time, Dongchen will take the lead in opening Dongchen engine export business to American airlines. This fact makes the Americans even more happy.
Some American media even said that Dongchen has now become half a local company in the United States. No Chinese or overseas company has ever been so highly recognized and respected in the United States. To Americans, it is like
It is the Apple Group from China and has a strong sense of intimacy.
Zhang Wenhao doesn't care whether he feels friendly or not. In fact, what he wants to earn most is foreign exchange. Cooperating more closely with American companies will be of great benefit to his money-making plans. Who makes him the world's largest economy.
When Zhang Wenhao's plane was about to land in Seattle, the American media had already set up long guns and short guns next to the airport runway. Even the tower had reporters reporting on the scene. When the captain of Zhang Wenhao's plane asked the tower to land, cnn
The reporter excitedly said to the camera: "Due to the super economical performance of Dongchen aviation engines, now, not only Boeing, but all airlines and airports in the United States are waiting for the arrival of the person in charge of Dongchen. Seattle Airport usually
It was extremely busy, but air traffic control gave the Dongchen special plane the highest treatment and gave it priority to land on runway 1. Every airline in the United States can’t wait to become Dongchen Aviation’s first overseas customer. The aviation system in the United States
They all believe that Dongchen’s trip to the United States will usher in an era.”
There were countless reporters around the runway. Their cameras pointed straight at the sky, capturing every aircraft that appeared in the sky. When Dongchen's aircraft painted with Dongchen's logo appeared in the sky, everyone
All the cameras were focused on the plane that was about to land, and the scene was noisy.
Ten minutes later, the plane landed smoothly on the runway. When Zhang Wenhao stepped off the plane, Boeing President Raymond and the mayor of Seattle were the first to greet him. Zhang Wenhao and Raymond shook hands cordially, giving people a warm welcome.
It felt like they were comrades sharing life and death. The photos of the two shaking hands and smiling at each other appeared in major newspapers and media across the United States that day. The American media all called this day a milestone in changing American civil aviation. However,
Soon after, they dug up the photo again and called this day a milestone that changed global civil aviation...
U.S. government officials rarely participate in corporate activities. Especially when foreign companies come to the country, very few government officials go to the airport to greet them. This is also the first time for Seattle Mayor Gilberto. He has only greeted them at the airport in the past.
It was the first time for a senior official in Washington and a foreign dignitary to welcome the person in charge of a foreign company. However, he did not feel awkward at all, nor did he feel that he had lost his status at all. After all, Dongchen Group is now the world's largest company in terms of market value and profitability.
Top companies that are all ranked number one.
After experiencing a grand welcome ceremony at the airport, Zhang Wenhao did not accept an interview with reporters. He simply gave a speech at the airport. The content was also very simple. It was nothing more than the main purpose of his coming to the United States this time, and he also said some hopes to be able to communicate with reporters.
Good wishes for closer cooperation between American enterprises.
After completing the formalities, Zhang Wenhao followed Boeing's fleet directly to Boeing's headquarters in Seattle. Raymond first accompanied Zhang Wenhao to visit Boeing's production line in Seattle. Boeing is worthy of being the world's largest aircraft manufacturer. The majestic aircraft production line is indeed
It is incomparable to other industrial manufacturing, including all kinds of advanced equipment. Even Zhang Wenhao is not able to obtain it.
While accompanying Zhang Wenhao to visit the Boeing 747-8 production line, Raymond said: "The aircraft ordered by Dongchen will be delivered next month, but I don't know when Dongchen's high-thrust engine will be rolled off the production line?"
Zhang Wenhao smiled calmly and said: "The dc2 series engines will be rolled off the production line next month. By then, they can meet the needs of medium and large passenger aircraft such as Boeing 747-8, 767, 777 and 787. The fuel economy will not be inferior to that of dc1-1."
, and it is fully qualified for the 180-minute etops standard, and is even several times stronger than it. It is definitely the best choice for international transoceanic flights.”
Raymond was overjoyed and said: "Zhang, since Boeing signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Dongchen, all our 737 orders have been changed to Dongchen engine configuration by users, and the production of Airbus A320 has dropped by half, but we
However, it has received more orders for the 737. If Dongchen's high-thrust engines are successfully rolled off the production line and obtain airworthiness certificates, then Airbus will really be on the verge of death."
Zhang Wenhao laughed and said: "This is the role of strategic cooperation, but I hope that Boeing will strictly abide by the additional agreements in the contract between us and will never sell aircraft equipped with Dongchen engines to airlines in Japan and South Korea."
"
Raymond said firmly: "Boeing will never do anything that violates the contract, not to mention that we are strategic partners!"
Zhang Wenhao added: "By the way, remember to include Australia."
Raymond looked surprised and asked curiously: "Why should Australia be included?"
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "You don't need to ask more, just add him in."
Raymond also heard that Dongchen Univeal had recently stopped selling to Australia. The whole world was also speculating about what exactly Australia had offended Dongchen. Although he didn't know the reason, he also knew Dongchen's attitude and style of telling the truth, so he
He nodded and agreed.
Zhang Wenhao asked: "How many orders do Australian airlines have with Boeing?"
"Qantas alone has more than 20 aircraft." Raymond said: "Their fleet is probably close to 200 aircraft, 75% of which are Boeing passenger aircraft and cargo aircraft of various types, which we are about to deliver.
There should be five of their 737s in this batch, and there are also 787s in addition."
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "I think you should inform them that these aircraft will not be equipped with Dongchen engines."
Raymond nodded cheerfully and said with a smile: "Australia has never been our main customer. Their digestion ability is far worse than that of Japan Airlines. We even gave up on Japan Airlines and don't care about them."
Zhang Wenhao glanced at Raymond and said with a smile: "Mr. Raymond, don't sound like you are cutting a piece of meat for Dongchen. Japan has always had a close relationship with the United States. 80% of the aircraft in their airline fleet are
Produced by Boeing, I just won’t let you sell them aircraft equipped with Dongchen engines. They are still ordering various original models and engine configurations from you. The same is true for South Korea. Therefore, you are in the two markets of Japan and South Korea.
, there is no loss.”
Raymond laughed and said: "Mr. Zhang's understanding is indeed very thorough, haha. Even if we do not sell aircraft equipped with Dongchen engines to Japan, South Korea and Australia, our other aircraft will still have the same competitiveness as before with them.
This is indeed true." Then he hurriedly changed the topic and said with a look of longing: "As soon as Dongchen's engines arrive, the eighty 737 series aircraft that Boeing has rolled off the production line but not yet delivered can be directly delivered to users. At the same time,
, we decided to increase production capacity to 130% of the design capacity. We also built two new production lines in Seattle, one for the production of the 737 series and one for the production of the 787 series, to capture the orders flowing out of Airbus."
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "In the press conference later, I will announce to the world that Dongchen will provide Boeing with 10 Dongchen engines every day starting from three days later. If the ratio of twin-engine aircraft to four-engine aircraft is 3:1,
If the ratio is matched, Boeing can ensure that it can complete the production of three twin-engine aircraft and one four-engine aircraft every day."
Raymond was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile: "Our maximum annual output is only about 700 aircraft. Your engine supply even exceeds our actual needs. However, in the early stage, this quantity is still in short supply. After all, we have
There are many aircraft that have not yet been delivered."
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "It is because of the fact that Boeing still has a large number of aircraft that have not been delivered. That's why I gave Boeing such a high quota. When all your backlog of orders are delivered, I will reduce the engine quota to meet Boeing's actual needs.
Then transfer the reduced quota to the airlines."
Raymond was overjoyed and said gratefully: "Zhang, you are really Boeing's most important partner. I think our cooperation will definitely change the development of the entire world's civil aviation system!"
Zhang Wenhao laughed and said: "Mr. Raymond, the decline of Airbus is irreversible. Boeing must speed up the production pace at this time to quickly absorb all Airbus users. By that time, the field of civil aviation aircraft manufacturing will be
It’s really just Boeing.”
Of course, Raymond could not imagine that Dongchen was also brewing an aircraft manufacturing plan. Therefore, he always regarded Dongchen as the most important cooperative enterprise and never thought that this cooperative enterprise would have the potential threat of becoming a competitor.
, after all, aircraft engines and complete aircraft manufacturing are not the same field at all. There is almost no common technology between them, and the probability of transformation is almost zero. Boeing has long planned to increase production capacity and build new production lines, but this is exactly what Zhang Wenhao wants. Now Boeing
They have monopoly dreams for the future, which will allow them to expand at a far higher than normal development rate. The greater the expansion, the greater the mess they will leave in the future.
After visiting the Boeing production line, Zhang Wenhao and Raymond jointly held a press conference at Boeing headquarters. The main focus of this press conference was the cooperation between Dongchen and Boeing, so the person in charge of the airline was not invited.
There were a large number of media present, and as soon as Zhang Wenhao appeared at the venue, he immediately became the focus of the news media.
Nearly two months ago, this young oriental man stood alone on the stage, holding a Univeal-U4, which shocked the world and ushered in a new era of integration of smartphones and computers. Now, he is here.
When he arrived at Boeing, he had to join forces with Boeing to usher in an era. The innovations brought about by this man have already surpassed those of Steve Jobs when he was at the height of his popularity.
The press conference did not accept interviews from the media at the beginning. Boeing, as the host, first explained its current development situation and the innovations and changes that would be brought about after cooperating with Dongchen. However, Zhang Wenhao opened his mouth and let the United States present
The media cheered.
“When I came to the United States this time, I brought 40% of Dongchen Aviation’s production capacity, and I have two main purposes, which is to hand over half of the production capacity to Boeing and the other half to American airlines. Dongchen Aviation
Chen Aviation will be the first to open exports in the United States and the first to open an order window in the United States. At that time, 20 engines will be shipped to the United States every day, 10 will be delivered to Boeing, and the other 10 will be delivered to American airlines."
After mainland China airlines switched to Dongchen engines, their occupancy rates have been greatly improved compared to before, while costs have dropped by 40%. Even if the fares have been reduced by 20%, the airlines have still retained 20% of their profits.
Moreover, the increase in occupancy has allowed the airline's profits to increase again on the basis of 20%, which is even more powerful. The United States is the country with the most developed civil aviation, and aviation is the most popular mode of transportation in the United States. Therefore, this kind of innovation has no impact on the United States.
It is particularly important in terms of airlines and allergies. When Zhang Wenhao said these words, it is understandable that the American media was extremely excited.
On the contrary, the European media, Japanese and Korean media are very depressed. Europeans love their Airbus, but Dongchen intends to cooperate with Boeing to squeeze Airbus out of business. The Japanese and Koreans hope that their domestic civil aviation can also accept this
This is an opportunity for innovation, but Dongchen has no intention of selling any products to Japan and South Korea. Seeing that the United States will receive a large number of quotas from Dongchen, these people feel very unhappy.
After the cheers from the American reporters in the audience gradually subsided, Zhang Wenhao added: "Today, on behalf of Dongchen, I will sign a contract with Mr. Raymond of the Boeing Group. In the next hundred days, Dongchen will
Provide ten aircraft engines to Boeing, with a delivery cycle of ten days, one hundred units each time. Three days later, one hundred engines will be airlifted to Seattle. I think that aviation companies around the world have already placed orders with Boeing.
The company will soon be able to obtain Boeing passenger aircraft equipped with Dongchen engines."
Raymond signed the contract template Zhang Wenhao brought with Zhang Wenhao on the spot. The content of the contract was very biased towards Dongchen. The various terms did not restrict Dongchen in any way. Instead, they restricted Boeing to 24 days after delivery.
Full payment is completed within hours. From a legal perspective, Dongchen can stop providing engines to Boeing at any time without paying any legal liability.
Boeing has no objection to this. They have long experienced Dongchen's special tactics, which are extremely tough. In any cooperation and transaction, they need to take the absolute initiative. For them, they can get the engines exclusively provided by Dongchen.
This is already a great thing, but who dares to set various rules and regulations for Dongchen to restrain him?
