Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

In the conference room, Xu Huasheng felt happy when he saw Frank agreeing to the second condition so happily. Because the second condition is the big hole Xu Huasheng dug for Boeing. As long as Boeing jumps in, it will be difficult to figure it out.

Because there are so many parts that China can produce now. For the 737 model, Xu Huasheng's people have already calculated the technology. China can provide all the parts for this aircraft. In other words, if it were not for issues such as patents, China would now be able to copy this aircraft one to one.

Therefore, even if China does not provide the most core parts for reasons of confidentiality and low-profile, then China can provide at least 80% of the parts for this aircraft.

This is Xu Huasheng's big move. After this move is executed, Boeing will be willing to fall into the pit. It is even possible that Boeing will relocate all its production lines to China.

"The third thing is actually very simple. We in China have developed a passenger aircraft, and we hope Boeing can help us obtain airworthiness certificates from the United States and Europe!"

In the room, as soon as Xu Huasheng's words came out, Frank's face instantly turned ugly.

Xu Huasheng was not in a hurry, but slowly took out the aircraft information from his bag and handed it to Frank. When Frank saw this aircraft, a smile immediately appeared on his ugly face, and he almost laughed impolitely.

Because this aircraft is not the passenger aircraft he imagined. It is an old-fashioned propeller aircraft. Boeing has long stopped making such aircraft.

This is a short- to medium-range regional passenger aircraft with a twin-turboprop engine, with a crew of 80 to 90 people, a commercial range of 1800 kilometers, a fully loaded passenger range of about 2300 kilometers, a maximum cruising speed of 500 kilometers per hour, and an economical cruising speed of only 430 kilometers per hour. , can be used for both passenger and cargo.

Looking at this information, Frank only had two words in his mind: falling behind.

This aircraft is very backward. It has a turboprop engine with poor performance and a traditional aluminum alloy fuselage. The aircraft has a short flying distance, slow flight speed and backward performance. This thing is something that Boeing eliminated decades ago.

"Mr. Xu, no problem. If it's this kind of aircraft, we can help with this and even sell you some parts..."

Frank said directly after reading the information. For Boeing, such an aircraft is not even qualified to be a competitor.

There are too many manufacturers around the world that can produce this kind of aircraft. A few decades ago, there would have been some market for this kind of aircraft. But now that jet airliner technology has matured, this kind of aircraft can only find a small market in poorer countries, which is not a big deal for Boeing.

And if Boeing can use Xu Huasheng's order to completely open the door to China's aviation industry, then China's vast market will be Boeing's back garden in the future.

"Mr. Frank, thank you. If these three conditions are OK, we will start formal talks..."

Xu Huasheng said with a smile, but he was snickering in his heart. Three conditions create three pits, one deeper than the other.

Once you enter the first pit, Boeing will see the work efficiency and production costs of Chinese workers. The same aircraft may take three months to produce at Boeing, but it may be manufactured in two months or even one and a half months at the Chinese factory.

Not only is it fast, but the assembly cost is also low. In the United States, it may cost Boeing $1000 million to assemble an aircraft. But to switch to China, it may only cost 500 million US dollars or even 300 million US dollars.

With such a huge cost difference, Xu Huasheng didn't believe that Boeing wouldn't be tempted. As long as Boeing is interested, more and more Boeing products will be produced by Xu Huasheng's foundry in the future.

Seeing Boeing reducing costs like this, Airbus will have no choice but to follow suit. Because the manufacturing costs of its own aircraft will increase significantly, Boeing cannot beat Boeing in a price war. Once Airbus follows suit, things will be fine. If everything goes well, Xu Huasheng can slowly empty out their assembly capabilities and make Huaxia a large aircraft OEM.

The second pitfall is that Boeing will realize the cost-effectiveness of spare parts produced by China. For parts of the same quality, the price of spare parts produced by China may be only two-thirds or even lower than those produced by other companies. Faced with such parts, Xu Huasheng did not believe that Boeing would not be tempted. This is an artifact that greatly reduces the cost of aircraft manufacturing.

Using all parts from Huaxia, the manufacturing cost of an aircraft can even be reduced by half. If it is assembled in a Huaxia factory, the cost will be further reduced. In this way, Boeing and Airbus will be more confident to fight a price war and seize the global market.

The first two pits were enough for Boeing to step into the trap dug by Xu Huasheng and sink deeper and deeper. It will be difficult to escape in the future. Once the aircraft manufacturing industry is transferred, it will be difficult to recover. Skilled workers, in particular, are very valuable in the aircraft manufacturing industry.

Aircraft manufacturing is not like cars, which can be heavily automated. In the aircraft manufacturing process, the welding of the fuselage also requires traditional riveting processes, which requires a large number of skilled workers.

As for the third pitfall, Frank wouldn't be able to figure it out even if he tried hard. Because the last pit was too deep, Frank went back with the data on this aircraft and randomly found experts to demonstrate. The data were all the same, and the technology was all the same.

The technology is backward, the comfort is poor, the noise is loud, the range is short, and it is uncompetitive. These are the characteristics of this aircraft.

But in fact this is not the case. As long as the aircraft obtains the airworthiness certificate, Saxo Airlines can replace the aircraft with a new turboprop engine. The biggest advantage of the new turboprop engine is fuel economy. This engine is an engine deduced by Xu Huasheng's heaven-defying brain and all the technical data in his brain.

Calculated according to the age of technology, it is at least the technology of 2035.

But the technology of the turboprop engines in the technical information Xu Huasheng gave Frank now cannot even keep up with Boeing's technology 1970 years ago. The technology is at most .

The two engines are almost the same size, but their technology differs by as much as sixty-five years.

所以这款飞机安装新款发动机后，这架螺旋桨飞机的满载航程将会提升到3400公里。同时经济巡航速度将会从430公里提升到630公里，最大巡航速度将会从500公里提升到700公里每小时。

At the same time, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers will be greatly reduced, the operating cost per 100 kilometers will be greatly reduced, the engine life will be greatly increased, the engine noise will be greatly reduced, the engine failure rate will also be greatly reduced, and at the same time, the engine power will be improved a lot. This makes the takeoff distance of this aircraft shorter.
