Ma Fengshan is still very familiar with Mason Hand. When he was in the United States, he had the most exchanges with Mason Hand, the deputy chief designer of McDonald. The two often argued that their faces were blushing and their necks were thick.

Many of Ma Fengshan's aircraft testing solutions and design inspiration were obtained by arguing with this American old man who was about the same age as him.

People have boundaries and races, but academics have no boundaries.

At least, this guy Mason Hand is like that.

Perhaps, he was fired by McDonald's company because he revealed too many core technologies to the Chinese. Otherwise, with his old man Hand's experience in the aircraft design industry and his achievements, even if McDonald's bankruptcy is acquired by Boeing,

This aircraft designer who loves to twisted aircraft design should also be an aircraft designer at Boeing, rather than working in Pratt & Whitney, which is just studying aircraft propulsion systems...

The next words of Catherine confirmed Ma Fengshan’s conjecture.

"Mr. Hand left McDonald Company for some reason after the Gaozhunbi exchange meeting and joined Pratt & Whitney to become a project supervisor engineer..." Katherine didn't know much about these things.

Because when Hand entered Puhui, she was just an ordinary middle-level manager of Puhui Company.

Along the way, Ma Fengshan and Catherine were very dedicated to chatting. As Katherine, who specialized in receiving Yun Fei and her group, did not neglect Yun Fei and others. She set up some topics from time to time to bring Yun Fei and others into the topic of discussion.

, which made Yun Fei and others not feel neglected.

This woman was able to become the vice president of a huge high-tech company like Puhui at her forties, which was definitely not up to her body. At least, along the way, she exchanged a lot of professional and technical things with Ma Fengshan.

.

And these things are not those dead parameters.

The forty-minute drive passed quickly after the communication between Catherine and Ma Fengshan.

Yun Fei really wanted to ask about the relationship between Ma Fengshan and the Hand mentioned by Catherine, but Ma Fengshan ignored him at all. He felt like a cat was scratching his heart, and there was no way except to worry.

Pratt & Whitney was founded in the early 20th century and should be the earliest professional aircraft engine design and production company in the world. Their company's doors are not as majestic as some Chinese companies, and the huge factory area also looks very simple and simple.

It's old and from the outside, this company doesn't look like a high-tech company with annual turnover of billions of dollars.

When the convoy just arrived at the Pratt & Whitney's administrative building, Pratt & Whitney's president, Blackell, was leading several employees to wait at the door for Yun Fei and his group.

Before Catherine introduced her, one of the few people waiting for her, the gray-haired and short old man screamed exaggeratedly. Then he rushed towards Ma Fengshan. Ma Fengshan, who had always been serious, also laughed exaggeratedly.

, stepped forward and hugged this white old man who had a similar figure as him.

When Yun Fei saw this scene, he felt that there was only one word in his heart that could describe this - passionate!

It seems that this old man is what Catherine mentioned, Mason Hand, an aircraft designer who has a basic relationship with Ma Fengshan.

After some introduction, Blackell brought Yun Fei and his group to the conference room that had been arranged long ago.

This made everyone see the Americans' efficiency. After asking Yun Fei and his party whether they needed to go to the hotel for a rest and got a negative answer, they were ready to go straight to the point. After all, they were not facing those in China with a very strong

The heads of state-owned units and government departments who have made styles come out to talk about things, and the main purpose of travel and shopping is the guys.

Private enterprises emphasize efficiency.

Profit is their goal.

And for them, time is money.

"Everyone, we currently need low noise, low fuel consumption, and high efficiency environmentally friendly engines with thrust between 17,500 pounds and 22,500 pounds. Currently, we are developing new regional passenger aircraft with 90 to 110 seats, which is a carrying

A new regional passenger plane with 100 orders. For you, this is indeed not a big order..." Ma Fengshan directly expressed their purpose.

In terms of large aircraft, the engine is a core component and is also the most important part.

This is basically the most expensive part.

Although the arj-21 is a small regional passenger aircraft, the final market price is estimated to be around 30 million US dollars, but the price of two engines is between 4 million and 6 million US dollars.

A single engine, Ma Fengshan and others, basically have a budget of between two million and three million US dollars. If it is not negotiated, Yunfei can also accept the price of more than three million US dollars. After all, those large trunk lines

The market price of one engine is over $10 million.

China Eastern Airlines once purchased twenty Airbus A330-300 passenger aircraft from Airbus, using the Rawls Reyce Rida 700 engine, with a thrust of 67,500 pounds to 71,100 pounds, and a total price of 400 million.

Fifty million US dollars. This is just the price of the engine.

As the most core component of an aircraft, the price of an engine accounts for almost one-seventh to one-fifth of the total cost of an aircraft. It is inevitable that the engine cannot be produced by oneself and it is slaughtered by someone.

According to tradition, such a quantity of procurement can even introduce production technology to produce it yourself...

Unfortunately, China has always been the object of despised in these markets.

One hundred regional passenger planes, which is the number of regional aircraft that Yunfei plans to purchase in the next ten years. Many aircraft passenger transport is not the main one, and freight transport is the fat he is aware of. To their e-commerce,

Domestic air express business will see explosive growth in China in the next few years.

The total contract price of 200 engines is only between 400 million and 600 million US dollars. Although this amount exceeds one-fifth of P&W's sales in a year, the contract time is very long...

"For this demand of your company, our Pratt & Whitney JT8D-200 engine is fully suitable for thrust of 18,500-21,700 pounds. Most of the md-80 aircraft produced by McDonald's company use this engine.

There is absolutely no problem with frequent takeoffs between short-range cities. Moreover, this is the most environmentally friendly and highly reliable regional passenger aircraft engine in the world. "As soon as Katherine heard Ma Fengshan report their request, she quickly reported jt8d-200.

This engine is about to be eliminated by the aviation market.

"Also, the price of this kind of engine is less than 2.5 million US dollars per unit, which is definitely an excellent engine with high cost performance for Chinese users."

"Ms. Katherine, I don't think you know what we want. What we need is an advanced engine to help our planes fly in the sky, not an engine that is about to be eliminated by the aviation market. Also, according to our

Knowing that the price of each JT8D-200 engine purchased by Pratt & Whitney is not less than $2.5 million as you said, but $1.46 million per unit. If it needs to be so expensive

To purchase an engine that is almost outdated at the price, we might as well use the bass engine we introduced from Rolls Reus, the UK in the 1970s…” Hearing Katherine’s words, Ma Fengshan immediately laughed.

These guys really treat them as suckers.

"Mr. Ma, the price we sell to McDonald is so low. I think you should know better than us that the aircraft produced by the United States and Europe do not require us to research the government, and at the same time, they do not need our help to obtain it.

The US airworthiness license, the extra nearly one million US dollars is basically the research cost..." After Ma Fengshan knew their reserve price, Katherine had no embarrassment.

It is very difficult for Chinese people to purchase aircraft engines from the United States.

The former Soviet Union has collapsed, and Russian Russians have always been relying on the old capital left by the former Soviet Union and have not made much achievements in aircraft engine technology. Moreover, not much research funds have been invested in the development of military engines.

above.

In order to avoid the red empire challenging the authority of the United States again, and to prevent the entire world from being nervous and confronting due to different ideologies, it is inevitable that the United States will suppress China, the largest socialist country on earth. The purpose of who said socialism is to eliminate it.

The bourgeoisie, what about the system of exploitation? Do you know that most of the developed countries in the world are capitalist countries?

China is clearly trying to eliminate countries like them serving capitalists.

Therefore, suppressing China is necessary.

Moreover, the United States needs a powerful object to be suppressed to make their European brothers unite closely by their side. Polar bears were dragged down by their space war plan. In recent years, those European countries have begun to stay away from the United States and suppress them.

China, this is a must.

The Yellow Peril threat theory is basically fabricated by Americans.

"Ms. Catherine, maybe you don't know that the order for regional passenger aircraft in our hands was issued by our boss's Jiuyi Airlines. The whole world knows that our boss only likes to earn money from our own people, and only exports it to him.

He was not interested. So, what we needed was to obtain an airworthiness license issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China..." Jiang Jianxing only knew some simple communication in English, so he said this in Chinese.

Just kidding, if you want to export regional passenger planes, it is not very possible for the European and American markets.

Boeing's competition with Airbus is extremely fierce.
