Chapter 60 Muddy Waters

"McDow misjudged the development trend in the aviation field. The reform of the Etops clause is now the general trend. I heard an old friend talk about it a while ago that McDow's sales expectations for the md11 wide-body passenger aircraft have been reduced from 500 to 300, and the pre-research for the next generation of passenger aircraft has been restarted..."

Zhou Yuanhang was responsible for the overall development of Gulfstream passenger aircraft and dealt with relevant personnel and manufacturers of various subsystems of the aircraft. He has a wide range of connections in the field of American aviation and is very clear about McDonald's new developments.

"At present, the md11 passenger aircraft has little prospect in the passenger transport field. However, for air cargo, the load capacity of the three-engine aircraft exceeds that of two passenger aircraft. After the comprehensive cost sharing, the economic efficiency of the three-engine aircraft is better than that of the two-engine aircraft. Although the md11 project does not help McDonald's company get out of the predicament, it is not a loss-making transaction just for the project itself." Sun Zhuolin added.

Liang Yuan smiled and thought to himself that if the md11 project was placed on COMAC, CMB Aerospace or even MBB, it would naturally be a high-quality project that could not be better than the best. However, it would be a very bad thing to be placed on a giant like McDonald. Not to mention anything else, the manpower cost alone, MBB and COMAC would probably be less than half of the current McDonald passenger aircraft development department.

If equipment cost depreciation and stock market expectations are added, McDonald will not be far from losing his pants. In order to boost shareholder confidence, the research and development of the new generation of passenger aircraft is reasonable.

In the future, the md11 passenger aircraft will eventually sell more than 200 aircraft. The aircraft will be used in the same way as Sun Zhuolin said, and they are basically used in air cargo transportation. FedEx, Lufthansa Freight, Evergreen (Freight) Airlines, Arabian Freight, Joint parcel service, China International (Freight) Airlines and other large intercontinental logistics companies all regard md11 as the main model.

It was not until the new century that Boeing completely stopped production of md11 in order to unify its brands and product specifications.

"The so-called "Once you are bitten by a snake, you have been afraid of a well rope for ten years. Since md82, McDonald has repeatedly misjudged the development trend of the aviation industry. McDonald has finally taken the courage to burn the boat and is far away from the forefront of technology..."

Liang Yuan naturally knew that McDonald's new generation of ultra-long-range large passenger aircraft MD12 basically moved the 21st century Airbus A380 to the 20th century ahead of schedule. It is no better than the Boeing 747, which was rubbed halfway through, and the MD12 is a truly giant double-decker wide-body passenger aircraft.

The number of passengers carried by the early model of md12 is nothing more than a compromise on the insufficient thrust of current large civil aviation engines. The number of passengers carried by 500,600 in the later development model is the true face of the md12 passenger aircraft.

McDonald, who had been wandering in the tail hanging pit for a long time, finally changed his past. md12 resolutely threw himself into the arms of the wing hanging, and even held the attitude of being too correct. McDonald vowed to reduce the engine of a giant passenger plane such as the A380 from four to two in order to completely send Boeing 747 and other streams into the garbage dump of history.

"Since the previous year, McDonald has been in frequent contact with three aviation power manufacturers, Rolls, GE, and Puhui. He tried to promote the three aerospace engines to invest funds to provide high-thrust high-passage civilian engines that meet the requirements of md12 as soon as possible. However, only Rolls, Rolls, was more positive and had many concerns. Puhui responded seriously to a document we were considering carefully, but even the previous research team was not established." Zhou Yuanhang said with a little gloating.

Although Grumman has now unified the flight deck of the US Navy, he has had many grudges with McDonald in the field of military aircraft. Before the rise of Grumman's F14 fighter and A6 attack aircraft, the darling of the US Navy's flight deck was a ghost-type fighter produced by McDonald. Zhou Yuanhang, who was born in Grumman, naturally had no sympathy for McDonald.

While the few people were talking, the door was opened, and the two girls walked in from outside with trays.

"I want to complain. I spent tens of thousands of dollars, but I even wanted Jia Jia to play the role of a flight attendant." Liang Yuan stared at the eyes and put on a nouveau riche's face.

"What nonsense?" Ning Wanjia gave Liang Yuan a charming look.

On the tray in Ning Wanjia's hand, there were two blue-white porcelain cups, and a thick layer of milky white foam was shining at the mouth of the cup. On the foam, there was a red emulsion liquid with no material visible to the beam. It was outlined with delicate lines to outline a delicate Chinese knot. It looked like Ning Wanjia's masterpiece just now at the bar counter.

"Jia Jia's craftsmanship is getting more and more sophisticated." Liang Haiping said with emotion.

"Uncle, it's useless to praise your sister. This cup is yours." Ning Wanfei took out a cup of coffee from her tray and handed it to Liang Haiping with a smile.

Except for Liang Yuan’s two cups, the rest of the coffee was handled by Ning Wanjia using milk to outline a cartoon plane with a big head at the mouth of the cup.

"I'll be satisfied if I drink some." Sun Zhuolin took the coffee with a smile.

Since the skill of making coffee has been perfected, Ning Wanjia has been used to being joked by everyone in the past two years. Apart from the fact that there is a little watery feeling in her eyes, it is just like usual.

"Is this delicious? I just asked the flight attendant that there are only Sumatra-made coffee beans on Northwest Airlines' Asia-Pacific route, and there are no Blue Mountains." Ning Wanjia asked softly as she watched Liang Yuan drink half of her mouthful.

For Asians, most people like coffee with a sweet taste. Of course, this hobby is mainly Chinese, Japanese, Korean, East Asian countries. For the Confucian cultural circle, bitter drinks are just tea, and the choice of coffee taste is naturally different from that of Europe and the United States.

In the coffee world, Blue Mountain has always been the representative of the sweet party, while the coffee produced in Sumatra is famous for its mellow and bitter taste. Gourmets whose taste buds can explode call this bitter taste the fragrance of the soil.

However, Ning Wanjia has always preferred to make coffee. This kind of coffee with earthy fragrance requires extremely high levels of brewing people in making coffee. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will turn into a coffee zombie. In layman's terms, the taste will change from the fragrance of earthy to earthy.

Unfortunately, for a rustic bull, who does not explode with taste buds, whether it is the soil or the fragrance of the soil, it is all chewed down by a cow and swallowed it.

"Jiajia's new products are delicious."

After talking for a long time, I was about thirsty. Liang Tubi gulped again, and the blue-white coffee cup was half empty.

Ning Wanfei had already divided the coffee from others, looking at Liang Yuan's half empty cup, thinking about the flight attendant who just saw Ning Wanjia use red pomegranate juice to outline two exquisite Chinese knots, and sighed with his fingers against his forehead.

"Looking at the pig head's appearance, my sister's talent is probably in vain." Ning Wanfei thought helplessly.

"Except for the first class of JAL, other airlines will probably not provide Blue Mountains with first class." Liang Yuan and Ning Wanjia showed off their knowledge in their previous lives.

Before the rise of Japan's economy, the sweet taste of Blue Mountain coffee was never popular among Europe and the United States. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Japanese economy was at its peak. The rich Japanese waving money and changing the world with great volleys like the Chinese tycoons in later generations.

About 90% of Blue Mountain Coffee's production is shipped to Japan. It can be said that there is no Japanese preference. Even the New Century Blue Mountain Coffee is still unknown. Like Blue Mountain, it is also due to the outbreak of the Japanese economy. There are also lv worshipped by many women in later generations.

European and American media people in the 1980s once said so sadly that when entering the country, they carried two cameras on their backs, and when they left, they were 100% Japanese.

The first half of this sentence is to complain about the world's top imaging industry in Japan at that time. The second half is to satirize the Japanese locals. After all, the LV at that time was just an ordinary first-tier brand in Europe and the United States. It has nothing to do with luxury and other things.

Among the images left by Hollywood's top actresses in the 1960s, Gucci is the most popular handbag brand.

For example, the relevant departments of leather goods, clothing, accessories, jewelry, and jewelry, which account for a large proportion of luxury goods were all established in the 1980s and 1990s. Before that, in the 1960s and 1970s, LV was just a company that produced canvas, stripes, large and oversized migrant workers' bags, or could also add trolley boxes.

In his previous life, someone often sought food in various nightclubs. Although his taste buds would not explode, he was very familiar with the white-collar industry and foreign investment circles, and he was very familiar with the dark history of many luxury brands and luxury brands at that time.

"Xiaoyuan should still like Blue Mountains. I'll bring some coffee beans from Blue Mountains when I travel for a long time." As a firm sweet party, Ning Wanjia directly defined Liang Yuan's favorite taste.

"Silly girl, except for the super first-class cabin of $60,000, there is no coffee machine for you in other cabins." Liang Yuan chuckled and patted the girl's little hand that was placed beside him.

"After getting off the plane, the eldest young master is going to see the air show. How can we deal with Madolph's Yue Kunbo?" Zhou Yuanhang asked with coffee.

"Well, the more muddy the water, the better. Anyway, Europe has become a pool of muddy water, no matter how many it is, it is not bad for McDonald's basin." Liang Yuan said with a smile.

Short, mbb, COMAC and Bombardier, representatives of the British government, have been talking about the future of the Short brothers aircraft companies.

Bombardier is a pure Canadian company. As a veteran colony of the British Empire, Bombardier has deep connections in the British political and business terms. If the British had not been able to win over COMAC, Mbb would have formed a copycat version of Airbus, and Bombardier would have already taken Short to acquire it.

After multiple rounds of negotiations, COMAC and Mbb threw out a bait. Mbb said that if the British government can increase its investment in Schott, then after the cm100 passenger plane is officially put into operation, a second cm100 passenger plane production line will be established in Schott instead of China.

However, the premise of building a cm100 passenger aircraft production line is to acquire the parent company of Schott from Mbb to CMB Aerospace. If the British government has any doubts, it can split the military-related technologies and equipment of Schott in advance.

The reason why Liang Yuan is like this is mainly because he has doubts about the technical level of the Federal German aviation industry.

As stated in the development plan of the cm100 passenger aircraft, once the cm100 passenger aircraft is offline, in addition to the need for avionics and engines to keep pace with the times and continuously upgrade, the main structure of the passenger aircraft will not be out of date even if it is in 2020 for competition with the 737max. This difficult technical development, whether the two novices of Mbb and COMAC can truly complete Liang Yuan is really worried.

Pulling the British into the water also strengthens the technical strength of CMB Aerospace. The British's strength in the aviation industry in the 1980s was unquestionable. Of course, if McDonald could be tricked into it, there would be no problem with the cm100 passenger plane being completed on time. (To be continued...)

ps: Well, no matter how busy you are, you will have at least two or three updates a week. After this period, you may surprise you, such as three updates a day.
