Chapter 33: Ridiculous! How can Daxia build a purely domestic passenger plane?

"Are you going to cancel the cooperation framework previously reached on the COMAC919 project?"

Charles Borden repeated in disbelief: "No longer needing our LEAP-X engine as an integrated propulsion system?"

He originally thought that this was just a normal negotiation on Daxia's side to urge the development progress of the LEAP-X project.

Who would have thought that Xu Qianren would actually flip the table and announce: The cooperation is cancelled, I won’t play with you anymore!
How could this be a negotiation? Charles Borden thought it was more like a judgment.

If he returns to CFM headquarters with this result, he will be sentenced to life imprisonment on the spot and banished to the cold palace and never be used again.

"Yes, you can understand it that way." Xu Qianren responded with a calm expression on his face as if nothing had happened.

"Xu, I can assure you." Charles Borden's eyes flashed with determination: "We at CFM will develop the LEAP-X engine as quickly as possible as long as our cooperation continues and the contract is signed."

He also thought that COMAC was using the classic negotiation tactic of "extreme pressure strategy" and would not bargain with you at all. As long as CFM did not accept to speed up the research and development progress, COMAC would directly cancel the cooperation.

Charles Borden had to admit that he definitely couldn't withstand this tactic!

The COMAC919 project must not fail. The headquarters attaches great importance to it. He, as a regional director, cannot take the blame.

however.

Facing his trick, Xu Qianren shook his head decisively: "Mr. Boden, you should know that this is not a negotiation."

"It was a notice that the cooperation was cancelled."

How could he not know what Charles Borden was thinking?
Even if COMAC agrees to the request to continue cooperation, will CFM really speed up the process?

Not to mention that this is just a verbal promise, even if the contract is signed, what will happen? Will they really fulfill their promise?
This is a joke. Do you expect a group of pirates and barbarians to keep their promises to you?

When Western society talks about keeping promises now, it is only because it is in a strong position. Once Western society falls into a weak position, the so-called credit will be like a piece of waste paper to them.

Capital only has interests but no credit.

As for this, both Xu Qianren personally and the entire Daxia had experienced it more than once or twice in the past few decades.

"Who asked you to cooperate? Why did you suddenly cancel the cooperation?" Charles Borden said gloomily:

"They gave you COMAC better conditions? We at CFM can also provide the same conditions. We are the number one in the field of commercial aircraft engines."

Several names of aviation giants flashed through his mind, the first of which was Pratt & Whitney of the United States, the International Aero Engine Alliance, or RR Rolls-Royce of Great Britain. (It is the same company as Rolls-Royce, so the logo is RR.)
As for the remaining EA Engine Alliance companies, Boden thinks it is unlikely.

After all, GE not only holds 50% of the shares of EA Engine Alliance, but also holds 50% of the shares of CFM.

"Mr. Borden, none of that is what you said."

Xu Qianren remained calm and composed: "This time, we in Daxia will develop our own integrated propulsion engine system and build a 100% domestically produced civil aircraft."

He did not hide this fact. How many aviation engine giants in the world are eyeing the C919 project of COMAC? Even if you want to hide it, you can't. You don't choose any company, and the only possibility is self-development.

"COMAC plans to develop its own engine system? And also plans to independently design and build 100% domestically-made civil aircraft?" Charles Borden's eyes widened, his face full of questions.

"Xu, the difficulty here is not as simple as you think. I think you can reconsider the conditions of cooperation."

There was not only shock in his tone, but also a strong sense of ridicule and suspicion.

He was just short of saying, "Why do you think you can independently build 100% domestically produced civil aircraft?"

You know, most of the world's real aero-engine giants are from GE and Pratt & Whitney. The engines of aircraft including F22, F35, B-2, etc. are all from GE or Pratt & Whitney.

In his opinion, Daxia's most advanced J-10 fighter jets are all equipped with the Russian AL-31FN engine. Why do they think they can develop commercial aircraft engines with higher requirements?

Xu Qianren put on a smile: "Your CFM company doesn't need to worry about this." "Then I'll wait for the day when your Daxia Commercial Aircraft Corporation successfully tests the C919." Charles Borden squinted at Xu Qianren, and he even said this in his awkward Chinese.

"I hope I don't have to wait too long. Let's go!" He pulled the translator and a meeting recorder with him, slammed the door and left.

COMAC, a company that was established less than two years ago, is actually thinking about producing 100% domestically-made civil aircraft.

How dare you be so confident? How dare you make such a decision?
CFM International has never encountered such an outrageous thing since it became a global commercial aviation engine giant.

"Then just wait and see." Xu Qianren stared at the receding figure.

Once COMAC solves the most difficult BOSS, the super-large civil airliner, won’t other small and medium-sized civil airliners be easy to deal with?

By then, not to mention engine companies like CFM, even Boeing and Airbus’ market share will be declining.

With Daxia's absolute price advantage, he believed that the resistance of most civil aviation companies in the world was zero.

Will they be able to sit still by then? Even the Eagle Sauce may have to go.

A few hours later.

On the other side of the ocean, LLNL laboratory staff dormitory.

Although it was already late at night in Daxia, in California, whose time zone was fifteen hours behind Daxia, it was only eight o'clock in the morning.

After Lu Ze finished washing up, he wiped the water droplets dripping from his face.

Glancing at the light screen information on the eyeball.

【Achievement points: 8500 points.】

[System space inventory:.]

[Number of copies: 1.] (Refreshed every Monday.)
The corners of his mouth raised into a smile: "Finally it's my favorite Monday again, and the number of copies has been refreshed."

I am just a little bit away from 10,000 achievement points. If I copy one more high-tech item this week, I will be able to participate in the blue lottery.

“I only need eight more copies to unlock the purple lottery.” Lu Ze muttered.

He guessed that once higher-level lotteries were unlocked, the system would have more functions.

"Lucy told me yesterday that it would take two to three weeks for the next batch of weapons and equipment to be stored."

Lu Ze frowned and kept thinking about the best solution: "Let's go to the maintenance center first to see if there is anything worth copying."

He thinks that the treasure trove of the maintenance center should be explored more.

As for the top-level technological items in the laboratory, there is still no good way to access them.

Although Lu Ze already has a preliminary plan on how to make himself appear mediocre so that the LLNL laboratory will relax their vigilance against him and be able to get access to some high-level technological items as soon as possible, he also has to prevent himself from being deeply involved.

After all, if Lu Ze joins the core project of Eagle Sauce, does he still plan to return to China?
If he wants to return to China at that time, he will probably be shot eight times in the back at home the next day and be announced as having died accidentally from pneumonia by the Americans.

Lu Ze checked the time. It was exactly eight o'clock in the morning. "Let's go to the cafeteria to have breakfast first. We can't miss it."

"We have to call Lucy over. It's so expensive to eat out."

This is free wool from capitalism. If he and Lucy eat less, it’s not less profit, it’s a huge loss.

All this money will be turned into weapons and bullets to hit third world countries around the world. If Lu Ze doesn't eat more, how can he avenge them?
We must eat to avenge our hatred and severely strike a blow to the arrogance of the Eagle Sauce.
