The Chinese people are very caring, considerate and tolerant towards the Hong Kong area. However, over the years, the Chinese people have gradually discovered that in fact, the Hong Kong area does not regard them as relatives, but as locusts. People go there to travel and consume, but they still They were subject to all kinds of sarcasm and ridicule. Even when people went there to buy some milk powder to feed their children, they were restricted from buying it. They even had to be detained and even nearly prosecuted for buying a few cans of rice noodles. These incidents have left Zhang Wenhao cold. Heartbroken.
Zhang Wenhao has no admiration or admiration for Hong Kong. Therefore, when the other party has been ostracizing Chinese people, Zhang Wenhao will naturally not have a good attitude.
Even Zhang Wenhao is thinking in his mind that in the future, all products and technologies related to civil aviation will be ranked at the bottom. Zhang Wenhao will not use basic products to attack them, but in terms of civil aviation, Zhang Wenhao must be tough to the end!
The Japanese reporter raised her hand for a long time, and was finally called upon by Zhang Wenhao. After the Japanese reporter stood up, she was much more polite than the female reporter just now. She first bowed slightly to Zhang Wenhao, and then said in a very respectful tone: "Mr. Zhang, first of all Congratulations to you and Dongchen for taking another big step forward today."
Zhang Wenhao nodded slightly and said calmly: "Thank you."
The female reporter nodded politely in response, and then got to the point: "I understand the origin of Mr. Zhang's special actions towards the Japanese market. However, I think Japan has also begun continuous and in-depth cooperation with Dongchen. Japan has had Millions of jobs are provided by Dongchen, and the treatment they enjoy is also very good. There is even a saying circulating in Japan: Japan's economic situation has caused no job in Japan to be stable, even The position of Prime Minister is not stable. However, the only stable job is the job provided by Dongchen in Japan. It is precisely because of this cooperation that the relationship between the two parties is getting closer. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Zhang whether he would consider continuing to work in Japan. Will Japan add more jobs, or will it consider lifting the blockade on the Japanese market one day?¡±
Zhang Wenhao answered with a smile: "As for whether to continue to create more jobs in Japan, I think the answer should be yes. Because Japan still has a lot of idle production capacity, and Dongchen's production capacity has always been somewhat tight, so I think if If communication with your government is smooth, cooperation will inevitably continue to deepen. As for your second question, I cannot give you a clear reply. But I can promise you to consider this issue carefully."
The female reporter looked delighted, put the microphone in front of her and bowed to Zhang Wenhao, then picked up the microphone and said excitedly and gratefully: "Thank you! Thank you!"
Zhang Wenhao nodded slightly. This attitude at least made people feel more comfortable. It's much better than being questioned right away.
At this time, Zhang Wenhao clicked on a French TV station. When the other reporter stood up, his first sentence was: "Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask. Will Dongchen's airborne positioning system be provided to airlines?" Do you provide modification services for existing aircraft of other brands?¡±
Zhang Wenhao smiled and said: "The answer is yes. Although Dongchen will not license this core technology to our competitors, we will not sit idly by and ignore the current problems faced by civil aviation. Therefore, at some time in the future, , Dongchen will openly sell this system to airlines to improve the overall operational efficiency and cost reduction ratio of global civil aviation. However, this time will not be too early. As for when it will be opened, we still need to wait. further notice."
Speaking, Zhang Wenhao added: "In addition to the airborne positioning system, we have also developed a corresponding ground integrated control system. We will upgrade it for free for all airports around the world to ensure that the airport dispatching work is carried out more smoothly. Smooth and orderly, in addition, we will also provide the lowest equipment purchase price for the global air traffic control system."
Zhang Wenhao knows that he must have a good relationship with the airport. The airport is the hardware support for future air transportation. If he has a good relationship with the airport, it will bring him a lot of convenience. Zhang Wenhao has experienced this many times. If It can deepen the relationship between Dongchen and airports around the world. Then, when Dongchen operates its own airline in the future, its base airports will be all over the world.
Raymond watched the live broadcast from the sidelines. The more he listened, the more scared and worried he became. When he heard this, he was already sure that Dongchen had great ambitions in the field of civil aviation, and he had too many conditions that Boeing did not have. After he really gets started, killing Boeing will be as easy as squeezing an ant to death!
Raymond really wanted to have a good talk with Zhang Wenhao, to tell him rationally and emotionally, and tell him that a single family is not necessarily a good thing. However, he has no chance to talk face-to-face with Zhang Wenhao now. I don¡¯t know if Zhang Wenhao will still be willing to see him.
Recalling the times when Zhang Wenhao was so kind to him, Raymond felt a twinge of pain in his heart. Damn it, he thought he was tied to a rocket soaring into the sky, but he didn't expect that he was regarded as a booster. Rocket, when it was no longer useful, it abandoned itself and let itself fall like a free fall. If Zhang Wenhao hadn't been thinking of Airbus, how could he be so good to Boeing and help Boeing kill Airbus? However, once Airbus died, Boeing completely lost its value to Dongchen. No, they directly took over Airbus and prepared to compete with Boeing.
At this moment, Zhang Wenhao in the venue began to accept questions from the German media again.
The Germans also suffered heavy losses under the impact of Dongchen. The automobile industry suddenly turned from the leader's position into a pile of ruins. However, the Germans have a character that is worthy of recognition, that is, they are willing to admit defeat and be defeated by you. After that, he has no objection to whatever you ask him to do, but he will not get back down. He will only work harder and look forward to one day being able to overtake him again.
The character of this nation is also very commendable. They never deny the mistakes they made. Take World War II as an example. Germany took the initiative to admit all the crimes it committed during World War II, and never said a redundant word. Sophistry, and the whole country is really reflecting on World War II. However, the Japanese went to the other extreme. In an attempt to overturn its own disgraceful history and to overturn the conviction for the crimes it committed back then, Russia is not necessarily what it seems on the surface. Although they seemed to be in the righteous camp during World War II, they were not in the Soviet Union. Before being attacked by Germany, Stalin and Hitler were almost as close comrades-in-arms as brothers. The two of them were actually the same breed. The Soviet Union committed countless crimes against humanity until the Soviet Union disintegrated. Russian talent only selectively admitted part of it.
Zhang Wenhao had a trace of heartfelt respect for the Germans. At this time, the German reporter was also very professional and said: "Mr. Zhang, although Germany has suffered heavy losses under the competitive pressure of Dongchen, Dongchen's reputation is still intact. Germany is the best among all foreign companies, and we are very happy to see Dongchen continue to change the world and make it better."
Zhang Wenhao nodded in thanks, and the other party smiled slightly, and said: "We are very curious if Dongchen starts to start the production of Dongchen Aerospace Company. Will it consider cooperating with German companies? After all, German companies also indirectly held shares in Airbus before. Many companies in Germany have also been providing spare parts production for Airbus."
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "This is inevitable. No matter how powerful Dongchen is, it is impossible to cover all production links on ourselves. We have been measuring the strength of spare parts suppliers around the world. And selected ourselves Moreover, the rigor and seriousness of German companies are also the ones we highly admire and learn from, so we will give priority to cooperation with German companies.¡±
The other party nodded lightly, thanked him, and then said: "We very much hope that Mr. Zhang can go to Germany to have a look if he has the opportunity. I think Germany's strong industrial foundation can make further progress with Dongchen in many places." If we cooperate, I believe we will not disappoint Mr. Zhang.¡±
Zhang Wenhao nodded generously and said: "No problem, if Dongchen Aerospace Company officially starts operation, I will definitely go to Europe, and I will definitely go to Germany."
A press conference lasted for nearly four hours. Zhang Wenhao answered countless questions. However, among so many questions, every reporter had a very good attitude. No one who was short-sighted would use his own Thoughts accuse Dongchen. Now, in the minds of most people, Dongchen is no longer a powerful business giant, but a respected great enterprise.
After the reception, Dongchen¡¯s staff approached Zhang Wenhao and said, ¡°Mr. Zhang, Boeing President Raymond would like to meet with you privately.¡±
Zhang Wenhao looked at the time and saw that it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. He would arrive at the manor at six o'clock to hold a celebration banquet with his relatives and Dongchen's core employees, and then said: "Okay, you tell Raymond, ten I will meet with him in a few minutes, but time is tight and I can only spare twenty minutes."
The staff member nodded, turned around and went out, met with Raymond, and conveyed Zhang Wenhao's words. Raymond felt a little relieved. Zhang Wenhao was still willing to see him, which proved that he would not break up with him in an instant. fall out.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Wenhao met with Raymond. Raymond was still a little uneasy. When he met Zhang Wenhao this time, he no longer thought about how close he and Zhang Wenhao were before. He seemed a little reserved as soon as he entered the door, but Zhang Wenhao was very He enthusiastically walked up and put his arms around Raymond's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Raymond, why are you acting like a little girl this time?"
RaymondHe looked a little embarrassed, laughed sarcastically, and said, "To use an old Chinese saying, today is different from the past. I can't tell what you are thinking, Mr. Zhang, so I'm a little worried."
Zhang Wenhao laughed, pulled Raymond to sit down, and said: "You don't have to worry at all. Although we have become competitors now, you know that I have always been friendly to Boeing. Even if we are competitors, we will always be friendly." There is no life or death game.¡±
Raymond asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?"
Zhang Wenhao smiled and said: "Boeing is a great company with a history of nearly a hundred years, and Dongchen is just a newborn in this industry. I think there is no need for us to meet each other life and death, just like I have healthy cooperation with so many companies in the United States."
Raymond asked in surprise: "You mean, there is also a chance for us to cooperate?"
Zhang Wenhao nodded, smiled, and said, "Of course!"
With that said, Zhang Wenhao said seriously: "Raymond, tell the truth. There will inevitably be competition between us. This kind of competition. Even if I don't take the initiative to attack Boeing, Boeing itself will be gradually eliminated by the market. This will You should be aware of one thing, right?"
Raymond nodded helplessly and said: "I know this very well. Dongchen's display today allowed me to see a new era of civil aviation. This is something that Boeing simply does not have the ability to achieve."
Zhang Wenhao also nodded in the same way, and then he said: "This market is actually not easy to operate. You know, to put it bluntly, to use a very straightforward saying on the Chinese Internet. It is just to make money selling cabbage, and to sell it." With a white heart, the annual sales are tens of billions, but the actual profit is only a fucking billion. The research and development costs are incredibly high, and the research and development cycle is also terrifyingly long. Moreover, the profits are not high and the market space is not large. The aircraft has been built After that, I have to bear great responsibility and pressure, and I can¡¯t turn around after a year. This kind of business. What Dongchen wants to do is image rather than profit. In the final analysis. Even if I completely monopolize this industry, The annual profit is less than one-tenth of that of Dongchen Electronics."
Raymond agreed and said: "Yes, the profits in this industry are really too low."
Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "So, you don't have to worry about the competition with Dongchen. Dongchen wants to maintain its image, so it will do it if it loses money. However, Boeing is for profit, so in the future, if Dongchen one day causes damage to Boeing Huge impact, then you just cooperate with me directly. You have enough strength to OEM for Dongchen. When the time comes, think about how beautiful your life will be? You don¡¯t have to worry about anything, just build your aircraft. , you don¡¯t need to do research and development, you don¡¯t need to invest a lot of time in research and development, and you don¡¯t need to take on extra responsibilities. You only need to make money, and the profits will definitely be higher than you are now. By then, won¡¯t we develop together? ?¡±
The dark clouds in Raymond¡¯s heart dissipated instantly!
yes! My thoughts are too extreme. Dongchen has no need to completely kill himself. Dongchen Auto has not completely killed American automobile companies before. On the contrary, those companies can still ensure sufficient profits after cooperating with Dongchen. , then General Motors used to suffer losses due to poor management, but after cooperating with Dongchen, the profit ratio is fixed, there is no possibility of losses at all, and the profitability is much stronger than before.
Thinking of this, Raymond felt happy and said excitedly: "It just so happens that we have increased Boeing's production capacity. By then, if we cooperate with Dongchen, we can also speed up the development of Dongchen Aerospace Company's subsidiary and Dongchen's The popularity of Chen aircraft."
Zhang Wenhao nodded with satisfaction. Raymond was still very wise, and he was not really prepared to completely kill Boeing. If he killed Boeing, he would naturally be itchy about Boeing's strong production capacity. When the time comes, it will be Acquisitions and reorganizations are not enough to worry about. It is better to directly attract Boeing and directly do OEM work for Dongchen in the future. While gaining huge production capacity, Zhang Wenhao can also worry less. There are so many directions in which Zhang Wenhao can make money. Okay, he really doesn't look down on commercial airliners, just for his own ideal.
A stone fell in Raymond's heart. Naturally, he was very happy. He gradually relaxed a lot and said, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have spent the unjust money to buy Airbus technology. I might as well take advantage of it." Chen has not officially impacted this industry. He will take the opportunity to sell more of Boeing's best-selling models. Then when you get up, I will directly do OEM work for you. Anyway, no matter how we develop, our R&D capabilities are not as good as yours, so we might as well not develop the best-selling models. good."
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said sincerely: "There is no need to spend money and effort on research and development. No matter how much you research and develop, you can't compare with Dongchen. At that time, it will just be a futile effort. I think I can terminate you after you go back." In the research and development of new aircraft models, we should take this opportunity to build more 737s, 747s, and 787s.Make some quick money, and when we get started and the two parties cooperate, you can directly start producing Dongchen aircraft. At that time, keep one or two production lines and produce your own models in small quantities. This is the best for you. Nothing more. "
Zhang Wenhao really meant what he said. He didn¡¯t want to kill Boeing, because it was completely unnecessary, and it would also affect Dongchen¡¯s development in the United States. What good would it do to him to kill them? In fact, there is no benefit, because I am not afraid of their competition at all. Sooner or later, they will die themselves. However, now I agree to cooperate with Raymond to reassure him and let him take a breath. In the future, he will also It can bring greater benefits to himself. For Zhang Wenhao, this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone. Such things as fighting to the death and fighting to the death are limited to Japanese and Korean companies.
Raymond was relieved and said: "If you have a chance, you can come to Seattle again, or I can organize Boeing's senior management to come to China to meet with you. Let's discuss the future development direction. If you are ready to start letting Boeing OEM , we can also enter the state early, in this case, it will be a good thing for both of us."
Zhang Wenhao said very generously: "Okay, when Dongchen Aerospace Company starts operations, I will go to Seattle to have a good talk with you about this issue."
With that said, Zhang Wenhao looked at the time and said apologetically: "Raymond, I can't accompany you anymore. If you are still planning to stay in China for a few days, let's get together after I finish these two days."
Raymond chuckled, stood up and said: "It's okay, you are busy with your business. I have to go back to Seattle tonight. Everyone is on tenterhooks. I'm afraid they are even more worried after watching today's press conference. I have to go back quickly to get you Please convey your words to them so that everyone can feel relieved.¡±
"Okay." Zhang Wenhao nodded and said, "I'll have someone take you away."
Zhang Wenhao did not lie to Raymond today, and what he said was from the bottom of his heart. Although Raymond is sometimes cunning, he is still kind, and it is completely unnecessary to become a mortal enemy with him. , However, if this problem is solved and his worries are dispelled, he will definitely be able to repay himself double in the future, which is a good deal.
