Not to mention that Liszt¡¯s head felt a little swollen due to this news, even Lindemann, who came back from a walk on the beach, felt a little headache after reading it. The Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Italy, these four countries actually suspended purchases at the same time. The company found out - 2 Drones and re-initiating bidding for related equipment from around the world.
Not to mention the three low-lying countries of the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark, their combined share is only US$100 million. It would be a bit fatal if Italy stopped purchasing. You must know that this country alone has a large order of nearly US$300 million. Accounting for 30% of the entire European market, Company H must keep it no matter what.
What's more, it was very unusual for something like this to suddenly come to light just before delivery, and it would involve many twists and turns. So after learning about the situation, Lindemann thought about it for more than ten minutes with his eyes closed, and then picked up the phone. I beat several in a row.
¡°We are all old foxes for thousands of years. The American aviation giant is using drones as a nail to enter Europe and overthrow the entire aviation manufacturing industry. France and Germany see it clearly.
??It doesn¡¯t matter if this applies to other industries. Anyway, the United States is the big brother, and the younger ones don¡¯t have the strength. If you want to fight, I can win it for you.
The problem is that Europe is now making excessive profits from the aviation manufacturing industry. If nothing else, the European Airbus company, which was founded not long ago, earns tens of billions of dollars in profits from passenger aircraft every year. It has become a global leader in European countries, especially France and France. Germany is a pillar industry in the two core countries of the European Community.
That¡¯s all. What¡¯s more important is that through the integration of the aviation industry, it is not only the competitiveness of the industry that is strengthened, but also the political integration within Europe.
In other words, through the highly closed loop of the aviation industry, it has greatly promoted the historical process of Europe from decentralized cooperation to high degree of unity, which has great political significance.
With both external economic benefits and internal political significance of integration, the European aviation industry has inevitably become the bottom line for European countries, especially France and Germany.
In other words, the United States can be arrogant in other aspects, but if it touches this line, I'm sorry, even if we are a family, we must settle the accounts openly among brothers.
Now, the American aviation giants have taken the opportunity to support Company H and not only touched it, but are also preparing to step on it with their feet. Naturally, France and Germany are like cats that have stepped on their tails, and they have to resist no matter what.
So they used their influence within the European Community to do something that Europeans like to do most, which is to formulate so-called European standards.
???????????????????????????? Then use a set of European standards, alas ~ ~ h company found that several indicators did not meet the European conditions, forget it, go back and change it, and come back to bid after the changes are completed.
This seems very user-friendly. After all, it is written clearly in black and white. Just follow the requirements. The problem is that when you change it back, Europe's own aviation companies will put out their own products and bid for them. Europe will naturally choose its own. product.
If you want to protest, someone will say: "It's not that I don't want your products. As you can see, xx company's products are more in line with European usage habits, so I'm sorry and I hope we can have a happy cooperation next time."
The Europeans used similar methods to deceive many people, including the big brother of the United States. When Airbus was first established, in order to sell A-series passenger aircraft, the Europeans did this. The result was that Boeing and McDonnell Douglas passenger planes were The European market share has dropped significantly, but the A-series passenger aircraft has gradually increased, and finally firmly established itself in the huge shipping market in Europe.
Now that Europe is doing this again, it is obviously repeating the old tricks and delaying time. The problem is that Boeing and McDonnell Douglas were just one move away from them back then. Could it be that H Company, which has a lot of historical experience, can be tricked by Europeans again?
So that night, Lindemann spent most of the night on the phone, chatting with Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, General Motors, Northrop, Lockheed and other giants involved in the aviation industry, and then talked to the New York Times, Leaders of the Washington Post, American Radio, Voice of America and other media exchanged views.
Then he asked Liszt to fly back to New York overnight, and then transfer to Europe.
Lindemann believes that H Company, which uses huge resources, will never let history repeat itself. The Europeans want to delay time. The Chernobyl nuclear accident in the Soviet Union did not care about this. Nuclear leaks all the time continue to increase the nuclear pollution in Eurasia. .
That's all for other times. Company H can't do anything against the Europeans who have been playing hooligans for two hundred years. But now, with the help of the Soviet Union's Chernobyl, whoever plays hooligans is really a hooligan. not sure.
This is indeed the case, justWhen Lister returned to New York and boarded a United Airlines flight to Rome, the Italian capital, the next day, major American media, benefiting from the aviation giants, began to report on the suffering of European people under nuclear contamination.
One of the articles, "Floating Objects Eight Thousand Meters", written by Martin, a senior reporter at the Washington Post, uses a unique God's perspective and smart writing to describe a seemingly dreamy but cruel reality, that is, Europe's The world is facing the worst health crisis since the Black Death in the Middle Ages due to nuclear contamination.
Because the article was well written and touched the soul, it was reprinted by major American media. The Voice of America, which was originally used to promote the Soviet Union, even broadcast the full text of this article to the entire Europe for the first time.
When Liszt got off the plane from Rome International Airport, he heard the voice of the Voice of America announcer's passionate recitation from the mini radio he carried with him. After leaving the airport, Liszt, who was fluent in Italian, bought a copy of the local newspaper, and soon found a report about "Floating Objects on Eight Thousand Meters" on a prominent page.
Lister couldn¡¯t help but smile, and his heart was immediately filled with confidence. He could even picture in his mind the Italian procurement officials who were driven crazy by the pressure of public opinion.
Soon the car drove into an Italian air force base. This is the place where Italy is responsible for testing drones. It is also the destination of Lister's trip to Italy. After putting away the newspaper, the car stopped at a third-floor office. In front of the building, Italian Air Force Major General Savarino, who is in charge of procurement, stood at the gate of the office building to welcome Lister's arrival.
The two parties shook hands cordially, and after some pleasantries, Liszt asked pointedly: "General, have you read today's newspaper?"
"Of course, not only the newspaper, I even read the original text of "Floating Objects on the Eight Thousand Meters" twice." Savarino and Liszt walked side by side into the office building, speaking very seriously.
Liszt smiled: "How do you feel?"
"With all due respect, after reading this article, we can no longer purchase your products." Savarino said bluntly.
"Why?"
Savarino shrugged: "Because your drone can't fly more than eight thousand meters."
