"Change the topic? To what topic? Your son has just given birth to a grandson. Your daughter has been admitted to college. My child has not graduated from elementary school yet. Do you think it is appropriate for us to have a child?
?????????????????????? You have been in military uniform, served in the army all your life, and you care about drills. I know nothing about war and command. I came here just to show off. Do you think we can talk about drills together?
Of course, if you want to drink some wine, I don¡¯t mind chatting with you about the situation at home and abroad. After all, when I first started working, talking to uncles and aunts of your age was nothing but speculation. It¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s an exercise. Please observe discipline during this period and there will be no alcohol. "
With that said, Zhuang Jianye helplessly spread his hands and looked at Song Changzheng: "You think, if we don't talk about business matters, won't we have nothing in common?"
"Fuck you, just say it if you think I'm old. Is it fun to talk so much nonsense?" Song Changzheng was immediately annoyed by Zhuang Jianye. He laughed and cursed and sat down opposite Zhuang Jianye, picked up the water glass and took a sip. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhuang Jianye and sighed: "Your aircraft are good. The key is that our company has purchased twenty-eight Highland Eagle B and sixteen TM-9 aircraft in the past few years. They are already saturated. How else do you want us to buy it? We can't let our airline lose money just to take care of you, right?
Besides, although your aircraft has good performance, it is still too small and is not cost-effective for our airline in terms of operating costs. So, Xiaozhuang, I really have no choice about this matter unless you can figure it out. A plane with a larger passenger capacity, otherwise don¡¯t tell me, I won¡¯t be able to agree to it even if you move the central leadership, it is against the laws of the market. "
Although Song Changzheng¡¯s words are sharp, they are true. Low cost and high efficiency are always the only ways for airlines to make profits. Otherwise, Boeing¡¯s 737 and Airbus¡¯ A320 would not become world-renowned best-selling aircraft.
The reason is very simple, because these two narrow-body mainline passenger aircraft meet all the needs of airlines for profitability: carrying more passengers, good fuel economy, low maintenance costs, and high commuting rate
It is precisely because they hit the g-spot of airlines that these two models have become hot sellers around the world.
Ascendas Group is growing well in China, but compared with Boeing and Airbus, it is not even a younger brother. Compared with the popular 737 and 320, its products are even more like a younger brother. Can't reach the countertop.
As for meeting the profitability standards of airlines, there is even less talk about it, because the current flagship product of Ascendas Group can only be classified as general aviation in a strict sense, not even branch lines, let alone the 737 and 320. Similar to trunk lines.
Therefore, the sales of the Highland Eagle B and TM-9 in airlines are not very satisfactory. The main reason is what Song Changzheng said. Although the Highland Eagle B and TM-9 did not cause the airlines to lose money, they did not make them make money either. Compared with this, they are more willing to operate passenger and cargo aircraft with 50 seats, which is the main profit source of each airline.
It is not difficult to understand this, because airlines have the same idea as freight trucks. The efficiency of an extended heavy-duty truck with a load of 40 tons is always much better than that of a battery truck with a load of more than ten kilograms, and the profit is even worse. Don't.
The same is true for aircraft operations. Take the Plateau Eagle B, which is the main product of Ascendas Group. It is good at passenger and cargo transportation and has gained a good reputation in the plateau and border areas. However, the airline disappeared after the first batch of orders. Below, the reason is very simple. For more than a dozen plateau eagle b flights, airlines can use one regional airliner to solve the problem. Not only is the efficiency high, but the time and cost saved can be repeated several times. This way, the profit is higher than that of the plateau eagle b. It is several times or even dozens of times higher.
Airlines are not fools. They support domestically produced products, but they cannot blindly throw money into them. No one¡¯s money comes from strong winds.
Of course, if the domestic aviation conditions were as developed as those in the United States, the aircraft models owned by Ascendas Group would not be like this. After all, general aviation is still widely used. The problem is that domestic civil aviation has not started long and the level is still relatively low. The demand for general aviation is still in its infancy. Even if Ascendas Group vigorously encourages it, it will only get some friendly orders and cannot solve the actual problem at all.
As for exporting abroad, it¡¯s not that Zhuang Jianye doesn¡¯t want to do it, but in the turbulent environment, the European and American airworthiness certificate applications for several models of Ascendas Group have been frozen without restrictions. You must know that this thing can be regarded as a kind of access to the world market. Permit, with this thing, the aircraft can be sold on the world aviation market.
But if not, you can still sell it. After all, the airworthiness certificate does not restrict market sales, but regular airports in various countries will prohibit the landing of these aircraft types. Who would buy such an aircraft?
Because of this, over the years, Ascendas Group has not only purchased the Plateau Eagle series ordered by Nepal but also cooperated with Thailand?Except for the jointly produced TM-9 aircraft, there is no record of export sales.
It is also for this reason that the Leipzig Company in Germany has no scruples in proposing to purchase a full set of technology and production licenses for "small forklift" helicopters. The fundamental reason is that without them, Ascendas Group's helicopters would not even have a chance to go abroad.
It was against this background that Zhuang Jianye shamelessly ran to the headquarters in Beijing for the past two years, and finally became the most unpopular person in the headquarters. It was thanks to the spring breeze of domestic infrastructure that Ascendas Group survived.
Otherwise, so many R & D expenses and rolling stalls each year are really not enough to buy and sell a hammer of several models.
So this time through the national defense mobilization exercise, Zhuang Jianye met the top leader of United Airlines. Naturally, he couldn't let it go. He completely regarded himself as a dog-skin plaster. Even if he was torn off, a piece of skin would still stick to it. Therefore, even if he knew what Song Changzheng said, It was the truth, Zhuang Jianye still shook his head: "Old Song, what you said is biased."
"How can you be biased?" Song Changzheng immediately retorted: "You are all small planes, which are not cost-effective to operate. You can't make our airline lose money."
"But we already have a 50-seat regional airliner. How about your airline? Aren't you turning your elbows outward?" Zhuang Jianye didn't show any weakness: "If I can get a new model, I won't say anything. I actually got it. A BAE-146, I said Mr. Song"
As Zhuang Jianye leaned down from the sofa and faced Song Changzheng directly, his title changed from Lao Song to Mr. Song: "I don't understand. Your airline keeps saying that it wants to reduce costs. Then introduce a low-cost aircraft. Britain The Bae-146 is just a regional airliner with less than 100 seats. It is actually equipped with four engines. The main lines of Airbus and Boeing have two engines. You talk about reducing costs. You tell me that the maintenance cost of four engines is higher than that of two engines. How much cheaper?¡±
Song Changzheng opened his mouth when he heard the words, but he couldn't say a word. He had no choice. What he said really made him speechless.
