Since the guests are here, it is inevitable to introduce poor relatives.

Gu Ao made a few polite words with Qiu Qing, then pointed at the three cousins ​​around him: "Brother Qiu, this is a relative who just returned from Shu Province. It was built on the third line 15 years ago. Now that my uncle has retired, the cousins ​​and the others can return to their hometown."

Qiu Qing was not a local (many officials had to be appointed in another place), so he had never heard of the details of Qiantang Oxygen Machine Factory being ordered to go to the third line to assist in the construction of a new factory more than ten years ago. At this moment, he heard Gu Ao's introduction, and then he showed an approving expression: "That's really a high level of awareness and contribution to the country - do you think that Uncle Ling was transferred back then? Are you at the mansion today? I should go and see you."

Gu Ao didn't stop him. Qiu Qing went upstairs to hold the juniors' rites and whispered a few moments before coming down to talk to Gu Ao about the serious matters.

Gu Xun and Gu Mei were a little restrained. When they heard that the other party was a leader in the city, they didn't dare to say anything. However, Qiu Qing repeatedly emphasized that he and Gu Ao were having friends with each other, so there was no need to be restrained. He also asked the three brothers and sisters how to arrange the arrangements after returning to Qiantang.

Gu Ao told the arrangements he had thought of a few days ago to the truth.

When Qiu Qing heard this, he slapped his thigh: "It should be like this - your name is Gu Chi, right? Has you been to college? That's not easy, and college students should reuse it. Your cousin recently wants to attract foreign capital to invest in projects in the city. At that time, you can arrange for you to go in and do some contact work, and it's not enough to make the best of your talents."

When Gu Chi heard this, his eyes lit up. He looked at his cousin Gu Ao with some timidity, but he didn't dare to ask.

Qiu Qing was good at observing his expressions and immediately realized that Gu Ao clearly distinguished between public and private affairs and had never mentioned it to his family.

Gu Ao asked without hesitation: "Brother Qiu is really not going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Today, are you here to talk about preparations in that aspect?"

Gu Chi was very eyebrowed: "Third brother, since you have a serious business with Mayor Qiu, why not go to the study to talk, I will take my younger sister out for a walk."

He looks like a clever man of the best.

Gu Ao took Qiu Qing into the upstairs study without hesitation.

Qiu Qing closed the door and asked excitedly: "A while ago, I just took office, I received an inquiry letter from the UTC company requested to invest and inspect, which made me excited and Mayor Li. As soon as I thought about it, I knew it was my brother who had a relationship in the United States. I don't know if you are back for the New Year, so I will ask for details first, so we can do the preparations."

It turns out that this time Gu Ao returned to China, it was time to repay Hegel's director. Hegel stepped down as Secretary of State in March last year, and now it has been 11 months since he was about to get back to China. As Gu Ao officially graduated and returned to China, he can help with some help.

Originally, Gu Ao planned to deal with it, find a subsidiary under UTC that is not very sensitive to technology, set up a factory in China, and make some money in the Chinese market (of course, it also introduces some technology to China, cultivates some talents, and solves employment)

However, two months ago, Gu Ao was kind to the current national security adviser, Mr. William Clark, who helped him save his career in "helping Americans find excuses to start war against Grenada in an instant."

Therefore, under the convenience of the security consultant, the scope of UTC's industrial transfer that can allow exports to China is even larger.

Americans only celebrate the Spring Festival and only celebrate the Christmas and New Year's Day holidays. So in mid-January, before Gu Ao returned to his country, Hege's tentative consultation letter was sent back at Gu Ao's instruction.

Local and provincial and municipal levels were inexplicably excited after receiving it, and they were eager to prepare enough to increase the industrial transfer of Americans. Qiu Qing had just been promoted to a deputy in charge of economic work and wanted to do a big move, so he rushed to Gu Ao's door to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Since he came to ask so sincerely, Gu Ao gave a message:

"As of January last year, Mr. Heg and I have reviewed it twice, and I think it is a good choice to use Audis Elevator under UTC as a springboard for joint ventures with China.

As for elevator companies, as long as civilian electronic control and motor technology are mature, they can produce high-quality products without any sensitivity. Moreover, starting this year, the level of domestic urban construction will definitely accelerate. In the future, high-rise buildings will be the mainstream. If they occupy the domestic elevator market from now on, UTC's directors will definitely envy this big cake."

"Audis elevator?" Qiu Qing subconsciously said, "If it was Audis, the city could consider giving foreigners the management dominance. The state-owned assets will take out a powerful motor factory to cooperate with the other party, and withdraw some resources and technical backbones in weak current control technology. It should be a good match."

He didn't know these companies at all, but because he did his homework for UTC in advance, he felt confident.

Qiu Qing knew that Audis was the oldest company in the elevator industry, because elevators were invented by the Audis brothers in 1905. This thing was written in the popular biography and management history books in China at that time. (In 1984, domestic factory managers were popular to read "The Legend of Henry Ford" and "The Legend of Konosuke Matsushita" to learn how to manage and do business)

Audis is the same as Edison to electric lights.

Unfortunately, the elevator industry has only such a big market in the world, and it is not a very awesome big business.

At least compared to UTC's cards, it can only be considered a card with a relatively rib under UTC's name.

Qiu Qing thought that there was a turning point in Gu Ao's words just now, so he asked enthusiastically: "You said just now that there was only this cooperation, so what about now? What new breakthroughs are there?"

Gu Ao: "Director Heg gave me the bottom line. UTC's subsidiary Puhui, hoping to transfer some businesses that are no longer so advanced and have relatively high production line costs. At the same time, I hope that this transfer can further promote export orders.

After their internal preliminary review, they focused on the JD3 series and subsequent modifications. Originally, this output was also against Babies. However, Clark Consultant had a good relationship with me, so he came forward to cross out this restriction from the list. Everyone is looking for money."

This time Gu Ao directly applied for the model, but Qiu Qing couldn't understand it. After all, even if he had done his homework, he only knew some brands and could not study technical terms.

Qiu Qing scratched his hair: "JD3 series? What? Since it is a product of Pratt & Whitney, it should be an aircraft engine, right?"

Gu Ao nodded: "It's not a very advanced model, it's used by Boeing 707. However, if you want to promote this investment, you have to find a way to clear the relationship from above.

You know, civil aviation has not imported Boeing 707 since the second half of last year. I think the Soviet Tu-154 is a product that is benchmarked against the Boeing 727, but the price is cheaper than the Boeing 707. Therefore, except for the Boeing 747 that is irreplaceable in positioning and technology, it is still possible to buy American products, and the other 707s are all risky to switch to Soviet goods, or to make the Y-10 ourselves.

Therefore, if we cannot temporarily deceive Americans and make Americans believe that as long as the Boeing 707 is domesticized and the total price is reduced, it will still be competitive in the Chinese market. It will be difficult to do this - UTC and Puhui are not here to be good people. They come to China to set up factories because they want to sell more engines than they can't set up factories in China."

Qiu Qing sorted out: "What you mean is that if the civil aviation side can express its opinion: if the 707 engine is produced in China, buy more 707s, so that can it be done? Americans will not give us any outdated technology, right?"

Gu Ao: "It will definitely be sooner or later on outdated. I guess the Boeing 707 production line will be open for ten years. However, it depends on whether we can train our team and digest the results. Even if the 707 is discontinued in the future, will we learn from the JD3 manufacturing?"

Gu Ao said that he would give face for ten years. In fact, in history, the Boeing 707 was discontinued in 1992 after the end of the Cold War.

Of course, this is just the suspension of the entire machine, and it is the suspension of production from Boeing. The jd3's engine production line is Puhui, and it has been open for many years.

Because if the aircraft that have been produced are well maintained, it can be used for 20 or 30 years, and the engine needs to be replaced every two or three years. It is normal to use ten times the number of engines within the service life of a passenger aircraft. The total price of the order for ten sets of engines is equivalent to two or three complete machines. (Generally, aircraft engines can account for 30% of the price of the entire aircraft.)

Historically, in the mid-1980s, the United States had a good relationship with China. Basically, if you want to buy less advanced weapons, you can sell them, but you don’t have the money to buy them in China. The JD3 series used by Boeing 707, with Pratt & Whitney’s eyes and ears in Boeing, must have known that it has been mentioned on the iteration agenda, so you can transfer it to the outside world to reduce costs and sell more.

It is not surprising that a large aircraft company will be a distance of six or seven years or even seven or eight years from the beginning to the end of delisting, and the production line will be shut down.

However, Qiu Qing didn't know this, and he felt very surprised and unbelievable in his heart. He asked anxiously: "Americans will not have any other tricks, right? Pratt & Whitney Company is so far away to help us build our construction?"

Gu Ao couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't find those reasons to be prescient, so he had to find another one to calm people's hearts:

"Old Qiu, you just don't know anything about it. Don't think that UTC and Boeing were split out from the same company decades ago, Americans talk about free markets and competition. Boeing 707s were both old aircraft launched in the 1950s. At that time, there were no other passenger aircraft engine suppliers in the Boeing system, and all of them were used by Pratt.

But later, since 727, Rolls Reus and General Electric have all entered. For example, the best 747 sold so far, there are three engines that can be used in exchange, PW4062, Rolls Reus' rb211, and General Electric's cf6-80.

Therefore, if Boeing sells one more 747, Pratt & Whitney may not even sell one third of the engines. General Electric has the highest market share, and Pratt & Whitney is just as good as Rolls and Royce. But if you sell one more 707, it basically means that you need to use jd3.

So although this aircraft is not very profitable to Boeing, it is worth selling too much in terms of the interests of Puhui and UTC. There are also intrigues between people's capital ideas and uneven distribution of interests within."

Qiu Qing then nodded with his hands and said, "Brother, you are still knowledgeable. After studying for a doctorate with Kissinger for several years, you know the details of the American Empire."
