Chapter three hundred and seventieth deadlock

Everyone sat down and didn't take long to greet each other and immediately got to the point.

Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Marceldo, are you still satisfied with the test flight of our turbofan 18 engine?"

Marceldo said: "Satisfied, very satisfied, the overall performance of the turbofan 18 engine is very outstanding. In my opinion, this is a very good power for a regional passenger aircraft."

Hearing this, Li Tianfeng was happy, and everyone at Tianfeng Technology Company was also happy. Marceldo's evaluation was so high that a large order would definitely be formed later.

Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Marceldo, let me tell you the good news that our turbofan 18 engine will soon enter mass production."

Entering mass production means that it can be delivered to users. Li Tianfeng’s implication is that Embraer can order this engine.

At the Zhuhai Air Show, the turbofan 18 engine was still in the design stage, so Marceldo made it clear that as long as this engine enters mass production, his company will order this engine.

Upon hearing this, Marceldo smiled: "Mr. Li, the turbofan 18 engine is indeed a very good engine. Our company needs it very much. We are also planning to order this engine, but we have a condition."

"Oh." Li Tianfeng asked in confusion: "Mr. Marceldo, what are your conditions?"

Marceldo said: "Mr. Li, we can order the turbofan 18 engine, but we have to sign an additional agreement that this engine can only be supplied exclusively to us and cannot be sold to other companies."

Li Tianfeng didn't have to think about it and immediately said, "Mr. Marceldo. This is impossible."

Marceldo continued: "Mr. Li, in the agreement, we can also make it clear that the number of turbofan 18 engines we order every year is no less than 200 units. What about? In this way, the sales of your engine will be guaranteed."

This condition is very attractive. But Li Tianfeng would never do this. So what if 200 engines are fully opened up the market, with the excellent comprehensive performance of the turbofan 18 engine, it is not a problem to sell hundreds of units a year.

Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Marceldo, this is absolutely impossible. Our engine is positioned to the global market and it is impossible to supply an exclusive aircraft manufacturing company."

Marceldo shrugged and said, "Mr. Li, that's a great regret. Before coming here, our company's board of directors has made a resolution that as long as your turbofan 18 engine is exclusively supplied to our company, our annual order of this engine is no less than 200 units. In addition, turbofan 16 engines and turbofan 17 engines are signed. We guarantee that it will account for at least 30% of our engine procurement."

Li Tianfeng smiled and the 30% share is really high!

Embraer's sudden harsh conditions put the whole atmosphere into a deadlock, and everyone at Tianfeng Technology Company showed even more solemnity.

Xu Lilong said: "Mr. Marceldo, there is never a precedent in the world to put forward such conditions. Such conditions are too harsh. We will not agree."

Marceldo said: "That's a very regrettable. Originally, I was going to order a large number of engines from you. Now it seems that it is basically impossible."

Marceldo is very particular about skills. At this time, he also put forward the bait of "prepare to order a large number of engines" with the goal of attracting Tianfeng Technology Company to submit.

However, who is Li Tianfeng? How could he get caught? Li Tianfeng said lightly: "Mr. Marceldo, if you want to order our engine, we welcome it, but if you want to sign any additional agreement and require our engine to be exclusively supplied, it is absolutely impossible."

Marceldo spread his hands, his expression seemed to be saying, then I can do nothing, this is the decision of the board of directors.

Li Tianfeng stood up and waved, "Mr. Liu, see off the guests."

Liu Wei stood up and said politely: "Mr. Marceldo, please, this business negotiation has ended."

Marceldo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth. Seeing that Li Tianfeng and others had already stood up and left, Marceldo said nothing. The two of them spread their mouths, shook their heads, and stood up to say goodbye.

Li Tianfeng returned to his office, and Xu Lilong followed him in. Xu Lilong said with anger: "It's so unreasonable. He actually put forward such harsh conditions."

It seems that Xu Lilong was also full of hope for Marceldo and his party to conduct a business inspection this time. He originally hoped that Marceldo could sign an order with his company, but he did not think that the end result was this.

The contrast in Li Tianfeng's heart was also quite large, and his face was not good-looking. Li Tianfeng said lightly: "Businessmen are seeking profits, and these Brazilians are no exception. They want to completely control our engines so that their own competitors cannot buy their engines."

Xu Lilong said: "Mr. Li, it seems that Embraer has a relatively thorough and comprehensive understanding of our engines and finds that our engines are very good. He is worried that such a good engine will be obtained by its competitors, so he has to sign a so-called additional agreement with us."

Li Tianfeng clicked a little, just now, Li Tianfeng thought about it for a moment and had already figured it out.

Li Tianfeng said: "Emma Embraer's biggest competitor is Bombardier. Obviously, they already know that Bombardier has contact with us and want to take the opportunity to cut off our cooperation with Bombardier."

After hearing what Li Tianfeng said, Xu Lilong understood even more. Xu Lilong said angrily: "Boss, next time Embraer comes to us. If we want to order our engine, we must raise the price and take revenge on them."

Li Tianfeng said: "Let's talk about this matter, Mr. Xu, keep in close contact with Bombardier. If necessary, you can go to Canada in person. This time, we must make an effort to form a good cooperative relationship with Bombardier."

Xu Lilong said: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do it."

………

The huge hope was dashed, and Li Tianfeng felt a little disappointed. In the past two days, Li Tianfeng has basically stayed in his office and was still working on his own design technical outline of the turbofan 20 engine.

Li Tianfeng knew that at this time, he could only wait quietly, waiting for the end of a series of test flights of the turbofan 17 engine at Bombardier, so that this engine would win the other party's recognition.

As for production, no matter whether it is the turbofan 16 engine or the turbofan 17 engine, it cannot be stopped. If you are fully producing, Li Tianfeng has confidence in his engine. It would be unreasonable to have such an excellent engine without a buyer.

Li Tianfeng has no good method or strategy to knock on the door of aviation industry giants like Airbus and Boeing to let his engines enter these two companies and install the aircraft produced by these two companies.

This requires accumulating enough safe flight time or relying on market promotion. If the market recognizes its own engines, I believe that even Airbus and Boeing will probably take the initiative to contact them.

Sitting on his boss' chair, Li Tianfeng thought a lot, and then turned on the design technical outline of the turbofan 20 engine in his computer.

This design technical outline has taken Li Tianfeng a lot of effort. During this period, Li Tianfeng's main energy is on this design technical outline. Now, this design technical outline has basically been formed and can basically develop the design on this basis.

However, before unfolding the design of the turbofan 20 engine, Li Tianfeng was still preparing to take a look at this design technical outline for Sun Xiaoping, Qiu Wen'an and others. We will discuss and discuss it carefully together. After there is indeed no problem, it will not be too late to unfold the design.

Li Tianfeng was looking at the design outline when the phone rang. When Li Tianfeng saw that it was a call from COMAC Ma Delong, he couldn't help but think, is Mr. Ma going to order the engine from him?

When Li Tianfeng thought about this in his heart, he couldn't help but smile. Since his talk with Marceldo broke down, he always thought about how to sell his engine.

After a phone call, Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Ma, you are such a rare guest. We haven't contacted each other for a while. Is there anything wrong?"

Ma Delong smiled happily and said, "Mr. Li, I can't look for you if I have nothing to do!"

Li Tianfeng also smiled: "Of course, but I think it's working hours now, and Mr. Ma's time is precious, so it's not as simple as chatting with me."

Ma Delong said: "Mr. Li, there is indeed a serious matter. After our Arj21 passenger plane was equipped with the turbofan 17 engine, dozens of aircraft have been delivered. The market has received very good results. We are planning to increase the production scale of the Arj21 passenger plane to keep up with the needs of the market."

Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Ma, this is a wise move. Just the domestic regional passenger aircraft market is a huge market. If you develop another 50-seat regional passenger aircraft, the market share will be greater."

Ma Delong said: "To develop another 50-seat regional passenger aircraft, we need to make a long-term plan. At present, what we need to do is to increase the production capacity of the arj21 passenger aircraft."

Li Tianfeng said: "Improving the production capacity of the arj21 passenger plane is also the most direct and effective way."

Ma Delong said: "Mr. Li, I called here to tell you that I am going to lead a team to Tianfeng Technology Company for a business inspection."

It was another business investigation, and Li Tianfeng couldn't help but smile.
