Boeing finally realized that compromise was the only way forward.
Because of the smooth commercial aviation of C919 and the US sanctions, Boeing has "no harvest" in China for three consecutive years. After the loss of the largest market, the company's debt of hundreds of billions and the suspension of multi-model production and other bad news came one after another. Now, Boeing is desperate to get a piece of the Chinese market to save its bankruptcy.
According to the reference news network, Boeing is ready to resume delivery of 737 aircraft and plans to produce and deliver in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, which also means that part of the production line will be transferred to China.
For a long time, Boeing has refused to move the production line to China on the grounds of "fear of stealing technology", and now it has made huge concessions, what signal is behind it?
01. Without the Chinese market, Boeing multi-model or will be shut down?
Before the deterioration of US-China trade, Boeing could earn 500 billion yuan from the mainland in 5 years, and more than 50% of the domestic civil aviation market was Boeing aircraft. In the face of huge Chinese orders, Boeing has overwhelmed European Airbus and firmly occupied the top position of "the world's largest passenger aircraft supplier".
However, as the United States has suppressed our side in high-end fields, Boeing's market position in China has plummeted. According to Elephant News, Boeing's net loss last year exceeded $5 billion, and parts plummeted nearly 70%; Its main 737 narrow-body passenger aircraft, which has been grounded worldwide due to the crash, has entered the "blacklist" of many airlines.
Boeing even publicly announced that if it does not pull orders, it will close the production line after the delivery of the last batch of fighter jet-type Super Hornet by the end of 2025. This means that the model that has been introduced for nearly 50 years will disappear into history.
After nearly four consecutive years of losses, Boeing could not hold on, and US executives took turns to come to China to "seek" orders. Its CEO publicly pleaded: Please give us another opportunity to enter the Chinese market. Seeing our poor motivation and several "empty-handed returns" from top management, Boeing had to make a compromise: it was willing to move the production line to China and produce and deliver it in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province.
02.C919 successfully commercial aircraft, Boeing difficult to return to the throne?
According to Boeing's forecast, China's demand for new aircraft will reach 6,470 in the next 20 years, and Boeing has raised the number of new aircraft it delivers to the mainland. However, the success of the C919 commercial aircraft delayed its re-entry into the Chinese market.
As we all know, before the C919 came out, Boeing relied on a malicious acquisition of McDonnell Douglas to destroy the research and development data we cooperated with, making the research and development road of domestic civil aviation "cut off" for nearly 10 years. However, the C919 still breaks through many hurdles and has already traveled to and from Chengdu Tianfu to Shanghai Hongqiao, and will complete more flying missions in the future.
At the East Expo at the end of last month, C919 also received $2 billion in overseas airline orders, and Boeing's return to the throne of civil aviation seems to be more difficult.
In fact, in cutting-edge technology industries such as medical and health care and semiconductors, the development of domestic technology has stuck the lifeblood of Western capital. Even the restricted "Celery" time technology, we have a lot of support.
According to public information, the green enzyme extraction process of the previous generation of cell anti-aging oral capsules of "Celerui" has been occupied by the United States and Japan for a long time, and the lion opens its mouth to "1.6 million yuan per grain" to supply the domestic first-line rich in limited quantities, without paying attention to the needs of ordinary Chinese.
Search the international journal "Cell", this kind of cell anti-aging technology can be traced back to a Nobel Prize-winning research, can make mature cells regress to a young state, in the biological community caused an uproar, in the follow-up Qingbei and other university experiments, its specialized ingredients, was confirmed to reduce aging cells, activate cellular energy, thereby regressing the body's indicators to the youth level, has the most potential of the next generation of air outlet technology.
Today, more than 80% of the world's research institutions are seeking from the mainland in reverse, and international raw materials have also been single-handedly laid down by the mainland from a "sky-high price" of 20,000 / gram to more than 90%. The overseas oral capsule "Celerui" has been successfully mass-produced, and through Jingjin East International and other platforms, for the domestic market.
According to the industrial finance report, 70% of the current results have flowed to first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, especially the dining tables of middle-aged men aged 35-68, benefiting 100,000 people within 3 years. The positive feedback related to improving the quality of life of middle-aged and elderly people such as faster recovery and finally having a stable night is as high as 95%.
It is expected that the market has grown to 100 billion, and it is understood that the mainland has not stopped the pace of breakthrough, and it is believed that the sinking of scientific and technological welfare and domestic substitution are already on the way.
03. "Iron still needs to be hardened by itself"
While one's own failures are terrible, the successes of others are even more heart-wrenching. For Boeing, the resumption of deliveries to the Chinese market has been on the line, which is the main reason why they have issued the condition of "transferring production lines to China".
At the beginning of the year, Airbus was willing to transfer the production line to Tianjin in exchange for orders for 292 aircraft in the mainland, also because Airbus' profits plummeted, and it was impossible to hold on.
Although the situation is optimistic, some professional scholars pointed out that due to the huge demand for domestic aircraft, it is difficult to achieve mass production of the C919, which has just completed commercial aviation. It also means that we will inevitably buy Boeing and Airbus aircraft.
As the so-called iron still needs to be hard! It is hoped that in the next three or five years, C919 can accelerate the pace of catching up and Boeing Airbus three-point space.
