Chapter 1728: President of Douglas

"President Qin, welcome to Eagle Country."

When Qin Guan and the generals stepped off the plane, they immediately received a warm welcome, especially Conil, the vice president of Grumman, was also there. He took Qin Guan’s hand as if he saw it. Like old friends.

This time the happy desert country contract has finally been negotiated, which means that Grumman will have a huge business again, and what Qin Guan said to let Tomcat load ballistic missiles is also very attractive to them. Yes, they saw Qin Guan as if they saw an old friend.

Eagle Nation’s military enterprises all have one characteristic, that is, they must have a good relationship with the government and the military. Grumman is like this. Vice President Conil was originally a high-ranking military official. After resignation, he was named as a vice president at Grumman. In this way, Conil can deal with the official at any time. This is of great benefit to the development of the company, even though it is a military bid. However, there are still many doorways.

In this Red Flag military exercise, Conil was also one of the invited guests. Now, as the representative of the Eagle Country, Conil welcomes the arrival of the delegation from Han.

This is not the first time. Over the years, the relationship with the Eagle Country has been close, and the senior officials of the Han country have often visited the Eagle Country.

The two shook hands cordially, and then entered the car. The car pulled them straight to the most luxurious hotel here.

All this is paid by Grumman.

"Come on, let us toast to friendship." After entering the hotel, there was a grand welcome ceremony here. The guests from Han were treated as VIPs, and they had excellent champagne. Qin Guan brought up the glass. Drink with each other.

When it comes to drinking, Qin Guan is absolutely not afraid.

After drinking two cups, the distance has also narrowed. Conil approached Qin Guan and said to Qin Guan: "Mr. Qin, you proposed a plan for further cooperation with our Grumman Company last time. We temporarily There is still no consideration in this regard, so I am very sorry."

"This, don't worry, our friendship will last forever. In other fields, we can still make money." Qin Guan said.

Everyone is working together to make money, and the twisted melon is not sweet, and the other party has no plans to enter the civil aviation market, and Qin Guan can only give it up.

"However, if you could help me introduce someone from Douglas, I would also be grateful." Qin Guan said.

Douglas? Hearing Qin Guan's words, Cornelton was stunned: "This is very easy. Douglas President John Brisson Dyne is the Chairman of the CCPIT of the Eagle-Han Friendship Association. However, are you sure you want to see him?"

This person is the friendly chairman of the two parties and the peace ambassador, but the relationship between Qin Guan and the other party is somewhat subtle.

Because McDonnell Douglas has been selling the McDonnell Douglas 82 aircraft to Han, but this project was boycotted by Qin Guan. Now, is it appropriate for Qin Guan to go to see each other?

This is a competitor in business!

"Of course." Qin Guan said: "I really want to see this Mr. President. Now, there are still a few days before the Red Flag military exercise. Please help me arrange a meeting with the other party."

Conil nodded. He moved quickly. On the next day, President John met Qin Guan here. "Mr Qin, I have heard of the name for a long time." Old John said to Qin Guan.

"We have also admired your company for a long time." Qin Guan said: "Your achievements on the civil aviation aircraft make us very envious. We also look forward to more exchanges and cooperation with you on the civil aviation system."

Douglas is also a company with a long history. After they were in the city, they began to forge a deep friendship with the Eagle State Navy. This is also the reason why Conil has a good relationship with them. Everyone serves the Navy.

When Douglas was first established, it made torpedo bombers for the Eagle Nation Navy, but it soon made many variants based on this aircraft, such as observation aircraft and commercial transport aircraft.

In 1934, Douglas built the DC-2, a commercial twin-engine transport aircraft. Later, the famous DC-3 was introduced. During the Second World War, Douglas jumped up and became a leader in transport aircraft and passenger aircraft. Of course, they also produced various other advanced fighters, bombers, etc. After World War II, they continued to develop , But encountered problems. In 1967, due to the excessive expansion of the production of DC-9, DC-8 and A-4, Douglas' product quality and capital chain had problems. Eventually, Douglas was forced to merge with McDonald Aircraft Corporation to become McDonnell Douglas.

Although it has been merged, some businesses of Douglas and McDonald do not overlap, and they still do their own things. The first airliner started with DC. Until now, it has started with MD. The main research and development is Douglas. By the company.

It is precisely because of their research and development that traditionally let them continue to promote their own tasteless model.

For example, they launched the DC-10 in 1971, using the three-engine wide fuselage scheme they are most used to, two engines, on both sides of the tail, and a third engine at the root of the vertical tail. This layout, It is popular in this era. For example, the Trident is also deployed in this way. Unfortunately, the facts later proved that the three-engine aircraft were not very successful.

Because it is at the rear of the fuselage, the noise of the engine will not be transmitted into the cabin. Compared with the way of hanging the pod on the wing, it has good quietness. Unfortunately, there are more defects. They can be plugged into an engine at most. The configuration of four engines has resulted in the DC-10 carrying less passengers than the Boeing 747 and the range is similar to that of the Boeing 747.

They are idealistic in designing, and they can fly across domestic routes as well as international routes across oceans. As a result, it was unable to squeeze the 737 for domestic navigation, and could not compete with the 747 for international navigation.

In addition to this operational problem, another point is that its reliability is notoriously poor. In the first 10 years of its service, there were 8 serious accidents, including 4 crashes and all deaths, and 2 deaths. 50 people.

Even so, Douglas still doesn't know how to repent, and it continues to work on this kind of airplane to create McDonnell Douglas 82.

That’s good, let’s see how you play with their airliners. If you don’t play with them, how can you have a chance? This time I come here by myself, the focus is to do this, this is the first confrontation!
