Boeing China Ltd. BJ Representative Office.
"Mr. Carlisle, Boeing is raising the prices of many of its aircraft models. The prices are too high, and China Southern Airlines simply cannot afford them!" Jin Feijie, the purchasing manager of China Southern Airlines, complained.
Paul Carlisle, however, refused to back down. He argued that since the planes were expensive, they could get a loan from the bank.
"Manager Jin, we have no choice. The cost of raw materials and labor for Boeing aircraft is rising, and Boeing's orders are currently very tight, so we have to raise prices!" Paul Carlisle explained, feigning helplessness.
Jin Feijie, the purchasing manager of China Southern Airlines, couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. China Southern originally planned to purchase 10 Boeing 747s to barely meet the current customer demand. However, the price of the Boeing 747 has increased by 32.5%, causing problems with China Southern's purchasing plan.
Jin Feijie had spoken with Boeing representatives several times, but they remained adamant in their refusal to budge, leaving Jin Feijie feeling helpless.
"If China had its own planes, why would it have to beg foreigners for its approval?" Jin Feijie shook his head and sighed.
A short while later, Jin Feijie walked out of the Boeing China Ltd. BJ representative office.
I just got in the car, ready to go back to the company.
Just then, a phone call came through on his cell phone.
"Manager Jin, are you still at Boeing?" came the voice of Han Yinghua, General Manager of China Southern Airlines, over the phone.
"No, I just came from there..." Jin Feijie sighed, "Unfortunately, they still won't agree to lower the price!"
Han Yinghua then scoffed, "Since Boeing isn't willing to lower its price, then we won't buy their planes! You hurry back to the company; representatives from Galaxy Technology will be coming to our company tomorrow morning. They've independently developed a regional jet!!!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Feijie was greatly surprised. "Galaxy Technology Company is so amazing! They developed a regional jet so quickly. It's unbelievable!"
Galaxy Technologies entered the passenger aircraft market relatively late. Neither domestic airlines nor foreign aircraft manufacturers anticipated that Galaxy Technologies' regional jet development would proceed so quickly.
Boeing's internal expert team speculated that Galaxy Technologies' regional jet would not be successfully developed until after 2005, which is why Boeing was so confident and dared to raise prices significantly during the booming Chinese aviation market!
Han Yinghua laughed loudly, "Of course Galaxy Technology Company is amazing! From what I've learned from them, this regional jet is called 'Galaxy Azure Phoenix 98,' with '98' representing its passenger capacity of 98. It uses two independently developed 'Galaxy Taishan 1' turbofan jet engines with a thrust of 64kN, and its fuel consumption is very low!"
"What about the price?!" Jin Feijie asked hurriedly. The "Galaxy·Azure Phoenix 98" has 98 seats and such strong engine thrust. Although it is a regional jet, it is no less powerful than a mainline jet.
"I don't know yet, but I imagine the price should be very cheap!" Han Yinghua guessed.
"Okay, I'll be right back to the company!" Jin Feijie said excitedly. He then hung up the phone and was about to start the car when he turned his head and glanced at the Boeing China Ltd. Beijing Representative Office through the car window, a hint of disdain and mockery on his face.
"You stupid Boeing company, screw them, I'm not buying your planes anymore!!!"
Jin Feijie laughed triumphantly, his gloomy and depressed mood vanishing.
Based on his understanding of Galaxy Technology and Zhao Ye, the price of the "Galaxy·Qingluan 98" regional jet must be very reasonable and affordable!
Perhaps this will be an opportunity for China Southern Airlines to rise rapidly!
Jin Feijie grew increasingly excited, his heart pounding. In the blink of an eye, the car sped off into the distance, disappearing at the end of the road…
...
The next morning, Han Yinghua, Jin Feijie, and others waited early at the company gate for the representatives of Galaxy Technology Company.
At around 9:15 a.m., three representatives from Galaxy Technology Company drove their car to the entrance of China Southern Airlines Company.
After exchanging pleasantries, Han Yinghua, Jin Feijie, and others led the three representatives from Galaxy Technology to the company's reception room.
After everyone was seated, Tong Kangbo, as the representative of Galaxy Technology Company, got straight to the point and introduced the "Galaxy·Qingluan 98" to the senior executives of China Southern Airlines. At the same time, his assistant began to distribute materials to everyone.
The standard version of the "Galaxy Azure Phoenix 98" aircraft is 36.19 meters long, 7.57 meters high, and has a wingspan of 23.20 meters. Its empty weight is [missing data] kg, maximum takeoff weight is [missing data] kg, maximum landing weight is [missing data] kg, and maximum payload is [missing data] kg. Its maximum cruising speed is 860 km/h, and its maximum range is 2800 km. The standard cabin layout seats 98 passengers.
"The 'Galaxy-Taishan Type 1' turbofan jet engine has a rated thrust of 64 kN and a fuel capacity of 1 liter."
"Photos of the 'Galaxy Taishan 1' and 'Galaxy Qingluan 98' are included in the information; please take a close look, especially at the cabin layout. Each row has four seats with a 79cm pitch, and it features forward and aft lavatories and a forward galley. Custom adjustments are available if you are not satisfied."
Han Yinghua, Jin Feijie, and the others had no reason to be dissatisfied. Judging from the photos, the aircraft had a dolphin-shaped fuselage with simple and smooth lines, making it very beautiful! The cabin layout also looked very beautiful and comfortable!
China Southern Airlines is willing to place an order as long as the price is right.
After a while, once everyone had reviewed the information, Han Yinghua asked, "Manager Tong, what is the price of your company's 'Galaxy·Azure Phoenix 98'?"
