1728: C1728 The President of Douglas Company

C1728 The President of Douglas Company

"President Qin, welcome to Y Country."

When Qin Guan and the generals got off the plane, they were immediately welcomed, especially the vice president of Grumman Company, Kearney Er. He held Qin Guan's hand as if he had seen an old friend.

The contract of Happy Desert Country was finally signed. This meant that Grumman Company would have another huge business. Furthermore, Qin Guan's words about letting the male cat carry the Ballistic Missile were very attractive to them. When they saw Qin Guan, it was as if they had seen an old friend.

The military industry in Y Country had a special characteristic. That was, they had to have a good relationship with the government and the military. The Grumman Company was like this. The vice president, Kearney Er, was a high ranking officer in the military. After he left the military, he became the Vice President of the Grumman Company. This way, Kearney Er could interact with the officials at any time. For the development of the company... It would be very beneficial, even though it was a military bid. But there were still many ways to go about it.

This time in Red Flag Military Drill, Kearney Er was also one of the invited guests. Now, Kearney Er was the representative of Y Country to welcome the arrival of the expedition team from Han Country.

This was not the first time. All these years, he had a close relationship with Y Country. The senior officials of Han Country often came to Y Country to inspect him.

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

All of this was paid by the Grumman Company.

"Come, let's toast to our friendship." After entering the hotel, there was still a grand welcoming ceremony. The guests from Han Country were treated as distinguished guests. Qin Guan opened the best champagne and raised his glass. He drank it up with the other party.

Qin Guan was definitely not afraid of drinking.

After drinking two cups, the distance between them shortened. Kearney Er came to Qin Guan's side and said to him, "President Qin, the last time you proposed a plan to further cooperate with our Grumman Company. We don't have such considerations for the time being. So... I'm very sorry. "

"Well, you don't have to worry about that. Our friendship is eternal. In other fields, we can still make money." Qin Guan said.

Everyone was working together to make money. Forcing a melon was not sweet. The other party did not have any plans to enter the commercial market, so Qin Guan could only give up.

"However, if you can help me introduce someone from the Douglas Company, I will also be grateful." Qin Guan said.

Douglas? Kearney Er was shocked when he heard Qin Guan's words. "That's easy. The CEO of Douglas, John Bryson Dain. He is the president of the Eagle and Han Friendship Association. But are you sure you want to see him?"

This person was the chairman of the friendly association, the ambassador of peace. However, the relationship between Qin Guan and him was a little strange.

This was because the McDonnell-Douglas Corporation had been promoting the wheat road 82 passenger plane to Han Country, but this project was rejected by Qin Guan. Now, was it appropriate for Qin Guan to meet the other party?

This was a competitor in business!

"Of course." Qin Guan said, "I really want to see this Mr. President. There are still a few days left before the Red Flag Military Drill arrives. Please help me arrange a meeting with him."

Kearney Er nodded. He was very fast. The next day, John and Qin Guan had a meeting here. "President Qin, I have heard a lot about you." John said to Qin Guan.

"We have heard a lot about your company." Qin Guan said, "Your achievements in the Civil Aircraft have made us very envious. We also look forward to having more communication and cooperation with you in the Civil Aviation System. "

Douglas Company was also a long-established enterprise. After they were in the city, they began to form a deep friendship with the Y Country Navy. This was also the reason why Kearney Er had a good relationship with them. Everyone served the navy.

When the Douglas Company was just established, they created torpedo bombers for the Y Country Navy. However, they quickly created many variations on the basis of these kinds of planes, such as observation planes and commercial transport planes.

In 1934, the Douglas created a commercial dual engine transport, DC-2. Later on, it introduced the famous DC-3. During the second trip to the World War, the Douglas Company jumped up and became a transport. They were the best in terms of passenger planes. Of course, they also produced all kinds of advanced fighter planes. After World War II, they continued to develop, but they encountered a problem. In 1967, due to the excessive expansion of DC-9, the production of the DC-8 and A-4 caused problems in the quality and capital chain of Douglas Company's products. In the end, it forced Douglas Company and MacDonald Aircraft Company to merge into Mai Dao.

Although it had already merged, some of the businesses of Douglas and MacDonald Company did not overlap. They still did their own things. The first passenger plane. It started with the DC. Until now, it was the beginning of the MD. The main research and development was still conducted by Douglas Company.

It was also because of their research and development that the tradition allowed them to continue pushing forward their own useless model.

For example, in 1971, they launched the DC-10 and adopted the three-engine wide body plan that they were most used to. The two engines were on both sides of the tail, at the base of the vertical tail, and the third engine. Such a layout was popular in this era. For example, the Trident was also arranged in such a way. Unfortunately, later on, it turned out that the three planes were not successful.

As it was at the tail of the plane, the noise from its engine wasn't transmitted into the cabin. Compared to the way the wings hung the cabin, it was much quieter. Unfortunately, there were more flaws. They could only fit in one more engine at most. It's impossible to have the structure of four engines, so... As a result, the DC-10 passenger volume was less than Boeing 747, and the flight distance was similar to Boeing 747.

They were very idealistic when designing. They could fly across the local sea route, and they could also fly across the international sea route. As a result, they could not squeeze 737 nautical miles on land, and international sailing could not compete with 747 nautical miles.

Apart from this operation problem, the other thing was that it was notorious for its reliability. In the first ten years of its service, there were eight serious accidents, of which four were destroyed and everyone died. More than 50 people died in 2 incidents.

Even so, the Douglas Company did not know how to repent. They continued to work on this plane, creating a scam like the 82 wheat road.1

This was also good. He wanted to see how he was going to toy with their passenger plane. If he did not toy with them to death, how would he have the chance? The main point of his visit this time was to do this. This was the first time they had exchanged blows!
