Chapter 823 They are all competitors
"Now, Dassault is our competitor!"
Huang Yi pointed at the Dassault aircraft and said.
"To be precise, French fighter jets, as well as all European and American fighter jets, are our competitors!" Yang Ming corrected, "But I have confidence in our aircraft. Our aircraft will definitely win the favor of the market!"
Compared with aircraft of the same performance in Europe and the United States, China's aircraft are extremely cost-effective.
For example, second-generation aircraft, the price of Chinese aircraft is less than half of that of European and American aircraft.
This has great appeal to third world countries.
The vast number of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America are poor and weak countries. They simply don't have that much money to buy expensive advanced fighter jets from Europe and the United States. They want what they want if they can buy what they want with the least amount of money.
The Chinese delegation came to participate in the exhibition, and the target customer group was not European and American countries, but the vast number of Asian, African and Latin American countries.
Invisibly, this has created a competitive relationship with all European and American countries.
Huang Yi and Yang Ming walked around the venue and interacted with their colleagues.
They don't know English or French, but they have translators to help them translate.
Finally, the time came for the opening ceremony of the Farnborough Air Show.
Important figures from the UK came to attend the opening ceremony, which was very grand.
The air show scene was very lively.
The aviation industry in Europe is very developed, and that has a foundation. The foundation is that there are a large number of aviation enthusiasts.
Coupled with aviation enthusiasts, military fans and tourists from all over the world, the venue will be packed.
The most important thing for everyone when they come here is to see those world-famous fighter planes and watch the wonderful flight performances.
Air shows and flight performances are the most attractive!
As for some air shows, they are said to be air shows, but in fact they should be said to be model shows.
Spectators came in huge numbers and were everywhere from the venue to the outdoor display area.
The Farnborough Airshow attracted tens of thousands of people.
Of course, if you expand it indoors, you can only see models and promotional videos, as well as some missile weapons.
As for airplanes, etc., they are all in the outdoor display area.
Huaxia’s booth also welcomed many visitors.
J-7 series fighter jets, J-8 series fighter jets, K8 primary training aircraft, J-7 advanced training aircraft, J-7A higher-education aircraft, and Eagle higher-education aircraft have all attracted much attention.
Delegations from many countries came to consult.
Obviously, this piqued their interest.
The staff is very enthusiastic in introducing people who come for consultation.
Here, there are mainly some image materials of various types of aircraft, as well as promotional brochures.
In front of each aircraft, there is a computer specially used to play video materials, and there are also some promotional brochures.
Some of the staff speak English, some speak French, and some speak Spanish, Italian and Arabic.
Since the reform and opening up, as the country’s investment in education has continued to increase and the government has sent overseas students every year, a number of talents have been trained, and there is no longer a shortage of talents like it was ten years ago.
Of course, it would be impossible to reach a purchase agreement today.
Because buying a fighter jet is not like buying cabbage at the vegetable market, you decide to buy it after just one look. When buying an airplane, you can't just buy one. A small purchase can cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Therefore, even if a country is interested in a certain model of China's aircraft, it must conduct a comprehensive investigation before making a decision.
But whenever they compare products, they will find that China's fighter jets are the most cost-effective.
The third brother looked at it with a look of pain.
Rationally speaking, the most suitable thing for the third brother, who is currently short of funds, to buy is a Chinese aircraft.
But after looking at his own situation and the root cause, the third brother is not allowed to buy Huaxia aircraft.
Otherwise, they would all be drowned in saliva.
And the most painful thing for the third brother is that the Chinese people have almost no kickbacks at all.
In this regard, it is far inferior to France.
Now the situation of the third brother is not very good. Since the conflict between India and Pakistan broke out and the third brother failed, the third brother has been in a big dilemma.
We are surrounded by enemy countries. Although we have not fought in recent years, small conflicts on the border have never stopped.
With a long border of up to 5,000 kilometers, the third brother had to maintain millions of troops to maintain border security. Although the Soviet Union also provided assistance to the third brother, with the outbreak of the Gulf War, oil prices were suppressed, and the Soviet Union's oil revenue increased. The landlord's family had no surplus food, so the aid to the third brother was reduced.
The third brother's life was not easy.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is caused by internal and external troubles.
Looking at my former neighbor in the north, they were living a prosperous life. It was impossible not to be jealous.
It was obvious that the starting point was much better than that of its northern neighbor, but in less than half a century, the situation on both sides was completely different.
It's not just the third brother who has complicated thoughts.
People in Japan and South Korea are also very complicated.
Japan rushed to establish diplomatic relations with China before the United States established diplomatic relations. Japan also took a close look at the Chinese market. After all, China has the largest population in the world.
But Japan did not expect that China's development would be so rapid.
That is not to develop low-end manufacturing first, then mid-range manufacturing, and finally high-end manufacturing.
After China's reform and opening up, low, medium and high-end manufacturing industries have developed together, and they have developed very rapidly.
Originally, Japan thought that it was about to open up the Chinese automobile market, but the Huaxia Automobile Group came out of nowhere and firmly occupied the market with its excellent performance and suitability for Chinese people. Japanese cars are imported cars and have tariffs, which makes it impossible for them to compete with the Huaxia Automobile Group without cost-effectiveness. Huaxia Automobile even exports cars to compete with Japanese car companies.
Huaxia Motorcycle Group has defeated the Japanese Motorcycle Group and become the world's largest motorcycle company. In the competition in the overseas market, Japanese motorcycles have not taken any advantage and lost a large market share.
Japanese machine tools have not exported many machine tools to China. Instead, Huaxia machine tools are going international and seizing the market share of Japanese machine tool companies.
Not to mention King Long Computer, which is currently the number one computer brand in the Japanese computer market.
In the field of aerospace, let alone, Japan is severely restricted by the Americans in this regard.
In addition, the Japanese stock market and real estate bubble burst, and the Japanese economy was hit hard. Now the GDP is still ranked second in the world, but only the Japanese can feel that life is not easy.
Even the Japanese found that the market share of the No. 1 shipbuilding industry, which they had dominated for many years, was constantly losing to China.
If this continues, it will probably not take many years for China's shipbuilding industry to surpass Japan and then leave Japan's shipbuilding industry far behind.
The wages of Chinese workers are far lower than those of Japanese workers. In terms of cost performance, China has too much advantage.
Even Japanese companies have to set up factories in China to reduce costs and improve their competitiveness in order to develop.
