Chapter 703: After-sales service

The voyage from London to Tel Aviv is about 3,500 kilometers, and it takes 5 hours to fly. Tan Zhenhua and the others took the Airbus A300, the pride of the European aviation industry.
The Airbus A300 is the world's first double-engine wide-body airliner and the first airliner put into production by Airbus. Because it uses a large number of advanced digital automation technologies, this aircraft has become the world's first wide-body aircraft that can be driven by only two pilots.
When the project was first launched, only Gaul and West Hans participated, and then the Netherlands and Spain also joined in, while Britain, one of the most important aerospace powers in Europe, has been watching with cold eyes until the development of the aircraft has been completed. On the right track, results are about to be produced, and Gaul and West Hans made a lot of determination to build this aircraft. For this reason, they even abandoned other domestic passenger aircraft development plans. Hawke Sidley Aerospace Industries, Inc. participated as an enterprise.
Hawke Sidley Aerospace Industry Company later merged with British Aviation Industry Corporation to become the current British Aerospace Corporation and inherited the Airbus A300 project. However, it did not spend much energy on this project at the beginning. After all, the
BAC
airliners sold well at that time, but the Airbus A300’s market sales ran into trouble, except for the two most resolute countries, driven by the will of the country, led by Gaul Airlines and Lufthansa. Apart from the purchase of some aircraft, there are basically no other customers. At the most bleak time, there were even 16 aircraft that had been manufactured but could not find a buyer, so they had to park the aircraft "white tail" on the tarmac of the manufacturing plant. .
As mentioned in the previous article, aircraft, especially large passenger aircraft, are reproduced in most cases after receiving orders from customers, and as a short-sale commodity with scarce resources, passenger aircraft orders are generally queued, and some are selling well. The aircraft even needs to queue for several years, so the aircraft will usually have the logo of the airline that ordered the aircraft painted on its tail when it is still on the production line, and the Airbus A300 actually has 16 "white tails", which shows the market situation. Difficult.
Moreover, another well-known British company, Rolls-Royce, is also very dissatisfied with the Airbus A300. They did not even participate in the bidding for the engine used in the aircraft...
Until after 1977, with the gradual rise of the Asian market, and because the Asian market was not subject to the US FAA aviation regulations, it was easier to accept double-engine wide-body airliners, and in the process of use, double-engine wide-body airliners did have economic The advantage of sex, Airbus finally ushered in the opportunity for development. Subsequently, the US FAA revised the regulations to allow the use of twin-engine aircraft on medium and long-range routes. Airbus finally broke out. In 1981, Airbus won 300 passenger aircraft and 200 intentional orders in one fell swoop, forcing Boeing to be unable to While not investing heavily in the research and development of the 767 airliner to deal with it, it finally made Britain, who had always been the first rat at both ends, determined to fully devote itself to the Airbus plan, and tried its best to win the right to produce and sell the entire A300 in its own country.
And this also contributed to Tan Zhenhua's ability to trade at the floor price for a "BAC" passenger aircraft production line that will soon be abandoned by British Aerospace.
It is sad to say that the production line that is about to be phased out by others is a peerless treasure for the current China.
Tan Zhenhua thought about this silently, and the plane finally landed at Ben Gurion Airport.
Ben Gurion is Isaac’s largest international airport. It was founded in 1936. Its history is even longer than that of Isaac, which was officially founded in 1948. It is located in Lourdes, 15 kilometers southeast of Tel Aviv, the second largest city in Isa. Germany, it is the headquarters of Isaac Aviation Industry Corporation.
This company was established in 1953, five years after the founding of Issa. At the beginning of its establishment, there were only 70 employees. The initial work site was just a sand dune company near the airport. Now it has grown into the most important part of Israel’s defense industry. Enterprise, no one.
Issa Aviation Industry Corporation IAI, formerly known as Bedek Airlines, is the founder and first president of Schwimmer, a Jew of the rice nationality. He moved to this new country when Isaac was founded and personally helped Isaac this new country. Jianguo. With the support of Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, and Shimon Perez, then Director-General of the Ministry of National Defense, Schwimmer used his experience and knowledge in aviation, electronics and business to establish the best defense industry for Israel. An important cornerstone.
After thirty years of development, IAI has now grown into a giant in the military industry, providing advanced technologies and systems in almost all military fields, including aviation, aerospace, land, sea, network and homeland security, and the industry chain Quite complete, from the most basic components, sensors to subsystems, large-scale fully integrated systems can provide a complete solution.
It can be said that IAI is the mainstay of the entire Israeli defense industry.
Please note that this powerful company is unique in a country founded by Jews full of business cells as the main ethnic group in Israel. It is an authentic state-owned enterprise that is like a fake!
IAI obviously attaches great importance to the Huaxia technical delegation this time. The pick-up team they sent includes the current company’s first vice president David Yuskin, marketing director Luria Buxbaum and Tan Zhenhua. The main target of the party is Heinrich Neumann, the current general manager of ELTA Systems, IAI's specialized radar and fire control system subsidiary.
And Tan Zhenhua's people are all composed of 4014 members-the lame man who doesn't understand anything has also mixed in as a security officer, which really surprised Tan Zhenhua himself.
These personnel have already understood each other in the telegrams and letters of the exchange schedule, and Tan Zhenhua was particularly surprised that he actually met an acquaintance in the team who came to pick up the plane-Werner Michael Blou Mensar.
He hurried forward to meet him and asked: "Mr. Warner, why are you here?"
Warner smiled and said: "Of course it is to welcome you, knowing that you are coming to Israel to visit IAI, I will come to say hello in advance. David Justkin is a good friend of mine for many years. If I will introduce you, Maybe it can help you smoother."
Tan Zhenhua was immediately grateful. This Mr. Warner was really an enthusiastic person. He originally thought that he had already made money after paying US$4 million and passing through the "Committee on U.S.-Israel Relations." Liangqing, but he did not expect that he would fly to Isaac to do after-sales service in person when he did not actively ask for it... Ahem, be the introducer between himself and IAI. This favor, Xiao Tan Tan took it down.
In other words, it is no wonder that the Jewish business is doing well, and it can occupy a large part of the world economy and wisdom territory with a population base of only 16 million. With today's after-sales service, there will be things in the future. It will be hard not to be his repeat customers!
