Chapter 1389

In fact, Bao Zixuan felt in his heart that President Leo was really talented; he really wanted to use it for himself. In that way, in the field of aviation, you can worry less. But even if you have this idea, you can't express it easily. If you encounter an executive who is not on your side, it may be more troublesome to recruit.

The older the rivers and lakes are, the less timid they are; what they say is still very reasonable. The scale of the enterprise was not large before, so it was not enough to cause the fear of outsiders. But at this moment, the strength of the Black Cloud Group may be focused on at the national level. Of course, we must be careful in everything. If one is bad, it will fall into the ditch, and even thinking about it is hard.

But now is not the time to think about these things, to maximize the level of super salesmen. The future becomes the Paris Air Show, and a miracle in the world of aviation.

The predecessor of Qantas was the Queensland and Northern Territory Air Services Limited established on November 16, 1920, which initially provided airmail services to the Australian Government.

In 1934, Qantas and British Imperial Airways established a new company: Qantas Imperial Airways Limited, each holding 49% of the shares and the other 2% owned by sole shareholders. Australian Imperial Airways has started flying between Singapore and Brisbane, as well as a flight to London.

During World War II, many aircraft were lost in flight in the Australian Imperial Air Forces squadron requisitioned to serve the military. After World War II, Qantas was nationalized and bought by the government.

In 1952, Qantas expanded its route across the Indian Ocean to Africa, calling it the Wallaby route. The 1954 merger of Commonwealth Pacific Airlines extended the network to North America. This is called the southern crossing route. In 1958, Qantas became one of the few global airlines operating from Australia to the UK, via Asia and the Middle East and across the South.

Because of its special geographical location, Qantas basically flies intercontinental. Although Australia has a vast land and rich mineral resources, it is too much to describe it as a vast land and sparsely populated. And several large cities in China are basically built around the coastline; seaplanes or yachts may be more suitable.

Therefore, it can be said that there is absolutely a lot of demand for large aircraft, especially super-large passenger aircraft.

As early as March 1979, Qantas' last Boeing 707 ended its operational mission, making Qantas the only airline in the world that only consisted of Boeing 747 aircraft. In the same year, Qantas launched the business class service, the first airline in the world to do so.

It can be said that this is definitely an airline that has a soft spot for large aircraft, and it is impossible for any civil airliner manufacturing company to ignore the existence. But there is also a trouble. Many aircraft manufacturing companies simply cannot meet people's needs. After all, not everyone can develop and manufacture super-large passenger aircraft.

Before the H3M-111 entered service, the superjumbo was largely dominated by the Boeing 747. Otherwise, how can Boeing have such confidence; it feels like the leader in the world's civil aviation field. Although Qantas is Boeing's most loyal customer, the United States and Australia also have good relations.

But to put it bluntly, they really don't need the US to help them. Australia is very special because of its geographical location; there are no powerful countries around. It can be said that the international environment is the best continent; there is basically no internal war.

But the Australians are very strange, although they are far away from war; but they want to join in the fun.

Before the First World War, Australia sent several hundred troops to follow the British to participate in the famous Sudan War, just because Australia's troops were too small to be qualified to enter the frontal battlefield. So they have been following the UK for other work.

During the First World War, the Australian state had been established and the number of people had increased a lot, so they sent troops and officially joined the British army as a British colony.

During World War II, it was even more so that Europe and the Germans used hard steel. In the end, nearly 200,000 people were killed and injured. You must know that Australia had a population of only about 4 million at the time.

After the Second World War, the British Empire was in decline. The Australians have found a new owner, the mighty America. From the Korean War to the Vietnam War; the Australian army can be seen.

Sometimes people in the world feel strange. I really don't know what the Australians think. They just have a good time and go to war with others. Is it because they are worried that the Americans will do something to them? It is not impossible. After all, Australia's mineral resources are too rich. It is not unreasonable to think that any country will be jealous.

The head of Qantas Airlines turned out to be a woman. I don't mean to look down on anyone here, although women's rights are more popular; but at this stage, there are really not many women in power. Of course, the Iron Lady is a special case. Could it be that Australia is also on par with the British.

The woman is about 40 years old, but well maintained. With a smile, he said, "Junior Bao, hello! First of all, let me introduce myself; my name is Jenna Carter; I am from Qantas; like you, I also graduated from Oxford."

Gujian

The benefits of graduating from a prestigious school are once again reflected. Although the two met for the first time, because the graduation school is the same; obviously they will recognize each other's values more.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "I didn't know it was Senior Sister who came here, it's really a sin."

Came here, definitely to buy a plane. And as long as Qantas is a shot, people will not want small planes at all; they will not look at it at all.

Bao Zixuan didn't talk nonsense; he just made a gesture. The H3M-111 aircraft painted by Qantas appears on the screen.

As the most wanted to win, or must win the order. For the Qantas livery design, it can be described as painstaking; a lot of effort.

It looks more concise than the current Qantas livery; but it is very vivid and vivid. The kangaroo is a calling card for Australia and it has to be reflected.

The plane in front of me is painted, and I like it very much.

Jenna Carter said with a smile: "Junior Bao is worthy of being the most outstanding alumnus of our school. Not only is the aircraft well developed, but this livery design alone can save Qantas millions of dollars in design costs. "

The woman is still more meticulous and looks very serious; even the picky Englishman does not ask so clearly.

It is estimated that at this time, the benefits of female executives will be truly reflected.

In fact, Jenna Carter is not an ordinary person, otherwise, how could the Australian government let a woman lead Qantas. Not only did he graduate from a prestigious school, but his family background was extremely prominent. He is related to the former president of the United States.

This kind of people who were born in Rome themselves, do everything in a special way; at least most people will give face.

But as a woman with pursuit, I also want to prove myself. Therefore, after becoming an executive of Qantas, you must make achievements, otherwise people will recognize the Carter family more than Jenna Carter.

According to the original plan, Qantas will order eight new Boeing 747 aircraft from Boeing at the Paris Air Show. But after seeing the superior performance of United Aircraft Corporation's new aircraft, he changed his mind.

Although the price is more expensive, the H3M-111 is much stronger than the Boeing 747 in terms of fuel consumption and the number of passengers. Instead of buying good things, they prefer to buy old products. Qantas is not a waste collector either, which is not desirable.

So JennCarter sent the collected information back to Australia; and successfully persuaded the board of directors through a conference call. The original plan was to order Boeing 747s, which were partially changed to H3M-111 aircraft.

The Qantas Board of Directors originally wanted this woman to go through the motions; unexpectedly, an accident happened in the middle. But after Jenna Carter's strong assurance and lobbying, the board agreed to change the plan.

They didn't take any advantage of Boeing, and it wasn't just Jenna Carter who reported the superior performance of the H3M-111 produced by United Aircraft; others in the same industry thought the same.

And there's Jenna Carter backing it up, if anything happens; it's nothing to do with them.

It is against this background that Qantas; from United Aircraft Corporation, ordered six H3M-111 airliners. Three of them are premium editions and three are deluxe editions. In fact, they are also testing to see how the aircraft performs.
