"I just thought about it carefully, the reason why Lockheed's civil aircraft business can't be sold is because Lockheed's civil aircraft business can no longer pose any threat to competitors," Joterson looked at Bruce Evans and said, "But what if Lockheed's civil aircraft business suddenly has the potential to pose a threat to competitors such as Boeing and Airbus?"

Well?!

Bruce Evans frowned, "What do you say?"

"For example, for example, within Lockheed, suddenly someone proposes to invest heavily in the development of a model that can compete with the Boeing 747 based on the 'Samsung' airliner, and regain Lockheed's market position in the civil aircraft market?"

"It's impossible," replied Bruce Evans, without thinking, "that the internal opposition is too loud, and the successive years of losses have made everyone very careful, and it is impossible for the shareholders to agree to such a project." ”

"You're right," Jotson nodded, agreeing, but then he continued, "But what if Boeing hears the news and sees that the pro-camp within Lockheed has the upper hand?"

"This ......"

Bruce Evans was stunned.

Of course, he was not stupid, and immediately reacted to what Joterson said: act a scene for Boeing!

Previously, when Lockheed proposed an acquisition proposal to Boeing, the reason why Boeing was indifferent to Lockheed's civil aircraft business was that he felt that even if he didn't acquire it, Lockheed himself would give up the civil aircraft business.

But now the situation is different, if Boeing knows that Lockheed actually intends to make a last effort in the civil aircraft market, and the target is still Boeing's signboard and image: Boeing 747, what will Boeing think?

Even if Boeing sees the fierce struggle between the supporters and the pros within Lockheed, then what is the situation? Isn't this situation normal? If there is a voice of approval within Lockheed, then it means that there is a problem -- and we don't look at how many years Lockheed has lost money in the civil aircraft business.

Chen Geng was also surprised: Lao Qiao's method is good.

He looked at Jotson who was nervous, and then at Bruce Evans, and couldn't help but say: "This method is good, that is, you need to invest a little money in the early stage, but compared to the final income, this investment in Lockheed should be willing to do it, right?

Bruce Evans' face suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Huh...... There is no ......"

Yes, there really isn't.

It is said that this method is very simple, it is nothing more than a bait to lure Boeing into being fooled, and when Boeing knows that Lockheed is also in constant dispute about such a project, and there are also many people who plan to sell the civil aircraft business, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, and also to avoid multiple competitors in the market, nine times out of ten they will pay to buy Lockheed's civil aircraft department - a typical project with little investment and quick results, why did Lockheed think about doing this?

But the truth is so ridiculous, Lockheed really thought so.

"Then you can go back and try it, I think this method is really good," Chen Geng nodded and said: "But you need to pay attention to confidentiality, the fewer people who know, the better, you know, this kind of thing ......"

"Well, I know," Bruce Evans nodded. Mr. Fernandez Chen is right, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, and the more people who know, the more dangerous it is to leak secrets, and once Boeing knows that this is just a play played by Lockheed to show them, they will naturally not be fooled. Just thinking about it, Bruce Evans frowned again: "But ......"

"What?"

Seeing Bruce Evans' frowning appearance, Joterson immediately became worried, and hurriedly asked, when it comes to his income, he can't help but care.

"Boeing is not stupid," after thinking about it carefully, Bruce Evans slowly shook his head: "Lockheed has been discontinuing production of 'Samsung' passenger aircraft for so many years, if at this time suddenly comes out of the news that Lockheed is going to spend a huge amount of money to develop a new generation of large intercontinental airliners, Boeing will not be able to believe it." ”

This one......

Chen Geng thought about it, and had to admit that Ruth Evans's worries were not unreasonable, Boeing is not a fool, not only is it not a fool, but it can even be said to be an old thief in the shopping mall, and he has a number of think tanks under his hands, whether Lockheed is acting like it or really wants to do it, I believe that Boeing will not even have the eyesight to distinguish the true from the false.

Of course, if Lockheed is really willing to invest a lot of money to make a fake show, it is not impossible, but when it comes to that point, it is really hard to say whether Boeing will sit back and watch Lockheed repeat the mistake of the L-1011 "Samsung" or choose to acquire the Rockheed civil aircraft business.

In a word, the risks are too great for Lockheed, and it's no wonder they didn't.

Joterson also thought of this truth, and his face suddenly darkened, and he felt that a large amount of money flew away from his eyes.

Chen Geng, frowning, said to Bruce Evans after a while: "Actually, it's not completely without a chance. ”

The weight of Jotson's words obviously cannot be compared with Chen Geng, and now listening to Chen Geng's words about this matter may not be without a chance, Bruce Evans's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Chen Geng for advice: "Mr. Fernandez, do you think there is really a chance?"

Chen Geng nodded: "As long as you don't invest too much to convince Boeing that this thing is true, it's okay, the question is that you Lockheed are willing to spend one or two or two years or even two or three years and spend one or two hundred million dollars to lay out?"

"This ......"

Bruce Evans hesitated, investing such a large amount of money in order to make a game, if Boeing was not fooled in the end, this loss would have to be borne by Lockheed himself, and this responsibility was not something he could bear.

"My authority can't answer your question," after thinking about it, Bruce Evans replied honestly: "However, if you really intend to cooperate with Lockheed, I will go back and ask Chairman Hughes for instructions on this matter, if Chairman Hughes thinks about cooperation, we are discussing the details of cooperation in detail, what do you think?"

Although Chen Geng didn't elaborate, not even a basic framework, but Bruce Evans is not a fool, naturally knows that Chen Geng can't easily say his thoughts, he must use this idea to invest in this "bureau", so how to distribute the benefits is very important.

"Yes. ”

Chen Geng nodded, and Chen Geng was very satisfied with Bruce Evans's knowledge.

..............................

Bruce Evans left in a hurry, the stakes were so high, he didn't dare to delay for a second - if this matter finally came to pass, and Lockheed finally succeeded in selling the civil aircraft business to Boeing or Airbus, with his contribution to this matter, not only would he definitely not lose money. And I will also lay the foundation for becoming CEO once and for all, who is qualified to take over Mr. Macolm Hughes except I, Ruth Evans?

Hurried back to Lockheed headquarters, the secretary of CEO and Chairman Macolm Hughes told Bruce Evans that Mr. Hughes was already waiting for him in the office and asked him to come over immediately.

Bruce Evans didn't dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to Malcolm Hughes's office - fortunately, as the core management of Lockheed, Bruce Evans has the right to use the group's business jet when traveling, and this time he went to the Netherlands, and he was not very tired from the business jet back and forth.

"What the hell is going on?" When he arrived at the office, after a few brief greetings with Bruce Evans, he immediately asked impatiently: "What you said on the phone is not clear, how did you sell our civil aircraft business to Boeing?"

As the CEO of Lockheed, Malcolm Hughes is really under a lot of pressure, although Lockheed makes a lot of money in various military businesses, but if he can't lead Lockheed to reverse the inferior quality of the civil aircraft business, at least get rid of this burden, he can't be called a qualified CEO, so after listening to Bruce Evans report on the phone that there is an opportunity to get rid of the big burden of the civil aircraft business, he can no longer be calm.

"Boss, that's the case," Bruce Evans also knew that Malcolm Hughes was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to sell it, so he hurriedly said: "That's the case, I'm going to the Netherlands this time......"

After telling Malcolm Hughes that he went to the Netherlands, he couldn't persuade Chen Geng to buy Lockheed's civil aircraft business anyway, and just when he had given up and was about to return, the broker named Joterson suddenly proposed a fake trick to fool Boeing into buying Lockheed's civil aircraft business......

Hearing Bruce Evans say this, Malcolm Hughes couldn't help it, and shook his head in disappointment: "Boeing is not a fool, we are going to invest heavily in Boeing 747 intercontinental wide-body passenger aircraft at this time, and Boeing is basically impossible to believe." ”

"What you're talking about," Bruce Evans nodded hurriedly, and slapped his immediate boss on the back, "You realized it all at once, and I thought about it for a long time...... But at this time, Mr. Fernández said, it was not without opportunities. ”

"Oh...... Huh?!"

Malcolm Hughes didn't care much at first, but listening to what Bruce Evans meant, Chen Geng actually thought that there was room for manipulation, his expression suddenly became serious, and he immediately asked, "What did Mr. Fernandez say? What is his method?"

If it is a broker, Malcolm Hughes can not care and not be in charge, but if it is Chen Geng, who dares not to care and not be in charge? Malcolm Hughes is naturally no exception, after realizing that Chen Geng actually thinks that there is room for operation in this matter, he immediately calmed down.

"Mr. Fernandez didn't go into details," said Bruce Evans, "you know, he can't get his ideas out there without any guarantees, but he said that if you want to lure Boeing into falling for it, it will take a year or two or two or three years and a hundred million dollars or two dollars to set up the game — that's what Mr. Fernandez said at the time, he said, 'To fool Boeing, you have to convince Boeing that it's all true, and that everything looks like it's true.'" ’，

The answer to this question is beyond my purview, I can't answer him, and I can't promise him how much he will benefit from it, so I ......"

I see.

This matter is indeed beyond Bruce Evans' authority, such as how many shares he promised to give Chen Geng, Malcolm Hughes nodded and praised: "You are right, this matter really needs to be returned for instructions." ”

Not only is it beyond the authority of Bruce Evans, but even he does not have such a large authority, and he must consult the board of directors.

Bruce Evans hurriedly said: "By the way, before I came, Mr. Fernandez said that the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, even our shareholders, and it is best to shape this matter into the appearance of 'within Lockheed, there are many people who oppose this matter from the beginning', only in this way can everything seem real...... At least the opposition is genuine. ”

"That's ......"

Malcolm Hughes frowned: "It's a little hard......"

Although this is a bit difficult, Macolm Hughes knows better that if this matter is not kept secret, it is estimated that if the directors of the board of directors know about it, it means that Boeing also knows about it, so how can this mess be sold to Boeing?
