1080 Nature
This MD-12...... Hearing Mehdi say this, Rahman couldn't help but be a little curious.
Mahdi didn't dare to lie, and said honestly: "Many airlines are interested in this aircraft, many airlines in Europe are talking to McDonnell Douglas, and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines alone has ordered 4 of them." β
KLM's order for four MD-12s is an "order of intent," but in Mahdi's view, there is no difference between this order and the actual order: as long as the MD-12 completes its test flight and obtains the FAA's airworthiness license, won't these orders become real orders?
Rahman became more and more misunderstood: "KLM also ordered 4 planes...... That's ......."
The Dutch royal family has a stake in KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, it can be said that KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is the property of the Dutch royal family, at this point, the nature of Royal Dutch Airlines and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is almost the same, both are the property of the royal family, Rahman didn't think so much at first, just wanted to help His Majesty Bolkiah prepare an unprecedented luxury palace in the sky, but now he heard Mehdi say that KLM Royal Dutch Airlines have purchased MD-12, he turned his mind: Since KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has so much trust in MD-12, then it makes no sense that Royal Dutch Airlines does not buy itοΌ
Well, it seems that the Queen of the Netherlands' personal car is a Fokker F70?
Thinking of this, Rahman made up his mind: "Hmm...... Mr. MacDonald Jr. told me that they made a 1:1 model, do you know that?"
How could Mahdi know this? But this did not affect him from answering the question of the Grand Administrator, and with a blink, Mahdi nodded again and again: "In order to give airlines a better understanding of their products, these large aircraft manufacturers have the habit of making full-scale models of equal scale...... Boss, do you need me to go to McDonnell Douglas for an inspection?"
Although he didn't understand why Managing Rahman was suddenly interested in the MD-12, he thought he understood: McDonnell Douglas must have sold it to Managing Rahman.
As for how much Rahman got in this, Mahdi didn't dare to ask, anyway, it would definitely not be less. If it was too little, Grand Rahman would not have been so attentive, right? But this is also a good thing, as the general manager of Royal Brunei Airlines, he should have his own share of benefits.
But soon, Mehdi knew that he had gone wrong......
"Of course you need to investigate," Rahman said with a serious face, "but do you know what Mr. MacDonald Jr. came to us in Brunei for a purpose?"
Mehdi blinked: "Came to sell us their plane?"
"Yes and no," Rahman's expression became more serious, "he is going to sell the MD-12 to His Majesty, and make this plane a luxurious palace in the air." β
β......β
Mahdi's mouth unconsciously opened into an O-shape: sell the MD-12 to his master: His Majesty Honorable Bolkiah, and make it His Majesty's Aerial Palace?!
But in the next second, Mahdi became excited: use MD-12 to build an air palace, the US president has not been able to use MD-12 as an air White House, right?
"Really...... Really?"
Because he was too excited, Mahdi's voice was a little trembling.
Rahman didn't answer, but his eyes made it clear: What do you say?
"Hey......
Mahdi also realized the inappropriateness of his question, and laughed twice, but did not dare to answer.
Rahman was not too concerned about himself, and casually admonished: "In short, you have a mental preparation, if Your Majesty is interested in this matter, you are ready to go and see it on your Majesty's behalf at any time." β
"Okay, okay. Mahdi nodded busily.
........................
Having driven Mahdi away, Rahman went to report the matter to his master, His Majesty Bolkiah.
Sure enough, when he heard Rahman say that McDonald Jr. came to Brunei this time to sell planes to his own industry, and it was also the largest aircraft in the world, he suddenly became interested: "Really? McDonnell Douglas really has such a big plane?"
As the king who saved many luxury car brands in the world, King Bolkiah is actually not much different from his Middle Eastern parishioners. He was interested in things that could show his status and wealth, such as his magnificent Boeing 767 decorated with a lot of gold, and now he heard that McDonnell Douglas had developed an airplane larger than the Boeing 747 and could make it his own palace in the sky, and his interest immediately came: it seemed very good, and it was very suitable to show his strength to his Middle Eastern friends.
As an old man who has served by King Bolkiah's side for decades, after Bolkiah showed such an attitude, Rahman didn't know his master's mentality, and immediately smiled and said: "After saying goodbye to Mr. MacDonald, I called the Mehdi of Royal Airlines over and asked, and he said that McDonnell Douglas is indeed developing such an aircraft, and Mr. MacDonald Jr. also showed me some photos of this plane, and they also built a 1." Full-scale models of :1, built entirely according to actual swallows, these are the ...... photographs"
"And the photos?" Bolkiah was a little impatient: "Show them to me." β
Rahman hurriedly took the photo of himself from McDonald Jr. to his director.
Looking at the MD-12 in the photo, Bolkiah was more and more happy: how happy it would be if this aircraft was really based on it and transformed into its own air palace?
After a pause, Rahman said, "I also think that only such an aircraft can show your majesty and wealth. β
Bolkiah touched his beard and smiled.
He also felt that Rahman was right, that as the richest king on the planet, only such a large plane could match his identity.
Seeing his master's expression, Rahman understood what he had to do, and he immediately said, "I'll let Mahdi go to the United States to have a look." β
Bolkiah shook his head: "You can go over too." β
The more he looked at the photos of this MD-12, the more happy he felt, especially after listening to Rahman say that McDonald Jr. and FernΓ‘ndez Chen were going to the Middle East to find his parishioners to sell the plane, the more unbearable he became: no one knew better than him what kind of virtues his Middle Eastern parishioners were, and if he was preempted by those guys, where would his face go? This time, he had to get ahead of them in saying anything, and those guys drank their own footwater.
Rahman was stunned for a moment: go over by yourself?
But then, he hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, I should go over in person and help Your Majesty check it." β
At the same time, Rahman couldn't help but start thinking in his heart: It seems that His Majesty really likes this plane, but he doesn't know what the price of this plane is.
........................
"You're going to go with us to the United States?"
Hearing Rahman's request on the phone, Chen Geng didn't react, but it was little MacDonald, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
At the same time, he glanced at Chen Geng, who was drinking coffee: just now, this guy told himself that Rahman might take the initiative to contact him, which is really accurate.
"yes, what's the problem?" said Rahman curiously.
McDonald Jr. is McDonald Jr., and he adjusted his mood in the shortest amount of time: "Oh...... Oh, of course not, I'm just a little surprised, you're the most trusted courtier on His Majesty Bolkiah's side, so...... Hehe......"
Although the words of little MacDonald are vague, the meaning is indeed very clear: you Rahman is the most trusted person around His Majesty Bolkiah, how can you easily leave His Majesty Bolkiah's side.
Rahman was very useful, and for him, MacDonald Jr.'s words were the best compliment to him. He smiled and said, "This is what Your Majesty meant." β
"OK, no problem, no problem at all!"
Little MacDonald agreed in a loud voice, and he was even very happy.
"There's one more thing......" Rahman's voice seemed a little embarrassed.
"Whatever you say, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse. McDonald Jr. said without hesitation.
If the MD-12 can be marketed to a king, it will be so significant that the MD-12 will be promoted and demonstrated around the world, and then McDonnell Douglas marketers can say to their leaders no matter which airline they go to: Even His Majesty the King of Brunei: His Majesty Bolkiah has chosen our MD-12, what else do you have to worry about?
It is precisely because this order from the Brunei royal family is really significant to McDonnell Douglas that as long as Rahman's request is not excessive, he will definitely agree.
"Actually, it's not a very difficult thing, it's just ......" Rahman on the other end of the phone rubbed his hands, his eyes flashed with greed: "Mr. MacDonald, you know, this ......"
Before Rahman finished speaking, little MacDonald had already suddenly realized!
Like all theological countries, Brunei's rule is essentially "one family", the whole country is the Brunei royal family, more accurately the king of Brunei, so naturally, Rahman, as the most trusted cronies around King Bolkiah, is not very normal to get some benefits for himself?
From ancient times to the present, are there any attendants around the emperor who are not greedy?
No!
Never!
Knowing what was going on, little MacDonald was not shocked in his heart: he was not afraid that Rahman would want benefits, but he was afraid that he would not want benefits.
"Don't worry," understood Rahman's little abacus, McDonald Jr. immediately said: "We can discuss specific issues after we see the plane...... In short, you can rest assured that we have always been the right friends. β
