"This ......" Feng Xiangdong's face was suddenly quite embarrassed, but he had to bite the bullet and say: "The current traffic volume may be a little short, but in a few years, with the development of the economy, the traffic volume will definitely be raised......

In fact, he didn't believe it himself!

The Bashu region is mountainous, the traffic is very inconvenient, the traffic is inconvenient, the car is naturally not a lot, whether this highway can guarantee the passage of 2,000 vehicles per day, this is really a question mark - otherwise a dignified provincial government, why build a two-way two-lane three-level highway? Even if it is a three-level highway, let alone build a two-way six-lane road, it can be built into a two-way four-lane road, isn't it that even the province does not think that this highway can have much capacity?

"Oh......" Chen Geng's face clearly had the words "don't believe it!", but he didn't debunk Feng Xiangdong's words, but frowned: "Feng Hall, there's a question I'm curious about......"

Feng Xiangdong hurriedly said, "If you have any questions, just ask." ”

"In the case of Line 1, the cost is relatively high, and I can understand it," Chen Geng asked: "But the total investment scale of Line 2 is only more than 10 million, and the province can't even get this money?"

"This ......" Feng Xiangdong was a little embarrassed: "If it is Line 2, it is necessary to dredge part of the river of the Minjiang River, otherwise it will be more difficult to pass during the dry season, and only small boats of dozens of tons can pass, and if the dry water is serious, it may even need to ......be suspended."

I'll just say it!

Although the economy of the Bashu region is more difficult, it is not so that a provincial government can not even take out more than 10 million yuan in this district, and the root of the dare is here: if you plan to take the second line, the goods will be transported by land from Rongcheng to Mei@Shanqing Longchang Town, and then loaded down the river, it is necessary to ensure that the entire Minjiang River is unimpeded throughout the year.

Now this season is the wet season, the maximum number of inland river ships that can pass from Rongcheng to Rongzhou on the Minjiang River can reach 200 tons, but in the dry season in winter......

Chen Geng shook his head and asked: "Has the provincial water conservancy department surveyed the waterway of the Minjiang River from Mei@Shanqinglongchang to Rongzhou? If the dredging reaches the level of 100-ton inland river ships in the dry season, how much money will be needed? How long will the entire dredging construction period take?"

Feng Xiangdong did do a lot of work before he came, and when he heard this, he immediately nodded: "Yes, we have done all the work in this regard, if this channel is dredged to the extent that it can pass through 100-ton inland river cargo ships, it needs to be constructed in seven sections, if the mode of starting seven sections at the same time is adopted, all the dredging work can be completed in about two months, as for the ...... funds."

Feng Xiangdong pursed his lips: "About 32 million." ”

He was a little nervous in his heart: 32 million, plus the more than 16 million that were built on the road before, is almost 50 million, this is half a billion, can Chen Geng agree?

Chen Geng pondered for a moment, then raised his head again and asked, "How much can the province contribute to this investment?"

"This ...... The province can only pay 20 million ......"

"20 million?!" Chen Geng was surprised: "A project with a total investment of 50 million, the province can only get 20 million?"

Feng Xiangdong smiled bitterly and said: "In fact, if you choose Line 1, the province can only take out 20 million, and the other required funds must be fought for from the state, and at the same time, the governments of Mei@Mountain and Yi@Bin will include this project in next year's government budget, and list a part of the special funds." ”

After speaking, afraid that Chen Geng would not believe it, Feng Xiangdong hurriedly explained: "Mr. Chen, it is really difficult in the province, and this money is still squeezed out by several leaders in the province from their own special finances. ”

“......”

Chen Geng was speechless, he knew that the economy of the Bashu region at this time was very difficult, but he didn't know that it was so difficult: a dignified province could only take out 20 million mobile funds to build a road? !

Of course, whether it is really impossible to take it out or take this opportunity to cry poor and think about getting more out of oneself still needs to be questioned, but on the other hand, the dignified provincial-level government actually withholds the rope for such a small amount of money, if it is not poor to a certain extent, why should it be?

"You guys are really ......" Chen Geng shook his head helplessly, he didn't know what to say: "The specific details of cooperation, you and my people to communicate, I have only one request, that is, it is extremely necessary to minimize the impact on COMAC, and it is best not to affect." ”

Will COMAC be affected?

This possibility is really not small, the internal combustion produced by the Rongcheng Internal Combustion Engine Factory of COMAC Group is to go inland shipping, load ships from Rongcheng, go all the way down the Minjiang River, change ships in Modu Port, and then go all the way north, and then change the railway in Da@Liangang to reach the ice city, it is now the wet season, inland shipping is not affected, but in a few months to the dry period, if the water level of the Minjiang River is reduced to a certain extent, it is difficult to say how the situation is.

Feng Xiangdong was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly: "Mr. Chen, thank you so much, on behalf of more than 70 million fathers and villagers in the Bashu area, thank you for your help......

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

"Mr. Fernandez, can we talk?" Ryan looked at Chen Geng and said cautiously, "I'm representing McDonnell Douglas." ”

Chen Geng, the chief negotiator of McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Group, who was negotiating with China Aviation Materials and COMAC, said with a playful face: "You have been authorized by Mr. MacDonald Jr.?"

The "official ignition" ceremony of the "tay" MK650-8C engine of the COMAC Group did not invite people from McDonnell Douglas, but the nose of the McDonnell Douglas negotiation team is simply smarter than a dog, after learning the news, they immediately got an invitation letter through the relationship between the Ministry of Aviation Industry and Huaxia Aviation Equipment Import and Export Company, as for Lane, the general person in charge of the negotiations, he simply flew directly to Rongcheng, in order to hope to meet Chen Geng.

"Yes," Ryan nodded cautiously, and at the same time hurriedly handed a power of attorney to Chen Geng: "This is the authorization document given to me by Mr. MacDonald Jr. ”

took out the authorization documents, which means that Ryan is a person who has obtained the official permission and authorization of McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Manufacturing Group, and conducts this meeting with Chen Geng on behalf of McDonnell Douglas - if he does not get the authorization of McDonald Jr., he is the identity and status, and he is not qualified to meet Chen Geng directly.

Kelly Hicks glanced at Chen Geng, and then took the authorization document from Ryan's hand, and after a while, she nodded slightly to Chen Geng, indicating that this document was fine.

"Okay," Chen Geng bowed slightly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Facing Chen Geng, a big man who has become a new legend in the American business world, Ryan feels that he is under a lot of pressure!

He took a deep breath and emboldened himself: "Mr. Fernandez, I respect you very, very much, and I don't mean anything disrespectful to you, and my meeting with you this time is only on behalf of the company, so ......"

Before Ryan's words were finished, Kelly Hicks had already begun to pout: This negotiation has not started yet, you have started to coax, how to talk about it next?

"Mr. MacDonald Jr., let me ask you, how do you guarantee that this partnership with Falkland-United Aviation Technologies will not harm McDonnell Douglas?"

Business is business, don't look at the relationship between Chen Geng and McDonald Jr. It seems that the relationship is not bad, McDonald Jr. even helped Chen Geng introduce many members of the Senate and House of Representatives, but as long as Chen Geng's actions have an impact on the interests of McDonnell Douglas, McDonald Jr. will not be polite.

Chen Geng smiled, he naturally wouldn't have anything to do with such a small person. Raising two fingers, Chen Geng said: "Two points: first, whether you can make money and how much money you can make when you do business depends on your own ability. I, Chen Geng, have never promised McDonnell Douglas anything, and McDonnell Dalwell Doesn't think that my entry into the Huaxia commercial aircraft market will harm McDonnell Dalwellwell's interests?

Second, you can help me tell Mr. McDonald Jr. that the more than 20 planes that McDonnell Douglas is talking to Huaxia about are nothing in terms of the huge demand for commercial aircraft in China in the next decade. ”

Ryan raised his head sharply, with a look of surprise: "Mr. Fernandez, do you think Huaxia will have a great demand for commercial aircraft in the future?"

"Big deal, don't you McDonnell Douglas have a count in your heart?" Chen Geng asked with a smile.

“......”

Ryan was speechless.

Although Huaxia only bought a second-hand Boeing 747 two or three years ago, and this second-hand Boeing 747 is already the largest and most advanced commercial aircraft in the field of civil aviation in China, with the continuous development of China's economy, the Western aviation industry has long been full of confidence in the future of China's civil aviation market - don't you see that Fernandez Chen, a layman in the aviation industry, has begun to lay out in China?

The same is true for McDonnell Douglas.

Speaking of which, why is McDonnell Douglas so anxious to enter the Chinese market? It is not because since the merger of McDonald and Douglas, instead of producing a "1+1>2" chemical reaction as previously envisaged, it has been "1+1". <2", the company has fallen into serious internal friction, and it is precisely because of this that McDonald Jr. is so concerned about entering the Chinese market: as long as the company can receive continuous orders and the company can develop, then he will have the time and opportunity to solve many problems after the merger of the two companies.

It is also because of this that McDonald Jr. is so nervous about Chen Geng's involvement in the Chinese civil aviation market - he has long regarded the Chinese market as a ban on McDonnell Douglas.

It's just that Chen Geng obviously doesn't see it that way, and he even sent an invitation to Ryan with a smile: "Mr. Ryan, since you are here, let's stay in Rongcheng for a few more days, the food here is indeed very good." ”
