Chapter 1073 - Settle Accounts

Although no one above informed him of anything, with the number of times Ding Ruoyan came to him in the past few days, Chen Geng knew that this matter was nine times out of ten, as for why there was no movement from above, it was easy to understand, such a big matter could be done in just three or five days?

And what supports Chen Geng's idea is what McDonald Jr. just said......

"Dude, I have good news for you, your China Eastern Airlines is also very optimistic about our twin-engine MD-11, and under my persuasion, they also plan to sign a '4+2' procurement contract with us like your Air China. ”

Little MacDonald's mouth couldn't close when he smiled, and he felt that his trip to China was simply smooth.

Chen Geng can understand little MacDonald's mood very well, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, with these two '4+2' orders, McDonnell Douglas's life is better." ”

"Hey...... Who's to say it isn't. ”

The two "4+2" orders of Air China and China Eastern Airlines are nothing less than a long drought for McDonnell Douglas, who is now in an extremely tight financial situation, although everyone has just begun to talk, but McDonald Jr. seems to be full of optimism about the achievement of this order, and the whole person looks like he is several years younger.

Chen Geng knows that the order will not be given in vain, after all, an MD-11 will exceed 160 million US dollars, if all the 12 orders are reached, including the relevant personnel training costs, the direct sales amount will exceed 20 billion US dollars, and then counting the long-term procurement of wearing parts and spare parts in the later stage, these 12 MD-11 will give McDonnell Douglas a long-term and stable income, and McDonald Jr. needs to take something other than the plane in exchange, as for what is the order outside the aircraft, hehe......

Combined with what Chen Geng said to Ding Haijun before, it is not difficult to guess.

But this is always something to be congratulated, Chen Geng bowed his hand to Little MacDonald: "Dude, congratulations." ”

"Kind to ......"

Little MacDonald chatted with Chen Geng for a while, and finally explained his intention: "Brother, has the Yak-130 you produced yourself already started to fly test?"

"Yak-130?"

Hearing little MacDonald talk about the Yak-130, Chen Geng's brows suddenly frowned slightly.

The Yak-130 mentioned by MacDonald Jr. is of course not the Yak-130 produced and manufactured by the Yakovlev Design Bureau of the Soviet Union, but the Yak-130 produced and manufactured by the Yakovlev Design Bureau has not only completed all the test flight subjects, but also entered service with the Soviet Aerospace Forces in small batches, even if it is a naval unit, it has also received a total of 12 carrier-based Yak-130s for the daily training of naval aviation...... However, according to the information obtained by Chen Geng, with the further deterioration of the economic situation in the Soviet Union, this batch of carrier-based versions of the Yak-130 has not actually flown much since last autumn, and from last autumn to now, the average flight hours of this batch of carrier-based versions of the Yak-130 trainer/junior fighters will not exceed 80 hours.

Under normal circumstances, even for a high-level training aircraft, it is completely normal to have more than 500 flight hours per year, after all, several instructors and students take turns to use a training aircraft.

As for the Yak-130 that MacDonald Jr. is talking about at the moment, it is the Yak-130 produced by Chen Geng's COMAC Group.

Unlike the Yakovlev Design Bureau, which has rich experience in aircraft manufacturing, COMAC has been established for a short time, although it has produced more than 180 F100 and F120 passenger aircraft so far, but after all, the accumulation is limited, although the Yak-130 project has been involved from the beginning, but in the localization adaptation work, it has encountered a lot of difficulties, coupled with the corresponding prototype test time, so that the first flight has only begun now.

The Yak-130 project is not a project with a high level of secrecy, and there is nothing strange about McDonald Jr. knowing about this, Chen Geng is just a little curious about what he asked himself to do with this.

Facing Chen Geng's puzzled eyes, little McDonald said mysteriously: "Dude, you know, we have a good relationship with the governments of many countries, so ...... Shall we cooperate?"

Chen Geng blinked, and said uncertainly: "You mean, you use your McDonnell Douglas relationship to help me sell the Yak-130?"

Of course, McDonald Jr. will definitely not do it in vain, he will definitely take a certain commission from it, but the problem is that Chen Geng didn't want to let McDonald Jr. work for nothing, right?

But the problem is that compared to passenger aircraft, the price of this jet advanced trainer is not expensive, an MD-90 is only 30 million US dollars, and a Yak-130 is less than 10 million US dollars...... Well, this is the price of a bare machine, after all, fighters still have to purchase a variety of weapons, ammunition and ammunition of different models and purposes.

"Of course, we're friends," McDonald Jr. enthusiasticed, "I think we can set up a joint sales company to sell this aircraft to the outside world and share profits, and in addition, don't you have a civilian version of the model, and we can also sell it together to those rich people who don't know how to spend it...... You know, I know a lot of people like that. ”

The so-called unarmed civilian version not only means that this version of the Yak-130 does not have an active and passive attack system such as fire control radar and missile attack warning system, but also shields the possibility of this Yak-130 being converted into a fighter at the software level, and even the overload and maneuverability are limited: the maximum maneuverable overload of the military version of the Yak-130 is -9G/+9.5G, while the maximum overload of the civilian version is limited to -5G/+5G - even if the overload is limited to plus or minus 5G, the requirements for the pilot's physical fitness are quite perverted.

However, although it is a civilian version, the fighter's iconic weapon pylon has been retained, and it can even be equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks, and several hollow pods with a square section have been designed to be used as luggage, but the presence of pylons looks bluffing, doesn't it?

At first, Chen Geng was not particularly optimistic about this civilian version of the Yak-130, after all, no fighter manufacturer had ever done this before, although the civilian version, the cost was much lower, but it also cost more than 4 million US dollars, the reason for such a thing, in addition to Chen Geng's own desire to play, was more because the labor cost of the Yakovlev Design Bureau was very low.

But after introducing this thing to some of his friends, Chen Geng found that he still underestimated how much the rich people liked this thing: a brand new "civilian" fighter jet? Not bad, what? Just over $4 million? Then give me one.

Also, since the rich second generation can play supercars, then what about me, as the rich second generation of his father, to play more bullish X fighters?

As for the problem that this thing is very difficult to drive, well, isn't this thing a two-seater, it's a big deal to let my pilot help me drive it, and I have a good front seat - the training plane is generally the layout plan of the front seat students and the rear seat instructor.

The pre-sale situation has exceeded Chen Geng's expectations, and so far, Chen Geng has sold 10 civilian versions of the Yak-130.

But because of this, Chen Geng frowned: "Establish a joint company?"

"Yes, the establishment of a joint company," McDonald Jr. seemed a little excited, he waved his arm: "Dude, I am very optimistic about the Yak-130, if we cooperate, we can even sell more than 200 aircraft for different purposes, which is a lot of money, the most important thing is that military aircraft are different from civilian aircraft, after selling the aircraft, we can not only earn money through follow-up maintenance and spare parts, but also earn a commission through the sale of weapons......"

Looking at little McDonald, whose face was flushed with excitement, Chen Geng sighed: "Mike, I never thought of earning a commission from the sales of the MD-11 and the modification of the three-shot version of the MD-11 and DC-10. ”

"Uh......"

Little MacDonald was stunned.

He is not stupid, how could he not understand the meaning of Chen Geng's words: You, little MacDonald, are you a little too greedy? I have helped you so much, I took the initiative to ask you for a commission? Now that you haven't cooperated with me, you have begun to put the commission on your lips?

Of course, according to the American tradition of doing business, not only must the brothers settle the accounts, but also clarify the rights and interests of both parties at the beginning, which is of course not wrong, but in the case that Chen Geng helped McDonald Jr. and McDonnell Douglas so much at the beginning, McDonald Jr.'s approach cannot be said to be wrong, but it is absolutely fine to say that he is "not kind enough".

Little McDonald didn't realize that there was anything wrong with his move at first, but looking at Chen Geng's slightly disappointed expression, he suddenly became depressed - it wasn't that there was anything wrong with his own request, but that compared to what Chen Geng did to him, his move was really inappropriate.

"I ...... I ......"

His lips twitched twice, but he finally couldn't say anything.

Looking at the speechless little McDonald, Chen Geng sighed: "Dude, I understand what you mean, McDonnell Douglas is not in a good situation now, you have to do everything you can to make money, but you ...... like this"

He shook his head, "Tell me what you think." ”

“......”

Little MacDonald didn't speak, he raised his head suddenly, looked at Chen Geng with a shocked and incredulous expression, and after a while, his lips moved and said, "Why...... Why?"

"You McDonnell Douglas are really having a hard time right now," Chen Geng sighed, "But you also reminded me, in this case, do we also have to clarify my rights in DC-10- and MD-11 modifications and MD-11?"

As for the MD-12, there is no need to worry about it, because this project was invested by Chen Geng.

Little McDonald has a feeling that he has made a small profit and suffered a big loss, but he can't refute Chen Geng, because whether it is the business of converting DC-10 and the MD-11 technology produced early from three to two engines, or the current business of the double-engine version of MD-11, it is all carried out under Chen Geng's suggestion, since this project has generated revenue, theoretically there must be a share of Chen Geng's income.

"When...... Of course ......"

"There is also McDonnell Douglas' F150 introduction plan," Chen Geng continued: "I believe you have seen your inspection team report, Mike, now you tell me, are you ready to introduce our F150 passenger aircraft technology?"

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

Are you ready to introduce the technology of our F150 airliner?
