If you are an executive of an airline and know that Fokker has the strong support of Fernández Chen, even if Fokker has made a lot of layoffs in a short period of time, will you doubt the long-term viability of Fokker?

Of course not!

Everyone knows that Fernandez Chen is not short of money, this guy is not only an excellent corporate strategist, but also has deep connections with governments and the business community, as long as Forkg can get the favor of this guy, any of his small actions will be observed under a magnifying glass:

Why did Fernandez Chen take a stake in Fokker? Oh, the original Fokker F100 has been converted into a 120-seat entry-level mainline aircraft;

Why did Fernández Chen push for the layoffs of Fokker? Oh, it turned out that there were too many redundant personnel within Fokker, which had seriously affected the operation of the company, and the layoffs were nothing more than cutting off the carrion and fat on the body and traveling lightly......

Any of his actions will be concerned and analyzed by everyone, which is not possessed by the current Fokker company, and at the same time extremely envied, and once the airlines are optimistic about the future and prospects of the Fokker company after Chen Geng's shareholding and "slimming", with his series of cost-cutting measures, coupled with the relationship between him and the government, will the sales of Fokker aircraft still be a problem?

Of course not!

Aware of this, no less...... In other words, the mentality of a considerable number of directors and executives has quietly changed: if the company can exchange the opportunity for Fokker to regain its vitality by allowing Chen Geng to become a shareholder and entrusting the F70 to COMAC OEM, this business is still worth it.

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, a smile appeared on Fred Defen's face: it worked......

"Ahem...... Let me say a few words. ”

Just when Fred Defen thought he had moved the directors, Anthony Falk suddenly spoke.

Fred Defen frowned slightly: Chairman Fokker spoke at this time, did he not approve of the cooperation with Mr. Fernandez?

Looking around, Anthony Falk said slowly: "Everyone seems to agree with Mr. Fernandez's proposal......"

“......”

No one spoke, everyone looked at Anthony Falk and waited for him to continue.

"From the perspective of the long-term development of the company, I personally think that the cooperation with Mr. Fernandez is a good thing for us at Fokker, but now there is a problem," said Anthony Fokker: "From the time the F70 was put into production until now, not counting the orders of intent and the orders that have not yet been delivered, we have delivered 64 F70s so far. Optimization, what to do with this batch of F70s that have been produced and sold before?"

“......”

The huge conference room was instantly enveloped by an indescribable low air pressure, this question ......

The crowd, who was still happy just now, instantly realized how tricky this problem was.

Yes, if it is to be redesigned according to Chen Geng's intentions...... Even if it is optimized on the existing basis to reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the F70...... So what should I do with the after-sales of the batch of F70s that have been sold before?

Regardless of it, it will definitely not work, it will greatly affect the reputation of Fokker, but if it is managed, a special logistics and maintenance system will be prepared for these 64 F70s......

The cost of this is really numbing to think about!

A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, they don't know how to answer for a while, even Fred Defen frowned.

It's a headache, first of all, as a manufacturer, Fokker is impossible to ignore the 64 F70, but the problem is that the number of aircraft in this batch is too embarrassing, no more, no less, because there is a technology sharing relationship with the previous generation of products F28, and most of the parts are common to F100, so according to the results of previous cost accounting, if the total sales can reach 120 aircraft, the profits generated by the after-sales can be even.

In other words, 120 is the break-even point of the F70, as long as 120 F70 can be sold, even if the production is stopped immediately, but because of the after-sales service, at least this project does not lose money, and it can also allow the airlines to continue to use it, and the current sales are ...... Even if you count the 18 that will be delivered next...... With a total production of 82 aircraft, the direct loss of the F70 program will exceed $27 million, and the long-term loss will exceed $70 million, including subsequent maintenance.

Some people may say that since the current sales volume has reached 82 planes, and there are only 38 planes short of the break-even point of 120 planes, wouldn't it be better to just find a way to sell another 38 planes and stop production?

But the problem is that it can't be sold!

There is no reason why it can't be sold, and if it can't be sold, it can't be sold.

So, to get to this break-even point, it's hard, it's very hard!

After a long time, someone finally spoke......

"Mr. Defen, maybe Mr. Fernández can ......"

That's right!

As soon as this voice sounded, many people suddenly felt that their eyes lit up: maybe Mr. Fernández could ......

Unfortunately, as soon as the old man opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Fred Defen: "Maybe you can talk to Mr. Fernández and see if Mr. Fernández is willing to bear this loss." ”

The implication is that if you want to go, Lao Tzu will not go anyway.

“......”

The one who had just spoken suddenly closed his mouth firmly.

Also, as far as Fokker is now stormy and leaking, Chen Geng doesn't know how much money and energy to invest to fill the loopholes after taking over, and now you still let people bear the losses of the F70 project - is it really two hundred and five?

Don't you see that even Chairman Anthony Falk and Mr. Massim Ferhagen didn't speak, why? because the two of them knew it was impossible.

But......

Fred Defen glanced at the expressionless Anthony Falk: maybe this is the result he wants?

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

"That's ......"

Listening to Fred Defen introduce the situation of this meeting to himself, Chen Geng was not surprised by this result: such a big thing, if a meeting can unify thoughts, then it will be hell, he smiled and nodded: "It's okay, this situation is what I expected, Mr. Defen, thank you very much for your help." ”

Fred Defen didn't expect Chen Geng to be so polite, and he was a little flattered: "You are too polite...... Mr. Fernández, may I ask you a question?"

"You say. ”

"Do you have any good advice for this batch of F70s?" asked Fred Defen cautiously.

"You mean, you don't want me to take over this mess, do you?" Chen Geng frowned, and his tone seemed to be a little displeased.

In fact, to tell the truth, Chen Geng does have a solution to the F70 mess, but in Chen Geng's view, the solution to F70 is one of his hole cards, and now is not the time to leak this hole card - when the people of Fokker Company find that they finally can't hold on, it is a good time for them to leak this hole card.

"Of course not...... Alas......"

Fred Defen sighed, he wasn't sure if Chen Geng had a solution to the F70 problem, but since Fernández Chen Xiasheng refused to answer his question, what could he do?

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yan shook his head: It's all at this time, and there is still no consensus within Fokker Company?

It seems that if he wants to integrate Fokker Company, he will not be able to leave too much power to these old shareholders and old executives after becoming a shareholder, these guys, they can't work, and their ability to pull back their legs is not small, but now they can dry them, let them slowly pull their hind legs.

Compared with the careful thinking among the shareholders of Fokker, Chen Geng is actually more looking forward to the next meeting with Simon Robertson: I don't know what "surprises" Simon Robertson can bring to himself?

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

The meeting with Simon Robertson did not have a tense atmosphere, on the contrary, the atmosphere between the two was very harmonious, on the coffee stall on the bank of the Seine River, Chen Geng and Simon Robertson, dressed in casual clothes, did not look like a big man talking about hundreds of millions of business, but like two old friends who came to Paris for tourism...... If it weren't for the fact that the assistants and security team of the two had filled the entire café and the tables outside.

Chen Geng, who had a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, half-slumped in his chair, pointed to the dotted ships on the Seine and said to Simon Robertson: "Mr. Robertson, do you see, is the atmosphere here much better than those claustrophobic meeting rooms?"

Simon Robertson looked at the surrounding environment and had to admit that what Chen Geng said made sense: compared to the conference room that made people feel that the atmosphere had begun to be tense before they walked in, the environment in front of them made people very relaxed, and negotiating with people in this environment may indeed have some unexpected effects. He nodded: "It's really good, but I don't know how the coffee in this coffee shop is?"

Chen Geng laughed: "Coffee...... Didn't you think of bringing some coffee beans with you?"

Simon Robertson was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: Yes, if you are worried that the coffee beans in this café are not pure enough, you can bring some coffee beans you like, and even, if you are worried that the craftsmanship of this café is not good, you can let your own people do it yourself...... As long as the money is in place, are these problems?

Chen Gengyi waved his hand: "How about I invite you today to taste my coffee?"
