Chapter 1057: I Almost Offended Someone
Chen Geng changed his tone and said to McDonald Jr. in a deep voice: "Mike, I know that emotionally speaking, the introduction of technology from Huaxia makes you feel uncomfortable, but you think so: I am the shareholder and chairman of COMAC, and the technology of the F150 you bought was bought from me, so it may make you feel more comfortable." β
β......β
Little McDonald was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Okay, you're right, I did feel that my self-esteem was a little unbearable before, I can't accept that McDonnell, which has a long history and strong technical strength, actually wants to import technology from Huaxia, but what you said also makes sense, since COMAC is your company, there is nothing unacceptable." β
"Although COMAC Group is a company in China, FernΓ‘ndez Chen is its shareholder and chairman, so I am not ashamed to introduce technology from COMAC", this is McDonnell Jr.'s logic, it sounds a little ridiculous, but McDonald Jr.'s financial situation in McDonnell Douglas was so difficult before. And knowing that this kind of cooperation is beneficial to McDonnell Douglas, he still refuses to agree to Chen Geng, it is this damn vanity that is at work, and now Chen Geng has said it, and McDonald Jr. also wants to open it: Fernandez is right, I bought technology from Fernandes, not from Huaxia, although Huaxia COMAC is a company registered in Huaxia, but this company is not a Chinese ......
This logic is a bit nonsense, but it succeeded in convincing McDonald Jr., or rather, successfully allowing McDonald Jr. to avoid the hurdle in his heart.
To tell the truth, doesn't McDonald Jr. know that the introduction of F150 technology will be of great benefit to McDonnell Douglas to open up the market for short- and medium-range narrow-body trunk airliners as soon as possible?
Of course he knows, but he just can't get over the hurdle in his heart - there is a down-and-out poor bastard, who has to rely on your charity to survive a few days ago, and in the blink of an eye, he is going to do business with you on an equal footing, and this matter rests on you, do you think you can cross this psychological hurdle?
McDonald Jr. figured it out, and Chen Geng was also very happy, but for the sake of prudence, he still confirmed with McDonald Jr.: "Dude, are you sure? If you are sure, then I will tell the officials of the Huaxia government the news, and I also suggest that you organize a technical inspection team to come to Huaxia first to review the technology of the F150." β
"Yes, of course," McDonald Jr. said happily, "I will go to Huaxia with McDonnell Douglas's technical team...... China Eastern Airlines and Air China are big customers, and I have to give them enough respect. β
Well?!
Hearing McDonald's words, Chen Gengdeng was stunned for a moment: Speaking of which, he seems to have a little little little respect for Air China and China Eastern Airlines.
Why?
You must know that COMAC can sell the F150 to McDonnell Douglas, provided that Air China Group and China Eastern Airlines Group want to purchase McDonnell Douglas MD-11, which is of course a mutually beneficial business. Moreover, it is an enterprise with a state-owned background, and it is appropriate to assist and support each other, but this does not mean that Chen Geng can ignore the contributions of China Eastern Airlines and Air China: if Chen Geng personally came to the door to express his gratitude to these two companies, of course it is hello, I am good, everyone, they are all their own people, do me a favor, small meaning, besides, in the case of McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and Airbus A330, whose plane to buy is not to buy? If you have a good relationship, then buy McDonnell Douglas MD-11.
But on the other hand, if Chen Geng doesn't go, will the CEOs of Air China and China Eastern Airlines think that Chen Geng's nostrils have grown to the sky? This situation becomes "Anyway, buying A330 is buying, buying MD-11 is also buying, since you Chen Geng doesn't give Lao Tzu face, then Lao Tzu will still save you a fart face?" Buy A330!"
If things really come to that point, it will be too embarrassing, even the civil aviation management department above is not easy to coordinate, who let you Chen Geng not be a person, it could have been solved by visiting, everyone sitting down for a meal together, you have to be nervous and don't go, then who is to blame?
Thinking of this, Chen Geng felt a little cold sweat on his body: This is a big business involving hundreds of millions of dollars, if you lose this business because of this little detail, who will you cry with at that time?
Thankfully, it's not too late.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Geng made a direct call to Wang Dazhi's office: "Lao Wang, when are you going to visit China Eastern Airlines and Air China?"
Wang Dazhi was stunned for a moment: "Chairman, what do you mean...... it!"
Wang Dazhi is of course not stupid, he can work all the way from a technician to the position of factory director in Hafei Factory, his IQ and EQ are not lacking, he didn't react when he heard Chen Geng's words at first, but in the next second, he was occupied by a smart IQ, and he instantly reacted to what a big mistake he had made: in such a business that requires the cooperation of China Eastern Airlines and Air China, he never thought of visiting these two units!
This mistake is terrible, to put it mildly, but if the leaders of China Eastern Airlines and Air China are a little smaller, it may lead to the direct loss of this business.
"I, I, I ......" Wang Dazhi, who knew what a serious mistake he had made, instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and the whole person stammered: "I'm sorry chairman, I'm ......."
"Don't me, I'll do it," Chen Geng sighed: "Now is not the time to be held accountable, call everyone over, let's go over together, it can be regarded as showing sincerity." β
Fortunately, it was discovered early, and things have not developed out of control yet.
Wang Dazhi responded with a stack of voices.
After hanging up the phone, he realized that his clothes were soaked: what a ...... After being afraid to die.
........................
"Chen Geng and the entire management team of COMAC are coming to visit us?" Wang Zhenguo raised his eyebrows, and was a little surprised by the secretary's report: "That's what they said?"
"Yes, I answered the phone, and it was Comrade Wang Dazhi on the other side of the phone, and I am very familiar with his voice. The secretary was actually a little surprised in his heart, it is said that this kind of thing only needs Wang Dazhi's secretary to connect with him, why are they still so grand?
On the contrary, it was Wang Zhenguo, who heard the secretary say this, smiled, nodded and said: "This Chen Geng is a good person." β
"Huh?"
The secretary was stunned for a moment, not knowing what his head meant.
"Okay, I know," Wang Zhenguo didn't mean to explain, waved his hand to the secretary and said, "Okay, you go down, huh...... Inform the main leaders of the group of this news, the person who comes is a guest, not to mention the weight of Mr. Chen, we must show the greatest sincerity. β
What do the key leaders of the group do?
Of course, it is to ensure that the main leaders of the entire Air China group are at home when Chen Geng visits, otherwise how can Air China show respect for Chen Geng's arrival?
The secretary went down obediently, he always felt that there was something he didn't know, but he was smart and didn't ask, and the chairman was right, it was Chen Geng who came, and he couldn't pay too much attention to this matter.
The secretary went down, and Wang Zhenguo held his chin and pondered.
Chen Geng is ready to sell the F150 passenger plane of COMAC Group to McDonnell Douglas Group of the United States, and he already knows about it, and the precondition for this deal to be reached is that Air China and China Eastern Airlines will choose McDonnell Douglas MD-11 among the intercontinental passenger planes.
As for why he didn't explain to the secretary why Air China purchased the MD-11 from McDonnell Doesnnell Douglas in exchange for McDonnell Douglas' purchase of COMAC's F150 technology, it is actually easy to understand, after all, this is just a matter of eight words, but now from the point that Chen Geng and the entire senior management team of COMAC Group are going to visit him, this matter seems to be a bit eyebrow-raising?
To be honest, when he first heard the news from Minister Guo, Wang Zhenguo felt that the COMAC Group was simply crazy: What are you kidding, it was McDonnell Douglas! McDonnell Douglas, which is developing the world's first "all-two-deck" large intercontinental wide-body passenger aircraft! In the past, in order to obtain the qualification to assemble the McDonnell Douglas MD-80, how much effort did it take? Now you say that you want to sell the technology of your own aircraft to McDonnell Douglas?
Isn't that!
Could it be that the technical strength of your COMAC is even more powerful than that of McDonnell Douglas?
It was also after listening to Guo Wenxiang's analysis that Wang Zhenguo understood that it was not that COMAC surpassed McDonnell Douglas in terms of aircraft manufacturing technology and R&D level, but that COMAC and Chen Gengka's timing was too coincidental, and it happened to be stuck in McDonnell Douglas spent all its funds on the research and development of MD-12, but in today's world's civil aviation market, the demand for short- and medium-range narrow-body trunk aircraft has changed in a special stage, which makes this matter have a slight possibility.
From Huaxia's point of view, Wang Zhenguo certainly hopes that this deal can be reached, and if COMAC can get this deal after getting the support of Air China, whether it is out of personal national sentiment or something else, he is also willing to support COMAC -- whose plane is not to buy, and since buying McDonnell Douglas aircraft can help his own people, what about helping him? Air China Group is also a major customer of COMAC F100, and everyone is a friend.
It's just that a few days have passed, and Chen Geng didn't even say to come over and sit down and say two words of thanks, which made Wang Zhenguo feel a little unhappy in his heart: It's one thing for Lao Tzu to be willing to help you, but you can't just be so at ease, right? Or do you think you've decided to eat Lao Tzu?
But......
Thinking that he could let Chen Geng run away in person, Wang Zhenguo laughed out loud again with a "poof...... "puff": "You kid can be a man." β
was able to let the richest man in the world come to visit him in person, I have to say that Wang Zhenguo is still quite proud in his heart, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
