Chen Geng's identity and energy made James Carter quite jealous, he knew very well that he didn't think he was an FBI person, but he couldn't afford to mess with this seemingly harmless guy.

The philosophy that Americans believe in is "if I can't mess with you, I will respect you", and the same is true for James Carter, who knew that he couldn't afford to mess with Chen Geng, politely told Chen Geng before leaving, that he believed that as long as Chen Geng stated in the project specification that the aircraft shipped to Huaxia for dismantling was only a civilian aircraft, and would not be shipped to Huaxia for dismantling, it would not have an impact on the national security and interests of the United States, and the FBI should soon agree to approve the project.

This was a bit unexpected for Chen Geng, he thought that this project might be more troublesome, but listening to the meaning of James Carter's words, this matter is actually not very big.

But also, just like in the car dismantling industry in the United States, there are many dismantling plants that are also engaged in military vehicles such as armored vehicles, The dismantling of tanks, but as long as you do not transport these sensitive military equipment to China for dismantling, you can toss as much as you like, any aircraft to be dismantled needs to fly to the location of the dismantling plant before the formal disassembly......

In a word, how to dismantle civil aircraft, how do you like!

In fact, the FBI is not worried that Chen Geng secretly sold some parts to Huaxia in private, because many parts of the aircraft after disassembly, such as engines, aviation instruments, computer systems, hydraulic systems, and landing gear...... After dismantling, the parts are tested, repaired (if damaged), certified and then re-entered the aviation parts market for circulation.

At best, Huaxia can get some cheap second-hand spare parts, which is not a problem at all, if it is worried that Huaxia has "illegally" obtained some key parts such as aero engines, it is directly stipulated that Fernandez Chen's aircraft dismantling company in Huaxia must ship some specific parts and subsystems back to the United States or the European market before they can be sold after completing the dismantling of certain types of aircraft.

Frankly, in James Carter's view, this decision from headquarters was simply brain-dead.

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

After receiving Chen Geng's fax, Alain Bellemare, the head of Rolls-Royce's North American branch, immediately left his work and came running in a hurry.

Although he didn't know what Chen Geng planned to cooperate with Rolls-Royce, the business of the two companies could be said to have no overlap, but in the face of an olive branch handed by a billionaire who was worth a lot of money, no company dared not do the same thing.

"Mr. Bellemare, your Rolls-Royce company has always had a good relationship with Holland Fokker, haven't you?"

"Yes, Mr. Fernandez," although he didn't understand why Chen Geng inquired about the news of the Dutch Fokker Aircraft Manufacturing Company through himself, this did not prevent Alain Bellemare from carefully answering Chen Geng: "The Dutch Fokker Company has always been our partner of Rolls-Royce, and the engines of the 'Fokker' series of models they produce are all provided by our company. ”

"In other words, your two companies are strategic partners?"

"Yes. Alain Bellemare nodded affirmatively.

Fokker now has two main models: Fokker F27 and Fokker F28, all of which are engines provided by Rolls-Royce, from the end of the 50s to the present, Rolls-Royce has sold more than 2,000 engines to Fokker, Fokker is almost Rolls-Royce's largest customer, if this is not a strategic partner, then what is a strategic partner?

"That's right, I heard that Fokker has plans to develop a brand new aircraft with a crew of 100 people," Chen Geng crossed his fingers between his hands, looked at Alain Bellemare and said slowly: "But as far as I know, Fokker's financial situation is not very good, so ...... Can you help me bridge the gap with Fokker?"

"What do you mean......" Alain Bellemare looked at Chen Geng in surprise and disbelief: "Are you going to invest in Fokker Corporation?"

"Yes. ”

“......”

Alain Bellemare didn't speak, he groaned, Chen Geng's reason for finding himself was completely unexpected by Alain Bellemare, so that he didn't know how to answer for a while.

On the one hand, he knows the current situation of Fokker company, although the financial situation is still healthy, but under the impact of this global financial crisis, their cash flow and debt situation are a little tight, several customers have canceled the previous orders, if they do not develop new models, it is not a big problem, but the board of directors of Fokker company decided to launch the research and development plan of the new aircraft at this time, and it is not an aircraft, but two: respectively, the Fokker F100 with a passenger capacity of 100 people and the Fokker F50 with a passenger capacity of 50 people。

The good news is that if Fokker's two new products are successfully developed and recognized by the market, Rolls-Royce engines will inevitably sell more, and the worry is that Fokker's decision is too risky, and two new aircraft will be launched at the same time, even if it is Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, A top aviation giant like Lockheed would not dare to play like this, and Fokker is nothing more than a second-tier midstream aircraft manufacturing company.

But if Mr. Fernandez Chen is really willing to invest in Fokker......

Alain Bellemare was impressed: Mr. Fernandez Chen is rich, and if Mr. Fernandez is willing to invest in Fokker, it will greatly reduce the risk and financial pressure for both Rolls-Royce and Fokker, and increase the success rate of the project.

In view of the fact that this incident had too much impact on Rolls-Royce, Alain Bellemare did not dare to be careless and Mach, he said carefully and carefully: "I don't know the specific situation, sir, you know, I am in charge of the North American side of the group, and Fokker is our Rolls-Royce business. Royce's most important partner has always been directly responsible for the group headquarters, but I can convey your meaning to the group headquarters, and I think the group headquarters and even Fokker will be interested in your investment...... May I ask you about your rough idea?"

Chen Geng did not answer directly, but said: "I am only interested in this project of Fokker, and I can only make a decision after a more in-depth understanding and communication of this project." ”

"I understand," although Chen Geng's answer was vague, Alain Bellemare could already confirm that Fernández Chen was indeed interested in investing in Fokker Company, and that was enough! He immediately said to Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernández, I will immediately report this matter to the group headquarters and give you an answer as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, don't keep me waiting too long. ”

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

Keeping Fernandez Chan Waiting Too Long?

That's impossible.

Leaving Chen, Alain Bellemare immediately reported what he had learned to Rolls-Royce headquarters: Fernández Chen was interested in the new aircraft program of the group's strategic partner, Fox Airlines, and was interested in investing in the project.

Rolls-Royce's corporate headquarters, which received a report from Alain Bellemare, was ecstatic!

Rolls-Royce's financial situation has always been very bad, to be exact, very bad, as early as 1971, the then Rolls-Royce company insisted on the development of the three-rotor RB211 large bypass ratio turbofan engine caused the company to go bankrupt, and finally the British government funded the acquisition of Rolls-Royce's shares, which can be regarded as barely saving Rolls-Royce's life.

But after that, the Rolls-Royce company was just surviving, and their life was miserable, to what extent? A few years ago, when Huaxia introduced the "Spey" MK202 engine from Rolls-Royce, that is, a few years later, when our "turbofan-9" turbofan engine related technology and patents, the impoverished Rolls-Royce company vigorously promoted to Huaxia and encouraged the Huaxia government to buy the patent and technology of their RB211 engine.

Of course, in the end, the Chinese government didn't buy it, and the reason why it didn't buy it was that the quotation of Rolls-Royce and the British government was relatively high, and the other, but the negotiation team and senior leaders all felt that why did we buy this thing, it was so complicated, and we couldn't build it, even if it took a lot of effort to build it, there was no model that could be adapted.

In the end, I came to the conclusion: The reason why the damn British guys sell us such an advanced engine is because they see our backward technology and know that we can't build it, so they want to use this seemingly advanced, but in fact it can't be made with Huaxia's scientific and technological level and industrial processing capacity, so I don't want it!

It's a bit far, and you can see through this incident what the financial situation of Rolls-Royce Group is, and now I heard Alain Bellemare say that Chen Geng, an American billionaire, actually plans to invest in Fokker's new aircraft project, and Rolls-Royce is almost crazy up and down, and Sir Ralph Robbins, chairman of the board of directors, even made the decision to personally rush to the United States to communicate with Chen Geng on this matter.
