"This ......"

Little McDonald opened his mouth, and stopped talking, it was really embarrassing for him to say this thing, not long ago, Chen Geng took the initiative to talk to himself, and he confidently refused, but how long has it been, and Feng Shui has taken turns on his side.

But no matter how difficult it is to speak, you must open your mouth - if you don't open your mouth, you can't do it, and if you don't open your mouth, McDonnell Douglas will run out of rice.

Thinking of this, little MacDonald gritted his teeth: "That's it, this ...... TAP Portugal and Aerolíneas Argentinas, can you help me ......"

Without waiting for Little McDonald to finish speaking, Chen Geng waved his hand again and again: "I can't help with this!"

After a brief pause, Chen Geng sighed and explained to little MacDonald: "Mike, it's not that I don't help you, it's really that I can't help you in the current situation, if it was two months ago, I can help with this favor, but the current situation of MD-12 ...... So ......"

It's not that I don't help you, it's that your McDonnell Douglas Group has shown its most unbearable side in front of these airlines, if before the release of MD-12, Aeroléneas Argentinas and TAP didn't see your unbearable and weak side, I can still help in this matter, but now, in the field of world civil aviation, you McDonnell Douglas has almost fallen into the situation of "betrayal and separation", these airlines, have always been only icing on the cake, when have you ever sent charcoal in the snow? How can I help you in this situation?

Little Macdonald's face suddenly darkened: "I understand......" Taking a deep breath, Little Macdonald smiled bitterly and said, "It's that I thought badly." ”

When Chen Genggang said that he would not help, he was still a little unhappy, but after understanding the reason why Chen Geng did not help, he was speechless: Fernandez was right, if it was before McDonnell Douglas released the MD-12, there was still room for operation in this matter, but now, seeing the sad scene after the release of the MD-12 plan, an airline would probably mumble in his heart about cooperating with McDonnell Douglas.

Chen Geng nodded, and then comforted him: "But don't worry, if McDonnell Douglas can find a partner for MD-12, the situation may have a turnaround...... Now the top priority, one is that you find a partner as soon as possible, and the other is that this order must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Boeing and Airbus, as long as the order is still there, McDonnell Douglas still has a chance. ”

"Yes, you're right!"

McDonnell Jr. reacted suddenly, yes, McDonnell Douglas failed to get the MD-11 order from Portugal Portugal and Aerolíneas Argentinas, which is a pity, but this is not the worst situation, as long as this order does not fall into the hands of Boeing and Airbus, McDonnell Douglas still has a chance, but once this order falls into the hands of Boeing and Airbus, the situation is really troublesome, so the immediate priority is to ensure that the orders of these two airlines are hanging in the balance.

After solving this problem, McDonald's mind began to come alive, and a thought suddenly came to his mind, he hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Dude, can you invest in MD-12?"

In fact, the idea of letting Chen Geng invest in the MD-12 aircraft can't be said to have suddenly sprung up in McDonald's mind, in fact, he has always had this idea, but he was embarrassed to tell Chen Geng, but now, McDonnell's situation has reached this level, and McDonald Jr. can't take care of it so much: his face is worthless!

"Huh?"

Chen Geng was slightly stunned: let yourself invest in the MD-12 aircraft?

Looking at Chen Geng's expression, McDonald Jr. hurriedly explained: "If you are willing to invest, of course, it is good, if you feel that it is not suitable, we can put on a posture of negotiation......"

Before McDonald Jr. finished speaking, Chen Geng already understood what he meant: building momentum and publicity!

Regardless of whether you really intend to invest in the MD-12 project or just make such a gesture, as long as you cooperate with them, McDonnell Douglas can use this matter to hype: Aren't you airlines worried that no one will invest in our MD-12? Open your dog's eyes, now, the richest people in the world are optimistic about our project and want to invest in us! The richest people are bullish on our MD-12, you idiots, what reason is there not to be bullish on us?

That's pretty much it......

Not to mention, Chen Geng felt that if McDonnell Douglas Group tossed like this, it was really possible to fool some investors to talk to McDonnell Douglas - if he remembered correctly, it seems that the 4V Taixiang Aerospace Industry Company came to talk to McDonnell Douglas at this time, right?

Lending one's reputation to others is a big deal, not to mention that once it is tossed and ruined, it will stink Chen Geng frowned and thought for a long time, and under the worried gaze of little MacDonald, he finally smiled bitterly and said: "Mike, you are embarrassing me." ”

Little McDonald, who had been worried that Chen Geng would refuse and raised his heart to his throat, was a little bit back at this moment, and hurriedly said: "If you are really willing to invest in MD-12, no matter how much you invest, the conditions are easy to discuss, if you are not willing to invest, it doesn't matter, as long as you agree that we will use your name to promote, how much publicity money should be paid, you can arrange someone to talk to me at any time!"

The reputation of the richest man is not borrowed in vain, Chen Gengken has already given himself a lot of face by sending his reputation to himself, if he is not interested and thinks that he can borrow it in vain, then he has not even made friends.

Little MacDonald understood this very well, so he immediately expressed his attitude to Chen Geng: As long as you help me with this, you can mention any conditions, as long as you can agree, I will definitely agree.

Chen Geng did not agree, nor did he refuse, but said: "I need to think about it. ”

Despite this, the gloom on McDonald's face was also a lot more relaxed, and he thanked Chen Geng again and again - Chen Geng's willingness to consider his proposal was for the sake of the friendship between the two, otherwise a company with serious debts and on the verge of bankruptcy would have what qualifications to borrow the face of the world's richest man?

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

Chen Geng did not plan to give an answer to McDonald Jr. as soon as possible.

This kind of thing, you promise too quickly and too neatly, in the eyes of others, it is not worth much, it is serious to delay for a while, in the most difficult time of the other party to get the other party's greatest gratitude, although this is very scheming, but what's the problem with this? Not to mention that Taixiang Aerospace Industry will soon send someone to contact McDonnell, first give little McDonald a seemingly beautiful hope is not bad, and after the man stopped this cooperation, little McDonald knows how big his favor is.

However, in Huaxia, the F120 with Fokker F100 as the prototype and the extended fuselage has finally reached the stage of airworthiness certification.

In the current situation of China-US diplomatic relations being completely cold, Chen Geng, who has a good personal relationship with the current US president and is called "an old friend of the Chinese people" by the Chinese government, is becoming more and more special, so when the news of Chen Geng's coming to China was confirmed, even before Chen Geng determined the specific itinerary and date, the Chinese Embassy in the United States got in touch with Chen Geng - too many people in China want to meet Chen Geng and have a good chat about the political, economic and trade relations and diplomatic relations between the two countries. Let's take a look at the attitude of the United States toward China in the future.

Because of this relationship, although we can't write or say it for some reasons, we can fully understand how busy Chen Geng is: in the first two weeks after Chen Geng arrived in China, he basically didn't do anything else, and he was all dealing with the leaders of various ministries and commissions.

For example, Comrade Guo Wenxiang of the Ministry of Aviation Industry solemnly promised Chen Geng that the Ministry of Aviation Industry will attach great importance to the airworthiness certification work of the F120 passenger aircraft of the Commercial Aviation Group, in short, the green light for the airworthiness certification work of the F120 airworthiness certification work, and there will never be any deliberate stumbling blocks, as long as the F120 can meet the requirements of the CAAC, it will be able to do the fastest speedThe shortest time to get the airworthiness certificate and production license.

And the official did more than that, on the second day after Chen Geng's visit to Guo Wenxiang, the vice presidents or general assistants of several major airlines came to the door one after another, asking to inspect the F120, and at the same time made it clear that as long as the F120 can achieve the effect of COMAC Group's publicity, they can now sign a purchase intention with COMAC.

Wang Dazhi, who had never encountered this situation, was suddenly a little confused, and did not understand why these major airlines suddenly came to visit and inspect F120 collectively as if they had discussed.

"I was about to tell you about this," Huang Wenqing, who hurried over, whispered to Wang Dazhi: "I just received a call from the ministry......

Without waiting for Huang Wenqing to finish speaking, Wang Dazhi, who had already realized what Huang Wenqing was going to say, widened his eyes in shock: "You mean, this order is the meaning of the ministry?"

"That's right, that's it," Huang Wenqing nodded: "I don't know exactly what's going on, and what I said on the phone is not very clear, but it must have something to do with our Chen Dong." ”

Wang Dazhi patted his head hard, and suddenly realized: "I said, how do you feel that these airlines are sending us money on the pole, it turns out to be Chen Dong...... No wonder!"

Although I don't know what my chairman has done, I can actually let the country put money on the pole to COMAC, but these are not my own responsibilities, and it is serious to take this opportunity to eat two more bites of meat.
