Chapter 1048 - Returning with a Full Load
With Chen Geng's investment, little McDonald's whole person is like a chicken blood!
Soon, the news that Fernandez Chen was optimistic about the McDonnell Douglas MD-12 project and was ready to officially invest in this project spread throughout the investment circle and the industry.
Fernandez Chan intends to invest in MD-12?
When the news first broke, almost no one believed it, and the reason was very simple: if he Fernandez Chen really planned to invest in the MD-12, he would have invested in it a long time ago, so why wait until now?
But soon, during the reporter's interview, McDonald Jr. personally confirmed that Chen Geng did want to invest in the MD-12 project, as for the specific investment amount and equity ratio, McDonnell Douglas was talking with Chen Geng's plenipotentiary Miss Rosemary, and subsequently, Rosemary also confirmed this.
With a ......"boom", the whole industry was shocked: is it true? Fernandez Chen really plans to invest in the MD-12, and is he really so optimistic about this project?
When McDonnell Douglas announced their new plan for the MD-12 project: the issuance of special convertible bonds for the MD-12 project, the entire investment industry began to stir up - you can not believe McDonnell Douglas, but you can't help but believe Fernandez Chen, who has never failed as long as he makes a sale.
After learning that there are many investors and investment institutions interested in investing in the MD-12 project, McDonald Jr. has an indescribable feeling in his heart: the MD-12 project has been announced for so long, and the only investment partner has been frightened to retreat, but now, when Chen Geng said that he is willing to invest in the MD-12 project, in the past few days, he has received more than 50 consultation calls, which is really X-......
..............................
If you want to say that Chen Geng's intention to invest in the MD-12 project is most shocked, in fact, there is no one more shocking than Lockheed.
Previously, when the 4V official said that they did not support Hanxiang's investment in the MD-12 project, Lockheed no longer had much hope for the MD-12 project: the premise that Lockheed can pit Boeing is that the MD-12 project is really possible, but now, the MD-12 project is already a doomed project, and Boeing will spend a huge amount of money to acquire Lockheed's civil aircraft business? ;
Lockheed hopes to use the MD-12 to fight a turnaround on the premise, but also hopes that the MD-12 project can be a big seller, but now, the MD-12 table says that it is a big seller, and it can't even be born.
Just when Lockheed was thinking about when to make a statement to withdraw from the MD-12 project, the news of Chen Geng's intention to invest in the MD-12 project came, at first, Bruce Evans and Malcolm Hughes thought it was a bad joke made by someone, and they didn't take it seriously, but then a series of interviews proved that it seemed to be true.
Thinking of this possibility, Malcolm Hughes could no longer be calm, he immediately dialed Chen Geng's phone, and after a few simple greetings and greetings, Malcolm Hughes asked impatiently: "Mr. Fernandez, do you really want to invest in MD-12?"
"That's right. Chen Geng happily admitted it.
"Uh...... Can I ask why?" Macomb Hughes couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "As far as I know, the current situation of the MD-12 project...... Not very good. ”
"I understand what you mean," Chen Geng said, "not only are you not optimistic about the MD-12, but the whole world is not optimistic about the MD-12, and even Mr. MacDonald Jr. himself is full of pessimism about the prospects of the MD-12." ”
"That's right," Malcolm Hughes replied, "that's why I can't understand why you're ......."
Chen Geng said as a matter of course: "Because in this way, I can get as much return as possible." ”
"Huh?!"
Malcolm Hughes was stunned.
"I have money," Chen Geng said, "I have appeal, and I have the means to sell the MD-12, do you think this is enough?"
“......”
Holding the microphone and listening to Chen Geng's words that were so confident that they were almost arrogant, Malcolm Hughes found that he didn't know what to say, let alone what to say.
If these words were said by someone else, Malcolm Hughes would have unceremoniously scolded a sentence of "arrogance!", but these words came out of Fernandez Chen's mouth, and he didn't dare to do it inappropriately, it is really countless examples in the past that prove that this guy has a talent that is different from others, and can always make the impossible possible, so the MD-12 project, which is not favored by everyone, is it another chance for him to show his golden finger?
And the reaction of the investment industry seems to confirm this, and the MD-12 aircraft, which was originally not favored by anyone, has suddenly become a trend of sweetness.
“......”
But after all, Malcolm Hughes was an excellent professional manager, and he quickly adjusted his mood and asked Chen Geng in a deep voice: "Mr. Fernandez, how much money do you plan to invest?"
It is said that this kind of thing is confidential, and Malcolm Hughes can't ask, but he really can't help it, and the most important thing is that Malcolm Hughes has an intuition, and he believes that Chen Geng will definitely tell him.
Chen Geng did not hide what Malcolm Hughes meant, he said happily: "Invest 500 million, and provide McDonnell Douglas with a convertible loan of 500 million." ”
That's 1 billion, which accounts for a quarter to a fifth of the funding needed for the entire project.
Although Chen Geng's investment amount is not much, if you count his appeal......
It was as if a big rock had been laid down in Macomb Hughes's heart, and he thought for a moment and asked, "When are you coming back?"
If Chen Geng really needs Lockheed's help, Malcolm Hughes definitely doesn't mind sending a favor to Chen Geng.
"It's going to be soon, another week," Chen Geng said, "although it didn't go very well, but it wasn't a big problem." ”
The greed of the Franco government is beyond Chen Geng's imagination!
For example, Chen Geng's level of wealth, no matter which country to visit and visit, it can't be a whim, the communication between the two sides needs to start at least three months in advance, half a year is also normal, that is to say, in fact, what to do after going, the agreement to be signed, in fact, has been communicated before going, Chen Geng went to Brazil, in fact, it is more just to sign, such as this time to Brazil, in addition to capital and technology to invest in Embraer, In addition to helping Embraer achieve EMB-145 production as soon as possible, there is also the construction of a car assembly plant in Brazil, which has been negotiated before.
When President Franco clearly had an appetite for more than that, he wanted more.
Wanting more is actually not a problem, as long as he is willing to exchange things for it, Chen Geng doesn't mind, but Franco wants more benefits and also picks and searches, that's the problem, such as Chen Geng's intention to invest in the Brazilian energy industry, so far, the Franco government still has not given a clear answer.
In view of this, Chen Geng did not see the need to stay in Brazil any longer.
Malcolm Hughes also heard about the situation that Chen Geng encountered in Brazil, and the reason why he said this was because Lockheed's energy in Brazil was not small, and it could be regarded as selling Chen Geng's favor, but Chen Geng refused, and Malcolm Hughes didn't mind, he nodded: "OK, then I'll wait for you to come back." ”
........................
Chen Geng was leaving, and by the time he left, he had only signed two agreements with Brazil, one was an agreement to invest in Embraer, and the other was an agreement for AMC Automobile to invest in and build a factory in Brazil.
Of course, strictly speaking, Chen Geng also donated a large amount of money to several charitable foundations and educational foundations in Brazil, with a total amount of up to 8 million US dollars, which can be regarded as the largest amount of donations received by these foundations over the years, but neither President Franco nor the Brazilian government was very satisfied with this result, because their previous ideas were frustrated: previously, they hoped to be able to collect at least 200 million US dollars of wool from Chen Geng, but now, the total amount of wool is less than 50 million US dollars......
For this reason, before leaving, President Franco also made a special trip to meet with Chen Geng, and this time, President Franco's tone was particularly sincere: "Mr. Fernández, there are still many places in Brazil that you are worth investing in, do you really no longer consider it?"
"Mr. President, what can I say? I originally planned to build a computer production base in Brazil, and even planned to persuade our partners to build an electronics foundry in Brazil, you should know that such a foundry factory can provide a large number of jobs in Brazil," Chen Geng shrugged his shoulders and looked regretful: "But because we all know the reasons, we ......
Franco frowned, he didn't expect Chen Geng to be so insistent in this matter, and he refused to back down even a step, but an electronic product foundry factory.
He knows that a large-scale electronic product foundry factory can directly create tens of thousands of jobs, and around this electronic product foundry factory, it will also create tens of thousands of service industry jobs such as catering, hotel accommodation, retail, non-staple food supply, etc., and for the associated upstream and downstream supporting and import and export industries, at least more than 100,000 jobs can be created, which will directly pull the economy of this region, not to mention the large amount of tax revenue created by it, Franco was moved, but Chen Geng's previous conditions......
"Mr. Fernández, your previous conditions have made it difficult for me. ”
Chen Geng smiled, he knew that when Franco said this, it actually meant that he had been shaken: "Your Excellency President, you should know that we have a good cooperative relationship with several electronic product OEM companies, and in the area of electronic product OEM, I tell you the truth, there are not a few large-scale factories in South America, think about it, if there is such an enterprise that can directly create tens of thousands of jobs and indirectly create hundreds of thousands of upstream and downstream and peripheral service jobs, how much support will you get?"
Approval rating......
Chen Geng's words can be regarded as poking at President Franco's heart.
As long as he is a president, there is no one who does not care about the approval rating, and Franco is naturally no exception, but he attaches more importance to the approval rating than other presidents, not because of anything else, but because his throne is not so "orthodox".
