The photos below, with the MD-12 starting to assemble and undergoing static tests on the ground, all show Rahman the fact that even the powerful McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Group had built such a larger aircraft than the Boeing 747.

He immediately began to think in his heart: if this plane is real, then maybe it is really necessary to add a plane for His Majesty as His Majesty's air palace to show His Majesty's majesty?

It's just the next stack of photos that makes Rahman a little suspicious: how can there be a photo of an MD-12 with a finished livery on it?

As the Grand Governor of King Bolkiah, Rahman was not too angry with Little MacDonald [Country], and he pointed to this picture and asked Little MacDonald: "Dear Mr. MacDonald, this plane is ......"

"Oh, and this plane is a full-size ground model. Little MacDonald took one look and said immediately.

"Full-scale ground model?" Rahman was a little suspicious.

"That's right," McDonald Jr. nodded, explaining to Rahman, "Some airlines need to see the interior and exterior of the MD-12 more intuitively, so we built this full-scale model at 1:1 scale to give everyone a more visual understanding of our aircraft." ”

So that's it!

Rahman nodded again and again, thinking that this was a good idea: how to let customers know the aircraft better and more intuitively when the aircraft has not yet completed its test flight? Obviously, it is a very good way to build a full-size ground model...... Doesn't that mean you can get to know the aircraft yourself through this full-scale model?

Thinking of this, Rahman's eyes lit up.

MacDonald Jr. went on to explain to Rahman: "Although our MD-12 has a much larger passenger capacity than the Boeing 747, the requirements for the airport are exactly the same, and any airport that can meet the requirements of the Boeing 747 will be able to take off and land our MD-12, which means that if His Majesty Bolkiah uses the MD-12 as his air residence, there is no need to rebuild the airport in Brunei at all."

In addition, in our program, the MD-12 is not only a 'hub-to-hub' large intercontinental airliner, but also the most suitable platform for wealthy royals to build a luxurious and wealthy sky palace......"

"Wait a minute, Mr. MacDonald," Rahman was suddenly anxious, and he hurriedly interrupted little MacDonald, "what do you mean, you will also sell this plane to other royal families?"

"Of course," looked at Rahman, and McDonald Jr. smiled: "Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar...... Don't these wealthy royal families feel that their existing palace in the sky is too shabby?MD-12 is the most suitable tool to show off their wealth and wealth. ”

“......”

Rahman opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

If McDonnell Doesnnell Douglas doesn't sell the MD-12 to other royal families? That's impossible, and for McDonnell Douglas, of course, the more you sell, the better.

"We have a lot of respect for Your Majesty," McDonald Jr. said, after a moment of subjection, "If Your Majesty is interested in purchasing the MD-12 as his Aerial Palace, we are willing to focus our propaganda on the point that 'the richest and first king to own the world's largest Imperial Palace' is the focus of the propaganda." ”

The richest and first king to own the world's largest palace in the sky?

Rahman was really a little moved.

The royal family of Saudi Arabia, the king of the United Arab Emirates, the king of Qatar, the king of Brunei...... There has been a lot of debate among these royal families about who is the richest in the whole cult world, and no one is convinced: you say you're the richest?

If we can get the approval of Mr. Fernández Chan and Mr. MacDonald Jr., then who dares to say that our esteemed Bolkiah is no match for the other three?

Of course, the premise is that His Majesty will be the first to buy this MD-12 and make it a luxurious air palace, and I believe that this plane must be very expensive, although Rahman does not know how much such an aircraft costs, but at least 200 million US dollars, this is only the price of "bare metal", after buying the plane, but also to invite the top international designers, with the top materials for the esteemed King to design the interior and decoration, this is a lot of money, but "the first king to have the world's largest air palace." Rahman was not ready to give it up, and this title could only belong to His Majesty Honorable Bolkiah.

"I need to ask Your Majesty for advice. Eventually, Rahman said to McDonald Jr.

"Of course. McDonald Jr. nodded in understanding.

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

Rahman was gone, and he kept trying to hold his excited little McDonald before he waved his fist excitedly: "Yes!"

He was excited, pitiful to say, don't look at McDonnell Douglas has got so many MD-12 "intention orders", but the vast majority of these intention orders are impossible to convert into actual orders, which belongs to the nature of "helping friends", and there are few real orders.

But now, after listening to Chen Geng's advice, he just came to these rich places where he had nothing but oil to sell, but he didn't expect the first stop to be so smooth, the head of the Brunei royal family was suddenly excited, and from Rahman's glowing eyes, little MacDonald knew that the hope of achieving this business was greatly increased!

After the excitement was over, little MacDonald held Chen Geng's hand and was grateful: "Dude, thank you, really, thank you very much, you have helped me a lot." ”

"You're welcome, have you forgotten that I'm also a shareholder of the MD-12 project?" Chen Geng said with a smile: "I'm also helping myself." ”

"Yes, yes," little McDonald nodded again and again, but he was still very excited, and after enduring it, he still couldn't help it, and asked Chen Geng: "Dude, how likely do you think it is to win Brunei?"

"Judging from Rahman's reaction, at least forty percent," Chen Geng thought for a moment and gave a conservative figure: "If we can invite Rahman to inspect our full-scale model when we leave, this possibility can probably be increased to 5 to 5.5 percent." ”

"That's close to six? Yes! Great!" Little McDonald was excited and excited like a child, he hadn't been so excited in a long time, "I just don't know if Rahman will learn about our MD-12 from Mahdi when he goes back." ”

"That's certain," Chen Geng said without hesitation: "Who else can Rahman find besides Mahdi?"

Mahdi is the general manager of Royal Brunei Airlines, and it can be said that Mahdi is the person who knows the development of the world's civil aviation industry in Brunei best, and if he wants to know about the MD-12, Mahdi is the best candidate.

In fact, after leaving the hotel where Chen Geng and MacDonald Jr. stayed, Rahman's phone call went directly to Mahdi's personal mobile phone - in front of ordinary people, Mahdi is the general manager of the honorable and high-ranking Royal Brunei Airlines, but in front of Rahman, Mahdi is just a small supervisor in charge of the royal family's property, and he belongs to a small minion under him.

After receiving Rahman's call, Mahdi immediately put down his work and rushed to Rahman's front as fast as he could, thinking that he had made some serious mistake and would be scolded by Mahman.

"Mahdi, let me ask you, what do you know about the MD-12 aircraft of the American McDonnell Douglas aircraft?"

Rahman's first words made Mahdi feel relieved: It turns out that the chief manager is looking for me, not because I made a mistake?

"The MD-12 is the largest civil aircraft in the world developed by McDonnell Douglas in the United States," Mahdi hurriedly said, as the general manager of Royal Brunei Airlines, he is really no stranger to the MD-12, which once occupied the headlines of the civil aviation industry: "Because the financial situation of the McDonnell Douglas Group was relatively difficult before, the airlines did not trust McDonnell Douglas to be able to successfully mass produce the MD-12, so McDonnell Douglas did not win an order for a single plane, but in the world's richest man Fernandes." After Mr. Chen took a stake in the MD-12 project, everyone renewed their confidence in the project, and I learned that a number of airlines had already signed orders of interest with McDonnell Douglas. ”

"Hmm...... No wonder ......"

Rahman nodded involuntarily: He wondered why Chen Geng came to Brunei with McDonald Jr., it turned out that he held a stake in the MD-12 project, so it was no wonder.

No wonder?

Mahdi gave Archsteward Rahman a strange look, and felt that the esteemed Archsteward was speaking strangely.

Rahman didn't mean to explain to Mahdi, he groaned for a while, and asked Mahdi again: "Mahdi, what do you think about the prospects of this plane?"

What's going on, boss, why do you keep asking about MD-12?

Mahdi muttered in his heart that only after understanding the psychological tendencies of Grand Governor Rahman could he give a targeted answer.

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

Rahman nodded involuntarily: He wondered why Chen Geng came to Brunei with McDonald Jr., it turned out that he held a stake in the MD-12 project, so it was no wonder.

No wonder?

Mahdi gave Archsteward Rahman a strange look, and felt that the esteemed Archsteward was speaking strangely.
