Obviously, McDonald Jr. knows very well that the US government and the Pentagon will not allow McDonnell Douglas to take the MD-12 to Huaxia for production, but it should still be possible to OEM some fuselage parts such as vertical tails and wings.

At a time when the U.S. government is also seeking reconciliation with Huaxia, the work of OEM of some parts of the MD-12 will be assigned to China's aviation companies, and MacDonald Jr. feels that he is not too sure.

Chen Geng didn't mean to be a moral saint, why bother, he stopped China Eastern Airlines from buying MD-12, maybe he would be thought to be someone else's plan, listening to little MacDonald say this, he nodded: "If you say so, will you give China Eastern Airlines the biggest discount?"

"Of course," McDonald Jr. said without hesitation, "Needless to say that they are your compatriots, even if it is just because they are the first buyers of the MD-12, I will give them a big enough discount." ”

Chen Geng nodded, saying that he remembered this favor, as a reciprocation for the favor of McDonald Jr., Chen Geng reminded him: "Mike, I just learned the news that Boeing has begun to put pressure on the 4V government. ”

McDonald Jr.'s face suddenly changed: "Boeing has put pressure on 4V?"

"Well," Chen Geng responded, seeing the sudden change in McDonald's face, he understood that this guy already knew the seriousness of the problem, so he continued: "You have dealt with 4V a lot, you should know what kind of reaction 4V will have, if you still want to keep Hanxiang Airlines as a partner, I suggest you take action this morning." ”

Although Chen Geng is not optimistic that McDonald Jr. can save the situation, as a friend, he still has to remind him.

McDonald Jr. nodded solemnly: "I understand." ”

The problem is indeed very serious.

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

Boeing's movements are fast, even faster than Chen Geng imagined.

The day after Chen Geng and McDonald Jr. finished chatting, before McDonald Jr. took any action, Zhengnan, the leader of the 4V government, accepted an interview with the media about the cooperation between Hanxiang and McDonnell Douglas, and publicly stated that he did not approve of the cooperation between Hanxiang and McDonnell Douglas, because the cooperation between Hanxiang and McDonnell Douglas could not bring the military aviation technology that 4V needed most.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

Zhengnan's statement did not cause even a small splash in other industries, but in the world's aviation industry and aviation operation industry, it was like a big stone thrown into a small pond, and the entire industry was shaken!

Everyone knows that McDonnell Dalwellall has high hopes for MD-12, even those airlines, although they have not yet negotiated cooperation with McDonnell Douglas, but they are actually highly concerned about MD-12: if McDonnell Dalwell really makes MD-12, it means that Boeing 747 has competitors, which is of course a good thing for everyone, and according to McDonnell Douglas's previously released data, McDonnell Dalwellwell's MD-12's single-seat profit margin is higher than that of Boeing 747.

But who would have thought that at this time, the 4V Hanxiang company, which took out nearly half of the investment quota for the MD-12 project, was publicly disapproved by their government.

The question is, is this 4V against the MD-12 project?

No, in fact, it is clear to everyone that this is Boeing's counterattack against McDonnell Douglas and the MD-12 program.

Boeing is worthy of being the Boeing that beat McDonnell Douglas, and it is extremely decisive, and it will start when it is time to start, without half a minute of hesitation, and overnight, McDonnell Douglas's stock ushered in a wave of sharp declines again.

McDonald Jr. was shocked, and after an urgent consultation with the core management, he immediately made a public speech the next day, saying that the 4V leaders may not know enough about the MD-12 project, and the MD-12 project will be able to greatly promote the development of the 4V aviation industry and aviation technology, and at the same time bring at least tens of thousands of jobs to 4V.

Regarding McDonald Jr.'s statement, Masao's office quickly made a statement, saying that he welcomed Mr. McDonald Jr. to visit 4V.

In the final analysis, although the 4V cannot provoke Boeing, it also does not dare to offend McDouglas too much, Boeing is not easy to provoke, is McDonnell Douglas easy to provoke? Boeing has tremendous influence in Congress, the White House, and even the Pentagon, does McDonnell Douglas have no influence in the White House, Congress, and the Pentagon? As far as 4V is concerned, although McDonnell Douglas's influence in these places has begun to weaken, if it really annoys McDonnell Douglas, McDonnell Douglas has made up his mind to stumble on 4V, and it is really not too easy.

Not to mention what kind of result will be achieved by McDonald Jr.'s 4V trip, let's just talk about China, in the face of 4V's statement, the entire senior management of China Eastern Airlines was confused: What do you mean? 4V actually opposes the MD-12 project?

Since they plan to purchase the MD-12, of course, they have a detailed understanding of the MD-12 project before this, and know that the 4V Hanxiang Airlines is the largest investor in the McDonnell Douglas MD-12 project, and the investment amount accounts for half of the funds required for the entire project, but what is the situation now? The MD-12 project is dangerous?

Zhang Lei, deputy secretary of the party group and deputy general manager of the group, scratched his head depressedly: "When we were planning to buy MD-12 before, was this project not good, why did it suddenly become like this overnight?"

Yes, the reason why China Eastern Airlines plans to buy the MD-12 aircraft, in addition to the fact that the MD-12 is larger than the Boeing 747 and is a real full double-decker passenger aircraft, if China Eastern Airlines has the MD-12, in a sense, it means that China Eastern Airlines has overwhelmed Air China, on the other hand, it is also China Eastern Airlines, or the above attaches great importance to the strong 4V elements in the MD-12 project: this is a bridge to communicate cross-strait relations, once this bridge is opened, will China Eastern Airlines not contribute to the reunification of the motherland?

It's just that Zhang Lei can't figure it out, it's only been a few days, why have things changed so much?

Not only Zhang Lei couldn't figure it out, but other executives couldn't figure it out either, Li Jian, who was also one of the group's executives, had a wrinkled Sichuan character on his brow, which could kill mosquitoes: "The question now is, can the MD-12 aircraft be built?"

yes, can the MD-12 still be done?

This problem has become the most serious problem facing the group's executives: for China Eastern Airlines, the MD-12 has a double meaning at home and abroad, and everything is ready on its side, why does it seem to be withering outside?

"It's useless for us to guess here, why don't we ask Lao Xu to find out the situation with Mr. Chen," After a frown, someone finally made a suggestion: "Mr. Chen and Mr. MacDonald Jr. have a very good personal relationship, maybe they can understand something deeper through Mr. Chen?"

Right!

This suggestion made everyone's eyes light up: What's the use of let's guess here? The personal relationship between Chen Geng and Little MacDonald is so good, ask Chen Geng directly.

Ma Ruoshan, chairman of the group, looked to the left, then to the right, and saw that everyone nodded, and he finally made a decision: "Then trouble Lao Xu again." ”

If there is no accurate news about this matter for a day, everyone's hearts will not fall for a day.

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

For Comrade Xu, this is not a big deal, it's just an errand, a small matter, but when he contacted Chen Geng's office to determine a specific date for his visit, the staff of Chen Geng's office told him that his boss had gone to Brazil......

"Went to Brazil?" Comrade Xu was stunned for a moment: "Excuse me, it's convenient to tell me what Mr. Chen is doing in Brazil, right?"

The staff told him that Chen Geng was invited by Embraer to visit Embraer, and after knowing the news that his boss was coming to Brazil, the President of Brazil sent him an invitation in the name of the Presidential Palace, that is, his boss had some other things to do after he arrived in Brazil.

Embraer invited Chen Geng to visit and ask rhetorical questions?

The President of Brazil personally sent an invitation to Chen Geng?

Although I don't know what Chen Geng's trip to Brazil is for, but listen, as long as you listen to this arrangement, you will know that Chen Geng's trip to Brazil this time will definitely not be small.

Not small indeed!

After such a long delay, Embraer finally couldn't take it anymore: the EMB-145 aircraft, which Embraer had high hopes for, has not yet had the funds to start.

Brazil in 1993 is not Brazil more than 10 years later, the current Embraer is mired in financial difficulties and cannot extricate itself, although the EMB-145 project with high hopes has been announced for several years, but limited by lack of funds, it has not been able to officially launch, and they have no choice but to put their hopes on Chen Geng: Mr. Fernández Chen promised us that he would help us develop EMB-145.

And for Chen Geng, calculating the time, it's almost the same.

The arrival of Chen Geng, the Brazilian government attaches great importance to the reception of a very high standard, and now the whole of Brazil, and even the entire South American economy is not very good, the two largest countries in South America, Brazil and Argentina, are sluggish, the unemployment rate remains high, and along with the economic malaise and the high unemployment rate, is the rapidly rising crime rate, the Brazilian government very much hopes that Chen Geng can invest in Brazil, It is best to bring the capital of European and American countries to invest in Brazil to stimulate the economy and reduce the unemployment rate - the unemployment rate and the crime rate are simply twin brothers born from one to one, whenever the unemployment rate rises, the crime rate is also rising rapidly, which is very easy to understand, there is no money to eat without a job, the problem is that there is no money to eat, the stomach will be hungry, driven by instinct, those who do not have a job will naturally steal, to rob, because of the rising unemployment rate and crime rate, the Brazilian government is now in a hurry.

On the way from the airport to the presidential palace, Chen Geng bluntly said to Otavio Legu Barros, the chief of staff of the Brazilian presidential palace who came to pick him up at the airport in person: "Mr. Barros, I know that the purpose of your invitation to come here is to hope that I can use my influence to help Brazil increase the employment rate and develop the economy, and also to help Mr. Franco stabilize the situation.

Although Chen Geng's words were very direct, and even his words were a little unreasonable, Otavio Legu Barros was not angry at all, on the contrary, he was very happy in his heart: Fernández Chen's willingness to talk about this issue is a good thing in itself.
