"OK," Ralph Robbins gritted his teeth, "No problem, I will do my best to convince the company to help you develop these three models at the same time, but in terms of price, I can only say that I will do my best...... After all, I'm still Chairman of Rolls-Royce. ”

Even if Ralph Robbins is biased and wants to help Chen Geng save money, it can't be too outrageous.

"Heh......"

Chen Geng smiled, he suddenly turned his head, and motioned to Kelly Hicks on the side to bring over the briefcase she was carrying.

Under Ralph Robbins's puzzled gaze, Chen Geng unzipped his briefcase, and the next moment, Ralph Robbins's breathing suddenly became short......

"Mr. Fernández, you ...... What are you doing here? What do you mean by that?" Looking at the thick stack of dollars that Chen Geng took out on the table, Lord Sir felt that his lips were a little dry, he couldn't help licking his lips, and at the same time subconsciously counted: one, two, three...... Oh my God, ten dollars! a whole ten! That's a hundred thousand dollars!

Why didn't I use a check?

For on the one hand, even bearer cash cheques are not as convenient to use as cash, and for the second reason, which is the most important: for the same $100,000, you put a stack of cash on the table and you put a few cash cheques on the table and the feeling of shock and impact that comes to the other person is completely different – as Sir Ralph Robbins' reaction is the best proof of this.

"Of course it's for you," Chen Geng pushed the money in front of Sir Ralph Robbins, and said with a smile: "As for me, I will never let my friends suffer, and since you have helped me, I can't help but show ...... Rest assured, sir, this money means nothing else, I just hope that you will help me to contact the real gentlemen within Rolls-Royce who share your attitude and oppose the re-privatization of Rolls-Royce. ”

The expression on Sir Ralph Robbins' face kept changing.

Of course he knew that this matter was not as simple as Fernandez Chan said, this damn bastard, he wanted to help him match up and corrupt the entire Rolls-Royce Group board of directors, but ......

Jazz's eyes involuntarily fell on the thick pile of cash, and his mind couldn't help but think of the benefits of cash: anonymous, no taxes, and the risk of exposure was minimized...... Of course, I have professional ethics and integrity, and since I have taken the money, I have to help the other party get things done......

"We all know that Rolls-Royce would have gone bankrupt more than a decade ago had it not been for the help of the British Government in its most difficult time, and in that sense Rolls-Royce would have lost the property of all the people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Rolls-Royce cannot be privatised without the consent of the British people, or at least the parliament that represents the will of all British citizens, because the money paid by the British government for Rolls-Royce comes from the taxes paid by every citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!"

Under Sir Ralph Robbins's ever-changing face, Chen Geng spoke eloquently: "But some profit-hungry careerists and capitalists, for their own selfish interests, want to steal the property belonging to the entire British people, they are all bad guys! They are all bad guys who have been arrested and imprisoned in prison for 100 years! And Sir ...... you."

Staring at Sir Ralph Robbins, Chen Geng changed his tone: "Of course I know this is embarrassing for you, but you are protecting property belonging to all the citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. ”

Does Ralph Robbins believe Chen Geng's words?

He's a fart!

are all foxes who have accumulated years, how could Ralph Robbins be moved by Chen Geng's childish and second-class words?

But does it matter whether you are moved by Chen Geng's words?

It doesn't matter at all.

The important thing is that Chen Geng gave Ralph Robbins a perfect excuse and reason to accept the money: I am not actually seeking my own personal gain, but in this way to protect the property belonging to all the citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and to prevent those greedy bastards from putting the property belonging to the whole country into their own private pockets.

That's enough!

Many times, all they need is a reason, regardless of how clumsy and naïve the reason and excuse may be.

Silently pulling the thick stack of cash on the table towards him, Ralph Robbins said, "Mr. Brandt, Mr. Terry, and Mr. Horton are all opposed to the re-privatization of Rolls-Royce, and I can introduce you to it." ”

Chen Geng smiled.

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

Over the next few days, in the company of Sir Ralph Robbins, Chen Geng frequently met secretly with some of the directors of Rolls-Royce, the first of whom was Mr. Charles Houghton, a loyal ally of Sir Ralph Robbins's board of directors and a staunch opponent of the re-privatization of Rolls-Royce.

"Mr. Houghton, I'm here to ask for your support," After a brief greeting, Chen Geng frankly explained his intentions: "COMAC Group hopes to start the research and development plan of the new model of the 'TAY' series engine drawn up in our previous contract in advance, and make some fine-tuning to the research and development plan...... This is also what we stipulated in the contract at the beginning: COMAC has the right to make appropriate adjustments to the R&D plan according to its actual situation...... I hope that at the board level, this plan will be supported by you. ”

With the thick stack of cash on the table, Chen Geng's words are particularly convincing.

At least that's what Mr. Charles Houghton thought, he first glanced at Sir Ralph Robbins, and after getting an affirmative look from Sir Ralph Robbins, his gaze couldn't help but fall on the thick pile of cash in front of him again, and then said: "Mr. Fernandez, what do you need me to do? ”

"Mr. Horton, how can you think that? I know very well that for the two cooperative enterprises, it is necessary to ensure that everyone has money to make in order to continue the cooperation," Chen Geng's expression was extremely serious, as if he was really not taking advantage of Rolls-Royce: "I mean, I hope that Rolls-Royce can help COMAC develop new models." Tay's series of engines, to give a reasonable offer, that's a reasonable request, and as a true gentleman, you'll support my reasonable request, right?"

"That's it?"

Charles Horton breathed a sigh of relief: if he just hoped that Rolls-Royce would give a reasonable fee when he helped COMAC develop the new engine model of the "TAY", then it would be easy to say, the money did not seem to be hot - as for what kind of charge is reasonable, that is another matter.

"Of course, that's all. Chen Geng's expression was extraordinarily sincere.

"Then I'm fine," Chen Geng's "sincerity" touched Charles Houghton, his gaze lingered on the stack of cash on the table, and finally nodded: "I will support you on the board." ”

"Thank you for your support. Chen Geng smiled happily.

Facts have once again proved that in the capitalist world, the power of capital is invincible, and under Chen Geng's series of public relations, Rolls-Royce soon reached a basic consensus on the matter of "helping COMAC to develop a new 'Tay' series of engines": each model will be charged 10 million pounds.

That is to say, the research and development of MK850, MK1110 and MK1410 three new "tay" engines, Rolls-Royce charged a total of 30 million pounds, and promised to go through the entire process within two years, that is, to complete the entire process of "overall design, prototype trial production, prototype testing, modification of problems found, and final finalization" within two years, and the manufacture of the engine will be complete to the church COMAC Group.

In terms of the price level of this era, it is not cheap, but it is definitely not expensive, and it already belongs to the category of friendship price.

Chen Geng was very happy, which meant that his millions of dollars were not spent in vain, but then, something that made Chen Geng cry and laugh even more appeared: a director actually proposed to sell the RB199 afterburner military turbofan engine to Chen Geng, you know, the RB199 engine is the first real Eurofighter: the "queen" engine of the Tornado fighter.

RB199 is a military afterburner turbofan engine that uses Rolls-Royce's proud three-rotor technology, at that time Rolls-Royce marketed the RB199 MK127/128 engine to Huaxia, which is a maximum thrust of more than 75KN, but the weight of only more than 960 kilograms of the whole machine thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 7.5, The engine with a full-authority digital fuel control system and power thrust reverser has a total engine life of up to 6000 EFH, which is up to 30 years based on the use of 200 EHF per year.

With such an advanced engine, someone actually offered to sell it to Chen Geng, are they crazy?

In fact, it's not crazy at all, it's normal, because of the existence of the Soviet Union, the relationship between the East and the West in this era is like this, even if there is no Chen Geng's trip to the UK, when Chengfei developed the "Super 7" fighter a few years later, Rolls-Royce also sold their engine to Huaxia, the specific time was April 1987.

As for why they are doing this now, because no one is stupid.

Although there is no evidence to prove that those who spoke for Chen Geng on the board of directors received Chen Geng's benefits, do they still need evidence for this kind of thing?

Since the conditions given by Chen Geng are not excessive, then ...... You can sell it, why can't Lao Tzu sell it?

Anyway, the price given by Fernandez Chen is very reasonable.
