When Wang Dazhi was arguing with Li Lewen and others, a Taiwan Airlines plane quietly landed in St. Louis, Missouri.

McDonnell Douglas attaches great importance to this 4V aircraft, and in addition to the senior executives who are on business, the entire management team headed by the chairman of the board of directors, McDonald Jr., is almost all here.

The reason why McDonnell Douglas Group attaches so much importance to this 4V aircraft is that it is because Liu Jiacen, chairman of 4V Hanxiang Aviation Industry Co., Ltd., is sitting on this plane, and the purpose of Liu Jiacen's visit to the United States this time is to communicate with McDonald Jr. about the cooperation between the two sides on the MD-12 aircraft.

Although he does not think that a 4V aviation manufacturing company from 4V has the ability to come up with such a large amount of money to cooperate with McDonnell Douglas to develop MD-12 aircraft, but for McDonnell Douglas who does not let go of even a straw now, as long as there is such an opportunity, even if it is an extremely slim opportunity, they will not let it go, so after bidding farewell to Chen Geng, McDonald Jr. immediately entrusted a public relations company in the United States to secretly contact Hanxiang Company。

The results of the feedback made McDonald Jr. shocked and even more delighted: 4V is now greatly reducing military spending, and 4V aviation industry enterprises led by Hanxiang have to begin to seek transformation of enterprises - in the case of military products that cannot make money, seeking breakthroughs from the field of civil aircraft products has become the only choice for the 4V aviation industry.

What makes little McDonald even happier is that for the temptation of this American public relations company that came to the door, in the words of the public relations company, it is described as "4V people have a feeling of being hit by a pie falling from the sky, and they never thought that the famous McDonnell Douglas company would actually find a 4V company to cooperate", so, in this way, "Lang has a concubine intentionally" In less than half a month, Hanxiang Company and McDonnell Douglas Group have decided to contact each other on cooperation matters.

"Chairman, the one at the front is Mr. McDonald Jr., the chairman of McDonnell Douglas Group," Before he got off the plane, Zhang Jiacen's secretary pointed to the person standing at the front of the airport runway and whispered to Zhang Jiacen: "Behind Mr. McDonald Jr. is the vice chairman of the board of directors and the executive deputy general manager of McDonnell Douglas Group. ”

Zhang Jiacen's face was full of redness, and he nodded again and again, and his happy mouth couldn't close: "It seems that McDonnell Douglas Group attaches great importance to cooperation with us." ”

"Yes," the secretary nodded, and reminded his boss in a low voice, "But boss, McDonnell Douglas's MD-12 aircraft project is almost at a standstill now......"

"I know," Zhang Jiacen waved his hand without waiting for the secretary to finish: "I don't know that the biggest reason why McDonnell Douglas found us is that they can't find other partners, but on the other hand, if they can find other partners, what else will happen to our Hanxiang Company?"

Also, take care of your mouth and don't talk nonsense when you shouldn't say it. ”

"Yes!" The secretary knew that he had lost his words, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat and apologized to Zhang Jiacen: "I'm sorry chairman, I will definitely keep in mind your instructions." ”

"Hmmm......"

Zhang Jiacen responded.

Zhang Jiacen was very sober about cooperating with McDonnell Douglas Group, and the day after the public relations company entrusted by McDonald Jr. came to his door, he immediately asked the investigation company to investigate the current situation of McDonnell Douglas Group in detail...... Before that, Zhang Jiacen also knew that the situation of McDonnell Douglas Group was not good, after all, although 4V is far away from the United States, Hanxiang Company is engaged in the aviation industry after all, and has many cooperation with American companies...... Knowing that McDonnell Douglas is in a very bad situation now, but because of this, Zhang Jiacen does not doubt the sincerity of McDonnell Dalwellwells Group's cooperation: if McDonnell Donnell Douglas Group can find other partners, is there any matter about Hanxiang Company?

And Zhang Jiacen knows more clearly, don't think that the current McDonnell Douglas Group is a broken drum, you can come up and knock twice, even if McDonnell Douglas is in a bad situation now, but for Hanxiang Company, he does not have any pride in the confidence, as long as he can establish a cooperative relationship with McDonnell Douglas Group, and become a shareholder of MD-12, Hanxiang Company actually takes a big advantage - if it is not for McDonnell Douglas Company's bad luck now, how can this good thing fall on the head of Hanxiang Company?

After warning his secretary, in order to show that he attached importance to this cooperation, Zhang Jiacen took the first step, walked down the gangway quickly, and took three steps and two steps to come to McDonald Jr. and others: "Labor McDonald Jr. personally came to the airport to greet him, and Zhang was really ashamed." ”

"Mr. Zhang is so polite," McDonald Jr. smiled after listening to the interpretation of the instant interpreter, and said while shaking hands with Zhang Jiacen: "McDonnell Douglas Group has a long history of cooperation with the 4V aviation industry, and I am very happy to be able to meet friends in the 4V aviation industry." ”

The air transport world is also part of the aviation world, and MacDonald Jr. is not wrong to say so.

Zhang Jiacen didn't know that McDonald Jr. was deliberately confusing the difference between the aviation industry and air transportation, but even if he was stupid, he would not point out McDonald's mistake on the spot, but nodded happily: "What you said is that it is also our honor to be able to cooperate with Mr. MacDonald Jr. and you, the American aviation industry. ”

It's just that these words are difficult for this instant interpreter: How should the sentence "Purple Gold Beam of the Sea" be translated?

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

McDonnell Douglas attaches great importance to the arrival of Zhang Jicen and others, but some others are not very happy, such as Steve Hebler, president of Boeing.

"Is the news confirmed?" Steve Hebler squinted his eyes and looked at Patrick Settings, "Does McDonald Jr. really plan to work with 4V?"

"Sir, I'm pretty sure," Patrick Settings nodded, and handed a thick bag of documents to Steve Hebler: "Here are some photos of McDonnell Douglas and 4V Hanxiang that our people have taken, according to what we have, 4V Hanxiang Group is very interested in investing in McDonnell Douglas's mD-12 project, and they are ready to spend at least $1.5 billion to participate in this project, as for the specific details, we are still investigating." ”

"4V people are very bold," Steve Hebler's brows furrowed very much: "They don't know that McDonnell Douglas is in today's situation all because of our 'care'?

"Hehe......"

Patrick Settings didn't speak, just shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Do you think this is useful? I didn't see that the 4V people are coming to the United States."

Steve Hebler also understood what his assistant meant, he pursed his lips, did not hide his dissatisfaction with Hanxiang Company's move, waved his hand vigorously, and said: "Patrick, go tell the 4V people, just say that we don't want to see their cooperation with McDonnell Douglas, let them obediently go back to their island, if they don't want to be unlucky, it's best to get out of me immediately!"

Steve Hebler's remarks were rude and outrageous to the extreme, but Patrick Settings did not think there was anything wrong with it at all: Haven't Americans always had such an uncley attitude towards the 4V people more than half a century ago? If it weren't for the fact that 4V is of great benefit to the strategic interests of the United States, the devil would be too lazy to pay attention to those spineless, pretentious fools who are actually infighting inside and outside the amateur. He nodded: "I'll arrange it right away." ”

"Don't arrange for others, you go by yourself," said Steve Hebler, "to let the 4V people know Boeing's attitude clearly, if we have already made our attitude so clear, these bastards dare to continue to harm Boeing's interests......"

At this point, Steve Hebler didn't say anything, just waved his hand down.

Patrick Settings smiled: "OK, boss, I'll arrange it." ”

Thanks to the experience of dealing with those people in 4V for more than half a century, a considerable number of people in American politics and industry know how to deal with 4V: as long as you have some connections in politics and Congress, and then let these people stand up and publicly criticize 4V, these guys will immediately be scared like quails, and the last thing they lack is contacts and connections in politics.

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

After a few days of communication with McDonnell Douglas, Zhang Jiacen's mood is extremely happy, although there are still great differences in the proportion of capital contribution and share ratio of cooperation, but in the matter of cooperation, both sides have a strong will, for Zhang Jiacen this is enough: it is normal to have differences, but as long as both sides have the willingness to cooperate, everyone can talk slowly.

It's just that when Patrick Settings found himself, Zhang Jicen's good mood suddenly disappeared......

"Ask us to stop cooperating with McDonnell Dalwellwell and go back to 4V immediately?" Looking at the vice president of marketing of Boeing in front of him, Zhang Jiacen's face turned a little pale, and his mouth was about to bite: "Mr. Setins, why?"

"Because of your cooperation with McDonnell Douglas, Boeing's interests have been harmed!" Patrick Settings did not hide his bandit face: "Zhang, on behalf of Boeing, I warn you that if you do not immediately stop cooperating with McDonnell Douglas, Boeing will take all possible measures to protect its own interests." ”

“......”

Zhang Jiacen felt that his lungs were about to explode: We just want to cooperate with McDonnell Douglas, how can we harm your Boeing interests? You are robbers! Bandits!

But although Boeing has been scolded in his heart, Zhang Jiacen didn't dare to say a word in his mouth: that is Boeing, Boeing, which has a huge influence in the military, politics and economic fields in the United States, and they can use their huge influence in the US government to put pressure on the 4V government.

Looking at Zhang Jiacen's face was light and white, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, Patrick Setins's mood was very happy: Yes, I just relied on my own strength to bully you, what's wrong with this?

Patrick Setins, who was in an extremely happy mood, even lit a cigar with extreme X, and glanced at Zhang Jiacen: "Of course, you can continue to stay in the United States, but you will bear the consequences! OK, that's all." ”

After speaking, he walked away.

Patrick Settings left, the huge living room was silent, Zhang Jiacen had so many assistants, subordinates and secretaries, no one dared to speak, only Zhang Jiacen's face was white and red for a while, and after a long time, someone finally whispered: "Chairman, what should we do?"

This sentence seems to open up the conversation box all of a sudden......

"Yes, Chairman, now that Boeing doesn't allow us to cooperate with McDonnell Douglas, what should we do? Do you want to continue talking to McDonnell Douglas?"

"Why don't we go back, it's Boeing......"

"Go back, chairman, how can we afford to mess with Boeing?"

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

These guys were all scared by Patrick Setins's words.

But others expressed dissatisfaction......

"Why? Based on his Boeing words, we should immediately admit it?"

"That's it, although Boeing is very domineering, but this opportunity is too important for our Hanxiang......"

"But what if Boeing presses the government?"

"Find a way, in short, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth......"

"The soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth...... You say it's easy ......."

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

"Alright!

Zhang Jiacen was hurt by his group of subordinates, and he couldn't stand it, so he waved his hand vigorously: "Look at your cowardice, others come to scare you a few words, and you are scared, and you can't wait to hug your head and run away?"

"Uh...... Chairman, that's Boeing......" Someone expressed disbelief and defended in a slushful manner.

This sentence caused a chain reaction, and immediately someone shouted: "That's right, chairman, that's Boeing......"

That's Boeing, who can afford to mess with it?

"Look at your attendance!" Zhang Jicen snorted, although he also had lingering fears about Patrick Setins' threat just now, but now is not the time to admit it, otherwise how could the majesty of his chairman remain?: "What about Boeing? Could it be that the United States is the final word for Boeing? Could it be that he Boeing can still cover the sky in the United States?"

That's certainly not possible!

Everyone hurriedly shook their heads: Even if Boeing is bullish, it is impossible for the United States to cover the sky single-handedly, and everyone knows this.
