Chapter 672: Shameless Blackmail

At the moment when Sir Ralph Robbins spoke, Chen Geng imagined all kinds of conditions that Sir Ralph Robbins might propose, but he didn't expect that the conditions he proposed would be like this, so that after listening to Ralph Robbins's request, Chen Geng's shocked mouth couldn't close......

"Sir, what are you kidding?!" Chen Geng's eyes widened and he looked at Ralph Robbins in surprise: "RB211 doesn't mean anything to me, why should I buy it?"

Yes, Rolls-Royce is not dead yet, the second condition they put forward is to bundle the RB211 engine together in this cooperation agreement, requiring Chen Geng to package and buy the RB211 and the "Tai" 650-8C together, the package price is 300 million pounds, that is, the RB211 will be sold for 210 million pounds.

This is RB211, together with General Electric's CF6, Pratt Whitney's JT9D, and Lao Maozi's D-18T, it is one of the only four ultra-high-thrust aero engines in the world today with a thrust of more than 200KN, and Rolls-Royce actually wants to shoehorn it into himself at a price of 210 million pounds?

Chen Geng's shocked mouth couldn't close.

He never thought that there would be such a day: when more than 30 years later, when the Chinese online literature industry was still looking at Ermao's D-18T drooling wildly and all kinds of YY, today in 1982, the poor and crazy Rolls Royce used such a shameless trick to sell the technology of RB211 with greater thrust to himself, forcing himself to buy their things?

Is......

Chen Geng only now discovered that reality is always more bizarre and nonsense.

Sir Ralph Robbins was a little embarrassed, and he also felt that Rolls-Royce's approach was a bit embarrassing, this thing was not done in an authentic way, but there was no way, a penny was difficult to win the hero: "The technology of the RB211 engine is the most advanced high-thrust aero engine technology in the world today, if you buy it......"

Chen Geng hurriedly interrupted Sir Ralph Robbins's words, and said helplessly: "Sir, I have never denied the advanced nature of the RB211, but you should know the reason why I didn't buy it, it is too advanced, and the thrust is too great, in the foreseeable future thirty or fifty years, it is impossible for Huaxia to copy it, and I have no aircraft that can match it." โ€

Speaking of this, Chen Geng paused, holding back the excitement in his heart, Chen Geng frowned vigorously (he was afraid that he would not laugh out loud like this), and continued to Sir Ralph Robbins with an embarrassed face: "I know that Rolls-Royce is in a difficult financial situation...... Well, how about I be able to give Rolls-Royce a three-year loan totaling $50 million?"

Sir Ralph Robbins shook his head and said to himself: "Nonsense! If you don't know that you can't copy it even if you are given thirty years, why would Lao Tzu give up his face and desperately want to sell RB211 to you?"

As for the loan or something, Sir Ralph Robbins is not uncommon, the loan has to be repaid, and it is repaid with principal and interest, and it cannot even be overdue, otherwise it will have a very bad impact on the credit of the Rolls-Royce Group, but if this is enough to package RB211 and "Thai" 650-8C together and sell it to Fernandez Chen, it will be different, it is equivalent to picking up more than 200 million yuan for nothing!

As for the future one day, Chen Geng really succeeded in copying the RB211......

Hi!

What does that have to do with you? If there is a day, maybe you will be buried in the ground for many years.

It is precisely because Rolls-Royce is confident in the technical content of RB211 that they did not even set restrictions on the RB211 purchased by Chen Geng, such as not being used for military purposes and not impacting the market of Rolls-Royce's original RB211......

It's not that they can't think of this, but they know very well that Chen Geng is not interested in RB211 at all, and if there is still a little hope if there is no restriction clause, if there is no restriction clause, then there is no hope at all - to say a thousand things and ten thousand, or Rolls ยท Royce and even the British government are full of confidence in the technical content of RB211, and do not think that Chen Geng, a guy who has no accumulation in the field of aero engine technology, can successfully replicate the RB211 engine: Lao Tzu has accumulated hundreds of years from the first industrial revolution to the present, and Lao Tzu has bankrupted Lao Tzu by engaging in this engine, so how can you do it? Even if Lao Tzu gives you a full set of information and technology, patents, and teaches you hand-in-hand, you can't do it!

Looking at Sir Ralph Robbins, who put on a posture of "Wang Ba bites people and refuses to let go", Chen Gengyi gritted his teeth and had an expression of "Lao Tzu is out!" "In this way, 100 million US dollars, five years, with an annual interest rate of 3.7%, and it can be extended for another year after expiration, how about it?"

Not to mention, hearing Chen Geng say that he would rather give himself a 5+1 low-interest loan with a total of 100 million US dollars, Sir Ralph Robbins was really moved: 100 million US dollars without any strings attached, Fernandez Chen is really very generous, you know, even the British government, the absolute controlling majority shareholder of Rolls-Royce, cannot be so generous to Rolls-Royce.

But after a moment's hesitation, Sir Ralph Robbins shook his head: "I'm sorry. โ€

The borrowed money has to be repaid with interest, how can it be obtained with technology...... Uh, no, it's the money you get from selling technology?

Chen Geng stopped talking, he stood up, pulled off his tie vigorously, and walked around the room with a snort and anxiety.

Sir Ralph Robbins understood very well why Chen Geng had such a reaction, and he even felt that Chen Geng's self-control ability was already very good.

But now, Sir Ralph Robbins is in a very happy mood: to be able to force a billionaire worth ten figures to this job, and the other party has nothing to do with him, Sir Ralph Robbins still has a great sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Suddenly, Chen Geng looked determined and turned around suddenly: "'Tai' 650-8C, you sell it for 180 million pounds, right?

What the?!

Sir Ralph Robbins was dumbfounded, and it took him a moment to realize what Chen Geng meant: in order not to be a burden to RB211, he would rather accept Rolls Royce's blackmail against him on the "Tai" 650-8C?

it!

What's next to this?

Sir Ralph Robbins was dumbfounded.

But the old giants are the old giants, in the previous internal discussions that designed different strategies for Fernandez Chen's different reactions, Rolls-Royce really took this possibility into account, Sir Ralph Robbins He smiled bitterly: "Fernandes, my next words do not represent me personally, they are the meaning of the Rolls-Royce Group......"

Chen Geng nodded: "Okay, you say." โ€

"The costing department has calculated the previous quotation and found that the price of 180 million pounds will cause Rolls-Royce to form a huge financial loss, so we are sorry for the previous offer given to you, but if you only buy the 'Thai' 650-8C, the price cannot be less than 225 million pounds. โ€

After speaking, Sir Ralph Robbins looked at Chen Geng with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fernandez, this is really not something I can control. โ€

Sir Ralph Robbins's old face was a little red, and he also felt that this thing was quite inauthentic, but what could be done if it was not authentic, this was a decision directly from the British government, the absolute controlling shareholder.

"Good!"

Chen Geng's "angry" face turned red, nodded heavily, and said three more times: "Good! good! Good! Rolls-Royce's style of acting, I can be considered to understand ......."

"Personally, Mr. Fernandez, I'm sorry," Sir Ralph Robbins sighed, still with a guilty expression: "But what I want to say to you is that this offer is definitely the lowest, you go to Pratt Whitney and General Electric, they either don't sell, or the offer must be much higher than ours, so ......"

So, although we are a little black, but the black is actually not particularly outrageous, if you don't believe it, you go to Pratt Whitney and General Electric to try it, they will definitely make you doubt life.

"I need to think about it. โ€

After a long time, Chen Geng finally spoke, and his voice seemed a little hoarse.

Sir Ralph Robbins had a smug smile on his face: "Of course, this is your right. โ€

He knew that this was nothing more than an unquestionable move by Fernandez Chan for his own face, but in the end, he would definitely accept Rolls-Royce's blackmail...... Oh no, it's a reasonable purchase suggestion.

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

As for Chen Geng, it wasn't until he got into the car and raised the partition between the front and rear seats that he began to hold his stomach and laugh wildly: "Hahahaha......"

Because it was too much zinc powder, Chen Geng even laughed out of tears.

This play is so hard, it's RB211, who doesn't want it?

But Chen Geng knows very well that the most likely way to get RB211 is to show that he has no interest in this engine at all, and only by convincing Rolls-Royce that he has no interest in RB211 at all, can he successfully get it, fortunately, the hard work pays off, and his acting skills just now should have a place in La Masia Film and Television Academy, right?

Finally, Sir Ralph Robbins, who was also very excited, immediately returned to his office and called the man at 10 Downing Street, after personally sending Chen Geng, who had a gloomy face and seemed to have lost hundreds of millions of dollars, into the car: "Yes...... When the conversation was over, he was very upset...... Of course, of course, of course, he has the right to be unhappy, but as you said, he can only be unhappy, who let him reach such a cooperation agreement with the Huaxia government, in order for the next cooperation to go smoothly, he must get 'Thai' 650, this is our chance......"
