Chapter 1056: Preliminary Intent

|||->-What does > mean?

Of course, it means market share!

After Wang Dazhi reported the situation to himself yesterday, Guo Wenxiang asked people to find McDonnell Douglas's sales information over the years, although the information that can be found is quite not detailed, but it can also be seen through this shabby information that McDonnell Douglas's market share is declining, especially McDonnell Douglas's leading backbone products, that is, the sales of short- and medium-range narrow-body trunk aircraft, that is, Wang Xiaoer's New Year's Day is not as good as a year.

Although there is no sales data for Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 in the materials sent yesterday, if you think about it with the soles of your feet, you can also think of who took the markets that the MD-80 and MD-90 lost.

From this point of view, the wing crane engine, 3+3 seats per row of short-range narrow-body trunk aircraft, is indeed the mainstream development trend of short-range narrow-body trunk aircraft in the future, 3+2 and tail crane have become obsolete.

For McDonnell Douglas, in this era of declining market share, if it can't quickly launch a new product that meets the market demand to stabilize its basic market, maybe McDonnell Douglas will be driven out of the short- and medium-range narrow-body trunk aircraft segment by Boeing and Airbus.

The Koreans were driven out

Thinking of this, Guo Wenxiang's eyes lit up: "Mr. Chen, does this mean that McDonnell Douglas will definitely buy it?"

Knowing what Guo Wenxiang meant by this, Chen Geng smiled and reminded him: "Mr. Guo, McDonnell Douglas has no shortage of technical strength at all, and it would be bad if McDonnell Douglas was forced to find a way to solve the problem by himself." ”

Yes, yes, Guo Wenxiang immediately reacted: McDonnell Douglas is not a fat sheep who has no power to fight back and can only be slaughtered by himself, and he really can't force the other party to be anxious.

"What you said makes sense," Guo Wenxiang nodded, recognizing Chen Geng's words, and he looked at Chen Geng expectantly: "Then ......"

Just looking at Guo Wenxiang's expression, Chen Geng knew what he was thinking, and waved his hand with a smile: "Mr. Guo, let me remind you that McDonnell's current situation is indeed not very good, but there is an old saying that 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse', and the current McDonnell Douglas is far from being 'skinny to death', and the most important thing is that McDonnell Douglas is an American company, and McDonald Jr. himself is very rich, if the conditions on our side are very ......"

Drums don't need to be hammered!

Guo Wenxiang immediately knew that the careful thinking he had just taken advantage of the fire to rob would not work.

Looking back and thinking about it now, Guo Wenxiang himself felt a little ashamed in his heart: when he heard that McDonnell Douglas was not in a good situation, he thought about it...... Well, but now that I think about it, although McDonnell Douglas is in a very bad situation now, strictly speaking, it is only at a low ebb temporarily, and it is by no means in a desperate situation where you can only be slaughtered by others...... It's inflated, it's inflated.

He finally really understood what Chen Geng meant: this deal is possible, but it still requires considerable skill.

Thinking about this, Guo Wenxiang was calm in his heart, he glanced at Secretary Li, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Chen, what do you think of this business?"

Chen Geng was not polite to the two of them, and said directly: "Aren't the Bank of China and China Eastern Airlines preparing to purchase a batch of large aircraft for heavy international flight missions......

Without waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking, Guo Wenxiang understood that Air China Group and China Eastern Airlines Group are preparing to purchase a batch of aircraft with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers to carry out flights in North America and Europe, of course he knows, and now the initial intention is Airbus A330, Boeing 767 and McDonnell Douglas MD-11, but which aircraft to choose, the current debate is still relatively large:

Some people think that the Boeing 767 is a little smaller than the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and Airbus A330;

It has been argued that there are some problems with the safety of the MD-11, and that although the MD-11 to be ordered is an improved twin-engine version, the MD-11 should not be considered until time has passed through the process of proving that the twin-engine MD-11 has a more outstanding performance in terms of safety than the triple-engine MD-11;

There are also those who believe that the Airbus A330 has been in service for a short time......

In short, no matter who it is, there are always a lot of reasons for support and opposition.

But now, listening to Chen Geng's meaning, he actually asked Air China Group and China Eastern Airlines to talk about purchasing McDonnell Douglas MD-11?

Guo Wenxiang hesitated: "This ...... Mr. Chen, do you have to MD-11?"

"Of course, it doesn't have to be MD-11," Chen Geng first expressed his attitude: "But Mr. Guo, you think, let's not talk about those argumentative things, only use products to speak, but as far as the Airbus A330, Boeing 767 and MD-11 are concerned, in fact, the Boeing 767 is a circle smaller, strictly speaking, it is half a level behind the Airbus A330 and McDonnell Douglas MD-11 in terms of volume, right?"

Guo Wenxiang thought about it and nodded: This is true, the Boeing 767 is indeed a little smaller.

In fact, everyone understands that for China Eastern Airlines and Air China, Boeing 767 is a companion, and the first to be eliminated after entering the main selection link is Boeing 767, since it is ultimately one of the two choices between Airbus A330 and McDonnell Douglas MD-11, it is natural to choose the most advantageous one for yourself, which is what Chen Geng means.

Chen Geng said with a smile: "In the case that the performance of these two aircraft is not much different, we can say to McDonnell Douglas: if you McDonnell Douglas introduces our F150, we will buy your MD-11, if you don't introduce our technology, we will buy European aircraft, you say, does McDonald Jr. still have a choice?"

Wonderful!

Guo Wenxiang suddenly laughed, and Secretary Li also laughed.

Both of them are in a very good mood: in the past, when we bought airplanes, we spent pure money, but this time we can actually make up for it and come back, tsk...... Earned, earned, earned.

It was Secretary Li, who hesitated for a moment, but still asked Chen Geng: "Mr. Chen, will China Eastern Airlines and Air China oppose this proposal?"

Hearing this, Chen Geng and Guo Wenxiang laughed together.

Secretary Li was a little inexplicable, and he didn't know what the two were laughing at.

"Secretary Li, that's the case," Guo Wenxiang explained to him with a smile: "When we purchase aircraft from various airlines, we will fully listen to and respect the opinions of airlines, but what about it, each company is still a state-owned enterprise, and the funds required to purchase aircraft are also valuable foreign exchange of the country, if the difference between the two aircraft is very large, of course we must respect the opinions of the airlines, but if the gap between the two aircraft is only a gap of 95 points and 96 points, we must fully consider the impact of this business in other aspects." ”

Chen Geng added: "Enterprises still have to take care of the overall situation when necessary, and I also believe that China Eastern Airlines and Air China will not be bad in terms of the overall situation." ”

Secretary Li smiled, a little embarrassed: he thought things complicated.

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

Sure enough, in the next consultation session, when Air China and China Eastern Airlines learned that if they purchased McDonnell Douglas' MD-11, we could sell the technology of COMAC's F150 to McDonnell Douglas, the two companies happily said that if after the final evaluation, it is determined that there is no obvious gap between the MD-11 and the Airbus A330, and the price is also appropriate, they will give priority to McDonnell Donnell Douglas MD-11.

After receiving this affirmative reply, Chen Geng immediately got in touch with McDonald Jr.

"Dude, are you sure? Will they really give priority to our MD-11?" Hearing Chen Geng's statement that the two airlines in China would give priority to McDonnell Douglas, little McDonald was immediately excited.

"Mike, don't be too busy getting excited," Chen Geng said: "These two companies have conditions for purchasing MD-11. ”

"What conditions?" said little MacDonald in a hurry, "You tell them that I can agree to whatever the conditions?"

"Really?" Chen Geng said with a smile: "What if this condition is that McDonnell Douglas must introduce F150 from COMAC?"

“......”

McDonald Jr. was silent.

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

Guo Wenxiang thought about it and nodded: This is true, the Boeing 767 is indeed a little smaller.

In fact, everyone understands that for China Eastern Airlines and Air China, Boeing 767 is a companion, and the first to be eliminated after entering the main selection link is Boeing 767, since it is ultimately one of the two choices between Airbus A330 and McDonnell Douglas MD-11, it is natural to choose the most advantageous one for yourself, which is what Chen Geng means.
