Sir Ralph Robbins fits Chen Geng's image of the British people of this era: hand-made shirts, hand-made suits, a watch that may have been inherited from his grandfather, and meticulously combed hair......

So much so that when he saw Sir Ralph Robbins, Chen Geng even had a slight illusion in his heart: Damn! Dude, this is on the wrong set, right?

Illusion is one thing, people are guests anyway, Chen Geng still walked a few steps forward to meet him: "Sir, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Sir Ralph Robbins shook hands with Chen Geng politely, with a just right smile on his face: "Mr. Fernandez, I am so glad to meet you, and I will tell you the truth, you are the idol of my grandchildren and granddaughters. ”

"Really?" Chen Geng's face showed a little surprise: "This is my honor." ”

The place where Chen Geng chose to meet Sir Ralph Robbins was a golf course, and the outdoor open environment and not intense exercise were very conducive to the two people who were still strangers to quickly get acquainted with each other and establish a basic friendship, and then naturally open the topic, especially for Sir Ralph Robbins, a middle-aged and elderly man who is about to be 60 years old, Chen Geng's choice is even more appropriate. So, after playing for half an hour, the conversation between the two naturally shifted to business......

"Mr. Fernandez, may I know why you are involved in this new project of the Fokker aircraft?" asked Sir Ralph Robbins curiously, "with all due respect, your industry does not seem to be very close to aviation. ”

"Of course," Chen Geng nodded, not in the least surprised that Sir Ralph Robbins would ask this question, "you probably know that I have a good relationship with Huaxia. ”

"I've heard of it. Sir Ralph Robbins nodded.

Just as the famous Mr. Hammer is a "red capitalist", as long as everyone talks about Hammer, they will immediately think of all kinds of anecdotes about Mr. Hammer in the Soviet Union, and now when everyone talks about Fernandez Chen, in addition to his miraculous rising energy, everyone is most talked about about his relationship with China.

But no one thinks that there is anything wrong with this, there is anything wrong with this, as long as you make money, camps, isms, beliefs, and so on can all stand aside, and for capitalists, it is the real ability to make money.

It's just that before, when everyone talked about Fernandez Chen at the party, it was nothing more than envy of this guy's good luck, and at the same time sighed with emotion, "This guy can't tell when he will be cheated by the Chinese", but this time, the situation is different, since he Fernandez Chen intends to invest in Fokker's new aircraft project, of course he has to inquire about this Mr. Fernandez Chen.

As the saying goes, if you don't ask, you don't know, and when you ask, you are shocked, and the results of the inquiry have taken Rolls-Royce up and down by surprise: Fernandez Chen not only has a scrap car dismantling and recycling plant in Huaxia, but also has invested in China's infrastructure industry, motorcycle manufacturing and automobile manufacturing industry, real estate industry, and electronics industry...... He even cooperated with a state-owned enterprise in China to set up a super-large pig and chicken farm.

An American billionaire who cooperates with the State Administration of Computer Industry and the State Administration of Radio and Television Industry in China actually invested in the construction of pig farms and chicken farms in China, can you believe such an outrageous thing?

But it just appeared.

Chen Geng continued: "Previously, the Huaxia government invited me to serve as the general adviser of their comprehensive planning for economic and trade cooperation, technology and product introduction with the United States, and in return for me, the Huaxia government allowed me to enter the civil aviation industry in China, so I ......."

Speaking of this, Chen Geng shrugged his shoulders and said: You understand what I mean, right?

“......”

Sir Ralph Robbins could no longer maintain his previous composure, and his mouth grew in surprise. It took a long time before he stumbled and said, "They...... They even allowed you to ......"

"Yes. ”

"So...... Fokker ......"

"Yes. ”

“......”

Ralph Robbins stopped talking, his brain spinning.

As the chairman of the board of directors of Rolls-Royce, compared with other companies in the West, Sir Ralph Robbins thinks that he still knows a lot about the civil aviation industry in China, after all, he sold the RB211 engine to the Chinese people, and knows that the civil aviation industry in China is a mess of shit, but it is said that the economic development of China has been very rapid in recent years, and considering the huge population base of China, it is not difficult to understand Fernandez Chen's approach: for such a large population in China, But for countries where there are very few people who can afford to fly, the 100-seat jet that Fokker is preparing to develop is just right.

So why did Fernández Chan want to join Fokker in its new aircraft development program?

First of all, as a shareholder of this project, he can get the aircraft at the best price, with the highest priority;

Secondly, in terms of the cost of later use, that is, the price of spare parts, he can also obtain a huge cost advantage that other normal customers cannot match;

The best thing is that if the plane sells well in the future, he can still get dividends.

Of course, if the project fails, he will also lose a lot of money, but what does it matter? Since it is an investment, there is a risk, how can there be a sure profit and no loss?

Sir Ralph Robbins, who felt that he had understood Chen Geng's plan, was completely relieved.

Fernandez Chen's willingness to participate is a good thing for Fokker and Rolls-Royce, and for Fokker, it relieves them of financial pressure, and for Rolls-Royce, it means that they have obtained this part of the market share of the Huaxia market out of thin air - based on an average of seven engines for every three aircraft (the extra one is a backup), even if the Huaxia market can provide sales of 20 aircraft, it is nearly 50 engines.

After explaining his doubts and objections, Sir Ralph Robbins immediately said: "I understand, Mr. Fernandez, before I came, I had a brief communication with Mr. Anthony Fokker of Fokker Aircraft, and Mr. Fokker welcomed your optimism about this project, and of course, the specific way of cooperation requires you to communicate with Mr. Fokker personally." ”

"Of course. ”

Chen Geng smiled and nodded, and said in his heart, what do you think I am looking for you for? Isn't it just to let you be this bridge? and...... Foreshadowing your future plans?

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

Anthony Falk called faster than Chen Geng imagined, and in the evening, Chen Geng received his call.

On the phone, Anthony Fokker politely said that he had received a call from Sir Ralph Robbins, and it was very honored that Chen Geng was willing to invest in the new aircraft project of Fokker Aircraft, and then asked Chen Geng when it was convenient, and he could come to the United States to communicate with Chen Geng about this matter when it was convenient for Chen Geng.

"I don't care," Chen Geng said, "but if you have time, it's best within a week." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Anthony Falk to ask, Chen Geng took the initiative to explain: "I'm afraid I'm going to go to Huaxia next week, and I'm going to stay in Huaxia for about one to two weeks." ”

Anthony Faulk, who had just finished talking to Sir Ralph Robbins on the phone, immediately figured out the purpose of Chen Geng's trip to China: to negotiate with the Chinese government on specific matters of cooperation in the field of civil aviation.

Has Fernandez Chan taken things this far?

Anthony Falk was taken aback, before this, both he and Sir Ralph Robbins thought that the cooperation between Chen Geng and Huaxia in the field of civil aviation was still at the level of intention...... It seems that the friendship between Fernandez Chen and the senior management of Huaxia is much deeper than he imagined.

"Mr. Fernandez, you are going to Huaxia ...... this time" Anthony Fokker cautiously probed: "Are you going to talk to the Huaxia government about entering the civil aviation market?"

"No, we have already agreed on this issue," Chen Geng seemed to be completely unaware of Anthony Falk's tentative meaning, and said, "What we want to talk about when I go to Huaxia this time is something else." ”

It's already been negotiated?!

He has already negotiated this matter with the Huaxia government?!

Anthony Falk was shocked, he felt that his three views had been seriously impacted, how deep the friendship between Fernandez Chen and the senior management of China was!

After the shock, Anthony Falk was left with only excitement in his heart!

Although I don't know anything about the Chinese civil aviation market, Huaxia is a huge country with almost 1 billion people and a total land area of 9.6 million square kilometers, which is almost equivalent to the area of the whole of Europe...... No, 50 planes must be fine, right? Damn, why didn't you realize this was an undeveloped virgin land?!

Anthony Faulk, who was still hesitant to be reserved, was completely unreserved, and he immediately said: "Mr. Fernandez, is it convenient for you in three days? If it is convenient for you, I hope to be able to visit you in three days." ”

"Of course it's convenient," Chen Geng said with a smile: "As long as it's in the next week, I'll be convenient at any time." ”

Listening to Anthony Fokker's impatient voice on the phone, the corners of Chen Geng's mouth curled slightly: It seems that the financial pressure of Fokker Aircraft Company is much greater than he imagined.

Also, in this bad era of economic downturn, orders being cancelled one after another, and even airlines are going out of business, how can the pressure on Fokker not be great?
