Chapter 640: I Can't Scare You to Death!
Anthony Fokker gushed to Chen Geng about their vision for the new generation of F28, that is, the future Fokker F100, and confidently said that this aircraft with a passenger capacity of 97 people (first class + economy class layout) to 119 people (full economy class layout) can well fill the Boeing 737 and McDonnell Douglas MD-80, two 150-seat trunk aircraft and 50 to 60 seat regional aircraft, the lower passenger flow transportation market.
"We call this market between the trunk line and the branch line the big feeder/small trunk market," Anthony Falk said with confidence: "We have done sufficient market research, there is no product in the market today that is positioned in this range, with the continuous deepening of economic globalization, we are optimistic that in the next 30 years, the market will be positioned in the domestic trunk flights of large countries and the demand for trunk flights between small countries will exceed 4,000 aircraft."
Even considering that giants such as Boeing and McDonnell Douglas may launch 'smaller' versions of existing models to compete with us for market share, we are still very sure that we will win at least a third of the market share, and counting the profits from after-sales services, this means that this aircraft will generate tens of billions of dollars in profits for us over the next 30 years......"
It's a pity that in the face of Anthony Falk's eloquent talk, Chen Geng didn't mean to be excited at all.
If it weren't for Anthony Folk, he couldn't impress Chen Geng, but in fact, when he was engaged in MPC-75 in the last life, Chen Geng didn't know much about the Fokker F100, with high flight efficiency, good reliability, easy handling and fuel-saving advantages, the sales of this aircraft were quite good at the beginning.
It's just that Fokker Aircraft saw this market, Embraer, Canada's Bombardier, the two major regional aircraft giants are not fools, and are also vigorously entering this market, coupled with market changes and joint squeeze from Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus, in 1987, Fokker had to sell itself to German Aeronautics, and in 1996, because of its own serious losses, even the Germans gave up, and Fokker had to file for bankruptcy protection.
Chen Geng doesn't know exactly how many Fokker F100s were sold in the end, but he is sure that the final sales will definitely not exceed 300 units, which is far from Anthony Fokker's claim of "occupying one-third of the market share".
Looking at Chen Geng, whose expression did not change, Anthony Falk sighed secretly in his heart: Sure enough, a guy who has earned such a large amount of money at a young age is really not easy to fool.
He changed the topic and asked Chen Geng, "Mr. Fernandez, is there anything you want to know?"
"How much money do you need for this project?"
Anthony Falk really didn't think that Chen Geng would ask this question, and he couldn't help but be stunned, but he reacted quickly and immediately replied: "It's probably between 500 million and 800 million US dollars...... You know, now it's just an internal discussion of mitigation and hasn't gotten into the actuarial program yet......"
"I understand," Chen Geng nodded in understanding, and then Chen Geng also changed the topic: "Mr. Fokker, Sir Robbins must have told you that I have reached an agreement with the Huaxia government and can enter the Huaxia civil aviation market, right?"
"Yes, Sir and I have spoken about it. Anthony Falk nodded, indicating that he knew about it.
"In fact, I have reached much more than this with the Chinese government, in addition to the access permit for the civil aviation market, I have also obtained a license to manufacture civil aircraft, so ......" Looking at Anthony Fock, who looked at him with a surprised face, Chen Geng said: "Frankly, I can invest in your project, but I have a few requirements:
First of all, after the successful development of the new generation of F27 and F28, the intellectual property rights and ownership belong to both of us.
Secondly, since I am the investor of this project, and I have the ability to work in the industry, Fokker will hand over part of the production task to me, and of course, I also promise that the price will be lower than the price quoted by the Belgians and Germans under the premise of ensuring quality;
Thirdly, when my Huaxia factory has the ability to produce complete machines, Fokker must authorize me to produce complete machines;
Fourth, the Chinese civil aviation market is monopolized by me, and Fokker Group ......"
Although Chen Geng's words were not finished, the directors and executives of Fokker Group were stunned.
Before that, they came to receive Chen Geng with the mentality of "The fat pig is here, brothers, slaughter the fat pig, and there is meat to eat during the New Year!", but they didn't expect that the fat pig in their eyes would have the same idea.
The pig was not slaughtered, but the pig in his eyes wanted to slaughter himself fiercely, and the anger on Anthony Folk's face was as if his ancestral grave had been dug up by Chen Geng, and he interrupted Chen Geng's words very ungracefully without waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking: "This is impossible! Mr. Fernandez, it is absolutely impossible for us to agree to such conditions!"
"That's ......"
Chen Geng seemed to have anticipated Anthony Folk's reaction, he shrugged his shoulders and nodded again: "It's okay, I have a good relationship with Mr. MacDonald Jr., maybe I can suggest that he upgrade the electronic system of the DC-9, based on the existing body structure of the DC-9, and launch a new DC-9 without changing the shape or only fine-tuning." ”
Hearing Chen Geng's words, not only Anthony Fokk, but also the faces of the directors and senior officials of the entire Fokker Group changed.
McDonnell Douglas' DC-9 aircraft is a 90-seat 135-seater, range between 2300 km and 3000 km aircraft, in the era of the birth of DC-9, this is a proper mainline aircraft, but with the development of the economy and the acceleration of the process of globalization, DC-9 capacity has been unable to meet the needs of the market, McDonnell Douglas has launched a super version of the DC-9: MD-80 series, the carrying capacity of a sentence to 150 seats.
But this does not mean that DC-9 has completely lost the market, on the contrary, if McDonnell Douglas really listened to Chen Geng's suggestion, in the case of keeping the basic fuselage structure of DC-9 unchanged or only fine-tuning, by upgrading the electronic system, replacing with a new engine to improve fuel economy, and Fokker company's new generation of F28 to grab the market, Fokker company really can't grab McDonnell Douglas.
That's McDonnell Douglas!
When it comes to R&D strength and technical capabilities, it is many times stronger than Fokker Group.
Not to mention that nearly 1,000 DC-9 aircraft have been produced, and the R&D cost has already been evenly apportioned to almost nothing, for McDonnell Douglas, developing such an upgraded version of DC-9 to compete with Fokker for the market, there is no technical difficulty at all, and the cost will not increase much.
As for the price, Anthony Fogk is very sure that as long as McDonnell Douglas really does what Mr. Fernandez Chen said, the price of their new DC-9 will be lower than its own new generation F28, and it is much lower.
That's embarrassing.
Anthony Fock's face was blue and red for a while, what does it mean to pretend that X is not the opposite?
But one thing is certain, that is, McDonnell Douglas must not be allowed to do this, once McDonnell Dalwells really intends to make such a model on the basis of DC-9 to compete with the new generation of Fokker F28, Fokker Group is still a fart?!
Anthony Falk is also really bent and stretched, and after realizing that he underestimated Chen Geng's destructive power, he decisively made an adjustment: "Hehe...... Mr. Fernández, it was just a joke, but your conditions are really difficult for us, and we need to discuss it internally. ”
"I can understand that. Chen Geng nodded, and followed the trend to accept it.
Others don't know what the current McDonnell Douglas company is, don't they know it? In the eyes of uninformed people, McDonnell Douglas, which was merged by McDonald and Douglas, is simply a terrible behemoth, and is the leading boss of the world's civil aviation manufacturing industry, but Chen Geng's heart is like a mirror, and the current McDonnell Douglas's favorite thing to do is to pull each other's backs: whatever McDonald wants to do, Douglas must find a way to stir him up, and conversely, as long as it is what Douglas wants to do, McDonald never knows what politeness is. To put it simply, the current McDonnell Douglas Company is a seemingly powerful, but in fact incomparably weak, a typical silver-like wax tip.
