"You...... You ......"

Anthony Falk's lips trembled, and he didn't know whether it was anger or helplessness, or both, he didn't expect Chen Geng to have such an idea!

Chen Geng didn't speak, just looked at Anthony Fokker quietly, he believed that this guy would make a wise choice, who made him the chairman of Falkland-United Aviation Technologies.

Sure enough, as Chen Geng expected, after the initial anger, Anthony Falk controlled his emotions as quickly as possible...... It's just that he subconsciously pursed his lips, showing that his heart is not as calm as he appears...... said to Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, your suggestion ......?"

"What? Do you think there's a problem?" Chen Geng unceremoniously interrupted Anthony Fokker and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the current F70 project and the workers and management team who eat around this project are not the biggest source of loss for Fokker?"

“......”

Anthony Falk was speechless.

Because it is indeed as Chen Geng said, in fact, before the F70 project, Fokker Company's situation was still relatively good, there was a small profit of tens of millions of dollars every year, and the asset-liability ratio was only more than 30%, but after the F70 project was launched, not only did it take loans from banks many times, but now it has fallen to the extent that banks not only refuse to lend to Fokker Company, but also begin to force Fokker Company to repay the loan in advance!

The fundamental reason for this is that Fokker has lost too much money on the F70 project, although the F70 is produced on the same line as the F100, and the research and development funds of the whole project are not very much, but it is still necessary to order a batch of special tooling fixtures, testing equipment and other equipment, and in order to produce F70, Fokker has recruited a large number of skilled workers.

If the F70 could sell as well as it had initially hoped, the project would undoubtedly be a new profit growth point for the group, but the F70 did not go as the group had envisioned at the beginning, and the project immediately became a burden for the group – and even affected the sales of Fokker's new generation of 50-seat propeller-powered regional airliners, the F50.

But having said that, the F70 is one of Fokker's only two jetliners, so how can it be so easy to give up? He took a breath and said, "Although you are right, the F70 project has indeed put a lot of pressure on us, but this is not a reason for us to give up on the F70 so much......

"No, I remember when Massim Felhagen proposed the F70 project, you actually didn't agree with it," Anthony Fock just finished speaking, Chen Geng looked at him suspiciously, and said: "But why did you come to this point, you think the F70 is the same as your life?"

Anthony Falk: "......"

How do you ask me to take this?

However, Chen Geng, he didn't have the heart to continue to convince Anthony Falk, his finger tapped twice on the table, and then said: "Anthony, I have already told you the way, as for whether you adopt this suggestion, it is your business, so ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Geng stood up: "How to choose, whether to choose a strong man to break his wrist, or continue to let the F70 project still lie on Fokker and suck blood, it's up to you to decide." ”

After speaking, Chen Geng patted his ass and left: Is it really so worthless to be Lao Tzu's time?

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

Although Anthony Falk was emotionally unacceptable to Chen Geng's suggestion, as the chairman of the company, he must also tell the directors and executives the results of this communication with Chen Geng.

After the briefing, Anthony Falk said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, this is the result of my communication with Mr. Fernández, what do you think?"

After speaking, his eyes first fell on the face of Vice President Massim Ferhagen - the F70 project was promoted by you, Massim Ferhagen, let's talk about it, what is your attitude towards Chen Geng's suggestion of "redesigning and optimizing the F70, and handing over the F70 to Huaxia COMAC Group after the F70 has regained the type license and type certificate"?

Massim Felhagen took a deep breath. He knows that others can not express their position, but he can't, who let the F70 project be promoted by him in the first place?

"Let me tell you my opinion first," Massim Felhagen said slowly, after a little bit of thinking: "In terms of short-term benefits, I admit that Mr. Fernandez Chen's proposal can indeed greatly alleviate the difficulties we encountered, but it can lay off so many employees at once...... According to Mr. Fernández Chen, almost 4,000 employees will be laid off...... I'm afraid it will cause a lot of shock, maybe even the royal family will pay attention to it, and the public opinion brought about by this will ......"

Speaking of this, Massim Felhagen shook his head: "If we don't handle it well, it will be a huge blow to our company's reputation, and also, what will our customers, those airlines, think of our actions, will they think that our financial situation is worse than they thought?"

If that's the case, will the airlines that have already signed orders with us cancel their orders because of concerns about the long-term viability of our company?

If this happens, then our losses are even greater. ”

"Buzz ......"

As soon as Massim Felhagen's words fell, everyone in the conference room began to whisper to each other.

Yes, Massim Verhagen is right, this is not to lay off dozens or one or two hundred employees, if you really do what Chen Geng said, you need to lay off 4,000 employees at once, since World War II in so many years, it seems that the whole Netherlands has not appeared such a large-scale financial resources, once Fokker really does this, this matter will inevitably cause a sensation in the whole Netherlands, and then attract the attention of the whole Europe!

Leaving aside the attitude of the Dutch government and the Dutch royal family towards this matter, the media throughout Europe will inevitably pay close attention to this matter, and the next situation is really like what Massim Verhagen said, the major airlines have canceled orders out of concern for the viability of Fokker - for Fokker now, which is in deep financial crisis, there is no worse situation.

The directors and executives who were originally very moved by Chen Geng's suggestion after Anthony Fokker introduced Chen Geng's method couldn't help but hesitate in their hearts at this moment: Yes, Fernández Chen's method is certainly good, but the risk is too great, in case the major airlines cancel orders on a large scale, the situation facing Fokker will be ten times more tense than now!

In this matter, we still have to be cautious and cautious.

But it is not that no one is opposed to Massim Felhagen, such as Fred Defen, as the senior vice president of government affairs at Fokker, who was originally opposed to the launch of the F70 project, and now he is not happy to hear that Marchim Felhagen is still using this ambiguous attitude to find excuses and reasons for the continued existence of the F70 project......

"I'm against it!"

As soon as Massim Felhagen's words fell, Fred Defen immediately said: "I do not agree with Mr. Felhagen's statement, I think Mr. Felhagen has just said that he has exaggerated the impact of the layoffs on us, and at the same time, deliberately ignores some things that we may get." ”

"Oh......"

As soon as Fred Defen's words fell, Director Patrick Berting immediately picked up and said, "Mr. Defen, can you elaborate a little more?"

"Okay," Fred Defen nodded, "First of all, do we lay off employees? And how many layoffs are based on the interests of us and more employees, maybe in Mr. Felhagen's view, the layoff of 4,000 people at once will bring us a lot of public pressure, but gentlemen, one thing we must be clear is: if we continue to let the current situation continue, it is no longer a question of laying off 4,000 employees, but the survival of more than 20,000 Fokker Group employees, including us in this conference room."

Looking at Massim Ferhagen, Fred Defen said word by word: "Mr. Ferhagen, if you don't lay off these 4,000 people, can you guarantee that the company's situation will improve? I don't even ask for immediate results from your measures, but at least, give us a way that looks practical." ”

"This ...... There's always a way......"

Massim Felhagen opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment - what could he do? If he had a way, he would have proposed it a long time ago.

Fred Defen didn't expect Massim Felhagen to give him an explanation, and before Massim Felhagen could finish speaking, he nodded: "Everyone has seen that, obviously, our Mr. Felhagen doesn't have a good, at least seeming, solution.

Since Mr. Ferhagen did not have a good solution, Mr. Fernández's proposal has been the best we know so far, at least so far.

As for the issue of layoffs, although it will cause a lot of public opinion, we don't have to deny this, but we don't just lay off employees, even if they are layoffs, we can also establish the image of a responsible company, for example, after delineating the scope of layoffs, we first classify employees according to their professional skills, and then cooperate with the government's statistical department to recommend some employees to other units...... It must be understood that although we need to lay off employees, there are still many Dutch companies that need skilled workers, and I initially estimate that we can recommend at least 1,000 to 1,500 people;

As for the remaining employees, in addition to giving them corresponding compensation, we can also cooperate with relevant vocational skills training institutions to provide them with corresponding vocational training opportunities, as long as they have the corresponding skills, it is not difficult to find a new job.

So my attitude is that although we have to lay off staff because of our own difficulties, if we do our best in the process to do what we should do, and even if we don't need to do what we need to do, who can accuse us of anything? Even in the face of Her Majesty, we can straighten our backs with a clear conscience. ”

Well......

Fred Defendi's words have made many executives and directors feel bright: yes, although it is indeed a big problem to lay off 4,000 employees all at once, as long as we do not lay off things, but help these employees find new jobs and train them in new professional skills, who can blame us?

After all, the poor state of the group is a reality, and the layoffs are to ensure the survival of the business, and while the layoffs are being made, we are doing everything we can to do as much as we can......

In a word: what else do we do?!

————————————

PS: Brothers, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I said that I would be better today for 2 more, but I was delayed because of some things, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I owe you 4000 words in the past two days, let's go back and make up for it.

Fred Defen didn't expect Massim Felhagen to give him an explanation, and before Massim Felhagen could finish speaking, he nodded: "Everyone has seen that, obviously, our Mr. Felhagen doesn't have a good, at least seeming, solution.
