Little McDonald is a shrewd person, looking at Malcolm Hughes's expression that began to slow down, he knew that this guy had been a little shaken, and he immediately added to the fire: "Mr. Hughes, these orders of intent are all real, and the airlines that have signed these orders with us have also recognized these orders, but we all know that these orders will not be converted into actual orders, even in the face of the board of directors, you can fully explain the past." ”

That's the truth!

Malcolm Hughes also reluctantly found that in this situation, he seemed to have no other good way to get out except for taking risks and gambling, as for the fact that he was deceived...... Hey, is it still useful to say this?

Of course, this is not a reason to forgive the damned Fernandez and the damned McDonald Jr., but Malcolm Hughes has realized that although Chen Geng and McDonald Jr.'s plan is a risk, the probability of success is not only there, but it is not low.

If there is a possibility of success, this matter is not so depressing, so the question arises: should I report this matter to the board of directors?

The idea went around in Macomb Hughes's mind before he vetoed it.

The reason for this decision is purely a consideration of interests: if you report this matter to the board of directors and wait for what the outcome will be, you don't have to think about it: what do you think the outcome of a chairman who has caused more than $1 billion in direct and indirect losses to the company?

For yourself, the best thing to do is to pretend that you don't know about such a thing, continue to stay on this thief ship, and use Lockheed's energy and influence among governments to sell as many MD-12 aircraft as possible, so that this matter will pass without you knowing.

On the other hand, although Chen Geng and McDonald Jr.'s plan sounds like nonsense, at least we can see a little possibility, if you quantify it, at least twenty or thirty percent......

Aren't there already airlines that have fallen for it?

Not only unconsciously, Malcolm Hughes's face softened.

Looking at Malcolm Hughes, whose face softened, McDonald Jr. immediately continued his efforts: "Malcolm, I want you to promise that as long as we cooperate closely, MD-12 will definitely succeed, you know, those rich dogs in the Middle East are actually very easy to deceive." ”

Since Chen Geng and Little MacDonald have already moved the ladder for themselves, if they don't take this opportunity to go downhill, won't they continue to be here just now? Malcolm Hughes took a long breath: "Okay, for your honest...... sake"

He held out his hand and said reconciliation.

Little MacDonald was overjoyed, and he hurriedly reached out and placed his palm on Malcolm Hughes's hand.

Chen Geng chuckled lightly, put his hand up, and glanced at little MacDonald at the same time.

Malcolm Hughes is a little strange, Chen Geng didn't avoid himself when he glanced at McDonald Jr., what is the reason for this?

Malcolm Hughes didn't understand why Chen Geng did this, but little McDonald knew, and after receiving Chen Geng's signal, he smiled and said to Malcolm Hughes: "Malcolm, to tell you a good news, Huaxia's Air China Group and China Eastern Airlines Group have added orders for 4 MD-11s respectively, and these 8 aircraft will be used to carry out international flights." ”

"Really?"

Malcolm Hughes couldn't believe it: If he remembered correctly, it seems that the only real batch of orders for the MD-12 came from the China International Air Group? Now, after the Air China Group ordered the MD-12, it added an order for the MD-11? As for the order of China Eastern Airlines, Malcolm Hughes didn't pay much attention to it.

Speaking of this, little McDonald was happy, he immediately said: "Of course, we are now in preliminary contact with them, everything is going well now, their will is very strong, if there is no problem, the agreement can be signed within three months at the earliest," Speaking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Chen Geng, and said: "Of course, I can get this order, and I have to thank Fernandez." ”

Malcolm Hughes immediately understood, I'm afraid that the order for these 8 MD-11s was still brought by Chen Geng to McDonnell Douglas, but he didn't care about this, McDonnell Dough was able to increase his turnover by more than a billion yuan, which was a good thing, he nodded again and again: "Yes, this is indeed good news......

Although Huaxia Air China Group and China Eastern Airlines Group have added orders for MD-11, this is an order for a full 8 MD-11 aircraft, and these 8 MD-11 will bring more than 1000 million US dollars in turnover to McDonnell Dalwells Group, which is a major good news for the current McDonnell Douglas Group, and it is also a huge good news for Lockheed, which has just signed a contract with McDonnell Douglas.

Well......?!

Speaking of this, Malcolm Hughes was suddenly a little stunned, he found that his heart was not as angry as when he had just been deceived, what is this?

…………………………

Malcolm Hughes was gone, and Chen Geng and McDonald Jr. breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over. Little McDonald wiped a handful of sweat, this time he was really a little scared of Malcolm Hughes with this trick, but fortunately, it was over.

"Well," Chen Geng responded, but the topic changed and said to McDonald Jr.: "Mike, when I went to talk to the people of Huaxia Air Group a few days ago, they told me that they are also preparing to purchase a batch of short- and medium-range narrow-body trunk aircraft for domestic routes. ”

"Huh?" Little MacDonald was slightly stunned, and then rejoiced: "You mean, they are going to buy our MD-80 or MD-90? Great, Fernandez, for the sake of your friends, I can give them a discount......"

This is super good news, if a batch of MD-11 is sold after a batch of MD-90s, not more, even if there are only more than 10 aircraft, McDonnell Douglas will be much better this year.

Without waiting for McDonald Jr. to finish speaking, Chen Geng shook his head: "No, on the contrary, their target is a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320, from the beginning, they didn't think about MD-80 and MD-90." ”

"Why?"

Hearing Chen Geng say that Huaxia Air China Group had never considered McDonnell Douglas' MD-80 or MD-90 from the beginning, McDonnell Jr. was anxious: "Why don't they consider our products? Dude, you must think of a way to help me get this order, you know, this order is very important to me......

"Listen to me," Chen Geng stopped McDonald Jr. and signaled him not to worry: "Let's put it this way, one of the hard indicators of Air China's purchase of aircraft this time is that the cargo space should be large, and the cargo capacity of the aircraft should be strengthened, but the cargo space of the MD-80 and MD-90 ......."

Shrugging, Chen Geng didn't say anything more.

Chen Geng didn't say anything, but as the boss of McDonnell Douglas, McDonald Jr. immediately understood why McDonnell Douglas was eliminated: the maximum interior width of the cabin of the Boeing 737 is 3.54 meters, the maximum interior width of the cabin of the Airbus A320 is 3.7 meters, and what is the maximum width of the cabin of the MD-90?

Although the lower cargo compartment of narrow-body passenger aircraft is mainly used to carry bulk cargo, there are also standard pallets, although compared with Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 are only about half a meter narrower in terms of width, and there is still more than in terms of length, but it is indeed inferior to these two competitors in terms of overall competitiveness.

But little MacDonald is not so easy to admit, he muttered: "But our fuselage diameter is smaller, and the drag coefficient is smaller......"

Chen Geng didn't beep with him, and his face was red and white with a word: "Air China's procurement strategy has been determined, and it has been reported to the Huaxia Civil Aviation Administration and approved, anyway, I don't have the ability to get the Huaxia Civil Aviation Administration to take back the documents, and then add the MD-80 and MD-90 again, maybe Mike, you have such a big ability?"

“……”

McDonald Jr. was speechless: Your relationship with the Huaxia official is so good, and they all say that you don't have that much ability, can my relationship in Huaxia be deeper than yours?

"So?" asked McDonald Jr., sighing.

"Therefore, I think that in the field of short- and medium-range narrow-body trunk aircraft, McDonnell Douglas should no longer be with the 'traditional' of 3+2 and tail cranes, since McDonnell Douglas's competitors have proved that the layout of 3+3 and wing cranes is more popular with users, then McDonnell Dalwells should meet the needs of the market and develop aircraft with this layout. ”

Little MacDonald didn't speak immediately, he pursed his lips and was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about Chen Geng's words, and after a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Fernandez, man, you know, McDonnell Douglas can't come up with such a sum of money now." ”

The annual sales report has actually given McDonald Jr. a clear signal that in the field of short-range narrow-body mainline civil aircraft in the world, the MD-80 and MD-90 have become more and more unpopular in the market, they are indeed a good aircraft, but it is a 3+2 seat layout aircraft after all, that is to say, the MD-80, The fuselage diameter of MD-90 is smaller than that of Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, which are direct competitors, and limited by the fuselage diameter, some Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 can stack goods in the bottom cargo compartment, McDonnell Douglas -80 and MD-90 can not be stacked, and now the market is more welcome to 3+3 seat layout of short-range narrow-body trunk aircraft, that is, MD-80, MD-90 has begun to lag behind the times.

Chen Geng said with a smile: "Of course I know you now, but we can cooperate." ”

"Let's cooperate?" Little McDonald looked at Chen Geng with a shocked face when he heard this: "Dude, are you kidding?

After a brief pause, McDonald Jr. felt that he understood Chen Geng's thoughts, and suddenly said: "Oh, do you want to cooperate in the development of this project in the way of 'you pay for it, I will contribute the technology'? If so, then you can consider it." ”
