Chapter 1041: Rubbing Luck
Since Anthony Falk felt that this work could be continued, Chen Geng naturally had no problem, and he nodded: "OK, then you go and communicate with Welch...... How many aircraft do you think we can convert annually without affecting our production rhythm?"
"I haven't seen the details of the modification, I don't know how much the specific amount of work is, but in my experience, I don't think there should be much problem in refitting more than ten aircraft a year," Speaking of this, Anthony Falk hesitated: "If you can allow me to recruit more people, maybe ......"
"No," Chen Geng rejected his idea without waiting for Anthony Fock to finish: "There are not many DC-10s in the world that need to be modified, and these planes must be modified within 2 years." β
Chen Geng's meaning is clear: if a large number of people are recruited for this modification contract of McDonnell Douglas Group, what will happen to these people after two years?
"This ...... Boss, that's what I think," Anthony Falk pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "Since the news of you becoming a shareholder of the company spread, we have received more orders than usual during this period of time, and in two years, I think our market size should be able to expand a little, and then this part of the newly recruited manpower can just give them a transfer ......"
This idea is not bad, if the market share of Fokker can have a slow climb, now recruit a group of people, after two years of training, just when the market size expands to a certain extent, but Chen Geng is a little worried about the market development ability of Fokker company's people, and he does not hide his thoughts: "Anthony, your idea is right, but are you sure you can do what you said?"
Of course, Anthony Fokker could hear the suspicion in his boss's tone, but he couldn't get angry, because the achievements of Fokker's market development team in the past were indeed lackluster, and as for the question of why Fokker didn't ask Chen Geng for help when it encountered difficulties in market development...... Did the boss pay you people so that he could do the work himself?
But Anthony Fokker knows that the reason why his boss has not made any big moves since the acquisition of Fokker is not because he is satisfied with the ability of Fokker's current management team, but because he is still observing and considering where to start for the time being, in other words, there is not much time left for Fokker's current management team.
Gritting his teeth, Anthony Falk said: "Boss, we are confident, in addition, I am ready to make some adjustments to the company's existing marketing department and add some fresh blood." β
Anthony Falk still has face, Chen Geng groaned slightly, and agreed: "Since you have this confidence, then I'll give you a chance, let it go, I only look at the final result." β
Hearing Chen Geng's words, Anthony Fokker understood that this time the matter was done, his position would be stable, and he would still be the chairman and CEO of Fokker in the future, but if he messed up this matter, then don't say anything, and put his resignation report on the boss's desk with interest.
But despite this, Anthony Falk took a deep breath: "I won't let you down. β
Hanging up the phone, Anthony Falk thought for a while, and finally pressed the call button on the table: "Miss Annie, please come over Mr. Bart." β
..............................
The media and melon-eating people all over the world are wide-eyed and enthusiastically waiting for McDonnell Douglas to launch a lawsuit against Boeing, after all, Boeing is not doing this authentically, but to the disappointment of the melon-eating masses, although McDonnell Douglas did launch a lawsuit against Boeing, it doesn't look particularly concerned and angry.
For a while, the people who eat melons in Guangda were extremely disappointed, and countless guys who were not afraid of big things fanned the flames in the media: Little McDonald seems to be afraid of Boeing, he has been bullied by Boeing for so long and dare not resist, you deserve to be bullied by Boeing, if you are a real man, stand up and fight him, afraid of him!
It's just that in the face of all kinds of discord in the media, neither McDonald Jr. nor Jack Welch were unmoved, disappointing those who waited to see the excitement and those with bad intentions.
On the Lockheed side, as the investigation continued, Malcolm Hughes and others discovered that the All Nippon Airways incident that became the turning point of the L-1011 "Samsung" airliner did have Boeing.
It's conclusive!
After finding out about Boeing, Lockheed was almost excited: If it weren't for the damn Boeing, our civil aircraft business would not be so miserable, and Boeing is the mastermind behind the killing of our civil aircraft business!
"What's the use of talking about this now?" Chen Geng pouted and glanced at Malcolm Hughes: "Who made you do so excessively? The former prime minister was pulled into the water by you, tsk...... You're ruthless enough, too. β
Malcolm Hughes doesn't think there's anything wrong with Lockheed's original approach: business competition, what kind of good bird are you Fernandez who has never done commercial bribery?
However, he wisely did not discuss this matter with Chen Geng, but said: "To use an old saying in your Huaxia, that is, 'since you did the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for doing fifteen', what Boeing did back then, we Lockheed remembered, but we Lockheed is not easy to bully, everyone will see later." β
Chen Geng smiled.
He probably understands Lockheed's plan: Anyway, the L-1011 "Samsung" can't be saved, and what has already passed, we admit it! But Boeing, you have to be careful in the future, be careful when you walk at night at night, and if there is a little brick rain and something like that a day, that is also normal -- every commercial move of your Boeing in the future will be watched by us Lockheed with a magnifying glass, and you had better all your business practices be blameless, otherwise you will wait for our revenge.
But it's none of his business, Chen Geng is more curious about the purpose of Malcolm Hughes's visit today.
Malcolm Hughes didn't sell for too long, and after saying this, he opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Fernandez, we have thought about it, and we at Lockheed have officially joined the MD-12 project. β
βWhatοΌβ
Chen Geng's eyes widened: Didn't everyone discuss before putting a smoke bomb to fool Boeing into buying Lockheed's civil aircraft business? Why did it now officially join the MD-12 project?
"This is the decision of the directors," knowing why Chen Geng was so surprised, Malcolm Hughes explained: "In fact, you also know the previous attitude of the shareholders, which is nothing more than hoping to sell Lockheed's civil aircraft business without losing so much, but this incident has become a fuse......
"The most important thing is that your shareholders think the MD-12 is still a little bit competitive, right?"
"That's right," Malcolm Hughes did not deny this, nodded and said: "After careful analysis of the MD-12 project, the directors believe that there is still a considerable market for this kind of 'hubβhub' large intercontinental wide-body airliner, and the most important thing is that according to the information provided to us by McDonnell Douglas, the single-seat fuel consumption rate and single-seat profit margin of the MD-12 exceed that of the Boeing 747 and the two-seat version of the MD-11 and Boeing 767. β
Chen Geng didn't speak, waiting for Malcolm Hughes to continue, he believed that Malcolm Hughes must have something to say.
Malcolm Hughes did have something to say, and he continued, "But we have a request. β
"You say. β
"You have to take a stake in the project as well. β
"Huh?"
Chen Geng never expected Malcolm Hughes to make such a request, and he was a little stunned for a while: "Why?"
"Because of your good fortune," Macolm Hughes explains, "we have analyzed every project you invest in, and we are shocked to find that every project you invest in is profitable. β

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.
