In Chen Geng's manor, Jack Schwarzer, CEO of the Dutch Falkland-United Aviation Technology Company, lowered his head and said to Chen Geng with a look of shame: "Mr. Fernandez, your original suggestion was right, we really shouldn't have started the F70 project, but now, please save Fokker." ”

The Gulf War is over, and Chen Geng has returned to the United States two months ago.

For Chen Geng, these two months have been very comfortable, and this comfortable day has lasted to this day, when Jack Schwarzer came to him for help on behalf of the Dutch Falkland-United Aviation Technology Company, Chen Geng knew that his leisurely days were over again.

"Then how do you want me to save you?" Chen Geng sighed and said to Jack Schwarzer: "At the beginning, you wanted to make a reduced fuselage F70 on the basis of the F100, I told you that you can't do this, now the world's regional aircraft have overcapacity, the competition will be very fierce, you don't listen, insist on launching the F70, the result? Since the F70 officially started to be sold, how many have you sold?"

Chen Geng's words made Jack Schwarzer more and more ashamed.

After the F100 was officially put on sale, relying on high flight efficiency and reliability, as well as good fuel economy and easy handling characteristics, it really attracted many new and old customers, even if it does not count the part of the F100 passenger aircraft produced by COMAC in China in the form of a license, F100 has also achieved very good sales results in the world, in just three years, F100 has received more than 120 orders, for Falkland-United Aviation Technology such a medium-sized aviation manufacturing enterprise, this performance can only be used"Brilliant" is the word to describe it.

Spurred on by this brilliant achievement, the leadership of the Fokker Group collectively decided to produce a large 70-seat regional airliner: the F70, based on the F100 airliner, by shortening the fuselage, using lower-thrust engines, and sharing avionics with the F100.

Although Chen Geng is not a shareholder of Fokker Aircraft, in view of the good cooperative relationship between everyone, Chen Geng suggested that Fokker Group should not do this, because there are too many regional aircraft manufacturers around the world, from Canada's Bombardier to Brazil's Embraer, to Europe's ATR, and even Indonesia, an Asian country, is producing regional aircraft. Small improvements are enough, but if you can't do it, you can help yourself develop the F150.

But the leadership of the Falkland-United Aviation Technologies company seems to be carried away by the success of the F100, for Chen Geng's advice, they resolutely did not listen, insisted on the F70 project, the result is that in the face of fierce competition, the F70 with turbofan engines in terms of production costs and operating costs can not be compared with other competitors with turboprop engines, a full three years, Fokker Group only sold a pitiful 12 F70, it can be said that Fokker Group lost a lot of money on the F70 project。

What's even more tragic is that F100 is also facing the squeeze of Airbus, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, and the result is not a single line, not only in the F70 project, but also in a number of intended customers to cancel orders, there have been many difficulties in operation, and this year, the capital chain of the Fokker Group has problems.

In this case, even if there was a slap in the face, the Fokker aircraft still had to be cheeky and ask Chen Geng for help.

"I know we weren't rational and calm when we made the decision to develop the F70," says Jack Schwarzer with a look of shame, "but we are aware of the mistake and are ready to correct it." ”

"Oh?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows: "How are you going to correct it?"

"First of all, we're going to cut the F70 production line......"

Chen Geng suddenly interrupted Jack Schwarzer's words and asked, "What are you going to do with the customers who have placed orders for F70s for you?" What are you going to do with the F70s that have already been sold?"

The 12 F70s that have been sold are a headache, continue to produce, there are no orders, and if they can't reach a certain scale of production, the cost of a single machine will remain high, and there is no competitive advantage compared with similar products on the market, so it can be discontinued, and it will continue to provide follow-up services for the 12 F70s that have been sold, and this expense is not small......

"We did think about it," says Jack Schwarzer, "and for those customers who have already paid a deposit, we will persuade them to convert that deposit into an F100 deposit, and if they don't agree, we will return the money to them."

For the 12 F70s that have been sold, our initial idea is to take back the aircraft from the customer in a 1:1 replacement, give them a brand new F100, and then destroy the recovered F70s in a centralized manner. ”

"Destroy all recovered F70s in one place?"

Chen Geng couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard it.

"Not all of them are destroyed, and the parts that can be recycled, we will also recycle them after dismantling, for example, the avionics system on the F70 is actually common to the F100, and in terms of engines, we can also put it into the field ......of second-hand aviation parts for circulation," said Jack Schwarzer: "There will definitely be some losses, but basically they can be controlled within 10 million dollars." ”

Speaking of this, Jack Schwarzer's face twitched twice: $10 million.

"That's right......" Chen Geng pondered for a moment, but still did not let go, but asked Jack Schwarzer: "It's not right, your Fokker aircraft is one of the most important industrial enterprises in the Netherlands, and the Dutch government has always been vigorously supporting and supporting you, for your difficulties, didn't the Dutch government provide you with some help?"

Fokker aircraft, like Philips, is the Dutch signboard enterprise, in the words of ten or twenty years later, that is the business card of the Netherlands, such an important enterprise has encountered difficulties, will the Dutch government not help?

Chen Geng felt that this made some sense.

"The government promised to provide us with a loan to help us get through this difficult time," Jack Schwarzer said honestly, "but the government asked us to find a strategic partner......

I see!

Chen Geng finally understood the purpose of Jack Schwarzer's coming to him: Fokker aircraft, or the Dutch government, had targeted his COMAC.

"How do you want to cooperate?" Chen Geng asked Jack Schwarzer, "You don't want a simple capital injection, do you?"

Jack Schwarzer glanced at Chen Geng, hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth and said: "We hope to be able to take a stake in your COMAC Group, if you allow Fokker Aircraft to take a stake in your COMAC Group......"

Chen Geng didn't say a word, and refused without hesitation: "This is impossible!"

Investing in COMAC?

Are you kidding!

Under Chen Geng's painstaking management, although the annual output value of the current COMAC Group is not large, it has initially formed a closed-loop industrial chain of COMAC Group, and the future prospects are more than brilliant can be described.

I really want to blind their hearts.

Jack Schwarzer was stunned for a moment.

Jack Schwarzer, or the management of Falkland-United Aviation Technologies, thought that Chen Geng would refuse, but they definitely did not expect Chen Geng to refuse so simply.

Jack Schwarzer, who was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but say: "Mr. Fernandez, you may be able to listen to our conditions......"

"Mr. Schwarzer, you haven't figured out a problem," Chen Geng sighed and said: "The current situation of COMAC Group is very good, the orders held in our hands have even been lined up for five years, we don't withdraw money at all, and now it is not my COMAC but your Fokker Aircraft that needs help, in this case, you tell me that your Fokker Aircraft wants to invest in my COMAC ......"

Pointing to his nose, Chen Geng asked Jack Schwarzer rhetorically: "Why do you think I will allow you to take a stake in my COMAC?"

Speaking of which, when the F100 was introduced from Fokker Aircraft, Chen Geng asked Fokker to use F100 as the basis, by lengthening the fuselage and replacing the engine with a larger thrust, to help COMAC design a 150-seat model, that is, F150, if it can get F150, COMAC will also have products to compete with real trunk aircraft: Airbus A320, Boeing 737 and McDonnell Douglas MD-80 - In the typical two-stage seating layout, the number of seats in these three aircraft fluctuates around 160.

It's just that all along, the Fokker aircraft has always found all kinds of excuses and reasons to shirk, and now it's a U-turn and look at it, hehe......

The mind of the Fokker aircraft is simply not too mean.

Jack Schwarzer just wanted to say, "Yes, we can help you design the F150, unless you don't want the F150, you can only accept our conditions", but before his words came out, Chen Geng continued: "But I'm sorry, I don't need it now, in the past two years, the cooperation between COMAC and Soviet aviation enterprises has been good, I plan to learn from the way you designed the F70, fully adopt the avionics system of the F100, and then import the diagram from the Tupolev Design Bureau— The technology and production process of the fuselage of the 154M, and then the wings, vertical tail and tail of the F100 were amplified to 'cobble' together a 150-seat airliner, Mr. Schwarzer, what do you think?"

“......”

Jack Schwarzer froze: What else can you do?

But his knowledge of aviation told him that he could really do this.

He knew that COMAC had a good cooperative relationship with a number of aviation companies in the Soviet Union, and he would not lie in this matter, and since Fokker could make an F70 by sharing the avionics system with the F100, using a low-thrust engine, and shortening the fuselage, then COMAC could naturally also make a "Falklev" F150 by using the fuselage of the Tu-154M and the F100 avionics system. Even if there are some problems in the process of integrating various systems, COMAC has money anyway, as long as Fernand Desken pays for it, with the ability of the Tupolev Design Bureau, it will definitely be able to help COMAC get it.

But what should I do next?

Now that COMAC could already obtain the manufacturing technology and process of large-diameter fuselage from the Soviet Union, the cards in Fokker's hand were gone.

Just when Jack Schwarzer was thinking about how to deal with it next, Chen Geng had already stood up: "Mr. Schwarzer, I found out that you didn't come to ask me for help this time, you came to threaten me...... I'm upset!

Of course, as the CEO of Fokker Aircraft, you can't refuse the decision of the board of directors, and I understand that, so out of friendship with friends, you can continue to live here. ”

After speaking, ignoring the stunned Jack Schwarzer, Chen Gengshi Shi ran left, he didn't even get angry, he just felt a little funny: Dutchman's head, this was kicked by a donkey, right?

If it weren't for the fact that his brain was kicked by a donkey, Chen Geng really couldn't understand how the management of Fokker Aircraft could make such a stupid move: It's not my COMAC that is about to be overwhelmed, but your Falkland-United Aviation Technologies Company, okay?
