After a moment of silence, Mike Espie spoke......

"I am the president of Cadillac, and I have to give the shareholders a satisfactory account. ”

"Very well," Thomas Murphy's mouth curled slightly, no matter what Mike Espie said, as long as he was willing to bow his head. After a brief pause, Thomas Murphy said: "Although we all want fair competition, it is understandable that sometimes some special means are taken in business competition......

……………………

Coincidental!

Almost at the same time, Chen Geng was also talking to Jack Welch about it......

"boss, ES is about to go public, I think you need to be careful?" Jack Welch reminded Chen Geng seriously.

"Careful?"

Chen Geng smiled, he waved his hand: "Do you think someone will hack me......?"

"No, boss, I don't doubt that anyone would dare to do anything to your personal safety," Jack Welch explained, "I mean if our ES continues to perform well in the LS market...... And that's simply a certainty...... I doubt that our competitors will make some off-the-market moves because they can't afford to lose. ”

That's right......

Chen Geng groaned.

Normally, this seems impossible, after all, AMC is now a supergiant with an annual output of 1.5 million vehicles of all kinds in the world, and has surpassed Chrysler to become the third largest automaker in the United States after General Motors and Ford Motors, and the gap between General Motors and Ford Motors is already very small.

But Jack Welch's words are not unreasonable, what about rabbits biting when they are in a hurry, dogs jumping over the wall when they are in a hurry, if Lexus pushes people into a hurry, you still don't allow people to do something excessive?

"What do you mean...... It's not unreasonable," Chen Geng pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slowly: "People can do anything when they are in a hurry, especially those who may lose their jobs because of this." ”

Jack Welch breathed a sigh of relief, he was really a little worried that Chen Geng would think that he would look down on his opponent too much because of his previous success, or to put it bluntly, he was arrogant and arrogant and did not take any threat into his eyes, but now, Jack Welch was relieved: the boss was very smart.

"I'm ready," Jack Welch explained, meeting the eyes of his boss, "the explosion of ES after the listing is certain and inevitable in my opinion, so maybe someone will lose their jobs because of the popularity of ES...... In order to avoid some people making bad decisions, it is always a good thing to be prepared......"

"There is no need to explain this," before Jack Welch finished speaking, Chen Geng smiled and waved his hand: "You are the general manager of Lexus, you think you need to do something...... Well, we Chinese have a saying called 'be prepared', and it is better to be ready now than to be busy when the time comes. ”

After saying this, without waiting for Jack Welch to speak, Chen Geng continued: "The matter of ES's listing will be handed over to you, and I need to go to Huaxia during this time." ”

Jack Welch understands in his heart that the reason why the boss went to China at this time is actually more to keep the stage for himself, in the eyes of the boss, I, Jack Welch, is the general manager of Lexus, as the second product of Lexus, the listing of ES naturally belongs to me.

While feeling grateful, Jack Welch was also a little curious: "Boss, you went to Huaxia this time...... How long are you going to stay?"

"It won't be too long, about half a month," Speaking of this, Chen Geng thought for a while, and then ordered: "Jack, help me prepare 5 ESs, I will take them with me to Huaxia this time." ”

Although I was very curious why Chen Geng went to Huaxia and brought five ESs that had not yet been officially announced, Jack Welch was good at this, and he never asked questions that the boss was unwilling to explain, so he agreed very simply.

………………………………

Sitting on Chen Geng's luxurious, McDonnell Douglas MD-82 modified private jet, looking at the space and luxury far beyond his own Dassault Falcon 50, he originally came to China with Chen Geng to see if Collins McKennie was really in China's Frank Robinson, and his heart was full of envy at the moment: Is this the life of a billionaire?

To be honest, Frank Robinson who can open his own aircraft manufacturing company is also a rich man, and he is worth tens of millions of dollars. Robinson learned a lesson: the ones he played before were not in the stream, and that's how the real super-rich played!

It's no wonder that Frank Robinson is fussing like an uninformed dirt bun, because the circles are different.

For example, multimillionaires like Frank Robinson, who are worth tens of millions of dollars, compared with millionaires who can only afford propeller private jets and light jets like Cessna Awards, which are worth millions of dollars, Frank Robinson, the "standard" of billionaires worth tens of millions of dollars are basically Dassault Falcon 50, Gulfstream II and other large jet jets that are extremely luxurious in the eyes of the world.

But the billionaires on the top, such as the famous RED capitalist Hamer, such as Chen Geng, Gulfstream, Dassault Falcon and other jets can no longer meet their needs, in order to be able to carry their huge work team when traveling, they directly use civil airliners as the basis to convert their own private jets, such as one of Hamer's private jets is a Boeing 727...... You read that right, it's the Boeing 727, not the 737, the basic structure of the 727 is similar to Lao Maozi's Tu-154M, all of which have three engines installed in the tail.

Although Frank Robinson tried his best to show "I'm not a dirt bun who hasn't seen the world" in front of Chen Geng, there are some behaviors that can't be hidden at all, and if you don't see it, you don't know it.

"Like this plane?"

Looking at Frank Robinson couldn't help but look around, Chen Geng asked.

"I like it so much," Frank Robinson did not hide his emotions, as a multimillionaire worth tens of millions of dollars, with not only a helicopter manufacturing company but also a large farm, Frank Robinson was not at a loss in front of Chen Geng. He nodded: "I used to hear people talk about what the life of billionaires is like, but today I have seen it...... Well, even the flight attendants on your plane are prettier than on my Falcon 50. ”

"No way, I have more passengers on my plane......"

Chen Geng shrugged his shoulders, and said in his heart Not only is the flight attendant on my plane more beautiful than you, but the bedrooms on my plane are bigger than those on your plane...... Does the Falcon 50 have a bedroom on it?

"Mr. Fernandez," Frank Robinson's expression suddenly became serious, "May I ask you a question?"

"You say. ”

"Is it really so profitable to invest in Huaxia?"

Chen Geng instantly understood in his heart that this McDonnell Douglas MD-82 stimulated Frank Robinson even more than he imagined.

He thought for a while and said: "Let's put it this way, now China is almost everywhere with gold mines, and you may be able to dig up gold with a shovel, but only the light helicopter you are engaged in now is probably difficult." ”

"Why?"

Hearing Chen Geng say this, Frank Robinson was a little unconvinced: "Our R22 is the best ultralight helicopter in the world today, compared with our competitors, R22 has huge advantages in procurement cost, use cost, reliability, fuel economy and many other aspects, why can't it be in China?

"Of course, the Huaxia people want to use helicopters, but Huaxia does not open the general aviation airspace below 3,000 meters. ”

Looking at the guy in front of him who hoped to go to Huaxia to open up the R22 market, Chen Geng felt a little sympathetic to him: This guy didn't even do basic market research?

"What?!" Frank Robinson was dumbfounded: "The Huaxia people did not open the airspace below 3000 meters?"

"Not only did the Chinese people not open up the air domain, they now don't even allow private ownership of manned aircraft of any kind. ”

"Are you kidding me?" said Frank Robinson.

"Is it funny for me to joke with you? This is something that you can verify when you get off the plane," Chen Geng pouted and said to Frank Robinson: "Huaxia has only now begun to discuss allowing private individuals to buy and own cars, that is to say, from a strict legal point of view, in Huaxia now, private ownership of cars is also illegal - even owning cars is illegal, do you think it is possible to allow private owners to own airplanes?"

“……”

Frank Robinson was completely stupid, and his expression was exactly the same as the cold water that had been poured on his head coldly.

After a long time, he asked Chen Geng suspiciously, "Mr. Fernandez, are you sure...... Not kidding me?"

Chen Geng shrugged: "Anyway, after our plane lands, there will be officials from the Huaxia government to greet us, if you don't believe it, ask the officials of the Huaxia government directly." ”

Hearing Chen Geng's words, the last bit of hope in Frank Robinson's heart also disappeared.

At this point, why didn't he understand that the idea of developing the private helicopter market in Huaxia that he planned at the beginning was completely ruined?

Looking at the depressed and depressed Frank Robinson, Chen Geng didn't speak, and patted the unlucky child on the shoulder sympathetically.
