Anthony Fokker and the senior officials of the Fokker aircraft exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes couldn't help but bring a little joy.

Although the Fokker F70 is a typical regional aircraft project that Fokker insists on doing, and where Fokker Aircraft decided to launch this project, when Fokker consulted Chen Geng, Chen Geng made it clear that he was not optimistic about the F70.

The development of the F70 project also seems to confirm Chen Geng's speculation: from the beginning of the project to the present, the F70 has completed its first flight as early as the beginning of last year, but both the airlines' interest in this aircraft and the number of orders held by Fokker have disappointed Fokker: so far, Fokker has only received orders for 12 F70s, and among these 12 orders, 7 are intended orders.

Although to some extent, the F70 can be seen as the F100 with a shortened fuselage, it is clear that the F70 project can already be defined as a failure.

But now, the situation suddenly took a turn for the better, and when Fokker itself began to hesitate to cut the F70, Chen Geng, who was very optimistic about the F70, was very optimistic about it. It even said that the F70 still has a promising future?

Vice President Massim Ferhagen asked Chen Geng even more impatiently: "Mr. Fernandez, do you really think the F70 still has a chance?"

None of the executives of Falkland-United Aviation Technologies, including Chairman Anthony Fock, felt that there was anything wrong with Massim Ferhagen being so excited, because everyone knew that the F70 project was favored and vigorously promoted by Massim Ferhagen, and it was he who worked hard to convince the senior management and board of directors of Fokker to make the F70 project officially launched.

There is no doubt that if the F70 project cannot quickly turn the situation around in the short term, the position of vice president of Massim Ferhagen will be suspended, in fact, because the F70 has not been able to open the situation for a long time, the situation that Massim Ferhagen is now in within the group is actually quite delicate.

But at this time, Cheng Yu, who was very optimistic about the F70 project at the beginning, suddenly changed his attitude, how could Massim Felhagen not seize this opportunity like a life-saving straw?

"Yes, the F70 still has a chance," Chen Geng nodded affirmatively, he knew the situation Massim Felhagen was in now, and he didn't go around in circles, repeating the words he had just repeated again: "Bombardier's CRJ-100 on Jet Power, Embraer on Jet Power's EMB-145, these are all models similar to Fokker F70."

But Mr. Felhagen, you must understand that even if the Fokker F70 is better performing, more fuel-efficient and less expensive than the Bombardier CRJ-100 and Embraer EMB-145, it does not mean that the F70 will be sold smoothly...... Whether a product can be recognized by the market and accepted by various airlines does not rely entirely on product strength. ”

Massim Felhagen certainly knows this truth, good products may not necessarily be sold, which is especially evident in the arms procurement of various governments, for example, in the selection of a new generation of pistols in the US military, the M9 is not the best performance, nor the cheapest, but why is it the M9 that is finally selected?

There are so many twists and turns!

"Yes, yes, I understand......"

Massim Felhagen nodded again and again, he wanted to ask Chen Geng what was there to help F70 open up the situation, but seeing that Chen Geng didn't seem to mean much, he immediately reacted: Maybe Mr. Fernández does have a way to solve the trouble encountered by F70, but he obviously can't tell himself this method at will.

Also!

Why, since my method can get you out of the quagmire, how much do you think my method is worth?

However, Massim Felhagen secretly made up his mind in his heart: when he returned, he must quietly visit Mr. Fernández and hear what conditions he had.

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

"Boss, Mr. Silva came to visit our group today, before leaving, he expressed his willingness to cooperate with our COMAC on behalf of Embraer, hoping to visit our COMAC in China, and if possible, I hope that the two companies can establish a good cooperative relationship. ”

That night, Rosemary briefed Chen Geng on Paulo Cesa Silva's visit to the United States.

Yes, the senior vice president of Embraer, Paul Cesa Silva, came to the United States, and in addition to visiting General Electric according to the scheduled itinerary, he also went around Robinson Helicopter Company in the company of Rosemary and Frank Robinson.

Rosemary said this situation, which made Chen Geng a little surprised: "Brazilians want to cooperate with us? Are you sure?"

Paul Cesa Silva and Embraer really want to cooperate with COMAC? Chen Geng's mood is actually quite complicated: buddies just want to pit Allison Power and Rolls-Royce, but now there is a feeling of "speculating in stocks and becoming shareholders"?

Rosemary couldn't understand Chen Geng's surprise, because Paulo Cesa Silva's request was taken for granted in her opinion, and she said strangely: "Boss, are there many companies like COMAC that can produce helicopters, fixed-wing propeller planes and fixed-wing jet mainline aircraft at the same time in this world?"

How many of these companies are willing to work with Brazilians?

In the case that we have shown good intentions, it is true that the Brazilians did not ask us to cooperate, and the brain was kicked by the donkey. ”

“......”

Chen Geng patted his head: Inherent concepts kill people!

Embraer, which is not the world's four largest aircraft manufacturers more than a decade later, and Embraer, which is in deep financial trouble and can only manufacture EMB-120, a propeller-powered regional airliner, is undoubtedly looking up to Chen Geng's COMAC: Fernandez Chen COMAC can produce 120-seat large jets!

More than a decade ago, 120 seats was the indicator of standard narrow-body trunk technology, and McDonnell Douglas's DC-9 was this number of passengers, although the aviation industry technology has continued to develop over the years, but 100 to 120 seats can still be regarded as the "entry-level" standard for mainline aircraft.

And what does Embraer have now?

Civil aircraft, there are 19-seat EMB-110 twin-engine propeller aircraft, agricultural aircraft "Ibonema", 30-seat EMB-120 twin-engine propeller aircraft;

Military aircraft, including the EMB-121 "Xingguhe", an ultralight transport aircraft with a maximum of 10 seats, and the turboprop-powered training aircraft EMB-312 "Tucano" (this "Tucano" is not the EMB-314 "Super Tucano").

Just a few products, there is no "heavyweight" product at all, even if it is the largest EMB-120 twin-engine propeller airliner, it is just an aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of only 11.5 tons, and the aircraft This thing, the maximum take-off weight can be equated with the technical content, the larger the maximum take-off weight of the aircraft, the higher the technical content.

Embraer, which can only manufacture small aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 11.5 tons, looks at the Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Group, which can manufacture the Fokker F100 with a maximum take-off weight of 45.81 tons, and its envious eyes and mood are the same as when a small company with annual sales of several million looks up to a large company with annual sales of hundreds of millions......

“...... Paulo Cesa Silva knew very well that we were using them, and wasn't he so willing to be used by us just to get on our train?" Rosemary continued, "So...... Boss, would you like to get the Brazilians in the car?"

“......”

After pondering for a while, Chen Geng finally spoke: "To get on the bus, you need to buy a ticket, and the Brazilians don't have enough money for the tickets now." ”

"OK, I see," Rosemary chuckled, "I'll tell Paulo Cesa Silva what you mean, and I'm sure the Brazilians themselves understand that they haven't paid enough for their tickets, and by the way, there's one more thing." ”

"Well, you say. ”

"Allison Power wants to talk to you," Rosemary said, "you know, their stock price has fallen a bit bit over the years. ”

"Let them stay where they are cool," Chen Geng refused without hesitation: "Now you remember to talk to me? It's too late! Why didn't you think to talk to me when you lost my face?"

"You're right," Rosemary sighed, "but now there's a ......."

"Oh?

"They looked for a Pentagon relationship, you know, Allison Power still has some weight on the Pentagon's side, who let the world sell so many 'air Hercules'. Rosemary is also a little helpless: a C-130 "Air Hercules" is 4 engines, from the first C-130 in 1954 to the present, the United States has produced and manufactured more than 1,700 C-130s, which requires 6,800 Allison T56 turboprop engines.

Considering that it is also necessary to purchase spare engines and engines damaged by the US military in previous foreign wars according to a certain proportion, it means that since the first C-130 entered service with the US Air Force, the US government has purchased no less than 8,000 T56 engines from Allison Power......

How much of a stake is there?

It's normal for Allison Power to find a Pentagon mission to help them match them at this time.

Chen Geng understood this truth, so he also sighed: "So this name must be given?"

"Gotta give!" Rosemary smacked her lips, "Who told us to eat on the Pentagon?"

What AMC sells to the U.S. government and the U.S. @ military is not just HMMWV military vehicles, but also the number of various commercial vehicles and special service vehicles purchased by the U.S. government and the Pentagon from AMC every year, so face must be given.
