"Sir, the investigation report you asked for is out. Leilani Taylor respectfully handed a document to Chen Geng and said softly.

Chen Geng took the report but did not open it immediately, but asked Leilani Taylor: "What do you say? Why did Aerolas Argentinas and TAP decide to purchase the MD-11 instead of purchasing the Boeing 767?"

This investigation report is an investigation into why Aerolíneas Argentinas and TAP Portugal decided to abandon McDonnell Douglas' MD-11 in favor of Boeing 767.

To be precise, Aerolíneas Argentinas and TAP Portugal have not signed a contract with Boeing to purchase Boeing 767 airliners, nor have they informed McDonnell Douglas of their decision not to purchase the MD-11 in the form of an official notice, which is very easy to understand, after all, for Aerolíneas Argentinas and TAP Portugal, although McDonnell Douglas is now "in the middle of the road", it is not something they can provoke.

Since they can't afford to provoke, and now Boeing seems to be a little more powerful, it is naturally no problem to get closer to Boeing for the time being, but McDonnell Douglas is not so easy to offend, so they don't dare to make it clear now that they don't take McDonnell Douglas seriously.

"Boeing's Boeing 767 for Aerolas Argentinas and TAP Portugal is 5 percent lower than the price of the same model, and Boeing has also promised to reduce the price in the future after-sales area, and Boeing seems to have spent a lot of money on public relations," said Leilani Taylor. ”

PR funding is a nice way to put it, but to put it more bluntly, it is to channel a lot of benefits to the executives and even some shareholders of the two airlines, and in this way pry open the mouths of the two airlines.

Chen Geng nodded: "In this way, there is not much time left for McDonnell Douglas......

It's understandable that 5% doesn't sound like a lot, but for a large aircraft priced at $100 million, this discount is definitely not small, not to mention that there are discounts in terms of after-sales.

This is also the reason why Chen Geng specially asked the "investigation company" to do this: it is one thing to guess, but it is another thing to prove his guess.

"Yes," replied Raylani Taylor, "if nothing else, Aerolíneas Argentinas and TAP Portugal will formally sign contracts with Boeing within six months." ”

In other words, there is only half a year left for McDonnell Douglas?

Chen Geng thought for a moment and instructed Leilani Taylor: "Send this investigation report to Mr. McDonald Jr. ”

It's McDonnell's business, and although he has to help him, McDonald Jr. has to sit in front of the house.

"Okay," replied Layani Taylor, and then reported the second thing, "and Mr. Malcolm Hughes wants to talk to you. ”

Listening to Laylani Taylor's words, Chen Geng chuckled: Lockheed is finally a little unbearable.

Also!

If it weren't for Chen Geng's previous words, Macolm Hughes was really ready to shut down Lockheed's civil airliner business: McDonnell Douglas couldn't afford it anyway, and Boeing refused to buy it, but when he heard Chen Geng say that there was a way to package and sell Lockheed's civil aircraft business to Boeing, Lockheed, who had completely given up on the civil aircraft business and was ready to let the civil aircraft business fend for itself, suddenly had some special ideas.

It's just that Lockheed hasn't put himself in the right position before this, and he thinks that Lao Tzu is so bullish, so you should come to me Chen Geng.

Of course, Chen Geng will not be accustomed to Lockheed's stinky problems: really be Lao Tzu's rare bit of your stinky money?!

This matter dragged on like this, and it dragged on for more than half a year.

But until now, Lockheed can't afford to drag it out: for most of the past six months, the salary expenses of the civil aircraft business alone are a lot of money.

Chen Geng didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Let him wait again, and I'll talk about it when I go back." ”

"Okay. ”

Leilani Taylor immediately responded, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her boss's decision, what if you were Lockheed?

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

Chen Geng was originally going to wait for a while, waiting for the inspection team of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, but he underestimated the efficiency of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, or in other words, the model of gas turbine cooperative development engaged in by COMAC Group made the Ministry of Aviation Industry have other ideas. Compressor companies, if they do it, wouldn't we have to spend a lot of foreign exchange to import technology from abroad?

Just like at an internal meeting of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, a bigwig said: "What we do ourselves must be a little bit behind the Americans and the British in terms of advanced level, but it doesn't matter, we are in a hurry to use it when we wait, let them toss and toss first." ”

This kind of thing should not reach Chen Geng's ears, but since it can reach Chen Geng's ears, it itself shows that some people want to hear these words, and they also use this way to give themselves an explanation.

For this explanation, Chen Geng is quite satisfied.

Since the Ministry of Aviation Industry has temporarily changed its plan, there is naturally no need for Chen Geng to continue to stay in Huaxia: there is still a big mess of things waiting for him, and Malcolm Hughes is really in a hurry!

Malcolm Hughes is really in a hurry!

The real reason why he dragged this matter for more than half a year was that it was actually difficult to give up his money and wanted to find a way to dispose of the civil aircraft business by himself, but in the past six months, Lockheed tried all kinds of methods that could be tried, but there was no effect at all, and in the face of pressure from shareholders, Malcolm Hughes finally couldn't bear it.

So much so that when Chen Geng's plane arrived at the Detroit airport, he was surprised to find that Malcolm Hughes was already waiting for him at the airport.

Seeing Macolm Hughes, Laylani Taylor couldn't help but pout: she simply despised Lockheed's snobbery to the extreme.

For the eyes of his little assistant, Malcolm Hughes couldn't see it, and smiled and hugged Malcolm Hughes: "Mr. Hughes, it seems that you have made a decision?"

Chen didn't plan to save any face for Lockheed: You haven't saved face for me, why should Lao Tzu save face for you?

Malcolm Hughes blushed: "Mr. Fernandez, we ......"

"Mr. Hughes, let me put it bluntly," although it is at the airport, Boss Chen has always had a fire in his heart, and he is not ready to save a little face for Malcolm Hughes: "If Lockheed's civil aircraft business unit can be sold, I want 40% of the selling price." ”

40% of the price?!

Malcolm Hughes's eyes widened for a moment, and his first reaction was: This guy is crazy?!

It was at this time that Raylani Taylor said faintly: "I don't think anyone can do this except our boss, not even you Lockheed." ”

“......”

Malcolm Houston had a big red face!

He wanted to argue, but he couldn't say a word for a while, Leilani Taylor was right, at the moment, it seems that in addition to seeking cooperation with Fernández Chen, Lockheed really can't sell its own civil aircraft business, otherwise it wouldn't have been sold for so many years.

“40%...... Too much......"

Malcolm Hughes snorted for a long time, and finally said.

"That's something you need to think about," Chen Geng is ready to make friends with Lockheed, but since people don't plan to make friends with him, what else is there to say? Business is business: "Mr. Hughes, you might as well talk to you directly, in my opinion, Lockheed still has the last half a year, if you can't sell your civil aircraft business in the last half a year, this department will really be smashed in your own hands."

Of course, you can think I'm being alarmist," shrugged, Chen Geng said, "But I clearly tell you that in half a year, I won't take this business again." ”

“......”

Malcolm Hughes's brows furrowed suddenly, he wasn't sure if what Chen Geng said was true or if he was deliberately threatening himself: there would be no way to sell it after half a year? Is it really such an exaggeration?

But whether it is Chen Geng's 40% matter or not taking Lockheed's business after half a year, this is beyond Malcolm Hughes's authority, he pursed his lips vigorously, and said to Chen Geng in a deep voice: "Mr. Fernandez, your request is beyond my authority, so ......"

"I understand," Chen Geng nodded: "I said, I can wait for you for half a year." ”

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

As for Chen Geng's statement, McDonald Jr. was very curious: "In half a year, you really won't take over Lockheed's business? Are you scaring them?"

Chen Geng didn't answer directly, but asked with a smile, "What do you say?"

"You ...... guy"

McDonald Jr. shook his head, he wasn't sure if Chen Geng was scaring Malcolm Hughes or it was true, but since Chen Geng was unwilling to say it, he naturally couldn't continue to ask.

Chen Geng, on the other hand, was very curious about the affairs of Hanxiang Company: "I heard that Boeing has put pressure on Hanxiang Company?"

Little MacDonald nodded heavily, and when he talked about it, there was a sudden hatred in his eyes: "Those bastards of Boeing even used such a despicable trick." ”

Boeing's approach is actually not very despicable, but the three senators talked on the phone with some leaders of 4V in their personal capacity, and expressed "concern" about the practices of Hanxiang and McDonnell Douglas, and for the leaders of 4V who have no knees in front of their American fathers, the US senators are simply heavens, and now that Dad has spoken, they are simply scared and trembling, and they immediately informed Hanxiang Company, demanding that they must immediately, Immediately stop contact with McDonnell Douglas and clearly require Hanxiang not to cooperate with McDonnell Douglas.

"But you have to admit that this trick seems to work. ”

“......”

Little MacDonald sighed, and did not speak, but nodded heavily.

Although McDonnell Douglas also made a move later, in general, the senior management of 4V is now ready to hide far away for the cooperation between Hanxiang Company and McDonnell Doesnnell Group, with the idea that "Dad's eldest brother and second brother are fighting, we still don't want to move forward, maybe we will die".

And for McDonnell Douglas, it couldn't be worse.

"Although I shouldn't ask this question, but ......" Chen Geng asked McDonald Jr. curiously, "What are you going to do next?"

"Frankly, I don't know. ”

"I don't know?" Chen Geng was surprised.

"I really don't know," McDonald Jr. smiled bitterly, "Fernandez, I'll confess to you, I'm tired now, really tired." ”

————————————

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

Chen Geng didn't answer directly, but asked with a smile, "What do you say?"

"You ...... guy"

McDonald Jr. shook his head, he wasn't sure if Chen Geng was scaring Malcolm Hughes or it was true, but since Chen Geng was unwilling to say it, he naturally couldn't continue to ask.

Chen Geng, on the other hand, was very curious about the affairs of Hanxiang Company: "I heard that Boeing has put pressure on Hanxiang Company?"
