Chapter 958: Cooperation?

After kicking out the property manager of the building, Barron Hilton cautiously asked Chen Geng again: "Mr. Fernandez, can you ......?"

Not again!

Looking at Barron Hilton's appearance, Chen Geng was almost helpless: since the global stock market crash in 1987, in the just-concluded Gulf War, the Hilton family cooperated with Chen Geng again, and like in the stock market crash in 1987, this time, the Hilton family also followed Chen Geng and ate a mouthful of oil.

But then the problem also comes: originally after the stock market crash in 1987, Barron Hilton repeatedly asked Chen Geng to become the worship of the Hilton family, but after being repeatedly rejected by Chen Geng, Barron Hilton gradually died of this heart, but Chen Geng's performance in the Gulf War in 1991 made Barron Hilton regain his previous ideas.

"Once!"

Chen Geng couldn't stand being pestered by Barron Hilton, and when Barron Hilton mentioned this matter again, Chen Geng raised a finger: "Mr. Hilton, in the future, if your family encounters an insurmountable disaster, I can help you or your family once, but only once." ”

What does this mean...... The Hiltons have a chance to be redeemed in the future?!

Barron Hilton was instantly ecstatic, and nodded busily: "Okay, okay, one time is enough! Thank you very much, Mr. Fernandez, I'm so excited, so excited......"

A chance to be redeemed, in Barron Hilton's opinion, this opportunity is too precious, and for a business family like the Hilton family, having such a chance to be redeemed is basically equivalent to having a gold medal for avoiding death, and for Barron Hilton, it is enough to have such a gold medal for avoiding death.

…………………………

"What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into that kid at Hilton?" little McDonald looked at Chen Geng suspiciously.

"How?"

"I met that kid at Hilton two days ago," said McDonald Jr., "and the kid's mouth never closed much, and I could tell that this guy was really happy from the bottom of his heart, and my gut told me it had something to do with you." ”

Your intuition is really accurate, but what is going on, Chen Geng naturally can't tell Little McDonald, he said with a smile: "It's nothing, probably the address of the first Hilton hotel in the mainland of China was finalized so quickly, and he was in a better mood." ”

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, why did you suddenly start engaging in commercial real estate?" Little MacDonald couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked Chen Geng: "The difference between commercial real estate and high-tech is too big, right?"

"I just wanted to try diversification, but I didn't expect it to be successful," Chen Geng casually responded: "It's your trip to Rongcheng and Fengtian this time, how do you feel?"

"Yes, to be precise, it's very good, I didn't expect the situation of these two companies to be so good, and they have the potential to OEM fuselage components for McDonnell Douglas," Speaking of this inspection trip to Chengfei and Shen Fei, McDonald Jr.'s mouth almost smiled: "As long as this cooperation can be reached, the McDonnell Douglas 80 series aircraft produced by Shanghai will no longer have to transport parts from the United States and Europe in the future, which can save a lot of costs." ”

Chen Geng nodded and said to McDonald Jr.: "So, are you sure you want to cooperate with Huaxia's aviation companies?"

"Yes, we're going to have a price war with Boeing next!" Compared to before, McDonald Jr. at this moment looks quite high-spirited: "We want to use lower prices and better services to snatch the market back from the hands of damn Boeing!"

"Speaking of this question," Chen Geng looked at McDonald Jr. and said, "Mr. McDonald Jr., if you want to win this war with Boeing, you can't just rely on better products and lower prices, and with all due respect, McDonnell Douglas is indeed slightly inferior to Boeing in terms of product concept." ”

Little MacDonald frowned suddenly, as if he was a little unhappy with Chen Geng's words, but soon, he looked up at Chen Geng again: "What do you mean?"

"To the management of efficiency," Chen Geng did not say politely to McDonald Jr., and said bluntly: "Mr. McDonald Jr., with all due respect, McDonnell Douglas Group is now in the planning management, production management, procurement management, sales management, quality management, warehouse management, financial management, project management, human resource management, statistical management and information management and many other aspects of management, it is not too much to use the word 'mess' to describe it." ”

“……”

Looking at Chen Geng, little McDonald actually smiled bitterly: "I don't know what you said, but McDonnell Douglas now has a chance for peaceful development, and I can slowly adjust to these situations, but the problem is that you know what kind of situation McDonnell Douglas is facing now, and I can't do anything about what you said now, even if I want to do something, I can only wait until I defeat Boeing......"

"I don't agree with your idea," Chen Geng shook his head and said, "I think it's the best time to adjust and sort out McDonnell's interior." ”

"Huh, what do you say?"

"Because you are facing Boeing pressure from the outside," Chen Geng wondered why McDonald Jr. asked such a question: "Your adjustment of the company can be explained by 'only in this way can you better cope with Boeing's pressure'. Get more support, such as layoffs, I know McDonnell Douglas is bloated, there are a lot of employees that can actually be laid off, but for one reason or another, you have not made up your mind to lay off employees, but even if you can lay off 1,000 people, McDonnell Douglas can reduce a lot of burden, which is equivalent to an increase in the group's annual revenue by at least $15 million, you say?"

“……”

McDonald Jr. was stunned: Can it still be like this?

The next moment, little MacDonald reacted: yes, why can't this be?

McDonnell Douglas is facing an unprecedented situation, both internally and externally, but at the same time, as Fernandez Chan said, is it not an excellent opportunity to deal with the heavy corporate ills within McDonnell Douglas.

As Fernandez Chen put it, all of his own means can be explained by the fact that "only in this way can we better cope with the pressure from Boeing", and from this point of view, now seems to be the best opportunity to deal with McDonnell Douglas's internal problems.

It's no wonder why McDonald Jr. didn't think of using this opportunity to manage the internal problems of McDonnell Douglas Group, this is actually a problem of blind spots: in the past few years, in the face of Boeing's increasingly aggressive pressure, his mind has been occupied by "uniting all forces that can be united to fight Boeing's pressure", and he has never thought of using this opportunity to "fitness" McDonnell Douglas, so that McDonnell Douglas, a bloated and fat man, can "fitness" and "lose weight".

To put it simply, McDonald Jr.'s mind didn't turn around and thought from another angle: Ah, it turns out that this thing can still be done like this.

However, although McDonald Jr. has realized that he can take this opportunity to let McDonnell Douglas "fitness and lose weight", he didn't plan to "bow his head" to Chen Geng so easily, admitting that he had ignored this point before-otherwise where would his face go?—— but nodded: "This idea is good, I will consider it." ”

Looking at Little McDonald, who had different hearts, Chen Geng smiled secretly in his heart, and also took advantage of the situation to prepare the feast he had prepared a long time ago: "Mr. Little MacDonald, in addition to the consortium, have you ever considered that in fact, you can also reduce unnecessary expenses again by cooperating with our COMAC?"

Well?

Little MacDonald is certainly not stupid, not only is he not stupid, on the contrary, he is quite smart, and he immediately saw Chen Geng's "sinister intentions": it turns out that this guy is waiting for him here.

But he wasn't angry.

Although Chen Geng is calculating himself, so what? If the cooperation with COMAC can really help McDonnell Douglas, then why not?

Raised an eyebrow: "For example?"

"For example, the maintenance of McDonnell Douglas aircraft in Asia and some simple maintenance work will be handed over to COMAC," Chen Geng said, "As you know, COMAC has built the first Fokker F100 maintenance center in Asia, and has also passed the certification of the British Rolls-Royce Group, and obtained the maintenance qualification of some models of the 'Spey' series, 'tay' series and RB211 series in Asia." ”

McDonald Jr. knew that it was true, but this was not a reason for him to hand over the maintenance and simple maintenance of McDonnell Douglas aircraft in Asia to COMAC, he pondered for a moment and said, "For the sake of our friends, so ...... Why?"

"It's very simple," Chen Geng said, "This cooperation can make McDonnell Douglas more money." ”

"Oh?"

Hearing Chen Geng say this, little MacDonald couldn't help but sit up straight: "What do you say?"

Chen Geng did not answer directly, but first asked McDonald Jr.: "Mr. McDonald Jr., as far as I know, the number of McDonnell Douglas aircraft in Asia is less than 20% of the number of McDonnell Douglas aircraft in the world, this data is correct, right?"

"Almost, basically fine. Little Macdonald's face was a little unpleasant, and he was a little suspicious that Fernandez Chen was going to slap himself in the face? But since he knew Chen Geng when he said this, Little MacDonald couldn't help but give Chen Geng face.

"Okay," McDonald Jr. got the answer he wanted, and Chen Geng continued: "Although the number of McDonnell Douglas aircraft in Asia is less than 20% of McDonnell Douglas's total aircraft ownership in the world, in order to facilitate and serve customers in Asia, a maintenance center with aircraft overhaul capabilities is indispensable. ”

Isn't that nonsense!

Little McDonald didn't speak, he just rolled his eyes angrily.

Chen Geng didn't care about McDonald's eyes, and then said: "If the information I got is correct, McDonnell Douglas's maintenance center in Asia has always been operating at a loss, right?"

“……”

Little MacDonald's face was not very good-looking, but he did not deny it, apparently acquiescing.

It's no wonder that McDonald Jr.'s face is not good-looking, this is a continental-level maintenance center, for any aircraft manufacturing company, under normal circumstances, the profit from the after-sales market is much larger than the sale of aircraft, and it is normal to have more, but McDonnell Douglas Group's maintenance center in Asia is actually a loss, you say it is not a strange thing?

Chen Geng did not continue to stimulate McDonald Jr., he continued: "I don't mean to laugh at you, what I really want to say is that if this maintenance center is handed over to COMAC to operate, I guarantee that after two years, this maintenance center can create at least $10 million in benefits for McDonnell Douglas every year, and McDonnell Douglas can completely eliminate all the employees of this maintenance center." ”

Why is it two years later, because even if McDonnell Doesnnell Doesnnell Douglas immediately handed over this maintenance center to COMAC to operate, the staff of COMAC Group in this maintenance center must first go to McDonnell Dalwells Group for training, and only after passing the training can they take up their posts, and if you want to skillfully overhaul and maintain a large mainline aircraft, the training time required will not be too small.

Two years later, this repair center can generate at least $10 million in net income for McDonnell Douglas every year? Chen Geng's words made little McDonald suddenly taken aback, he couldn't hold it back anymore, and quickly asked, "Mr. Fernandez, you're not kidding?"

Chen Geng asked rhetorically: "Do you think I will play this kind of joke with you?"

“……”

With Chen Geng's words, the little MacDonald stopped talking, and their hearts were really excited: McDonnell Douglas has more than 300 employees in this Asian repair center.

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

Chen Geng did not continue to stimulate McDonald Jr., he continued: "I don't mean to laugh at you, what I really want to say is that if this maintenance center is handed over to COMAC to operate, I guarantee that after two years, this maintenance center can create at least $10 million in benefits for McDonnell Douglas every year, and McDonnell Douglas can completely eliminate all the employees of this maintenance center." ”
