That's a rejection.

In addition, for McDonald Jr., if Chen Geng is really willing to agree to this cooperation model of "you pay for it, I will contribute the technology, and we will share the research on the next generation of narrow-body trunk short- and medium-range aircraft", then it will ...... Then "it smells so good!"

Speaking of which, as the MD-80 and MD-90 have received fewer and fewer orders in recent years, McDonald Jr. has not failed to find the gap between the MD-80 and MD-90 and the competitors, but as he said, in the case of going all out to develop the MD-12 now, McDonnell Douglas cannot and does not have the ability to come up with another sum of money to develop 3+The new generation of short- and medium-range narrow-body trunk aircraft with 3-seat mode, but the problem is that McDonnell Douglas really can't afford to build a new generation of short- and medium-range narrow-body trunk aircraft.

He looked at Chen Geng, and was looking forward to how Chen Geng would answer him next.

"That's not necessary," Chen Geng smiled and said, "Mike, you know, we have developed an aircraft called Fokker F150 on the basis of the Fokker F120 and on the basis of the F120's technology and a lot of experience......"

F150？

Before Chen Geng's words were finished, little McDonald already knew what this guy wanted to say: Yes, F150, why did he forget this plane?

Different from the Fokker F100 and F120 that are similar to McDonnell Douglas MD-80 and MD-90 in terms of overall shape and structure, the F150 developed by Chen Geng's COMAC Group has completely gotten rid of the aerodynamic shape structure of "3+2 seats per row, tail crane engine, and high flat tail", and has become a wing crane engine, low flat tail and 3+ per row with Airbus A320 and Boeing 7373-seat layout, and most importantly, the maximum passenger capacity of this aircraft can reach 150 people in the case of all-economy class high-density seating layout, which is the passenger capacity of a typical short- and medium-haul narrow-body trunk airliner.

But these are not the point, Fernandez suddenly talked to himself about it, could it be......

"Our original design requirement was that the F150 could be extended to a maximum of 180 seats, Mike, are you McDonnell Douglas interested in introducing this aircraft?" Looking at McDonald Jr., Chen Geng said: "In this way, you can get a very competitive model without spending a penny." ”

“......”

Little McDonald didn't speak, he was completely confused: the world's two largest civil aircraft manufacturers...... Well, counting the Europeans Airbus, McDonnell Douglas, one of the big three, big three aircraft manufacturers, is now reduced to the point of importing technology from a small aircraft factory with no name?

How can this make Lao Tzu embarrassed?!

Regardless of the stunned little McDonald, Chen Geng continued: "We are friends, for the sake of friends, I can give you the lowest possible price for the introduction of technology, allow you to pay in installments, and even we can spread the cost of technology introduction into each plane, you can give me a certain amount of money for each plane you sell, how about it?"

Little MacDonald wanted to be stiff and stiff, but when the words came to his lips, he found that he couldn't be stiff no matter what.

No way, on the one hand, the actual sales of MD-80 and MD-90 are there, it is a record low, and the tail crane engine is hard to say, but the major airlines do not seem to like the 3+2 seat layout of the aircraft; If the deduction can be made after the plane is sold, McDonald Jr. is very depressed to find that he is indeed a little moved.

But there is a little bit of heart, a little bit of heart, the dignified aircraft manufacturing giant: MacDonald Douglas's shelf still has to be put up, little MacDonald laughed and shook his head: "Dude, don't be joking, this kind of joke is really not funny at all." ”

"Really?" Chen Geng didn't get angry at all, but asked with a smile: "Mike, the DC-9 sold by McDonnell Douglas in the early years has now begun to be retired by those airlines one after another, right?" But did those airlines that retired DC-9 choose MD-80 and MD-90?"

"Uh......"

The smile on McDonald Jr.'s face came to an abrupt end.

For aircraft manufacturers, what they most want to see is: you use my previous generation of aircraft, when I update or you need to upgrade, you will choose my products.

However, for McDonnell Douglas, this situation has changed, as of 1982, McDonnell Douglas has sold a total of more than 900 DC-9 passenger aircraft, but those users who bought DC-9 passenger aircraft in the early days, such as Western Airlines, Delta Air Lines, etc., have begun to retire DC-9 one after another, but the subsequent orders for aircraft that need to fill the vacancy were not given to McDonnell Douglas, but to Boeing's 737.

This embarrassed McDonald Jr. and McDonnell Douglas, and to some extent, it could even be said that McDonnell Douglas's own customers were poached by Boeing.

McDonald Jr. couldn't help but think of what Chen Geng had just said, and couldn't help but think: If McDonnell Doesnnell Douglas introduced the F150 from COMAC, is it possible for McDonnell Douglas to let the F150 go up when those airlines eliminate the DC-9 in their hands again?

This answer is almost self-evident, when this question appeared in McDonald's mind, he was embarrassed to find that the reasons used by those airlines to prevaricate themselves were completely useless, and the only thing he needed to do was to get the authorization of the F150 and pass the FAA's airworthiness certification as soon as possible......

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he also understood why Fernandez was unwilling to sell the F150 directly in the United States, but to cooperate with him in this way: it was not that he Fernandez Chen did not want to take the F150 to the United States for sale, but it was impossible for the U.S. government to allow COMAC's aircraft to be sold in the United States. After making a lot of dollars and then taking it back to the United States, even if the F150 meets all the FAA test standards, and Boeing is secretly doing bad, it is absolutely impossible for him to get FAA certification - will Boeing be bad in the dark? This is simply certain!

But if you cooperate with McDonnell Douglas, it is a different matter: not to mention that they have already spent the funds for early research and development, and now they can sell it to themselves, it will be a net profit, let's just say that McDonnell Douglas has connections and relationships in the FAA, can he Fernandez Chen compare?

"I'll think about it. ”

After all, the face still can't resist McDonnell's current bad situation, and after figuring it all out, McDonald Jr. finally bowed his head.

"OK, I'm waiting for your good news. ”

Chen Geng was very satisfied with this result, and it was beyond Chen Geng's expectations that McDonald Jr. could give himself a clear answer so quickly.

"By the way, man, you're going to go to Huaxia, right? After you arrive in Huaxia, can you take some time to visit Huaxia Air China and China Eastern Airlines?" Speaking of this, McDonald Jr. was a little embarrassed.

What are you visiting China Eastern Airlines Group and Air China Group?

Of course, for the order of the 8 MD-11s, the purchase of MD-12 by Air China Group has been decided, and the deposit they paid will be in place within about this month, but the purchase of 4 MD-11s by China Eastern Airlines Group and Air China Group is still a will, and the two sides still need to talk slowly.

McDonald Jr.'s meaning is very clear, that is, he hopes that Chen Geng can use his influence at the top of Huaxia to promote this matter: this involves more than a billion dollars in revenue.

"Hehe......"

Chen Geng smiled, and did not immediately answer whether he would help him coordinate, but asked McDonald Jr. rhetorically: "Mike, this is an order of more than 100 million, if you don't let the Huaxia government earn some benefits, why should people give you this order? Airbus's A330 has completed the airworthiness certification work, calculate the time, the A330 will be delivered to the customer soon." ”

Little Macdonald's face was a little unpleasant.

But he doesn't know how to refute it, because in the world, high-value commodities such as airplanes have departed from their original commodity attributes and become a special carrier: for any country that wants to purchase Boeing and McDonnell Douglas aircraft, as long as you can't produce this aircraft, the U.S. government will put forward some special requirements nine times out of ten, for example, in terms of Huaxia, the U.S. government requires Huaxia not to use these aircraft for military purposes, not to disassemble engines without permission, avionics systems and other system components......

Naturally, it is impossible for Huaxia to spend that much money just to buy a batch of airplanes: how many taxes and how many jobs will Lao Tzu's orders create for you? There will also be a lot of demands.
