Can the MD-12 be marketed as a private jet?

For this point, McDonald Jr. is not very sure, but in the current situation where there is no way, even if Chen Geng's method has the slightest possibility, he will not hesitate to grasp it. It's just that now there is a problem, which is......

"If you can sell the MD-12 to those big dogs in the Middle East, of course it's good," McDonald Jr. frowned and said to Chen Geng: "But the problem now is that we don't even have the money to build a prototype, and we don't even have a single intended customer, although those big dogs in the Middle East are a little stupid, but they are not stupid enough to do this, how can they sign a contract with us?"

Chen Geng smiled: "This is simple. ”

"Simple?"

Chen Geng said with a smile: "Since we have confirmed that we will definitely put the MD-12 into production, wouldn't it be okay to find a few customers to sign a contract of intent? Anyway, you don't really want them to buy it, you won't even have this face with those airlines, right?"

"Is that okay?!" MacDonald Jr.'s eyes widened.

"Why not?" Chen Geng shrugged his shoulders and asked rhetorically: "We have signed more orders of intent, and there are always airlines willing to sign real contracts of intent with us, which means that the market is optimistic, and the stock price will not rise at that time?"

Is it really that simple?

Little McDonald was very skeptical of Chen Geng's words, but when it came to this, he didn't have a good way, and he also felt that what Chen Geng said made sense: although the current McDonnell Douglas is not the McDonnell Douglas of previous years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, but it is just to let those airlines that have a perennial cooperative relationship with McDonnell Douglas sell personal favors, and not let them really buy it, don't those guys even give themselves this little face?

Nima's, it!

Moreover, even if you don't give Lao Tzu face, if you can't take out those guys, can you still not give Chen Geng face?

Just do it, as Chen Geng's first 150 million funds were injected into McDonnell Douglas's account one after another, McDonald Jr. began to move, to say that this guy is indeed very face-saving, with his personal visit, the shareholders of those airlines, the chairman of the board of directors after making sure that McDonald Jr. just wants to do a favor and make a strong noise, and does not need them to really purchase MD-12, one by one really gives him face, American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Lufthansa, Western Airlines, Air France, and other airlines that have had a long-term relationship with McDonnell Douglas have signed agreements of intent to purchase MD-12 with McDonnell Douglas, and in less than three months, McDonald Jr. won a total of 56 orders.

Under his promotion and personal mediation, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Air China and other airlines have also signed a number of purchase contracts, and the purchase intention of Middle East Airlines and Air China is particularly strong, and Air China secretly put forward a request to Chen Geng, saying that if McDonnell Douglas does not sell MD-12 to domestic airlines, they can not only increase the purchase volume, but even sign a formal purchase contract now......

After a lot of hard work, by the end of the year, the total number of MD-12 intentions had reached a staggering 82!

At the same time, with McDonnell Douglas's continuous orders, coupled with the successive injection of all 500 million yuan of Chen Geng's funds, Lockheed and other investment institutions finally could no longer sit still: McDonnell Douglas MD-12 project, this is really going to be successful.

No, we can't wait any longer!

Malcolm Hughes, who couldn't sit still any longer, knew who was the most influential person on the project, so he didn't go directly to McDonald Jr., but directly to Chen Geng.

"Do you really want to take a stake in the MD-12 aircraft?" After Malcolm Hughes explained his intentions, Chen Geng was not so surprised, but he still reminded him: " Hughes, I remind you that even now, Mike and I dare not guarantee that the MD-12 will succeed, if you hope that you can turn your Lockheed into the civil aircraft market through the MD-12 project, the risk is still very high, you may still lose a lot, and this is very likely to run counter to your original intentions. ”

As for the fact that the intent orders that are now getting are basically fake orders, Chen Geng will not tell Malcolm Hughes if he is killed, and I have to say that Chen Geng and McDonald Jr. have done a good job in secrecy, and in the face of McDonnell Douglas's propaganda of MD-12, there have been 8 real orders and 74 intent orders, neither the media nor investment institutions have any doubts, and everyone thinks that these orders are real.

As for Lockheed's initial wish, of course, it was to sell Lockheed's civil aircraft business to Boeing at a high price.

"Mr. Fernandez, I understand very well," Malcolm Hughes nodded and said sincerely: "Our initial idea was indeed to sell the civil aircraft business at a good price, but now that there is hope for reviving Lockheed's civil aircraft business, of course we will not let go of this opportunity." ”

Since Malcolm Hughes had already said so, what else could Chen Geng say? He finally agreed: "Okay, I'll tell Mike about it when I get back, and if you think it's necessary, I can go with you and talk to Mike about it...... In addition, your cooperation model is still based on capital, technology and production, right?"

"That's right. Malcolm Hughes nodded: "I think this will speed up the production of the MD-12 project as soon as possible." ”

At this point, there are things that must be told to Malcolm Hughes, such as the current actual order situation for the MD-12.

Chen Geng confessed to Malcolm Hustan.

When he heard Chen Geng say that the MD-12 is now only 4 in real order and only 12 in the intended order, Malcolm Hughes was stunned: "How can this be?"

Chen Geng smiled bitterly: "Of course, these intention orders are true, but it is very likely that these intention orders will always be intention orders and will not be converted into actual orders......"

As for why this happened, Malcolm Hughes was not a rookie and wheat who only came out to work on the first day, and immediately figured out the twists and turns, and also understood why Chen Geng and McDonald Jr. did this, and also smiled bitterly: "So ......"

"Yes," Chen Geng nodded happily: "I'll tell you the truth, it's because I don't want you to know about this after signing the cooperation agreement, and angrily think that you have been deceived, and then make these public, at that time, the MD-12 project will really have no chance at all." ”

If he told the public that the MD-12 actually did not get a few orders at all, causing a crisis of confidence, the MD-12 would have no chance at all, that is, Fernandez Chen thinks that the MD-12 still has a chance?

Realizing this, Malcolm Hughes immediately threw the fact that he had been deceived into his mind, and asked repeatedly: "In other words, do you think there is still a chance?" Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly asked: "Also, did you plan all this?"

"You can say that. Chen Geng nodded happily.

Malcolm Hughes: "That ......"

Chen Geng: "Our plan is like this......"

After listening to Chen Geng's words, Malcolm Hughes's face was cloudy.

He finally knew what Chen Geng and McDonald's plan was, and to put it bluntly, Chen Geng and McDonald Jr. were taking risks, if their final plan did not succeed, whether it was him Chen Geng or McDonald, he would lose a lot of money, this money may not be very serious for Chen Gengguo, but for McDonnell Douglas, this is no chance to turn over.

Suffice it to say, the risk is enormous!

But in the same way, knowing what kind of crisis the MD-12 faced before, Malcolm Hughes had to admit that this method was the only way to survive and save McDonnell Douglas and McDonald Jr. from the quagmire, otherwise McDonnell Jr. would really have to sit back and watch McDonnell Douglas be swallowed up by Boeing without any way.

Putting himself in the environment of MacDonald Jr., Malcolm Hughes was stunned to find that McDonald Jr. had no other way than to take risks and gamble.

"Mike and I have only one request," looking at Malcolm Hughes, Chen Geng said seriously: "Even if our cooperation cannot be reached, please keep this matter confidential and don't tell anyone." ”

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

Hearing Chen Geng say that Lockheed decided to take a stake, McDonald Jr. was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly invited Chen Geng and Malcolm Hughes to come together - MD-12 eyes began the most important welding work of the central wing box, and as the most important load-bearing part of an aircraft, to a certain extent, the central wing box is equivalent to a person's spine, belonging to one of the most core hardware, little McDonald is not careless at all, he is now soaking in the factory all day, really can't leave.

Chen Geng and Malcolm Hughes were not laymen, so they naturally knew the importance of the central wing box to an airplane, and they did not feel that they were being treated slowly, so they flew directly to McDonnell Douglas on Chen Geng's private jet.
