Chapter 1058: I Don't Die, You Are All Princes
Wang Zhenguo and a group of leaders of Air China personally waited at the gate of the group headquarters, and the long red carpet was spread from the door of the office building to the gate of the compound.
Regarding the scene posed by Air China, Chen Geng was extremely calm: What scene have you never seen?
Seeing Chen Geng getting out of the car, Wang Zhenguo took the lead in greeting him with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chen, welcome, your arrival makes Air China shine." β
"Mr. Wang, you are too polite, you blame me for coming too late," Chen Geng shook Wang Zhenguo's hand and said with a smile: "Air China is the largest purchaser of our F100 aircraft, and after our F120 completed the airworthiness certification work, it was our Air China that took the lead in placing orders for 12 F120s for us, and our Air China supported our work with practical actions. β
Chen Geng's words made Wang Zhenguo and the leaders of Air China a little unexpected, and everyone didn't expect Chen Geng to be so polite.
The reason for the dissatisfaction is just as Chen Geng just said, Air China is the airline that purchases the most of your F100 aircraft among several domestic airlines, and your F120 is the first to give an order for 12 aircraft after completing the airworthiness certification work, and we are so supportive of your work, but you Chen Geng has never personally come to the door to express his gratitude. Although Wang Dazhi and other high-level officials have never been short of courtesies, but you Chen Geng can't come, isn't it a bit uninteresting?
But now, with Chen Geng's words, everyone's hearts suddenly became a lot more ironed.
There is no way, the name of the richest man in the world today is so bluffing, say a few good words, how much dissatisfaction you have in your heart is instantly comfortable, not to mention that Chen Geng has so much investment in China, the core has personally met him a few times, as long as he is willing, he can directly meet the core of the people, people have put their attitudes so low, who dares to be dissatisfied?
After some greetings between the two sides, they immediately came to the reception room humbly.
"Mr. Wang, today I am here to apologize to Air China. After the two sides sat down separately, Chen Geng opened his mouth first.
"Apologize?" Wang Zhenguo looked at Chen Geng in surprise: "Mr. Chen, where did you start with this?"
Chen Geng smiled secretly in his heart: This guy pretends to be quite similar!
"That's right, Mr. Wang may have heard that I have a good relationship with Mr. McDonald Jr. of McDonnell Douglas Group......"
After saying that COMAC intends to sell the F150 technology to McDonnell Douglas, but McDonnell Doesnnell Doesnnell Douglas Group's precondition is that Air China wants to purchase McDonnell Douglas MD-11 passenger aircraft, Chen Geng said apologetically: "This matter is inappropriate for me to do, and I didn't consider the meaning of our Air China......
"Mr. Chen, where are you talking about?" Before Chen Geng's words were finished, Wang Zhenguo interrupted Chen Geng's words with a smile: "What else should I do, it turns out that it is such a trivial matter...... COMAC is the only company in our country that can independently develop and manufacture mainline aircraft, just like Mr. Chen, you said, our two companies are still brother companies, we are very happy to see our COMAC sell aircraft technology to the Americans, whether it is out of personal feelings or other aspects, we are very happy!
As for what you said, whether it is out of affection or reason, we will definitely help if we can, isn't it just buying McDonnell Douglas planes, trivial matters! Anyway, they are all buying airplanes, and when the two planes are about the same, who is not buying them? Mr. Chen, you can rest assured. β
Chen Geng saved face for himself and Air China, and Wang Zhenguo naturally knew what he should do: Chen Geng put on an attitude of coming to apologize is one thing, but if he doesn't know the height of the sky, he thinks that he can handle the other party and even take this opportunity to ask for a price, that is to think too much.
"Then on behalf of COMAC, I would like to thank Mr. Wang and our Air China for their support to our work," Chen Geng nodded solemnly, and after speaking, he nodded to the Air China executives in the conference room: "I will definitely toast everyone when I go back." β
Wang Zhenguo said politely: "It's all right, we're all a family when the door is closed, but I also make a small request." β
You say. β
Looking at Chen Geng, Wang Zhenguo said slowly but firmly: "In Huaxia, only our Air China is equipped with MD-12. β
This means that even Chen Geng's airline can't use the MD-12.
Wang Dazhi suddenly frowned: Air China's condition is a bit bullying.
But Chen Geng didn't think about it, so he agreed: "Yes." β
Chen Geng actually agreed so happily?
Chen Geng agreed, Wang Zhenguo was stunned for a while, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Chen, I'm talking about MD-12." β
"I'm talking about the MD-12 as well," Chen Geng said he heard and understood correctly: "In the future, we will only be equipped with long-range aircraft at the MD-11 and A330 levels." β
Chen Gengdu said this, Wang Zhenguo didn't know what to say for a while, he blinked, and said tentatively: "That...... A word?"
"OK, that's a deal. β
Chen Geng agreed very happily, anyway, he did not plan to equip the MD-12, MD-11, A330, Boeing 777, 787 is the mainstream of the future, as for Air China, in order to maintain their unique position in the field of domestic aviation operations...... They can do whatever they like, and they have no intention of challenging Air China's position anyway.
Although I don't know why Chen Geng agreed so happily, this is not a bad thing after all, and the heart that Wang Zhenguo has been carrying has finally let go.
Before that, Wang Zhenguo was most worried that Chen Geng's airline would also be equipped with MD-12, but now, Wang Zhenguo still didn't believe it in his heart.
However, as soon as Wang Zhenguo was about to speak, he heard Chen Geng continue: "There must be no problem on our side, but Mr. Wang, China Eastern Airlines seems to be very interested in MD-12." β
China Eastern Airlines ......
Wang Zhenguo's brows suddenly furrowed.
Yes, for Air China, China Eastern Airlines will always be the biggest threat, this guy has been thinking about the dragon chair under his buttocks, ready to "seek the dynasty and usurp the throne", for example, if China Eastern Airlines is equipped with MD-12, when the core visits abroad, China Eastern Airlines will have something to say: "Leader, we also have what Air China has, do you also support and check our work?"
The words may not be so direct, but this is what it means, and for Air China, this situation is absolutely not allowed, and any clue or wind and grass must be nip in the bud!
China Eastern Airlines...... They can't buy it, and the state won't grant them funds," Wang Zhenguo, who had already made up his mind and contacted friends from the Civil Aviation Administration of China when he went back, quickly made a decision: "But after all, China Eastern Airlines is also an important part of the domestic air transport industry, and if they urgently need to replenish their own transport strength, our Air China big brother can carry forward the style and let them mention the MD-11 first." β
Air China is Air China, profoundly practicing its unique position in the field of Chinese civil aviation "I am immortal, you are all princes", no matter how China Eastern Airlines tossed, in the end it still failed to obtain the qualification to place an order for MD-12 aircraft to McDonnell Douglas, but China Eastern Airlines is also a "prince" level existence, if Air China is the prince of the East Palace Li Chengqian, then China Eastern Airlines is the much-loved Wei King Li Tai, in order to compensate for "Li Tai", Air China even allows China Eastern Airlines to get MD-11 before itselfββ But MD-12 can only be Lao Tzu.
With Air China's words, that's all it takes, that's what Chen Geng wants, and he immediately nodded: "That's it...... OK, oh, by the way, Mr. MacDonald Jr. will be coming over in a few days, I guess he will come to visit you old customers, if there are any questions, you can communicate with him directly. β
"I will. β
While speaking, Wang Zhenguo had already made up his mind in his heart: he would never give those guys from China Eastern Airlines any chance.
..............................
On the way back, Chen Geng happily called McDonald Jr.: "Mike, I have good news for you, Air China and China Eastern Airlines' purchase of MD-11 has basically been finalized, provided that you will really introduce the relevant technology of F150." β
Little McDonald was extraordinarily straightforward, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "I am going to China soon, as long as they are indeed like this, and McDonnell Douglas's technical inspection team is sure that there is no problem with your plane and can meet McDonnell Douglas' requirements, we can sign a contract at any time." β
