Norton was right, if that were the case, whether it was General Electric or Pratt. The Whitney Company would never reach out to the rolls-Royce company, and they would not only be happy to see this happen, but would also kick rolls-Royce a few times unceremoniously...... It would be nice to be able to kick rolls-Royce to death.

Because the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, there is no strong national strength as a background, as the world's number one aero engine boss rolls-Royce company has been reduced to the third, for the British and rolls-Royce executives who still miss the good times of their empire, this huge gap is painful, and it is precisely because of this that rolls-Royce company has huge expectations for the Republic market. This is not only a huge market, but also a market that is growing at a high rate of more than 30% per year, whether rolls-Royce can maintain its current position, or go one step further, the Republic market is not only crucial, but even directly related to the survival of rolls-Royce, Norton will never allow rolls-Royce to be driven out of the city by the Chinese.

Norton's words are of course correct, if the most sinister Chinese really come up with strong evidence to prove that this is a despicable framing and conspiracy, for rolls-Royce, this is definitely a disaster no less than World War II, when the time comes, someone must stand up to take responsibility for this matter, and there is no doubt that the person responsible for this can only be Ernest.

"Mr. President, I have some different opinions." Director William spoke again, "If Chinese really has enough evidence, even if we let Mr. Ernest take the responsibility...... Can he take on this responsibility? How do you calculate the losses of Rolls-Royce? I do not think that the value of Mr. Ernest can be compared with our losses in the market of the republic. ”

Ernest's face was blue with anger, but he couldn't say anything.

William was absolutely right, compared to the losses of the rolls-Royce company in the Republic market, even throwing Ernest into the pot to extract oil would not make up for the losses of the rolls-Royce company...... This loss is long-term and strategic, not a temporary economic loss, not to mention that Ernest resigns, even if Ernest is scraped alive. To no avail.

The expressions of the other directors also became serious in an instant.

Sir William was right, if Chinese really had full proof, with their face-saving character, in order to protect their own face, there was a good chance that the rolls-Royce company would be driven out of the Republic market...... General Electric and Pratt. The Whitney Company will also mobilize its own advocates for interests in the republic. The same piece of cake is eaten by three people. Of course, it's better to eat without two people sharing it.

"Mr. Ernest?" Look at the expressions on the faces of the directors. Norton sighed and turned his head to look at Ernest: no matter what the truth of the matter is, he, Ernest, must have an explanation for everyone now, right now.

"I ......" Ernest, who was still blue just now, turned a lot paler at the moment.

He knows what the truth is, and so does all of you. If the Chinese have no evidence in their hands, then they can naturally let the rolls-Royce company ask for a sky-high price, but what if the Chinese have evidence in their hands?

It was a question he had never considered before. The pride of the gentlemen of the British Empire made him never think that he would fail: how could there be evidence of the inferior yellow-skinned monkeys, who were eager to lie on the ground and kiss the toes of the gentlemen and ladies of the British Empire when they saw the gentlemen and ladies of the British Empire?

But at this moment, he had to think about this, the reaction of the Chinese was so abnormal that everyone had to wonder if the Chinese really had some evidence?

What should they do if they do have proof? At this time, Ernest, who had always been extremely proud and confident, suddenly found that he had no way!

Or the only way to keep rolls-royce in the Republic market is to cede some of the core skills of rolls-royce to the damned Chinese, but then he can retire from rolls-royce...... The company would never accept the existence of a director who would trap them so badly, and on the other hand, it is unclear whether the board will agree to do so.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted it.

"Mr. President, it's not good!" Norton's secretary, who had been guarding outside, suddenly rushed in with a panicked look.

"Grace! Pay attention to demeanor! ”

Norton knocked on the table dissatisfied, as the most traditional British aristocracy, Norton's requirements for the appearance and demeanor of himself and the staff around him have reached an indescribable level, compared to the French who kept themselves neat and tidy, straight in military uniform, and shiny leather shoes even if they lost the war in World War II, obviously, the panicked appearance of his secretary made Mr. Norton feel ashamed of himself.

Secretary Jack realized how much of a mistake he had made, and quickly took a deep breath, and then spoke, "Dear boss, the Chinese embassy has just announced a news at the briefing held at the meeting, saying that they will hold a press conference in three days, and release the evidence in their hands to prove that the so-called rape of Mr. Lin of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. this time is a despicable conspiracy deliberately set up by a certain senior executive of rolls-Royce against Mr. Lin!" ”

"What?!" Immediately someone screamed.

Norton frowned, but the guy was also a director, and he frowned, and he could only endure it, turning his head to Jack and asking, "Didn't the media ask what the evidence was?" ”

"Yes," Jack nodded. This kind of thing, with the gossip instinct of the British media that goes deep into the bone marrow, how can they not ask? "They said it was Mr. Lin who installed the sound and video data of the professional-grade miniature anti-theft surveillance device in the room, which was originally planned to be used for anti-theft ......"

Needless to say, Jack knows in his heart: it was originally used for anti-theft, but now it has become the best evidence to prove Lin Hongfei's innocence and prove the filth of the rolls-Royce company.

Lin Hongfei, a bastard, actually placed a monitor in his room? In the office, which was a little noisy just now, it instantly fell into an extreme cold field.

The directors who were still standing with Ernest at the beginning all looked at Ernest with sympathy at the moment: there is no doubt that this guy is dead!

What could be more convincing than this kind of information? to be framed by others. Unexpectedly, it was photographed by the monitoring installed by others......

Although everyone knows that Lu Dao shouldn't laugh at this time, ...... Mr. Ernest was a bit unlucky.

Ernest's face was blue and white, unable to accept this fact no matter what, and he roared, "How is that possible? This must be a conspiracy of the Chinese. Who would put surveillance in their room? ”

But Ernest's exhaustion, in the eyes of the directors of rolls-Royce, was that Ernest had gone mad. He could not accept this fact.

Many people sighed in their hearts: for the sake of anti-theft. Isn't it normal to have surveillance equipment in your room? Which of the directors here doesn't have a lot of monitoring equipment in their homes?

Whether Ernest admits it or not, he fails, and everyone looks at him as if they were looking at a dead man...... In fact, in the eyes of these rolls-Royce directors, Ernest was not much more than a dead man at the moment.

But even so. William did not give up this opportunity to beat the water dogs, even if capitalism was so bloody and ruthless: "Gentlemen, I don't know who remembers Lockheed . Martin's L-1011 plane turmoil? ”

At this time, William spoke quietly.

William's words. All the directors present were shocked, and their faces suddenly looked ugly.

L-1011 "Samsung" aircraft is Lockheed. Proposed and designed by Martin in the 60s, it was a medium- and long-range, wide-body three-engine jet, which was not only the third wide-body jet in commercial operation after the Boeing 747 and McDonnell Douglas DC-10, but also the arms giant Lockheed. Martin's only jumbo jet airliner...... The British and the Rolls-Royce company were very impressed by this aircraft, and because of this aircraft, the rolls-Royce company was miserably pitted by the Americans.

Damn Lockheed . At the beginning of the design of the L-1011 "Samsung" aircraft, Martin chose the high-thrust, large-bypass ratio turbofan engine that rolls-Royce used for their L-1011 "Samsung" aircraft, which was later the first model of the RB211-22B series of the famous rolls-Royce company's housekeeping treasure.

Lockheed. Martin had high demands on the engine, but these requirements were a tragedy for rolls-Royce, and although the company had enough technical skills to support the development of the engine, the huge amount of research and development expenses caused a huge financial crisis for rolls-Royce.

By 1971, rolls-Royce was on the verge of bankruptcy, and eventually had to be taken over by the British government, and the company became a government-owned company, until 10 years ago, when rolls-Royce was gradually handed over from the government.

After the British government took over the rolls-Royce company, in order to save the rolls-Royce company, it had to make it mandatory for all British and British airlines to buy Lockheed. Martin's L-1011 "Samsung" aircraft to help rolls-Royce sell more RB211 engines...... Because of this, the British government almost lost face.

But the unfortunate fate of the rolls-Royce company did not end in the end, and a more tragic thing happened, that is, the Japanese All Nippon Airways Lockheed that shocked the entire world's aviation industry. Martin Samsung bribery case: In order to open the Japanese market, Lockheed. Martin secretly paid bribes to Japanese politicians in exchange for the Japanese government pressuring ANA to purchase Lockheed. Martin's L-1011 "Samsung" aircraft.

After this bribery incident was exposed, it became a major scandal at the time, which directly led to the arrest and imprisonment of Kakuei Tanaka, the Japanese prime minister at the time, and several other officials; Lockheed. Martin's Chairman, Daniel. Hofton and President Carl Brown. Cochin also resigned one after another; And on Lockheed. Martin lost more than $1 billion in total due to the impact of this scandal!

Lockheed. Martin is not having a good time, and Rolls-Royce is naturally not doing well: Lockheed. Martin could not afford to sell the planes, so it could not buy the engines of the rolls-Royce company; The engine could not be sold, and the financial difficulties of Rolls-Royce naturally increased, creating a vicious circle......

For the directors of the rolls-Royce company, this is an unbearable past, and in retrospect, this is simply a conspiracy of the damned Americans against the rolls-Royce company, if it were not for the British government bowing its head to the Americans, the Americans finally "generously" agreed to let the RB211 engine as one of the supporting engines of the Boeing 747, no one dares to think about what the current rolls-Royce company looks like...... Or have you, like the rolls-Royce and Bentley, gone bankrupt in fact?

It was also at what time that the directors of rolls-Royce could not remember this from the super-boss of aero-engines in the world to the third-largest of the world's aero engines?

"Mr. William, what do you mean by mentioning this?" Norton spoke, his face not looking good. (To be continued......)
