The Rolls-Royce company is indeed in a hurry, and the British, who have been playing conspiracy for hundreds of years, smelled a strong smell of conspiracy from it, and Lin Hongfei's looming figure in it made the rolls-Royce company sure that this matter must be related to Lin Hongfei.

Yes, so far the Republican has not made any official statements against the rolls-Royce company, but the board of directors of rolls-Royce is well aware that it will be too late when the Republican officials do make such a statement. At this time, they began to regret that the previous things could have been handled in a more "safe" way, but ......

"We can't go on like this, we have to take some countermeasures," Norton, chairman of the board of directors, said with a serious expression at the emergency rolls-royce board meeting, "Everyone knows that the civil aviation market of the Republic will be the fastest growing civil aviation market in the next 20 years, and the future of rolls-Royce is in the Republic." The Chinese have started to catch up again in this area, and we have to find a way to solve this problem. ”

Sir William glanced at Ernest gloatingly, "If it weren't for the insistence of some people, things wouldn't have turned out this way." ”

"You ......" Ernest, who was under tremendous pressure during this time, and his hair was a lot less, suddenly became angry when he heard this, jumped up like a stimulated wild dog, and stared at William with a fierce face, "Director William, what do you mean by this?" ”

William glared back without showing weakness, without the intention of giving in, "It's not interesting, I just remember that it was Director Ernest who insisted on taking some not-so-honorable measures against the Chinese, and now the Chinese have fought back." But it was the rolls-Royce company that had to pay the price...... I would say, is this unfair to the other directors? ”

"That's right, you can't make the whole company pay for one person's mistakes." As soon as William's words came out, he immediately won the approval of the other directors, and they all spoke against Ernest.

Before that, many of them supported Ernest, rolls-Royce is a joint-stock company with multiple directors, and without the support of the majority of directors, rolls-Royce would not have made this move against Lin Hongfei, but since there are already signs that rolls-Royce cannot afford to lose. Ernest, who was originally "trying to preserve the dignity of the gentlemen of the British Empire", naturally became the best scapegoat immediately...... We didn't say that we wanted to do this to Lin Hongfei, it was you Ernest who proposed it.

"You...... You ......"

Ernest's face was purple with anger, and his fingers trembled and pointed at the directors who accused him, and his heart was extremely sad and angry: before this. You're all clamoring to give that damn Chinese a little bit of power! You damn villains!

"We want to teach that damned Chinese a lesson, but that can't be done at the expense of our interests." A director who had previously supported Ernest to teach Lin Hongfei a lesson, and now supported William because of the possibility that Rolls-Royce would lose the Republic market, said with no shame on his face. "Now that reality has proven Mr. Ernest wrong, we have to correct it."

Not only did the director have no shame on his face, but the other shareholders who had previously been on Ernest's side and who were now losing money because of the possible boycott of the Rolls-Royce company by the republican government were also on William's side...... Capital is so crazy, you can bring them benefits, you are their ancestor. You can't bring them benefits, you are their enemy.

Norton sighed to himself.

Other directors can do this, but he can't, for the simple reason that he can't. He is the chairman of the company, and he acquiesced in the actions of Lin Hongfei and Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and opposing Ernest would also have an impact on his influence, which Norton never wanted to see.

Knocking on the table, Norton accentuated, "Gentlemen, the situation is not at worst, the government of the Republic has still not made an official statement, which means that we still have time and opportunity, whether our previous decision is right or wrong, it is the rolls-Royce company that makes the decision, not someone." ”

"I would like to remind you that what we need to do now is not to quarrel here and pass the buck to each other, but to immediately come up with a solution...... Do you want to see us lose a market that is growing at a rate of 30% per year, with a conservative estimate of 1,500 commercial aircraft over the next 20 years? If you don't want to, then stop this senseless bickering. ”

This sentence simply works more than anything else.

That's right! Now is not the time to quarrel, in the face of such a fast-growing market, it is only right to seek solutions quickly, as for responsibilities and problems, you can leave them for later...... All for the sake of profit.

"Mr. Norton, you are right, this is indeed not the time for us to argue, what advice do you have for the current situation?" Seeing that Ernest could not be shaken this time, William immediately changed direction and asked Norton.

It's not just Norton who wants to ask this question, the other directors are also staring at Norton with burning eyes: yes, since you asked us to stop arguing, then we will stop arguing, but you have to come up with a reasonable plan for us to stop arguing.

"The current situation, which is mainly caused by poor communication between the two sides, I think it is necessary for us to make a visit to the Republic to explain and clarify some misunderstandings between the two sides." As he said this, Norton felt a deep sense of humiliation in his heart: When did the chairman of the dignified Rolls-Royce Company need to bow his head to the damn yellow-skinned monkey?

"Yes, it's a good suggestion, it's all just a misunderstanding, as long as it is explained and clarified, there will be no big problem," William immediately agreed, anyway. Norton is the chairman of the company, and unless Norton makes some serious mistakes, William, as a director, is not stupid enough to offend the majesty of the chairman, he just raised his doubts, "but after such a long time...... Well, Chinese are all good-looking ......"

Although William's words were tactful, everyone knows what they mean: Yes, although everyone finds it difficult to understand the behavior of Chinese people who value face over interests. But they actually like it very much, but now, if they can't make Chinese feel face-saving, then this matter is probably still a little difficult to do...... Mr. President, how do you plan to make the Chinese feel face-saving?

Able to sit in the chair of the board of directors of the rolls-Royce company. Norton, of course, has two brushes, said immediately. "Yes. How to make Chinese feel that they have face is indeed our biggest problem, but again, this problem is the opposite, if we make Chinese feel that they have face, this problem will naturally be solved, don't you say? ”

This one really is. If the Chinese feel that "they have face", although the problem will not be solved immediately, at least the biggest obstacle no longer exists, and now everyone's problem is. What exactly is Mr. Norton's so-called method of "making Chinese feel face"?

“MK202！” Norton said confidently, "A few years ago, didn't Chinese place an order for us to purchase a batch of retired MK202 engines, and we have been delaying this order and have not delivered it so far, I think Chinese would be very happy if we offered to deliver the MK202 engines to them...... From what I know about the Chinese, this seems to them that we are bowing to them. ”

Norton's remarks have an allusion to the fact that in the early 90s, China offered the British government to buy a stock of second-hand rolls-Royce MK202 engines from retired F-4K Phantom fighters, in order to ensure the needs of the Flying Leopard fighter-bomber developed and designed by the Chinese.

Although the Republic began the introduction of Spey engines and domestic language work as early as the 60s, but because of some special reasons, until now, the progress of the localization of Spey engines has been carried out less than 40%, and the progress of domestic Spey engines has not been able to catch up with the progress of the "Flying Leopard" production and delivery, and the 50 imported "Spey" engines purchased and stocked for 20 years have become the only power for the "Flying Leopard", but the demand for FBC-1 "Flying Leopard" fighter-bombers is very large. In desperation, the government of the Republic decided to purchase second-hand "Spey" MK202 engines from the British to meet the production requirements of the FBC-1 "Flying Leopard" fighter-bomber.

Do you still remember what Lin Hongfei once said about the engineer who flew out of the west introduced by their company? In this matter, the British smacked the neck of the republic, even if the republic had already sent the money, but the British government always postponed the delivery for various reasons, and the ordered batch of engines has so far delivered less than 20 units, for which the republican government is greatly annoyed.

In Norton's mind, if the rolls-Royce company took the initiative to propose to the government of the Republic at this time, and the rolls-Royce company helped persuade the British government to deliver this batch of "Spey" MK202 engines to them, the Chinese should feel that the company has face and the rolls-Royce company has sincerity in solving this matter, right?

"What MK202?" Norton's suggestion made the directors' eyes light up, "Yes, that's a good idea." ”

The batch of "Spey" MK202 military turbofan engines ordered by the government of the Republic is sealed in the special warehouse of the rolls-Royce company, and the British government has to pay the rolls-royce company a lot of storage fees every year Chinese...... The navy shouts all day long that its military spending is not enough, and it is not bad to give it to the navy.

The reason why it has not been delivered is because of the Rolls-Royce company, which hinted that the cabinet members and MPs it supported strongly opposed the matter, and the "Spey" engines could not be delivered to the Chinese in time, and in order to write about the "Spey" engines, the Republic has spent at least 20 million pounds of additional public relations expenses on the rolls-Royce company...... In fact, there is no need to spend this money.

Norton breathed a sigh of relief, if the directors still objected, then he had no good way, but on the surface he nodded confidently, "Then, vote by show of hands: Gentlemen who agree to pay for this batch of 'Spey' MK202 engines in exchange for the Chinese not discriminating against rolls-Royce in the civil aviation market, please raise your hand." ”

"Mr. Norton, wait a minute." William interrupted Norton with his hand raised, signaling that he had something to say.

Well? This William, what is this trying to do? Norton was a little unhappy in his heart, but he was the chairman, not a dictatorial tyrant, and he had no right to prevent a director from speaking, and although he was very depressed in his heart, he had to nod, "Sir William, please speak." ”

While saying this, Norton was ruthless in his heart: If what you say is consistent with me, it is fine, if you are not consistent with me...... I, the chairman, am not a vegetarian either!

"Mr. Norton's suggestion is very good, and I just add my personal opinion: Can we ask the Chinese to make a commitment to give priority to the engine products of rolls-Royce and the companies in which rolls-Royce has a stake when they buy planes in the future?"

He bites the word "priority" very hard.

That's right! William's words made the eyes of the other shareholders light up: why can't you do this? The Chinese almost have to kneel down for us for this batch of "Spey" engines, and there is no reason why they should not agree to this condition we proposed, right? After all, they are not fools either.

Norton was also a little moved, hesitated, he nodded, "We can bring it up and try it." ”
