Chapter 944: Seriously
You say I can't do it, I can't do it?
Which onion are you Patrick Settings?!
I'm going to do it!
Chen Geng, who had never thought that he could operate like this, immediately arranged for the media to "block" himself......
"Mr. Fernandez, we all know that you are friends with Mr. McDonald Jr., the president of McDonnell Douglas Aircraft, what do you think about the current predicament of McDonnell Douglas Aircraft? Do you have any ideas for solving it?"
"Yes, as you said, I am good friends with Mr. MacDonald Jr., he has given me a lot of help, and I respect him very much," Chen Geng stopped and accepted an interview with this media very "face-saving": "As for the current predicament of McDonnell Douglas, I think that in the final analysis, MacDonald formed two major interest factions within the group after the merger of Douglas, and the struggle between these two major interest factions was caused by each other. β
The reporter immediately became excited, and he hurriedly asked: "What do you mean, is the reason why the McDonnell Douglas plane has the current trouble is all because of the internal friction between the McDonald system and the original Douglas system inside the McDonnell plane?"
Chen Geng nodded: "So to speak." β
"Then what do you think can be done to solve this trouble of buying an airplane?"
Chen Geng didn't sell it, and said bluntly: "If you know what the problem is, then it's good to prescribe the right medicine for this problem, aren't the employees and executives of the Yuan Douglas department have no sense of belonging to the newly merged MacDonnell Douglas, and think that they have been cheated by MacDonald Company?"
Simple!
Split McDonnell Douglas!
The current McDonnell Douglas is split into two companies, and the two sides independently carry out product research and development work under the premise of sharing procurement channels and marketing channels. β
"Okay, good ......"
The reporter nodded excitedly: "Mr. Fernandez, I still have a question......
"I'm sorry," without waiting for the reporter to finish speaking, Chen Geng waved his hand: "I still have something to do, so let's get here first." β
........................
Chen Geng's interview did not cause much of a sensation in the media, but at the top of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, the report caused quite a stir.
Boeing President Steve Herberg's face turned pale: "How dare he?
When Patrick Settings reported to him that Fernandez Chen was going to propose to McDonald Jr. to break up McDonnell Douglas, Steve Herberg didn't take it too seriously, and felt that Chen Geng's bluff was more likely - now that the whole world knows that Boeing has taken McDonnell Douglas as his prey, who would dare to risk this world's condemnation? He Fernandez Chen is indeed very powerful, but so what? Does he dare to be an enemy of the will of the First Citigroup behind Boeing?
The existence of the First Citigroup is also the basis for Boeing's strategy team to formulate the strategy of Patrick Setins to negotiate with Chen Geng.
Yes, that's the No. 1 Citi Consortium, one of the top ten consortia in the United States, and it's the kind with the top strength, not comparable to the Boston Consortium's rural rich people, you Fernandez Chen is indeed very powerful, but you dare to do it against our No. 1 Citigroup?
I can't kill you!
To everyone's surprise, Chen Geng really went against Boeing and the No. 1 Citigroup behind Boeing, and he was the kind of person who left no room and drummed in front of him.
It was Patrick Setins, after being scolded by Chen Geng, a little back to his senses at this time, and in the face of the angry Steve Herberg, he shrugged: "No matter why he dares to do this, the problem now is that he has already done it." β
β......β
Steve Herberg was speechless: yes, you're jumping up and shouting "How dare he?!" for a yarn? Now the question is not "How dare he?", but he did it.
What does this mean?
It shows that FernΓ‘ndez Chen is not too afraid of the First Citi consortium.
That's more troublesome.
For a long time, relying on the big backer of the First Citi Consortium, Boeing has been invincible in many things, and no one dares not to sell the face of the First Citigroup Consortium, but now it is different, and there is really a guy who does not belong to the top ten consortia and dares not to give face to the First Citigroup Consortium.
So the question arises: what to do?
Steve Herberg's first instinct was to use Boeing's influence in government agencies to clean up Fernandez Chen, an ignorant and ignorant guy.
But before he could speak, Patrick Settings seemed to have seen through what was going on in his heart, and said: "This guy is not easy to mess with, he has a good relationship with the current White House, with the current cabinet members, with the Pentagon, and even with many members of the Senate and House of Representatives......
In a word, it is not easy to attack FernΓ‘ndez Chen from the government level.
So what to do?
Starting with the financial aspect?
Steve Herberg couldn't help but think again: any business can't do without the financial support of banks, and it seems good to find a way to cut off Fernandez Chen's access to funds from banks......
In addition, "just when Steve Herberg was wondering if he could find a way to warn Chen Geng from the banking channel, Patrick Settings, who seemed to have become a roundworm in Steve Herberg's stomach, continued: "Fernandez Chen also has several banks, among which the largest United Credit Bank has become one of the 20 largest banks in the United States, ranking 12th, and he also holds shares in more than 10 medium-sized banks......
Therefore, it is impossible to attack Fernandez Chen from the bank's point of view.
β......β
Steve Herberg was speechless, could this Fernandez Chen, could it be that he belonged to a turtle?
........................
Just when Steve Herberg was at a loss for Chen Geng and wanted to warn him harshly but couldn't find a chance, McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Headquarters, McDonnell Jr., also placed a newspaper in front of Chen Geng's interview.
Not only did little McDonald have this newspaper in front of him, but also in front of the dozen or so people in the conference room.
"Gentlemen, have you all read it? What do you think of Mr. Fernandez's opinion?" said MacDonald Jr., a little hoarse.
The current McDonnell Jr. is not the little McDonald of this year, in order to successfully integrate the Douglas department, McDonnell Jr. has spent too much energy over the years, coupled with the continuous decline in McDonnell's performance during this time, the pressure on his body is huge, at this moment, his whole person seems to be overwhelmed by exhaustion and pressure, not only tired, but also old.
There was silence in the room, and the executives all looked down and watched with their eyes at the reactions of the people around them: What do I say? What can I say?
But McDonald Jr. was not surprised by the atmosphere in the conference room, and he didn't know when it started, McDonnell Douglas Group's executive meeting was like this, everyone was perfunctory, just for that high salary, seeing that no one spoke, he asked Portland Mark Allen, executive vice president of defense, aviation and security, "Alan, tell me what you think." β
As soon as MacDonald Jr.'s words fell, the eyes of all executives suddenly fell on Portland Mark Allen - as we all know, Portland Mark Allen is a representative figure of the Douglas department inside McDonnell Douglas aircraft, and he is also the most staunch opponent of the merger of Douglas and MacDonald back then......
Everyone's minds suddenly floated.
Not only did everyone's minds float, but in fact, Portland Mark Allen's heart was also floating greatly, but he didn't speak immediately, but after thinking quickly for a while, he slowly spoke: "There are indeed some problems inside the McDonnell Douglas plane, and we all know this, so let's not talk about those tones in terms of external propaganda, but just my personal real opinion: I think Mr. Fernandez's suggestion is worth considering." β
What the?!
Even if everyone knows that the biggest dream of those guys in the original Douglas is to make the annexed Douglas independent, but as soon as Portland Mark Allen's voice fell, all the MacDonald executives still looked at Portland Mark Allen with a shocked face: He actually agreed?!
The next moment, everyone's eyes fell on McDonald Jr., chairman and CEO of the group.
Little MacDonald's face has no expression, but his heart is full of sadness: since he took over McDonnell from his father, in order to allow Douglas's people to smoothly integrate into McDonald, over the years, he has made concessions to Douglas's bastards, and even suppressed the voice of MacDonald's department, but now it seems that all the efforts he and his father have made over the years have been in vain, and those guys in Douglas are a group of white-eyed wolves who have been managed to warm their hearts, well, with FernandezChen's words say that these Douglas guys are "snakes in winter, and if you warm them up with your own body heat, instead of thanking you, it will immediately bite you hard."
The Farmer and the Snake!
The farmer and the snake.
Neither he nor his father are the kind farmers, and those bastards of Douglas are a cold-blooded snake that never knows gratitude.
That's it!
Since it's a poisonous snake that never knows how to be grateful and maybe will bite you hard, what's there to hesitate about?
Split it up!
Split, back to the beginning, MacDonald is MacDonald, Douglas is Douglas, and he is not so tired, and most importantly, Boeing's group of bastards, don't want to annex themselves - how could MacDonald Jr. not know about his old rival: Boeing's wolf ambitions?
However, little Macdonald is little MacDonald, although he has made a decision in his heart, the expression on his face is always the same, there is no change, and the others don't want to see anything from his face.
"Okay," McDonald Jr. nodded slightly, then looked at Howard Chambers, vice president of space and intelligence systems, "Chambers, tell me what you think?"
Unlike Portland Mark Allen, Howard Chambers is an old man in the McDonnell line, and has been working in the McDonnell Douglas Group since he was the boss of the McDonnell Douglas Group. β
It's just that unlike Portland Mark Allen, the reason why Howard Chambers agreed to Portland Mark Allen's suggestion was entirely because his heart was broken: no matter who it takes more than 20 years to warm a heart, this heart should have been heated a long time ago, right?
But those bastards of Douglas are not!
For more than 20 years, the hearts of those bastards of Douglas have not been burned!
ββββββββββββ
PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.
