Chapter 946 - Can You Play Like This?
"Mr. ......"
Seeing McDonald Jr. and Chen Geng walking out together, MacDonald's secretary Weitz, who was standing outside chatting, and Chen Geng's personal assistant, Kelly Hicks, hurriedly stood up.
The two bosses didn't know what their considerations were, and they didn't let Weitz and Kelly Hicks in when they just talked, because they were really curious about what their boss and Mr. Fernandez were talking about.
"Hmmm......"
Little MacDonald nodded in response, and turned his head to look at Chen Geng again: "Fernandez, are you really not going back with me?"
"This is an internal matter of your company, what is the matter with me blending?" Faced with Little McDonald's invitation again, Chen Geng still refused, he smiled and waved his hand: "Brother, you won't even be able to do this little thing, right?"
Little MacDonald was not happy: "You underestimate me?"
Chen Geng shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, but his expression clearly expressed what he was saying: That's right, I just underestimated you, what's the matter?
Weitz looked at Chen Geng, and then at his boss, and was extremely curious: what did the boss and Fernandez talk about in it just now?
However, she did not dare to ask.
Obviously, little MacDonald didn't mean anything to him, he nodded, and said to Chen Geng very seriously: "Dude, I owe you three favors." β
If you owe a favor, you have to pay it back.
Chen Geng still smiled and looked indifferent: "It's okay, I believe that in the near future, you will still owe me a fourth or fifth." β
Is this what people say?!
Little MacDonald's face changed, and he said to Weitz angrily: "Go, go back!"
Little Macdonald and Weitz got into the helicopter and left angrily, Kelly Hicks couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, and asked Chen Geng: "Boss, you just ...... with Mr. Little MacDonald You ......"
"It's nothing," Chen Geng said, "I just told him a little bit of the ancient wisdom of our Chinese nation: if you go outside, you must first settle inside." β
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the saying that "if you are not united internally and do not agree with your opinions, how can you deal with external enemies?" The reason why many people have misunderstood the saying "If you are fighting outside, you must first secure your interior," we can only blame a certain bigwig for playing this sentence badly.
"If you go outside, you must first settle inside?"
Kelly Hicks didn't seem to understand, but she nodded honestly.
........................
Not to mention how to persuade the Douglas Department after McDonald Jr. went back, so that the Douglas Department and McDonnell Douglas would work side by side with McDonnell Douglas to fight against everyone's common enemy at this time: Boeing, not Chen Geng, let's just talk about Maozi.
The hairymen are in a hurry!
As we said earlier, Chen Geng said that he had a way to spend more than a billion dollars from his lovely third brother to buy aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, and the Soviet side paid him all the information on the Tu-204 aircraft except for the PS-90A engine.
Although the Soviet side coveted the amount promised by Chen Geng, they also felt that Chen Geng's asking price was simply outrageous: You actually want all the information of our most advanced trunk civil aircraft?!
Crazy, right?
Hang him and let the guy calm down.
This is more than a month.
But after more than a month, Chen Geng didn't care, as the domestic economic situation became worse day by day, Mao Zi was depressed and found that he seemed to be unable to hold on, and this money had become more and more important to the Soviet Union.
The so-called penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and in this case, the visit of Anatoly Fedorovich, counselor of the Soviet embassy in the United States, is particularly intriguing......
"Mr. Fedorovich," Chen Geng interrupted Anatoly Fedorovich, who was chattering, and said impatiently: "Don't tell me this, I am confident that as long as you are not blind, you should be able to see the help I have provided to your Soviet Union over the years, and I am confident that I do not owe you anything to the Soviet Union."
So let's be straight, Mr. Fedorovich, what kind of decision has your government made? Do you still want me to do my work for you for free without any pay? If so, then don't talk again, well, why don't you taste some American food?"
Anatoly Fedorovich felt like he wanted to beat Fernandez Chen: Did you talk like that?
But there was no way, he didn't dare!
Not only did I not dare, but I couldn't.
Again, for the Soviet Union, which is now in a stormy situation, the order promised by Chen Geng is too important for the Soviet Union!
Anatoly Fedorovich took a deep breath and asked Chen Geng in a deep voice, "Mr. FernΓ‘ndez, I have a question. β
Chen Geng nodded: "You may ask." β
"You insist that we pay you first, but what if you don't follow through on your promise after you receive it?"
This is to discuss the specific means of operation, and that's right.
Chen Geng nodded: "I understand your worries...... Let's put it this way, if you cooperate with me throughout the whole process, no matter how big the gap between the amount I negotiated and the amount I promised, I will fill the gap for you. β
"Really?!"
Anatoly Fedorovich was moved.
If there is a gap, it will be in tens of millions of dollars or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and Fernandez Chen actually said that he would make up for it himself? Anatoly Fedorovich was really shocked.
"I'm pretty sure. Chen Geng nodded and said firmly.
"Good!"
Since Chen Geng said this, Anatoly Fedorovich no longer hesitated, he took a deep breath: "I agree in principle on behalf of our Soviet government, and we hope that you can go to Moscow as soon as possible and sign the contract." β
After signing the contract, it is natural to work as soon as possible!
"OK, no problem," Chen Geng naturally had nothing to say: "Let me ask by the way, has the prototype of the ship-based version of the Yak-130 been made?"
"I don't know very well," Anatoly Fedorovich said with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "You know, our diplomatic system and they are not the same system......"
"Understood," Chen Geng nodded without waiting for Anatoly Fedorovich to finish speaking: "Then when you go back and contact your government, tell them to arrange for the ship-based version of the Yak-130 to be on board as soon as possible, even if it can only perform take-off and landing performances...... We have to show India how this aircraft performs in action. β
"You invited Indian government and military officials to personally watch the take-off and landing of the Yak-130 on the aircraft carrier?" Anatoly Fedorovich suddenly realized, but at the same time, he hesitated: "But our Kuznetsov aircraft carrier ......"
"It's just for them to watch the planes take off and land, what do you have to worry about?" Before Anatoly Fedorovich finished speaking, Chen Geng interrupted him: "If you are worried about leaking secrets, it's a big deal to not let the Indians enter the core cabin to visit, not to mention that this kind of thing should also be worried about the military, as a diplomat, you just need to convey my intentions, right?"
Chen Gengdu had already said this, what else could Anatoly Fedorovich say, he could only nod: "Okay." β
..................
The Soviet Union was really poor and crazy, and on the third day after Anatoly Fedorovich left, Nikolai Malenkov called Chen Geng and asked him to go to the Soviet Union to sign a contract.
After the signing of the contract, Nikolai Malenkov immediately asked Chen Geng impatiently: "Mr. Fernandez, can you say it now, what way are you going to sell the aircraft carrier at a fundamentally high price?"
Chen Geng smiled slightly, did not answer immediately, but asked Nikolai Malenkov: "Nikolai, do you remember a question I asked you earlier? After the powerful Soviet Union began to build the Kuznetsov and Ulyanovsk nuclear-powered aircraft carriers on a large scale, does the Soviet government have any plans to retire the Moskva-class aircraft carriers and the Kiev-class aircraft carriers one after another? β
"Of course I remember," Nikolai Malenkov nodded, a little incomprehensible: "but what does this have to do with the fact that we sold to Soviet aircraft carriers?"
"Of course it matters," Chen Geng said: "For example, if we tell India that the Soviet Union is preparing to decommission a Kiev-class aircraft carrier, which has only been used for more than ten years, and there is still a lot of remaining hull life, and the performance between the various components and systems is working well, because the Soviet Union and India have been comrades-in-arms for many years, so the Soviet Union is ready to give this aircraft carrier to ......India for free."
"What? Give it away for free?!" Before Chen Geng's words could be finished, Nikolai Malenkov jumped up: "This is impossible! Mr. FernΓ‘ndez, I tell you, this is absolutely impossible! Do you know how much an aircraft carrier costs to cost?"
"Can you wait for me to finish?!" Chen Geng glared at Nikolai Malenkov angrily: "Since I dare to make such a promise, will I let the Soviet Union suffer?"
"Uh......" Nikolai Malenkov was stunned, only then did he realize that his actions just now seemed to be really stupid, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed: "You say." β
"Of course, the aircraft carrier is given away for free, but we will invite Indian government and military officials to visit the latest Soviet aircraft carrier, the Kuznetsov, and then tell India that the Soviet Union can help India convert the aircraft carrier that was given to them into the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, which has an oblique way to block the deck and take off, or simply put, this modified Kiev-class aircraft carrier is a small Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, you say, will India be tempted?"
Nikolai Malenkov thought for a moment about how a Kiev-class aircraft carrier would look like converting into a small Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, and then nodded fiercely: "I will definitely be excited!" But I still don't understand how we make money. β
This is an aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of more than 30,000 tons, which is not much larger than the two small broken ships in India now, not to mention that the take-off and landing of the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier are separate and will not cause interference.
Not only Nikolai Malenkov, but also the other Soviet officials around him looked dazed and puzzled: we are giving away aircraft carriers for free and helping them refit, but how do we make money?
β......β
Chen Geng was speechless to Nikolai Malenkov, or rather, he was desperate for the economic intelligence of all Soviet officials, and sighed secretly in his heart, Chen Geng explained to Nikolai Malenkov and all the Soviet officials present: "Although the aircraft carrier is given away for free, should India pay for this part of the funds for the modification of the aircraft carrier?"
That's right!
Nikolai Malenkov and the rest of the Soviet officials suddenly realized: Why didn't I think of this?
ββββββββββββ
PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.
"Uh......" Nikolai Malenkov was stunned, only then did he realize that his actions just now seemed to be really stupid, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed: "You say." β
