McDonnell Douglas wanted to borrow money from Chen Geng, but it was not so easy to borrow.

At the same time, Boeing was not really indifferent and did not react to Chen Geng's move to introduce the Tu-204 aircraft from the Soviet Tupolev Design Bureau.

"Patrick Setins wants to visit me?" Did Boeing say that Setins wanted to talk to me about something?" Chen Geng's expression was a little playful: it was really interesting.

Boeing said that Boeing has noticed the rapid development of COMAC, and Mr. Setins hopes to learn about the situation of COMAC through this visit to see if there is any opportunity for cooperation between the two sides......" Speaking of this, Kelly Hicks was quite proud on his face: "Boss, Boeing wants to cooperate with us." ”

"Boeing wants to cooperate with us?" Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "When did Boeing become so kind?"

"Huh?" Kelly Hicks was stunned for a moment, not reacting for a moment.

Chen Geng didn't mean to explain.

It was Kelly Hicks, although she was immersed in the excitement of Boeing taking the initiative to seek cooperation with Chen Geng at first, but seeing Chen Geng's indifferent expression, her heart trembled, and she suddenly realized that she had thought wrong, and things were not at all as she thought, so what was going on?

After all, he is also a top student from an Ivy League school, and after staying by Chen Geng's side for so many years, after the initial brief stunned, Kelly Hicks suddenly realized that something was wrong with her: "Ah...... I see, boss, Mr. Settings is really not bad. ”

"What do you say?" asked Chen Geng.

Is Vice President Patrick Settings really here to seek cooperation with COMAC?

No!

That's not the case at all!

For Boeing, which is now going all out to deal with McDonnell Douglas, their first target is McDonnell Douglas, and it is really difficult to free up their hands to deal with the commercial aviation group that intends to enter the field of trunk aircraft manufacturing, and it is the Tiangao emperor who is far from saying that it also has huge political connections in the United States, but this does not mean that Boeing is indifferent and indifferent to the move of COMAC to prepare to introduce Tu-204 aircraft from the Soviet Tupolev Design Bureau - in any case, the Tu-204 is also a similar to the Boeing 757. Is a 200-seat medium-range narrow-body trunk airliner good? For Boeing, which dares to produce 100-seat quasi-trunk aircraft, Fokker aircraft is using its political influence to desperately suppress it, can they sit idly by and watch COMAC develop larger, 200-seat mainline aircraft and remain indifferent?

Don't talk nonsense!

That's simply not possible!

Maybe Boeing has already written down the name of COMAC in its small ledger.

But for Boeing, the biggest problem now is that they are doing their best to deal with McDonnell Douglas, and they really can't spare their hands to deal with McDonnell Douglas, who is far away and not easy to bully.

The method is also very simple, since it is not easy to bully, then change the way of thinking: if you can use some benefits in exchange for COMAC to take the initiative to give up the mainline aircraft, you can also try it at the worst, and see if you can use some leftovers to live in the footsteps of COMAC to enter the mainline aircraft market...... There's nothing to lose anyway, right?

After listening to Kelly Hicks, Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "That's right, it should be like this,"

After a pause, Chen Geng continued: "But Boeing's face still has to be given, well, reply to Setins's office, and say that I will have time in a week." ”

Regarding Patrick Setins' visit, Chen Geng actually didn't take it too seriously.

The current Boeing, if you want to say that Niu X is also a real Niu X, is a well-deserved NO.1 in the field of civil aviation in the world, involved in the two major fields of civil aviation and military aviation, and has worked hard in the military and political circles for decades, and has deep connections;

But when it comes to absolute wealth, Boeing, which has a market value of just over $100 billion, is only comparable to AMC Automobile, one of Chen Geng's industries, and the other two companies under Chen Geng: a data research company focusing on software business and a computer research company focusing on hardware manufacturing, which was split off from a data research company, have combined their market value to exceed IBM, which has a market value of $50.873 billion, reaching an astonishing $52.275 billionThe top 10 in the market capitalization of the Poole 500, not to mention that Chen Geng has many other industries in addition to AMC and data research companies.

Therefore, it is not so much that Chen Geng regards Boeing as a thing, but that he is more jealous of the existence behind Boeing: the First Citi Consortium, one of the top ten conglomerates in the United States.

"Okay, I'll arrange it," Kelly Hicks nodded, "Then your meeting with Mr. Anthony Fokker tomorrow ......"

"Let's arrange it normally," Chen Geng said, "It is estimated that this guy is in a hurry now." ”

........................

Anthony Falk was indeed in a hurry, and after a few simple greetings, Anthony Falk said directly to Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, after our careful consideration and repeated cost accounting, we are willing to reduce the price by 20% on the basis of the previous quotation to help you design the F150, as for the other terms, in accordance with the intent agreement we initialed in the early stage of the F100 project cooperation, what do you think?"

No, it doesn't work directly, Anthony Fokker really can't help it, and the life of the current Fokker plane is really not good.

Listening to Anthony Fock's words, Chen Geng smiled secretly in his heart: You Fokker planes have known each other so well, why are there so many troubles?

Can you bow your head now?

It's late!

Do you know what this time and that time mean?

Under the gaze of Anthony Falk with a mixture of nervousness and expectation, Chen Geng slowly shook his head: "Mr. Fokker, I don't think it's necessary...... anymore"

"How can it not be necessary?" Anthony Fokker was anxious, but he pinned his hopes for reversing the predicament of the Fokker aircraft on this cooperation, and now Fernández Chen actually said that there was no need for cooperation? How can this be accepted? Anthony Fokker immediately said: "Mr. Fernandez, for this cooperation, our Fokker aircraft is indeed very sincere, we ...... it."

"Mr. Fokker, please listen to me," Chen Geng raised his hand and signaled Anthony Fokker not to be in a hurry first, but to listen to himself first: "You may already know that after the previous negotiations ended in failure, our COMAC Group has launched the first part of the F150's 'two-step' plan: by lengthening the front fuselage and the rear fuselage by 1.5 meters respectively, and lengthening the entire fuselage by 3 meters, adding 20 seats, that is, the F120 project.

Now the F120 is steadily advancing, all aspects are going smoothly together, our COMAC Group has also learned a lot of things in the implementation process of the F120 project, accumulated a lot of experience, through the F120 project, I think based on the F120, and then make an F150, completely within our own ability, in this case, we will not trouble Fokker aircraft. ”

“......”

Anthony Falk was spread on the ground, his face pale, his lips trembling, but he could not say a word.

On the basis of F100, an F120 was made by lengthening the front and rear fuselages by 1.5 meters, and then based on the F120, the front and rear fuselages were lengthened by 2 meters, and the F150 came out.

Of course, although the entire avionics system of the F150 F120 can be shared with the F100, and even the wing, flat tail and vertical tail assembly can also be shared with the F100, it still requires more thrust engines (it is indeed possible to do this, such as the Boeing 737 series, starting from the 700 with 140 seats in the all-economy high-density layout, all the way to the 737 max10 with 230 seats in the all-economy high-density layout, all the same wingspan, Vertical tail and flat tail, just replace the engine with greater thrust), it is conceivable that COMAC Group was not only able to successfully produce the 6500 kg thrust "tay" MK650-8C, but now even the 8500 kg thrust modification has entered the bench test stage, and when the F150 is successfully developed, the new engine with 8500 kg thrust has long been finalized and mass-produced.

At the thought of this, Anthony Falk didn't even have the courage to speak.

But at this time, Chen Geng spoke: "Of course, we are not without opportunities to cooperate. ”

"Huh?!"

Anthony Falk, who was originally disheartened and had even begun to consider whether to resign as chairman of the board of directors after going back, suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Geng when he heard Chen Geng's words: "Mr. Fernandez, what do you mean?"

"COMAC has the ability to develop this entry-level trunk aircraft, and we would like to thank Fokker Aircraft and Mr. Fokker for your help," Chen Geng said. Although we had some unpleasantness before, but in the cooperation, these unpleasantness are normal, in the final analysis, it is Fokker Aircraft that reached out to help us when we needed help the most, from this point of view, Fokker Aircraft and Mr. Fokker you, are our friends, since we are friends, in the case of friends in difficulty, of course we have to provide some help to friends. ”

“......”

Anthony Fokker was a little speechless, he was moved and ashamed in his heart, moved by Chen Geng's kindness to Fokker Aircraft, and ashamed of the attitude of Fokker Aircraft on the F150 project before: Is Mr. Fernandez going to lend money to Fokker Aircraft? If so, it would be great.

But at the same time, Anthony Faulk felt a little wrong in his heart: if it was really what you said, why didn't you say it before? What are you saying now?

Anthony Falk felt that Chen Geng didn't seem to be at ease - it turned out that Anthony Falk's feeling was right, Chen Geng was really not at ease.

"I think that the potential of the F100, F120 and F150 has not yet been fully developed, and in addition to having a place in the field of civil aviation, they should also have a place in some special-purpose warfare," Chen Geng continued with a smile: "For example, in many fields such as electronic reconnaissance, maritime anti-submarine and so on, Mr. Fock, what do you think?"

I knew it!

I knew the damn Fernández Chan wasn't so good!

Anthony Fock's mouth trembled, he finally knew what Chen Geng wanted to do: develop a military version of the F100 and subsequent derivative models!

According to the original agreement, the F100 aircraft produced by COMAC was limited to the field of civil aviation, that is, it could be used to carry passengers and cargo, and could not be used for military purposes.

Anthony Falk's mouth trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "I...... We can't do that......"
