Chapter 941: Helping others is helping oneself

But Anthony Falk is Anthony Falk after all, over the years, Falkland-United Aviation Technologies has been able to occupy a stable place in the market under the attack of giants such as Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, Anthony Falk can be said to have made great contributions, although Kelly Hicks's news made Anthony Fock's eyes black, but it was not unbearable, rubbed his eyebrows, and finally calmed down, Anthony Falk said categorically: "I have to see Fernandes." ”

Hearing Anthony Folk's words, Jack Schwarzer was stunned for a moment: he didn't expect that the chairman would have to make a final effort when Fernandez Chen so clearly refused. For a while, he was moved and surprised, and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Fokker, Fernandez Chen has already made it clear that he doesn't want to cooperate with us, and you still ......."

"How can I be willing to bow my head and beg for help?" Anthony Falk shook his head with a wry smile, sighed, and said helplessly: "The situation in front of us now is that we can either cooperate with COMAC and make a sum of money from them, or accept the conditions offered by the government...... Which of these two paths do you think is better to take?"

“......”

Jack Schwarzer was dumbfounded: What the chairman said was that it would be more reliable to either find a way to persuade Fernandez Chen, or accept the Dutch government's conditions, or find a way to persuade Fernandez Chen.

Prior to this, Falkland-United Aviation Technologies had not asked the Dutch government for help, originally thinking that the Fokker aircraft was the national business card of the Netherlands, and the country should help in the face of the difficulties encountered by the Fokker aircraft, but the reality of the situation made the Fokker aircraft disappointed up and down: the Dutch government did say that it could help the Fokker aircraft get through the difficulties, but the condition was that the Fokker aircraft must find a strategic partner.

This is actually not a problem, with the cooperation between Fokker Aircraft and Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Group and Fernandez Chen's unfathomable deep strength, it is the best way to cooperate directly with COMAC, but the Dutch government has added a restriction later: except for Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Industry Group.

This is almost a requirement for Fokker to become the holding company of Deutsche Cosmos, a subgroup of the German Daimler Group.

It is said that this request is outrageous, and the Fokker aircraft is also a Dutch enterprise itself, so how could the Dutch government make such an outrageous request? But it would not be strange at all if we knew the relationship between the Dutch royal family and the German neo-Junker aristocracy.

It's just that the problem is that the Dutch royal family and the German neo-Junker aristocracy have their own plans, but Falkland-United Airlines is also unwilling to accept the conditions proposed by the Dutch government.

"Cooperation with COMAC is the key to reversing our predicament," looking at Jack Schwarzer, who was anxious and extremely helpless, Anthony Falk continued: "Although Fernandez Chen said that he would not cooperate with us again, but in the words of the Chinese, it is 'this time and that time', our asking price was too high before, with Fernandez Chen's pride, of course he would not agree, but if our current asking price is the normal market price, will he Fernandez Chen refuse without hesitation?"

Jack Schwarzer also agrees with his chairman's statement, this time and that time, although the previous talks between COMAC and Fokker Aircraft collapsed, but cooperation is not a child's house, the previous talks collapsed, and now it is not impossible to talk about it, as long as the conditions are right, what is more than not to talk about? The only question is: "That's the case, but boss, after all, we had a very unpleasant relationship with Mr. Fernandez, this ......"

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal," Anthony Fokker waved his hand and said: "Don't forget, we Fokker Aircraft and COMAC have three common enemies: Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus, our 100-seat F100 has been suppressed by these three giants, he Fernandez Chen wants to make a 150-seat F150, but he directly grabs meat from Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus bowls."

Not to mention that he still wants to import the Tu-204 from the Soviet Union, which is a large trunk aircraft of the Boeing 757 class, don't look at the current Boeing and McDonnell Douglas are fighting to the death, but if COMAC does not succeed in reaching an agreement with the Tupolev Design Bureau, it will be fine, if it is really reached, hehe......

Do you think Boeing, Airbus and McDonnell Douglas can sit back and watch this happen?"

Anthony Falk gloated with a look of schadenfreude.

This is also the confidence for him to dare to discuss cooperation with Chen Geng again: everyone is a poor sour who is begging for food under the giants, hugging a group and getting warm?

That's right!

Jack Schwarzer suddenly realized, and looked at Anthony Fock's eyes full of admiration: How can I forget, how can Boeing, Airbus and McDonnell Douglas sit back and watch COMAC import Boeing 757-class Tu-204 aircraft from the Soviet Union?

As for the fact that Chen Geng's high-level energy in the American political circles is not small, Jack Schwarzer is not worried: I don't look at how many years he Fernandez Chen has worked in the American political circles, and how many years of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas giants have worked in the American political and military circles.

In the end, won't he Fernández Chan still have to work with our Fokker aircraft?

Thinking of this, Jack Schwarzer finally put his mind at ease and laughed.

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

"That Fokker guy, still don't give up?" Chen Geng was a little surprised when Kelly Hicks reported to him that Anthony Fokker wanted to talk to him about cooperation. However, he was surprised to be surprised, and he also knew the current situation of Fokker Aircraft, so he shook his head with a smile: "Why did you know today?"

When Lao Tzu proposed to develop the 150-seat F150 based on the F100, by sharing the wings, tail, vertical tail and electronic system components with the F100, lengthening the fuselage and replacing the engine with greater thrust, you don't want to ask for a sky-high price while agreeing, the problem has already been solved.

"If you have such a long-term vision, why would they look like they are half dead like they are now?" Kelly Hicks laughed, proud and proud: "That...... Boss, when do you see them in your hand?"

"In a week," Chen Geng thought for a while, and said, "In a week, we should also leave the Soviet Union, and you tell Mr. Falk that I will wait for him in New York." ”

"Okay," said Kelly Hicks, hastily jotting it down, "and one more thing, Mr. MacDonald Jr.'s office has contacted you, and I hope ...... it."

"I see," before Kelly Hicks could finish speaking, Chen Geng said, "They want to raise money from me, right?"

Kelly Hicks nodded hurriedly: "Yes." ”

Speaking of which, under the squeeze of Boeing, McDonnell Donnell Doesnnell Doesnnell Douglas has had a very difficult time in recent years, not only the market share has been declining, but the stock price has made McDonnell Twenty's top executives anxious, but at this time, S&P has also downgraded McDonnell Donnell's credit rating, resulting in McDonnell Donnell Douglas becoming more and more difficult to finance.

In this case, a dead cycle emerged: McDonnell Douglas encountered difficulties → needed money to solve the difficulties→ because McDonnell Douglas encountered difficulties, the financial structure and banks were worried about McDonnell Douglas' ability to repay, and they refused to lend money to McDonnell Douglas→ because they could not borrow money, McDonnell Douglas could not solve the problems encountered, and the situation became more and more difficult→ because the situation became more and more difficult, the credit rating agency took the initiative to lower McDonnell Douglas's credit rating→ because the credit rating was reduced, McDonnell Douglas was more and more unable to borrow money, so it became more and more difficult......

In this case, Mr. McDonald Jr., the president of McDonnell Douglas, finally thought of his old friend, Chen Geng, and hoped to get a sum of money from Chen Geng.

"Let them wait," Chen Geng said, "just say I'm still thinking about it." ”

"Are you really going to lend them the money?" Hearing the hesitation in Chen Geng's tone, Kelly Hicks was a little surprised: "Boss, I know that you have a very good personal friendship with Mr. MacDonald Jr., but this matter is ......"

"I understand what you mean, McDonnell Douglas is really difficult now, and if I lend them money, maybe their ability to repay is really worrying," Chen Geng smiled and patted Kelly Hicks's hand, signaling her to be calm: "But have you thought about a question, if McDonnell Douglas is really merged by Boeing, is it a good thing or a bad thing for us?"

“......”

Kelly Hicks opened her mouth slightly, speechless in shock: yes, how did I forget this layer?

Over the years, Boeing's biggest rival in the world has not been Europe's Airbus, nor the Soviet Union's Tupolev and Ilyushin Design Bureaus, nor the collapsed Lockheed Civil Aircraft Division, but the once largest American civil aircraft manufacturer: McDonnell Douglas.

Or it can be said that after the merger of Douglas Company, if McDonald Company successfully completes the integration, the absolute boss of the global civil aviation market is McDonnell Douglas, but unfortunately, those guys in Douglas Company are really not cooperative, so that although the current company is called McDonnell Douglas, the original part of Douglas Company is more "stop and do not listen to the announcement", the merger of the two companies is not not the result of 1 + 2 is greater than 2, but 1 + 1 is far less than 2.

As McDonnell Douglas' market share continues to decline, just two years ago, Boeing finally showed its claws: it wanted to buy some of McDonnell Douglas's shares.

Although this request was rejected by Mr. McDonald Jr. without hesitation, as Chen Geng's assistant, Kelly Hicks of course knew that Boeing was planning to acquire McDonnell Douglas for not a day or two, and in the next few days, Boeing would inevitably use various means to suppress McDonnell Douglas, and their goal was to swallow McDonnell Douglas in one gulp.

If Mr. Fernandez hadn't been involved in the aviation industry, it would have been a big deal, and once Boeing had successfully annexed McDonnell Douglas......

Kelly Hicks' little face was a little pale.

"Do you understand?" Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "Don't you know that our COMAC Group is marching into the mainline aircraft market?" No, they know that the reason why they know that they haven't taken any action yet is because now Boeing's main energy is on how to annex McDonnell Douglas, and it is more important to annex McDonnell Douglas than anything else in Boeing's top management, even if we are allowed to develop at this time, after all, as long as they annex McDonnell Douglas, they can completely free up their hands to clean us up, but now, their main goal is still McDonnell Douglas. ”

Therefore, for COMAC Group and Chen Geng, helping McDonnell Douglas at this time and letting McDonnell Douglas last a few more years is actually helping himself.
