"How can it be so cheap?"

Frank Robinson couldn't help but say, he couldn't help but think, if I relocate the factory to Huaxia, with Huaxia's ultra-low labor costs and huge tax incentives, even if you count the round-trip sea freight of spare parts and finished products, it will be much cheaper than producing in the United States, right?

Chen Geng shrugged his shoulders and did not answer directly, but said: "In recent years, the labor cost in Huaxia has actually risen a lot, and when I first went to Huaxia a few years ago, the monthly salary of the workers was less than 20 US dollars. ”

“......”

Frank Robinson didn't speak, but his eyes were faintly red: $20 a month...... What is the difference between not paying and not paying?

After more than ten seconds of silence, Frank Robinson opened his mouth and asked Chen Geng, "Mr. Fernandez, can I visit your factory in Huaxia?"

I know that Frank Robinson still doesn't trust his words, but it's completely understandable: why do you make me trust your words unreservedly, after all, we don't know each other. Chen Geng nodded happily: "Of course it's no problem, you can go over at any time that's convenient for you." ”

With Chen Geng's words, Frank Robinson felt a lot more relieved again.

Fernandez Chen's attitude says at least one thing, that he is confident in his products.

Thinking of this, Frank Robinson was a lot more confident in the future prospects of the cooperation between the two sides, and told himself that "working with Fernandez may also be a good choice", and he finally mentioned one of the things he was most concerned about before: "Mr. Fernandez, if we can cooperate, can we cooperate on a wider scale?"

"Oh, what do you say?" asked Chen Geng with interest.

Frank Robinson did not hide his thoughts: "If Robinson can get your help, he may be able to open up the market for public and private helicopters in the United States sooner." ”

This is to use his connections to sell more planes.

Chen Geng was not surprised by Frank Robinson's idea, in fact, he had already prepared for Frank Robinson's idea: "Of course there is no problem. ”

"Really? great......

"But if we have this kind of deep cooperation, our relationship will be more than just a relationship of engine supply and procurement. Chen Gengrao said meaningfully.

Frank Robinson was prepared for this, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "Don't you have a company that manufactures ultralight aircraft for trikes, paramotors, and gyroplanes? ”

This guy is really prepared!

Hearing Frank Robinson mention himself and Alex Goodrich's ultralight aircraft manufacturing company, where did Chen Geng not understand that Frank Robinson was ready to take this opportunity to climb the two big trees of himself and Alex Goodrich, and was ready to use his connections and energy with Alex Goodrich for his use?

I have to say, this idea of Frank Robinson is very bold!

Frankly speaking, Chen Geng, who was only thinking about selling engines, really didn't think about a share exchange with Robinson Helicopters, but Frank Robinson's suggestion reminded him: since they are planning to cooperate with Robinson Helicopters, why not further deepen the cooperation?

The two sides cross-sharehold, of course, there are advantages, the biggest advantage is to increase their own voice in Robinson Helicopter Company, which is very good for their own sales of engines; there are benefits and disadvantages, and the disadvantage is to let Robinson take the train between himself and Alex Goodrich - of course, this cannot be said to be purely good or bad, after all, after cross-shareholding, the better Robinson Helicopter Company develops, the more dividends he and Alex Goodrich can get.

Chen Geng thought for a while, and instead of answering Frank Robinson directly, he said, "I need to discuss with my partner before I can answer you." ”

Frank Robinson naturally knew that Chen Geng's so-called partner was Michigan State Treasury Secretary Alex Goodrich, and he didn't expect Chen Geng to agree to him immediately, and it was already very good that the other party was willing to consider it.

Immediately smiled and nodded to show that he fully understood Chen Geng's approach, and after saying this, Frank Robinson immediately asked Chen Geng: "By the way, Mr. Fernandez, about the bidding for the Grand Rapids police helicopter...... No problem, right?"

He still remembered that the Grand Rapids police were going to purchase five police helicopters this time.

Chen Geng asked in surprise: "Is there any problem with the procurement of police helicopters in Grand Rapids?"

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

Regarding the cross-shareholding with Robinson Helicopter Company, Chen Geng courtesically consulted Alex Goodrich, a shareholder, who is very clear that he actually only has the right to dividends in the company and has a very clear understanding of his own management ability, Alex Goodrich clearly said that you don't need to ask me about this kind of thing, you can make your own decisions.

At the same time, Alex Goodrich asked Chen Geng curiously, "Sir, which is your next target?"

"Huh?"

Chen Geng didn't quite understand what Alex Goodrich meant.

"What's next," Alex Goodrich said, gesturing, "Now that you've got Robinson Helicopters, who's next?" Cessna or Beechcraft?"

In Alex Goodrich's view, after taking over Robinson Helicopters, his next target must be the two largest aircraft manufacturers in the United States for private users: Cessna Aircraft Company and Beechcraft Aircraft Manufacturing Company.

But Chen Geng's reaction was greatly unexpected by Alex Goodrich, and he shook his head: "No, it's no one, that's it, there is no other goal." ”

"No other goals?"

Alex Goodrich looked at Chen Geng in surprise, a little puzzled why his boss didn't do anything to Cessna and Beechcraft: "Both companies have a large number of fixed-wing aircraft with piston aero engines, right?"

"Heh......"

The corners of Chen Geng's mouth twitched twice: "Cessna was just acquired by General Dynamics Group last year, don't tell me you haven't heard the name of General Dynamics Group." ”

Alex Goodrich: "......"

How could he not have heard of the name of the General Dynamics Group? The General Dynamics Group is one of the top 10 defense contractors in the United States, and they produce the F-16, the most advanced and representative third-generation fighter jet today.

After learning that Cessna's father was actually General Dynamics, Alex Goodrich instantly understood why his financier didn't dare to use the same methods against Robinson Helicopter as against Cessna Aircraft Company.

"Well, General Dynamics Group is really not easy to mess with, we can't use the same means against Robinson against Cessna planes," Alex Goodrich was a little unconvinced: "So who is Beechcraft's father? It can't be some defense contractor too?"

"You guessed right," Chen Geng looked at Alex Goodrich with an expression of "things can't be so coincidental", and gloated: "Beechcraft's father is Raytheon Group, maybe Raytheon Group is a little easier to bully than General Dynamics Group?"

Alex Goodrich: "......"

Okay!

Whether it is Raytheon Group or General Dynamics Group, they are the top ten top defense contractors and top military defense groups in the United States, and they are all super terrifying existences that can influence the direction of US policy and even decide a war.

After knowing the background of the Cessna plane and the Beechcraft plane, Alex Goodrich had a kind of "Fortunately, Lao Tzu didn't stretch his feet, otherwise in the face of these two super iron plates, Lao Tzu would not know how to die".

He knows very well in his heart, but in the face of super defense contractors like Thor and General Dynamics, let alone himself, even if it is his own financier: Mr. Fernández Chen Geng, a super billionaire who is worth a lot of money and has a lot of influence in the United States, must honestly retract his claws, otherwise he doesn't know how he died-people have guns in their hands, isn't it good to live well, why provoke those bastards who can destroy you humanely at every turn?

You may wonder if Alex Goodrich doesn't know that Cessna Aircraft and Beechcraft Aircraft are fathers of General Dynamics and Raytheon, respectively, and how could he make such a childish, almost fatal mistake?

This is actually not surprising, although the Raytheon Group and the General Dynamics Group are terrifying, but their subsidiaries, holding companies, and indirect holdings are tens of thousands, who can remember the name of each and every one of the subsidiaries of these super-large military-industrial complex?

You can't.

Alex Goodrich, of course, couldn't either.

Even Chen Geng can't, Chen Geng did hit the idea of the Cessna plane and the Beechcraft plane at the beginning, if he hadn't asked Kelly Hicks to submit an investigation report on these two companies to himself in advance, Chen Geng would have taken action against these two companies, but now......

"Okay, don't think about it so much," Chen Geng patted Alex Goodrich on the shoulder and persuaded: "Alex, you have to know that money is endless, rather than taking the initiative to find the door now, it is better to wait for our engine to become famous in a few years, and wait for Cessna and Beechcraft to take the initiative to come to the door to cooperate with us, do you think this is the truth?"

Alex Goodrich wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded happily: "That's all it takes." ”
