Chapter 503

The McDonnell Douglas engineer didn't catch the implication of Forsyth's words. When Liszt responded, he gave a cold hum: "I really don't think this is a good way. What we need to do now is to contact the United States as soon as possible and let the headquarters charter flights to transport parts as soon as possible. Although the cost will be huge, it is the safest way..."

"No!" As soon as engineer McDonnell was halfway through, he was rudely interrupted by FOSS: "the safest way is to try to please your customers, not how to save your aircraft. After all, in the eyes of customers, expensive aircraft is also a commodity, so..."

FOSS said, looking up at engineer McDonnell with a puzzled face, and unquestionably said, "there are some risks we have to take."

After hearing this, engineer McDonnell immediately changed from doubt to shock, while Liszt, next to him, turned his mouth imperceptibly.

When he reported just now, although he didn't shy away from the McDonnell Douglas Engineer in front of him, he polished the wording and key words. As the sales director of McDonnell Douglas, Forsyth is very versatile and naturally can understand the meaning of Liszt's words.

That's the situation. No matter how bad it is, it can't be any worse. Why not take the opportunity to introduce Chinese partners to participate in the maintenance of DC-10?

If it's natural, it doesn't matter if it's not repaired. Anyway, it needs the support of McDonnell Douglas in the United States.

Whether it is successful or not, McDonnell Douglas's all-round open attitude and support for China's policy of market for technology in civil aviation are bound to win China's favor at the decision-making level. If the operation is good, the DC-10 fault will not become a scandal of McDonnell Douglas, but will become a model for McDonnell Douglas to quickly open up China's wide body trunk airliner market.

After all, China's civil aviation is different from the western world. Administrative instructions are dominant, not determined by market rules. Therefore, as long as we can grasp the essence of China's civil aviation market to change technology, we will not be at a disadvantage.

If FOSS can be the sales director of McDonnell Douglas, it's not a fool. If we take a closer look at Liszt's implication, we feel that this method is feasible. It's to let Chinese manufacturers participate in the maintenance of DC-10, but without losing a piece of meat, how can we not let Chinese people make trouble?

As long as we can sell McDonnell Douglas's wide bodied trunk airliner to China, let alone let Chinese manufacturers repair the plane, we will tear down the DC-10 in front of us. FOSS is not distressed. It's a lot of US $226 million, but compared with more than US $40 billion, it's really not enough.

However, these implicit meanings are more difficult for McDonnell Douglas engineers to understand than finite element method and structural model. They simply don't understand what they mean. They think that Liszt's idea is bad, while FOSS's idea is desperate. In a word, both of them are crazy.

Seeing that the two of them were in collusion with each other, they were so angry that they were not as high in position and power as FOSS. At last, they said angrily, "I hope you are right, Mr. FOSS, but I want to emphasize that if the loss of this DC-10 is enlarged or completely damaged due to the nonsense of Chinese manufacturers, I will Go beyond the management and appeal directly to the board of directors. Believe me, Mr. Fox, as a responsible McDonnell engineer, I have such right. "

Putting down such a cold word, the McDonnell Douglas engineer turned around and walked towards the engine room without looking back. Obviously, he didn't want to join in the crazy action of FOSS. He just waited for his inability to clean up and then told the McDonnell Douglas board of directors about FOSS.

"Mr. Fox, I can't, just..."

Looking at the back of engineer McDonnell leaving with his face extremely ugly and his eyes almost burning, Liszt was just about to finish two sentences, but was interrupted by his hand: "those high-ranking engineers never know what commercial value is. They only know how many shapes a piece of steel plate is made, but they never think about what they need to do How much money to support, so don't worry about it. The board of directors knows the importance of profit better than I do. "

With that, fox's mood finally calmed down a lot, and then turned to Liszt: "it's you, Liszt. I didn't expect that you still have personal relations with the person in charge of Chinese aviation manufacturers?"

"It's not personal, it's just an acquaintance. At that time, I was purchasing composite materials in Japan. Zhuang and I participated in the bidding in Toray company in Japan. We met at that time. Later, he purchased some production equipment and raw materials from me, and then he didn't contact me. I didn't expect to meet him here again."

Of course, Liszt couldn't tell the truth to FOSS. After a brief talk, he turned away from the topic and said, "Oh, by the way, Mr. FOSS, the leader of CAAC may come tomorrow, and we may have to be ready."

Fox asked out of curiosity, but didn't mean to continue to explore. After all, fox still valued Liszt very much. Anyway, he was also the CEO of H company. He had no ability to say. As long as he could put aside the past and be honest under his hands, he didn't mind training Liszt to be his successor.

Therefore, even if the situation is revealed, the leader of CAAC is the focus of his concern, so he nodded: "well, I'll think about this. Oh, by the way, when will their APU arrive?""Just now, which person in charge of them told me that as long as you agree, the standby APU auxiliary power unit will be delivered before four o'clock tomorrow." Lister responded positively.

"Yes, just follow their plan." Fox pondered for a moment, and finally nodded his head.

……

"Xiaozhuang, are you sure to repair such a large plane?"

The next day, in the sun, the head of the Navy looked at the damaged DC-10 and asked again the question that Zhuang Jianye's ears were almost worn out. Although the answer was almost disgusting, Zhuang Jianye still put on a lonely posture and shook his head with a bitter smile: "we can't help it. Over the years, we've only been engaged in foreign trade We are known by all the big companies and enterprises abroad, but the domestic enterprises and institutions know little about us.

Chief, as you saw last night, people from McDonnell Douglas company came to me directly and asked me to help them repair their planes. To tell you the truth, if you didn't like our 229 plan here, we wouldn't be happy to take this job. It's not more comfortable to build our own anti submarine patrol plane than to repair foreign planes? Unfortunately Alas Anyway, I don't have much work to do. I have a lot of skills, so I can only help foreigners repair airplanes and beg for food. "

Zhuang Jianye almost said that we can handle even a large aircraft weighing hundreds of tons. What's a light flight platform with a take-off weight of less than 20 tons? Your navy still doesn't believe it. Look at other people's McDonnell Douglas, a super aviation giant, who are also on the pole to ask for maintenance?

Of course, the head of the Navy understood this, and immediately his old face turned blue and red, which was wonderful.
