Chapter 3987: Do as Lin Feng Says
President Clark thought about it and agreed with Vice President Redha's suggestion. After all, this is related to the future of Emirates Airlines, and it must not be done hastily. This matter must be consulted with Chief Hamdan.
"Chief Hamdan, this is Clark, I have something to report to you!" President Clark called Chief Hamdan and told him the whole story.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. Hearing the silence on the phone, Vice President Redha was secretly happy. Since Chief Hamdan and Lin Feng are friends of life and death, Chief Hamdan is silent now, obviously considering it. Since he is considering it, it means that he is struggling in his heart. Facing the critical moment of Emirates Airlines, Vice President Redha believes that Chief Hamdan will definitely make a rational and wise decision.
After a while, Chief Hamdan's voice came.
"What did Lin Feng say originally? I want you to repeat it word for word!" Chief Hamdan asked.
President Clark nodded, and then repeated Lin Feng's original words - President Tim Clark, hello, I am Lin Feng, I know that your company is negotiating an aircraft order contract with Boeing, and I am now negotiating the same contract with you on behalf of Airbus. However, I can't come back for the time being, but I can promise you that no matter what conditions Boeing gives you, I can give you better! In short, before I come back, you can't agree to any conditions from Boeing.
Listening to President Clark's efforts to simulate Lin Feng's tone, although not as domineering and arrogant as Lin Feng's original tone, Vice President Redha still felt unhappy. This is too domineering and arrogant. I think Chief Hamdan must be very angry and unhappy after hearing this. After all, he is the Chief of Dubai, so he can't allow others to be so arrogant. Even if the two are friends of life and death, you can't talk like this.
Sure enough. Chief Hamdan was silent again. Now, Vice President Redha was full of joy. He believed that Chief Hamdan would definitely refuse and allow them to continue negotiating with Boeing.
After a period of silence, Chief Hamdan's voice came again.
"Do as Lin Feng said!" Hamdan's voice was light and calm, but one sentence made Vice President Redha crazy.
"Chief, what did you say?" Vice President Redha exclaimed.
"Who is the one who spoke? So rude!" Chief Hamdan shouted coldly.
"Chief Hamdan, he is Vice President Redha. He is negotiating with Boeing." President Clark hurriedly explained.
"Vice President Redha, I know you are the company's chief operating officer and responsible for the company's purchase of aircraft, but I say it again,
Do as Lin Feng said. This time you offended me so much, forget it. There will be a next time, I will never let you off easily!" Chief Hamdan shouted coldly.
In Dubai, or in the whole of West Asia, it is a world with strict hierarchy. The lower level must never offend the upper level. This is why many Western companies open companies here and would rather recruit foreigners from thousands of miles away. They are not willing to recruit locals. This hierarchy is too strict and incompatible with Western modern civilization. The concepts of both sides are too different, and they can't integrate together. Similarly, foreigners usually can't adapt to companies opened by locals. Emirates Airlines is basically all locals, no foreigners.
Vice President Redha's questioning just now has violated taboos.
"Chief Hamdan. I apologize for my impoliteness just now. But I don't understand. Lin Feng's request is too much. Boeing is the company with the most mature technology and the highest market share in the world today, and our company is in urgent need of development and completely overwhelms Emirates United Airlines. At this time. We should negotiate with Boeing and upgrade our aircraft as soon as possible. Lin Feng's side, not sending people to negotiate, is just a word. Let us stop negotiating with Lin Feng. What if in the end, we anger Boeing and stop cooperating with us, and the quality of the "Airbus" aircraft represented by Lin Feng is not good, what should we do?" Vice President Redha said anxiously. This is related to his vital interests. He must not give up the 0.5% dividend easily.
"Shut up! I'll say it again, do what Lin Feng said. If you say anything else, get out!" Chief Hamdan shouted coldly, "Clark, stop the negotiations with Boeing before Lin Feng comes." After that, Chief Hamdan hung up the phone.
"Chief, Chief!" Vice President Reidha shouted, but the phone was hung up at this moment, and Chief Hamdan couldn't hear anything. Vice President Reidha was furious, "President Clark, tell me, what is this matter? Lin Feng is so domineering, how can this chief agree and issue such an order? How can I negotiate with the other party? What reason can I use to negotiate with the other party? Tell me, what's the point of me being an operations officer! This chief doesn't understand business at all, just..."
"Okay, Vice President Reidha, shut up, don't criticize the chief here, you are committing a big taboo. I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now. If you say it again, I will not be polite." President Clark shouted coldly, interrupting Vice President Reidha's madness.
Vice President Reidha's face changed several times, but he finally controlled his anger.
"Then President Clark, tell me now, how should I negotiate with Boeing? How should I tell them to stop the negotiations now? What reason should I use?" Vice President Reidha said coldly.
"It's very simple. Just tell them that we can't negotiate with them before Lin Feng comes." President Clark said lightly, "Since the chief has made a decision on this matter, everything should be done according to what the chief says. This company belongs to the chief, and we must obey the chief's wishes!"
"But Boeing will not give up easily!" Vice President Reidha argued.
"Boeing will not give up easily. Do we need to care about their attitude? Don't forget that we are buyers and they are sellers. If they want to make money from us, they have to look at our face!" President Clark said proudly. As a West Asian, he naturally has the pride of West Asians.
Of course, the outside world says that West Asia only makes a fortune by relying on oil and is a nouveau riche. But what about nouveau riche? The problem now is that they have money. You are noble, you are aristocrats, you look down on us, if you have the ability, don't do business with us, if you have the ability, don't make money from us, if you have the ability, don't use our oil!
Vice President Reidha was silent.
"Okay, Vice President Reidha, you can leave. Remember, we West Asians never need to explain to anyone. The US dollar is our explanation!" President Clark said with his hands behind his back.
Vice President Reidha left in a huff. Then, he rushed to the Sailboat Hotel and met with Philip Conti, President of Boeing, and his party.
"Vice President Reidha, how is it, do you have good news for us? This time we are very sincere. All aircraft are at the most favorable prices, and we will provide you with free flight training and lifelong maintenance." Philip Conti laughed when he saw Vice President Reidha.
However, Vice President Reidha had a bitter smile on his face.
"What's wrong? Has something changed? President Clark disagrees?" Philip Conti saw that Vice President Reidha looked abnormal and asked in surprise.
Alas! Vice President Reidha sighed.
"Things were going well, and I was about to convince the president to accept your order, but because of a phone call, the president changed his mind and said that he would temporarily suspend negotiations with you!" Vice President Reidha smiled bitterly.
Just now he was discussing this matter with President Clark in the office. The two sides have almost reached a consensus. They just need to negotiate with Boeing on the final details. After all, Boeing is indeed very sincere this time, and Emirates Airlines does need to upgrade its aircraft. However, at this critical moment, Lin Feng's phone call ruined everything.
"What happened?" Philip Condy guessed, "Could it be that your company's boss, Chief Hamdan, is not satisfied with our offer?"
"No. It has nothing to do with our chief, no, it also has something to do with him." Vice President Lederha's words confused Philip Condy. How could he hear this? How puzzling, what exactly happened?
"It's Lin Feng!" Vice President Lederha said dejectedly.
Lin Feng? What does this have to do with Lin Feng? Vice President Lederha exclaimed.
"Lin Feng called and said that before he comes back to negotiate with us, we can't agree to any of your conditions or reach any agreement with you. He also said that no matter what conditions you offer, he will offer better conditions on behalf of Airbus!" Vice President Reidha repeated Lin Feng's words.
"What! This kid is too much!" Philip Conti slammed the table and stood up, his hair standing on end.
Lin Feng's words were too arrogant and too overbearing. If he said this to others, it would be ok, but he represented Boeing, which is a Fortune 500 company, and not just a company, but also a US military enterprise that develops fighter jets for the United States and has a certain influence in the US Congress. But in the end, Lin Feng was so arrogant, which was simply too much.
"Did your company agree?" Philip Conti asked with a frown.
"I didn't want to agree, but after President Clark asked Chief Hamdan, Chief Hamdan agreed and said to do as Lin Feng said. So, I hurried over to inform you." Vice President Ledha said flatteringly.
Philip Condi's face suddenly turned liver-colored. This is too bullying, really too bullying.
"Mr. Condi, I'm sorry, I can't do anything about this for the time being. But if there are any changes, I will tell you as soon as possible. I'll leave first!" Vice President Ledha saw that Philip Condi looked unfriendly and hurriedly made an excuse to leave. He didn't want to bear Philip Condi's anger here. To be continued.
