Li Yifan really didn't expect that Heidi was actually one of the shareholders of Airbus. However, when he thought about his father's identity and status as an invisible rich man, and when he thought about the invisible rich man in Europe, he was used to this fact.
However, Luo Jiu's request still surprised Li Yifan. He didn't expect that this guy was not a particularly idiot, and he even knew how to put his ideas on Heidi's head.
Airbus and Boeing are the two giants in the world's aircraft manufacturing industries, but they are also two regulating valves for China to regulate relations with Europe and the United States.
Whenever the United States puts pressure on China in international politics or business, senior Chinese government officials will visit Europe. While signing a basket of shopping agreements, both parties will also give each other some commercial preferential policies, etc., and at the same time, they will also receive support from Europe in international affairs to alleviate the pressure from Americans.
When Europeans put pressure on China in politics or business, senior Chinese officials will also visit the United States and sign a basket of important shopping agreements with Americans, as well as some commercial preferential policies, to win the support of Americans in international affairs.
In recent years, senior officials of the Chinese government have been perfect in this regard. Of course, in the past two years, China has caused a large surplus to Europe and the United States in terms of foreign trade exports, which is also the main reason why Europe and the United States frequently put pressure on China.
In order to alleviate the pressure from Europe and the United States, the Chinese government often gives the green light to exports from Europe and the United States in terms of what they need.
Because high-precision CNC machine tools, etc., there are many sensitive high-tech products, as well as production and manufacturing equipment, which are strictly controlled by Europe and the United States, the only foreign large-scale transactions that China can purchase are large aircraft.
In addition, the domestic aviation industry has been developing rapidly in recent years, so when senior Chinese officials were in kitchens, Europe and the United States, they liked to buy European and American products to balance trade, which were large aircraft.
Such large aircraft are often priced at tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars internationally. However, those who have done this business know that such large-scale transactions of such aircraft can actually be bargained, and because of the different purchase quantity, the price fluctuations are still very large.
Although the habits of doing business from European and American merchants, there is never a saying of fixed price when it comes to aircraft sales. If one party really needs it, then when the bargaining is made, both parties will often bargain with the hawkers on the market.
We didn't understand the channels in the past, so we really spent a lot of money when buying large planes. However, in recent years, with the deepening of China's openness and familiarity with international trade rules, we also understand these channels.
When buying a plane, they often bargain with the other party. Although it is much more cost-effective than before, relatively speaking, some people in the domestic aviation industry still feel that they are at a disadvantage.
After all, I have negotiated several times with the French, but the prices after several negotiations are not very consistent. We have never figured out the bottom line of the French.
This trip also had political purposes. It was a foregone conclusion to buy French planes, but it is hard to say what price to buy them.
In recent times, the people from this delegation have been working hard to prepare for this visit, and it has become a major task to understand the bottom line of the French to prevent being slaughtered too much by the French.
Luo Jiu also noticed this incident. He realized that this was a very good opportunity for him. If he could help figure out this data, it would be an absolute benefit for his future career.
In fact, when Heidi just arrived in the capital, many people had noticed her, but no one dared to do too many actions. After all, Heidi is a European and is also a shareholder of Airbus. He has no obligation to leak the business secrets of his company to you.
Besides, if she did this, it means she is a fool. If she has revealed the French bottom line, as a shareholder, she will make a lot less money. How can people do such a thing?
If Mao rashly goes to Heidi to talk about this matter, it may cause disgust from others and lead to difficulties in the subsequent negotiations. Therefore, those who have had this idea will soon cease.
But Luo Jiu noticed something that others didn't notice, that is, Heidi was very close to a Chinese. Since Heidi's route was not easy, it did not prevent him from following the Chinese route.
If we could put some words out of the Chinese, it would be a huge success, and the most important thing is that this person is a Chinese, and compared to Heidi, it is relatively easy to control.
And this Chinese man is Li Yifan sitting in front of him.
"Haha, Brother Luo, have you found the wrong person this time? It's true that Heidi is a shareholder of Airbus, but think about it, how could she reveal the bottom line of the French to us this time? Isn't this disguised helping us cheat herself? How could someone do such a thing?"
Li Yifan pondered for a while, roughly figured out the relationship here, and said to Luo Jiu with a smile.
"Hehe, brother, don't worry, if Duke Heidi agrees, how could we treat her badly? Don't worry, as long as you can persuade her, our country will definitely give her corresponding compensation, and these compensations will definitely not be lower than her losses on Airbus!"
Luo Jiu said to Li Yifan with confidence that in fact, this visit to Europe has a more political significance. In fact, no matter how much the French bid, domestic visiting groups will agree in the end.
However, in order not to be stung by others after coming back, they are not called incompetent stolen from the country. Therefore, of course, the lower the price of the French, the better, and the lower the price, the more they can make these people in the country think that we are capable. This is also one of the achievements of the main members of the visiting group, and it will have great benefits for these people's future career promotion.
So they actually don’t care how much they spend. They only care about that reputation. If they can make up their reputation, they don’t care at all even if they are losses outside the wall or compensated within the wall.
Even if the compensation for Heidi is far higher than the money she lost in Europe Airbus, these officials don’t care. All they care about is their reputation and their abilities in the eyes of higher-level officials!
Luo Jiu's words were already very straightforward. Li Yifan could not understand this, but Heidi had to agree in the end. Although he also believed that doing so would obviously benefit Heidi, if Heidi did not make the decision in the end, it would be in vain.
"Well, if that's the case, then I can help you test it with the Duke of Leroy. But Brother Luo, I don't dare to guarantee you, after all, this matter is very sensitive."
Li Yifan thought about it and felt that this matter was only good but not bad for Heidi, so he said to Luo Jiu.
When Luo Jiu heard Li Yifan agree, he was immediately happy. No matter whether this matter was successful or not, as long as he could get along with this relationship, there would be more useful things in the future. You should know that many European technologies in China are eager to seek talents, such as telling trains and high-precision machine tools. Even if this transaction is not successful, as long as he gets involved in Heidi's relationship, many things will be in trouble in the future.
"Don't worry, Xiao Li, this matter cannot be done in vain. When you go back, tell Duke Leroy that she can mention any conditions, and we will definitely do our best to satisfy her. If the transaction fails, benevolence and righteousness are there. No matter whether the business is completed or not, she will become our good friend who has passed the people..."
Luo Jiu said and squeezed his eyes at Li Yifan. The meaning of the hidden rules was very clear, and Li Yifan just smiled and said nothing.
After the main talks, I had almost finished eating and drinking. Li Yifan refused Luo Jiu's invitation to go out with Hapi, left the private dish directly, and then returned to his own house.
Heidi went to Xiangjiang a few days ago, but this matter cannot be waited. After all, the visiting group will set off in a few days, and they are still in a hurry to wait for news.
Li Yifan had to call Heidi and signaled her to come back first. Fortunately, the flights between Xiangjiang and Beijing were very dense at this time, and it took more than two hours to arrive from Xiangjiang to Beijing.
Heidi heard that Li Yifan had an important discussion on the side of the house, but she was not pretentious. She arrived in the capital that night, but she came back this time with a relatively secret, not as big as before, nor did she bring bodyguards. After Li Yifan received Heidi at the airport, she drove back directly to his home in Guangjing Haoting, and did not stay in a hotel this time.
When he got home, he first had a good time, and then he lay on the bed and started talking about the serious matters. Li Yifan told Heidi about Luo Jiu meeting him today, and also told Heidi about their purpose. Whether this matter was complete depends on Heidi's meaning. He was just a messenger.
"Yes, why not? You know, I am just an irrelevant minority shareholder at Airbus, and Airbus has not distributed me dividends for several years..."
