Chapter 3981 Boeing is in action
"Deal!" Lin Feng laughed loudly, "Your company offers such generous terms, I have no reason not to agree..."
Fabrice Brégier and John Leahy looked at each other with joy on their faces. They were indeed sincere, but this did not mean that Lin Feng would definitely agree. Who would have expected that Lin Feng would be so cheerful?
He agreed to a US$5 billion contract, and it took less than ten minutes to complete it. Even though John Leahy is a sales giant, he has sold 5,000 aircraft, but it has never been so fast.
A deal was reached.
The smoothness of the negotiations this time was a bit unbelievable. But it was a good thing to reach an agreement. Subsequently, the two parties agreed to formally hold a press conference on the signing in three days. In these three days, 'Airbus' will come up with a complete
The contract was shown to Lin Feng.
After sending away Fabrice Brégier and John Leahy, Lin Chiling looked strange.
"Boss, this signing is too strange. They just want to deal with Boeing aircraft and the Asian market, so they won't just give away 20% of the shares in a second hand. Even if Airbus itself is not optimistic about the future prospects, it needs to share risks.
, we won’t give so many shares." Lin Chiling said incomprehensibly.
"Well, boss, there must be some reason for this that they haven't told us." Natalie also agreed with Lin Chiling's view, "Melissa, you are French, what do you think of this transaction?
"
Melissa was born in Paris, France. She is an authentic French person and a news program host. What does she think of this matter?
"Boss, I think there must be a reason behind this. Airbus was jointly created by four countries. Before that, 20% of its shares were owned by BAE Systems. However, last year, with the repeated delays of the A380,
, the future of the company is unclear. In the end, BAE Systems sold the 20% of its shares in Airbus to the European Aerospace Defense Group, allowing it to hold 100% of the shares. Now it is selling it to you. There must be something in it.
There are secrets that we are not familiar with!" Melissa had no way of knowing what the inside story was, but there must be something wrong with it.
"Boss, since there is a problem, how about we delay the signing of the contract until the investigation is clear?" Lin Chiling immediately suggested.
Lin Feng waved his hand.
"No, Melissa, you will lead the signing this time, help me review the contract, and make sure there are no illegal or hidden clauses in the contract. I will wait for their calculations behind the scenes." Lin Feng insisted, "If you don't sign the contract, it's
I don’t know what they have planned behind the scenes. So, we signed a contract and will wait here for them to take action.”
Lin Feng was ready to wait and wait for the conspiracy behind this to come to light.
The next day, Fabrice Brégier personally brought his secretary and contract to Airbus to negotiate with Lin Feng. After Melissa's review, the two parties discussed some details, such as payment time, down payment ratio, etc.
After some detailed discussions, the two sides reached an agreement on the third day. On the fourth day, the two sides formally held a press conference to announce the blockbuster news.
Lin Feng invested US$5 billion to acquire 20% of the shares of Airbus Industries and became the second largest shareholder of Airbus Industries. At the same time, Lin Feng became the spokesperson of Airbus Industries in Asia and its Asian branch.
CEO. The announcement of this news directly shocked the world.
Boeing has always been the only giant in the aviation field. No airline can compete with Boeing. Any opponent is easily swept out by Boeing's strong strength and absolute market share.
The A380 is the only competitor that has some qualifications to challenge. However, the outside world is not very optimistic about it. Although the A380 has been officially delivered and started sailing, whether it can challenge the dominance of the Boeing 747 and the upcoming Boeing 787 is
One problem. Most people don't think highly of 'Airbus'.
But at this time, Lin Feng got involved, which made people a little confused. Lin Feng has absolutely no connection with the airline. Although he owns Air Canada, this is not
It means you have to own an aircraft research and development company in disguise! There is no absolutely inevitable connection between the two. So why did Lin Feng get involved? Why? Regarding Lin Feng’s decision, the outside world is scratching their heads.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Feng should not go into this muddy water. This is completely unnecessary. Especially the future financial situation of 'Airbus' may not necessarily become popular after the launch of Airbus A380. This
They are two completely different concepts. As for cooperating with Airbus for national purposes to help the Chinese government obtain the best aviation engines in Europe, this does not make much sense. After all, according to the current situation announced by both parties
It seems that apart from obtaining 20% of the shares, an honorary director status, a supervisory position, and the executive president of Asia, Lam Feng does not involve actual processing and manufacturing. In other words, Lam Feng cannot
Direct contact with the manufacturing plant of Airbus. In this case, how can Lin Feng help the Chinese government obtain advanced aviation engines?
Is it really, as both parties said at the press conference, just to ensure the interests of Airbus in Asia and to counter Boeing's global strength? There is a lot of discussion about this from the outside world. At this moment, Boeing is also responding to this sudden incident
Cooperation, an emergency board meeting was held to discuss the possible harm to Boeing after the cooperation between Airbus and Lin Feng.
"In the Asian market, I am afraid that the main goal of their cooperation this time is to focus on the Asian market. We should speed up the layout of the Asian market, especially the layout of the Chinese market, and speed up cooperation with Chinese airlines to avoid being preempted by Airbus.
We have the opportunity!" Philip Conti, Chairman and CEO of Boeing Company, said loudly.
Philip Conti felt deeply threatened by the sudden cooperation between Airbus and Lin Feng. Especially for Lin Feng, he was extremely afraid. Lin Feng had created a series of miracles and was almost unbeatable in the business world.
Unbeatable. And what kind of threat will this cooperation with Airbus bring to Boeing? Will it directly threaten Boeing's global monopoly?
Currently, according to Boeing's statistics on the global aircraft market, in the next twenty years, the orders for the global aircraft market will exceed US$3.3 trillion! This is an extremely huge market, and this market has been instinctively given by Boeing.
Being included in the bag and digesting this market will allow Boeing to achieve longer-term development and further consolidate its existing market position and make it unbreakable.
But now, Lin Feng suddenly makes a move. If this market share is disrupted by Lin Feng, it will be troublesome.
"President, regarding the Chinese market, I think we don't need to pay too much attention to it for the time being. After all, our aircraft have more advantages than Airbus in terms of short and medium-distance travel. At present, the Chinese market is mostly for short- and medium-distance travel."
Master, in this market, Airbus aircraft cannot compare with ours. What we need to worry about now is the medium and long-distance civil aircraft market. Airbus A380 is currently the largest aircraft on the market. According to the current display report
Generally speaking, its comfort level is better than that of our Boeing 747. The spacious cabin allows even economy class passengers to enjoy great comfort. At present, the largest demand for COSCO aircraft in the Asian market is not the Chinese market.
, but the Arab market, as well as the Japanese and Korean markets. The Japanese and Korean markets are currently saturated, and most of the aircraft they use are our Boeing series. Therefore, we mainly want to seize the Arab market!"
The chief operating officer analyzed that.
Philip Conti nodded when he heard this.
"Okay, our target is the Arab market. I heard that Emirates Airlines is willing to replace a batch of aircraft recently, with a total value estimated to be as high as 90 billion US dollars. If we can get this order, we can give Airbus a head-on blow. Tomorrow,
I will fly directly to the United Arab Emirates. As for the Chinese market, it is up to you to follow up. Although Lin Feng is very popular in China, this country is a socialist country, and its main say is not in the market or in the hands of airlines, but in the hands of those airlines.
In the hands of local government officials. You have to deal with some local officials more and let them choose our company. If necessary, you can help them contact several American cities and sign sister city agreements as a bargaining chip to choose our company Boeing!
” Philippe Conti ordered.
Lin Feng does have great power in China, but fortunately, China is such a unique country, a country that allows him to ignore Lin Feng's huge influence in China. If he wins the Arab market, he will win again
In the Chinese market, Airbus will have no way to compete with Boeing. As for Lin Feng, that will become the biggest joke. Boeing will become the first company in the world to defeat Lin Feng.
This victory will not only make Boeing a staggering profit, but also leave its name in the history books. Of course, Boeing cannot afford to miss this kind of good thing with both fame and fortune. Soon, Boeing divided into two groups. One route
Philip Conti personally led the direct flight to the United Arab Emirates. The other route, led by Chief Operating Officer Dennis Muilenburg, flew directly to China and negotiated with China's three major airlines and several local airlines to negotiate for Boeing aircraft.
Ordering Agreement.
At this time, Lin Feng finally waited for the 'conspiracy' behind this transaction. Of course, it is a bit inappropriate to say conspiracy. To be precise, it should be another introduction. Everything before this was done for this introduction.
Chapter completed!
