Vol 5 Chapter 77: Behind the big deal

After Fan Wuyi sent Jean Birger away, he personally welcomed Maximus into his suite.

"Old friend, why did you suddenly come to Paris?" Fan Wubing poured a glass of wine for Maximus, added ice cubes, and handed it to him, and then asked curiously.

After Maximos sat down, he shook his glass, waited until the ice was completely melted, then drank the wine in the glass, groaned very much, and then asked, "Why would you think of buying a Frenchman? Where's your plane?"

"It's cheap--" Fan Wubing replied very concisely.

Although Boeing’s passenger planes are also very good, but the price is too high, Fan Wuyi did not consider them. In addition, Sino-French relations are quickly recovering. Priority is given to doing business with the French, which is encouraged by the government. Yes, my intention to buy Airbus this time is actually helping the government play cards.

Sometimes, it is necessary to calculate not only economic accounts, but also political accounts. This Fan Wuyi is very clear, otherwise he would not be able to achieve such a large career without causing government backlash. This is certainly related to his compliance with laws and regulations in his business, but who can guarantee that he really doesn't have any small handles in his company?

If the government is willing to clean up a company, it doesn’t take much effort. Therefore, even though Fan Wuyi is already very powerful, he still has to put up a brand of foreign investment to protect himself. Who will let the current economic model? Isn't it clear? The status of market economy cannot be established in law one day. It is impossible for him to relax.

What's more, my current foreign investment background is still somewhat useful, not only in the preferential tax policies, but also when recruiting new employees. Everyone also likes to work in foreign companies.

Maximus heard Fan Wuyi’s answer, but he was very depressed for a while, and then said to Fan Wuyi, “I’m here this time to grab business with the French. They took it away last time. For Taiwan’s arms sales orders, this time we decided to retaliate and grab their aircraft projects. For this reason, the board of directors authorized me. I can give you the most favorable price. What do you think? Even if you don’t look at the board’s face, you have to See my face, right?"

"Your face?" Fan Wubing looked at Maximus pretentiously, and then said, "Well, there are a lot of wrinkles."

Maximus was dumbfounded by Fan Wuyi, but there was nothing to do.

He has now joined Boeing's top executives and has not yet made any major achievements. Therefore, I very much hope that Fan Wubing can help him get orders for several large airplanes, so that he can also stabilize his position within the new company.

And it happened that the Panshi Airport was about to be completed soon, and Fan Wuyi was not short of money. Maximus was going to persuade him to buy a few planes as support for him. After all, the four satellites that were originally sold to the counterfeit were the crystallization of the latest technology of Hughes at the time. It is said that it is impossible to sell to China. Man and land. This can be regarded as a favor.

But since Maximus is here. Fan Wubing was too embarrassed to let him go back empty-handed, after all, he needed to buy a plane. Use Boeing to suppress Airbus's arrogance and prompt them to cut prices. It is also desirable.

"I invite you to dinner tonight. Let's talk about it. Now you can rest first." Fan Wuyi finally said something to Maximus that would make him sleep at ease.

"Okay!" The old Jewish man knew that Fan Wuyao's words were eloquent, so he didn't say much.

After the old man left, Dolby asked in surprise, "Boss, do we still need to buy more planes?"

No wonder Dolby has such doubts. Although the domestic air transport capacity is average or even weak, there are many local airlines. Therefore, he believes that even if Fan Wuyi buys more planes, he is afraid. There is not much use, after all, the flow of personnel and cargo in domestic air transportation is certain.

Fan Wubing shook his head, "In fact, I don’t buy many Airbus planes at one time. It’s not because I’m not optimistic about air transport in the mainland, but because I’m worried that Airbus won’t be able to produce so many planes for a while. Come, worry that they will fool me with shoddy. This time Maximus came over, and it happened to solve one of my big problems."

Fan Wubing is the most clear about the potential of the mainland to develop in the next few years. In the next few years, until after 1997, the domestic economy will develop at a faster rate, and for air transportation The dependence of the airline is becoming more and more obvious. Especially the long-distance routes between China and the United States and China and Europe are a bit congested. Tickets are often booked several weeks in advance. This is caused by the limited domestic shipping capacity.

It is also in the past few years that more and more foreigners come to work in China, and often make some high-level and capable executives of major companies accustomed to traveling around the world for their good salaries. For the big players in between, sufficient air capacity is essential.

Due to the weakness of the mainland aviation market, many people have to stay in places with relatively sufficient aviation capacity such as Hong Kong or Shanghai to establish branch offices, instead of visiting the mainland in person to make the most of the full development of China's six major regions. However, once the Panshi Airport is completed, it will create a very favorable external environment for foreign investment in the mainland. If the construction of air transport capacity can keep up, the air transportation of the five provinces and cities around Panshi will be connected by Panshi Airport. It will form a huge market. Not buying more planes will not meet the growing demand.

Although compared with other industries, the domestic air transportation industry has excellent service, but this is only a relative point. Fan Wuyi hopes to set up his own shipping company and own his own passenger and cargo flights. Promoting large-scale exhibitions in the mainland, while weakening coastal cities, relying on their geographical advantages, has an effect on the economic containment of most of the six provinces in China.

Airbus’s US$3 billion order will take at least one to two years to complete. In this case, the exhibition of Nei 6 will need to be delayed for one to two years. This time Fan Wuyi cannot afford to wait, so His next goal is to place an order with Boeing for a batch of aircraft that can complement Airbus' passenger aircraft to form capacity as soon as possible.

This time Maximus came to the door when he heard the news, but he did a great favor to Fan Wuyi.

At dinner in the evening, the old man became more interested, drinking with Fan Wuyi again and again, and introduced some of his attendants to him.

Fan Wubing asked Dolby and the others to chat with Maximus’s attendants, and then took Maximus to the side, and then said, “I’m going to order a batch of a340-300 airliners with Airbus. You can follow this specification. Make a marketing plan for Boeing."

"Well, yes, it can be done overnight." The old man nodded.

"But to tell you the truth, even if you made this sales plan, I wouldn't be able to purchase these models." Fan Wuyao said to the old man again, almost outraging him.

"Then what plan do you want me to do?!" the old Jewish man asked angrily.

Fan Wubing covered the old man's mouth and said, "Speak down! This is a question of strategy!"

"What?" Maximus looked at Fan Wuyao with a bit of puzzlement and asked.

So Fan Wuyao talked about his ideas to the old man. He planned to ask Boeing to come up with a marketing plan that could compete with Airbus on the same models, and then leaked it out to make Airbus The company forms a certain amount of psychological pressure, so that they are at a disadvantage during the negotiation.

If Airbus faces competition from Boeing, it will certainly urge the French government to exert influence on China to facilitate this purchase. However, the current chaos in France is on the rise, and it must be overwhelmed and struggling to cope. Under the circumstances, it is impossible not to make some concessions to the Chinese government, and even if Airbus gets the order, it is impossible to make much profit.

"You mean to let us Boeing act as an imaginary opponent of Airbus? This seems to be a good idea. Reagan used the non-existent Star Wars plan to bring down the Soviets." The old Jewish man was a pretty slick person. Naturally, knowing that Fan Wubing's combination boxing was very effective, he couldn't help but praised it.

"But you need to be more serious about this matter. Don't miss the stuffing, otherwise I won't buy a plane!" Fan Wuyi asked very seriously~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Old Jewish man Er immediately promised, "I know this, but you plan to purchase our model. How much do you need?"

Fan Wubing replied, "In short, the order I will give you will not be less than that of Airbus, at least two billion US dollars. You should always be satisfied, right?"

"Very good!" When the old man heard that it was a large order of more than 2 billion U.S. dollars, he became excited and patted his thigh and said, "China Fan, you helped me a lot this time! Maybe I can get in. Boeing’s board of directors!"

In fact, Fan Wubing didn’t know much about what type of Boeing he needed, so he simply entrusted Maximus to make one based on the geographical location of the Rock Airport and the Airbus aircraft he was planning to purchase. Specific plans to decide what kind of aircraft you should buy is suitable.

Maximus naturally had no objection to this. In fact, Fan Wubing was willing to help him place such a large order, and he still placed another order in addition to the Airbus order. This was too much of a face.

Under the temptation of such a large order, it is really not enough to do such a small thing.
