After Thomas Enders got the authorization from the board of directors, he began to prepare the arms orders ordered by Lin Feng. As for the board of directors, he is not completely honest. After Lin Feng's deal, I'm afraid that some of them will be sold to Libya, and the relationship between Libya and the United States is there. These weapons may be used against the U.S. government in the future. It could end up in the EU.
However, Thomas Enders only values interests. Businessmen pursue profits. Now the company needs to develop. This order can make the company develop even more. As for the future, who can say well. Besides, Thomas Enders always thinks that Lin Feng is a magical person. By taking this opportunity to cooperate with Lin Feng, Lin Feng may be able to deal with any difficulties encountered by the company in the future. Even if the company did not encounter difficulties, he personally encountered difficulties and asked Lin Feng for help. With this relationship, he did not worry that Lin Feng would not help. What's more, he has amazing dividends in these orders.
So, finally, human nature is private!
"Li Rui, you ask mengge to arrange someone to take over. We are going to Detroit." Lin Feng said.
Things have been discussed here. The rest is to hand over the goods. Lin Feng doesn't have to worry about these. Let Wang Meng send professionals to inspect the goods and receive them.
"Boss, brother Meng has sent someone over. He will arrive in Paris by tonight at the latest." Li Rui replied excitedly. As a soldier, there is nothing more exciting than seeing well-equipped weapons. Li Rui was excited to think that "Langya" had this batch of excellent weapons from then on. He followed Lin Feng. He usually didn't need to fight. At most, he needed to prevent terrorist attacks. He didn't have a strong desire for these weapons. But the elite soldiers of "wolf teeth" are fighting in the first front line. With these weapons, the casualty rate of wolf teeth will be greatly reduced.
"Well, send someone here to prepare for the handover. We'll go to Detroit first." Lin Feng nodded and said, "also, of the eight satellites, leave two for me, which is useful for our company. If the number of satellites is not enough, buy again! As for the money, don't worry. I'll pay for it. I don't need to use the working capital of Langya. "
Langya's welfare has always been excellent, and it is also the best among mercenary organizations all over the world. In particular, the compensation for disabled soldiers has always been the first in the industry. Therefore, although Langya's commission is high, it does not leave much to the company in the end. So far, the working capital on Langya's account is only over US $100 million. To use the financial resources of "wolf teeth" to buy these weapons is undoubtedly a dream. Therefore, only Lin Feng can contribute. Fortunately, Lin Feng has a sum of money. The money from 30 countries for selling "Nuwa" is just used to pay for the arms order after paying the final balance of "Fengcheng". After paying the money, Lin Feng was clean again. No more than $100 million is in the account. But soon, this summer, it's time for Lin Feng to get rich.
Food crisis!
Li Rui nodded. After giving orders, he left one person to wait for the handover. After that, they went directly to Paris International Airport and flew to Detroit.
When Lin Feng reached a secret arms supply agreement, Boeing has arrived in the UAE and Chinese mainland in two batches, and began their PR policy, ready to lobby the two countries to buy their Boeing series aircraft instead of buying A380 with just formed technology and no actual test.
In this regard, the order growth has been very slow Airbus A380, its chief operating officer John Leahy is very anxious. He was afraid that Boeing would take away the two big markets. It's said that UAE will carry out a comprehensive phase out and upgrade of its old aircraft. It is conservatively estimated that its market transaction value will exceed 90 billion US dollars. If you get this order, it will be enough for Airbus to say goodbye to the financial crisis in a short time. After all, in the past few years, the R & D of Airbus A380 has consumed too much working capital of Airbus, while the sales of the rest of the aircraft have been poor. If we can't get this order, I'm afraid we will really fall into financial crisis. Even if the parent company, EADS, comes to the rescue, it will not help.
After all, the most important thing for a company to survive or not is its own profit. If you can't make a profit all the time and rely on the rescue of your parent company, you will go bankrupt sooner or later.
As for the Chinese market, the orders are not so large at present. However, with the continuous improvement of China's economy and the improvement of Chinese people's income, air travel will become the preferred means of transportation for more and more Chinese people. Therefore, the Chinese market is a huge potential market. If it is conquered by Boeing, the future market will be ruined.
Now that the market is finished, so is the future market. Is Airbus still alive? Is the A380 still alive? So immediately, John Leahy reported this to Lin Feng. After all, Lin is still the second largest shareholder of the company with the title of CEO in Asia. He has reason to be responsible for the interests of the company.
Lin Feng answers the phone and turns his mouth. The 20% shares have not brought any benefits for themselves, but caused some troubles first. I have to deal with this matter by myself. Of course, Lin Feng can understand John Leahy's embarrassment. In the Asian market, Airbus has not attached much importance to it in the past. They have always attached importance to the European and American markets. As a result, the European and American markets were completely defeated by Boeing with its better performance and technology. When they finally developed a large aircraft comparable to Boeing, they might be defeated again because of the market share. It's normal for John Leahy to be worried.
"What do you do now, boss?" Lin Zhiling asked anxiously. After all, Lin Feng has taken a stake in Airbus. If Airbus is really finished, it will not be good for Lin Feng. Moreover, in the layout of Linfeng's industrial chain, an aircraft R & D company is also needed to provide aircraft support for airlines and tourism companies to escort its industrial chain.
"Don't worry. Such a large order doesn't mean that we can negotiate it. Especially the domestic officials, don't you know. If they don't get enough benefits, they will let go easily! In particular, Boeing is in such a hurry this time. It's just the end of the year. If you don't eat the fat, are those officials still officials? " Lin Feng laughs.
"What about the UAE side? This westerner has always been very straightforward. " Lin Zhiling worried. It is rumored that the order of Emirates is as high as 90 billion US dollars. The West Asians have never been short of money. Once they accept it, they will pay for it. A business worth 90 billion US dollars, even a huge industry like Lin Feng, is not easy to give up.
"UAE, these people in West Asia are really prone to impulsive consumption!" Lin Feng nodded.
How to comment on the people of Western Asia, to use a hot word on the Internet is that people are stupid and have more money. Compared with the consumption level of local tyrants in China, the West Asians are definitely better than others. Super sports cars, luxury yachts, private airplanes, seven star hotels and so on made of pure gold are synonymous with Western Asians. In this oil country, ordinary people buy gold in kilogram, so we can imagine the rich and extravagant nature of Western Asians. If the West Asians are really persuaded by Boeing, this 90 billion order may fly like this.
But it's not cost-effective to let yourself be a lobbyist. Lin Feng pondered slightly and hung up with Fabrice blieu, President of Airbus.
"Mr. Blier, I'm just investing in shares, holding the title of honorary chairman and the so-called Asia CEO. But in fact, Airbus has only a marketing division in Asia, with no factories and no parts transactions. Don't you think it's too unfair for me to be a lobbyist? " Lin Feng said.
This negotiation needs skills, but when facing the absolute strength of one party, skills and the like do not exist. Just like in the period of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei and Sun Quan fought against Cao together. They needed skills to persuade Sun Quan, so they sent Zhuge Liang to persuade Sun Quan. But after that, after Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou, when Lu Su came to ask for Jingzhou, Liu Bei didn't have to be reasonable and didn't need any skills. In a word, I can't return it. What can you do to me!
Therefore, now Lin Feng doesn't need to pay too much attention to skills, just show his dissatisfaction and conditions.
"Well, Mr. Lin, what conditions do you have?" Fabrice blieu naturally understood Lin Feng's meaning, so he didn't bargain. You can make an offer.
"It's very simple. I want half of Airbus's profit in Asia." Lin Feng said with a smile, "otherwise, I won't come forward to be the lobbyist!"
He is the richest man in the world. When he goes to work as a lobbyist, he only gets 20% of the profits, which is too worthless. So, at least 50%.
Fabrice blieu had no choice but to agree. Airbus's influence in Asia is far less than Boeing's, and its technology is not as good as others. Boeing has to rely on Lin Feng to get back to its disadvantage. Therefore, Lin Feng has to agree to whatever conditions he proposes. Besides, Lin Feng's condition is fair. After all, Asia is an emerging market, a market that Airbus did not pay attention to in the past.
After getting the promise, Lin Feng made a call to Emirates.
"Hello, President Tim Clark. I'm Lin Feng. I know your company is negotiating an aircraft order contract with Boeing. I'm talking about the same contract with you on behalf of Airbus. But I can't come back, but I can promise you that no matter what conditions Boeing gives you, I can give you better! In a word, you can't promise Boeing any terms until I come back. " Lin Feng is very domineering.
