Chapter 1799： Air Berlin goes bankrupt

Charles is a very interesting person, a bit of the meaning of treating Yang Cheng as an idol. Look at that posture, if Yang Cheng is not tired, he can talk all night long.

But Yang Cheng is really tired, not to mention that I didn’t have any interest in chatting. In fact, chatting with Charles was quite interesting. This rich family who inherited the plantation has a lot of gossip from dozens of hundreds of years ago in his mind. He said it was quite interesting.

After leaving, Yang Cheng took Luo Yue back to the room. Luo Yue asked, "You are very optimistic about that Charles?"

"why do you say so?"

"It feels like you treat him a bit differently~"

"I'm also a fan anyway, of course be enthusiastic about fans~"

"Puff~hahaha~" Yang Cheng made a big laugh, and after a long laugh, Luo Yue yelled, "Don't stinks~"

. . .

Early the next morning, Luo Yue was awakened by the sound of rushing rain. He opened his eyes dazedly and found that there was no one around him, but he was still warm while touching the bed. It was obvious that Yang Cheng had just been up.

In the living room outside the bedroom, Yang Cheng held his mobile phone solemnly.

The CEO of Delta Air Lines called Yang Cheng early in the morning. He was asleep and didn't answer. He couldn't call Hansen's cell phone through his assistant Liu Junyu to wake Yang Cheng.

There was a big event in Europe. Air Berlin, Germany’s second largest airline, declared bankruptcy. This was a big shock to the entire aviation industry. Bastian called Yang Cheng the first time and wanted to ask. Regarding the assets left by Air Berlin, will Delta Air Lines purchase them?

You must know that Air Berlin currently has 140 aircraft, many popular European routes, and the landing sites of many German airports. Once these are sold, they will inevitably become popular products. Some things must be planned early. The first person to eat crabs , I know how delicious the crab is.

Currently, Air Berlin, Germany’s second largest airline, has just issued a bankruptcy application, which has caused shocks in the entire industry. However, Germany ZF chose to lend a helping hand at the first time, preparing to provide it with a 150 million euro bridge loan to maintain its future. Three months of operation, to avoid its suspension endangering existing flight operations and more than 8,000 jobs.

Of course, everyone knows that the 150 million yuan is just life-saving money, and does not have the ability to change life against the sky. However, the three-month delay in death has also given other airline companies time to respond.

How much these assets are worth and whether they should be bought is a question that all powerful airlines are considering right now, and Delta is no exception.

Yang Cheng drank a sip of ice water to sober himself up, and asked, "How could Air Berlin go bankrupt? I know that their operations have been sluggish in recent years."

In terms of passenger capacity, Air Berlin is not only the second largest airline in Germany, but also the seventh largest in Europe. Even an airline of this size can’t support it. Taking into account the dilemma of Alitalia, Yang Cheng’s heart There was a shadow.

Throughout the history of Air Berlin, in the 1990s, Air Berlin began to enter the field of low-cost airlines. In 2006, Air Berlin was listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In 2011, Emirates acquired 29% of Air Berlin and became its largest shareholder. .

All of this is moving in a good direction, how can we get to the step of bankruptcy?

Bastian said, “After all, competition in the low-cost airline market in Germany and even Europe is too fierce. Air Berlin has suffered losses in recent years. Emirates originally expected to acquire Air Berlin to achieve coordinated development, but unexpectedly bought it. A money-losing cargo, the deteriorating Air Berlin has become a bottomless pit of dissatisfaction.

In the past six years, Air Berlin’s total losses have exceeded 2.7 billion euros. This year, the situation has deteriorated rapidly. Emirates said it cannot continue to provide financial support to Air Berlin because doing so will only increase its own financial risk window.

Just a week ago, Emirates announced that it had terminated its financial support for Air Berlin. "

Yang Cheng said in deep thought, "It seems that the Middle Easterners are also one of the killers of Air Berlin."

Bastian said anxiously, "Boss, it doesn't matter to us how Air Berlin died. We have to figure out whether we should fight for the assets left by Air Berlin. I believe our opponents are considering this issue. "

Yang Cheng said, "I know that for the competitors of Air Berlin, its bankruptcy not only makes them lose one opponent, but also their aircraft, routes, and airports in Berlin and Dusseldorf. It is also a high-quality resource. Whoever swallows the corpse of Air Berlin will inevitably increase its strength in a short time.

This is the airline company that occupies a quarter of the German market. "

Bastian couldn't help asking, "So we also shot?"

Yang Cheng did not rush to express his position, but asked, "Is anyone publicly expressing his position now?"

Bastian thought for a while, "Bavarian Airlines investor Hans publicly stated to the media that he is willing to buy the whole at a price of 500 million euros;

Germany's Baden-Wurttemberg Energy Company also expressed interest in participating in the bidding;

Britain’s EasyJet and TUI Airlines also expressed interest in acquisitions to the media;

There are also many private consortia, whether in this industry or not, have expressed their willingness to make acquisitions. "

Yang Cheng snorted, "Don't take it to heart. None of these publicly stated stances are our true opponents. Those who are truly capable of swallowing Air Berlin are all making a fortune silently and accumulating strength in the dark. It is impossible. Stand up and show off."

After a pause, he asked, "What about Lufthansa? It stands to reason that they are the one that should take the shot most~"

Bastian hesitated, "I don't know, I should be worried about being accused of monopoly~"

Yang Cheng said worriedly, "What if you have the support of German ZF?

I believe German ZF will definitely want to see Lufthansa monopolize the domestic market. What they want to see is stability. "

"I'm not sure Want to investigate?"

"Well, stare at it. If it doesn't work, start with the public opinion first and muddy the water, at least not to let German ZF support Lufthansa acquisition on the surface."

Bastian stunned, "Boss, do you mean we have to take action too?"

Yang Cheng laughed, "Of course, otherwise you won't make this call, I think you and mine should have the same idea~"

Bastian also smiled, "Yes, boss, I think this is a good opportunity. After missing Alitalia, the significance of winning Air Berlin is also extraordinary.

It will help our layout in the European continent, not to mention the price is really not expensive~"

Yang Cheng laughed, who did you learn from this rich tone?

With yourself?

However, he likes it!
