Chapter 2111： Backer abdicated

"America indulge in life (

The survival method of small and medium clubs is actually very simple. Compared with the rich, the choice space is very narrow, which means that it is very difficult for them to have a bright future. This life will be exploited by the rich.

So you can see a lot of giants in the five major leagues, raising satellite teams in their own secondary leagues or countries outside the five major leagues.

Let these satellite teams specialize in blood transfusions for themselves. Liverpool is also doing the same. Thanks to Yang Cheng's financial resources, Liverpool has not only searched for satellite teams in European countries in recent years, but has not stopped all over the world.

Tens of millions of pounds have to be spent on this every year, but this is still not enough. Taking advantage of this year's bumper harvest, Ian Aier is ready to continue to increase, this proposal also received strong support from Yang Cheng.

After staying in Liverpool for two days, Yang Cheng finally returned to the United States with Luo Yue and began to make final preparations for the wedding.

For this reason, Luo Yue stopped his work and stared at the wedding preparations.

Of course Yang Cheng couldn't stop, a lot of things in the company awaited him.

After the last integration, the group has now formed a troika structure headed by New Times Media, New Times Cultural Tourism, and New Times Industry.

Among them, New Era Media is a well-deserved core pillar, under the jurisdiction of Toutiao App, MS Short Video, CW Television Media Network, New Era Pictures, and New Era Newspaper.

These assets are also the profit engine of New Era Media after its listing in the future, and they are indispensable.

The New Era Cultural Tourism includes several luxury hotel brands, aircraft leasing companies, sports groups, theme parks and tourism companies. The cultural tourism group and the media group have a strong linkage, and the communication between the two parties is close and many media The shareholders of the group have repeatedly suggested Yang Cheng to merge the Cultural Tourism Group and the Media Group.

There is no doubt that once the merger, an unprecedented giant monster will be created, rampant in the financial market.

However, this suggestion was resolutely rejected by Yang Cheng. The cultural tourism group, including the industrial group, were the two moats Yang Cheng left for himself.

It’s not bad to take out a media group to share the cake with the alligators on Wall Street. How much do you want to eat? Not afraid to die.

In fact, Yang Cheng knows well that in the future, he will gradually reduce his holdings of media group stocks, some will be transferred to offshore companies to hold them completely secretly, and some will be released for cash out. Of course, he also told Wall Street that Xiaoye does not intend to eat alone and does not need to target I.

To put it bluntly, New Era Media is Yang Cheng's target in front of him. Even if he has any idea, he uses it on this company. Other resources are his own land. Don't move your thoughts, you will die.

After returning to New York from London, Yang Cheng devoted all his energy to the listing of New Era Media.

According to the plan, the listing time is set at the end of this year. Whether it will be the end of November or the end of December is hard to say. It depends on the previous IPO situation.

After listing, Yang Orange’s shares will be reduced to 30%, and will further reduce its holdings to 20% in the next three years. Of course, family members and friends, including Yuanshan, will increase their holdings appropriately to ensure that Yang Orange is in the new era of media. Absolute right to speak.

There is another thing that needs his headaches, that is, the child in Susu’s belly. Her belly is getting bigger day by day. The doctor has already given the due date. It was in mid-August. It was originally planned. At that time, Yang Cheng's family should be floating on the sea. It's honeymoon.

But after the expected delivery date came out, Yang Cheng decided to temporarily adjust the voyage. After the wedding, he sailed around the Pacific Ocean and returned to the United States in mid-August for repairs. By the way, the pegrin was produced.

After adjusting for one month, they will start the second global journey through the Panama Canal to the Atlantic Ocean. During this period, they will visit the Antarctic and the Arctic respectively. The entire honeymoon trip will last for half a year. They will return to the United States in December. When Times Media went public, Yang Cheng certainly couldn't be absent from such a moment.

However, the plan cannot keep up with the rapid changes. Yang Cheng also designed several sets of alternatives, which can be used in the event of an accident.

Put aside the future, let's talk about it now.

After Yang Cheng held a two-day meeting in the company, he thought he could catch his breath, but suddenly received an unfriendly message that Richard Debin was about to step down.

As soon as he heard the news, Yang Cheng felt that the world was full of malice against him. Would you like this? Xiaoye will get married right away, are you doing this to me?

But when he called Richard Debin, it was easy to hear his voice, and it seemed that he had expected this result.

"Jason, the consultant position of Yuanshan Bank, keep it for me?"

Facing Richard Debin's ridicule, Yang Cheng said helplessly, "Keep it, but are you too relaxed?"

"Otherwise? Should I try to commit suicide? Comeon, I have been in this position for more than a decade, and I should abdicate. If you didn't stop me last time, I had been fishing in the Caribbean for a year."

Yang Cheng was speechless, this was true, but. . .

Seeing that he did not speak, Richard Debin said again, "This time I really want to retire. We lost the general election last year. Many people in Dang expressed dissatisfaction with me. Later, I was forced down. , We can’t do too much. Taking advantage of this time, it is reasonable to over-complete the position."

Yang Cheng sighed again, "Well, the result has already been done. It's useless to say more, but the same sentence, the position of the chief consultant of Yuanshan Bank will always be yours."

Richard Debin heard this and solemnly said, "Thank you Jason, thank you for keeping your promise, I will not let you down, trust me, I can continue to contribute to you."

Inadvertently, Richard Debin lowered his posture. He knew that he had to be called Yang Orange boss in the future.

Yang Cheng himself didn't have any special thoughts. If he and Richard Debin still used each other at first, now they can be regarded as a year-end handover, how could this kind of thing destroy the relationship?

"Don't talk about this Richard, after your handover is over, let's take a one-month break, and you will officially perform your duties after attending my wedding."

"I think so too. By the way, I have to trouble you to send me some good wine. I didn't have a chance before, but now I can finally have a drink."

"Ha~ No problem, do you want me to drink with you?"

"Forget it, you should concentrate on preparing for the wedding, lest the bride is angry."

"How come, I still have a little voice at home."

. . .

After hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng sighed deeply, his biggest ZZ reliance had stepped down, and it seemed that he had to look for a backer again.

Richard Debin introduced a person, but Yang Cheng decided not to meet for the time being. If he could find the best one by himself, the introduction of others would not feel as strong as he had built.

Yang Cheng took a sip of tea, when Liu Junyu came in and reported, "The appointment time for Delta Air Lines Mr. Bastian has arrived~"

"Um~ let him in~"

Before long, Liu Junyu led Bastian in, and Yang Cheng pointed to the chair in front of him, "Sit, what to drink?"

"Coffee is good~"

Soon Liu Junyu brought coffee. After she quit, Yang Cheng asked, "Is it about ordering a new plane?"

Bastian nodded, "Yes, someone from Airbus came to ask us what we think of Bombardier's C series. By the way, they are going to change its name to the A220 series."

Yang Cheng found out the documents that Bastian had passed to him earlier, and after a few glances, he said, "Whether it is called Bombardier C series or Airbus A220 series, this aircraft is always an excellent branch line and small and medium-sized trunk line. aircraft."

Since Boeing and the U.S. Department of Commerce proposed to impose high tariffs on the C series, Bombardier has realized that the impact of overlapping competition with Boeing and Airbus products is far more serious than expected, and Bombardier’s weak strength alone is difficult to obtain. Longer development and selling yourself to Airbus is more like a helpless move. However, only in this way can the C series go further.

I just didn’t expect that Airbus was already thinking about the customers. There were rumors a long time ago that the name was changed to Airbus series models. Now it is expected that the dust will settle. This is still a win-win situation for both parties. , It just means that the Bombardier brand’s entry into the mainline civil aircraft market has ended in failure For Airbus, it has filled the gap in the regional market of 100-130 seats and below MTOW70t, which means that Airbus is Boeing took the lead in completing the layout of the civil aircraft market covering the branch line.

With Airbus's strong brand effect and extensive maintenance network, A220 is very likely to achieve greater success, Yang Cheng can give such a prediction.

On the other hand, Airbus almost did not spend any cost, and obtained a branch machine that has achieved certain commercial results and has excellent performance.

As for Bombardier, selling its C series to Airbus can prove on the one hand that the Canadian government does not have sales subsidies for itself, so as to reasonably avoid the high US tariffs.

Furthermore, relying on Airbus and using Airbus's brand and network, A220 sales may be even higher. After all, Canadians still have nearly 50% of the shares in the A220 project or the Airbus branch company.

Having Airbus share the risk and perhaps make more money is not a bad thing for Bombardier.

Bastian nodded, "The A220 series is really a very good aircraft. The unit cost is relatively well controlled. With good aerodynamics and the high energy efficiency of the GTF engine, it has both the running cost and the operating cost of the regional aircraft on short distances. The profitability is also capable of handling medium and long distance routes over 3000km.

In addition, the 2+3 seats are arranged to attack and retreat and defend, keeping the MTOW in a good range.

Considering it all together, we can try to place a few orders, after all, we still need to reserve a certain share for Boeing. "

Yang Cheng agreed with Bastian’s idea, “Let’s order five first. If Boeing can follow suit, it’s not too late for us to add more Airbus orders.”
