Chapter 731

This time Ekeby came to Riu Island with great fanfare for inspection. Many people know that the inspection of Riu Island is fake. The real purpose is to have a private negotiation with Riu Island owner Zhuang Haiyang, the new rich man, about Merina Airlines. .

But in the eyes of many people, if Zhuang Haiyang really decides to form an airline company, then it may be impossible for this negotiation to achieve a good result.It is well known that Air Merina has been losing money for many years.

Besides, anyone who knew about the acquisition knew that it had nothing to do with Zhuang Haiyang.It’s just that Zhuang Haiyang said inadvertently earlier that when Riu Island began to receive tourists from all over the world, it must increase the corresponding air transport capacity.

With the current strength of Merina Airlines, I am afraid that many international tourists will feel a lot of pressure when they board the plane.Because of this, Zhuang Haiyang specially purchased a passenger plane to pick up and drop off domestic tourists.

Just considering Merina's aviation strength, there are indeed big problems.In order to ensure the safety of tourists from all over the world, Zhuang Haiyang still believes that the formation of a new airline should make tourists feel safer on the plane.

But Zhuang Haiyang didn't expect that the matter that he didn't want to start so early, but because the news reached Antov's ears, he was more active than himself.Antov's positive reason is naturally that he hopes to order more passenger planes.

The previous two planes made Gaul very happy.If Zhuang Ocean can complete the acquisition of Merina Airlines, it is believed that it will also order more new passenger aircraft.Before that, Merina Airlines actually wanted to buy it.

The question is, the Merina authorities can't afford the money at all, so is it possible to count on the loan from Gaul?

Since these people seem to be so active, doesn't Zhuang Haiyang appear too unbusinessman if he doesn't make a fuss?

When President Ekbe left, many accompanying officials also asked curiously: "Mr. President, what about the airline? How much is he willing to pay? How about buying our airline?"

"Let's talk about this matter after we go back! When it comes to such an acquisition case, give him some time!"

In fact, Zhuang Haiyang also stated directly that he would entrust a corresponding law firm and negotiators to negotiate with the Merina authorities for the acquisition of the airline company.If the negotiation is successful, buy it.If the negotiation fails, a new company will be formed.

This also means that there are not many options left for the Merina authorities.If we really want to froze the relationship, I'm afraid it won't do anyone any good.And those who want to reap benefits through the acquisition case may have made a wrong calculation this time.

As Mr. President said, after a few phone calls, extremely professional lawyers and negotiators quickly started negotiations with the Merina authorities.To the surprise of all the officials involved in the negotiations, the terms of the negotiations seemed a bit harsh.

But the negotiator showed the airline's property report and said: "According to our investigation, your airline loses tens of millions of dollars every year. And this loss is increasing every year.

In addition, the real value of the airline may be those employees and the airport building under the airline's name.But in fact, there are many problems in this company. Many people don't even go to work, but lead a company that is not expensive.

Also, the prices of the so-called property reports you provide are quite exaggerated.As for those planes that have changed hands many times, do you think our boss will need them?Even if this kind of aircraft is sold at a discount, who would dare to sell it? "

Accompanied by the first negotiation, the two parties announced the suspension due to too much disagreement. Antov and others, who were concerned about the acquisition, were naturally actively working on it.Just seeing the evidence presented by the negotiating delegation, Ekby also felt a little blush.

The reason is that airlines spend the vast majority of their profits on maintaining aircraft every year.The most helpless thing is that the real problem of the airlines is that there are no tourists at all, and the planes are flying at a loss.

Airlines want to make money only if they have enough customers for each round-trip flight.And Merina itself is not well-known, except for a few people in need, the airline can perform round-trip flights.

Moreover, Merina Airlines, the airports where the aircraft can stop are also in several neighboring countries.To put it simply, countries that are too far away may not be able to fly at all with Merina's flight mileage.

People from many countries want to come to Merina, but sometimes they can only choose to transfer by plane.Even the domestic airlines began to dispatch planes after Zhuang Haiyang invested, and carried out corresponding round-trip flight missions from time to time.

Sometimes, the planes performing such missions have to divert to other international airports to pick up a group of passengers, so that the planes can fly back to China with full capacity.Otherwise, there will always be insufficient passengers, which airline is willing to fly this route?
As many had expected, the Merina regime offered too little to negotiate.Even the lawyer negotiating on behalf of Zhuang Haiyang said very bluntly: "Apart from our agent, is there anyone else willing to take your burden?"

That's right!In the view of the attorney in charge of the negotiation, the acquisition is purely to help Merina solve the burden.If it continues to operate like this, the Merina authorities will have to subsidize a lot of money to the company every year, not to mention making money.

After the acquisition of Zhuang Haiyang, the company is still under the name of the Merina authorities, but it has changed from state-owned to private.Those who just took money and didn't work before will naturally be cleared out.The government, on the other hand, only takes a small stake in supervision.

After nearly a month of negotiations, the old king finally came forward and led several senior executives of the airline to meet with Zhuang Haiyang in person.Zhuang Haiyang made a concession before finalizing the acquisition.

In a word, Zhuang Haiyang can pay for the debts owed by the airlines after the acquisition.The aircraft currently owned by the company, as well as the corresponding terminal buildings, will all be privately owned by Zhuang Haiyang.

Generally speaking, the Merina authorities have gotten rid of this burden in addition to gaining hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue from the sale of the airline.And Zhuang Haiyang is not too bad, he still got the ownership of the airline.

For the purpose of supervision, the Merina authorities also enjoy a 90.00% stake in the airline.The remaining [-]% of the shares are naturally owned by Zhuang Haiyang.This state-owned airline, which has existed for many years, has completely changed its surname to Zhuang.

The acquisition case was signed, Zhuang Haiyang was as forthright as ever, and the airline had repaid all the loans owed to the country for many years in one lump sum.Seeing this money, the minister in charge of the bank was undoubtedly the happiest.

This kind of non-performing loan has never been thought of by the bank before.Everyone knows that the previous airline is a bottomless pit, but the Merina authorities cannot shut it down.With all airlines grounded, how would anyone else come to Merina?

After the completion of the acquisition, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly when he saw the representatives of Sam Country and Gaul Country Airlines coming to the door one after another: "As for the quality of your country's aircraft, I naturally approve of it. It's just that I need the plane now! "

Now that the acquisition has been completed, Zhuang Haiyang also hopes to replace the airline's aircraft as soon as possible.In addition, apply for corresponding flight routes in Europe and other countries.Domestically, two routes will also be opened.

These two routes are naturally one south and one north, and it is also convenient for more domestic passengers to fly to Merina, so as to visit Riu Island.In the final analysis, whether the airline can make a profit depends on whether Riu Island can be recognized.

As soon as the news came out, other airlines with existing planes also quickly joined the ranks of grabbing orders.In addition to requiring a well-made aircraft, price and safety are also very important.

The consuls stationed in Merina who had contacted Zhuang Haiyang earlier also began to join in the bidding.And the one who really benefited was naturally Zhuang Haiyang.Also happy, or airline staff.

Before repaying the foreign debts owed by the company, Zhuang Haiyang invested another [-] million US dollars in airport maintenance and expansion, as well as improving the benefits of the company's employees.Correspondingly, if the employees of the company want to get a job, they also need training before they can work.

The previous attitude of dawdling will definitely not be passed in the future company.Even, at the construction site on Riu Island, a group of young women who had studied Chinese began to be called wrong by the management one after another.

Although these young women are not highly educated, they are all good-looking.These young women were naturally happy when they learned that the management was planning to recommend them to the airline as flight attendants.In the future, they will have the opportunity to go to China to perform flight missions.

The increase in welfare benefits is naturally something to be happy about.Correspondingly, the work pressure of the original company employees has naturally increased a lot.If you can't get along, you can only find another job. If you want to stay, you must change your work attitude accordingly.

What surprised everyone even more was that after Zhuang Haiyang picked up the phone from the airport and the terminal, the first thing he changed was the security measures at the airport.The local security personnel of Merina, who had been recruited earlier, also immediately took over the security tasks of the airport.

Not surprisingly, the airport of the future will also become a truly safe place.There are also relatively backward airport buildings such as waiting rooms, which have also been processed and remodeled by a professional construction company in Huaguo.

Regardless of the matter of ordering aircraft, Huaguo Enterprises does not seem to be involved.But many people know that the airport renovation project is also very profitable.And Zhuang Haiyang's approach is also very fair, and it is also an open bidding.

The problem is that Huaguo Construction Company quoted a lower price, and the construction time was also shorter.When other foreign companies participating in the bidding learned that Huaguo Company had successfully won the maintenance contract, they seemed somewhat unbelievable.

But the representative of the Huaguo Construction Company who participated in the bidding also said directly: "You don't even know that the title of Huaguo Construction Madman is not a bragging, but a real one."

A large number of construction machinery and workers have entered the airport. Many people who pay attention to the maintenance and construction process of the airport can also see the high operational capabilities of the engineering team.Thankfully, the airlines themselves don't fly many missions per day.

In this case, it undoubtedly gave the engineering team more working time.When some Merina people came back from abroad, they were also very surprised when they saw the airport that was obviously changed when they left the station: "Is this really the airport where I went abroad?"

"It must be! It's just that the airline company has changed owners, and the state-owned company has become a private company."

"Continuing to run the state, the airline will go bankrupt sooner or later. It would be better to sell it to private individuals. Every time I go to a foreign airport and return to our airport, I always feel too ugly."

People who have the capital to go abroad often know how big the gap between their domestic airlines and foreign airlines is.Now seeing the brand-new airport, they naturally feel very happy.Airports are often the face project of a country!
What makes these people most happy is that the various facilities and service quality of the airport have been significantly improved.In addition, the airport has also opened a domestic special line, which can perform some corresponding domestic flight tasks.

In the past, if many people wanted to go to other cities, they could only choose to take a car.As an island country, Merina did not build a railway at all.Even highways cannot be compared with expressway companies in other countries.

With the domestic air routes opened now, the connection between the capital and other domestic cities has undoubtedly become more convenient.Just one month after Zhuang Haiyang took over the airline, four brand new large passenger planes quickly landed on the expanded apron.

The guests who came to book tickets were also very surprised to see that Merina opened direct flights to China, and even to important countries in Europe, North America and Africa.Although there are still not many flights to the country, it is much more convenient than before.

As far as the person in charge of the airline company was hired, he seemed a little worried and said: "Boss, if you open routes to these countries, the fuel consumption alone will cost you a lot! In the long run, the company may suffer a lot of losses."

"Don't worry! Let our crew members familiarize themselves with these routes first. If there are few customers, it will be used as a cargo plane. During this period, many ingredients on the island have begun to be supplied to these countries, and they can make money by bringing goods."

Although they are all enterprises under the name of Zhuang Haiyang, Keriu Island Management Group needs to pay the corresponding fees for the consignment of materials by airlines.For domestic buyers, they can also get fresher and timely ingredients.

Just when the first batch of four large passenger planes officially landed at Merina International Airport, the plane from China was full.The travel company employees who have been trained for a long time will also officially start the adaptation study before the trial operation.

These include receiving tourists from the airport and arranging their transfer to Riu Island by yacht or helicopter.The former takes a bit longer but is relatively affordable.The latter is faster, but undoubtedly more expensive.

But no matter what, Zhuang Haiyang more or less gave some orders to those consuls from various countries who came to him.From their country, they purchased the materials needed for the upcoming trial operation of the resort.Helicopters alone bought ten of them in one go.

What puzzles many people is that the purchase of the ten helicopters is not from one country, or even from several countries.But these civilian helicopters are undoubtedly better-performing helicopters.Among them, there are even helicopters made in Huaguo.

In short, under the circumstances of such a large-scale global procurement, many people feel that if the business of Riu Island does not improve, Zhuang Haiyang may not be far from bankruptcy.The question is, will Zhuang Haiyang do something he has no confidence in?
