Through the wealth life

Chapter 415 Fleet
The news of Li Guangyu's establishment of an airline company has received great attention from Boeing executives. In order to get the order from Li Guangyu's airline company, Boeing President Stim Cole even sent the company's vice president Conny Akarin to Xiangjiang. Negotiate with Li Guangyu and try to get Li Guangyu to buy their company's aircraft.

Airbus, jointly established by several Western European countries, is Boeing's biggest competitor, and they will naturally not give up the order of Li Guangyu Airlines.They know very well that Li Guangyu Airlines is just starting now, and with the support of the Lee consortium in the future, it will definitely become the top airline in Asia, and there will be huge orders in the future. Naturally, they don't want such a big customer to be robbed by Boeing past.

This time, Airbus also sent company vice president Kendy Jesse to Xiangjiang, and at the same time contacted the British government, hoping that they would let the Xiangjiang government provide them with some help.

On the morning of September 9, Li Guangyu met with the visiting Vice President of Boeing, Conny Akarin, in his office.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Akalin, welcome to our Li Group, this way please."

After Li Guangyu sat down with Conny Akalin in the reception area, he said to him, "Mr. Akalin, are you here because of my special plane?"

Conny Akalin didn't believe that Li Guangyu didn't know his purpose of coming, but what he came to Xiangjiang for because of the special plane.Moreover, he had already heard that the vice president of Airbus had also arrived in Xiangjiang. Now Li Guangyu must be waiting for his side and Airbus to come up with preferential terms.

"Mr. Li, your special plane is under construction according to plan, and it will be delivered to you by the end of next year. There is no problem. I am here to visit you this time in the hope that your airline can purchase our plane. The airliner of the company, whether it is ultra-long-range or short-to-medium-range, our Boeing has corresponding models, and the sales volume in the world is very good, and it has withstood the test of the market." Conny Akalin said.

Li Guangyu himself has learned about various types of aircraft of Boeing and Airbus through information. In terms of flight range, whether it is ultra-long-range or short-to-medium-range aircraft of the same type, Boeing's range exceeds that of Airbus. In terms of comfort, Airbus is slightly better than Boeing.

Li Guangyu will now see how much discount these two companies can give him, and then decide which company's aircraft to buy.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Akalin, our company really urgently needs a batch of planes so that our airline can put them into operation. Our company still needs to discuss whether to purchase your Boeing planes."

Conny Akarin knew very well that Li Guangyu could resolve all the affairs of the Li consortium with one word, and the so-called negotiation was just a evasion. It was not Li Guangyu who had the final say on whether to buy his own Boeing or Airbus.

Conny Akalin said: "Mr. Li, in order to maintain our friendship with your Li consortium, we will give your airline a lot of discounts this time. At the same time, as long as your airline hands over the order to us, Our company guarantees to deliver the planes to your airline as soon as possible. Our company knows that your current airline has nothing to offer, so as long as you place an order, we can deliver two planes to your airline next month."

As soon as Li Guangyu heard it, he knew that Boeing had done a lot of preparatory work in order to get the order from his own airline.These two planes must have been booked by other airlines. This time Boeing was able to deliver them to itself in order to get its own order. There is a lot of work to do.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Akalin, thank you Boeing for attaching importance to Xiangjiang Airlines. I also feel your sincerity. It's just that you also know that the quantity that our airline wants to purchase is not a matter of one or two aircraft. Things still need to be carefully considered.”

Conny Akalin naturally knew that the Li's consortium would order a lot this time, otherwise he wouldn't have come here in person.Boeing has made predictions. With the ambition of the Li consortium, they will order at least [-] more aircraft this time to ensure the operation of the airline.

And as the Li's consortium continues to open up markets, Xiangjiang Airlines will have at least hundreds of aircraft in the future, and Boeing absolutely does not want to lose such a large customer.

Conny Akarin said: "Mr. Li, our president Cole specifically explained that this time we will cooperate with your airline, and we will give up part of the profits. You also know that Cathay Pacific also ordered our Boeing company. Some of our products. In order to cooperate with you this time, you can get the same type of aircraft at the price of Cathay Pacific’s nine floors.”

Li Guangyu didn't expect that Boeing would really be able to invest in capital this time. Li Guangyu and the others are now Cathay Pacific's shareholders, so they naturally know the price of Cathay Pacific's order for Boeing. Boeing can't fool him in this regard.

There is no such thing as cheap airplanes, and the price of one layer less is worth millions of dollars. Li Guangyu's order this time is not a small number, which is equivalent to a loss of tens of millions of dollars for Li Guangyu.

However, Li Guangyu did not reply to Conny Akalin for the time being. He would decide which company to buy after meeting with Airbus in the afternoon.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Akalin, I feel the sincerity of your Boeing Company. I will discuss with the group's senior management and give you an answer tomorrow."

Akarin knew that the discussion was fake, and he probably made a choice only after meeting with Airbus and comparing the discounts offered by the two companies.

Conny Akarin said: "Mr. Li, please also consider our Boeing company. We very much hope to be able to become long-term partners with your consortium."

……

In the afternoon, Li Guangyu met with Airbus Vice President Kendy Jesse, and listened to some preferential terms offered by Airbus.

Li Guangyu already had a bias in his mind about this. This time, Airbus obviously did not do as much preparation work as Boeing, and the price was not as big as Boeing.

After sending Kendy Jess away, Li Guangyu found Li Xuemei, told her about today's situation, and asked her to discuss specific price issues with Boeing.

Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, how many planes are we going to order this time, and which models are we going to order?"

李光宇考虑了自己航空公司的一些航线之后，向李雪梅说道：“这次我们暂时订购20架，其中10架采购波音747-200，另外10架采购波音767。”

Li Xuemei also knew about these two planes. The former was an ultra-long-range plane, and it was estimated that Li Guangyu would use it to fly to Europe, America, and Australia.The latter is more used to fly routes in Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia.

Li Xuemei said: "Sheng Li, it's just Airbus. It is said that Mr. Jesse called on Mr. MacLehose in the morning. I don't know if it will affect us."

Li Guangyu said: "You don't have to worry about this, just go and discuss with Akalin, and I will take care of MacLehose."
