Through the wealth life

Chapter 882
Conny Akalin arrived at Xiangjiang Qide Airport at ten o'clock in the morning on the 11th. After taking his luggage to the hotel, he had no time to rest. He just had a quick lunch and went to Li's Building to visit Li Guangyu.

This time he knew that it would be useless to go to Zhao Wenhua, the president of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group. The decision was in Li Guangyu's hands. Only when Li Guangyu changed his mind would Boeing have a chance to win the order.

After he arrived at the front desk of Li's Building, he said to the front desk administrator: "Hello, I am Conny Akarin, Vice President of Boeing Company. I hope to visit Mr. Li Guangyu. Please report to me."

"Hi sir, do you have an appointment?"

"I don't have an appointment, but Mr. Li Guangyu and I are good friends. Please report, I believe he will meet with me."

Why doesn’t the front desk administrator know the origin of Conny Akarin? As employees of the Lee consortium, especially if they are located at the headquarters, they are very concerned about the affairs of the consortium. This time the airline ordered [-] planes from Airbus, and Boeing is probably in a hurry That's why the vice president hurried over to visit Li Sheng, and came here rashly without even making an appointment.

The administrative staff at the front desk said: "Mr. Akalin, I'm really sorry. Our Li Sheng will fly to Japan tomorrow, so we didn't come to work in the building this afternoon. You want to visit Li Sheng, so please come back another day."

Hearing that Li Guangyu was not here, Conny Akalin was very anxious. If he could not meet Li Guangyu for a long time, then Xiangjiang Airlines would completely lose their order with Boeing.

He hurriedly asked: "Then, did you, Li Sheng, say when you will return to Xiangjiang? I hope to meet him as soon as possible."

"Sir, we don't know much about this, but Ms. Ganqin just announced that Li Sheng, Yuan Sheng, Miss Li, Miss Zhang, Shi Sheng, Zhao Sheng and other presidents will go to Vancouver the day after tomorrow, and then they will visit Mexico and Brazil. , It is estimated that it will take at least ten days and a half months."

Conny Akarin knew that if he didn't meet Li Guangyu at this time, he probably would never have another chance this year, and the place where Li Guangyu was going to visit was obviously aimed at American companies.

With so many CEOs visiting this time, they will never just go to these places for a formality.Once the Lee consortium takes root in these places, it will have a great impact on American companies.

If the Li's consortium and the Japanese consortium had occupied their American market and they hadn't dragged down the Soviet Union economically, they would have been killed economically by the Japanese consortium and the Li's consortium first.

At this time, he wanted to see Li Guangyu, but it was probably unlikely. He didn't even know where Li Guangyu was in the afternoon.

After bidding farewell to the front desk executives, he immediately went to Xiangjiang Air Transport Group to pay a visit to the group president Zhao Wenhua, hoping to get some good news here.

At the headquarters of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group, Conny Akalin did not get shut down like he did in Li's Building, and met Zhao Wenhua very smoothly.

In the reception area of ​​the president's office, Zhao Wenhua asked politely, "Mr. Akalin, I haven't seen you for more than a year. I don't know what's the matter with your sudden visit this time?"

Regarding Zhao Wenhua's question knowingly, Connie Akalin still politely responded to Zhao Wenhua's question. Why did Boeing rush to see the Li's consortium this time?

Conny Akarin is quite dissatisfied with the practices of some groups. In this way, these companies have guaranteed their interests, but who will compensate Boeing for the lost interests? Hundreds of millions of dollars in profits are lost like this. How can he can be willing.

What's worse, this is a disguised form of pushing its important customers to its opponents. Airbus has the profits obtained from these orders and invests in the research and development of new technologies, which will put more and more pressure on Boeing.

He had received news a long time ago that Airbus began to develop ultra-long-range civil aviation airliners three years ago in order to offset the advantages of their Boeing 747 and compete with Boeing in all aspects.

Now the research has come to an end, if everything goes well, it will be able to test flight next year, and it will be put into the market by the end of 86.

When the time comes, Boeing will no longer be the dominant company in terms of ultra-long range. Airbus has never lacked technology, and with the support of many Western European countries, Akarin does not think that their aircraft research and development will fail.

If he can't let Li's consortium continue to cooperate with Boeing, then Xiangjiang Airlines is likely to be an all-Airbus airline in the future, and Boeing will completely withdraw from the historical stage of Xiangjiang Airlines.

This is definitely not what Conny Akarin wants to see, a top global airline, if it does not have a Boeing airliner, it is a huge blow to Boeing.

He said to Zhao Wenhua: "Mr. Zhao, according to what I have learned, your airline plans to purchase 747 planes, including [-] for passengers and [-] for cargo. I know that your company's routes are basically cross-border routes. There is more demand for long-range aircraft, I think our Boeing [-] series is more suitable for you, what do you think?"

Zhao Wenhua naturally hoped that the airline would have a large number of ultra-long-range passenger planes, so that the company could arrange the flight routes more calmly, but this time it was not just a matter of choosing the plane, the US government had already targeted the Li's consortium. I will also shamelessly buy Boeing aircraft.

Although the current strength of the Li's consortium is not too strong, it still has its own backbone. The Li's consortium will definitely not become the follower of the American consortium, let alone survive on its knees.

Until the United States lifts its suppression of the Lee consortium's products, their airline will never purchase a Boeing airliner.

Zhao Wenhua has already received the news that Li Guangyu is going to order a special plane from Airbus to replace the current Boeing special plane, in order to show the attitude of the Li consortium.

Zhao Wenhua said: "Thank you for your attention to our company, but our airline has signed a purchase agreement with Airbus, and the current fleet size can meet the development of the next few years. Our company has no demand for new aircraft for the time being. You have always been an important partner of our group, and if there is a need for development in the future, I will definitely give priority to you Boeing."

Conny Akalin was extremely frustrated and disappointed in his heart. This time, Boeing had no chance. As for Zhao Wenhua's polite words later, he didn't believe it at all.

If it is an important partner, they will not connect with Boeing without notifying them, and they have reached a purchase agreement with Airbus, and they will give priority to Boeing in the future. Then they don't want Boeing to get a purchase order from Xiangjiang Airlines.

Conny Akarin said: "Mr. Zhao, please tell Mr. Li that the increase of tariffs on your Bentley Group's cars and Phoenix mobile phones by the government and Congress has nothing to do with our Boeing. I also hope that Mr. Li can consider it. Our long-term cooperation friendship, don’t treat Boeing differently, our Boeing is far superior to Airbus in terms of quality, price and applicability, and is more suitable for the needs of Xiangjiang Airlines.”

Although Akalin knew that saying these things would not have much effect, he still hoped that Zhao Wenhua would spread the words to Li Guangyu, hoping to win a chance for Boeing. a big client.

Before this incident happened, among these two major companies, Boeing had an advantage over Airbus. The key point is that they have ultra-long-range passenger aircraft, and Xiangjiang Airlines and Cathay Pacific have a considerable demand for this aspect.

If it weren't for England's influence in Xiangjiang, Li's consortium purchased some Airbus planes for certain interests, I am afraid that Xiangjiang Airlines would purchase all of their Boeing passenger planes.

The actions of the U.S. government and the consortium behind it this time caused Boeing to completely lose the business of these two airlines.
