Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 427 Take the Hook!

Qin Xin originally planned to follow the plane back to China after finishing the matter with Victorville.However, Bombardier's matter was unplanned. After talking to Xu Cang, Qin Xin temporarily changed her itinerary plan, delayed her flight back to China, and first went to Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Bombardier's headquarters is located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Before Xu Cang expected to go to Canada in the near future, he asked the relevant personnel of the company to apply for a Canadian visa in advance. It was very convenient for Qin Xin to change his itinerary to Canada.

Qin Xin did not go to Bombardier to sign a contract. Bombardier’s divestiture of commercial large aircraft business and part of business jet business involves major transactions. It takes a long time to draw up an agreement. Qin Xin used to just finalize the general framework. The rest of the details need to be negotiated slowly by the two teams, and finally Xu Cang needs to make a final decision.

Xu Cang's trip to Bombardier was completely beyond Xu Cang's expectations. He knew that Bombardier would not be able to hold on, but it was unexpected that he would surrender so quickly.Therefore, even though Qin Xin considered many possible unexpected situations, when she really went to Canada, she still found that there was not enough manpower.

Previously, the legal team led by Qin Xin needed to stay in the United States to negotiate with Boeing about the introduction of the remaining 757 production lines, and some of them had to follow Xiao Lingyun to acquire certain assets. There was really no manpower available.

Originally, Qin Xin planned to transfer some people from China.However, when Xu Cang learned about it, he felt it was too troublesome. He was going to the ICAO headquarters in Montreal anyway, and he had already applied for a Canadian visa in advance, so he simply flew to Canada from Japan and was followed directly by him. Bombardier negotiates acquisition agreement.

Xu Cang does not understand very specific legal rules for signing agreements. He did not go to discuss legal-related content, but to set a few standards, first determine the framework, and then fill in the rest of the content by the following people. Can.

Xu Cang will be very busy during this period, but after these two months, things will not be so intensive.

Therefore, Xu Cang temporarily booked a plane ticket to Montreal, and flew there that night.

On the second day, Jiasu Airlines publicly announced its own fleet innovation plan, and at the same time began to expand the diversification of Japan's domestic routes.

Previously, Jiasu Airlines' routes were mostly between second- and third-level airports. However, with the upgrade plan of domestic routes, the main routes of routes began to move upward as a whole, and more and more route applications involving first-level airports were submitted to JCAB.

In the past, it was one thing for Jiasu Airlines to submit the route application, and it was another matter whether JCAB would approve it or not. But now, JCAB is extremely afraid of Xu Cang, and these routes are not particularly important international routes. Batch most of them.

In recent times, Jiasu Airlines' reputation has begun to recover.As a former national-level airline, it began to glow with new vitality with the help of Xu Cang's Dongfeng.

As Jiasu Airlines began to advance into first-tier airports, its impact on the domestic market of airlines such as All Nippon Airways began to appear more and more obvious.

However, now that ANA’s notoriety is getting worse and worse, Jiasu Airlines has gradually eroded ANA’s market share.However, limited by the fleet factor of Jiasu Airlines, this change in market share is not too obvious. When the fleet of Jiasu Airlines begins to transform, the capacity will be greatly increased, and the offensive and defensive situation will be changed. more obvious.

ANA knew this very well, but they still chose to accept Xu Cang's conditions.

However, Xu Cang has already left Japan, and after finishing his work in Canada, he will not return to Japan, but will return directly to China, and all subsequent agreements will be completed by Xu Cang's client, Yue Sheng.

The pressure on Yue Sheng is still relatively heavy. In addition to presiding over the fleet transformation of Jiasu Airlines, he also has to sign an agreement with All Nippon Airways. In addition, he has to negotiate a merger with Japan Airlines to maximize benefits.

Of course, these were not what Xu Cang wanted to worry about.

If the body can hold on, Xu Cang also plans to go to the United States after solving the Canadian matter, and explain the follow-up cooperation matters with Pratt & Whitney.

Originally, he was going to participate in Pratt & Whitney's test aircraft flight test in the near future, but now that his health is not allowing it, the matter will naturally be put on hold, and the time may be relatively long.

In addition, after finding out the domestic engine level, he is not so enthusiastic about Pratt & Whitney's planetary gear technology. Anyway, he has to wait for the mysterious company to complete the research and development of the engine gearbox before he can make a breakthrough in the variable speed engine. sex.

Xu Cang's strides were too big before, but now that he thinks about it, he should go slower.

Of course, the most important thing is that he feels that Pratt & Whitney's PW8000 engine test will not yield any other gains except danger. Isn't this causing trouble for himself?

After delaying for a few months, after he completed the bargain hunting for that part of the US assets, and everything settled, he considered severing cooperation with Pratt & Whitney.Of course, due to some previous transactions with Puhui, Xu Cang may suffer losses as a result, but compared to his own body, some losses are still acceptable.

He can't always play life-threatening dramas. He often walks by the river. How can he not get his shoes wet?

Fortunately, as long as you buy the bottom of this wave of assets in the United States, and then rely on low-interest loans from the United States to see if you can get more funds, part of it will be used to repay the money from the banks in Europe, and the other part will see if you can win Germany. Reinsurance company in Munich.

In the 9 incident, the insurance industry was greatly impacted.In just a few days, the share price of Germany's Munich Re Insurance Company has fallen by one-third.This is still on the premise that the actual amount of compensation it has to pay has not been disclosed. When investors see the final compensation amount of Munich Re Insurance Company in Germany, their blood pressure will burst. By then, the stock price will drop. At least in the short term, it is absolutely not difficult to make a half discount.

Even if the German Munich Reinsurance Company can't die this time, it will definitely need a lot of financing.Before that, there were barriers to entry in the insurance industry, and it wasn't something you could just invest in if you wanted to.

The type of insurance is calculated by an actuary. As long as the sample is large enough, the insurance company will make a steady profit without losing money for a long period of time.

According to Xu Cang's prediction, the German Munich Reinsurance Company will suffer heavy losses this time, but it will not die directly.When it is weak, the acceptance of external funds will be forced to increase.However, after the 9 incident, external capital will be cautious about investing in this industry in the face of the terrible loss in the insurance industry, which will make it difficult for Xu Cang to compete with many competitors.

Xu Cang's investment is even more valuable when there is no competitive pressure and the German Munich Re Insurance Company is in crisis and urgently needs money.

In Xu Cang's view, even if the German Munich Re Insurance Company fell into a trough, its huge size was still not something Xu Cang could swallow even in its thin period.However, if Xu Cang can be given more than two years of accumulation time, it will be hard to say.

However, the weak period of the insurance industry will only last for less than a year. After that, not only has it stepped out of the trough, but it has even ushered in an explosive growth.

The underlying principle is that when people recover from the 9 incident, they will feel more and more necessary for insurance, which will prompt people to buy more insurance, which will lead to the rapid growth of the insurance industry.

Once it breaks free from the downturn of the whole industry, the plight of Munich Re will come out.

At that time, the cost of investment will also rise linearly as the situation of Munich Re in Germany improves.

At that time, the value of investing in German Munich Re was much lower.

Anyway, Xu Cang didn't want to control Munich Re, but only regarded it as a blood bag of his own.

When Xu Cang went to Canada, Luo Tianrong also welcomed an unexpected guest in the office of Tianrong Aviation Materials, Qiao Lin, the junior aviation material inspection supervisor of Spring Airlines.

Before, Qiao Lin was just an ordinary quality inspector. If he was promoted and became a small leader, he would be proud of himself.Moreover, I made a lot of money by trading some imitation aviation materials with Tianrong Aviation Materials, and I am in a good mood.

In the past, a salary of four to five thousand a month was a way of life. I thought that if I could reach eight thousand a month, then I would have nothing to desire in this life.

Now relying on the replacement of aviation materials, Qiao Lin can get an average of nearly [-] black-hearted money a month. It stands to reason that this money is enough for Qiao Lin to spend, but it is not the case.

With more money, Qiao Lin gradually felt that it was the same as when he had a salary of four or five thousand. He was always tight on money. The only difference was that he had an extra woman to support him.

Four or five thousand a month is a tight budget, and more than 2 a month is still tight. Isn't this busy work for nothing?
It just so happened that Qiaolin recently received a message, and a thought that had been hidden a long time ago gradually took over his mind.

However, Luo Tianrong was not too impressed with Qiao Lin's arrival.

He could tell that Qiao Lin was the kind of guy who wanted money without risking his life. When he saw an opportunity to make money, he would rush forward without looking to see if there were any pitfalls in front of him. He was a complete idiot.Therefore, he was very cautious in supplying Jolin.

In fact, a long time ago, Qiao Lin said that the purchase volume of Spring and Summer Airlines had increased.However, for the sake of safety, Luo Tianrong insisted on not increasing the supply, which made Qiao Lin very angry.

Luo Tianrong didn't need to think about it. With Qiao Lin's stupid mind, he was probably urging himself to increase the supply again.

In fact, in the transaction with Qiao Lin, Luo Tianrong made some profits, but not to the point of exaggeration.

This time, he must refuse as before. If Qiao Lin still came to bother him like this in the future, Luo Tianrong would consider whether to terminate the cooperation.For that little money, it's not worth having a fly buzzing in your ear all day long.

In the past, when Qiao Lin came over, Luo Tianrong would order someone to make a pot of tea, but now, there is no more tea.

Luo Tianrong lay down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

Qiao Lin also knew that Luo Tianrong was annoyed to him, but he was thick-skinned enough, as long as he could make money, he didn't care about his face.

I saw Qiao Lin rubbing his hands: "President Luo, this time Spring and Summer Airlines wants to increase the purchase of aviation materials to more than three times the previous one. This is a big deal."

"Big business, big business, didn't I tell you before that the supply is only so much, don't you understand?" Luo Tianrong rolled his eyes, thinking that Qiao Lin was really stupid like a pig, and immediately pointed His nose scolded: "Three times? Spring and summer airlines have tripled their planes, no? Then why do they need so much more aviation materials? Can you think about it with your brain, in case it is a It’s a pit. Once my factory starts, it needs to take risks.”

Qiao Lin knew about Luo Tianrong's shadow factory.At present, the production capacity of Tianrong Aviation Materials is so much, and Qiao Lin can't do it if he wants more counterfeit aviation materials, unless Luo Tianrong can start the shadow factory.But once the factory started working, it was a huge target. If caught, Luo Tianrong would be in big trouble.

Therefore, Luo Tianrong would only start a shadow factory when it was necessary to trade with old customers.Qiao Lin has no eyesight at all. He helped others count the money after being sold, and he still had to take risks.

Of course, the most important thing is that reason.

Spring Airlines' fleet has not been greatly expanded. Why do they need so many more aviation materials all at once? The word "ghost" is written on their foreheads. I don't understand this?

However, Qiao Lin seemed to be confident this time, and became excited: "Mr. Luo, this time it's really not a trick. I figured out what's going on."

"Huh?" Luo Tianrong was startled: "What is the situation?"

"The reason for the sudden increase in demand for aviation materials in spring and summer."

Luo Tianrong looked at Qiao Lin suspiciously: "Tell me."

"Not long ago, I found out that Gong Yue's Xianchi branch would dispatch [-] aircraft, which is much more than the current fleet of Spring and Summer Airlines, and the demand for aviation materials has naturally increased a lot. .”

"Gong Yue is willing to distribute the plane to Xu Cang?" Luo Tianrong frowned, and immediately felt that this matter was nonsense.

There must be a rift between Gong Yue and Xu Cang. Gong Yue had done his best not to make trouble for Xu Cang, and he could still help, just kidding.

However, Qiao Lin said the second half of the sentence mysteriously: "President Luo, do you know? Xu Cang applied for Gong Yue's company quota in Northwest Airlines, and Xu Cang did what Gong Yue had been thinking about all along. .Besides, I heard that Xu Cang doesn't care about Gong Yue. Isn't this equivalent to delegating power? Apart from the name, he belongs to Spring Airlines, and Gong Yue is actually independent. This is a great kindness, and Gong Yue transferred It is reasonable to give some planes to Xu Cang."

This news almost made Luo Tianrong jump up.

"What are you talking about? Xu Cang really did this. Isn't that making Gong Yue the Jiedu envoy? He wants to be Li Longji?" Luo Tianrong couldn't believe his ears.

To be reasonable, this kind of thing should be confirmed by investigation, so there is a high probability that Qiao Lin did not lie to him, but this matter is really a bit strange. Isn't Xu Cang afraid of Gong Yue's personal kingdom?

"Mr. Luo, Gong Yue's branch was formerly the property of Northwest Airlines. Before his death, Mr. Si threw such a hidden danger to Xu Cang, hoping that Xu Cang would have some magic trick to subdue Gong Yue. But now it seems , Xu Cang is not a god, didn't he rely on compromise to make Gong Yue honest?" Qiao Lin laughed.

Luo Tianrong didn't answer. Logically speaking, what Qiao Lin said was indeed convincing, and it was in line with Luo Tianrong's thinking.

Gong Yue's family background is too strong, and he has been included in Muhua Airlines for so many years and still maintains great independence. How can Xu Cang handle this thorn?
Therefore, what Xu Cang is doing now is to compromise with Gong Yue.

Delegate power and fight for him to get a place in the Northwest Airlines company, in exchange for Gong Yue not to be obedient, and to give him appropriate help.

And giving this total of seventeen aircraft to Spring and Summer Airlines is Gong Yue's reciprocation.

No matter from which point of view, this explanation is very reasonable.

Otherwise, unless Xu Cang went crazy, it would be impossible to give Gong Yue such great independence.

This is a one time...compromise.

In this way, this time it is really not digging a hole, but is there really such a big demand for Spring and Summer Airlines?

In the past, the business with Qiao Lin was a small one, but after three times the expansion, it was also a big business that Luo Tianrong should not underestimate.

At this moment, Luo Tianrong was a little moved.
