Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 747 The Spirit of the Contract

  After lunch, everyone gathered on the balcony to taste the desserts carefully prepared by the pastry chef.

  Different from Easterners who are used to talking about business at the wine table, Westerners prefer to talk about business in formal occasions or in a quiet environment.

   Westerners have always emphasized the spirit of contract, although Western countries have always liked to cheat and not abide by the rules of the game.

   However, between countries, there are only interests at all, and contracts are torn up in the face of national interests.

   This is the case between countries, but the people at the bottom, in business cooperation, the West attaches great importance to contracts, but it is far beyond our imagination.

   As for the reason, the reason is very simple. Many western countries are developed countries, and these countries have very sound systems in all aspects.

  What are the consequences of a sound system?

   That is the rule

  Everyone abides by the rules, but if you don't, can you still play happily with others?

cannot

   Therefore, under the perfect system, everyone abides by the rules, and the signed contract must be fulfilled.

   In addition to this aspect, another is faith.

   Westerners, most believe in Christianity & Christianity.

   In the eyes of Westerners, keeping the contract is the most important moral quality related to faith.

   Therefore, Western talents will emphasize the spirit of contract.

   Based on this, when Westerners talk about business, they always do it in a very sober state, and things decided by drinking cannot be counted.

  Business is business, friendship is friendship.

  Brother, clear account, Westerners can really do this, otherwise the so-called AA system will not appear.

   "I invite everyone to come here today. You must have guessed one or two. This time I came to the UK at the invitation of Mrs. Thatcher to participate in the second round of the UK's privatization bidding.

   Personally, I am very supportive of the current reforms in the UK, and I am willing to accept Mrs Thatcher's invitation to participate in the next bidding of British companies. "

   "This time, I invite everyone to come, mainly because I want to establish an investment company, and we will make joint ventures and participate in the next state-owned enterprise bidding.

   The first company I started with, everyone must have learned from the newspapers, it was British Aerospace Corporation. As for why it is this company, I need to tell you a little bit about it.

  Due to the impact of the oil crisis, companies in Europe and the United States moved a large number of intensive industries to Asia in order to save costs, thus promoting the economic development of developing countries in Asia.

   In order to better adapt to market changes, I plan to establish a civil aviation company in Asia, a service-oriented airline. "

"what does that mean?"

   "This means order"

   "Here I need to make it clear to everyone that once this airline is established, in order to quickly occupy the market, if nothing else happens, it will import at least 50 passenger aircraft every year.

  Remember, I am talking about the minimum number. The Asian market is very large. It is conservatively estimated that at least thousands of passenger aircraft of various types will be needed in the future to meet the market demand. "

   "That is to say, in the next ten years, British Aerospace will not face the problem of insufficient orders and losses."

"And I believe that the world's civil aviation will have great development in the future. British Aerospace Corporation has the foundation to manufacture the A300 passenger plane. This passenger plane is the only plane that can compete with Boeing in the United States, so I am very optimistic about British Aerospace Corporation. future development."

   Prince Charles said with some surprise: "Chen, what do you mean, you want to buy British Aerospace because it can produce A300 passenger jets?"

   Yang Chen nodded and said, "Yes, British Aerospace Corporation is a military enterprise, and it has advantages in aviation manufacturing that other airlines do not have. I am very optimistic about this.

   However, since it is a military-industrial enterprise, if I bid alone in my own name, the result is definitely not what I want to see.

   Actually, I suggested to Margaret Thatcher that the British Aerospace Corporation should be divided into two parts, and the civilian and military ones should be separated, but this suggestion did not get a response. "

   After hearing what Yang Chen said, Susan didn't think much about it, she just said, "I will tell my father about the joint venture after I go back. I will contact you as soon as there is news."

   "Me too (me too Susan just finished speaking when Dale and Marcy on the side looked at each other and said in unison.

  The three daughters were born in the noble class, and their vision is naturally farther than the average person. Yang Chen's ability is beyond doubt, not to mention that the other party is now in the middle of the day, and it is beneficial and harmless to cooperate with him.

   The other party just said the joint venture, and the specific investment depends entirely on the wishes of the family behind them.

   And Yang Chen also means the same, he did not specify how much to invest in, in order to try his best to hold the shares in his own hands.

   Involving the family behind Susan’s group is nothing more than taking the initiative to find a few inspectors, so as to calm the heart of the British government.

   Of course, if the family behind them is a little more courageous, then Yang Chen will not refuse. The more money they pay, the deeper the connection between the two parties will be.

   Since the founding of England, the nobility has been the richest, most powerful, and most charismatic class.

   Just all of this, after the end of World War I and World War II, the aristocracy was gradually deprived of most of its political power. At the same time, the government greatly increased the amount of inheritance tax, which made the life of the British aristocrats increasingly difficult.

  Nowadays, in order to make a living, many nobles open their manors to do tourist business and support their families with tickets.

   I have to say, this is a kind of sadness.

   Of course, these are just the plight of the middle- and lower-class nobles. Like the family behind Susan, the strength is still not to be underestimated.

   As the saying goes, a thin dead camel is bigger than a horse, and the wealth accumulated by the nobles over hundreds of years cannot be wiped out all at once.

  Especially in terms of land, nearly half of the land in the UK is still in the hands of the nobles. These nobles rely on real estate development and rent to live, which is also very nourishing.

   However, as we all know, real estate is the most consuming of funds. These nobles have a large amount of land and real estate in their hands, and it is difficult to realize it.

  Aristocrats who lack cash flow, their wealth is completely unable to match those investment funds, their assets shrink from generation to generation, and if they don't make money, I am afraid that one day they will learn to sell tickets from others.

   Seeing Yang Chen's gaze looking at him, Prince Charles hesitated for a moment, and said, "I can personally participate in the investment, the royal family is fine, the royal family does not intend to get involved."

   Having said what Charles said, Yang Chen knew that the royal family had already stated his position, and he was overjoyed, but he didn't show it, "Well, I will send someone to register the investment company in the next few days, and I will inform you later."
