Chapter 732 Global Procurement

This time, Ekeby came to Rio Island to inspect with great fanfare, and many people knew that the inspection of Rio Island was fake, and the real purpose was to negotiate privately with Zhuang Haiyang, the new wealthy man, on the matter of Merina Airlines.

But in the eyes of many people, if Zhuang Haiyang really decided to form an airline, then it is unlikely that this negotiation will achieve too good results. It is well known that Merina Airlines has been losing money for many years.

Moreover, those who know about this acquisition know that this matter really has nothing to do with Zhuang Haiyang. It's just that Zhuang Haiyang inadvertently said earlier that Liu Island has begun to receive tourists from all over the world, and it is definitely necessary to increase the corresponding air capacity.

With the current strength of Merlina Airlines, I am afraid that many international tourists will feel a lot of pressure when they get on the plane. Because of this, Zhuang Haiyang will specially purchase a passenger plane to prepare to pick up and drop off tourists to and from China.

It's just that given the strength of Merina's aviation, there are really big problems. In order to ensure the safety of tourists from all over the world, Zhuang Haiyang still feels that the establishment of a new airline should make tourists who take the plane feel safer.

But Zhuang Haiyang didn't expect that he didn't want to start so early, but because the news reached Antoff's ears, he was more active than himself. And the reason for Antoff's positive is naturally the desire to order more passenger aircraft.

The previous two planes made the Gallic side very happy. If Zhuang Marine can complete the acquisition of Merina Airlines, it is believed that more new passenger aircraft will be ordered. And before, Merina Airlines actually wanted to buy it.

The question is, is it possible that the authorities in Merina simply could not come up with this money and were counting on a loan from the Gallic side?

Since these people are so positive, if Zhuang Haiyang doesn't take care of it, won't he seem too unbusinessman?

When President Ecoby left, many officials in his entourage were also curious: "Mr. President, I don't know what happened about the airline, how much is he willing to pay, and what about the acquisition of our airline?"

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

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

This also means that there are not many options left for the Merina authorities. Do you really want to stiffen the relationship? I'm afraid it's not good for anyone. And those who want to reap the benefits of the acquisition case are afraid that they have miscalculated this time.

As Mr. President said? After a few phone calls? Extremely professional lawyers and negotiators soon began negotiations with the Merina authorities. To the surprise of all the officials involved in the negotiations? The terms of the negotiations, however, were a bit harsh.

But the negotiator showed the airline's property and reported: "According to what we have investigated, your airline loses tens of millions of dollars every year. And this loss? It's improving every year.

Besides? What is the real value of an airline, perhaps its employees? There is also the airport building under the name of the airline. But in fact, there are many problems in this company, and many people don't even go to work, but they lead a lot of companies.

And also? What are the so-called property reports you provide? The price is inflated a lot. Just those planes that don't know how many hands to turn? Do you think our boss will need it? Even if this kind of plane is sold at a discount, who would dare to sell it?"

Accompanied by the first negotiation? The two sides announced the suspension due to the big differences, and Antoff and others, who were concerned about the acquisition, were naturally actively campaigning. Just seeing the evidence presented by the negotiating delegation, Ekeby also felt a little blushing.

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

Airlines want to make money, and only if they have enough passengers for every round trip. Merina itself is not well-known, and airlines can only carry out round-trip flights except for a few people who need it.

Moreover, Merina Airlines, the airports where the plane can stop, are also in the surrounding neighboring countries. To put it simply, countries that are too far away, with the mileage of Merina's plane, I am afraid that they will not be able to fly at all.

People from many countries want to come to Merina, and sometimes they have to choose to change planes. Even domestic airlines began to dispatch planes after Zhuang Haiyang's investment to carry out corresponding round-trip flight missions from time to time.

In some cases, the aircraft carrying out such a flight has to be diverted to other international airports, and a group of passengers can be fully flown back home. Otherwise, there is always a shortage of passengers, which airline is willing to fly this route?

As many expected, the Merina authorities were able to offer too few terms for negotiation. Even the lawyer who represented Zhuang Haiyang in the negotiation said very politely: "In addition to our agent, is anyone willing to take your burden?"

That's right, in the eyes of the lawyer in charge of the negotiations, the acquisition is purely to help Melina solve the burden. If this business continues, the Merina authorities will not only make money, but also pay a lot of money to the company every year.

After Zhuang Haiyang's acquisition, the company remained under the name of the Merina authorities, but changed from state-owned to private. Those who only took money and didn't work before will naturally be cleared out. And the government, with only a little stake in oversight.

After nearly a month of negotiations, in the end, the old king came forward and led several senior executives of the airlines to meet with Zhuang Haiyang in person. Zhuang Haiyang took a step back to implement the acquisition.

In a word, the debts owed by the airline before can be paid by Zhuang Haiyang after the acquisition. The aircraft currently owned by the company, as well as the corresponding terminals, will become privately owned by Zhuang Haiyang.

Overall, the Merlina authorities have earned hundreds of millions of dollars from the sale of airlines, and they have also shaken off this burden. And Zhuang Haiyang is not too much of a loss, but still got the ownership of the airline.

For oversight purposes, the Merina authorities also have a 10 percent stake in the airline. The remaining 90% of the shares are naturally owned by Zhuang Haiyang. This state-owned airline, which has existed for many years, can be regarded as completely changing its surname to Zhuang.

The acquisition was signed, Zhuang Haiyang was as happy as ever, and the loan owed by the airline to the state for many years was also repaid in one lump sum. The Minister in charge of the bank was undoubtedly the happiest to see this money.

This kind of non-performing loans, banks have never thought of having a chance to recover them before. Everyone knows that the previous airline was a bottomless pit, and the Merina authorities could not close it yet. Grounding all airlines, so how can others come to Merina?

After the completion of the acquisition, seeing the representatives of Sam's Country and Gallic Airlines who came to the door one after another, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "I naturally recognize the quality of your country's aircraft." It's just that I need a real machine!"

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

These two routes, one south and one north, are also convenient for more domestic passengers to fly to Merina and visit the island of Rio. At the end of the day, whether airlines can make a profit depends on whether the island of Riu can be recognized.

As soon as the news came out, other airlines with existing planes soon joined the ranks of this rush for orders. In addition to the requirements for a well-built aircraft, price and safety are also very important.

The consuls of various countries in Merina, who had contacted Zhuang Haiyang earlier, also began to join the bidding. And the real benefit is naturally Zhuang Haiyang. Equally happy are the airline staff.

In order to repay the company's previous foreign debts, Zhuang Haiyang invested another 300 million US dollars in airport maintenance and expansion, as well as improving the welfare of the company's employees. Correspondingly, if the company's employees want to get a job, they also need training before taking up their posts.

The previous attitude of messing around will definitely not be approved by the company in the future. Even, at the construction site on Rio Island, a group of young women who had learned 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. When they learned that the management was going to recommend them to the airline as flight attendants, the young women were naturally happy. In the future, they will have the opportunity to fly in China.

The improvement of welfare benefits is naturally a good thing. Correspondingly, the work pressure of the former company employees has naturally increased a lot. If you can't get along, you can only find another job, and if you want to stay, you must change your work attitude.

What is even more surprising to all parties is that after Zhuang Haiyang picks up the mobile phone field and the terminal, the first thing to change is the security measures of the airport. The local security personnel in Merina, who had been recruited earlier, also took over the security duties of the airport.

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

Don't look at the matter of ordering planes, Chinese companies don't 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 tender.

The problem is that Huaguo Construction Company offers a lower price and the construction time is shorter. When other foreign companies involved in the bidding learned that Huaguo had successfully won the maintenance contract, it was somewhat incredulous.

The representative of Huaguo Construction Company, who could participate in the bidding, also said directly: "You don't know that the title of Huaguo Construction Maniac is not boasted, but really done." ”

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

In this case, it undoubtedly gives the engineering team more time to work. Some Melina people who came back from abroad were also surprised when they saw the airport that had obviously changed greatly when they left the station: "This is really the airport where I went abroad before?"

"That's for sure! It's just that the airlines have changed their bosses, and the state-owned enterprises have become private enterprises. ”

"If the state continues, the airlines will go out of business sooner or later. It's better to sell it to a private person. Every time I go to a foreign airport and then return to our airport, I always feel too ugly. ”

People who have the capital to go abroad often naturally know how big the gap between domestic airlines and foreign airlines is. Now they are naturally happy to see the new airport. Airports are often a country's face project!

What makes these people happiest is that the airport's facilities and service quality 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, many people wanted to go to other cities, so they had to choose to take a car. As an island nation, Merina did not build a railroad at all. Even if it is a road, it cannot be compared with the high-speed companies in other countries.

With the opening of domestic air routes, the connection between the capital and other cities in the country has undoubtedly become more convenient. Just a month after Zhuang Haiyang took over the airline, four brand-new large passenger planes quickly landed on the expanded tarmac.

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 countries to fly to, it is much more convenient than before.

As far as the person in charge of the airline hired, he seemed a little worried: "Boss, if you open routes to these countries, you will lose a lot of fuel consumption every time you go round trip! In the long run, I am afraid that the company will lose a lot of money." ”

"Don't worry! Let our crew get acquainted with these routes first. If there are few guests, it is precisely to act as a cargo plane. During this time, many ingredients on the island began to be supplied to these countries, and they could also make money by bringing goods. ”

Although they are all enterprises under the name of Zhuang Haiyang, the management group of Keliu Island needs airlines to consign materials, and they also need to pay corresponding fees. For domestic buyers, they can also get fresher and more timely ingredients.

Just when the first four large passenger planes officially settled at Merina International Airport, the plane from China was full. Employees of travel companies who have been trained for a long time will also officially start adaptation learning before the soft opening.

This includes receiving tourists from the airport and arranging for them to travel to the island by yacht or helicopter. The former takes a little longer, but is relatively affordable. The latter is faster, but undoubtedly more expensive.

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

To the bewilderment of many people, the 10 helicopters were not procured from one country, or even several countries. But these civilian helicopters are undoubtedly helicopters with relatively good performance. Among them, there are even helicopters made in China.

In short, in the case of such a global purchase, many people feel that if the business of Rio Island does not improve, I am afraid that Zhuang Haiyang will not be far from bankruptcy. The question is, will Zhuang Haiyang do something that has no confidence?
