Chapter 654: Agreement Reached: I

"If that's the case, why did you invest in Huaxia?" Anthony Folk's face clearly said, "Lao Tzu was almost deceived by you!"

"If you want to control a company, it doesn't all depend on the shareholding ratio of shareholders, and ......" Chen Geng smiled slightly, looked at Anthony Falk and said: "I dare to take this risk, do you dare?"

β€œ......”

Anthony Falk was speechless: he really didn't dare take that risk. Not to mention that the Huaxia government insisted that the shareholding ratio of Huafang Capital must be more than half, even if the Huaxia government allowed the existence of wholly foreign-owned enterprises, Fokker would not dare to take such a big risk to invest in Huaxia.

Therefore, things are back to square one: Chen Geng dares to take this risk, but Fokker Group does not dare, but Fokker Group wants to take a bite of meat on it, what should I do?

After pondering for a long time, Anthony Falk finally spoke: "Mr. Fernandez, are you really optimistic about the future of the China Airlines market?"

"Not only am I optimistic, McDonnell Douglas is actually very optimistic about the Chinese market. ”

"McDonnell Douglas is also optimistic about the Chinese market?" Anthony Fock's eyes widened in surprise: "You mean...... Say...... McDonnell Douglas is also preparing to invest in building a factory in China?"

"To be precise, it is a joint venture with an aviation company in Huaxia, and the model that McDonnell Douglas is ready to put into production in Huaxia is their latest McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series. ”

β€œ......”

Anthony Falk was dumbfounded: There is such a thing......? Why didn't I hear about it?"

Chen Geng nodded himself with his backhand and said lightly: "You seem to have forgotten my identity?"

β€œ......”

Anthony Falk patted his head and was immediately extremely annoyed in his heart: He really forgot that Fernandez Chen was the general adviser hired by the Chinese government to carry out economic and trade exchanges and technical cooperation between China and the West, and to bring them in! Of course, he knew that such a big matter, and even if this was indeed the case, it was very likely that the Chinese government would have made a connection with McDonnell Douglas through him Fernandez Chen, after all, he had a very good personal relationship with Mr. McDonald Jr. of McDonnell Fellow of McDonnell Fellowship.

Although Anthony Falk still has doubts about the authenticity of this matter, after all, there is no rumor about this matter, but if this matter is true......

"Mr. Fernandez, how can you guarantee that what you said is true?" Anthony Falk gritted his teeth: "If this is just ......"

Before Anthony Falk could finish speaking, Chen Geng interrupted him with a look of surprise and asked, "Why should I promise you?"

Anthony Falk rolled his eyes when he was choked by Chen Geng's words, and his heart was even more depressed to death, but anger was angry, depression was depressed, but Anthony Falk also understood in his heart that Chen Geng really did not have the need and reason to promise himself, he believed it, and he didn't believe it...... I don't believe that I have to find a way to investigate, on the other hand, if this matter is true, Chen Gengken will tell himself such a big thing, which is enough to show his sincerity in cooperation.

After thinking for a while, Anthony Falk finally spoke: "Mr. Fernandez, whether this matter is true or not, but I am willing to gamble on the fact that you have a good personal relationship with the Huaxia government. ”

Chen Geng didn't speak, but raised his eyebrows and motioned for Anthony Falk to continue.

"It's no problem to set up an assembly plant for a new generation of F28 in Huaxia, but we absolutely can't ......accept your monopoly on the Huaxia market."

"Mr. Fokker, when did I talk about building an assembly plant in Huaxia?" Before Anthony Fokker finished speaking, Chen Geng interrupted him, not that Chen Geng was not polite, but that this guy actually deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, which is really an unforgivable sin:" If you look at our previous memorandum of talks, it should be clearly written that the aircraft factory I set up in Huaxia is a company with independent legal personality, and in addition to Fokker authorized this company to produce a new generation of F28 aircraft, if there is a rich production capacity, it can also produce a new generation of F28 for Fokker Company...... Am I mistaken?"

The difference between an assembly plant and an independent company with independent legal personality is big, Chen Geng didn't expect it to be at this point, Anthony Falk actually played with himself like this.

But Anthony Faulk didn't feel embarrassed at all, he turned his head to look at the assistant next to him with a blank face: "Is that so?"

The assistant played the role of the back-handed man perfectly, he quickly took out the memorandum of the last meeting and flipped through it, and then whispered to Anthony Falk with a ashamed face: "Yes sir, Mr. Fernandez's request last time was indeed like this. ”

Anthony Falk glared at his assistant angrily and reprimanded in a low voice: "Pay attention in the future!"

After scolding the assistant, Anthony Falk slowly spoke: "If you authorize production...... Mr. FernΓ‘ndez, it's not entirely impossible. ”

"Oh?"

"First of all, Fokker Aircraft must have a stake in this company," after Chen Geng said that the Chinese government prohibits the emergence of wholly foreign-owned enterprises, only allows joint ventures, and that Chinese capital must occupy more than 50% of the shares, he wisely gave up the requirement of controlling interest: "But in order to ensure the interests of Fokker, I ask you to cover the interests of Fokker." ”

Chen Geng blinked, a little incomprehensible: "For the interests of Fokker Company...... What do you mean?"

"For example, in the following situations, you are responsible for compensating for the losses of Fokker. ”

Chen Geng did not agree, nor did he disagree: "You talk about it first." ”

"First, if the company makes a profit, and Fokker fails to get its due dividends, then Fokker will have to make up for the loss. ”

Chen Geng pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, if the Chinese side fails to get the dividends it deserves without sufficient, credible, and convincing reasons, I will bear your losses." ”

This is also normal, if the company decides to use the dividends of the previous year to expand the scale of production? Do I have to be responsible for your dividends? Only when the Chinese side "hacks" the dividends you deserve, I will be responsible for giving you the dividends in your pocket.

Of course, Anthony Fokker had no opinion on this, and he didn't expect any other situation, so he immediately nodded: "OK," after a brief pause, he continued: "Second, if there is a policy change on the Chinese side that causes a significant investment loss in Fokker aircraft, you will be responsible for covering for Fokker." ”

Chen Geng frowned and thought for a while, before he said uncertainly: "You mean, if the Chinese government forcibly takes possession of the shares of Fokker Company at a low price or directly in the form of confiscation for some reason?"

Anthony Falk nodded, that's what he meant.

Although if a similar situation had happened, the situation of Chen Geng's stake in this company would not have been much better, but what does this have to do with Fokker? I only care about my own losses.

"That's no problem," Chen Geng readily agreed: "If the Chinese side forces the purchase of Fokker shares at a price much lower than the market price, or simply confiscates Fokker shares in this company with government power, I will bear the losses of Fokker Company." ”

I'm sorry, can you agree to such conditions?

Anthony Falk looked at Chen Geng in surprise, and felt that Chen Geng was simply crazy: Are you so confident in the credit of the Huaxia government? After hesitating, Anthony Falk couldn't help but remind Chen Geng: "I have thought of these two possibilities for the time being, if there are other possibilities, I will add them when I go back to negotiating, but ...... Mr. Fernandez, perhaps I need to remind you that the Chinese government has a bad track record of similar behavior, and it is not very long. ”

Of course, Chen Geng knew what Anthony Falk was talking about, and he nodded: "I know, I am willing to gamble, but on the other hand, since I am in my pocket for the interests of your Fokker Company, I also have a few conditions." ”

You say. Anthony Falk said happily.

Since Chen Geng is willing to take such a big risk to protect the interests of Fokker Company, it is normal for people to put forward some conditions to ensure their own interests, and they can't take advantage of all the advantages, right?

Chen Geng: "My shareholding in this joint venture is 30%. ”

Hearing Chen Geng's request, Anthony Falk immediately frowned: The Chinese side mandated that his shareholding ratio should reach and exceed 50%, and now Fernandez requires him to hold 30% of his own shares, and the shares left for Fokker are less than 20%?

The technology and management methods are provided by Fokker and the products produced are authorized by Fokker Company, and in the end Fokker Company is the minority shareholder with the smallest shareholding ratio......

"25%," Anthony Falk pondered for a moment, and said categorically: "Your shares cannot exceed 25% at most, and the shareholding ratio of Huafang Capital can only be 50.01%. ”

That is to say, in the case of a clear determination that Fokker cannot obtain a controlling stake in the company, the limit of Fokker Company's acceptance of its own shareholding is 24.99% of the total share capital, although it is still the smallest shareholder with the largest shareholding, which is infinitely close to the second shareholder, and considering that the company can also obtain a license fee for every new generation of F28 aircraft Fokker can obtain, this is already the limit that Anthony Fokker can accept.

β€œ25%...... OK, then so be it," Chen Geng saw that this was probably the limit that Fokker could accept, and he turned to the second condition: "The repair, maintenance and overhaul of Fokker aircraft in all Asian regions...... Including the engine...... It has to be handed over to me. ”
