Chapter 716: Boeing from the Heart
Boeing's headquarters in Seattle has been suffocatingly low for the past two days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
For many Boeing executives, the feeling of being pressed to the ground and rubbed against it has not been experienced for a long time.
As a leader in the industry, only Boeing has always rubbed others, when did it fall to being rubbed by others?
If the opponent is Airbus or Lockheed, Boeing can accept it, at least the frustration will not be so strong.
But after learning about its real opponents, Boeing's mood up and down was very weird.
Grumman's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas began because of the proposal of Hu Wenhai, the richest man in the world by Chinese.
Grumman's purchase of McDonnell Douglas was made by Hu Wenhai from piggybacking on the oil futures market.
As early as half a year ago, Boeing's stock was secretly opened to suppress the stock price at a critical moment -- this business actually made money, and Boeing's stock price was not so high half a year ago, and it was obviously speculated after intervening in the acquisition of McDonnell Douglas.
The main reason McDonnell Douglas agreed to be acquired by Grumman was the $10 billion Century Order from China. The order was actually provided by China's China Railway Construction Investment Bank, and one of the major shareholders behind it was Hu Wenhai of ST Group.
The formation of the European United Insurance Team was planned by Hu Wenhai, and the $40 billion claim amount is the sword of Damocles hanging over Europe's head.
They can be used by Hu Wenhai to deal with Boeing today, and it is conceivable that as long as they are within the tentacles of these European financial conglomerates, they will be used by Hu Wenhai to the fullest in the future.
Looking back from the perspective of ordinary people, the meaning behind this series of actions is really terrifying.
Wise and almost demonic.
In order to make all these preparations, Hu Wenhai must first accurately foresee the outbreak of the Gulf War, foresee that the United States will definitely interfere in oil prices, foresee McDonnell Douglas's business difficulties, foresee that China will purchase a large number of airlines and passenger planes, foresee that the United States will make external moves, foresee that the United States will fall into a quagmire in Iraq, and foresee that the United States will turn to seek the support of the United Nations resolutions......
Man, I'm afraid to scare myself.
In fact, how could Mr. Hu be so exaggerated? When he invested in oil, he was almost ruined by the US imperialists. Later, the development of the war situation in Iraq was completely divorced from his understanding of history.
The matter has become so big, Hu Wenhai himself is actually a little confused.
It's just that some of the previous preparations did play a role, and Boeing's intervention in McDonnell Douglas was acquired by Grumman, which is the right thing to do. The early acquisition of Boeing shares is a shot with and without dates. Of course, it's best to be able to use it, and you won't lose money if you don't use it, so why not?
In the final analysis, it is still a problem, and Boeing feels that it is very good, because its opponents are Grumman, McDonnell Douglas, Airbus, ST Group, and Hu Wenhai.
They were wrong.
Boeing's real enemy is China, the national power of Europe. Can Hu Wenhai himself coordinate China's vote at the United Nations? Can he develop weapons and equipment that can affect the situation in Iraq? Can he survive in the oil market? Can he order the 15 European foreign ministers to jointly impose sanctions on Boeing?
Boeing is fighting against a rising China with a strong desire to master its aerospace manufacturing capabilities.
Mr. Hu is not a peerless master of punching stars, he is full of iron and can hit a few nails. He was able to do this to this extent because he was standing behind him one of the five major liumangs of the United Nations.
He is nothing without a strong country with a complete industrial system as a background.
Boeing not only mistook its opponent from the beginning, but also finally attributed all these achievements to Hu Wenhai.
Combined with Mr. Hu's previous achievements, Boeing can imagine what the mood of the senior executives will be during this time.
I have never faced Mr. Hu's feelings, and many people always disdain Mr. Hu's legend, thinking that it is too exaggerated, so that it is detached from reality, and it is more like absurd gossip in a roadside stall literary magazine.
But when Boeing got serious and collected all the information about its opponents, it was indeed frightened.
Buy a lottery ticket and you can win more than a million dollars.
Write a random chemical formula, and you can create a billion-dollar patent fee in a year.
There was no laboratory, and I designed a lithium-ion battery based on my own head.
A person who has not been a soldier for a day can guide the development model of future warfare.
Talking to Motorola about the fab project, he easily formed an eighteen-way anti-IBM coalition and knocked IBM off the computer hegemony -- note that the key to his success was Cisco, which he had acquired two years earlier.
Casually short the U.S. stock index, and then there was the stock market crash of the century that left the history books.
IGCT, general section shipbuilding, and then CDMA90. Not to mention, Hu Wenhai's wave of divine operations in the Soviet show.
So far, Hu Wenhai's demonic image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Boeing, who was beaten with a head covered, originally just wanted to have a deep understanding of his opponent in order to deal with it calmly.
However, after President Frank Anderson Schlongz repeatedly questioned the intelligence services for submitting reports, and after Vice President Philcondit was repeatedly slapped in the face for his remarks that "the tabloids dare not make up such stories", Boeing's top executives had to admit this fact.
There are indeed TM openers in this world, and apparently their opponents are ready-made examples.
The more I learned, the more panicked I became, and when the intelligence department repeatedly confirmed the verified information, a question was urgently put on Boeing's conference table.
Do you want to continue fighting Grumman for McDonnell Douglas?
"I must state that I myself am an absolute atheist. I believe in God, but I believe in science more. ”
Schronze's face was serious, and he said categorically: "No matter how incredible Hu Wenhai's resume is, I firmly believe that there must be a scientific explanation." He could never have done these things alone, and there must have been the assistance of the Chinese government and other organizations behind it. ”
"I'd rather Hu Wenhai himself have some magical ability, then just deal with him alone. ”
Philcondit sat in his seat and muttered silently: "If these deeds are rationalized, the power behind them will be even more terrifying!"
If there is a scientific explanation, the US president may not be able to do this to this extent as a spy for China, right?
Schronze ignored Philcondette's thoughts, but continued to chair the meeting, and said: "Boeing's stock price has changed drastically in the past few days, and I think all the directors and managers are under pressure. Boeing's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas stock has fallen into a difficult situation. McDonnell Douglas' minority shareholders have become very cautious about selling shares, often requiring a premium of more than 300% to make a deal. ”
As for stock swaps, Boeing's stock has become much less attractive to McDonnell Douglas shareholders. This has effectively announced that our Boeing acquisition of McDonnell Douglas has failed. At today's meeting, I hope to be able to reach a conclusion. That's Boeing's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas, is it going to continue?"
Philcondit didn't wait for Schlenz to finish speaking, then snatched the conversation and said simply: "President Schlonz is right, our real opponents are Xinke Group and Hu Wenhai. The more we learn about this man, the more we feel the horror of him, or the horror of the shadows that hide behind him. But that's why I have to remind you—"
He stared at the blood-red eyes that had not been closed all night, and said in a gloomy tone: "Once Grumman buys McDonnell Douglas, in fact, we all know that McDonnell Douglas is going to be acquired by the ST Group. Think about it, if we put people like Hu Wenhai into the field of aviation manufacturing, can we still have a better life?"
"Rather than dealing with this horrible creature every day in the future, we should work harder now to try to keep him out. ”
One executive frowned, shook his head, and said: "But we have no leverage, and if we continue to acquire McDonnell Douglas, the reaction from the European side will be more intense." If the European market is lost, the acquisition of McDonnell Douglas will not be able to compensate for the losses suffered by Boeing. ”
"Yes, Boeing's stock price has fallen during this period of time, which has had a very bad impact on investors. Another executive director nodded and agreed: "We should be responsible for the interests of our shareholders, and it is unwise to continue to fight against it." ”
"I don't think there's any need to exaggerate the power that Hu Wenhai represents, because the aerospace industry is a very technical field. We all know what Boeing is built on, tens of thousands of suppliers, continuous investment in high-tech industries, tens of billions of dollars in research and development spending, and a team of high-quality workers are the foundation of Boeing. ”
"Yes, yes, Hu Wenhai may be very good in other fields, but the aviation industry is not just luck to do things well. Others also chimed in: "It's okay to let the Chinese in, then they will know that aviation manufacturing and textile and toy production are completely different!"
In the final analysis, in the financial field, Boeing and these people are really scared by Hu Wenhai.
However, in the field of industrial manufacturing, these people have a strong self-confidence. Playing financial Boeing may be a little worse, but "no one can beat me in my BGM!", Boeing, the leading leader in the aviation industry, is convinced.
Since we can't prevent Xinke from entering, then we can simply open up the market and teach them how to behave in our advantageous projects!
McDonnell Douglas was originally Boeing's defeated men, can the Chinese challenge Boeing if they get McDonnell Douglas?
Philcondit's face turned pale, and he sighed in despair as he looked at the other colleagues who were proud on the surface, but trembling like frightened rabbits on the inside.
He knew that no one could stop Grumman's takeover of McDonnell Douglas.
