142 Acquisition Negotiations

The president, technical director and senior sales department of Cirrus held a welcome ceremony at the airport, and a large number of employees welcomed them, as well as local TV stations came to interview.

Flowers, red carpets, and audiences, like the Cannes Film Festival, blame those funny stars, making foreigners think that Chinese like to walk the red carpet and follow suit.

"Mr. Liu, let me introduce: this is our company's president - Peter, and Lisa director, marketing director - Bright......"

Ashley introduced them one by one, and Liu Yu stepped forward to greet them one by one in Chinese: "President Peter, Director Lisa, Director Bright, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

President Peter stretched out his right hand and responded in broken Chinese: "Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, hello! You are very welcome! ”

Ning Xue looked solemn and thanked in fluent English with a smile: "Thank youforlookingaftersowell."

After a warm exchange, Liu Yu said that he didn't understand at all, but fortunately there was an OL beauty as a translator; Xu Liang also shamelessly "shows off" his English skills, this guy is usually quite reliable, but this time he is teasing home!

……

At the end, he began to give speeches on the stage, first President Peter delivered a speech, which was nothing more than to promote Sino-US exchanges, strengthen business and trade cooperation, and be optimistic about the aviation industry... Wait, cliché.

Then it's Liu Yu's turn, he can only go up hard and play freely, anyway, Americans will definitely not understand, and no one in China can see it, and there are not many overseas Chinese in this kind of place.

"First of all, I am very sorry, I do not know English, I can only give a speech in Chinese, I hope you can understand, thank you!

Of course, it's not that I don't want to learn English, it's mainly that there are too many learning tasks in junior high school, and I can't learn it at all, so I have no choice but to hang up a subject, so the director is in such an embarrassing dilemma today.

However, fortunately, my wife supported the façade, so it was not too embarrassing; Thank you also to Ms. Ashley, President Peter, Director Lisa, Director Bright, and everyone in the room.

I am very happy to come to the United States this time, Cirrus is very enthusiastic and arranged a red carpet, although I don't like it, but I can still understand it.

Blame those ** stars in China, go to Yanjing today to walk the red carpet, tomorrow to Shanghai to walk the red carpet, and what Cannes Film Festival to walk the red carpet, as if Chinese like to walk the red carpet.

In fact, this is not the case, the Chinese are very low-key, I led the delegation to the United States, just to investigate, but I did not expect such a big show.

The United States is a beautiful country and very harmonious, I love it! It's not at all like what Chinese netizens said, what is in dire straits, oppression and exploitation, it's really nonsense......"

Liu Yu first laughed at himself, and then turned to ridicule domestic celebrities and Chinese netizens, and the more he talked, the happier he became, until Ning Xue was stunned and signaled him to shut up quickly.

Ashley was already laughing, and Xu Liang glanced at the camera and looked at the boss with a worried face, he was probably going to be hot again this time!

The latter was unaware of it, but still got down to business:

"Uh~ Of course, I want to say that the American people are very enthusiastic, and we are willing to strengthen Sino-US exchanges, including investing in factories in the United States, and carrying out more economic cooperation projects, mutual benefit and win-win results, complementing each other's advantages!

If we succeed in acquiring the SR line, it will further promote U.S. industry and provide a large number of jobs.

Finally, thank you for your warm welcome, I hope the cooperation between the two sides is happy, and I wish the acquisition plan a smooth future! ”

In the endless applause, Liu Yu returned to Ning Xue's side and said cutely: "Hehe~ Wife, how am I talking?" Humorous? ”

"Humor? Oh my God~ You may be on the verge of becoming an Internet celebrity, you know? Ning Da sighed with a sigh.

Internet celebrities? What influencers?

Xu Liang quietly pointed to the camera, and asked nervously: "Boss, do you know what NBC means?"

nbc?

The NBA has heard that American basketball...

it! Could it be that ...??

"Dear, NBC refers to: NBC, the largest broadcast company in the United States, this time you are really famous, hum~~"

Nani?

Liu Yu had 10,000 grass and mud horses in his heart, galloping back and forth, what are these idiots of Cirrus looking for such a famous TV station? **~~

…………………

After the toss, President Peter and others took the delegation to the SR-20 production workshop to visit the aircraft assembly production line at close range.

At the beginning of this century, all SR production lines were industrially automated, and most of the work on the assembly line operation platform was completed by industrial machine Qì people.

Industrial machine qì people, not "human" type, it belongs to a broad concept, mainly including all kinds of computer-controlled robotic arms, which are very efficient.

In large-scale modern workshops, conveyor belts and overhead cranes send aircraft parts to different locations and assemble them by robotic arms to assist workers.

SR-20 has three production lines, two of which are operating normally, and the other is already idle, mainly because there are too few orders to produce at full capacity.

Even if it is two production lines, the annual output is more than 500 aircraft, which is far greater than the market seek; Cirrus is already considering shutting down one more and working on the SR-22, which is in short supply.

The delegation proposed to acquire three production lines, and President Peter agreed, asking for $500 million to directly transfer all production technology and part of the patents.

This price is a bit outrageous, civil aviation technology is not worth so much money at all, and it is a phased model, which has become a burden for Cirrus.

How much is an SR-20? With less than $500,000 and a profit of no more than 30%, wouldn't it take 3,000 planes to barely recover the cost?

Since its establishment, Cirrus has only produced a total of 5,000 aircraft, and the money has long been earned by them!

"President Peter, although we have money, we are not wronged~" Liu Yu felt unacceptable, shook his head and smiled: "Our bottom line is 300 million US dollars, it is impossible to raise a penny!"

Ashley translated truthfully, and Lisa justifiably defended: "Mr. Liu, we spent more than $500 million on the development of the SR-20 production line, and I swear by it in my personal honor, it is definitely worth the price!"

President Peter also affirmed: "That's right, we also transferred production line technology, which is very important for an aircraft company!" It's even more important than aircraft technology, it can produce other models, doesn't it? ”

This also makes sense, but Liu Yu definitely can't agree, otherwise how can he bargain? The delegation unanimously agreed that the SR-20 production line has fallen behind, although it is more advanced than the Rongfei production line......

The two sides held their own opinions, and the scene was deadlocked, and the negotiations continued until the evening. After a fierce exchange, Cirrus took a step back and asked for $450 million.

The delegation also took a step back and offered to bid $350 million, and the focus of the negotiations was on whether the production line should be based on actual value or technical heritage.

… To be continued...
