Chapter 387: Monopoly and Hegemony
A $13.8 billion contract is a very heavyweight and unimaginable scale for any company in the world, and no company can immediately pay all the funds for the total contract price when the contract is signed.
A large number of reporters began to rush to Seattle from all over the United States, and this time Dongchen dropped a bombshell on the US financial market! 13.8 billion in cash! Boeing will receive $13.8 billion in cash paid by Dongchen in the near future! As soon as the news came out, the stock market reacted the fastest, and it took only two hours for Boeing's stock to rise and fall from the noon news spread.
Raymond was so excited that he couldn't add anything, and the media of various countries had already published this news before they sent reporters to Seattle, and N gave Dongchen a nickname that was later adopted by the global media: the adrenaline of the financial world!
Yes, if anyone has the opportunity to get involved with Dongchen, then it is equivalent to being injected with adrenaline, and quickly bursting out of energy far beyond their instincts, Boeing's stock limit is just the beginning, everyone firmly believes in one thing, that is, this 13.8 billion US dollars, is enough to help Boeing completely monopolize the civil airliner market in the shortest possible time!
Even the spokesman of the U.S. Department of Commerce expressed surprise and appreciation for Dongchen's decision, believing that the cooperation between Dongchen and Boeing will not only promote the development of the two enterprises themselves, but also promote the mutual cooperation between the Chinese and American economies.
A large number of reporters flocked to Seattle and squeezed into Boeing's press conference hall, and Zhang Wenhao was unequivocal in his "good deeds" to the end, not only signing the order contract with Boeing in front of the global media, but also immediately notifying the financial department of Dongchen Group after signing the order, and remitting the full amount of the total contract price to Boeing's account.
After Boeing's financial director confirmed that the funds were credited on the spot, Zhang Wenhao and Raymond exchanged contracts in their hands, looked at each other, and their brotherly tacit understanding was fully displayed in front of the media.
After signing the contract, Zhang Wenhao did not ask questions from reporters, but said indifferently in front of the world's media: "Dongchen and Boeing will work together in the field of civil aviation passenger aircraft, and a new era of civil aviation is coming." ”
Zhang Wenhao and Raymond left the press conference with Raymond at this time, and as soon as he arrived in the lounge, Raymond said excitedly: "I have contacted the Ministry of Commerce and conveyed the message that Dongchen wants to acquire GM and Pratt & Whitney civil aircraft engines." ”
Zhang Wenhao asked with concern: "Oh? What is the attitude of the Ministry of Commerce? ”
Raymond smiled: "The key is not the attitude of the Department of Commerce, but the attitude of the White House." ”
Saying, Raymond explained: "The White House has negotiated, they believe that GM and Pratt & Whitney have lost their competitiveness in the field of civil engines, continue to consume, and the little remaining market will only make them fall into a loss vortex and cannot extricate themselves, and the White House also knows that if Boeing and Dongchen want to play the greatest strength in the shortest possible time, what both sides urgently need is to increase production capacity, so the White House feels that if GM and Pratt & Whitney give up civil aviation engines, based on Dongchen's offer, it will be a good thing for them. And it's a good thing for Boeing and Dongchen as well, so they've authorized the Commerce Department to negotiate with GM and Pratt & Whitney, and I think they'll respond soon. ”
…,
Zhang Wenhao nodded and asked, "How likely do you think it is to succeed?" ”
Raymond laughed, "One hundred percent." After speaking, he said: "The current situation is obvious, in the past, GM and Pratt & Whitney regarded their respective engine technology and production lines as the highest trade secrets, and they also have certain strategic significance, but now, Dongchen's technology in this area has far surpassed the two of them, and their trade secrets have become worthless, and the strategic significance has been completely lost. What reason do they have for refusal? Don't forget, there's also the White House behind the scenes, and I think it's only a matter of time before the takeovers are made. ”
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly, he already had a conclusion in his heart, it seems that GM and Pratt & Whitney will inevitably be able to win this time, according to the transaction model they gave, GM and Pratt & Whitney will be responsible for completely transferring their production lines to China, and be responsible for a series of transportation, assembly and debugging work in the middle, which is not difficult for them themselves, because they have such a technical team, and they will complete this work, and the efficiency will be very fast.
Perhaps, after signing the contract with GM and Pratt & Whitney, within a week, all the production equipment of GM and Pratt & Whitney will arrive at China Shipping, and give them another week, the equipment should have been debugged, and at that time, they only need to use Xiao Er's robotic arm to modify all production lines, and Dongchen will be able to have almost double the productivity, and at that time, at least nearly 100 engines will be successfully rolled off the assembly line every day, and this production capacity can be completed in a year and a half for all new and old civil airliners in the world, engine modifications for cargo aircraft, except, of course, Japan, South Korea and Australia.
A year and a half later, the world's medium and large civil aircraft will be hoisted with Dongchen Aviation's engines to fly into the sky, and Dongchen will also rely on its own efforts to increase the market share of Chinese enterprises in this field, which was originally zero to 100%, this huge leap is impossible for any previous company to do.
After Zhang Wenhao signed the contract, he waited only one day in Seattle before Raymond received an invitation from the U.S. Department of Commerce, which will preside over the acquisition negotiations between Dongchen and GM and Pratt & Whitney.
The next morning, Zhang Wenhao and Raymond flew to Washington on the same plane.
On the plane, Raymond still looks excited, and Zhang Wenhao is relatively calm, this kind of thing can not bring him too much excitement, but it is different for Raymond, once Zhang Wenhao completes the acquisition of GM, Pratt & Whitney civil aviation engine business, then he has no worries at all, and when he comes back from Washington, he will immediately start to build a large-scale production line, and strive to increase production capacity in the shortest possible time.
Seeing Raymond sitting alone on the chair with a smile on his face, Zhang Wenhao asked mockingly: "Raymond, why are you so excited about Dongchen's acquisition of GM and Pratt & Whitney this time?" ”
Raymond blurted out, "Of course excited!" Boeing is the only production partner of Dongchen Aviation, in addition to Boeing, other customers of Dongchen Aviation are airlines, if the production speed of Dongchen Aviation is increased, it is a big guarantee for Boeing. ”
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said with a smile: "With the cooperation between Dongchen and Boeing, the development of the entire civil aviation will undergo earth-shaking changes. ”
Raymond nodded in agreement and said, "I think it's time for Boeing to restart our big plane program." ”
"Big plane plans?" Zhang Wenhao asked curiously, "What kind of plan is it?" ”
Raymond didn't hide it at all, and said: "You think, once the cost of the entire civil aviation is reduced, what is the biggest problem, is the surge in passenger traffic, right?" ”
…,
Zhang Wenhao nodded, laughed, and said: "I understand, once the passenger flow is greatly increased, the volume between the aviation hub and the aviation hub will surge, before you were unwilling to follow the example of Airbus to start the plan of the super-large passenger aircraft, the main consideration should be the lack of capacity, the passenger capacity of the A380 passenger aircraft is too large, and there are few routes that can ensure the seat rate of the airline after the A380 is enabled under the fierce competition, but once the passenger flow surges, then the A380 passenger aircraft with a large capacity will have a place to use." , especially the domestic routes of various countries, will be a large part of the blow to rail and road transport, by that time, the domestic hub routes of various countries have the guarantee of occupancy, the larger the aircraft, the more passengers, the greater the profit margin of the airline. ”
Raymond gave a thumbs up, nodded and said: "You're right, completely correct, and it is precisely because of this consideration that I think the super-large airliner has really matured, and Boeing has also had a rough prototype plan before, wanting to launch a 500-1000-seat super-large airliner at the right time, this plan is still only in the desktop stage because the market has not matured, but now is the time to really start." ”
Zhang Wenhao asked curiously: "If it is to develop a 500-1000-seat super-large passenger aircraft, what kind of general plan does Boeing have?" ”
Raymond said: "We previously gave this plan the code name is 7S7, S is the meaning of super, roughly speaking, the basic type, the overall aircraft can not be larger than the A380, otherwise most of the airport runways and facilities can not be satisfied, but we have also thought about developing an improved model, the volume is larger than the A380, completely used in the world-class hub airport, the whole model will be subdivided into three models, 500-700 seats, 600-800 seats, As well as 700-1000 seats, as for whether to change the cargo model, we still have to see the market demand at the time. ”
Zhang Wenhao couldn't help but admire: "This plan is already very mature, I don't think there is any problem, as for the cargo model, if Dongchen needs it at that time, I will definitely become your first batch of customers." ”
Raymond had no doubts about Zhang Wenhao's words, let him guess 10,000 possibilities, he couldn't guess that Zhang Wenhao would plan to build his own aircraft in the future, so he felt that in the future, Dongchen would build a world-class air logistics fleet, then the only supplier was Boeing, Zhang Wenhao and Erikson had already said in front of Raymond before, Dongchen's ultimate plan is to have at least 800 cargo planes, if this is the case, then Boeing will also receive orders for 600 aircraft from Dongchen one after another, which is for BoeingIt is also a huge guarantee for development prospects.
Raymond thinks further, if Tungchen has the ability to replace all the world's operating aircraft with Tungchen engines, then the passenger flow of civil aviation can at least double, especially in China, India and other populous developing countries, due to the decline in costs, civil aviation can at least get several times the passenger flow, by that time, the world's civil aviation system will need more new aircraft to put into operation, conservative estimates will increase more than 10,000, these, will be Boeing's own orders, no one can snatch away.
With so many guarantees, Raymond is naturally full of pride and ambition, and after Zhang Wenhao's flickering to the United States this time, Raymond is ready to let Boeing start an unprecedented leap forward
The plane landed in Washington, Zhang Wenhao and Raymond soon under the attack of a large number of reporters, stepped into the office building of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the reporters had already received the news that Dongchen was going to acquire the civil aviation engine business of General Electric and Pratt & Whitney this time, which also released an absolutely undoubted signal to the outside world that Dongchen and Boeing are going to join forces to do something big this time.
In the minds of the U.S. government, the media, and the people, if GM and Pratt & Whitney completely withdraw from the civil aircraft engine market, can help the United States shape a more powerful, absolutely monopolistic civil airliner manufacturer, then this deal is very cost-effective, GM and Pratt & Whitney will sell all the civil aircraft engine production lines to Dongchen, which is also the result of unanimous expectations from all walks of life in the United States.
…,
When Zhang Wenhao and Raymond entered the conference room of the Ministry of Commerce, the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, as well as the negotiators of GM and Pratt & Whitney had been waiting in the conference room for a long time, and everyone saw the two of them coming in, and they also got up to say hello, the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce was Zhang Wenhao's interface person when he visited the United States with a group last time, Zhang Wenhao didn't know what his name was, but he was still very friendly and nodded and smiled with him.
The other party was also very polite, and after a simple greeting, he said respectfully: "Mr. Zhang, the representatives sent by General Electric and Pratt & Whitney are already here, and I will introduce them to you." ”
After the two shook hands with Zhang Wenhao and said hello, the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said directly: "Let's get straight to the point, after all, the whole United States is waiting for the results of our negotiations, and we don't want to delay too much time, the sooner this matter is settled, the more beneficial it will be for both sides." ”
Zhang Wenhao nodded, said: "I have entrusted Raymond to convey my acquisition conditions, I think you have already known in your hearts, I repeat, Dongchen intends to acquire all the civil aero engine production lines of GM and Pratt & Whitney, and you are responsible for transporting all the equipment to China, and complete the installation and commissioning at the location designated by Dongchen, after acceptance, Dongchen will pay the acquisition fee according to the design capacity of the actual production line, and the annual output of each engine, Dongchen will pay 500,000 US dollars in cash." ”
These two companies have already received an offer from Dongchen, and for them, both parties have production lines with a design output of more than 4,000 units, which means that the sale of all of them will return at least $2 billion in return, which is a very, very good price for them, not only without any loss, but also a lot of money.
Zhang Wenhao looked at the two of them and asked, "You don't have any objections to this, right?" ”
The representatives of the two companies said that they had no objection, and when they came, they signed the contract according to the contract price, so as long as Zhang Wenhao did not change the hexagram, they would not have any opinion.
Zhang Wenhao then said: "But I need a time commitment, from the second day of signing the contract, within fifteen days, I want to see the formed production line in China, breach of contract for one day, deduct 5 of the total contract price, as liquidated damages, this point should be clearly written into the contract, no problem, right?" ”
Fifteen days, for the weight, volume, the number of equipment is very huge production line relocation and reorganization, it is definitely a challenge, but this is by no means an impossible task, as long as these companies sacrifice a part of the profits, hire more people, all use the mode of air transport to spend a part of the logistics costs, can be completed within the specified time, and Zhang Wenhao gave a very attractive price, sacrificing this profit is not a problem for them at all, so, The person in charge of both companies said on the spot that there was no problem.
Zhang Wenhao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then we can sign the contract directly, I have made the template of the contract, please take a look at it, if there is no objection, we will sign the contract on the spot, and then the two of you can immediately start the relocation of the production line." ”
Speaking, Zhang Wenhao took out two English contract templates that had been prepared from the suitcase, and on this contract template, everything Zhang Wenhao said before was written, which was very detailed, and the two business leaders handed the contract to the professional legal personnel around them after carefully reading it.
Zhang Wenhao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in front of the head of the Ministry of Commerce, personally signed an acquisition contract with the two companies, that is to say, within fifteen days from tomorrow, if nothing else, the civil aviation engine production line of General Motors and Pratt & Whitney will be transferred and set up in China. You can also take it yourself, if you don't sell it, let them continue to insist, presumably it won't be long before they have to completely withdraw from the market.
It won't be long before there will be only one Dongchen Aviation Industry in the field of civil aviation engines in the world, and the global monopoly hegemony will officially begin.
