readx;?“ Every time I go to the United States, I feel like a poor ghost. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shen Chong wore a hard hat, looked at the huge Boeing 74 in the assembly and said: "Three months ago, I was a billionaire with hundreds of millions of dollars, and now, I am a big loser who owes hundreds of millions of dollars to the bank, from heaven to hell, only 100 days."

"In the United States, whether it's an individual or a company, if you don't owe money to the bank, it means that you are not successful enough." A tall man with a striking hooked nose smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, I want to congratulate you, you are now a truly successful person. ”

This is a joke, but several Chinese around did not laugh, but had serious expressions - for Americans, the money owed to the bank is not owed at all, just to spend future income in advance, but for Chinese in lur0, debt is always a bad thing, Shen Chong said that he owes hundreds of millions of dollars, a little scary

Shen Chong looked back at everyone's expressions and said to the man: "Mr. Wilson, Boeing is so successful, it must also owe a lot of money to the bank?" ”

"Of course, of course." This tall man is none other than Wilson, the chairman of Boeing, who said with a smile: "We owe tens of billions of dollars, and every plane here, and this huge factory, is built with bank money." ”

"In this way, I will have to work harder to borrow money in the future." Shen Chong laughed and said, "When I borrow 10 billion, I guess I can also enter the world's top 500." ”

At this time, those Chinese heard that Shen Chong was joking just now, so they should also laugh in harmony - these people were all sent by the Civil Aviation Administration of China to the United States to negotiate with Boeing to lease planes.

During the Spring Festival, Shen Chong and Wu Ziming talked about the concept of "financial leasing", and after he went back, he talked to his family, which immediately attracted the attention of the elders in the family who worked in civil aviation.

After the reform and opening up, more and more foreigners go to China, the domestic economy begins to be active, and there are more and more people traveling long distances, and the construction of roads and railways in the interior is very unsound, and the aircraft is the most efficient means of passenger transport, but most of the old aircraft owned by China's civil aviation are in the sixties, with limited range and insufficient passenger capacity, which cannot meet the needs of the new era, and urgently needs to introduce new models.

When Deng Gong visited the United States in 1979, he made a special trip to Seattle to visit the Boeing headquarters, and the six-story 747 assembly workshop left a deep impression on him.

However, the price of a 747 is as high as more than 10,000 US dollars, and civil aviation can't afford it at all.

Aircraft financial leasing is a leveraged leasing model, simply put, that is, the lessor only pays part of the funds for the purchase of the aircraft, and the rest of the money is used as collateral to borrow from banks or other financial institutions, and then leases the aircraft to airlines, the lessor can rely on rent and various preferential tax policies to earn profits, banks can charge interest, and airlines can quickly improve their operating capacity in this way

This way of financial investment, the earliest rise in the United States, rapid development after the RU years, to the 90s, become the world's major airlines to purchase the preferred way of aircraft, Shen Chong in the previous life before the crossing, has seen the report that China's civil aviation from 19RU to UU years, the year purchased more than 700 aircraft, of which the savings K is leased, and in the 21st century, almost ninety percent of the aircraft are leased, such as Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Merchants Bank, Bank of Communications and other financial giants, All have set up a special aircraft leasing department, with an annual turnover of tens of billions.

Shortly after the Spring Festival, Boeing Chairman Wilson visited Beijing and was received by Deng Gong, Boeing has its own financial company, in order to seize the Chinese market, in the talks, he is willing to use the most preferential plan to support China's civil aviation to introduce Boeing 74 in the form of financial leasing, so that everything is ready, only a lessor who pays a down payment is missing, in this case, the first to put forward the concept of "financial leasing", and the mainland high-level relations are good, and in the United States sitting on high-quality assets Shen Chong, it has become a candidate who is satisfactory to both sides.

Before the Academy Awards ceremony, Wu Ziming brought the meaning of the high-level to Hong Kong, and Shen Chong did not frown, and immediately agreed to help.

Aircraft financial leasing is profitable, stable income, broad prospects, China's civil aviation is a monopoly administrative department, with the national credit as the endorsement, and do business with it, there is no risk at all, help this favor, not only can sell personal favors, but also to a trick, establish his image of super rich.

It takes UU million dollars to buy a Boeing 747, but according to the leasing plan, the down payment is only three aircraft, and the down payment is only 15UU million, which is no pressure on Shen Chong, but Boeing 747 is the most famous aircraft in the world, which is much more eye-catching than luxury yachts, and it is absolutely high-end and high-grade, financial leasing is an emerging financial concept, ordinary people don't understand, when three 747 flights arrive in Hong Kong, people will only say: "Look, Shen Chong bought three Boeing 74s"

Who doesn't say this? Who doesn't look up?

When wealth and fame reach a certain level, he can be on an equal footing with anyone, and no one dares to ignore what he says, even the leader of the country.

And with this help, his private jet is hosted in Guangzhou, which is a matter of one sentence.

In order to celebrate the agreement reached by the two sides and the successful signing of the contract, after visiting the Boeing 747 assembly plant, Wilson held a grand dinner, three planes are a small business for Boeing, but this business represents that the Chinese aviation market is really open to American companies, and has special political and economic significance, so not only the senior management of Boeing attended collectively, but also some politicians in Washington State and Seattle, and even the White House sent a special envoy to attend.

At this dinner, Shen Chong saw that the politician he wanted to make the most friends with was not the future President Ronald Reagan, but a Chinese woman -- Chen Xiangmei.

Chen Xiangmei is Liao Chengzhi's niece, her maternal grandfather is Liao Zhongkai's brother, Liao Chengzhi came to the United States for surgery, and she arranged food, clothing, housing and transportation, but it was not a coincidence, Shen Chong didn't see her every time he visited Liao Chengzhi.

Chen Xiangmei is a very active Chinese in American politics, she married the "Flying Tiger General" Chennault who came to China in 1947, after Chennault's death in 1958, she moved to Washington in 19uu, accepted the invitation of President Kennedy in 19, became the first Chinese American to enter the White House to work, after Kennedy's assassination, she joined the Republican Party, made great contributions to Nixon's presidential campaign in 19, and was appointed as the executive councilor and vice chairman of finance of the Republican Party in 19ur, In 1970, she served as vice president of Flying Tiger Airlines, becoming the first female vice president of American Airlines, and she contributed a lot to Nixon's visit to China in 19 and the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1979.

Since 1978, Chen Xiangmei has paved the way for Reagan's presidential candidacy and is one of Reagan's core advisers, as we all know, Reagan was once a Hollywood actor, after he took office, not only attended the Oscars, but also introduced many policies in favor of Hollywood, so that the half-dead American film industry re-prospered, and swept the world in the 90s.

As a Chinese, even if Shen Chong has money, he can't influence Reagan's governing policies, and he wants to befriend Chen Xiangmei just to mix in some Taiwan-related things.

Reagan is a Republican, belongs to the Conservative Party, the campaign slogan is very tough, is regarded as a militant who destroys the peace, after he was elected president, he was worried that China would have a misunderstanding of his governing style, so as soon as he took office, he immediately sent Chen Xiangmei as a special envoy, went to Beijing, sent a handwritten letter to Deng Gong, explaining his governing policy, and when Chen Xiangmei returned to the United States, he took a letter dictated by Song Qingling, written by Liao Chengzhi, Song Qingling asked Song Meiling to return to Shanghai in the letter, and the two sisters reunited, but they did not wait for Song Meiling to reply, Song Qingling died......

This is a very interesting thing, and Shen Chong feels that it can be used to make use of it -- to bring about the reunion of China's most legendary sisters in the century after 40 years, and the mere thought of it makes people fascinated, not only for their historical significance, but also for their massive political and economic interests.

Of course, this matter is very difficult to do, Song Qingling's health is not good, time is running out, and Song Meiling will not return to the mainland no matter what, but it is better to try than not to try, this kind of thing belongs to the people who make things happen, and the success is in the sky, even if it is not done in the end, there are many benefits.

After chatting with Chen Xiangmei for a while, she asked, "Mr. Shen." Who are you most optimistic about the Republican Party's presidential nominee? ”

The Republican Party has nominated a total of ten presidential candidates, but only two of the main contenders, namely Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, polls show that their approval ratings are evenly matched, and each has its own merits, and before the Republican National Convention in July, it is impossible to predict who will win and represent the Republican Party in the US presidential election in 19ru.

But Shen Chong is a crossing party, of course he knows who the big winner is, and he said categorically: "Reagan, of course Reagan." ”

"Why?"

"There's no why." If you really want to discuss politics, Shen Chong, a foreign goods, is definitely not the opponent of a political veteran, he held a champagne glass, and said with a light smile: "I heard that when Reagan was governor of California, he bought a commercial private jet as a tool for official travel, thus becoming the first governor in the United States to use an airplane as a means of administrative transportation, I like airplanes, so I like him, if I have the right to vote, I will definitely vote for him." ”

It was very pleasing to say this kind of thing in Boeing, and several people around laughed, Chen Xiangmei raised her wine glass, touched it with him, and said, "Mr. Shen, you are so funny." ”

"I also like airplanes, but I support Bush, who has been a member of Congress, the director of the CIA, and has also served as the U.S. representative to the United Nations and the U.S. ambassador to Beijing, and he has a lot of diplomatic experience, especially about China, and he has a very moderate economic policy in his election campaign." Wilson took a sip of champagne and said, "Reagan's policy is too radical and could cause further economic turmoil, and the current economic stagnation in the United States is very bad." ”

"Mr. Wilson." Shen Chong looked at Chen Xiangmei, who was thoughtful, and said: "In our China, there is a saying, called the use of fierce medicine for serious illness, the US Treasury bond is now close to one trillion US dollars, inflation is as high as double digits, the bank interest rate is as high as ru00,000 people are unemployed, the wage level has continued to decline, it is already seriously ill, without drastic means, it is impossible to solve the problem, this is like having cancer, endure the pain for a while, do surgery to remove the tumor, and you can recover your health in the future, if you keep using mild treatment, drag it on, If the cancer spreads, it is a dead end. ”

"But Reagan has also made a lot of fierce bourgeoisist remarks, and I'm worried that after he becomes president, he will take a tough stance on China, you know, American airlines are losing money, and we urgently need to open up the international market."

"I'm not worried about that in the slightest." Shen Chong smiled at Chen Xiangmei and said: "Ms. Chen is the best China policy expert in American politics, and she single-handedly promoted President Nixon's visit to China back then, and Reagan chose her as a campaign aide, which shows that she attaches great importance to China's foreign policy. ”

Shen Chong helped several times, and quickly won Chen Xiangmei's favor, when the cocktail party was over, she and Shen Chong exchanged business cards, and said in Chinese: "Mr. Shen, if you have time in the future, you can come to Washington to sit, you and my uncle have a good relationship, we are also considered world friends, he once mentioned you, saying that whether you are in politics or business, you are very talented, is one in a million talents, I didn't believe it very much, but when I see it today, I know that the name is worthy." ”

"Don't say that, Duke Liao is making fun of me." Shen Chong was modest, he put away his business card very carefully, and said with a smile: "Miss Chen, you are a legend, I am very lazy, and in the future, I may go to harass you twice in three days and listen to your story." ”

"Then I can't ask for it." Chen Xiangmei laughed and said: "My children have grown up and moved out, and it happens to be very lonely, and it is great to have someone to chat with me." ”

Before she got into the car, she turned around and said, "Mr. Shen, you don't mind if I use that metaphor you just said, right?" ”

"Feel free to use it." Shen Chong was surprised and said, "It's just a simple and ordinary metaphor, neither new nor interesting. ”

"Bystander Qing, you just woke up the dreamer with a word." "Mr. Reagan's economic policies are indeed a little more radical, and the media and opponents are attacking him, and your analogy is simple, but it is very appropriate, and if it is used at the right time, I think it will have a good effect," Chen said. ”
