1363.Venture Bombardier (3/10)
It's no wonder that you have to climb to the upper circle to make contacts, only in this way can you get resources that you can't reach, for example, at this moment, Qin Shiou has encountered a good investment opportunity.
Bombardier is really in trouble right now, and it all stems from the CSeries aircraft that they are about to launch.
The aircraft is a premium business jet aimed at a specific market and could have taken the world by storm if it had been launched as originally planned, but the problem is that it has not yet been made two years later than originally planned, giving its rivals Airbus and Boeing a "head start".
The Canadian economy has been getting worse and worse for the past two years, and mega-companies like Bombardier are using cash flow from banks, and as banks shrink their monetary base, their lives are not easy.
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "My little money is nothing to a company like Bombardier, right?" ”
"How much money can you use?" George asked.
There is no need to cry in front of these people, Qin Shiou said: "If you can use the cash, it's hard to say now, it will be about 400 million to 500 million Canadian dollars in a month." ”
Now he has more than 200 million Canadian dollars accumulated before and after, plus the income from the fishing ground in the third quarter and the distribution of gold ore, he can almost accumulate a net worth of more than 400 million.
Everyone knows that Qin Shiou is a local tyrant, but they didn't expect the local tyrant to reach this point, more than 400 million Canadian dollars, these people here only say that their worth will definitely be reached, after all, they are either from a big family or have shares in large enterprises, but when it comes to cash flow, it is far from so much.
Sid Schwartz's eyes suddenly brightened when he looked at Qin Shiou, and he said, "Give me this money, man." After a year, I can give you forty percent of the profit! ”
He is the Managing Director of Third-Party Private Equity Investments at Onex. It's a trick of making money.
Chagunis pointed at Sid and said, "My Schwartz man, what you have to do now is listen quietly. Don't talk anymore, you can't take this money, understand? You can't take it because it belongs to me and it's going to be my life-saving money! ”
George smiled and motioned everyone not to joke, and he began to point Qin Shiou: "You have a lot of money, if you follow Sid to play venture capital and private equity, then it's okay." But now there's a better opportunity to take a stake in Bombardier. ”
Qin Shiou asked, "What is the market value of Bombardier?" I guess it's hundreds of billions, right? It's nothing I've put that money in. ”
Now in Asia, Bombardier is not very famous, but in Western Europe and North America, this name is as famous as Boeing and Airbus, and in its hometown of Canada, Bombardier is even known as "Canada's General Electric".
Bombardier currently employs approximately 80,000 people in 24 countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. They are world leaders not only in building airplanes, but also in aerospace, rail transport equipment and motorized entertainment products.
Some time ago, he was planning to buy a private jet, and Qin Shiou learned that Bombardier is now the world's third largest aircraft manufacturer after Boeing and Airbus. But in the field of regional jets and business jets, Bombardier is already the largest in the world!
"That's why I said you had a good opportunity." George said, looking at Chagunis. The latter shrugged and said, "I can't speak at this time, I have to have a work ethic, right?" ”
George laughed. He told Qin Shiou: "Bombardier's market value is indeed huge, and you can't even hear a wave when you invest this money." But Qin. Unbeknownst to you, Bombardier's flagship CSeries business jet is now on the production line waiting to be delivered, and now it is missing only one delivery fund. And now that the economic situation is so poor, if Bombardier wants to get this delivery fund, it will have to pay some real materials, such as the income dividend of the C Series. ”
"But that's only $400 million?" Qin Shiou asked in disbelief.
George shook his head and said, "No, I guess it's probably four or four hundred million dollars." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Chagunis, who smiled and didn't speak, but subtly acknowledged George's words.
"The biggest leader will be the provincial government of Quebec, and they can't sit back and watch Bombardier continue to languish like this, so they must help it complete the C series and bring it to market." George said.
At this time, Qin Shiou understood, and he continued: "But the provincial government should not give all the funds, and Bombardier doesn't want the provincial government to occupy too much share, right?" This is my chance to drink some broth behind the provincial capital? ”
"Not only that, the provincial government does not dare to bet on the whole situation, because no one knows how much cake the C series will get when it enters the market now, after all, Boeing and Airbus are the ones who eat the cake now." Chagunis finally spoke.
Qin Shiou said: "In other words, the risk is too great? ”
Chagunis admits that and says, "Yes, there is a risk, but the provinces have to invest money, they have to take risks, because this decision can involve 40,000 jobs." ”
Qin Shiou quickly figured out that the Quebec provincial government really had to intervene, just on the issue of employment, there were about 17,000-18,000 people working at Bombardier in Quebec, plus direct and indirect jobs such as secondary suppliers, so Chagunis was right, there were 40,000 people in Quebec who depended on Bombardier for their livelihoods.
"The provincial government is expected to invest one billion yuan to help Bombardier improve the C Series, but they will not simply inject capital to save the market, but will form a joint venture between the provincial government and Bombardier, Bombardier Civil Space, and the proceeds will be distributed according to shares. Of course, if there are other people who enter the game, then they can naturally get the same income dividends. Chagunis gave more inside information.
Schwartz maliciously reminded Qin Shiou: "The risk of this investment is not as small as they say, Boeing and Airbus have dominated the market of a new generation of high-end business jets, they may not be able to grab the cake, if they can't grab the ......"
He didn't say anything more, just laughed, the meaning was very simple, that is, this guy's Bombardier subsidiary will go bankrupt, and Bombardier has many subsidiaries, such as Bombardier Aerospace, etc., which are in danger of bankruptcy.
"Yes, it's a gamble, there's no sure investment." "Otherwise, how could the provincial government push the cake out?" ”
"Now let's see who is bold." George also said.
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "OK, then I'll try, remember to leave a place for me, and I'll prepare 400 million funds." ”
These people here have a gambler mentality, every high-yield investment is accompanied by high risk, they belong to the bold and bold people, and they also appreciate the same kind of people, if Qin Shiou wants to really integrate into the circle of these people, then he must at least let them look at it.
