Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The aviation industry is a typical high-tech intensive industry, any aircraft company needs a large amount of financial support at the beginning of its creation, and in the later exhibition stage, a new product needs to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, if there is a Standard Chartered Bank behind the full support, Bombardier Aerospace's exhibition will be greatly improved, so Morse pondered for a moment, said: "Mr. Gu intends to invest in Bombardier Aerospace I agree in principle, but 5o% of the shares are too much, I can only sell 3o% of the shares at most." ”
Seeing Morse say this, Gu Chen suddenly had confidence in his heart, but he did not continue to talk about business, as long as Morse agreed to sell Bombardier Aerospace's shares, and the negotiation of other specific details was left to the professional team. Of course, the best outcome of the negotiations is to get a 5o% stake in Bombardier Aerospace, and in the case that controlling Bombardier Aerospace is almost impossible, all he can do is to get the maximum voice, and only by owning half of the shares can he have the power to influence the decision-making of Bombardier Aerospace's top management when necessary.
You must know that Bombardier Aerospace is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bombardier, although Bombardier is not a company solely owned by Morse, but Morse is the largest shareholder, which means that Bombardier has obtained absolute control over Bombardier Aerospace, so if Gu Chen wants to have the power to confront Morse in Bombardier Aerospace, he must account for at least half of the shares.
It's just that this will seriously threaten Morse's control over Bombardier Aerospace, and with Morse's emphasis on Bombardier Aerospace, it will be difficult for him to agree.
"I believe that as long as we join forces. It's not impossible for Bombardier Aerospace to become an aviation giant like Boeing in the future, but now is the time for a meal. Talking about business inevitably affects appetite, and I think those technical issues can be handled by the people under him, what do you think, Mr. Bombardier? Gu Chen picked up the wine glass and touched it with Morse, then took a sip of the scarlet red wine in the glass......
Only two days later, the negotiation team sent by Zeng Nanxing arrived in Ottawa, and after a brief meeting with Gu Chen, several members of the team immediately flew to Montreal non-stop to negotiate with Tang Dynasty Holdings to take a stake in Bombardier Aerospace. Initially, Bombardier was adamant about not agreeing to sell a 50% stake in Bombardier Aerospace, but when the purchase price was raised to $1.7 billion, some Bombardier shareholders were immediately tempted. In addition, in the past two days, Tang Dynasty Investment Company has absorbed a total of 7.3% of Bombardier's shares from the stock market, and Tang Dynasty Holdings has become the third largest shareholder of Bombardier. However, it will inevitably affect the relationship between the two parties in the future, and Gu Chen informed Morse of this behavior in advance.
Morse was helpless about Gu Chen's way of finding a breakthrough in the stock market, and he had the heart to stop Gu Chen's behavior. But he knew very well that he was not Gu Chen's opponent at all compared to his financial resources, and in the end, he could only waste a lot of money in vain, but he still couldn't stop Gu Chen, so he could only watch the stocks in the market being continuously acquired. Tang Dynasty Holdings also entered the board of directors of Bombardier because of this acquisition.
Being a member of Bombardier's Board of Directors is equivalent to having a voice within Bombardier, albeit a small one. But it played a very big role in the negotiations, knowing that the other shareholders of Bombardier would not care who had the final say in Bombardier Aerospace, what they needed was real benefits, so when the purchase price was raised to $1.7 billion, the negotiation team smoothly united some minority shareholders of Bombardier. The shares of these shareholders, together with the shares held by Tang Dynasty Holdings, have passed 2o%. This is certainly not comparable to Morse's 42% stake in Bombardier, but with some shareholders agreeing to sell 5o% of Bombardier Aerospace's stake to Tang Dynasty Holdings at the board meeting, more shareholders who were originally not firm in their positions have also wavered, and in the face of such an unfavorable situation, Morse finally made concessions after careful consideration.
According to the agreement signed by the two parties, Bombardier Aerospace will be spun off from Bombardier and form Bombardier-Tang Dynasty Aerospace as a separate company. As a condition of the concession, Morse demanded that the president of the new company must be nominated by Bombardier, which means that even if Tang Dynasty Holdings vetoes Bombardier's nominee president, Bombardier can continue to nominate other candidates until Tang Dynasty Holdings passes Guò.
This request seems simple, but it restricts the administrative power of Tang Dynasty Holdings in Bombardier-Tang Dynasty Aerospace, but Gu Chen agreed to this request without much thought, he did not plan to interfere in the company's operation, what he needed was to ensure the rights and interests of the board of directors of Bombardier-Tang Dynasty Aerospace, and have the power to influence the decision-making of the board of directors when necessary.
At the signing ceremony, Morse held Gu Chen's hand and said with a smile: "I believe that Bombardier-Tang Dynasty Aerospace will usher in a high period with the joint efforts of both of us, and I am also full of confidence in its future, maybe it will be the next Boeing." ”
Obviously, he didn't bother with some of the methods used by Gu Chen in the negotiations, after all, these methods were all legitimate and reasonable business skills, since the two sides would be in a cooperative relationship in the future, as a successful businessman, he naturally couldn't dwell on these small things. What's more, according to the content of the agreement, Bombardier-Tang Dynasty Aerospace is still dominated by Bombardier, that is, him.
"Mr. Bombardier and I share the same ideas, and I am looking forward to the next Boeing being born in your hands." Gu Chen picked up the red wine on the table and said with a smile on his face: "I mention that we have a toast in advance for the brilliant future of Bombardier-Tang Dynasty Aerospace." ”
Gu Chen's investment did not attract much media attention, in addition to the local media in Canada, even if there are reports in the foreign media, they are very brief, the reason is that Bombardier-Tang Dynasty Aerospace is too weak, compared to aircraft manufacturing giants such as Boeing and Airbus, the current Bombardier-Tang Dynasty can only be regarded as a small aircraft company. In order for an aircraft company to continue to grow, it is not enough to have money, scientific research ability is crucial, but now most of the top aviation industry talent is concentrated in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and a few other countries, so Bombardier-Tang Dynasty Aerospace still has a long way to go if it wants to make a difference.
After all, no matter how beautified Gu Chen is, Gu Chen's yellow-skinned and black-eyed appearance is destined to make him unable to gain 100% trust from Westerners, but the aviation industry is an extremely sensitive industry, and the media believes that the value of not paying attention is to avoid some ulterior motives for the media to hype up his identity and cause some unnecessary trouble.
Morse was also smiling, just before the signing ceremony began, he had already introduced to Gu Chen his acquisition plan for the United States Lille Business Jets, to his delight, Gu Chen very much agreed with his plan, and immediately decided that Standard Chartered Bank would provide Bombardier-Tang Dynasty Aerospace with a low-interest financing of 300 million US dollars for the implementation of the acquisition plan of Lille Business Jets.
As long as he can smoothly acquire Lille Business Jets, many of the plans in his mind that have been forced to be shelved for various reasons can be implemented, which is undoubtedly his happiest, I saw him pick up his wine glass and touch it with Gu Chen, and said, "This is a very good tip." ”
Guo Yunxi, who was standing on the side, took advantage of Gu Chen's plan to talk and laugh with Morse, put away the signed text on the table, and just stood back to the side, Monica? Bellucci walked in from outside, leaned over and whispered a few words in Gu Chen's ear, because Morse was there, she used Cantonese, although the tone was a little strange, and she didn't sound very proficient, but being able to master some simple oral communication in more than a month was enough to show her talent, of course, this was inseparable from her hard work.
Hear Monica? Bellucci's words, Gu Chen put the wine glass on the table and stretched out his hand to Morse again: "I originally wanted to have dinner with Mr. Bombardier, but unfortunately, I still have some things to deal with, and I can only look forward to the next opportunity." ”
Morse shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a shame. After the two shook hands, Gu Chen turned around and walked out of the conference hall, and the next work was naturally responsible for the professional team sent by Tang Dynasty Holdings. Morse sent Gu Chen all the way to the elevator, but his eyes were changing from time to time from Monica? Bellucci's body floated by, and in his eyes, Gu Chen's two assistants were rare stunners, but in comparison, Monica? Bellucci is obviously more in line with his appetite, the plump and fiery figure and perfect face don't know how many times he secretly swallowed his saliva, he doesn't think that Gu Chen and these two beautiful secretaries are just ordinary working relationships, while secretly envying Gu Chen's Yanfu, he is also wondering if he should also change two more eye-catching secretaries? At least it's comfortable to look at.
When Gu Chen was still on the way back to the hotel, Guan Zhilin walked into Gu Chen's presidential suite under the leadership of the bodyguard sent by Gu Chen to pick her up at the airport, after closing the door of the suite, Guan Zhilin dragged the suitcase into the master bedroom, put the suitcase next to the bed, and she lay directly on the bed, she first flew from Los Angeles to Ottawa, and then from Ottawa to Montreal, mental exhaustion was inevitable.
Suddenly, she saw a black mass next to her head, and when she got up and picked up the mass and unfolded it, it turned out to be a sexy black lace thong, with some dried white marks on it, and her mouth immediately pursed.
