Chapter 152 Core Business
Back to Carl. At the European headquarters on Karl Marx, it was 9 o'clock in the morning the next day.
It happened to be the weekend, Zhang Lin didn't go anywhere, just waiting for him in the company, and as soon as they met, he gritted his teeth and complained: "I waited for a night, and I didn't come back until now, and it's not that I have no place to live, but I am embarrassed to live there." ”
The charter put down his luggage, nodded and greeted his colleagues on duty, and said casually: "If you don't live again, you won't have a chance to live, because if you live again, you will likely be accused of benefiting from it." ”
Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who would have thought that a doctor of physics could become a high-ranking government official in a short period of time.
Multiple friends and many roads, Zhang Lin knew that this friendship was not easy to come by, so she did not continue to entangle on this issue, but took the luggage and pouted towards the second floor: "Daniel is waiting for you, I called all night, and I haven't slept until now." ”
The president's office was smoky, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts, and the charter pushed open the window, turned back and asked with a smile: "Dear Mr. President, what is the result after staying up all night?" ”
Daniel yawned, got up and said: "The chairman's theory of times is very interesting, Henry, Assad and Zuo Heng agree that the number of times should be used as a selling point, and the price should be based on the life of the engine and the number of times. In addition, considering that the city fire department is the main customer, it is agreed that there is no need for a tank chassis, but a wheeled drive. ”
Firefighting requires speed, tanks are slow and destroy roads, and it is really not suitable to use tracked drive.
The charter nodded slightly, and agreed: "Then use wheel drive, so that it can be converted into a semi-new product." Greatly reduce the pressure of after-sales. ”
Daniel yawned again. "It's all about which sales style you use," Buzz said. The Ministry of Commerce suggested that the trading company should sell the aircraft engine, and NB Industrial Manufacturing should be responsible for the assembly, in an attempt to avoid the negative impact of the company's sales of second-hand products; Zuo Heng believes that this is not suitable for the Middle East market and recommends selling a complete set of equipment. ”
"What do you think?"
"I'm the same as Zuo Heng, after all, I reached a complete agreement with the Trusteeship Bureau, not a consignment sale of retired engines."
After weighing it, he resolutely said: "Just do it according to your opinion, after all, vortex firefighting equipment is different from other equipment." This is done purely for the sake of cost reduction, and I believe the customer will understand. ”
After two yawns, Daniel's spirit improved, and he asked with interest: "Zhang, how was the conversation with the minister's lady, did she apologize for her previous position?" ”
"Daniel, don't be like this, Angela is not easy, as a lady who is new to politics and is in a high position, she has to bear the pressure of other politicians several times or even dozens of times. As a friend. We should support her. ”
Seeing that he was not a little sleepy, the charter briefly introduced his thoughts from last night.
Daniel was completely stunned. After carefully going through it in his mind, he shook his head and said, "Zhang, this is a genius idea, but in my opinion, there is no possibility of realization. You must know that every penny of our money is used, and there is no money to be spent on aviation business. And the stakes are too great, too big to be true. ”
"I know very well that the investment is large, the return is slow, and the risk is high."
The charter made him a cup of instant coffee, sat down in front of him, and explained slowly: "But in my opinion, this is an opportunity to promote NB Electric, and you can't imagine how much of a sensation a company with an airline and an airport will cause in China?" Believe me, this advertising effect can't be bought by spending any amount of money. ”
"Are you so confident in the Chinese market?"
"I am very confident, dear Mr. President, believe us to bet that within three years, the sales of the Chinese market will fully catch up with the Middle East market. Within five years, it will inevitably become the company's largest source of profits. ”
"But we don't have that experience."
"Hong Kong has a wealth of experience and can delegate management to the Hong Kong airport management team. As for training, the United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom have talent in this area. How to find them, how to get them in, that's your problem. By the way, such an interesting undertaking, I believe that His Royal Highness the Prince will be very interested, and I will contact him again and let him participate in it to relieve our financial pressure. ”
Daniel was made laughable, and couldn't help but say: "Can you also help us pull training orders?" ”
"Maybe, for a non-core business like this, it's not a bad thing to have more shareholders."
"Are you sure the ATC can agree?"
The charter nodded, and said with a smug smile: "The opinion of the air traffic control bureau is not important, as long as the Saxony state government supports it, as long as the Leipzig County Council supports it, then everything is not a problem." ”
Daniel pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "There have been several German kings in Saxony, and there was even a Polish king in the time of August the Great, and the patent list ranges from Meissen's first porcelain in Europe, to Germany's first steam locomotive, from the world's first bra, to coffee filter cups, and single-lens reflex cameras. History is so glorious that it really can't go down any longer. ”
"Saxony has produced many people, such as Fichte, Lessing, Nietzsche, Wagner, Schumann, Weber, Bach, Hilbermann...... These are valuable tourist resources, and the construction of the flight training center will bring the 'Leipzig School' to the world again. ”
"I think it's hard for the state government to resist the temptation."
"So in terms of federal government financial transfers, we should help the state government, for example, to keep the future proceeds of the vortex firefighting equipment in Saxony and in Leipzig County."
Daniel was happy to give money to the federal government to build infrastructure for Leipzig County and change it to NB Aviation Services: "Trusteeship Director Meyer Bell will definitely go crazy." ”
"The assets of East Germany are almost finished by him, can you wait until now if you want to go crazy?"
"Also," Daniel thought for a moment and smiled knowingly, "Zhang, I know what to do." If it works well, maybe we don't need to spend a penny. ”
"So sure?"
"There is a profit from aircraft leasing, and I believe that the Ministry of Defense will not have any opinions; The Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has a program to promote employment, and we can help future airliner pilots get a training loan like a laboratory; Given that Boeing is so strong, and we continue to train hundreds of pilots for passenger aircraft, I believe that Airbus will also be very interested in this, after all, planes always need to be driven by people. When it comes to aircraft procurement and chartering, the pilot's opinion can play a big role. ”
Doing business with government assets and even money is a strange thing that can only happen in Germany today.
Compared with NB Electric, those West German companies are the big winners of this feast. So far, at least more than 80% of the assets have fallen into their hands, not only have they not spent a penny, but they have not even thought about running them well. The purpose of the takeover is clear, which is to eliminate potential competitors.
Don't look at NB Electric's big advantage in NB industrial manufacturing and fire extinguishing equipment, but it is the best, providing jobs and doing business in a down-to-earth manner. It is precisely because of this that the West German company regarded it as a stubborn East German company.
Thinking that the "privatization" process had gone crazy to the point of outrageousness, the charter continued: "NB computer can not be delayed any longer, I will go to the United States early tomorrow morning, and the turbojet fire truck business and NB aviation will be fully responsible for the European region." As soon as there is news from the air traffic control department, you go to Leipzig County to see, and if there is not enough power there and the power grid needs to be renovated, then find a way to get involved. This is our core business, and the head office will ensure the funding needs on your side. ”
There are more than 900 distribution network companies in Germany, of which nearly 800 serve less than 10 customers, the top 20 companies account for 55% of the market share, and the distribution network companies belonging to the four major energy groups account for about 75% of the total.
It can be said that most of Germany's urban distribution network is owned by private companies or even foreign companies, unlike China's complete monopoly. The municipal government is open to external bidding, and the winning bidder can obtain a 20-year concession for the distribution network.
In Kuwait, the power grid in the main urban area has just been repaired and a set of grid automation system has been made, and NB Electric is fully qualified to participate.
It's a long-term win, and Daniel thinks so: "Don't worry, we won't miss the chance, whether it's Leipzig County or anywhere else." In East Germany, at least, we had many advantages that West German power companies did not have. ”
This is the benefit of being labelled as an East German company, more popular than the West Germans.
The charter nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The production of the instrument has begun, and there is no need for any ceremony. However, the completion and commissioning of the garbage incineration plant must be carried out, and the chairman will come to participate. After the grid-connected power generation, the market promotion will be launched immediately, regardless of general contracting or investment in the construction of factories, as long as there is an opportunity, except for the former Warsaw Pact countries. Again, when it comes to the company's core business, funding is not a problem. ”
In the distribution network, NB Electric is a latecomer. However, in the field of waste incineration power generation, NB Electric is not much later than other German companies, and the indicators of the Berlin waste incineration plant are far ahead of its peers, which is undoubtedly a great advantage.
As the president of Europe, Daniel of course hopes that the funds will be tilted to his side, and immediately said: "Zhang, we have been preparing for this for more than a year, as long as the funds can keep up, we can win at least five by the end of the year." ”
Thinking that the six eastern states would become a huge retirement home in the future, the charter reminded: "Daniel, the layout is very important, and you can't just stare at East Germany. You must know that you are the president of Europe, not Germany, and even less of East Germany. (To be continued......)
