Chapter 1800: Let's also threaten others once (second watch, second watch)
On December 15, 2006, the first China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue came to a successful conclusion in the capital, and China and the United States conscientiously implemented the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, pursued truth and pragmatism, and achieved satisfactory results.
According to the official statement, in the course of the dialogue, the two sides have conscientiously carried out the dialogue in a positive and frank manner from beginning to end, and have conducted in-depth and fruitful discussions on the sustainable development of US-China economic and trade relations, market opening and encouraging investment, environmental protection, energy efficiency, and other issues.
But this is not the case, Lin Zheng, who personally participated in this meeting, really saw what it means to have a teacup and a bowl lid flying together, and the bench is the same color, the old empire does not want the rise of an emerging economy to threaten its domination of the whole world, and the republic, an emerging "developing country", has made the Americans have to attach great importance to it, with this contradictory mood, it is really hell that the two sides can have a good relationship when they are in talks.
However, the end of the high-level talks between China and the United States does not mean that the talks are over, and the next negotiations between various companies are the main event.
As the negotiator of the Chinese side, Lin Hongfei stressed that the United States, which believes in a free market economy, must open up its own aviation market and allow aviation companies from other countries to compete fairly, otherwise the Republic market will also be closed to American aviation manufacturers...... The good operation of the North County 100 and North County 200A/B for several years, and the use of various types of aircraft engines such as BD1000 and BD1000-B have given the Republic of China the opportunity to say "NO!" to the U.S. government. Confidence.
"The U.S. market is Boeing," since it was a closed-door meeting, everyone was not so particular about the conditions put forward by Lin Hongfei. Boeing General Manager Bob. Feldman's face was hideous, and he slapped the table and yelled at Lin Hongfei, "No one wants to come in!" Airbus can't do it, you Chinese can't! β
"Then let's try it," Lin Hongfei hugged his arms and looked at Bob with a sneer. Feldman, 10 years ago, Boeing was still a behemoth that he looked up to, but now, although the total scale of Boeing is still several times that of AVIC Second Group, Lin Hongfei no longer takes Boeing very seriously. "As I said, we will open up as much market as you in the United States...... It seems that the U.S. market can also make Boeing live very moist? β
If the entire U.S. market had not fed Boeing before the merger with McDonnell Douglas, it would certainly have been able to keep Boeing alive, but now it is equivalent to feeding both companies. But that's not the case: the new Boeing, made up of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, certainly has a huge advantage in scale, but at some point. This advantage can also turn into a disadvantage...... When it is not possible to effectively occupy the market. The mere maintenance of a large production line and a large contingent of workers is a huge, heart-wrenching expense for the capitalists.
Bob. Feldman's eyes widened, he stared at Lin Hongfei in disbelief, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you threatening me?" β
"How can this be considered a threat? At best, this will be an advance notice of what may happen in the future. "Compared to Bob. Feldman's face was red and his neck was thick, but Lin Hongfei looked relaxed and freehand.
He does have a reason to be relaxed, and the air transport industry of the Republic is developing at an unprecedented speed. Around 2000, there were no more than 700 commercially operated aircraft in the Republic, but by this year, the total number of aircraft has exceeded 1,200, according to the forecasts of the relevant domestic authorities. In the next 5 years, the Republic needs to add at least 600 aircraft, and in the next 15 years, it needs to add 2,000 aircraft, and the annual demand for more than 120 aircraft is enough to make any aviation aircraft manufacturer in the world crazy, Boeing has even regarded the Republic market as the core growth point of Boeing in the next 30 years, and now Lin Hongfei actually dares to threaten himself?
As the saying goes, cutting off people's financial routes is like killing their parents, Lin Hongfei has a lot of meaning to cut off Boeing's financial routes, and it's no wonder that Bob. Feldman wants to be anxious with Lin Hongfei.
"Oh, yes," said Bob, whose eyes were round. Feldman, Lin Hongfei seemed to be unaware, and continued, "In addition, I will inform you that if we cannot reach an agreement between us, I will announce this matter at an official press conference...... Maybe I'll take this opportunity to buy more Boeing stock? β
ββ¦β¦ Vile! "Bob. Feldman forced the two words out of his teeth.
If the negotiation is not successful, Lin Hongfei really announced at the press conference that the market for the republic's civil aircraft is closed to Boeing, and it can be predicted that Boeing's stock will inevitably usher in a series of sharp falls, and the severity of this news is even no less than the earth-shattering thing that Uncle Ben did back then, if Lin Hongfei, a bastard, really takes advantage of this opportunity to buy some Boeing shares, even if he can't influence Boeing's decision-making, with this bastard's financial resources, I'm afraid there will be a chair for him on the board of directors of the group.
This is really bad news.
"Despicable? I don't think so, compared to what your company has done before, I feel that I am above board and almost become a saint," Lin Hongfei waved his hand modestly, "Your Excellency General Manager, it is still the same sentence, my suggestion, I hope you will consider it carefully!" β
Bob. Feldman didn't dare not think about it carefully.
Lin Hongfei, the bastard, has both the courage and the strength to do this, and the most terrible thing is that I am afraid that this kid is still eager to do this, which is of course not good news for Boeing, maybe this bastard's idea is to seize the Boeing market when this news is a huge blow to Boeing...... Even though the bastard is already doing it.
Since this bastard would do it nine times out of all if he didn't agree to this kid's terms, Bob. Feldman's previous tricks of coercion and lure are not used, maybe they can use the third trick?
"I need to think about it, and I need to report to the board and get direction and authority from the board on this matter." Bob. Feldman sacrificed the word "drag".
"I have no opinion, but I need a clear time."
"Three days! At most three days, we will give you a clear answer. "Bob. Feldman swore by it.
"Okay, then three days!"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Boss, are you really going to bow to the damn Chinese?" As soon as the unhappy meeting ended, Bob . Feldman's deputy, deputy general manager, Stone. Seifer looked concerned to Bob. Feldman asked.
In fact, he wished that Bob. Feldman could have made such a naΓ―ve, stupid mistake if Bob had been able to make such a foolish mistake. Feldman really bowed his head to the Chinese, and he did not have to continue to stay in the position of general manager of Boeing, Boeing could not afford to lose this person, and the United States could not afford to lose this person, although perhaps future facts will prove that it is correct and wise to bow to the Chinese at this moment.
"Of course not!" Bob. Feldman gritted his teeth and looked hideous, like a crazy gambler about to pull out his worst chips, "Who are we?" We are Boeing! From the first world war to the present, the most powerful aviation aircraft manufacturing enterprise in the world, the Chinese aircraft have only been flying in the sky for a few days before they want to replace us? They're dreaming! β
"That's right, they're dreaming!" Stone. Seifer nodded in agreement, he had already thought of Bob. It is impossible for Feldman to bow his head so easily, all these years Bob. Did Feldman experience fewer difficulties? Keep your mind carefully hidden, Stone. Seifer whispered to Bob. Feldman asked, "Boss, is there anything I need to do?" β
"There's something you need to do," said Bob. Feldman nodded, his expression was very cautious, "This matter is directly related to the future of our Boeing company, as long as it can be successful, I guarantee that the prize you can get by the end of this year will not be less than 10 million US dollars!" β
$10 million? Stone. Seifer's heart suddenly jumped like a drum: $10 million is a reward given by Boeing to those who have made great contributions to the development of Boeing...... Who is afraid of money?
"Of course, boss, what do you need me to do?" Stone. Sever's eyes were slightly red.
"You go to this guy......" Bob. As he spoke, Feldman took out a pen and a small notepad from his inner pocket, wrote something on them quickly, and carefully handed them to Stone. "When you find him, tell him I'm going to take what I want him to prepare." β
Take the sticky note, Stone. Seifer blinked, a little puzzled: That's it? Don't have to give some money or anything?
"Also, it's $500,000," said Bob. Feldman's next move didn't get Stone. Seifer was "disappointed," and the next moment, he pulled out a checkbook and "got it and told him that he had $1 million left when it was done." β
Stone. Seifer's breath became rapid: $1.5 million, he suddenly became extremely curious about this man.
Looking at Stone. Sever's hurried figure, Bob. Feldman laughed: Stone. How could he not know what he was thinking about? But it doesn't matter, even if this guy wants to take his place, it doesn't matter, no matter what he thinks, doesn't he have to listen honestly to his own arrangement? (To be continued......)
