Chapter 274: Joint Venture

"It's just the existing model, purchase two!"

Fang Ping said quietly: "In addition, the 737-300 model will be customized, as well as related modification services!" ”

"Retrofit?" Edward just breathed a sigh of relief, and said in some surprise.

Fang Ping didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes, I am ready to buy the existing passenger plane from our domestic airline." It was then converted into a cargo plane. ”

Edward was very shrewd, and after a little thought, he knew that Fang Ping's plan was nothing more than to control the cost of procurement and the cost of time.

Although Fang Ping did not directly order 50 all-freighter planes from Boeing, he didn't care, as soon as Fang Ping purchased Huaguo Airlines' passenger planes for modification, it was bound to require Boeing's strength.

This is another big order, and the profit that can be earned is no less than the sale of the whole machine.

Second, after Fangping's procurement, airlines are bound to purchase new passenger planes to fill vacancies and replace passenger aircraft.

For Boeing, this is not only a big order, but also an opportunity to expand its influence.

The only thing that worried him was whether Fang Ping could buy a passenger plane from Huaguo's airlines.

He knows that the situation in China and the United States is different, and airline passenger planes can not be bought with money, and some other things are needed.

Thinking about it, Edward pretended to be abrupt: "It turns out that Fang is always ready to buy a retired passenger plane of Huaguo Airlines and modify it!" This is a quick way to replenish your air fleet! ”

"But I heard that your country is in a special situation, can you always buy a retired passenger plane from your country's airlines?"

"This is not difficult, I am in China, and I still have a little relationship!" Fang Ping waved his hand.

Edward was stunned, and glanced at Fang Ping deeply, only to believe that what Fang Ping said had such a little relationship, really only that little relationship, can he say that he got the qualification to purchase retired passenger aircraft from the airline?

Others don't know that he has dealt with those airlines, and he has heard a lot of things.

couldn't help pursing his lips, and when he was about to speak, his heart suddenly moved, and his face was full of smiles: "Mr. Fang, don't be too humble." If you can buy a retired freighter from an airline, you must have some connections! ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, not knowing the meaning of Edward's question, he was a little vigilant.

Edward smiled: "Mr. Fang, I have a deal here, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"Oh, is it? Don't know what to buy and sell? Fang Ping was surprised.

Edward smiled and said seriously: "Boeing is going to establish a branch in the magic capital of your country..." Why do you need to set up a branch? Fang Ping was stunned.

He remembers that Boeing has a branch in the magic capital, which specializes in providing after-sales service and aircraft modification for Boeing's customers in China.

Even Shunfeng Logistics' air fleet aircraft have Boeing's modification records in the Modu branch.

And there has been related news on the Internet.

It was also those related news that he learned that Boeing had a branch in the magic capital.

Edward was a little dazed: "No! Boeing really wants to establish a branch in the magic capital of your country. But for various reasons, it was not implemented! ”

"Didn't you? Maybe I'm mistaken! You continue! Fang Ping looked at Edward's blank appearance, it didn't look like it was fake, and he wondered a little in his heart, could it be that I remembered the wrong time?

Boeing, the magic capital, has not yet been established in the magic capital?

Well, it's possible that my knowledge of Boeing is limited to some related news. Didn't investigate the time of the establishment of Boeing.

Edward was a little suspicious, but he didn't ask much, and said: "Boeing is not very familiar with many things in your country, and I want to find a partner to establish a joint venture Boeing branch in Modu." ”

"I don't know if Mr. Fang is interested!"

Fang Ping's eyes lit up, although Boeing is engaged in aircraft business, its customers are only airlines from various countries, and they are relatively niche. But aside from its other special business, as far as civil aircraft are concerned, it is also very profitable.

The most important thing is that if the Modu branch can be established in a joint venture with Boeing, it will be extremely beneficial to the aviation fleet of Shentong Logistics.

For example, if there is any problem with the cargo plane of the Shentong Logistics Air Fleet, it can be directly pulled to the joint venture branch to deal with it, not only does it not have to be transported to the Boeing headquarters for thousands of miles, but also because it has its own share, it can also be discounted a lot to deal with failures.

Thinking about it, Fang Ping was a little excited, but he didn't show it, and said quietly: "I have this interest, but I don't know how Boeing wants to make a joint venture?" ”

"Boeing out the technology. Mr. Fang contributed money and relevant connections. Boeing occupies 60% of the shares, and Fang always occupies 40% of the shares, how? Edward thought for a moment.

Fang Ping didn't think about it, waved his hand and said: "No, the shares are too small, I want at least fifty-one percent of the shares!" ”

Just kidding, he contributed money and connections to settle all the troubles in China for Boeing. And Boeing only came out with the technology, and actually opened its mouth to ask for 60 percent of the shares.

It is equivalent to a holding branch.

He would never do such a thing.

To do it, at least increase the share of shares.

"If Boeing doesn't provide technology and a certain percentage of investment funds, Mr. Fang only needs to make connections and invest a small amount of funds. Boeing occupies 80% of the shares, and Fang always occupies 20% of the shares, how about it? Edward suggested again.

"This one can't be better!"

Fang Ping glared and said, "I can give out the money, and the connections can also be solved." But I have to have a 51 percent stake in the branch. Reach the controlling shares. ”

"No, this one is absolutely not going to work!" Edward shook his head.

Boeing opened a branch in Modu in order to expand its business in China and increase its market share.

If Boeing is in a branch and can't even hold a controlling stake, then who is talking about the branch?

And this Fang Ping's appetite is too big, and he just wants Boeing to work for him.

It just doesn't make sense!

Fang Ping didn't give an inch: "Since Boeing is not sincere, then the matter of cooperation, forget it!" ”

"You..." Edward almost vomited blood out of breath, glaring at Fang Ping, and wanted to ask, who is not sincere? The establishment of the Boeing branch of Modu, the core strength is Boeing's technology, brand awareness, okay!

Not to be outdone, Fang Ping also stared at Edward.

On the side, Su Xiaoxiao and the others looked at each other, and they all consciously did not say anything.

After a long while, Edward calmed down and said lightly: "Since Mr. Fang said forget it, then..."

"Wait a minute, I have one more offer!" Fang Ping saw Edward retract and was a little anxious.

The reason why he is fighting is for the sake of interests and to occupy more shares.

It's not that I don't want to have a joint venture with Boeing.

Edward thought that Fang Ping couldn't stand it, so he chose to retreat, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile, and pretended to be calm: "Mr. Fang, please speak!" ”

"I thought about it, with the particularity of Boeing, I want to open a branch in China, and I rely on the help of my friends alone, but it's still a little bit short!" Fang Ping said with a smile.

"Could it be that Mr. Fang's connections don't work?"

Edward frowned, of course he knew what was special about Boeing, otherwise Boeing would not have been able to open a branch in the magic capital so far, and he would have come to Fang Ping to cooperate.

Fang Ping shook his head and said: "It's not, I think it's safe to be safe, and it is also necessary to introduce a third party to invest in the Modu Boeing Branch." ”

"A third party? Who? Edward was curious.

Fang Ping smiled: "Local official!" ”

"We've thought about this and we've contacted it. But it was rejected! Edward hesitated.

Fang Ping patted his chest with a smile and promised, "I can solve this problem!" ”

Although he didn't know why the local authorities refused to cooperate with Boeing, the future generations did not have themselves, and Boeing established the same magic capital branch, obviously the local government agreed, but there were other considerations.

Since it will be passed locally in the previous life, there is no reason why it will not be passed in this life.

Not to mention that he still has some friends who can help, but no, according to the timeline development, Boeing's establishment of the Modu branch will definitely be successful.

So this assurance of his is no different from the white wolf with empty gloves.

"Then how to divide this share?" Edward groaned.

A touch of cunning flashed in Fang Ping's eyes: "Boeing can invest in technology and get forty percent of the shares." I will contribute money and efforts, suffer a loss, and take 30% of the shares! ”

"As for the other thirty percent, you know!"

Edward's nose is almost crooked, do you dare to be shameless?

It looks like Boeing has 40 percent of the shares, and you're only 30 percent.

But actually!

The third party that was brought in, apparently wearing a pair of pants with you, added up to 60% of the shares, took away control of the branch.

What the hell is this called a loss?

Thinking about it, Edward and Fang Ping had another argument over the distribution of equity.

In the end, an agreement was reached that Boeing would occupy 49 percent of the shares of the branch, Fang Ping would occupy 30 percent of the shares of the branch, and the third party brought in would occupy 21 percent of the shares.

It seems that Boeing has the most shares, but in fact, Fang Ping still holds control.

And this is the maximum that Boeing can make concessions.

The main reason why Boeing will give up is that it is unwilling to give up the Chinese market, and he also demands the result of third-party neutrality.

In response to this, Fang Ping said that it didn't matter.

If you are not neutral, you have to make decisions about the branch itself. If there is a problem with the decision, or if it is not in everyone's interest, the promised neutrality is just an empty word.

In addition, there is another premise for the establishment of the branch, that is, Fang Ping must remove all obstacles to the establishment of the Modu Boeing branch, as well as the participation of third parties.

After the joint venture branch initially negotiated the plan, Fang Ping and Edward re-negotiated the procurement matters, and signed a procurement contract based on the purchase of two full freighters in stock, ten customized full freighters, and related modifications.

Full payment for two full freighter planes and a 30% deposit in advance.

After the business was over, Fang Ping and his entourage were warmly welcomed by Boeing.

That night, Boeing also held a banquet to entertain Fang and others.

Next, Fang Ping stayed in Jiacheng for a day, and after a good visit to the Boeing warehouse, production site, etc., they went to San Francisco together.

After staying in San Francisco for two more days, Fang Ping also learned that after the last unhappy break up with Gao Sheng and others, there was no phenomenon for the overseas branch of Future Technology, so he said goodbye to Fengziyue with peace of mind, and left the United States with Su Xiaoxiao and others.

ended the trip to the United States.

Back in the magic capital, after Fang Ping and Su Xiaoxiao and the others separated, they rested in the villa for two days before going to the future technology office.

On this day, Fang Ping came to the outside of the future technology office area.

As soon as he walked into the office area, Fang Ping found that the company actually appeared in groups of three or five, whispering, and even the employees looked at themselves not quite right.

I was a little puzzled, but I had a calm face on my face, and coughed heavily: "Is the work done?" ”

Groups of people who were whispering were all startled and dispersed.

Fang Ping casually called out to a female employee who was whispering and asked, "What were you all talking about just now?" And look at my eyes, why does it feel wrong? ”
