Lin Xiao and Catherine talked about a lot of things, some about Catherine's intelligence organization, and some about cooperation.

Originally, Lin Xiao thought that Catherine was a lone intelligence dealer, but after visiting her company at this time, she found that the private intelligence organizations in Europe had long passed the time of fighting alone, and they were now completely organized, planned, idealistic, goal-oriented, method-based, and means-oriented.

Such an organization is basically the same as some government intelligence agencies, and in some respects, even better.

So Lin Xiao suddenly had an idea, if the intelligence organization was co-opted, wouldn't it mean that he would become familiar with the situation in Europe?

Thinking of this matter, Lin Xiao's heart suddenly moved, and he had a relatively preliminary idea.

That is, it is far better to completely absorb Catherine's company and use it as an intelligence base in Europe than to create an intelligence organization and infiltrate Europe.

And most importantly, Catherine, who is a Turk, is naturally more likely to integrate into the European intelligence industry without worrying about being found to be alarming.

So Lin Xiao raised this issue with Catherine, asking to buy Catherine's company, or use the sales agency to replace it with her.

"You've taken a fancy to my intelligence company?" After Catherine heard what Lin Xiao meant, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, "In comparison, this intelligence company is just a chicken rib, and it's a pity to abandon it." ”

Do private intelligence organizations make money? Naturally, yes.

However, there are many private intelligence organizations in Europe, and even if Catherine's intelligence company is quite profitable, it is far from the number in Catherine's mind, so he will do everything possible to get in touch with Lin Xiao and get the sales agency rights that he can get in the past.

Now it seems that this goal may be achieved, because Lin Xiao has taken a fancy to her intelligence company.

Now that Catherine has a bargaining chip to negotiate with Lin Xiao, she is naturally a little happy in her heart, after all, she has what Lin Xiao wants in her hands, which can obtain some favorable conditions for her in the negotiation with Lin Xiao.

However, the ** in Lin Xiao's hand is too big, and Lin Xiao is originally a person who is good at negotiating conditions, so after Catherine talked for a while, she found that she didn't take advantage of it at all, but let Lin Xiao have the upper hand.

"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it!" Catherine said angrily, "If you continue like this, my company will be given to you for nothing, and I have not received any substantial benefits, your ** in terms of sales agency rights, is too rigid, if you continue like this, I won't make much money at all!" ”

Lin Xiao didn't think so, he smiled and said, "To be honest, you are the first customer to talk to me about sales agency, although many people came to me to ask me before, but I didn't see them." ”

"Am I supposed to feel very honored?" When Catherine heard this, she asked rhetorically, "Oh, it should be like this, after all, you are also the heir of a top wealthy family in China, and you are also a very mysterious figure." I should be very proud to be able to do business with someone like you. ”

"In that case, there is no need to say it." Lin Xiao wrote down a few more numbers on the paper, and then pushed them in front of Catherine, "This condition is that I take special care of you, so you should be satisfied now, right?" ”

"What, is that really the case?!" After Catherine saw the new conditions, she couldn't help but be surprised, "Mr. Lin, are you kidding me?" Is it really possible to sign a formal contract on this condition? If that's the case, I'll be able to accept it right now and sign up right away! ”

"Your temperament is too anxious, I can give you two days to think about it, and then sign a contract with me, and save you from suddenly regretting it later, thinking that I deliberately deceived you." Lin Xiao replied with a smile.

Although Catherine was worried about the long nights and dreams, worried that Lin Xiao would suddenly regret it, and was unwilling to sign the contract, she strongly asked to sign the contract with Lin Xiao immediately, but Lin Xiao still refused her, stating that the contract would be signed in two days, and if the contract was signed now, it would be contrary to his style of acting.

In the end, Catherine left with great reluctance, and it was evident that she was a little uneasy along the way.

After all, the ** is too big, compared with her intelligence company, you can see at a glance which is more important.

Lin Xiao returned to his room and slept well.

Early the next morning, the prime minister asked him to accompany him to visit the local attractions and prepare to go to his next stop, France.

However, Lin Xiao heard people on the road that this time he went to France, he might also visit, and maybe, he might sign an aircraft purchase contract or something.

For this, the entourage has different statements.

Some people say that it is a routine means to purchase, and some people say that Airbus aircraft may not be purchased this time, because the diplomatic relations between China and France have not been very harmonious recently.

In this regard, an insider from the Civil Aviation Administration of China revealed that the leaders of Huaxia visited Europe and the United States, and basically had to sign back the aircraft orders every time, and at present, some routes could not be stuffed with even one more aircraft, and many planes could only be parked in the hangar.

So they are a little worried, this trip to France, will the prime minister also come with an order?

In fact, the order for passenger aircraft has come to prominence in the diplomatic arena of China, dating back to 1972.

An unnoticed by-product of the normalization of relations between China and the United States was that Nixon sold 10 Boeing planes to China.

At that time, Nixon's "" was an airplane, which became the best promotional advertisement.

It is said that as soon as the motorcar to greet the president left, a group of Chinese people could not wait to board it." "The comfortable and spacious interior, the automated electrical system, and the cockpit full of precision instruments have greatly shocked the experts and officials in these fields.

Seven years later, when the second-generation leader visited the United States, he not only ordered three passenger planes, but also made a special detour to Seattle to visit the 747 passenger aircraft production line, which set a precedent for Chinese leaders to visit Western aircraft manufacturers and also laid the foundation for the interests of large companies such as Boeing in China.

Later, Sino-American relations fell to a freezing point.

In order to break the diplomatic dilemma, three generations of leaders personally grasped diplomacy and sought a diplomatic breakthrough with the United States, and the Boeing order became a big card in the hands of the Chinese government.

In 1990, Huaxia and Boeing signed the largest civil aircraft order in Boeing's history, with 36 confirmed orders and 36 intended orders, with a total value of 9 billion US dollars.

Boeing reciprocated the favor by consciously assuming the role of a mediator between China and the United States, establishing a large research and lobbying team in Washington, D.C., to pave the way for the promotion of relations between the two countries.

When the three generations of leaders visited the Boeing Xizhitu General Assembly Plant, Boeing organized more than 3,000 employees to welcome them.

Subsequently, Huaxia set off a wave of Boeing aircraft ordering.

In 1994, Boeing delivered its 200th aircraft to Huaxia.

In the years since, Boeing's many cases of promoting Sino-American friendship with its strong lobbying ability and continuously obtaining huge orders have entered the teaching materials of the world's top corporate public relations models.

By the time the four generations of leaders visited the United States, European and American countries were in deep financial crisis and could not extricate themselves, and Huaxia had become a veritable financier in the international market, and it was extremely generous.

The trip to the United States by four generations of leaders has brought Boeing a large order of 200 aircraft, which is equivalent to providing them with 100,000 jobs.

In fact, the reason why aircraft orders have been elevated from a purely commercial act to a diplomatic tool is that they are easy to control.

Different from the enterprise-led model of the general order procedure in the international aviation industry, the company's aircraft orders are managed by the Civil Aviation Administration of China as a whole, and the departments involved in the approval of orders mainly include the Civil Aviation Administration, the National Development and Reform Commission and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, but the final decision on the order is at the government level.

There are generally two ways for Huaxia airlines to purchase passenger aircraft, the first is to directly contact and negotiate with foreign aircraft manufacturing companies for their own needs, and reach an agreement on the model, quantity, and payment method they intend to purchase, and sign a letter of intent at the same time; Subsequently, the airline submitted an application to the Civil Aviation Administration of the Ministry of Transport, and the Civil Aviation Administration submitted it to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) after approval, which then signed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and solicited the opinions of other relevant parties.

The Chinese government's consideration of aircraft orders is reflected in the countersigning opinion of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in this link, and finally the application is submitted to the State Council by the National Development and Reform Commission.

Airlines can sign framework agreements only after they have been approved by the State Council.

Therefore, in order to avoid the risk of commercial default, Huaxia airlines will attach a declaration clause to the purchase contract with the aircraft manufacturer that "the transaction can only be officially effective until it is confirmed by the competent government department".

In this way, if the contract is not approved by the competent government department, the liability for compensation can be reduced, and at most the deposit will be lost, and there is no need to pay the breach fee.

The second way is to purchase and distribute to various airlines according to the overall needs of the country, such as the aviation equipment group company under the Civil Aviation Administration.

This procurement is based more on diplomatic considerations than on commercial needs, which makes airlines somewhat uncomfortable.

Therefore, a person from the Civil Aviation Administration said privately that every time a national leader visits the United States and Europe, they are trembling, because basically they will sign back the plane order every time.

As a result, now, because the number of planes on the route is a bit, many newly purchased aircraft can only be parked in the hangar, and there is no use.

"You don't have to worry about that." When Lin Xiao asked about the prime minister, the prime minister's answer made Lin Xiao even more unpredictable.
