Chapter 1806: It's Snow Day Again
Bombardier Canada, now in the large passenger aircraft market share is not high, in the high-speed rail market share is also not high, in this era few countries to build high-speed rail, small private business aircraft market in the Gulfstream Aerospace is the most famous, it and many second-rate enterprises to seize the market.
Although at present, there is still a lot of room for growth, but it seems that the existing major shareholders are no longer satisfied with the slow growth rate, trying to get Han Xuan's capital injection to accelerate the pace of corporate expansion, and some shareholders are also trying to take off some of their gloves.
That's what executive Anthony said, and Bombardier is undoubtedly a cool company for men, building private business jets, regional airliners, high-speed rail, motorcycles, and also taking part of the market in railways and subways.
For Han Xuan, this company is very attractive, the main reason is its growth, everything is involved, but there is not much market share, its own foundation is not bad, after obtaining investment, through independent development, acquisition of existing enterprises, etc., can quickly grow into a comprehensive transportation equipment manufacturer.
He really wants to build high-speed rail in the United States, the United States is vast and sparsely populated, and building high-speed rail in most areas will undoubtedly fall into a long-term loss situation, due to the perfect highway and air transportation network, it has seized too many passenger resources.
However, in some cities and regions, there is a lot of potential for high-speed rail projects, such as connecting five major cities on the East Coast, where people are so mobile and New York's airport is so far away from the city that it takes a long time to get there.
Nowadays, the world's high-speed rail transportation lines, the most famous is the Japanese Shinkansen and the Eurostar, China's high-speed rail construction has not yet begun to develop, as for the richest United States, the high-speed rail is actually interested, in some cities between the laying of high-speed rail is promising, but there is no company, can support such a huge amount of investment, after all, it is the United States, labor and resource costs are very high.
This is not difficult in Han Xuan's view, the cost is high, and the ticket price can be increased accordingly, as long as it is slightly cheaper than an airplane and faster than driving, this already means success, it is cheap to fly to a large airport in the United States, and if it is a small airport to take off or land, it is definitely not related to cheapness.
Han Xuan himself has an airport, and in the United States, where the airport is private, it is strange that those capital businessmen can let go of the opportunity to make money, the airports on both sides have to make money, the airlines have to make money, plus the cost of maintenance, service costs, etc., it is strange that the ticket price can be cheap.
The United States does not have much passenger traffic on railroads, but it has the best rail freight system in the world, and the railways have two basic functions: freight and passenger transportation, and the total freight mileage of the American railroads currently ranks first in the world, with more than 200,000 kilometers.
According to the latest statistics of the Department of Transportation, the United States freight railroads carry about 55 million tons of goods every day, more than any country in the world, and Mr. Han's SOS transportation company is also signing long-term cooperation with these rail freight companies.
If the customer is in a hurry, you can add more money to transport by road, if you add more money, the plane transport can be delivered within three days, if the distance is close, one or two days can be, in addition to the same city freight system that is delivered on the same day in the big city, because it does not need to be distributed, it is directly sent to the self-pickup point, so it greatly saves time.
For Bombardier, he attaches more importance to the development of high-speed rail, passenger aircraft, and private business jets, and the controlling stake of Gulfstream is in his hands, and he can cooperate with Bombardier to give users new choices.
At this moment, I asked the executive officer Anthony, "What is the financing amount?"
I can't let you pay and become a minority shareholder who doesn't have a voice in the company, and if that's the case, I'd rather buy Airbus or Boeing.
They have already rejected me once, and they can't play with me again, they are not so tempting to me. ”
"It's not bad, about $4 billion, and they are trying to buy part of the original McDonnell Douglas company's large passenger aircraft business this time, and enter the large passenger aircraft business, and the acquisition will cost about $3.1 billion, and the rest of the funds will be used for the research and development of high-speed rail and private business jets.
If you get a deal, you're going to own 40 percent of the company, and I think it's going to be easy to take control of the company, and they've already made concessions, and I guess they're probably trying to use your influence to get more orders.
In other words, they're going to put the company in your hands to manage ......"
When he said this, Executive Anthony's tone was a little complicated, a company is even willing to hand over the company's operation rights to others because it believes in a person, which often happens in small companies, but Bombardier Canada is not a small company, which shows how powerful the reputation of the small boss Han Xuan is now.
It can't be said that Bombardier's directors are stupid, and being acquired by Han Xuan is a matter that everyone expects, and the news that Han Xuan is ready to buy it some time ago has made many investors who hold shares of Bombardier extremely happy, but they refused, and even many Canadian newspapers published articles saying that this was definitely a stupid decision.
If you look at Gulfstream and Han's Auto Group, Han Xuan is quite talented in how to run these transportation equipment industries, and also has a large sales channel, which can also bring Bombardier sufficient R&D and acquisition funds.
Sentiments aside, half of a $30 billion company is much more substantial than a nearly $10 billion company, and from an investment point of view, this is the right choice, provided that Bombardier headquarters is not relocated.
It is said that shopping malls are like battlefields, and weak countries like to rely on the strong when they are fighting, and the same is true for doing business, and now those enterprises under Han Xuan's hands are all invincible, constantly expanding new markets, occupying a large number of high-quality resources and talents, no matter what business they do, they all have superior or even superior operating channels.
As a result, many companies in the world are not afraid of being acquired by the Han family, but they are afraid that they will not look down on themselves, Starbucks, Hasbro, Pixar, Dimen, Rolls-Royce, Gulfstream, ABC, Aston Martin, Bloomberg News, Trump Real Estate, Qualcomm, Cisco, Nvidia, BebooK notebook spun off from Apple, etc., countless successful cases have proved the extraordinary ability of the Han family in running a business!
Because it was not acquired, the market value of GE, an old company, has recently fallen by 15 percent, and in fact, its business situation is no problem, the reason is that Han Xuan gave up buying it, and now the CEO of GE has chatted with Anthony executives every once in a while to test their ideas.
Businessmen are chasing profits, how many people really have feelings, not to mention the others, after KFC was acquired by Han Xuan about 15% of the shares, it got the Internet publicity channels of Destiny browser and O chat, and issued some electronic coupons, and its performance increased by 22% in the second half of this year! You must know that this is an old company, the market value has not fluctuated for a long time, and there is no new profit point!
What's more, their chicken suppliers began to standardize, although they reduced some profits, but their reputation suddenly overtook McDonald's, and their income increased!
When it comes to McDonnell Douglas, which was acquired by Boeing just two years ago, Boeing is now competing with France's Airbus, and before that, if Airbus had bought it first, Boeing would have had the upper hand.
Boeing's merger with McDonnell Dalwellall is mainly to prevent McDouglas from being merged by Airbus, and Airbus will be stronger than Boeing after merging McDonnell Douglas, which Boeing does not want to see.
In addition, Boeing also values McDonnell Douglas's productivity and strong R&D strength, especially military aircraft R&D strength, and Boeing has never intervened in military aircraft since the end of World War II, but McDonnell Douglas is the most important fighter supplier of the US Air Force, F-4 "Ghost", F-15 "Eagle", F/A-18 "Hornet" are McDonnell Douglas products, YF-23 "Black Widow" was only selected by the US Air Force.
In the research and development of civil aircraft, Boeing's models are more advanced than McDonnell Douglas, so after the merger and acquisition, Boeing only completed McDonnell Douglas's unfinished civil aircraft orders, and the excess productivity is used to produce Boeing series passenger aircraft and military aircraft.
Han Xuanting is excited, he is sure to open the Asian market, and now he is just short of large aircraft products......
