This morning, a seemingly ordinary news in the beautiful country touched the hearts of countless people.

That is, the four Tu-154 passenger planes that Raytheon rebuilt for Ji Cheng were delivered.

Originally, these four Tu-154 passenger planes were finished products, and only two systems needed to be rebuilt, and there were only four aircraft in total, so the transformation speed was of course fast.

The delivery of these four airliners is nothing.

What's the matter, many people were originally going to see Ji Cheng's jokes, but at that time, the plane was being renovated by Raytheon, and they could only laugh secretly, and there was no way to laugh openly and honestly.

But now the situation is different, Raytheon has delivered the planes, that is, if the next four planes cannot be sold, Ji Cheng will become a laughing stock all over the world.

"Raytheon delivered."

"Haha, I want to see how Ji Cheng sells it."

"If he can't sell it, I'll have to make a good report on the news program on his TV station."

"Why wait until he can't sell and then let the TV station report it? In my opinion, report now. ”

"Yes, let the whole American public know how stupid he is now."

"Want to sell the Tu-154 so easily? He thought it was Boeing or Airbus? ”

Many consortia that don't want to do it are laughing at them, these people basically have no business dealings with Ji Cheng, but they have one thing in common, they have a certain industry competition with the subsidiaries of Huajin Capital.

Of course, these are just plain ridicule.

There are also some big conglomerates that are not so simple as laughing.

"Always keep an eye on Ji Cheng's movements."

"He said he was going to sell a hundred Tu-154 airliners out? I'm going to see if he has the ability. ”

"If he really has the ability to sell a hundred Tu-154 airliners, then what if I invest hundreds of millions of dollars in him?"

"Keep an eye on it, and report to me as soon as there is any trouble."

Pioneer Group, Citigroup and others are very concerned.

……

Because some of the subsidiary's competitors are too eager to see Ji Cheng's jokes, many of these competitors have some media tycoons, and they can't wait to start smearing Ji Cheng before he leaves the beautiful country.

For example, NBC TV is now owned by General Electric, which is an industry owned by the Morgan consortium, and was laughing at Ji Cheng early this morning.

"Ji Cheng, a well-known financial investor and the boss of Huajin Capital, recently introduced four Tu-154 passenger planes from Xiong Guo to be sold, Jack, what do you think about this matter?"

"Oh, I think Mr. Ji Cheng is undoubtedly a little blind investment, not to say that it is not good to invest in the passenger aircraft industry, at present, there are seven to eighty thousand planes in the world every day, of which Boeing alone occupies nearly eight or nine thousand aircraft in the 737 model, in addition to Boeing has 707 and 727 series of passenger aircraft sales are good, and France's Airbus 320 Although it was put into use last year, there are currently more than 1,000 aircraft in service around the world, all kinds of data show that the passenger aircraft market is still very huge."

"Then why do you think Mr. Ji Cheng is blindly investing?"

"Because the aircraft model he invested in is the Tu-154 passenger aircraft, first of all, this passenger aircraft has a lot of accident records, in addition, its sales are actually not very good, since the first flight in 1968, the total sales are only more than 700 units, not even less than Airbus's sales in a year, not to mention that the Tu-154 passenger aircraft only occupies more than 120 of the world's more than 3,000 airlines, the vast majority of which are still the internal digestion of the bear country itself, just imagine, a global airlines are not optimistic about the passenger aircraft, Mr. Ji Cheng invested, How can it not be a blind investment? ”

"In this way, then I have to feel sorry for Mr. Ji Cheng, and according to the latest news I have gotten, Mr. Ji Cheng threatened not only to sell the four Tu-154 passenger planes that are currently handed over to Raytheon for transformation, but he also said that he wants to get an order for at least 100 aircraft, do you think it is possible to do it?"

"Possibly."

"Huh?"

"In a dream."

"Hahahaha."

An NBC radio host and a so-called industry expert frantically mocked Ji Cheng in front of countless viewers across the United States.

Another CBS is also laughing, this company has nothing to do with Ji Cheng's Columbia Pictures at present, and it can't be said that it doesn't have anything to do with it, at least there is a certain amount of competition, naturally, they will definitely not miss the opportunity to laugh at Ji Cheng so well.

"Mary, what do you think of Ji Cheng's desire to sell a hundred Tu-154 airliners?"

"Is he crazy? Thought the whole world would revolve around him? ”

is more direct than NBC TV, and even directly said that Ji Cheng is crazy.

On the contrary, because the beautiful country broadcasting company currently belongs to the metropolitan communication company, Buffett holds a certain percentage of the equity, and the analysis of this matter is relatively rational.

"I think that since Mr. Ji Cheng dares to sell a hundred Tu-154 passenger planes out of the big talk, he has a certain degree of confidence in coming."

"Well, I think so too, Mr. Ji Cheng's achievements in the financial industry are obvious to all, and I heard that he started in Huaxia by relying on trade, so it is not difficult for him to sell the Tu-154 passenger plane, and now the question is, can he sell a hundred planes, of course, I personally sincerely hope that Ji Cheng hopes to do it."

The three major TV companies in the beautiful country expressed their opinions, and two of them not only belittled but also ridiculed wildly, and only the beautiful country broadcasting company analyzed from a rational point of view.

Originally, this matter was only circulated among the beautiful national consortium, but when the three major TV companies could render this matter, almost all the American people knew about it!

"Eh, did you hear that?"

"What?"

"Ji Cheng, the godfather of Wall Street finance, said that he would sell a hundred Tu-154 airliners!"

"Huh? He's not in the wrong head, is he? How is this possible? ”

"That is, I heard from an aviation industry expert invited by NBC TV today that the Tu-154 passenger plane has only sold a few hundred units in more than 20 years since its first flight, and he Ji Cheng said that he wants to sell 100 at once? Isn't this a joke? ”

"This guy from Oriental Silver Lion must have been carried away after his great success in the financial industry, and he felt that he would definitely be able to do well in any industry."

"What if he can't sell a hundred Tu-154s this time?"

"Do you still need to think about it? What a laughing stock in the United States! ”

"When the time comes, he will definitely be annoyed and angry, and he can't even see the investment in the financial industry, isn't he letting Huajin Capital hold United Airlines stock now? Listen to me, go short, and then it will definitely plummet. ”

"Yes, Ji Cheng is now blindly inflated, there must be a problem with his investment vision, and I will go short United Airlines stocks now."

"I'll go too."

What no one expected was that after the three major TV stations reported on this incident, it would have an impact on the United Airlines stock held by Ji Cheng's Huajin Capital.

Even United itself did not expect that their stock price would plummet at the opening of the morning morning, and the main reason for this was because of the holding of Joaquin Capital.

The faces of the shareholders of United Airlines are green, the company has recently fallen into a takeover turmoil, and many small shareholders want to take this opportunity to ask the company and the acquirer for a ruthless price, but as a result, Ji Cheng came like this, they may not be able to sell at a high price, and they all couldn't sit still at once, and they used their connections to inquire about Ji Cheng's phone call, wanting him to sell the shares they held.

……

Raytheon.

Ji Cheng was asking people to inspect the four planes, and he was absent-mindedly making a phone call.

"Mr. Wei Lian, you don't have to worry, I won't hold United Airlines shares for too long, and if you don't let me sell them, I will sell them." Ji Cheng said.

On the other end of the phone was Wei Lian, the new chairman of the board of directors of United Airlines, who pleaded bitterly: "Mr. Ji, if our stock price falls very sharply and it is easy to be acquired by hostility, you, as a member of the Boston consortium, should know that someone wants to buy our company, right?" ”

"You know, don't worry, I'll sell it as soon as possible." Ji Cheng said with a smile.

Wei Lian saw that he agreed, and he was embarrassed to entangle him any longer, "Then I will thank you, Mr. Ji." ”

"Well, I'll hang up the phone first."

Ji Cheng didn't say anything more to the other party.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Adams IV looked over and asked with a smile, "A shareholder of United Airlines again?" ”

"This time it's their new board chairman." Ji Cheng said casually.

Adams IV was speechless, "They really don't believe in your abilities. ”

Ji Cheng also looked at him with a smile, "Then do you believe me?" ”

Adams IV said: "If I don't believe you, I won't agree to let Raytheon and Huajin Capital jointly fund the establishment of a special airliner after-sales maintenance department." ”

Although he said this in his mouth, he actually didn't know the bottom in his heart.

So why is Adams IV still willing to co-fund with Ji Cheng to set up a passenger aircraft after-sales maintenance department? In fact, there are not many reasons, this is the first request made by Ji Cheng after joining the Boston Consortium, if even this requirement cannot be met by the consortium, how can Ji Cheng die and advance and retreat together with the Boston Consortium?

The establishment of an airliner after-sales maintenance department would not have lost much money for Adams IV, even if it was a loss.

Ji Cheng didn't know what Adams IV was thinking, but he still said with a smile: "This is a wise decision, and the company will have a steady stream of business in the future." ”

Adams IV was noncommittal: "Hopefully, it will depend on how many Tu-154 airliners you can sell." ”

Ji Cheng understands this truth.

Normally, the warranty time of passenger aircraft will be divided into 1.5 years, 3 years or even 5 years according to different contracts, during this time, aircraft manufacturers do not need to invest too much maintenance money into it, because the aircraft are newly delivered, the parts are new, and they have not flown too many times, even if there is a problem, it can be dealt with relatively simply.

But beyond the warranty period is different, the aircraft has a problem, even a part, the manufacturer can charge the airline a lot of money.

A three-year warranty may seem like a long time, but it's not worth mentioning when compared to an aircraft with a service life of at least 30 years.

Ji Cheng did not have after-sales maintenance professionals under his hands, so he asked Adams IV to cooperate and borrowed Raytheon's maintenance personnel to help.

Simply helping is definitely not a long-term solution, so Ji Cheng and Adams IV set up a company specializing in after-sales maintenance, and during the warranty period, all maintenance costs will be borne by Ji Cheng, who let him sell the plane, and the profits also went into his pocket.

In this regard, the establishment of this maintenance and after-sales company, Ji Cheng must have lost money in the first three or five years, of course, this does not include the profit from the sale of aircraft, but simply calculates the maintenance costs.

But if the warranty time passes, the maintenance of each aircraft will bring a lot of profits to the company, and the longer the aircraft is used, the more problems there are, and the more maintenance costs will naturally be earned, Ji Cheng is not afraid that the company will not make money.

Now there is only one question, that is, what Adams IV said, how many planes can Ji Cheng sell, if the number is small, even if the warranty period is over, I am afraid that the money earned will not be enough for the company's daily operating expenses.

At least fifty units will be sold out, and there will be no profit after the warranty period.

If you want to make a lot of profits, I'm afraid that Ji Cheng will have to fulfill his previous wild words, that is, to get at least a hundred orders for passenger aircraft.

Therefore, the next Ji Cheng selling aircraft is the real difficult task.

However, Ji Cheng was not worried about this matter at all, because he knew that his plane would definitely be sold.

……

Among the planes flying to Huaxia.

First class, Ji Cheng took Jim. Breyer and the sales team were chatting about the last acquisition of Colt Jim. Breyer was deeply impressed by Ji Cheng and knew that this man was very capable in negotiations, so this time he sold the airliner, and he put Jim. Breyer took it with him.

"Jim, are you confident that you will negotiate at my price?" Ji Cheng asked casually.

Jim. Breyer smiled bitterly: "Mr. Cheng, the price of the international Tu-154 passenger plane is only about 13 million US dollars, and your offer of 15 million US dollars is a bit high." ”

"The international Tu-154 airliner uses the flight control and navigation system of the Tupolev Design Bureau, and of course the price is cheap, but the plane I have at hand is not, and the flight control and navigation system of Raytheon is used instead, do you think the quality of military products will be worse than civilian products?" Ji Cheng asked rhetorically.

Jim. Breyer thought about it, but he was still a little worried: "I'm afraid that fifteen million dollars a plane is still a bit expensive, if I meet with that Sichuan Airlines to negotiate the other party's price, how much space can you give to make concessions?" ”

Ji Cheng shook his head, "Don't let a word." ”

Jim. Breyer still wanted to persuade him, but he thought of Ji Cheng's temper, and finally swallowed what he wanted to say into his stomach.

It's not just Jim. Breyer has no confidence in this negotiation, and this time the dozen or so people in the negotiation team who followed Ji Cheng are like this.

This is a Tu-154 airliner, and it is not a Boeing, how can someone else be willing to pay a lot of money?

Ji Cheng could probably guess everyone's inner thoughts, but he didn't explain anything, because this group of people didn't understand the market in Huaxia at all, and they didn't understand how much influence he had in Huaxia!
