Chapter 919: Serious
"Black cauldron?"
"What black cauldron, is there any other reason for this?"
"Gallic Air wants us to take the blame?"
"What's the situation?"
“……”
Really.
As soon as Prince Joan's words came out, they immediately attracted a lot of discussion and attention.
Of course, there are also those who question:
"You're not going to be alarmist, are you?"
"Gallic Airlines is now the largest airline in Europe, both in terms of capital and equipment, it is the top, what kind of black pot can it have?"
"You're trying to create panic and splash dirty water, right?"
"Is it necessary for Gallic Aviation to cheat us, hehe, it looks like it's trying to deceive us."
“……”
There are quite a few similar words.
Anyone who can sit here is not a fool, and naturally he will not be deceived by a few words.
But.
Prince Joan was not in a hurry at all.
This time he was well prepared, waiting until everyone had finished their opinions and made sure that no one interrupted him again.
Then Prince John continued:
"It is undeniable that Gallic Airlines is indeed the largest airline in Europe at present, and it is among the top in the world in terms of financial strength, number of aircraft, and even the number of employees."
"Under normal circumstances, such a company needs to invest a lot of money as operating costs every year, and may be able to quickly seize the market, but again, the financial situation will not be too good."
"Even in this period, many companies basically have ugly financial reports, most of them are boiled up, and after the market is completely won, they will start to harvest wildly."
The crowd nodded.
That's true.
The faster the development, the larger the development of the company, most of the financial statements in the early stage will not be too good.
This is the consensus of the aviation industry.
After all, the cost of airlines is too high, and the price of a civilian large passenger plane is an unimaginable figure.
Not to mention the high cost of repairs, the high price of oil, and the salaries of a large number of employees.
In fact, it is difficult to return on the cost in a short period of time with the initial investment.
But......
What does this mean?
"But I don't know if you've paid attention to the data of Gallic Airlines in recent years?"
Prince Yoan said, while taking out a USB flash drive and plugging it into the computer, after some operation, I saw a document appear on the projection screen.
Seeing this information, many people subconsciously raised their eyebrows on the spot.
In fact, they have seen this data before.
But not as detailed as it is now.
More importantly.
When they saw this data at that time and when they see it now, their senses are completely different.
"If you don't say that I didn't even find out, there is indeed a problem with this data!"
"In the past two years, Gallic Airlines has replaced and added a lot of new aircraft types, but its financial statements have always been profitable?"
"Something is wrong!"
“……”
Some people found a problem, and some people asked ignorantly:
"What's the matter, is there anything wrong with this data, how many years has Gallic Airlines existed, and the previous investment has already returned to its original cost and started to make profits, isn't this normal?"
"And it can be seen that their profits have only started to grow slowly in the past two years, isn't that a good thing?"
There are not a few people who ask this.
After all, most of the people here are shareholders, but sometimes shareholders don't necessarily understand the operation of airlines.
Fortunately.
Someone is more aware of the situation:
"There's a real problem with the data."
"In the first two years, the price of Gallic Airlines' large-scale procurement and upgrade configuration is not low, although it only brought their profits and began to grow, but it is impossible for profits to exceed investment."
"Even if the business was so good that it really exceeded the investment and generated profits, but it was only a few years ago, and since the Pentagon attack, the aviation field has almost been cut in half, and all companies are in crisis at this time."
"But Gallic Airlines not only did not decline, but began to rise, and the speed of the increase is very fast, this layman may be deceived at a glance, but it is impossible for an insider to think about it carefully!"
"Although we are not as good as high-speed aviation, we can also intuitively see that we are very affected, and it is absolutely impossible for this kind of reverse situation to occur."
"Indeed, in fact, in recent years, all airlines have been losing money, and the only one that has not lost money is Ryan, which specializes in low-cost airlines, but they only barely guarantee that they have no losses, old equipment, and bad service, which has been said by many people."
"Gallic Airlines is not a low-cost airline, how can this be?"
"Normally, they should be the most difficult time for funds at this time, why are they still willing to merge us at a high premium?"
“……”
Some of the questions were actually there in the first place.
It's just that at the beginning, everyone selectively ignored this problem, after all, such a big company wanted to merge and acquire at a high premium.
What else do you care about at this time?
But after being reminded by Prince Joan, someone immediately noticed that something was wrong.
"How much do they cost?"
"For the stock market?"
Some people instantly think of the key issue, financial fraud to stabilize shareholders and protect the stock market, which is almost a common operation of many companies.
But......
"What does this mean?"
"And what are we merging for?"
"It's also a way to keep the stock price, right?"
"Does this have anything to do with us?"
“……”
Everyone was puzzled, but compared to before, they were not so confident.
"Of course, there will be no problem with maintaining the stock price normally, but the problem now is that."
"Obviously, in this situation where everyone is losing money, Gallic Airlines can fully declare that it is indeed in financial difficulties, which is actually acceptable to many people."
"But they still choose to hold on."
"There's only one possibility, they're in a very bad financial situation, and they desperately need to shift their firepower."
Joan shook his head and waved his hand as he spoke.
I saw his assistant on the side, the matter had already been taken out, and a dozen dozen of the printed materials were distributed one by one.
Before everyone could open it.
Then Prince John added:
"The document that has been sent to you now is a private document, and I will take it back and destroy it after reading it."
"Also, I hope that when you look at this document, no matter how surprised you may be, you will not show it."
As soon as these words came out, many people raised their eyebrows.
This time, instead of using a projector directly, he chose to use an official paper document, and even directly said that he would destroy it after reading it.
In such a formal situation, everyone couldn't help but become serious.
Open the file silently.
In an instant, many people's eyes widened on the spot, some people broke out in cold sweat and seemed to be unable to sit still, and more people were silent and began to look at the information in front of them.
In the originally noisy venue.
At this moment, there was a complete silence, and some people only heard the sound of Suosuo looking through the papers.
It seems.
It's the calm before a storm.
