Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 3980: 20% Equity

Fabrice Brégier's invitation was too abrupt. To Lin Feng, this was completely inexplicable. Although it is said that investing in Airbus Industries is beneficial to our tourism industry.

At present, Lin Feng owns a "Windshen Travel Company", and Avril Lavigne also owns Air Canada acquired from Li Zeju. If "Airbus Industries" is added to it, this can form a perfect industrial chain. This is a good thing, but it doesn't make sense logically.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Now that Airbus Industries has officially obtained the flight certificate for the A380 and entered the major airlines, Airbus Industries will also have the confidence to compete with Boeing. At this time, it doesn't make sense to let yourself become a shareholder. Before this, when they were not making money, they did not think of themselves, but when they were making money, they thought of themselves. Are they just living Lei Feng?

Live Lei Feng? No one in Lei Feng’s hometown of Changsha wants to learn from Lei Feng. Although the lyrics from primary school say this - learn from Lei Feng's good example, be loyal to the revolution, loyal to the party, and never forget hardship and simplicity, and never forget your original willingness to be a screw in the revolution...

Who can still do these lyrics now? In this materialistic society, who would be so stupid? It is impossible for China, let alone the West, which has always advocated equal exchange. It can be said that I had no interaction with Airbus Industries before today. Do you dare to accept this sudden ‘free lunch’?

Fabrice Brégier and John Leahy looked at each other, and they could see Lin Feng's doubts from the solemn look on Lin Feng's face.

"Mr. Lin, we can understand your doubts. After all, we have not had any relationship before, and now that Airbus Industries has developed the A380, the prospects are good. Under such circumstances, if we suddenly ask you to become a shareholder, you will definitely Very skeptical. This is normal! It would be the same for us." Fabrice-Brélier said with a smile, "That's why we need President Chirac to make a recommendation."

"Yes, Mr. Lin, we come here with absolute sincerity. President Chirac can guarantee us this. Otherwise, he will never introduce us to you." John Leahy took over the topic. He is a salesperson and chief operating officer. He led his team and sold 5,000 aircraft for Airbus Industries. His eloquence is naturally very good. Today, his primary purpose of accompanying Fabrice Brégier and Lin Feng to meet was to persuade Lin Feng to invest in Airbus Industries.

Lin Feng nodded. Lin Feng still believes in Chirac. The two parties are considered friends. Since Chirac introduced it so carefully and specially recommended it, it is enough to show the sincerity of Airbus Industries.

But sincerity is sincerity. Whether you cooperate or not depends on the benefits and risks.

"Mr. Lin, regarding the current situation of Airbus. Perhaps in your opinion,

Just when it was booming, the A380 officially obtained the aviation certificate, and the title of the world's largest passenger aircraft was enough to make our company the most high-profile aircraft R\u0026D company in the world, an aircraft R\u0026D company that can officially challenge Boeing. But this is just the surface. In fact, our situation is not good. "John Leahy said sincerely, "First of all, from an international perspective. Boeing's reputation has long been established, and its Boeing series of aircraft have always been a brand pursued by airlines around the world. If we want to challenge Boeing's hegemony in this field, the prospect is extremely difficult. We need allies! "

Lin Feng nodded. As far as Lin Feng remembers, although the Airbus A380 was well received, it was insignificant compared to the market share of Boeing series aircraft. Especially after this. Boeing even launched the Boeing 787 to compete with the Airbus A380, which made Airbus' life not so comfortable.

"In the European and American markets, the aircraft market is mainly occupied by Boeing series. If we want to break Boeing's monopoly, we must make a breakthrough from Asia. In Asia, we believe that Mr. Lin's prestige is unparalleled in the world. Mr. Lin's friend We have countless friends all over the world, especially in Asia. If Mr. Lin is our shareholder, I believe he can help us sell more Airbus A380s!" John Leahy said hopefully.

The global market is almost dominated by Boeing aircraft. Only in Asia, due to the late development of the aviation industry, international routes have only been gradually opened and increased in recent years. Therefore, Boeing aircraft in Asia do not yet have absolute dominance in the European and American markets. If Airbus wants to break through, it must work hard in Asia. After their investigation, the most influential figure in Asia is undoubtedly Lin Feng. Moreover, Lin Feng has connections with leaders and dignitaries in many Asian countries. Cooperating with Lin Feng will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the promotion of Airbus aircraft. In particular, there is a Chinese market behind Lin Feng, an extremely huge Chinese market. And these are what Airbus is interested in.

"So what are the conditions?" Lin Feng asked bluntly. Since the other party is 'thirsty for talent', he will naturally have to raise the price. Don't talk about conditions at this time, but when will you talk about conditions.

"Mr. Lin, you are indeed a cheerful person!" John Leahy laughed. He has been in sales for decades and is not afraid of the other party offering high prices. It doesn't matter how big your mouth is, as long as you speak, it means you are tempted. As long as you are tempted, then both parties have something to talk about. Then we can definitely negotiate a price that satisfies both parties. And if the other party doesn't even raise the price, then it's useless no matter how high your chips are. Chips can always impress people who are thoughtful.

"Mr. Lin, Airbus is currently fully owned by EADS, and the sincerity we bring this time is the right to transfer 20% of Airbus' shares! According to the current total market value of Airbus, it is US$25 billion. Calculate, 20% of the shares is equivalent to 5 billion US dollars! Once Mr. Lin owns 20% of the shares of 'Airbus', he will be the second largest shareholder of 'Airbus'!" John Leahy showed his chips.

20% of the shares, I believe this bargaining chip is very satisfactory. You must know that Airbus is the only company in the world that can challenge Boeing aircraft, and owning 20% ​​of its shares is enough for Lin Feng to have a certain say in Airbus, which will help Lin Feng build his own aerial vehicle in the future. It would be extremely beneficial for the palace, as well as his tour company. Naturally, John Leahy had done some research on Lin Feng. After fully analyzing Lin Feng’s potential ownership of Air Canada and the ‘Aeolus Travel Company’, he determined that Lin Feng needed such an aviation research and development company. This helps Lin Feng continue to expand his business empire.

Lin Feng was surprised. He didn't expect that John Leahy's bargaining chips came so fiercely. He said he was offering 20% ​​of the shares, which was extremely sincere. After all, this year’s ‘Airbus’ is no longer the ‘Airbus’ of last year. Last year, Airbus kept failing to deliver the aircraft as scheduled because of the A380 delays. As a result, its market value continued to decline and its presidents changed several times. This year, the A380 has been officially delivered, and the situation of Airbus has been greatly different. The 20% stake is indeed very sincere.

However, being so sincere made Lin Feng a little embarrassed to open his mouth again. They have shown their sincerity, but if you still ask for a high price, it would be unkind. This is not negotiation, but blackmail.

Lin Feng pondered slightly.

"Do I have a seat on the board of directors?" Lin Feng asked.

"Yes! We will give you a seat as honorary chairman, and you can propose one person to serve as a supervisor of the company." Fabrice-Blier said with a smile.

Lin Feng's eyes jumped. This sincerity is indeed very high. Although the honorary chairman's seat has no rights, it is still an honor, and the supervisors have certain real power. The so-called supervisors are members of the company's permanent supervisory authority, also known as "supervisors". They are responsible for monitoring the company's financial situation, the performance of the company's senior managers' duties, and other supervisory duties stipulated in the company's articles of association.

Although this position will not actually participate in the daily management and operations of the company, it can monitor all situations. Generally speaking, a shareholder like Lin Feng only participates in dividends and does not involve the daily management of the company. At most, he will be given a director status and can participate in the company's meeting discussions, and at most he will be given voting rights, without giving any rights to the company. He or she holds any actual office. And now Airbus has given itself the status of honorary chairman and a supervisory position, which is very sincere. This made Lin Feng very satisfied.

But sincerity is sufficient, so what do you need to pay?

"Haha, Mr. Lin, you don't need to do anything. All you need to do is that from now on, all the aircraft used by you and all your companies will be purchased through Airbus. At the same time, we hope that in the Asian market, Lin Sir, he can help the company lobby some countries, such as Arab countries and China!" John Leahy's eyes were full of hope.

Letting Lin Feng take a stake is naturally for the super market in Asia. Occupying this market means having a trump card to compete with Boeing. Looking at China in the future world, already lagging behind Boeing, if Airbus wants to catch up, it must take the lead and strike hard. Lin Feng is what they regard as the most advantageous weapon against Boeing. In particular, the relationship between Lin Feng and Boeing is not harmonious. In this way, the two parties should be able to work together seamlessly.

"How about it, Mr. Lin, what do you think?" Fabrice-Brélier asked with a smile. He believed that his side had enough bargaining chips, and as expected, Lin Feng would agree. To be continued.
