Rebirth of the Evil Life

After Thomas Enders received the authorization from the board of directors, he began to prepare the arms order scheduled by Lin Feng. He wasn't entirely honest with the board. After Lin Feng's transaction, I am afraid that a batch of them will be resold to Libya. Given the relationship between Libya and the United States, this batch of arms may be used against the US government in the future. This may end up being blamed on the EU.

However, Thomas Enders only cares about profit. Businessmen pursue profits, and now the company needs to develop. This order will allow the company to achieve greater development. As for what will happen next, who can say? Besides, Thomas Enders has always believed that Lin Feng is a magical person. By taking this opportunity to cooperate with Lin Feng, Lin Feng may be able to take action when the company encounters difficulties in the future. Even if the company does not encounter difficulties, but he encounters personal difficulties and asks Lin Feng for help, with this relationship, he will not worry about Lin Feng not helping. What's more, he also received amazing dividends from these orders.

So, the last one is human nature!

"Li Rui, ask Brother Meng to arrange for someone to take over. We are going to Detroit." Lin Feng ordered.

The matter here has been negotiated, and the only thing left is to hand over the goods. Lin Feng does not need to worry about this. He can just ask Wang Meng to send professionals to inspect the goods and receive them.

"Boss, Brother Meng has sent someone here and they will arrive in Paris tonight at the latest." Li Rui replied with excitement. As a soldier, there is nothing more exciting than seeing a well-equipped weapon. Li Rui felt excited from the bottom of his heart when he thought that 'Lang Ya' would now have this batch of sophisticated weapons. He followed Lin Feng and usually did not need to fight. At most, he only needed to prevent terrorist attacks. The desire for this batch of arms is not too strong. But those elite soldiers of the ‘Wolf Fang’. But the battle is on the front line. Own these weapons. It is enough to greatly reduce the casualty rate of ‘Langya’.

"Well, then you send someone here to prepare for the handover, and we will go to Detroit first." Lin Feng nodded and said, "Also, leave two of these eight satellites for me. My company will use them. If the number of satellites is not enough, Buy again! As for the money, don’t worry, I will provide the capital, and there is no need to use the working capital of ‘Langya’.”

The welfare package of ‘Langya’ has always been excellent, and it is also the best among mercenary organizations in the world. Especially the compensation for disabled soldiers has always been the first in the industry. Therefore, although the commission of ‘Langya’ is high, in fact, not much is left to the company in the end. Up to now, ‘Langya’ has only more than 100 million US dollars of liquidity in its account. We must use the financial resources of ‘Langya’ to purchase this batch of arms. That is undoubtedly a pipe dream. Therefore, Lin Feng could only contribute the money. Fortunately. Lin Feng did have a sum of money on his person. The money he got from 30 countries for the sale of Nuwa, after paying the final balance of "Fengcheng", was just used to pay for this arms order. After paying this amount of money, Lin Feng felt clean again. The funds in the account shall not exceed US$100 million. But it’s coming soon. This summer, it’s time for Lin Feng to make a fortune.

Food crisis!

Li Rui nodded,

After giving instructions and leaving one person to wait for the handover, everyone rushed directly to Paris International Airport and flew directly to Detroit.

When Lin Feng reached a secret arms supply agreement, Boeing Company had already arrived in the United Arab Emirates and mainland China in two batches and started their public relations policy, preparing to lobby the two countries to purchase their Boeing series aircraft instead of purchasing the technology just now. The A380 is taking shape but has not yet been tested in practice.

In this regard, Airbus A380, whose order growth has been very slow, its chief operating officer John Leahy is very worried. He was afraid that Boeing would steal these two big markets again. Emirates Airlines is reportedly planning to completely phase out and upgrade its entire fleet of old aircraft, with a conservative estimate of its market transaction value exceeding US$90 billion. If this order is obtained, it will be enough to put Airbus out of financial crisis in a short time. After all, in the past few years, the development of the Airbus A380 has consumed Airbus' too much liquidity, and the sales of other aircraft have been poor. If it cannot get this order, I am afraid it will really fall into a financial crisis. Even if the parent company ‘European Aerospace Defense Aviation’ comes to the rescue, it will be of no avail.

After all, the most important thing for a company's survival is its own profitability. If you are always unable to make a profit and rely on the rescue of the parent company, then it will be a matter of time before you go bankrupt.

As for the Chinese market, orders are not that big yet. However, as China's economy continues to improve and the income of the Chinese people increases, air travel will become the preferred means of transportation for more and more Chinese people. Therefore, the Chinese market is a potentially huge market. If it is conquered by Boeing, the market will be doomed in the future.

The market is finished now, and the market will be finished in the future, so will Airbus still survive? Is this A380 still alive? So immediately, John Leahy reported this matter to Lin Feng. After all, Lin Feng holds the title of CEO of Asia and is the company's second largest shareholder, so he has reason to be responsible for the company's interests.

Lin Feng curled his lips after answering the phone. His 20% stake has not brought him any benefits, but has caused some troubles. He has to deal with this matter himself. Of course, Lin Feng can understand John Leahy's embarrassment. In the past, Airbus has never paid much attention to the Asian market. They have always paid attention to the European and American markets. As a result, the European and American markets were completely defeated by Boeing with more outstanding performance and technology. When they finally developed a large passenger aircraft comparable to Boeing, they might be defeated again by the other party because of the problem of market share. It is normal for John Leahy to be anxious.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Lin Chiling asked worriedly. After all, Lin Feng has invested in Airbus. If Airbus is really finished, it will naturally not be good for Lin Feng. What's more, in Lin Feng's industrial chain layout, an aircraft research and development company is also needed to provide aircraft support for airlines and travel companies to protect their industrial chain.

"Don't worry, such a big order is not something that can be negotiated. Especially those officials in China, don't you know? If they don't get enough benefits, they will easily give up! Especially this time, Boeing was so urgent and rushed. The year has just passed. If they don't eat such fat meat, are those officials still officials!" Lin Feng laughed.

"What about the UAE? The West Asians are always very straightforward." Lin Chiling said worriedly. It is rumored that the order of Emirates Airlines is as high as 90 billion US dollars. And West Asians have never lacked money. Once they approve it, they will pay the bill. A business of 90 billion US dollars is not something that Lin Feng, a huge industry, can easily give up.

"Emirates Airlines, these West Asians are indeed prone to impulse consumption!" Lin Feng nodded.

How to comment on West Asians, to use a popular Internet phrase, is that they are stupid and have a lot of money. Compared with the consumption level of the local tycoons in China, West Asians are definitely better than them. Supercars made of pure gold, luxury yachts, private jets, seven-star hotels, etc. are all synonymous with West Asians. In this oil-rich country, ordinary people buy gold in kilograms. You can imagine the wealth and extravagant nature of West Asians. If West Asians are really persuaded by Boeing, this 90 billion order may just fly away.

But it is not worthwhile to let myself be a lobbyist for only 20% of the shares. Lin Feng thought about it for a while and directly called Fabrice Brégier, the president of Airbus.

"Mr. Brégier, I just invested in shares and held the title of honorary chairman and the so-called Asian executive president, but in fact, Airbus only has a marketing division in Asia, no factory, and no parts transactions. Let me be a lobbyist, don't you think this is too unfair!" Lin Feng said loudly.

This negotiation requires skills, but when facing the absolute strength of one party, skills and the like do not exist. Just like in the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei and Sun Quan jointly resisted Cao, and needed skills to persuade Sun Quan, so Zhuge Liang was sent to persuade Sun Quan with his eloquence. But after that, after Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou, when Lu Su came to ask for Jingzhou, Liu Bei was unreasonable and did not need any skills. In short, I said I would not return it, what can you do to me!

So, now Lin Feng does not need to be too skillful, just show his dissatisfaction and conditions directly.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, what are your conditions?" Fabrice Brégier naturally understood what Lin Feng meant, so he did not bargain, you name the price.

"It's very simple, I want to split Airbus's profits in Asia in half." Lin Feng said with a smile, "Otherwise, I will not come out as a lobbyist!"

As the richest man in the world, he only got 20% of the profit dividends when he went to be a lobbyist. This is too degrading. So, at least 50-50.

Fabrice Brégier had no choice but to agree. Airbus' influence in Asia is far less than Boeing's, and its technology is not as good as theirs. Boeing has taken the lead, and if it wants to make up for its disadvantage, it can only rely on Lin Feng. Therefore, whatever conditions Lin Feng puts forward must be agreed. What's more, Lin Feng's conditions are fair. After all, Asia is an emerging market, a market that Airbus has never paid attention to in the past.

After getting the promise, Lin Feng called Emirates Airlines.

"Hello, President Tim Clark, I am Lin Feng. I know that your company is negotiating an aircraft order contract with Boeing. I am now negotiating the same contract with you on behalf of Airbus. However, I can't come back for the time being, but I can promise you that no matter what conditions Boeing gives you, I can give you better! In short, before I come back, you can't agree to any conditions of Boeing." Lin Feng said very domineeringly. (To be continued)
