Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Early the next morning, Bao Zixuan had just arrived at the exhibition hall of the United Aircraft Manufacturing Factory; he saw Iwasaki Koki had arrived. There is no test flight scheduled for the passenger plane today. If the old boy comes here so early, something must be wrong. After all, Mitsubishi, Motorola, Heiyun Group, and McDonnell Douglas all have their own booths at this time.

Moreover, in order to fully support Bao Shoufao, several people have formed a good tacit understanding. No one would take the initiative to come to the United Aircraft Manufacturing Factory exhibition hall; since it was left to Bao Zixuan, and they even put down their own business, they couldn't come and cause trouble. This is basic common sense and the most basic respect.

Now Koki Iwasaki is here, and he’s here so early. He knew that the old boy had something to do with him, otherwise he would never come here. When I want to come over, the test flight of the super large passenger plane has finished, and I will bring customers over.

Iwasaki Koki was worried that Bao Zixuan would misunderstand, so he first said: "I didn't come here for the super large passenger aircraft project. After all, you are more professional than me in this aspect. If I interfere blindly, it will definitely cause chaos."

The other party's attitude has been very clear, so it must be about the flying saucer. Although there were several aircrafts undergoing test flights in Heiyun yesterday, the most eye-catching one must be the flying saucer. Whether it is a stealth bomber or a desert version of a ground-effect aircraft, they have all been shown before, and they are not secret weapons at all. At most, it’s just electronic equipment and added functions, and there’s really nothing else.

But flying saucers are a brand new product, at least the vast majority of people in the world have not seen this thing fly. Except for Germany, which developed it during World War II, other countries only stayed at the theoretical stage. The Japanese have never wanted to lag behind other countries. Now that they see new aircraft, of course they cannot miss it.

Mitsubishi is Japan's largest military-industrial complex enterprise, so it will definitely bear the brunt of new aircraft. As long as the Iwasaki family did not introduce relevant technologies and production lines, and Mitsubishi did not have corresponding R\u0026D plans. Combined with companies from other countries purchasing technology and production lines from Heiyun Group, Mitsubishi will definitely become the target of public criticism. The Japanese people are very picky, and with greater ability comes greater responsibility; it is very popular in the country.

There is no company in Japan that dares to register in tax havens such as the Cayman Islands and Bermuda; this in itself is enough to illustrate the problem. Because they don't dare. If anyone dares to do that, they will definitely be sprayed to death by the people. Now if Mitsubishi does not introduce flying saucer technology, it is estimated that it will face the same treatment.

If someone takes the initiative to give money to your door, why should you be so polite? Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I don't count on the other two companies, but I still hope that Japanese airlines will come to order more planes. After all, the United States has Boeing, and it is not that easy to get orders. But the Asian market depends on us, Mr. Iwasaki You can’t back down.”

In the past, most of Japan Airlines' aircraft were Boeing series, not only because Boeing is an American company and cannot afford to offend. More importantly, many of Boeing’s parts are provided by the Japanese. In terms of supporting domestic production, the Japanese have done a good job. Mitsubishi now has a stake in the United Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. If it is closer than Boeing, Japan Airlines will inevitably be biased when purchasing.

Where does the strength of the Iwasaki family in Japan lie? It is estimated that any company or individual must give face, which is where the confidence lies.

Iwasaki Koki said with a smile: "I have already said hello to All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines. As long as it is verified to be qualified, they will definitely buy it. After all, the Iwasaki family is also a shareholder of the company, so of course they have to contribute."

"I am coming to see you now. You must have guessed that Mitsubishi wants to introduce flying saucer technology and production lines, and the price will definitely not embarrass you."

The two families have cooperated many times, so there is no need to test each other; that would just make them look more familiar. In addition, Iwasaki Koki knows what kind of person Bao Zixuan is, and of course he knows how to chat with him.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "There is no problem, the whole package is US$4 billion. Heiyun will provide the complete technology and production line of flying saucers, with an annual output of 20 units."

Koki Iwasaki is still very confident about this, as long as the production line is in place and the technology is fully understood. With the comprehensive strength of Mitsubishi Group, it is still easy to copy.

Iwasaki Koki said with a smile: "Although Mitsubishi is not weak, it is a bit difficult to come up with so much money at once. I know you like shipbuilding technology, and Mitsubishi can exchange some of its equipment and technology."

Doing business with Bao Zixuan and exchanging technology is his favorite thing. In fact, it’s not that Koki Iwasaki can’t afford the money, he just doesn’t want to pay too much at once. In recent years, Japan's economy has grown rapidly. We cannot allocate too much funds at this time, otherwise it will easily delay the progress of domestic projects.

Bao Zixuan: "No problem. Both parties will evaluate Mitsubishi Shipbuilding technology and production lines. As for the remaining part, we can pay Japanese yen or use real estate to offset it."

Iwasaki was very moved when he heard that he could pay in Japanese yen. As for the Japanese real estate debt, forget it! Everyone knows how hot Japan's real estate market is; Mitsubishi doesn't want to complete the delivery today and make a profit tomorrow.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Bao Zixuan had already expected that the yen would skyrocket. If the other party pays in U.S. dollars, they have to exchange it back for Japanese yen, which leaves a lot of trouble.

Iwasaki Koki: "Then it's settled, the yen is still enough. Mitsubishi is not as good as Heiyun, and we don't have that many dollars."

In fact, saying this is just modest. As one of the largest consortiums in Japan, billions of dollars are absolutely nothing for Mitsubishi, which has deep pockets.

Just leave the rest to your subordinates. After Koki Iwasaki visited the aircraft, he returned to the Mitsubishi showroom. There is no test flight yet, even if there is an order; it will have to wait until customers can see it.

As soon as Koki Iwasaki left, a group of Italians came to the exhibition hall of the United Aircraft Manufacturing Factory.

Bao Zixuan was also surprised, why Heiyun's business now needs to be discussed here.

Gianni Ranieri first introduced himself. Although he didn't understand why the Italians came to visit; but the visitors were guests, and the Ranieri family was a famous family in Europe, so they had to give some face.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Ranieri from Juventus. Hello! I am a football fan, and Platini of Juventus is one of my favorite stars."

The relationship between the two parties was immediately brought closer. After all, he could name Juventus and Platini; it proved that Bao Shaofu had indeed paid attention to football. Moreover, he took the initiative to find someone, so there was no need for Bao Zixuan to deliberately please the Ranieri family. The most important thing is that my family is pretty good in Italy, but looking at the whole world; at least compared to the young man in front of me, it is still much worse.

Even though he has only been successful for a short period of time, his ability to make money and his level of terror are unparalleled. Now the Heiyun Group is definitely strong and wealthy, with astonishing wealth. Most people would agree that Bao Zixuan is the richest man in the world.

Gianni Ranieri said with a smile: "If Michel knew that he had a super genius and super rich fans, I don't know what he would think."

"If Mr. Bao has time, you are very welcome to come to Juventus and watch the team's home games."

Bao Zixuan: "I will definitely go there if I have time. I really want to experience the football atmosphere in Apennines."

This is just a polite comment, if the other party can go; of course it would be better, but you can't force it if you don't want to go. Italians are also polite, but it's just whether the person being polite deserves it.

Gianni Ranieri: "I came to visit Mr. Bao this time because of the flying saucer issue."

"Fiat Group wants to introduce flying saucer technology and production lines, and we come here with sincerity; Mr. Bao can make any requests."

Hearing this, Bao Shaofu immediately had an idea. Fiat Group owns many car brands, the most representative of which is Ferrari. At this time, it is completely possible to take it under its wing; after all, Heiyun Motors does not yet have a supercar brand.

Bao Zixuan: "USD 4 billion is the official offer. And many customers have already accepted it, so it cannot be changed. But for Fiat Group, we can change the approach."

"Heiyun owns a car company, and I am very interested in Ferrari. According to the market price, Fiat's shares in Ferrari can be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for technology."

Gianni Ranieri certainly knows the influence of Heiyun Motors in the world. Although supercars have been hand-customized, they have not formed a brand after all. And given Bao Zixuan's pursuit of speed, it's normal to like Ferrari.

Things haven't been so easy for Ferrari's car factory in recent years. Now you can completely get rid of it. You must know that the most indispensable thing in Italy is supercar brands and factories.
