Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

When it comes to who is most anxious about the dinner now, I guess General Dynamics’ CEO would definitely be ranked first. Seeing the two most threatening competitors, Bao Zixuan had a pleasant conversation. And it is clear from the expression analysis that the two parties have reached an agreement. Although General Dynamics does not have to obtain the technology patent for the three-rotor engine, it does not want to see Pratt \u0026 Whitney get ahead.

In fact, Rolls-Royce is not that big of a threat to General Dynamics. But Pratt \u0026 Whitney is an opponent that cannot be ignored. Both parties are American companies and have access to the same resources. And because Pratt \u0026 Whitney is more focused on aerospace engines, the Department of Defense will lean towards it to some extent.

Every country, everywhere; balance is needed. If it helps General Dynamics, it will suppress Pratt \u0026 Whitney. Then you will lose competition within yourself. If that is the case, it will not be conducive to technology research and development and business development. If a company loses its vitality or motivation, then it is unrealistic for it to provide any good products.

Even if General Dynamics loses its aircraft engine division, it will not starve to death. But as a century-old enterprise, this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen. And in that case, their status in the US military will inevitably plummet. If you want to turn over in the future, it won't be that easy.

GM CEO James came to Bao Zixuan, and the two of them knew each other; after all, they had met several times before, so they were considered acquaintances.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Hello, President James! We haven't seen each other for a long time. What have you been busy with recently!"

Unlike the other two, General Dynamics' board of directors is very secretive. And after so many years of development, it can be said that the founding family's equity has basically been diluted. Therefore, General Dynamics has always maintained a professional manager system.

The benefits are obvious. At least the head of the company is relatively professional; he will not act recklessly, and the company's development will be relatively stable. But there are also some disadvantages, that is, the corporate inheritance is poor and the sense of belonging is not strong.

In fact, James had already come here, but he just saw people around Bao Zixuan and was too embarrassed to come forward to disturb him. Everyone is an acquaintance and knows their respective purposes; directly interrupting someone else's conversation is not only a matter of politeness, but more importantly, it is against business rules.

In addition, the other two are both major shareholders of the company, and he, as a professional manager, is still worse than others.

Bao Zixuan greeted him like an old friend, but it made him a little uncomfortable. This guy looks kind-hearted, but everyone who knows him knows it. When he strikes, he will never be soft-hearted. GM CEO James is very familiar with Ian Wright and is somewhat related to them.

On the surface, it seems that the Wright family has taken a big advantage. After all, they used scrap steel from the U.S. military and exchanged it for three core technologies and production lines. But if you think about it carefully, Heiyun Group has made a lot of money because of this operation. At least for the next ten years, there is no need to worry about steel.

In recent years, various developing countries have invested heavily in infrastructure construction. For example, this is the case in China, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia; if there is demand, prices will inevitably increase accordingly.

As the company with the largest demand for steel, Heiyun Group's costs are bound to rise. But who would have imagined that the U.S. military would stockpile steel. That is a massive amount, and the Ministry of Defense does not have accurate figures for the specific number. Although steel is a consumable, some of it will be taken back for second or third use after use. Therefore, the reported quantity is not that accurate at all.

The amount accumulated over the years is very impressive. Many people have thought about this before. But because the quantity is so large, the market cannot digest it at all. If you only conquer one or two factories, then if the superiors investigate, you will inevitably suffer a lot; profits and risks are very unequal.

But Bao Zixuan actually directly used Ian Wright's ambition to grow the family and exchanged technology and production lines for so many things. Watching waste products being exchanged for technology and production lines; Americans took advantage. But anyone who knows a little bit about it will know that the profit earned by Bao Zixuan from this transaction will start at tens of billions of dollars.

Coupled with the fact that we now have core technology in our hands, prices will inevitably rise. Although he knew he was being ripped off, he had to face it positively when the time came. After all, this was his job.

James: "I'm here to congratulate Mr. Bao. The achievements achieved by Heiyun Group and United Aircraft Manufacturing Company during the air show are the envy of all companies."

It's obviously a bit sad, but it's the same for everyone. No one would have imagined the performance of United Aircraft Manufacturing Company. Although it was clear before that with the reputation of the four companies, sales would not be bad. But I didn't expect it to be so good. Almost all the top airlines in the world have placed a large number of orders.

If the business of Bao Zixuan's companies is good, then the business of other aircraft manufacturing companies will naturally deteriorate. Although General Dynamics' core business is not selling aircraft, aero engines are a very important part of aircraft; to be precise, they cannot be said to be parts and can be treated as a small finished product.

If the business of the partners is not good, who can they sell the engines they produce? Therefore, it has also greatly affected General Dynamics' sales. If it does not change, it is estimated that this impact will continue.

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you for still thinking of me. Although United Aircraft Manufacturing Company's performance is very gratifying, there are also many hidden dangers. For example, until now, there is no suitable manager."

Hearing this, James immediately understood what it meant. Could it be that he was poaching him? It was not impossible. He had also learned about the specific situation of United Aircraft Manufacturing Company before; the four companies held a very balanced shareholding ratio of 25%. However, Bao Zixuan, as a serial linker here, coupled with his terrifying financial resources and understanding of the aircraft profession, vaguely occupies a certain dominant position.

For example, in this air show, we can see the clues. But in a strong situation, it still depends on the shares, which is the final decision-making power. United Aircraft Manufacturing Company, currently does not have a CEO. At this air show, except for Bao Zixuan, no one else seemed to be involved.

Mr. Bao is a busy man, and he is also known as a hands-off shopkeeper. I will definitely not be the CEO of the company. After all, the company only has a quarter of the shares, so there is no need to invest too much energy.

Mitsubishi's Koki Iwasaki is not suitable for the aviation manufacturing industry. As for Robert Calvin, age is one thing; the most important thing is that he doesn’t know anything, at least he has no relevant experience. Little Macdonald is a professional counterpart, but this guy is just a playboy; a company as good as MacDonald can be turned into this by him.

The other shareholders of United Aircraft Manufacturing Company will definitely not let this kid get too involved. Although the final machine was manufactured by McDonnell Douglas, it can be said that McDonnell Douglas has the lowest say here. The other three companies have money, so they can do anything easily.

As for the internal personnel of the four companies, they are not suitable either. The first is a question of ability, and the second is a question of trust. After all, everyone has a tendency, and they will naturally move towards their old club, which is not in the collective interest.

Choosing a British person to serve as CEO will inevitably lead to a situation where the company is too big to lose. If they get together, the ultimate loss will be the interests of shareholders; the four companies have little to do with the UK.

Being able to become the CEO of United Aircraft Manufacturing Company requires professionalism on the one hand, and more importantly, knowing how to balance the interests of all parties. General Dynamics can handle such a complex environment by itself; United Aircraft Manufacturing Company may be really trivial.

Going up the pole is not a transaction, you have to wait for the price. After all, Bao Zixuan just said that. He is still the CEO of General Dynamics and must safeguard the interests of the company.

James smiled and said: "With the prestige of United Aircraft Manufacturing Company, talents will naturally take the initiative to join us. But I came here hoping to obtain the patent authorization of the three-rotor engine. I don't know what Mr. Bao's intentions are."

He must not be distracted now, even if he is going to work at United Aircraft Manufacturing Company tomorrow; but today he is still the CEO of General Dynamics, and he must not lose his basic professional ethics.

Bao Zixuan: "I'm very sorry. I have reached an agreement with Pratt \u0026 Whitney. They will receive exclusive authorization for the US market. Except for Heiyun Group and Pratt \u0026 Whitney, no company will sell three-rotor high-thrust engines in the US market." .”

"Therefore, if General Dynamics wants to obtain patent authorization, it still has to convince Pratt \u0026 Whitney; otherwise, Heiyun will be powerless. After all, I will never do anything that goes against business principles."
