Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Bao Shoufang knew that someone wanted to deal with him, but the enemy had not yet fully surfaced. I don’t know how many enemies there are. After so many years of doing business, it will inevitably harm the interests of some people. At present, we can only wait until the other party strikes first, otherwise we won't know who to hit with our fists.

What emerged at this time was the Charter King and Shark Dantong, and there must be others. Otherwise, the two of them would not have the courage, let alone the strength. Both of them are the kind of people who don't let the hawk see the rabbit before they see it, and they won't do thankless business.

At this time, Bao Zixuan had no time to care about these things, because the Paris Air Show was about to begin. Whether Heiyun Aircraft Manufacturing Company can open up the situation depends on whether it can make a splash at the Paris Air Show. This is the most important work of Heiyun Group at present. As for the other things, let’s wait and see.

Paris is the capital and largest city of the French Republic. It is also the political, economic, cultural and commercial center of France. It is one of the five international metropolises in the world (the other four are New York, London, Tokyo and Hong Kong) and is rated by GaWC. It is an Alpha+ first-tier city in the world.

Paris is located in the center of the Paris Basin in northern France, straddling both sides of the Seine River. The city center coordinates are 48°52′ north latitude and 2°25′ east longitude. Paris in a broad sense can be divided into Little Paris and Grand Paris. Little Paris refers to the city of Paris within the Grand Ring Road, with an area of ​​105.4 square kilometers and a population of 2.24 million; Greater Paris includes the Hautes-Seine, Val-de-Marne, Seine-Saint-Denis, and Yvelines departments surrounding the city. The seven provinces of Paris, Val-d'Oise, Seine-et-Marne and Essonne together form the Paris Region. This area has been called "Ile-de-France" in ancient times. The urban area has a population of approximately 11 million. accounting for one-sixth of the country's population.

Paris has been the capital for more than 1,400 years. It is not only France but also the political, economic and cultural center of Western Europe.

For such a powerful city like Shanghai, most people call it the Paris of Asia. This shows how high Paris is in the hearts of people around the world. Bao Zixuan has been to this romantic city many times in his previous life. Compared with the 21st century, it has not changed much at this time. Western countries have developed for nearly 300 years, and urban planning is relatively more reasonable. In addition, Paris has many ancient buildings; in addition to the institutional restrictions, which is why large-scale demolitions have not been carried out.

I don’t know if this is more conducive to urban development, but at least it looks very comfortable.

The Paris Air Show has a long history and is one of the largest events in the aviation industry. Moreover, Mr. Bao is no stranger to the Paris Air Show. After all, this is his main business.

The Paris-Le Bourget International Aerospace Exhibition, referred to as the Paris Air Show, is the largest, most prestigious and oldest international aerospace exhibition in the world. The organizer of the Paris Air Show is the French Aerospace Industry Association. It is held every two years and is held in the early summer of odd years. The exhibition venue is located at Le Bourget Airport in the northeast of Paris.

The first air show opened at the Grand Palais in Paris on September 25, 1909, and was held annually thereafter. During the First and Second World Wars, the Paris Air Show was interrupted, but due to the rapid development of the aviation industry prompted by the war, the Air Show was quickly resumed after the war. The Paris Air Show was changed to every two years after the 6th session in 1919. Today happens to be an odd year, otherwise we would not have this opportunity.

Bao Zixuan came to Paris with Mike Briffin, Frank Horton and Wang Quanming. The aircraft had already arrived before them, and so had the Black Cloud engineers.

What makes Bao Zixuan uncomfortable is that he is currently unable to fly on his own aircraft because he has not obtained an airworthiness certificate. It can only do test flights, which is also a small regret.

As the head of Heiyun Group's European area, Hiroshi Hashimoto personally came to Paris Le Bourget Airport to pick him up. Of course, this is also the venue for this air show. All previous Paris Air Shows have been held here. After all, this is the oldest airport in Paris.

Paris Le Bourget Airport is a civil airport located 11 kilometers north-northeast of Paris, France. It is between the two towns of Beauneil and Dinny, and straddles the Oise Valley and Seine-Saint-Denis provinces. Provincial administrative boundary. Charles de Gaulle Airport, Orly Airport and Le Bourget Airport are the three most important major airports in the Paris metropolitan area. All three are operated and managed by Paris Airports Company.

Le Bourget Airport began operations in 1919 and was the first civilian airport in Paris. It was the only civilian airport in the greater Paris area until Orly Airport opened in 1932.

However, the functions of this airport are now basically replaced by Charles de Gaulle International Airport, and the air show has become one of the few lively moments of this ancient airport. The air show is held here for convenience and will not delay the normal order of Paris air transportation.

Hashimoto Hiroshi saw Bao Zixuan stepping off the plane and hurried forward to greet him. At the same time, he said with a smile: "Your Excellency, President, it has been a hard journey."

Bao Zixuan looked at Hashimoto Hiroshi and said: "President Hashimoto has been working hard recently. My wife is pregnant and I asked you to be responsible for coordinating the Paris Air Show. I really feel sorry for you. However, other people coming here are still a little worried. They will wait until the air show is over. .You can take a good vacation and spend time with your wife."

The words of Mr. Bao not only moved Hiroshi Hashimoto, but also made other people feel very comfortable listening to them. It is said that the boss cares about his employees very much, which can be seen from the company's food, accommodation, etc., but he did not expect that even the employee's wife is very concerned about her pregnancy. This is really rare, so of course people won’t think about it in other ways.

Hashimoto Hiroshi: "Thank you, President, for your concern. These are all my duties. Besides, my wife is in China and she doesn't need me to take care of her."

The Japanese are absolutely ruthless in this regard. It seems that the wife giving birth has nothing to do with the man. Even if the wife gives birth to the child on the day, she will not ask for leave because of this matter. Of course, it has a lot to do with the domestic medical conditions. Compared with other countries in the world, the infrastructure is relatively complete. However, it also reflects the cruelty of the Japanese workplace from the side. To describe it as inhumane is an understatement.

After Bao Zixuan got on the bus, he came to Hangar No. 13. When you see this number, you know how unpopular Heiyun Group is. This is the number that Europeans dislike the most. It is basically assigned to small companies without strength. This year is the first time that Heiyun Group has participated in an aviation exhibition, and the host committee wants to give this rising star a head start. After all, this is the home ground of Airbus and the French company Dassault.

France has been pursuing an independent military industrial model since Charles de Gaulle announced his withdrawal from NATO. French companies are required to produce any weapons and equipment, including nuclear weapons and aircraft carriers. Although it causes a certain degree of waste of resources, it also improves France's international status. At the same time, the domestic arms industry has developed rapidly, and the aviation industry has made even more progress.

Airbus Aircraft Company occupies Hangar 1 for this air show, which is understandable. Although Airbus is the result of the joint efforts of all Europe, its headquarters is in France after all. The concept of European integration has been proposed for so long, and it cannot be so clearly distinguished at this time.

Dassault occupied Hangar 2, a result that made Boeing very unhappy. Even if Airbus is at the front, Dassault is nothing. Why was it placed in Hangar 2? Do you really think Boeing is easy to bully? Because of the hangar incident, Boeing frequently approached the committee to protest. But the French were so arrogant and they just ignored it.

Boeing is naturally ranked in Hangar 3. It is strange that Boeing, which considers itself the leader in the aviation world, has no objection. But this is in France, so we can’t go too far.

The rest include Air France, Embraer, Lockheed Martin, de Havilland, British Aerospace, etc., all of which have better hangar locations than Black Cloud Group. Of course, the Soviet Union also sent representatives to participate. Both the Sukhoi and Mikoyan design bureaus came to Paris with new aircraft. Aircraft exports are one of the important sources of foreign exchange for the Soviet Union. Of course, I will not let go of such a good opportunity. No matter how powerful the Soviet Union was, the French still had to give some face and placed them in the top ten.

Of course, the strength of the two Soviet design bureaus can also be ranked in this position. Even if they cannot reach it, the French will not be able to offend all countries; they will inevitably make appropriate compromises, and strong strength is more important than anything else.

Listening to Hashimoto Hiroshi's report, Bao Zixuan didn't say anything. The aviation industry is different from other industries. A strong company does not mean it can do whatever it wants; it needs a strong country to support it. At this time, Xiangjiang's status is very embarrassing. It is normal for the French not to take you seriously. Now we can only rely on our products to speak for ourselves. I believe that the situation will be reversed after the aircraft is unveiled.
