Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Just when Bao Zixuan was still enjoying the joy of the HH-01 Phantom fighter-bomber making a blockbuster appearance at the Paris Air Show. I received a phone call from the United States. To be precise, this phone call did not convey good news. The U.S. Commerce Department has already taken action against Heiyun Group. Although it is tentative, it also happens to hit Bao Zixuan's weakness.

The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to conduct an antitrust investigation into Heiyun Group. During this period, Heiyun's branches in the United States are not allowed to transfer money to outsiders for no reason. This means there is no reason why money should not be remitted to the parent company other than for normal business purchases.

To put it nicely, it is to prevent the transfer of funds; to put it worse, it is to prevent Heiyun Bank from getting enough funds. In order to cope with the run crisis of Heiyun Bank, Bao Zixuan has arranged for Heiyun Software Company to provide funds to Heiyun Bank. However, the U.S. Department of Commerce disrupted the plan in one fell swoop, and the failure of U.S. funds to return would bring about a series of chain reactions. If it cannot be handled in time, Heiyun Bank will face huge risks.

In fact, Wall Street capital was behind all of this, and they wanted Bao Zixuan to compromise. Then to achieve the purpose of purchasing shares of Bao Huodong's company, it can be said that Bao Zixuan paid for it because he was young. Thinking about everything too idealistically, not taking into account the dangers of the world. Some people can change the rules and even be shameless in order to achieve their goals. But there is no use just talking here, we can only deal with it actively.

The U.S. funds cannot be returned, so we have to find other ways. So Bao Zixuan quickly contacted Clay Clark who was far away in Japan and asked him to do everything possible to mobilize funds to support Xiangjiang.

I have never felt that my boss was so anxious, and Clay Clark did not dare to neglect. We are selling some unnecessary projects and using existing properties as mortgage guarantees. Fortunately, Japan has not taken any action against the Black Cloud Group, otherwise things would be worse.

The main reason is that the Japanese are not as powerful as the United States, and they dare not go too far in some things. However, mobilizing funds from Japan can only meet urgent needs and cannot achieve the effect of curing the root cause at all. Although Heiyun Group makes a lot of money, Bao Zixuan's expenses are also huge. The Heiyun Town project is a bottomless pit. With so many products developed, it will be difficult for multinational companies with average labor costs to support it.

At present, funds can only be raised through the Paris Air Show. It depends on what these countries think.

The heir to the Iraqi president, the second son, came to Bao Zixuan, which made Bao Zixuan see an opportunity. The HH-01 Phantom fighter-bomber costs $450 million each, and must be paid in full. Otherwise, I'm sorry and cannot accept your order. Production is strictly based on payment order, and no country can jump in line.

The second young master was very grateful to Bao Zixuan. Without this young man, he would not be where he is today. But he is the heir to Iraq after all, and he cannot lose national interests because of gratitude. That would be irresponsible to the entire country and would make the people spurn it.

The second young master smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Bao! I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much. My father often mentioned you and told me to come to Paris to learn from you." Xuan said with a smile. : "Hello, Second Young Master, is the President in good health? We're about the same grade, so there's no need to be so polite. "

Seeing that the number of people in the hangar had increased, the Second Young Master knew that he had to take action in advance. At the same time, it also creates an illusion for people that Iraq does not have this aircraft. Of course, this is Sima Zhao's intention and everyone knows it, but when it comes to acting, you have to do the whole thing.

Second Young Master: "I came here this time to purchase 4 ground-effect aircraft and 6 HH-01 Phantom stealth aircraft from Heiyun Group. At the same time, I ordered 8 919 passenger aircraft to Heiyun Group on behalf of Iraqi Airways. After the war, Iraq must resume civilian use. Aviation."

The order quantity is not a lot, but it is definitely a lot.

Bao Zixuan: "A ground-effect aircraft costs US$80 million; the Black Cloud 919 passenger aircraft sells for US$32 million; and the HH-01 ghost aircraft costs US$450 million. The first two aircraft cost just a deposit. As for the HH-01 ghost aircraft The full amount must be paid in one go. Don’t worry, Heiyun Group has a small problem in Xiangjiang and is in urgent need of funds."

The cost of ground effect aircraft has further dropped due to mass production. The Airbus A310 passenger plane sells for US$35 million, and the Boeing 767 sells for US$36 million. Heiyun is an emerging force in the civil aviation market and dares not surpass these two companies in terms of price.

At present, we can only take the path of small profits but quick turnover, and the first task is to gain a firm foothold in the market. As for the HH-01 Phantom aircraft, there are no competitors at all on the market; the price can be whatever you want, and the attitude can be tougher.

Although he had been mentally prepared, the second young master was still shocked by the price and conditions proposed by Bao Zixuan. If we follow what Bao Zixuan said, Iraq would have to pay Heiyun Group US$3 billion at once, and that would only be the first payment. The US$2.5 billion that Heiyun Group previously remitted to Iraq has not yet been warmed up, and it will be returned directly with an additional US$500 million.

But the current situation is like this, and there is no room for any hesitation. Although Iraq has just experienced a war, it is still a sovereign country. It is also a big oil country. Before the Iran-Iraq war, it had more than 30 billion US dollars in deposits. Although the war has left it in debt, it can still divert some funds from other Middle Eastern countries.

Second Young Master: "Is Iraq the first country to get an airplane?"

Bao Zixuan: "Of course, Heiyun Group pays great attention to credibility when doing business. It will not do anything to damage its own brand, so please rest assured."

The second young master knew that there was no other choice, so he signed the contract readily. At the same time, this is also the first official order of Heiyun Group at the Paris Air Show. However, I did not expect that the total amount of the first order actually reached 3.276 billion US dollars. Of course, this is also the largest order so far at this Paris Air Show.

Iraq's signing of the contract made other countries more anxious. This is more proof that the Iraqi Air Force has used the HH-01 Phantom aircraft, otherwise it would be so happy. Money in Iraq does not come from strong winds; oil also has to be mined from the ground. It must be their absolute confidence in the aircraft that makes them so determined.

The second young master is also a person who knows the depths and sees that Bao Zixuan has many customers to entertain. And having basically accomplished the goal, it’s time to see which fighter jet to buy. Bao Zixuan is a professional in this field, and he must know which aircraft is better than himself.

Second Young Master: "Mr. Bao, I still have to trouble you with something. Iraq also wants to purchase a batch of fighter jets. You can decide which one is more suitable. The Iran-Iraq War caused heavy losses to the Iraqi Air Force, and it is in urgent need of fresh blood to replenish it."

Bao Zixuan felt that this second young master was really interesting, and it should be his father's intention. But since people ask him, he must give his opinion. After all, he is also a world-recognized aviation expert.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "This is an offending job. You can look at the Su-27 and F-16 fighter jets. If that doesn't work, consider other options. France's Dassault Mirage 2000 is also good; show some sincerity. Okay. Buy less, maybe better fighters will appear in the future.”

Of course the Second Young Master understands what it means. This is indeed the best interest for Iraq, and neither side will be offended. At the same time, the meaning of the last sentence is obvious. Heiyun Group also wants to develop a new fighter jet.

In fact, Bao Zixuan's purpose is to allow the Soviet Union to obtain more funds and do its best to extend the life of the Soviet Union, which is very beneficial to both Bao Zixuan and Heiyun Group.

The second young master came to the hangar where Sukhoi was located without any hesitation and directly expressed his intention to buy a Su-27 aircraft. The Soviet Union has not yet decided whether to sell its most advanced fighter jets, but it is watching American companies making a fortune. They are holding on to that little bit of wealth, and with the character of Americans, they may not leave you anything.

For a plane worth US$35 million, the second son of Iraq did not hesitate at all. Directly placing an order for 12 aircraft, and at the same time requiring the Soviet Union to equip it with weapons systems, Sukhoi Company saw that the profits from selling high-end weapons turned out to be so considerable.

But when the second young master went to the hangar where General Dynamics was located, he encountered some trouble. Because Israel is the country with the most F16 fighter jets besides the U.S. Air Force. Considering the relationship between Iraq and Israel, Israel will definitely be dissatisfied if F-16 fighter jets are sold to it, and they did not give a direct reply.

The second young master was not the one who suffered the loss, and said directly: "I only have one day; if your government or your company does not want to do business with Iraq, then we will consider purchasing French or Soviet aircraft. The United States is not the only one in the world that can produce good Aircraft, I hope General Dynamics can seriously consider it.”

Everyone knows that the second generation has a more impatient personality and does not care about money. Although General Dynamics wanted to make money, it still rejected the order. Not only are they worried about losing big customers, but they are also worried about Jewish forces getting in the way. In fact, there is another point. The person in charge of the General Dynamics Paris Air Show is Jewish. In the end, as the second son said, Iraq purchased 20 Mirage 2000 fighter jets.
