Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

With McDonald's announcement, the four joint super-large passenger aircraft projects are basically determined to be settled in the UK. After all, it is not Bao Zixuan's business alone, and the details still need to be discussed clearly; at least the partners must not feel unfair. This is the basis for all cooperation. Otherwise, if you agree reluctantly, you will have to settle old scores afterwards.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Since everyone has no objections, let's allocate the work."

Seeing that everyone has no objections and the meaning is obvious, just arrange the work directly!

In fact, the richest man Bao was a little unreasonable. After all, he had just arrived and hadn't had time to rest yet. Fortunately, they all took a private plane, otherwise he would definitely not have been able to bear it. The time difference alone is a headache. I don’t know what I’m thinking about arranging tasks now.

Bao Zixuan continued: "The most important thing is the aircraft factory, for which McDonnell Douglas has an absolute advantage. Therefore, the task of hiring the best designers in the world and designing a new modern factory is left to McDonnell Douglas."

"McDonnell Douglas engineers are responsible for coordinating specific matters. The requirements are simple, don't be afraid of spending money, but it must be the best. Either don't do it, or do it well. This time the four companies join forces, we can't make people laugh."

"Motorola is responsible for communications laboratory and industrial chip issues, and its technology cannot lag behind Texas Instruments."

"Mitsubishi is responsible for setting up the parts processing workshop. As for how many parts it wants to produce in the UK, Mitsubishi decides on its own."

"Heiyun will solve the engine problem; it will not be held back. As for the procurement of other supporting parts, the UK has a complete aviation industry system. Four companies will jointly form a board of directors, and then recruit managers and technical workers."

"There will definitely be great potential for the super-large passenger aircraft project in the future, and I hope you will work together. Of course, this is also a good opportunity to learn, and it depends on whether you can grasp it."

You should say ugly things first to avoid embarrassing situations later.

Little MacDonald is very worried about Heiyun and Mitsubishi, given the industrial strength of these two companies. If you understand the technology thoroughly, you will soon be able to produce large aircraft yourself. As for Motorola, it simply does not have the ability to develop and produce ultra-large passenger aircraft.

Now that Bao Zixuan has made things clear, it doesn't feel like it's a big deal. If McDonnell Douglas does not cooperate with these companies, it will not be allowed to launch the super large passenger aircraft project in terms of funds. Even now, it is a bit difficult. Moreover, the super large passenger aircraft project is not that easy. At least if you want to get rid of McDonnell Douglas and go it alone, it will be difficult to achieve in a short time.

Isn't there anything worth learning about Motorola's communication technology, Heiyun engine technology, and Mitsubishi's parts processing capabilities? The four families together are considered a strong alliance. It also provides an opportunity to learn from each other. As Bao Zixuan said, it depends on who can grasp it.

Now that the matter is settled, the land is sufficient. Next is the issue of planning and design. Of course, the premise is to negotiate the investment details with the British side.

Super large passenger aircraft are strategic products, and their military role is also significant. Although it is a peaceful time now, before the Soviet Union collapsed, most European countries were in panic. Once a war breaks out, aircraft manufacturing plants will definitely be requisitioned. Even if they are not requisitioned, the aircraft still need to be produced in accordance with the requirements of the British Ministry of Defense. These must be negotiated in advance to avoid being at a disadvantage later.

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher came to the small town of Luton for the first time a day later. Although it is less than a hundred kilometers away from London, he is the prime minister of a country after all, so this is the first time he has gone through such trouble.

A phone call from Bao Zixuan brought the heads of Mitsubishi, McDonnell Douglas, and Motorola to the scene. This kind of appeal is really unimaginable. It is estimated that even she does not have this ability. Although you are the British Prime Minister, not everyone has to give you face. Bao Zixuan of Heiyun Group is different. If he wants to cooperate in the future, the other three will meet his request.

Fortunately, we all know each other before. As British Prime Minister, he visited the United States and Japan. I am still very familiar with well-known entrepreneurs from both countries. The United States and Japan are the world's largest and second largest economies, and leaders of any country will not ignore well-known companies in the two countries.

The 1980s was also a period of rapid expansion for American and Japanese companies, especially Japanese companies, which were conquering cities and territories around the world. That is to say, after the establishment of science and technology towns in our country, it has calmed down a bit; but it is still much stronger than companies in other countries.

Mitsubishi is definitely the number one industrial company in Japan and has not invested in the UK before. Compared with the United Kingdom, Japanese car companies are more willing to develop in the United States. Most offices have been established in Europe, mainly because there are too many competitors in Europe. Without cost advantage, there is no point in coming here.

Motorola is one of the world's communications giants and the absolute king in the field of communications. This aspect is the weakest area of ​​the British Empire. Now that Motorola can be attracted, it will also be a huge improvement for the British communications industry.

McDonnell Douglas is one of the top three civil aircraft manufacturers. I have always looked down on the UK before, but now I can put a super large passenger aircraft assembly workshop in the UK. It is enough to put the British aircraft manufacturing strength on par with the United States and the Soviet Union. Even if there is still some gap, it won't be too big.

As for Heiyun Group, it ranks first in the world in terms of comprehensive industrial strength. It seems that in the industrial field, Heiyun Group has its shadow. And every field is developing very well, with almost no shortcomings.

It is a grand event for four companies to invest in the UK. Mrs. Thatcher attached great importance to it, and it was reasonable to come to negotiate in person.

Thatcher said with a smile: "First of all, on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen and all the citizens of the British Empire, I welcome you all. We will definitely cooperate fully with you to come to the UK for inspection. Therefore, if you have any needs, please ask directly. do not mention it."

"The four of them are all well-known entrepreneurs. Before coming to the UK, they must have a certain understanding of the UK's industrial base and supporting industries. I won't introduce them in detail here; what we can do is provide logistical services and make every effort to ensure the operation of the super large passenger aircraft project stand up."

Mrs. Thatcher knew that the main group of these four people was Heiyun Bao Zixuan. In fact, under normal circumstances, McDonnell Douglas should be the core. After all, airplanes are their professional field and they have profound technical accumulation.

But little Macdonald is a playboy, far different from Bao Zixuan. Based on him, it is estimated that Motorola and Mitsubishi will not agree. Bao Zixuan is another person who advocates speed and efficiency, so it is better to be simple and clear.

After the Iron Lady finished speaking, the tax department officials began to introduce the preferential policies for investing in the UK. The intensity is very strong, and it has only one purpose: to show 100% sincerity to welcome the super large passenger aircraft project.

The four people had already done a division of labor before, and all negotiations involved were handed over to Robert Calvin. Because in Bao Zixuan's opinion, he is the most suitable candidate.

Little Macdonald was too frivolous and not shrewd enough. Koki Iwasaki's Japanese identity does not give him any advantage in the UK. The richest man, Bao, was too impatient and often lost his temper.

No matter from which perspective, Robert has an advantage; therefore, the project negotiation can only be left to this old boy.

Robert Calvin: "First of all, I would like to thank Her Majesty the Queen and Your Excellency the Prime Minister for your concern. Our four companies are very sincere about investing in the UK, but super large passenger aircraft are the most cutting-edge manufacturing industries. It is still risky to settle the project in the UK. It is a big risk. After all, no company is affiliated with the UK, which is also a hidden danger. Therefore, we hope to reflect it in the contract. Once we face competition with local British companies and conflicts and disputes arise, we must treat everyone equally and without bias. Be fair and We must adhere to the principles of fairness and openness, otherwise it will be difficult for companies to dare to invest in the UK in the future.”

"Secondly, super large passenger aircraft are an excellent modification platform. When the British military needs to order modifications for military aircraft, we should be given priority."

"In addition, once the country enters a state of emergency, we can cooperate with the unified coordination of production in the UK. The premise is that the price is reasonable and nothing that harms the company's interests can happen."

It was a reasonable request, at least Mrs Thatcher thought so. It shows that these companies are sincerely here to cooperate, otherwise it would be impossible for them to just make such a request.

If these are not met, it is estimated that as Robert Galvin said, no company will come to the UK to invest.

Mrs. Thatcher: "The conditions are very reasonable. Under the same conditions. The British military's purchase orders will definitely be tilted towards the domestic side and will not do things that are far away from the near."

"Britain is the first country to realize the industrial revolution and will never dig its own grave and crowd out foreign companies."

"When the country enters a state of emergency, products will be purchased rationally; there will never be any forced buying or selling."

Next, some specific details were discussed. As long as it was an opinion put forward by Robert Calvin, the Iron Lady would basically give it satisfaction, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
