Resource Tycoon Reborn
Chapter 400 Going a step further
In his previous life, Fang Mingyuan had read some online news and interviews. Although it is hard to say how true these news and interviews were, some things could be seen from them.
At that time, in order to develop its own civilian passenger aircraft, the country formulated a three-step strategic policy. The first step was to assemble and produce the MD-82 passenger aircraft domestically, which was assembled in Shanghai by the Shanghai Aviation Industry Corporation and the American McDonnell Douglas Corporation.
, Therefore, the MD-82 aircraft has become the only large jet airliner assembled, produced and put into operation in mainland China; the second step is for both parties to cooperate to produce the MD-90 passenger aircraft; the third step is to build the MD-90 passenger aircraft
On the basis of this, we will absorb the advanced technology of McDonnell Douglas to develop our own domestic passenger aircraft!
However, everyone planned well, but during the actual implementation process, various unfavorable factors emerged, causing the entire plan to have twists and turns. Moreover, after starting to cooperate on the MD-90 passenger aircraft, McDonnell Douglas was acquired by Boeing, although it is said that Boeing
The company planned to continue cooperation with China on the newly developed MD-95, which is the Boeing 717. However, China has decided to suspend the project. In the end, the plan failed completely, and China's "big aircraft" dream was shattered.
Although China once again restarted the manufacturing plan of "large aircraft" shortly after entering the new century, until Fan Mingyuan's death in his previous life, China's large aircraft still did not fly into the blue sky in a real sense and joined the domestic air transport fleet.
Come to the team.
Although the domestic media avoided talking about the suspension of the project, Fang Mingyuan believed that Boeing must have learned the news. Motiejunas actually came to fool him. Did he really think that he was so ill-informed? But
He then thought about it. If he had not paid attention to this news in his previous life, he might not have known about it now. At this time, there was no room for private enterprise activities in the domestic civil aviation industry, so unless there was an air crash, who would pay attention to it?
This kind of thing? Everyone is busy looking for jobs and filling their stomachs.
Naturally, Motiejunas didn't know what Fang Mingyuan was thinking, and he was still talking about the Boeing 717. Last year, Boeing conducted flight demonstrations in many cities in China. At that time, the Chinese civil aviation market was in urgent need of a large number of regional passenger aircraft. Boeing hoped that
This will further promote the entry of Boeing 717 aircraft into the growing Chinese regional aviation market. However, Boeing's efforts did not receive a response from the Chinese civil aviation department.
Fang Mingyuan just listened perfunctorily. After finishing the meal, Fang Mingyuan left the Boeing factory on the grounds that he would visit the University of Washington tomorrow. Naturally, Motyjunas sent them out of the Boeing factory before they separated.
Early the next morning, Bryant arrived at Bill's house. However, he did not drive, but drove a yacht from Lake Washington. The water surface area of Lake Washington is more than 80 square kilometers, so it seems
It is like a sea, and Mount Rainier National Park stands in the distance. The snow-capped top of the mountain is even more beautiful in the hot summer. However, this is an active volcano!
The yacht drove slowly towards the University of Washington. Bryant and Fang Mingyuan stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the beautiful scenery all around, taking in the clear blue lake and ripples of the lake. Fang Mingyuan saw many yacht docks by the lake.
, there are many small yachts docked, which is obviously a good place for leisure and entertainment. There are also many houses on the lakeside, not only unique and beautiful luxury villas, but also boathouses made entirely of wood.
Fang Mingyuan couldn't help feeling that the U.S. government's level of environmental protection was far inferior to that of the Chinese government.
"Fang, I heard that you visited Boeing yesterday?" Bryant leaned on the railing and took a deep breath. Seattle is such a big place, and those are the only people Fang Mingyuan met at the dinner.
If you ask Bill about it, it will not be difficult to know where Fang Mingyuan is.
"Well, I visited for one day and spent more than 200 million US dollars!" Fang Mingyuan said calmly.
"More than 200 million US dollars!" Bryant took a breath and said, "You bought a plane? Do you have an airline in your name?" More than 200 million US dollars is enough to buy a large passenger aircraft!
Fang Mingyuan shook his head and said: "It's not a large passenger plane, it's a business jet. I bought four business jets. Mr. Motyjunas gave me a big discount!"
"Four business jets!" Bryant was surprised again.
"Well, I have many industries under my name, which are distributed in China, Japan, South Korea, Russia and Australia, and I also come to the United States and the Middle East from time to time. These business jets not only meet my needs, but are also provided to those high-level people in the company.
Transportation tool. In China, flight delays are a big headache!" Bryant already knew that he was a shareholder of Microsoft, so Fang Mingyuan naturally didn't care to tell him more.
Bryant's eyes when he looked at Fang Mingyuan immediately became a little strange. He felt more and more that this young man from China was like a mystery. When you feel you understand him a little bit, you just
You will find that he hides more secrets.
Of course he also knew that Boeing's business jets were BBJ business jets. The market price of one was about 60 million US dollars, and four aircraft were 240 million US dollars. Including the interior decoration, the cost
Twenty to thirty million US dollars is normal. And buying an airplane certainly requires a huge amount of money. Maintaining an airplane requires money like running water. Pilots and stewardesses, who doesn’t need money? The maintenance of airplanes also requires money.
!Once you fly into the sky, you will burn hundreds or even thousands of dollars every minute! You bought four Boeing super large business jets in one go for the use of yourself and the company’s management. Such a big deal is also rare in the United States.
The courage that only a first-class company can have!
He originally thought that Microsoft's shares should be Fang Mingyuan's main net worth, but now it seems that he may have underestimated this young man. He actually has his own properties in so many countries! So how much is his net worth?
?What is his status in China? Could it be that... he is a family member of a certain big leader?
Bryant has long heard that in China, the richest people have various relationships with Chinese officials. Some of them are even direct relatives of the officials. These people take advantage of the officials.
With their power, they can quickly make a fortune. In the United States, although similar situations also exist, they are far less blatant than what they did! After all, there are many media and opposition parties watching covetously, and no official dares to do that blatantly.
Do.
However... even if he is the son of a high-ranking Chinese official, he must have outstanding talents and abilities. Otherwise, how could Cameron, Spielberg and Bill, who have always set their sights on others, be friends with him?
"Haha, your country's flight on-time performance is really speechless!" Bryant laughed. It turns out that as a director of the University of Washington, he visited the capital and magical capitals of China in the past two years and was stranded.
They stayed at the airport for several hours, and although the airport and airline staff took good care of them, when asked about the reason for the flight delay, they had no idea. Later, Bryant was talking to the visiting school
Some professors who had studied in the United States talked about this matter, and they realized that in China, delayed flights have become a common occurrence, and everyone is not surprised.
Fang Mingyuan shrugged. This problem will still be a problem in the future. This is also the main reason why he rarely takes flights since Prince Abdullah gave him a business jet. It is not because of how comfortable the business jet is, but because of how comfortable the business jet is.
Business jets are usually released on time and on time. They don't get on the plane and close the door like those poor passengers. It may take several hours before the plane takes off! Those who fly have not yet taken the train.
Come on, this can only be said to be a kind of sadness.
"Fang, regarding your and Bill's request, I have already reported it to the school board. The school board is very interested in your proposal. I think at present, it should be said that the problem is not big!" Bryant said.
Fang Mingyuan nodded. In order to gain both benefits and reputation, all they need to pay now is to provide short-term re-education for teachers from Pingchuan Institute of Electronic Science and Technology, and this is just their old profession! This kind of thing,
As long as the other party's brain is not flooded, the possibility of rejection is slim.
"Fang, I remember you mentioned that two members of the Middle Eastern royal family are the honorary directors of the school you established?" Bryant pondered for a moment and asked.
Fang Mingyuan said: "Yes, Prince Abdullah of Kuwait and Crown Prince Maktoum of Dubai. But now there is an honorary school director. Bill took the initiative to propose it the night before yesterday."
Bryant's heart skipped a beat again. Bill's regard for Fang Mingyuan was truly extraordinary.
However, he didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile: "So, if I also want to be the honorary director of a prestigious school, would you welcome me?"
"Ah?" Fang Mingyuan looked at him in surprise for a while, then laughed and said, "Andrew, do you also intend to be the honorary director of Pingchuan Institute of Electronic Science and Technology? Of course you are welcome!" Although Bryant's statement surprised Fang Mingyuan,
However, he immediately realized that the acquisition of Bryant as an honorary trustee by Pingchuan Institute of Electronic Science and Technology would undoubtedly be extremely powerful in strengthening the interaction between Pingchuan Institute of Electronic Science and Technology and the University of Washington in the future. Moreover, in the future, teachers from Pingchuan Institute of Electronic Science and Technology would come forward.
When he came to study at the University of Washington, Bryant could legitimately take more care of them.
Bryant took out his checkbook from his coat pocket, wrote a check and handed it to Fang Mingyuan, saying, "I'm not as rich as Bill and the two princes. This is my first payment to Pingchuan Institute of Electronic Science and Technology."
Donate!"
Fang Mingyuan took it unceremoniously and glanced at it. Although one million dollars was nothing compared to Bill and the others, it was still a huge sum of money in China. Moreover, Fang Mingyuan valued him more.
Influence at the University of Washington.
"No matter how much money you have, it's all with your heart. On behalf of the teachers and students of Pingchuan Institute of Electronic Science and Technology, I would like to thank you!" Fang Mingyuan bowed, "And, Andrew, you also have advantages that Bill and the others don't have!"
Seeing Fang Mingyuan agreeing so happily, Bryant's face also showed a smile. He has decided to have further contact with Fang Mingyuan, so standing in the same camp is undoubtedly a good way to quickly close the relationship between the two parties.
.
"I will send you the certificate after I return to China!" Fang Mingyuan waved Lin Rong over and handed her the check.
Bryant pondered for a moment and then said: "Maybe not. If the board of directors approves this matter, I think someone will be sent to Pingchuan Institute of Electronic Technology for on-site inspection. I can apply to go, and it doesn't matter if they are given to me at that time."
"Okay! Then I will be waiting for you in Fengyuan!" Fang Mingyuan said.
After this incident, the subsequent conversation between the two parties became much more casual.
"Fang, do you think Bill might..." Bryant shook his head worriedly. As a star company in Seattle, Microsoft is also an important employment place for students from the School of Computer Science at the University of Washington, and is his friend. Of course, he
We don’t want Microsoft to be broken up because of the monopoly case. However, judging from the current situation, Microsoft’s breakup seems to be inevitable.
Fang Mingyuan turned around and lay on the railing of the ship, looking at the Rainier Snow Mountain in the distance, and chuckled: "My personal opinion, don't ask me why, Microsoft will not be broken!" Bryant said in surprise.
Looking at Fang Mingyuan, he seemed to want to find out whether he was lying.
"Andrew, Bill, Paul, Steven and I have not reduced our holdings of Microsoft shares. All three of them are board members and are subject to restrictions, and I am just a shareholder!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, although he said that he had a lot of scattered shares.
All Microsoft stocks were sold at the high point, but Fang Mingyuan still held the shares that Bill and the others knew about. It is precisely for this reason that Bill and others are also quite grateful to Fang Mingyuan. After all, he
He is the company's third largest shareholder and is not a formal member of the board of directors. Once he significantly reduces his holdings, it will inevitably affect Microsoft's already declining stock price.
Bryant's spirit was immediately lifted. Fang Mingyuan's explanation can be said to be more useful than anything else. Once Microsoft is split up, its stock price will definitely suffer a heavy hit, and Fan Mingyuan's net worth will inevitably shrink significantly. It is just a shareholder, and
He is not a formal board member. If he is not optimistic about Microsoft's future, he will definitely find a way to transfer his shares. This is a major event involving billions of dollars!
"However, if someone secretly reduces their holdings of shares while constantly encouraging others to buy stocks, then they need to be more vigilant!" Fang Mingyuan glanced at Bryant and said meaningfully. (To be continued.
