Resource Tycoon Reborn

Eric.

Merkel hated Motiejunas to death. At this time, he had completely forgotten that Airbus had also created a wedge between Boeing and Fang Mingyuan in this way.

However, Merkel could only hide this hatred in her heart, because no matter what, whether Fang Mingyuan was out of friendship or whether he wanted to use Motiejunas's arrival to seek greater interests, he had no idea.

The right to accuse Fang Mingyuan. It is the nature of businessmen to pursue the maximization of profits! What's more, businessmen are also human beings, and they also have emotions and desires. No one likes a person who does not recognize his relatives.

Merkel took a deep breath to calm down, and then said: "Mr. Fang, what Director Motyjunas asked for is to wait for another forty-eight hours, right? I'll just wait a little longer!" Fortunately, he

The trump card has not yet been fully revealed, but he wants to see what exciting and good conditions Motayunas can bring!

"Thank you!" Fang Mingyuan said sincerely, "President Merkel, how many orders has your company's 3XX plan received so far?"

Merkel couldn't help but feel refreshed and said: "As of yesterday, we have received 74 confirmed orders and 59 intention purchase orders from 12 airlines around the world." Because Airbus

The fastest delivery time for the 3XX model was in 2005, so the June 28 terrorist attacks did not have a big impact on it. Not only were not many orders cancelled, but there were many more orders.

"Hasn't your company officially named it yet?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "When do you plan to surprise everyone?"

Merkel spread his hands and said helplessly: "Everyone has different opinions on the naming of the aircraft model, and no one can convince anyone, so it has been postponed until now."

"Really? Your current model number should be A340. According to your numbering convention, the next model should be A350." Fang Mingyuan said with some confusion.

"Yes, but many people believe that as the world's largest airliner in the future, it will break Boeing's record of more than 30 years of dominance in the field of long-range ultra-large wide-body passenger aircraft and end Boeing's dominance in the market for perhaps 30 years.

It has a monopoly position, and the number A350 is somewhat inconsistent with its positioning!" Merkel said, "I also support this idea."

Fang Mingyuan suddenly realized: "I understand, what about A360? 360 is a circle. Airbus must not be willing to spin in circles. And about 370, you must not like Boeing's auspicious number seven. Then call it A380."

Yes! Eight is a very auspicious number in China, which represents 'fa', which means prosperity, wealth and status."

Merkel's eyes couldn't help but light up. As Fang Mingyuan said, there are many negative opinions on the two numbers of A360 and A370 in Airbus, and everyone has no idea whether to choose A380 or A390.

Unification. The reasons given by Fang Mingyuan for choosing the A380 are undoubtedly in line with the positioning of the new passenger aircraft. Prosperity, wealth and status, aren't these things that people look forward to?

Fang Mingyuan secretly laughed in his heart. After he already knew the serial number of Airbus's new aircraft, wouldn't it be easy to find a reason for choosing it?

"Pa!" Merkel suddenly slapped her hands and said, "Mr. Fang, I have a request."

"Ah?" Fang Mingyuan was startled and said, "Please speak!"

"If our company finally adopts the number A380, can we announce to the public that this is the suggestion of Fang, the youngest Oscar screenwriting award winner in Hollywood?" Merkel looked at Fang Mingyuan with both eyes.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded. This Merkel would really seize the opportunity. With the global popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", "Lord of the Rings", "Ice Age" and "Pearl Harbor", this year's most exciting film industry

The film company that attracts attention is definitely Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, and the screenwriter that attracts the most attention is none other than "Fang". People have generally believed that with these four movies that have achieved a very impressive global box office, "Fang"

"Fang" once again won the Oscar screenwriting award, which can be said to be a certainty!

If Airbus publicly declares that the name of the new model is based on the suggestion of "Fang", it will undoubtedly attract more media attention and attract "Fang" fans around the world. This is undoubtedly a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

.

How much publicity expenses have been saved for Airbus?

"I have to charge a naming fee!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. He didn't mind Airbus doing this. Anyway, it was just a name.

Merkel couldn't help but be overjoyed, Fan Mingyuan had agreed! But he still felt a little regretful. It would have been better if Fan Mingyuan could announce the matter in person! As a well-known Hollywood figure, he has countless fans around the world, but "Fang"

He is the most low-key. Until now, most people don't even know what he looks like. If he agrees to come forward in person, I am afraid that the ratings at that moment will be unmatched by anyone.

However, he also understood that it would be too difficult for Fang Mingyuan to help advertise for Airbus! This was no longer a problem that money could solve.

"Mr. Fang, isn't your company interested in the A380?" Merkel asked, "The Hong Kong International Airport can fully meet the take-off and landing requirements of the A380. This will make it the first airline in Hong Kong and even China to own the A380!" If we talk about Kowloon

If an airline can take the lead in ordering the A380, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial for the A380 to enter the Chinese aviation market.

"A380..." Fang Mingyuan said in a longer voice, "To be honest, in the short term, I am not optimistic about it! In the long term, it is too early to place an order now!"

"Why not optimistic about it?" Merkel said with a surprised look on her face.

"Because it will be the largest civilian airliner in the world! Moreover, I heard that your company plans to apply many new technologies to it to make it meet the needs of society in terms of fuel economy, noise and many other aspects. At the same time, it must ensure

The aircraft has better performance, lower operating costs, easier operation and more comfortable rides!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Yes, this is exactly the business goal of Airbus!" Merkel said proudly with her head held high.

"But the biggest also means a lot of trouble. Compared with previous aircraft, the A380 is too big, and the things you need to pay attention to are also a lot more as its size expands. So I think its running-in period

, will far exceed your initial expectations. Haha, it’s not that I mean to curse you, but I really think that under the current situation, it is impossible for you to deliver the first A380 to airlines in time as planned according to the original plan.

. Or, your company will invest more manpower and material resources in this project to ensure that it is completed as planned.

Or, your company had better not rush to take too many orders, so as not to have to pay fines to customers due to delayed delivery in the future!" Fang Mingyuan said. In the previous life, Airbus had to pay fines to customers due to delayed delivery of the A380.

, paying fines of more than $5 billion to major airlines.

Merkel's brows furrowed. Although Fan Mingyuan's words were unpleasant, Merkel was not the kind of person who couldn't listen to unfavorable advice. Especially, Fang Mingyuan, who was sitting opposite, had always been...

Known for his precise business vision. Although there is no conclusive evidence for his opinions, Merkel will not turn a deaf ear to him.

Fang Mingyuan sighed softly in his heart. The A380 was indeed developed in his previous life and achieved great success. However, it has to be said that when it was first put into operation, its fate was also full of twists and turns. First, its delivery was delayed again and again.

Then there were all kinds of minor problems, and the aviation authorities of various countries repeatedly asked them to ground their flights for inspection. If Airbus was not so eager for success, it would slow down its research and development speed, and it would not be later criticized by major airlines.

The company canceled many orders and even switched to Boeing because of this. However, even if he told Merkel these things now, it would have no real meaning.

"When is the delivery date of your company's A380 now?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

Merkel glanced at Fang Mingyuan and said: "The third quarter of 2011."

Fang Mingyuan snapped his fingers and said: "Then I will take the A380 delivered in January 2013 to celebrate my birthday in the year of my birth. I believe that by that time, after several years of commercial operations, you

The remanufactured A380 will be a mature product. How about it, can your company meet my requirements?"

Merkel was a bit dumbfounded. This year is only 2001, and this person actually wants to order products from twelve years later as a birthday gift?

"Of course!" Merkel gritted her teeth and said, "However, Mr. Fang, the 30% discount is not applicable to this order. Well... I can make the decision and give you a 10% discount, but Mr. Fang must agree.

, our company can use this matter to promote it!”

Fang Mingyuan waved his hand casually and said: "15% off. My true identity and age are not allowed to be revealed. The publicity plan must be approved by me. And I want eight! The remaining seven must be completed in 2013."

Delivered for use." For a brand new model, taking into account many factors such as inflation and the depreciation of the US dollar in the past twelve years, he accepted the 15% discount.

Merkel blinked her eyes, and after a while she excitedly shouted: "Deal!"

The order for eight A380s, although the delivery time is far away and the price is very favorable, for Merkel, this already makes him feel that the trip is worthwhile!
