Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A contract of US$13.8 billion is a very heavyweight and unimaginable scale for any company in the world, and no company can pay the total amount of the contract immediately when signing the contract.  When the American media and foreign media in the United States received the notice from Boeing, everyone thought that this matter was like a fantasy. However, when they reacted, they heard that the purchaser of the contract was Boeing.  Chen, he immediately believed in the authenticity of the news.

    A large number of reporters began to rush to Seattle from all over the United States. This time Dongchen dropped another bombshell on the American financial market!  13.8 billion in cash!  Boeing will receive US$13.8 billion in cash from Dongchen in the near future!  As soon as the news came out, the fastest reaction was the stock market. From the time the news spread at noon, Boeing's stock price reached its daily limit in just two hours.

    Raymond was so excited that he couldn't be more excited. Media from various countries had already published the news before they sent reporters to Seattle. CNN gave Dongchen a nickname that was later adopted by global media: Financial World  Adrenaline!

    Yes, if anyone has the opportunity to get involved with Dongchen, it will be equivalent to being injected with a shot of adrenaline, quickly bursting out with energy far beyond his instinct. Boeing's stock price limit is just the beginning. Everyone firmly believes in one thing.  , that is, this US$13.8 billion is enough to help Boeing completely monopolize the civil aviation passenger aircraft market in the shortest possible time!

    Americans really regard Dongchen as half of their own company this time. This level of recognition has never been achieved by any foreign company in the United States. All the people highly respect Dongchen. Even the spokesperson of the U.S. Department of Commerce said  Dongchen expresses surprise and appreciation for Dongchen's decision. He believes that the joint cooperation between Dongchen and Boeing will not only promote the development of the two companies, but also promote mutual cooperation between the US economy. If Boeing rises strongly with the help of Dongchen, its impact will be  It is also a powerful boost to the relatively sluggish economic situation in the United States.

    A large number of reporters flocked to Seattle and squeezed into Boeing's press conference hall. Zhang Hao was unequivocal. He would do "good things" to the end. He not only signed the order contract with Boeing in front of the global media, but also immediately informed Dong Dong after signing the order.  Chen Group¡¯s financial department remitted the full contract price to Boeing¡¯s account.

    After Boeing¡¯s financial director confirmed on the spot that the funds had been credited, Zhang Hao and Raymond exchanged contracts and looked at each other. Their brotherly understanding was fully displayed in front of the media.

    After signing the contract, Zhang Hao did not ask questions from reporters, but said calmly in front of the world's media: "Dongchen and Boeing will work together in the field of civil aviation, and a new era of civil aviation is coming."

    The scene was filled with excitement, and most of the American reporters cheered as if they were celebrating victory. Zhang Hao and Raymond left the press conference at this time. As soon as they arrived in the lounge, Raymond said excitedly: "I have already  Contacted the Ministry of Commerce and conveyed the news that Dongchen wanted to acquire civilian aircraft engines from General Motors and Pratt & Whitney."

    Zhang Hao asked with concern: "Oh? What is the attitude of the Ministry of Commerce?"

    Raymond smiled and said: "The key is not the attitude of the Department of Commerce, but the attitude of the White House."

    As he spoke, Raymond explained: "The White House has already consulted. They believe that General Motors and Pratt & Whitney have lost their competitiveness in the field of civilian engines. If they continue to consume, the remaining market will only make them fall into a loss-making spiral."  self-extrication, and the White House also knows that if Boeing and Dongchen want to exert their greatest strength in the shortest time, what both parties urgently need is to increase production capacity. Therefore, the White House feels that if General Motors and Pratt & Whitney give up civil aviation engines, based on Dongchen¡¯s quotation  It seems that it is a good thing for them, and it is also a good thing for Boeing and Dongchen, so they have authorized the Ministry of Commerce to negotiate with General Motors and Pratt & Whitney, and I think they will give a reply soon."

    Zhang Hao nodded and asked: "What do you think is the possibility of success?"

    Raymond smiled and said: "One hundred percent." After speaking, he added: "The current situation is obvious. In the past, General Motors and Pratt & Whitney regarded their respective engine technology and production lines as top commercial secrets, and they also had certain strategic significance. But now  Generally speaking, Dongchen's technology in this area has far surpassed the two of them, their trade secrets have become worthless, and their strategic significance has been completely lost. At this time, let alone they keep the production line, even if they still hold on to  The idea of ??continuing to develop in this field is also a big mistake. Besides, the price offered by Dongchen is so suitable, what reason do they have to refuse? Don¡¯t forget, there is also the White House behind it. I think the acquisition is only a matter of time.  "

    Zhang Hao smiled slightly and already had a conclusion in his mind. It seems that GM and Pratt & Whitney will definitely win this time. According to the transaction model he gave, GM and Pratt & Whitney will be responsible for completely transferring their production lines within the country.  , and be responsible for??A series of transportation, assembly and debugging work is not difficult for them because they have such a technical team and they can complete the work very quickly.

    Perhaps, after signing the contract with GM and Pratt & Whitney, all the production equipment of GM and Pratt & Whitney will arrive at sea within a week. If you give them another week, the equipment should have been debugged. By then  , I only need to use Xiaoer's robotic arm to modify all the production lines, and Dongchen will be able to almost double the productivity. By then, at least nearly a hundred engines will be successfully rolled off the production line every day. This production capacity can be achieved in one  Within a year and a half, the engine modifications for all new and old civil aviation passenger and cargo aircraft in the world were completed, except, of course, Japan, South Korea and Australia.

    In a year and a half, large civil aircraft around the world will be flying into the sky carrying engines from Dongchen Aviation. Dongchen will also rely on its own efforts to increase the market share of state-owned enterprises in this field from zero to  100%, this huge leap is something that no company has been able to achieve before.

    After Zhang Hao signed the contract, he only waited in Seattle for one day before Raymond received an invitation from the U.S. Department of Commerce. This time, the U.S. Department of Commerce will preside over Dongchen¡¯s acquisition negotiations with General Motors and Pratt & Whitney.

    The next morning, Zhang Hao and Raymond took the same plane and flew to Washington.

    On the plane, Raymond still looked excited, but Zhang Hao was relatively calm. This kind of thing could no longer bring him much excitement, but it was different for Raymond. Once Zhang Hao finished this time  After acquiring the civil aviation engine business of General Motors and Pratt & Whitney, I will have no worries at all. When I return from Washington, I will immediately start building large-scale production lines and strive to increase production capacity in the shortest possible time.

    Seeing Raymond sitting alone on the chair with a smile on his face, Zhang Hao asked teasingly: "Raymond, why are you so excited about Dongchen's acquisition of General Motors and Pratt & Whitney this time?"

    Raymond blurted out: "Of course I'm excited! Boeing is Dongchen Aviation's only production partner. Apart from Boeing, Dongchen Aviation's other customers are airlines. If Dongchen Aviation's production speed increases,  It¡¯s a big guarantee for Boeing.¡±

    Zhang Hao nodded and said with a smile: "Dongchen cooperates with Boeing, and the development of the entire civil aviation will undergo earth-shaking changes."

    Raymond also nodded in agreement and said, "I think it's time for Boeing to restart our large aircraft plan."

    "Big airplane plan?" Zhang Hao asked curiously: "What kind of plan is it?"

    Raymond did not hold back at all, and said: "You think, once the cost of the entire civil aviation comes down, what is the biggest problem? It is the surge in passenger traffic. Is this true?"

    Zhang Hao nodded, laughed, and said: "I understand. Once the passenger flow increases significantly, the transportation volume between aviation hubs will surge. In the past, you were unwilling to follow Airbus's plan to launch super-large passenger aircraft. The main reason is that  What should be considered is the lack of transportation capacity. The passenger capacity of passenger aircraft like the A380 is too large. Few routes can guarantee the occupancy rate after airlines launch the A380 under fierce competition. However, once passenger traffic surges, then the A380  This kind of large-capacity passenger aircraft will have a place to play, especially the domestic routes of various countries, which will greatly affect railway and road transportation. By that time, the domestic hub routes of various countries will have guaranteed occupancy, and the aircraft will fly over  The larger the aircraft and the more passengers it carries, the greater the airline¡¯s profit margin.¡±

    Raymond gave a thumbs up, nodded and said: "You are right, absolutely correct. It is precisely because of this consideration that I feel that super large passenger aircraft have truly matured. Boeing also had a rough prototype plan before.  We want to launch a super-large passenger aircraft with 500-1,000 seats at the right time. This plan is still on the table because the market has not matured, but now it is time to really launch it.¡±

    Zhang Hao asked curiously: "If it is to develop a super large passenger aircraft with 500-1,000 seats, what is Boeing's general plan?"

    Raymond said: "The code name we gave this plan before was 7s7, s means super. Generally speaking, for the basic model, the overall aircraft cannot be larger than the A380, otherwise most airport runways and facilities  We are not satisfied with either, but we have also thought about developing an improved model that is larger than the A380 and can be fully used in world-class hub airports. The entire model will probably be subdivided into three models, with 500-700 seats.  , 600-800 seats, and 700-1,000 seats. As for whether to change the cargo model, it depends on the market demand at that time."

    Zhang Hao couldn't help but admired: "This plan is very mature. I don't think there is any problem. As for the cargo aircraft, if Dongchen needs it by then, I will definitely become yours."First customers.  "

    Raymond had no doubts about Zhang Hao's words. Asked him to guess ten thousand possibilities, he could not guess that Zhang Hao would plan to build his own aircraft in the future. Therefore, he felt that Dongchen would build a world-class air logistics fleet in the future.  , then the only supplier is Boeing. Zhang Hao and Ericson have already said in front of Raymond before that Dongchen¡¯s ultimate plan is to have at least 800 cargo aircraft. If this is the case, then  Boeing will continue to receive orders for hundreds of aircraft from Dongchen, which is also a huge guarantee for Boeing's development prospects.

    Raymond thought further. If Dongchen had the ability to replace all the aircraft in operation in the world with Dongchen engines, then the passenger flow of civil aviation could at least double, especially in developing countries with large populations like China and India.  In the country, due to the decline in costs, civil aviation can at least obtain several times the passenger flow. By that time, the world's civil aviation system will need more new aircraft to be put into operation. Conservative estimates will increase the number of more than 10,000 aircraft. These will all be Boeing's  No one can take away my family¡¯s orders.

    With so many guarantees, Raymond is naturally full of lofty ideals. After Zhang Hao's deception when he came to the United States, Raymond is already ready for Boeing to start an unprecedented leap forward

    The plane landed in Washington, and Zhang Hao and Raymond soon walked into the office building of the U.S. Department of Commerce under the attack of a large number of reporters. The reporters present had already received the news that Dongchen was planning to acquire General Electric again this time.  The civil aviation engine business of these two companies, Pratt & Whitney, has also released an absolutely unquestionable signal to the outside world. Dongchen and Boeing are going to join forces to do something big this time.

    In the eyes of the U.S. government, media, and people, if GM and Pratt & Whitney completely withdraw from the civil aviation engine market, it can help the United States build a more powerful and absolute monopoly of civil aviation passenger aircraft manufacturers, then this deal will be very cost-effective. GM  , Pratt & Whitney will sell all its civil aviation engine production lines to Dongchen, which is also a result that all walks of life in the United States are looking forward to. GM and Pratt & Whitney sent representatives this time, not to negotiate, but to directly prepare to sign the contract.

    When Zhang Hao and Raymond entered the conference room of the Ministry of Commerce, the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, as well as the negotiators from General Motors and Pratt & Whitney had been waiting in the conference room for a long time. When everyone saw the two people coming in, they all stood up to say hello.  The person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce was Zhang Hao¡¯s interface during his last delegation visit to the United States. Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know his name, but he nodded and smiled at him in a friendly manner.

    The other party was also very polite. After a simple greeting, he said respectfully: "Mr. Zhang, representatives from General Electric and Pratt & Whitney are already here. Let me introduce them to you."

    The person in charge sent by General Electric was named Lincoln, and the representative from Pratt & Whitney was named Stephen. After the two shook hands with Zhang Hao and said hello, the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said directly: "Let's get straight to the point. After all, the United States is waiting.  Regarding the outcome of our negotiation, we should not waste too much time. The sooner we can finalize this matter, the more beneficial it will be for both parties."

    Zhang Hao nodded and said: "I have entrusted Raymond to convey my acquisition conditions before, and I believe you all know it by heart. Let me say it again, Dongchen intends to acquire all the civil aviation engine production lines of General Motors and Pratt & Whitney.  You are responsible for transporting all the equipment to the country and completing the installation and commissioning at the location designated by Dongchen. After acceptance, Dongchen will pay the acquisition fee according to the design capacity of the actual production line. The annual output of each engine, Dongchen  Chen pays $500,000 in cash.¡±

    These two companies have already received Dongchen's quotation. For them, both parties have production lines with a designed output of more than 4,000 units. That is to say, selling them all will get a return of at least 2 billion US dollars, which is very important to them.  It is a very, very cost-effective price. Not only did you not lose any money, but you also made a lot of money.

    Zhang Hao looked at the two of them and asked, "You don't have any objections to this, right?"

    The representatives of both companies expressed that they had no objections. When they came, they had the attitude of signing the contract according to the contract price. Therefore, as long as Zhang Hao did not change his mind, they would not have any objections.

    Zhang Hao then said: "But I need a time commitment. Counting from the second day after signing the contract, within fifteen days, I will see the completed production line in China. If I default for one day, I will deduct 5% of the total contract price.  , as liquidated damages, this must be clearly written into the contract, is there no problem?¡±

    Fifteen days are definitely a challenge for the relocation and reorganization of a production line with a huge weight, volume, and number of equipment, but it is by no means an impossible task, as long as these companies sacrifice part of their profits and hire more workers.  Manpower and all air transportation can be completed within the specified time by spending an extra portion of the logistics cost, and the price given by Zhang Hao?It was already very attractive, and sacrificing this little bit of profit was not a problem for them at all. Therefore, the person in charge of both companies said there was no problem on the spot.

    Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "In that case, we can sign the contract directly. I have made a template of the contract. Please take a look at it. If there is no objection, we will sign the contract on the spot, and then the two of you will  We can start relocating the production line immediately.¡±

    With that said, Zhang Hao took out two English contract templates that had been prepared for a long time from his suitcase. Everything Zhang Hao said before had been written in this contract template. It was very detailed. The two company leaders were  After reading it carefully, he handed the contract to the professional legal staff around him. After the legal staff confirmed that there were no violations or traps in the contract, the two persons in charge said that they could sign the contract on the spot.

    Zhang Haoxin breathed a sigh of relief and signed the acquisition contracts with the two companies in front of the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce. In other words, within fifteen days starting from tomorrow, if nothing unexpected happens, the two companies General Motors and Pratt & Whitney will  All civil aviation engine production lines will be transferred and established within the country. In the past, two of the so-called three giant civil aviation engine companies have completely disappeared in an instant. Among them, there is only one Rolls-Royce left. Zhang Hao is no longer interested.  If they are willing to sell it, they can take it. If they don't sell it, let them continue to hold on. It won't be long before they will completely withdraw from the market.

    Soon, Dongchen Aviation will be the only one left in the global civil aviation engine field, and the global monopoly will officially begin.
