Dongchen's positioning satellites are multiple satellites superimposed to meet sufficient accuracy and coverage area. When all satellites are launched into the set orbit, these satellites will complement each other to achieve positioning services with an accuracy of about one centimeter. When one satellite is in the sky, it can also provide It is not enough to meet basic positioning services. In the next few days, after five to six satellites are launched domestically, they will basically be able to cover most of the Asia-Pacific region.
Zhang Wenhao only witnessed the launch of the first satellite. When the first satellite was successfully launched, he immediately prepared to leave for Australia to meet with the executives of Airbus and European Aerospace Defense. In fact, to put it bluntly, he wanted to meet with European Aeronautics and defense companies are conducting secret acquisition negotiations because they are the real shareholders and owners of Airbus.
For Airbus, they did not expect that Dongchen would come out to intervene at this time. Originally, in Airbus's view, it was no longer possible to turn the tide, and only Boeing could make up for their mess. Therefore, they have been waiting for the merger with Boeing to start. When Dongchen entrusted diplomats to contact them, they were shocked for a long time and did not understand what Dongchen was playing this time.
In the eyes of Airbus, Dongchen is currently only involved in engines in the aviation field. However, the gap between engines and aircraft is too big, just like the gap between carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carriers, and Dongchen has never revealed any relevant information. The ability and intention of aircraft manufacturing, therefore, Airbus will not be confused for a while.
However, Airbus does not have the time or energy to consider so many unclear issues. For them, their biggest wish now is to sell all Airbus as soon as possible, or to merge with Boeing and then exchange for a certain share of shares. It can be regarded as recovering part of the loss, or it can only dismantle all the production lines and dispose of them as scrap. In that case, the loss will be almost endless.
But Dongchen is one of the few rich men in the world. He is rich, and not just ordinary rich. Although Airbus can't figure out Dongchen's intentions, Dongchen's attitude is very clear. It¡¯s just that Dongchen is interested in Airbus.
Since Dongchen is interesting, Airbus doesn¡¯t mind meeting and talking with Zhang Wenhao. If the price offered by Dongchen is more suitable, then Airbus will naturally sell Airbus to Dongchen without hesitation.
Three days later, Zhang Wenhao appeared in Queensland, Australia. This time, he did not fly on his BBJ2, which is famous in the global civil aviation system. Instead, he asked Dongchen to rent a relatively low-key business jet from China Southern Airlines, and then took it with him. Several senior executives from Dongchen came to Australia.
As soon as he arrived in Queensland, Zhang Wenhao immediately went to the property Dongchen purchased in Queensland, where he was waiting for relevant personnel from the European Aeronautical Defense and Space Corporation. The meeting was agreed to be at noon the day after tomorrow, and the people from the European Aeronautical Defense and Space Corporation had already set off and were flying. On the plane to Queensland.
What Zhang Wenhao is planning this time is a big move that will shock the world again. If Dongchen really acquires Airbus, then once the contract is finalized, the whole world will know that Dongchen¡¯s next industrial goal is aircraft manufacturing. Moreover, by that time, I will gradually distance myself from Boeing. It can be said that Zhang Wenhao's previous ambitions will be exposed the next second he acquires Airbus.
His strategic partnership with Boeing and his close cooperation with Boeing for such a long time. Those who don¡¯t know may think that Zhang Wenhao really has a good cooperative relationship with Boeing. However, Zhang Wenhao is just using Boeing to bring down Airbus. In the meantime, let Boeing dig its own grave.
Now, Boeing has spent more than 20 billion US dollars to build new production lines and expand its production capacity in order to dominate the civil aircraft market. However, once Dongchen becomes his competitor, then such a large company will A stall will only accelerate Boeing's demise.
At that time, Raymond will definitely wake up from his dream and will know that Zhang Wenhao's overall plan is actually just to accelerate the death of Boeing. Once Zhang Wenhao uses Airbus's plate to start manufacturing and selling Dongchen's own civilian aircraft, then, The end of Boeing is coming.
First of all, Dongchen never lags behind others in anything he does, and he leaves others far behind. In this way, Boeing will definitely lose its competitiveness in front of Dongchen. Secondly, Boeing now fully relies on Dongchen to supply engines. The civil engine production lines of Pratt & Whitney and General Motors have all been acquired by Dongchen. Rolls-Royce, like Airbus, is on the verge of bankruptcy. If Dongchen stops providing engines to Boeing, Boeing will face an endless crisis. Even Rolls-Royce could not save him from the embarrassing situation of the engine being available, because Rolls-Royce's engine had completely lost its advantage in front of Dongchen engine.
But Zhang Wenhao didn¡¯t mind this at all. Once he successfully acquired Airbus, it wouldn¡¯t hurt to fall out with Boeing. At that time, Boeing was not interested in Zhang Wenhao.For Wen Hao, it has also lost its use value.
The next day, six representatives of EADS met with Zhang Wenhao. Among them, there was even Lyon, the CEO of EADS. Lyon had already hated Zhang Wenhao to the bone. Ever since Zhang Wenhao refused to provide Airbus with On the day when the engine started, Leon cursed Zhang Wenhao and Dongchen in his heart every day. Although Leon has not forgiven Zhang Wenhao until now, he knew in his heart that he came to Zhang Wenhao this time to seek money, not revenge. His attitude should be let go. What is low should be lowered.
Leon shook hands with Zhang Wenhao very politely, and said in an admiring tone: "Mr. Zhang, I have admired your name for a long time, and today I finally have the opportunity to meet you."
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said to Lyon and his group of six people: "Everyone, sit down. Time is limited. Let's get to the point as soon as possible."
The French are not used to this kind of fast pace, but they do as the Romans do. In front of Zhang Wenhao, Lyon knew that he could not take any initiative, so he could only take his five subordinates to sit down.
As soon as Lyon and others sat down, Zhang Wenhao said: "I heard that the European Aeronautical Defense and Space Corporation is recently interested in merging Airbus into Boeing in exchange for a certain equity stake in Boeing after merging with Airbus?"
Lyon nodded. The whole world knew about this, and he had no need to deny it. He said: "Airbus's current operations are already very bleak. If it continues like this, even the European Aeronautical Defense and Space Corporation will be unable to bear the losses. Therefore, we The reason why we decided to sacrifice our business in the field of civil aircraft and cooperate with Boeing is to minimize the losses as much as possible."
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said, "I know, but have you ever calculated how many shares you can get from Boeing?"
Lyon said: "If we take Boeing Civil Aircraft Company as an example, Airbus's current market value is about 15% of theirs. If it is merged, it will not be a problem to occupy about 10% of the shares of Boeing Civilian Aircraft Company after the merger."
"10?" Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "What's the point? Besides, based on my understanding of Raymond, it is impossible for him to use Airbus's current market value as a criterion to acquire Airbus. He will take advantage of this opportunity. It is not Raymond's style to cut off a piece of meat from you and acquire more than 6 points of shares. After all, if you deal with Airbus on your own now, you may not be able to get back even half of the 6 points. "
Lyon said awkwardly: "Raymond will definitely add insult to injury. We are also very aware of this. However, our idea now is to sell Airbus as soon as possible. After all, the daily operation and maintenance costs are an astronomical figure. This money is almost pure in loss."
Zhang Wenhao smiled and said: "Sell Airbus to me, I want 100% of Airbus' equity."
Lyon was shocked. His guess was indeed correct. Dongchen must be ready to enter the field of civil aircraft. Otherwise, they would never propose to acquire Airbus.
At this time, Zhang Wenhao said again: "I can purchase Airbus at three times the current market value."
The current market value of Airbus has dropped very sharply, to about one-fifth of its previous value. However, Zhang Wenhao is willing to pay three times the price, which is equivalent to 60% of the previous market value of Airbus in normal times. This price can be said to be It is very high. After all, Airbus is currently suffering from very serious losses, and it is very difficult to sell out in such a huge and cutting-edge industry.
Lyon is also thinking in his mind. If he rejects Zhang Wenhao and chooses to merge with Boeing, then in the end, maybe as Zhang Wenhao said, the entire Airbus will be merged in, and in the end he will not even get the shares of Boeing 6. That way If so, Airbus will really suffer a big loss.
Seeing that Lyon was already interested, Zhang Wenhao struck while the iron was hot: "If Airbus agrees to the conditions given by Dongchen, then Dongchen can guarantee that we will take over Airbus as soon as possible and pay the acquisition price as soon as possible. In other words, as long as Once the contract is signed, Airbus will be able to get back 60% of its normal market value, and there will be no need to continue to invest endlessly in Airbus.¡±
Leon couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°Is this true?¡±
"Inevitable." Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "Even if you search all over the world, you will never find a buyer as generous as me. This is much more cost-effective than asking Raymond to acquire Airbus."
Lyon was also extremely excited. He thought that no one would be willing to buy Airbus except Boeing. Therefore, if Boeing deliberately lowered the price, he would have no choice. However, now Zhang Wenhao has clearly revealed his intention for Airbus, and The price offered was nearly double Lyon's psychological price. Wouldn't it be foolish not to agree to such a good condition? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
