Lyon himself is a standard profiteer. After he saw that Zhang Wenhao had intentions for Airbus, he began to think about how to get higher returns from Dongchen. After thinking about it carefully, he said: "Dongchen If we want to acquire Airbus at the price you mentioned, we will not be able to transfer all Airbus patented technologies together. If Dongchen wants to retain these intellectual property rights, it must pay the corresponding transfer fees."
Zhang Wenhao frowned, waved his hands dismissively, and said, "No, not even one. You keep them all, and you don't even want to give them to me."
Leon was dumbfounded, what is Dongchen going to do? Acquiring Airbus does not require Airbus¡¯ intellectual property rights. So, what will Dongchen use to build aircraft? There are more than a thousand patented technologies for an aircraft. He doesn't believe that Dongchen has all these key technologies. After all, in Lyon's eyes, Dongchen is a very high-end company that builds engines. However, it is absolutely impossible. It has the manufacturing technology of large passenger aircraft.
¡°However, Zhang Wenhao really doesn¡¯t want his patent.
Zhang Wenhao said calmly: "All Dongchen needs is nothing more than Airbus production lines and hardware. As for your patented technology, I don't want any of it. If you agree to sell it, then sign a letter of intent today, and then I will send someone immediately Go evaluate all the hardware of Airbus. If you are unwilling to sell or want to raise the price, then please come back. It will only take a year or two for Dongchen to build these hardware facilities by himself."
Leon was completely shocked this time. It wasn¡¯t Zhang Wenhao¡¯s attitude and momentum that shocked him. What shocked him was that he heard Zhang Wenhao¡¯s confidence from Zhang Wenhao¡¯s words. In other words, Zhang Wenhao had such confidence, which meant that Dongchen had actually mastered They have no technology to manufacture large passenger aircraft, so they only need Airbus hardware and are not interested in all Airbus technologies. It can also be said that Dongchen's technology will even be much more powerful than Airbus.
It is not difficult to understand why Dongchen suddenly wants to acquire Airbus now. Dongchen never fights or does anything that is uncertain. Since they have decided to acquire Airbus this time, they must have already done so. You are fully prepared!
Under this situation, Lyon no longer has the courage to raise the price. He is afraid that after offending Dongchen, Dongchen will no longer consider acquiring Airbus in anger. If that is the case, he can only choose to let Airbus and Boeing If M&A is realized, then one's own losses must be huge.
It has to be sold after all, and the deciding factor for who sells it is simply who pays more. Leon did not dare to delay and said immediately: "In this case, we are willing to accept Dongchen's suggestion and sign a letter of intent to acquire it first. , and then, after we both evaluate Airbus and reach a consensus, we will formally sign the contract."
Zhang Wenhao nodded with satisfaction. The price he offered was already very high for Airbus. It was so high that Raymond could not afford it. Zhang Wenhao calculated very clearly how much cash flow Raymond could have on hand now. At most, it would be With over a billion dollars and the need to maintain Boeing's operations, he would not have any other trump card besides using some shares to win over Airbus. The most important thing is that Raymond would not be able to give Airbus too much money. With such a high share, after all calculations, Airbus is far less suitable than selling it directly to himself. What's more, what if Raymond kindly gives Airbus 30 shares? Airbus now knows that Dongchen is going to enter the large aircraft manufacturing industry. With Dongchen's consistent style, it will not be long before it is a fatal blow to Boeing. By then, 30% of the shares will be even more worthless.
Therefore, after much deliberation, Lyon decided that it would be safest to sell Airbus as soon as possible at a discount.
Lyon had already signed a letter of intent to acquire Dongchen that day, and Zhang Wenhao did not deliberately ask Airbus to cover up the matter. Therefore, the media had received the news the day after the letter of intent was signed, and made a large-scale report reports.
Dongchen, who is already omnipotent in the eyes of everyone, has made too many moves recently, and they are all big moves. First of all, they have developed their own satellite positioning system, and even the satellites are developed by themselves, and Use the power of the world to focus on launches for Dongchen. Normally, it would take a country at least several years or even more than ten years to fully construct the global positioning system. Dongchen can complete it within a year, or even half a year if it is fast. Yes, this was already a terrifying speed, but Dongchen was not satisfied yet, so they started playing the most sophisticated and high-end industrial manufacturing in the world - aircraft manufacturing.
Apple used to be a very respectable company, but now when compared with Dongchen, it is not even comparable to Dongchen Electronics. Intel is also a respectable company, but it was also completely destroyed by Dongchen. What Chen is currently operating is no longer comparable to any other company, or even to many countries.
Regarding the news that Dongchen is planning to acquire Airbus, the most shocking thing isIt was Raymond. He never expected that the brother company Dongchen, which he most relied on and trusted the most, would become his quasi-competitor overnight. What was going on?
Raymond immediately convened an emergency meeting with the entire top management of Boeing Civil Aviation, and the entire Boeing was immersed in worry and pessimism. At the meeting, everyone's expression was not very optimistic, and Raymond was even more gloomy. Face, stepped into the conference room, looked around everyone, and said: "Dongchen suddenly wants to acquire Airbus. What kind of trick is this?"
The other people below also looked at each other, what's the trick? Everyone looks at me and I look at you, but no one can explain why.
Boeing's chief designer said: "There is only one possibility for Dongchen to acquire Airbus, and that is Dongchen himself is ready to get involved in this industry, but I have some questions that I don't understand. Apart from engines, Dongchen has no background in manufacturing aircraft. With technology accumulation, what do they use to operate Airbus?¡±
Raymond said with a cold face: "This is also a problem that I can't understand. They have never been involved in this industry, and they have never even made a single part. So, what is their purpose of acquiring Airbus now? Could it be that they have acquired Airbus? Are they planning to completely acquire Airbus and Airbus¡¯ intellectual property rights? In that case, it would be nothing more than changing Airbus to another owner. If this is the case, even if Dongchen acquires Airbus, it can only be considered evenly matched with us. "
The chief designer blurted out: "Don't forget the engine! If Dongchen wants to operate in this field, then Dongchen will become our competitor. For us, they will never be like before. Even Dongchen In order to attack us, it is very likely that we will stop supplying Dongchen engines to us. In that case, our previous roles with Airbus will be completely reversed!"
Boeing's marketing director said: "If Dongchen really restricts us in the engine field, then the problems we will face are even more difficult than Airbus's original one, because we now have almost no engines available except Dongchen. Now, both General Motors and Pratt & Whitney have withdrawn from the civilian engine market, and Rolls-Royce is not expected to last more than half a year. What should we do by then? Even if we allow Pratt & Whitney and General Motors to restart the production of civilian engines, it will not make much sense. Yes, because we have lagged behind Dongchen for at least twenty years in terms of engine technology."
At this time, Boeing¡¯s vice president said: ¡°Everyone is too optimistic.¡±
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was shocked. Are you too optimistic? After all this talk, are you still optimistic? So what is pessimism?
At this time, the vice president continued: "If you think about it carefully, from the birth of Dongchen to the present, have they ever used other people's technology?"
Everyone suddenly fell into deep thought. For a long time, no one spoke, but everyone couldn't help but secretly thought: "It seems that this has never happened before. Until now, Dongchen's core technologies are all his own, and they are all world-leading. Even if you use someone else¡¯s, it won¡¯t be technology, but hardware.¡±
Immediately, the vice president said: "I think everyone already has the answer in their hearts. If Dongchen only uses Airbus hardware and Airbus technology, then this completely goes against Dongchen's usual routine. So, I will tell you what everyone thinks. It¡¯s too optimistic, because I personally believe that Dongchen must have higher-end technology than Airbus, which means that once Dongchen acquires Airbus, Dongchen will build a better aircraft than Airbus.¡±
Now even Raymond was shocked, is it really? He couldn't help but ask himself, if this was really the case, Boeing would be dead sooner or later.
Raymond said with a distressed look: "We are even continuing to expand our production capacity. If we really become competitors with Dongchen, a stall as big as ours will probably cause us great trouble."
The vice president shook his head and sighed: "I think Dongchen should have plotted against us a long time ago."
Raymond couldn't help but asked: "How do you say this?"
The vice president said: "Look, Dongchen could have cooperated with us and Airbus before. In this case, it would be equivalent to having a better market for Dongchen Aviation's engines, but Dongchen did not do so. Instead of doing it, you choose to cooperate exclusively with us, why is that?¡±
¡°To squeeze out Airbus!¡± Raymond exclaimed and stood stunned for a long time!
¡°If Zhang Wenhao has been thinking about crushing Airbus from the day Dongchen Aviation built the Dongchen engine, this means that Zhang Wenhao has been targeting Airbus from that moment on!
If this is really the case, then Dongchen has also positioned Boeing as a competitor from the beginning!
Raymond couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Zhang Wenhao is so cruel! He is so cruel! He knew that Dongchen Aviation could not influence Airbus and Boeing, so he used Boeing's hand to achieve it."For the purpose of killing people with a borrowed knife, he first united himself to bring down Airbus, and then created an image of himself as a brother and comrade, making himself extremely trusting of him. In this way, while accelerating his expansion, he secretly Acquiring Airbus, once Airbus is acquired by him and starts production, Boeing will become the next target of Dongchen! "(To be continued.
