Chapter six hundred and sixty sixth

In the VIP waiting room at Jincheng Railway Station, Jiang Yinglei and others sat in the corner, waiting for the arrival of the intercity train.?[{{net

"Mr. Jiang, what did Mr. Fang say?" Mrs. Beitang, dressed in a dress, twisted the corner of her clothes and asked Jiang Yinglei for the first time. Fang Mingyuan actually took the initiative to contact them and asked them to meet and have a formal conversation. This was beyond the expectations of those of them.

"He said he wanted to meet us and talk about the three cities high-speed railways. He didn't mention anything else, and I don't know more than you." Jiang Yinglei replied patiently. He felt that before Fang Mingyuan showed up, they had already made them suspicious. Because he was the only one who received the call, the others seemed to have some doubts that Jiang Yinglei did not tell the entire content of the phone. Jiang Yinglei was a little annoyed by this. But Jiang Yinglei was able to control his mood, because

For him, if someone else received this call, he would inevitably wonder whether Fang Mingyuan would have talked about other things on the phone. After all, the news was a bit beyond their expectations. They originally thought it would be Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company, or a certain assistant of Fang Mingyuan came to talk about these things with them. It was like a slightly larger contract between Microsoft and the Chinese government, but Bill came in person. Fang Mingyuan's personal arrival made them a little confused.

"I really didn't expect that he would come forward to talk to us in person." Dong Gaozhi said with a wry smile, "I'm really flattered." Although they are all social elites and members of the upper class, there is still a considerable gap compared to Fang Mingyuan.

"I think everyone may have thought too much. That person may have something to do when he comes to Tianjin. Let's talk to us. Don't forget, let's not talk about anything else, Deguang Electronics Group and Motorola have cooperative projects in the Qingxi Economic Development Zone of Tianjin, and Airbus and Qinxi Aircraft Manufacturing Group also have aircraft assembly lines here." Gong Xiuyi said lightly, "I haven't met yet. You are all under great pressure. How can you negotiate after meeting?"

"Of course, General Manager Jiang and General Manager Changqiu are responsible for the negotiations." Mrs. Beitang said, "I am just a listener." While speaking, a radio rang in the VIP room. The intercity train from Beijing to Tianjin will arrive in another five minutes.

The doors on both sides of the VIP room were pushed open at the same time, and two groups of people walked in. Jiang Yinglei noticed that there were golden and blue-eyed foreigners among the two groups. "Huh?" Dong Gaozhi next to him suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Noting the strange gazes of his companions, Dong Gaozhi explained softly: "I know that foreigner. He is Thomas Sengde, the foreign general manager of Airbus Jincheng Assembly Factory. However... you can see where he is standing, which means that the two foreigners should be higher than his identities." Dong Gaozhi said, while quietly pointing with his fingers. Everyone looked in the direction of his fingers... Anyway, they didn't know each other.

"Ah! I remembered it, are you watching today's morning report?" Gong Xiuyi closed her mouth and shouted softly, "The Tianjin City Government, Qinxi Aircraft Manufacturing Group Corporation and Airbus Corporation jointly invested and built the Tianjin City Assembly Line has been completed and a grand commissioning ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow. Many leaders of our country and Eric Merkel, the president and CEO of Airbus, will attend the ceremony. That person seems to be Eric Merkel, the president and CEO of Airbus Corporation!"

Eric Mekle and his group also noticed another group that came in at the same time as them. Send came to the front and whispered: "President, there are people I know about the group opposite. Arnold Wilkens, the foreign director of the Qingxi Chip Factory jointly invested by Motorola in the Tianjin Qingxi Economic Development Zone and Deguang Electronics Group. They are not here to pick up the party, right?"

"Huh?" Merkel raised his eyebrows slightly. This time he came to attend the production ceremony of the Tianjin assembly line of the A32o series aircraft of the A32o series of aircraft of the Sky, and also to continue to strengthen cooperation with Fang Mingyuan on air transportation and manufacturing. Fang Mingyuan was in Beijing at this time and could meet in advance.

Merkel is also responsible for important tasks when he comes to China this time. Although Airbus' performance in the first three quarters, whether it is the increase in orders or the delivery of passenger aircraft, is satisfactory. Industry insiders have predicted that in 2008, Airbus will surpass its old rival Boeing in these two key data. Logically speaking, this is an exciting thing, but another news makes Merkel unable to be happy at all.

Just four days ago, authoritative figures in the field of aviation finance secretly released a report, and 77% of them believed that the turmoil in the global financial system caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States not only showed no sign of quelling, but also showed signs of moving from the financial field to the real economy. There is a great possibility of a global economic crisis in 2009! Once a global economic crisis occurs, the impact on the air transportation industry and aviation manufacturing industry will be quite astonishing!

Merkel himself also agrees with this conclusion, and he also believes that the current global economic outlook is not optimistic. Once the economic crisis breaks, both Airbus and Boeing will face many problems such as shrinking orders and users may delay the delivery time of the plane. This will have serious consequences for the production of the two major companies.

According to Airbus' own forecast, in 2009, the total value of passenger aircraft delivered by the two major companies will reach about 70 billion US dollars. If an economic crisis occurs, financing in the global financial market will be quite difficult. Now, about 37% of the passenger aircraft sold by the two major companies are purchased by major aircraft leasing companies, or they help air transport companies to raise funds. Due to the subprime mortgage crisis, major banks have become more cautious about issuing loans. Without bank loans, whether it is an aircraft leasing company or an air transport company, their own funds are not enough to complete all orders. There is an estimated gap of 20 billion to 245 billion US dollars! Whoever can earn more customers and more financial support will determine which Airbus and Boeing will be the winner next year!

China Xia air transportation market is not only the most powerful market potential and the two major companies are competing for the most fiercely. Among the two air transportation companies in China, state-owned airlines occupy the largest market share, and the Chinese government has the strongest foreign exchange reserves in the world. When the economic crisis storms, these Chinese airlines can continue to raise huge amounts of funds to purchase passenger planes!

Moreover, Airbus also needs China's aviation manufacturing companies to produce more spare parts for it, thereby reducing its production costs. In China's aviation manufacturing industry, Qinxi Aircraft Manufacturing Group is undoubtedly the most powerful one among them.

Of course, Merkel also hopes to raise more funds in the international financial market to support Airbus' performance next year. Fang Mingyuan has shares in many financial institutions including the Second Gulf Bank, Jimin Bank, Bank of Communications, China Merchants Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., and his vision is also recognized by the world. Many financial institutions still owe Fang Mingyuan huge favors in the Madolph scam. If Fang Mingyuan can get strong support, this is a help that cannot be ignored for Airbus.

So, when he learned that Fang Mingyuan was coming to Tianjin City, he immediately decided to come to the train station in person to welcome Fang Mingyuan's arrival. Chinese people are always very good at face. Even if Fang Mingyuan doesn't seem to be very concerned about this, there is no bad thing to have more favorable feelings before the negotiations. Merkel believes that Boeing will definitely think of things that he can think of, maybe Boeing's people are on the way to China.

Although Qinxi Aircraft Manufacturing Group will eventually show the production of large passenger aircraft in the future, the troubles will naturally be that the future president of Airbus will worry about it. As long as he manages his affairs during his term, ensures Airbus' profits, and ensures his position, as for what he does not care about if the flood is over after he retreats, what does it have to do with him? Moreover, what does Boeing refuse to sell it to him that things Fang Mingyuan cannot get from Airbus may not have refused to sell them to him. At that time, the company will not suffer greater losses.

However...Arno Wilkens, the foreign director of Qingxi Chip Factory, wasn't it just to pick up Fang Mingyuan? But it seems that among these people, the white middle-aged woman who was between four and five years old was respected.

At this time, the people from Qingxi Chip Factory also noticed Merkel and his group. The white middle-aged woman's eyes turned around and fell on Merkel's face, showing a look of surprise. Then she walked over and smiled and said, "You are Mr. Eric Merkel, the president and CEO of Airbus. Hello, I am Canilote Buek, the head of Motorola's China District."

"I'm glad to know you, Ms. Buek," Merkel said with a smile. "How many are you going to take the train?"

At this time, another report came from the radio that the intercity train from Beijing to Tianjin was about to arrive at the platform. Buek chuckled and said, "No, we are just here to pick up people."

"That's a coincidence. We're here to pick people up," Merkel smiled. "I don't know what kind of person can let Ms. Buek go to the platform to greet her in person. Sorry, my guests should get off the bus soon."

"It's really a coincidence. I'm also curious, what kind of person can afford to welcome Mr. Eric Merkel, the president and CEO of Airbus. It shouldn't be a big leader in this country, right?"

When Fang Mingyuan and his group walked out of the car, they saw three groups of people surrounding the door in a semicircular shape.

"Oh, my dear Fang, I'm glad we're meeting again!" Merkel walked forward first, spreading his hands and said enthusiastically.

"Eric, I'm glad to see you without going to Europe." Fang Mingyuan hugged him with a smile.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Welf? Are you coming to Tianjin City to play?" Merkel then noticed that Angelina was following Fang Mingyuan and asked with a smile. He knew Old Welf, and he was naturally familiar with Angelina, whom he loved the most.

"Mr. Merkel, I am Fang's assistant now." Angelina bowed slightly and smiled.

"Oh...then congratulations. You will definitely learn a lot by your side." Merkel smiled, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to Fang Mingyuan in his heart. Angelina is the little princess of the Welf family, and is highly valued by the Welf clan leader. It is said that she has always been responsible for the affairs of the Welf family in China, and she will quietly become Fang Mingyuan's assistant. Does this mean that the cooperative relationship between the Welf family and Fang Mingyuan is further closer?

"Thank you, I think so too." Angelina chuckled, "In the future, I will definitely have to deal with President Merkel, so I would like to ask President Merkel for more advice."

Jiang Yinglei and Buek looked at each other in front of each other. They didn't expect that a beautiful white female assistant beside Fang Mingyuan could even talk to Mekle in such a formal occasion. And when Mekle's words were heard, the two knew Miss Welf? This female assistant's surname was Welf?

Fang Mingyuan turned his gaze to Buek, Buek hurriedly walked over with a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Fang, I am Kanirot Buek, the head of Motorola's Huaxia District."

"I'm glad to know you, Ms. Buek. Thank you for coming to the station to greet me." Fang Mingyuan reached out and shook her, "Let me introduce it. This is my assistant, Angelina Welf. The relevant person in charge of Deguang Electronics Group will arrive in Tianjin tomorrow. At that time, the progress of the negotiation will be told by Miss Welf. I hope that our cooperation this time can achieve a win-win result that satisfies both of us."

"Thank you, Motorola also hopes to continue to strengthen cooperation with Mr. Fang in all aspects." Buek smiled, "If Welf can, we hope that the negotiators of Deguang Electronics Group will start negotiations tomorrow after arriving in Tianjin."

"Of course!" Angelina chuckled, "If so, I hope the sooner the negotiation, the better..."

Jiang Yinglei and his friends had a reasonable English proficiency. They roughly translated the conversation between Fang Mingyuan and Bueke and Merkel to others. Everyone was surprised. Motorola and Airbus were both world-renowned large enterprises and were definitely the existence that Tianzechang Group needed to look up to. However, looking at the conversation between them, Bueke and Merkel had both polite and respectful attitudes to Fang Mingyuan, which was completely different from those foreigners who were often arrogant in their impression.

Fang Mingyuan, Merkel and Buek said a few more words, then turned his eyes to Jiang Yinglei and his group. Jiang Yinglei took a deep breath in secret. At this time, he felt a lot of pressure! Although Fang Mingyuan did not make any big moves and did not give them any expression, he just felt the invisible pressure on his shoulders, as if it were the substance. At this moment, he regretted it. He should notify the family and let his father's generation come forward to negotiate with Fang Mingyuan.

"Mr. Jiang Yinglei, I am Fang Mingyuan, I met for the first time." Fang Mingyuan stretched out his hand and said.

Jiang Yinglei quickly stretched out his hands and held them up and smiled, "Young Master Fang is a famous person in the circle, but unfortunately he has never had the chance to meet." He didn't have to look at the expressions of his companions, and he knew that his voice was dry as if he hadn't drunk water for a long time.

"Yes, I've met your cousin Jiang Yingxue several times. I hope Mr. Jiang won't have any bad impressions of me because of her." Fang Mingyuan smiled, "Will Mr. Jiang introduce your friends to me?"

"Ah?" Jiang Yinglei was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized, "Mr. Fang, let me introduce this person, this person is Donggaozhi..."

Fang Mingyuan and Jiang Yinglei and others shook hands and greeted each other one by one, and then said: "Mr. Jiang, thank you very much for giving face. Tomorrow at noon, I will hold a banquet at the Fang Family Restaurant in Tianjin. Please give me a look."

Jiang Yinglei and others naturally nodded repeatedly. They also understood that with Merkel and Buek here, Fang Mingyuan must meet them first before they could get their turn to Tianzechang Investment Co., Ltd. Jiang Yinglei was also secretly happy. With nearly a day, he could ask the chairman of Tianzechang Group, his uncle Jiang Ziyuan Xun, to come over and negotiate with Fang Mingyuan on behalf of Tianzechang Investment Co., Ltd. The psychological pressure Fang Mingyuan gave him was too great. He was worried that he might lose ground on his negotiations with the other party and harm his interests.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yinglei was suddenly shocked. You should know that he is also a proud person. After withdrawing from the system to join Tianzechang Group, he has made great achievements in business. Tianzechang Group has made great contributions to the current status. He is the chairman of Tianzechang Investment Co., Ltd., as the director and vice president of Tianzechang Group. Now his status in society has reached its peak and is still rising. How could he feel afraid of difficulties just by seeing Fang Mingyuan?

Fang Mingyuan's eyes swept over Jiang Yingxue and others, and said with a smile: "I know what you are worried about. Here, I give you four words 'With mutual benefit' to calm your heart!" (To be continued.)8
