Chapter 1606 Alitalia
"Why? Afraid that Pierre will find out about this and trouble you?"
"What you said is as if he can do anything to me. Others don't know, and you don't know that the so-called royal family is far less powerful than before. If Pierre is the first heir, Then I'll be a little bit more apprehensive."
"So, what are you afraid of?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, I just don't like trouble."
Beatrice smiled, dragged her cheeks and looked at the lake reflecting the stars, and said softly, "Whatever you say, don't worry, I didn't drink too much, and I won't do irrational things~"
Yang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, this test has finally passed.
"Find a chance for me to be your fiancée~"
Yang Cheng's heart tightened, "What do you mean?"
The corners of Beatrice's mouth opened into a perfect arc, "Don't be nervous, I'm not stupid, deliberately disturbing your marriage will not do me any good, after all, I still beg you to cooperate with us."
"Well, if there is a chance, I will introduce you. She has a very good relationship with Kate, and maybe you will become good friends."
"Kate? William's?"
"Yes, Duchess of Cambridge~"
Beatrice patted her smoky little face, "Yes, I almost forgot, you and William are very close."
At this time, a few customers came down the stairs. They seemed to be locals from Milan, wearing formal suits and glasses. It was not difficult to see their self-confidence from their confident steps, and they seemed to be local successful people.
Without much hesitation, they chose to sit behind Beatrice and called the bartender to serve them.
Before the wine was served, they started chatting, the voices were not low, it was difficult for Yang Cheng and the others not to eavesdrop.
One of the red noses said, "Have you heard? Alitalia is going bankrupt~"
The fat man with a teddy head sitting opposite him said, "If Etihad Airways hadn't bought 49% of the shares back then, I probably wouldn't have heard of this name."
The man next to him seems to have a higher status, and he always put on airs from the moment he came in to when he sat down, "Look at ZF's plans, now the National Railway Company holds the bulk, about 35%, and the rest is in the hands of ZF, listen Said that ZF is already in contact with buyers."
Red Nose sneered, "Who would buy it? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not buy Alitalia at this time. Look at the European airlines that have closed down in the past few years. Now is the era of big companies, without the help of big companies , Alitalia can't play at all.
Now the skies of the world are dominated by Americans. American Airlines and Delta Air Lines are in a tight fight. Europe is also dominated by British Airways. The UAE has ambitions to join the battle. Unfortunately, they only have money, and some things are money. Can't buy it. "
Fatty Teddy agreed, "That's right, the route resources are all in the hands of big companies. If you don't cooperate with them, you will have a dead end. It's a pity that big companies still look down on Alitalia."
Red Nose nodded at the table, "I heard rumors that Lufthansa intends to acquire about 20% of the shares, but I don't know if it's true or not."
The fat man with a Teddy roll was full of disbelief, "Impossible, the Germans are so smart, how could they fall into this pit, don't forget those people from the Italian ZF, they probably would rather go bankrupt than sell their shares at a low price, and they have to pay for The employees of the airline consider that once Lufthansa takes over, layoffs are certain, will the government just watch a large number of unemployed people enter the society?"
. . . . . .
They chatted excitedly about Alitalia. At first, Yang Cheng was not interested in listening, but Beatrice kept winking at herself. At first, she didn't realize it. After listening for a long time, she realized that Beatrice I have something to say, but it's not convenient here.
Simply, the two went back to the room, and just worried about getting drunk, they opened a spare room, but they didn't expect to use it now.
Ask the waiter to help pack a few snacks and deliver them to the room with a few bottles of new wine.
"What's wrong?" Yang Cheng came to the sofa in front of the window,
A noble concubine came directly to the bed.
On the contrary, it was Beatrice who was busy, opened the snack box, opened the bottle of wine, sat down after busy work, and patted Yang Cheng's leg naturally, "Move my position. "
Handed Yang Cheng a glass of wine, sat on the other side in the same posture as him, and asked, "Did you hear what those three people said just now?"
Yang Cheng nodded, "I don't know much about Alitalia, but I have heard about their plight, what a pity~"
There was no sincerity in the regret, at least Beatrice heard no regret in it.
He kicked him angrily, "Seriously, Alitalia was founded in 1946 and is headquartered in Rome.
The parent company is Alitalia Group, which was also the largest airline in Italy at that time. It can be regarded as the national airline of Italy. Naturally, ZF is its largest shareholder. In 2001, Alitalia became a member of the SkyTeam Alliance and was listed on the Milan Stock Exchange in the same year. . "
Yang Cheng listened patiently, occasionally took a sip of wine, ate a piece of French fries, and interrupted from time to time to ask, "Does your family have shares?"
Beatrice was not dissatisfied because of Yang Cheng's interruption, and replied truthfully, "No, but we have shares in the National Railway Company, which is equivalent to indirect holding."
Yang Cheng nodded slightly to signal her to continue.
"Alitalia, which has a history of more than 70 years, has a rough life. It declared bankruptcy in 2008. However, due to the voice of the public and other reasons, the Italian government's financial department could only barely support it. It sold its shares to the national railway company and the UAE. Tihad Airways, especially with the money injected by the Emiratis, has survived until now, but unfortunately the situation has not improved."
The more Yang Cheng heard the more something was wrong, she sat up abruptly, "You don't want me to take over, do you? Are you crazy?"
This voice startled the princess, "Can you listen to me?"
Yang Cheng took a sip of his wine, shook his head and said, "You're not from Alitalia, let alone working for ZF, why bother with this?"
"Listen to me? OK?" Beatrice said shyly.
"OK, you say~"
“Listen, if Delta can come forward, Alitalia will have more American routes and gain a presence in the European and American transcontinental market, and Delta can use Alitalia’s European network to further expand the European market.
As one of the most profitable airlines in the world, Delta Air Lines takes a small part of its profits to win a national airline with a large share, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. "
Yang Cheng waved his hand, "Not to mention whether I would like to put the acquisition proposal on Delta Air Lines' board of directors, even if we are willing to acquire, we must at least guarantee a few points. The Italian government must fully release the management, and I allow them to retain certain Shares are used as dividends, and a seat on the board of directors for supervision, but it is never allowed to intervene in the company's operations;
Furthermore, regarding the purchase price, it must be kept low, and it is impossible to purchase according to the market price.
Not to mention too much, just these two points, do you think Alitalia can do it?
Yes, let's talk about other issues, such as whether it is worth buying;
No, it's out of the question. "
His attitude is extremely tough. This is not a child's play, but an acquisition involving hundreds of millions of euros.
Beatrice was not in a hurry, "Okay, let's not talk about the benefits to Delta Airlines, let's talk about you, don't you think this is a good basis for cooperation?"
"What do you mean?" Yang Cheng really didn't understand.
"Use the Borromeo family to bring Delta Air Lines and ZF to sit down and negotiate. Of course, we will stand by your side and help you get as much benefit as possible, even if it is the shares of the Italian National Railway Company. Negotiable, this is our sincerity to show you."
"Even if I agree to the negotiation, what benefits can you get?"
"Our family came forward to find someone to solve the big trouble for ZF. This is a great benefit. ZF will not treat the family badly."
Yang Cheng didn't know if it was Beatrice's impromptu idea, or if she had planned it long ago. He was vacillating in his mind. There was a side of being persuaded by the other party, and a side of resistance. The two villains were fighting crazily in their hearts. Win or lose.
"And you will also gain the goodwill of the Italian government. If you have the idea of increasing investment in Italy in the future, this is very important!"
