Chapter 64 Breaking Into the "Ask for a Monthly Ticket"

In order to take care of the travel fatigue and jet lag of the exchange students, the next day’s group activities did not start until 10 am local time. The organizer gathered all the exchange students. In addition to visiting some scheduled attractions, It is also necessary to make arrangements for their living in Paris for the next six months.

Fan Wubing left two assistants to negotiate Tong Xiaoyun's issue with the organizer alone, and he went to the Airbus headquarters to do research together with other senior officials, accompanied by people sent by Airbus.

Airbus is jointly owned by the two largest arms supply manufacturers in Europe, EADS and British Aerospace Systems, including companies from Germany, France, Spain and the United Kingdom. It is an aviation consortium. His establishment itself is to deal with the situation of American aircraft dominating the world, and the goal is to surpass Boeing and McDonnell Douglas.

Although Airbus has products that compete with Boeing on other models, it has always been a blank in the market for large long-range civil transport aircraft. Although it has launched the Airbus A340, it still cannot shake the absolute dominance of the Boeing 747. Although Airbus’s large airliner project has already started, Boeing still dominates the large airliner with about 500 seats at present. If they want to occupy this part of the market, they still need to wait until the A380 comes out. Only then has this opportunity.

For now, Airbus is very keen on launching large civil aviation transport aircraft with 500 to 800 seats, intending to snatch the large passenger aircraft market dominated by Boeing. The World Civil Aviation Transport Aircraft Exhibition will continue to expand to a large-scale exhibition, and thus put forward the concept of hub radiation, that is, passengers gather at the hub airport through regional flights, and then transport them to another hub airport by large transport aircraft, and finally take regional airliners to reach their destinations .

Although Airbus personnel knew that Fan's Investment Group intended to purchase their own aircraft. However, they are not very clear about the specific models and quantities. After all, they got the information from the Chinese government. Recently, the two governments are negotiating on the normalization of diplomatic relations. The company places an order of three billion dollars.

This intention makes Airbus very excited. This is not the first time that a Chinese airline has purchased an Airbus aircraft.

Since the Civil Aviation Administration of China introduced the first Airbus aircraft in 1985, China Eastern Airlines should have purchased the most Airbus aircraft. They have ordered 15 Airbus aircraft consecutively, and last year. Northern Airlines has also ordered six a300-600 aircraft.

Although Fan Wubing had seen the scenery of the aircraft production plant on TV before, but this time he was a little shocked when he visited it in person. No wonder such a big guy can be accommodated here, the plant is so big!

According to the person in charge of the reception, they now have about 40,000 employees. Distributed in various factories in four countries,

If a large number of new orders can be obtained this year, thousands of job opportunities can be created.

"This is the gap—" Fan Wubing said to a staff member beside him. "Orders worth billions of dollars are just a few thousand job opportunities, if it is in our country. How many people are needed to complete it?"

Everyone couldn't help shaking their heads. Domestically, it can only be a labor-intensive industry now. There is no competitiveness in these high-tech projects. I want to achieve overall development by introducing second-rate or even third-rate technology from abroad. To improve the domestic technical level. It is really an unreachable thing.

The Frenchman who accompanied them could not understand Chinese. The translation is Fan Wubing's own. Naturally, the topic of this billion-dollar order would not be disclosed to him. Otherwise. I believe that the French who like to be noisy will definitely open champagne in advance to celebrate.

The European side is now going to bind together to form an alliance. To deal with the powerful United States. The Chinese market is the focus of their efforts. After all, look at all countries in the world. Only this part of the market is basically blank. Once the Chinese are used to buying aircraft produced by Airbus. Then the orders will naturally continue to increase.

The way the locals of the French Airbus headquarters treat people is really questionable. In the face of such a large potential customer visit. That is, I sent someone to accompany me to visit. It was just a working meal at noon.

As for the quality of work meals. Fan Wubing felt that. This is probably the reason why Europeans became generally obese. The combination of meals is a bit unreasonable. It feels like using feed to keep workers in captivity.

Everyone has followed Fan Wubing for a long time. Also learned his diao appetite. Therefore, I feel a little uncomfortable with the arrangement of Airbus. Finally back to the hotel. Another lunch was added.

Then Fan Wubing discovered that he encountered another problem, that is, his mobile phone is an analog signal, while the one in Europe is already in a digital mode, and the price is relatively not very high. To make contact, Fan Wubing sent someone out to buy dozens of mobile phones for the staff. During the time he was here, he also needed a communication tool.

"Boss, have you really decided to set up a company branch in France?" Fan Wubing's other foreign executive, the American Dolby, asked somewhat cautiously.

"Well, this is natural." Fan Wubing nodded and said, "Because of the economic downturn in Europe, the real estate market has been very sluggish. For example, the George V Hotel where we stayed is not doing very well right now. What I mean is that while you are staying to implement the absorption of British real estate stocks, you are looking for suitable hotels in France for acquisition. If the situation improves in a few years, this part of the investment can be multiplied several times."

Only then did Dolby understand Fan Wubing's intentions. At first, he thought that Fan Wubing just wanted to buy a few planes, but now it seems that his appetite is as big as ever. If he invests the same two billion dollars in, almost After doubling it a year later, I got back the money I paid for the plane.

What's more, once Fan Wubing decides to invest, the amount will be tens of billions of dollars. Dolby feels that his work in the next few years will be very meaningful.

"Boss, why don't you invest in British real estate? The prices there are lower." An employee asked.

Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "Britain is a country I don't like. The island country has a serious mentality and little development potential. Now it is declining. The British real estate market will only become more depressed. I would rather choose the more core ones on the European continent." France came as a bridgehead into the European market."

"Then why not choose Germany? Germany's economic strength is superior and its development potential is great." Some employees also asked this question.

Fan Wubing laughed and said, "This is a matter of character. The Germans have always been known for their rigorousness. If the German real estate market shows signs of rising, the government will not let it go, so there is not much room for growth. And The political chaos in France is one reason, and their natural enthusiasm, which is easily detonated by any small thing, is the greatest advantage we can use."

In fact, Fan Wubing still has one thing to say, that is, France is suitable for tourism in terms of climate and traditional customs. Therefore, if you enter the hotel industry at the right time, as long as you are not too stupid, you are willing to spend some money on decoration. Above, invite a few more professional hotel management operators, I believe that after a few years, they will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

Of course, Fan Wubing told Dolby that he must choose a famous hotel for acquisition, even if the price is a little higher, do not choose those hotels that are not famous, and the location of the hotel is also very important. It is best to properly acquire the land around the hotel to meet the needs of future expansion.

After dinner, everyone talked about things for a while, and then went back to their rooms.

When Fan Wubing returned to his suite, he suddenly found that the door could not be opened, so he called the hotel waiter.

The waiter swiped his room card twice, but the door didn't open, so he felt a little strange, and mumbled something inside, but Fan Wubing didn't understand it, but the translator in the next room ran out after hearing the news and told Fan Wubing explained, "He said that there seems to be a problem with the electronic management system, and he needs to find a technician to overhaul it."

Fan Wubing suddenly felt a little upset. He was staying in a luxurious suite, and the door could not be opened. If it was changed to an ordinary room, wouldn't the problem be more serious?

It's no wonder that the George V Hotel can't continue to operate, and it has to be sold to the Four Seasons Group. There is a reason for it!

Fan Wubing was slandering here, but he heard a little movement in the room, as if someone was pulling the glass doors and windows. It stands to reason that at this time, it is neither time for cleaning, nor is it possible for anyone to stay in the room, so how could there be such a noise?

So Fan Wubing felt that something was wrong. Could it be that spies or thieves had sneaked into his room? Among the things I brought, although there are no important documents, there are also a lot of cash. If someone steals it like this, doesn't it seem that I am too incompetent?

Immediately, he roared loudly, and his body directly hit the door panel. Under Fan Wubing's impact, the hard walnut door panel shattered like paper, and sawdust splattered all over the floor.

The waiter who rushed over was horrified to see a big hole in the shape of a human being appeared on the hard wooden door, and the gentleman who lived in the luxury suite just crashed into the room like that!
