Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Vol 2 Chapter 1387: Receiving an order is soft 19

After sending away the ***, Bao's richest man welcomed another important customer. In 1924, the predecessor of British Airways - "Imperial Air" was established, responsible for operating routes to the east of the United Kingdom, and subsequently established many branches, including British Overseas Airways and British European Airways.

In 1974, British Overseas Airways and British European Airways and their associated companies merged to form British Airways; established in April 1974, it is the national airline of the United Kingdom.

In 1976, British Airways introduced the Concorde, the fastest civil airliner in the world at that time; it was one of the two airlines in the world that had a Concorde supersonic passenger aircraft.

It can be said that this is definitely the originator of the world's airlines, although the current strength may not be comparable to the rising stars such as Lufthansa. But when it comes to British companies, one thing has to be acknowledged and that is their long history.

Both world wars, although both started in Europe. But the British mainland, except for the German bombardment in World War II, was not occupied by any country. So that their culture and traditions can be well preserved.

Some long-standing companies have also survived. It is only 80 years since the Wright brothers invented the airplane. But British Airways, which has a history of more than 60 years, shows the beginning of the British aviation industry. Some things have to be admitted, many areas in the UK still have a lot of heritage.

Sir Dawson has been given a reluctant assignment as the current CEO of British Airways. That is from the United Aircraft Corporation, the purchase of super-large passenger aircraft.

As an old man in the British aviation industry, he certainly knew the situation here. United Aircraft Corporation, the name sounds good. But apart from the fact that the factory is in the UK, it can be said that it has nothing to do with the UK at all; at most it can increase employment and tax revenue. No one will doubt the strength of the four companies. But there is not a single British company in it. How about such a company; can it be regarded as a British company?

In fact, what the old man wanted most was to replace the Black Cloud Group; let Rolls-Royce become a shareholder of United Aircraft Corporation. Then for the h3m-111 passenger aircraft, provide aero-engines. Although this idea is beautiful, it is basically impossible to realize. The first joint aircraft manufacturing company was initiated by Heiyun Bao Zixuan. Without him coordinating from it; the company would never have emerged; just take the most important party out now, and the company will naturally become a mess.

Downing Street will definitely not agree, after all, the UK needs a production line of super passenger jets.

At present, most of the shares of British Airways are still in the hands of the government. Downing Street gave him a mission, and he was going to complete it. Only the plan to buy the Boeing 747 can be transferred to the h3m-111 aircraft. And in particular, it must be made in the UK. Perhaps this is the last stubbornness of the British Empire.

The richest man in Bao also thought about acquiring British Airways. After all, the Black Cloud Group does not yet belong to an airline of its own. But the British government will certainly not agree unless he becomes a British citizen. But in that case, the future will definitely be sprayed to death, think about it or forget it.

We can only wait until the return period to see if there are any suitable opportunities in Hong Kong.

When the award was awarded, Bao Zixuan had seen the CEO of British Airways, so he was familiar with both.

Sir Dawson said with a smile: "Hello Sir Bao; long time no see."

Bao's richest man was awarded a lifetime baron by the Queen of England; therefore, there is no problem in calling him that among nobles. This is also following tradition, but Bao Zixuan feels that it is unnecessary. Many people really don't have other titles, so they take the title seriously. Or maybe there is an idea of ​​dying to save face and living to suffer.

But there are too many titles of the richest man, and his wealth is even more amazing; he doesn't care about an aristocratic title. On the contrary, I think that sometimes, the title of British nobility is a burden.

But now the situation in Xiangjiang is like this, it is better than nothing!

Bao Zixuan: "Hello, Sir Dawson; I didn't expect to meet you in France. Welcome to the showroom of United Aircraft Corporation."

The Black Cloud Intelligence Department has long since conducted intelligence collection and investigation on British Airways. Of course, someone who knows the character of this old man deliberately said that the United Aircraft Manufacturing Company of the United Kingdom is also considered to be in his favor. It doesn't matter if the business is big or small. But we must understand the mentality of each customer; in fact, not only customers, but even people who may become customers, also need to be clear.

Valley Spy

Although we know the direction of history, the history of this life has been changed a lot. What the British think specifically is likely to change. Therefore, the Black Cloud Intelligence Department has invested a lot in the UK. Not to mention that it has penetrated into all walks of life, but at least what happened in the UK; Bao's richest man will know faster than other rich people in Hong Kong.

The British are not as easy-going and straightforward as the Americans; they are not as warm and romantic as the French; they are not as warm and unrestrained as the Italians; they are not as considerate as the Chinese. She has a conservative and reserved personality, and has such a pride in her bones. When you communicate with such people, you have to be very careful.

In front of this old man, it may not be realistic for him to do things for you. But there's nothing wrong with destroying your business. This Paris Air Show must make the United Aircraft Manufacturing Company an instant hit. If even British domestic airlines don't buy domestically produced planes; what will other airlines think, and how will the media report it.

British Airways, although not small, is not weak. But compared with the airlines in the Middle East Arab countries, it is not even a star. At least in terms of spending money, it is much weaker than the local tyrants.

The order is more of a symbolic meaning, the quantity and amount really can't be counted on them.

Sure enough, hearing the United Aircraft Corporation; the old man felt a lot more at ease. The boy in front of him is still relatively sensible, knowing that the United Aircraft Manufacturing Company belongs to which country.

One sentence can satisfy Sir Dawson, and the richest man still feels a good deal. After all, this cost is very small, it can even be said that it is almost non-existent.

Sir Dawson: "Sir Bao, this time I came to Paris. The main purpose is to buy passenger aircraft, and British Airways also needs to add new aircraft. After all, the competition in the international aviation market is very fierce. Of course, priority should be given to local companies."

In fact, the richest man Bao hates this kind of self-righteous person. I feel amazing, but I don't really have much ability. Negotiating with such a person is a waste of time.

You can't order many planes by yourself, and the amount is not very high. He also packaged himself as a savior, making people speechless. But if you think about it carefully, this is also a kind of exercise for your own xinxing. If something; too much attention to appearance, then it is easy to suffer.

People can't always be at the high point, there must be ups and downs. Every person in the world is an excellent politician, a successful businessman; it can be said that he is an excellent actor.

In Sima Qian’s Records of History, it is also said that if you are obedient, don’t be overjoyed; go against, don’t be discouraged; be safe, don’t be extravagant; when you’re in danger, don’t be afraid; Just treat it as an exercise, and the right to coax the old man to play.

Bao Zixuan: "Actually, we should talk about things at the Farnborough Air Show in the UK, the Air Show of the British Empire; but it is not worse than here. And where is our home, it is convenient to do everything."

In fact, all over the world, the Paris Air Show is considered to be larger and more influential than the British Air Show. But the British, especially the old British aristocrats, still deeply disapprove of it. Although the United Kingdom does not belong to the European continent, they are not less involved in the affairs of the European continent.

When France was strong, they united with other countries and besieged France. As a result, Napoleon was defeated and captured, and finally died in a foreign land. When the Germans were strong, they united with other European countries to fight against Germany; both world wars were like this.

But now that the Soviet Union is strong, Britain's own national strength is very weak. Only the United States can take the lead and help fight polar bears together. But in their hearts they always believed that the most powerful country in Europe was the United Kingdom.

In some areas, they have been surpassed by France and Germany. But the arrogance in their bones makes them not want to admit it at all. As an aviation practitioner, Sir Dawson has always believed that the British Airshow should be the first in the world.

It can be said that Bao Zixuan did what he liked, and the old man was very comfortable listening to it. It is said that this kid is sometimes unreasonable and arrogant; doesn't he seem like a director today!

It was with this idea that the two sides quickly reached an agreement. Bao's richest man even coaxed and swindled, and he just asked Sir Dawson, the CEO of British Airways, to order 4 h3m-111 passenger planes. Such a small order is even more tiring than negotiating with Emirates.

But as long as there are results, it's good, and it also exercises the xinxing; it can be regarded as the best of both worlds!
