Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Vol 2 Chapter 981: unprecedented scale

I had planned to stay in Luton for a few days, but I didn't expect Charlie Shaw to be so efficient. Completely beyond expectations, then the project landing in Luton is logical.

Although there are doubts, the British are still happy to see the Black Cloud Group buying such a large piece of land. In disguise, it proves that Bao Zixuan will invest heavily in the UK, which is definitely a shot in the arm for the weak British economy.

It is normal for the British to doubt, after all, Bao Zixuan's thoughts are not that simple. More than 10,000 mu of land is not for the R&D and manufacturing center of automobile engines, but a large part of it is for aircraft preparation.

After a few days of investigation and gathering memories from previous lives, Bao Zixuan felt that the large aircraft project could be built in the UK. At present, this seems to be the most reasonable choice, and it is estimated that the United States will not be too opposed to it.

The United Kingdom has neither Boeing aircraft, civil aviation industry giants such as Airbus, nor its own independent research and development of advanced fighter aircraft, but its aviation industry strength can definitely rank in the forefront of the world.

The British aviation industry is not as weak as imagined; the aviation industry chain is increasingly globalized, and large aircraft companies do not necessarily have the production capacity of core components, such as Boeing and Airbus. On the contrary, having core components such as engine production capacity is equivalent to having a core competitive advantage. From this point of view, the UK is one of the two major powers in the world's aviation industry. The reason for this is mainly based on the following two points: First, from the overall scale Looking at it, the output value of the British aviation industry accounts for about 13% of the world, ranking second in the world after the United States; secondly, the United Kingdom has the aircraft engine manufacturing capacity second only to the United States.

Over the years, the strength of the British aviation industry has been seriously underestimated. The main reason is that the UK no longer has an independent aviation industry system and is gradually moving away from the position of the center of large aircraft manufacturing. Taking Airbus aircraft as an example, although Airbus is considered to be the joint crystallization of the European aviation industry, its core production capacity is mainly in France and Germany; Airbus has as many as 27 production bases in Germany, including the final assembly base in Hamburg, Wing lift system design and manufacturing center in Bremen, vertical stabilizer manufacturing base in Stade, etc. Airbus has only two factories in the UK (Bristol, Bruton), mainly producing wings and landing gear.

The real strength of the British aviation industry lies not in large aircraft, but in the strong supporting capabilities of the aviation industry. There are too many aviation parts supporting companies in the UK, and their strength is known all over the world.

Martin Baker Company, the world's largest manufacturer of ejection seats, is used in more than 90 countries around the world.

Meggitt, a well-known British aerospace parts and electronic sensor expert. It is also the world's largest manufacturer of aviation brake systems, and its products are widely involved in the fields of brakes, aviation valves, ignition systems, engine testing, and landing gear testing.

GKN, a well-known aerospace structural parts manufacturer, was once the world's largest steel company in the 19th century. Now it ranks first in the world in the field of aircraft structural parts, aviation composite materials, and new alloy powder; it is the outsourcer of Boeing, Airbus, and Lockheed Martin.

With high housing prices in Japan, the land for building an aircraft manufacturing base will definitely be a sky-high price. It is estimated that in addition to Mitsubishi will agree, the United States will definitely not pass.

In the United States, Bao Zixuan is really a little worried. After all, the future development trend will definitely have a bad battle with the Americans. The land area of ​​Xiangjiang is too small, and it is impossible to use such a huge amount of land for the manufacture of aircraft. And parts supply is also a big problem. The production of the Black Cloud C919 passenger aircraft is limited, and the Soviet Union has provided help. But the big plane is a combination of four companies, and the other three companies in Hong Kong will definitely disagree.

As for the Chinese mainland, don't even think about it. The super passenger plane is a very good modification platform, and European and American countries are absolutely reluctant to see the Chinese mainland master the technology of large planes.

Huaxia itself has a weak industrial base, and small aircraft may still be successful. But the super-large airliner does not need to be considered for a short time.

The large aircraft project needs to be negotiated with several other companies. It is more appropriate to first consider the R&D and manufacturing centers of automobile engines.

At this time, the British did not expect that Bao Zixuan's efficiency would be so high. Less than a week after he came to the UK, he not only completed the acquisition of Bentley, but also landed the engine R&D and manufacturing center.

While feeling emotional, also reflecting. It is no wonder that the Black Cloud Group can develop, and it is so fast. For this courage and execution ability alone, no domestic company in the UK can match it. This is the gap, people are almost done, and you are still thinking about whether to do it or not.

In order to show respect for the investment from Heiyun Group, the British side attaches great importance to it. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher arrived in Luton in person to show her support for the project.

Not only Mrs Thatcher, but Mayor Charlie Shaw also brought his wife; the wife who almost drove Earl Robert crazy, Jakarina Shaw. This time is a good opportunity. Although the Black Cloud Group owns a bank, it has not yet set up a branch in the UK.

When you come to the UK to invest, you must have a bank account. Then Halifax Bank is a good choice. Moreover, his wife is not only an alumnus of Bao Zixuan, but also plays an important role in the land transaction process. Although he was helping his husband by securing Earl Robert, Bao Zixuan would still take these things into consideration.

The choice of Halifax Bank is a suitable choice. Of course, Rothschild Bank is a strong opponent, but there is still no big problem to get a piece of the pie.

As for HSBC, although it is the first choice for Hong Kong companies to invest in the UK. However, the relationship between Shen Bi and Bao Zixuan was no secret at all, and it was almost impossible for the two companies to cooperate.

At the signing reception, Bao Zixuan was definitely the focus. Legendary characters bring their own traffic wherever they go.

Zhang Youran still hasn't come over. Recently, he and Princess Diana have had a heated fight. There is actually a feeling of seeing each other late, Bao Zixuan did not force it.

Mrs Thatcher said with a smile: "Brother Bao, how can you be satisfied with Luton's work efficiency?"

In fact, Mrs Thatcher did not expect that Charlie Shaw, the mayor of Luton, had such an ability to get things done in just a few days. It is completely possible to enter the key inspection objects, and the old boy can be regarded as entering the high-level vision.

Bao Zixuan: "This place is very good, not only has a complete industrial supporting system; the most important government work efficiency is very high, far exceeding expectations. At least for the current cooperation, I am satisfied."

Hearing Bao Zixuan's evaluation, Charlie Xiao was very excited. Bao Zixuan is really good at being a man, and it seems that he will have a good relationship in the future. Being able to come and see MacLehose, the British media will no longer doubt the character of the richest man. It is very rare to say this now.

Charlie Xiao introduced his wife to Bao Zixuan, and the three Oxford alumni were still very much talking about.

Moreover, Jakarina did play an important role in this land transaction, neither her ability nor her identity had to be said.

Bao Zixuan: "Sister Jakarina, I heard that you work at Halifax Bank. Black Cloud Group has been cooperating with Rothschild Bank before, but eggs cannot be put in one basket. Heiyun engine research and development, manufacturing The capital transactions of the center are placed in your bank, and I believe that the cooperation between us will be very pleasant."

This is a typical reciprocation. Jiekarina did not expect Bao Zixuan to give face like this. If you don't agree with this, it is estimated that you will not be involved in the bank in the future~www.readwn.com~ In fact, Bao Zixuan wants to dig up Jakarina directly and let her set up the Black Cloud Bank in the UK. Think about it or forget it, the time is not ripe at this stage.

People who come to the UK to invest in industry are welcomed with hands up. But if you enter the financial industry, that is the enemy. The financial control in the UK is very strict, after all, this is one of their few advantageous industries. Before 1992, Black Cloud Bank will not enter the UK for development. After Soros tossed, there will inevitably be variables, which is the best time for Black Cloud Bank to enter the UK.

Jakarina Xiao said with a smile: "Then I will thank my junior. Halifax Bank will definitely provide the best service to customers. As for professionalism, don't worry."

This is a happy scene, at least everyone has something. But Bao Zixuan was not satisfied. Since he came to the UK, he should finish the matter at one time, and do not leave any tails behind.

The super passenger plane has been decided to be produced in the UK, so there are not so many scruples. Quick decision has always been the way of doing things for the richest man in Bao, and it just happened to let the British see the sincerity of the Black Cloud Group.
