It has to be said that Lin Na is very efficient.
She registered the airline on the same day.
And at the first opportunity, she gathered the media and announced to the public that Xinghan Airlines, founded by the Crown Prince, would plan to purchase 50-100 passenger aircraft to develop the aviation industry of the New Han Dynasty.
To get the news out as quickly as possible, she even sent it to international video and news websites like YouTube, aiming to attract the attention of Boeing and Airbus.
United States.
Boeing.
“Mr. President, we just got the news that the New Han Dynasty in Southeast Asia is planning to purchase a batch of passenger aircraft, with a quantity of more than 50.”
“Oh?”
Scott Carson, the then-president of Boeing, asked with interest: “What country is this? Who has the money to buy 50 passenger aircraft at once?”
50 passenger aircraft is no small number, it costs at least three to four billion dollars.
The female assistant quickly told him the information she had found about the New Han Dynasty.
When he heard that the New Han Dynasty was only a country with a population of over 10 million and a GDP of only over 800 million US dollars, Scott Carson clearly frowned.
He clearly didn't think that such a country had the money to buy so many planes.
However, when he heard the assistant say that the New Han Royal Family was rumored to hold shares in companies like Weiran and Google, and was also rated by some magazines as having hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, his face relaxed considerably.
“You just said that the Crown Prince of this country founded an airline and needs to buy 50 passenger aircraft?”
“Yes, sir, that's what we got from the news so far.”
“Okay, although I don't know if they really have the money to buy so many, but since the business has come, don't miss it. Call Albau and ask them to contact the New Han Dynasty side to discuss this matter.”
“Yes~~”
Meanwhile.
After receiving the news, Airbus in Europe had their CEO personally lead the team to Southeast Asia on the same day.
Everyone wanted to grab the order before their competitors.
50, that’s not a small number.
It can be said that this is a rare large order.
Two days later.
When Albau, Vice President of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, came to the meeting room and saw Thomas Enders, CEO of Airbus, he was originally confident that he would be able to get the order, but now he felt uneasy.
He smiled at the other party and nodded, then sat down.
Airbus CEO Thomas Enders was also a little uneasy and nervous.
As competitors against each other, they knew each other's abilities too well.
It's not a problem with the aircraft, but it's the dirty tricks they play behind their backs, putting pressure on small countries to force them to buy Boeing's aircraft.
And it's not just once.
It resulted in deals that had been finalized, just before the contracts were about to be signed, the buyers breached the contract, and Boeing was the mastermind behind it.
So, facing Albau's smile, Thomas Enders' face was cold, he didn't respond, but his heart was filled with worry.
Just as the two sides were glaring at each other.
“Da da da!” Footsteps came, and then everyone saw the door of the meeting room being pushed open, and then a young man with a very handsome appearance walked in, followed by several men in black and a woman.
One of the men in black quickly stepped forward and pulled open the chair in the main seat.
The young man sat down.
Looking at the pair of eyes looking over, Xiao Yun Hai smiled calmly.
“My name is Xiao Yun Hai, I am the boss of Xinghan Airlines. Thank you all for coming.”
“I won’t waste time on formalities. Let me first tell you my requirements, there are only two points: the delivery time must be fast, and the price-performance ratio must be high.”
“Well, the type of aircraft we are purchasing this time is the narrow-body passenger aircraft, which is the Boeing 737 series and the Airbus 320 and 321 series.”
Speaking of which, Xiao Yun Hai waved his hand.
Lin Na behind him took out two pieces of paper and two pens.
Then she put them in front of Albau and Thomas Enders.
Looking at the bewildered expressions of the two, Xiao Yun Hai smiled and said, “I like efficiency. I don't like to waste time on negotiations.”
“There are paper and pens in front of you. You can think about the delivery time and price, and then write down a time and price that you think is appropriate. Each company has only one chance. Okay, you two can start.”
Albau and Thomas Enders were dumbfounded.
They had done a lot of business, but they had never seen such a way of doing business.
He asked them to quote as soon as they arrived.
Isn't this a little too “efficient”?
The two of them complained in their hearts, but they had to cheer up and think about what kind of price they could offer to grab the order from their competitors.
They need to get the order, but they also need to make a profit.
Xiao Yun Hai crossed his legs and sipped the Longjing tea he brought back from Longguo, quietly watching the two guess each other's thoughts.
He asked Lin Na to schedule a meeting between Boeing and Airbus at the same time, the purpose was to let the two sides compete with each other's prices so that he could benefit.
Although the system wants him to spend money.
But he doesn't want to be a sucker.
Time went by, second by second.
Looking at the two who hadn't started writing yet.
Xiao Yun Hai put down the teacup in his hand.
He raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch, then said to Thomas Enders and Albau: “If you don't want to write in front of each other, you can separate. Well, there's a room next door. You can go there to write.”
“But, I remind you, time is limited. I hope that in 10 minutes, you two will be able to write down your quotes.”
Under Xiao Yun Hai's coercion, the two had to pick up their pens and write down a number, a low-profit number.
Taking the papers handed over by both parties.
Boeing's quote had two models.
Boeing 737-900ER, priced at 83 million US dollars.
Boeing 737-800, priced at 75 million US dollars.
These two models are relatively new, with a range of 5800-6000 kilometers and seats between 180-200.
Airbus's quotes are significantly cheaper.
Airbus A320-100, priced at 62 million US dollars
Airbus A321-100, priced at 68 million US dollars
Among them, Airbus A321-100 can accommodate up to 220 people, and its range is similar to that of the Boeing 737-900ER.
First, the Boeing 737-800 was ruled out, the price is expensive, and the range is not as good as the other three models.
The difference between the remaining models is a full 10 million US dollars. Xiao Yun Hai is not stupid, and besides, the fastest delivery time for Boeing is 3 years, even if he cuts in line.
It's too long for him.
Maybe they have too many orders.
Airbus's delivery time is much faster.
With a clear mind, Xiao Yun Hai asked Lin Na to send the people from Boeing away.
Lin Na nodded, knowing that Xiao Yun Hai had made his decision, then she smiled at the Boeing representative: “Mr. Albau, thank you for your support for coming to this meeting. I hope we can cooperate next time.”
“It's getting late, I'll see you off.”
Albau naturally heard the meaning behind Lin Na's words. His face was not good-looking. He snorted coldly, then got up and left with a cold face.
Thomas Enders, sitting opposite, breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Airbus has won.
