Chapter 78 The Dust Settled
After Tong Xiaoyun followed the group activities for about ten days, she finally calmed down. (Provide the latest chapters to read>
At this time, Fan Wubing's subordinates had already arranged a place to stay, Tong Xiaoyun's female companions from Shanghai were already familiar with each other, and several other girls, a total of a dozen or so people, followed her chatteringly. Come and see their new residence in France.
This is also more in line with Fan Wubing's wishes. Tong Xiaoyun is alone in Paris, he is not at ease, and the female bodyguard he arranged for him can at most play a role in safety issues, and he wants to take good care of her. She still needs to find another way, so he is in favor of girls who are also from China living together to help each other.
Besides, the living conditions that Fan Wubing arranged for them are quite good, it can be described as a mansion.
The most important point is that a dedicated nanny is responsible for meals and daily affairs, which saves a lot of worry.
Fan Wubing has learned from the embassy that the exchange students selected here are of high quality, excellent in all aspects, and cover a wide range of majors, so he has put some thought into it and hopes to end up here. Thanks to good luck, if some of these people will come to work in their own company in the future, it will be considered that their hard work will not be in vain.
Tong Xiaoyun did not expect that Fan Wubing would put so much thought into it. She only thought that Fan Wubing had imagined for herself so thoughtfully, and she was really touched. But in fact, if it wasn't for Tong Xiaoyun, Fan Wubing would not have Such a big thought to arrange these trivial details. ****
Seeing that the business delegation has been here for a long time, most of the things to be discussed have come to fruition. In a few days, after the purchase plan with Airbus is finalized, Fan Wubing will return to China. At that time, Tong Xiaoyun felt that time passed too fast, and she spent almost all the time of the day by Fan Wubing's side.
But Fan Wubing felt more tired. Tong Xiaoyun is like a juicer to him, trying to squeeze out all his energy, even a generation of masters can't handle it.
So when Jean Bigel from Airbus saw Fan Wubing, he found that he had two dark circles under his eyes. It really took people by surprise.
"Mr. Fan, what's the matter with you?" Jean Bigel asked.
"The weather in Paris is not suitable for me, and I don't have a good rest." Fan Wubing explained to Jean Bugel, laughing.
But Fan Wubing suddenly discovered that the circles under Jean Bireer's eyes were also dark, and the color was darker, so he asked curiously, "Why are your eye circles so dark?"
Jean Bigel said with some embarrassment,
"Too busy at work these days. **** not having a good rest."
"Mr. Jean Buger is really a dedicated person!" Fan Wubing praised a few words insincerely.
"Mr. Fan, there are some things that we need to talk about openly and honestly." Let Bigel decide to raise this question directly, no need to hide it anymore. "I think we have been talking very happily, what is it that makes you so worried?" Fan Wubing asked knowingly.
After hearing Fan Wubing's words, Bigel felt a little passionate.
Why so worried? If you hadn't suddenly hooked up with someone from Boeing, would I be so worried? ! But in this case, you can't use the roar. So Bigel tried to calm himself down, and then said to Fan Wubing in a rough voice, "Mr. Fan, Airbus has been very sincerely discussing with your company about ordering A340 planes." However, there have been rumors recently that your company is in contact with people from Boeing to purchase Boeing series aircraft, which makes us very sad. Isn’t the traditional friendship between the Chinese and French peoples longer than that of the Americans?”
After Fan Wubing heard this, he secretly laughed. All the traditional friendship between the Chinese and French people appeared. It seemed that he was really anxious. ^^^^
When did the traditional friendship between the Chinese and French people begin? Fan Wubing is not very clear. But when the French started to invade China, he knew very well. So he can clearly distinguish when to talk about friendship. When is it time to talk business.
When necessary, such things as stabbing in the back are also done.
Therefore, Fan Wubing asked inexplicably in astonishment, "How can there be such rumors? It's so inexplicable! Mr. Jean Biger, you must keep a clear head. Rumors are self-evident. Broken! As for the fact that I am going to transfer the order from your company to Boeing, it is not true at all!"
Nonsense! When all this becomes a fact, do I still need to sit here and continue talking nonsense with you? !
Jean Bigel said helplessly, "Mr. Fan, our Airbus company is very sincere, and the board of directors is also very enthusiastic about cooperating with your company. We hope to sign the contract as soon as possible, so that Those rumors are self-defeating. I wonder what Mr. Fan thinks of my proposal?"
"I completely agree with Mr. Jean Bigel's proposal, so where should we start?" Fan Wubing waved his hand, asked his subordinates to bring over two drinks, and handed Jean Bigel one. ^^^^
"Although there are many points to make, I think Mr. Fan should be most concerned about the price—" Jean Bigel said helplessly.
Ever since Airbus discovered that Maximus, the senior vice president of Boeing, had come to Paris and had close contact with Fan Wubing, he understood that Fan Wubing's choice would not be limited to his own family. If the negotiations with the business representative did not go well, or if Fan Wubing would just pat his wife and leave, he would never take a plane with him.
According to the relevant information they obtained privately, Boeing did design a package solution for Fan Wubing's needs, which not only covered the adaptation types of several aircraft types provided by Airbus for Fan Wubing, but also included It can be said that their work has been done in a much more detailed manner than that of Airbus.
Therefore, the board of directors of Airbus felt that this matter was a big deal, and they had to finalize a specific cooperation plan with Fan Investment Group as soon as possible and sign a contract. The night was long and dreamy, God knows if they would really turn around and cooperate with Boeing? !
The only thing Airbus can rely on now. ***** is that the Chinese business delegation is still in Paris, and the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and France is a condition for negotiations, that is, some cooperation projects between the two parties, including the purchase of some aircraft from Airbus. But they also learned. Fan's Investment Group is actually here to help, that is to say, they are not obliged to order aircraft from Airbus. The only condition for them to order Airbus aircraft is that they can get a suitable price.
Therefore, letting Biger bring up this topic all of a sudden is because of the mentality of failure or success, and today he must discuss with Fan Wubing a result.
"Well, well, it can be seen. Airbus's board of directors is still very sincere." Fan Wubing agreed with a smile.
After talking for about ten minutes, the two finalized the deal worth three billion U.S. dollars. In addition to his own two billion U.S. dollars purchase plan, Fan Wubing also handed over the one billion U.S. dollars from Eastern Airlines and Northwest Airlines. By the way, the price is indeed much lower than the base price that was originally expected. "How about signing the contract tomorrow?" Let Bigel finally settle down.
Recently, the competition in the aviation manufacturing industry in Europe and the United States is very fierce. For a deal worth three billion US dollars, Boeing took the senior vice president to chase after Paris. But the United States is too strong now, and the French dare not tell the reason, so they have to compete on price, and winning the order is victory.
"I think there is no problem. Just stay in this hotel." Fan Wubing had no objection to this.
On the second day, the staff of the embassy, members of the business delegation, relevant officials from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the government, and some high-level executives of Airbus attended the Airbus and Fan's meeting held at the George V Hotel. Investment group purchase contract signing ceremony.
Under hundreds of flashing lights, Fan Wubing signed this big contract with a total value of three billion US dollars with Airbus representative Jean Bigel.
Originally, Fan Wubing planned to let the locals of Eastern Airlines and Northwest Airlines sign the contract by themselves. But they feel spread out. Maybe the French are going to play tricks again, so they might as well sign together. When something went wrong, the three families came to the door together to kick the gym. There is also enough confidence.
As soon as the contract here is signed, Fan Wubing's work in France will come to an end. After bidding farewell to Tong Xiaoyun, he boards the plane of China Eastern Airlines and returns to Shanghai with Maximos. Discuss the purchase plan with Boeing.
In fact, this matter can also be discussed in Paris, but considering the need to take care of the emotions of the French and respect the traditional friendship between the Chinese and French people, Fan Wubing finally suppressed Maximos' eagerness to make contributions and sent him to Pull it to Shanghai first.
"Actually, although I sell airplanes, from the bottom of my heart, I don't like this kind of lifestyle of flying around." Maximos was sitting next to Fan Wubing, pulling out a newspaper Come and see, he said to Fan Wubing.
"Why? Do you not trust the safety performance of your company's aircraft?" Fan Wubing asked curiously.
"No! I'm not used to not being able to smoke for a long time! This has nothing to do with the performance of our company's aircraft!" Maximos replied.
"Actually, smoking can cause bronchitis, lung cancer, liver cancer, lymphatic cancer and other diseases. You should really quit it." Fan Wubing suggested to the old man.
The old Jewish man said stubbornly, "I see death as home."
"Most importantly, smoking can cause impotence." Fan Wubing continued.
The old man looked at Fan Wubing resentfully and said, "Do you think I still need to pay attention to this issue?"
"That's true." Fan Wubing nodded, and looked at Maximos sympathetically.
The plane finally rose into the sky, passed above the clouds, and entered the scheduled route.
