Chapter 64: Breaking into the Door and Asking for a Monthly Pass

In order to take care of the fatigue and jet lag of the exchange students, the group activities on the second day did not start until 10 o'clock in the morning local time, and the organizers gathered all the exchange students to visit some scheduled attractions, and also arranged their life in Paris in the next six months.
Fan Wuxian left two assistants to negotiate Tong Xiaoyun's problem with the organizer alone, and together with other senior officials, accompanied by people sent by Airbus, went to the Airbus headquarters to do research.
Airbus is an aviation consortium jointly owned by Europe's two largest arms supply manufacturers, the European Aeronautics and Space Corporation and British Aerospace Systems, including companies from Germany, France, Spain and the United Kingdom.
He was founded in response to the dominance of American aircraft, with the goal of surpassing Boeing and McDonnell Douglas.
Although Airbus has products that compete with Boeing in other models, it has always been a blank in the market of large long-range civil transport aircraft, although it has launched Airbus A340, but it still cannot shake the absolute dominance of Boeing 747.
Although Airbus's large passenger aircraft project has been launched, at present, the large passenger aircraft with about 500 seats is still a dominant force of Boeing, and they want to occupy this part of the market, and they need to wait until the A380 comes out to have this opportunity.
\\\\\ for the time being, Airbus is very keen on the development of 500 to 800-seat large civil aviation transport aircraft, aiming to seize the large passenger aircraft market controlled by Boeing, and at the same time, the company has also put forward an inference for the future development of civil aviation, believing that the development of civil aviation transport aircraft in the world will continue to develop to large-scale in the future.
In this way, the concept of hub radiation was proposed, that is, passengers converge to the hub airport through regional flights, and then transported by large transport aircraft to another hub airport.
Finally, take a regional airliner to the destination. Although Airbus personnel knew that Fan's investment group intended to buy their own aircraft, they did not know the specific type and number of aircraft, after all, the source of the information they got was from the Chinese government, which has recently proposed a possible $3 billion order for Airbus in the negotiations between the two governments on the normalization of diplomatic relations.
Airbus is very excited about this intention, and this is not the first time that a Chinese airline has purchased an Airbus aircraft.
Since 1985, when the Civil Aviation Administration of China introduced the first Airbus aircraft, China Eastern Airlines has purchased the largest number of Airbus aircraft.
\\\\\ they have already ordered fifteen Airbus aircraft. And last year, Northern Airlines also ordered six A300-600 aircraft.
Although Fan Wuxian had also seen the landscape of the aircraft production plant on TV before, he still felt a little shocked when he was there this time.
No wonder you can put down such a big guy here, the factory is so big! According to the person in charge of the host area, they now have about 40,000 employees in factories in four countries, and if they can get a lot of new orders this year, they can solve thousands more jobs.
"This is the gap---- Fan Wuxian said to a staff member next to him,
"Billions of dollars in orders. It's just a few thousand jobs. If it were in our country, how many people would it take to do it? The crowd shook their heads.
China can only be a labor-intensive industry, and there is no competitiveness in these high-tech projects.
It is really an unattainable thing to achieve overall development and improve the domestic technology level by introducing foreign second-rate or even third-rate technology.
The first (5) 20.0 The Frenchman who accompanied them could not understand Chinese, and the translator was Fan Wuxian himself, naturally he would not disclose the topic of this multi-billion dollar land order to him, otherwise I believe that the French who like to make noise will definitely open champagne in advance to celebrate.
Europe is now bound together to form an alliance to deal with the powerful United States, the Chinese market is the focus of their efforts, after all, throughout the world, only this market is basically blank, once the Chinese are used to buying Airbus aircraft, then orders will naturally continue to increase.
In the face of the visit of such a large potential customer, it is to send someone to accompany the visit, and at noon I invited a working meal.
As for the quality of working meals, Fan Wuxian thinks that this is probably the reason why Europeans are generally obese, and the combination of meals is a bit unreasonable, just like using feed to keep workers in captivity.
Everyone has been following Fan Wu's illness for a long time, and they have also learned his appetite, so they feel a little uncomfortable with Airbus's arrangement, and finally after returning to the hotel, they made up another lunch.
Then Fan Wuxi found that he encountered another problem, that is, his mobile phone is an analog signal, and the European side is already a digital model, and the price is relatively not very high.
"Boss, have you really decided to set up a branch office in France?" Another foreign executive of Fan Wuxi, American Dolby, asked with some caution.
"Well, this one is natural." Fan Wuxian nodded and said,
"The real estate market in Europe has been very sluggish due to the economic downturn, for example, the George V Hotel, where we stayed, is not doing very well right now. What I mean by this is that you stay and buy British real estate stocks, and you look for the right hotels in France to buy, which can be multiplied in a few years if things get better. Dolby then understood Fan Wuxi's intentions, originally he thought that Fan Wuxian just wanted to buy a few planes, but now it seems that his appetite is as great as ever, if he invests the same two billion US dollars in it, it will double in a few years, and he will earn back the money to buy airplanes.
\\\\\\What's more, once Fan Wuxian decides to invest, it will be tens of billions of dollars, and Dolby finds that his work in the next few years will be very meaningful.
"Boss, why don't you invest in real estate in the UK? It's a bit cheaper over there. An employee asked.
Fan Wuxian shook his head and said,
"Britain is a country I don't like, the island mentality is serious, the development potential is also small, and now it is declining, the British real estate market will only be more sluggish, I would rather choose the core of the European continent France as a bridgehead to enter the European market."
"Then why not Germany? Germany has a stronger economy and a lot of potential for development. Another employee asked.
Fan Wuxian laughed,
"This is to discuss the question of human character, Germans have always been known for their rigor, if the German real estate market shows signs of rising, the government will not let go, so there is not much room for growth. And the political chaos in France is one reason, and their natural enthusiasm that can be easily triggered by any small thing is the greatest advantage we can use. In fact, Fan Wuxian still has a sentence that has not been said, that is, France is suitable for the development of tourism whether it is climate or traditional customs, so if you look at the right time to enter the hotel industry, as long as you are not too stupid, you are willing to spend some money on decoration, and then hire a few professional hotel managers to operate, I believe that you will definitely be able to make a lot of money in a few years.
Of course, Fan Wuxian also explained to 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 they had eaten supper, they talked about things for a while, and then they went back to their rooms. When Fan Wuxian 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 muttered something in the innermost, Fan Wuxian didn't understand, but the translator in the next room ran out when he heard the news and explained to Fan Wuxi,
He said it seemed that there was a problem with the electronic management system and that a technician needed to be found to overhaul it. Fan Wuxi suddenly felt a little unhappy, he lived in a luxury suite, and he couldn't open the door, so if it was changed to an ordinary guest room, would the problem be more serious?
It's no wonder that the George V Hotel couldn't survive and had to be sold to the Four Seasons Group.
Fan Wuxian was here to complain, but he heard as if there was 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 not time to clean, and it is impossible for anyone to stay in the room, so how can there be such a noise?
So Fan Wuxi felt that something was wrong with the situation, could it be that a spy or a thief had sneaked into his room?
Among the things I brought over, although there were no important documents, there were also a lot of cash, and if someone stole them like this, wouldn't it seem that I was too incompetent?
At that moment, he yelled, and his body directly hit the door panel, and the hard walnut door panel was like paper paste under Fan Wuxian's collision, and it broke in response, and the broken wood chips flew to the ground.
The waiter who rushed over was horrified to see a large human-shaped hole in the hard wooden door, and the gentleman who lived in the luxury suite actually crashed into the room!
