Chapter 377 Don't Want to Be a Strategic Investor(2/2)
Shouldn’t today be COMAC’s home court?!
"Brothers, what happened to these big guys today? How come they have Mr. Hu surrounded!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I just discovered a scary problem now. Good guy, seeing how enthusiastic these big guys are, I'm afraid they didn't come to the event to meet Mr. Hu, right?"
"Ah?! Seeing that Mr. Hu needs to mobilize troops like this?!"
"You're kidding, do you think Mr. Hu can meet anyone?"
In this situation, only Mr. Yu from COMAC Group who was standing beside him felt enlightened.
He looked at the back of Hu Lai and everyone entering the living room, and felt deeply in his heart.
This is international influence!
Even if a domestic enterprise claims to be number one in the world and has the world's largest domestic share, as long as it is not recognized by international peers in the international market, then no matter how awesome you are, you will have no say in the world, let alone influence!
Just like the C919, even if you get 800 or 900 domestic orders, as long as you don't gain a firm foothold in the international market, who will recognize you?
Only when domestic companies truly enter the international market and truly gain market recognition can you gain the right to speak and gain influence in this industry.
They all say that we need to increase the global influence of Yanguo's products and increase the voice of Yanguo's manufacturing. How can we improve it if we don't go global?!
And now, Phoenix Group has undoubtedly set the most correct example!
When your product is awesome enough, what if it is as noble as Airbus?
It’s not just like licking your face to maintain relationships, or licking your face to ask for cooperation!
What is world influence? This is world influence!
With the Phoenix Group at the forefront, who dares to say that things made by Yan Guo are not useful on airplanes?!
Thinking of this, Mr. Yu suddenly thought of Chief Li's proposal some time ago to let Phoenix Group control COMAC...
He was still a little confused at first, but looking at the current situation, if the Phoenix Group can really get a stake in COMAC, it might really be an excellent and optimal solution.
What happened next was much smoother.
After everyone and Hu Lai got to know each other and were introduced, Mr. Yu asked all visiting guests to move to the C919 apron that had been prepared.
The sun was shining brightly, a breeze was blowing, and amidst the laughter and laughter of everyone, Chief Li, who had the highest position in the leadership, finally appeared in everyone's eyes.
After the warm congratulations, Chief Li and President Yu began to prepare for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Originally, Hu Lai was just a temporary guest. Unexpectedly, after what happened just now, Mr. Yu actually arranged for Hu Lai to attend the ribbon-cutting.
Unable to shirk, Hu Lai had no choice but to cut the ribbon for the first C919 with Chief Li and Mr. Yu!
The memory of history will always be fixed at this moment. With the ribbon-cutting, the first domestically produced large aircraft in Yanguo's history was officially put into the market and officially delivered for use!
The delivery ceremony came to an end. Immediately afterwards, Chief Li left in advance, and all the guests present returned to the previous hotel. There was a separate exhibition hall prepared for C919 in the hotel.
This is also the purpose of COMAC’s efforts to invite airlines from all over the world to come this time. It must take this opportunity to promote the C919.
It has to be said that despite the technical blessing of Phoenix Group, C919 does have its own unique features.
At the end of the exhibition day, COMAC had received a lot of orders for the C919. All overseas airlines that came here had basically ordered a few to more than ten aircraft.
Mr. Yu couldn't close his mouth.
Hu Lai later also figured out the purpose of many overseas airlines, including the CEO of Airbus Group and others.
For the sake of COMAC's orders, Hu Lai was very cooperative and did not leave early. After many airline CEOs had left, Hu Lai also said goodbye.
But at this time, Chief Li personally found Hu Lai.
Hu Lai didn't expect that Chief Li would find him in person, but when Chief Li and Mr. Yu put forward their ideas in the conference room, Hu Lai was completely shocked.
"Chief Li, what do you mean, let Phoenix Group become a strategic investor of COMAC?! Become the major shareholder of COMAC?!"
Speaking of which, this was also the first time that Chief Li met Hu Lai.
Seeing Hu Lai's shocked look, Chief Li nodded slightly.
"Yes, we have already discussed this matter in a meeting."
"As long as you Phoenix Group, to be precise, as long as you, Mr. Hu, nod and are willing to become the controlling shareholder of COMAC, then we are willing to transfer 25% of our shares to Phoenix Group in the form of 'technical investment'!"
"Of course, with shares comes responsibility. Once we become a strategic investor of COMAC, our Phoenix Group will provide COMAC with as much technical research and development support as possible."
"I guess this won't be a big problem for your company."
Hearing Chief Li confirm again, Hu Lai felt a little flattered!
You know, this is Yanguo Commercial Aircraft Group!
This is the C919 Commercial Aircraft Group that the country spent billions to tens of billions on, devoted all its efforts to, and used countless national-level human resources.
Just like that... I hope Phoenix Group will become a strategic investor of COMAC and grow together with COMAC?!
Hu Lai has no worries about the future of COMAC.
Now that COMAC’s most difficult R&D cycle has passed, and the first step in overseas markets has been taken, the next step is nothing more than how to expand market share!
It can be said that this transaction is definitely a profitable business for the Phoenix Group. Now allowing Phoenix to become a strategic investor is simply giving money to the Phoenix Group!
And most importantly.
Participate in a state-owned enterprise!
What kind of trust and status is this?!
After finally calming down his agitated mood, Hu glanced at Chief Li and Mr. Yu, but began to think in his heart.
To be honest, the reason why the higher-ups allowed the Phoenix Group to take such a big advantage was simply because they valued the scientific research strength of the Phoenix Group.
Once Phoenix Group truly becomes a strategic investor of COMAC, it will inevitably purchase some aircraft-related system technologies and provide them to COMAC.
But the difficulty is that because of the limitations of the domestic product system, if these scattered technologies are not sold into Phoenix products in the market, they will not bring him points.
Now Hu Lai doesn't want to disrupt Phoenix Group's future plans because of this incident.
Thinking of this, Hu Lai already had the answer in his mind.
He looked at Chief Li and shook his head slightly.
"Chief Li, I may disappoint you."
"We currently do not want to become a strategic investor in COMAC."
