Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

With a result that was not particularly satisfactory, Zhao Haijun left the hangar where the Heiyun Group was located. Although the aircraft engine problem has been temporarily solved, it is only a temporary solution. Only by keeping the country's great weapon in its own hands can people rest assured. You must know that Heiyun Group is a Hong Kong enterprise and is currently managed by the British. Once the situation changes, it will be very troublesome if the aircraft engine cannot be supplied. When the time comes, even he will not be able to explain to the military, and he will become a criminal.

It's not that Zhao Haijun has never thought about building an aero-engine factory in China, not to mention whether Bao Zixuan will agree; the British will definitely come out to oppose it. Batumi will also stop it, and the Black Cloud Group is bound to be severely sanctioned. At the same time, Zhao Haijun also knew that when the British government issued a military industrial license to Heiyun Group, it clearly stipulated that no factories related to the production of weapons and equipment should be established in mainland China. This was a red line, and Bao Zixuan didn't dare to cross it at this time.

After sending Zhao Haijun off, I saw many people discussing intensely. This made Bao Zixuan very curious, so he came over to see what was going on.

When I arrived at the scene, I realized that it was a wealthy French man who wanted to order a private jet. We are not very satisfied with the design plan of the engineering and technical personnel and are currently discussing it.

After hearing the whole story, Bao Zixuan really wanted to slap himself. How could you forget such an important thing? Private jets can quickly increase your reputation. The wealthy class all choose the Black Cloud 919 passenger aircraft, so what should ordinary people be worried about?

A private jet refers to a privately owned aircraft. The aircraft is mostly used to provide convenience for personal or commercial travel by individuals and their accompanying persons. It is also a reflection of the identity of the aircraft owner. Later generations of Dassault, Embraer, and Bombardier, although inferior to Boeing and Airbus in terms of large passenger aircraft, still occupy a large share in the field of private jets.

Those who can order a private jet are those who are not short of money. The requirements for quality are higher, but the price is not paid so much attention. We cannot give up on this dark cloud of business, we must continue this business. This has nothing to do with how much money you make, it’s mainly about gaining popularity.

I saw some difficulties in communication between engineering and technical personnel and customers, mainly because the customers spoke French. The engineer speaks English, which requires a translator and many meanings cannot be conveyed directly.

Originally, he didn't want to disturb the engineer's work, but Bao Zixuan knew that he had to take action in this situation. Otherwise, you are likely to lose this business. Money is a small matter, but face is a big deal.

And when the engineer saw his boss coming, he felt relieved. He quickly said: "Boss, it's great that you are here. This lady wants to order a private jet. I am not very proficient in French. The translation is not very accurate. Please come and receive it in person. I will definitely study French seriously in the future, please The boss."

Bao Zixuan gave the engineer a firm look to reassure him. At the same time, let the engineer watch from the side, after all, he still has to complete the follow-up work.

Bao Zixuan walked up to a middle-aged woman and said in French: "Hello, madam! If you have anything to tell me, I will do my best to meet your requirements. Customer satisfaction is our goal."

Hearing such pure French made the middle-aged woman feel good about him. So he smiled and said: "Hello, sir, I am Liliana Bettencourt, from the L'Oreal Group. If you want to order a unique aircraft, the interior decoration must add fashion elements. I have been there before Airbus and Boeing were not very satisfied with their design plans. I heard that Heiyun Group could also produce medium-sized passenger aircraft, so I came here to try my luck."

Hear the name and the company. Only then did Bao Zixuan understand why he looked so familiar.

L'Oreal Group is a French cosmetics company founded in 1907. It is also a leader in the cosmetics industry. At its peak, its business scope spanned more than 130 countries and regions, with 283 branches, 42 factories, more than 100 agents, and more than 50,000 employees worldwide. A multinational company headquartered in France and one of the Fortune Global 500 companies.

And this Liliana Bettencourt is the daughter of the founder of L'Oreal Group. He started as an intern at L'Oréal at the age of 15 and inherited the company after his father's death in 1957. Definitely the richest woman in France, with a net worth of more than 20 billion US dollars. She is a princess who was born with a golden key in her mouth. No wonder she has such a picky eye.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mrs. Bettencourt. Forgive me for not recognizing you. I don't know what Heiyun Group can do for Madam. Or you can tell me the effect you want to express, and we can design it on the spot. .”

Liliana Bettencourt was very happy to hear this. This young man is much better than the engineers at Boeing and Airbus. Bao Zixuan asked the engineer to bring over drawings and drawing pens.

In this way, Liliana Bettencourt put forward design requirements, and Bao Zixuan began to paint according to the requirements. The shape of the aircraft has been determined, and we can only imagine ways to paint it to fully incorporate L'Oreal elements into it.

After the exterior painting was completed, Liliana Bettencourt was very satisfied. It was also said that this young Asian man’s painting skills are really good. In fact, these are just basic skills. In his previous life, Bao Zixuan often went sketching when he was free. In addition to the hand-drawing skills required by engineers, the painting level is quite professional.

Next, we began to design the interior in accordance with Liliana Bettencourt's requirements, combined with Bao Zixuan's forward-thinking vision. The entire interior design is not only luxurious, but also incorporates many fashion elements. Not only was Bettencourt very satisfied, but other people were also interested in buying one back.

Liliana Betancourt said excitedly: "This is the result I want. I want to order one. And right away, you can make a quote."

Bao Zixuan's paintings attracted many viewers, including many journalists. Bettencourt saw that all Asians had similar faces, and the main purpose was to order private jets. Of course, he would not pay too much attention to the appearance of an engineer. But others, especially young women, can recognize Mr. Bao.

He has seen all these processes, and as Liliana Betancourt is, she will not rely on others. Not to mention that Bao Zixuan would not be trusted, after all, there was no evidence of any interaction between the two before.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "As long as you are satisfied, I have just calculated it. Exterior painting basically does not cost much, at most it is a little troublesome. Only the internal structure needs large-scale changes, and the overall cost will increase by about US$5 million. Therefore, the price of this aircraft is US$37.5 million. After all, engineers still need to conduct a series of mold openings. I hope you can understand."

Liliana Bettencourt did not expect that the young man would quote the price so quickly, which was much lower than the price in his mind. So he smiled and said: "Sir, the price will not change!"

His words made everyone around him laugh. It seemed that Bettencourt had not yet recognized who the man in front of him was.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Please rest assured that Heiyun Group's business reputation is still guaranteed."

At this time, a girl next to him said a few words into Betancourt's ear, and the other party smiled awkwardly. It turns out that this is the chairman of Heiyun Group. I still doubt that what others say is not the case. Isn’t this a source of ridicule!

Liliana Betancourt smiled and said: "Sorry, I didn't recognize you. It is also an honor for me to have the president of Heiyun Group serve me. So our business has been negotiated, can we sign it? contract."

In fact, it is easy to understand, everyone is a person with status. If you bargain here, it will make people laugh. You must know that L'Oreal cosmetics never bargain.

Bao Zixuan: "Of course."

The engineer immediately understood what it meant and started asking people to prepare the contract. Although it is only an order for one aircraft, it is also a first-of-its-kind order. Heiyun Group has finally opened up the private jet market. It is believed that through orders from L'Oreal, more wealthy people will come to its door in the future.

There are professional lawyers on both sides, and the contract templates are similar. The two quickly signed their names on the contract. At this point, the Heiyun Group's first private jet was finally sold, and the rest was a matter of production.

When Liliana Bettencourt was leaving, Bao Zixuan's words aroused her interest; she also agreed to meet at the L'Oreal head office two days later to discuss the matter in detail.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, once the private jet market opens. More wealthy people will come to customize it, and the hangar where Heiyun Group is located will become busy again.

L'Oreal's order allows Heiyun Group to open up the private jet market, which is not a good thing for competitors. Airbus originally thought that it was certain that it would win the L'Oreal order, but it was unexpectedly snatched away by Heiyun. At this time, engineers are receiving criticism, and of course Boeing sales engineers are no better.
