Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 704 - 703: Vote
"Today, I'm not here to customize an airplane with you. What I am truly interested in is your company."
"I want to acquire your company in full and then manufacture one according to my own preferences."
Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, the ingratiating smile on Albert Jackson's face immediately froze.
He could hardly believe his ears when he heard Jiang Cheng say such words.
It was a long time before he recovered and asked Jiang Cheng in confusion, "Aren't you here today for a private jet? Are you really trying to acquire our company?"
Originally, the President was quite pleased with Jiang Cheng's visit today, thinking that his firm's jets finally caught Jiang Cheng's interest.
That's why he had been so attentive before and went as far as setting aside his status to personally act as a salesperson.
But ultimately, he wasted a half-day of effort as Jiang Cheng wasn't there for private jet issues at all.
Facing the other party's query, Jiang Cheng showed a faint smile and said, "I was indeed interested in having a private jet, but I'm used to using high-tech products of my own making."
"So I thought of acquiring a private jet manufacturer to build a plane to my liking."
"These two matters are not contradictory, right? Acquiring your company and wanting my own private jet are essentially the same thing."
Albert Jackson had a new understanding of Jiang Cheng after hearing his explanation.
He realized that Jiang Cheng, this super genius, was quite willful and could acquire their company just to get a private jet of his liking.
Still, he did not show his true thoughts and continued with a tone of skepticism, "I wonder what terms you might offer? If the terms are right, it's not impossible to discuss this matter."
Regarding their company being acquired, the President wasn't that opposed.
If just anyone said they wanted to acquire their company, he might have immediately thrown them out.
But if the person proposing the acquisition was Jiang Cheng, the situation became entirely different.
He was well aware of Jiang Cheng's strength and knew the current status of the Cosmic Umbrella Group.
If their company were acquired by Jiang Cheng, it would certainly achieve the best development, ruling the entire private jet manufacturing field with ease.
They might even enter the passenger aircraft manufacturing arena, engaging in a good rivalry with Boeing Company.
This was not just his fantasy; with Jiang Cheng's technical support, surpassing Boeing Company would be quite simple.
Now he wanted to see what conditions Jiang Cheng could propose, and if they were convincing enough, joining Jiang Cheng's camp wouldn't be hard to accept.
Such an opportunity was rare, and many outside would love to join Jiang Cheng's ranks.
Seeing the other's attitude, Jiang Cheng knew that today's matter was already almost in the bag.
It seemed the other party was not opposed to the acquisition but wanted to see the terms he would offer.
Jiang Cheng had great confidence in his terms; such good terms were something no one could refuse.
Soon Jiang Cheng directly stated his terms, formally starting the acquisition negotiation.
"As for the acquisition price, there's no need to dwell on it. I believe the figure will surely satisfy you. Money has never been an issue for me, so let me talk about other conditions instead."
While saying this, Jiang Cheng displayed great confidence, as if boldly declaring that money was no object for him.
Albert Jackson didn't question Jiang Cheng's words; he simply nodded slightly, acknowledging Jiang Cheng's statement.
This is because Jiang Cheng was indeed not wrong; he truly was someone for whom money was no issue.
The total assets Jiang Cheng owned had already reached a level that was beyond belief.
Just the portion visible to the public had already made him the world's wealthiest person in reality.
So, money was indeed not an issue for Jiang Cheng because he's genuinely someone with deep pockets.
Actually, Albert Jackson wasn't very concerned about the acquisition price; he trusted Jiang Cheng to meet his and other shareholders' demands.
What he cared most about was how much support Jiang Cheng could provide and to what extent their company could develop.
The ambition in this Gulfstream Company President's heart was vast; just being the best in private jet manufacturing could not satisfy his inner aspirations.
He had always wanted to enter the largest segment in the aviation market and get involved in passenger aircraft manufacturing.
Dominating the private jet manufacturing realm was no longer enough for him; he wanted to compete with Boeing Company.
Unfortunately, until now, this could only be a dream he kept inside without even being able to speak it out loud.
Boeing Company was just too powerful, completely beyond their capability to contend with.
With Jiang Cheng joining, things would take a completely different turn. He believed that with Jiang Cheng's backing, he could indeed overthrow the aviation giant Boeing Company.
Thus, the President was so proactive about Jiang Cheng's acquisition idea.
Soon Jiang Cheng began talking about what interested him most: the additional conditions he could offer.
"I can provide Gulfstream Company with the best development environment, allowing access to all resources of the Cosmic Umbrella Group."
"Moreover, I can offer the greatest technological support, making your planes the most advanced in the world."
"I believe that with my help, dominating the private jet manufacturing realm won't be difficult, and entering the passenger aircraft field in the future, if developed well, isn't impossible."
Jiang Cheng quickly finished stating his conditions, waiting for the other's final response.
It might have been Jiang Cheng's mention of entering the passenger aircraft field that hit the nail on the head for the Gulfstream Company President.
After hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Albert Jackson agreed to Jiang Cheng's terms without a moment's hesitation.
"I personally agree with this acquisition, but I still need to seek the board's opinion."
"This company isn't solely under my control; the acquisition must pass a board vote."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng knew that today's matter was settled. As long as the President nodded, acquiring Gulfstream Company was determined.
For passing the acquisition through the board, Jiang Cheng wasn't concerned at all.
The board was driven by money issues, and money was the one thing Jiang Cheng had in abundance.
Jiang Cheng gave Albert Jackson a hearty smile, then confidently said, "I welcome you to the Cosmic Umbrella Group. I am sure our future collaboration will be very pleasant."
Thus, the acquisition of Gulfstream Company was concluded swiftly, with Jiang Cheng using his financial prowess to win the board of Gulfstream Company over, successfully passing their board vote.
