Chapter 34 Playing Big Chess (2)

Late at night, the father and son discussed the future plan with the mellow Blue Mountain Coffee: "What are your considerations in the next year? Do you really want to transfer most of your funds to the United States? I remember you said in the telegram that you also wanted to start a civil aviation company."

"Civil aviation needs to be handled and stocks need to be bought, but there is no conflict. After the New Year, the money for civil aviation will be settled." Contini had a confident smile on his face, and he still had a short position of more than 5 million US dollars.

Old Ziano knew the confidence behind the smile: after the New Year, the Francisco will definitely be impatient to send troops. As long as the soldiers of the two countries appear in the Ruhr area, German Mark will immediately fall into the abyss. Resist? That is impossible! Since it is impossible to resist militarily, Mark's collapse is inevitable, and speculative profits will roll in.

Currently, the total USD that has been out of Germany is 10.23 million. Ziano, the old man, took away 800,000 yuan in principal, spent more than 1 million yuan before and after establishing the United Motorcycle, and transferred about 5 million yuan to the United States. Faced with this account, Contini roughly counted and said: "The United States invested 10 million, and I plan to use it to start civil aviation. The teacher promised that the equipment, venues, and personnel would do their best to help me operate. The Ministry of Aviation will not interfere too much. Now there is only one question: Does United Airlines need to absorb shares of other consortiums?"

Jade Duhei's teacher, Ziano, is very satisfied: Jade Duhei is not a simple bureaucrat or general. He is an academic authority in the air force. He has many benefits in the future. For Contini, it is no big deal to get a minister assistant. As long as he comes forward to communicate, assistants from any other department can also be taken. However, the Aviation Department is a very special department and is on the eve of the establishment of the independent air force. Once he can become a veteran of the air force, he will be much faster in the future. If he is given the title of disciple under the academic authority, it will be even more reliable. Now I don't know why Duhei accepted his son as a disciple. If it is just to sell his face, the situation will be much more tortuous.

So old Ziano asked indirectly: "How did you convince him? He has a bad temper and doesn't even give him the leader's face."

"That's because you didn't find a good idea. If you convince him, you must start with theory." Contini briefly explained the situation of his debate with Duhe. Old Ziano was stunned. He really didn't realize that his son understood aviation.

"Didn't you brag?"

"What's the point of bragging about this? In two days, the teacher will submit an inspection report to the cabinet. It's all your son's knives, and he didn't change a word." Contini smiled. "The teacher's works must also be revised significantly. I must consider them and add all the ideas to it. He suggested that I go to the military academy for 1-2 years after graduating from university. Even if I can't learn anything, it's okay to be familiar with it."

After saying this, Old Ziano believed it, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "You must be mentally prepared. If the independent Air Force is formed, your teacher's position may not be able to sit for a long time."

"I know, the teacher said so himself." Contini laughed. "Actually, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the leader puts the teacher in this position to compete with the army. The main purpose is to build the Independent Air Force and take it into his own hands. He just wants to use the teacher's prestige and praise for the Independent Air Force to achieve political goals. He doesn't understand the use of air military power at all. The teacher has complained many times. He may retreat after the Independent Air Force is officially established and focus on academics. Before that, he will use all favorable conditions to start civil aviation."

Old Ziano nodded. Du Hei was able to see these clearly, which means his mind was still clear. No wonder he tried his best to promote the leadership of the Ministry of Transport on the issue of civil aviation - he would not be the Minister of Aviation in the future, and there was no need to choose whether to help students or successors.

So he refocused the topic on the composition of civil aviation shares: "This is a good question! How much do you decide on how much investment you invest? How many social shares are allowed to be absorbed? I know you have a lot of ideas on United Motorcycle, and I don't know how to consider civil aviation?"

Contini calculated it and said: "I expect the overall profit of this speculation to be 15-16 million US dollars. In addition to the investment direction that has been allocated, I plan to use 2 million US dollars to start United Airlines. The remaining hundreds of thousands will be used for newspapers and other living expenses. The teacher has promised to award me the title of Assistant Secretary of Aviation, but I will not give a salary! This is very beneficial to my future social interactions and business development, and many Italians will take this!"

"If you don't pay a salary, you can also get the title of assistant minister of transportation!" Old Ziano laughed, "Don't worry about the outside world's eyes. You must be responsible for doing big things. You are my son, so what's wrong with being an assistant without paying money? Anyway, I won't be promoted to you."

"To be honest, $2 million is more than enough to start United Airlines in the current situation, but I don't want to leave this impression on the outside world that we are unwilling to accept other people's investment in order to eat alone. This is a blow to my father's reputation. If someone is interested, he will probably think more if he thinks about it when he contacts the Ministry of Aviation and his teacher to consider it together. In fact, within five years, United Airlines will not want to make a profit at all. I think it is harming others."

Contini finally summarized: "Are you asking you to make a noise? Just say that I am interested in establishing an airline, with the share capital set to 30 million lira (about 1.5 million US dollars), and expand to 100 million lira within three years. There will be no dividends during this period until all cumulative losses are sluggished and then dividends are distributed. The maximum shareholding ratio of others cannot exceed 35%.

This idea is quite detrimental: just keep investing more and not paying dividends, how many people can stand this? And they can't get the controlling stake, it's just spending money for people to play. This points out Contini's real idea: he doesn't like other people interfering, but he will show his consent on his face - if you don't care about burning money, then come on.

"How many years will it take to make a profit?"

"It would be great if you could barely offset the income and expenditure in 10 years."

Old Ziano was startled: "Is it that the civil aviation in Britain and France also operates so bleak?"

"I have different ideas from them. Civil aviation is just a step I put on the surface. What I really need to do is to integrate the Italian aviation industry, and at the same time make civil aviation a linkage ace in the hands of the youth alliance, aviation club, and radio stations I have mastered. Why is the name called Union? It is not because the name sounds cool, but because in my imagination it is a joint embodiment of multiple business formats, and it is a whole big game of chess." Contini handed over the business plan written on the road.

Old Ziano read it quickly. Although he could not fully understand many ideas, it did not hinder his understanding of this grand blueprint: in the future group system, the radio stations heard by the Italian people, the newspapers they saw were from United Group, the flights they took were from United Group, the planes used by United Airlines were produced by themselves, and even the bills and settlement accounts used were also carried out through United Group's banks.

United Group has its own motorcycle, automobile, and aviation industries. If consumer credit is needed, it can be directly realized through United Bank. Media controlled by United Group will focus on publishing other products and service advertisements produced by the Group... In this system, United is a brand. When you see this brand, everyone will think of the strength behind it. Even if United wants to enter a new industrial field, this kind of intangible assets accumulated in other fields will instantly open the public's impression.

For example, if you want to produce TVs in the future, for the Italian people, it will definitely be a joint brand. Fiat brand TVs have a more advantage than other brands - this is the preemptive move of brands and business formats. Of course, there is another saying that Contini will not write in the report. Only by quickly strengthening himself and forming a super consortium, and then combining it with the power of the state, military power and industrial and military industry can his ultimate ambition be realized.

"You want to do a lot of things. Can funds bear it? If the capital chain breaks and before you can exert your so-called aggregation effect, all these industries will collapse!"

"Things can be done step by step. After I was 20 years old, I still have at least 50 years to fight. As for capital..." Contini smiled confidently, "The US capital market will become a continuous stream of cash machines. Speculation can make money, and capital operation can make money. When the career reaches a certain level, it will not be easy for me to collapse - if someone wants to destroy the Fiat Group and the Agnelli family now, even if the people in power are not interested in them, they will not let this idea go."

This is a big trick that cannot be defeated. Old Ziano understood it very well. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, don't worry, you can do it. Even if you lose all the money, it's nothing great. At worst, you can come from where you go and go back. However, you can come forward in the name of the family, but the specific industry must be separated from the existing industrial zone."

"That's of course, it's your wealth."

"Calai, that's not what I mean." Old Ziano said earnestly, "I want to keep the last little capital. If you lose all of it outside, as long as you leave the family property, you will still have the capital to make a comeback! I'm always going to die, and you are the only child, who else will I give you?"
