Airbus is British/French/German/Spanish. The wings are made in
the UK.

First of all, it's billion, not million. Secondly, Boeing doesn't usually save order announcements for the Paris airshow. Last time I saw any sales data Boeing had confirmed orders for nearly 600 787's which translates to somewhere in the neighborhood of $80b-$120b, depending upon discounts and configuration differences.
