I Don’t Want To Be Popular

In this hot summer, a trip to the three southern cities is enough to make people sweat. Fortunately, when passing by Xiangcheng, he grabbed sisters He Jiaqiong and Amin and asked them to sweat with him.

Even if he had someone to accompany him, he didn't stay much longer. He only stayed for two days before leaving the south and returning to his hometown on the seaside to escape the summer heat.

Regarding the GMs of the three hotels, they are all three middle-aged uncles in their fifties. Regarding their work attitude, Chen Chuan felt average. Although no problem can be seen in the short term, the hotel's efficiency is not high enough to illustrate the problem.

Chen Chuan asked Xun Xue to lead the investigation team to settle in, conduct a thorough inspection, and also visit each other to learn management experience.

The composition of this investigation team is: Xu Jingrong, Yang Meiyun, Xiao Ying, Charles, Qiu Ya, Matsui Mio, and Xu Xiaofeng.

Seven people in total. These seven people are the GMs of seven hotels respectively. The investigation team was formed, firstly, to investigate the business conditions of the three new hotels, and secondly, to conduct an inspection and study.

In addition to the seven GMs, there is also a professional financial team composed of seven top students who graduated from Qingbei's resumption of diplomatic relations. All ledgers will be exposed in front of these seven academic masters.

With the investigation team led by Xun Xue, Chen Chuan was relieved.

He can rest assured to study the losses of [Qindao Airlines] in Haiqin's hometown.

Chen Chuan led the [Steward Team] within the group and also inspected the airline inside and out.

Then, let the [Butler Team] put an investment plan on top.

On the surface, it is an investment plan, but in fact... it is a loss plan.

That is to say, you invest a sum of money in this airline without any thought, and then lower the profit target, and try not to make a profit...that is, a loss, which is called building a reputation.

As for how much money to invest, he still has $700 million in his Swiss bank account and can invest it all. Based on previous experiences with similar incidents. Naturally, the more you lose, the more you get in return.

Based on the discussion between the [Butler Team] and the airline’s professional crew, Chen Chuan had a basic understanding of the aircraft model. As we all know, 90% of the world's aviation aircraft come from two major companies, Boeing and Airbus.

And [Qindao Airlines] purchases all Airbus, and the current models are A318, 319, and 320. A total of 18 aircraft companies all have these three small models. There are no large models, not even medium-sized aircraft such as the A330.

Because, in terms of price, the A330 is very expensive.

318319320 and 321 these,

The price of a single frame is about US$100 million. The price of a single 330 is US$250 million, with advanced configurations reaching US$300 million.

The Airbus A320 passenger aircraft is a single-aisle, twin-engine, medium- and short-range 150-seat aircraft developed and produced by the European Airbus Company. Its output is second only to the Boeing 737, and it is the second best-selling jet airliner in history.

The Airbus A321 passenger aircraft is an upgrade and transformation based on the Airbus A320 passenger aircraft. The A321 has lengthened the fuselage of the aircraft, expanded the wing area, and installed CFM56 and V2500 engines with higher thrust. Compared with the Airbus A320, the Airbus A321 has approximately 24% more seats and nearly 40% more space, and adds two emergency exits at the front and rear wings. If a high-density cabin layout is adopted, the Airbus A321 can accommodate up to 220 passengers. passengers.

At a meeting in the comprehensive office building of [Qindao Airlines], Chen Chuan listened to the team's report and considered what to spend the US$700 million in hand.

He only has so much cash in hand now, and the income of his properties for May and June has been reported, but the income for July has not yet been released. Even if it comes out, it probably won't be of much use. It will only cost more than 100 million to less than 200 million yuan in total.

It is far from enough to buy an airplane.

"Buying two medium and large aircraft, you all have your own opinions on whether to buy 330, 350 or Boeing 787. The budget... is 700 million U.S. dollars." Chen Chuan said.

"Mr. Chen, the 330 has been launched for more than 30 years and has always been the dominant mid-sized aircraft. The 787 series just launched by Boeing competes with the 330. Although the 787 has a longer range and a more luxurious interior, after all, it has just been launched and has not yet withstood the market. The test. Moreover, in terms of price, the 787 is much more expensive. Both models can fly intercontinental routes." said a female captain of Qindao Airlines with short hair.

This heroic female captain graduated from the National Civil Aviation University in flight technology in 2015 and is a famous solo female captain of [Qindao Airlines].

As we all know, piloting is a special profession that requires quick reactions, strong physique and very professional operating skills. It is conceivable that women encounter difficulties in this profession. But the female captain did not give in in the face of difficulties. She trained hard, asked for advice humbly, prepared meticulously, and operated boldly. With her own hard work and flying talent, she was the first among her companions to fly into the sky.

Chen Chuan remained a little curious about the girl who could fly a plane, so he focused his attention on her and activated the [Health Detection].

Name: Cao Lusha

Age: 27

Health: Excellent

Evaluation: She is good at controlling airplanes, has quick reactions and thoughtful thinking, and has the potential to be the most beautiful captain in the country.

Chen Chuan glanced at her and asked, "What's the passenger capacity?"

"The A330 can carry 335 people in a two-class cabin layout, and 440 people in an all-economy class. The Boeing 787-9 can seat 259 people in a three-class cabin layout. The 787-10 can seat 330 people." The female captain said. He puffed up his chest and said.

"Why is 787 called the Dreamliner?" Chen Chuan asked.

"The nickname 'Dreamliner' for the Boeing 787 passenger aircraft was not obtained by others, but their own registered trademark, because it would be more attractive." The female captain said, "But the Dreamliner also has many outstanding features. Because it uses more composite materials, the interior of the cabin can withstand higher pressure. The cabin of other aircraft at an altitude of 10,000 meters is equivalent to a plateau of 2,400 meters above sea level, while the 787 passenger aircraft is equivalent to a plateau of 1,800 meters above sea level. Higher Cabin pressure will improve comfort, and the change in cabin pressure will be small."

Chen Chuan motioned for her to continue.

The female captain added: “Due to the advancement of materials, the Boeing 787 uses a large amount of composite materials to reduce weight. Major components such as the fuselage and wings all use composite material technology, and the weight ratio will exceed 50%. Previously, this ratio was only 20%. %. Composite materials are also widely used in engine blades, hoods and other parts. This new technology material contains 61% composite materials, which is carbon fiber, 20% aluminum, 11% titanium, and 8% steel. The production of composite materials is large Part of it was done in Japan.”

The female captain was talking eloquently and looked like she was skilled in business. This made the new boss Chen Chuan have an impression of her.

It was this impression that caused Chen Chuan to block the core score display the moment the [Health Detection] was activated.

"Boeing 787 is the world's number one ultra-long-range aircraft. The definition of the Dreamliner and the high efficiency achieved by advanced technology have realized the dream of cross-continental international flights in second-tier cities. Some domestic airlines bite the bullet and buy the 787 just for intercontinental flights. " The female captain added, "The 787 has a crazy range of 17,800 kilometers, while the A330 only has a range of 11,000 to 13,000 kilometers."

Chen Chuan understood. In the past, intercontinental voyages required extremely large aircraft, such as the A380. However, cross-continental routes in second-tier small cities are not easy to fill up, and airlines are certainly unwilling to open such routes. Now with the 787, this ultra-long-distance small and medium-sized passenger aircraft, second-tier cities can also operate intercontinental flights.

After half an afternoon of discussion, Chen Chuan felt confident.

The quotations, uses, and benefits of each model are also clear.

The A330 is priced at 240 million, 260 million, and 290 million, and the units are all US dollars.

The Boeing 787 has versions of US$280 million and US$320 million.

That is the top version of the 787-10, priced at US$325 million.

His US$700 million from UBS just bought two planes, and he also opened some very long-distance international flights. The 17,800-kilometer flight range of the 787 is almost a direct flight from London in the northern hemisphere to Australia in the southern hemisphere.
