Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

  Chapter 910 Civil Aviation

   arrived at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel

   Yang Chen took the two to look at the room

  Although the hotel is not tentatively scheduled to open to the public and has not emptied the guests, the flow of guests has been controlled. People from other places, not particularly well-known tenants, are not allowed to stay during Prince Charles’ stay.

   This is mainly for safety reasons and to avoid unnecessary accidents.

  In the Presidential Suite

   "How is it? Are you still satisfied?"

   Yang Chen looked at Charles Spencer who was looking around the room and asked, Prince Charles doesn't need to ask, because he has already stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel once.

   The room he stayed in this time was the same as last time.

   It's all like that, the room that Yang Chen arranged for him is already the best in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, even if he's not satisfied, it's useless.

   "Satisfied, very satisfied." Charles Spencer said.

   The first time he came to Xiangjiang, what he saw along the way, to be honest, the prosperity of Xiangjiang really exceeded his expectations, especially the earliest developed area of ​​Xiangjiang Island.

  As Asia's future financial center, the development of Xiangjiang Island, the construction of hundreds of years, is really no joke.

   The place where the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is located is also the most prosperous central location of Heungkong business, which belongs to the most essential part of Heungkong.

   Therefore, in the eyes of Charles Spencer, Hong Kong, an international metropolis in the East, is no worse than London, the capital of the United Kingdom.

  Although Westerners like to look at Eastern issues with their own tinted glasses, they have to be divided. People like Prince Charles and Charles Spencer, the real British aristocracy, generally seek truth from facts.

  The fact that they saw with their eyes, they would not insist on not admitting it. Of course, there was also a part of Yang Chen's reason for this.

  It is actually very simple to gain the recognition of Westerners. As long as your wealth reaches the point where they can only look up, no matter how proud they are, they will bow their heads in front of you.

   "It's good if you're satisfied. If you're not in a hurry to go back to London, you can spend a few more days in Hong Kong, and I'll send you a special plane to take you back."

   "Press?" After Prince Charles heard it, he asked curiously, "Yang, have you built the airport in Haojiang?"

   "No, the airport over the Haojiang River will take about two or three years to complete. You know, reclamation is a very time-consuming thing, and I don't have the ability to change the airport."

Under the curious eyes of Prince Charles, Yang Chen explained with a smile: "However, the airport that I jointly invested with the inland government in the Special Economic Zone has been successfully tested. If I go abroad in the future, I can bypass Kaide Airport, and I don't have to be afraid. Accidentally fell into the sea..."

  Prince Charles frowned and said, "I remember, it's been two years since you mentioned the airport last time, right?"

   "Accurately speaking, it only took a year, and it has been repaired."

   "At present, more than 20 seats have been built there. In the future, if there are no accidents, it will reach hundreds of seats. The population base of the inland, its scale is several times the current budget of Kai Tak Airport."

   "Yang, are you kidding me?" Charles shook his head forcefully, expressing his disbelief in what he said.

   You must know that the annual passenger volume of Kai Tak Airport has not exceeded 10 million, but it is very close to this number. Even so, Kai Tak Airport is already one of the busiest civil airports in Asia.

   Now Yang Chen told him that an airport several times larger than the Kai Tak Airport would be built in the inland, how could Prince Charles believe it.

  The Heathrow Airport in London is now known as the busiest airport in Europe, and the annual passenger volume is only 35,000.

  Heathrow Airport is only three times the size of Kai Tak Airport.

   Prince Charles didn't believe that a Heathrow Airport could be built inland. Even if it was built, he felt that Yang Chen would not be able to make money from it.

   Yang Chen didn't intend to explain too much about Prince Charles' doubts, no one knew better than him how fast the inland economy was developing.

   As the first inland airport open to air traffic, it was Baoan Airport in the former Special Economic Zone. In the future, the annual passenger volume exceeded 40 million, which is more than four times that of the current Kai Tak Airport.

The    airport is the foundation of the development of civil aviation, Yang Chen will not miss it, nor will foreigners take advantage of it.

   The airport invested by the special zone was a trial between Inland and Yang Chen, and it was just the beginning. When Bao'an Airport became effective, the cooperation between him and Inland in airport civil aviation would follow.

   In the future, the civil aviation in coastal cities and first-tier cities in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, Yang Chen has already begun to deploy. In the future of inland passenger transportation, according to Yang Chen's idea, it is to let foreign airlines have no gaps to drill.

   Worth a question. The reason why Inland opened him up in civil aviation was mainly thanks to Cathay Pacific. Earlier, Swire Pacific had to choose to sell Cathay Pacific to him in order to avoid confrontation with Yang Chen.

Of course, in order to get Cathay Pacific, Yang Chen also paid a lot to help Taikoo get through the difficulties of lack of funds before, but compared with money, Yang Chen's influence after gaining Cathay Pacific is really great. .

  Inland China is now reforming and opening up. If you want to be in line with international standards, the construction of civil aviation is inevitable. However, foreign airlines are not interested in the current civil aviation in the inland.

   These days, there are really not many people who can afford to fly in the inland. In a country without a civil aviation market, tell me, which foreign airline is willing to come?

   Apart from Yang Chen, I really couldn't find a second one.

   There is an international airline like Cathay Pacific, and it is not stupid in the inland area. Instead of asking people to ask grandpa to tell grandma, asking Yang Chen to come over for help is not only reliable, but also reassuring.

  Since the inland side has cooperated more and more with Yang Chen, the big guy has gradually tasted the sweetness.

It should be said that the cooperation between Yang Chen and Inland has always been based on mutual benefit. He did not blindly allow Inland to give him a big discount, nor did he pay or ask for nothing like Huo Daheng and the others. In return, help inland construction.

   His situation is different from those of Huo Daheng's patriotic Chinese businessmen. He now needs to rely on the support of the United Kingdom to a large extent to expand the development of his own industries.

   It is impossible for him to rely on the United Kingdom to make money, and send money to the inland without asking for anything in return. Everyone understands the principle of not suffering from a few but suffering from inequality.

  If he invests in the inland without asking for return, then the UK will also require him to do the same in the UK, so it is very necessary to have a bowl of water on the surface.

  The cooperation with the mainland is based on mutual benefit and normal business transactions, which is actually the best way to invest.

   And the inland side is also willing to accept this kind of cooperation. Sometimes it is not uncommon for a hot face to stick to a cold butt.

   This is mainly caused by some of our special cultures. The so-called diligence for nothing, stealing if not a traitor, and free things are not necessarily good, this is the normal psychology of most people.

   Yang Chen's cooperation method, on the contrary, went more smoothly than Huo Daheng and the others, and was more popular with the inland side. Some of the difficulties Huo Daheng encountered rarely happened on his side...
