The shareholders and management of Cathay Pacific Airways also attended the dinner, and their faces immediately turned gloomy. As the company that benefited the most after the Hong Kong government proposed this policy in the 1980s, after the news spread,

, Cathay Pacific's stock will undoubtedly face a sharp decline, and this will only make matters worse for Cathay Pacific, which has been deeply affected by the June 28 terrorist attacks!

Although before the establishment of Kowloon Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways had already guessed that Kowloon Airways was definitely unwilling to accept the constraints of this policy and give up many mature route markets. Like Dragonair back then, it struggled to

Open up new routes. Moreover, over the years, Hong Kong people have been dissatisfied with Cathay Pacific's monopoly on the Hong Kong aviation market, which has also given the Hong Kong government sufficient reason to change this policy - reject industry monopoly! It has occupied more than 80% of the local aviation market in Hong Kong, and

Cathay Pacific Airways, which controls the second largest airline Dragonair, is not a monopoly, so who else can be called a monopoly?

Therefore, before the establishment of Kowloon Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways actively lobbied the Hong Kong government to modify this aviation policy to a limited extent, and imposed operating life limits on airlines that could break this rule. For example, only if they successfully operate

Airlines after three to five years will be exempt from this regulation, thereby minimizing the impact on Cathay Pacific.

However, it seems that Cathay Pacific's lobbying has failed. Since the Civil Aviation Department announced it at this dinner, it is impossible for the revised result to be detrimental to Kowloon Airlines. Otherwise, it would be a public attack on the Fang family and the Guo family.

, the Zheng family and the Li family have lost face! Not to mention the status and influence of the companies under these four families in the Hong Kong economy, it is only the influence of Mr. Guo, Mr. Zheng and Li Chaoren in Hong Kong's upper class society.

, was enough to make Lin Guangyu fall to the lowest level of society from now on.

Just after Lin Guangyu's speech, Chen Jingtao, the first president of Kowloon Airlines, stood on the stage again and said excitedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, let us now welcome Mr. Gritello, President of Airbus, and Vice President of Airbus with warm applause.

Mr. Merkel, President, and Mr. Motiejunas, Boeing’s Managing Director, Mr. Crawford are here!”

The people present were immediately in an uproar. No one thought that the top executives of the two giants, Airbus and Boeing, would actually give face like this and appear at the banquet celebrating the establishment of Kowloon Airlines! And this kind of thing seems to be happening.

This has never happened before!

"Did you invite all the top executives of the two major companies?" Zheng Jiayi asked Fang Mingyuan with her eyes widened in surprise.

Fang Mingyuan shrugged and said: "I didn't invite them, they took the initiative to come to celebrate." Just for this matter. Just tell which company should be mentioned first during the introduction, the order in which to deliver the congratulations on stage, and the positions of the people attending.

, both sides were fighting for every inch of territory, and Fang Mingyuan was at odds with them for quite a long time.

An Yixin on the side couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The president and vice president of Airbus and the two managing directors of Boeing, this Fang Mingyuan has such a great reputation! And according to Fang Mingyuan's intention, these senior officials are rushing to fawn over him.

?This, this, this... is not impossible! He suddenly remembered the little-known identity of the young man in front of him, and it seemed normal that the giants of the two major companies would give him some extra preferential treatment.

"How is that possible?" Zheng Jiayi blinked and said in disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible, as long as you pay enough!" Fang Mingyuan turned his eyes to the people on the stage and said calmly.

Motiejunas took a step forward, took the microphone on the table and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Greg Motiejunas, the managing director of Boeing Company. He is my colleague, James Anderson, the company's managing director.

Crawford. We are entrusted by the Boeing Board of Directors and Chairman Philip Condit to come here to express our company’s heartfelt congratulations to the official opening of Hong Kong and Kowloon Airlines!" The audience naturally applauded.

piece.

Before Motiejunas could say more, Gritello had already taken a step forward, picked up another microphone from the table and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Robert Gritello, President of Airbus. This is

One is my deputy, Eric Merkel. Today, we come to Hong Kong on behalf of Airbus to celebrate the official opening of Kowloon Airlines." The audience naturally burst into applause again.

Next, the two directors of Boeing and the two presidents of Airbus launched into a congratulatory message that was both "warm and friendly", tit for tat, and full of competition. Most of the people present were smart people.

, how could you not see it? For a while, people couldn't help but talk about what kind of trick this Kowloon Airlines was playing to actually make the two giants of the civil aircraft manufacturing industry do this!

"If you could buy twelve passenger planes on the spot and then tell them that in the next five years, the company plans to purchase fifty more passenger planes, they would do the same!" Fang Mingyuan chuckled. This time in Ukraine, in the air,

The bus company and Boeing are basically in a tie. Kowloon Airlines has purchased six passenger planes from each of the two companies. Naturally, only six passenger planes will not be taken seriously by the two companies, but if there are still potential

If the order for 50 passenger planes is worth at least billions of dollars, then for this big deal, especially at this time, it is even more precious, and Gritero would be willing to go there in person. If not

At a critical moment for a large domestic military aircraft purchase order in the United States, Boeing Chairman Philip Condit really couldn't get away from it. Otherwise, he would definitely have come to congratulate him in person.

"Ah?" Zheng Jiayi covered her mouth in surprise. Although she came from a rich family, this big deal of dozens or dozens of airplanes was also very impactful to her. An on the side

Yixin was even more stunned.

"How can you digest so many planes?" Zheng Jiayi couldn't help but grabbed Fang Mingyuan's hand and said urgently. She finally understood why the giants of the two major companies came to Hong Kong in person to support the opening of Kowloon Airlines.

Nowadays, the international aviation industry is generally in recession. Many airlines are facing the possibility of cutting flights and even going bankrupt. Even Cathay Pacific Airways publicly announced a while ago that in 2001

After the June 28 terrorist attacks, Cathay Pacific faced huge losses!

Even Cathay Pacific, which monopolizes Hong Kong's aviation industry, is losing money. You can imagine how difficult life is for other airlines! And at this time, Fang Mingyuan not only bought twelve new planes,

We still need to place an order for 50 more aircraft. If such a big customer doesn't hurry up, he will be thinking badly.

However, how is it possible to make money by purchasing so many aircraft in such a short period of time? Even if Fang Mingyuan is rich, if he keeps losing money... it will be a bottomless pit. This is how Dragonair was crippled back then.

of.

Fang Mingyuan patted her hand gently and turned to look at An Yixin. An Yixin immediately excused herself and retreated into the crowd.

"If I'm not afraid of scaring them, I actually want to order a hundred planes first!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. The 30% discount is equivalent to buying four planes for the price of three planes. Such a beautiful thing,

It's true that there is no such store after passing this village.

"You think this is buying egg tarts on the street! Let me ask you, how can you digest so many planes?" Zheng Jiayi slapped him twice angrily. There are also a hundred passenger planes, Cathay Pacific Airways

The company's fleet is nothing more than this, but it has only been acquired after half a century of development. Fang Mingyuan has to build a new fleet of more than 60 aircraft in five or six years, which is too much.

Radical!

How can it be digested? Fang Mingyuan is not worried at all. No one knows better than him that in the next ten years, China's aviation industry will develop at a terrifying speed. However, in just ten years, the number of passengers has tripled.

Fan! If it weren't for various reasons that caused tight airspace on routes and serious flight delays, even if the high-speed rail was opened, it would definitely not be a big deal for airlines. Otherwise, how could there be "empty air"?

The emergence of "Nu people"? This shows that air transportation is still an unavoidable way of travel for many people. For an airline, as long as it has enough passenger planes and enough hotspot airports, the Civil Aviation Administration and management

As long as the military in the airspace takes care of it, and its service and company management are better, if it still loses money, it is absolutely unacceptable! Even if the worst happens, Kowloon Airlines will not lose money if it sells the aircraft.

.

"Tell me! How can you digest it?" Zheng Jiayi saw him smiling and saying nothing, and couldn't help but became a little anxious and urged.

"Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Anyway, just relax!" He told her empty-handedly that China's aviation industry would develop explosively in the future, and Zheng Jiayi had to believe it.

Ah. So, it’s better not to say anything.

"How can I relax?" Zheng Jiayi was almost going crazy. Why does this kid always do such risky and radical things? Success once or twice does not mean that he will always succeed! No matter how high the mountain, you will encounter a tiger.

Reason, doesn’t he understand?

Under Zheng Jiayi's tireless questioning, Fang Mingyuan could only helplessly whisper in her ear: "I am currently discussing with the mainland capital government about the acquisition of Nanyuan Airport in Beijing. At present, we have basically made plans. And China Aerospace

Secretary Guo Qingshan of the Industrial Group Company is helping me find out what’s going on at Pengcheng Bao’an Airport!” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
