.

On April 30, the People's Bank of China decided to raise the benchmark loan interest rate for financial institutions starting from April 30, 2006. The one-year benchmark loan interest rate for financial institutions was raised by 0.27 percentage points.

The current 5.58% was raised to 5.85%, and the loan interest rates of other grades were also adjusted accordingly, but the deposit interest rates of financial institutions remained unchanged. This is the central bank's move in less than two years.

, the third loan interest rate adjustment was carried out. In this regard, some well-known economists believe that the central bank frequently raises the loan interest rates of financial institutions mainly to strengthen macro-control of the domestic economy. This time, the regulation of monetary policy,

It has a greater impact on the domestic real estate market. House prices across the country remain high or even continue to rise, which is undoubtedly one of the important factors and manifestations of overheating domestic economic investment. The increase in the benchmark loan interest rate of financial institutions will definitely change the current high level.

Housing prices play an effective inhibitory role.

On May 3, Tongyi Municipal Government and Tangshan Municipal Government announced that the two cities have officially become sister cities. The two parties will increase exchanges and cooperation in various fields such as economy, science and technology, education, culture, health, sports, environmental protection and youth exchanges.

On the same day, Qinxi Airport Group Company also officially announced the investment and construction of the Tangshan New Airport Project. The project will be started by Longxing Construction Group in the summer of 2006, and the construction period is expected to be two years.

In 2018, it will be completed and put into use before the opening of the Beijing Olympics. The entire project is expected to cost 800 million yuan! The future Tangshan New Airport will be a 4D-level airport. It can accommodate the takeoff and landing of twin-engine medium-range wide-body passenger aircraft such as Boeing 767 and Airbus A300.

The putting into use of Tangshan New Airport will further alleviate flight congestion in the Beijing-Tianjin-Yanxi area.

On May 5th, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group announced that it had reached an agreement with Aeroflot to export to it seven MD95 passenger aircraft equipped with General Electric Aircraft Engine Company engines. At the same time, Aeroflot will also purchase from Fengyuan Aircraft Leasing Co., Ltd.

The responsible company leased five md95 passenger aircraft to meet the rising transportation demand in Russia.

This series of changes is not only exciting for people in Qinxi Province, but also exciting for many people in the country. Tangshan City of Yanxing Province has undoubtedly benefited the most from it, and Yanxing Province has also benefited a lot from it.

Although the construction of the Tangshan New Airport is under the responsibility of Longxing Construction Group, it will be a great boost to the economy of Tangshan City and even Yanxing Province. Various raw materials, building materials, steel, and natural materials are needed for the construction of the new airport.

Local companies in Yanxing Province account for the majority. Only if they cannot provide it, Longxing Construction Group will go to other provinces to purchase. More importantly, in the eyes of many people, this shows that the Fang family has great influence on the economy of Yanxing Province.

It is optimistic about the future development, and this is enough to drive a large number of domestic and foreign capital to gather in Yanxing Province.

At the same time, news also came from the capital. The senior officials gave high praise to the Fang family for their investment in the construction of Yanxing Province. They believed that their doing so had effectively supported the economic development of Yanxing Province and made up for the loss of the capital.

The economic development gap between the three provinces and cities of Tianjin and Yan has played an important role. Moreover, the high-level officials also support Tangshan City’s desire to open a highway and railway from Tangshan to Beijing, believing that this will be more beneficial to Beijing and Tangshan.

The economic and commodity exchanges between cities also strongly support the import and export trade in the capital.

On the evening of May 6, an auction was being held in the banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel in Fengyuan. The Qinxi Provincial Government this time presented a total of 16 provincial state-owned enterprises, involving glass, cement

, metal smelting, papermaking, services and many other industries. Since the promotion started as early as a month ago, it attracted many business leaders from inside and outside the province, and even businessmen from Longxi Province, Qinfeng Province, and Shuofang Province.

Fang Mingyuan also came with Guo Qing'er to participate in the auction, but the start time had not yet arrived, so Fang Mingyuan and the two were resting in a box in the banquet hall. Not long after the two sat down, Li Dongxing came over.

"Aeroflot is making a big deal this time!" Li Dongxing sat down next to Fang Mingyuan and smiled. Purchasing and leasing. Aeroflot will buy a total of twelve md95 passenger planes this time. For Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group.

It is also a big order. But what Li Dongxing values ​​​​more is Aeroflot's status in the Russian aviation industry. It is an aviation company controlled by the Russian government and can be said to be the largest airline in Russia. With its leadership, maybe

It will drive other Russian airlines to purchase md95 passenger aircraft.

Moreover, if the md95 passenger aircraft can occupy a place in the Russian aviation market, it will be of great significance and is far more gratifying than exporting to Asian, African and Latin American countries. Although Russia is now far from the economic status of the former Soviet Union in the international community, it is so thin.

A camel is bigger than a horse, and Russia’s influence in the international community cannot be underestimated. Moreover, Russia itself can also produce passenger aircraft. During the Cold War, Soviet-style civilian passenger aircraft also occupied a large share of the global aviation market. Although

Nowadays, Russia's civilian passenger aircraft manufacturing industry has declined, but the opening of the Russian aviation market to the md95 is undoubtedly an endorsement of the performance of the md95 passenger aircraft. Li Dongxing hopes that Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group can continue to open up the aviation industry of many republics in the former Soviet Union.

market, even the aviation market of Eastern European countries!

"Big deal? Hehe. How does it compare with our purchase of Boeing aircraft and Airbus aircraft?" Fang Mingyuan said angrily. Although the md95 passenger aircraft has gradually opened up the international market, it has also relied on international aviation companies led by GE Capital Aviation Services.

Dongfeng, a leasing company, has entered many countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, but its promotion to domestic airlines is still very difficult. In addition to those emerging local airlines, several major domestic airlines are purchasing md95.

They still hold a relatively resistant attitude. They would rather spend more foreign exchange to purchase the same type of passenger aircraft from Boeing and Airbus than spend the same money to purchase a few more MD95s.

If it is said that the range and performance of the md95 cannot meet the requirements of these major airlines, Fang Mingyuan will not say anything. After all, airlines have to arrange the aircraft models they purchase according to their own route conditions and business philosophy, and match short-, medium- and long-distance passenger aircraft.

, even Kowloon Airlines has placed orders with Boeing and Airbus. Who makes Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group currently unable to produce long-range large passenger aircraft? Can the airlines be blamed for this?

However, it is clear that the md95 can completely handle short- and medium-haul domestic routes, but these airlines are trying to shirk it. Over the years, the total number of md95 passenger aircraft purchased by several major airlines is not even forty, and they are basically all shareholders.

The controlled local airlines are using it! How could this not make Fang Mingyuan angry about domestically produced passenger aircraft, but they do not get strong support from state-owned airlines!

"Isn't that still of political significance?" Li Dongxing was startled for a moment and said with a wry smile, "Young Master Fang, those stubborn guys have to take their time. Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group was established late. It has already purchased overseas passenger aircraft.

It has become a small group. Of course, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group is unwilling to take a piece of the pie. However, now major local airlines are rising, and Qinxi Airlines and Kowloon Airlines have now become well-known domestic airlines.

Airlines, their power is constantly being reduced, while the market share of domestically produced aircraft is constantly increasing. We are very satisfied with such a situation, and this is not something that can be achieved quickly."

He could understand Fang Mingyuan's mood, but Li Dongxing knew very well that it was not easy to break the purchasing monopoly of Boeing and Airbus on several major state-owned airlines.

To be honest, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group's current market position is far beyond the imagination of many people. They originally thought that Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group could revitalize this part of its assets and drive the development of the domestic aviation manufacturing industry.

They couldn't be more satisfied. McDonnell Douglas has been annexed by Boeing, and its production lines have been closed. McDonnell Douglas's aircraft models will definitely gradually withdraw from the global aviation market. By then, Qinxi Airlines

Even if a manufacturing group becomes a component manufacturer for Boeing and Airbus, this is a big achievement! No one expected that Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group is now not only a component manufacturer for Boeing and Airbus, but also a component manufacturer step by step.

The MD95 passenger aircraft has been promoted overseas. Although it is still far from being comparable to Boeing and Airbus, it is gradually catching up with Canada's Bombardier Aerospace and Embraer. Moreover, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group has now become

We have become an important manufacturer of parts for MD series passenger aircraft, supplying maintenance and replacement parts for MD series passenger aircraft to overseas airlines.

Fengyuan has now become a well-deserved Chinese civil aircraft production base, one of the best!

"Hmph!" Fang Mingyuan said in a relaxed tone, "Why is Uncle Li here today? Isn't today a provincial enterprise auction?"

Li Dongxing was startled for a moment, and said helplessly: "Master Fang, it seems that you really don't care about these enterprises. The auctions today are indeed provincial enterprises, but the city can also take shares in provincial enterprises. The governor does not

Time comes in person, so I have no choice but to come. Besides, isn’t it Mr. Fang that you also want to participate?”

Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and said, "I'm here just to support the province. Uncle Li, don't expect me to seriously acquire these companies." Fang Mingyuan came here today to help Su Aijun gain a foothold and to avoid state-owned assets.

The loss of this batch of enterprises launched by the province. Although the Fang family does not like it, there are also many people inside and outside the province who like it. Among them, there are some people who want to be empty-handed or to significantly lower the auction price. Fang Mingyuan

I am here to act as a back-up and break up any possible black-box transactions.

Of course, if everything is in compliance with the procedures and the values ​​that these enterprises should have, Fang Mingyuan is just here to hang out and meet acquaintances.

"If you wanted it, there would be no auction like this." Li Dongxing sighed. He knew that the province actually wanted to package all these enterprises and sell them to the Fang family, even if the price was 20 to 30% cheaper.

Secondly, the prices given by the Fang family are always fair, and people can't tell what is wrong. Secondly, they are packaged and sold, which also saves a lot of trouble. Thirdly, when the Fang family reorganizes these enterprises, they will also make better arrangements for them.

All employees of the company, not the province, have to keep a close eye on them, otherwise, those who take over will not know what tricks they are going to play! (To be continued.)
