Resource Tycoon Reborn

"In your country's House of Representatives election tomorrow, which political party do Chairman Tanaka and Maeda-kun think more about?" Fang Mingyuan asked with a smile.

"I am a member of the Komeito Party." Yuji Maeda replied.

Tanaka Zuo Tetsuji hesitated for a moment and then said: "I am a supporter of the Liberal Democratic Party." Fang Mingyuan's dislike of Manga Taro is not a secret in the middle and upper classes of Japan. If I may say so, as the president of the Kobe Chamber of Commerce and Industry

Tanaka Zuo Zheji didn't want to answer this question at all. Not to mention Fang Mingyuan's special status in the hearts of Kobe citizens, just from an economic perspective, Fang Capital's position in the economy of Kobe City is also increasing.

important.

"I am optimistic about the Democratic Party." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "If Hatoyama Yukio, the leader of the party, can serve as prime minister, the current tense relationship between the two countries will be greatly eased and may even be normalized. By then, the relationship between the two countries will

People-to-people exchanges will be closer than now. For this reason, I believe that the new Kobe Airport will be busier in the future, and the economy of Kobe City will also benefit a lot from it. The number of tourists will double.

, just my conservative estimate.”

Tanaka Zuo Tetsuji and Maeda Yuji looked at each other in surprise. Although the Democratic Party was ranked first in the pre-election polls, until the election is settled, who dares to say that they will be the winner of the election? The election.

Although there are not many precedents of being overturned, it is by no means a handful. However, if...it is true as Fang Mingyuan said, after Hatoyama Yukio became Prime Minister, he was able to make the Kobe New Airport

If the number of inbound tourists at least doubles from the current level, it will be very important to the economic growth of Kobe City.

"If Yukio Hatoyama can become prime minister and the relationship between the two countries eases, our family will also increase investment in Japan. I am very optimistic about the future of Kobe's economy. If there are opportunities for cooperation in the future, we will also

Please President Tanaka to facilitate this." Fang Mingyuan's eyes fell on the face of Tanaka Zuozheji, who was trying to keep calm, and asked with a smile, "President Tanaka, you won't refuse because of partisanship, right?"

"Hey, Tanaka will never abandon public service for personal reasons. Tanaka is first of all a citizen of Kobe, the president of the Kobe Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and then a supporter of the Liberal Democratic Party." Tanaka Zuo Tetsuji felt a shiver in his heart and immediately lowered his head and replied.

"It would be great if President Tanaka can think like this." Fang Mingyuan patted Tanaka Zuo Tetsuji's shoulder and said with a smile, "If you two believe me, you might as well advance... Haha." Maeda Yuji and Tanaka Zuo Tetsuji also agreed.

Fang Mingyuan laughed. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, Fang Mingyuan didn't care. Anyway, if they were smart and capable, it would be normal for their wealth to double or triple by then.

"If Mr. Fang needs anything from Tanaka, just ask him. Tanaka will do his best for Mr. Fang." Tanaka Zuo Zheji said with a smile, "If Mr. Fang comes to invest in our city, we will all welcome him with both hands.

of."

"I can guarantee that President Tanaka said this from the bottom of his heart!" Yuji Maeda also said with a smile, "Wherever Mr. Fang's capital falls, he will receive great attention." Japan is a country prone to disasters, and earthquakes

, volcanoes, typhoons, and tsunamis, it can be said that they come one after another. In a year, there are not many days of peace and tranquility. Although the Japanese themselves have long been accustomed to this kind of life, who doesn’t want to live in, or have their factories abandoned?

In a stable place? It can be said that Fang Mingyuan's ability to predict disasters has become a household name in Japan. Wherever he invests heavily, it will definitely become the first choice for those seeking a stable place for capital. If they want to come, Fang Mingyuan will be the first choice for his own.

The location chosen by the company must be a relatively safe place.

"Then I can rest assured. I will definitely trouble President Tanaka some time in the future!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"It is my honor to serve Mr. Fang!" Tanaka Zuo Zheji said excitedly. As long as he embraces the Fang family, no one can shake his position in the Kobe Chamber of Commerce and Industry! He is already thinking in his heart.

Which companies have the city acquired shares in?

"Maeda-kun?" Fang Mingyuan turned to ask Maeda Yuji while admiring the scenery on both sides of the road, "Have you heard that Japan Airlines may file for bankruptcy protection?"

"Hi! I did hear some rumors, but... I personally think that even if it does file for bankruptcy protection, the Japan Enterprise Renewal Support Agency will make appropriate arrangements and will not allow other companies to acquire it." Yuji Maeda looked at it.

He glanced at Fang Mingyuan and said, "If Fang Jun is interested in our country's airlines, I think medium-sized airlines focusing on domestic routes are more suitable." Maeda Yuji has learned that Fang Mingyuan has acquired Jeju Airlines and

Regarding the shares of Korean Global Airlines, I also secretly lamented the strength of the Fang family, which seemed not to be affected by the economic crisis at all.

Fang Mingyuan didn't seem to notice that Tanaka Zuozheji's ears had perked up and asked with a smile: "Did Maeda-kun refer to Star Malaysia Airlines?"

Maeda Yuji nodded and said: "Hi! Star Malaysia Airlines is one, I think there is another one..."

Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and said: "To be honest, I don't appreciate this kind of airline that operates purely domestic routes." Japan's small land area, the emergence of roads and railways, especially the Shinkansen, makes it difficult to travel between islands unless it is between islands.

Short-haul air flights are simply unprofitable on these routes. The Fang family entered the Japanese aviation market to make money, not to solve the employment problem for the Japanese.

"But I personally think that as long as the planning is good and in cooperation with other airlines under Fang Jun, purely domestic airlines can also ensure profitability." Yuji Maeda said, "There are many large and small airports in our country, and the number of flights at many airports is far from sufficient.

In order to support the normal operation of the airport, as long as Fang Jun can arrange enough tourists, then these airports are very welcome to have new flights taking off and landing. It is even possible not to charge our flight takeoff and landing fees."

"If there are no take-off and landing fees, where will the operating expenses of these airports come from?" Tanaka Zuozheji said in astonishment.

"The local government will provide subsidies." Yuji Maeda explained, "Because the number of flight takeoffs and landings at some airports is too low, if we can bring a large number of tourists to the local area, it will significantly boost local shopping and economy.

Of course, this requires travel agencies to have strong planning capabilities and explore local characteristics. Even... they will be happy to hand over the operation of the airport to us!"

Yuji Maeda has worked in the civil aviation system for many years and is very familiar with the situation of civil airports in various places. Japan’s land area is only more than 300,000 square kilometers, but it has hundreds of large and small airports. Excluding military airports, helicopter airports, and civil aviation

The number of airports is still quite impressive. They are located in almost all larger cities across the country, with more than 30 airports with an annual passenger flow of more than one million passengers.

However, in such a densely populated airport, not all airports can have enough food. Due to various reasons, there are also many airports where the number of flights per year cannot even guarantee the normal operation of the airport, let alone stimulate local development.

The role of economy. The reason why the Kobe New Airport was originally agreed by the Japanese government to be handed over to Qinxi Airport Group Company for operation was that the Japanese government asked Fang Mingyuan at that time. More importantly, because of the existence of Osaka Kansai Airport.

After the opening of the new Kobe Airport, there will not be enough flights to take off and land. Not only will the huge investment not be recovered, but it will become a huge burden for Hyogo Prefecture and Kobe City! As an important economic city in Japan, Kobe City is still like this

, other non-core cities are naturally not much better.

After Yuji Maeda became the person in charge of Kobe New Airport, he also participated in many industry meetings. I don’t know how many local airport directors expressed strong envy for the current situation of Kobe New Airport. Today’s Kobe New Airport,

Although the passenger flow and cargo volume cannot be compared with those of domestic core airports, they are much better than those of non-core airports. It not only provides hundreds of local jobs and pays considerable taxes,

By stimulating the development of other local industries, you can also make considerable profits!

Therefore, Maeda Yuji sometimes wonders if we can have a few more non-core airports in Japan to form a network with Kobe New Airport as the core. For these airports and Kobe New Airport, both

A profitable thing. Why do those core airports have such booming business? It’s because the cities where they are located are the local core cities, and they are also important transfer airports!

If his idea were to be promoted by the Kobe New Airport, it would definitely be called a fantasy. The Kobe New Airport is now profitable, but it does not have the ability to require airlines to open these routes. Without routes, these airports

It has become a tree without roots and water without a source! And these Japanese airlines, because these airports cannot provide enough passengers at all, will naturally not open up new routes!

Relevant departments of the Japanese government have been struggling over the years to revitalize these non-core airports. After all, just leaving them there is a huge waste of assets. The public also has considerable opinions on this. As for local governments

In fact, these airports not only fail to create wealth, but have become local decorations, and voters are also very dissatisfied with this.

But what Fang Mingyuan said just now suddenly awakened him. If... this matter is led by Fang Mingyuan, it is very possible! If Yukio Hatoyama is elected as Prime Minister, relations between the two countries will ease, and a large number of Chinese tourists will enter

For Japanese tourism, if the Fang family owns another Japanese domestic airline, then a new aviation network can be established with Kobe New Airport as the core! It consists of Qinxi Airlines, Kowloon Airlines, Korea Global Airlines, and Jeju Air

Responsible for transporting overseas tourists into Japan, and then Japanese domestic airlines are responsible for transporting these tourists to Japanese islands. The Fang family also has investments in the tourism industry. If there is another domestic travel agency in Japan to cooperate, this plan will be

will be more complete.

Maeda Yuji's words made Tanaka Sa Tetsuji's eyes widen as wide as two bells. He never expected that Maeda Yuji would actually propose such a plan. But this plan is very important to the city of Kobe.

, but it couldn’t be better. If Kobe New Airport can become an important domestic transfer hub, the benefits it will bring in all aspects will be extremely considerable.

Fang Mingyuan also saw gleams in his eyes. He knew very well how terrifying the "army" of Chinese overseas tourists would be in the future. It would be nothing to fill a new airport in Kobe. What's more, Kowloon Airlines and Korea Global Airlines were okay.

Tourists from other countries around the world are continuously transported to Japan. Although many tourists from European and American countries travel independently, if the travel agency is well organized, there is a lot to be done.

The most important points in this plan are that one is to have a capable airline responsible for transportation, the other is to have a capable travel agency organization, and the most important one is to have enough passenger sources. And these three points can be said at present

They have already begun to take shape. They only need to find a few more suitable regional airports in Japan and acquire shares in a domestic airline. I believe that in the current economic crisis, Yukio Hatoyama, who came to power, still has to give this face.

own, and this is also in line with the interests of the Japanese region. You can get a lot of benefits from the "army" of tourists traveling to Japan!

"Maeda-kun's idea is very good!" Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and asked with a smile, "Has Maeda-kun ever traveled to Dubai?"

"No, I've always wanted to go, but I couldn't spare the time." Maeda Yuji replied with some confusion.

"Okay, let me remind you. Do you know the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai? I have the right to use a top suite there. You can take your family there with you. You can enjoy the first class service of Kowloon Airlines.

The right to use the cabin and the top suite for seven days. As for other expenses, not exceeding 30,000 US dollars, all can be reimbursed. As a reward for your proposal!" Fang Mingyuan said, "But I would like to remind you, it is best to book in advance, during the peak season.

At that time, even the top suites in Burj Al Arab were very popular.”

Tanaka Zuo Zheji immediately took a breath of cold air. Of course he was no stranger to the Burj Al Arab. The year before last, he went to Dubai to stay for a few days. But the top suite of the Burj Al Arab Hotel has an area of ​​nearly 800 square meters and can be enjoyed 24 hours a day.

A luxurious residence with private butler service and an accommodation fee of nearly 20,000 US dollars per night has made more than 99.9% of the people in the world only look at it in pictures and videos!

Moreover, there are only a few top-level suites in the Burj Al Arab Hotel. In many cases, you are not able to stay in one if you have money!
