Resource Tycoon Reborn

"I am Nicolas Toni Batum, director of Air France-KLM Group. We once met outside the Valencia Castle." Batum smiled, and Fang Mingyuan immediately remembered the other one.

The person is Jeff Ayers Ruger Anderson Welf, Angelina’s cousin. When Fang Mingyuan brought Zheng Jiayi and Li Xintong to Europe, Angelina personally acted as a guide to Valenci

During the visit to the castle, he also met Zheng Jiayi’s schoolmate and suitor, and later met with Batum. Batum wanted to promote cooperation between Air France-KLM Group and the Fang family’s companies. Calculating that this has already happened

Several years have passed.

"Director Batum, I'm sorry!" Fang Mingyuan smiled and stretched out his hand, "I couldn't recognize him for a while."

"It doesn't matter, I can understand. Because I think you Orientals, unless you are very familiar with someone, you can't tell them apart." Batum said with understanding, "Congratulations on getting the Welf family.

Friendship, Fang!" Being able to appear so solemnly at the handover ceremony of the new and old patriarchs of the Welf family fully demonstrated Fang Mingyuan's status in the Welf family, which made Batum envious.

Jeff, who was standing aside, rolled his eyes covertly. Fang Mingyuan not only gained the friendship of the Welf family, he also took away the most beautiful flower of the Welf family, his and Angelina's child.

He will also become a direct member of the Welf family. However, old Welf has issued a silence order on this matter, and even he dare not publicize it to the outside world. Even Philip can eventually become the new patriarch of the Welf family.

, one of which also has a big reason for Fang Mingyuan.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. There were many guests in the hall just now, but he didn't notice that Batum was also invited to attend.

"Do you have any free time? Let's sit down and talk somewhere?" Batum said enthusiastically, "You helped me a lot last time, and I didn't even have time to say thank you in person." The last time I was with Fang Mingyuan outside the Valencia Castle.

After the meeting, after some negotiations, Air France-KLM Group increased its flights to various parts of China by twelve times a week. Although correspondingly, China Airlines also had many more flights to Europe, but

The board of directors of Air France-KLM Group has been quite satisfied, and Batum’s voice in the board of directors has been strengthened. This time in Dortmund, how could Batum let go of further narrowing the relationship between the two parties?

Chance.

Fang Mingyuan thought for a while, pointed to a pavilion not far ahead and said, "Then let's go there." Anyway, if you don't talk to Batum, you will definitely be dragged along by others.

Jeff did not follow him, the two sat down in the pavilion. Batum smiled and said: "Actually, I have something to ask for. I heard that your country's new Tongyi Airport and Dubai World Center International Airport will be completed soon.

We, Air France-KLM Group, hope to be able to launch direct flights from Europe to the two places by then."

"Yes, but I also have requirements." Fang Mingyuan said cheerfully, "I heard that Air France-KLM Group has a subsidiary that is responsible for short-distance air transportation. They usually purchase Embraer's e-series aircraft. I, Qin,

Although Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Co., Ltd. cannot build long-distance large aircraft, it now has three models of short- and medium-distance aircraft, which have obtained airworthiness certificates from the United States and the European Union. They are cheap and high-quality. Is your company interested? " Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group

The sales of passenger aircraft have also been affected by the economic crisis. Although there is no need to consider reducing production at the moment, the reserve orders have been decreasing, which is also a problem. Now that Air France-KLM Group has found its way to him, he naturally has to pay for it.

Ask for some benefits yourself.

Batum was startled for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. Air France-KLM Group did intend to purchase a batch of short- and medium-range passenger aircraft for its subsidiaries to replace the aging passenger aircraft in the fleet. The person in front of him,

Obviously he took a fancy to this order.

"Our company has always used Embraer's e-series aircraft. If we change to your company's model, there will be a lot of inconvenience." Batum said awkwardly.

"Oh, since your company is in such a difficult situation, forget it. I won't force it. I will ask Air Berlin and Lufthansa later if they are interested." Fang Mingyuan waved his hand casually.

Batum grinned inwardly, regretting not keeping Jeff. Fang Mingyang did not force Air France-KLM Group to purchase Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group's products. He had the nerve to ask the other party to purchase Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group's products at Tongyi New Airport and Dubai.

Will World Center International Airport give the green light to Air France-KLM Royal Dutch Airlines? The company believes that these two new airports are of great significance in opening up the air transport market in China and the Middle East. If it can successfully obtain their takeoffs and landings

This power has obvious significance for further improving his status in the company. Especially since the company is seeking the right to speak of Alitalia, it attaches even more importance to it.

Moreover, as the troika of the European air transport industry, Air Berlin and Lufthansa are actively expanding. How can China, a country with a huge population, not develop rapidly in the air transport industry in recent years?

This makes them jealous. These overseas airlines are actively seeking direct flights to major domestic airports in China, but it is not easy to get approval.

Qinxi Airport Group Company, a subsidiary of the Fang family, controls airports in many cities in China, especially Tongyi New Airport, which is the largest and most well-equipped airport under construction in the northwest region. It can be said that it has attracted a lot of attention since the beginning of construction.

The concern of many people in the industry is that Tongyi New Airport can be said to be fully controlled by the Tongyi Municipal Government and Qinxi Airport Group Company. However, before its opening, these two major shareholders did not negotiate with these airlines at all.

Batum also learned that Fang Mingyuan was in Dortmund, and thought that they had a cooperative relationship before, so he brought it up. However, he did not expect that Fang Mingyuan would be interested in their large purchase order this time.

As one of the top airlines in Europe and even the global air transport industry, Air France-KLM Group's passenger aircraft purchase orders are naturally the focus of the global aircraft manufacturing industry. Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group currently does not have the ability to compete with

Boeing and Airbus compete for orders for long-range large aircraft, but the competition with Embraer and Canada's Bombardier has already begun. In Fang Mingyuan's view, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group's three types of passenger aircraft now cover a range of

With a distance of more than 2,000 to 5,000 kilometers, it is fully capable of competing with these two major regional aircraft manufacturers.

After thinking about it, Batum gritted his teeth and said: "Fang, I don't have much say in this aspect of aircraft procurement. I will pass your request back to the board of directors for a decision."

Fang Mingyuan said calmly: "Director Batum, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you. One of the shareholders of Qinxi Airport Group Company is Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company, and it has considerable say. Yet you simply rejected its products like this?"

, it rejected your company in the board of directors, and we can’t say anything. To be honest, Tongyi New Airport is not worried about not having enough airlines to settle in.”

Batum's face couldn't help but darken, but he couldn't refute this. Qinxi Province is located at the easternmost point of northwest China, and planes taking off from Tongyi New Airport can reach the entire territory of China. With Qinxi Province

With the economic development of the province, the status of Qinxi Province in China and even the global economy is also rising rapidly. This can be seen from the increasing density of flights taking off and landing at Fengyuan International Airport. Tongyi is undoubtedly another Qinxi province

The two future economic core cities in Western Province and their new airports will inevitably become the focus of competition between China and major airlines around the world. If Air France-KLM cannot enter, airlines from other countries will naturally compete with China

Local airlines are added.

Moreover, Batum is also worried about another point. Qinxi Airport Group Company is not only the Tongyi New Airport, it also controls many other airports in China, and many of these airports are in China.

In second-tier cities, if Qinxi Airport Group Company does not cooperate in the future, it will cause a lot of trouble for Air France-KLM Group to increase the number of flights to China.

But... in any case, his meeting with Fang Mingyuan today can be regarded as a success. It is better to set conditions to show that there is something to negotiate than to refuse outright, Batum comforted himself in this way.

The two talked about the current situation of the international air transport industry and their views on the next few years. Among them, Batum highlighted Alitalia and Japan Airlines. These two companies were in serious losses, and even Japan Airlines

There will also be reorganization and expressed concern. Fang Mingyuan certainly would not mention that Japan Airlines has already been taken over by a strong person. If no accident occurs, it will not be long before it will be reborn. Although it is impossible to quickly restore its previous position in the industry, but

It will still be a world-class airline.

Batum is envious of the new Kobe Airport and Jeju New Airport that Qinxi Airport Group Company has obtained in Japan and South Korea. These two airports provide too much for the Fang family’s airlines.

of convenience.

Fang Mingyuan did not leave Germany until the third day of the ceremony. During these three days, he met with more than 60 high-level European people, including Bertram. However, the meeting between the two had no substance.

Meaning, Bertram was just giving an explanation to the board of directors of Intesa Sanpaolo. It was naturally impossible for Fang Mingyuan to help Bertram expand his influence in Intesa Sanpaolo.

Angelina continued to stay in Germany and stayed with old Welf. After handing over the position of patriarch to Philip, old Welf seemed to have settled a worry and his whole mind relaxed.

But his physical condition is still not optimistic, and the doctor believes that the old man only has a few months to live.

After Fang Mingyuan left Germany, he did not return directly to China. Instead, he went to Moscow, Russia, because there was an unexpected person waiting for him there.

"Fang, let me introduce, this is Zuhair Ali Hidikormani, the ambassador of Iran to our country." Alexander Vasily Ivanovich, Minister of the Ministry of Interior of the Russian Federation, introduced Fang Mingyuan enthusiastically.

.

"Mr. Ambassador, it's an honor to meet you." Fang Mingyuan said politely.

"Mr. Fang, I have heard of your name for a long time, but it is a pity that I have never had the opportunity to get to know you." Hidi Colemanni said with a smile, "Originally, our ambassador to China should have come to discuss this matter with Mr. Fang.

, but you have never been in the capital, and this matter requires help from Russia, so I can only ask Mr. Fang to come to Moscow."

Hidi Kormani approached Fang Mingyuan with the purpose of purchasing a batch of md90 passenger planes from Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company to replace Iran Air's old fleet.

"Our country's airlines were originally one of the safest airlines in the world, but due to decades of international sanctions, our country's civil aviation fleet has now become an elderly fleet. And because the Americans have prohibited us from purchasing

For the spare parts used to repair passenger planes, we have to smuggle or even ground some of the passenger planes, and remove the spare parts to maintain other passenger planes." Hidi Coleman said angrily, "This makes our air transportation safety worse.

There is no adequate guarantee. We hope to receive a batch of passenger aircraft from your country to replace those of our airline that should have been retired long ago."

Fang Mingyuan frowned slightly. Iran Air could not get new aircraft and was in trouble. He had known this for a long time. But if Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Co., Ltd. exports md90 passenger aircraft to Iran, it will definitely attract Americans and Boeing.

dissatisfaction with Airbus. Although the worst case scenario is that Boeing breaks the contract and no longer authorizes Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group to produce Boeing 717 aircraft, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group can still continue to produce MD series passenger aircraft. But Fang Ming is far from willing

Regardless, will Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group's md series passenger aircraft lose the market in other countries?

"Fang, we know very well that this request carries considerable risks for you, so we thought of a way to avoid this risk." Minister Ivanovic interjected, "Your company can first send the aircraft

Sell ​​it to us in Russia, and then we will sell it to Iran Air."
