I originally thought that a bureaucratic veteran like Director Ma must be talking a lot of empty words, but in the end, Zhou Qingfeng actually felt a little passionate and responsible.
The intention is simple - you provide the money, I hire the people, and everyone does the work.
The country can provide policies. Let’s go hand in hand and go on a road without fear of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Even if we are all destroyed in the end, we will not let the ‘Holy Light’ family suffer.
This is a hymn of loyalty. Director Ma just wanted to sing "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" on the spot. Things have come to this - Mr. Zhou, you have to agree, right?
After Director Ma finished speaking, he stared at Zhou Qingfeng. Zhou Qingfeng also stared at him coldly for half a minute. Only the rumble of the passenger plane's engine could be heard in the cabin.
Everyone held their breath, hoping to get an answer.
Even a 'no rejection' stance is good.
"When did the directors of ministries and commissions become so easy to talk to?" Zhou Qingfeng's face was expressionless and his tone was not fluctuating, as if he was dissatisfied, "This makes me uncomfortable."
This question was filled with unspeakable resentment.
Director Ma's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to convince the God of Wealth. Everyone watching was anxious for him, which could mean the possibility of a far-reaching cooperation.
Within a few seconds, Director Ma, who was always eloquent, was in a state of confusion. He was suppressed by Zhou Qingfeng's mental power and could not think of a good excuse.
Xiao Jinlang was secretly worried beside him, knowing that the longer it took, the worse it would be, but this answer was not good, and it would probably be a waste of conversation, and it would really be nonsense in the Longmen Formation.
Everyone was anxious, and Chen Mu, who was working next to him, said, "Director Ma is old. But he wants to go further and hopes to continue working for a few more years."
oh......?
Zhou Qingfeng turned his head and glanced at Chen Mu. He just said, "Okay, I'll think about it." Then he waved to the flight attendant and asked, "What is there to drink on the plane now?"
The onlookers breathed a sigh of relief, but Director Ma was also worried. Everyone didn't say anything, and returned to their seats one after another, calling the stewardess for something to drink.
Those last few sentences really left my mouth dry.
The team flew from Tianyang to the provincial capital, and then from the provincial capital to the imperial capital. Before Zhou Qingfeng arrived, the name had already appeared in the imperial capital's newspapers.
This time, '** News' reprinted an article about him,
Before flying to the imperial capital, the "Harmony Weekly" controlled by the "Holy Light" began to publicize and build momentum again. The headline on the front page was printed with Zhou Qingfeng's majestic profile picture, and the content was...
"Mysterious Rich Man Betting on Mainland China's Civil Aviation Industry".
This shameful operation has happened again.
Xiao Jinlang played the "export-to-domestic sales" strategy on the imperial paper media, using hk tabloids to create news, and easily gave himself free publicity.
Zhou Qingfeng used the same trick when he acquired Tianyang State-owned Enterprises last time, with excellent results. Now the news that overseas idiots are going to enter the mainland civil aviation industry is once again overwhelming.
The common people in the imperial capital opened the "** News" and it was the introduction to the 'Holy Light' series. In the current bad economic situation, Zhou Qingfeng's entrepreneurial story is so inspiring!
Of course, don't mention super killer comics, smuggled goods, and HK adventures. Just ignore them.
While public opinion was fermenting, Xiao Jinlang made a request to the Planning Commission on behalf of "Shengguang", hoping to purchase the Tu-154 passenger aircraft from the Soviet Union and retaining the possibility of introducing an overhaul line at the same time as the aircraft was purchased.
When 'Shengguang' annexed Tianyang State-owned Enterprises before, it obtained the import and export rights for foreign trade. However, projects such as passenger aircraft still need further approval.
Lao Maozi is in the process of disintegration, but there is no delay in making money. They had already sent people to talk to the Nande Group, and after receiving business inquiries from the 'Holy Light', they also expressed their willingness to talk.
This discussion kicked the Nande Group out of the game.
The deputy minister of the Ministry of Aviation Industry of the Soviet Union happened to be in the imperial capital. In order to order several passenger aircraft and a set of overhaul lines, the other party expressed his willingness to condescend to meet Zhou Qingfeng.
After all, Maozi’s side is really difficult.
When Zhou Qingfeng landed at the Nanyuan Airport in the Imperial Capital with a large negotiation team, the media stopped them at the exit of the dilapidated terminal building as soon as they got off the plane.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, I am a reporter from hk's 'Harmony Weekly'. Please accept the interview."
Director Ma and other team members have lived for decades and have never seen Zhou Qingfeng's tricks. Even Lin and Huang don't understand what their CEO is up to.
Seeing the HK reporter wearing a vest, carrying a press card, and holding a camera or even a camcorder, dozens of people were sweating nervously. They quickly arranged their clothes and even helped the reporter correct his appearance.
"Even HK reporters came to report on our 'Holy Light'?" Oriole faced the camera for the first time, with a stiff smile.
Lin Wan was also very unnatural, but she pretended to be generous and whispered forcefully: "We are a company with international influence."
Wait..., which company did the reporter just claim to be from?
"Harmony Weekly"? This media sounds familiar.
The interview was just outside Nanyuan Airport. This place... is broken!
The terminal building is built like a small station, and it is surrounded by the suburbs of the imperial capital. Twenty years later, this area will become a vast wasteland. Even the roads are so bad that it is unbearable to see.
Despite this terrible environment, Uncle Zhou walked up to the reporters naturally and said with a faint smile: "You HK reporters run very fast. Do you have any questions?"
The reporter was also a novice and became very nervous after recognizing the interview target.
"Mr. Zhou, we have noticed that the 'Shengguang Group' is in contact with mainland authorities regarding the civil aviation industry. May I ask why you want to get involved in this extremely challenging industry?"
Zhou Qingfeng listened to the accent and took another look. The reporter from the Harmony Times in front of him seemed to be a local from the Imperial Capital. I don't know where Xiao Jinlang found him. Maybe he was a college student from the Imperial Capital.
This is the special correspondent of the Harmony Times in the imperial capital.
Although it is an in-house media, it still needs to look good. Zhou Qingfeng originally asked Xiao Jinlang to send someone to take some photos and send out a press release.
But Director Ma’s words on the plane worked.
"When you say 'extremely challenging,' you mean it's too difficult."
Zhou Qingfeng smiled with emotion, "But it's just because it's difficult that I have to do it. The mainland's civil aviation industry has huge potential. In the next thirty years, there will be a trillion-dollar market, with a purchase volume of more than 3,000 aircraft."
In my opinion, this is an industry that should be entered early and benefited early. The civil aviation industry chain is very long and involves extremely complex R&D and supply. If developed well, it can drive tens of millions of people to achieve economic development."
The reporter who was temporarily transferred was a little confused, and the answer was a little different from what he expected. He was not very skilled in the interview business, so he could only continue to ask dryly: "Uh... how much money does 'Holy Light' plan to invest?"
?”
“Our company’s current capital flow is very abundant, its financial situation is extremely healthy, and the funds invested in the purchase of passenger aircraft will not be less than one billion US dollars.
I know this number will scare many people, and they may even not believe it. But it doesn't matter, after all, we have no plans to raise funds externally.
Money has never been a problem for me. What I care more about is technology and management, which are even more lacking in mainland China."
Zhou Qingfeng simply answered two questions and accepted the flashlight with a smile.
I have to say that as a 'perfect body', he is young, high-spirited, handsome, and his tall and straight figure is full of charm and confidence. The two beautiful women around him are an extremely perfect foil.
There is also a large group of team members at the back like a background board, which just covers the wasteland outside the airport, making the photo look more impressive.
'Shengguang' bought a property in the imperial capital and had a special representative office to manage the property. Xiao Jinlang personally arranged for two 'Mercedes' and a bus to wait outside the terminal.
The group of people headed to the city in a mighty manner.
The domestic aviation industry is actually very short of aircraft, especially large aircraft. However, the Y-10 project died and the project team was disbanded. All airlines had to spend foreign exchange to purchase them from abroad.
Regardless of whether it is Airbus or Boeing, the current price of cheap narrow-body regional airliners is more than 40 million U.S. dollars. The bare metal price of the Tu-154 is around 7 to 8 million U.S. dollars, which is very, very cheap.
As for how the Tu-154’s notoriety came about?
In 1994 and 1999, two domestic air crashes occurred on the Tu-154. Among them, the Xi'an air crash in 1994 killed 160 people and was the most tragic accident in the history of domestic civil aviation.
Although the accident was later found to be caused by errors in ground maintenance, the technology of Maozi cargo was indeed inferior to that of Europe and the United States.
The Tu-154's fuel consumption, maintenance costs, aviation material consumption, and even the in-flight parking rate are much higher than those of Airbus and Boeing products. Needless to say, its riding experience is almost the same as riding in a green car.
After about 1996, this stuff was no longer imported into the country, and it was completely grounded in 2002. After all, the country had money to buy high-end goods at that time.
