The first thousand one hundred and eighty-six chapters are all actors
In the afternoon of that day, Li Guangyu, Cao Weiqing and their four children went to He's Cemetery together. At the same time, He Zuozhi also came here accompanied by He Ji.
Even though ten years have passed, He Zuozhi is still sentimental. The grief of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person away is difficult for outsiders to understand.
On this afternoon, He Zuozhi said a lot in front of his daughter's tombstone. He was sad and sentimental about her daughter's early death, and he was pleased to praise Li Guangyu's achievements.
He Zuozhi, who no longer cares about the family business, is now more emotional. While taking care of his old age, he often recalls the past, especially his daughter who left early.
Now Li Songqian, as the only girl in the fourth generation of He Zuozhi's family, is also extremely loved by He Zuozhi. This may be why He Zuozhi puts his feelings for his daughter on this girl who is his great-grandchild.
Since Li Songqian was the only girl among several children, she was favored in every aspect over her twin brother Li Songjie. Li Songjie could only be her follower. If Cao Weiqing hadn't suppressed her, she would have been able to control the family.
A huge commotion.
After November 30, the last day of the month and the first day of the new week, Li Guangyu came to the office and waited for the arrival of the guests.
This time the person coming this time is still Kendi Jesse from Airbus. It has been more than seven years since Li Guangyu first met him in 1981.
The man who was once just over fifty is about to reach the age of sixty. Now he is the second-in-command of Airbus, with power second only to the president of the company.
After sitting down in the reception area, Kendi Jesse said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I am very happy to meet you. I would also like to congratulate Xiangjiang Air Transport Group on the official completion of its aircraft maintenance and support bases in Sao Paulo and London."
Li Guangyu understood very well that Kendi Jesse came over in a hurry, hoping that he could purchase their company's aircraft. After the maintenance and support bases of these two major airports were established, Xiangjiang Airlines would be in short supply of aircraft again, and a batch of new aircraft would be needed to ensure that
The opening of the company's new routes and the normal operation of the original routes.
Especially for aircraft on ultra-long-distance routes, Xiangjiang Airlines has always been in short supply. The Airbus A330 has been flying normally for nearly a year without any flight accidents. The safety performance is still very reliable, Li said.
The US$5 billion allocated by Coslight to Xiangjiang Air Transport Group was mainly for the purchase of A330s.
As prices rise in various places, airplanes are becoming more and more expensive. In the past, a Boeing 747 only cost 40 million U.S. dollars, but now the price of the same type has exceeded 50 million U.S. dollars, and now one costs around 53 million U.S. dollars, and
Prices are rising every year.
As the main competitor to the Boeing 747 series aircraft, the Airbus A330 is also not cheap. This is because Xiangjiang Airlines is their big customer and has given many discounts in order to seize the Boeing 747 market. The current unit price of one aircraft is also
48 million US dollars.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Jesse, I am very happy to meet you again, and thank you for your attention and congratulations to Xiangjiang Airlines. The completion of the two maintenance support bases in Sao Paulo and London has also enabled Xiangjiang Airlines to better serve our customers."
Travel services for citizens everywhere.”
Kendi Jesse knew that Li Guangyu’s time to meet him was limited, so he didn’t go around in circles with Li Guangyu and went straight to the point.
He said sadly: "Mr. Li, you must have heard the news about South African Airways Flight 256 the day before yesterday. The Boeing 747-200 taking off from Taoyuan International Airport crashed on the way to South Africa, killing more than 100 people on board.
It became an extremely sad tragedy.”
Of course Li Guangyu knew the news, and he specifically asked Gan Qin to inform Zhao Wenhua, again emphasizing aircraft safety and flight safety.
It's just that Li Guangyu is very doubtful about how much real emotion Kendi Jesse is showing about his back pain.
This time may be sad news for many countries and families, but it is definitely very good news for Airbus. The accident happened this time to a Boeing passenger plane, which is a big blow to their competition with Boeing in the market.
Quite good news.
"I was very sad when I received this news. Such a disaster was too terrible. Before takeoff, there were more than 170 living lives, and they were gone just like this. I even questioned myself for establishing such a
Whether an airline is right or wrong, I'm really afraid that one day something like this will happen to Xiangjiang Air Transport Group."
Kendi Jesse was quite speechless in his heart. He expressed his sadness in the hope of using this to hit Boeing and get Li Guangyu to buy more Airbus aircraft.
As a result, Li Guangyu was even more sad than he was, which probably meant that he was no longer prepared to continue operating the airline.
He didn't believe that Li Guangyu would really have such an idea. Li Guangyu was not a man of faith. If Li Guangyu was so emotional, he would never have been able to develop the Li Group to its current level in a short period of time.
Kendi Jesse did not continue to play the sad card with Li Guangyu. He said out loud: "Airlines can shorten everyone's travel time. Although there will be some accidents, this will not affect the development of the air transportation industry.
, after all, accidents will occur in all kinds of travel and transportation, and this is something that cannot be completely avoided.
Choosing a relatively safe aircraft can minimize the occurrence of such accidents, and our Airbus aircraft have no problems with safety performance and are very suitable for the development needs of Xiangjiang Airlines."
Li Guangyu now mainly chooses to cooperate with Airbus, so he does not go around in circles with Kendi Jesse.
He said aloud: "We at Xiangjiang Airlines have chosen to cooperate with Airbus over the years. Now the cost of purchasing aircraft is rising. Can Airbus offer some profit concessions? At present, our funds at Xiangjiang Airlines are really tight. If this continues
Expansion is really unsustainable.”
Kendi Jesse would never believe that the Lee Consortium would have no money. Multiple projects in the Kowloon Group were under construction at the same time. Chunghwa Electric Group and their French Thomson Company were about to reach an acquisition agreement. Wheelock Shipping Company was in Eastern Europe.
Ship-to-ship transport of oil and liquefied natural gas.
Several Wheelock Plazas in Japan have also begun construction, and construction of the Hengyu Building in Xiangjiang has begun.
In Kendi Jesse's view, Li Guangyu clearly has too much money and no place to use it. Otherwise, with so many buildings, he would have to build another Hengyu Building with an investment of more than HK$5 billion.
"Mr. Li, Airbus has always given Xiangjiang Airlines the most favorable price, which is far lower than what we sell to other Asian airlines. With so many people in our airline having to eat, the price can no longer be lowered.
, and I hope Mr. Li can understand our difficulties."
Li Guangyu is also relatively clear about the prices of other airlines in Asia, but he believes that these prices are definitely higher than those of several European airlines, especially the state-owned airlines of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
He told Kendi Jesse: "This time due to the putting into use of two new bases and the lack of ultra-long-range passenger aircraft in our airline, we plan to purchase 100 Airbus A330s this time, so the price is expected to
Your company can make some concessions."
Xiangjiang Air Transport Group currently has 176 passenger aircraft and 30 cargo aircraft. This time it will purchase another 100 passenger aircraft, and the total scale will exceed 300 aircraft.
