The first thousand two hundred and six chapters are expected
When Zhao Wenhua led the group's top executives to the capital, the response he received was not beyond Li Guangyu's expectations. It was not possible for Xiangjiang Airlines to open routes between mainland cities in the mainland for the time being.
No matter what the reason is, it is impossible for Xiangjiang Airlines to get a share of the mainland market anyway. Currently, it can only open international routes to the mainland from outside.
In Li Guangyu's office, Zhao Wenhua said: "Li Sheng, it is currently impossible for Xiangjiang Airlines to enter the market and seize the market. However, the other party has no clear objection to the joint venture. I estimate that as long as we do not hold a controlling stake, we can still cooperate with mainland airlines."
The company’s joint venture.”
Zhao Wenhua has studied the mainland aviation market. Taking the international flights he currently operates as an example, the occupancy rate is getting higher and higher. He believes that the mainland aviation market will definitely be huge, and he does not want to give up such a cake just like this.
Since his own group cannot enter now, it can only take a roundabout way. He believes that when the time and conditions are mature in the future, his group will be able to take control of the joint venture airline.
Li Guangyu is naturally aware of the potential of the mainland's aviation market in the future, especially in the 21st century. Passenger traffic is rising rapidly every year. There are hundreds of airports with annual passenger traffic exceeding one million, and dozens with tens of millions.
Although the return on investment in this aspect of investment is not as fast or as high as in the Internet industry, the impact in this aspect cannot be underestimated. The most basic guarantee for people is food, clothing, housing and transportation, and airlines are related to this aspect of transportation.
Xiangjiang Airlines Group now has seven base airports. Except for Australia, Eastern Europe and Africa, which are not fully deployed, they are only on the mainland.
Li Guangyu in Eastern Europe is not in a hurry. After another two years, he can easily deploy it. As for the deployment in Africa, it doesn't matter. As for Australia, Li Guangyu is still hesitant about whether to put it in Perth International.
The airport is still located at the Oriental Port International Airport, which is already planned.
The most difficult thing is the mainland market. In the past, no airline outside the mainland has established a base at mainland airports. Even Cathay Pacific, which was the dominant airline in the past, failed to succeed.
It is very difficult for Li Guangyu and other senior officials to push Xiangjiang Airlines forward. At least for now, there is no possible hope.
Li Guangyu pondered for a while and said: "At present, your airline is mainly improving our route layout and making our routes more reasonable. As for joint ventures with mainland airlines, you can enter into joint ventures with some newly established airlines in the mainland.
Communicate with, such as Sichuan Airlines, Ludao Airlines, and Pengcheng City Government."
Zhao Wenhua was very happy to listen to Li Guangyu's instructions. After Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company became independent this time, the strength of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group has been reduced a lot. Especially in terms of aircraft maintenance and support of their air transport group, it must be like other airlines.
Similarly, they have to pay according to the market price. Although their group can get some discounts, the profits of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company no longer belong to their own group.
Now Li Guangyu has asked him to negotiate joint ventures with some newly established airlines in the mainland. This is a good opportunity for Xiangjiang Air Transport Group to expand its strength.
Sichuan Airlines and Ludao Airlines in the Mainland are still just starting out and have only a few aircraft. Pengcheng Airlines has no shadow yet and is relatively weak. It is a very good opportunity for them to invest in shares now and there is investment demand.
Not big either.
Zhao Wenhua responded: "Li Sheng, I have been trying to communicate with these companies in the past few days. I believe they are very eager for their airline to become stronger. As long as their controlling rights are not threatened, they should not refuse.
Injection of foreign capital.”
Li Guangyu does not intend to intervene in this aspect. He believes that Zhao Wenhua can do a good job on his own. Xiangjiang Air Transport Group has invested enough funds. The future expansion of the group will be met by the group's own profits.
Now Xiangjiang Air Transport Group has completely secured its position among the top five airlines in the world. In front of it, only a few American airlines have fleets that can surpass Xiangjiang Airlines. In Asia, Xiangjiang Airlines has the largest fleet.
All Nippon Airways has secured its top spot.
The group can rely on its own profit for one year to meet its subsequent expansion. In the future, Xiangjiang Airlines will not grow by leaps and bounds like it has in recent years, purchasing dozens or hundreds of aircraft at one time, and Xiangjiang Airlines does not have such a large demand.
In the future development, Xiangjiang Airlines will purchase aircraft reasonably according to its operating conditions to meet the company's development. Even if there is a new airport base in the future, there will be no need to suddenly add a large number of aircraft. The current routes are already relatively reasonable, and one-time
It is impossible to suddenly add too many routes. With a base airport, all we need to do is change the routes.
Li Guangyu has been a nanny for many of his groups for many years, allowing them to expand rapidly. Now many groups have stabilized, and it is time for him to let go. These groups have been relying on their own blood transfusions to become a century-old company.
Yes, only if they compete and develop themselves can the company develop in the long term.
In the future, Li Guangyu will focus more on taking care of groups that are still in their early stages of development and have long return cycles, as well as some high-tech R&D industries such as Xuelan Supermarket Group, Petrochemical Group, Kowloon Group, Lithography Machine Company, and Zhuque Software Company.
Li Guangyu will not continue to inject capital into companies whose profits are sufficient to support the development of his own group, such as Xiangjiang Air Transport Group, Jiade Group, Phoenix Group, Xiangjiang Communications Group, etc.
Li Guangyu said aloud: "When the financial handover was made this time, I did not divert your group's profits. This money will be used for the group's expansion this year. Regarding your company's proposal to purchase thirty Airbus A320s, I personally
Yes, I support it, but I hope you will consider more about how to optimize our company's routes and improve our profitability in the future, rather than just thinking about expanding the company's fleet."
Zhao Wenhua also knows that many members of the executive team have a lot of opinions on his purchase plan this time. Li Sheng has just injected 5 billion US dollars into them and placed an order for 100 Airbus A300s with Airbus. This time has not yet
In the past month, he proposed a plan to purchase 30 Airbus A320s, which caused considerable dissatisfaction among the executive team.
You must know that the interests within the executive group are also mixed, and the members of each major executive group also have their own forces. If Xiangjiang Airlines invests more, it naturally means that the investment of other groups will decrease accordingly. Naturally, some members of the executive group do not agree.
.
Fortunately, Li Guangyu took more care of their air transport group this time, and finally agreed to his plan, allowing them to add thirty more planes. Once all these planes come back, Xiangjiang Air Transport Group will have 306 passenger planes and 30 cargo planes.
aircraft, the goal of 500 aircraft is not far away.
At present, only American Airlines and Delta Air Lines have more than 500 aircraft. Zhao Wenhua is confident that within five years, Xiangjiang Air Transport Group will reach the third place. His ultimate goal is that one day the group can own
With thousands of aircraft in operation, it ranks first among global airlines.
